On January 20, FAW Toyota Corolla Sharp Release was officially listed, priced at 129,800-169,800 yuan, the new car was built based on the TNGA-C platform, and a total of five configurations were launched: pioneer version, elite version, deluxe version, premium version and flagship version, equipped with 2.0L+CVT power combination.
Half a year ago, FAW Toyota's SUV models were still supported by Rongfang and Yize, and today FAW Toyota has rapidly formed an SUV matrix composed of Crown Land Release, LingFang and Corolla Ruifang, which can be seen from FAW Toyota's determination to make a big difference in the SUV market.
As FAW Toyota's best-selling SUV model, rongfang price is slightly more expensive, and although Yize has a good sports attribute, but the performance in terms of space and other aspects is not enough to meet the consumers of family cars, the positioning is more practical and the price is relatively close to the people, as FAW Toyota's most beginner SUV, it is likely to succeed Rongfang as the most popular SUV model of FAW Toyota.
Combination of Corolla + RAV4
FAW Toyota Corolla Sharp Release, the shape looks like a "small RAV4 Rongfang", but in terms of styling, it is actually closer to the American version of the Corolla Cross, is a sister model of GAC Toyota Fenglanda. The Corolla Replay combines the characteristics of the Corolla and SUV models, retaining the Corolla's fuel-saving durability while taking into account the multi-functional and large space characteristics of the SUV model.
Based on the user's demand for large space and practicality, the Corolla Sharp Amplifier has an excellent performance in terms of length, width and height of 4460/1825/1620mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2640mm, which is both a seating space and a storage space.
At the level of riding space, the front and rear head space of the Corolla Sharp Release is very abundant, and the rear window has a large light transmission area and a wider field of view.
In terms of storage space, the volume of the carola's luggage is 438L, and the luggage is designed with a scientific ground height, so that even female users can easily carry their luggage.
In addition, the rear seats can be reclined in 4/6 proportions and have an adjustable reclining angle in 2 positions. The height of the back door opening is 787mm, the opening height is optimized, if there are children at home, it will be easier to carry in the process of getting into the car, or there are elderly people, it will also add great convenience.
The perfect balance of power and fuel consumption
In terms of power, the Corolla Rebbe is equipped with Toyota's latest 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 126 kW and a peak torque of 205 Nm, matching a simulated 10-speed CVT transmission with a combined fuel consumption of 5.9 liters/100 km, and the new car is expected to provide a THS hybrid version in the future. This power system may feel average when placed on the rongfang, but it should be able to have a good power performance when put upside down and sharply placed.
This power system compared to the competitors Qashqai, Binzhi, XR-V, Volkswagen Tange, Tuyue and other competitors, is the most competitive part, compared to the 1.4T and 1.5L displacement engines equipped with these models, The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and CVT transmission of the corolla sharp release this powertrain, although the power performance is not eye-catching, but the overall driving matching and fuel economy performance should not disappoint.
All-round security
In terms of safety, the Corolla Reifang is equipped with the TSS II Smart Travel Safety System, which is different from most of the other models that are only equipped with the top, and the Corolla Rei has achieved the standard of the whole series on the active safety configuration, which includes a pre-collision safety system, a dynamic radar cruise control system, a lane-following assist system and an automatic adjustment of high beam systems.
However, the new car is not equipped with a full LCD instrument, but uses a combination of pointer + LCD display. In addition, the top model also has additional PVM panoramic monitoring, exterior mirror heating, and electric waist support for the driver's seat.
The pre-collision safety system can detect the lead vehicle, pedestrians (day and night) and bicycle (day and night) through millimeter wave radar and monocular cameras, if the system determines that the probability of collision is high, the PCS will assist in avoiding collisions and reducing damage through warning, brake control, and enhanced braking force; while the DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system detects the advance vehicle through millimeter wave radar and monocular camera, maintaining a suitable distance to follow the vehicle (with full speed domain follow-up function), helping to reduce the fatigue of long-term driving.
In addition to the active safety configuration of the level, The Corolla Rui also attaches great importance to passive safety, the whole series is equipped with 7 SRS airbags as standard, and the high-end model has reached 9 SRS airbags, and the use of high rigidity body and other designs, as far as possible to reduce the damage to the occupants of the car after the collision, the initiative is safe two-pronged, The Corolla Ruifang will provide users with a full range of protection beyond the five-star safety.
Fully series of torsional beams or groove points
However, unexpectedly, the rear suspension of the Corolla Sharp Release this time actually uses the torque beam type, which is also the first time that the domestic TNGA architecture model has appeared non-independent suspension, and the lower price of the Corolla is also used in this piece of independent suspension, it is likely that this configuration will become the object of everyone's complaints, and at this point, the Corolla Sharp Release is really unreasonable.
As for the market prospects, in the price range of the Corolla Ruifang, there are many spaces, more power, stronger configuration and higher configuration of the existence of the independent brand compact SUV, the joint venture brand competitors Binzhi, Qashqai, Tange, etc. also have a good competitiveness, although the market space for compact or small SUVs is gradually shrinking, Ruifang also has the possibility of highlighting the siege, in addition to Toyota's good reputation in the Chinese market for many years and the durability of the model, Corolla's family pedigree and excellent hybrid system are also the magic weapon of Ruifang.
