On January 20, 2022, FAW Toyota Corolla Rui completed the listing online, and this model that shined at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show gave Toyota fans a satisfactory answer with a price of 129,800 to 169,800 yuan. As early as the news that this new SUV model will be introduced into the country, we have actually done a lot of detailed analysis of this car. However, even the best product strength should be based on a reasonable price, so after FAW Toyota announced its official price, we felt the need to make a more purchasing reference analysis of this car for your reference.
Corolla Remo is an original Toyota global model, another Toyota blockbuster product introduced by FAW Toyota, and its prototype car is the American version of COROLLA CROSS. Although the Corolla Relex is a brand new model, as a derivative of the Corolla, it has the same trusted excellent quality as the Corolla. In 2004, Corolla entered China. After 18 years of deep cultivation in the family car market, the twelfth generation of Corolla under the TNGA architecture has achieved complete innovation from R&D design to procurement and manufacturing, and has formed a family camp containing a variety of power and versions to fully meet the diverse needs of users. Corolla Relian combines Corolla's genes with the charm innovation of SUV, which is not only the inheritance innovation of the Corolla family, but also an enhanced supplement to the SUV matrix.
Regarding the analysis of The Corolla Sharp on the design, we have also analyzed it in the previous in-depth articles, so today we will analyze its inherent hard power.
Corolla Sharp's length, width and height are 4460mm/1825mm/1620mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2640mm, which has a significant advantage in the same class of competitors. As an SUV with compact positioning, the Corolla Sharp has achieved "maximum use" in terms of space. The front head space is 105mm and the rear head space is 87mm, which gives the occupants enough space in the car to greatly improve the comfort of sitting in the car.
The tall rear door frame design not only increases the field of view and light transmission area of the rear row, but also increases the practicality of the new car to a certain extent, making it more convenient for the rear row to get on and off and to pick up and put items. At the same time, as a derivative of the Corolla, the design is aimed at being more friendly to use in the city, so the Corolla sharp chassis is lower, with a door frame with an opening height of 787mm, which greatly facilitates the elderly, children and passengers with infants to get on and off the car, which will be a very advantageous advantage for users who drive in the city every day.
In terms of storage space, the Corolla Sharp luggage volume reached 438L, and because its C-pillar did not have a large bevel, it performed better in depth, so that the space was used more efficiently.
Safety has always been Toyota's car-making guidelines, and on the Corolla Sharp, the leading safety features of Toyota that we are familiar with have all appeared.
The Corolla Remos series comes standard with the next generation toyota Safety Sense safety system, including PCS Pre-Collision Safety System, DRCC Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, LTA Lane Track Assist System and AHB Auto-Adjust high beam System. These driver assistance systems can reduce the driving intensity of the driver to a certain extent, reduce or avoid some traffic accidents.
In terms of power, the Corolla Relex models currently on the market are equipped with TNGA 2.0L Dynamic Force Engine engine and Direct Shift-CVT transmission, with a maximum engine power of 126 kW and a maximum torque of 205 N·m. The powertrain has been used on a number of TNGA models, and its reliability and fuel economy have been fully verified. The thermal efficiency of this TNGA 2.0L engine can reach 40%, which is why only a dedicated engine for the hybrid system could achieve such a high thermal efficiency before Toyota applied the TNGA.
At the same time, as a naturally aspirated engine, the liter power reaches 63 kW/L, which combines high thermal efficiency and high output performance. It not only focuses on improving the efficiency of the engine itself, but also comprehensively improves the powertrain system. Make full use of the advantages of naturally aspirated engines with high thermal efficiency to continue deep ploughing and further expand the scope of high thermal efficiency zones.
Corolla Rui, built based on the TNGA architecture, was placed at the beginning of research and development, which reduced the center of gravity of the vehicle. Not only does the low-rise exterior shape bring the inherently sporty design, but also the handling performance of the new car is more stable.
Corolla Ruifang is another masterpiece of FAW Toyota's continuous deepening of market segmentation, which is a supplement to the existing SUV models, which not only makes the FAW Toyota SUV product matrix and upgrade chain more perfect, but also gives consumers a very product-oriented choice when choosing a car.
Compared with RAV4 Rongfang, The Corolla Sharp is more advantageous in terms of price, and at the same time, in the chassis ground clearance, the Corolla Sharp Is also lower and more suitable for urban use. Relatively speaking, Corolla Resten is also more suitable for family use, and the price advantage will also be favored by more young consumers.
Although corolla Ruifang and Yize are somewhat similar in body size, the positioning and product power of the two are completely different, and the target users are also different. Corolla Ruifang with its more stable shape and space advantages, its user group is more balanced with a group of family members, and Yize because of its avant-garde fashion style, its target customers are more playful, more attention to the personality of young users.
Therefore, the emergence of Corolla Ruifang is not a repetition of existing products, but a more comprehensive complementarity, which will form a 1+1>2 complementary relationship with the existing FAW Toyota SUV, so that consumers with different needs can choose more calmly.
In the face of the competitive models that have been deeply cultivated in this market segment for many years, Corolla Sharp put the strength of the bottom, standing on the shoulders of the twelfth generation of Corolla, the "giant", Corolla Sharp Fang has no product advantages that are latecomers, let's compare the competitive models to analyze it.
Compared with its own brother model Fenglanda, in terms of model configuration, the Corolla Sharp Release configuration is clearer and more reasonable, without any routine.
On the entry-level model, the Corolla Ruifang Pioneer Edition is priced at 129,800 yuan, and the Fenglanda Elite Edition is priced at 125,800 yuan. The starting price of Corolla Replay is 4,000 yuan, but this 4,000 yuan is the new generation of Toyota Safety Sense security system that comes standard with Corolla Replay, and its importance is self-evident. In addition to this, practical features such as daytime running lights and adaptive far and near light have been added, and it is clear that The Corolla sharpens the value for money at 4,000 yuan.
Corolla Sharp Release Pioneer Edition guide price of 139,900 yuan, Honda X-RV guidance price of 139,800 yuan, we use these two cars as a representative, to see what are the advantages of The Corolla Sharp And the same level of Japanese competitors.
First of all, in terms of power, the price of the two cars that are basically the same, there is a difference in power, the 2.0L engine equipped with the Corolla Sharp Amplifier is much stronger than the 1.5L engine of the X-RV in use, and there will be no embarrassment of "small horse-drawn carts".
In terms of active safety configuration, Corolla Resplace once again took a big lead in the new generation of Toyota Safety Sense security system that is standard in the whole series, and at the same time, in terms of passive safety, Corolla Resplander also standard equipped with 7 airbags for the whole vehicle, and the configuration advantages are extremely obvious.
In terms of body size, the Corolla Replay also has an overwhelming advantage over the X-RV, which also creates its advantage in the interior space, so the Corolla Requiem is more suitable for family use than the competitors of the same level.
Although the new domestic car has just been launched, it is not yet possible to know the market's recognition from the sales volume, but we have found sales in the United States, Japan and Thailand from foreign media. In the U.S. market, the Corolla Cross has sold more than 7,203 units in three months since its launch in October 2021, while in the local Japanese market, the fuel version and hybrid version have achieved 17,780 and 15,000 units, respectively. In the Thai market, the Corolla Cross was launched earlier and had a high degree of market recognition, ranking first in the compact SUV list in 2021, with sales of 18,770 vehicles exceeding Honda's HR-V sales by 4 times. The success of overseas markets is enough to prove the recognition of Corolla Cross in the hearts of global consumers, and it also says that its product strength can indeed overwhelm the crowd.
At the same time, we also extracted the evaluation of Corolla Cross by overseas netizens of the department, and it can be seen that most of the department netizens are still more recognized for Corolla Cross, and many people are the owners of The Corolla car series, because of their trust in Corolla, they are also very convinced that Corolla Cross must be a satisfactory car.
In summary, compared with the competitors, the Corolla Sharp Amplifier has almost no shortcomings and has obvious advantages in terms of safety, space and power. At the same time, in terms of model configuration, Corolla Ruifang also inherits the fine tradition of FAW Toyota, and the collocation between different configurations is more reasonable, so that consumers can choose the models they want more clearly when choosing. Inheriting the name of Corolla, we have reason to believe that in the future, Corolla Ruifang is bound to reproduce the legend of Corolla in the SUV market.
