With the first batch of post-00s entering the workplace, the post-90s have gradually become the backbone of society, the children who once urged their knees next to their parents have become adults, and the post-90s have also formed families, and some people have assumed the titles of mothers and fathers. For the post-90s with children, the car is an indispensable good partner, but the post-90s personality is distinct, the requirements for the vehicle after having children at home will only be higher, both the high value they like, and the strong comprehensive strength, to meet the daily travel and help themselves with their babies, is the best choice for the post-90s.
The A-class automobile market with strong comprehensive strength has become the best choice for the post-90s. As the "two number one players" in the A-class car market - the seventh generation of Elantra and Corolla are a good choice, let's start from the first perspective of a post-90s new dad to see these two cars, who is the "all-round partner" of the post-90s.
Since being promoted to a novice dad, my wife and I have put the car purchase plan on the agenda. At first, we were going to buy an MPV model, but my wife was ugly, I didn't think I had the quality of driving, and finally according to my friend's recommendation and personal preferences, I set my sights on the strength representatives in the A-class family car - the seventh generation Elantra and Corolla.
Jewel-like dazzling, good looks can hit the Elantra deeply to my heart
As a yan control wife, she has an extremely picky aesthetic for appearance, and many models I have seen before cannot enter my wife's eyes until we both see the seventh generation of Elantra. It is like the lines of the jewel edge and the front face grille, so that the whole car has a natural beauty, full of high-end feeling. The headlights on both wings are a highlight that my wife and I like very much, the handsome wedge-shaped design, when lit up, looks like a pair of bright eyes, looking very recognizable. Compared with the ordinary lines of other models, the seventh generation Elantra is a walking eye-catching artifact. Especially when the sunlight outside shines on it through the window, it is like an uncarved piece of precious jade, which attracts people's attention.
After that, the two of us went to see Corolla again, and the appearance was still very different from the seventh generation of Elantra, lacking the publicity of the young man, and the wife did not want to look at it at that time. The low-volt body creates a feeling of swooping, and there are still many emerging elements of the front face, especially the large-size grille gives people a strong sense of visual experience. The other parts are more general and do not keep up with the current design trends. Overall, the appearance is not hard, but there are no surprises, with the moderate style that Corolla has always adhered to.
Highly intelligent, Elantra thinks more about new drivers
As a father, the biggest concern is the safety of the child, especially for the newborn baby. Therefore, the assisted driving function is the focus of my and my wife's special attention, and in this regard, the seventh generation of Elantra has given me a great surprise. It is equipped with the Hyundai SmartSense intelligent-mental safety system, which has the most assisted driving functions I have ever seen, with 23 items, and the safety factor is particularly high. SVM360-degree panoramic image and RVM reversing image system can view the surrounding environment 360° without dead angles, and can successfully reverse in only one time, reducing the dizziness of children due to back and forth rotation. NSCC's navigation-based intelligent cruise control minimizes the occurrence of accidents, reduces the risk from the root cause, and helps me share the driving burden and reduce accidents due to fatigue driving.
I also went to see the Toyota Zhixing safety system mounted by Corolla, equipped with DRCC full-speed domain dynamic radar cruise control system, PCS pre-collision safety system, LTA lane tracking assistance system and other functions, although it can also play a role in improving driving safety, but the improvement is limited, and the full-speed domain adaptive cruise system is limited to simple follow-up function, can not cope with the safety protection of multiple scenarios, and there is no seventh-generation Elantra assisted driving function. In the short test drive time, the experience was not ideal, the sense of control was not smooth, and it was not as silky as the seventh generation Elantra.
Smooth handling, Elantra is more appetizing to young people
After all, every boy has had the experience of chasing the wind, and although he has a baby, he also wants to drive out for a lap or two without a baby.
The combination of the seventh-generation Elantra 240T GDi high-power engine + 7DCT transmission, push back feeling, silky operation, and engine roar are not bad. In addition, the fuel efficiency of the seventh generation Elantra is completely a bonus, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.2L per 100 kilometers, which is completely lower than my estimate.
The 1.2T engine, the Corolla with a maximum power of 116 horsepower, has a natural difference from the seventh generation Elantra in terms of parameters and actual experience. The whole process of test drive is relatively soft, the feeling of pushing back is even more dare not think, although the steering wheel and fuel efficiency are not bad, but the overall experience is still slightly inferior to the seventh generation Elantra.
Summary: After comparison, I found that the seventh generation of Elantra and Corolla are exactly two styles. The seventh generation of Elantra has the bravado of young people and the most demanding for manipulation, while Corolla is more moderate and focused on stability. In contrast, the seventh generation of Elantra is more suitable for the needs of the new post-90s dad, and the word "all-round partner" is used in the seventh generation of Elantra, which is more appropriate.
