Spending 150,000 yuan to buy a car, I believe this is a car purchase budget that is currently mainstream. In this price range, there are too many models to choose from, and domestic cars are very competitive in this price range, whether it is a car or an SUV, compared with the joint venture car at the same price, the configuration list will definitely amaze you. I don't know if you found it, in the past 150,000 this price point wanted to buy a joint venture compact SUV is very difficult, basically no choice. Nowadays, many joint venture brands seem to have discovered this and have launched compact SUV models at this price point, so there is today I want to talk to you about this car - Toyota Corolla Sharp.
Derived from the appearance of the Corolla CROSS
Since the name carries the three words of Corolla, then compared to everyone, we know that the relationship between this car and Corolla is after all a product of the same platform. Because domestic consumers seem to be very cold to the station wagon, CROSS model, etc., so Toyota directly launched the Corolla Replay SUV model, and its appearance is copied from the design of the overseas version of the Corolla CROSS model, I can't help but sigh, this wave of operation 666.
The front face is still the familiar Toyota family design, the upper and lower layered grilles are divided by a trim plate that runs through the front face, and there are two fog lights hidden below, but the low-end two cars are not equipped. All-LED headlights are not a new thing in this era, but the low-end two models are still halogen headlights. The Toyota logo on a black background in the center of the front face also implies that this car has no hybrid.
The design of the body side is very simple, after all, it is a family SUV model. Both sides of the front and rear wheels have a wide body effect, and the wheel eyebrows and side skirts are wrapped in unpainted pieces, highlighting a certain amount of wild game.
The shape of the rear of the car is relatively simple, and the shark fins and spoilers at the tail of the roof can still set off a sporty atmosphere. Although the popular through-the-wall taillight design is not adopted, the overall feeling is still generous and decent. Hidden exhaust is also a common design for home models, and a high-gloss black trim plate above the lower enclosure is definitely a plus.
It is still the interior of toyota at home
Compared with the exterior, the design of the interior is not much fresh at all, and I believe that few people are not familiar with this interior.
The very traditional T-shaped layout centers the console, and in front of the driver is Toyota's family steering wheel, which is not wrapped in leather except for the two models.
The dashboard still uses a combination of mechanical and LCD meters, but except for the 7-inch LCD meter used in the top, the size of the rest of the models is only 4.2 inches. Central control suspension large screen is also the current mainstream configuration, although the lowest model uses 8-inch central control large screen, but support mobile phone interconnection / mapping, and the rest of the models although the size of the central control large screen has been upgraded to 9 inches but can only use the system and navigation that comes with the car machine, which is a bit difficult to understand.
In addition to the top model, all manual air conditioners are available, but the texture of the buttons is good, and there are also high-gloss black trim panels, and the overall visual effect is very good. The center console uses a large area of soft material wrapping and sewing process, which looks like a certain sense of grade. The shape of the gear is very traditional, and there is a storage slot in the front with a nice interior. Behind the gears are two open cup holders, and the central armrest is located relatively backwards, making it a little difficult to run a long distance and put your hands on.
The back row without too many surprises
Except for the two high-end models, the seats are made of fabric seats, but the overall padding still maintains the usual softness and comfort of the Japanese system. The standard compact SUV figure with a wheelbase of 2640mm gives the rear a decent legroom.
There is a certain bulge in the center of the platform, and the rear row is equipped with independent air conditioning outlet and power connector. The top model is equipped with a panoramic sunroof and an electric rear tailgate. The center of the rear seat does not provide a central armrest and cup holder, and the designer is very clever to reserve a cup holder for the rear row on the door panels on both sides, but if you sit for three people, how to divide the cup holder?
The space of the trunk is at the same level as the standard level, the interior is very regular, and the rear seats also support 4/6 ratio to be put down, but after the fall and the trunk have a large bulge, so it is not very practical.
Buddhist power is durable
The Corolla Rebahn is equipped with a CVT gearbox mated to a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum engine power of 171 hp and a peak torque of 205 Nm. This engine is also a veteran of the battlefield, and its reliability and durability have been tested by the market. The comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 6L, and the city is really suitable for daily household transportation. Although considering the model positioning, I believe that many people like me hope that this car can also be equipped with a 2.0L dual-engine hybrid, and hope to add it when the model is remodeled in the future.
Two more final words
Looking at the domestic 150,000-level market, in the field of SUV models, it is basically dominated by domestic brands. After all, the joint venture brands of that year were all looking high, so the attention to the 150,000 level was low. However, with the rapid development of the domestic automobile industry, domestic cars are booming, and the user volume at this price point is very large, so many joint venture brands have begun to launch entry-level models to fill their domestic model distribution map, Toyota has begun to act, and other joint venture brands I believe will soon keep up.
