For family cars, it is just right and is the purchase criterion for most consumers, so the entry compact SUV has become the best choice. It not only has the ability to drive lightly unpaved roads, but also has a full load of space that is not crowded, a more mainstream configuration, a good power performance, and most importantly, a people-friendly price, if you can also take into account excellent durability, it is naturally the best.
So in this comparison, we found two sister models that meet the standards - GAC Toyota Fenglanda and FAW Toyota Corolla Ruifang, as well as German competitor FAW-Volkswagen T-ROC Tange and Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai, who is also from Japan and has good sales, to see who is more worth recommending after careful calculation.
First, the appearance of the review
In terms of appearance, the three Japanese models are similar in design, and all adopt a fuller style. Although the Feng landa and the Corolla Sharp fang are sister models to each other, the front face style of the two is very different, the former is the Japanese version of the shape, and the latter's American version of the design is quite similar to the new Highlander, which is also mainly for the US market. Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai is at the end of its life cycle, a new generation of models have been listed overseas, localization is also in preparation, so the current Qashqai looks more or less old-fashioned. The only Ashkenazi "player" has a consistent "cold" model, with straight crease lines and a simple and regular design, which is very distinctive.
In terms of size, the four models performed similarly, although the Tange had the longest wheelbase, but the body length was the shortest. The Fenglanda, on the other hand, has the longest body length, but the wheelbase is the shortest of the four models, which is consistent with the Corolla Sharpener. Fortunately, the difference between the body size and wheelbase of the four models is not large, and the impact on daily use is almost negligible.
In terms of external configuration, although The FrontLanda and Corolla Reifang are sister models to each other, and the price of the top model is also completely the same, it is different in terms of configuration. For example, the matrix LED headlights on the Frontland and the delayed off of the headlights are not available in the Corolla Sharp. Despite this, the Corolla Replay is much richer than the same price of the Song configuration, but the Song of the Quest dominates the steering auxiliary lights. In addition, Qashqa is equipped with remote start, active closed air intake grille and speed-sensing wipers, which are also not available in the remaining three models.
Appearance Summary:
In terms of appearance, GAC Toyota Fenglanda and FAW Toyota Corolla Sharp Fang have similar silhouettes, side and rear designs, but the front shape of the two is completely different, and also represents two styles. The Corolla Sharpen, derived from the American version, is undoubtedly more rugged, while the Fenglanda, which uses the Japanese version design, is more than refined. But to say exquisite, FAW-Volkswagen T-ROC exploration song is not to mention more, sharp lines and exquisite details processing, making it show a sense of rationality. In addition, although Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai was also a "handsome little student" at the beginning of its existence, after years of polishing, it now looks like it does have a little more sense of age, but fortunately, the new generation of models has been listed overseas, and the localization process has also been launched, I believe that the new car will not take long to meet with consumers.
Second, the interior review
In terms of interior design, Fenglanda and Corolla Relum adopt a completely consistent layered layout style, a large number of leather wrapping and the use of soft materials, highlighting the good texture, coupled with through-type chrome trim and stitch decoration to embellish, further broadening the visual effect. Although the other two models are also equipped with a 9-inch (9.2-inch) multimedia touch screen, but it is a conventional embedded design, the multimedia touch screen of the song and the high-gloss black trim of the center console are actually good, and the Qashqai is slightly moderate and old-fashioned.
In the multimedia part, the functions of the four models are basically similar, and Tange exclusively accounts for Apple's CarPlay and Baidu CarLife mobile phone mapping interconnection, which is also a function that Japanese cars usually ignore. However, in terms of OTA online upgrades, Tange's performance was somewhat disappointing, and it was the only model among the four models that did not support the feature. However, Tange also has more USB interfaces and Beats sound systems available for installation, it can be said that in terms of multimedia system functionality, Tange is slightly better than the other three Japanese cars.
In the interior configuration link, the performance of the song is still more eye-catching, not only the front seats can be adjusted at various angles, but also the leather wrapping is adopted, and the riding comfort is guaranteed. At the same time, in terms of practical configuration, such as wireless charging of front mobile phones, in-car makeup mirror lighting and other functions are also equipped, very intimate. However, There are still differences in configuration between Fenglanda and Corolla, such as adjustable seat backrests in the second row, automatic anti-glare interior mirrors and automatic air conditioning that supports temperature zone control, all of which are exclusive to Fenglanda. In addition, although the configuration performance of the Qashqai is not as good as the other three models, the exclusive built-in driving recorder function is still very practical.
Interior Summary:
In addition to the Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai, the interior design style of the other three models is more mainstream. In terms of configuration, FAW-Volkswagen T-ROC takes the lead in exploring songs, rich multimedia functions and a large number of practical configurations, which are eye-catching. However, GAC Toyota Fenglanda and FAW Toyota Corolla Ruifang are not to be outdone, and it is completely out of the question to meet daily use. In contrast, the Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai is somewhat inferior, but several exclusive configurations can indeed make people shine.
Third, performance review
In terms of power, in addition to Tange, the other three models are equipped with 2.0L engines. In terms of parameters, the Power Performance of Fenglanda and Corolla Rebet is the best, but because Tange is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, it has a natural advantage in torque, and its peak torque of 250N·m is significantly ahead of the other three models.
Power Summary:
In the power system part, the three Japanese models still use the combination of the traditional 2.0L naturally aspirated engine + CVT stepless transmission, which has the advantage of durable leather and smooth engine output characteristics, which is easy to grasp. As the only German model, FAW-Volkswagen T-ROC Tange is equipped with a signature 1.4TSI turbo engine + 7-speed DSG dry-type dual-clutch transmission, the power explosion is more passionate, and the shift speed also has excellent performance, which is very suitable for consumers who are more concerned about the acceleration feeling.
4. Spatial overview
In the interior space part, the wheelbase of the four models is not much different, so the performance of the rear seat space is also more similar, although it cannot be described as spacious, but the rear seat is full of three passengers and has no problem, and it will not be too crowded.
In terms of storage space, the number of storage slots and volume performance of the four models are similar, with two cup holders in the front row, but there is no limit device inside. In the rear storage space, Fenglanda and Corolla Sharp do not provide door panel storage slots, but the handle adopts a back-cover design, which can be used as a storage slot, and the front is also equipped with a cup holder slot, which ensures practicality. In addition, with the exception of the FrontLander, all three models offer the rear center armrest for greater comfort and storage.
Spatial Summary:
The four compact SUVs are similar in terms of seating space and storage space, and can meet the needs of ordinary families. However, GAC Toyota Fenglanda and FAW Toyota Corolla Sharp Fang are not equipped with traditional rear door panel storage slots, and the rear storage capacity is average.
V. Overview of security configuration
Security Summary:
In the safety configuration part, the passive safety front Lanta and The Corolla Sharp Release performed the best, compared to the other two models, both of which add rear side airbags and knee airbags, which are more comprehensively protected. At the same time, Corolla Respin also provides a full-vehicle radar system, giving consumers more peace of mind when parking or passing through narrow sections of road. Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai has exclusive parallel assist and a derivative reversing side warning system that can warn drivers through the indicator lights on the A-pillars on the left and right sides. The FAW-Volkswagen T-ROC Tange is decent in terms of safety configuration, and there are fewer highlights.
summary
Through this comparison, I think you have a general understanding of the four joint venture brand compact SUVs selected this time. In fact, the four models have a good foundation, but after all, it is the main cost-effective family car, there will be some trade-offs in the configuration, then under the careful calculation, it is not difficult to find that GAC Toyota Fenglanda stands out, and faw Toyota Corolla Ruifang, which is a sister model to each other, is slightly less practical because of the difference in configuration. Of course, if you like the appearance of the Corolla Sharp, then there is no need to worry at all, after all, the configuration gap between the two is very small. Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai's performance is decent, but the slightly age-inspired design has dragged its feet, but the new model is already on the way, and consumers who really like Qashqai may wish to wait a little longer. The FAW-Volkswagen T-ROC Tange is because of the identity of the German car, so whether it is configuration or design, the overall direction is different from the other three Japanese cars, especially the powerful output torque can bring a very intuitive and refreshing acceleration experience, which can please the user group who like to drive.
