For 100,000-class compact family cars, the most controversial is Toyota Corolla and Nissan Xuanyi, after all, Corolla is the world's famous car, its sales are absolutely classic, since the launch of the first Corolla, it has sold more than 50 million vehicles in the world, Corolla is the world's largest model, in terms of global status, Corolla can be said to be "ten streets away from Xuanyi", but Corolla's sales in China can not catch up with Nissan Xuanyi, after all, Xuanyi is the top of the compact sedan sales list, With sales of 50,000 units in January 2022, is there anything special about the Chinese version of Nissan Xuanyi? With this expectation, I went into the 4S store and test drove these two cars separately!
Nissan Xuanyi analysis
Walk into the Nissan 4S store, the first glance to see Xuanyi, because Nissan put Xuanyi in the most conspicuous position, to be honest, Xuanyi's appearance is indeed dazzling, sports and fashionable appearance, angular body shape, grille and natural sound is the same, the overall streamlined type is very prominent, with excellent appearance, Xuanyi has a good grasp of the car buying psychology of the chinese people now.
The interior of Xuanyi vehicle is at the middle and upper level in the same level of models, although the interior material is not up to the level of tall, but the touch is more comfortable, the vehicle interior shape is decent, there is no very appreciative place, as far as the overall level of the vehicle interior is concerned, I think Xuanyi is worse than the modern Elantra.
Xuanyi matched the 1.6L + CVT powertrain, its overall responsiveness is OK, the accelerator pedal is always on, the engine power output is stable, but its acceleration ability is limited, and the power level of the vehicle is in a general state when driving at high speed. The chassis of Xuanyi vehicle is relatively light, there will be a feeling of floating uncertainty when driving at high speed, the turning grip needs to be improved, the steering wheel steering is larger, the steering force is lighter, for such a driving feeling, my first impression is "decommissioning"!
Toyota Corolla's performance
Corolla this car I am very familiar with, in order to attract the attention of consumers, Toyota has made some changes to the 2021 Corolla, such as the addition of a 1.5L three-cylinder engine + CVT powertrain, the appearance of the vehicle is more calm, stretched, the vehicle interior design layering is more distinct, the shape is more in line with the Aesthetics of the Chinese, but the Corolla interior material is still its soft ribs, the vehicle interior workmanship is very rough, and the ride comfort needs to be improved, but the owner who bought the Corolla does not care about its interior, Because they value the Corolla's driving texture, durability and stability.
For the Corolla with a 1.5L three-cylinder engine, I will not introduce it too much because I do not recommend that you buy it. Corolla 1.2T + CVT powertrain, Toyota has been launched for many years, this powertrain has also been verified by the market, has been recognized by consumers, which is also its premise based in China. As far as the extreme acceleration ability of the vehicle is concerned, the level of the 1.2T version of the Corolla is also in a general state, but its mid-course explosive power and normal acceleration performance, I feel that it is still better than Xuanyi, I inquired about the results of the professional platform test, the Corolla 40-80km/h acceleration score is 4.89s, and the Japanese Xuanyi score is 5.6s.
In fact, for ordinary car owners, the most concerned performance is the driving texture, such as the vehicle's steering system, chassis system, etc. In terms of these two aspects of performance, I think Corolla is complete. Corolla's steering force is heavier, the steering wheel gives the owner a good sense of feedback, which also makes the owner very fond of driving the Corolla, and the Corolla chassis uses a front and rear monolithic structure, the chassis has a very good filter on the road surface, which also increases the vehicle's riding comfort, and toyota Corolla's chassis is very stable, and the owner will not have a "fluttering" "tail" and other out-of-control or unsafe driving feelings.
However, in terms of the price of the vehicle, the Corolla is indeed very expensive, the Corolla with the version of 1.2T + CVT, the landing price is 140,000, and Xuanyi is cheaper, it has two models of high and low power, which also increases the range of choices of the owner, you can spend 140,000 to buy a little more expensive Xuanyi, you can also spend 120,000 to buy a little cheaper Xuanyi, this is the essence of Xuanyi's best-selling bar.
Overall, Corolla's driving texture is better than Xuanyi's, and Xuanyi's static sensory experience is better than Corolla's, but if I buy it, Xuanyi will definitely be excluded.
