As the saying goes: behind every successful man is inseparable from a woman, this sentence is also applicable in the automotive field, after all, every well-known car company is inseparable from the high-performance department. Examples include BMW's M-power, Mercedes-Benz's AMG and Audi's S and RS series.
The three major Japanese brands also have their own high-performance models, Nissan's NISMO, Honda's MUGEN, and today's "protagonist" Toyota GR.
Most of the previous Chinese people's cognition of Toyota was reliable, durable, and not broken, and the "Toyota that cannot be broken" is also derived from this. However, in the past two years, as "Generation Z" users have gradually become a new consumer group, these deeply rooted labels are obviously no longer applicable. Therefore, in the past two years, Toyota has gradually begun to make efforts in the field of sports.
With the power of Toyota, Corolla, known as the "strongest grocery car", has finally ushered in its own high-performance version of GR - Corolla, and some friends may say when they see here: Isn't this car released earlier? Here's a point first, the release is a sedan version, Toyota recently launched a hatchback version.
According to the currently known information, the GR-Corolla hatchback version of the model is more inclined to the design language of Raling. The "blade-type" headlight sets on both sides of the front face and the large size of the blackened net present a more intuitive sense of sport than the sedan version.
Compared with the more "bulky" side lines of the sedan version, the hatchback version is obviously more flexible, and the body posture shows a swooping shape of low front and back high. In addition, the newly designed wheel shape also saves consumers the trouble of late modification.
With the 18-inch tires on it, it looks fuller on the sides, and the side skirt below also outlines the sporty feeling of the new car.
The sharp lines at the rear are designed to coincide with the inverted "7" shaped brake lights on the front of the car, and the large-sized encirclement below is blackened to make it look more aggressive.
The overall layout of the interior still follows the classic layout of Corolla, and the suspended central control screen is matched with the design of the full LCD dashboard, creating a sense of technology in the interior. Plug in here, the full LCD instrument has not become the standard, only in the high-end model will be equipped.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the new car is equipped with such as automatic parking, reversing imagery, body stabilization system, adaptive endurance and lane keeping/deviation warning, although these configurations are not enough in the current market environment, but it is also a top-notch presence in the field of performance cars.
According to foreign media reports, the GR- Corolla hatchback version will be equipped with a power system composed of a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine + motor, and the matching transmission system is the E-CVT transmission, which is the Toyota dual-engine hybrid that we are familiar with. Although this power system is not as pure as naturally aspirated, it is very likely that this power system will be introduced into The Country.
There is no news about the specific parameters of the engine, but it is certain that the power system of the new car will inevitably be stronger than that of the sedan version. After all, compared to the sedan version, the hatchback version focuses on sports.
It is not difficult to see from toyota's launch of the hatchback version of GR - Corolla, Toyota has targeted the golf GTI and Fox ST potential user groups this time.
After all, compared to these two, the hatchback version of grotto- Corolla is more acceptable, after all, as Corolla's first high-performance hatchback, its pricing is bound to be higher than the Golf GTI and Fox ST.
At that time, the users who are excited about the car will have a great possibility of turning around and throwing themselves into the arms of Toyota. Of course, all this is based on the introduction of domestic.
