In the past, the dream of buying a car may be very far away, but nowadays, more and more car manufacturers have reduced the cost of car manufacturing with a common technology platform, so that the terminal price of the main model has gradually declined. Faw Toyota Corolla is a good example.
With the blessing of the TNGA architecture, the 12th generation of the Corolla family has gradually grown, and the 1.5L model launched in early 2021 has dropped its price to 109,800 yuan, and this move will also cause a new wave of wind, and more and more potential consumers have seen the hope of realizing their dreams and car life.
Based on the TNGA architecture, it is reborn from the inside out
TNGA is toyota New Global Architecture is the abbreviation of the "Toyota Global New Architecture" car concept, for TNGA, in fact, many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that it is just a modular platform, similar to Volkswagen MQB, MLB. In fact, the two are not the same concept, TNGA is higher than the platform architecture, it is a "new idea" for Toyota to face the future and build a full range of passenger cars. Based on the original intention of "creating better cars for customers", TNGA broke the traditional ideas of Toyota's research and development, design, procurement and manufacturing for many years, and was a complete innovation of Toyota's entire industrial chain. TNGA is a virtuous circle for Toyota to create better cars for customers, abandoning the previous local division of labor work methods, and carrying out the structural reform of vehicles with the strength of the whole company, involving a new car incubator in the whole industry chain such as vehicle research and development, design, production, and procurement, also known as "Fengchao". The "Fengchao" model has been comprehensively and completely improved in terms of appearance, driving interest and safety.
FAW Toyota's 12th-generation Corolla was officially built on the TNGA architecture, reborn from the inside out, allowing Corolla to undergo a subversive change from every cell.
Eye-catching cool design
At present, the twelfth generation of Corolla's exterior design is the most personalized generation, the front face shape has become young, sporty, and added some protruding lines to the bonnet, looking quite muscular, the slender headlights on both sides, the internal light group is staggered, and when lit, it is bright and energetic. Judging from the two waist lines on the side of the body, the new car adopts the design of the side lines, which lengthens the visual effect of the car to a certain extent; in addition, with the design of the 15-inch wheel hub, it makes its sporty atmosphere more intense.
In terms of interior, Corolla still takes a pragmatic and young route, using a large number of leather materials to cover and wrap in the multimedia central control and door handles, etc., with a rich feel. At the same time, the whole series is equipped with 8-12.1-inch central control large screen as standard, which has both a sense of science and technology and practicality.
TNGA enjoys kinetic energy, farther, smoother and quieter
After the full TNGA, the Corolla family has formed a rare drive form in the industry, covering natural suction, turbocharging, and hybrid power, to meet the individual needs of different consumers, so that every consumer can find the one they want.
As a popularizer and forerunner of domestic hybrid power, Corolla enjoys the Toyota Hybrid Black Technology -THS (Toyota hybrid system) exclusively in the same class of models, which can subtly control the energy distribution of the whole vehicle through the PSD power distribution device, and achieve a perfect balance between the best power performance and the minimum fuel consumption. Corolla's new THS II system (Toyota hybrid system II), 1.8L Atkinson engine matched with E-CVT gearbox fully upgraded and optimized, the minimum fuel consumption of 4.0/100km, equipped with a more stable, high-safety Nickel-Metal Hydride battery, so that customers can enjoy worry-free travel.
In addition, the dual-cycle direct injection turbo engine equipped with the 1.2T continuously outputs peak torque in the range of 1500-4000rpm, with a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 185N·m, and adds half-cylinder stop-start technology, which allows the vehicle to have a smooth start-stop feeling beyond the same level, and matches the S-CVT gearbox upgraded from 8-speed to 10-speed to achieve smooth and rapid gear change response.
The focus of this innovation is the new TNGA 1.5L powertrain in Corolla. This set of powertrain TNGA Dynamic Force Engine (TNGA jet air control engine) uses efficient combustion technology to achieve 40% of the world's top thermal efficiency and 13:1 ultra-high compression ratio, 100 km of comprehensive fuel consumption as low as 5.1L; matching direct Shift CVT gearbox, the use of gears to start more quickly. While saving energy, FAW Toyota has not given up the performance of this engine. This 1.5L naturally aspirated engine loses 25kg of weight compared to The Corolla's 1.2T NR engine, but the maximum horsepower of the 121Ps is higher than that of the 1.2T NR engine, and even the overall level of the engine has perfectly surpassed the four-cylinder 1.5L engine of the same class, the main reason is due to the careful tuning of Toyota engineers, so that the performance of this 1.5L engine is not worse than that of the traditional four-cylinder engine.
Unprecedented security
Thanks to scientific and technological progress, more and more automotive products have higher safety equipment, Corolla is no exception, rich safety configuration, not only allows car owners to achieve leapfrog ownership, but also in the same level of models in a leading position. In terms of active safety, FAW Toyota Lingfang is equipped with a new generation of Toyota Safety Sense safety as standard, which integrates PCS pre-collision safety system (including pedestrian identification in front), DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system (including full speed domain follow-up function), LTA lane tracking assistance system (including car-following function) AHB automatic adjustment high beam system in one, which can reduce the probability of accidents and make driving safer.
If abundant active safety can kill most safety hazards in the cradle, then passive safety can hold the last line of defense after an accident. In this regard, the Corolla series is equipped with 8 SRS airbags, 6 passive safety configurations, TPMS tire pressure monitoring system (with positioning), and Toyota GOA's high-rigidity body, chassis stiffeners, and engine compartment top-of-the-roof structure to achieve the highest safety performance in its class. In the "C-IASI" test of China Insurance Research Institute, Corolla received a number of G (excellent) evaluations, and the results can be comparable to more than 300,000 yuan of luxury models.
It can be said that Corolla constantly improves itself between inheritance and change, and now, under the new concept of TNGA architecture, Corolla has condensed the needs of the times, comprehensively enhanced the charm of products, and spared no effort to create happiness for more consumers!
