In the 100,000-150,000 yuan family car market, FAW Toyota Corolla and GAC Toyota Leiling are very good products, and both cars have their own characteristics, but because the two cars have a "sister car" relationship, there are still many similarities in the appearance, interior design, and price system, which also makes consumers choose to become more entangled. In order to help you solve your doubts in this regard, next, we will refer to the price of the two cars and the difference in product strength to analyze the purchase of a car.
1.2T: The landing price of Leiling is 2,000 less than that of Corolla, and the configuration is higher
After seeing Corolla and Leiling for the first time, it is difficult for consumers who are not familiar with the vehicle to see the difference between the two cars, plus they have three versions of 1.5L, 1.2T, and 1.8L dual engine at the same time, which makes many friends buy a car headache. However, from the perspective of demand, everyone's car purchase preference is more on the 1.2T and 1.8L dual engine, so let's first look at the difference between the two 1.2T models.
According to our survey, Corolla's 2021 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS Edition (128,800 yuan) and Leiling 2022 185T CVT Deluxe Edition (129,800 yuan) are the two models that buy the most. In terms of configuration, most of the two vehicles are equipped with the same configuration, such as 8 airbags, driver assistance system, active safety, full-speed adaptive cruise, reversing image, sunroof, 9-inch multimedia central control screen, Internet of Vehicles and other rich configurations, it can be said that in the joint venture A-class car at the same price, the configuration belongs to the leading level.
Of course, due to different positioning, there are some differences in some configurations of the two cars, such as The Colling is equipped with LED headlights, the Corolla is equipped with a lens halogen headlight, but equipped with LED front fog lights; the Lightning has a rear exhaust air outlet, equipped with 4 speakers, and the Corolla has no rear exhaust air outlet, equipped with 6 speakers. In addition, compared with the Corolla, Raling is also equipped with a rear 4/6 down, keyless entry, the rear row has an additional USB interface, the practical configuration is more abundant, but at the same time lacks the rearview mirror heating function. In addition, the roof lining inside the Leiling car is pure black, and the Corolla is beige, giving people a different subjective feeling.
Overall, in the case of being slightly more expensive than the Corolla 1.2T model, the overall configuration of Ralink is much higher, including LED headlights, rear 4/6 down, etc., are very practical, and the cost performance is more prominent.
In terms of actual terminal prices, according to our survey of Toyota 4S stores in Beijing, we learned that the full discount of the 1.2T model of Leiling is 21,000 yuan, and the Corolla 1.2T discount is 18,000 yuan, so the 185T CVT deluxe version (129,800 yuan) of the 2022 Model of TheRonalla 1.2T model is actually 2,000 yuan cheaper than the 2021 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS Version (128,800 yuan). To put it simply, the actual landing price of Leiling is also about 2,000 yuan cheaper than corolla.
In terms of installments, the Ralink 1.2T discount is 1,000 yuan more than the full model, reaching 22,000 yuan; the Corolla 1.2T model installment discount is the same as the full amount, which is 18,000 yuan. In addition, both vehicles have an interest-free instalment policy, but the down payment ratio is different, for details, see the table below:
In terms of vehicle source, at present, The current Hot Sale Car of Leiling and Corolla 1.2T is relatively sufficient, and even other non-hot sales models do not have waiting time, which is much better than the previous shortage of existing cars.
Hybrid version: There is a difference of 5,000 yuan, but it has little impact on the staging
Continue to look at the differences between the two 1.8L dual engine models. According to our survey, the Corolla 2021 Twin Engine 1.8L E-CVT Elite Edition (143,800 yuan) and the Ralink 2022 Twin Engine 1.8H E-CVT Deluxe Edition (142,800 yuan) are two models that are best-selling models, and in terms of guidance prices, the difference between the two cars is only 1,000 yuan.
In terms of configuration, the difference between the fuel version of the two vehicles is basically the same, and the driver assistance system, safety configuration and some practical configurations are complete. The rear 4/6 ratio is down, LED headlights two configurations, is the exclusive of TheRa Hybrid; the Corolla Hybrid is an additional rear USB interface, 2 speakers, LED front fog lights, rearview mirror heating these configurations.
Similarly, according to our survey of Toyota 4S stores in Beijing, we learned that the full discount of the Leiling hybrid model is 24,000 yuan, and the Corolla hybrid is 20,000 yuan, so the actual Leiling hybrid is 5,000 yuan cheaper than the Corolla hybrid, so it can also be calculated that the actual naked car price of the two cars is also about 5,000 yuan.
In terms of installments, both cars can also be additionally discounted by 1,000 yuan, and there is also an interest-free policy for installments, of course, so that the two cars still maintain a difference of 5,000 yuan, and the same as the full purchase of the car, the details can be seen in the following table:
Compared with the fuel version, the current car of the Corolla and Leiling hybrid version of the model is not sufficient, especially the Corolla hybrid version, there are only a few existing cars in the store, if you need to book, it is more troublesome, the booking cycle may take more than 1 month, and the user needs to understand clearly before buying a car.
Finally, let's take a look at the maintenance of the two cars and the information of the used car
Corolla 1.2T maintenance cycle is 10000km or 6 months, small maintenance price is 527 yuan, three years driving 60000km maintenance price is more than 3400 yuan; 1.8L dual engine maintenance cycle is 10000km or 6 months, small maintenance price is 527 yuan, three years driving 60000km maintenance price is 3400 yuan, and the fuel version is not much different.
Leiling 1.2T maintenance cycle is 10000km or 6 months, small maintenance price of 385 yuan, three-year driving 60000km maintenance price of more than 3300 yuan; 1.8L dual engine maintenance cycle of 10000km or 6 months, small maintenance price of 385 yuan, three-year driving 60000km maintenance price of 30000 yuan.
This 2019 Model Corolla is not very old, driving 43,000 kilometers, combined with the price of the current model, the discount rate is not high, and the retention rate is excellent in the same level.
This 2019 Model Of Leiling, the age of the car is also not long, driving 40,000 kilometers, the retention rate is also quite good, but compared with the Corolla or to sell a few thousand yuan less, the main reason is still the second-hand car market, Corolla's retention rate is more stable.
summary:
It can be seen that the overall configuration of Leiling at the same price is higher and more practical than that of Corolla, and the landing price of Raling is also more provincial than Corolla, plus Ralink's existing car is also more sufficient, so from the perspective of cost performance, Ralink seems to be more valuable. However, if you add more dimensions, such as retention rate, model popularity, etc., Corolla still has its own advantages, more importantly, in the second-hand car market, Corolla is synonymous with value preservation, durability and stability, which is undoubtedly better than Leiling. So in summary, if you don't have a fondness for Corolla at this stage, then it is more cost-effective to buy Ralink.
