This Corolla is not a "road mother", 300 intelligent four-wheel drive! Dressing up as a pig and eating a tiger is stress-free
Japanese car brands have a high sales share in the Chinese market, which has been determined by word of mouth for a long time, but objectively speaking, the main models of Japanese brands do not have an advantage in performance, and models at the same price will often perform much worse than domestic cars. The reason for this phenomenon is also related to the concept of Japanese brands, the essence is that it is enough, such as Toyota's engines, and even have the phenomenon of deliberately reducing the ultimate power, which can greatly improve reliability and fuel economy. Of course, Nissan and Honda's many cars have a similar situation, so the younger generation of consumers who are now pursuing more radicals feel that Japanese cars are too boring, and even summarize the so-called three mother models on the road, including the extremely classic Corolla.
Judging from sales, the Toyota Corolla is simply a god car, even if the cumulative sales have declined last year, but this model still reached more than 310,000 exaggerated sales figures throughout the year. Compared to the global market, the Corolla is also one of the best-selling models. But it is undeniable that the corolla power is indeed not strong, the most beginner 1.2T version in China is only 116 horsepower, even if it is upgraded to the 1.5L version, it is only 121 horsepower.
However, toyota motors recently unveiled a new model overseas, this car is named GR Corolla, don't look at just two English letter prefixes, in fact, it is not a species at all with the ordinary version of the Corolla. First look at the appearance of the styling style, because from the Toyota GR Sports Division, the appearance of a large number of decorative kits is very cool, from the beginning to the end can feel a more passionate feeling, especially the tail using a large diffuser and three exhaust pipe outlets, the side is to provide the original Michelin sports tires and forged lightweight wheels.
If the interior is compared with the domestic high-end performance car of Lynk & Co 03+, GR Corolla obviously has a gap, it is still a black interior style, and the material is not as exquisite as Lynk & Co's high-end car, but at least it provides a more high-end flipped fur seat, as well as an LCD dashboard and a floating navigation screen.
It seems that this GR Corolla is equipped with a small displacement 1.6T engine, with reference to the current mainstream 1.6T performance parameters, it can burst out more than 190 horsepower is a good level, but Toyota's three-cylinder version of the 1.6T engine has great potential, after a new tuning, it actually broke out 300 horsepower, even far beyond the Lynk & Co 03 high-performance Volvo T5 version of the engine.
High-horsepower high-torque engine is only a prerequisite, this special Corolla is provided with a manual version of the transmission, and with toyota GR-4 intelligent all-wheel drive system, this system comes from the toyota WRC rally car reserve technology, is destined to pay attention to the ultimate control of the product.
Of course, this car can be legally on the road, not a niche racing car, so if you drive such a Corolla on the street, it is simply a typical pig eating a tiger, easily overtaking some classic small steel cannons without pressure.
The question is, how much do you think GR Corolla is worth? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with fans! Spend a second to pay attention and make good friends for a lifetime!
