If you want to buy a reliable, high-safety joint venture SUV, but the budget is only 150,000, there are not many models to choose from. However, Toyota's new compact SUV, the Corolla Sharp Release, which was only launched at the beginning of this year, can be considered.
What to say? The Corolla Rebbe is a compact SUV with a total of 5 models on sale and a guide price of 129,800-16.98 million yuan. Today, we will take the sub-low-end model in the car series - 2022 2.0L Elite Edition (hereinafter referred to as: Ruifang) as an example, to take you to understand this car in detail.
The sharp front face inherits the design of the overseas version of the Corolla Cross, and the large blackened front mesh has a built-in honeycomb grille, with thick trim strips around it, which looks very personal. Looking down, the heavy front enveloping outer cladding makes the sharp put a little more "stable".
Lighting part, this sharp far and near light are halogen light sources, functional support for adaptive near and far light, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustable, etc., in terms of configuration alone or less than the same price of domestic cars, but in the joint venture camp is more eye-catching.
The side of the sharp release has more similarities with the Rong fang, the concave and convex shape, the straight line, the personalized wheel eyebrow and other designs, so that the sharp fang looks quite atmospheric; in terms of size, the length, width and height of the sharp fang are 4460/1825/1620mm, and the wheelbase is 2640mm, which is not excellent at the same level.
17-inch wheels with multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, the style is also very good-looking, the original factory is equipped with four Bridgestone Dueeler tires, tire width of 215mm, flat ratio of 60%, the current market price is about 600 yuan / bar.
Sharp rear of the car with a lot of sharp lines, the entire shape of the surface is more personalized, the upper rear wiper and the lower rear surround, but also further enriched the visual effect of the rear of the car; in terms of appearance and styling, I personally think that the appearance of sharp is still quite high, can meet the aesthetic standards of many young people.
Ruifang's interior design is basically the same as Toyota's models on sale, and a large central control screen stands on the stable center console, which looks very eye-catching. But there is a saying that this design does not seem to be too accepted by netizens, especially camry's central control screen is ridiculed by netizens as a "big color TV". But then again, Toyota's workmanship is still quite meticulous, take the sharp put, the sewing joints in the car are neat, the fabric splicing is also tightly sewn, and the addition of a small number of chrome decorative parts has also improved a certain sense of grade.
The 4.2-inch LCD instrument is slightly pocket-sized, but the related vehicle function display is quite complete, the left side is the engine number meter and water temperature meter, the middle is the speedometer and the oil gauge; the 9-inch central control screen reaction speed is also quite fast, and the built-in car network also provides practical functions such as voice control, Bluetooth, navigation, music and so on.
The fabric seat may look a little off-grade, but the comfort of sitting up is not bad, and the breathability is also very good. Taking the 172cm tall experiencer as an example, after letting him sit in the front row and adjust the seat position, the experiencer has 1 punch and 2 fingers in the head space. Coming to the back row, the experiencer's head space is still 1 punch and 3 fingers, and the leg space is 1 punch and 4 fingers, and the overall performance is quite generous. But the fly in the ointment is that there is a little bulge in the center of the rear floor, which has a slight impact on the central passenger experience when fully loaded.
The sharply placed trunk space is quite regular, and the depth is not small to provide a storage capacity of 438L. If you need to load a large object, you can also put the sharp rear seats down proportionally, but there is a certain difference between the backrest of the seat and the trunk floor.
Powerly, Ruifang is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a model of M20E, the maximum power is 126kW, the maximum torque is 205N·m, and it is matched with a CVT stepless gearbox that simulates 10 gears, NEDC fuel consumption is 5.9L/100km, and the fuel economy is quite high; the chassis suspension part, the rear suspension of the Sharp Amplifier is a torsion beam type non-independent suspension, but the overall adjustment is not bad, and there is nothing to be picky about at home.
In terms of configuration, this Ruifang is equipped with 7 airbags, and has active braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance and other active/passive safety configurations, coupled with full-speed adaptive cruise system, which can bring users high safety; in addition, Ruifang also has automatic parking, electric sunroof, rear air conditioning outlet and other practical configurations, from a home point of view can meet the needs of many users.
In short, this elite version of the sharp release, although it is the second lowest in the car series, but the configuration of the whole vehicle is not low, not only equipped with Toyota's TSS zhixing safety system, but also many practical configurations. In addition, the space and power of sharp release can also meet the daily travel needs of most people, and the lower fuel consumption also makes its economy quite high. Therefore, in my opinion, this elite version of the model in the Ruifang car series is a model worth recommending.
