Corolla as Toyota's global model, its reputation can be described as resounding in all corners of the world, since the first Corolla came out, its global cumulative sales have exceeded 50 million vehicles, and it is precisely because of such an excellent record, many Chinese car owners are "admiring the name", when buying a car will not think much, go straight to the Toyota 4S store to buy Toyota Corolla, but do you really know The Corolla? Is the Chinese version of Corolla the same as the foreign Corolla? Has it been de-allocated? What are its flaws? With these questions clear, it's never too late to buy Corolla!
In fact, the Chinese version of the Corolla and the foreign version of the Corolla is significantly different, take the Corolla of the United States, in terms of styling design, the Corolla of the United States is more sporty, the car shape of the vehicle is more ostentatious, and the Chinese version of the Corolla, its exterior design is slightly low-key, perhaps the design of the appearance is related to the region, Toyota according to the consumers of different regions for directional design, but in terms of powertrain matching, the Chinese version of the Corolla is slightly inferior. The Chinese version of the Corolla matches 1.2T + CVT and 1.5L + CVT, the powertrain is only satisfied with home transportation, for the owner of the car with certain requirements for driving, the Corolla is not the best choice, but the American version of the Corolla, it matches the 2.0L + CVT powertrain, the powertrain is similar to the Chinese version of the Toyota Camry, it can be seen that the Chinese version of the Corolla and the foreign version of the Carola is significantly different.
For the Toyota Corolla, I think its biggest flaw is the "cost performance", the Corolla's cost performance is actually very low. I don't know if you have seen the interior of The Corolla, the interior of the Corolla feels as if it is piled up, the interior design is very sloppy, the material used in the interior is harder, you can feel the obvious plastic flavor after sitting in, if you do not buy a high-end model, the Corolla directly matches the cloth seat, as far as the interior is concerned, toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Langyi, Nissan Xuanyi, Hyundai Elantra and other models are far away. Pure fuel version of the Corolla, although it has two powertrains, 1.5L + CVT and 1.2T + CVT, but the 1.5L engine is a three-cylinder engine, the three-cylinder engine is very unpopular with Chinese consumers, and the 1.2T + CVT version of the Corolla, its price is relatively expensive, the Chinese version of the 1.2T + CVT Corolla, its landing price can reach about 140,000.
Many netizens said that the Toyota Corolla is more fuel-efficient, this result does not know how they came to it, but after comparing with the competing cars Langyi, Xuanyi, Elantra and other models, it can be found that the Toyota Corolla is actually not fuel-efficient. The Certified Fuel Consumption of the Corolla 1.2T+CVT model is 5.5~5.6L/100km, and its certified fuel consumption is the highest among Langyi (5.5L/100km), Xuanyi (4.9L/100km), and Elantra (5.1L/100km). In terms of actual driving fuel consumption, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Corolla is about 6.8 ~ 7.5L / 100km, which can only be said to be average. In fact, the major car companies in the car fuel consumption has no technical barriers, after mutual reference, everyone fully mastered a variety of fuel-saving technologies, "Japanese car fuel consumption is low" has become a thing of the past, The fuel consumption of Korean cars is also very low, and the fuel consumption of German cars is not high.
Let's introduce the driving experience of Toyota Corolla, as far as the Corolla car is concerned, because it matches the 1.2T + CVT powertrain, the maximum torque of the 1.2T engine is 185Nm/1500~4000rpm, the maximum power is 116Ps/5200~5600rpm, the engine parameter level is limited, so the corolla's power level is also very general, its 100 km acceleration performance is nearly 12s, the maximum speed is only 180km/h; however, Corolla matched the CVT transmission, which has a smoother driving feel and more responsiveness, which also enhances Corolla's driving experience to a certain extent. The Corolla chassis uses a front and rear suspension structure, although it is the lowest configuration, but in the same class, the Corolla chassis is still very good at the filtration of the road surface.
Overall, the Chinese version of the Corolla and the global version of the model is some differences, the Chinese version of the Corolla, it is based on the Chinese owner's car habits, on this basis of the directional research and development, but the Chinese version of the Corolla also has some defects, such as lower cost performance, lower interior, general fuel consumption level, weaker power, these problems are also unavoidable.
