Driving control feelings are often regarded as "metaphysics" in the car circle. This is because in the car selection and purchase process, the factors affecting the driving control experience are numerous and fragmented, far less simple and direct than the appearance and configuration. It is also because of the wide range of involvement, so the creation of driving control feelings is a great test of the car company's car-making skills.
Today, we found two representative 150,000-class compact joint venture SUVs. One is the veteran powerhouse "Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai", which has been beaten for 14 years in the Chinese market, and the other is the "FAW Toyota Corolla Sharp Fang" that stands on the shoulders of giants and has the blessing of the pin crown. Purely from the driving experience, control experience, based on different design ideas, chassis tuning, who is superior? Let's take a look.
Motivation Competition: Qashqai is more of a passionate experience
Qashqai, Corolla Sharp, are based on the family car as the basic positioning, to comfort and worry as the first priority, which also makes the two for the absolute value of power does not overly pursue, the overall adjustment of the engine to stabilize and comfort-
From the parameter point of view, Qashqa this 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, model MR20, the maximum power of 111kW, peak torque of 194N·m. At first glance, it is not outstanding, belonging to the decent category, but fortunately, the "threshold" of the peak power of the Qashqai is low, which ensures the acceleration performance of the starting, middle and rear segments. Its peak torque can be reached at 4400 rpm and maximum power can be maintained at 6000 rpm. From the perspective of the urban use environment, it is quite enough, even if it is high-speed overtaking, it will not be "meat".

It is worth mentioning that as Nissan's new generation of in-cylinder direct injection engine, mr20 has many new technologies and new processes. For example, the e-VTC variable valve timing system can electrically adjust the opening and closing time of the intake valve according to the change of engine speed, and improve power and fuel economy. 11.7 High compression ratio design, can complete the gasoline combustion action in a relatively short period of time, release a larger burst of energy, bring stronger power output.

The Corolla Rebahn also uses a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 126 kW and a peak torque of 205 N·m, which is close to that of the Qashqai. However, the maximum power speed (6600 rpm) and peak torque speed (4600-5000 rpm) are not as good as the Qashqai, and the power reserve has a slightly worse mobilization capacity. In addition, the engine uses hybrid injection instead of direct injection, which can help reduce carbon deposits to a certain extent and save fuel, but it is not obviously helpful for driving control, and the power feeling is not as crisp and energetic as the Qashqai with direct injection.
Chassis suspension: Corolla sharp release plate suspension is a hard injury
To play well, in addition to having a strong heart (engine), you must also have a strong skeleton and body (chassis). For SUVs, excellent chassis quality is even more important. In the case of the chassis being raised, it is also necessary to strengthen the handling stability when cornering and steering, in order to give full play to the comfort and texture of the urban SUV.
QashQAI's English name QASHQAI, meaning "urban nomad", is an SUV independently developed by Nissan European Design Center and Nissan European Technology Center, with pure European ancestry in chassis tuning, with European driving quality.
Specifically, Qashqai has a maximum ground clearance of 183mm in the same class, which reduces the chance of chassis scratching and improves the vehicle passability when passing through rough road conditions or urban road conditions such as road teeth. At the same time, the front and rear suspensions of the Qashqai are independent suspensions, on the one hand, to cope with lane changes or high-speed cornering, it can have better support and lateral rigidity, stability and controllability; on the other hand, when suddenly encountering bumpy roads, it can effectively inhibit the shaking of the body and bring a more comfortable riding experience. The use of a full-frame subframe and a half-shaft structure with isometric drive further strengthens the driving stability of the vehicle.

It is not difficult to see that Qashqai's chassis design ideas take professional-grade urban SUVs as the standard, and they are sincere enough in terms of cost materials. Reflected in the experience, the driving experience of the Qashqai is completely different from the loose and soft like the older generation of Japanese cars in our impression, but more European compactness and driving sense of luxury.

In contrast, Corolla Rebbe is somewhat overwhelmed. Although it has the advantage of low center of gravity body brought about by the TNGA architecture, due to its non-independent suspension of the rear torque beam, the mechanical structure determines the filtering ability and cornering experience. Of course, the Corolla Relex also makes up for it by adjusting the suspension geometry and adding a durable large-size rubber bushing, but there is still an "intergenerational gap" compared to the Qashqai's multi-link rear suspension.
In fact, in the price range of 150,000, except for a few niche brands such as Mazda and Citroën, which are known for their tuning skills, the rest are basically popularized after independent suspension. Even the car Ofrolla of the same name, and her sister Car Leiling, have adopted a multi-link independent suspension scheme, but this sharp release does not, which is somewhat regrettable.

Intelligent driving control: Qashqai "rank" is higher
In the era of intelligence, autonomous driving assist technology has become an indispensable part of driving control. High-level smart cars can inadvertently correct driving habits and bring a more convenient and safer driving experience.
Since the mid-2019 restructuring, Qashqai has established smart technology as the main direction of attack. The new L2 level automatic driving assistance system ProPILOT super intelligent driving, ICC intelligent adaptive cruise, Auto Hold automatic parking, ILI lane intelligent correction four major functions, covering cruise and car following, steering, straight, start and stop and many other car use scenarios. At present, ProPILOT super intelligent driving has been inspected by more than 450,000 car owners around the world, and has undergone 320,000 kilometers of rigorous road testing, with mature technology, stable and reliable.
Not only that, based on the needs of special scenes, Qashqai has also made targeted supplements in addition to the four major functions. For example, EAPM throttle mispression intelligent correction, when driving or reversing at a speed of less than 15KM/H, once the system detects that there is a possibility of collision between the front and rear, and the driver does not react or mistakenly presses the accelerator pedal, it will issue a warning and beep warning through the 3D head-up information display system, and automatically brake if necessary. BSW lane change blind zone early warning, when driving at a speed of more than 32KM/H, real-time monitoring of the rear blind area, if other vehicles are found to approach, that is, through the A-pillar signal light, 3D head-up information display system and beep sound for triple warning.

As a new model that was just launched at the beginning of this year, corolla replay also incorporates many intelligent elements in driving assistance. It is equipped with a new generation of Toyota Safety Sense, which is composed of 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 and AHB automatic adjustment high beam system. It mainly contains basic functions such as active braking, adaptive cruise, and lane keeping. The advantage is that the standard of the whole series, the "cai version" and the top match are equal. The disadvantage is that the function is more basic and the technical route is conservative. Scenes such as rear-end rear-end collisions and throttle mis-pedaling are difficult to take into account, and the development of new features needs to be improved and followed up compared to Qashqai.

summary
Comprehensive evaluation of Qashqa and Corolla Ruifang, the two cars have remarkable points in terms of power, chassis and intelligent driving, and belong to the strong players in the 150,000-level SUV market. However, in the specific performance of performance, Qashqai has better played the characteristics of the SUV's high pass rate, while also taking into account the "strength" and "stability", and the comprehensive quality is higher. And Corolla Ruifang, just like its naming idea, inherits the reliable genes of Corolla, focusing on pragmatic attributes such as space and fuel consumption, supplemented by driving pleasure, and lacking rich functions that lead the class. Therefore, for consumers who have deeper needs for manipulation, Qashqai is undoubtedly more worthy of choice.
