Bitauto Original Toyota is bound to understand the market segments. In Asia Lion and After Corolla played with compact cars, FAW Toyota has focused its attention on the compact SUV market. The original RAV4 Rongfang has long occupied a place in the top three compact SUV sales lists, but I feel that the RAV4 Rongfang is a bit expensive, and the Yize IZOA is too small for consumers to choose, so this time the FAW Toyota Corolla Rui It will be officially launched soon.
First of all, it is a big new car after all. Let’s briefly sort out the product points of the Corolla Sharp. Everyone knows that the Corolla Cross overseas is a Corolla Cross based on Toyota's TNGA-C platform. From the name, you know it is a crossover model, but to be honest, this car is definitely a pure SUV. In terms of appearance, the air intake grille on the front face adopts a trapezoidal design similar to that of the RAV4, and the overall look is also very sharp.
The headlight groups on both sides still look sharp. The overall shape is connected to the front grille, and adopts an integrated design of high and low beams, which makes The interior of the lamp unit is more refined and simple. Although the shape is still good, the light source is not so beautiful. Depending on the configuration, the models are divided into ancestral halogen bulbs and LEDs. I have to say, this is 2022, how can it still be used? There will be such a setting. In addition, many black guards are installed on the front face, which also neutralizes the taste of many urban SUVs in the entire car.
The length, width and height of the Corolla are 4460/1825/1620mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2640mm. Although the data is smaller than that of RAV4, the overall gap is not big. In terms of styling, the overall streamlines also create a swooping feeling. The black lower surround and black wheel eyebrows indeed inject some wild atmosphere into the side.
In the tail shape, the overall visual center is relatively high, and the shape of the taillights also echoes the headlights. The spoiler on the upper part of the rear of the car is relatively large, but the entire rear shape does not have an exhaust setting. Although the overall shape is better, it always feels like something is missing.
The interior design is nothing new. The entire design is very much like a Toyota Corolla, with the ancestral steering wheel and ancestral gear lever. But one thing to say is that in the overall design of the central control, the visual width is relatively poor, which is quite different from the RAV4 Rongfang, which is also a compact SUV.
It doesn’t look good but it doesn’t look good. The 9.1-inch floating central control screen has relatively good functions. Complete, including 4G network, navigation, and voice recognition.Yes, but the only drawback is that only the lowest model has Carplay and Carlife.
Going to the back row, the independent air-conditioning outlets and two Type-C charging ports ensure the most basic riding comfort. Safety and convenience, and the seating space is also in line with what this class should have.
In the power part, the entire Toyota Corolla series uses one powertrain, which is a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with a simulated 10-speed CVT gearbox. The maximum power is 126kW, the peak torque is 205N·m, and the official NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.7L/100km.
In terms of suspension, the front suspension uses McPherson struts It is inferior to independent suspension, but this is Toyota after all, and cost control is naturally very skilled, so the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. But it’s really uncomfortable to think that Yize IZOA has an E-type multi-link suspension.
Having said so much, let’s take a look at which configuration of all Corolla Ruifang models is the most worthy of your choice. As I told you at the beginning, all There are only three configuration versions of this model. Let’s look at the elite version worth 129,800 yuan first.
FAW Toyota Corolla 2022 2.0L Pioneer Edition Price: 129,800 yuan
As an entry-level model, we have to say that the halogen headlights really make this car stand out The car doesn't look very classy anymore, it doesn't even have LED daytime running lights, it's really a bit shabby. Don't even think about things like reversing images. The seats are naturally made of fabric, and the steering wheel is also made of plastic. In terms of convenience configuration, this version only has one USB charging port in the front row, and there is no charging device or air outlet in the back row. In addition, in the interior, the central control screen is 8 inches, there is no sunroof, and there is no keyless start.
Does this mean that the entry-level elite model is a pitfall? yes! But not quite. In terms of comfort configuration, the entry version model is indeed somewhat lacking, but it is indeed very generous in terms of safety configuration. Except for the top model, the other versions are consistent, especially the knee airbag, which is much better than the Corolla Sharp. There are no high-level models. In addition, only the entry-level version of all Corolla Ruifang models has Carplay and Carlife.
But even so, the entry-level Pioneer Edition is not recommended for everyone. Although the security is guaranteed and the price is advantageous, the configurationIt's really low, which somewhat affects daily car use.
FAW Toyota Corolla 2022 2.0L Elite Edition Price: 139,800 yuan
Compared with the entry version, it is 10,000 more expensive, and all you can get is a sunroof, no Key starts. The central control screen has also become 9 inches, and also has voice recognition and car networking. In terms of convenience configuration, there is an additional USB charging device in the front row. There are also additional air-conditioning outlets in the rear row.
Looking at it this way, although it costs 10,000 yuan more, in my opinion, these extra configurations are really not worth 10,000 yuan. But if you want to choose the Corolla Sharp Amplifier, have a tight budget, and don’t care much about comfortable configurations, the Elite Edition is still worth choosing. After all, even the Elite Edition model is guaranteed in terms of safety. If you add another 10,000 yuan, you can upgrade to the elite version.
FAW Toyota Corolla 2022 2.0L Deluxe Edition Price: 149,800 yuan
Based on the elite version, LED light source headlights Yes, LED daytime running lights and fog lights are also arranged. A reversing camera is also installed in the car, and convenient configurations include keyless entry in the first row and rear charging ports in the car.
It’s gone~ gone~. That's right, it's really not worth it to have so many additional configurations for an extra ten thousand yuan, and the leather steering wheel and leather seats that we consumers value most are not arranged.If you want to get the exclusive version, you have to pay 7,000 yuan. So, what do you get for spending the extra money?
FAW Toyota Corolla 2022 2.0L Exclusive Edition Price: 156,800 yuan
So much more Money, on the outside, first of all, the rearview mirror function is more heated. Because there are four more surround-view cameras on the outside, there are correspondingly more 360-degree panoramic images in the front row inside. The seats are finally made of leather, and the steering wheel is also made of genuine leather. In addition, there are also electric adjustments for the main driver and waist adjustment for the main driver.
The rear row has a central armrest and rear cup holders. This version has a lot of added configurations, and it is absolutely Worth the 7,000 yuan ticket price. Therefore, the exclusive version is also the most recommended choice for everyone in the entire car series. After all, compared to the mid-range models, the overall experience is better.
FAWToyota Corolla 2022 2.0L flagship version Price: 169,800 yuan
With an additional 13,000 yuan, the appearance has a roof The luggage rack and wheels have been upgraded to 18 inches.
The rearview mirror functions include electric folding and automatic folding when the car is locked. The active safety configuration also includes rear side airbags. The sunroof becomes a panoramic sunroof. In terms of convenient configuration, there is an electric induction trunk and trunk position memory.
In terms of technology configuration, front and rear parking sensors are added, and the LCD display instrument is changed from 4.2 inches to 7 inches. Automatic air conditioning, so voice control also adds air conditioning control accordingly. In addition, there are monochrome ambient lights in the car.
Although the flagship version has the most complete experience, if you pay a little more for this price, you can go to the RAV4.
Summary:
Generally speaking, the most worth buying among Corolla’s entire series of models is the Elite Edition and the Exclusive Edition, and they are supplemented by product points. Despite the shortcomings of the Yize IZOA space, it still has advantages compared to its peers in terms of price and positioning. Coupled with Toyota's brand "buff" bonus, it will definitely attract many consumers.
From a rational perspective, Toyota really understands the needs of the Chinese market. The emergence of the Corolla Radar has indeed given consumers a new choice. In fact, consumers at this level do not have a large demand for power. Large space is the real need. So what is worrying is that this will make the original sales The bad Yize IZOA may make matters worse.
And from a vertical point of view, the price of the Corolla Sharp Amplifier is really incomparable with the fuel version of the IZOA. And from a configuration point of view, the top version of the Corolla Sharp Amplifier is really different from the top version of the IZOA. There is not much difference. But fortunately, the Corolla Radar does not have dual engines, which can be regarded as leaving some user groups for IZOA.
