Chapter 098: I'm not a roundworm in his stomach

Under Fang Yuan's greeting, everyone came to the open car door, standing between the two cars and looking into the car together.

Fang Yuan once again emphasized that the Lei Ling Shuangqing E+ and Corolla Shuangqing E+ in front of him are the lowest configuration, there is no automatic sunroof, no central control touch screen, and the seats are all fabric.

The top Lei Ling Shuangqing E+ seat that Liu Xingye's family likes is a sports style seat with imitation leather mixed with leather, and the seat with the top Corolla Shuangqing E+ is only made of leather.

At the same time, both have an automatic sunroof, a leather three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, and are also equipped with a 4.2-inch LCD instrument cluster and an 8-inch touch LCD screen, giving people a sense of technology.

The interior of the Leiling Shuangqing E+ continues to follow the style of the gasoline version of the model, and the design of the central control is square and regular. Moreover, the Leiling Shuangqing E+ also uses the same blue interior buttons and the backlight color of the screen as the logo.

The interior of the Corolla Shuangqing E+ also continues to follow the design style of the gasoline version of the Shuangqing, and the overall look is warm. Of course, blue accessories and brown colors are also added, and it looks high-end.

After talking about these obvious differences, Fang Yuan simply took the low-profile Corolla Shuangqing E+ as the top configuration to tell Liu Xingye's family what are the differences between the two in terms of invisible configuration or details that are not easy to pay attention to.

Compared with each other, the configuration of Corolla Shuangqing E+ is higher, except for the sports seats without Leiling Shuangqing E+, it has more front seat heating than Leiling Shuangqing E+, lumbar support adjustment, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, rearview mirror heating, interior atmosphere lights, and automatic anti-glare in the interior mirror.

In addition, the number of speakers in the Corolla Shuangqing E+ is 6, which is two more than the Leiling Shuangqing E+.

After Fang Yuan finished speaking in one breath, he turned to look at Liu Xingye: "Now I know that the Corolla Shuangqing E+ is more than 10,000 yuan more expensive than the Lei Ling Shuangqing E+, where is the price?"

"Got it, got it. Liu Xingye let out a long breath, and after Fang Yuan's explanation, he felt very open and happy.

"You're looking at the top trim, and there's basically no big difference in the interior. They are 4,645 mm, 1,775 mm, 1,480 mm in length, 1,775 mm in height, and have a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. Fang Yuan opened the back door again, "There is generally a bulge in the middle of the rear row of the rear wheel drive and the four-wheel drive car, which is where the transmission shaft passes......

Fang Yuan pointed to the middle of the back row of the Corolla Shuangqing E+ and said, in case there are three people sitting in the back row, the person in the middle will be very awkward because of the bulge under his feet.

Some car companies will retain this bulge even if the front-wheel drive car does not have a rearward drive shaft due to cost.

The rear floor of this Corolla Shuangqing E+ is very flat, so the space is slightly larger, which is very practical.

Closing the car door, Fang Yuan walked back to the front, this time he sat in the main driver's seat, and everyone else gathered around the door.

The Corolla Shuangqing E+ and Leiling Shuangqing E+ are equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, a dual-motor E-CVT transmission, and a battery pack.

To put it bluntly, both plug-in hybrid models are based on the dual engine, adding an external charging device and a larger capacity lithium battery pack. Therefore, in terms of important parameters such as engine, motor, battery capacity, and pure electric range, the performance of both cars is the same......"

"Team leader, what about the 1.8L naturally aspirated engine?" Wang Hu pouted with disgust on his face, "If you can say that cheap models like Wuling Hongguang and Dongfang Shuaike can still be said in the past, these 200,000 cars are too shabby, right? ”

"What's wrong with the naturally aspirated engine?" Xu Hong disliked the turbo lag of the turbocharged engine, and the high maintenance cost in the later stage, thinking that there was no self-priming engine smooth and stable.

"The turbocharged engine is powerful and fuel-efficient. Wang Hu was very unconvinced, and took the Volkswagen CC that Fang Yuan just sold as an example, which is also the official guide price of 200,000 cars, and they are equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, which accelerates from zero to 100 in more than eight seconds, and has an ejection mode, shifting paddles, and beating this Corolla Shuangqing E+.

"What's wrong with spending some gas? You can't think about the horse running again, and you want the horse not to eat grass, right?" Xu Hong shouted, insisting that the smooth output of the naturally aspirated engine is the king.

The salesmen quarreled into a pot of porridge, and Liu Song and Liu Xingye, father and son, were so happy that they forgot about buying a car.

"Shame on you. Fang Yuan lowered his head angrily and covered his face, fortunately Liu Song and his son were not customers who came to buy a car, otherwise they would have made a big appearance.

"Alright, alright, don't make any noise. ”

Under Fang Yuan's strong persuasion, Xu Hong and Wang Hu finally shut up obediently, but the two of them looked at each other angrily, like two big red roosters fighting, neither of them was convinced.

"Fang Yuan, you can talk about it, otherwise when the customer leaves, the two of them will still pinch. Liu Liang was also afraid of being embarrassed in front of the customer, so he asked Fang Yuan to stand up and say a fair word.

"Me?" Fang Yuan had a feeling of being driven to the shelves, and there was really no way to do it, so he sighed and said, turbocharged engines and naturally aspirated engines have their own advantages, and it is impossible to say who is the best.

Now in order to save energy and reduce emissions, coupled with high oil prices, various OEMs vigorously promote and recommend turbocharged engines, especially now small-displacement turbocharged models are very popular, 1.5T, 2.0T God cars are very many, and even 1.0T, 1.2T, there is a trend of replacing natural aspiration.

For example, some models of Highlander and Volkswagen have all been changed to turbocharged engines, completely abandoning the naturally aspirated engine, and after replacing the turbocharged engine, the enhanced power and excellent results give people a feeling that the turbocharged engine is stronger than the naturally aspirated engine.

Especially Highlander, there used to be a saying that "downhill does not exceed Camry, uphill does not follow Highlander", which means that the old Highlander is weak in power and weak uphill, so don't follow the Uphill Highlander, otherwise it will not be able to climb up and slide down, and the car following behind will be unlucky.

Of course, this sentence is an old yellow calendar, especially after the Highlander is replaced with a 2.0T engine, the power bar rises, and now it is almost impossible to climb a steep slope of 45 degrees.

"Look, I'll just say that the turbocharged engine is the first choice for buying a car, and the naturally aspirated model is weak. Fang Yuan's words gave Wang Hu a lot of confidence, and he glanced at Xu Hong with his arms in his arms, looking like he had won very well.

"You ......" Xu Hongqi's old face was flushed, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute Wang Hu, so he could only stare at him fiercely, and his chest rose and fell violently, and he didn't speak.

"Alright, alright, blame me for not explaining. Fang Yuan smiled and played round, "The dispute over which is better or worse between naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines has actually existed for a long time......

Fang Yuan said that from a technical point of view, of course, the turbocharged engine is advanced, but it cannot be arbitrarily considered that the turbocharged engine is better than the naturally aspirated engine, it can only be said that each has its own advantages and its own shortcomings!

Whether naturally aspirated or turbocharged, its essence is a gasoline internal combustion engine, which uses fuel combustion to do work.

The original purpose of turbocharging was to get more power without changing the amount of exhaust.

Therefore, the difference between naturally aspirated and turbocharged is that the turbocharger added to the turbocharged engine can squeeze more air into the cylinder, so that the intake pressure increases, and the exhaust gas of the engine is used to promote the turbo to rotate and increase the air intake, so as to achieve more air under high pressure to participate in combustion with a smaller physical displacement, and finally achieve the goal of increasing the power output of the engine.

Compared with the naturally aspirated and turbocharged displacement, the power of a turbocharged engine is generally increased by about 40%.

For example, the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is equivalent to the 2.2-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine is equivalent to the power of the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.

In terms of fuel consumption, turbocharged engines save between 10 and 20 percent less fuel than naturally aspirated engines with the same power performance.

For example, compared with the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, the 1.8T turbocharged engine often has lower fuel consumption, which is one of the reasons why major OEMs push turbocharging in order to attract consumers.

However, as the saying goes, the turbocharger uses the exhaust gas after the combustion of the engine to increase the power and reduce fuel consumption, and the high temperature of the engine exhaust also makes the temperature of the turbocharger itself rise sharply.

In order to protect the turbocharger, it is necessary to have a cooling system to cool down, which will undoubtedly increase the manufacturing cost and require high-grade oil to match, so the turbocharged model will be sold at a higher price, with higher maintenance costs, higher maintenance costs, and higher labor costs.

So in terms of failure rate, naturally aspirated engines are theoretically much lower.

Naturally aspirated engines have a long history of development, and are not only technically mature, stable, reliable, and inexpensive to maintain, but also have obvious advantages in terms of ride and noise control.

Turbocharged engine due to high cylinder pressure, will have a certain impact on the engine life, the noise will be obviously larger, if the same model manufacturer does not carry out additional noise reduction treatment for turbocharged engine, turbocharged NVH performance is relatively poor.

The power output of the naturally aspirated engine is not as strong, but the power output curve is very linear, the power output is very smooth, and the driving experience is very comfortable, which is much stronger than that of a turbocharged engine.

In addition, when it comes to maintenance, turbocharged engines are hotter, the failure rate is relatively large, which increases the cost of additional maintenance, and the oil required is best fully synthetic engine oil, while naturally aspirated engines will be relatively less demanding.

Don't underestimate the maintenance cost of engine oil, which is a large expense for some German models that burn engine oil.

Finally, Fang Yuan concluded that the advantages in emissions, power and fuel consumption are the reasons why major OEMs are pushing turbocharged engines.

However, the advantages of naturally aspirated engines in terms of fuel economy and maintenance are relatively obvious, and they are undoubtedly more attractive to consumers who pay more attention to economy, and have many supporters.

In general, turbocharging is still unable to completely replace the naturally aspirated engine, different engines have their own tendency design, can not simply say which is better, should be based on their own needs rational choice.

Therefore, I am happy to have money that is difficult to buy, and I don't spend other people's money, I like turbocharging or natural aspiration, just choose what suits you.

After introducing the difference between turbocharging and natural aspiration, Fang Yuan hurriedly changed the topic, and then talked about the Corolla Shuangqing E+.

The power of the 1.8L naturally aspirated engine equipped with the Corolla Shuangqing E+ is indeed weak, but the biggest difference between the Corolla Shuangqing E+ and other hybrid, new energy and fuel models is that this car can only be driven in hybrid mode and pure electric mode, and cannot only rely on the gasoline engine to run.

Fang Yuan asked everyone to look at the three black buttons in front of the gear handlebar, from right to left: EVCITY, HV\EV, DRIVE.

"When I was in the 4S store, I also saw these three buttons and listened to the sales consultant. Liu Song looked confused, saying that he didn't understand at the time.

"I'll tell you more about it. ”

Fang Yuan first pointed to the black button on the far right, EVCITY pure electric mode is the main function of Corolla Shuangqing E+, which is to take into account that the car owner's daily commute is generally tens of kilometers.

So if you choose EVCITY, this car is gorgeously transformed into a pure electric car, and it can travel 55 kilometers in a pure electric state.

In other words, if you drive properly, you can use almost no fuel every day, and you can commute to work with electricity.

If you are worried about the power while driving, you can download the APP through your mobile phone and bind it, which can monitor the power in real time and query the charging pile, even if there is something temporary after work, there is no problem at all.

At that time, Toyota's sales consultant said that the battery of the Corolla Shuangqing E+ was Panasonic, with a battery capacity of 10.5 kilowatts per hour, which could be fully charged in 3 hours using a high-efficiency charger, and could be charged by using a 220V charging cable with the car and connecting to a general household outlet. Liu Song added, "But I'm still worried about the battery." ”

"Yes, the sales consultant seems to say that there is a 'worry-free plan', and how many years has the battery been guaranteed?" Liu Xingye can't remember the after-sales of the battery.

"It's a battery worry-free plan. ”

As long as it is not a commercial vehicle, the power battery has an unlimited number of years and unlimited mileage on the basis of the 8-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty.

In addition, the motor control unit and motor enjoy an 8-year or 200,000 km warranty, which reassures the owner that the "battery worry-free plan" is still valid for second-hand cars, and the maximum improvement of the vehicle value retention rate.

"In the middle is the EV\HV button. ”

This button is to choose the hybrid logic, that is, to switch to the motor or the internal combustion engine, in fact, there is no need to care, when the car has been driving for a period of time, there is power on the CITY and no power on the hybrid, it will automatically switch to EV or HV mode.

Finally, the DRIVE on the left is in hybrid mode, where the 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine starts to provide power.

According to different personal driving habits, the fuel consumption is about 1.3L per 100 kilometers when fully charged, and the average fuel consumption is about four liters when not charging.

Liu Song and Liu Xingye nodded together to say that they finally understood this time, and they expressed their surprise at running 1,000 kilometers with full fuel and electricity, and sighed that it was incredible.

"There's more. Fang Yuan said that pure electric vehicles are particularly afraid of driving in winter, because there are not a few people who dare not turn on the air conditioner and their hands and feet are frozen.

In order to solve this problem without starting the engine and not consuming gasoline, the Corolla Shuangqing E+ is equipped with a new air conditioning system with the addition of an additional electric heating core.

When driving in the pure electric state of CITY mode, and if the temperature is minus 10 degrees, the new air conditioning system will automatically start, so that the power consumption of the air conditioning is minimized, and the engine does not participate in the work, which not only improves the comfort level in the car to ensure safe driving, but also reduces fuel consumption.

For hazy weather, this air conditioner also has the function of automatically filtering PM2.5 and pollen, which is also good for passengers.

"See this B on the gear knob? This is strong energy recovery. Fang Yuan explained that in addition to recovering electricity, it can also be used as engine braking for long uphill and long downhill, which is convenient for novice drivers.

In addition, the Corolla Shuangqing E+ top 8-inch multi-touch capacitive color screen has intelligent navigation can connect to the network in real time, real-time update of traffic information, 5 years of free map updates, and can be updated by linking SD card/WiFi, with Baidu Carlife smartphone interconnected multimedia system, support security 4.0 and I0S7.0 and above systems.

......

After talking about everything, Fang Yuan concluded: Corolla Shuangqing E+ and Lei Ling Shuangqing E+ have low use costs, maintenance is not expensive, durable and worry-free, this 1.8L engine is carefully maintained on time, can be hundreds of thousands of kilometers without overhaul, as a compact model, the interior space is not particularly spacious, but there is no sense of restraint.

The most amazing thing is the appearance, which is simply the first choice for appearance control.

You can also get a green card, you don't have to worry about the limit, and you can drive at any time.

As for the disadvantages, the power of the 1.8L engine is weak, and the acceleration from zero to 100 seconds is 13 seconds, so if you consider fuel economy, you should not slam on the accelerator, after all, this car is just a family car, not a road racer.

The configuration of the whole vehicle is relatively low, and the low configuration that is as fast as 200,000 does not even have a large central control screen.

The interior is too cheap, open the door, and it feels like the domestic 100,000 models are much better than their interiors.

There is also a very poor shock absorption effect, especially when walking on mountain roads or non-paved roads, you can feel obvious bumps, and the interior will have a lot of abnormal noise.

In short, there are no obvious advantages, no fatal flaws, not to mention the handling that old drivers expect, they are all family cars.

Therefore, Corolla Shuangqing E+ and Lei Ling Shuangqing E+ except for a slight difference in appearance, the configuration is a little different, with all the same advantages and disadvantages, as for which of these two models to choose, it depends on Liu Song's family's love and preference for appearance and configuration, oh, by the way, there is also the price, after all, Lei Ling Shuangqing E+ is cheap.

After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he took a step back, and let Liu Song and his son face this Corolla Shuangqing E+, making it clear that they wanted the Liu family to make their own decisions.

Of course, the salesmen of Zhenghong Auto Dealership understood what Fang Yuan meant, and they also stood behind Fang Yuan.

Liu Xingye is fifty years old, he doesn't know how to drive, and his son and daughter-in-law drive the car after buying it, so in the end, he still wants his son Liu Song to take the idea, and he is only responsible for paying for it.

But when he looked at Liu Song, he found that his son was looking straight at the Corolla Shuangqing E+ in front of him, but he didn't say anything.

Liu Xingye was anxious, thinking that he listened to Fang Yuan's clear introduction and comparison, and he understood everything in his heart, what else is not clear about you?

"Ah Song, which one to buy?" Liu Xingye couldn't help but urge his son, he didn't know the advantages and disadvantages before, so he didn't know how to choose, but now with Fang Yuan's help and knowing all the information, what are you hesitating about?

Decide early, buy a car early, what to spend in the used car market?

Seeing that Liu Song still didn't speak, Liu Liang, who was standing in the distance, lowered his voice and asked curiously: "What's wrong with Liu Song?" ”

"I'm not a roundworm in his stomach, how do I know what he thinks?" Fang Yuan smiled bitterly.

"If it's you, which one do you buy?" Liu Liang also wanted to know Fang Yuan's choice.

"I, I don't choose either. ”

Fang Yuan's voice was not loud, but it attracted the attention of the colleagues next to him.

Seeing that Liu Song and Liu Xingye didn't notice this, Fang Yuan said confidently and boldly: "Because our car dealers have more suitable models." ”

"A more suitable model?"

"How did we not know?"

"Why?"

The salesmen gathered around were a little puzzled, and shouted that whether it was Corolla or Leiling, they were durable, worry-free and money-saving, or green plates, how could there be better models than them?

"Why?" Fang Yuan turned to look at Liu Song's wife, who was still circling around the Volkswagen CC in the distance, and said slowly, "It's not that Corolla and Lei Ling are bad, but because she is a pregnant woman and a novice driver." ”
