Chapter 097: Contrast (2)

Everyone was waiting for Liu Liang to move the car, Fang Yuan looked at Liu Xingye's father and son who were full of anticipation, and asked curiously, "Why did you think of buying Lei Ling Shuangqing and Corolla Shuangqing?"

"We don't know how to drive, we went to the Toyota 4S store to go around, and the sales consultant recommended that Lei Ling Shuangqing is safe, easy to drive, worry-free, very good, and we began to pay attention.

Later, when I went to another Toyota 4S store, the sales consultant said that the Corolla Shuangqing was more disadvantageous, and we liked it at first glance, and finally looked at it and looked dazzled, and we couldn't decide which one to buy. Liu Xingye seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked Fang Yuan in surprise, "Could it be that we have been fooled." ”

"No, Toyota's sales consultants didn't lie to you. Fang Yuan said to everyone that Corolla and Lei Ling are indeed safe and worry-free models, as for easy driving, it depends on what model it is compared with and personal driving habits.

"Fang Yuan, how do you say that Corolla and Lei Ling are safe?" Wang Hu leaned over and asked depressedly, "Aren't the cars always thin-skinned and have very poor safety performance?"

"Corolla and Lei Ling are still relatively safe. Fang Yuan introduced, "What Mr. Liu's family wants to buy is Lei Ling Shuangqing and Corolla Shuangqing, and all of our car dealerships are the lowest matching."

Among them, Corolla Shuangqing E+ is the 2019 1.8L Pioneer Edition, with an official guide price of 207,800, and Leiling Shuangqing E+ is a 2019 1.8PHGSCVT Elite Edition, with an official guide price of 203,800. ”

These two are the lowest configuration of the beggars, so low that there is no front and rear parking radar, no reversing video image, but in terms of safety configuration, it is not ambiguous at all.

In terms of hardware safety, the Corolla's front impact beam is made of aluminum alloy with a thickness of 3.95 mm, which can cover 74% of the front of the car, which greatly plays a protective role.

There is a thick piece of pedestrian protection foam between the crash beam and the bumper, and there is even a secondary crash beam with rolled steel plates, that is, a cross beam that prevents pedestrians from getting caught under the car.

There was an accident on the Internet about a bicycle crashing into a Corolla, but now there is a secondary anti-collision beam that prevents pedestrians from being involved, and there is no longer only a soft plastic bumper, so you don't have to worry about being hit by a bicycle!

Compared with the eighth-generation Camry 2.5G luxury version, which is also a B-class car owned by Toyota, its official guide price is 219,800 yuan.

The front impact beam of the eighth-generation Camry is just a 1.61mm single-layer ram impact beam.

Therefore, the Corolla, which has the main and auxiliary front impact beams and pedestrian protection foam, crushes the eighth-generation Camry.

Fools also know what 3.95 mm vs. 1.61 mm means, and everyone is amazed that for a family car of this class, it is unbelievable, and the materials used are simply too fierce.

"This kind of double protection design generally appears on luxury cars, and the Corolla and Leiling with compact positioning can have this degree of protection, and the materials used are really kind. Fang Yuan nodded, and then introduced, "The rear impact beam of the Corolla is much inferior, just a simple single-layer stamped steel plate, with a thickness of only 1.06 mm. ”

The shabby data and materials used in the Corolla are simply slag compared to the eighth-generation Camry double-layer roll structure and 1.66 mm thick rear impact beam.

After Fang Yuan compared the data of the two, Xu Hong raised his arm and shouted: "I know, if you want to hit Corolla in the future, don't hit the front, you have to hit the back." ”

Fang Yuan also smiled: "Yes, if the 'low-speed' collision, only by pulling the Prado of Toyota's family over can you win the Corolla head-on." ”

"Hahaha. In the laughing crowd, Liu Xingye's father and son were smiling at the same time, and their eyes were full of amazement when they looked at Fang Yuan.

Because without any preparation, all kinds of data are easily listed casually, and it is indeed as Qin Jie said, it is really too professional.

Just now, Liu Xingye's father and son also questioned Fang Yuan's strength, but now it is just the beginning, and they admire the five-body throw to the ground, and completely believe him.

Just talked about the hardware, Fang Yuan told you again, Lei Ling Shuangqing and Corolla Shuangqing are all standard tire pressure monitoring function, seat belt unfastened reminder, ISOFIX child seat interface, ABS anti-lock braking, brake assist, traction control, body stability control and so on.

Such a comprehensive safety configuration completely equals the eighth-generation Camry of Toyota's leading Hua Dan, and is not worse than it.

It's just that Zhenghong Auto Dealership exists, compared with the Corolla Shuangquan and Lei Ling Shuangqing, the safety configuration of the Corolla Shuangqing is the highest, because it has the main and passenger seat airbags and front side airbags in addition to the main and passenger seat airbags and front side airbags that both have, and there are more front and rear head airbags (air curtains) than Lei Ling Shuangqing.

"The new gasoline version of the Corolla is equipped with 8 airbags as standard, which is more powerful than the Corolla Twin Engine. Fang Yuan believes that Corolla attaches great importance to safety, and such a complete safety configuration is not seen in the previous Corolla and its competitors, and even in higher-level models.

"Oh, I see. After Fang Yuan finished speaking, everyone finally stopped doubting the safety of the Corolla Shuangqing and Lei Ling Shuangqing.

Fang Yuan has been talking here for a long time, and Liu Liang has not yet driven the Corolla Shuangqing over.

Everyone saw Liu Liang in the distance bending over in front of the car and behind the car for a while, and was busy trotting for a while, and they were curious about what he was doing.

Finally couldn't wait any longer, the crowd hulala walked over quickly, only to see the wires and power sockets held by Liu Liang in his hands.

"Brother Liu, what are you doing?" Fang Yuan was depressed, he asked Liu Liang to drive the car over, what did he pull out a long wire and power socket from the VIP room?

"After half a year, this is not out of power, I can charge a little to drive the car over. ”

"My brother Liu, the Corolla is a plug-in hybrid, not a pure electric vehicle, and it can run normally with gasoline alone. "Oh my mom, Fang Yuan was about to be angry with Liu Liang.

"Can you drive normally with gasoline alone?" Liu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, "I thought ......"

"Haha. "It's really no harm if there is no comparison, Liu Xingye and Liu Song covered their mouths and smiled, and ridiculed in their hearts that Liu Liang, who introduced himself to BMW, was indeed a mallet, and he couldn't catch up with the horse.

"I knew I was going to have to work hard?" Liu Liang threw all the wires and power sockets in his hands on the ground, hurriedly ran to the main driver's door of Corolla's fists, and sat in to start the engine.

As the engine started, Liu Liang was even more ashamed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The Corolla Shuangqing slowly drove towards the place where the Lei Ling Shuangqing was parked, and everyone followed behind and walked over there.

Liu Song walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Fang Yuan, and asked softly: "When we were in the Toyota 4S store, the sales consultant said what plug-in hybrids and what gasoline-electric hybrids they all meant?"

"Toyota's sales consultant is talking about two classifications of hybrid models: plug-in hybrid and gasoline-electric hybrid. Fang Yuan told Liu Song that the Corolla Shuangqing or Leiling Shuangqing that the family was going to buy belonged to plug-in hybrids.

In addition to the fuel tank, the plug-in hybrid also has a larger battery that can be charged through the socket, and the battery has strong power storage capacity, large motor power, and fast power response, so that the engine does not need to work, and completely relies on the battery to travel a long distance.

Commuting to work in the urban area every day can be used as a pure electric car, so it is divided into the scope of new energy vehicles, and there is no limit to the number of fuel-saving green cards.

The disadvantage is that the maintenance cost of the battery and motor is high in the later stage, there is no charging pile near the residence, and if you live in a high-rise, charging will be a very headache.

"Oh. At the same time, Liu Song understood, some of his heads were big, the community he lived in was relatively old, there was no charging pile at all, and his floor was relatively high, and he wanted to use the power supply at home to pull a line down, I don't know if the neighbors downstairs would have opinions.

"What is a diesel-electric hybrid?"

"There is no charging socket for the hybrid and it does not need to be charged. ”

The battery size of the diesel-electric hybrid is small, the battery capacity is weak, the motor power is small, the oil-electric technology is more mature than the plug-in, and the maintenance cost of the battery and motor is low in the later stage.

The main function of the battery is to start the vehicle, start, and play a role in power compensation when accelerating sharply.

Low-speed driving, stop-and-go are the most fuel-intensive in these cases, and the intervention of the motor solves this problem well, and beyond a certain speed, it will be converted into a gasoline engine to drive the car forward.

The diesel-electric hybrid does not have an external charging socket, so it cannot be charged externally like a plug-in hybrid, and its battery power compensation is to use the power source of the engine to drive the generator to charge the battery, that is, self-charging.

Therefore, the charging form of the gasoline-electric hybrid is very convenient, but its battery capacity is very small, and it is only used as an auxiliary, and it cannot be used as a pure electric vehicle for a long distance like a plug-in hybrid, nor can it be used as a green card.

Liu Song followed Fang Yuan and finally understood the difference between the two, but he stopped talking, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Liang began to place the vehicles under the command of Wang Hu, Xu Hong even drove Lei Ling Shuangqing out, and the two cars were all parked in the spacious aisle, with a distance of more than two meters between the two cars, to ensure that the doors would not collide when opened at the same time.

Everything was ready, and everyone walked to the front of the car, talking happily in front of the two cars.

Indeed, it is the first time that Fang Yuan compares the two models in Zhenghong Auto Dealership in this way, but everyone has to admit that comparing the two cars side by side is very intuitive and very clear, and even people like Liu Song and his son who don't understand cars at all can easily see the difference.

Fang Yuan looked straight at the two cars, organizing the language in his heart, thinking about how to say their differences in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Fang Yuan knew that the Corolla Shuangqing was produced by FAW Toyota in Huaxia, and the Leiling Shuangqing was manufactured by GAC Toyota.

In fact, just like Magotan and Passat, Sipirui and Accord, Sima and Teana, Corolla Shuangqing and Leiling Shuangqing cannot be regarded as the same car, in fact, it is just to avoid the mutual influence of their own products, to prevent competition for users, the brother models with differentiated styling design have been adopted.

The Corolla is the world's best-selling and most marketed compact model, with a global sales performance of more than 44 million, reaching a height that all car companies need to look up to.

Since the 10th generation Corolla entered China in 2007, it has also established a good reputation in China with its durable leather, fuel economy, cheap maintenance, and the image of an economical sedan.

And it is said that the original form of the male protagonist of this "Initial D", the predecessor of the Toyota AE86, the car of Keichi Tsuchiya, who is known as the "King of Tail Flicking", is Corolla.

Compared with Corolla, Lei Ling's sales in Huaxia are obviously not as good as those of his brothers, and his reputation is much inferior.

Lei Ling originated in North America, and only entered China in 2014, seven years later than Corolla, not only to compete with enemies, but also to fight with fellow brothers, and the mix is far less chic than when he was in North America.

Lei Ling is not as good as Corolla, and Lei Ling Shuangqing is also involved and needs to follow behind Corolla Shuangqing to catch up.

Since the fame can't fight the Corolla, GAC starts with the price.

The Leiling Shuangqing E+ 2019 1.8PHVCVT luxury version and the Corolla Shuangqing E+ 2019 1.8L flagship version that Liu Song's family have seen have the same 1.8L 99 horsepower L4 engine and E-CVT continuously variable transmission.

Length, width, height, wheelbase, maximum power, maximum horsepower, maximum torque, etc. are all the same.

However, the official guide price of Lei Ling Shuangqing is 12,000 cheaper than that of Corolla Shuangqing.

The two beggars in Zhenghong Automobile Dealership, Lei Ling Shuangqing are also 4,000 yuan cheaper than Corolla Shuangqing.

As for why it was cheap, Fang Yuan could only smile.

The same engine, the same gearbox, the same chassis, the same size, the same battery and warranty, the difference is in the exterior, interior and configuration.

Corolla Shuangqing takes a mature route, the target is family users, the overall appearance design is based on straight lines, which looks simple and atmospheric, especially the large area of horizontal bar grille sinking in the front face, and the chrome strip that runs through the rear of the car, the two echo each other, and the whole car is very textured, relatively wide and thick, more refined, and the sense of fashion and luxury is stronger.

Lei Ling Shuangqing positioning is biased towards sports style, and the target users are young people who are vigorous and like fashion.

Therefore, its shape is closer to the Corolla released in the Bald Eagle Country before, and the aggressive appearance is manifested in the honeycomb grille, and the shape of the lamp group is relatively more aggressive.

Although the design of the two lights is integrated, there is still a difference between Lei Ling Shuangqing and Corolla Shuangqing, Corolla Shuangqing is connected with chrome strips and black decorations, Lei Ling Shuangqing is connected with a through-type honeycomb grille, and the design of the rear of the car also echoes the sporty style of the front face, which is more dynamic.

The sides of the Leiling Shuangqing and the Corolla Shuangqing are almost identical, the main difference is that the style of the rim is different, but the size of the tires is the same.

Fang Yuan knew that Liu Xingye's family had already seen the two cars in detail, and now that they were put together, they could easily compare the differences in appearance.

Therefore, Fang Yuan simply pointed out some differences in appearance, telling everyone that the appearance of the Corolla Shuangqing is mature and textured, suitable for family users, and the appearance of Lei Ling Shuangqing is sharp and flamboyant, suitable for young users, so he motioned everyone to come and see the interior.
