If you want to say which market segment is the most concerned, it must be a joint venture compact car. For the people, their moderate price, practical configuration and the identity of the joint venture car determine that this level of models is the only choice for home use. If you also happen to choose a car at this level, there are two cars that must be within your consideration - Corolla and Lingpai, one is the benchmark of the same level, and the other is the king of space, then who is the better three-good student? Let's take a plate!
1. Design
In terms of exterior design, Corolla's exterior design is atmospheric, sharp headlight lines complement the Toyota family-style "big mouth" shape, and the chrome trim that runs across the front face and the C-shaped front bumper design also stretch the width of Corolla's front face, adding a lively atmosphere at the same time.
Ling Pai's front face design uses thick chrome trim strips and black mouth, the front design is also square feeling, the designer obviously wants to highlight its stability and momentum, but from the front of the car point of view, Ling Pai's body center of gravity will appear relatively high, the proportion is not very coordinated.
The side design of the Corolla is flat and stable, which is very in line with the Chinese aesthetics of the sedan, and the wheelbase of 2700mm is also at an excellent level in the same level.
The side design of Ling Pai is more ostentatious, the lower waist line has a large upward angle, and the C pillar also adopts a slipback type, and the overall design feels more lively.
Corolla's tail design is more three-dimensional, using the popular chrome through-trim design, and the C-shaped line of the rear bumper echoes the front bumper.
Ling Pai's taillight design has a blackening effect, and the tail also has a decorative duckling tail, but the tail design of Ling Pai is not as pleasing as Corolla's, and it is estimated that the taillight area is too large.
Second, the interior design
In terms of interior design, Corolla adopts a stronger wrap-around design, the center console design sense is very strong, taking the home route, and the suspension center console expands the storage space below. The Corolla double engine top model also uses a 12.1-inch LCD display, which has a strong sense of technology, and the atmosphere of the black and white double color block interior of the top is good.
Ling Pai's interior design is closer to the Civic, and the central car machine part adopts a suspension design, but in the size of the car machine screen, Ling Pai is indeed not very dominant.
Third, internal configuration
Corolla is based on the TNGA architecture, and the manufacturer also installs the TSS 2.0 Smart Travel security system on the Corolla, and all of them are standard. I think this practice is very thick, no matter how the configuration of the car, the most basic active safety configuration is still to give to consumers, and can open lane maintenance and collision warning respectively, the driver has a relatively large choice.
Lingpai's driving assistance system is a one-button opening mode, which is more convenient to use, but the fly in the ointment is that Lingpai's driving assistance is not the standard of the whole system, but it will be equipped at the top and secondary top, and in this regard, Corolla is more practical.
Corolla is equipped with knee airbags and seat airbags on the basis of the main and co-pilot airbags, and the front side airbags, it is worth mentioning that the Corolla is equipped with 8 SRS airbags as standard. The body also uses a large area of high-strength steel, and more effort is made in passive safety.
Compared with the Corolla, the Lingpai is only equipped with basic main and co-pilot airbags; the front airbags are slightly inferior to its opponents in safety.
Corolla's flagship model is also equipped with automatic far and near light, which is much safer when driving at night, and does not require the driver to frequently switch between near and far lights. At the same time, Corolla also has the rear seats to recline, and it is natural to pull large pieces.
Lingpai's characteristic rear function is that multi-functional small table board, which is indeed very practical after folding, but the function cannot be used in a fully loaded state, and its back seat does not support falling, practical and innovative, obviously Lingpai chose the latter.
Fourth, the power configuration
Corolla is equipped with 1.2T, 1.5L, 1.8L dual engine three power configurations, matching the CVT / E-CVT gearbox, the power configuration is diverse, and E-CVT gearbox with planetary gears, the power connection is smoother, the dual engine version of the Corolla is very fuel-efficient.
In terms of suspension, the Corolla series is equipped with independent suspension as standard, and the chassis adjustment is very stable.
Lingpai has a 1.0T three-cylinder engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with two powertrains of hybrid system, which is matched by the CVT transmission. In terms of gasoline engines, the power parameters of Lingpai 1.0T are basically the same as those of Corolla, but the three-cylinder engine is not attractive to ordinary consumers, and the power parameters of the hybrid 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with the hybrid system version are slightly larger than the power of the Corolla dual engine. But for the grocery cart, both cars have enough power.
In terms of suspension, Ling Pai adopts a non-independent suspension of the torque beam, which is slightly inferior in comfort, but this suspension form is exchanged for a larger interior space of the carriage, which I think is also understandable.
Summary: After the final test of the hard power of the two cars, there is also an indicator that must be considered before buying a car - the retention rate. Toyota's reliability has won it a good reputation, which means that it has a high retention rate, and the Corolla, as the evergreen tree of second-hand models, is naturally more popular with consumers. Lingpai's large space advantage is also more obvious, but the three-cylinder engine is indeed a problem that must be considered for the residual value.
