Mark-up sales is a phenomenon that has been repeatedly prohibited, from the earliest Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tiguan to Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and then toyota Alpha, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Syna, Lexus ES, etc., you will find that this phenomenon has begun to change from German cars to Japanese cars, which can reflect the "wind vane" of consumers when choosing car series. In the past few years, you did not buy a German car, others felt that you "did not understand the car", in recent years, you do not buy a Japanese car, others think you "do not understand the car", in the end should choose the German car, or the Japanese car? Fundamentally, this is the "collision" of two car-making concepts, one is the engineer's car-making concept, and the other is the craftsman spirit. Driving texture, German cars are generally stronger than Japanese cars, fuel economy, Japanese cars are generally stronger than German cars. But fuel economy of this kind of thing, with the development and growth of new energy vehicles, Japanese cars have no advantage, your fuel consumption is low, but also to burn oil, people pure electric vehicles do not burn a drop of oil, how to compare?
I found a very interesting thing, Toyota's certain model to increase the price, does not depend on Toyota itself, but depends on its competitors, when the competitors are stronger, Toyota's model will not increase the price, when the strength of the competitors is weaker, the probability will increase the price, such as Toyota Alpha, it is almost no opponent in the domestic high-end MPV market, of course, it will increase the price, and toyota Highlander, at the beginning will increase the price is also the competitors do not give the force to promote, with the Volkswagen Tuang, Ford Sharp World With the arrival of Grand Commander Jeep and Crown-Lu Fang, Highlander felt the "pressure" and it was reasonable not to increase the price. In the A-class car market, it has always been a situation of tiger and wolf feeding ring, Toyota Corolla does not dare to increase the price at all, needless to say that Honda Civic, Volkswagen Langyi, Nissan Xuanyi and other models, the same from Toyota's Leiling let it dare not take it lightly. Therefore, FAW Toyota is no longer "proud", and the 100,000-class family car has dropped by up to 22,800, just to increase sales.
Corolla priced at 10.98-15.98 million yuan, it launched a total of 12 models, of which 1.5L models have 5 models, 1.2T models have 4 models, 1.8L dual engine models have 3 models, according to the distribution of models, 1.5L models are the most, it is the main sales model, but I do not recommend 1.5L models, the reason is very simple, this 1.5L engine is a three-cylinder engine, although now the car company optimizes the three-cylinder engine better and better, from the driving experience, even you don't know whether the car you are driving is equipped with a four-cylinder engine or a three-cylinder machine, the shaking is not obvious The noise is not large, it seems that the three-cylinder machine can already be comparable to the four-cylinder machine. Maybe I am still more conservative, always feel that the mechanical performance of the three-cylinder engine attenuation is more serious than the four-cylinder machine, after all, it has more than a set of balance system, used to offset the unequal force of the number of cylinders, to put it bluntly, that is, to let the engine not shake the increase in the reverse balance shaft or reverse flywheel, is not fundamentally to solve the problem of three-cylinder engine jitter, over time, the effect will inevitably decay, in the end, I do not trust the three-cylinder machine. That's why I don't recommend the Corona 1.5L model.
So, is the Coronala 1.8L dual-engine model worth buying? It depends on which aspect you focus on, if you choose a dual engine model because it is fuel-efficient, it is not cost-effective. You can calculate an account, the fuel version of the Corolla is 109,800 yuan, the dual engine model is 135,800 yuan, the difference is 26,000; in terms of fuel consumption, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the NEDC of the 1.5L model is 5.2L/100km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the NEDC of the dual engine model is 4.1L/100km. Running a hundred kilometers of fuel consumption difference of 1.1L, to 7.5 yuan a liter calculation, running a hundred kilometers, double engine model can save 8.25 yuan, running 300,000 kilometers can save 24,000 yuan, and the general family car rarely runs to 300,000 kilometers, which means that you spend more money to save fuel costs to recover is difficult to achieve, and the retention rate of dual engine models is not as high as fuel models. Therefore, if you want to save fuel and choose a dual engine model, you will probably be disappointed.
If you choose the dual engine model because you want to improve the driving texture, this is ok, the dual engine model has more power output, it is smoother to drive, and its mute effect is better than that of fuel cars. On the whole, it is still the Corolla 1.2T model is more worthy of recommendation, this 1.2T turbocharged engine power output is better than the 1.5L engine, or a four-cylinder engine, the price is between the 1.5L model and the 1.8L twin engine model, its short board is less.
In terms of price, we take the Corolla 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS Edition as an example, since October last year, its preferential efforts have been increasing, from the discount of 12,000 yuan in October to the discount of 22,800 yuan in January, and the early 90,000 can start this model. From the sales point of view, Corolla also began to increase from October last year, for example, last October it sold 19456 units, to December sales rose to 30677 units, it seems that Corolla's "magic weapon" to increase sales is also based on large discounts, only rely on "faith", consumers will not pay.
