Toyota corolla sharp dual-engine version measured： a household SUV with a monthly fuel saving of nearly 1,000 yuan

Under the background of the rapid development of new energy vehicles, traditional fuel vehicle manufacturers are also actively transforming and launching various hybrid vehicles. As a pioneer of hybrid power technology, its "double engine" series has always attracted much attention. Today, we will discuss Toyota’s compact SUV-version in depth to see how it stands out in the home SUV market in 2024.

With the consumption upgrade of the domestic automobile market, consumers’ requirements for vehicles are no longer limited to transportation, but also pursue high cost performance, low fuel consumption and intelligent configuration. Toyota Corolla Sharp is aiming at this market segment. As a compact SUV, it competes on the same stage as Nissan Hacker and Honda Binzhi.

According to the latest data, in the first quarter of 2024, the sales volume of compact SUV market increased by 15% year-on-year, of which hybrid vehicles accounted for more than 30%. This trend reflects that consumers’ demand for more environmentally friendly and economical cars is increasing.

The design of corolla sharp release fully embodies Toyota’s latest design concept. The front face adopts a family-style trapezoidal air intake grille, and with the sharp LED headlight group, it creates a young and dynamic image without losing stability. It is worth mentioning that the details of the 2024 model have been fine-tuned, such as the addition of matte black decorative strips to the front surround, which further enhances the three-dimensional sense and sporty temperament of the vehicle.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4460/1825/1620mm and the wheelbase is 2640mm respectively. This size belongs to the upper-middle level in the same class, which not only ensures a good internal space, but also does not bring too much trouble to daily parking.

Stepping into the car, the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and the 8-inch floating central control screen first came into view, creating a strong sense of science and technology. It is commendable that while retaining the physical buttons, Toyota also incorporates touch elements. This design not only takes care of the usage habits of users of different ages, but also ensures the convenience of operation during driving. The seat is made of imitation leather with good texture, and the front seat supports electric adjustment. The rear row space is quite satisfactory. For passengers with a height of about 175cm, there is plenty of head and leg space. In addition, the design of the rear center armrest box and the air outlet of the independent air conditioner also reflects Toyota’s emphasis on passenger comfort.

The Corolla sharp-release dual-engine version is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and motor hybrid power system, in which the maximum power of the engine is 112kW(152Ps) and the maximum power of the motor is 83kW(113Ps). This system, called "Double Engine E+", not only provides good power performance, but also achieves excellent fuel economy.

According to official data, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of this model is only 4.59L/100km. In the actual test, we easily achieved the fuel consumption performance of 5.2L/100km under urban working conditions, which is undoubtedly quite eye-catching in the same class SUV.

It is worth mentioning that the endurance of Toyota’s latest upgraded hybrid system in electric mode has been significantly improved. In the congested urban road conditions, the use frequency of pure electric mode increases obviously, which not only brings better fuel economy, but also improves driving comfort.

After a week’s practical driving experience, I was deeply impressed by the Corolla Rapunzel. First of all, its starting acceleration is smooth and there is no obvious sense of frustration, which is due to the instantaneous torque output of the motor. When driving in urban areas, the acceleration response is rapid in the speed range of 40-60km/h, and it can be handled calmly when overtaking or merging.

The suspension system performed equally well. Using the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, the vibration of vehicles passing through speed bumps or potholes is well suppressed. Even if driving for a long time, the passengers will not feel obvious fatigue.

In addition, the new Corolla amplifier has also upgraded NVH performance, and effectively reduced wind noise and road noise by optimizing engine compartment sound insulation materials and body structure. When cruising at 80km/h, the noise inside the car is maintained at about 65 decibels, creating a comfortable and quiet driving environment.

In terms of intelligent driving assistance, Corolla Sharp is equipped with Toyota’s latest TSS Zhixing safety system. The system includes full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and other functions. It is worth mentioning that the 2024 model has also added an intersection steering assist function, which can effectively reduce the risk of collision with pedestrians or bicycles when turning.

The official guide price of the Corolla sharp dual-engine version is 148,800-189,800 yuan. However, according to the latest market feedback, most 4S stores have different degrees of discount at present. Taking Beijing as an example, the preferential margin of the top edition can reach about 35 thousand yuan, and the actual landing price is around 160 thousand yuan.

Considering its excellent fuel economy, rich configuration and Toyota’s reliable quality reputation, the price-performance ratio of Corolla Sharp is very competitive in the same class. Especially for those family users who pay attention to the cost of long-term car use, this is undoubtedly a good choice.

Summary:

On the whole, Toyota Corolla sharp-release dual-engine version has shown good competitiveness in the home SUV market in 2024. It not only retains Toyota’s consistent reliability and durability, but also significantly improves its power system and intelligent configuration. Although it may not be as brilliant as some "online celebrity" models in some details, its balanced overall performance is exactly what many home users value.

It may not be the most amazing one, but it is probably the one that has been with you for the longest time.
