flips through the car sales list and counts the best-selling models. Will you always see a similar answer? Compact car. The
car has natural advantages that other classes don’t have-the price is close to the people, the space is sufficient, the configuration is appropriate, etc., which can basically meet the needs of most family cars, and also have good economic efficiency. But there are so many compact cars on the market today, who should consumers who hold money to buy?
Aiming at the ultimate problem of how to choose a family car, today Zhixingjun will bring you two very special models of this level, Dongfeng Honda Xiangyurui Hybrid and FAW-Toyota Corolla Dual Engine. Where is
special? First of all, they are the only "rare species" in this class with hybrid power (they have derivative sister models, not calculated separately); secondly, they are derived from the reputation of their respective brands and product accumulation, and are very popular in the family car market . So after the comparison, who is better?
Who is better to use and fuel-efficient!
Although hybrid technology has developed rapidly in recent years, it is still a rare high-end technology for the compact car market. Many car companies are constrained by technical reasons on the one hand, and cost and brand image on the other. They only adopt hybrid technology in high-end cars, ignoring the needs of the entry market. Therefore, Honda and Toyota, which are willing to decentralize hybrid technology, naturally stand out.
From a technical point of view, regardless of the third-generation i-MMD hybrid system equipped with the Yuyurui Hybrid or the THS hybrid system of the Corolla Dual Engine, the structure is the same as the hybrid system used on its own mid-to-high-end models. Mobile products are no different. So, which of these two master products performs better?
This starts with the different working logics of the two systems. The first is the third-generation i-MMD hybrid system, which consists of a 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine + high-power dual motors, equipped with EV, hybrid There are three driving modes of driving and direct connection of the engine, which means that it fully takes into account various car scenarios, so that the vehicle is in the most efficient and energy-saving working state.
▲Xianyurui · hybrid
For example, when driving in urban areas, most of the Xiangyurui·Hybrid is directly driven by electric motors. At this time, it is basically the same as a pure electric car, so it is economical. Absolute performance; when the computer detects a heavier throttle, it will switch to the hybrid mode for the first time. At this time, the motor and engine work together to drive the vehicle; and when it is driving at high speed, the motor enters a rest state. Let the engine take over the driving of the vehicle.
Structurally, the THS hybrid system of the Corolla Twin Engine is very similar to the third-generation i-MMD hybrid system, which is composed of a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine + ECVT gearbox. But in working mode, they are different.
▲The motor and engine of the Corolla dual-engine
THS hybrid system are always working together. This has the advantage of ensuring the efficiency of fuel utilization, but the motor cannot help the engine to provide power when driving at high speeds. At this time, the work efficiency is Greatly discounted.
In fact, judging from the thermal efficiency of the engine, both engines can reach more than 40%, but there are obvious differences in the actual power conversion. On the whole, the performance of the third-generation i-MMD will be even better.
In the actual experience, Zhixingjun feels that the power output of Xiangyurui·Hybrid is very linear, and the switching between the three modes can be seamlessly connected. Naturally, it is inseparable from the E-CVT series connection. .
Actually tested, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Xiangyurui Hybrid is as low as 4.0L, and a tank of fuel can run 1000 kilometers. According to the official standard of adding 92# gasoline, the driving cost is only 0.3 yuan per kilometer, which is very fuel-efficient. prominent. Of course, the economy of the Corolla dual engine is also good, but after experiencing the slightly weak performance of the engine when the battery is out of power, Zhixingjun believes that the Xiangyurui Hybrid is better in fuel efficiency conversion.
hybrid cars can also play performance
However, this is not the biggest difference between the two hybrid cars.Let me talk about the difference in driving experience.
According to the chart listed by Zhixingjun, it can be seen that, under similar fuel consumption performance, the power system of Xiangyurui Hybrid can provide the maximum power of 113kW, while the Corolla is only 90kW. In other words, Corolla is trading economy by sacrificing certain performance, but for Xiangyurui·Hybrid, both are required.
Honda’s dedication in sports is something that everyone has heard of. As early as 1987, Honda built the RA167E for F1 events, with a small displacement of 1.5L outputting 1,050 horsepower to dominate the F1 at that time. In recent years, Honda has not given up on the idea of creating a family car that is easy to use and sporty.

After opening the engine compartment of Xiangyurui·Hybrid, I saw the logo of "EARTH DREAM" printed on the engine. This Atkinson cycle engine from the L15B series is still It has many characteristics of Honda engine. In actual driving experience, this power system did not disappoint. In addition to smoothness,
is the enthusiasm of dynamic response. The motor has a torque of 267 Nm for use, so no matter what the situation is, as long as there is a need for power, the vehicle can respond immediately. "Honda Soul" is still handed down in Xiangyu·Sharp Hybrid.
In order to enhance the driver’s enjoyment, Xiangyurui·Hybrid also added a very innovative function, ASC sound wave compensation. In the sport mode, when the driver depresses the accelerator deeply, it will trigger the ASC sound wave compensation function. This sound is from Honda’s supercar NSX. Imagine the driving force of 267 Nm of torque, and the super Running sound waves, this kind of driving pleasure cannot be given by Corolla Double Engine.
Who is a more comprehensive family car?
Static Appreciation of the appearance of the two cars, both have a good rate of returning heads in terms of visual effects. For example, there are LED daytime running lights. For example, Xiangyurui·Hybrid will use black paint to highlight the sense of movement and quality. Corolla dual engine will use chrome embellishment to shape the style. From the comparison of appearance, the two are comparable. Yes, how to choose more depends on personal preference. However, Zhixingjun is very pleased with the design of the Xiangyurui hybrid through-type taillight.
Since the design is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior, we will compare with other objective data. The size of the Xiangyurui Hybrid is 4756×1804×1509mm and the wheelbase is 2730mm, while the Corolla dual engine is only 4635×1780×1455mm and the wheelbase is 2700mm. In terms of parameters, there is a big gap. Coupled with Honda's MM philosophy (maximum riding space and minimize mechanical space), the actual difference in the performance of the interior space is even greater.
▲Comparison data of the two car sizes
After sitting in the back row of Corolla, the remaining leg room is only about one punch. In this case, if you are sitting on a child, it is okay, but if you are sitting on an elder, then hold back Quite a lot.
sits in the rear row of Xiangyurui·Hybrid, the spatial difference is very obvious. Zhixingjun can basically "lie down", and this kind of space performance is not inferior to many mainstream mid-level cars. .
In terms of basic configuration, both cars have rear air-conditioning outlets and USB charging ports, but Xiangyurui Hybrid also has a unique rear center armrest and integrated multifunctional table board in the same level. Care is more in place.
can actually be seen as far as the eye can see who is more suitable for home use, hybrid and Corolla dual engine. The entire interior space of Xiangyurui Hybrid is more atmospheric and bright. The application of large-scale brown leather interiors is very comfortable in both touch and visual effects. There are also SBW button electronic shifts, automatic air conditioning with ambient lights, etc With the configuration, you can feel the sense of grade and high-level sense of Xiangyurui·Hybrid.
▲The difference chart of the two car configuration
Know what to doIt is said that
has a compelling product performance, regardless of whether it is the domain sharp hybrid or the Corolla dual engine. It performs well in all aspects required by the home. It is no wonder that they can become the leader of the compact car. By.
But from the user’s point of view, through this comparison, there is no doubt that Xiangyurui·Hybrid is more in line with the actual needs of family cars, whether it is a comparison of driving experience, space performance or luxury shaping, Xiangyu The sharp hybrids showed leapfrog performance, which made the Corolla Dual Engine, which originally met the entry-level standards, appeared to be "stretched." Therefore, when considering a family car, Zhixingjun recommends Xiangyurui Hybrid.
