Old rules, let’s talk about the price first and then talk about the car. There are 4 configuration versions in the 2022 Corolla, one 1.5-liter version, one manual and one automatic, one 1.2T and one 1.8 dual-engine, and the official guide price is between 109,800 and 135,800 yuan. From January to September this year, Toyota Corolla sold a total of about 185,000 units, of which about 120,000 units were sold for the 1.2T version, about 42,000 units, and only 21,800 units were sold for the 1.5-liter version. The 1.2T version is the main sales force of Corolla. Here we take the 2022 1.2T Pioneer PLUS version as an example. The official guide price is 122,800 yuan. In Shandong, it can currently be discounted by 26,000 yuan. After the discount is completed, it will be 96,800 yuan. The purchase tax of is halved by 4,400 yuan, the in-store insurance is 4,500 yuan, and the registration is 200 yuan, and a total of 106,000 yuan can be obtained. If you choose to take a loan, it is not considered a loss if you control it to a total of less than 110,000 yuan.
Corolla is a very popular 100,000-level family sedan. It is like a handy tool, practical, but without any fancy additional attributes. When it comes to Toyota cars, people used to think of value retention rate and reliability, but now Toyota has added another new advantage, that is, its high safety configuration. The current Corolla series is equipped with 8 airbags standard, and is equipped with active brakes, adaptive high and low beams, L2-level driving assistance and other safety configurations. In contrast, the Sylphy next door has only 6 airbags in the entire series. The Lavida next door has L2 driving assistance functions only with the top configuration. The Corolla's approach to treating safety configuration equally is still heartwarming.
Many people say that the Corolla has low fuel consumption, but in fact this sentence only applies to the dual-engine version. According to the public test feedback from the current owners of nearly 6.8 million kilometers, the actual fuel consumption of 1.2T Corolla is 7.2 liters per kilometer, and the cost of using a car per kilometer is 57 cents per kilometer. The actual fuel consumption of 1.5-liter version is 7.08 liters per kilometer, and the cost of using a car per kilometer is 56 cents per kilometer. The actual fuel consumption of 1.8-liter dual-engine version is 4.52 liters per kilometer, and the cost of using a car per kilometer is 36 cents per kilometer. The dual-engine version of the Corolla is indeed fuel-efficient, and the more congested the urban road conditions, the more obvious the fuel advantage. However, the 1.2T and 1.5-liter three-cylinder versions are not as good as the Lavida and Sylphy next door. This setting of Toyota is actually not difficult to understand. If the fuel consumption of the 1.2T and 1.5-liter versions is also very low, how can we sell the dual-engine version?
Finally, let’s talk about the shortcomings of the Corolla. It is “magnificent” in terms of safety configuration, but the comfort configuration is “little and the house is barely walled”. Take the most popular 1.2T Pioneer Plus version as an example. The seats are fabric, the air conditioner is manual, the headlights are halogen, and the rear seats are not air conditioning outlets. When you sit in the car, there is no sunroof on top and no electric seats below. It’s as simple as a taxi in your city.
