"When buying a car, pay attention to the three not to buy. One is a dual-clutch engine, the other is a three-cylinder engine, and the third is a stock car." This is a sentence circulating on the Internet, which shows that consumers are concerned about dual-clutch, three-cylinder engines and stock cars. Many people have reached the point of "unfriendly" in terms of "unfriendly", especially for three-cylinder engines.
However, there are still many car companies who do not believe in evil, especially joint-venture brands, who always think that under the halo of joint ventures, they can cover up the innate jitter of three-cylinder engines, but in the end all of them end in "failure". And Toyota is still choosing to head into the three-cylinder market. Is the Toyota three-cylinder "top iron" or really fragrant?
On January 4th, FAW Toyota launched a new (2021) Corolla model, with a total of 1.5L three-cylinder, 1.2T four-cylinder, and 1.8L dual-engine powertrains. The original 1.8L fuel version will no longer be available , There are a total of 12 models in the whole series, and the price range is 10.98-15.98 million yuan.
Due to the arrival of the lower-positioned 1.5L three-cylinder engine, the entry price of Corolla has dropped from 111,800 yuan to 109,800 yuan. This is the first time Corolla has entered the range of less than 110,000 yuan, setting a new low price.
Toyota is also very "virtual" about this engine.
is the price first. The entry price of the 1.5L three-cylinder model has reached 109,800 yuan, which is 10,000 yuan lower than the entry price of the 2019 model.
However, Toyota still thinks carefully. The automatic transmission price of the 1.5L three-cylinder model is still 119,800 yuan, which is on par with the automatic transmission model of the 2019 1.2T model. Moreover, in order to let consumers more intuitively perceive that the 2021 1.5L three-cylinder engine is cheaper, Toyota will increase the 2021 1.2T entry-level model by 3000 yuan. It seems that Toyota has not given up its arrogance no matter how "virtually" it is. what.
is followed by discounts. For the newly arrived 1.5L three-cylinder engine, FAW Toyota has also given an additional discount. Before February 28, if you purchase a three-cylinder 1.5L Corolla, you will receive a 1,000 yuan fuel card, which is equivalent to a disguised discount of 1,000 yuan. We found on the professional automobile website that the dealer's reference price has been 6,000 yuan lower than the manufacturer's guide price, which shows that the actual transaction price of the terminal still has a certain discount.
is the model layout again. Before the , there were rumors that the 1.5L three-cylinder engine was coming to replace the 1.2T engine, but judging from the layout of the 2021 Corolla, the 1.2T model was not replaced, but sold in the same house. It is important to know that the 1.2T model is Corolla’s high-volume model. If the 1.2T is cancelled, it means that consumers have only 1.8L dual engine and 1.5L three-cylinder engines to choose from. This has a great impact on sales and further highlights Toyota’s The three-cylinder engine is not confident.
From the product point of view, the 1.5L three-cylinder engine is not bad. It has a maximum power of 121 horsepower and a peak torque of 148N·m. It is matched with a simulated 10-speed CVT gearbox. The thermal efficiency is as high as 40%. The fuel consumption of the automatic transmission is 5.1L/100km. Compared with the 1.2T model, the
has a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a peak torque of 185N·m. The code force has been improved, and the fuel consumption has also been reduced by 0.5L/100km. However, due to the naturally aspirated engine, the peak torque is greatly reduced by 37N·m, and the acceleration performance of the vehicle will also decrease.
For fuel-efficient consumers, double engines are too expensive to buy. The 1.5L three-cylinder engine can meet the needs of fuel-efficient, but it may be a bit different from the four-cylinder engine in terms of comfort. It depends on how consumers choose. In my opinion, most consumers will still choose four-cylinder models, after all, the price difference is really not much. Although the
1.5L three-cylinder engine model is positioned lower than the 1.2T and 1.8L dual engines, the basic configuration has not fallen. The official claims that the new car still retains the full LED headlights, including the dual-line LED daytime running light strips and other configurations, and there will be no significant shrinkage in the sense of technology. In the high-end models, such as the rear air conditioning outlet and the comfort configuration of the CN95 standard air conditioning filter element, there is no lack of comfort. At the same time, all new cars are equipped with the Toyota TSS Zhixing safety system as standard, which has a higher level of active and passive safety performance.
is written at the end: Toyota is making a bet to use a lower entry price, similar power, better fuel economy, non-shrinking configuration, TNGA, Corolla quality, and Toyota standard to compete with three-cylinder engines. Make a bet. If the consumer accepts it, then Toyota wins the bet. If it doesn't accept it, it means Toyota can't save the three-cylinder engine.
Do you think Toyota three-cylinder will work?
