My Years As a Car Dealer

Chapter 0148: Corolla or Rayling

Zhang Chen sat down next to Ling Zhenghao, Zhang Hu and the others did not dare to disturb them, and a group of people stood silently at the door of the VIP room.

"I'll introduce you to the Corolla first." Everything was ready. Before introducing, Zhang Chen specially emphasized to Ling Zhenghao that he recommended the dual-engine hybrid version of the Corolla, not the ordinary 1.2T turbocharged version.

Zhang Chen took out his mobile phone and put it on the glass coffee table in front of Ling Zhenghao, called up the stored model information of Sihai Motors, and pointed to a white A-class sedan to introduce:

The Corolla is a very, very mature model with a body length of 4630mm, a width of 1775mm and a height of 1485mm.

The wheelbase of 2700mm is currently quite satisfactory in the compact class.

However, I have to admire the designers of the Japanese car. Although the wheelbase is similar, the interior space of the Corolla is slightly larger than that of the same class of models, and the seat comfort and wrapping are also good, even if the car is not a car. The slender young lady is a few big men, so you don't have to worry about the situation where a man is placed on top of a man, and there are too many people who can't sit down.

In general, whether it is the dual-engine hybrid version of the Corolla or the 1.2T turbocharged ordinary version, in Zhang Chen's opinion, the use cost is low, the maintenance is not expensive, the leather is durable and worry-free, but the power is weak and the configuration is relatively Low, with little rear space.

There are no obvious advantages, no fatal flaws, let alone handling and directivity, just an ordinary family car.

And the 1.2T turbocharged ordinary version is not fuel-efficient. Under normal driving conditions, the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 10 liters.

The dual-engine hybrid version is very powerful, with an average fuel consumption of about 5 liters per 100 kilometers, saving nearly half of the fuel money.

Hearing that the fuel consumption of the Corolla dual-engine hybrid version is only 5 fuels, and the savings is a lot of money .

Especially Zhang Hu, who wants to buy a car and also consider the cost of car maintenance. He originally wanted to buy Wuling Hongguang, but now he is tempted by the Corolla dual-engine hybrid version, and listens more seriously to Zhang Chen's introduction.

After talking about the shortcomings, Zhang Chen complained most about the power output of the Corolla. When the accelerator was deeply stepped on, the torque of the 1.2T turbocharged ordinary version would suddenly increase due to the intervention of the turbo, resulting in power protection of the CVT gearbox. The transmission efficiency suddenly decreased, causing the gearbox to stumble.

"Well, the matching between the gearbox and the engine is not done well." Wang Keqiang, who was also standing at the door of the VIP room, nodded and agreed very much with what Zhang Chen said. "The 1.2T engine is not suitable for the Corolla's CVT gearbox."

"I know that the engine is divided into naturally aspirated engine and turbocharged engine. Which one is better?" The salesmen of the Four Seas Motor Co., Ltd. set up the gantry array leisurely. Ling Zhenghao just happened to be fine, and said a question that has always existed in his heart.

Zhang Hu and others were also curious about the questions raised by Ling Zhenghao, and they joined the discussion one after another.

"I heard that turbocharged models are more powerful, so it's better." In Wang Qi's eyes, a model with a flea-like appearance and strong power is his first choice. He really wants a turbocharged model. model.

"What do you know, turbochargers are easy to break and maintenance costs are high. Naturally aspirated engines are king." Hao Qiang glared at Wang Qi and shouted, his opinion was exactly the opposite of Wang Qi's.

"Don't talk, listen to Brother Zhang." Zhang Hu, who was listening intently to Zhang Chen's introduction, was very dissatisfied when he was interrupted by his colleagues. He stopped them loudly and told them to shut up and continue to listen to Zhang Chen's introduction honestly.

The colleagues quarreled. Zhang Chen, who had never had a chance to speak, smiled and explained to Ling Zhenghao: "In fact, gasoline engines include not only naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines, but also the supercharged engines equipped with Audi A8, and even the The twin-turbo engine in some Porsche models."

Zhang Chen has always been very patient with customers. Now he has nothing to do and takes the trouble to explain the difference and advantages and disadvantages of turbocharged and naturally aspirated to Ling Zhenghao.

Zhang Chen told everyone that small-displacement turbocharged models are now very popular, and there is a tendency to replace naturally aspirated engines in the publicity recommendations of various OEMs.

For example, some models of Highlander and Volkswagen have all been changed to turbocharged engines, completely abandoned the naturally aspirated engine, and after the replacement of the turbocharged engine, the enhanced power and excellent results give people a turbocharged engine. Compression engine is more powerful than naturally aspirated engine.

Especially the Highlander, there used to be a jingle called "downhill does not surpass the Camry, uphill does not follow the Highlander", it is said that the old highlander has weak power, and it is powerless to go uphill, so don't follow it uphill. behind the Highlander, otherwise it can't climb up and slide down, and the car behind it will be in trouble.

Of course, this jingling is an old calendar, especially after the Highlander was replaced with a 2.0T engine, the power lever went up, and now it is almost no problem to climb a steep **** of 45 degrees.

"Look, I said that the turbocharged engine is the first choice for buying a car. Naturally aspirated models are weak." Zhang Chen's words gave Wang Qi sufficient confidence. It looks so cool to win.

"You..." Hao Qiang's angry old Liang was red, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute Wang Qi, he could only stare at the violent ups and downs of his chest and did not speak.

The salesmen quarreled into a pot of porridge, and Ling Zheng Hao happily forgot about buying a car, and went to watch the fun.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault that I didn't explain clearly." Zhang Chen smiled and smoothed things out, "The dispute over whether a naturally aspirated engine or a turbocharged engine is better has actually existed for a long time..."

Zhang Chen told everyone that from a technical point of view, of course, turbocharged engines are advanced, but we cannot arbitrarily believe that turbocharged engines are better than naturally aspirated engines. We can only say that each has its own advantages and its own advantages. insufficient!

Whether it is naturally aspirated or turbocharged, its essence is a gasoline internal combustion engine, which uses fuel combustion to do work.

The original purpose of turbocharging is to obtain more power without changing the displacement.

Therefore, the difference between naturally aspirated and turbocharged is that the turbocharger added to the turbocharged engine can squeeze more air into the cylinder, increase the intake pressure, and use the exhaust gas of the engine to promote the turbocharger. Large intake air volume, so that more air under high pressure can participate in combustion with a smaller physical displacement, and finally achieve the goal of increasing the power output of the engine.

Compared with the naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines of the same displacement, the power of a turbocharged engine is generally increased by about 40%.

For example, the 1.5T turbocharged power performance is equivalent to the 2.2L naturally aspirated power, and the 1.8T turbocharged engine is equivalent to the power of the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine.

In terms of fuel consumption, compared with the naturally aspirated engine with the same dynamic performance, the fuel consumption of the turbocharged engine is between 10% and 20% lower.

For example, compared with the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, the 1.8T turbocharged engine often has lower fuel consumption, which is one of the reasons why major OEMs push turbocharging to attract consumers.

However, as the saying goes, Xiao He defeats Xiao He. The turbocharger uses the exhaust gas after the combustion of the engine to increase the power and reduce the fuel consumption. The high temperature of the engine exhaust also causes the temperature of the turbocharger itself to suddenly rise extremely high.

In order to protect the turbocharger, it is necessary to have a cooling system to cool down, which will undoubtedly increase the manufacturing cost, and requires high-grade oil to match, resulting in a higher price of turbocharged models and higher maintenance costs. Maintenance costs are higher and labor costs are higher.

Therefore, in terms of failure rate, in theory, the naturally aspirated engine is obviously lower.

Naturally aspirated engines have a long history of development. In comparison, they are not only mature in technology, stable, reliable, and low in maintenance costs, but also have obvious advantages in ride comfort and noise control.

Due to the high cylinder pressure of the turbocharged engine, it will have a certain impact on the life of the engine, and the noise will obviously be louder. If the manufacturer of the same model does not perform additional noise reduction treatment on the turbocharged engine, the NVH performance of the turbocharged engine will be compared. Difference.

The power output of the naturally aspirated engine is not as strong, but the power output curve is very linear, the power output is very smooth, the driving experience is very comfortable, and it is much stronger than the turbocharged engine.

In addition, when it comes to maintenance, the temperature of the turbocharged engine is higher, the failure rate is relatively large, and additional maintenance costs are added. The oil required is preferably fully synthetic oil, while the naturally aspirated engine requires relatively lower.

Don't underestimate the maintenance cost of oil. For some German models that burn oil, it is a lot of money.

Finally, Zhang Chen concluded that the advantages in emissions, power and fuel consumption are the reasons why major OEMs push turbocharged engines.

However, the advantages of naturally aspirated engines in terms of fuel economy and maintenance are obvious. For consumers who pay more attention to economy, they are undoubtedly more attractive and have many supporters.

In general, turbocharging is still unable to completely replace naturally aspirated engines. Different engines have their own tendentious designs. It is impossible to simply say which one is better. You should choose rationally according to your own needs.

"Only an engine that suits your needs is the best." Ling Zhenghao repeated Zhang Chen's words like muttering to himself, and the doubts that had been in his mind for a long time were successfully resolved. He wanted to buy a car and rent it to his classmates to run DiDi. Of course, it needs to be fuel-efficient and durable. I feel that the Corolla dual-engine E+ recommended by Zhang Chen is very reliable, and he thinks that Zhang Chen is a genuine and enthusiastic person. It is impossible to buy a car from him.

After introducing the difference between turbocharged and naturally aspirated, Zhang Chen went on to talk about the recommended Corolla.

The 1.2T version of Corolla's gearbox and engine are not well matched, but the hybrid dual-engine version does not have this problem. The overall driving experience has been improved a lot, and there will be no problems with gearbox setback and power output protection. And it is very fuel-efficient. It can even run a thousand kilometers with full fuel and full power. If the driving skills are superb, the road conditions are still very good, and the average fuel consumption can be reduced to about 4 liters.

"4 liters?"

Only 4 liters of gasoline is needed for 100 kilometers, so evil spirits, Ling Zhenghao thought about the cost of running Didi per kilometer, and finally smiled excitedly. He was sure that as long as there were customers in the car, it was like stealing money.

"Brother Zhang, how can you save so much fuel?" Zhang Hu also thought about the Corolla dual-engine hybrid, and curiously asked Zhang Chen for the details of the battery.

Zhang Chen picked up the mobile phone in front of Ling Zhenghao, pointed to some information searched on the Internet and told everyone that the battery of the Corolla dual-engine hybrid version was from Panasonic, with a battery capacity of 10.5kW·h.

It can be fully charged within 3 hours using a high-efficiency charger. It can be charged by using the 220V charging cable on the vehicle and connecting to a general household socket. There is no need to use a dedicated charging pile like Tesla. It is very worry-free, very convenient, and has almost no maintenance costs. .

In order to provide users with peace of mind, Toyota has also proposed a "Worry-Free Battery Plan". On the basis of the 8-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty, the battery also has a free extended warranty of unlimited years and unlimited mileage. In addition, the motor control unit, The motor is guaranteed for 8 years or 200,000 kilometers.

What's even more awesome is that Toyota's "Worry-free battery plan" is still valid for resale vehicles, that is, used cars. It can improve the vehicle's value preservation rate, and there is no need to worry about the price of the car being cut in half when selling the car.

When it comes to the retention rate, Corolla's retention rate has always been very strong, which is really amazing.

For example, the Corolla, which was licensed in 2004, can also be sold for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. You must know that this car is nearly 14 or 5 years old, and the average depreciation per year is less than 5,000.

Five thousand, almost all Corollas on the market have been through several hands, but after being "ravaged" by several owners, it can still be so durable and the price is firm, I really want to say Toyota's Durability is not a blow. (PS: To emphasize, I am very patriotic, but the fact is that the three-year value retention rate of some domestic models is almost lower than that of Japanese cars, German cars, and of course higher than Zhang Chen's Jaguar.)

Therefore, just such a Corolla model can do 500,000 kilometers without repairs, but it can still drive normally and grab a lot. At this moment, it seems that I really understand why this Japanese brand is called "unbreakable." Toyota".

This is why Zhang Chen recommends the Corolla dual-engine hybrid version instead of the regular gasoline version.

After listening to Zhang Chen's introduction to the comparison between the Corolla dual-engine hybrid version and the normal gasoline version, Ling Zhenghao understood that the Corolla dual-engine hybrid version is fuel-efficient and durable, and it is indeed a relatively good choice.

"Brother Zhang~www.readwn.com~ I heard that Lei Ling and Corolla are the same car, right?" Hao Qiang asked curiously.

"The Corolla and the Lei Ling are not the same car, they can only be said to be brother models, just like the difference between the Spire and the Accord, the Sima and the Teana, the Magotan and the Passat." Zhang Chen found that the customer Ling Zhenghao was also very interested. Anyway, it's all right now. , to give you a detailed introduction.

Corolla and Ralink are produced by FAW and GAC respectively in China. In order not to cause their own products to compete for customers, they have adopted differentiated design.

As the most successful sedan in the world, Corolla has the best sales volume. Corolla has achieved sales of 44 million. Since the tenth generation entered the country, it has already had a very good reputation in China, giving the impression to the Chinese people that Very leathery and durable, it is an economical family car.

Compared with the European version, the domestic version of the new Corolla is much more stable, much like a small Camry. The overall design is dominated by straight lines, which looks simple and elegant, especially the large-area horizontal grille that sinks in the front face. The chrome strip at the rear of the car echoes each other, making the whole car very textured and relatively large and thick. It is more refined, with a stronger sense of fashion and luxury. It is still positioned as a mature route. In comparison, it is more suitable for home users to choose Corolla.

The shape of Lei Ling is closer to the Corolla released in the Bald Eagle Country before, and its appearance is much more radical than that of the Corolla. In the position of the air intake grille, Lei Ling uses a honeycomb type, and the shape of the lamp group is relatively more aggressive. One point, although the design of the two lamps is one-piece, there is still a difference between Ralink and Corolla. Corolla uses chrome strips and black decorations to connect the lights together, while Ralink uses a penetrating honeycomb type to connect the lights together. The air grilles are connected together.
