AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/11 Report--
As China has become the world's largest auto market, it has gradually been paid attention to by more auto companies. In order to meet the demand of domestic consumers for larger space models, Toyota has previously reported that it will launch "China Special Long-axis Corolla", and according to the latest news, the "Special Vehicle" model is ready for production.
According to the latest news exposed, FAW Toyota launched a new model for China's A+-class car segment market, the internal code is expected to be previously exposed 87*B project, and according to the plan, the model will be affected by the epidemic situation and market adjustment, will be 11 months ahead of schedule, is expected to be put into production in 2021 in 2021.
As a Chinese extended special model, the most significant change of the code 87*B model is the change in size. According to the size of the current Toyota Corolla, the size of the model is 4635/1780/1455mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm. And there is news that the special model will be 100mm longer based on the current model, when its length will reach 4735mm, positioned between the Corolla and the Asian Dragon, that is, will be close to Honda's special model Lingpai and special version of the Sagitar.
At the same time, there is also news that Toyota will launch a 1.5L three-cylinder engine, if it is not impossible to make up for the cost of the engine through the lower cost of the engine. However, from the model positioning point of view, it is expected that the price of the Carola long-wheelbase version will rise by about 20,000 yuan, compared with the guidance price of 119,800 - 159,800 yuan for the current Carola, which means that it will be about 130,000 yuan, slightly higher than Honda Lingpai and Volkswagen Sagitar of the same level.
With the increasing number of domestic models, many brands have refined the most competitive compact market again, defining A-class, A-class and A+ compact cars. Perhaps the long-axis version of the Corolla is just Toyota for domestic consumers to add more options, after all, in the face of price impact or a lot.
In fact, for special models, such as Honda's Lingpai, Volkswagen's Lavida and Sagitar, the performance in China is good, all in line with the characteristics of Chinese users like large space, but also can be close to the price of A-class cars, so Toyota has such an idea is also understandable, only for the long-axis version of the market performance of the Corolla needs to be given to the price positioning can be known.
However, the biggest problem for the special supply model is the safety problem, after all, with the current domestic automobile market experience in the research and development test under the special supply model without exception have obtained good results, and Toyota brand as the domestic insurance research relatively good results of the model, I do not know whether the long-axis version of the Corolla again experience in the research and development test can be so prominent.
With FAW Toyota on the brand-new code 87*B car news released six times, indicating that the car listing progress is also significantly accelerated. At the same time, it also means that Toyota brand continues to expand the layout of the Chinese market through long-axis models and dual strategies to help expand its market share in China.
