The two protagonists are the 2023 Volkswagen LaVida 280TSI dual-clutch and two-drive eternal edition with a guide price of 654.38+050.9 thousand yuan and the 2026.5438+0 Toyota Corolla 65.438+0.2T S-CVT deluxe edition with a guide price of 654.38+035.8 thousand yuan. ?
Appearance contrast: the new LaVida is steady and atmospheric/Corolla is dynamic and sharp.
The new LaVida is still based on simple and capable design, which continues the image of German cars with a stable atmosphere. The front face adopts a large number of chrome-plated designs, and the grille extends to both sides to connect with the headlights, showing a good visual width. The triangular air guides on both sides of the front bumper are sharp in shape, which changes the monotonous feeling in the past and makes the new car show full dynamic effect.
The rear of the car depicts a rich and full three-dimensional shape through simple lines. The LED stereo taillights are blackened, and the visual effects are very brilliant whether they are lit or not. The lower bumper is embedded with horizontally extending chrome trim strips, which has a rich sense of design and adds a sense of advanced to the overall design.
The appearance of Corolla inherits Toyota's brand-new family-style design language, and the overall shape is quite dynamic. Sharp headlight lines complement the front grille with the shape of "big mouth", and C-shaped decorative strips on both sides serve as embellishments, which stretch the width of the front face of the car and add a touch of advanced atmosphere while being dynamic.
The rear of the car is still a dynamic and sharp design style with a good three-dimensional effect. Chrome-plated decorative strips run through the taillights, which has a sense of integrity, which is also the family-style design of Toyota today. Although the whole Corolla has a good sense of design, compared with the new LaVida, it lacks design features that make young consumers shine at the moment.
In terms of headlights, the new LaVida headlights are exquisite and simple in structure, and the LED daytime running lights are flat and slender, which is very eye-catching. Not only that, the new LaVida's far and near lights are composed of LEDs, which can fully illuminate under various road conditions, while Corolla is the most common halogen lamp, so for friends who often walk at night, the former can provide a safer driving environment at night.
The new LaVida adopts 65,438+07-inch wheels, the tire model is Maxis PREMITRA 5 series, and the tire size is 225/45r65,438+07. The Corolla rim is one inch smaller, which is 16 inch. The tire model is Han Tai Kinetic EX series, and the specification is 205/55 R 16. Comparatively speaking, the former not only has larger rim size and more exquisite shape, but also tyre size is higher than the latter. ?
Interior contrast: The materials of the new LaVida are excellent, and the materials used for the eye-catching floating screen/Corolla are conservative in design.
Compared with the appearance, the interior of the new LaVida has undergone earth-shaking changes. The entire center console area has been completely redesigned, with 10.25-inch LCD instrument and 12-inch floating central control touch screen impressively listed, which is particularly eye-catching. The center console is made of soft plastic enamel, and decorated with leather, stitching and electroplating, extending to the door, which strengthens the overall coherence of the interior and has leapfrog performance in vision and touch.
Corolla's interior has returned to Toyota's pragmatic design style. The atmosphere of the center console is simple, the layering is very prominent, and the design layout is relatively reasonable, each with its own advantages. The interior materials are mainly hard plastic, which is slightly monotonous and feels very general. The 7.5-inch LCD instrument is obviously different from the new LaVida. The vertical central control panel of 12. 1 inch is very abrupt, which destroys the heel feeling of the interior.
Both cars are three-spoke multi-function steering wheels. The brand-new LaVida adopts a brand-new family-style leather steering wheel, which is not only more pleasing in shape, but also excellent in grip. Corolla's steering wheel has a slightly simpler shape and a thinner ring, so the former has better performance in design and feel.
The new LaVida in-car dual screen not only has obvious hardware advantages, but also has built-in Volkswagen's latest MOS 3. X smart car coupling system is more intelligent and practical than Corolla. The UI interface layout of the system is simple and clear, just like a horizontal smart tablet. The common functions of vehicles are placed in the main interface of the system, so it is not difficult for users to get started. Compared with Corolla, it can also use wireless Carplay to meet the daily needs of users.
In addition, the system also includes four highlights, including scene-based intelligent online navigation, intelligent online service, car applet and go on road travel guidebook. Among them, the newly equipped online intelligent maps include: food map, night map and travel map, which can switch different theme scenes, not only display different types of content, but also deeply integrate with emotional voice assistants to provide users with more convenient navigation functions.
In terms of seats, the new LaVida seats adopt two-color leather seats, and Corolla adopts different styles of leather seats. However, the actual experience shows that the length of the front and rear cushions and the softness of the padding of the new LaVida can better support the back and legs, so the riding experience is better, and it is also equipped with the main driving electric adjustment and front seat heating, while Corolla does not have these functions.
In terms of seating space, the experiencer with a height of 183cm sits in the front row and the seat is adjusted to the lowest. The head space of the new LaVida is 1 fist +2 fingers, and the head space of Corolla is 4 fingers. The front head space of the former is better than that of the latter. ?
When I came to the back row, the head space of the new LaVida was 1 fist +2 fingers, the leg space was more than 2 fists, the head space was 4 fingers, and the leg space was 1 fist +2 fingers. The head and leg space in the back row is also new LaVida, which is better than Corolla.
