The new car "Corolla Cross" introduced by Toyota in the fierce SUV market is attracting much attention.The model, which appeared as a SUV version of the company's long -selling "Corolla" series, is a domestic version of a model that has been pre -sold overseas since 2020.Level 26.The fuel efficiency of 2km/L is a topic.
Speaking of the rival car, Honda is probably the "Vesel" released in April 2021.The second generation of the model, which can be said to be a leading actor who has established a compact SUV genre, is the excellent fuel efficiency performance by adopting the unique two -motor hybrid system "E: HEV", and the size and usability of the car that can also be called a classop -class.Good is popular.
Here, by comparing the characteristics of these two models, we will examine the productivity and superiority of each.
As mentioned above, the Corolla Cross is a SUV version of the Corolla Series, a long -selling Corolla Series, which is the source of the first sedan -type Corolla released in 1966 and celebrates its 55th anniversary in 2021.
現行モデルのカローラツーリング(写真:トヨタ自動車)The series, which has a lineup of various body types in line with the times and user needs, released the hatchback "Corolla Sports" in 2018 in the 12th generation current model.In 2019, the 4 -door sedan "Corolla" and the station wagon "Corolla Touring" will be added.In addition, the Corolla Axio, a sedan type based on the predecessor model, and the station wagon "Corolla Fielder" will be continuously sold.In addition, the 12th generation was largely large to 3 numbers, but the Axio and Fielder based on the predecessor model continue to have a 5 number size.
カローラクロスのスタイリング(写真:トヨタ自動車)Following the conventional hatchback, sedan, and wagon, the Corolla Cross, which introduces a world -renowned SUV style as the fourth body type of the current Corolla. The Toyota domestic SUV lineup includes a large lineup such as a large "Land Cruiser" series, a middle -sized "Harrier" and "RAV4", and a compact vehicle "Yaris Cross" and "Rise". The further Corolla Cross is a vehicle that fills the middle and compact. There is a "C-HR" in the same size, but the number of new cars in recent years is not very good, as the years have passed since the 2016 debut. In addition, the C-HR is a model with strong urban specialty cars, but the need for higher practicality, such as the style that matches the recent outdoor boom and the loading of luggage, has increased. The model that matches the needs of such an era is Corolla Cross.
新型ヴェゼルのスタイリング(写真:本田技研工業)On the other hand, the first model appeared in 2013.The model, which is still a pioneer in compact SUVs, is a huge hit that sets a number of brilliant records, including the cumulative sales volume of about 450,000 units and the number of new SUVs sold in the past 4 degrees.It is a model.
The successor model, which is the first model, has been performing a full model change for the first time in about eight years.While inheriting the coupe -like style from the predecessor, it improves indoor livability and ease of use.It is a model that pursues high fuel efficiency, such as preparing a hybrid car equipped with a unique two -motor hybrid system "E: HEV".
カローラクロスの走行イメージ(写真:トヨタ自動車)Corolla Cross is characterized by a dynamic appearance like SUV.The upper part of the body has a gentle design on the glass surface and front and rear lamps, and adopts a wide body line with a front and rear fender portion.The front face is particularly impressive, and adopts a unique Toyota "Keine Luck" equipped with a large grill at the bottom of the bumper, creating a powerful form.
Overseas specifications released in Thailand, Taiwan, North America, etc. in Thailand, Thailand, etc., are equipped with even larger ones in Thailand, Taiwan, North America, etc., and have a more wild impression that suits the outdoors.On the other hand, the Japanese specifications are also taken into account of the urban seasoning by making the face close to the other Corolla series.In addition, while the front emblem has an overseas specification of the "Toyota" mark, the Japanese specification is the "C" mark that symbolizes the Corolla brand, and the headlights are also used in Japan.
ヴェゼルe:HEV Z(FF)アーバンスタイルの外観(写真:本田技研工業)On the other hand, the bezel adopts a more sophisticated appearance design by giving it a flowing and coupe form.In addition, the "Srie & Long Cabin (such as a smooth and long -riding space)", which is conscious of the modeling of the interior that creates exhilarating visibility in all seats, is adopted.The face design gives a smart and unique expression with a front grille that enhances the sense of unity with the body by making the same color as the exterior color and the exterior color, and a more sharp headlight shape.ing.In addition, the side portion of the body is a smart image by incorporating a horizontal design from the headlights to the rear combination lamp, and the angle of the rear gate is laid down.
カローラクロスのサイドビュー(写真:トヨタ自動車)In the exterior design, the Vesel uses more urban and smart designs for the rather wild image of Corolla Cross.These differences in design are where the user's preference is known, but I personally think that Corolla Cross is the stronger outdoor taste that has been a boom in recent years.In addition to the appearance of the room described later, such as the size and loadability of the room described later, the model is a match for the needs of "outside play" such as nights and camping.
ヴェゼルのサイドビュー(写真:本田技研工業)By the way, the body size of both cars is 4490mm in length x 1825m in width x 1620mm in height.The Vezel, on the other hand, has a total length of 4330mm x 1790mm in width x 1580-1590mm in height.Even with the same compact car, Corolla Cross belongs to C segments in a slightly larger category, Europe, etc., whereas the Vezel belongs to a smaller B segment.If you think so, there is a view that the direct rivals of Vezel are the same segments, "Yaris Cross."However, the spear cross does not match the residence of Vesel.This is also because Corolla Cross and Vesel are competing.
Anyway, Corolla Cross is larger in terms of car, and the wheelbase is 2640mm, longer than the 2610mm beeel.However, in the minimum rotation radius, Corolla Cross is 5.While 2m, Vezel is 5.3-5.5m.Although it is a catalog numerical difference, it is certain that Corolla Cross can be quite small in narrow alleys and parking lots in urban areas.One of the advantages of the model is that it is easy to use everyday.
Corolla Cross and Vezel are all available in hybrid vehicles and gasoline vehicles.First, Corolla Cross is 1.Set a gasoline car equipped with a 8 -liter in -line 4 -cylinder engine and a hybrid car that combines the engine with a motor.The drive system is 2WD (FF) and electric 4WD (e-Four), and there is no 4WD in gasoline vehicles.The lineup includes three grades for both 2WD and 4WD (G, S, Z) for both 2WD and 4WD, and all four grades, including entry grades (G "X") for gasoline vehicles.
ヴェゼルのe:HEV+リアルタイムAWDのシャーシイメージ図(写真:本田技研工業)On the other hand, the powertrain of the bezel is 1.Set a 5 -liter inline 4 -cylinder engine gasoline car and a hybrid car that combines the same engine with a motor.The drive system has 2WD and 4WD (excluding some grades) for both gasoline and hybrids.The center of the lineup is a hybrid car, with a total of 3 grades (E: HEV X, E: HEV Z, E: HEV Play).The gasoline car was set only for one grade (G) for the five grades of the predecessor.
Both vehicles are not only different in the displacement of the engine to be installed, but also in the hybrid system, especially.Corolla Cross's hybrid vehicles adopt a series parallel.When starting or running at low speed, the engine is stopped, the electric motor only runs, and the vehicle speed rises, and when traveling normally, the engine is mainly used.In addition, it is a system that assists the engine as needed when the accelerator is strongly stepped on, such as when accelerating rapid acceleration, or when driving on a highway.
Vezel, on the other hand, adopts a unique "E: HEV" system equipped with two types of motors, such as driving and charging.When starting or at low -speed driving in urban areas, the engine is stopped and an EV driving is performed only with the motor.In addition, when the speed rises, the engine generates power, drives with a driving motor while supplying more power, and switches to hybrid mode for power generation when accelerating.Furthermore, in the area of the engine specialty, such as at high -speed cruise, the engine mode that uses only the engine is used.
カローラクロスのハイブリッドシステムイメージ図(写真:トヨタ自動車)Hybrid vehicles of both models are all high fuel efficiency, but Corolla Cross is slightly better.In the fuel economy of WLTC mode comprehensive, Corolla Cross is 2WD 26.2km/L, 4WD car 24.2km/l.Vezel for 2WD cars 24.8 to 25.0km/L, 4WD car 22.0km/l.These differences are actually different depending on the driving status, etc., for the comparison of catalog numerical numbers.There will be no overwhelming difference between both cars in actual fuel efficiency.
However, the Corolla Cross is larger, and the vehicle weight is 1380-1510 kg for hybrid vehicles, which is heavier than 1350-1400 kg of Vezel E: HEV vehicles.The difference is up to 100kg or more.Nevertheless, the fuel efficiency is equal or more than the bezel, which is truly Toyota.It is certain that Toyota's hybrid technology, which has been aged for many years since the first Prius in 1997, has a long day.
ヴェゼルの1.5Lエンジン(写真:本田技研工業)In the fuel economy of gasoline vehicles, Corolla Cross is 14 in WLTC mode..While 4km/l, 15.6-17.The bezel that demonstrates 0km/L is better.The difference in vehicle weight in gasoline cars is not as high as hybrid vehicles, but Corolla crosses 1330 to 1350 kg, while the bezel is 1250 to 1330 kg.About 20-80 kg is lighter, but in addition, 1 of the Vesel.The fuel efficiency of the 5L engine itself may be quite good.
However, Corolla Cross's engine has a displacement of 1..8L.Large than a bezel gasoline car, the power is maximum output 140ps/maximum torque 17.Demonstrate 3kgf-m.118ps/14.Compared to the 5kgf-M Vezel, you can see that you can afford it.Although the difference is not so much during low and medium -speed driving in urban areas, it can be said that it can run more comfortably on mountain roads and highways.
カローラクロスのインテリア(写真:トヨタ自動車)The interior of the Corolla Cross is characterized by providing a spacious space with a spacious view while ensuring a high view of SUV.No matter which seat you sit in, you will realize the comfort of various scenes from town riding to long drive.In addition, by adopting a continuous design from the instrument panel to the door trim, it creates a wide room space.The front seat is equipped with a sporty sheet that combines a slim back and high hold properties (standard equipment on all vehicles except the G "X" grade).In addition, all LEDs are adopted for indoor lighting, and high -quality and sophisticated textures are taken into a casual atmosphere.
ヴェゼルe:HEV プレイのインテリア(写真:本田技研工業)On the other hand, the interior of the bezel expresses the strength of the SUV as an overall impression by emphasizing a solid form with a solid core.In addition, a space that is close to the body is designed with a soft touch and a pad with a shape, and a space that combines strength and tenderness is designed.
In the driver's seat, the meter and display audio are laid out in a place where the visibility is easy to see during operation.Switches are placed in a position where you can reach naturally without breaking the seating posture, enabling stress -free and smooth operation that does not cut off the gaze and movement flow.In addition, the view from the driver's seat is that the Pillar is sleeping because the Pillar is sleeping, so it feels a little narrower than the bezel.With a sense of openness, the bezel is better.However, the ease of viewing forward is equivalent because both cars have high eye points and the pillars are narrow.
カローラクロスの車内空間(写真:トヨタ自動車)The interior size of both models is 1805mm in length x 1505mm wide x 1265mm high.The Vezel, on the other hand, is 2010mm x 1445mm wide x 1225 to 1240mm in height.The car is large, and in the width and height, Corolla Cross can afford it, but the length is better.This is the effect of adopting a unique "center tank layout" for the Vezel body.This method, which is also adopted in "Fit" and "N-BOX", is Honda, which realizes the size of the inside of the car and the luggage compartment by installing the fuel tank under the front floor instead of the general back of the vehicle body.Patent technology.
The second generation Vezel has extended the foot space of 35mm, which has a reputation in the predecessor.As a result, the sitting comfort of the rear seats is wider and more comfortable than the same size "Yaris Cross" and "Kick".However, the Corolla Cross is still large, as mentioned above, has a width and height, and it will be higher in the open feeling when sitting.In addition, the rear seats of the Corolla Cross have a two -stage reclining mechanism, but not in the bezel.When sitting in the rear seats, you can take a more relaxed posture, but the Corolla Cross will go up.
In the size of the luggage compartment, the Corolla Cross secures a large capacity of 487L at the time of 5 people.In addition, the 6: 4 -divided rear seat can be loaded with one or two people in the rear seat by defeating the backrest only on the left or right side.Furthermore, if you defeat all left and right backrings forward, it will be a large luggage space with 1885mm depth, and you can load large luggage.
ヴェゼルのラゲージスペース(写真:本田技研工業)The luggage capacity of the bezel, on the other hand, is private, but also boasts a class top level.The same is true for a 6: 4 division type in the rear seats, and by turning one or other backrest forward, a long thing can be loaded with a person in the rear seat.
However, if all the backrests in the rear seat are defeated forward, there is an advantage in the bezel that can create a completely flat space.Corolla crossloses can be completely flat, even in the same state, with a thickness of the seat and the backrest with a thickness of less than 400 mm.In addition, the bezel can secure a length of about 1900 mm in length if the backrest of the front seat is turned forward, so it is possible for two adults to stay in the car.
ヴェゼルの荷室空間イメージ図(写真:本田技研工業)These differences between both cars contribute to Honda's patented technology and center tank layout.By placing the fuel tank under the front seat, the floor height after the rear seat can be lowered.This creates a space to move the back of the rear seat down to the back of the back seat, and as a result, the luggage compartment can be flattened.
Corolla Cross can use the optional luggage active box, which is scheduled to be released in December 2021, so that the luggage compartment is flat, and adults can relax.Although the price is affordable at 28,050 yen, it can be said that a bezel that can flatten the luggage compartment in all grades without having to buy an option is more reasonable.In addition, the bezel also has a "chip -up function" that can raise the seating surface of the rear seat to the back side, and is tall, such as potted planting, and can be used to load luggage that cannot be done.With the abundance of seat arrangements, it can be said that Vesel is one better.
By the way, both models also have a function that opens the tail gate automatically if you carry a smart key under the rear bumper (the bezel is standard equipment on hybrid vehicles except E: HEV X, Corolla Cross.Is standard equipment for advanced grade Z, option to S).In addition to opening the tailgate even with luggage in both hands, both have a reservation function that automatically closes the gate by leaving the vehicle.
カローラクロスのパノラマルーフ(写真:トヨタ自動車)Both models are also characterized by a good useful equipment for comforting the room comfortably.First of all, a glass roof "Panora Maloehu", which creates a sense of open cars by making a part of the roof glass.In Corolla Cross, a large type of integrated type that spreads from the front seat to the rear seat is set to the Z / S grade.In addition, since the electric sunshade is also equipped, opening and closing for sunshine control can be easier.The Vezel, which is also equipped with the name "panoramarhu", is also set as standard for hybrid specifications E: HEV play.The front and rear seats are used for the upper roof of the upper part of the upper part, and the sunshade is a detachable type.
For glass roofs, the tastes are determined by the two -divided form of the Corolla Cross and the Vezel, but there is no doubt that both are highly open.However, it is necessary to put the bezel sunshade in the luggage compartment when removing it, and it must be installed manually.In that regard, the Corolla Cross, which opens and closes by electric, is more convenient.
ヴェゼルのパノラマルーフイメージ図(写真:本田技研工業)Both models also have high indoor utilities.Both Corolla Cross and Vesel are equipped with a cup holder that can be used in center consoles, rear center armrests, front and rear door pockets.There are plenty of storage space where accessories can be put in, such as glove boxes, center console boxes, passenger seat seat back pockets, etc.
In addition, USB terminals that can be charged such as smartphones are also equipped on the rear or internal (different grade) of the center console box.In Vezel, it will be installed in a total of four places, two places in the front and rear seats.In addition, for each model, a wireless charger that can be charged just by placing a smartphone in the front console tray is available.Corolla Cross is optional for advanced grade Z, Vezel is standard equipment for E: HEV play, and other grades are set optionally.
カローラクロスのアクセサリーコンセント(写真:トヨタ自動車)In this way, both vehicles are highly practical, but the special note in Corolla Cross is the "accessory outlet (AC100V / 1500W)" and "emergency power supply mode", which are optional for hybrid vehicles. These are useful equipment such as power outages, and if you set the "emergency power supply mode" when parking a vehicle, you can use home appliances such as electric pots and dryers. Vezel has no such features, and Corolla Closs has a high sense of security that can be relying on things. By the way, in recent years, Toyota has adopted many hybrid vehicles with similar functions that use in -vehicle batteries as emergency power sources. The proposal of new added value for hybrid vehicles, such as "preparing for disasters," is a major feature of Toyota hybrid vehicles, not just Corolla Cross.
In addition, both models have the latest safety equipment.The Corolla Cross has "TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE", and "Honda Sensing" is standard equipment on all vehicles.In each case, the new car is now "naturally installed", such as a collision damage reduction brake, a pedal accidental acceleration suppression device, a function that supports the steering operation so that the lane is not protruded on a highway, etc.It is full of many advanced equipment that is not an exaggeration.In addition, the safety equipment of both cars is almost equal, even in the operation support at the time of parking, the navigation monitor has a function to reflect a video that looks like a vehicle from above.
カローラクロスの9インチディスプレイオーディオ(写真:トヨタ自動車)In addition, both models are also set for both models that can be connected wirelessly with smartphones.In each case, it is possible to use the functions of smartphone apps, such as telephone, message, music and videos, and navigation.For the latest connected function, it is equipped with a function to remotely control the door lock using a smartphone, and a function to search for your own car in a large parking lot.In addition, the same is true of various services, such as automatically updating the map of navigation, and the function of operators in an emergency and arranging emergency vehicles in an emergency.)
In this way, the equipment of both cars is quite competitive, but what about the price?Corolla Cross costs 2.59 million yen to 3.19 million yen for hybrid vehicles, and gasoline cars cost 1,999,000 yen to 2.64 million yen.Vezel's tax -included price is 2,658,700 yen to 3,298,900 yen for hybrid vehicles, and gasoline cars cost 2,279,200 yen to 2,499,200 yen.
In recent years, many models have a higher sales ratio of hybrid vehicles than gasoline vehicles. The same is true for Corolla Cross and Vezel. According to a certain store in Toyota, as of early October, the ratio of hybrid vehicles is about 70 % during the total number of Corolla crosslos. According to a certain dealer in Honda, about 90 % of orders are hybrid vehicles. Among them, the most selling of the bezel is the 2WD car of the hybrid intermediate grade "E: HEV Z", which is 2,89,500 yen including tax. Comparing the same intermediate grade with Corolla Cross, the hybrid "HYBRID S" 2WD car is 2.75 million yen including tax, nearly 150,000 yen. In addition, even in the high -class advanced grade of the hybrid, the "E: HEV play" (2WD only) is 3,298,900 yen, whereas the Corolla Clos is 2WD of "HYBRID Z" 2.99 million yen, which is more than 300,000 yen. There is a price difference.
In this way, Corolla Cross is a similar grade price, even though the car is larger than the bezel.However, as mentioned above, Corolla Cross has many optional equipment, such as a luggage active box that can flatten the luggage compartment and a panora maru.On the other hand, there are many functions that are standard equipment for all vehicles or grades in the Vezel, so it will not be possible to compare which is more advantageous with the vehicle price of each car simply.
カローラクロスの走行イメージ(写真:トヨタ自動車)For example, in the case of Corolla Cross, the panora maru that the above and the hands -free power backdoor that can open the rear gate without using hands are all optional for Z and S, and the tax -included price is 110,000.Circle.If both are equipped, it will be 220,000 yen in total.On the other hand, in the bezel, Panora Maluh can only install E: HEV play, but standard equipment (no other grade is set), and hands -free rear gates are also equipped as standard for E: HEV Z and E: HEV play.If you think so, if you add an option, the price difference with the bezel will be surprisingly small, and the price will not change much depending on the equipment.
However, if there is not much difference in the total purchase amount, there is a possibility that users will flow to Corolla Cross, which have high practicality, such as indoors and luggage compartments.In addition, the brand power of belonging to the "Corolla" series, which boasts a history and reliability, will be a major appeal point.
ヴェゼルの走行イメージ(写真:本田技研工業)According to the number of new registered vehicles sold by the Japan Automobile Sales Association Federation, the current Vesel will always keep the top 10th place in the period from the release in April 2021 to September of the same year.It sells 29,346 units (an average of 4891 per month) per month.Although it is not as the momentum as the predecessor model, it is certain that it has been steadily increasing sales.In the future, the appearance of Corolla Cross will pay attention to what will affect Vesel's sales.
According to SNS, orders for Corolla Cross have started around the end of August, and there are quite a few users who have already ordered orders.However, the delivery date will be ordered at the end of September 4 to 6 months, and the registration will be at least after January 2022.Some users say that the delivery date of hybrid vehicles is long, and orders have already been ordered but the delivery date has not been decided.Large delivery due to a shortage of parts due to the expansion of colonavirus in Southeast Asia.I'm also worried about how this affects the newly released Corolla Cross.However, the delay of delivery is the same for the same, so the conditions are almost five minutes.In any case, the fierce share battle in the SUV market will only continue for a while.
