As a compact SUV, the Corolla Levin has gained some attention in the market, but it also has some serious drawbacks. The following is a summary of the most serious shortcomings of the Corolla Cruiser:
1. The power performance is average: in an environment of 30 degrees Celsius, the Corolla RAV4 takes 10 to 6 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers per hour, which is not outstanding. The performance of its engine in the medium speed range is not strong enough to meet the high power requirements of drivers. In daily driving, if a high power request is needed, the engine needs to reach a high RPM to meet the demand.
2. High interior odor and poor sound insulation effect: Some users have reported that the interior of the Corolla Levin has odor problems and the sound insulation effect is not ideal. Engine noise, wind noise, and tire noise are more pronounced during driving, affecting the comfort of driving and riding.
3. Limited space: Compared with other models in the same class, the rear space of the Corolla Levin is not advantageous. For taller passengers, a shorter seat cushion length and insufficient legroom may affect the comfort of the ride.
4. The interior design is mediocre: The interior design of the Corolla Levin is similar to that of the Corolla and Corolla Levin, lacking novelty and difficult to coordinate with its dynamic exterior design. This to some extent affects the overall texture of the vehicle.
5. The level of configuration needs to be improved: only high-end models are equipped with advanced features such as LCD instrument panels and leather steering wheels, while mid to low end models appear more rudimentary. This may lead to some consumers feeling dissatisfied when making a purchase.
6. The performance of the central control screen is average: starting from the second highest configuration models, it is only equipped with a 9-inch screen, and the overall visual effect and performance are not superior to competitors. This has to some extent affected the sense of technology and practicality inside the car.
7. Doubts about safety performance: According to the collision test results of China Insurance Research Institute, the Corolla Rui performs poorly in front 25% offset collisions and front 50% offset collisions on the passenger side. Although the airbag deployed in a timely manner, it failed to protect the passengers well, and the co pilot's head may even directly hit the center console. This result has raised concerns among consumers about the safety performance of the Corolla Levin.
8. Small discount margin: Compared with other models in the same class on the market, the discount margin of Corolla Levin is relatively small, which may lead some consumers to choose other more cost-effective models when buying a car.
The Corolla Rui has serious shortcomings in terms of power performance, interior odor and sound insulation effect, space, interior design, configuration level, center console screen performance, and safety performance. Consumers should fully consider these factors when purchasing a car and make wise choices based on their needs and budget.
