How to Choose Between the New Sagitar and Corolla?
2 Answers
It is well-known that most of Corolla's engines are better than the Sagitar's EA211, with the advantage of being more refined and having lower fuel consumption compared to average cars. In terms of transmissions, technically, the Corolla's CVT transmission is superior to the Sagitar 1.6's AT transmission, and it has its own merits compared to the Sagitar 1.4T's DCT transmission. The 1.4T DCT's advantage lies in high torque at low RPM, but for compact cars, the torque transmitted by the CVT is actually sufficient. If you prefer the 'stiff' driving feel of German cars, enjoy flexible acceleration, often go on long trips, and have comprehensive requirements for configurations, then choosing the Sagitar is definitely the right choice. If you prefer quietness, comfort, and cost savings, and most of your driving time is in congested urban areas, then the Corolla Hybrid will not disappoint you.
Our family prioritizes space and safety when choosing a car. The new Sagitar offers a spacious back seat, easily accommodating three large bags or a child safety seat. It also comes with emergency brake assist and multiple side airbags, making long-distance drives more reassuring. The Corolla has lower fuel consumption, saving money for city commuting, but its smaller space can feel cramped for family trips. After test driving both, the Sagitar provides higher comfort, especially with better shock absorption on bumpy roads. The prices are similar, but the Sagitar is more practical. With kids often making noise in the car, a large trunk is crucial, and the Corolla's noise control isn't as quiet as the Sagitar's. Considering all family needs, choosing the Sagitar is more hassle-free.
