Is Corolla from FAW or GAC?
2 Answers
Corolla is from FAW, which stands for China FAW Group Corporation, a large state-owned automotive enterprise group. The dimensions of the Corolla are 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kw and a maximum torque of 185 Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The Corolla features front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear E-type multi-link independent suspension. It has a minimum ground clearance of 152mm and a body weight of 1335kg.
I've always driven a Toyota Corolla. When I bought my last car, I did some research and found out that the Corolla in China is produced by FAW Toyota, a joint venture between FAW Group and Toyota. I pay close attention to the origin of cars because quality and service are quite important. FAW Toyota is quite well-known in China, with high model reliability, especially common in northern cities, and has many service centers. Before purchasing, I also considered the Levin from GAC Toyota, which is a similar twin model, but the Corolla comes from FAW. My car is fuel-efficient and quiet, perfectly suitable for family use. When I meet fellow Corolla drivers on the road, we all agree on its FAW origin. I chose it mainly for its cost-performance ratio and brand assurance. After driving it for over a year, I haven't encountered any major issues, and maintenance is convenient. It's definitely worth recommending to friends.
