Why does the Corolla sell less than the Sylphy?
2 Answers
In terms of body size, the Sylphy is slightly larger than the Corolla. The Sylphy has a market reputation for spaciousness and high comfort. Below is a related introduction about the Corolla: Key advantages: Low fuel consumption; comfortable ride with smooth driving; rich and user-friendly interior configurations. Performance: Overall power is good with fast acceleration, but slow at startup. The engine noise is low, with users describing it as "very quiet, with minimal sound inside the car." However, when driving over 80 km/h, the tire noise becomes noticeable, leading some owners to modify their cars for better sound insulation. The new dual VVT-i engine pairs perfectly with the CVT transmission, providing ample power in the 2.0L variant. The six-speed manual transmission is precise with clear gear engagement, but the four-speed transmission is relatively outdated.
I think the main reason Corolla can't outsell Sylphy is the price issue, which is more practical for salaried workers like me. My budget for buying a car is limited, and the entry-level price of Sylphy is much cheaper, with daily expenses like maintenance and fuel costs being more economical. Although Corolla has a reputation for reliability, the total price is several thousand yuan higher, making the loan repayment pressure greater, especially under the current economic situation where spending extra money isn't wise. Sylphy has lower fuel consumption, allowing you to go further on a full tank, and reducing maintenance costs is what really matters. The space is also sufficient for family use, with a trunk that can hold miscellaneous items and rear seats that aren't cramped for passengers. For daily commuting, it's good enough, and it's better to save the extra money for travel rather than spending it unnecessarily.
