Many friends still have many concerns about batteries when choosing hybrid models, including quality stability and reliability, subsequent replacement costs, battery power decay rate, safety, etc. For Corolla, these concerns may be just a cloud, and there is no need to worry about it. If you are confused, you should refer to the frequency of use of the car. The more you run the dual-engine model, the more worth buying. If you run less than 10,000 kilometers a year, it is more cost-effective to choose the fuel version, because the extra money spent on purchasing the dual-engine model is Higher than fuel costs.
There are two types of hybrids in the world, one is Toyota and the other is others. It can be seen that Toyota's position in the hybrid field is currently untouchable by no one except Honda. Toyota began developing hybrid technology as early as 30 years ago and has obtained more than 300 patents. Currently, there are very few manufacturers researching non-plug-in hybrids because of Toyota's patent protection. Honda, a technology nerd, has bypassed Toyota's patent protection to an even greater level, which can be described as powerful. Currently, hybrid models from Honda and Toyota are very worth buying.
The warranty period of the Corolla Dual Engine battery is eight years or 200,000 kilometers. For a family car, it is time to replace the car after eight years or 200,000 kilometers. If you are still worried, you can consider Toyota Ralink. Ralink is just a Corolla with a new shell. There is no difference between the two cars in terms of three major components. The battery warranty period of Ralink is a lifetime warranty. Toyota can do this, which shows that it is confident enough in hybrid vehicles.
According to personal understanding, the cost of replacing the battery of the Corolla dual-engine model is around 20,000-30,000 yuan. Of course, under normal circumstances, there is no need to replace it, because it is really not easy to break. Moreover, the battery decays very slowly. Foreign media tested the Prius and found that after ten years of use, the car's power and cruising range did not decay significantly, and it can meet the needs of normal use. Toyota's hybrid technology is indeed very mature. In terms of safety, Toyota Shuangqi also has safety devices. The car will automatically cut off the power supply in the event of a collision to prevent spontaneous combustion and explosion.
The Corolla Hybrid is more suitable for congested urban areas. Its fuel economy performance is indeed very good, but its performance at high speeds is average. If you use the car a lot and value fuel economy very much, then the Corolla Dual Engine is worth buying in the long run. Many friends use the Toyota Dual Engine to drive online ride-hailing services, and the cost of using the car is still very low. The only drawback is that the pure electric cruising range is very low, which is why it does not enjoy government subsidies; in addition, the battery is placed in the trunk, which affects the space performance of the trunk to a certain extent; the sound insulation and noise reduction performance of Toyota Corolla is also very inferior ;There is also the problem of abnormal noise in the gearbox. But overall, it's still good.
