In terms of appearance, the new car follows the shape of the US version of COROLLA CROSS. The front face uses Toyota’s iconic large-size front grille to form the visual center of the front of the car, and the embedded blackened honeycomb grille adds a lot of sporty atmosphere. The surrounding shape is simple, and the word-through grille style is simple. It is made of black matte material to look a little tough, and there are also LED fog lamps on both sides.
The overall outline of the headlight group is slender but rounded. Below a thick LED daytime running light is a light bulb that integrates far and near light. The visual effect after lighting is good.

The taillight group is also similar to the lamp group of the RAV4 Rongfang, but the shape has been adjusted. It adopts the same slender taillight shape as the headlight, using a halogen light source.
The interior part also basically follows the same interior design and layout of the current Corolla, and there are two color schemes to choose from. The iconic LCD instrument panel + floating vertical central control screen also adopts a new three-frame multi-function steering wheel. The details are due to the SUV model, so the center console is raised as a whole, so a larger storage space is added to the lower part of the central control, which improves the practicality and makes the whole interior look more in line with the style of the crossover SUV.

Not only has it realized the transformation from large SUV to small SUV, but also formed an all-engine power product lineup including GAS, HEV, and EV, thus further meeting the diverse needs of users in the new era.
Judging from the price released, the main competitors of the new car are the joint venture brands such as T-ROC Tangge and Nissan Qashqai. However, with the development of independent brands, there are already many products with excellent product strength at the same price, and they will have more advantages in space and configuration. Therefore, Corolla Rui Fang still has no small challenge. So how does it actually perform in the market? Let’s wait and see!
