In the domestic automobile market, no car has ever been able to challenge Fit's position in the A0 market, that is, the mini-car market, whether in 2003 or today. Honda Fit's popularity continues to rise not only in the new car market, but also in the used car market. Fit is in short supply every year, and the price is rising, so many car dealers are willing to keep one as their own car. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to buy the Fit in good condition at the right price in the market. So, there is no other choice but to fit in?

Years ago, I also encountered this problem when I was a child. With a budget of 30,000 yuan, he wants to help his mother-in-law who comes from his hometown to take care of her children buy a car, buy food and take care of her children. He asked for a joint venture brand, automatic transmission. His first choice is Fit, but 30,000 yuan can't buy an automatic second-generation Fit, and occasionally a few cars are not ideal, so I recommended yaris to him.

In 2008, GAC Toyota went public in yaris. In fact, this is not the first time that yaris has come to China. Five years ago, it came into our life as a kind of "prestige". Weizi is the first generation yaris, manufactured by Tianjin FAW in China, adopting CKD mode. As small as a turn signal, a piece of glass is imported, and a car logo is hung. Since 2008, it belongs to the second generation yaris, and officially hangs the Toyota logo. Its body appearance is the same as the overseas version. Equipped with 1.3 liter and 1.6 liter naturally aspirated engines, the competitor is Honda Fit, also from GAC.

In order to compare the two cars more fairly, I adopted the control variable method and selected the two configurations with the closest price among the two models in that year for comparison. In 2008, yaris 1.6G automatic refined smart edition and 2008 1.5L automatic deluxe edition were 109200 yuan and1/4200 yuan respectively.

After 12, the used car price difference between the two cars is much larger than that of that year. The price of yaris is around 28,000, and the price of Fit is more than 30,000 or even 40,000, which is very exaggerated. If value determines price, does yaris really have nothing to do with Fit?

The width of the two cars is exactly the same, but yaris is shorter and taller, round like a small steamed bun, and the fit has advantages in wheelbase and trunk space, but in fact, yaris has more head space and a higher sitting position, which will make him more comfortable. ? The dynamic parameters of the two cars are almost the same. The maximum horsepower and torque of yaris 1.6-liter twin VVTI engine are 1 18 horsepower and 150 nm respectively, and the maximum horsepower and torque of the fit are 120 horsepower and 145 nm respectively. Yaris's maximum power output speed is higher than the other two engines.

Generally speaking, yaris will be higher and safer than Fit configuration. First of all, Fit is not equipped with ISOFIX child seat interface, and this configuration is standard even if it is the lowest in yaris 1.3. If you are buying a car to pick up children, then this configuration is very necessary;

In addition, yaris has more airbags than Fit, and yaris has two air curtains before and after Fit. Finally, the second generation Fit system is not equipped with a brake assist system. With better electronic control equipment and wider tire width, yaris will undoubtedly have better braking performance.

Let's talk about some irrelevant configuration differences first. Yaris has more keyless entry system than Fit, with adjustable headlight height and electric folding of exterior rearview mirror. Yaris's rear brake is a drum brake, which is not honest enough. The rear row is put down as a whole, while the Fit support ratio is put down, and the backrest can be adjusted, which is not practical as Fit, but it is definitely enough to pick up and drop off children to buy food at ordinary times. Yaris's fuel consumption will be slightly higher than the Fit because of its larger displacement, but not much higher. According to the calculation of 10,000 kilometers a year, the fuel cost is 300 yuan more to 500 yuan.

Many friends can't understand my love for mini-cars. I want to clarify: First of all, there is a lot of space for mini-cars. yaris and Fit will not be crowded if they sit four or eight meters. Besides, the person who said these words certainly didn't pick up the children at the kindergarten gate. Drive a car with the same length and width, stop at rest and leave when you pick up the children. As for the cart, just watch him turn around in the crowd, hahahaha!
