TOYOTA COROLLA VERSO (2004 - TO DATE)丰田Corolla甘州(2004年至今)
It?s taken a while but the public is only now catching on to quite what a good car Toyota?s Corolla Verso is.?收盘采取了一会儿,但公众只是现在有什么好的颇为盛行丰田汽车?收盘花冠甘州. The first generation car was a product that completely passed the British public by and was unfairly ignored.第一代轿车产品,完全是通过英国公众是不公平的,忽略. Undeterred by this indifference, Toyota went back to the drawing board and launched a second generation Corolla Verso in 2004 that has started to pick up some meaningful sales.在无这种冷漠、丰田回纸上谈兵,开展了第二代花冠2004年,甘州已经开始回升一些有意义销售. Despite the fact that it wins almost every group test it ever enters, the Verso has never sold in the same order of magnitude as cars like the Vauxhall Zafira, the Renault Scenic or the Citroen Xsara Picasso, but live with one for any extended period of time and you?d have to admit that Toyota have got the product spot-on.尽管几乎每一组夺得有史以来进入测试,甘州从来不出售的同一量级为车象狂暴zafira,雷诺风景雪铁龙赛纳还是毕加索、但同住一个较长的时期内,对任何你?四不得不承认丰田的产品得到叫好. Here?s how to pick up a decent post-2004 second generation model.这里?如何收盘回升象样邮-2004二代模式.
HISTORY历史
The key complaint amongst buyers of the Mk1 Corolla Verso was that the bulbous styling was somewhat anonymous, so Toyota?s designers sharpened their pencils and set about creating a sharper set of clothes for the second generation Corolla Verso.其中投诉的主要买家mk1花冠甘州就是依偎造型有点姓名所以丰田?收盘设计师削尖的铅笔,并着手建立一个尖锐的一套衣服二代花冠甘州. While they were at it, they invested in a thorough overhaul of the interior, endowing it with a good deal more style and equipment.当他们在看,他们投入正本清源内政部赋予了更为良好的作风和设备. The engines and running gear never generated any cause for complaint and were largely left alone as were the existing trim structures.发动机和传动装置的制造商从未产生任何很大程度上孑然一身如同现行浪结构. T2, T3 and plush T Spirit models were offered with a choice of either a 109bhp 1.6-litre powerplant or a 1.8-litre 127bhp engine.T2期、T3和长毛绒80707笔精神同型号可选择一109bhp1.6公升电厂或180公升127bhp发动机. By far the most satisfying option, however, was the uprated 114bhp D4-D diesel unit.迄今为止最满意的方案,则是新型干法114bhp薪-丁柴油股.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The shape is still reminiscent of the original Corolla Verso but everything seems to have been sharpened up, as if the Verso has spent a month at Automotive Fit Club.形状仍然带有原始花冠甘州但一切似乎已被削尖了,如甘州花了一个月的汽车俱乐部合适. The wheel arches are more defined, and the front grille and bumper are slimmer and sleeker.车轮拱门更加明确,而前格栅、保险杠、装有都是渺茫. There?s also a definite upper and lower body to the car, helped by those distinctive shoulders which give it a far more progressive look.?收盘也有一定的身体上、下车,这些独特的肩膀帮助它更进看看.
Unlike many similarly sized rivals, the Corolla Verso can seat seven and, uniquely in its class, all five rear seats fold down into the floor to create a totally flat loading surface.不像许多同样大小的对手,可容纳七、甘州花冠、独特的阶级,5倍下降到后座地板创造一个绝对平坦地面落. This means that you won?t need to haul heavy seats into and out of the car if ultimate carrying capacity is required.这意味着你赢了?要捡重笔进出车内座位如果需要运载能力极限. A lot of thought has gone into this system, the seats not only being the lightest in class but also requiring a simple one-touch operation to fold each one flat.想来想去已投入体系最轻的席位,不仅受到班上还需要一个简单的一个操作触摸到每一个单位倍.
The interior looks a good deal sharper than the old car, with tighter manufacturing tolerances meaning panel fits are better.内政部看起来很大尖锐比车,适合小组正在加紧制造公差含义更好. As with all manufacturers, Toyota have worked hard at getting the ?door slam?跟所有厂商,丰田在辛苦争取?猛撞大门? sound exactly right and the combination of carefully sited hinges and clever air sealing makes the Corolla Verso sound more impregnable than Fort Knox when you slam the doors shut.健全正确的,关键在于巧妙组合精心放置密封使得空气更加稳固健全甘州花冠比诺克斯堡当你猛撞门外. The materials used throughout the cabin have been thoroughly upgraded too with a combination of metallic finishes to accentuate the centre console.整个机舱物料已经过彻底更新与组合,以凸显金属装饰中心控制台. The design majors on geometric shapes and three-dimensional elements to render an arch like effect.主修几何形状设计和三维分子提供了弓一样的效果. It?s quite unlike any other Toyota interior and marks a new design direction that?s surprisingly bold for a model that will be marketed to some of the most conservative new car customers.?收盘不像其他内政和丰田标志设计新方向是什么?收盘为楷模,竟大胆地将一些最保守行销新车客户.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices for the second generation Corolla Verso start at £12,500 for 1.6-litre T2 models but it?s worth stretching to £13,000 for the first of the 1.8-litre cars as these offer noticeably more shove with hardly any penalty in terms of fuel efficiency.第二代花冠甘州价格开始为12,500英镑1.6公升型号的T2但?英镑对美元收盘伸首一万三千180公升由于这些车提供更明显推几乎任何刑罚的燃料效率. If you?re planning to run your Verso with a full load on a regular basis or even contemplate using it for light towing duties, you?ll certainly want the 2.0-litre D4-D diesel.如果你?重新规划经营,以满载甘州你有定期甚至以此为轻型拖车迎面职务你?当然希望当地2.0公升的D4-丁柴油. You?ll also need a bit of luck finding one as these don?t seem to be changing hands with any great frequency.你?当地还需要一点运气,找到一个为这些鲍思?笔似乎是有很大的趣闻频率. Track a decent one down and you?ll need to budget at least £14,500 for a 54-plated T2 model.一个象样的轨道下来吗?当地需要14,500英镑的预算至少54-镀的T2模式. Insurance for the Corolla Verso reflects its family-friendly image and ranges between Group 5 and Group 8.它反映了保险花冠甘州家庭友好小组之间的形象和射程5组8.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Corolla has forged a reputation for monotonous reliability and the Verso is no exception.花冠锻造了一支声誉的单调和可靠性甘州也不例外. A long-term vehicle we sampled didn?t miss a beat during its tenure with us despite being subjected to all manner of long distance journeys.长期采样车我们雾化?笔一击败任职期间,与吴美尽管遭受种种长途跋涉. The seat folding mechanism is rugged and well thought through, but make sure the seat mountings haven?t been damaged when removed from the car.所在地折叠机制崎岖不平,经过深思熟虑,但让座位挂天堂?当笔从车被破坏. The load area itself is also hardwearing and the engines and running gear seem similarly bombproof.载荷面积本身也是hardwearing及发动机和传动装置似乎同样防工程. As long as the service records have been properly adhered to it?s difficult to imagine a more reliable proposition.只要坚持正确的服务已记录?很难想象一个更可靠的命题.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1.6 T3) Toyotas spares are by no means as cheap as those offered by Ford or Vauxhall but a realignment of pricing has dropped the costs significantly.(大约基于一条1.6的T3)丰田零件都绝非廉价福特所提供的制服或调整价格有所下降,但成本大幅增加. A clutch assembly will cost in the region of £130, whilst an exhaust is around £330.离合器装配了该地区将耗资130英镑,而排气约为3300. A new starter motor retails for around £150, although a replacement headlamp will be in the region of £200.新起动电机零售150英镑左右,虽然更换前照灯将在该地区200英镑. Repair costs have been kept down with a consequent effect on insurance premiums.修理费一直保持下来,因而影响了保险费.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The Corolla Verso won?t be the choice of the driver who?s torn between a hot hatch and a mini-MPV but it?s a great car for those who want a seven-seat mini-MPV that can cruise comfortably and reliably.花冠甘州赢得了吗?笔会选择谁驾驶?收盘谁先热门舱口和小型巡逻艇,但?收盘大轿车有意7座小型巡逻艇巡航舒适、可靠,可. The 100bhp 1.6VVT-i unit isn?t a bad engine but most will deem the additional zip of the 133bhp 1.8-litre version well worth the premium.1.6vvt的100bhp我单位肖国?笔会认为,最恶劣的发动机,但新增的拉链133bhp1.8公升版本,值得保险费. There are far sportier choices available in the mini-MPV sector and the Corolla Verso majors instead on offering a smooth ride and simplicity of operation.还有远sportier选择在小巡逻艇花冠甘州专业界和怜悯,而是提供简便操作. The brakes feel a little wooden at first but there?s no lack of bite when you plant the pedal.刹车感觉有点木,但当初?收盘不乏当你咬植物的踏板. One particularly strong point is the good all-round visibility which is a major bonus in city traffic and while easing into tight parking spots.其中尤其是好的优势全方位能见度仍然是一项重要的奖金为缓解城市交通紧张而停车点.
OVERALL 总体
Although it?s far from the most glamorous mini-MPV, the Corolla Verso is, on most objective scorecards, up there with the best.虽然?远离最璀璨的小巡逻艇,花冠甘州在于,最客观的成绩,上面有最好的. Newer entrants like the latest Vauxhall Zafira and Honda FR-V models run it close but if you need a vehicle that does it all with no fuss and no stress, the Toyota would still be top of my list.新晋喜欢和本田最新狂暴zafira阻燃第五型号办成接近一辆车,但如果你需要的一切,没有那么计较,没有压力,丰田仍会名单之外.
