Know What Hybrid Rivals Have to Offer. Toyota Corolla Hybrid Faces the Future BYD King in Technical Comparative

The hegemony of the Toyota Corolla Hybrid among hybrid sedans is about to be disrupted by the arrival of a new competitor from China: the BYD King. After being spotted in Brazilian territory in early April, the BYD sedan wants to compete with the Corolla Hybrid. But how will this fight play out? The technical comparison between the two models may provide some answers, according to the Estadão website.

Já tive o desprazer de ter um Lifan e sei bem como foi a experiência de ter um chinês na garagem ou melhor no mecânico pois quebrava câmbio semestralmente fora problemas de longarina trincada sem nunca ter carregado peso só andando na cidade de São Paulo esburaquenta, pra mim chinês na garagem nunca mais. Hoje tenho um Nissan e estou muito satisfeito com ele, nunca tive Toyota mas é japonês como a Nissan e creio ser bom também. Na dúvida paguem a mais e comprem Toyota ou Nissan que são tanques de guerra perto dos chineses.
