When choosing an SUV, the level of fuel consumption has always been a topic of concern, and how to provide better performance while taking into account fuel consumption has become one of the main concerns of SUVs. Are there any SUVs on the market that can balance fuel consumption and performance? The answer is yes, today's two protagonists of the competition, Nissan Qashqai and Starway TX (Parameter | Inquiry | Picture) Super Power Four-Wheel Drive Edition, together to see who can more effectively take into account everyone's needs.
Power game
In terms of power, the Xingtu TX super energy four-wheel drive version adopts a 1.6TGDI +7DCT power combination, the maximum power of the engine is 145 kilowatts, the peak torque is 290 Nm of power data, coupled with the extremely fast shift speed of 7DCT, it is very eye-catching from the data alone, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 8 seconds, and the official fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 6.9L. This 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is almost frustrating on the city road, which is very gratifying. After stepping on the throttle deeply, there is no sense of movement, and after the turbine starts, it will give a strong power output, full of staying power.
In addition to being powerful, it also strikes a balance of power, economy and stability to meet the user's demand for a sense of driving control and low fuel consumption. The use of BENTELER master chassis tuning, front McPherson + rear multi-link chassis suspension structure, not only strengthens the handling texture in the dynamic driving of the vehicle, but also the filtration of vibration is extremely effective, and the ride is more comfortable. Further improve the vehicle's handling stability and ride comfort. The Starway TX Ultra 4WD Edition combines small displacement and fuel savings with higher power performance, achieving both.
As a Nissan classic model Qashqai, even if it is the top match, it is still only a two-wheel drive version. It adopts a 2.0L in-line four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 111kW and an official fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 kilometers. Matching the engine is a CVT gearbox, and smoothness is the biggest selling point, but it has nothing to do with the word "performance", accelerating 10.53 seconds from 100 kilometers. Due to the limitation of two-wheel drive, the flat-time step is enough to use, but the loss is more of the pleasure of driving.
Handling performance
The Starway TX Ultra 4WD version of the Elk achieved a test score of 82.3km/h, ranking first among SUV models. With such a strong power, and then matched with the intelligent four-wheel drive system from BorgWarner, it can achieve the response speed of four-wheel drive switching in 0.07 seconds according to road conditions and system monitoring, and realize the automatic switching of two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive, which means higher control stability. Especially in the case of complex road conditions and changeable weather, the excellent and stable of this four-wheel drive system can exert the ultimate effect of performance, excellent control and power to meet people's sense of driving, and greatly enhance the high-end travel experience.
In contrast, the Qashqai is all pre-built front-drive system, can have a better fuel consumption performance, in the road conditions are better road surface is enough to be stable and steady, if encountered complex road conditions, it is easy to appear unstable grip, slippage, shaking and other situations, but it is still acceptable, after all, this is the natural physical characteristics of two-wheel drive vehicles. In summary, in terms of control feeling, the Starway TX Super Power Four-Wheel Drive Edition is much stronger than the Qashqai.
In contrast, the Xingtu TX super four-wheel drive version has a face value that meets the current young people's favorite value, as well as a relatively economical fuel consumption, in line with the positioning of contemporary home pull, equipped with a four-wheel drive system within 130,000 yuan, it can be said that it is full of sincerity. Compared with the self-imposed Qashqai, despite the low fuel consumption, the two-wheel drive Qashqai loses its power performance and handling performance, and it has to be said that the Starway TX Super Four-Wheel Drive Edition is more worthy of possession.
