E-car original a few years ago, if our budget is within 100,000 yuan, the car can basically only look at the minimum configuration of the entry-level joint venture car. But now it is completely different, the quality of independent brand cars is getting higher and higher, and within 100,000 yuan, you can buy cars with high configuration, large space or very good power. For example, the two models compared today, Kaiyi Xuandu and the new generation of Geely Emgrand, one is the main power, the other is comfortable, and the configuration is good. So as consumers, how do we choose?
These two cars are currently the latest family cars, and now young consumers prefer to go directly to high-end models. This time we will compare the strongest versions of each to see how they show their "best selves".
Look at the car first to see the face, this is now a very mainstream consumer concept of buying a car, these two cars express different attitudes to life. The first is the KaiYi Xuandu, which uses an upper and lower split grille, and the dot matrix net also emphasizes the properties of movement. Xuandu's headlight shape is relatively narrow and long, and with the unique design of led daytime lights, the front face looks sharp. It's worth noting that there are also real deflector slots on both sides of the Xuandu bumper to improve aerodynamic performance and cool the front wheels/front brakes.
On the contrary, on the side of Geely Emgrand, it adopts the design ideas of the Geely automobile family, showing a more square feeling. Its grille is a vertical strip style, and there is no extra embellishment on the front of the car, and the style is more traditional. So these two styles represent different philosophies of life, which one do you find more attractive?
The same design concept is also reflected in the rear of the car, the taillight shape of The Kaiyi Xuandu is very recognizable, the narrow taillight position is on the upper side, which looks very sporty, and the rear of the car also has a very real exhaust pipe decorative cover. Geely Emgrand adopts a through-line taillight and hidden exhaust pipe design, which belongs to a more traditional style.
In terms of body configuration, the performance of these two cars is quite worthy of the price. Both cars are paired with 205/50 R17 tires, Xuandu is equipped with Atlas tires, Andgrand is equipped with Giti tires, and the price is similar and more economical.
Both cars are equipped with LED headlights and both support automatic opening and closing. The rearview mirrors are also equipped with power folding/heating, while both cars are equipped with a normal sunroof.
Looking at the body size, the average consumer has a careful thought about buying a car: the larger the car with the same money, the more valuable it feels. Although the size of the new generation of Geely Emgrand has increased, it is still almost interesting compared to Kai Yi Xuandu. The wheelbase is 50mm longer than emgrand, and the other dimensions of the body are also larger, which will have obvious advantages in terms of space.
After looking at the appearance, we look at the car, the shape of the two cars has similarities, such as the use of floating central control screen, three-spoke steering wheel and other elements. The difference between the two is that the xuanduly center control is slightly like the driver's tilt, the black interior/red stitching reflects a certain sense of sportiness, and the Emgrand interior is a standard "T" layout, with a deep/light combination highlighting comfort.
In the comfort configuration part, Xuandu uses leather seats, and Emgrand uses leather/turped fur mix-and-match seats, with slightly different styles. Both cars are equipped with the main driver's electric adjustment seat, and Xuandu's more advantageous configuration is the heating of the front seats, which is more comfortable during use.
In the safety configuration section, both cars are equipped with at least 6 airbags, with a 360° panoramic imaging system and a rear reversing radar. This level of car, of course, ACC is slightly extravagant, and everyone should not expect to be equipped.
Kai Yi Xuan degree rear space
Geely Emgrand rear space
In the space part, due to the longer wheelbase of Kaiyi Xuandu, it is more prominent in the performance of the rear space, such as Xuandu's leg space performance has a slight advantage over Emgrand. In the process of our daily use of the car, especially long-distance driving, the space performance of the rear row is still very important.
After reading the above content, you can find that the two cars have always had different expressions in terms of tonality. For example, Xuandu has always emphasized a sense of sportiness, while Emgrand has always emphasized comfort. These two points have the most essential difference in the "three major pieces".
First of all, Xuandu, it is equipped with Chery Kunpeng power 1.5T engine, with 156PS/230N·m output, the engine from the 1750-4000rpm range can output maximum torque. In contrast, Emgrand is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, powered by 114PS/147N·m, and only has maximum torque in the 4400-4800rpm range.
Although both cars are equipped with CVT transmissions, the Xuandu 1.5T engine will have abundant power response and acceleration performance at both low speeds and high speeds. I believe that the vast majority of consumers will like the more dynamic version.
Looking at the chassis again, Xuandu uses a front McPherson/rear multi-link independent suspension, which is a relatively rare combination in the same price range. In contrast, Emgrand uses a front McPherson/rear torsion beam suspension, which is the more common structure in a 100,000-mile sedan. If you want to pursue sports, Xuandu's independent suspension has a more obvious advantage.
Combining the hardware of the two cars, Kaiyi Xuandu will obviously execute the sense of sport more thoroughly, and in our previous test driving experience, its driving experience is also very prominent, and it is more fun to drive. Emgrand has no bright spots in terms of power and chassis, and belongs to the conventional "transportation tool".
Editor's Summary:
Survey data shows that in today's car consumer market, the car buying group is getting younger and younger, which means that fashion and sports are becoming more and more favored. Compared with these two cars, although Xuandu belongs to the "newcomer" in the market, it has been emphasizing the positioning of sports, and all aspects are in place. Emgrand is a veteran of the compact car market and has always been focusing on comfort positioning, and the fourth generation of Emgrand is still focusing on comfort. But for today's young consumers, how to choose these two cars, I believe you already have the answer.
