In the last episode of "Card Car God", the two editors of us had a confrontation from the perspective of their respective preferences. In addition to being interesting, we still hope to see more recommendations at the purchase level. Today, let's make a comprehensive comparison from the aspects of design, interior and configuration, explore the advantages of the two cars, and give you our car purchase suggestions from the perspective of the closest to life.
1, design, not only for the sake of good looks but also to preserve value
The value preservation mentioned here refers to two aspects: one is the price preservation of second-hand cars, which does not fall in price; on the other hand, the value of value preservation does not fall.
Although the beauty and ugliness of the design are different, the evaluation of the design in the second-hand market is real money. Like the new and tired of the old is the constant law of the market, a car with outdated design, its used car value will often be lower than the higher value of the same kind of competitors.
Any new car currently on the market, its design work is basically in the first 1 or 2 years before the finalization of the final draft, the designer's design is often ahead of the curve, you need to predict the aesthetic changes of the design trend after many years in advance. So many new cars seem a bit ahead of their time, but they will become more and more popular after a few years.
Referring to most consumers' car replacement cycle of about 6 years, after 6 years with the changes of the times and universal aesthetics, whose design is updated, the retention rate may be better, and it will be more able to retain the love of the owner.
The two cars of Lanjing and Tuon just show the two styles of Volkswagen design, and the Tourang, which was listed in 2017, ushered in a remodel in April this year, and the 2021 Tuon model has a more refined appearance on the basis of the old model. This set of design languages has been polished over the years to bring out the classic popular style to the fullest, and is a summary of the past decade.
The design of Lanjing is more like the beginning of Volkswagen's next era, which deeply restores the Volkswagen SMV concept car, and the design language is more cutting-edge. Referring to the design of ID.6, ID.4, we can see that this set of elements will become the family language of Volkswagen's new cars in the next few years.
The biggest difference between the design concepts of the two cars is not the curvature of the lines, but the creation of the overall atmosphere. In Touron's design, a large number of chrome materials are used to enhance the highlights, and the angular body lines are even more suffocated.
The design of the landscape is very different from Thatuon, the designer uses light and shadow instead of chrome to outline the outline, in addition to the daytime running lights that run through the front face, IQ. LIGHT full LED headlights make the front face details more delicate and energetic.
In addition to the daytime running lights, a series of combinations of body side markers, luggage rack mood lights and "Angel Wings" welcome blanket make the landscape extremely recognizable at night. Car lights from the very beginning of the development of tool attributes to today has more decorative attributes, exterior lighting atmosphere group is not only pleasing to the eye, but also improve the safety of vehicles driving at night.
In terms of body size, the wheelbase of the two models is the same. Tuon's length, width and height dimensions are 5052*1989*1773mm.
The outer dimensions of the landscape are 5152*2002*1795mm, which has more advantages than Tuang in length, width and height, and with the smooth curved design, the visual sense of the landscape is more relaxed.
Through the comparison of appearances, we can clearly feel the difference in the style of the two cars, although the architecture is of the same origin, but the personality is different. Tuon's design is classic and sophisticated, and the tough body of the off-road vehicle is also dignified for business purposes.
The design of the environment is more modern and more compatible, whether it is a living car or a business reception, you can go to the suburbs on weekends to go wild, and you can also be a competent dad car on weekdays.
Looks like looks, and can make a different first impression. The comparison of the interior space can provide a deeper understanding of the differences in the personalities of the two cars, and who is more suitable for your life.
2, the interior: the difference is more than one seat, the detail design is much worse
The interior space is the part that the driver contacts the most every day, in addition to the consideration of aesthetic workmanship, whether the space layout is convenient to operate, and whether the storage space is flexible and sufficient is also crucial.
The design of Tuon is classic and traditional, with a center console and instrument panel to clearly separate the functional areas in the front row. The central large screen and LCD instrument adopt independent design, which is more intuitive.
Tu Ang's gear handle and cup holder adopt a central layout, which is relatively regular but the space utilization rate is not high, and the front row lacks the space for large items, such as the satchel and backpack commonly used by women can only be placed on the co-driver's cushion, and the storage capacity is slightly insufficient.
The interior of the environment adopts the popular dual screen design, the screen angle is biased to the driver's side, such a design is conducive to reducing the driver's line of sight shift when driving, but also convenient for the driver to touch the screen operation.
The design of the central armrest is quite distinctive, with a layered design. The traditional gear lever and electronic handbrake are integrated into the upper level, and the open storage space on the lower level is convenient for storing large items such as satchels, and the downward movement of the cup holder also avoids interference with the gear shift mechanism. In addition, from the sense of riding, the open space reduces the sense of estrangement between the front seats, and the family travel is more intimate.
If the design of the center console is only the difference in the type of apartment, then the workmanship materials of the interior can be seen who works harder in the soft decoration of the territory. The door panels of both models are designed with a mixture of leather and plastic-lined materials, and the overall design of Tuon is neat and simple, but the details are slightly insufficient.
Details are always the key to enhancing the sense of luxury. The interior material of the environment is better than that of Tu Ang, the parts that come into contact with the driver's body are covered with leather materials, and the edges of the instrument and armrest box are made of leather stitching, which is more graded in both touch and appearance.
Through the previous comparison, it is obvious that the landscape benefits from the advantages of design updates, which are better in both space design and interior texture, but the biggest difference between the interiors of the two cars is the concept of seat layout.
Touron's standard configuration is a 7-seat layout, and with the exception of the lowest version, other models can be upgraded to six-seaters.
The choice of the whole frame is more flexible, the whole series of models can choose a six-seat or 7-seat layout, from the family car scene considerations, especially the first six-seat layout model of the family with a baby, the child seat can be placed separately on the independent seat, will not affect other spaces, whether the rear seat comfort or daily use convenience compared to the 7-seater model is more advantageous.
3. Configuration: Who is more sincere in the main sales model?
The configuration of Tuon and the top model of the lanjing is roughly the same, and more differences are reflected in the difference between the main sales models. The model we shot this time, Tuon is the 2021 380TSI four-wheel drive premium deluxe version with a guide price of 342,000 yuan. The 2021 380TSI four-wheel drive R-Line with a guiding price of 342,900 yuan is a 342,900 yuan, and the two vehicles are priced equally.
At the configuration level, both vehicles are equipped with tire pressure monitoring, reversing image, driving mode selection, electric tailgate, seat heating memory and other configurations as standard. Tuang has more exterior mirror anti-glare function than the global environment, driving in the dark night can effectively prevent the light interference of trucks and other models, which is conducive to improving driving safety and avoiding blinding.
Compared with Tuang, the configuration is much richer. In terms of passive safety, compared with Tu Ang, the second row of side airbags and the second row of untied seat belt reminder functions are added.
In terms of comfort, the interior adds steering wheel heating, multi-layer sound insulation glass in the front row, and electric adjustment of the second row of seat backrests.
Especially the steering wheel heating this configuration, friends in the north must be particularly favored, if there is no steering wheel heating body feel cold, wearing gloves is easy to reduce the friction of holding the steering wheel, and it is also inconvenient to control the screen buttons in the car, which is a comfortable configuration, but also a safe configuration.
In terms of driving, there is more Travel Assist travel assistance system, which is equivalent to arranging a safety assistant for the driver to be online at all times, which includes lane keeping, traffic sign recognition, parallel assist, active braking and other functions.
In addition, the charging interface of the rear space is also more abundant. The second row of seats is handy, with two USB charging excuses behind the central armrest box in the front row, and a charging port on each side of the third row of seats. Tuon's rear charging interface reservation is less than two.
The main 6-seater model of the lanjing has made more use of the interior space in addition to the more comfortable seats. There is no need to fold the seats, the in-car aisles can easily accommodate longer daily necessities such as skis, and the separate second row of seats with separate armrests is as comfortable as an MPV. The premium version also has optional seat ventilation and seat massage functions.
After comparison, it is not difficult to find that the environment has obvious configuration advantages in the comparison of the main sales model, and it is not a simple configuration stack, the extra is a practical and commonly used function in life, especially the Travel Assist travel assistance system, which is just needed to be configured, which is very important.
After the last episode of the program was broadcast, a friend mentioned some content that was not reflected in the video, and we selected some targeted questions and answers, hoping to help your purchase decision.
Q: Which of the six seats and seven seats is better? Which of the two people in the back seat is more comfortable?
A: After actual experience, the six-seater package has a clear advantage in the comfort of the second row compared to the seven-seat Tourang. The reason is that the second row of seats in the six-seat model is equipped with separate armrests on both sides, just like the difference between the office boss's chair and the restaurant seat, the armrest is very effective in improving comfort, with seat heating as standard, and the high-end model can also be equipped with seat ventilation and seat massage functions.
In addition, judging from the actual experience of editing, Tu Ang's cushion has a one-punch gap compared to the shorter knee, and the riding comfort is relatively ordinary and there are no highlights.
In the same sitting position, the six-seater version of the cushion is longer, and the length of the cushion can be supported all the way to the knee position, which is better for the thighs and more relaxed for the sitting posture.
Q: I have more things in my car, which car is more suitable?
A: In the mineral water storage test in the video, The Rangeland won with the advantage of 43 bottles against 38 bottles of Tuon, the design of the central handrail box island platform of the Rangeland was the key to victory, and the open storage space was more practical. In terms of spatial parameters, Tuon has a trunk volume of 286 liters after opening three rows of seats, while the trunk volume of the lancing is 357 liters.
The volume of tens of liters may not be obvious by visual inspection, but the regularity of the trunk space is better, and the storage space on both sides is equipped with a separate cover design for easy storage and sorting, while Tuang is exposed to a slightly rough.
Q: Which configuration is the most cost-effective?
A: With reference to the configuration table, the two main sales models of Lanjing, the 380TSI four-wheel drive luxury version Pro with a guidance price of 336,900 yuan and the 380TSI four-wheel drive R-Line version with a guidance price of 342,900 yuan are worth recommending.
Both models are equipped with highlight functions such as open panoramic sunroof, 30-color mood lights, front and rear seat heating, Travel assist travel assistance system, etc. The Jiajing version has more 360-degree panoramic images and is more practical, and the wheel hub is slightly smaller than the Tuojing version, but the replacement cost is lower in the later stage. The R-Line Topography Edition comes standard with reversing images, with more sporty look kits and 21-inch large wheels for a higher value.
In terms of power, the 380TSI tuned 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 220 horses and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, which is enough to meet daily life use, cheaper maintenance and economical fuel consumption, with the blessing of the 4 MOTION four-wheel drive system, which has a higher safety factor in rain and snow weather. As for the configuration level, whether you choose the high-value R-Line Topplication Edition or the cost-effective Luxury Edition, both models are a good choice.
