Time flies, unconsciously 2021 is nearing the end, although the new crown pneumonia epidemic is not over, but this has not hindered the domestic automakers' new car rhythm. From January to December this year, the joint venture brands that occupy the largest market share still brought a number of blockbuster new cars, which models are more worth buying? Then the professor will take you to inventory today!
In terms of car products, although there are a number of blockbuster cars led by the new Honda Civic on the market this year, in the professor's view, the Buick Veyron Pro will be the most cost-effective one. Needless to say, the Veyron Pro is not the most outstanding one, but it will not be inferior to any model in the same class, and the wheelbase of 2700mm can also ensure the practicality of the interior space.
What makes veyron Pro extremely competitive is the power aspect, which comes standard with a combination of 1.5T four-cylinder + CVT transmission, the maximum power reaches 184 horsepower, and the official 100 km/h acceleration time is only 7.7 seconds, which is almost one of the fastest models in the same class. Combined with Buick's consistently excellent chassis tuning skills, Veyron Pro's driving control can be described as a leading level in the same level, which is very suitable for young users who have become the main consumers.
Of course, for the Veyron Pro icing on the cake also has the price, even if the starting price is only 129,900 yuan, but at present it has 30,000-40,000 yuan of car purchase discounts in most areas, calculated down to the lowest only 120,000 can land, the cost performance is simply overwhelming, just ask who else can fight with one!
In terms of SUVs, the professor believes that the most worth buying new car this year will be the fourth generation Highlander, because it has the advantages that home users need the most, including fuel saving, reliability, comfort, value preservation, and the current SUV models that can fully compete with it can be said to be almost non-existent.
First of all, fuel-efficient and reliable, based on the TNGA architecture to build the fourth generation of Highlander equipped with THSII. hybrid system, mainly composed of 2.5L engine and motor, the system comprehensive power of 183kW, as a world-renowned hybrid system, the new Highlander reliability naturally does not have to worry about. More critically, it brings a lighter power output at the same time, but also reduces the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers to 5.3L, which is an SUV weighing more than 2 tons.
In terms of comfort, the wheelbase of the fourth-generation Highlander has been increased to 2850mm, which greatly improves the riding space of passengers in the second and third rows, coupled with Toyota's consistent layout advantages, making it one of the most comfortable SUV models in the same class, which is very suitable for the needs of home users. Of course, highlander also has the advantage of extreme value preservation, its 5-year retention rate has reached 76.85%, which is almost comparable to models such as the Prado. It can be said that the Highlander is a model that "buys with your eyes closed" and cannot be wrong.
With the continuous rise of Chinese brands, many joint venture brands have found other ways to create differentiated competition, and Dongfeng Citroen's Versailles C5 X is a typical representative. In terms of appearance, it has the elegance of a station wagon, the proportion of a sedan, and the pitch of an SUV, so some people say that it is "four different", but the professor thinks it is more like a great family crossover.
First of all, in terms of space and configuration, the Versailles C5 X has a wheelbase of 2785mm, which is enough to comfortably ride 5 adults at the same time, and also has a 545L trunk volume, which is almost the most practical level in its class. And in terms of configuration, LED headlights, 12-inch central control screen, panoramic sunroof, L2 level driving assistance, etc., can even be compared with the same price of Chinese brand models.
More critically, the Versailles C5 X is equipped with a 1.6T engine and Aisin 8AT transmission as standard, the maximum power reaches 175 horsepower, and the high-end model also has a PHC adaptive suspension, combined with Citroën's excellent chassis tuning skills, the versailles C5 X's driving experience is even better than many 200,000 yuan mid-size cars. Therefore, starting from 143,700 yuan, it is almost the most worth buying crossover at present.
In today's increasingly diverse car requirements, MPV has become the first choice for many families to buy a car, and the listing of Toyota Xena has set off a big mess of joint venture brand MPV. However, compared with the former, the professor believes that the more people-friendly Beijing Hyundai's Kustu will be the most worthwhile MPV model on the market, mainly for the following three reasons.
The first is the practicality of space, as a medium and large MPV, Kustu has a wheelbase of 3055mm, and the three rows of seats in the car can comfortably sit adults, pressing the Honda Odyssey. In terms of configuration, it not only has electric side sliding doors, electric tailgates and other configurations, but also rarely provides functions such as electric adjustment and heating ventilation of the second row of seats, which is rare even on domestic MPV at the same price.
The second is the power aspect, relying on the strong industrial chain of Hyundai Group, Kustu not only provides 1.5T and 2.0T engines to choose from, the maximum power is 170 horsepower, 236 horsepower, and the transmission is also equipped with an 8AT gearbox as standard, compared with competitors, it has more advantages in terms of smoothness and reliability.
Finally, the price, the starting price of Kusitu is only 169,800 yuan, even more close to the people than the GAC Trumpchi M8 and SAIC Maxus G20 in domestic brands, combined with its strong product strength, it is difficult not to say a "true fragrance"!
I have to say that today's automotive industry "inner volume" is too serious, through the above inventory is not difficult to see, cost performance has now become an important development direction for joint venture brands. For consumers, this is good news, of course, in a sense, we also want to thank the Chinese brands that continue to forge ahead, it is their progress that makes the joint venture brands feel the pressure, so that there are more and more cost-effective models.
