For medium and large SUVs, it seems that most consumers can think of joint venture brand models, such as luxury Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5, Audi Q7, although these models have a brand face, but the price is also relatively out of the budget range of most friends. And the people-friendly Buick Encore banner, Ford Explorer, the price also needs 300,000 upwards, saying that the people-friendly seems to be not so "pro"... Compared with the joint venture brand, the medium and large SUV of the independent brand will be relatively cost-effective. Today Xiaobian will recommend two cost-effective medium and large SUVs to you, see which one is more in line with your heart?
The first paragraph: Lynk & Co 09
Recommended model: 2021 2.0T Halo seven-seater
Guidance price: 285,900 yuan
Lynk & Co 09 should be regarded as an old friend, in the camp of medium and large SUVs, Lynk & Co 09 has maintained a good reputation since its listing. In terms of appearance alone, Lynk & Co is indeed the existence of a unique gear, and the iconic family-style front face design makes the lover unable to extricate himself. But this maverick design is undoubtedly successful, at least people are extremely impressed by it, looking at the front face from a distance, even if they can't recognize the model, they know that it is a Lynk & Co.
Why buy a medium and large SUV, to put it bluntly, there is a greater demand for space. The body size of the Lynk & Co 09 is 5042/1977/1780mm, and the wheelbase is 2984mm, which is not too much different from the Ford Explorers with better spatial performance. At the same price, Lynk & Co 09 has two seat versions to choose from, and the 6-seat version will be higher than the 7-seater ride comfort, but considering the more flexible space layout, Xiaobian personally recommends the 7-seat version.
In terms of interior, Lynk & Co 09 is also trying to create a sense of luxury. It adopts the layout mode of 12+6-inch central control screen and 12.3 full LCD dashboard, which is simple and intuitive, has a good texture, and also takes into account practicality. The black and white double-color leather seats also further strengthen the sense of luxury inside the car, and it should be known that at this price point, there are not many models where the seats can be fully leather.
If Lynk & Co's biggest selling point is, it should be its strong driving force. Although it is an independent brand, Lynk & Co uses Volvo's engine technology, and the power has been readjusted, which is a pure "dimensionality reduction blow" for the same level of independent brand models. Lynk & Co 09 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum power can reach 187kW, not only to meet the needs of the family, but also to bring consumers a lot of driving pleasure.
The second paragraph: the star journey to the moon
Recommended model: 2021 390T 4WD Star Edition
Guidance price: 229,900 yuan
When it comes to autonomous medium and large SUVs, the star path is also a good choice. If you look at the appearance alone, the atmosphere and calmness of the moon will not be worse than the Ford Explorer. But the same four-wheel drive version, the Ford Explorer is about 100,000 yuan higher than the moon. Therefore, on the basis of cost performance, Xiaobian feels that it is still worth starting with the moon.
In terms of spatial performance, the body size of the Moon is 4970/1940/1788mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. The overall size is still a bit different from the Lynk & Co 09, after all, the price is there. However, in terms of daily riding, the leg space and head space of the moon can still meet the travel needs of families.
The interior design of the moon and Lynk & Co 09 is slightly similar, the same dual-screen layout and black and white seat color, but the style of Lynk & Co 09 will be more futuristic with the blessing of science and technology, and the moon will be more commercial and old because of the addition of a large number of wood grain decorative panels.
When I first saw the moon, Xiaobian actually did not have too many expectations for its power, because Chery's power adjustment was indeed not good. But when I really drove the moon, I found that the power performance of the car was still quite amazing. Lanyue is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the peak power is 187kW, the maximum torque can reach 390N·m, the book data is even higher than the Lynk & Co 09, and the measured performance is also good, and the overall power is sufficient. And the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC 100 kilometers is 8.5L, which is not high for such a big guy, and it is still 92 oil.
On the whole, the cost performance of the two cars is relatively high, and it also has a relatively obvious price advantage compared to the joint venture brand of the same level. Although the brand influence may not be as good as the joint venture, Xiaobian believes that the face is for others to see, the car is driven by itself, and the practicality and cost performance are still more important. If it were you, would you choose both of them?
