Not long ago, the British authoritative car magazine "Auto Express" selected the top ten most worth buying SUVs in 2021, they from the styling style (inheritance design, slipback design, double door design), space layout (five, six, seven), power system (gasoline, diesel, hybrid, pure electric), advanced technology (entertainment system, driving assistance system), off-road capabilities, car costs (fuel consumption, maintenance) and other dimensions to select, may have a certain reference significance, But let's just have fun.
There is no suspense, the first from the famous British luxury brand Land Rover under the Guard, the British are still quite selfish, the most worth buying SUV every year is land Rover model, 2019 is land rover found 5, 2020 no selection, this year to the land Rover defender.
In the eyes of foreign media, The Guardian helped Land Rover reinvent the modern iconic task, not only continuing the strong off-road capabilities of the previous generation model, but also adding more luxurious design elements to highlight the high-end quality of the Land Rover brand. In addition, for 99% of users, the current Guard can better drive on the city roads, providing good comfort and good dynamic ability.
At the same time, foreign media believe that the Defender is very selective, and in the British version of the Defender 110 model, it provides a choice of 5, 6 and 7 seats to meet the needs of different groups of people. And its powertrain is also relatively diverse, including mild hybrid cars and diesel engines, plug-in hybrid engines and powerful 5.0-liter V8 engines.
However, in the eyes of the Chinese people, it has always been believed that Land Rover belongs to the "Indian A Three", full of curry flavor, coupled with the influence of "Toyota that cannot be broken, land Rover that cannot be repaired well", "seven-fold leopard, eight-fold tiger" and so on, resulting in the image of Land Rover in the hearts of the Chinese people is not very good. However, its expensive price and domineering appearance are always the best proof of the rich.
The second place is Seat Tarraco, the car has been introduced and sold in China, do not repeat too much, a brief introduction. SEAT is the largest car company in Spain, but it is now a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG in Germany and is a car brand under the Volkswagen Group that emphasizes youthfulness.
Positioned as a mid-size SUV based on the Volkswagen MQB platform, the Seat Tarraco can be seen as a sister model of the Tiguan L and Skoda Kodiak, which will be equipped with 1.5TSI, 2.0TSI and 2.0TDI engines, matched with 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG transmissions, and some models will also provide four-wheel drive systems.
The third place is the BMW X5, which is a model launched by BMW at the end of the last century, after 22 years of being issued to the fourth generation of models, BMW X5 has the reputation of "the king of the road" with excellent driving experience, and is also the absolute benchmark in medium and large SUVs. In addition, the BMW X5 won the Grand Luxury SUV of the Year award for two consecutive years, and its plug-in hybrid version also won the title of segmentation.
Some time ago, the exposure of BMW Brilliance X5L declaration map also caused an uproar at home and abroad, which is enough to see the high status of this model in people's minds. The new car has a length, width and height of 5060/2004/1779mm and a wheelbase of 3105mm, which is significantly higher than the imported version. In terms of power system, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 3.0T turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 272 horsepower and 370 horsepower, respectively, and the transmission system is still matching the 8-speed manual transmission.
The fourth is Renault Carbin, the car positioned as a small SUV, has previously been imported in the form of domestic sales, 2018 models price range of 13.18-14.18 million yuan, due to poor market performance, coupled with Renault's withdrawal from the Dongfeng Renault joint venture, withdrawing from the Chinese fuel passenger car market, the car has not been introduced domestic sales since then.
However, the car can be on the list is also quite depressing, because foreign media just think that this car has a rich style and functionality, as well as a sliding rear seat, but also equipped with some driver assistance systems, has received a five-star safety rating from Euro-NCAP in Europe, and other aspects have not been eye-catching.
The fifth place is the Skoda ENYAQ iV, which is also the first pure electric model of the Skoda brand, which is based on the MEB platform of the Volkswagen Group. It is worth mentioning that the car also won the british annual top ten electric vehicles, which shows that the British media has a very high rating for this car.
Foreign media believe that Skoda ENYAQ iV is a typical pure electric family car, it is very practical, and completely equipped, good comfort and excellent driving texture, and said that high-end models can travel 500 kilometers after charging, which can alleviate any mileage anxiety. The car starts at £33,450 (about 283,700 yuan) in the UK market, and it is not yet clear whether the car will be introduced for domestic sales in the future.
The sixth place is Mercedes-Benz GLA, you read it right, it is the cheapest SUV for Mercedes-Benz, let's first see how foreign media evaluate it. Foreign media: Mercedes-Benz GLA has promoted the small luxury SUV market, which not only increases the internal space, enhances practicality, but also enhances the high level of comfort and refinement, and the key also lowers the purchase threshold of Mercedes-Benz SUV, so that more consumers can afford Toscare.
In addition to having a beautiful appearance and luxurious interior, foreign media also bluntly said that Mercedes-Benz GLA is equipped with a powerful, fuel-saving and exquisite engine (foreign 2.0T models); but also praised the Mercedes-Benz GLA plug-in hybrid version can provide 37 miles (59 kilometers) of pure electric endurance, helping to reduce the cost of the car.
However, the domestic Mercedes-Benz GLA may be a different product in the eyes of the Chinese people, and more people think that the purchase of Mercedes-Benz GLA only cares about the "three-pronged star", which can reflect a more noble identity and face.
The seventh place is Hyundai Tucson, positioned as a compact SUV, in the domestic price range of 16.18-22.58 million yuan, is a very important car in the Hyundai family, some time ago the newly launched oil-electric hybrid version of the model is more worthy of the same level of Toyota Honda, buy buy Jun test drive test test opened 4.3L / 100km of the minimum fuel consumption performance. It has to be said that Tucson is a joint venture SUV with a very good price performance ratio.
In the eyes of foreign media, the new Tucson has changed the traditional conservative design in the past, and adopted a more bold design, which is more eye-catching, while praising Tucson for having a 620-liter trunk volume and a relatively spacious rear space to ensure daily use. In addition, it also said that Tucson's infotainment system is one of the best systems in its class, simple and convenient, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
In eighth place is Skoda Kolok, positioned as a compact SUV, the domestic price range is 129,900-15.99 million yuan, equipped with a 1.4T engine, the maximum power of 150 horsepower, the peak torque of 250 Nm, the transmission system matches the 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. Foreign media commented on this car similar to Tucson, saying that this car is inexpensive, practical, and the best in the infotainment industry.
In the ninth place is Land Rover Discovery 5, positioned as a medium and large SUV, the domestic price range is 689,880-83.78 million yuan, the terminal market discount is as high as 100,000 yuan, the reason why the discount is so high, perhaps from this sentence: after the discovery of 4, it is not found. Because of the discovery 5 discarded the inline girder and abandoned the appearance of The Founder firmness, the tough guy turned into a creamy little boy in seconds.
However, in the eyes of the British media, they believe that the Discovery 5 is one of the best family cars you can buy, not only owning the Range Rover-like aura, but also providing the high-end driving experience of high-end SUVs, while also combining the 7-seat practicality of the MPV with the off-road capabilities of a 4X4 off-road vehicle. I have to say that the British media really put Land Rover Discovery 5 in the sky.
In the tenth place is actually MG ZS EV, which is also the only model of China's own brands on the list, here is mentioned, although MG was previously a British car brand, but in 2005 was acquired by Nanjing Automobile Group Co., Ltd., has become a real domestic brand car.
The picture shows the European version of mg ZS EV
And for this once British car brand MG, the British media is naturally not afraid to tout, MG ZS EV was first launched in 2019, it is not only one of the cheapest electric vehicles, but also more practical among competitors at the same price. Two years later, MG revised the ZS series with a new exterior and interior, as well as improved battery range for more families.
Written in the end: The ranking of foreign media is for the British market, for the Chinese market market, can not say that there is a problem, after all, the current situation of the Chinese and foreign automobile markets is different, consumers' car purchase tendencies are also very different, many models that are not optimistic in China have a high degree of favorability abroad, while many domestic best-selling models are not favored in the UK. If you look at the domestic masses' car standards, who do you think the top ten SUVs are most reasonable to give?
