Youth sports are already a common topic in this new generation of main consumer markets. Regarding how to please young users, there are different views between different brands of models. For example, trumpchi shadow leopard, which has recently been in the limelight, and Chang'an UNI-V, which has just appeared, are both top players in the current independent brand to attack the young people's market, and are good at building a bridge of communication with each other in the way young people like to hear and hear.
However, when it comes to sports cars that are favored by young people, independent brands are still a little more tender. It should be known that the joint venture brand's insight into the personalized consumer needs of young people has been established many years ago. For example, Honda Civic, Buick Veyron, Volkswagen Lingdu and a number of other joint venture models that we are familiar with. It is worth mentioning that after the earlier Buick Veyron completed the upgrade and change, it was officially named Veyron Pro. As the name suggests, the comprehensive strength of The Pro character plus body will be immediately improved, and the confidence of competing products of the same level will be more sufficient.
The Avatar is very powerful
To be honest, for the current young family car bias towards the movement of the radical shape of the same, the author is more concerned about the performance of the core component of the engine, after all, living in an era that needs to pursue seeking truth from facts, since it is a sports car, of course, it cannot be imagined. Even if we do not require the ultimate sports, but at least related to the price of the vehicle, the sport performance should be outstanding in the same level of the car market.
The Buick Veyron Pro is powered by a four-cylinder 1.5T engine. It is reported that the internal code name of this engine is "Avatar", which means the sublimation of performance and technology, and is actually the latest research and development product of the eighth generation Ecotec engine family. The application of leading technologies such as 35MPa high-pressure fuel direct injection system, electric vent valve turbocharger, water-cooled supercharged intercooling, etc., finally achieved a significant improvement in the performance of the Avatar 1.5T engine compared with the old model.
On the Veyron Pro, the 1.5T engine can produce a maximum horsepower of 184Ps and a peak torque of 250 N·m. It is undeniable that from the book data, the power of the Veyron Pro is the best in the 1.5T model in the same class, and even surpasses the Honda Civic, the benchmark model known for "sports" in the same class.
As we all know, the first car of many young people can not avoid a Civic, in addition to having a pleasing young people's aesthetic appearance, the good power performance is more proud of many users, no wonder some people will occasionally ridicule civic as "civilian supercar", "Farah Domain". Especially after the eleventh generation model was launched, Honda's performance squeeze on its Earth Dream 1.5T engine increased unabated.
The Avatar 1.5T engine on the Veyron Pro is no less powerful than the new generation of Civic. The most direct crushing advantage is the zero hundred acceleration performance, the official announcement of the Veyron Pro zero hundred acceleration performance of 7.7s, the eleventh generation of Civic is 8.5s, Veyron Pro is nearly 1 second faster than the Civic. Some people may think that the gap of 1 second is not enough to hang their teeth, but in the field of traditional fuel vehicles, even if it is an increase of 0.01s, behind it may be the huge gap between the endless financial and material resources of the main engine factory and the advanced technology of each other.
The same 1.5T displacement engine, also using a CVT structure transmission, veyron Pro's peak torque burst node is 200 rpm ahead of the Civic and 500 rpm delayed. In other words, in the low- and medium-speed stages of vehicle start-up, the response of the Veyron Pro is better than that of the Civic, and in the middle and rear stages after the speed is raised, the staying power of the Veyron Pro is more abundant than that of the Civic. There is no doubt that at a time when the engine is constantly making compromises to meet the new environmental protection policy, the Veyron Pro still provides the best power tuning output of the same class model to consumers, which is particularly precious.
Exercise temperament does not forget the home tone
If you stick too much to the sense of sport, I am afraid that the audience of Veyron Pro will become narrow, which is obviously not in line with the vested interests of the current family car market. Therefore, in fact, all aspects of velang Pro under the sports performance are also taking into account the direction of home use.
The first thing to bear should be the spatial performance of the Veyron Pro. As an A-Class sedan, the Veyron Pro has body dimensions of 4664/1786/1472mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Its size is not outstanding in its class, and it can only be said to be decent. However, in all fairness, the wheelbase of up to 2700mm, from the perspective of family cars, the calmness of the riding space is still guaranteed. You know, the nissan Xuanyi, the benchmark of the family car, has a wheelbase that is only 12mm longer than it. What's more, compared to the high bulge of the Civic rear central aisle, the Veyron Pro is more friendly to the comfort of the intermediate passengers than the flat rear floor.
Secondly, the fuel economy of the family car is quite exquisite, and the Veyron Pro also shows it. Although the power performance of the Veyron Pro mentioned earlier is very excellent, it will be easy for people to have the illusion of high fuel consumption, but thanks to the excellent working conditions of the Avatar engine, it can still take into account the fuel consumption to maintain a relatively economical idealized level while providing strong power, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the 100 km WLTC of the whole series is only between 5.95-6.15L. Compared with the 5.5-5.9L/100km fuel consumption result obtained by the NeDC, which is measured in a more imaginary manner, the two should be a small winner in terms of fuel economy.
As for the competition in the comfort level, it is clear that the Veyron Pro will be better than the Civic, especially in the application of noise suppression technology. Among them, the Japanese brands represented by the Civic are well known for their crotch pulling in terms of noise suppression. The Veyron Pro has begun to consider consumers at the source of the engine, such as rationally optimizing NVH performance from multiple dimensions, including controlling the climb rate of engine burst pressure to avoid strong shock and vibration; using low-pressure precision sand casting cylinder block to improve internal compactness and mechanical stiffness, etc., to reduce unnecessary interference to the cabin during engine work.
Combined with the overall thick chassis texture of Veyron Pro and the unique watt connecting rod design of Veyron Pro, it brings good vibration filtering ability, and effectively maintains the comfortable riding quality that a family car should have.
Start with the balance in favor of the Veyron Pro
From the perspective of price, the entry price of both models is tacitly set at the same starting line of 129,900. However, after a closer look, you will find that this is not the same thing. The Veyron Pro spans the range of 129,900-158,900, and is equipped with the same power performance 1.5T engine. The Civic 12.99-16.39 million range, but the layout of high and low power 1.5T two kinds of power tuning output model. In fact, the starting price of models with performance parameters close to that of the Veyron Pro has reached 142,900. In this way, the Velang Pro is indeed more people-friendly.
The High Power Low-powered Low-end Price of civic 142,900 yuan, plus 3,000 yuan, can already meet the threshold of Veyron Pro GS, which is the sub-top model of Veyron Pro. With the blessing of a complete set of GS sports kits, the Visual Effect is sharper than the ordinary version of the Veyron Pro. Including the blackening of parts such as the roof, rearview mirrors and the middle mesh, as well as the gun gray front and rear lips that are completely different from the color matching of the body, bringing a stronger impact to meet the advanced needs of young people for personalization.
In contrast, even if the veyron Pro 129,900 entry-level model, in fact, the configuration is not humble. Like the top model, it is equipped with front and rear 16-inch wheels, main and co-pilot airbags and front and rear head air curtains, tire pressure monitoring function, constant speed cruise, LED long and near light, daily running light, automatic headlights and so on. Such as LED light sources, automatic headlights, etc., are often used by joint venture brand models to distinguish between high-, medium- and low-end models. The fact that we can do the same on veyron Pro shows that the Buick brand is kind to the domestic market.
In addition, in terms of the interconnection of smart cars and machines that are increasingly closely related to young people, there is no doubt that Veyron Pro has once again surpassed Civic. Since the next lowest-end model, Veyron Pro is equipped with a double 10.25-inch HD screen as standard, which can support dual-screen linkage, and is equipped with Buick's latest iteration of eConnect3.0 intelligent interconnection system, and the on-screen UI interface design is simple and clear, which is in line with our daily use of smart phone habits. He has excellent response and execution ability in human-computer interaction, intelligent speech recognition, voice control navigation and multimedia.
For example, the voice operation function, Veyron Pro can complete a number of commands including multimedia, navigation, telephone, air conditioning and sunroof, while the Civic can only control some basic settings such as multimedia, navigation and telephone. It is worth mentioning that eConnect3.0 technical support CarPlay and Carlife dual system mapping, through Buick's Super ID super personal account, users can log in to the car machine system with one click, and easily share cloud data with third-party APP such as music, navigation, and radio on the mobile phone. Among them, it enjoys a lifetime free traffic service of 100G Per year on The OnStar Andstar Car Union application, which is enough to provide users with a full range of intelligent experience.
Young people would not have had a good budget for car purchases. At a price of more than 100,000 yuan, looking for a surging power, fuel-saving, worry-free, and thick-ended joint venture brand sports car, turning over and over, Buick Veyron Pro is a suitable choice for young people. In the PK of the king of horsepower in this 1.5T choice, Veyron Pro also won the young man's "Fast and Furious".
