What qualities should a good midsize SUV have? Appearance, space, power, economy, intelligence... If you want to buy a medium-sized SUV with a budget of 200,000 yuan, you will often encounter a trade-off choice with no brand configuration and no motivation for configuration. Today we will take stock of how to analyze the car purchase decision of a medium-sized SUV with 200,000 yuan in hand, and how to do it "adults do not make multiple choice questions".
Power control contrast, one inch new inch stronger
From the perspective of engine displacement alone, between the three, and all of them are front-drive configurations, it is a fair comparison. The Volkswagen 1.4T has been famous for a long time, and Honda is also famous for "buying an engine to send a car", and it seems that Buick Encore has no advantage. But careful analysis, the results may be unexpected by you, let's take stock one by one.
Honda CR-V on this Earth Dream 1.5T L15B engine we are all too familiar with, up to the Crown Road, UR-V, down to the Fit Civic, the mainstay Accord, all use L15B series engines, of course, will be for different models to do differentiated version tuning. Realistically, the engine's parameters are not bad, with a maximum horsepower of 193 hp / a maximum torque of 243 Nm that changes quickly and quickly under Honda's tuning.
However, the biggest problem on cr-V is that the L15BL engine is slightly old, the crankshaft ventilation system has been criticized for design problems, and it has also experienced the baptism of "machine throttle". And the matching CVT gearbox is completely comfortable oriented, and the official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 9.4. The results are not too bad, but the Japanese CVT still makes people feel powerless to do more.
Honda is highly accomplished in the powertrain, but it still leaves NVH old problems such as loud noise and vibration on the CR-V. In terms of turning to the feel, the CR-V is a relatively conservative diehard in the entire Honda family, and does not have the direct and sensitive pointing feeling on the sedan series. The whole is useless, maintaining a consistent level but rarely making breakthroughs.
Coming to Tanyue's side, we are familiar with the EA211 National VI DJS version of the nose, with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. Many views believe that this engine to drive the medium-sized SUV is enough, may be "misled" by the above two numbers, the earliest EA211 equipped with Langyi, Sagitar, A3 and other A-class models, followed by the use of B-class car entry configuration.
Its maximum output power, maximum output torque speed range is very narrow, the former needs to reach 5000-6000rpm, almost already close to the red line position, more exaggerated is the maximum torque range from 1750rpm to 3000rpm, came early, in addition to it is the only engine in the three cars that needs to be filled with No. 95 gasoline. However, objectively speaking, this engine is also the oldest technology, the domestic service from 2013, Europe longer, to the 5-year generation has been two generations ago technology, the fact is also true, but the successor EA211 EVO has not come, do not know what link is stuck. The actual driving experience is also relatively weak, low-speed starting and medium-high speed deep throttle have made the SUV of this size of Tanyue look a little sluggish and bulky, the official zero hundred acceleration performance of 9.9 seconds, and then a little slower may not even be able to run the Japanese system.
In addition, Volkswagen's control over costs is very strict, and in recent years, models no longer have the so-called "German heavy feeling", with a vague and unclear steering feeling, which makes people lament the strong brand appeal of Volkswagen. But in general, Volkswagen's car-making experience is still online, although the power and handling are average, but there are no too serious shortcomings.
Finally, we take a look at the power level of the Encore S 1.5T, and I have to say that it perfectly interprets the public opinion of "GM does not lack a good engine". We've talked about this engine many times, Buick's latest Avatar 1.5T engine, is the youngest but most powerful "junior".
The most significant feature of this is the 1.5T class ceiling power, and by 2021 we will know that the original 1.5T four-cylinder engine can also be the original 200 horsepower mark. To achieve this level of 1.5T four-cylinder engine, the work to be done is very systematic and complicated. From the perspective of new technologies, there are mainly high-pressure direct injection systems, electric vent valve turbochargers, fully variable displacement oil pumps, etc., and in the field of basic material molding, such as low-density needle punch cylinder liners, to improve heat conduction efficiency. Other brands of engines also use these technologies, but few are as comprehensively improved and optimized as Buick's 1.5T.
In addition, although it is an entry-level version of the model, Buick is also equipped with a universal 9AT, and it undoubtedly won the best score of 8.4s in the zero hundred score column.
Finally, don't forget that the Encore S is with a 48V light mix system, which has inherent advantages in the experience of start-stop and start-up, and the additional torque and power provided by the motor can supplement the clearance of the internal combustion engine and the gearbox in terms of characteristics, so that the experience under various working conditions and speeds can reach the "quiet and far-reaching" style of Buick.
In terms of handling, Oncovi S shows excellent comprehensive quality under the blessing of excellent powertrain, especially in terms of cornering support and chassis filtering, of course, in any case, Oncway S is the quietest of the three.
The interior design is technologically luxurious, and some talent is innate
If the comparison of the power part is unexpected, then back in the car, the comparison of interior and configuration is not yet the answer.
The CR-V that first played is still facing the same problem as the power part: it is too old, the time will soon come to 2022, such a hollow instrument panel design and screen specifications, is really not related to the "sense of technology". But there are exceptions to everything, and the older friends around me still retain their preference for physical buttons and simple interiors. Coupled with the huge reputation and basic market, the stability of sales may affect Tomoto's enthusiasm for interior upgrades.
Compared with CR-V, the changes in Tanyue are more in line with the times. The new digital design style reveals a bit of the past, but as soon as you see the buttons and knobs in the gear bar area, you can immediately recognize that this is a Volkswagen. But if you have seen the real thing, everyone will have to marvel at the fact that the public is too precise in cost control, and the texture of the physical object is quite the taste of the buyer's show. But after all, it is a mass production, and it will not let people catch a particularly significant shortcoming.
In contrast, the Oncovi S gives people the same feeling as the impact on the mid-size SUV market at the beginning of the listing of Oncovi. Hard plastic materials are hardly visible throughout the central control area, and the hugging atmosphere is vividly reflected on the screen tilted towards the driver.
There are obvious differences in the interior style of the three cars, in terms of luxury and sense of technology, Oncovi S and Tanyue are better shaped, of which OncoveY S is more comprehensive and solid.
Summary: I am very happy that today, 200,000 yuan can also be "picked and picked" under the conditions of the joint venture mid-size SUV. In the past, the needs of car buyers were often compromised to the needs of families, and the "motivation" was often the first personalized need to be sacrificed. In today's market, manufacturers compete in how to provide better products at a lower price, which is also a benefit for consumers. In fact, satisfying oneself and satisfying one's family is not a paradox, today's three cars are the best in the same class, there is no wrong choice, only misplaced supply and demand matching.
