Some netizens asked: I plan to spend more than 200,000 yuan to buy a large joint venture SUV a few years ago, but after searching on a vertical website, I am dumbfounded, not to mention the good or bad models in the mouth of relatives and friends, the scoring is almost the same, and one of the cars with a lot of slots is actually among the best. As an ordinary user who does not know much about cars, what points should be focused on when choosing a car?
With the experience of big brother immersion in the car circle for more than ten years, the netizen's question is actually quite representative. Most of them are no longer young friends at the age of 20, with small careers, and have a clearer preference for brand and design, while the priority of the keyword "sense of high-end" is generally higher than that of trendy electronic devices such as large screens and smart cars. Frankly, when it comes to this kind of question, the answer is often less black and white, nor can it be explained in one sentence or two. But don't worry, Brother Rong, I said slowly.
Don't take the book data too seriously
Data comparison is a must for most people before buying a car, after all, the body size is placed there in black and white, and it takes a few minutes to check it at a glance. But the problem is that "building area" and "area inside the suite" are not the same thing! Therefore, in recent years, there are often car companies that talk about wheelbase, implying that a certain product has the largest space in the same class of cars.
Big Brother has to apologetically inform you that the wheelbase indicator cannot be fully trusted. For example, a certain German high-end brand known for driving pleasure, the wheelbase is mainly between the front wheels and the cockpit, which can be described as a cup of water to help improve the riding space. Therefore, if you want to sit comfortably, the key is to look at the "room rate" and "apartment type".
This matter can once be judged by experience, for example, Japanese cars are generally good at "stealing space", while Most Of the American cars are "thick skin and small filling", and the waste of space is quite serious, but now it is easy to beat the face by regenerating and moving hard sets. Taking the Toyota Highlander as an example, the size parameters of the new generation of models listed last year are better than those of the old model, but the front of the car is lengthened to improve the crash safety performance, so users generally complain that its interior space is not as good as the old model. On the contrary, Buick Encore Plus, who came from the United States, hid a small surprise and broke the old concept of "low home acquisition rate" of American cars with an external size that was not dominant.
And then again, the size difference of a few centimeters can indeed be exchanged for a crushing advantage on the compact family car, but for the players whose size exists at the top of the medium-sized SUV camp (the length is about 4.8 meters), it may just be a small matter of changing the body line or even the bumper skin, there is no need to be too real. Taking a step back, what is the difference between the two players who scored 92 and 95 points in spatial performance at the perceptual level?
But Big Brother is not encouraging you to close your eyes and smoke one, on the contrary, instead of tangling with book data, it is better to go to the 4S store. Take a test drive, and you will naturally have a number in mind.
Pay more attention to the parts you can't see
In the matter of car building, the size of the space in the car is only the most basic "pediatrics", and the excessive "stacking" for the exquisite sense of interior is just a small cleverness of opportunism, and the real strength is always reflected in the places you can't see and touch, such as the sense of high-grade brought by driving quality.
When it comes to propaganda words such as sportiness and driving pleasure, I am afraid that only a few people can accurately get the meaning of it. But the perception of driving quality is different, even if the car white who has not obtained a driver's license, he can still be self-taught. For example, isolated from the noisy quiet carriage outside the world, the road bumps one by one ironed flat chassis, these subjective feelings may be difficult to express clearly in language or data, but as long as the car moves, everyone will come up with an answer that is inseparable from each other.
It is no exaggeration to say that this sense of luxury is definitely a pile of money, to be precise, it is piled up by decades of experience, and the new brand that has just started can't really learn. Cars of the same size, some only sell for tens of thousands of yuan, some dare to bid several times the price, not what "only pit rich people", with this confidence - the pursuit of high quality is the inevitable result of consumption progress, and most of this group will be more generous.
Speaking of which, some friends will think of the masses who were once pushed to the altar. In fact, it really has no advantage in this regard, "chassis tough" in the first-class road conditions in the German hometown works, but for most of the Chinese people, it is just a euphemism for the upside down. What about Japanese cars? They are indeed quite competent as family cars, fuel-saving and reliable, but even in the second-tier luxury brands of Lexus, the thin chassis texture is still grooved. As for the American car, it also has to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, such as Ford is a bit unremarkable, there is no outstanding memory point, and Buick's reputation in sound insulation and shock absorption has always been outstanding, and the chassis tuning style that was too soft in the early years no longer exists.
In the case of Oncove Plus, in addition to a large number of physical sound insulation measures throughout the carriage, even the interior materials that are rarely paid attention to by general car companies have also introduced a silent process, and the ANC active noise reduction technology jointly developed with Bose has brought more quietness than the same level of cabin. There are also many remarkable points in terms of comfort, such as the four-link rear suspension through the connecting rod bushing and the subframe bushing for two-stage vibration filtering, and the new generation of CDC full-time active hydraulic damping system can even adjust the damping force of the shock absorber in real time according to road conditions and driving style. The most intuitive feeling is that while providing a comfortable driving experience, it also energy-efficiently suppresses the excess shaking of the body and makes the driving posture more solid.
Obviously, this active vibration damping system also has a considerable improvement in vehicle handling performance. But in Big Bago's experience, the typical user of a mid-size SUV has no interest in this extra information, so you just have to remember that the Oncovi Plus is easy enough to drive.
For example, the medium-sized SUV with a length of about 4.8 meters on the market, let alone twenty or thirty models, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, with the increase of the budget, the focus of the target user is also gradually transitioning from space and interior materials to brand, exterior interior design, and the driving quality that Big Brother will immediately mention - after all, the pursuit of high-quality groups, usually have more money on hand.
This is actually a perfectly normal evolution of consumption. If everyone buys a car and only looks at space, the earth should have been the world of vans long ago. But why not? Noisy and bumpy, no grade!
Power-hungry metaphysics
For real users who vote with their wallets, the power specifications are naturally one of the key assessment items. There is nothing wrong with this general direction, but the big brother once again has a friendly reminder: don't get on the "keyboard man" set! 99% of users will never have the opportunity to play the horsepower numbers on the datasheet, nor do they need to make the same zero hundred acceleration results, so in line with the principle of sufficiency, focus on the affinity of daily working conditions.
Of course, how to define "enough" is a metaphysics. For example, the power and torque indicators of Ford Sharp Are both top-notch, but the peak torque does not appear until 2500rpm, and the gearbox basically does not exceed 2000rpm when driving daily, and the number cannot be played out. In addition, it is widely reported that the actual fuel consumption of Ford's 2.0T engine is significantly higher.
Tiguan L is a counterexample, although the power index is at the bottom, but thanks to the structural advantages of the dual-clutch transmission, the speed performance is the most refreshing of these cars. As for the overheating problem of the gearbox that many friends have a grudge against, in fact, it has long been the past tense, but the gear shift jitter of the low-speed congestion condition is afraid that it cannot be changed, which is also limited by structural characteristics and has no solution. How to choose between efficiency and smoothness is really a headache.
In contrast, Highlander's THS hybrid system is indeed a bit fragrant, the fuel consumption is low, and there is no noise when driving at low speed pure electricity. As for the fact that the high-speed power is slightly weaker, the key depends on how you think, in the current situation of speed probes, running slow point is not a disadvantage. But there is a detailed account do not know whether you have calculated, if the average annual mileage is not high, the advantages of hybrid may not be reflected - 100 kilometers to save 2 liters of oil, 10,000 kilometers to save 200 liters, equivalent to 1500 yuan, when to buy a car to spend tens of thousands of dollars when to earn back?
Compared with coming and going, Oncovi Plus is more in line with the principle of "enough". Some people say that the pattern of 48V light mix is not as good as Toyota THS, but compared with a number of opponents who stay in the "old" pure oil drive, can you say that its technical content is not good? The efficiency of the LSY series of new generation 2.0T gasoline engine is not bad, coupled with the obvious burden reduction effect of 48V light mix on low-speed driving, you can intuitively feel that the engine noise is smaller, the throttle is more brisk and agile, and the shifting smoothness of the 9-speed automatic transmission is also the most "stable" in the general purpose automatic transmission so far.
As for the comprehensive fuel consumption, y1s1, it is indeed not as exaggerated as highlander, but don't forget the biggest advantage of the 9-speed transmission, is that the high-speed working conditions can effectively control the engine conditions in the low-rpm range, and the fuel consumption may not be lost to toyota hybrids when running long distances! For consumers, the cost increase is not much, but the "curative effect" is quite significant, is this not good?
By the way, the Uncovi Plus 48V light mix also avoids two long-standing flaws in toyota's HTS system: the obvious shaking of the engine when it suddenly intervenes under low-speed conditions, and the frighteningly soft front foot feeling when braking sharply. This may be a bit nitpicky, but from the perspective of creating a sense of driving superiority, the shorter the shortcomings, the better.
Write at the end
A friend said: "But Highlander has a high retention rate!" "That's true, but the problem is in the way of statistics - in order to simplify the workload, the retention rate is calculated according to the manufacturer's suggested retail price." If calculated according to the real transaction price, the gap is afraid that it will be much narrower. Let's take a step back, buying a car is originally a consumption attribute, the focus is on improving the quality of life, if the retention rate is more important than everything, it is better to buy financial products, right?
