In the domestic mention of luxury car brands, I believe many people will give priority to Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, there is no doubt that the brand image of BBA is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, driving out is indeed very face-saving, but because of this, it has also led to the BBA brand premium is more serious, take the luxury medium-sized SUVs, like Volvo XC60, Cadillac XT5 The landing price is much lower than the same level of Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3 and Audi Q5L. I myself am a Volvo XC60 owner, bought the 2021 T5 four-wheel drive Zhiyi luxury version, at that time the budget was only 350,000, want to buy X3, Q5L is more difficult, and do not like highlander, Tuon such as ordinary brand SUVs, so I chose XC60.
Now this car has been open for nearly a year, the overall feeling is relatively satisfactory, first of all, its power is very abundant, 2.0T engine maximum 250 horsepower, 100 km acceleration of less than 7 seconds, a foot of throttle down to push the back feeling followed, followed by Volvo's main safety, the car is used in environmentally friendly materials, the new car has no taste, all kinds of driving assistance functions are complete, active braking helped me avoid several rear-end accidents, full speed adaptive cruise is also very good. Of course, there are also places that are not satisfied, I feel that Volvo's interior design is still old-fashioned, not as luxurious as Mercedes-Benz BMW, and the car machine is not very good to use, it is said that the 2022 model has replaced the new car machine system, a little envious.
Some time ago, a friend around also planned to buy a car, the budget of 400,000, let me accompany him to see the car, we both tried this level of luxury SUVs one by one, including Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3, Audi Q5L, Cadillac XT6, Jaguar F-PACE and Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, for other models I actually have too much feeling, because I have also test-driven when I chose a car before, but when I test-drove the Range Rover Evoque, my impression of this car has changed a lot.
Range Rover Evoque in my impression is a more period-sensitive model, when it was first launched, due to its too handsome appearance, the popularity is much higher than that of the same level of BBA, for a long time in a difficult situation to find a car. Later, with the passage of time, everyone gradually has a new definition of luxury cars, such as Volvo, Cadillac, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura are known as "second-tier luxury brands", not everyone's first choice when buying a car, plus many people say that Land Rover has many small problems, so the presence of range Rover Evoque in recent years is not high.
However, this time when I test drove, I found that this car has been replaced, the latest model is called the new Range Rover Evoque L, not only the exterior interior has been upgraded, but also the wheelbase has been lengthened, which is a complete change of blood. Range Rover Evoque was once known as the "most beautiful Land Rover", the most important reason is because its shape design is particularly young and sporty, the unique back shape is always imitated, but never surpassed, this time after seeing the new car, I found its appearance is still particularly attractive, the wide and domineering front face is full of aggression, the side lines are smooth and stretched, the sneakback + suspension roof highlights the sporty nature, the taillights of the transparent shell of the rear part of the car are connected by a penetrating black trim, The large black surround at the bottom and the silver anti-rubbing shield echo the front face, fully showing the sense of wildness and strength that an SUV should have.
Come to the car, compared with XC60, the interior of this Range Rover Aurora L is almost ten years younger, the car gives a total of three large screens, the size of the full LCD dashboard is 12.3 inches, the two central control screens are 10.2 inches, the upper screen is mainly responsible for the setting of vehicle information and multimedia, the lower screen is to adjust the seats and air conditioning, etc., while the car uses a large number of leather packages, the touch is very delicate, the sense of technology and luxury are created in place.
Regarding space, the problem that the old model is often criticized is that the space inside the car is too narrow, so that many people do not recognize the positioning of its medium-sized SUV, in order to solve this shortcoming, the length and wheelbase of the new Range Rover Evoque are increased by 160mm compared with the previous generation, and the wheelbase reaches 2841mm, although the actual riding space is still some gap compared with mercedes-Benz GRC and Audi Q5L, but if it feels slightly larger than volvo XC60, and the softness of the seat is also good, With electric adjustment in the rear and backrest angle adjustment, it's easy to find a comfortable sitting position.
Then there is the performance performance, this car is equipped with a 2.0T engine + 48V mixing system, and is divided into high and low power two kinds of adjustment, the maximum horsepower is 200 horses and 249 horses, matching the 9AT gearbox, from the data point of view completely reached the level of this level, in fact, it is true, a foot of throttle down can feel a strong sense of push back, to the middle and rear section of the power is still continuous, driving up is very easy. In addition, although this car uses a carrier-type body, not a real off-road vehicle, but after all, the blood vessels flow with the genes of Land Rover, the maximum wading depth of 600mm with wading induction system, the second generation of all-terrain feedback adaptation system and the all-terrain "perspective technology" of the 360° all-round body image system, so that this car can also be at ease when dealing with mild off-road.
Summary: After the test drive, I have a new understanding of the new Range Rover Evoque L, its appearance is still very capable of playing now, for young people has an absolute attraction, interior luxury and technology coexist, increase the wheelbase after improving the practicality of the space, at the same time if you want to drive it to the wild can also be handy, is a luxurious big toy, compared to the Volvo main safety, the style is relatively mature and stable, more suitable for middle-aged uncles like me, if you can be ten years younger, then, I'm afraid I'll choose the new Range Rover Evoque L!
