Before the Spring Festival in 2022, New Year's Day seems to be the last small holiday, three days, not short, not long, for me, it is just possible to take advantage of it and choose the model of my choice. Now I have a Toyota RAV4 in my hand, although it has been driving for three years and has driven nearly 60,000 kilometers, but the car is still in good condition. Despite this, I still want to buy a medium-sized luxury SUV before the New Year, after all, it is more secure in terms of space, and the total budget is in the range of 45 to 50W.
When it comes to luxury brand models, it is necessary to mention the German BBA, which is known as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. Of course, among them, the Mercedes-Benz brand is the representative of luxury cars. Therefore, I have always had a soft spot for mercedes-Benz GRCs. But in addition to it, there is another model that also attracts me, and that is the new Range Rover Evoque L, which was just launched a few months ago. In order to enable yourself to make more reliable choices, leave no regrets. Therefore, during the New Year's Day, I experienced and test-drove these two models one by one, and overall, their differences are still very obvious, and the following is a specific comparison and sharing of their respective performances.
Comparison models: 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 260L 4MATIC Luxury (Guide price: 429,200 yuan) VS 2021 New Range Rover Evoque L 249PS R-Dynamic First edition premiere (guidance price: 429,800 yuan) [Note: The two models involved in the following are based on the models participating in the comparison]
Appearance comparison:
First of all, for the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, in terms of the front face, the performance is mature and stable, but also very exquisite, for its body side, because its car length exceeds 4.7m, the body streamline is very smooth, and the overall performance is both slender and atmospheric. The only fly in the ointment is that the overall performance is too smooth and lacks a bit of hard performance.
For the new Range Rover Aurora L, its front face design has a strong family style, and the overall performance is not only wide and heavy, but also has a strong visual impact. The shape of the side, on the basis of the founder style, incorporates some sharp designs. At the same time, its roof not only adopts the shape of the front high and low back, but also the suspension design, coupled with the processing of color contrast, making it domineering and tough at the same time, full of sport.
Space Competition:
In terms of space, the Mercedes-Benz GLC length, width and height are 4764mm * 1898mm * 1642mm, the wheelbase is 2973mm, after the actual experience, my 183 head, after the front row adjusted the sitting posture, the rear space shows that it is not only enough, but even has reached a more enjoyable realm.
For the new Range Rover Evoque L, its length, width and height are 4531mm*1904mm*1650mm, and the wheelbase is 2841mm. In addition to the advantages of width and height, its length and wheelbase are significantly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz GLC. For the performance of its rear space, although it is not as open as the Mercedes-Benz GLC, it is still very generous, and it can easily the legs of the Erlang, which is not a problem for daily household use.
Power PK:
Powered, the Mercedes-Benz GRC is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 197 hp and a peak torque of 320 Nm. In terms of transmission, the match is the 9AT gearbox. It adopts a full-time four-wheel drive drive mode, with 8.4 seconds of zero hundred acceleration and a top speed of 213 km/h. After the actual experience, although it is a low-power version, the power is not only powerful, but also the output is very linear, which can easily meet the needs of the family.
For the new Range Rover Evoque L, it is also equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, but the power parameters are more powerful, with a maximum horsepower of 249 horses and a peak torque of 365 Nm. The transmission part, also matched is the 9AT gearbox. It uses a timely four-wheel drive drive mode, although it has a larger self-weight, but the zero hundred acceleration is only 8.2 seconds, the top speed can reach 229 km/ h. After actual experience, it does have a stronger explosive force at the beginning, the power output is smooth, almost no sense of the action of shifting gears, and the power performance is more than enough for home use.
Configuration:
In terms of configuration, although the prices of the two models are similar, the overall configuration has different orientations, such as the Mercedes-Benz GRC compared to the new Range Rover Evoque L, which has more: adjustable suspension function, knee airbags in the driver's seat, out-of-air tires, automatic parking function, variable gear ratio steering, and 64 colors of interior mood lights.
Compared with the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the new Range Rover Evoque L not only has more functions: lane departure warning, lane keeping system, road traffic sign recognition, openable panoramic sunroof, active closed air intake grille, leather steering wheel, second row seat power adjustment, WiFi hotspot, streaming media mirrors, car air purifier, in-car PM2.5 filter, negative ion generator and other functions, it also uses larger 20-inch wheels, equipped with steep slope slow drop, rear axle differential lock, As well as a richer and more practical driving mode, after all, it is equipped with off-road and snow modes, which the Mercedes-Benz GLC does not have.
The focus is on the last:
Through the experience and test drive of the two models, I can fully feel that these two models are very outstanding, and have their own attractive places, for the Mercedes-Benz GLC, as a representative of luxury cars, it is whether it is the appearance, interior, space, or in the configuration, etc., are fully highlighted the characteristics of luxury and comfort. For the new Range Rover Evoque L, it pays more attention to the creation of off-road performance on the basis of luxury, such as the shape of the flesh and blood, as well as the hardcore off-road functions, which is obviously more in line with men's taste. For these two models, as far as I am concerned, I feel that it is not that Mercedes-Benz is not strong enough, but that Land Rover is too "hard" this time. So, I'm ready to get a new Range Rover Evoque L. If it were you, how would you choose?
