"To buy a car is to buy a big", "to buy a big thing is to look good, there is an aura", this concept of "taking the big as the beauty" seems to have been deeply rooted in the thinking of the older generation. Why do so many consumers prefer large-sized models? On the one hand, it is large in space and comfortable to sit on; on the other hand, the model is imposing and it is easier to highlight the status of wealth. That Xiaobian today to recommend two large-sizeD SUVs, a joint venture, an independent, to see which one is more favored by you?
The first model: GAC Trumpchi GS8
Recommended model: 2022 Dual Engine Series 2.0TM 2WD Premium Edition (7-seater)
Guidance price: 228,800 yuan
As the saying goes, "the influence is not enough, the product power is made up", the product strength of the independent brand has been gradually improved, but limited by the brand influence, there are still many consumers who do not trust the strength of the independent brand. But today is different from the past, some models of independent brands are really not worse than joint venture models, and the second-generation Trumpchi GS8 is a good example.
In terms of appearance and styling, the second-generation GS8 has become more youthful, whether it is the dark green color matching, or the exaggerated chrome grille, which has increased a lot of visual impact, atmosphere and not old-fashioned.
Compared with the first generation of GS8, the body size of the current GS8 has been extended, and the visual effect of the whole vehicle is more domineering. The body size of the whole vehicle is: 5015/1950/1780mm, wheelbase is 2920mm, the large space size plus the 7-seat seat layout, don't say pull miss sister in the New Year, pull on the seven aunts and eight aunts are not in the word.
It is said that the independent brand "low price and high match", in the design of the interior, the independent brand is still quite hard. The second-generation GS8 adopts a 12.3 LCD dashboard + 14.6 central control screen combination, with dual color-block seats, so that the interior of the car has more business atmosphere, but it is not rigid.
In terms of power, the second-generation GS8 adopts a 2.0T engine + Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, with a maximum torque of 320N·m, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC per 100 kilometers is only 5.3L. The second-generation Trumpchi GS8 is also the first self-brand model equipped with Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, which can really make it more confident.
The second paragraph: Honda Crown Road
Recommended model: 2020 240TURBO two-wheel drive comfort version
Guidance price: 239,800 yuan
Which model looks the most powerful in the Honda family's SUV camp? That is undoubtedly the crown road. In terms of appearance, the crown road adopts a banner grille, with dense multi-width wheels, and the overall visual effect is more atmospheric.
Looking at the space performance, the body size of the crown road is: 4858/1942/1670mm, the wheelbase is 2820mm, the wide seat design is matched with the flat rear floor platform, so that the rear space of the crown road is more spacious, whether it is the legs of the stilt erlang or Ge You, it is not at all.
The interior design of Guandao will be relatively conservative compared to the exterior. The symmetrical center console panel, embedded with an 8-inch central control screen, although practical enough, but the visual effect of the small screen is still a little worse, not as visual impact as the large screen.
In the power part, the Crown Road is equipped with a 1.5T engine, matching the CVT stepless transmission, and the smoothness of driving is more prominent. Moreover, Honda is also jokingly called "buying an engine to send a car", and the leather and durable engine also reduces the maintenance pressure of many cars in the later stage. Guandao's NEDC has a combined fuel consumption of 7.3L per 100 km, and in the face of rising oil prices, low fuel consumption seems to be more attractive than high power.
On the whole, the cost performance of Trumpchi GS8 will be relatively higher than that of Guandao, whether it is space or power, it has a good performance, but if it comes to brand influence and retention rate, then Guandao is still more advantageous. If it were you, would you choose joint venture or autonomy?
