Easy car original domestic SUV market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, if you want to spend about 200,000 budget, buy a large space high-value SUV, the best-selling Volkswagen Tuyue and Dongfeng Honda CR-V these two cars are good choices, but in these two models how to choose? My colleagues Teacher Zhang and Teacher Li gave completely different answers, but if I were to choose, I would also support Teacher Zhang's point of view and choose Tuyue.
200,000 budget, in the model selection, I chose to use SAIC Volkswagen 2021 Tuyue 330TSI four-wheel drive deluxe version (hereinafter referred to as Tuyue), manufacturer guidance price of 208,800 yuan; to compare the 2021 Dongfeng Honda CR-V 240TURBO two-wheel drive black jazz version (hereinafter referred to as CR-V), manufacturer guidance price of 211,800 yuan.
Appearance comparison
In terms of appearance, Tuyue has a rare hardcore style in the same level of models. This design imitates the big brother Tu Ang, and the overall shape is very hard and imposing. Compared with the personalized shape of CR-V, Tuyue is more calm and atmospheric, of which the grille looks full of movement, the square headlights on both sides are full LED light sources, in addition, Tuyue also has an automatic headlight function, and the technology content is higher.
Teacher Zhang is very fond of the exterior design of Tuyue, a large number of flat lines make the overall body have a very hard style, and the concave and convex waist line can improve the liveliness of the model. It is worth mentioning that the exhaust layout of the tail side of the two sides, as well as the prismatic exhaust pipe shape, are very attractive.
Teacher Li believes that the overall shape of CR-V is very rounded, compared with the layered layers of the old model, this soft and dynamic design is very compatible with my personal aesthetic. Relative to the softness of the front and body, the rear part of the car is slightly sharp, the taillights use L-shaped design, the recognition is very high, the two taillights are interspersed with chrome strips, and the rear bumper is decorated with chrome, if not enough, the exhaust uses a hidden layout.
In my opinion, the advantage of Tuyue is not in the exterior interior level, but in terms of cost performance and performance, first of all, the Tuyue in the range of about 200,000 is with a four-wheel drive system, and through the ability of Tuyue must be better than CR-V, and secondly, in terms of terminal price, Tuyue also has more advantages than CR-V.
Interior contrast
In terms of interior, Tuyue's interior design is very exquisite, using a three-spoke multi-functional steering wheel design, and the center console uses a dual-color design, which makes the interior more stylish. The 9.2-inch multimedia screen supports multimedia applications such as CarPlay and Carlife. And I have to say that Tuyue's design sense on the seat, seat support and wrapping are very good, and equipped with front and rear high and low adjustment, waist support adjustment, front seat heating function.
CR-V after the replacement of the quality of a lot of improvement, the use of three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, LCD screen is used is a 5-inch screen, although not large, but the surrounding function buttons can allow the driver to better blind operation, the overall workmanship is also good, there are two air outlets at the top of the screen. Cr-V seats are relatively thick, with fabric padding, seat wrapping and comfort are very good, and the seats are equipped with high and low adjustment functions.
Teacher Zhang's vision is indeed unique, in terms of data, Tuyue length and width are 4453/1841/1632mm, and the wheelbase is 2680mm, which seems to be inferior in size to CR-V. The CR-V measures 4621/1855/1679mm with a wheelbase of 2661mm. However, in terms of actual riding space, Tuyue is better than CR-V, and the riding space is also better than CR-V.
In terms of the rear row, Tuyue's riding space and comfort level are still better than CR-V, sometimes don't look at the appearance and size of some models seem to be not small, but the actual interior space, or to experience their own to be the most real, this case is so.
Dynamic comparison
Tuyue is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum output of 137 kW, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with a maximum torque output of 320 N·m, while the CR-V is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum output of 142 kW, which is matched with a CVT transmission.
Born on the MQB platform, Tuyue adopts the form of front-facing or four-wheel drive, the front suspension adopts McPherson-style independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension, the minimum ground clearance is 1502mm, and it has a four-wheel drive system.
The CR-V uses a front-drive drive form, which can be more difficult when facing unpaved roads during the road. The front suspension section is McPherson and the rear suspension is multi-link.
Throwing aside the data to see the reality, the 2.0T engine equipped by Tuyue's car is more direct in terms of power output, and the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is also very responsive, and the setback between the gears is small. The most important point is that Tuyue is equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system, using BorgWarner's multi-piece clutch full-time four-wheel drive, which will normally distribute the power in the proportion of the previous 95% and then 5%, and in extreme cases, it can achieve 50% of the power distribution before and after.
If you talk about the driving level, Tuyue is even better than cr-V, regardless of the power level, the chassis texture is not at the same level. But cr-V is not completely without advantages, CR-V matching CVT gearbox, although there is no athletic ability to speak of, but at least in the "smooth" degree CVT gearbox must be ahead of other types of gearboxes.
Editor's comments: Tuyue's driving experience is biased towards calm and comfortable, but it has a certain sporty performance, and the overall feeling gives people a very solid feeling, which is also a major advantage of German cars. Overall, Tuyue is an SUV with a relatively balanced performance in all aspects, coupled with the blessing of BorgWarner's full-time four-wheel drive system, it can be easily coped with when going out for occasional outings and camping. The CR-V does belong to a remarkable model in the same class, but there seems to be a gap between the cost performance and Tuyue.
