The hardest riddle in the world is how other people's money is earned. At the end of each year is the peak period of car purchase, the recent consultation of 30-40 million SUV people are particularly many, envy to share 3 models with everyone, basically closed eyes will not be wrong.
Ford Explorer
Market guidance price: 30.98-39.98 million
The Ford Explorer is an SUV that is difficult to avoid at this price point, and the rich configuration certainly allows the experience to be cost-effective, but it does not touch the core competitiveness of the explorer. It is positioned in a medium and large SUV, the body length, width and height are 5075x2004x1778mm, the wheelbase is 3025mm, which is attractive to friends who like big cars, but today it is mainly said that its mechanical texture.
The Ford Explorer is powered by a 2.3T engine with a maximum horsepower of 276 hp and a peak torque of 425 Nm, with a 10-speed automatic transmission in the transmission section. The chassis part adopts the independent suspension of the front connecting rod pillar (also called the double ball spring shock absorbing pillar suspension, and the BMW X3 adopts the front suspension of the same structure) and the rear multi-link independent suspension. All three look and feel very good.
The Ford Explorer measured 100 km/h acceleration of 7.4 seconds, measured 100 km average fuel consumption of 10.7L, for a body length of more than 5 meters, empty car mass of about 2 tons of medium and large SUVs, such results have been enough as a selling point and people to tell. The most critical thing is that this generation of Ford Explorers returns to the longitudinal rear-drive platform, so compared with the mid-sized and large-sized SUVs of the front-drive platform, it has higher handling, more flexible posture, and opens more like a medium-sized SUV.
Connecting rod pillar independent suspension can provide better athleticity than McPherson suspension, which is also a mechanical advantage to improve the handling and dynamic performance of the Ford Explorer, we have test driven through a variety of road conditions, driving on urban roads, highways, winding roads, wild roads, Ford Explorer's sense of driving, passability are beyond expectations, mechanical performance is remarkable.
Although the Ford Explorer has a wheelbase of 3025mm, the third row of seat space is not as spacious as expected, and the skinny adults sitting in it also have some suffocation, which is more suitable for teenagers under the age of fifteen. And such a space is also obtained by reducing the width and thickness of the seat, so it leads to another problem that cannot be ignored, that is, all the seats and comforts of the explorer are not related, the front seats are difficult to find a suitable sitting angle, the second row of seats is narrow, and slightly strong people sit up, they have to endure the squeeze of the seat belt buckle on the legs, and the seat has little tolerance for people of different sizes.
In addition, it is not recommended to buy a pure rear-drive Ford Explorer, even if you like it very much, do not buy, for well-known reasons, the back-drive car lacks practicality in specific environments and weather, and the explorer is a large SUV, which will further amplify the shortcomings of pure rear-drive, even in normal environments and road conditions, stability and safety are always tested, so the budget is enough on the four-wheel drive, the budget is not enough to change a choice.
Audi Q5L 40T
Market guidance price: 39.68-42.26 million yuan
Even if the preferential range is relatively large, within 400,000, it can only land on the Audi Q5L 40T, but the 5 models on sale are enough to meet the needs of many riders. Although the Audi Q5L is a luxury mid-size SUV that everyone knows and can be seen everywhere, it has a "hidden advantage" that few people know, and it is also an advantage that is focused on sharing with everyone. This is the zero ratio: the total price of all the cars carried on a car, divided by its market guidance price X100%, the zero ratio directly determines the cost of car maintenance in the later stage of the car, especially after the real luxury car owner will find that the later maintenance is the big head.
Compared with the same level of luxury medium-sized SUVs, the audi Q5L zero ratio is 479.21%, the Mercedes-Benz GLC zero ratio is 615.21%, and the BMW X3 zero ratio is 700.69%, which means that the whole car parts are replaced again, the Audi Q5L of 396,800 yuan needs 1.9 million, the Mercedes-Benz GLC of 399,800 yuan needs 2.46 million, and the BMW X3 of 392,800 yuan needs 2.75 million yuan.
Of course, no one will do this, but after the warranty period is also the time when the state of the vehicle is gradually declining, the frequency of replacement of later parts will gradually accelerate, the probability of maintenance will increase, even if the first owner does not want to have a high post-cost, in contrast, Audi Q5L has a clear advantage in price and car maintenance costs, which is also a lot of Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X3 owners feel that it is difficult to maintain a car, and audi Q5L lacks similar recognition of the key points.
There are also disadvantages, 2.0T engine maximum horsepower of 190 hp, peak torque of 320 Nm, measured 100 km acceleration time of about 9 seconds, measured 100 km fuel consumption of about 9.6L, can be seen as high fuel consumption weak power, fuel consumption and put again, power performance is not as good as some compact and medium-sized domestic SUVs, so that the human body will not be able to understand the mechanical texture of luxury brands, more from the brand itself to give the spiritual enjoyment.
In addition, the engine burns oil, the problem of double-clutch transmission instability, although greatly reduced in the current Audi car, but not completely eliminated, of which there are many Audi Q5L owners for this complaint and rights protection, although it has been regarded as a small probability of failure, but it really happens enough to be upset, so this is a problem of tolerance and choice, but in the range of 30-40 million, how can the Audi Q5L get around it?
Land Rover Discovery Sport
Market guidance price: 35.68-45.58 million
From Land Rover's own point of view, one of the biggest problems it is now encountering is that car owners generally feel good, and Internet people feel that the brand is a mess. I live in a third-tier provincial capital city in the northwest, although the economy is not good, but the ownership of Land Rover makes the BBA manufacturers who pass through here have to be amazed, and the coal bosses and oil bosses used to buy Land Rovers, almost according to the number of family population.
So we can see the old Land Rover N years ago everywhere here, very energetic, and frequent in the Mausu Desert. With a budget of 300,000-400,000, Land Rover found that the sports version is naturally worth exploring, according to the current dealer quotation, 455,800 top-of-the-line models can also land within 400,000, and the cost-effective advantage is obvious. Although Land Rover has begun to transform urban SUVs in recent years, the intelligent all-terrain feedback adaptation system at the bottom of the pressure box asks which luxury car brand can compete with it?
Because of this system, Land Rover Discovery Sport has 6+1 driving modes, including comfort, mud/ruts, dynamic, grass/gravel/snow, sand, energy saving and automatic mode, which can be manually adjusted, and the system can also monitor the current driving situation and automatically select a more suitable driving mode. Therefore, it can not only compare with the BMW X3 in road performance, but also sprinkle joy in the wild that opponents can't reach, and the owner can get a richer car experience, which is the core advantage of Land Rover Discovery Sports.
In addition to the comprehensive ability of the whole road condition, Land Rover found that the power of the sport version is also good, the 2.0T engine has high and low power, low power maximum horsepower of 200 horses, peak torque of 320 Nm, on the starting model, this is not recommended. The rest of the models are equipped with high-power engines, the maximum horsepower is 249 horses, the peak torque is 365 Nm, the transmission part is a 9-speed manual transmission, the measured 8.5 seconds can break the hundred, the measured 100 kilometers of fuel consumption is about 10.4L, can not be said to be excellent but not bad.
Disadvantages naturally also have, Land Rover found that the sport version of the suspension comfort is indeed not high enough, although it is the front McPherson, rear multi-link independent suspension, but in order to support the strength of the sacrificial comfort, fish and bear paw can not have both; the gearbox gear, but the upshift is relatively slow and low-speed frustration is obvious, the utilization of power is not high enough, which is why the power parameters are high, but the acceleration ability can only be compared with the low-power BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC.
These three SUVs have their own strengths, so we will not do a comparative summary, and finally want to say that car reviewers are generally recommended according to the advantages of the vehicle, whether to start must follow the actual needs of you, from personal preferences, uses and understanding of the car, no matter what the price of the car, it is recommended to test drive, more cultivate the feelings between people and cars, more communication with other owners, after the advantages and disadvantages are thoroughly explored, and then look at whether the advantages of the vehicle can meet their own, whether the shortcomings can be tolerated by themselves, Buy a car this way without regret.
