For traditional Chinese families, fine play is a compulsory course for car choice, and the core concept of this compulsory course is cost performance, reflected in the actual situation of the vehicle, that is, to have the best fuel economy, has always been, Japan and South Korea models are generally considered to have better performance in terms of economy. At present, the two hottest compact SUVs, Beijing Hyundai ix35 and Nissan Qashqai, are economical and practical best-selling models, and these two models have ushered in their own replacement products, between them, who is more suitable for a new generation of family cars? Let's compare.
In this comparison, Qashqa chose the 2022 2.0L CVT XV Smart Edition priced at 154,900, and the Beijing Hyundai ix35 chose the 2021 240TGDi DCT two-wheel drive TOP flagship version priced at 155,800 for comparison, these two models are the closest in price, but also the best-selling models of their respective brands, and the conclusions of the comparison are more convincing.
Appearance is combat effectiveness
In recent years, both Beijing Hyundai and Dongfeng Nissan have spent a lot of effort on their own products to make more youthful improvements, and now whoever occupies the market of young consumer groups will gain market initiative. In terms of appearance, the appearance of the 2022 Qashqai still continues the design concept of the 2021 model, although it does not look outdated, but the overall body still carries the shadow of many old models, the visual effect is slightly conservative, and it cannot better reflect the spirit of "Generation Z".
On the other hand, Beijing Hyundai ix35 is much better, the upgraded new ix35 exterior design adopts Beijing Hyundai's new perceptual sports family design language, the front face of the air intake grille layout is larger, more visual impact, the two sides of the headlight group and the front surround below full of line sense, so that the overall visual effect is more three-dimensional, coupled with the body side line design and the sports tail above the tail, enough to meet the aesthetics of young consumer groups.
Who is better in configuration?
In terms of configuration, Nissan Qashqai is equipped with reversing images, engine start-stop, uphill assist, keyless entry/start, remote start and other configurations, compared with the same level of models, Qashqai's performance can only be said to be decent, not very ideal, early 100,000 yuan of independent models can easily compare it. The performance of the new ix35 is different, in addition to the above configuration, it also has advanced configurations such as full-speed adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and is lower than the Qashqai in terms of price.
Overall, the new ix35 is clearly better than the Qashqai in terms of the vehicle's active safety configuration. For home users, so many configurations are bound to greatly improve the comfort of the car, but also a cost-effective embodiment, at the same time, the improvement of the active safety configuration of the vehicle will also greatly reduce the driving risk of the people on the car.
Power comparison is more cost-effective to be surging around
Looking at the power level of these two models, the first is the Qashqai, which is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum net power of 103 kW and a peak torque of 194 Nm, matching the CVT gearbox. This powertrain has been used for many years, and the reliability is beyond doubt, but the performance in terms of fuel economy and low-speed power is not satisfactory, especially the experience when the speed is fully loaded, some drag mud with water, comfort is enough, but the speed is slightly insufficient.
The new ix35 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, which also has a maximum net power of 103 kW, but its peak torque is as high as 242 Nm, which means that the new ix35 is on par with Qashqai in terms of power output, but better than Qashqai in terms of explosive power. And it is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with higher transmission efficiency, which improves the performance of the vehicle while further reducing the fuel consumption of the engine.
I have to say that the power units of these two models have their own advantages, friends who like naturally aspirated models can choose Nissan Qashqai, but its technology is slightly backward and the economic performance is general, in the daily car environment is likely to have insufficient power, high fuel consumption problems, and the new ix35 power can perfectly take into account these two points, in the end, the new ix35 is better.
After a comprehensive comparison, Beijing Hyundai's new ix35 has more competitive "best family car" advantages than Nissan Qashqai at all levels, its exterior design is more dynamic and fashionable, more in line with the aesthetics of the younger generation of consumers, the configuration is more abundant and practical and the price of the vehicle is more close to the people, the power system is both efficient and economical, can greatly reduce the cost of the car, such an all-round compact SUV, become a compact SUV benchmark product is not excessive, but nissan Qashqai performance is also good, Because they are all much more decent and reliable than the models of the same class, if you have to choose one or the other, the new ix35 is undoubtedly the winner.
