The entry-level models launched by Japanese brands in China, their main sales products are Toyota's Zhixuan, Honda's Fit and Nissan's Qida, but because the size of Nissan Qida is slightly larger, it has formed a phenomenon of "dislocation competition" in this price point and level, but this does not mean that Nissan Qida has formed a "crushing" advantage compared to Toyota Zhixuan and Honda Fit.
At this level and price, how to choose these three cars?
Appearance and space are the priorities of this level
As an entry-level model for home transportation, users who buy this level are often women, who may not have much demand for power, and space and appearance are the items they think about the most.
After several rounds of reforms, Nissan Qida as a whole looks like a "thin" body, not as rounded as the previous old model, more is to add some personalized feelings, catch up with the trend but abandon their own heart, personally think that the old Nissan Qida seems to look better.
In terms of size, the Nissan Qida has a length, width and height of 4393 mm, 1766 mm and 1539 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700 mm, which is larger than the rivals Honda Fit and Toyota Zhixuan at this price point. It should be noted that the reference for this comparison is the price, so in the case of the same price point, Nissan Qida can only buy the secondary low-end version, while Honda Fit and Toyota Zhixuan are top-matched.
The situation of Toyota Zhixuan is not much different from that of Nissan Qida, and after the rebranding, the new Toyota Zhixuan does not have the distinct feeling of personality as before, especially the treatment of the old face black like two whiskers, and the new model looks mediocre a lot. However, the new Toyota Zhixuan has added a very personalized appearance color, which is also a kind of compensation.
In terms of size, Toyota Zhixuan's length, width and height are 4160 mm, 1720 mm and 1520 mm, and the wheelbase is 2550 mm, which is a very typical size in this price point, not large, to meet daily use, but do not fantasize about how good the space performance is.
Honda Fit as a newly updated product, the new Fit can be said to be a complete change, abandoning the previous small eyes and small nose shape, to the eyes to come to a plastic surgery, replaced by a very "net red" style of big eyes, and then with a two-color body, attracting young people to buy a point is all in place.
In terms of size, honda fit length, width and height are 4090 mm, 1725 mm and 1567 mm, the wheelbase is 2530 mm, which is the smallest of the three vehicles, but thanks to Honda's "space magic", fit's spatial performance is definitely not inferior to the other two opponents, which can be said to be the spatial performance of this level benchmark.
The appearance of the three cars has its own characteristics, if you like the style of young sports, then Honda Fit is definitely the best choice, if there is a relatively large pursuit of space and a limited budget, then Nissan Qida can be given priority, do not care about space or personality, only the pursuit of moderate users recommended to consider Toyota Zhixuan.
The power gap is not large, and it is enough to meet the demand
As an entry-level product, the power level of the three cars is basically at the same level, but it is a little different in actual driving.
All three vehicles use naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines, matched with cVT stepless transmissions, the Nissan Qi has a displacement of 1.6 liters, a maximum power of 90 kW, and a peak torque of 155 Nm; Toyota Zhixuan uses a 1.5-liter engine with a maximum power of 82 kW and a peak torque of 139 Nm; Honda Fit is slightly special, it is the only engine in the three vehicles that uses direct injection fuel supply, with a maximum power of 96 kW and a peak torque of 155 Nm.
At first glance, the power gap between the three vehicles is not too big, but the honda fit engine is indeed the most eye-catching from the parameter point of view, because it uses a direct injection fuel supply method, and with a weight of 1144 kg, making the Honda Fit feel the most enough to push the back when driving up; Toyota Zhixuan's body is lighter than Honda's Fit, but unfortunately its engine is one of the most "weak chickens", causing Toyota Zhixuan to always feel less breath when driving up; Nissan Qida's engine and vehicle weight maintain a balance. Home is definitely the number one choice.
The personality performance of the three cars in terms of power is also obvious, honda fit power is good, suitable for fierce driving; Toyota Zhixuan power is the most "weak", only suitable for leisurely driving; Nissan Qida's power is the most moderate, since living is not a problem. But in general, the power of the three cars is not much different in actual use, like which to buy which one.
The configuration gap is obvious, and a penny does not necessarily cost you money
In terms of configuration, there are large differences between the three vehicles.
Because Nissan Qida does not belong to this level, it is only the second lowest, while Toyota Zhixuan and Honda Fit are completely top-matched, but there are completely different user treatment on these two top-end models.
The price of Honda Fit top is 108,800, the price of Toyota Zhixuan is 103,800, the difference between the two cars is 5,000 yuan, the price of the two cars is basically flat after the discount, but the Honda Fit compared to Toyota Zhixuan has more head air curtains, lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance system and active braking system, while the instrument panel is also full LCD, there is also a PM2.5 purification device in the car, the opening of the headlights has also become automatic, and the near and far lights also have adaptive functions.
Overall, honda fit advantages are stronger power, higher configuration and cute body shape; Toyota Zhixuan's set of moderate performance, but in the configuration is indeed inferior to Honda Fit; Nissan Qida has a larger wheelbase and a larger body, is the best space model in the three cars, but because it is an entry-level version, the configuration is slightly lower, can only meet the basic daily use, the cost performance is relatively high.
If I stand in my own point of view, I will choose Honda Fit, if I pursue space, I will choose Nissan Qida, as for toyota Zhixuan, I may consider it last.
