Recently, my 20W year-end bonus has been handed out, and I want to catch up with a medium-sized luxury SUV before the New Year, with a budget of about 45W, which is not harsh on the requirements of the vehicle. First, the space should be large, and the family will be more comfortable sitting in the back row. Second, because I usually like picnics and outings, plus my girlfriend's hometown is Linyi Mountain, the performance of the vehicle is more tested. Therefore, the four-wheel drive function of the vehicle should be strong enough.
In the past few days, I have watched BMW X3, Audi Q5L and Mercedes-Benz GLC. First of all, for the X3, its rear space is relatively cramped, and the overall practicality is not strong. For the Mercedes-Benz GRC, although it is luxurious enough, the interior design is too flashy. The overall feeling of audi Q5L is not bad, and later a friend recommended the new Range Rover Evoque L, and the initial understanding on the Internet is also correct. Therefore, I have conducted an in-depth experience and test drive of these two models, tried the Audi Q5L, and then tried the new Range Rover Evoque L, and found that the gap between the two models is still very large, and let's talk about the different feelings about them.
First of all, for the appearance of the 22 Audi Q5L, its front face is not only delicate and stylish, but also blackened grille, coupled with sharp headlights, creating a very strong visual impact. For its body side, it can be said that it has a sporty and healthy posture, the only fly in the ointment is the combination of the rear and the roof, the performance is not so sharp, there is a sense of roundness and moderation.
In terms of size, the audi Q5L has a length of 4770mm, the width of the car is 1893mm, and the wheelbase is 2907mm, not only the size looks very bright, and the space performance is also satisfactory, my 183 head sits in the rear row, there is a distance of three fists in the legs, the head has a margin of nearly one punch, the seat cushion is soft and hard, and the comfort performance is acceptable.
In terms of power, what I tested was a high-power version of the 2.0T. Wet dual-clutch transmission mated to 7DCT. Sales says its zero-hundred-plus acceleration takes just 6.9 seconds. After actual experience, its throttle response is very positive, and the power is indeed strong enough, even more agile than the Audi A5 I have driven before. Therefore, whether it is a sharp acceleration or a lane change overtaking, I am very confident. For its suspension adjustment, the overall belongs to the hard style, for large bumps and vibrations, can handle very well, but for some fine bumps, but can be obviously transmitted to the car, bringing a bad experience.
Overall, this model is quite satisfactory, but it also has a few points that I don't like, first, the 7DCT transmission, which feels a bit unkind to a model of more than 40W. After all, most of the other opponents are 8-speed or 9-speed AT gears. Second, its rear seat backrest angle is relatively straight, and can not be adjusted, long-distance riding is easy to fatigue. Third, when reversing into the garage or moving the car, frequently switch forward and backward gears, and its gearbox will be delayed, which is not good enough.
Let's take a look at the new Range Rover Evoque L, which can be said to be very novel in terms of appearance, first of all, it inherits the hardcore style of the Land Rover family, and then integrates new fashion and trends, and even has a concept car feeling. And for its body exterior paint, the manufacturer can be said to be painstaking, using a variety of colors, especially the version of Belvia green, which looks both elegant and luxurious.
In terms of size, although its length is less than 4.6m, the width of the car is more than 1.9m, and the wheelbase length is 2841mm. Compared with the previous generation of models, it has been lengthened by 160mm in length and wheelbase. According to the sales introduction, the length of 125mm was added to the legroom of the second row of passengers, the length of 10mm was increased to the backrest adjustment, and the length of 25mm was added to the trunk.
Through the actual experience, its rear space is also good enough, but the headroom is relatively inferior to the Audi Q5L. Of course, it is gratifying that its rear backrest supports a large adjustment, and it is still electric, which is more luxurious than Mercedes-Benz and Audi, even if it is a long-distance driving, you can adjust the sitting posture at any time, and the comfort is not reduced.
Powered, it has a high-power version of 2.0T, with 249 hp and 365 Nm peak torque, mated to a 9AT gearbox, and boasts an acceleration of 8.2 seconds. After the actual experience, although it is not as fast as the Audi Q5L power, it also has a passionate performance, which is more than enough for home use. And its suspension tuning strikes an excellent balance between comfort and sport. For the fine vibration, the filtration is very crisp, even if it is a fierce driving, the roll is within the controllable range, and the driving is very confident.
During the test drive, when I asked the female sales who accompanied the driver, how did the car's off-road ability perform? She threw me straight out of the car and told me to take a few steps back. At first, I didn't know what it meant, but then she sat in the driver's seat and drove straight up the front steps, which really shocked me. Later, the sales also introduced that although this model is an urban SUV, it is equipped with off-road mode and snow mode, and also has a rear axle differential lock, which has a stronger off-road ability than the same level of BBA. In addition, it is equipped with an all-terrain feedback system and "perspective chassis" technology including 360-degree panoramic images, a series of hard-core configurations that lay the foundation for its strong off-road capabilities.
Through the actual experience, I feel that both models have their own advantages, and each has its own attraction to me, for the Audi Q5L, its advantages are relatively concentrated, such as power and space are its strengths. For the new Range Rover Evoque L, its advantages are more comprehensive, not only tough, luxurious interior, spacious, powerful, but also has a stronger off-road capability, after all, its maximum wading depth of up to 600mm, can easily complete light or moderate off-road. For me personally, it is obviously more in line with my positioning and can create more practical value for my life. So, I'm ready to get a new Range Rover Evoque L, what do you think about that?
