Independent car brands have sought the road of high-end and actively joined the competition of the 200,000-level SUV market, but in terms of current sales performance, the advantages of joint venture brands in this segment are still relatively obvious, especially Ashkenazi and Japanese brands, which are the most popular among consumers. If you have a car purchase budget of about 200,000 yuan, will the following models become your options?
Dongfeng Honda CR-V
Dongfeng Honda CR-V has extraordinary significance for China's SUV market, as an early joint venture SUV that entered the domestic production and sales, the spacious interior space and the high cost performance of the same level make it quickly popular, to a certain extent, to promote the progress and development of China's SUV market. A few days ago, Dongfeng Honda announced that the annual terminal sales of CR-V were 222325 vehicles, which still has a pivotal position in the SUV field. At present, the 2021 models on sale have two powertrains of 1.5T fuel and 2.0L hybrid, as well as new energy models with higher positioning of plug-in hybrids, with a comprehensive layout and a relatively rich choice.
As can be seen from the former enclosed shape and the double C-type headlights, the exterior shape of the CR-V still pays attention to creating a sporty atmosphere, and a large number of chrome elements enhance the sense of fashion. The front of the car is tilted forward at a large angle, the field of view is more open, and the rear of the car is relatively straight, and the space in the car can be fully utilized, reflecting good practicality. In the interior part, the 7-inch LCD screen and the central control screen of the same size do not look grand enough, and after the car networking function, the practical performance in the joint venture models of the same level is not bad, but this function is not the standard of the whole series. The fuel model uses the conventional gear bar, while the hybrid model uses the button electronic gear lever, which is where the interior of the two models is quite different. Although in terms of size parameters, CR-V is not as good as some PLUS and PRO models in its own brands, thanks to the high utilization rate, the rear seating space and trunk space are relatively excellent, and it can easily accommodate the luggage of a family for short-term travel.
FAW Toyota RAV4 was released
FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang has always been Toyota's best-selling SUV model, under the blessing of Toyota's TNGA architecture, the exterior design of RAV4 Rongfang has been greatly changed, changing the low-key and subtle style of the past, revealing a hint of fierceness. The front face adopts a layered air intake grille, and the top of the brand logo is also hollowed out, and the front of the car has a strong three-dimensional sense. The rear part of the car is somewhat similar to the style of the Honda CR-V, the lines are relatively tough, ensuring that the internal space is fully utilized, and the taillights adopt an external convex shape, which has the effect of stretching the transverse vision.
RaV4 Rongfang's interior design style is more traditional, the full LCD dashboard has become almost a luxury on it, only equipped with a 4.2-inch or 7-inch small LCD meter, but it may be good news for friends who like pointer-type instruments. The 8-inch or 10.1-inch central control touch screen is large enough, and it is relatively easy to use, and the whole series is equipped with the Car Networking function as standard, which is worthy of praise, the only fly in the ointment is that the style has a sense of violation, perhaps because the bulge is too high. The RAV4 has a length of 4600mm, which is slightly shorter than the CR-V, but the wheelbase reaches 2690mm, and the interior space performance can also meet daily use. RAV4 Rongfang has 2.0L self-priming pure fuel and 2.5L self-priming oil-electric hybrid two kinds of powertrain, of which the 2.0L engine can burst out of 171 horsepower, enough to cope with daily transportation, and the 2.5L oil-electric hybrid version is not only more powerful, fuel consumption has also been greatly reduced, at the same time, the price has also come to 22.58-25.98 million yuan.
SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L
There is no doubt about the strength of Japanese brands in the field of SUVs, in fact, germans also have excellent models, such as SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L. Volkswagen deliberately avoids the sharp edge of Japanese cars in its product strategy, and the product level division is more detailed, focusing on differentiated competition. From the perspective of product parameters, the positioning of Volkswagen Tiguan L is higher than that of Dongfeng Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 Rongfang, while the price has a large degree of overlap, so there is a direct competitive relationship. Compared with the previous two cars, the appearance of Tiguan L is much more restrained, the front face is still the familiar chrome banner style, and the body is used in many places to create a tough visual effect.
In terms of interior, Tiguan L has kept pace with the times, with a 10.3-inch full LCD dashboard and a 12-inch central control touch screen with a strong sense of technology, and a leather steering wheel with good texture. The overall feeling of the interior is relatively high-grade, and there will be no sense of cheapness. The Tiguan L is more than 4.7 meters long, the wheelbase reaches 2791mm, and the seating space and trunk space are relatively abundant, but the 7-seat version is not recommended, and the third row is a bit chicken ribs. Tiguan L adopts a 2.0T engine, divided into two versions of high and low power, the maximum power is 220 hp and 186 hp, the power performance is satisfactory, but the fuel consumption performance of the urban section is not very ideal.
The above three models are old faces that have been honed in the Chinese market for a long time, and have excellent performance in the three major parts of the engine, gearbox and chassis, with stable quality and relatively more worry-free in the use process. Among them, the Honda CR-V also has a three-year retention rate of nearly 80%, which is one of the reasons why many people choose it. Going back to the beginning of the question, if you had a car purchase budget of about 200,000 yuan, which of them would you choose? (Text/Taming wind)
