If you were to buy an SUV now, you would definitely want it to have a long wheelbase of 2.8 meters, a 2.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 220 horsepower or more, and preferably, it is better to have a four-wheel drive.
Wait, isn't that too demanding? If the joint venture brand SUV, as long as any of the above points are met, it will not hesitate to sell us more than 200,000.
However, such a car does not exist only in the imagination, for example, the following three self-owned brand SUVs, which meet all the above conditions, but only sell for 160,000!
Haval Divine Beast 2.0T Zhizun 4WD Edition
Manufacturer guidance price: 167,000
Wheelbase: 2.80 metres
Powertrain: 2.0T (224Ps) + 7 moisture-blocking dual clutch
When the F7x was launched in 2019, we were impressed by the 2.0T engine on its top model: the maximum horsepower was 224 horses, and the maximum torque reached 385 Nm, which was one of the most outstanding engines in the autonomous 2.0T torque parameter, and with the Great Wall's self-developed DCT gearbox that can withstand 450 Nm of torque, the SUV zero hundred acceleration test can run to 6.6 seconds.
However, the younger F series has been abandoned by Haval, and the Haval Red Rabbit, which was launched in May last year, is an alternative to F5. An alternative to the F7 series, the Haval Mythical Beast, also launched in December last year, is also positioned to be younger, but the wheelbase has become longer, reaching 2.8 meters.
The 4C20B engine on the Haval F7x became 4N20 on the Haval Beast, and the maximum horsepower was still 224 horses, but the torque was reduced to 345 Nm, but the maximum torque came earlier, and 1500 rpm entered the maximum torque range.
Of course, the biggest feature of this 2.0T engine on the beast is fuel saving, using 350bar mid-direct injection fuel system, electronic water pump, Miller circulation and other technologies, and the thermal efficiency of the whole machine reaches 38.3%. According to the Great Wall, this engine is installed on the current model and can save 5% to 8% of fuel.
If you don't have a space requirement and are more concerned about acceleration performance, then the 154,900 Haval F7x 4WD top fit seems to be a better choice. However, the F7x car's steering feel, suspension, and brake foot feel are relatively general, so we still recommend the Haval Divine Beast between the two.
Starway Lingyun 400T 4WD
Manufacturer guidance price: 16.99 ~ 179,900
Powertrain: 2.0T (261Ps) + 7 moisture-blocking dual clutch
What impressed me most about TXL was not the powertrain of this set of parameters, but in C-NCAP's second batch of crash tests in 2020, TXL ranked first with a scoring rate of 93.6%, higher than the second Toyota RAV4.
After the name change, the Lingyun 400T, also known as the 2.0T model, upgraded its platform to the M3X Mars architecture PRO with better safety design. Under the Xingtu brand, only two models, the Lingyun 400T and the Lanyue 400T, have been upgraded to the platform. Therefore, for Xingtu's Lingyun and Lanyue, we also recommend the 400T model.
However, after the upgrade, Xingtu Lingyun reduced the side air curtain, which is not very conscientious, but lingyun this power system is really too good, a 2.0T machine, in the case of only burning No. 92 gasoline, squeezed out 261 horsepower, torque is up to 400 Nm, this parameter is better than the Golf GTI on the 2.0T, it is difficult not to let people include Lingyun in the car cheetah.
The 4N20 mentioned earlier by the Great Wall is one of the engines with the best torque parameters in the autonomous 2.0T, and the Xingtu 2.0T can be called the best autonomous 2.0T at present. At the same time, the thermal efficiency of this engine is as high as 41%, which is simply telling other manufacturers what is strong power and high fuel economy!
In addition, mentioning the four-wheel drive system, many consumers believe that the maximum torque that the dual-clutch transmission can withstand is not large, and the four-wheel drive cannot be off-road, which is completely unnecessary. In this regard, I can only think that this part of the consumer may not have walked through the non-paved road after the rain, when there are four-wheel drive and no four-wheel drive are completely two cars.
I still remember the embarrassing scene of a dirt road on a rainy day, the left front wheel losing grip and the car falling back, and moving the stone pad wheel.
Changan UNI-K all-wheel drive
Manufacturer guidance price: 16.89 ~ 184,900
Wheelbase: 2.89 m
Powertrain: 2.0T (233Ps) + 8 block hand self-contained
Since the CS95 fold, Changan has launched a larger size, more beautiful design UNI-K, and the wheelbase has reached 2.89 meters. This wheelbase is already comparable to some large-scale SUVs of joint venture brands. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Changan also lowered the price, and the starting price of the UNI-K four-wheel drive version is only 168,900, which is 19,000 cheaper than the price of the CS95 four-wheel drive version.
This should be placed in the joint venture brand, 168,900 to buy a wheelbase of 2.89 meters, 2.0T four-wheel drive SUV, dare not think. Taking the Honda UR-V as an example, its wheelbase is 2.82 meters, and the 2.0T four-wheel drive version has sold for 292,800.
Although the Honda UR-V has a horsepower of 272 horses, the UNI-K's 2.0T engine is more powerful, reaching 390 Nm and a good power parameter, with a maximum horsepower of 223 hp.
UNI-K's space and power are not inferior to Honda UR-V at all, and the interior and exterior are completely Changan's home field.
Although UNI-K's borderless Network has mixed reviews, it cannot be denied that the design language inherited from the Vision-V concept car is extremely technological.
The headlights and the design of the entire rear of the car, officially named "Starship-style", have received unanimous praise from consumers.
Inside the car is the part that needs no worries. The interior of UNI-K is layered, especially the instrument uses a HUD-like design, the instrument is higher than the steering wheel, and it is safer to view the instrument information.
This instrument is composed of three screens of 3.5, 10.25 and 9.2 inches, plus the central control screen, and the system forms a quad screen. On the top model, AR live-action navigation is also supported.
As for the "zero gravity" seat, multi-layer soundproof glass, rear side privacy glass and other configurations, not to mention. And all this, on UNI-K, even if you tick the configuration table, its price will not exceed 200,000.
