Nowadays, the post-90s generation has gradually become the main force of automobile consumption, and various manufacturers are building their main sales models into sports and young products in order to meet the needs of young consumers. As the first car of young people, 150,000 landing is a very reasonable price, so today Xiaobian selected three joint venture compact cars that meet this price range to see which one is more worth recommending.
Civic/Type
When it comes to models with sporty models in the joint venture brand, Civic is definitely the first one that comes to mind. The 10th generation of Civic has become a generation of gods with a 177-horsepower engine and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h in early 7 seconds. Although the Eleventh Generation Civic is affected by China VI emissions, it is still the first choice for sports compact cars.
This generation of Civic is divided into two models from two manufacturers in China. Dongfeng Honda is the eleventh generation Civic, and GAC Honda is named INTEGRA type. The pricing of the type is close to that of the Civic, but there are still some differences in the design, configuration, and powertrain.
In terms of appearance, compared with the Dongfeng Honda Eleventh Generation Civic, the type is more sporty in the shape design, the front middle net adopts a honeycomb design, the headlight shape is more slender, the lower encirclement is also more concise, and it looks more combative. The difference between the two tails is larger than that of the front, the type tail light group is smaller, a large piece of tail lights on the tailgate is eliminated, and the inverted L-type light bar is more sporty. Overall, the Civic is more balanced and more athletic. This can also be seen in the configurations mentioned later.
The interior part, the type and the Civic are no different, it is still a relatively simple and stylish style, the 9-inch suspension central control screen is the standard configuration of the whole series, and in addition to the minimum manual version with 7-inch + pointer semi-LCD instrument, the rest of the configuration is 10.2-inch full LCD instrument.
In terms of power, both cars are equipped with the power of 240TURBO, that is, a 1.5T high-power engine, with a maximum power of 182 horsepower and a maximum torque of 240N·m. However, the minimum model is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission with a 6-speed manual transmission, which is a configuration that the Civic does not have, and I believe that fans who like to play with cars will definitely like this manual version.
In addition to the manual transmission, its configuration list also has two versions of the sports suit design, the main difference with the ordinary version is the addition of a black ducktail at the rear of the car, and the window line, exterior mirrors, door handles, and shark fin antennas of the Phantom Night Sports Suit version are all blackened.
On the whole, the eleventh generation of Civic versions are very capable of playing, and the East Ben Civic is more balanced, and the whole family can use it. Hiromoto's style is more athletic, more suitable for friends who pursue personalization.
Modern Festa
Festa is a compact sedan built by Hyundai for the Chinese market, and its target is the young consumer group of the post-90s or even 00 in China, which can be seen from the appearance of this car. Fiesta's appearance is very aggressive, the headlight group is shaped like a knife, the air intake of the fog lamp position is more like a direct move from the performance car, coupled with the complex front grille, Festa's front face reveals a word - fierce.
Festa's side, like the Civic, is also a slippery back shape, but Fiesta's roof line is more exaggerated, almost A-pillar began to slide, such a design is dynamic, but the head space of the rear passengers is a bit miserable.
The rear shape of the car looks more aggressive than the front of the car, the through-type taillights and the small ducktail at the rear of the car give a very compact feeling, and the mesh diffuser below appears on a car to appear very rare, which also makes the rear of the car have a strong fighting atmosphere.
Festa's interior looks extremely ordinary, far less combative than its exterior, as does civic. But fortunately, Fiesta is a new model after all, so the interior design is stronger, from the car we can at least see a large size of the central control screen and LCD dashboard. In addition, the flat-bottomed sports steering wheel and the red stitching on the seats are still a little more rehabilitated in the sports car.
The power part is more exaggerated, Fiesta is equipped with a 1.6T engine, the maximum power is 204Ps/6000rpm, the maximum torque is 265N·m/1500-4500rpm, such a power output is comparable to the 2.0T engine, matching the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, so that Festa can break the hundred in 7 seconds, such a performance to challenge some small steel guns are not lost at all.
Summary: Fiesta's aggressive styling and exaggerated power level are bound to impress some consumers who focus on sports, but also because of this setting, this car naturally cannot sell more than 10,000 a month like the Civic, and it can only be said that it provides consumers with a fresh choice.
Veteran Player Fox Hatchback
If you talk about the most sporty model in the compact model, everyone's first reaction is basically Fox. At a time when many compact cars were still pursuing moderation and family use, the Fox had sporty attributes. In addition, Ford has delegated the ST-Line kit, which was originally only the top-equipped model, to low-end models, further enriching consumers' choice.
The ST-Line Sports Kit is similar to Volkswagen Golf's R-Line Kit, offering a more sporty look. St-line's front face is full of fighting desire, Martin-style large-mouth grille, and the middle mesh shape adopts a black honeycomb arrangement. The headlights are slender and sharp, and the same blackening treatment is adopted, and the light group is all LED light sources. The front bumper is also sporty, and the wide and full layers are clear. After the rear wing is installed at the rear, it appears that the whole vehicle is flowing, and the rear bar adopts a two-color treatment, which has a clear sense of layering. The blackened rear skid plate, one-sided double exhaust is the identity of the street runner.
In terms of interior, as an era of redesigned models, it basically follows the design style of the current model, and upgrades some configurations to enhance the driving experience of consumers. Specifically, the interior of the car as a whole adopts black color, and adds chrome elements to embellish the details, and the visual effect is very stylish. At the same time, the suspension central control LCD screen with the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel also increases its youthful atmosphere.
In terms of power, the new car is still equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 171 horsepower, matching the 8-speed manual transmission. The new Focus said that the engine power level is basically in the same camp as the two opponents above, but the actual acceleration performance of the new car is not ideal, and it takes 9 seconds to break the hundred, which is a bit sorry for the 171 horsepower output of the engine.
Summary: Fox's athletic background is still worth it, but the poor level of acceleration makes this car a little worse after all.
The three models listed above have their own characteristics, and the Civic has the strongest comprehensive product strength from the aspects of appearance, interior, space, power and so on. Festa has the strongest level of motivation, the most aggressive look, and is aimed at the most athletic users. Fox has a good athletic foundation, but the hatchback does lack practicality. The characteristics of the three are distinct, and you still have to decide according to your own needs when choosing.
