Bang you choose the car
Written by | Chen Hui
It is almost the New Year, and there are more topics on the Internet about marriage promotion, promotion, and returning to the hometown to deal with the seven aunts and eight aunts.
As a post-90s generation, the peers in the author's circle of friends do not care about the above topics, and have replaced their avatars with "money leopards", emphasizing that getting rich is the thing we care about most.
So what do you do after you get rich? Realizing dreams, of course. However, we who are sober in the world do not expect "small goals", but are very pragmatic, such as buying the first Dream Car in our lives to speed up our dreams!
What car is good to buy? Pragmatic, of course, we must grasp both price and performance. After a rigorous screening, I found that Changan UNI-V, Lynk & Co 03, MG 6 and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard were all able to meet our needs.
So the question is, why these four cars? And how should these four cars be chosen?
The four selected cars, without exception, are the "net red cars" that young people often talk about, with high appearance, strong performance, high level of intelligence, and the strength of various products is very strong, although some of these models have also been controversial, but they are deeply liked by young people.
The electric tail adds points, and the UNI-V value is firmly at the top of the tower
Let's look at the value first.
As a rookie in the car circle, UNI-V was unveiled, and the exterior design was unanimously praised by all parties. After all, who can say no to a coupe with sexy hips? In addition to the sexy overall lines, the details of the UNI-V are also exquisite, such as the borderless grille, the electric hidden door handle, the through-type taillights, the rounded rectangle of the left and right double exhaust and so on. The whole car adds a fashion flavor to the sexiness, which is very much in line with the tastes of young people.
The design of Lynk & Co 03 can be described as the originator of the controversy, people who don't like it say it's weird, and people who like it say it has a personality. And I just think of the wave of its personality, after all, now "Xu Zhisheng" and the like can be popular on various screens, what ugliness is unacceptable? Personal favorite is its split headlights, and other brands of design is not the same, daytime running lights group is designed above the cover, far and near light group is hidden, the overall very nice!
I personally think that the design of the old MG 6 is OK, the new model is really full of "kill Matt", but my colleague does not think so, he thinks that the design of the MG 6 is bold enough, the overall design is very sporty, and the original factory provides the tail wing, although there is no effect on the performance improvement, but it saves the trouble of going to the auto parts city, and the original factory gives you the effect of bringing your own spirit guy. The return rate after driving on the street is quite high.
Relatively speaking, the design of the shadow leopard will be more controversial. In fact, the appearance of the shadow leopard alone is still quite good, the shape of the dynamic line is sharp, the overall temperament is also very sporty; but some people want to say that its design is very similar to AMG, and then it opens the door to a new world, followed by endless mockery. In this regard, I can only say that in the future, the burden of "seconds and seconds of air" will be handed over to you Shadow Leopard.
If you have to name the design of the four cars, UNI-V must come first.
The reason is also very simple, that is, it has a unique big killer, that is, the only electric tail at this price point, especially the action of its rise, which is too ritualistic.
Specially tuned blue whales, UNI-V is more fun to drive
Let's look at performance.
This time we opened the knockout round, and in the first round of parameter comparison, it was Lynk & Co 03 that was brushed off. Because its 1.5T version uses a three-cylinder engine, even those who sell kebabs on the street know that buying a car cannot buy a three-cylinder machine, which is completely without considering China's national conditions. Although it also offers a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, the starting price of 15.08 million is over budget.
What about the remaining three cars? Although the power structure of the three cars is 1.5T+7 speed wet DCT, but the car companies roll up, it is really fierce.
In terms of engines, the Shadow Leopard has a maximum horsepower of 177 hp and a maximum torque of 270 Nm, a mg 6 has a maximum horsepower of 181 hp and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, and the UNI-V has a maximum horsepower of 188 hp and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The gearbox is actually very rolled, but the parameters are too complicated, so I won't expand it.
I have driven all three cars, so let's talk about the actual performance.
UNI-V has the strongest parameters and the best actual performance. Just like a weapon that is inch long and one inch strong, you can not use the power, but you can't do without it. The UNI-V with a stronger power reserve is significantly stronger than the other two cars in that when accelerating sharply, the power response is faster, the push back feeling lasts longer, and the matching of the engine and the gearbox is also quite tacit, and the overall power output is very smooth.
Shadow Leopard can be ranked second, compared to UNI-V, the biggest disadvantage of shadow leopard is that its gear shift action is delayed, and the logic of gear shifting is prone to confusion when driving intensely, especially in the fierce driving conditions of mountain road driving, often can not keep up with the rhythm of the driver. However, back to daily driving, the performance of the Shadow Leopard's power system is remarkable, the overall smoothness is very good, and the power reserve is also good, which is stronger than many cars on the road.
Mg 6's dynamic performance, I personally dare not compliment. It is undeniable that its engine power is indeed very strong, and the floor oil of the traffic lights can also make people drive very cool. But back to daily driving, its gearbox is not smart problem is very prominent. It belongs to that scumbag style, it was good when it was first contacted, but after getting along for a long time, the problem came out.
In addition to motivation, young people are also very concerned about manipulation. After all, there are not many opportunities for traffic light floor oil, and most of the time, we need to go out of our own unique life route.
In terms of handling performance, UNI-V performed best. First of all, I would like to state that it is not my eccentricity towards UNI-V, but that people are really strong. Because it is stacked fiercely, it uses the DTV dynamic torque vectoring control system and the original factory top bar. First, it can better control the power output in the corners, and second, the body structure is more stable. The effect is of course leveraged, on the mountain road I pushed the speed to 70km/h, the roll is minimal, this is called professional.
Mg 6 and Shadow Leopard are very close in performance, although they both write "sports" in advertising, but in fact, it is a grocery shopping style. That's right, especially in the straight line MG 6, if you really want to drive it up the mountain road, its feet will immediately be soft. The UNI-V didn't hesitate to reach 70km/h in the corners, and the two of them, when the speed reached 60km/h, I had to loosen the throttle. Because of the obvious roll, my driving confidence was not enough. But from another point of view, is it a huge space for modification?
Smart, UNI-V is more futuristic
Finally, let's compete with intelligence.
Although some new forces always like to equate new energy and intelligence, traditional car companies with decades of experience in car manufacturing tell everyone with strong research and development strength that this kind of thing, with the heart, can be done well, and has nothing to do with the power source.
The best performer is still UNI-V. UNI-V is equipped with Changan's latest IMS intelligent cockpit interaction system, functionally, supports all the functions of the current mainstream car machine, including online navigation, online music, intelligent voice control, etc., the car machine runs very smoothly, especially the intelligent voice control, the feedback of the instructions has done without delay, and the use experience is very good. Not only that, the system also supports CCTV video, iQiyi, sing bar K song and other expansion functions, support online OTA it, the future will also add vibrato, car game and other more interactive functions.
In terms of operation mode, in addition to voice control and touch operation, the system also supports face recognition and gesture control, for example, going to work in the morning, the thumbs up gesture can quickly open the navigation to the company; the homecoming gesture can open the home navigation.
The "V" gesture, on the other hand, can take a selfie through the in-car camera, improving the playability of the entire IMS intelligent cockpit interaction system.
UNI-V supports high-end intelligent driver assistance system, compared to the current industry mainstream L2 + level intelligent driver assistance system, UNI-V can achieve IACC and lane keeping assist function one-click start, by clicking the button in the left middle of the multi-function steering wheel, the system will intelligently identify the surrounding road environment for assisted driving, reduce the driver's burden and ensure driving safety, and the information of the intelligent driving assistance system displayed by the full LCD instrument located in front of the steering wheel is very clear.
Not only that, it also added the function of dialing the directional lights and actively changing lanes. In a variety of driving scenarios, the driver can be relieved of the pressure of driving.
In addition, UNI-V has also developed a new model in automatic parking technology, which is equipped with the industry's first APA6.0 remote intelligent parking system, which can not only achieve fully automatic parking, but also achieve remote intelligent parking through the network. For example, when you need to do an emergency, and your car blocks others, at this time, you only need to use its remote intelligent parking function to move the car on the mobile phone APP, eliminating the trouble of running around.
Thanks to the blessing of a number of black technologies, the cool cockpit of Changan UNI-V gives people the visual sense of a starship.
With UNI-V as the benchmark, the remaining brothers are subtracting on it. In terms of functionality, the closest thing to UNI-V is the Lynk & Co 03. It also supports smart cars, smart driver assistance systems, and automatic parking. However, its actual performance is not so good.
In terms of intelligent driver assistance system, it supports full-speed ACC and lane centering, although there is no active lane change function, but it is very easy to use in high-speed driving conditions, which can significantly reduce driving fatigue. Automatic parking is a regular kind, although it is not used in most scenes, but when gathering, you can still show it to friends, which has the effect of enhancing entertainment.
However, its intelligent car machine can be called a crotch, although the support of various functions is not lacking, such as intelligent voice control, online navigation, online music, but because the system is not mature enough, so in the process of use, often stuttering and crash, causing a lot of trouble to the owner.
It is followed by the MG 6, which in terms of functionality does not have automatic parking, only provides intelligent vehicles and intelligent driver assistance systems.
Its intelligent driver assistance system is commendable, and in terms of function, it is the same as that of Lynk & Co 03, which is mainly based on full-speed ACC and lane centering, which can achieve L2 level intelligent driving assistance, which is very good to use at high speeds.
In terms of intelligent car machine, MG 6 chose to learn from each other's strengths, and the manufacturer chose the intelligent car machine developed by Ali, backed by Ali's big data advantages, and the experience of the entire car machine was also very good. In particular, the interaction of intelligent voice, the response speed of the car and the execution of the system are very fast.
Shadow Leopard, in terms of intelligence, is at the bottom. Because its ACC is actually not full speed, which is 2022, it seems a bit behind. But it should be said that the performance of its smart car machine is still very good. First of all, in terms of function, it, like UNI-V, also supports gesture control and facial recognition, and the built-in functions of the car machine are also very complete. However, this only belongs to the top configuration, non-top models only provide smart phone interconnection, and there is no other intelligent function.
『Write at the end』
I believe that careful friends have found that the four cars that appear in the alternative list are all from our domestic brands. What does this mean? If you push the time forward by 5 years, at that time, young people want to choose a small steel cannon, then the joint venture brand is the only choice. In recent years, with the improvement of domestic brand technology, the 150,000-level SUV market has become a solid position for domestic brands, and the continuous improvement of domestic brands is expanding to other market segments. The sports car market represented by the above four cars is a new direction in a state of vigorous development.
Through the comparison of the four cars, we also developed, although the domestic brands as a whole are improving, but the progress of each family is not the same. Of course, everyone can also see that Changan UNI-V, as the latest product of Changan's high-end sequence UNI, its overall design strength and manufacturing strength performance are stronger, representing the most advanced level of China's automobile manufacturing, and its comprehensive strength has reached the same level as joint ventures or imported cars, and in terms of materials and intelligence, it is more than surpassing the traditional strong joint venture brands.
In terms of price, the top booking price of 134,900 allows young people to enjoy more excellent products at the same time, and there will be no big burden on car purchases, which can be called value for money.
So, young people, do you know how to choose?
