The rear drive does not necessarily have to be sporty, but also depends on its power and tuning orientation, such as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class can not talk about sports. Of course, the front drive and four wheel drive can also be very sporty, but friends who like to drive always think that the rear drive is more pure.
Rear-wheel drive platforms must adopt a longitudinal engine scheme, which will outweigh the cost of manufacturing and the use of space.
So today's models that still adhere to rear-wheel drive are either brand heritage (such as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class) or latecomers who challenge the status of sports supremacy (such as the GeniseyS G70). So from this point of view, the rear drive is more valuable than the front drive.
Let's take a look at the rear-drive mid-size luxury sports cars, which are worth recommending in 2022.
GenisesYS G70 24.98~321,800 yuan
This is the newcomer to the main luxury sports in 2021, the GenisesYS G70 entry is a pure rear-drive design, while the high-end model is a four-wheel drive design. But it is a four-wheel drive based on a rear-drive platform, and you can understand that even the BMW M3 is designed with this, there is nothing wrong with it.
The configuration is the GeniseyS G70, or book numbers.
The entire series is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged, with a maximum output of 245 horsepower and a peak torque of 353 Nm, which is equivalent to the BMW 3 Series high-power version. For a little more money, you can also provide electronically controlled suspension, a rear axle limited slip differential, and Brembo's four-piston calipers.
The Fatal Drawback of the Denisee G70 is that its rear space is super small, equivalent to the Cadillac CT4 level. Second, a Korean luxury brand known for its luxury configuration, its workmanship and sense of luxury are still significantly different from models such as the G80.
Finally, there's athletic performance, and I'd say that book data is sometimes not necessarily related to real sports, driving pleasure. For example, the BMW 3 Series has become comfortable and still the 3 Series, and no one has compared to The Alpha Romeo Giulia when it comes to driving performance.
BMW 3 Series 29.39-39.89 million
BMW 1 series is already a front-drive, rear-drive entry can only buy 3 series, and about 300,000 can only buy the standard shaft of 320i and extended wheelbase of 320Li, some regional discounts are also about 30,000 to 40,000. So the 3 Series is the best-selling model in this class.
This generation of BMW 3 Series also has many bad reviews, because its pure driving maneuverability has been weakened, becoming more comfortable and more follow-up. This disappointed performance fans, and even in many track reviews, the BMW 3 Series lap was not as fast as the Audi A4L.
Although the 3 Series's handling has weakened, it still has two advantages that are still the best in its class: one is the 50:50 front and rear axle counterweight, and the other is the 2.0T+ ZF 8AT to adjust the most linear power output.
The driving pleasure brought by the above two points is unmatched by other models. So you see more than just speed in numbers, but driving pleasure, so choose the 3 Series.
In fact, there is no entanglement in buying the 3 series, like it to buy, because it is the benchmark of this market, how can not get around it. Although the engine is reduced to 115kW and 250Nm, it is still a pair of 2.0T, which is not comparable to small displacement.
Cadillac CT4 23.97-25.97 million yuan
The market also has offers, arguably the cheapest on the market, capable of outputting large back-drives of 174kW and 350Nm. If the CT4's 8AT gearbox is tuned better, the body weight is lighter, and the sportiness is really invincible.
And it has a closed cylinder 2.0T turbocharged, which does not cost oil to open.
But CT4 is much smaller than CT5 rear space, and it is not 10AT but a bad evaluation of 8AT, so I don't particularly like CT4 a little smaller size friends, or CT5. The CT4 control and ct5 are not far apart, and the driving communication and luxury of the two cars are also a little bit different.
Jaguar XEL 28.98-380,600 yuan
Some market preferential prices of more than 70,000 yuan, high matching is more than that. The only all-aluminium body on the market, with a 50:50 front and rear axle ratio, is the same as the BMW 3 Series with the industry's best ZF 8AT transmission. The output of 184kW and 365Nm is stronger than cadillac, and the interior design is stylish.
But jaguar XEL is not selling well, for many reasons, such as second-hand value and quality control. Although XEL has a high hardware configuration, it cannot communicate with people and vehicles at the level of the 3 Series.
If you are a friend who pursues pure driving, the horsepower is a big load higher than the 3 Series, the cost performance is excellent, and the Jaguar XEL is still recommended.
Alfa Romeo Giulia 280HP 37.98~466,800 yuan
Finally, let us recommend such a niche Alfa Romeo-Giulia, I really don't have the courage. But in terms of driving performance, it is the first in the same level, so see if there is a Bole can appreciate it.
Alfa Romeo-Giulia's human-car communication is really good, and it is very rare that it is as comfortable as the BMW 3 Series, the suspension is not a rigid kind, in addition to the narrow space in the rear, the interior workmanship is average, and the comfort is OK. But on the track, it was the fastest.
The guidance price of the entry-level version is 379,800 yuan, and it is close to 320,000 yuan after the discount. This car has nothing to say and if you are a true performance enthusiast, you can consider it.
