Yiche Original believes that many friends will struggle with "spending more than 200,000 yuan to buy an SUV, is it to buy German or Japanese?" "The question is indeed very representative. So today I chose two products that can best represent Ashkenazi and Japanese SUVs, FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue and Dongfeng Honda CR-V, for friends to compare in detail.
The fifth-generation Model of honda CR-V has been on the market for five years and has been selling well in the joint venture SUVs with its functional wind appearance and flexible interior space, while FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue officially joined the market in 2018, giving consumers who like tough appearance and spacious space another choice of German products.
First of all, in terms of the price of the two cars, now Tanyue has a discount of more than 30,000 yuan in many areas, and cr-V is currently the original price of the car, and even needs to wait for 1-2 months, so overall, the cost performance of Tanyue is undoubtedly higher. Secondly, since we are talking about Ashkenazi or Japanese, let's put the hybrid aside first, after all, Japanese cars still buy more pure fuel. Finally, the configuration, all the officials take what they need, when buying a car, they feel that they do not need these configurations, so they buy the corresponding other configurations, and the frugality is up to people.
For the choice of appearance, it has always been a matter of opinion, it is really difficult to unify, let's take a look at the main highlights of the design of the two cars.
First of all, Tanyue, the front face is a standard new volkswagen style, full of power and modernity, but because of the large body size, the front face of the grille area is also very large, the front LED headlights with an integrated air intake grille, in the honeycomb chain chrome decoration and bumper of the ring daytime lights, the front of the car looks very imposing.
Look at CR-V, very typical Japanese style, in order to pursue young sports, CR-V also launched the black jazz version, the silhouette of the front of the car is a very traditional, regular shape, but the use of a large number of polylines to highlight the power, the outline of the headlights, the chrome decoration of the front bar brought by the overall shape is still not outdated, but compared to Tanyue slightly backward.
The side vision of both cars is very powerful, the size of Tanyue is 4589/1860/1660mm, the wheelbase is 2731mm, under the design of the short suspension long shaft, the body side shape is very stretched, more full and rounded, in the details of a smooth waist line from the front headlights, all the way to the rear of the car, not only more prominent sense of strength, but also highlights the exquisite German craftsmanship.
In addition, in terms of roof details, since it is a hard style, Tanyue retains the design of the luggage rack, practicality and functionality have been improved, and in order to provide transparent light in the car, Tanyue adopts Panorama's large-size panoramic sunroof, the large area of high-thickness tempered glass improves the safety and quiet performance of the roof, and the sunroof and sunshade also have electric opening and anti-pinch functions.
On the rear of the car, the overall design of the tail of Tanyue maintains a simple design, the full shape presents a full sense of power, and the taillights adopt an LED matrix design, which is full of scientific and technological lighting effects, conforming to the latest optical concepts.
The rear of the CR-V is more prominent in the sense of power, a large number of tough straight lines show a good sense of layering, and the chrome trim strip that runs through is also the "predecessor" of today's through-type taillights, with a lateral stretching effect, making the thick rear of the car more refined.
Conclusion: Overall, I personally will stand tanyue more, and the addition of harder lines will make tanyue more personal and more impressive in a number of urban SUVs. CR-V is actually very good-looking, but although the lines are sharp, the overall feeling is still a bit soft, and the overall style is biased towards tradition.
Entering the car, Tanyue's interior adopts a driver-centered design, on the horizontal suspension of the center console, a number of geometric twists of chrome trim makes the industrial science and technology style, more modern design, 10.3-inch full LCD dashboard and 9.2-inch central control screen screen is located in the same horizontal position, creating a style through the screen, that is, the function is easy to find, easy to operate.
The full LCD instrument can support map projection, so that the driver no longer has to be distracted from looking at the mobile phone or the central control display, increasing the safety during driving.
The central control large screen and air conditioner are touch-type operation, the sense of science and technology is good, the function is also very rich, the accuracy of the recognition degree of voice operation is still relatively high, and the commonly used functions can be realized. In addition, such as CarPlay, CarLife intelligent interconnection system, naturally will not be absent.
In addition, Tanyue has a richer range of driving assistance systems, including TJA traffic congestion assistance system, ACC3.0 adaptive cruise system, Lane Assist lane keeping function, parallel line assist, lane departure warning, active braking, Pre-Crash pre-collision protection system and a series of functions, so that Tanyue can achieve L2 level intelligent assisted driving, providing a lot of convenience for the use of daily commuting.
Cr-V's interior is very firm to take its own style, compared to the design of Tanyue double large screen, CR-V dashboard and small area of the central control screen, as well as the bland center console, for young consumers accustomed to the era of large screens are not very adaptable.
The 7-inch central control screen, display clarity and smooth operation, are decent, and its Honda CONNECT connected car machine has also been strengthened for intelligent voice, which can meet daily use.
However, the sense of technology in the car is indeed worse than the Tanyue just now, fortunately, the overall style is calm and generous, a large number of soft packages and wood grain trim plates create a strong home style, and as a Japanese player who pays attention to practicality, the gear is still placed in the extension of the center console, the operation is relatively smooth, CR-V is below the central control, and a wireless charging area is also set up, which is convenient for placing bills or daily recharge.
In terms of riding experience, Tangaku's front and rear seats use leather seats, the front seats support electric adjustment, the wings on both sides of the seat can also provide good wrapping, and the rear seats also support 18cm front and rear adjustment.
Although the rear row has a raised platform due to the four-wheel drive system, the wheelbase of 2731mm is maximized under the design of the "short suspension long axis", and the actual riding experience basically does not affect the riding comfort.
As a product of space magicians, the CR-V also has a wide front space, although the wheelbase of 2661mm is not as good as Tangaku, but the wide wheelbase design provides excellent lateral space performance. In addition, the CR-V seat cannot sit very low, which may be a barrier for drivers with particularly high heights.
In addition, tanyue's trunk volume is 506 liters, the maximum can be extended to 1590 liters, and because the rear seats can be moved back and forth, it is indeed more convenient to use, and if you often put longer items, you can not put them on the backrest, and the portability is better.
In the rear details, both cars are equipped with USB charging ports, but Tanyue provides more humanized functions, and the addition of independent air conditioning in the rear freely controls the temperature and provides a better riding experience.
Conclusion: CR-V, which has always been known for its "space", has met the interior function of the more humane Dewei Tanyue is not fragrant, Tanyue's more modern interior design and car machine system, so that the daily use of the car is more relaxed and intelligent, although CR-V can still meet the functional needs very well, but on the function and details of the car, Tanyue is indeed "the latecomer to the top".
Whether in terms of displacement or power parameters, Tanyue is far ahead, and the two models use different powertrains, and there are also significant differences in output characteristics.
Tanyue is equipped with two kinds of power of 1.4T and 2.0T, three specifications and matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, of which, as a model with a small space size, the 1.4T is indeed not recommended to buy, and the more recommended 2.0T high-low power version of the main sales, the 330/380 TSI has adopted a mature EA888 engine, matching the 7-speed wet double clutch, and the golden power combination will not have unnecessary concerns.
The 2.0T high-power version of the 380TSI model, with a maximum power of 162kW and a torque output of 350N·m, starts easily, overtaking calmly, and the surging power makes daily driving become extremely natural. The low-power version of the 330TSI model, the maximum output power of 137kW, the maximum output torque of 320N·m, in the power and fuel economy are comprehensively improved, for more friends of the daily use, is a rare fuel consumption and power of both the engine.
Of course, if you need a non-paved road or outing environment every day, the 380TSI model equipped with 4MOTION intelligent four-wheel drive system and BorgWarner's fifth-generation central differential, the daily rear wheel will retain less than 10% of the power output, the limit road conditions will become 100%, can cope with more comprehensive and complex use scenarios, to meet the needs of self-driving and light off-road outside the city, there will be a more comprehensive use environment.
In addition, the German car has always given people the feeling of good handling performance, although Tanyue is an SUV, but in the fast corners, parallel lines and other scenes, Tanyue has better suspension support, so that people have more confidence in driving. The directionality and force of the steering wheel also reflect sufficient sense of road sense and feedback.
Tanyue's chassis is tough, but it is tough and handles big bumps cleaner. In addition, the chassis is thicker, the NVH of the whole vehicle is better, the quietness of the carriage and the comfort of the chassis are more advanced, whether it is driving or riding, it will make people very stable.
The CR-V is equipped with two powertrains, 1.5T and 2.0L Sharp Hybrid, and the 1.5T engine is well known for being used in many Honda models, especially the so-called Shenche Civic.
However, for the power reserves of 142kW and 243N·m, the CR-V does have a pretty good power tuning. But after all, limited by the mechanical instinct of 1.5T, driving cr-V such an SUV, giving people the feeling that the power is enough but not rich, acceleration or typical Japanese car style, the head end is very sensitive, let you feel that the low twist is very abundant, but when you step on the throttle to accelerate sharply, it still brings a sense of unhurried driving, and when the overtaking needs a relatively fast acceleration performance, it will be somewhat inadequate.
And the CR-V only has S gear and economic mode, S gear can keep the engine at a higher speed for better responsiveness, but can not improve the problem of dynamics. So dynamics, still not what CR-V is best at, or not its selling point.
Cr-V two versions of the model also have a timely four-wheel drive model to choose from, but compared to the Tanyue 380 TSI model more professional four-wheel drive tuning, CR-V power and chassis style, indeed pay more attention to the urban environment, the ability to get out of trouble is average.
At the same time, cr-V suspension compared to the cognitive Japanese car is still significantly improved, no longer blindly in order to pursue comfort and adjusted very softly, the road sense will be improved a lot, or more suitable for more stable driving, not suitable for a more intense way to drive. In terms of driving comfort, CRV is good at handling slight bumps, and the body can filter bumps very well, but on relatively large bumpy roads, the chassis obviously feels a little thin and heavy.
Conclusion: Although the target positioning is both urban SUVs, Tanyue and CR-V are indeed rivals if they are only for mobility, CR-V has a strong 1.5T, and Tanyue's "TSI +DSG" golden power combination can also bring better power and control. However, in terms of power reserve and four-wheel drive strength, Tanyue's stronger mechanical literacy can cope with a more comprehensive driving environment.
Summary: Although cr-V has become more sporty in both appearance and driving feel, comfort is still the main theme. Tanyue has a tough appearance, 2.0T ample power, more flexible space, and a better four-wheel drive system, which will be very pleasant to use.
So if you're driving a CR-V every day, it feels like you're in a comfort zone, nothing bad, but probably nothing accomplishment. And if you drive a Tanyue every day, it feels like if you successfully break out of your comfort zone and find that there is more passion than stepping out of your comfort zone.
