Hello, everyone! I'm Mogo
It's the weekly "onion car" time again
Together with Xiao Zhao, give everyone an early year of worship
People always ask for some affordable cars
Today it finally came~
It is particularly red
At the end of the article, there are other red-hot new cars~
red? Or Chevrolet?
The reason why this car was selected and recommended to everyone is, on the one hand, because this car is very cost-effective. On the other hand, it is to welcome the upcoming New Year, and the red fire looks festive. This red is also called volcanic red, and it is really red with fire.
Wait a minute! red? Chevrolet? Personality color + brand that does not preserve much value, can this be bought?
Can I buy red?
We all say that the color of personality does not preserve value, yes! For used car merchants, they definitely prefer colors that are more popular and have higher turnover rates. Like family cars, white is preferred, and mid-to-high-end cars prefer black. In the used car market, the purchase price of volkswagen cars is also higher.
But, as a consumer of used cars
The color personality of the car is very fragrant
Don't pay much attention to depreciation. The value of the color is damaged, and it is basically carried down by the first-hand owner. If you consider selling next, the ability to preserve value doesn't change much.
The price is more advantageous. Models with individual colors, due to the long turnover cycle and low purchase price, will naturally be reflected in the price. In our experience, the difference between some special personality colors and the same model of Volkswagen colors can be as high as 1-2 million.
Color is becoming more and more popular. In the past two years, the colors of cars have become more colorful. With the upgrading of people's consumption concepts, the acceptance of personality color has become higher and higher.
This year's new cars are generally colorful
When buying a new car, considering factors such as value preservation, you choose moderation, and there are many fewer rules and regulations for buying second-hand cars, so why not try to be more personalized?
Can I buy a Chevrolet?
Buying a U.S. brand can seem challenging when buying a new car. Some time ago, we wrote an article about the retention rate, talking about the three-year retention rate of the United States is even inferior to its own brand.
But such a brand is very popular in the second-hand market. The depreciation has been carried down by first-hand car owners, and they can enjoy the high cost performance brought by low prices. In fact, compared with the performance of these cars themselves, there is no particularly large gap between the performance and the German system, and even there are highlights in some performance. Wouldn't it be nice that the price advantage can be further amplified by the second-hand market?
The combination of the two is really good-looking
In 2018, the domestic car market was not as colorful as it is today. At that time, the level of medium-sized SUVs was more common in the middle and household routes. In this context, the appearance of chevrolet explorers' main sports style was indeed outstanding at the time.
And this appearance, with a color like red, is indeed more colorful. In different light, the volcanic red between positive red and burgundy is also full of variations.
The car is not a sportier RS or Readline version, the appearance is enough personality but not too exaggerated.
Low-key exhaust
Appearance should not be a decisive reason
So why recommend a explorer
Why recommend it
How about the Explorers
Second-hand explorers, incense!
The depreciation of new cars is fast, is not the high cost performance of second-hand cars ~ for example, the car we recommend today is the 550T automatic four-wheel drive expansion version in 2018, the guidance price at that time was 229,900 yuan, and the full amount of the owner's car was about 200,000-220,000. At present, it is basically equivalent to a 50% discount, only 110,000.
Laterally, such a price to buy a similar vintage, 260 horsepower four-wheel drive SUV, for other joint venture brands, almost impossible. Vertical comparison, now this price, even if the new car of the Explorer with a large preferential margin, can only buy the lowest two-wheel drive 535T model, and the car we recommend is a high-end version of 550T. Although the cash explorer has been upgraded after a mid-term redesign, it is still basically the same.
The advantages of the Explorer
The Explorer car also has several advantages:
Enough power. We recommend the Explorer's 550T model, with a powertrain of 2.0T+9AT, a maximum horsepower of 260 hp, a maximum torque of 353 Nm, and a timely four-wheel drive. This power configuration is definitely the best in the price of the Explorer, which is greater than the horsepower of the current Explorer 550T. More importantly, the current American car can not cost fuel, this power level of the model, its fuel consumption level is surprising, daily driving without pressure.
The car is good enough to drive. In fact, Chevrolet's cars have always been easy to drive. For most motorists, Chevrolet is a brand that balances sportiness with comfort. Specific driving feelings, we steal a lazy, quote the feelings of the Chenge test drivers at the beginning of the year:
"When the emergency line is changed, the suspension system is also very fast, the steering wheel can be reversed at the moment the front of the car can be turned and pointed, and the follow-up of the rear is also very good, giving people the feeling that the car is very neat." And after the successful line change, the body of the Explorer has no extra swing. It can be said that the steering action of the explorer is accurate and fast, and the control stability is also good. ”
The rear seats are comfortable enough. The Explorer space is first qualified in the same class, and the seat is a highlight. The rear cushions are long enough and more upturned to support the legs. On the backrest, there is a soft bulge at the waist, and the entire backrest is more pronounced, and the ride feels a bit like a car. What's more, while the Explorer is a four-wheel drive model, the rear floor is flat.
In terms of vehicle design, there are also some careful highlights:
With active grille
Advantages of active grilles
▼
Automatically adjust the temperature of the engine, so that the engine is in the best working condition at all times. When driving at high speeds, closing the intake grille can reduce the air resistance of the car and improve the fuel economy of the vehicle. When starting the vehicle in the cold winter, the grille is closed, in which case the engine temperature rises faster.
There is also an extremely deep armrest box in the front row
For example, there is a large storage compartment under the lid of the suitcase
The light of the vanity mirror, like that of a luxury car, gradually lights up
The inadequacy of the explorers
The explorers of the 18 models have advantages and several disadvantages.
The interior is old-fashioned. The interior design of the Explorer is still stuck in the style of the previous generation of Chevrolet models. More large arc curves and physical buttons do not look so fashionable today. Of course, the current Explorer interior is still like this.
The car machine is also not smart enough. The reaction speed is not fast enough, the clarity is not good enough, and some of the smart features that are popular today are basically not available. For Carplay, Carlife support is not good enough, only support wired mode. However, these can be solved by installing a smart car with wireless Carplay function in the later stage, and the current price ranges from 2000-3000 yuan. Figure save trouble can also be installed Carplay wired to wireless module, hundreds of pieces of things.
Some operations require adaptation. Chevrolet of this era, there are some designs and other cars are not the same. For example, the manual gear mode plus or minus gear button is directly above the ball head of the gear bar, and its shift release button is directly in front of the gear bar, which is easy to misoperate when changing gears. The lift and lower gear buttons are close together, and when manually lifting and lowering gears, it is equally easy to misoperate. There are also car machines that use touch screens, but some functions can only be achieved through physical buttons.
Vehicle condition inspection
How about this car
Old rules
Let Xiao Zhao check it carefully for everyone!
Basic vehicle condition
The vehicle was licensed in March 2018 and has only run 29,000 kilometers so far. In the past four years, the average annual mileage is less than 8,000 kilometers. It is a car with a small number of miles in the same model. Looking around the whole vehicle, there is no major damage to the appearance, and there are no replacement marks for various parts of the vehicle.
All four tires are Goodyear's EFFICIENTGRIP SUV tires, which are more common SUV tires, focusing on silent and slippery road performance, and are widely used in various mid-to-high-end joint venture SUVs.
The rim of the right forecar has a scratch mark:
The interior is particularly new, the previous owner can be described as a good care, and there are basically no traces of use everywhere. The last time CC content, we had guessed that it was a young lady's car. According to many details of use, the previous owner of this Explorer can be a girl.
The whole vehicle also has a lot of protective film, and even the plastic packaging bag of the rear seat headrest is still there, and there is a QR code of the original factory on it.
The seat is also basically free of wear and is in good condition
The sunscreen of the windows is a darker shade
There are no additional add-ons
The spare tire is full-size and has a full range of tools on board
Sheet metal lacquer
There is a paint film instrument ~ after inspection, the car paint is uniform, the thickness is about 120 microns.
In some places that are easy to scratch, the thickness of the paint surface is not abnormal, and the paint of the whole car has not been repaired, and there is no trace of putty.
There are several small damages to the paint surface of the whole vehicle, which can be solved by simple repair:
Dynamic performance
The dynamic condition of the vehicle, we think, is basically the same as the new car. The chassis remains in a very tight state, and the sound insulation of the whole vehicle is also maintained in a state consistent with the new car, which shows that the previous owner really did not drive this car much.
To sum up
Buy this car
3 reasons
The mileage is short and the price is attractive
High horsepower + four wheel drive, and good fuel consumption
The car condition is really new!!!
Precautions
There are several scratches that need to be repaired
2.0T only eat No. 95 oil
