[Aika Car Shopping Guide Original]
The Golden Bull resigns, and the Fuhu welcomes the spring. In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival holiday is halfway through, and there are only 3 days left before returning to work. Staying at home for many days, pushing the cup to change the cup, the small partners may have entered the "mental anorexia" state. After a few days of not touching the car, as a car editor, my heart was empty, and I had nowhere to put my energy. Also, taking the opportunity to resign the old and welcome the new, let us present an issue of "Cloud Review Car" and count the 10 new cars that will impress the editor the most in 2021.
In 2021, the editor's biggest sentiment is that "times are going to change". Despite the boundless love for the smell of gasoline, it is difficult to deny that electric vehicles have broken the bottleneck of the internal combustion engine in many ways. I once resisted new energy, but in 2021, I had the idea of buying an electric car from the bottom of my heart.
Among the more than 40 models test-driven in 2021, the editor selected 5 fuel/hybrid models and 5 pure electric models, including: Lamborghini Huracán STO, Audi SQ5, Geely Xingyue L Hybrid Edition, FAW Toyota Lingfang, Dongfeng Nissan e-POWER Xuanyi, BMW iX, SAIC Volkswagen ID.3, Tesla Model Y, Xiaopeng P5 and Gaohe HiPhi X.
#01 Lamborghini Huracán STO
Level: Sports car
Price: 3.90 million yuan
The Lamborghini Huracán STO has its own insistence, but it is very different from the expected "wild bull". It knows how to be provocative, but also knows how to stop at the right time, wandering in the middle of the wave and romance. Once, he/she was a true child king next door. Today, the boy next door has grown up, and the bad energy in his bones is still there, but he is much more sophisticated in his life. For the wealthy, Huracán STO is unique enough to be the temperamental choice within a reasonable budget. As for me, I had to touch my wallet and use "bad" and "love" to avoid problems. Or, ZIC half a day, drink half a tank of No. 98 gasoline... It's time to wake up.
#02奥迪SQ5
Level: Medium SUV
Price: 632,800 yuan
As the mind grows and the experience becomes richer, the hot-blooded youth will eventually become an uncle/aunt. At some point, you'll stop obsessing over steel cannons and instead set your sights on the cars you once hated the most. But think about it, those 5m cars and SUVs always look a little "greasy", unable to show unique taste, and it is difficult to satisfy the last trace of restlessness in the heart. Fortunately, a high-performance midsize SUV offers the Plan B. They are showy enough that they don't treat themselves badly on a daily basis; they are exposed enough for those who understand you to read everything in an instant.
"I don't love you for two or three days, but I miss you many times a day." This is a lyric that exposes age and is the best portrayal of the Audi SQ5. After all, the people SQ5 wants to please are the ones who grew up listening to Liang Jingru's singing.
#03 Hoshikoshi L Hybrid Edition
Class: Compact SUV
Price: 173,700 yuan (pre-price)
Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The X oil-electric hybrid version brings a lot of surprises. Using planetary gears to integrate power and adjusting the speed ratio with the control element, the DHT Pro achieves "two hands". In the face of the complex traffic environment in China, DHT Pro can balance fuel consumption performance and power performance. In the NVH, which is not good at planetary systems, the new car has also made gratifying progress. In terms of the performance of the test car, the Star-Etsu L hybrid version is the Thor God Intelligence Engine Hi · X made a good start. If the commercial vehicle can optimize the details such as gear change smoothness and brake foot feeling, Japanese competitors will feel a lot of pressure.
#04 FAW Toyota Lingfang
Price: 21.18-29.78 million yuan
What does an atypical Toyota look like? FAW Toyota R&D Harrier painted a model. In terms of design, Ling fang harrier exudes sensual colors everywhere, and for some moments, I even think that the soul of Lexus is back. In the mechanical part, the strength of the TNGA architecture is still the same, which can support the high-end positioning. Between appearance and practicality, Ling Fang Harrier slightly focuses on the former, which may dissuade some old acquaintances, but also extends an olive branch to new friends. For those who value quality and are reluctant to pay a premium for (luxury) brands, Lingfang Harrier is undoubtedly a caring partner. Above the mainstream, luxury is not enough, which is the character background of Lingharier.
#05 e-POWER轩逸
Class: Compact car
Price: 13.88-17.49 million yuan
With the introduction of e-POWER to China, "Technology Nissan" began the road to revival. Dongfeng Nissan e-POWER Xuanyi came a little late, but it had the strength to compete head-on with Toyota and Honda. The measured fuel consumption is in line with the Japanese competitors, the three-cylinder has no substantial impact on NVH, and the power performance even has certain advantages. Of course, in order to make consumers accept a new hybrid system, only the product power is not enough. In the home car market, word of mouth is the last word to sell. As a latecomer, e-POWER Xuanyi took the first step, and the next story needs time to write.
Petrol flavor | True incense, or decline?
#06 BMW iX
Level: Medium to large SUV
Price: 74.69-99.69 million yuan
After trying the BMW iX, my heart was empty. As a fan of gasoline in my blood, I used to scoff at electrification. Now that I think about it, a few years ago, I was a little superficial and the pattern was small. Today, I will ask myself: What did we give up when we chose electric vehicles? And what did you get? For BMW, iX is undoubtedly an epoch-making work. On the rational level, I think the iX product is remarkable, worthy of Bimmer's respect. On a perceptual level, I don't want to face the ethereality of the internal combustion engine after it disappears, nor do I want to easily change my aesthetic orientation. What is the taste of the two emotions of love and hate mixed together? I smacked my lips, and it turned out to be a sour taste.
#07 Volkswagen ID.3
Price: 15.9888-17.3888 million yuan
Fight back against new forces opponents, is ID.3 qualified enough? In my opinion, this car shows enough sincerity. Before the test drive, I thought ID.3 was a new-age "golf", but reality shattered empiricism. No blowing, no black, ID.3 is better than any generation of golf I can remember. control? Excellent balance and driving pleasure reminiscent of old BMW. comfortable? German flavor is full of taste, and the higher-level models are no more than that. utility? The body is small, but the rear space is visible to the naked eye.
#08 Tesla Model Y
Price: 30.18-38.79 million yuan
From the Model 3 to the Model Y, it's not just the appearance and space that's changed, but the car's tonality has also undergone subtle translations. The reason why it is said to be "translation" is because Model Y still has typical family characteristics, with inheritance as the main and creation as the supplement. It feels like reuniting with a close college friend 10 years after graduation, and the 25-year-old youth and sharpness are gone, replaced by the maturity and stability of the 35-year-old. He is still full of enthusiasm, but he prefers to share this enthusiasm with his family rather than enjoy it alone.
#09 Xiaopeng P5
Price: 16.27-22.93 million yuan
According to the traditional view, body size largely determines the grade of a car, but this theory does not fully apply to smart electric vehicles. Xiaopeng P5 (compact car) is positioned lower than P7 (medium-sized car), but equipped with lidar and 8155 chips, the intelligent dimension is better. In the mechanical part, Xiaopeng P5 understands what family consumers need, there are few power and chassis "slot points", the degree of completion is higher than that of his brother, and the overall performance is better than expected.
#10 HiPhi X
Price: 57.00-80.00 million yuan
When will the latecomers come to the top? I thought that this day would be very far away, after all, the predecessors have accumulated a century of precipitation to have today's jianghu status. Unexpectedly, Gaohe HiPhi X achieved a certain breakthrough in mechanical quality, and the overall performance was worthy of luxury positioning. If it is critical, of course, this car still needs to be improved, but the OTA capability of the whole vehicle leaves everything possible. The chase by latecomers continued, but dawn seemed to be getting closer.
Editor's comments: Does gasoline still smell good? Three years ago, my editorial colleagues definitely said "incense", and by the way, with a disdainful extension, they carried out a verbal attack on electric vehicles. However, the progress of electrification technology is much faster than expected, the mileage has been greatly improved, the efficiency of energy replenishment has been increasing, and the driving experience has come to the fore. Whether people admit it or not, the internal combustion engine is losing its former aura and accelerating the handing over the baton of history. If you love the sound of a piston running, cherish the moment and don't treat yourself badly. If you're simply using your car as a means of transportation, it may be time to embrace the future.
