To answer this question, understand the car, but also understand what is "face".
To take a simple example, you talk about the past and the present in front of a group of people who have no insight, seem to know everything, gain the admiring eyes of theirs, and think that you are erudite and talented, and you have a lot of face. However, this remark will feel very superficial in the eyes of people with real talent and practical learning. In the same behavior, in the eyes of unseen people, you have a lot of face, but in the eyes of polymaths, you may lose face because of the shallow original form of knowledge.
So, the question is, you are talking about face, for the face in front of whom?
I. Face in front of the superficial:
The superficial here, without a pejorative meaning, refers to a superficial understanding of the car (of course, the values may also be more superficial). For example, returning to your hometown during the Spring Festival and wanting to have face in front of your fathers and fellow villagers in the countryside - such a demand is correct. They may not have much knowledge, but they grew up watching you, and you care about their affirmation.
So, what kind of car do these people think has face?
First of all, they most likely don't understand cars, and they don't know what car is about what price. Even if you drive back millions of Huiteng, they feel no different from Santana. To impress them, they can start from two directions. The first is to choose brands that they consider high-end, and the second is to shock them with appearance and high-tech configuration.
1, brand choice: volkswagen, BBA, hongqi, this type of choice as long as the brand, do not configure, so the minimum match is enough.
BBA needless to say, Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi, the reason why it is called a first-line luxury brand, the root is still to enter China earlier, cultural cognition is deeply rooted, and people who do not understand the car, will also feel that Mercedes-Benz BMW is a luxury car, all say that Audi is half a grid lower than BB, and the inferiority lies in the cultural accumulation. However, after 2000, Many of Audi's official cars have invisibly improved the brand image, and these three brands are synonymous with luxury in the eyes of people who do not understand cars.
They won't know that the A-Class, 1 Series, A3 starts at less than 200,000, and they don't know what BMW three-cylinder, Mercedes-Benz 1.3T, A3 is a dry double clutch, they know the standard. Don't buy anything Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, Cadillac, Lincoln, Volvo, these so-called second-tier luxury brands, they don't know.
BBA recommended models: BMW 1 series of the cai version, more than 150,000 discounts, all down 170,000, you manage it three cylinders not three cylinders, is BMW is finished.
Volkswagen, because it entered the country earlier, so in the eyes of some people who do not understand the car, it has also become a high-end car under the BBA - this car is more advanced... In order to cater to the cognition and aesthetics of this part of the people, the public is not unable to consider. However, the brand power Volkswagen is obviously not OK, at least to start the mid-level car, just passat, 22 models do not have to wear helmets, you do not have to consider how high the dry double clutch failure rate is, anyway, you do not drive much. The beggar version is enough, the discount is less than 160,000, and the rest of the money is bought in a good suit.
As for the red flag, these people are most likely not known, but they will never underestimate the name, and they all know that this is where the leader sits. And now the red flag is really good-looking, forced to be full. At this price, Hongqi H5 is enough, starting at less than 150,000, and outsiders look like 300,000. This car is close to 5 meters, and there is a bonus on the appearance, and it not only has face, but compared with the first two flashy things, it is not bad.
SUV is not recommended, since it is for face, then spend money on the blade, SUV of the same level is more expensive, 200,000 can only buy a lower grade, forced to lack.
2. Appearance selection:
Chevrolet Camaro: Used cars over seven or eight years can also come down within 200,000. This kind of flashy small sports car turnover rate is very high, most of them are because of the low practical value and change hands, to put it bluntly, it is a flowery, not a person who lives a life, so the owner can play and play, more suitable for the scene. Low quality risk. Back to the village to see, everyone knows that this is a bumblebee, but pay attention, be sure to buy yellow, this belongs to the car culture.
Alfa Romeo Giulia: Five years old, probably less than 200,000, driven, the control is really good, personally think to surpass BMW, this car is not only in this circle can be installed, a higher circle, can also be used as a personalized option. Back in the village, I saw that the license plates were all carried outside, and they were full.
The advantage of this type of choice is that if someone asks you how much your car costs, you can say the original price. And in front of the BBA or Passat, red flags, people ask you how much money, you are not good to say. Note that it is not recommended that Zotye SR9, Landwind X7 and other cottage choices, such a car change really can not be seen, but the traffic police to manage, and more than enjoy, how fierce to hit the face in the future.
Second, have face in front of ordinary people:
The definition of ordinary people is that there is a basic understanding of cars and brands, but it is still superficial, knowing most common brands, and having a general understanding of the price system. Basically, you can judge your value based on the vehicle.
It is not recommended to choose a second-hand car here, because these people are often more familiar with you, you suddenly drive a Mercedes-Benz GLK, saying that it has been driving for eight years, and people don't believe it.
However, the price of 200,000, specifically for face, is indeed a bit difficult to choose. Because they are all family car grades, there is no face to talk about, if the budget can be higher, there are some clever choices.
1, pure electric direction: people who do not drive, let alone drive long distances, so pure trams can be used as an option, so the advantage of this choice is to avoid direct price competition with friends. If everyone is a fuel vehicle, people are 300,000, you are 200,000, and the face is naturally a little worse. However, if you are a pure tram, there is no comparison with a fuel vehicle, and the power, performance, driving experience and tranquility of a pure electric car are indeed incomparable to fuel vehicles. Our domestic brand overtakes in curves, and when you are in a struggle with your friends, you can also find another way in this way.
At this price, the better choice is Xiaopeng P7 and BYD Han EV, the entry-level version is enough, Xiaopeng 224,200 sold, no purchase tax, should be acceptable. The Han EV has a price of 209,800. In addition, the mixed version of Han DM is a good choice for all faces. Although it is not pure electricity, the joint venture within 300,000 yuan really cannot be compared with it.
As for other brands, although the appearance looks good, most of the brand recognition is still insufficient.
2, second-line luxury: this budget is a bit much, but buy second-tier luxury brands, relative to unpopular models, there are also another way, curve to save the country effect. This year's chip shortage, less discounts, if last year, 70% off tiger, 20% off leopard, Cadillac can be discounted by 890,000, the cost performance is still good, not only for face, the car itself is also worth buying.
Limited to the budget, the current optional Jaguar XEL, the discount is 233,800, at least 2.0T + 8AT, medium-sized sedan, do not look at the specific configuration, the average person does not know whether this is 200,000 or 300,000, and do not know that you are a few discounts to buy. Enough face-saving, and there are also inside. There is also the Cadillac XT4, XT5, the current preferential range is not too big, but the price is similar. Young people buy Jaguar, middle-aged people are more suitable for Cadillac.
In addition, Infiniti Q50L, the current discount of 60,000, the start is also about 220,000, although there is no good feeling about this brand, but this price, 2.0T + 7AT, double wishbones + lateral stability bar, can also be counted, of course, or foot brake. Since you have to choose an unpopular car, this car is colder than the first two.
Third, there is face in the eyes of Kochi:
The higher the level of people, the less they care about the so-called face. They won't bend the knee because you're driving a luxury car, but they will respect your mind, ability, and effort to get rich. They will not be arrogant because you are ragged, they will sympathize with your plight, respect your personality and feelings, and even if they help you, they will not give you a sense of charity.
Therefore, in their eyes, your so-called face is your ability to earn money to support your family by your personal ability, and your ability and effort to live a good life, which is your pursuit of a happy life and a positive attitude. In this way, face is not face, it is already a false proposition - as long as you don't choose the wrong one, you have face. In fact, it doesn't matter if you choose the wrong one, at most you will be laughed at, this young man, don't know much about cars, and that's it. Don't choose for the sake of face, as mentioned earlier in the article, you hold face in front of low cognition, and you will almost inevitably lose face in front of the high cognition car.
Therefore, here is only recommended 200,000 yuan, more worth buying a car, as for how to choose, it all depends on personal preferences and car needs.
Tank 300, the king of cost performance in hardcore off-road. The starting price is 195,800, the whole series of four-wheel drive, 2.0T + 8AT, the appearance is also more windy, suitable for young people. The disadvantage is that the fuel consumption is slightly higher. If you drive less, it is completely negligible.
The new GS8: equipped with Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, more than 5 meters of body, large six seats, tough and domineering appearance, zero hundred acceleration of 6.9 seconds, fuel consumption is only 5.3L, compared with the same THS Highlander, Land Release and other models, the fuel consumption is the same, but the power is higher than a level, the side reflects the foundation of the domestic engine. The starting price is 230,000, which is more than the budget, but the practical value is very high.
Tang DM-i: zero hundred 8.5 seconds, fuel consumption 5.3L, oilable and electric, rechargeable, pure electric mileage of 112Km, urban use almost no need to refuel, compared to any fuel vehicle at the same price is a crushing bureau.
Song PLUS DM-i AWD: Four-wheel drive DM-i, priced at less than 200,000, zero hundred acceleration of 5.9 seconds, fuel consumption of 5.2L, the same can be pure electric driving 100Km. If the power and four-wheel drive are not so demanding, the two-wheel drive version is cheaper. It is the king of value for money at the current price point.
In the car, you can consider Lynk & Co 03+, Han DM, Han DM-i, destroyer 05, all of which have their own characteristics. The rest, such as Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+, Geely Star L, Mocha, are also very good choices.
The essence of the car, or the tool, especially at the 200,000 price point. Face cannot be bought with money, it comes from your knowledge base, from your cultivation, from your ability, quality and kindness.
Choose a car, not only to understand the car, but also to understand human nature, understand sociology, understand psychology, like this article to pay attention to it, the car circle five understand the old knife.
