With the end of 2021, the sales performance of various segments has been announced, but these data are not fully representative of consumer preferences, if the consumption budget is excluded, who does not want to drive a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce? Recently, an authoritative automobile media in the United States did not overly refer to market sales factors, but selected 10 models of different categories in the annual test drive according to its own scoring system. Let's take a look at the foreigner's evaluation of these cars.
Top 10: 2021 Audi S5Sportback
Category: Luxury hatchback
While we've always had a soft spot for Audi's S family of models, the S5Sportback surprised us with its near-perfect balance of performance, comfort and style. The five-door body is more practical than the two-door sedan, and the appearance ratio is not lost, and the overall appearance is very coordinated. The combination of a powerful powertrain, excellent Audi technology and a sophisticated cockpit make this S5 Sportback a powerful model.
Top 9: 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600
Category: Ultra Luxury SUV
The Maybach GLS 600 is the flagship SUV of the family launched after the Maybach S-Class, and by abandoning the third row of seats, the comfort of the second row of passengers is as perfect as possible, and the ride is very good. Although the former Maybach brand no longer exists, but the sense of luxury of the drunken gold fan has never left, the Maybach GLS is like a land version of the private yacht, the chassis unique tuning can absorb all kinds of bumps from the road surface, both design and driving quality are worthy of Maybach's signature.
Top 8: 2021 Genesis GV80
Category: Medium luxury SUV
Like the G80 sedan, the Genesis GV80 is a sword to its German rivals, focusing almost exclusively on the luxury driving experience. Unlike the G80, the GV80 is a more versatile home SUV that offers three rows of seats for the whole family. Even with only five seats, intelligent driving assistance and a quiet and comfortable ride can be satisfactory, with a good aura, high configuration, and cost performance that exceeds the german luxury SUV of the same level.
Top 7: 2021 Porsche 911Turbo
Category: High performance sports car
The 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo is arguably the best sports car of the year, with excellent power and sporty suspension technology that makes driving fun. Full-time all-wheel drive systems are still standard, not only in paved roads or tracks can experience a smooth driving feeling, wet and slippery roads can also be unscrupulous to speed. For example, if you want to drift in the snow and scatter flowers, just add a set of snow tires, 911 will be a good choice.
Top 6: 2022 Honda Civic sedan
Category: Compact sedan
The latest Honda Civic has changed its wild and angular design in favor of a cleaner, more refined look. While some people think that this design is a bit dull, it at least gives us a whole new look. In contrast, the interior of the car has changed more thoroughly, not only equipped with a new LCD dashboard, but also designed the air conditioner outlet to be hidden, which runs through the entire center console. The pleasant sense of handling in its class continues to be retained, and it can be said that the Honda Civic is an excellent compact sedan.
Top 5: 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe
Category: Medium SUV
The appearance of the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe (known as "Shengda" in China) looks like a slight change, but the change is not just the surface, and the comprehensive performance can be said to have a subversive upgrade compared to the old model. A plug-in hybrid system has been added, and the luxury of the new interior has been significantly enhanced. Paired with a rich active safety system and a powerful 2.5L turbocharged engine, Santa Fe has more confidence to compete with its competitors.
Top 4: 2021 Audi RS6Avant
Category: High Performance Station Wagon
Driving the 2021RS6Avant is definitely a treat, an extremely fast and very comfortable station wagon that meets the needs of almost every owner. Previously, Audi announced the decision to fully electrify, the RS family bore the brunt of it, and the official released a long, tear-jerking YouTube video, which could not help but make people feel disappointed, and the RS pure fuel era is the time to end. With the transformation of the RS family, the future fuel-only version of RS cannot be bought. What is certain is that the next RS model will be equipped with a hybrid system.
Top 3: Nissan Rogue in 2021
Category: Compact SUV
The 2021 NissanRogue (known as "Qijun" in China) is a model that turns the tide, with impressive space, good ride comfort, intelligent technology and a rich active safety system, but the design is different, and the split headlights are not appreciated by everyone. In terms of fuel economy, safety, comfort and price are very good, family-oriented SUVs should be concerned about the above points, 2021 Nissan Rogue did it.
Top 2: 2021 Genesis G80
Category: Medium-sized luxury cars
Genesis G80
With its avant-garde design from the inside to the outside, to the insistence on the luxury driving experience, the identity of the comedian occupies a place in the luxury market, and its main label is comfort, fashion, and intelligence. Although for audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-class fans, the G80 is still a nobody at this stage, but it is definitely a heavyweight player in the future, shouldering the heavy responsibility of modern brands entering the luxury market.
Top 1: 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580
Category: Flagship executive sedan
As we predicted, luxury brands of Mercedes-Benz S-Class are at the top of our charts. With its refreshing design and the latest technology, the S-Class remains the benchmark for luxury cars and holds an unassailable position in the industry. While we've had some questions about the front face shape of this new model, we've raved about the many black technologies it applies, such as the E-Active body-controlled suspension system, the second row of passenger front airbags, the Impulse Side of lateral collision detection technology, Mercedes-Benz's second-generation MBUX, biometrics, and AR augmented reality.
summary:
From this list, it can also be seen that overseas media are very satisfied with the selected models, the performance car in the 911, S5, RS6, SUV in the X-Trail, the compact God Car Civic, basically are also popular models in China, good cars have no borders, and the preferences of fans in various countries are roughly the same. The difference is that Korean brand cars are more popular overseas, Hyundai Shengda, GeniseS G80 and GV80 have all been popular, but in our country, the performance is flat, and the market influence is far less than that of traditional brands such as Ashkenazi and Japan.
