Recently, a friend rose to the ranks of my grandfather, and the Shanghai brand that has been filmed for three years has not been heard from so far. He thought that even if he shot the Shanghai brand, he would have to increase the Shanghai brand cost by an additional 100,000 yuan in the cost of car purchase, and he asked me if I had any models, in addition to being able to get a new energy license, the price could be within 250,000 yuan. In addition, the space must be spacious, and the trunk must be able to fit the stroller, preferably the SUV. In addition to being able to travel daily, it is also easy to take a family out on weekends.
To be honest, the price of less than 250,000 yuan, if you buy an ordinary gasoline model, there are many choices. You can even pick and choose among medium-sized SUVs, but if you don't have a Shanghai brand, you can only choose from new energy models, and you can basically only choose from compact SUVs. So I recommended four models for him, and that's what I think is the most suitable for his needs in this class.

Recommended model 3: 2021 FAW Toyota RAV4 rongsheng dual engine E + 2.5L two-wheel drive urban pro version
Manufacturer guidance price 248,800 yuan
The biggest highlight of RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine E+ is that it does not adopt a family design, but inherits the essence of overseas 4Runner in its own way, showing the same wild side of urban SUV. The most significant difference from the pure fuel model is the front Toyota LOGO, which is the same as the Rongfang dual engine, with a blue stroke.
The folded lines on the engine cover and the trapezoidal elements of the front of the car fully reflect the masculine charm of the RAV4 rongsheng dual engine E+, with a headlight close to the triangle, so that people can remember its fierceness at first glance. In terms of size, the RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine E+ is 4600mm long, 1855mm high, 1685mm, and has a wheelbase of 2690mm.
In addition, there are two pieces of information on the side of the body that allow you to distinguish between the RAV4 Boom Dual Engine E+ and the Normal Version, the plug-in hybrid nameplate on the front fender, and the charging interface on the right side of the body. The petrol and hybrid plates are filled in on the left side of the body. The rear design of the RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine E+ is not too different from the ordinary version of the model, mainly the nameplate of the tail.
From the interior part, it is not difficult to see that the RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine E+ has not made too many adjustments to the interior, and basically maintains the consistent design style of the fuel version model. The entire center console design is full of layering, the size of the central control large screen is large enough, the physical buttons in the air conditioning area can make people feel toyota's pragmatism all the time, and in order to highlight the identity of new energy models, as in the hybrid version, the start button is blue. In addition to the first time, the new car also added red stitching.
The 8-inch central control screen integrates the reversing image and the only CarLife that can be called up to keep pace with the times. Navigation, Internet of Vehicles, which are common configurations in other brand models, RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine E+ are not equipped. Maybe Toyota on the market dares to be so plain.
In terms of seats, the RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine E+ adopts fabric seats, all seat adjustment methods are manual, and the rear seats support proportional reclining. Consumers may not buy it, but I personally feel that manual adjustment with fabric seats is completely acceptable to me. In terms of spatial performance, there is no problem at all.

Recommended model 4: 2021 Changan Ford Ruiji 1.5T PHEV
Manufacturer guidance price 208,000 yuan
In terms of appearance, it still continues the shape of the fuel version, using a dot matrix polygonal middle net, silver decorative strips on both sides of the bumper, and the front and rear lips and side skirts adopt the same color design of the body, which is more advanced, and there is a clear distinction between the cross-border style of the fuel version.
On the side of the body, you can see the side skirt and bumper position added champagne gold embellishment, because it is a PHEV model, the left wing sub-board has an additional charging port in front, and the "PLUG-IN HYBRID" logo is also added to the back. In terms of size, the Sharp Edge PHEV is 4626mm long, 1882mm high, 1688mm, and has a wheelbase of 2710mm.
In terms of the rear, in addition to the difference between the tail logo and the ordinary fuel version model, the Sharp Edge PHEV is basically not different from the fuel version model, and the roof tangent line similar to the slipback shape is also very eye-catching. The bilateral single-output exhaust at the rear looks very sporty, but in fact the Sharp Edge PHEV uses a 3-cylinder 1.5T engine.
There is not much difference between the interior and the fuel version of the Sharp Edge PHEV model, which still uses the traditional pointer instrument, does not use the LCD dashboard, and the power meter replaces the tachometer of the traditional fuel vehicle.
The 12.3-inch central control screen, built-in SYNC+ system supports OTA and voice control, including QQ Music, Himalaya, Baidu Map, iQiyi, Meituan Takeaway and other applications. Booking hotel tickets, movie tickets and seat selection are achievable, and there is no problem with the interconnection of cars and homes, which is a great advantage in this regard, and it is also the most up-to-date among the four models.
In terms of seats, the front seats of the Sharp Edge PHEV are wrapped in imitation leather materials, the main driving side provides electric adjustment function, and the passenger side adopts manual adjustment. The rear seats support front and rear + backrest adjustment while supporting proportional reclining, and the space performance is not bad.
In terms of trunk space, the trunk of the Sharp Edge PHEV is relatively less spacious than the previous three models, but it is not a problem to visually accommodate 5 2-inch boarding suitcases.
In the engine part, the Sharp Edge PHEV uses a 1.5L three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 125 kW and a peak torque of 210 N·m. Ruiji PHEV's motor has a maximum power of 42 kW and a maximum torque of 235 N·m, and the Rui Ji PHEV can travel purely electrically for 77 km under NEDC conditions.
In terms of gearbox, Ruiji PHEV adopts E-CVT gearbox, and the drive form adopts front-mounted front drive. In terms of chassis, the Sharp Edge PHEV adopts the front McPherson rear multi-link form. It is worth mentioning that the rear suspension swing arm of the Sharp Edge PHEV is made of aluminum alloy material, which is more sincere.
Editor's note: These four models are the ones that I think are the better models in this price range. Of course, some people may ask why the CR-V plug-in hybrid did not appear, but instead appeared two French cars. Because the CR-V plug-in hybrid starting price exceeds 250,000 yuan.
However, in my opinion, if you buy new energy models, and at the same time do not want to spend more budget, these four models are a good choice, let me choose, I accept RAV4 Rongfang double engine E+, because whether it is the market ownership, or Toyota products have always been good reputation, and the residual value after a few years of use, I believe that RAV4 Rongfang double engine E + must be the best choice, but the configuration of RAV4 Rongfang double engine E + is indeed the most shabby. As for how consumers make their choices, we will wait and see.
