Although the current self-owned brand SUV models almost occupy most of the market below 150,000, in fact, there are many joint venture SUV models that have entered this range. The professor brought three SUV models that have joint venture status but sell cheaper than their own brands.
When it comes to jetta, everyone must think of the sedan car that has been selling for more than 20 years with the Volkswagen logo hanging, but today's Jetta is an independent sub-brand. Many people think that it has become an independent brand, but although it no longer hangs the Volkswagen logo, it is still a joint venture identity, and the blood of volkswagen flows in the new car.
The Jetta VS5 is based on the MQB A1 platform and is still guaranteed in terms of security. The power part is equipped with a 1.4T engine codenamed EA211 that is synchronized with Volkswagen and the Audi brand, and the transmission system matches the Aisin AQ250 6AT gearbox and 5MT gearbox, circumventing the double-clutch transmission that everyone does not like, and there is no point of complaint at all.
And in terms of chassis, it still retains the high-end sense of the German car, and the four-wheel independent suspension gives you a very solid feeling, which is still better than many self-owned brand SUVs at the same price.
But such a price corresponds to such three major pieces, the texture of the interior is not too high expectations, its design is the interior layout of the volkswagen generation, there is no slot point in use, but compared to the independent model, the sense of plastic is indeed stronger.
But the price is indeed very powerful, the minimum price of the automatic gear model is not less than 100,000, and the landing is only more than 110,000, and it looks atmospheric enough that it will definitely not lose on the face.
The Smart Run ACE launched a mid-term redesign last year, although it is a mid-term redesign, but its change is even greater than the replacement, and it also hangs on Kia's new logo, all aspects have been comprehensively improved, especially with the new 1.5T engine is the most commendable.
The new car offers two powertrains, a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine + a 6-speed manual transmission, and a 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine + a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with a maximum horsepower of 161 hp and a peak torque of 193 Nm, and the latter with a maximum horsepower of 200 hp and a peak torque of 253 Nm.
The 1.5T engine adopts CVVD technology, which can achieve performance improvement, fuel rate improvement, and exhaust emission reduction, which has a very large advantage over other competitors of the same class, and even comparable to many 2.0T engines.
And in the configuration of the car, the smart running Ace is also close to the mainstream consumers' car needs, the 10.25-inch multimedia touch screen built-in Baidu intelligent interconnection system 3.0, support Apple CarPlay mobile phone interconnection, as well as L2+ level intelligent driver assistance system and other intelligent configurations. Who says the joint venture model configuration must be lower than the autonomous model?
In terms of price, the smart running ACE currently has a terminal discount of about 10,000 yuan, so the landing price of the 1.5T model is only about 150,000, and the competitiveness is quite good.
As a sister brand of Volkswagen, Skoda has the same quality and craftsmanship, which is the first-class level of the joint venture, but at the same time the price is more affordable. As an entry-level small SUV of Skoda, Komic is definitely a low-priced high-quality product, with a starting price of less than 90,000, and the top price is only more than 120,000 points, plus terminal discounts, basically about 100,000 can buy products of the same origin as volkswagen.
To know that SAIC Volkswagen's smaller size of the armor, its 1.5L model starting price is more than 110,000, you can imagine how cost-effective Komic is.
The appearance of the Komic resembles that of the eldest brother Kodiak, and there is a slight unique flavor in the typical Ashkenazi calm temperament. However, the professor here recommends the GT version of the model, which has more dynamic slam, and the body size is slightly larger than the ordinary version of the model, which looks more recognizable!
But how should you choose between 1.5L and 1.2T power? The professor actually recommends the 1.5L model. First of all, the 1.5L model matches the 6AT gearbox smoothly and reliably, and it will not be much worse than the 1.2T+7-speed dual clutch in terms of power, and the reliability in the later period is better, and the maintenance cost is also lower.
Although the product strength of SUV models with independent brands in the price range of 100,000-150,000 is already prominent enough, these three models are also very good choices for those who want to start a joint venture brand.
