With a budget of 200,000 yuan, I want to start an entry-level BBA, which is still one of the most topical car buying problems during the Spring Festival.
For many young people, just a few years of work, with some savings in hand, there is little demand for vehicle space before they start a family. At this time, an entry-level luxury brand car that can be used to shield the wind and rain, after forming a family in the future, does not have to have too much pressure to replace it is indeed a good choice.
As for which car to choose? At the end of last month, the 2022 Audi A3 new car was launched, and after the Lunar New Year, the terminal discounts tended to stabilize, and it was time to pull out and compare with the BMW 1 Series.
In fact, the choice between the BMW 1 Series and the Audi A3 is not difficult, because the style of the two cars is completely different.
The biggest highlight of the 1 series is the innate sport of the BMW brand, although the low-end 120i model is equipped with a three-cylinder engine, matching the dual-clutch transmission that BMW rarely uses, which sounds very impure. But the powertrain of the 1 series still has 125i after all, and 2.0T+8AT has nothing to say. The 120i model itself is also the existence of pulling down the entry price.
However, the precursor is the commonality of this generation of the 1 series, which is an unavoidable problem. BMW, which once said not to build a front-drive car, has finally made a compromise for the market to sink in the past two years, from the 2 Series Travel, X1, X2, and now the 1 Series are all front-drive without exception. Many people think that there is no rear drive can not be called BMW at all, not the back drive to talk about sports? But for family cars, the rear drive is more of a spiritual symbol, in reality, daily driving, even if the driving is more intense, in fact, few people can enjoy the fun of the back drive. Many people realize that when they are driving a rear-drive car, it is often in the parking lot on a rainy day.
In fact, the rear drive is not exactly the same as operation and fun, and there is another word that really achieves the driving experience called tuning. BMW's accumulation or strength lies in the expression of the driving experience, even in ECO and comfort mode, the dynamic feedback of BMW brand vehicles can be clearly distinguished, up to X7, down to 1 Series.
Of course, after the 1 series was changed to a front-drive platform, such as the rear-drive characteristics, the front and rear 50:50 counterweights have indeed ceased to exist, which must be objectively acknowledged. But in actual experience, it still has the foundation of BMW, and your need for control in daily driving will not be lacking in the 1 series. Further, the less optimistic about the front-drive BMW, the more the control has the significance of image engineering for the 1 Series, even if it is to avoid everyone from seeing jokes, BMW will definitely do a good job of tuning the 1 Series.
As for the Audi A3, it makes the Audi home model as balanced as ever, and you can hardly find obvious flaws in it like the 1 Series, but there is no personality tendency exclusive to it.
For example, in terms of appearance, BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 are both family styles, and they all have clear brand recognition. But Audi has obviously put more effort into the design of this entry-level car, giving people a feeling close to the A4L, and giving two kits, there is a stark difference, 17-inch entry, 18-inch ceiling of the silhouette style is exquisite and diverse. Audi A3 also has a dark green paint surface is more special in the same class of models, very popular with female users. Green paint has always been a science in the automotive industry, not easy to tune, if you are not careful, you will be the whole style of killing Matt, tuned but has a different style.
Through this small detail, we can also see the difference in the positioning of the Audi A3 and the BMW 1 Series. The untrimmed 1 series gives you the manipulation that straight men are keen to discuss. The Audi A3 will be more delicate, making some changes for female users, and in the Internet era where women are swinging their fists everywhere, it seems to be more aware of their need for refinement.
In addition, put the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series together, the former also has a clear advantage in the interior of the luxurious. For example, the interior shape of the Audi A3 similar to the small Lamborghini, the high-end model fur-filled seats, LCD instrument lights, etc., the atmosphere inside the car is much better than the 1 series of plastic feeling of the interior, at least the look and feel can give you the appearance of a luxury car. Moreover, Audi's perceived quality is also well known, and the strength of the damping, the sound of the knobs, and the creation of details are all incomparable to the 1 series.
A3
Manage
The highlights of the 2022 Audi A3 new model are basically upgraded, such as the addition of technological functions such as the Internet of Vehicles and parallel assistance, and the configuration is more complete. In contrast, the 1 Series does not have L2-level driving assistance even if it is equipped with the top, and it lacks a high-end convenience configuration that highlights the identity of a luxury car.
Of course, in terms of the handling that the 1 series is best at, the Audi A3 is not as smart as BMW, and it is more inclined to create a stable driving feeling, relatively balanced, this feeling is actually compared with the A4L (except for the 45TFSI model) and the 3 series, and the A6L and 5 series ratios also exist.
Although the audi a3's guidance price range and preferential range are almost the same as those of the 1 series, the Audi A3 series now only offers 1.4T+ dry dual-clutch power equipment. Relatively speaking, if the budget can be 200,000 slightly to the right, according to the 1 series of more than 40,000 cash offers, in fact, you can buy 2.0T + 8AT 125i complete body model, the performance experience is indeed far from A3 comparable. In addition, the Audi A3 car series is divided into hatchback and sedan versions, the latter has a certain premium component, and the 1 series of domestic sedans, to some extent, has pulled back some disadvantages in terms of price ratio.
Write at the end
To sum up, we must first affirm that the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series are good cars of this level, even if the price is low, still retain their own flavor, so do not resist them because of the entry-level status.
As for the 1 series, for those who can't hold the budget of the 3 series, it is a good opportunity to enter the pit BMW. After all, with the Audi A3 together, if you are more interested in sports, control, the above shortcomings such as the plastic interior of the 1 series and the mediocre configuration are nonsense, just choose the 1 series.
And if you want to get more luxury, it may come from the configuration of the stack, from the exquisite use of materials, from the 200,000 level of consumption income is in line with your needs for a luxury brand model exquisite feeling, then audi A3 will be worth your understanding.
