Hello everyone, I am the director MCJian, I have been dealing with cars for 6 years, an average of two cars a week, counting more than 500 cars I have contacted. From more than 20,000 small electric to Lambor bentley rolls, they have also experienced. No, my "Acura King" should almost rest, planning to change cars, did not want to be young when I was a decision, to choose a car for myself, but became indecisive. This person is middle-aged, and he really has to think about too much.
When I bought a car back then, it was very simple, find the nearest 4S store from home, choose a budget configuration that makes sense, and the car that doesn't look bumpy is finished. Now it is not the same, first of all, to take care of a family of old and young, the configuration is still indispensable, the value can not be dropped at the same time, the lower the fuel consumption, the better, and finally this price can not be too expensive, more than 200,000. In summary, two cars came to my mind, the BYD Tang DM-i and the Trumpchi GS8 Dual Engine.
Both cars are designed to be able to play, and Tang DM-i's Dragon Face as a whole looks rounded, although it has not changed much in recent years, but it has not yet reached the point of aesthetic fatigue. In fact, I still hope that BYD can have some breakthroughs in appearance, it is said that the new Tang DM-i has appeared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, but as a medium-term change, the appearance of the change may be minimal.
And Trumpchi recently launched the second generation of GS8 dual engine is much more powerful, the dragon scale wing of the big grille that is called an arrogance. A lot of people feel that the force is too strong, but I personally accept it. Because the real car doesn't look so exaggerated.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Tang DM-i are: 4870mm× 1950mm×1725mm, and the wheelbase is: 2820mm. The GS8 dual engine is more than 5 meters long and has a wheelbase of 10cm more, only the width is the same. But I don't want a car with too big body size, because in Beijing, there are too many cars, and many times it is really inconvenient to have too big cars, and it can be said that the size of the GS8 is the upper limit that I can accept, even a little more than that. So Don DM-i is more suitable for me.
As a 7-seat SUV, the longer wheelbase brings more affluent seating space, the GS8 performance is undoubtedly better, but also provides a 6-seat seat layout, which can make the passengers in the second row more comfortable, although my family does not have a big man, but if there is a better experience, who will refuse?
In terms of interior design, I think these two cars are similar, the top is a large central control screen plus LCD instrument, after a long time you will even feel that these two cars are a bit like, nothing more than Tang DM-i's central control screen can also be rotated. In actual driving, Tang DM-i's gear handlebars occasionally clip to the little thumb when changing gears, which is deeply appreciated by WenMeimei.
The console of the GS8 is a bit on the high side for me, and when I hit the direction, I don't know if I have a problem with my looks, or if there is a problem with the design of this car. Of course, these are all small flaws and harmless.
In terms of configuration, the difference between these two cars is really not big, really really not big, you have me, the rest of the different, are basically not used. However, Tang DM-i's co-driver is adjusted with leg rest and waist support, this function may not be in the eyes of others, but I am not the same, my co-driver is sitting on a prominent identity, she is good I can be good, she is satisfied with me to be happy, understand all understand.
The rear seats of the GS8 can be electrically reclined, providing some convenience when going out to play, shopping, and at the same time having X attributes, but both cars are equipped with sensor trunks, which is also a very practical function.
Next, let's talk about driving, I drive for about 2 and a half hours a day, half high speed, half urban area, so I am very concerned about fuel consumption, after all, we are not rich. Tang DM-i is a plug-in hybrid, and the top NEDC pure electric endurance is 112km, which means that I can basically meet my commute to work in a day.
Some people say that charging is a thing, in fact, for the tram, the mileage is not a real problem, whether you can charge at any time is the root cause. And I, who happened to have a fixed parking space, was still underground, and more coincidentally, there was a cement column on the side, and I could still install charging piles. You see, where does it make sense?
So from the perspective of fuel economy, Tang DM-i is very suitable, and its chassis is tuned more textured than GS8, and NVH's performance is better, after all, people are two-fifths of a tram. Even in the case of feeding, Tang DM-i can control the fuel consumption at about 6L/100km, and the EHS electromix system makes you basically feel the intervention of the engine, and it is very smooth to drive.
The GS8 twin engine is just test-driven a few years ago, with the power combination of trumpchi 2.0T engine and Toyota's fourth-generation THS transmission, without charging, refueling and running. The logic of this hybrid system is actually similar to that of Toyota, reducing fuel consumption while ensuring basic power demand. In the way I normally drive this car to and from work, the fuel consumption is controlled at 7-8L/100km, which is already good for this big car.
Judging from the official 0-100km acceleration time, the GS8 dual engine is faster than Tang DM-i by more than a second, but the actual driving feel is similar, and my family does not care about one second or two seconds. GS8 dual engine fuel consumption is definitely not dry plug-in hybrid Tang DM-i, engine noise control is not as good as Tang DM-i, but whether it is the riding space, or the comfort of the seat, it is better than the Tang DM-i, there is more huD, although others can not see, but I am the driver, I look at it is happy, it is satisfied. Both driver assistance vehicles are full-speed adaptive cruises, which is equally divided, but to be honest I don't use them much.
In summary, these two cars have nothing outstanding, there is no fatal flaw, there is an MPV at home, the car is tired, change a fuel-efficient SUV, I choose between the two of them there is no big problem. In addition, I also watched the hybrid of Hoshikoshi, but unfortunately it is a three-cylinder machine, the sound is not good, Lynk & Co 09 and Mocha DHT-PHEV, over budget, can not afford to buy. That's it. But Don DM-i has to queue up, and he has to come out with a new model, so wait. It is not clear whether there is a rejection reaction between the GS8 twin engine and toyota's hybrid, and so on. Maybe at the end, I may buy a big Mercedes-Benz GLB for face.
