Recently, a friend asked such a question, the same budget of about 170,000 (naked car price), should I choose an A-class car or a B-class car? Many people say that the B-class car has more space, and the overall is more advanced, and it is more faceted to drive out. This is relative to the joint venture model, so what if the A-class car of the luxury brand is compared with the B-class car of the joint venture brand?
Let's take the Audi A3L (sedan version) as an example, which currently has different sizes of offers. For example, in Beijing, the discount is 21,000; Shanghai has a discount of 31,400, and Hangzhou has a discount of 32,400. It can be said that at present, in most areas, the low configuration of audi A3L can be about 170,000 (naked car price).
And this price is just the entry price of mainstream joint venture B-class cars such as Camry and Accord. So the question is, the same 170,000, can the choice of Audi A3L be more faceted?
It is undeniable that, at least in the eyes of young people, the brand will be more convincing than the level, Audi and Toyota, Honda, obviously the former is more attractive. Of course, it also depends on the individual's concept. Personally, I think that most people choose B-class cars, and they must have a need for space. Take the Camry (low-end version), 4885mm long, 2825mm wheelbase, compared to the Audi A3L (low-end version) is very cramped, the length is only 4548mm, wheelbase 2680mm.
Just talking about space, audi a3L is completely incomparable with camry, but to meet the daily home, it is also enough, but it is not spacious. If one would think that the spacious back row is a high-end performance, that is a different matter.
To say that the interior, this generation of Audi A3L is not bad, even if it is low-ended, the full LCD instrument screen, the central control touch screen is not absent. In addition, active braking, rear reversing radar, one-button start, Internet of Vehicles, LED high and near lights are all brought. In addition, there are many configurations that can be installed, such as matrix LED headlights, main and passenger seat heating, HUD head-up display, steering wheel heating, automatic parking and other configurations. In terms of configuration, even if it is a low-end version of the Audi A3L, it is rich enough.
Finally, speaking of power and chassis, you know, most of the joint venture B-class cars are low-equipped, and the power is more beginner. For example, 2.0L self-priming, 1.5T turbine, such performance as a home, is enough. The Audi A3L is fully powered by 1.4T, although it can not talk about any performance, but driving a 4-meter 5 car, it is more than enough to rub, in terms of driving sense, it will be more relaxed.
Finally, there's the chassis, which we actually experienced with the Audi A3L and camry before, I think so. Also an A-Class car, the Audi A3L is more advanced and tighter than the chassis of the joint venture A-Class. However, compared with the joint venture B-class car, the advantage is not large, and it is necessary to win or lose, or the joint venture B-class car has more advantages.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
As for who is more faceted, I think the key lies in your own perception. Some people think that driving an Audi represents face, and Toyota is always Toyota; some people think that a bigger car is a premium, so the answer is different. For others, the Audi A3L and Camry may not be able to talk about it. But what kind of car you choose, represents a different tone. For example, the Audi A3L has more petty bourgeois sentiment for young people, and the Camry represents pragmatism. In contrast, choosing a luxury brand car may feel different.
