In the domestic auto market, many joint venture mid-size cars do not seem to have caught up with the dividend of "consumption upgrade", and the growth momentum is suppressed by the compact cars that are constantly increasing in size, and many people directly skip this level to choose higher-priced and more grade luxury cars. This also forces many joint venture medium-sized cars to choose to reduce the price or upgrade to enhance their competitiveness, today for everyone to recommend several models with a budget of 150,000-200,000 yuan to choose from, the appearance and configuration are not bad, see if it is in line with your wishes.
Changan Ford Mondeo
Guidance price: 19.28-21.38 million yuan
Maximum discount: about 40,000
The Mondeo is a classic sedan model of Ford and has also had excellent sales performance in China. Mondeo's grille features the iconic shark's beak design for a high degree of recognizability. But this family-based design language is about to become history, and the new generation of Mondeo that is about to go on the market will adopt a new design style, which will be somewhat similar to the new medium-sized SUV released earlier, the EVOS.
In the interior part of the car, Mondeo roughly follows the main design elements of the previous generation of models, but the central control part has undergone a large change, a vertical layout of the 12.8-inch LCD touch screen is particularly eye-catching, the following also retains several commonly used physical buttons and knobs, the operation is more convenient, the knob-type electronic shift to the central channel to save more space, the aesthetics are also good. With a wheelbase of 2850mm, the Mondeo has a spacious rear seat and satisfactory seat comfort.
At present, the Mondeo on sale, only 1.5T version, the maximum power is 182 horsepower, matching the 6AT gearbox, the power output is relatively smooth, the acceleration of the middle and rear sections is more powerful, and the fly in the ointment is that the fuel consumption of the urban section is not good, but it is also harmless. Mondeo will usher in a replacement this year, so there are generally large discounts at present, and the cost performance is still quite high.
Dongfeng Yueda Kia K5 Kaiku
Guidance price: 16.18-20.58 million yuan
Maximum discount: about 20,000
Korean cars in the country suffered unprecedented survival pressure, model replacement can not be delayed, including Kia K5, the replacement of the K5 exterior design is very radical, grille and headlights integrated, visual impact is very strong, but also avoid the embarrassment of colliding with Skoda face. The rear of the car uses penetrating tail lights to enhance the sense of grade, and for the first time, K5 also has Chinese name - Kaiku.
The interior of K5 Kaiku is the same as the exterior, focusing on creating a sense of technology and sportiness. The dual 12.3-inch siamese screen on the center console is following the trend, and a large number of silver chrome decorations have been added, and the visual effect is more prominent. From the perspective of materials, it is more in line with the positioning of its flagship car. In terms of space, the 2900mm wheelbase brings excellent rear space, the front McPherson rear multi-link independent suspension is a more comfortable adjustment, coupled with the moderate softness of the seat, the comfort of the ride is good.
The K5 Iscouve is available in 1.5T+7DCT and 2.0T+8AT powertrains, with a maximum power of 170 hp and 240 hp respectively. The 1.5T version of the model is enough to cope with daily needs, if you pursue the fun of high horsepower, you can try the 2.0T version, the fuel consumption difference between the two is not big, but you need to increase some car purchase budget.
Chevrolet Maribor XL
Guidance price: 16.49-21.99 million yuan
Chevrolet Maribor XL is a model with obvious advantages and disadvantages, first of all, the advantages, in the joint venture model within 200,000, the three major parts of the Maribao XL are relatively thick, such as the use of more aluminum parts in the chassis, which can reduce the quality of the spring and enhance the handling experience. The disadvantage is that the interior is not high-grade enough, and it does not match the appearance of the atmosphere, which is also the focus of many car owners. The front face design elements of The Maribal XL are relatively rich, the front of the car is relatively low, and the body shows a forward swooping posture, which has a good sports atmosphere, which also makes it attract more and more young people's attention.
In the interior part, although the Maribao XL lacks texture, the practical performance is relatively excellent. Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, CarPlay and other functions are readily available, and the rich physical buttons are more convenient to operate, and I sincerely hope that the interior can be redesigned in the subsequent replacement models.
In terms of power, The Maribao XL also has 1.5T and 2.0T two power options to choose from, the maximum power is 169 horsepower and 237 horsepower, and the matching is a 9AT gearbox, the power output is relatively smooth, coupled with precise steering, the control experience is in the upper middle level of the same level of models.
The above three models generally have a discount of 20,000-40,000, and the price after the discount is closer to the high-end model of some compact cars, but it has obvious advantages in terms of space. If you had the idea of buying a mid-size joint venture sedan, which of the above would be your first choice? Feel free to say your answer in the comments.
