For friends who want to buy luxury mid-size SUVs, no matter how you choose, Audi Q5L, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac XT5 and Volvo XC60 These 6 cars are difficult to get around, right? In the end, these 6 models are very mainstream and meet the needs of most people. Of course, there are also a small number of people who will consider the Lexus NX, Acura RDX, Infiniti QX50 and Range Rover Evoque L, through the sales data, the proportion of these 3 models is not large, compared to the 6 models to be "unpopular". Since the target is locked, the next step is simple, today we will talk about these 6 mainstream luxury mid-size SUVs, which is stronger or weaker? It may subvert your perceptions.
I don't want to write a long article, I write tired, you look tired, therefore, not a specific evaluation of one by one, just simply and clearly do a big horizontal evaluation between 6 models. I will compare the power system, four-wheel drive system, sound insulation, chassis suspension, body rigidity and other aspects to analyze their comprehensive strength. First of all, the power system, these 6 cars in addition to the Lincoln Navigator to provide 2.7T engine, the rest are all the same 2.0T engine, of course, Lincoln Navigator also provides 2.0T engine. The Cadillac XT5 and Lincoln Navigator's 2.0T engines have only one tuning, both high-powered, and the other four models have 2.0T engines. For most people, even the 2.0T low-power engine has enough power output, such as the low-power engine of the Audi Q5L, which can complete zero hundred acceleration in about 8 seconds. This thing can be selected according to their own requirements for power output and their own car purchase budget, and the right one is the best.
Speaking of the four-wheel drive system, if you want to rank, the Cadillac XT5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC's four-wheel drive system has the strongest ability to get out of trouble, followed by the Audi Q5L, BMW X3, Volvo XC60 and Lincoln Navigator's four-wheel drive system are very weak, especially bmw X3's xDrive timely four-wheel drive system, even a cross-axis can not pass. Audi Q5L's quadtro timely quadtro four-wheel drive system is not a "real quattro", the real quattro matches the Toussen differential +8AT gearbox, the current Audi A8 and Audi Q7 are real quattro, as for the Audi Q5L, Audi A6L and Audi A4L quadtro four-wheel drive system, just a simplified version, the ability to get out of trouble has indeed declined, which is why it is inferior to the Mercedes-Benz GLC and Cadillac XT5.
Next is the sound insulation effect, ranking, BMW X3 and Lincoln Navigator the best, Audi Q5L and Cadillac XT5 followed, Mercedes-Benz GRC and Volvo XC60 in general. BMW X3 sound insulation effect beyond my expectations, I originally thought it would be similar to the BMW 3 Series, in fact, its sound insulation effect is similar to the BMW 5 Series, the car is very quiet, with decibel testing, the results are also among the best. Lincoln Navigator's sound insulation effect is not "born" good, but through the "acquired" material stacking, such as its sound insulation cotton is very heavy, but also the use of three layers of soundproof glass and active noise reduction technology to improve the car silence effect, the outside of the car isolation is very good. As for the Mercedes-Benz GLC, it really contradicts its luxurious and elegant identity, the engine is noisy, there is a rough grainy feeling when running, and the sound insulation effect is not its strength.
Chassis suspension, this thing is very subjective, some people like sports, some people like comfort, it is difficult to generalize, if you rank from the combination of the two, BMW X3 and Audi Q5L chassis texture is the best, Cadillac XT5 and Volvo XC60 second, Lincoln Navigator and Mercedes-Benz GLC general, the chassis suspension of the latter two for the control of the body posture is not calm, the body of the follow-up is very dragging.
Finally, the body is rigid, their ranking can be arranged alphabetically, if the vehicle is tilted on the slope, a rear wheel off the ground, open the trunk and then close, the BBA can be closed at one time, and the medium-sized SUVs of second-tier luxury brands cannot be closed normally.
On the whole, the best sound insulation effect is the BMW X3 and Lincoln Navigator, the most powerful four-wheel drive system is the Mercedes-Benz GRC and Cadillac XT5, the best body rigidity is the BBA, the most balanced chassis suspension is the BMW X3 and Audi Q5L, as for the power system, they are not bad 6. Does this result subvert your perception?
