Although SUVs are the first choice for many people to buy a car, it is also unrealistic to let them really take the SUV to play off-road. In fact, many people buy SUVs with the expectation of going off-road, but this expectation value is not high, more often SUVs and cars bear the same task of commuting, which also makes some consumers hesitate, in the daily sympathetic environment, is the SUV really more practical than the car?
In this regard, MYAUTO sees it this way. First of all, the environment of urban commuting means that the average speed of the car will not be very fast. For fuel vehicles, whether it is a sedan or an SUV, the difference between the fuel consumption used to overcome wind resistance will not be very large. This is why many consumers think that SUVs are more fuel-intensive, but in fact, the difference in fuel consumption between cars and SUVs is not so large. Take the Kaiyi Xuanjie Pro we drove during this time, our average fuel consumption of 3,000 kilometers is 7.1, which is also roughly equivalent to the fuel consumption of cars with the same displacement.
Second, the continuous upgrading of automotive technology has created conditions for SUV commuting. As we all know, the fuel consumption of the car is not only to overcome the wind resistance and road resistance to consume energy, the fuel efficiency and transmission efficiency of the car powertrain are also a key factor. The 1.5T turbocharged engine equipped with the Kaiyi Xuanjie Pro has a thermal efficiency of up to 37.1%, and the CVT gearbox matched by it is not only high in transmission efficiency but also in a stepless speed shifting method, which can control fuel consumption at a relatively economical level.
In addition, the difference in the body of suvs and cars is still very different in terms of practicality. Compared with cars, SUVs have a larger size, which means that users can have a wider view and a more comfortable sitting posture when driving, and the city commute will be easier.
In the need to carry some relatively large items, such as furniture and appliances, seedlings and other suvs, SUVs with larger carrying space are obviously more practical. Therefore, in general, SUV will still be more practical than sedan in the environment of daily commuting, which is why many people prefer SUV even if it is used for commuting.
