When you buy your first car, have you ever been quietly warned: Remember, don't buy a top match!
They will tell you that the manufacturer's "cutting leeks" depends on the top match, the depreciation rate is high when reselling, and the configuration is too much to use... In short: buy the top match and lose a lot.
The old saying makes sense, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. After all, as cars evolve into "smart travel partners" and "third living spaces", high-level intelligent driver assistance systems and easier-to-use intelligent interconnect systems have become just needed by users, and these configurations are often carried on the high/top match.
Therefore, the real insider will first look at it and compare it to the top match. Because it condenses the most powerful selling point of a model. Such a comparison is precisely the best way to judge which manufacturer is "most conscientious" and pick up the treasure model by the way.
Today, we're going to top the big hits in SUV. Look at whether many "top matches" have "pits" or "mines". For example, the following three models: the ford lingrui that is in the limelight, the sales evergreen volkswagen tanyue, and the honda haoying with a good reputation, their common point is two-wheel drive, top matching.
A more silky smart driving experience is not only available to Tesla
In the past two years, a very important reason for the emergence of new car-making forces is that it can bring users a different intelligent driving experience than traditional fuel vehicles, and Tesla is one of the leaders. In fact, the veteran car companies that are accelerating the transformation to intelligence have also begun to let users feel more and more surprises, and through the joint efforts of hardware and software, they have given new connotations and vitality to traditional fuel vehicles. For example, these three products have their own characteristics in the intelligent driving experience:
Through the above table, you will be surprised to find that Tanyue, who was once very popular, even bitten the CR-V cake fiercely, although the top price was as high as 236,800, but in the field of intelligent driving, it almost handed over the "white roll". Its two-car radar, RVC parking rearview imaging system, and cruise control are almost on par with the assisted driving level of autonomous SUVs 10 years ago.
Two years ago, claiming to support "L2 level automatic driving", Haoying really caught fire. The car is equipped with honda SENSING (Safety Super Sense) system, which adopts a combination of ACC active cruise control and lane keeping/offset suppression, although the TSR traffic recognition allows it to adjust its speed according to signs such as speed limits when cruising, and eat less tickets. However, since ACC only supports low-speed following, Haoying's L2 level does not cover the full speed domain, and in most cases people are still the driving body.
Looking at Lingrui again, although it has not yet been officially listed, this new car has caused heated discussion on the Internet, and an important reason is that it is equipped with a more advanced and comprehensive intelligent driving assistance system. For example, thanks to the leading hardware and algorithms of the same level, Lingrui supports full-speed L2 intelligent driving, realizing intelligent heeling, stopping, steering, lane centering and lane correction assistance, and intelligent scene reconstruction HMI display. At the same time, the car also supports APA visual fusion fully automatic parking, can choose their own parking space, to achieve 50 meters of trail reversing assistance, is the same treatment as Tesla's 32,000 optional bags. Since the Ford Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System has been polished in the Chinese market for more than 3 years, the radar + vision fusion solution used is very mature, so it is easy to use + reliable = rest assured!
On the one hand, it supports intelligent scene reconstruction HMI display, 360-degree intelligent panoramic image + AR real-life map, allowing people to achieve full-dimensional perception of road conditions, maximizing "people" to reduce misjudgment and improve prejudgment; on the other hand, vehicles can realize full-speed domain intelligent follow/stop/heel steering, self-speed regulation, automatic lane change and lane keeping.
Because of this, compared with Haoying's primary L2 intelligent driving, Lingrui is further equipped with TJA traffic congestion assistance system, ICA super cruise (integrated adaptive cruise), DCLC lighting intelligent auxiliary lane change system and so on.
In fact, any L2 level intelligent driving is inseparable from the mature "driving safety system". Last year, Haoying was exposed that a car owner who relied too much on Haoying's L2 caused a left-right scratch, causing a network reliability controversy. This is because Haoying simply relies on "lane keeping and correction + collision mitigation braking system" to achieve lane centering, and the safety redundancy is too low. Although it is also equipped with LWC blind spot display system and emergency brake warning system, in case of emergency, Honda SENSING can only "do it in a hurry", and will warn but will not intervene. In contrast, Lingrui is also equipped with ELK emergency lane keeping, which will vigorously correct the vehicle trajectory in an emergency and ensure reliability.
Where is the top blood book? "Luxury values" are very different
In the era of new car manufacturing, consumers' perception of luxury is changing. Traditional luxury brands shape "somatosensory luxury", and new forces shape "digital wisdom luxury". These differences in concepts can be seen from these three top pairs.
According to the old rules, on the chart. Let's see where the top matching people spend their "blood money"? Is it worth it?
Got it? Tanyue's luxury values are "traditional", and they are quite authentic to the Audi lamp factory, which belongs to the "master of playing with lights" to create a first-class atmosphere.
As we all know, "lights" is the most important identity of a car, there are car logos during the day, and the car logo can only be recognized at night. For business people, the public tanyue is "double face", and the exterior door handles and side signage details are arranged with mood lights; especially the "VW Tyron" logo at night when the door is opened suddenly creates an aura and high-end feeling.
Interestingly, even the eye-catching star-rail roof contour line and roof rack are available, but the extremely practical automatic near and far light is not equipped. The top positioning of Tanyue is indeed enough business and not pragmatic.
So, what is the "point" of Haoying luxury and high-end?
The answer is very simple: heavy, "serve" you to the extreme comfort.
Although the three owners' seats, except for Lingrui, are 10-way adjustments; tanyue and Haoying main drivers are equipped with 12-way electric adjustment with waist rests. But no one has a good picture: vanity mirrors, glasses cases, dialogue mirrors, front seat pockets, all kinds of intimate details plus points, paying great attention to the daily convenience and interaction of the members of the car.
Haoying Top is not only worried about your "car life", but also worried about your "car sleep". As can be seen in the above table, the simplest window, Tanyue and Lingrui are all equipped with a one-button lift; Haoying's idea is more, not only installing thermal insulation glass for the front row, but also carefully installing privacy glass and shading small curtains for the rear row.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, Haoying in order to create a "sense of privacy and purity", also equipped with ANC active noise reduction function, SVC volume with speed adjustment. I have to say that the details of the Japanese car are really impeccable.
Although in the comparison of the detailed configuration of the lighting and the cockpit, the lingrui performance is centered. But does Lingrui have the main luxury "power point"?
The answer is yes. You will find that Lingrui is definitely the "new luxury". Although it maintains a central level in lighting and driving comfort. But in the field of intelligent networking, it can be called the absolute first camp.
First of all, the 12.3-inch double suspension integrated intelligent connection screen, the cool smart cockpit will probably throw out the Tanyue and Haoying streets. It is the first model equipped with Tencent TAI 4.0 automotive intelligent system, BMW's same Tencent small scene, no need to download and support voice interaction, more than 100 boutique small scenes covering eating, playing, living, traveling, is a practical application platform for Bimmer to stamp and demonstrate.
The most sought after by contemporary young people should be the personalized interface, with more than 200 open interfaces, which can support the integration of multi-dimensional intelligent cockpits such as desktops, applications, customized skins, and customized operations. At the same time, WeChat one-click start is the need of the old and young, full voice interaction, exclusive steering wheel case, multi-terminal information seamless flow, almost called an office artifact.
Comprehensively, this "leak" has really been picked up, and the "treasure model" can be called a call. Although all three vehicles are two-wheel drive top-mounted and have similar displacements, the configuration and price are inversely proportional. Tanyue, which is priced at 236,900, is the best at playing "face"; Haoying, who is 216,800, is good at driving "Lizi"; Ford Lingrui pre-sale is only 188,800 yuan but "dimensionality reduction strike", and Lizi, face and future intelligence are all taken into account.
Not to mention the size, Ford Lingrui is a medium-sized SUV that "increases a lap", and the space even has the advantage of rolling pressure compared to Tanyue and Haoying. In this way, it seems that the "high-end big pit theory" is not reliable, and even if the top price of the lingrui listing is increased by 10,000-20,000, you take home the "cost performance" to kill the next door about 230,000 tanyue. Who dares to question that you are the "wronged boss"? It will only make the next door neighbor bitterly praise you for choosing a car.
