In order to more intuitively show the performance of different models in terms of "new car commerciality", on the basis of "new car commercial evaluation", the car quality network more intuitively shows the advantages and disadvantages of different models in terms of new car commerciality through the comparison of various sub-data, and objectively evaluates the data differences to provide consumers with more valuable car purchase suggestions. The cross-evaluation of the commerciality of new cars in this issue will be objectively judged from the level of "manufacturing process".
With the landing of policies such as two-child and three-child, as well as the obsessive pursuit of "big" by domestic consumers, the heat of the medium-sized SUV market can be described as a continuous rise, manufacturers not only launched many new models, but also took out their own housekeeping skills, for those who pay attention to "large space" and "high quality", medium-sized SUVs are definitely the best choice. This issue of the commodity horizontal review selects three popular mid-size SUVs, including GAC Toyota Highlander, Changan Lincoln Adventurer and Chery Range Rover Evoque L, to see how the sales representatives of these respective brands perform in terms of new car commerciality. Below, we will conduct a comprehensive comparison of each sub-data to explain it in detail for everyone.
1. Body craft
In the body process, from the test results, the Changan Lincoln Navigator performed relatively better, four of the five key test sites in the test results ahead of the other two models, while the overall gap uniformity of the Land Rover Evoque L was relatively good, of which the gap values of the "two sides of the front door - front fender" and "two sides of the rear fender - trunk cover" test point were smaller. However, in contrast, the gap values of each part of GAC Toyota Highlander vary greatly, and the performance in absolute terms is average.
In a comprehensive comparison, in a test of the body process, the gap value of some key test points of the Changan Lincoln Navigator is small, and the gap uniformity is better, better than the other two models; the Aurora L also has a better gap uniformity, but the overall gap average is slightly larger than that of the Navigator; the key test points of GAC Toyota Highlander are not only larger, the gap uniformity is also a mess, of which the test value of "both sides of the rear fender - trunk cover" is even close to 7mm.
2. Paint film level
In the paint film level test, from the test results, the average thickness of the paint film of the three models reached the standard value of the advanced car (120μm -150μm), of which the average thickness of the aurora L vehicle was even as high as 294.9μm, and the performance was worthy of recognition.
From the test results of the five major parts, it can be seen that the thickness of the Land Rover Aurora L paint film is quite outstanding, but due to the low value of the engine hatch and roof, the gap with other parts is large. The average thickness of the paint film of GAC Toyota Highlander vehicle reached 136.4μm, and the uniformity of the vehicle was good, but its trunk was consistent with Aurora L, and it was made of non-metallic materials, so the relevant data was not measured during the test. The Changan Lincoln Navigator vehicle paint film also exceeds the standard value of the high-end car, but the average thickness of the front fender and roof paint film is low.
In the comprehensive comparison, in the paint film level test, Land Rover Aurora L performed relatively well in terms of paint film thickness and spray uniformity, showing a high spraying process level. Gac Toyota Highlander and Changan Lincoln Navigator paint film thickness also performed excellently, but it was slightly insufficient in spray uniformity.
3. Air quality in the car
In the in-vehicle air quality test, only the formaldehyde component was detected in the car of Changan Lincoln Navigator, but the test values also met the relevant standards in the "Guidelines for Air Quality Evaluation in Passenger Cars" (National Standard OF THE People's Republic of China GB/T 27630-2011) jointly issued by the former Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China since March 1, 2012. In addition, the PM10 content of the Changan Lincoln Navigator is much higher than that of the other two models, or related to the test environment of the day.
4. Noise in the car
In the vehicle noise test, in addition to testing the noise of the engine entering the car at rest, idle speed, 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm, the test instrument will be placed at a position of about 10cm from the air conditioner outlet, and then the air conditioning air volume will be adjusted from small to large, and the air conditioning noise value of the driver position in different gears will be measured.
After actual testing, in the stationary state, all three models reached the minimum value of 30dB of the test instrument. With the increase of speed, the noise values of the three models have gradually increased, of which the most obvious trend is the Land Rover Aurora L, the noise value measured when the engine is at 3000 rpm has reached 53.8dB, followed by Changan Lincoln Navigator, and GAC Toyota Highlander because it is a hybrid model, so it only has a noise test value in the stationary state.
In the air conditioning noise test, GAC Toyota Highlander performed best in terms of the lowest gear noise, and the test data was at the middle and upper reaches level in the same level of the tested models; the performance of the Land Rover Aurora L in the lowest gear noise was significantly better than that of the other two models, but the noise test values of the three tests were within the normal range, and daily use would not cause too much interference to the human body.
After actual measurement, thanks to the fact that all of GAC Toyota Highlander series are equipped with the fourth-generation enhanced version of the THS II. Toyota Hybrid System, the vibration values of each test point are low regardless of the idle speed or load state of the vehicle, and the physical feeling of the personnel in the car is not obvious. In contrast, the changan Lincoln navigator steering wheel in the idle speed and load two states measured the value is higher, the actual test when the body feeling is relatively obvious, to a certain extent affected the test results.
5. Tire hub
In the tire hub test, the tire width, flat ratio and size are mainly evaluated. The Highlander and Aurora L both carry the mainstream 20-inch rims of the same class, and are nearly consistent in width and flat ratio; the Lincoln Navigator is equipped with a better visual 21-inch rim, and the tires are wider and the flat ratio is smaller.
6. Sunroof
In tests on sunroofs, all three models were equipped with openable panoramic sunroofs. After actual measurement, land Rover Aurora L is dominant in terms of skylight length, Highlander is consistent with aurora L width, and in terms of openable area, Changan Lincoln Navigator skylight can be opened in a larger area, which can bring a more open sense of openness to the rear row.
7. Control system
In terms of acceleration and brake pedal height difference and spacing that affect the driving experience, the performance of the three models is relatively close, and the step difference and spacing are within a reasonable range, so that the design can prevent the phenomenon of mixing the throttle and the brake pedal, and at the same time, in congested road conditions, the frequent alternating pedaling of the driving foot will not make the driver feel tired. In addition, in terms of steering wheel adjustment, the Adjustable Angle of changan Lincoln Navigator is the widest, while the adjustable distance between front and rear is better performed by GAC Toyota Highlander and Land Rover Aurora L. On the whole, the Land Rover Evoque L performed better than the other two models in the steering wheel adjustment test.
8. Seat
In terms of seat configuration, according to the measured data, the main driver's seat of the Changan Lincoln Navigator has the largest range of stroke adjustment, which can meet the driving habits of most drivers.
In terms of cushion length, the Changan Lincoln Navigator, whether it is the front seat or the rear seat, the length of the cushion is very impressive, compared with the other two models have a good performance. Of course, the GAC Toyota Highlander and Land Rover Aurora L cushion lengths also perform well, giving the driver leg support and ride comfort within the normal range.
In terms of rear seat back angle, the second row of seats of the three models supports backrest adjustment, and when the backrest is adjusted to the end, the largest reclining angle of the second row of seats at this time is GAC Toyota Highlander, which is more comfortable to ride, while The Changan Lincoln Navigator has the smallest angle, the passenger's back is too straight, and a long ride may produce fatigue.
In terms of rear floor raised height and width, the Changan Lincoln Navigator rear floor bulge is the smallest and has the least impact on the comfort of the middle passengers, while the Land Rover Aurora L rear floor raised height is higher, making the rear middle passenger unable to get off the foot, which affects comfort to a certain extent.
9. Trunk
In terms of the trunk, from the measured data, GAC Toyota Highlander performed better in terms of maximum width, minimum width and height of the trunk threshold, but the vertical height was average. The Changan Lincoln Navigator, on the other hand, was superior in vertical height, but the rest of the data was decent. Although aurora L does not have a prominent point, the overall performance is at the mainstream level at the same level.
10. Parking radar
In the radar induction test, according to the existing test data, the Changan Lincoln Navigator reversing radar detection ability is strong, the longest detection distance reaches 130cm, and the rear obstacle can be found early. Referring to the previous test experience, the closer to 25cm in the continuous beeping stage, the closer it is to daily use habits. Judging from the measured data, the continuous beep prompt distance of the reversing radar of Changan Lincoln Navigator is just 25cm, which is consistent with the test experience value, while the nearest prompt distance of GAC Toyota Highlander and Land Rover Aurora L is 15cm and 20cm respectively, which is slightly different from the standard value, and it is necessary to pay more attention to daily use.
In terms of front radar, the continuous buzzing distance of the Changan Lincoln Navigator is also 25cm, which is consistent with the test experience value and meets the driving habits of the driver, while the nearest prompt distance of GAC Toyota Highlander and Land Rover Aurora L is also 15cm and 20cm respectively, which is slightly different from the standard value.
11. Lighting vision
In the blind spot test session directly in front of the field of view, we used the 70 cm high pile bucket as a reference object, and then adjusted the relative position of the vehicle until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver's seat. According to the existing test data, the Changan Lincoln Navigator benefited from the more inclined front end, the front vision performance was significantly better than the other two models, and it was also in the middle and upper reaches of the same class of models tested. In terms of rear vision blind spots, GAC Toyota Highlander is equipped with streaming media rearview mirrors, so the rear vision is closer, and the clarity performance is quite good, which is more suitable for daily use.
In the field of view test of the exterior mirror, the left rearview mirrors of the three models were not equipped with double curvature rearview mirrors, but the Changan Lincoln Navigator benefited from the larger lens, and the left outer rearview mirror range angle was very wide, reaching 28.4 °; in the right rearview mirror, the Changan Lincoln Navigator was equipped with double curvature exterior mirrors, so its right rearview range angle was relatively wide, reaching 30.1 °, better than the other two models.
summary
Through the comparison of the above items, it is not difficult to find that the performance of the three mainstream medium-sized SUVs selected this time has reached the expectations of the expert jury in terms of commerciality, which is in line with the level of this level of models. Of course, the advantages of the three cars in various tests are different. Among them, GAC Toyota Highlander has outstanding performance in air quality, in-vehicle vibration and in-car noise, but lacks in body technology and average thickness of paint film; Changan Lincoln Navigator is satisfactory in body technology, cushion length and parking radar; Land Rover Evoque L benefits from the vehicle's paint film thickness is relatively excellent, in a test of paint film level, while the aurora L's openable panoramic sunroof area is also quite impressive, which can give the rear a good sense of transparency. On the whole, although the three cars have won and lost each other in the commodity test, the overall performance has not opened a significant gap, and they can meet the daily use needs of consumers.
