Many consumers will be entangled in the high and low matching of the same model when buying a car, because the high-end configuration will often show more vehicle grade configuration, especially some appearance kits such as large wheels, which can directly make the vehicle look like it has been upgraded by more than one grade. However, many configurations are only visible and cannot be used.
Big hub
Many high-end models on the market will have large wheels with thin tires, which not only makes the vehicle more atmospheric, but also improves handling performance. However, for the usual grocery shopping models, the combination of large wheels and thin tires is not so useful in addition to improving the sense of grade of the whole vehicle, and there will be many sequelae. The use of low flat rate tires will reduce the driving comfort of the vehicle, less thick tire wall filtration, more fragmented vibration will be transmitted to the car, especially some of the original chassis tuning is not very good car, there will be a certain sense of looseness.
In addition, the price of large-size tires with low flatness is higher than that of ordinary tires, and when the tire reaches the end of its service life, the owner will have to spend a higher cost to change the tire. However, if you are a sports car owner, it is still necessary to choose a large wheel.
Separate seats in the middle row
The mid-row independent seat is a symbol of high-end cars, so many lower-level models have also begun to introduce versions with mid-row independent seats to create a more upscale image. For some larger MPV, it is no problem to set up a separate seat in the middle row, because they have enough space in the third row to accommodate more passengers.
However, for cars with small body sizes, in order to add a second row of independent seats, the high-end models have added a third row of seats to show their MPV attributes. Some irrational consumers are attracted to this layout, but finally buy it back and find that the third row is not practical at all. In addition, the 2+2+2 or 2+2+3 layout is slightly awkward for a family of five, and it is not so suitable for anyone to sit in the last row.
Touch buttons
The gradual evolution of electronic technology, car companies are not willing to be mediocre, they need to put a more concise central control layout to show the sense of science and technology of the vehicle, so the touch button came into being. Although the touch button is good-looking, its shortcomings are also very obvious, and its tolerance for blind exercise is extremely low. For example, if car owners want to adjust the air conditioner temperature, air volume or volume while driving, they cannot know exactly which button their hand is on as clearly as they do when they touch the physical button. And some models have extremely slow touch responses, and when the system freezes, it's easy for owners to turn up the air volume or volume beyond the desired value. This is very detrimental to driving safety.
Individual air conditioning at the rear
The rear independent air conditioner allows the rear passengers to adjust the temperature and air volume they want independently, and the independent compressor also makes the rear seat cooling better. However, this is not so good for car owners with small children at home, some bear children always like to play with these functional areas, and they will not turn off the air conditioner after getting off the bus. This is not good for the economy of the use of the vehicle, and some car owners who pursue environmental protection are also more concerned about this.
Alcntara seat
In the past, Alcntara seats mainly appeared on some sports models, because the material of this seat can greatly increase the coefficient of friction, allowing the driver to be well fixed to the seat when cornering. With the widespread application of this material, the cost has gradually decreased, and many high-end or top-mate models of grocery shopping cars have begun to use Alcntara seats. Although this can give the vehicle a sense of sport and grade, its practical effect is not large, nor is it as well-maintained as leather seats. Especially in the case of high frequency of use, the seat material will have a significant color difference after a few years, which does not feel good.
Write to the end
The configuration of high-end models is indeed superior, but they are not necessarily better than the configuration of low-end models, and riders who pay attention to practicality and economy must know this. High prices can buy high-cost, high-pressure things, but these things are not necessarily suitable for you.
