Recently, many small partners have sent us private messages to "Car 314", asking how to choose A-class joint venture brand models. The models that bother them are more concentrated on the golf, Civic and Unxella models, so please follow the footage of our "Car 314" to solve everyone's inner confusion.
Appearance comparison: Unxella is more prominent, golf modification potential is greater, Civic needs to see the situation
The three cars have their own unique characteristics in terms of appearance design.
The exterior design of the Mazda Axela I personally think is the best of the three cars. It adopts the Design Language of Mazda Family, and the movement of the soul design creates a very strong atmosphere of movement, as if there is really a jaguar running wildly to pounce on its prey. The slender headlight shape is very charming, and the state when lit is also very fierce.
Mazda Axela's body side lines are relatively smooth, and the wheel hub shape is very chic, creating a strong sense of sport. The tail design is one of its highlights, the tail light shape echoes the headlight shape, the circular tail light is more recognizable when lit at night, and the exhaust design of the bilateral single is adopted below, which is unfortunately not the layout of the shark fin antenna above.
Volkswagen Golf has always been the main sales force of the Volkswagen brand and has a long reputation in the domestic automobile market. Golf's front part of the design is relatively sporty compared to other Volkswagen models, especially the shape of the headlight group, the design sense is very strong, creating a very sporty visual effect, through the daytime running lights connected to the left and right headlights, the recognition is very high.
The Golf is a very typical hatchback A-Class sedan, with a sporty body structure on the side of the body. The waistline is integrated with the door handle, and the wheel hub is also designed in a chic design. Golf's tail design is still relatively popular, taillights are volkswagen's current very common design style, with a shark fin antenna on the top, a hidden exhaust design below, and the entire rear design is relatively full.
For golf, although the exterior design is relatively sporty, but more importantly, its modification potential is very large, many golf owners are keen on modification, and various modifications also give golf a more sporty coat.
The exterior design of the Honda Civic was originally an A-Class sedan that carried the movement to the end. The ten generations of Civic's front car shape is full of sports style, and the C-shaped taillights at the rear are integrated with the tail wing to create a sports car sports feeling. In addition, the exhaust design of the mid-positioned double row is also a very sports car design style, and the appearance design of the entire Ten Generation Civic is a sports car for young consumers. But today's eleventh generation Civic is a big surprise.
The appearance design of the eleventh generation Civic abandoned the original design style that was extremely moving, and instead embarked on the middle route. The entire eleventh generation civic design seems to be a miniature version of the English poetry school. The split type of middle net has a certain sense of design, and the headlight shape has lost its former charm and is replaced by a middle-aged greasy uncle with a melancholy look.
The rear design of the eleventh generation Civic is a complete abandonment of the sporty design. The taillight design is relatively ordinary, and there is no special modeling design inside, and the recognition is not very high. There is a shark fin antenna layout above, and the exhaust design of bilateral single out is adopted below, and the entire rear design is very ordinary, and there is no visual feeling that is eye-catching.
Editor's summary: The exterior design of the three cars is different, the exterior design movement of Mazda Oncella is still the same, and the overall design reflects the sportiness and flexibility of the soul design. The exterior design of the golf itself is more sporty, but it is worth mentioning that the appearance of the golf has greater potential for modification. The design of the Eleventh Generation Civic is more moderate and more suitable for older consumers, but the Eleventh Generation Civic can be said to be a model of sports design.
The difference in interior contrast is obvious: Unxella is far ahead
After looking at the exterior design of the three cars, let's take a look at what surprises the interior design of the three cars will bring us.
The interior design of Mazda Onccellar adopts the Interior Design Style of Mazda Family, and the floating central control screen and three-circle instrument are the biggest highlights of its interior design. The floating central control screen is large in size and the display effect is very clear. The three-circle instrument is very representative and has become the exclusive design of Mazda, and it is highly recognizable.
Mazda Axel's steering wheel feels good, the layout of the multi-function buttons is also very reasonable, and the chrome decoration around the keys enhances the luxurious feeling of the interior design. However, Mazda Axela's gear handle design is a slot point in its interior design, and the gear handle with no sense of design will lower the value of the interior design.
Mazda Axela's seat comfort is still relatively high, the cushion is relatively soft, and there is an immersive riding experience when sitting on it. The backrest and headrest are also relatively thick, the wrapping of the backrest is very good, the position of the waist is also more appropriate, and the long-distance driving is very friendly.
The interior design of volkswagen golf is still relatively large, the central control screen size is relatively large, and the suspension design is adopted, but compared with The Axela, the suspension amplitude is not very large. Full LCD instrument is equipped as standard, and Volkswagen is a real real time this time.
The steering wheel design of the golf is the steering wheel design style commonly used by Volkswagen at present. Chrome trim is applied all the way down around the multi-function buttons, enhancing the luxurious feel of the interior design. Only the electronic gear handles on high-end models are very designed, and the very compact electronic gear handles enhance the texture of the interior design.
The comfort of the Golf's seats is also very high, and the mixed-and-match seats on high-end models are very much in line with the aesthetics of young consumers. The cushions are relatively soft, the backrest is well wrapped, and the comfort of the whole seat is commendable.
The interior design of the Eleventh Generation Civic is a great improvement over the previous generation. The central control screen also adopts a suspension design, but the size is not large, the plastic border around the full LCD instrument is very wide, really can not understand the designer's design ideas, and then save costs should not save in this visible, touchable place. Moreover, the resolution of the two screens is relatively low, the effect of the hour is relatively poor, and the UI design has a lot of room for improvement.
The interior design of the eleventh generation Civic still has certain highlights to be found, such as the air conditioning outlet of the eleventh generation Civic, which adopts a honeycomb design, and the direction of the wind is adjusted by the lever, which is more innovative. In addition, the steering wheel of the eleventh generation Civic has a good grip, but the mechanical gear handle still has no sense of design, and it needs to be complained about.
The seats of the eleventh generation Civic high-end version of the model adopt a leather and fur mix-and-match design style, which is in line with the aesthetics of young consumers, but the comfort is relatively general, the cushion is not very thick, the butterfly wing on the backrest is small, and the wrapping is more general.
Editor's summary: The interior design of the three cars has more or less some slots, but in terms of the interior design comparison of the three cars, the interior design of Mazda Onksela is more prominent and the design sense is relatively strong, especially the suspension central control screen and the three-circle instrument, which has left a deep impression on consumers.
There is little difference in spatial contrast: the space of the Civic is slightly dominant
The space comparison of the three cars is not much different, and they are all typical A-class cars.
The body dimensions of Mazda OnkSella are 4662*1797*1445mm and wheelbase 2726mm. The performance between the controls of the Axela is relatively poor among the three cars, and Mazda pursues handling, so the wheelbase will not be too long, which will affect the performance of the rear space. During the actual experience, the back space of the Unxella was the smallest of the three cars.
The Volkswagen Golf's body size is 4296*1788*1471mm and wheelbase is 2636mm, while the wheelbase of the 280 TSI and 380 TSI models is 2631mm, and the other dimensions are unchanged. Due to the influence of the hatchback body structure, the Golf is at a disadvantage in terms of length, but its spatial performance, especially the rear space performance, is still relatively good.
The body size of the eleventh generation Civic is 4674*1802*1415mm, and the wheelbase is 2735mm. The eleventh generation Civic's spatial performance is the best of the three cars, the rear legroom is much more spacious than the first two cars, and the trunk can also provide flat space. In addition, Honda is known as the "space magician", and the Civic has a lot of storage space and is very convenient, which is commendable.
Editor's summary: The three cars are very typical A-class cars, in terms of space performance, the space performance of the tenth generation of Civic is better, followed by golf, and the space performance of Axela is very Mazda, comparing Civic and Golf is still cramped.
The power also depends on volkswagen: the Golf 2.0T is not available in other models
The power comparison of the three cars is more obvious, and the Golf's 2.0T is almost invincible at the same level.
Mazda Axela 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. Among them, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum horsepower of 117Ps and a maximum torque of 148 Nm, with a 6-speed manual and a 6AT transmission. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum horsepower of 158 Ps and a maximum torque of 202 Nm, with a 6AT gearbox. Axela's dynamic performance is very average.
The Volkswagen Golf is equipped with three powertrains: 1.2T, 1.4T and 2.0T. Among them, the 1.2T engine has a maximum horsepower of 116Ps and a peak torque of 200Nm, with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 1.4T engine has a maximum horsepower of 150Ps and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 220Ps and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with a 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmission. It can be said that the golf's 2.0T+ 7DCT power combination has few opponents in the same class.
The eleventh generation of Civic is equipped with a high-low power 1.5T engine, of which the low-power version of the 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 129Ps and a maximum torque of 180Nm. The high-power 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 182Ps and a maximum torque of 240Nm, and is equipped with a CVT gearbox. Although Honda's 1.5T Earth Dream engine has a lot of black technology, compared to the Golf's 2.0T engine, the power parameters are still much weaker.
Editor's summary: The power performance of the three cars is more obvious, the power of the Axela is relatively weak, the Honda Civic's 1.5T has been prestigious, but the power combination of the Golf 2.0T+7DCT is almost invincible in the same class.
The difference in configuration comparison is obvious: the Ten Generation Civic has a higher configuration but the Axela has the highest cost performance
In terms of configuration, we selected three entry-level models for comparison, they are: Oncesela 2021 1.5L Manual Quality American Version (Guide Price: 115,900), Golf 2021 200TSI DSG (Guide Price: 129,800) and Civic 2022 180TURBO CVT Still Active Edition (Guide Price: 129,900).
Through the comparison of the configuration of the three cars, it is not difficult to find that the configuration of the Tenth Generation Civic is the most abundant, compared with the other two cars, there are more configurations such as passive pedestrian protection, variable steering ratio, electric sunroof, front row keyless entry, remote start function and PM2.5 filtering, but the Tenth Generation Civic with halogen headlights and 2 speakers is also really shabby.
The Unxella compares the Golf and the Ten Generations Civic with one more knee airbag, reversing image, active closed grille, rear cup holder, 8 speakers, headlight delay off and other practical configurations. The biggest highlight of the golf in terms of configuration is the collocation of the full LCD instrument, and the performance of other aspects is not good or bad.
Editor's summary: The configuration of the three cars is more obviously different, the highest configuration is the Tenth Generation Civic, while the configuration of the Golf is more eclectic, and the configuration of Axela is more practical. However, we cannot ignore that among the three entry-level models, the guidance price of the Oncseira is about 14,000 lower than that of the other two cars, so on the whole, the Oncella is more cost-effective.
Summary: Among the A-class cars in their early 100,000s, the Axela, golf and Civic are very representative models. In terms of exterior and interior design, The advantages of Unxella are more obvious. Power vs Golf should be the best player, while Civic only has a certain advantage in terms of space. In terms of cost performance, Axela is in place.
To sum up, if there are no excessive requirements for power, the Unxella is definitely the most recommended of the three cars.
