Nowadays, people buy cars, not only for transportation, but also for the embodiment of identity, especially those hundreds of thousands of luxury, driving out is obviously very faceless. However, there are also many people who do not care about this, buying a car for convenience or relatively low-key, the money that could be used to buy BBA has bought some unremarkable second-tier luxury brand models. Therefore, in this issue, we introduce three hidden and most popular SUVs, with high horsepower and four-wheel drive, reliable and first-class sound insulation.
Section 1 is the Lincoln Navigator.
First of all, I have to admit that Lincoln, an American luxury brand, is indeed relatively thick, and its models, whether it is power, space, configuration or comfort, do not lose the same level of BBA. The Navigator positioning is a medium-sized SUV, the guidance price is 328,880-47.88 million, the starting price is low, and the terminal also has about 10,000 discounts. Recommended model 2021 2.7T four-wheel drive premium version, the guidance price is 418,800, the actual reference price after the discount is less than 410,000, landing at about 450,000.
The price of 450,000 may feel better than buying a BBA, but if you know the three major pieces of navigator, you certainly won't say so. In particular, the power is equipped with a 2.7T V6 twin-turbo engine, with a maximum horsepower of 322 hp, a peak torque of 500 Nm, matching an 8AT gearbox, and a four-wheel drive system. Under the blessing of this set of power, the measured zero hundred acceleration performance is only 6.48 seconds, and it should be known that the navigator's maintenance quality has reached 2.15 tons, which shows the strength of its power.
As for the appearance, the navigator is also very attractive, inheriting the domineering and tough style of the American car, and there is also some elegant atmosphere, whether it is the front, side or tail, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese. And the size is also in the upper middle level of the same class, the length of the car reached 4849 mm, the wheelbase of 2850 mm, coupled with the layout of the large 5 seats, the comfort of the entire car is very outstanding, the passenger with a height of 1 meter 78 sits in the front row, the seat is adjusted to the lowest back, and the head space is punched.
Come to the back row, at this time the head space four fingers, legs more than two fists, the middle position is equipped with a headrest, the platform has a certain bulge but not high, adults sitting in the middle position will not feel too depressed, running long distances for a long time is no problem. And the navigator's sound insulation and noise reduction level is also one of the best in the same class, equipped with active noise reduction and multi-layer sound insulation glass of the whole car, coupled with solid materials, even if running high-speed, sitting in the car can basically not hear the outside sound, very quiet. However, it is a little regrettable that this 8AT gearbox will have some setbacks at low speed, but it is not very obvious, and the shift after the speed is very smooth.
The second model to be introduced is the Hongqi HS7.
Hongqi is also a second-tier luxury brand, and compared to other brands, it will be more generous in price, especially the HS7 as a medium and large SUV. The guidance price is 27.58-46.33 million, the pricing is very low, and the same level of cars of ordinary joint venture brands is almost the same, the recommended words are naturally 2022 3.0T automatic four-wheel drive Zhilian Banner Yue Edition 5 seats, the guidance price is 349,800.
At a price of 350,000, you can buy a 3.0T medium-sized SUV, and I believe that only Hongqi can do it. Although the 3.0T V6 supercharged engine is not technologically advanced, it can reach a maximum horsepower of 337 hp, a peak torque of 445 Nm, and an official zero-hundred acceleration of 7.8 seconds. The gap between acceleration performance and navigator is indeed a bit large, but after all, it is a large-displacement V6 model, which is similar in driving experience, especially running at high speed, the power is continuous, as long as you lightly step on the accelerator, the power feedback is very positive, and you can get a strong sense of pushing back. And Hongqi has a certain foundation in chassis adjustment, even if the speed is faster, it is very stable, although the sound insulation level is not as good as that of the navigator, it is not equipped with active noise reduction and multi-layer soundproof glass of the whole car, but it can also be ranked into the middle and upper level at the same price.
Not only that, but the appearance of the HS7 is satisfactory, and the degree of domineering is not inferior to that of the Navigator, or even better. The design language of Hongqi has always been more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, and the domineering reveals some elegance, which is the key to many people choosing the car. And with a length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of more than 3 meters, plus a 5-seat layout, it is needless to say in the riding experience. Passengers with a height of 1 meter 78 sat in the front row, with more than one punch in the head space, and sat in the second row without changing their position, at this time, the head space was one punch and one finger, and the legs were also more than two punches.
Although it does not feel as spacious as the data, the trunk space of the HS7 is very large, with 858 liters at the smallest, while the Navigator is 739 liters, the maximum can even be extended to 1822 liters, and the Navigator is 1473 liters, so in comparison, the HS7 is obviously more practical. However, there are also some regrets, in the interior design of the HS7 is relatively old, sitting in the car to give people the feeling of more like the previous generation of models, although the material is very thick, like wood grain trim panels, chrome trim and leather materials can be seen everywhere, but lack of some sense of technology, not in line with the aesthetics of young people. If the next generation of models can adjust the interior, such as changing to the shape of the Hongqi H9, it will obviously increase its strength a lot.
The last model to be introduced is the Infiniti QX60.
Infiniti belongs to Nissan's luxury brand, and cooperated with Dongfeng to establish Dongfeng Infiniti, QX60 as the first medium and large SUV launched after the joint venture, naturally also shoulders a heavy responsibility. The car was not long on the market, the guidance price of 39.98-61.98 million, the pricing is very reasonable, tens of thousands cheaper than the previous pre-sale price. With reference to QX50, the terminal discount has reached nearly 100,000 now, and if QX60 is the same, it is likely to become a hit. The recommended model is the 2022 2.0T four-wheel drive premium version, with a guidance price of 479,800, landing in the early 500,000.
The changes in the appearance of the new generation QX60 are very obvious, and there is no doubt that they are much more handsome than the old model. The size of the front face mesh is larger, the body side is also adopted a more personalized and fashionable suspension design, the entire appearance of the change personally feels that it is still very successful, can capture the hearts of young consumers, has been half successful. And also positioned in the medium and large SUV, the size of the QX60 is one circle larger than the HS7, the length of the car reaches 5127 mm, the width of the car is 2005 mm, the wheelbase is 2 meters 9, but because it is a 7-seat layout, the riding space is not so good.
Passengers with a height of 1 meter 78 sat in the front row, the seat was adjusted to the lowest, the head space was about one punch, to the 2nd row, the seat was adjusted to the front, the head also had a punch, but the legs were basically not redundant, and moved to the end, at this time the leg space exceeded two punches. However, the 3rd row is more general, when the 2nd row of seats is adjusted to the middle position, the 3rd row of leg space is about four fingers, the head is basically the top, not suitable for tall adults to ride, if it is a child or a small person of about 1 meter 7, sitting on it is still no problem. And QX60 and navigator, equipped with active noise reduction and the whole car multi-layer sound insulation glass, in the quiet of this piece is also quite good, close the doors and windows, running high speed is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment.
In terms of the three major pieces, the QX60 has no advantage over the Navigator and HS7. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine codenamed KR20, with a maximum horsepower of 252 hp and a peak torque of 376 Nm, which is relatively average. But it is gratifying that the gearbox has finally abandoned the CVT and used ZF's newly developed 9AT. Although the power performance is average, this 2.0T+9AT combination is first-class in terms of quality and reliability, which is reassuring enough.
Comments: The above three luxury SUVs, in all aspects of the performance is not lost to the price of the BBA model, the power is strong at the same time, the riding comfort is first-class, the material is also very thick. And in terms of space, it is more than enough for the family, and it is still very suitable for some low-key, hidden people. Well, we'll talk about this in this issue and see you in the next issue.
