SAIC-GM Buick-Oncola
Manufacturer guidance price: 12.59-15.59 million yuan
After a new facelift, Oncora changed his once heavy style and became a member of the sports style. Exterior, it continues the design language of the new Buick family, with a low-centered nose that looks wide with the help of a flying wing chrome grille. The chrome trim on the front connected to the headlights gives the front face a more design sense and also makes the front face look more layered. Automatic LED headlights with daytime driving function have very practical functions - height adjustable, delayed turn off.
The new car has a full side shape, blackened eyebrows and side lip components with 18-inch five-spoke wheels, full of power. The rear of the car is equipped with a wing-length LED tail light group, which echoes the front design and is more recognizable.
After adjusting the proportions of the body, Oncora looks more atmospheric from the side. After the waist line has been more carefully carved, the curvature of the body side has a more distinct change, and under the sunlight, the waist line is as beautiful as a ribbon fluttering with the wind. The design of the rear of the vehicle is very simple, and the area occupied by the lower bracket is expanded after the taillight position is moved up, and the sense of movement of the tail is further improved.
The interior still adheres to the design elements of the "flying wing", and creates a very fluid interior through the shape of the wings and the rich arc. The texture of the interior materials is not inferior to buick's higher-level models, and a large number of soft materials are quite delicate. Although the dashboard is an ordinary mechanical instrument, the driving computer in the middle can display the tire pressure information. The 8-inch central control display can support CarPlay and CarLife, and there is no need to worry about the problem that the system update of the car and the machine is not timely. The equipment of the front and rear exhaust head airbags (air curtains) increases the passive safety factor of the vehicle, and the active safety aspect of Oncora is equipped with lane keeping, lane departure warning and active brake safety system devices, it can be said that the overall active/passive safety equipment level of Oncora is still very high.
With a body size of 4295mm*1798mm*1616mm and a wheelbase of 2570mm, The oncola has an advantage in height, even if a man with a height of 183cm sits in the driver's seat, the head space is also very generous. The 1.3T engine is capable of producing a maximum horsepower of 165 Ps and a maximum torque of 240 N .m when matched to the CVT continuously variable transmission. It can be said that this power parameter is still very advantageous in the same class of models, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers given by NEDC is only 5.6L, which is completely comparable to the Japanese car that is known for fuel saving.
Dongfeng Honda- Honda XR-V
Manufacturer guidance price 12.79-17.59 million yuan
Since its launch in 2014, the XR-V has been a bestseller. With the development of the market and the further refinement of car demand, the consumer group of XR-V has broken the age limit and become a model that all ages are willing to accept. First of all, in terms of appearance, XR-V adheres to the simple Japanese aesthetic style, and the appearance of classics is not easy to leave behind. Even if you look at today's newly designed XR-V, you can still find the shadow of the former Honda CR-V. The front light source of the high-end model uses an LED light source, and the rest of the models use a halogen light source. The headlights of all models have height adjustable and delayed shut-off functions.
The body side profile is a typical SUV shape, there is a little bit of sneaky design at the rear, and the streamlined treatment of the doors and windows makes the body side look more stylish, and the rear head space can be optimized. The large size of the rear windows of the vehicle provides better lighting inside the car. Integrated headlights are the current trend element, XR-V in adhering to the classic and simple Japanese aesthetic style at the same time, but also "follow the trend" this wave of fashion, the collision of two different styles, the result is still very commendable.
The interior of XR-V is very two-dimensional comic style, circular air conditioning outlet, circular mechanical dashboard, circular driving computer display, circular mechanical button, circular steering wheel... Even the right angle of the central control screen has been rounded. The material is mainly plastic, and the material of the front panel of the co-pilot is soft. The 8-inch touch-type central control display function is relatively simple, but the entire series of models can support the voice recognition function of multimedia system and telephone function.
Pragmatism can accept that the sense of technology is not strong enough, but it does not mean that the safety factor can be reduced. XR-V understands this, with brake distribution, brake assist and body stability control systems. Even in terms of air safety, XR-V has done a good job of "guarding" for the owner, and the whole series is equipped with a PM2.5 filter device in the car, even when the air is not good, you can safely open the air conditioning external circulation to avoid the frost on the window in the car.
The XR-V has a body length of 4328mm, a width and height of 1772mm and 1610mm, and a wheelbase of 2610mm is one of the advantages of this car. The power is a combination of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a CVT continuously variable gearbox, with a maximum horsepower of 131Ps and a maximum torque of 155N.m. The high-end model uses a 1.5T engine with a maximum horsepower of 177Ps and a maximum torque of 220N.m. The overall driving power output is relatively smooth, and the addition and subtraction of gears can hardly feel the frustration. The fuel consumption of the two power versions of the NEDC per 100 km is 6L and 6.1L respectively, which are very fuel-efficient.
The people evaluate the car
American cars and Japanese cars used to exist in completely different styles, and now they have more and more advantages to compete. After achieving low fuel consumption, Oncora is very competitive in the market, and the technology and interior texture are very advantageous, which is liked by many young consumers, especially for unmarried young people. The appearance of the XR-V is not subject to any age restrictions, and even retired elderly people drive this car very suitable. In addition, XR-V has a good retention rate and a longer wheelbase, so if you want to choose a scooter to pick up and drop off babies, XR-V is also more recommended.
