In the past, the joint venture car gave people the impression of being more "high", and their pricing was not close to the people, even if it was a relatively entry-level joint venture small SUV, the price was usually more than 100,000. However, after the rise of domestic brands, there are also many joint venture brands that have begun to work in the direction of being close to the people, and there have been joint venture models with relatively close pricing such as Jetta VS5 and Kia Yipao in the car market. So, if these joint venture cars are compared with domestic cars with similar pricing as Wuling Star, which model will be more cost-effective? Faced with this problem, we can make a simple horizontal evaluation of these three models.
(Jetta VS5)
(Kia Run)
From the pricing point of view of these three models, the Jetta VS5 is indeed a relatively affordable joint venture car, its pricing is 86,800-11.48 million, and positioned in a compact SUV. The entry threshold of Kia E-Run is lower than that of the Jetta VS5, with a price range of 69,800-83,800, but E-Run's positioning is also lower, it is a small SUV. As for Wuling Xingchen, the price range of this car is 69,800-99,800, which is close to the price of Yipao, but the car is in the same class as the Jetta VS5, which is a compact SUV.
(Wuling Star)
For ordinary people, one of the main factors to consider when buying a car is space, which is also more intuitive for the impact of our riding experience in travel. The interior space of the Jetta VS5 is not bad, its length is 4419mm, the wheelbase is 2630mm, and the size performance is decent. When actually sitting in the Jetta VS5 car, adults with a height of 177cm will not feel cramped, and it is not difficult to stilt erlang's legs. However, the back seat of the Jetta VS5 has a relatively high platform, which has some impact on the riding comfort of the fifth person in the back row.
Kia Yipao's car length is 4100mm, the wheelbase is 2570mm, for small SUVs, such body size is relatively normal, when traveling in the city, Yipao is indeed easier to find parking spaces. However, relatively speaking, the interior space of the Car is smaller than that of the Jetta VS5, and the legroom in the rear is not so generous. But the rear platform of the Yi Run is basically flat, which the Jetta VS5 does not have.
The length and wheelbase of Wuling Xingchen are 4594mm and 2750mm respectively, and purely from the perspective of size, Wuling Xingchen will have some advantages. After actually sitting in the car, the rear leg of Wuling Xingchen will have a wider range of movement, and the rear floor of the car is flat. Then there is the top model of Wuling Star with a panoramic sunroof, while on the Jetta VS5 and Kia Yipao, the top model only provides a non-full-size electric sunroof.
In terms of power performance, the Jetta VS5 is more advantageous, it is equipped with the most classic 1.4T EA211 engine of Volkswagen, the maximum power is 150 horsepower, the peak torque is 250 Nm, and the matching gearbox is not Volkswagen's DSG gearbox, but it is also a mature and reliable 5MT and 6AT. This set of power can easily meet the needs of daily travel and can control fuel consumption at 6.2L-6.8L.
Kia Edo does not excel in power performance, its engine is 1.4L, maximum power 100 hp, peak torque 132.4 Nm, matching 6MT or CVT transmission. For daily travel, the power provided by the 1.4L engine is also enough, but this 1.4L engine obviously cannot bring a refreshing driving experience. As for fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 5.7L-5.8L.
The power of Wuling Star is relatively close to that of the Jetta VS5, which is equipped with a 1.5T engine, a maximum power of 147 horsepower, a peak torque of 250 Nm, and the performance parameters are indeed similar to the EA211 engine of the Jetta VS5. Then there is the 1.5T engine of Xingchen is also relatively mature, with an installed capacity of one million units, and its reliability needless to say. The car also has an FSD shock valve system from the Netherlands, and the suspension can adjust the soft and hard. In terms of transmission, Wuling Xingchen matches 6MT and analog 8-speed CVT gearbox, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.1L-7.7L.
In general, jetta VS5, Kia Yipao, Wuling Star are all models with more grounded pricing, but the overall performance of these three models is still somewhat different. The advantage of the Jetta VS5 is its Ashkenazi power and Ashkenazi tuning, although it does not have the original Volkswagen DSG gearbox, but the EA211 engine also makes it have a good driving experience. The advantage of Yipao is fuel saving, the 1.4L engine displacement is not large, there is no turbo intervention, natural fuel saving. As for Wuling Star, its overall practicality is higher, with large space, panoramic skylight, and power is not bad.
