The popularity of first-line luxury brands in China has been high for many years, and there are only three manufacturers that are recognized as first-line luxury brands in China, that is, BBA, which is often said by our people. The BBA represents Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi respectively.
As a first-line luxury brand in China, these three brands are priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the maintenance and repair costs are not low. However, these factors have not hindered consumers who like its models, and sales have remained high.
However, with the development of the three car companies, many consumers are also a little distressed, the reason is that consumers do not know which of the three brands to choose. Because not every consumer does a lot of preparation before buying a car, many consumers just rely on their preferences and go directly to buy. This is the first reason.
The second reason is that even if the BBA is an entry-level model, such as mercedes-Benz C-class, BMW III series, Audi A4 to start at about 300,000, this price is not recognized by all consumers.
But now it's different, and there are now three entry-level models in the BBA, namely, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, BMW 1 Series, and Audi A3. Today I will take these three models to make a comparison for everyone, so that everyone knows, how should these three cars be chosen?
The three models compared are its top-of-the-line model, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class modified A 200L sport sedan fashion model (replaced by the Mercedes-Benz A-Class below), the BMW 1 Series remodeled 125i M Sporty Night Edition (replaced by the BMW 1 Series below), and the Audi A3 A3L Limousine 35 TFSI Luxury Sport (replaced by the Audi A3 below).
The front of these three models is very much in the style of its brand family, basically similar to the mid-size car of its own brand, and its characteristics are basically translated. Like the lattice front on the Mercedes C-Class, we can see it in the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. In the same way, the BMW family's unique "double kidney" front face is also reflected in the BMW 1 Series. Finally, the same is true of the Audi A3, the audi family's unique grille, which is also reflected in the Audi A3.
The front of these three models has different styles, each with its own characteristics, if you want to divide the front part of the three models into a winner or loser, then there is no doubt that this result is absolutely not objective, we continue to compare.
Coming to the side of the car, although their size is similar from the appearance, from the data point of view, there is still a big gap between them. Among them, the body size of the Mercedes-Benz A-class is particularly obvious.
The side waistline of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and BMW 1 Series is more vague and not as obvious as the Audi A3, if you look at it from the side, it seems that the sporty atmosphere of the Audi A3 is particularly obvious.
Regarding the interior of Mercedes-Benz, I think there is basically no need to say more, after all, mercedes-benz is the most disappointing thing is the existence of its interior, Mercedes-Benz's interior has always been known for luxury.
If the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is called "Little S", then I am willing to call the Mercedes-Benz A-Class "Little E", which comes from the design of its interior, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, which basically copies the interior of its Mercedes-Benz E model here.
A very eye-catching double screen design, below is a more delicate circular air conditioning outlet.
Finally, about the Gear Handle of Mercedes-Benz A Class, the design of this gear handle is the design of the pocket gear, compared to the traditional gear handle, this gear handle will be much more convenient when used.
Compared with Mercedes-Benz A-class, the interior of bmw 1 series, not very bad look, even in terms of texture is a little better than Mercedes-Benz A-class, and Mercedes-Benz A-class is the same, bmw 1 series interior is also the interior of the medium-sized car, perfectly copied down, BMW's classic chicken leg stall handle, and the whole car in many places dotted with exquisite trim, everywhere highlights the luxurious characteristics of BMW itself.
Finally, we set our sights on the Audi A3, in its central control style, basically maintained the same style as the first two cars, are the other models of the family of the central control are perfectly carried to their own, but the Audi A3's central control looks, more textured, this texture exists in the use of its materials, as well as the position of the gear handle and steering wheel.
Regarding the configuration differences of these three models, I listed a table for everyone to watch, from the table we can see that Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Audi A3 have more comfort in the configuration, while bmw 1 series, it seems to only care about whether they are sports enough.
Looking at the power system of these three cars from the table, the gap is very large. The power parameters of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class are slightly bleak compared to the BMW 1 Series, although its interior is particularly luxurious, but the power aspect does need to be slightly improved.
In the power system, the most prominent is undoubtedly the BMW 1 Series, which is still equipped with a 2.0T engine in this class of vehicles, and this engine is not the so-called residual version of the engine, because the power data of the BMW 1 Series does not have much gap compared to the 3 Series, but it is a little higher than the 3 Series in terms of maximum power.
From this point of view, BMW's strict control of the power of its cars is indeed quite careful.
summary
Finally, let's look at the Audi A3, compared to the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, although one is 1.4T, the other is 1.3T, but in terms of power data, the two cars are not too different, and it is particularly obvious that compared to the clutches of the other two models, audi A3 still uses dry dual clutch, this word, in the face of naked data, is particularly obvious.
About the specific price of these three cars, in the previous table show, for now, these three models in various regions of the preferential range is quite a lot, to BMW 1 series, many areas of the price are discounted to about 190,000 degrees, just imagine, less than 200,000 prices, can open a line of luxury brand brand of new vehicles, or acceptable.
Compared with mercedes-Benz A-class and BMW 1 series, although the price of Audi A3 has preferential treatment, but there is not much price fluctuation, which may come from its interior basically a perfect reproduction of the interior of its brand mid-size car, after all, many consumers' attitude to the power system is enough, and what attracts this group of consumers is the existence of the interior.
On the topic of what models consumers like, we talked too much, the most typical of which belongs to the Mercedes-Benz C-class, when it was first released, the power of 1.5T plus the price of more than 400,000 yuan made many netizens feel very worthless. However, talking always has to be positive and negative, although the power is only 1.5T, but its interior, is too crushing, resulting in its sales are not very low.
Finally, regarding the comparison of these three models, we compare from the appearance to the interior, from the interior to the power, from the power and the price
case. For now, whether it is from the aspects of appearance, interior, power, and price, bmw 1 series is a relatively cost-effective existence.
