In the past half a month, if you want to say who is the hottest model in the B-class car market, there is no doubt that it is the new generation of Ford Mondeo. With the latest design language and new upgrades in intelligent configuration of the Ford brand, it has successfully attracted a lot of attention in the market.
However, no matter how high the hot spot eventually returns to the market level, consumers still have to look at the overall strength and price of the product. In this segment, Accord, Camry and Magotan all have good market shares, but it is not possible to ignore some strong non-seeded players, such as Chevrolet Mariber XL, which may have a little-known side in this regard.
To confirm this, we also use facts and figures to see what kind of spark can collide between the Mribao XL and this level of sales evergreen Camry and Tianlai.
Of course, to be fair, we will choose models with similar prices, that is, the Camry 2.5G Deluxe Edition priced at 219,800 yuan, the Tianlai 2.0T XL Zhijin Version priced at 216,800 yuan, and the Maribao XL 2022 Redline 550T Automatic Ruizhi Edition priced at 219,900 yuan.
Sporty preferred representation
First of all, from the perspective of appearance, rejuvenation has become the mainstream element of current car design, and these three models are well catered to the current consumption needs, so we will not repeat too much.
If you're after a sporty exterior design, the Maribal XL is the best of the three. And if you pursue a relatively stable image, Camry and Tianlai can also meet this.
Of course, for consumers who buy B-class cars, space is also an important consideration for them.
For these three models, the Camry has a length, width and height of 4885/1840/1455mm and a wheelbase of 2825mm, while the Tianlai has a length, width and height of 4901/1850/1447mm and a wheelbase of 2825mm; The Maxifel XL is 4933 mm in length, width and height, and 1854 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2829 mm. Statistically, it's clear that the Maribal XL offers more space in the car.
"Ceiling" level leading configuration
Nowadays, most consumers will definitely pay attention to the configuration when choosing a B-class car, after all, the price of spending more than 200,000 yuan can bring us a kind of enjoyment, which is a very important thing. Especially as the current consumer group becomes younger, how to reflect the intelligent configuration they love in the product is very important.
From the table we have compiled above, it is not difficult to see that the Maribao XL is significantly higher in the overall intelligence and comfort configuration. For example, it has more heating and ventilation of the front seats than the Camry and TianLai. At the same time, the 9-speaker BOSE sound and monochrome interior mood lights also highlight a certain luxurious atmosphere.
Not to mention the CarPlay and CarLife mobile phone interconnection functions, for those consumers who often keep their mobile phones in their hands, they can greatly increase the safety of driving.
As for the experience of the car, we all know that the car engine system of the joint venture brand model rarely brings consumers a particularly amazing sense of experience, and the old UI design and the voice interaction function with a recognition rate that is not too high often make people complain. But at this point, The Maribao XL can give them a "sample".
The central control screen of Mureyborg XL is built into a new generation of MyLink + intelligent car connection system, which has a free listening, life service and a wealth of in-car apps, and the official also provides it with a lifetime free traffic service for users to use in the future.
In addition, in terms of voice interaction, it is equipped with iFLYTEK offline + online hybrid speech recognition solution, which has a wide range of voice control categories, and the recognition speed and accuracy are also very high, which can bring users an excellent experience.
When it comes to smart safety, the Maribao XL also has a clear lead, and the L2 level of driver assistance is readily available.
From the table above, we can see that in the case of similar prices, the overall level of Tianlai in this regard is indeed not comparable to the Mai Ruibao XL and Camry. Compared with the latter two, the XL has more parallel assist and automatic parking assist functions, and the performance is more comprehensive.
The Foundation of the United States is more solid
As for the power system that everyone is most concerned about, these three will not have the problem of small horse-drawn carts in daily use, and their difference lies more in the level of abundance or not.
From the above table, we can clearly see the power parameters of these three cars, the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine equipped by the Camry is relatively low, and due to the large displacement, consumers will be somewhat hesitant when buying a car, and the values of Maribao XL and Tianlai are relatively close.
The more obvious difference between the two if driving is that the Maribao XL will be more fun, after all, it is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which will be more exciting than the natural CVT transmission.
It is worth mentioning that in August last year, The Maribao XL competed in the Zhejiang Circuit for the first time, breaking the fastest lap speed record of 200,000 production cars with a lap performance of 1′54"168, and not long ago, a lightly modified Maribao XL once again brushed the amazing fastest lap time of 1 minute 45 seconds 640, improving the lap performance by nearly 9 seconds.
As a mass production model produced by the original factory, it is not easy to achieve such results. Of course, the powerful powertrain, the extremely sporty chassis tuning and the excellent rigidity of the body all play a big role.
As for fuel consumption, the combined fuel consumption of 100 km per 100 km of Camry and Tianlai is 6L and 6.6L respectively, while the Maribao XL is 6.7L. Although the value is the largest, in fact, the difference between the three can be ignored, after all, fuel consumption also considers the personal driving habits and car use scenarios.
Finally, let's talk about the cost performance of these three cars, which is also an important indicator when making car purchase decisions. In fact, through the comparison of the above aspects, it is not difficult to see the overall advantages of The Maribao XL. Of course, there is a key winning indicator that we have not mentioned, and that is its price.
At present, The XL can be discounted by about 40,000 yuan in the terminal, and in terms of our top-end model, its price after the terminal discount is about 174,900 yuan, which is indeed significantly lower than the other two competitor models. Coupled with the strong product performance, it is not too much to call it the "ceiling" of the same level of cost performance.
summary
With a budget of 200,000 yuan to buy a B-class car, whether to choose the United States or Japan, if you are still hesitating, in fact, as long as you remember to pursue sports attributes, rich intelligent configuration and less budget, then choose Maribao XL.
If the pursuit of calm and introverted, there is no high demand for configuration, then choose in camry and tianlai. However, in today's very transparent product strength and price, I think many people already have the answer in their hearts. 【iDailycar】
