Running high speed requires the performance of a car, especially power, if the power is weak, it is difficult to experience driving pleasure at high speed. And in some cases, such as overtaking or something, the power is too weak and there may be a safety hazard. Of course, in addition to the power, the high-speed running is also closely related to the tuning of the car and the quality of the car itself, and although some cars are very powerful, the body will be very floaty after the speed is fast, and there is no sense of security when driving. In this issue, we will introduce several cars with a price of about 200,000 yuan, which is most suitable for running high-speed cars, with good sound insulation, stable and safe.
Unit 1 is Buick LaCrosse.
LaCrosse positioning is half a level higher than ordinary mid-level cars, belonging to the B+ level, but now the overall price of American cars is relatively large, and the same is true for LaCrosse. Although the guidance price is 219,800-28.98 million, the terminal discount once reached 45,000, and the starting price of the 1.5T model has fallen to about 175,000. Of course, if you often run high-speed, then the 2.0T model will obviously be more suitable, recommend the 2022 652T luxury model, the guidance price of 239,800, the actual reference price after the discount is about 195,000.
The appearance of LaCrosse, the overall design is still very atmospheric, whether it is the front, side or rear of the car, it is decorated with a large number of silver chrome trim strips, which looks more advanced. And in terms of size, the length of the car reached 5026 mm, the width of the car was 1866 mm, and the wheelbase was 2905 mm, which was better than the mainstream mid-level car. However, a common problem in American cars is that the body parameters are excellent, and the performance of the interior space is relatively general.
In the actual experience, the passengers who are 1 meter 76 tall sit in the front row, punch in the head space, keep the position unchanged to come to the 2nd row, due to the design, the rear of the car is somewhat slippery, so the head space is only four fingers, but the legs have two fists and two fingers. The middle platform has a bulge but is relatively small, the feet can be put up, and the adult sitting on it is more normal and does not feel depressed.
In fact, another advantage of LaCrosse is the sound insulation level, equipped with active noise cancellation and front row multi-layer soundproof glass. Although the performance of the rear row is average, if you sit in the front row and close the doors and windows, you can hardly hear the sounds outside. Even if you run at high speeds, the speed of more than 110 is very quiet, which is unmatched by many other models in the same class.
And in terms of power, LaCrosse did not disappoint. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine code-named LSY, with a maximum horsepower of 237 hp and a peak torque of 350 Nm, which matches the 9AT gearbox. The official measured zero hundred acceleration of this set of power is only 7.2 seconds, which is very strong. Driving up the steering wheel is light, the steering precision is not virtual, although the body is very large, the curb weight reaches 1.6 tons, but it does not feel bulky when driving, and the chassis is stable when running long-distance high speeds, there is a feeling of close to the ground, which makes people full of confidence.
The next model to be introduced is the Volkswagen Magotan.
Once The Magotan was once identified as a mid-level car benchmark, sales are also the top of the monthly ranking, but now the Japanese car momentum is strong, Accord and Camry basically won the top two, but really to say the strength, Maiten is actually not inferior at all. The guidance price of the car is 186,900-30.99 million, and the terminal in some areas even has a discount of about 40,000, and the recommended model 2020 380TSI DSG luxury model, the guidance price is 249,900, and the actual reference price is less than 210,000.
Anyone who has driven a Magotan should know that the 280, 330 and 380 models have a very obvious difference in driving experience, and the 380 model personally feels that it is one of the best in the same class in terms of handling. It is equipped with a 2.0T medium-power engine of the Volkswagen EA888-DKX, with a maximum horsepower of 220 hp and a peak torque of 350 meters, and is mated to a 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmission. The official zero hundred acceleration performance of this power set is 7.2 seconds like the LaCrosse, and the quality of the two vehicles is comparable, and the Magotan is 1.58 tons, which is only 20 kg lighter than the LaCrosse's 1.6 tons.
Moreover, the chassis tuning of the German car is very solid and reliable, and the posture of the body is stable on the high speed, even if there is a large car passing by, the body will not have obvious movement. And the steering is very precise, the sense of virtual position is clear, and it is very good to open, but in the sound insulation level, Maiteng still has a certain gap with LaCrosse, there is no active noise reduction and multi-layer soundproof glass, and the noise is somewhat obvious if the speed is fast. And the dual-clutch transmission rises from first to second gear at low speed, and there is a sense of frustration when accelerating, not as gentle as the torque converter gearbox.
In terms of space, Magotan still has an advantage. Although the car is only 4865 mm long and has a wheelbase of 2871 mm, the utilization of internal space is high, especially in the second row. Passengers with a height of 1 meter 76 sat in, with more than one punch in the head space and close to three fists in the legs, not only can have a comfortable sitting posture, but also can even their legs. However, the middle platform of the rear row is very large, even if the feet can be placed on it, but the sitting posture has been deformed, sitting in the middle position for a long time, and the comfort is poor.
The last model to be introduced is the Ford Taurus.
In fact, in the B+ level of this segment, Taurus has been highly respected, but the sales are general, after all, the positioning is higher, and the brand has no advantages, coupled with the price of luxury brands gradually declining, in the face of awkward positioning, sales are naturally difficult to go up. The guidance price of the car is 228,900-288,900, the terminal discount is less basically only about 25,000, the recommended model 2019 EcoBoos 245 Premium Edition, the guidance price is 248,900, and the actual reference price after the discount is about 225,000.
Compared with LaCrosse and Magotan, today's Taurus is obviously more inclined to the business model, so this alone excludes many young consumer groups. However, this stable design, personally still like very much, and in terms of size Taurus is not too different from the LaCrosse, the length of the car is 5018 mm, but the width of the car reaches 1884 mm, the wheelbase is 2945 mm. In addition to the length of the car, it is better than the LaCrosse, especially the width of the car of nearly 1 meter 9, which further improves the momentum of the whole vehicle.
And the performance in terms of space did not disappoint, the passenger with a height of 1 meter 76 sat in the front row, punched in the head space, came to the back row, at this time there was still a punch in the head, three punches on the legs, very spacious. The seat cushions are wide and soft, the body wrapping and leg support are good, and the comfort is even better than that of LaCrosse and Magotan, after all, this is a business-oriented model. However, it is a little pity that Taurus is not equipped with an active noise reduction system, although the front row has multiple layers of sound insulation glass, but the sound insulation performance of the whole vehicle is general, the tire noise is somewhat obvious if the speed is fast, and the engine noise is relatively large when the cold car starts.
Of course, Taurus's three major pieces are undoubtedly one of its major advantages. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 245 hp and a peak torque of 390 Nm, matching an 8AT gearbox. This 2.0T+8AT combination, although the official zero hundred acceleration performance is only 8.5 seconds, but considering the 1.8 tons of curb weight, it is also expected. And the strong power is not picky, add No. 92 gasoline can be, in the current high fuel consumption, can reduce the cost of the car to a certain extent.
And also as an American car, taurus as a whole gives people a better driving experience than LaCrosse and Magotan, especially when running at high speed, the stability is not even inferior to the Audi A6L and BMW 5 Series. Coupled with the rich configuration, such as the B&O sound equipped with 14 speakers, driving while playing music while running at high speed, it is definitely a pleasure.
Comments: The above three mid-level cars of more than 200,000 are undoubtedly three models with very high cost performance at present, and the terminal discount can basically reach between 25,000-45,000. Coupled with strong power, excellent handling, wide space and rich configuration, if there is a certain demand for running high speed, it is obviously a very good choice.
