This year everything is rolling, the part-time worker is in the roll, the boss is also rolling, even the two breakfast stalls downstairs of the company are also rolling, this uncle launched 5 yuan egg scrambled powder today, tomorrow the big aunt launched a 5 yuan sausage powder package, there are eggs and minced meat! Not to mention, as a hit worker, it is also very happy to see the merchants start to roll up.
The same is true for buying a car, I originally wanted to simply write a comparison of the joint venture mid-size SUVs, but I found that these SUVs, which are obviously affordable for middle income, are actually rolled up. That's right, I'm talking about SAIC-GM Chevrolet Trailblazer, GAC Toyota Highlander, Changan Ford Sharp World PLUS!

These cars 300,000 are almost able to buy the top match, and in order to impress consumers, they each have a different rolling method, try their best to pull up the advantage to sell the car to you. Okay, today we will take a look at these cars who are the real roll king! Compare the models and prices as follows:

Oil prices continue to reach new highs, and you have to hold the fuel consumption while enjoying the power
The three cars have differences in the focus of the power system, such as the Ford Sharp World PLUS moving closer to the power performance, the Toyota Highlander using dual-engine power options to pull the fuel saving option full, and the pioneer equipped with the Chevrolet 2T9 power system chooses the balance point between the two, and there is also a satisfactory fuel consumption performance when ensuring excellent power performance.
Toyota's best play has always been dual engine power, the fourth generation Highlander in the generation of the use of HEV power system, 2.5L Dynamic Force engine + dual electric motor + E-CVT gearbox, it can be said that the fuel saving attributes of the whole car are full, after all, how many medium-sized SUVs can you see the fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km? But of course, you can't expect a horse to eat less and run faster, right? With the blessing of the motor, the highlander's initial throttle is a little accelerated, but after that... I believe that you can rarely see a few Highlanders racing on the road.
Toyota Highlander
In contrast to Highlander, Ford's bones have written the words "driving control": "What is the hell with fuel consumption?" Lao Tzu just needs to open it coolly! "Ruijie PLUS is such a car, although this Sharp World has been 7 years since the last generation, but the performance parameters of the EcoBoost 2.0T engine are still eye-catching today, and the 245-horsepower of the engine is still the highest in the three cars. The only problem is that in today's new high oil prices, the fuel consumption performance of Ruijie PLUS may not be able to keep you.
Ford Sharp Circle PLUS
In comparison, the Chevrolet Trailblazers seem to be more suitable for the balance that China pursues in terms of power configuration. The minimum fuel consumption of 7.1L/100km under NEDC conditions is absolutely satisfactory; The fastest 100 km/h acceleration of 8.4s also makes most people unable to fault it. Chevrolet 2T9 power system (the eighth generation ecotec 2.0T intelligent variable cylinder turbine engine + 9-speed HYDROMATIC manual transmission) from the source of design for the national six B forward development, compared to some car companies to take the engine rear-mounted three-way catalysis and carbon tank and other means, Chevrolet's 2T9 power system can be said to be completely in line with the domestic environment and born.

In order to strike a balance between high power and low fuel consumption, Chevrolet has put a lot of thought into this 2T9 powertrain. For example, the world's first three-stage sliding camshaft allows the engine to intelligently select the best valve lift based on the current driving situation. In the actual driving situation, when we small throttle or loosen the throttle, this set of 2T9 can intelligently switch the engine to a two-cylinder free-flow mode to ensure low fuel consumption; while at medium speed or low speed, the engine can switch to a four-cylinder efficient mode to ensure fuel saving effect; when the deep throttle is accelerated, the engine can switch to the four-cylinder surging mode to improve the power response.

Of course, to achieve intelligent cylinder change is only one of the steps of the 2T9 power system in order to have strong power and low fuel consumption, in fact, the system's high-intelligence electronic control, ATM active thermal management system, high-pressure direct injection system, active electronic control carbon tank pump, variable displacement oil pump, and the gearbox used in the optional single clutch, start-stop hydraulic accumulator, new torque converter design, etc. have made a lot of contributions to this, 48V light mix system has also made a lot of force, really enough to say that I can say three days and three nights. But as consumers, you just need to know the end result of these technologies.
Buying a medium and large SUV is for comfort, to be large to be comfortable and convenient
What are you buying a medium to large SUV for? It is to be big enough to be practical, for the sake of the family, every man to a stage must consider the practicality of the space of the whole car. The three medium and large SUVs mentioned today all have a seven-seat configuration, and they are guaranteed in the practical part. However, although they are all seven-seaters, they will still bring different spaces and riding comfort under the difference in body size.
Just like the difference in body size, in the interior space is still the pioneer to achieve better performance, in the case of three rows fully open, seven seats full, the comfort of the rear passengers can still be guaranteed, adults sitting in the third row to a short and medium-distance trip is not impossible. As for the performance of Ruijie PLUS and Toyota Highlander in space, it is half a pound and eight two, Highlander's second row head space is better, and Ruijie PLUS's third row of leg space is better, but overall there is a significant gap with the Chevrolet Trail Blazers.
Of course, in consideration of comfort, we can also further look at the difference in the configuration of the three cars, and directly pull out the table for comparison:

In general, the comfort configuration of the three cars has its own high and low, which depends on your needs for configuration. For me, although the configuration performance of Ruijie PLUS and Highlander is not bad, the Blazer has more on-board dashcam and active noise cancellation than the other two cars, and the steering wheel and seat heating functions are also very intimate, which is obviously more favorable.

Everyone has an intelligent network, you can't do without it, right?
Buying a car today in 2022, the Internet of Vehicles seems to be a necessary condition, after all, it is difficult to go back after feeling the convenience brought by smart technology. The good news is that all three cars are equipped with intelligent networking functions, and all cover most of the functions, and the remaining small differences are mainly reflected in the use experience.
Here directly named Toyota, just from the configuration table, Highlander does have a lot of intelligent networking functions, but in fact, Toyota's car machine system to use the experience of well... I know everything I want. Although Ford Ruijie PLUS has not made much effort in intelligent networking, the SYNC+ Zhixing infotainment system created by combining Baidu's artificial intelligence technology will at least not make you feel difficult to use.
Chevrolet pioneers in the three cars, and even the entire joint venture car performance is better, from the OnStar intelligent car connection system to the new generation of MyLink + intelligent car connection system, the entire GM in the field of intelligent car connection has been explored for many years, in the car network has a deeper accumulation. Last year, through the OTA upgrade, the pioneer's car machine system has been further improved, such as the voice control system customized with iFLYTEK has added different styles of voice packages, and the fluency, response speed and recognition rate of the system have also been further improved, which is a strong and comprehensive car machine system in the current joint venture camp.

summary
In general, these three cars have full shining points in today's medium and large SUV market. Among them, the long-known Highlander is in a position of nobility in terms of word of mouth or sales, although its comprehensive product strength is not the most prominent of the three cars, and it is necessary to increase the price from time to time, but highlander's high retention rate in the second-hand market is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
The Ford Ruijie PLUS will take more care of the driver, but it will be slightly less for the home attributes. If you're someone who wants to get a 7-seater SUV but would rather sacrifice space than drive, then Ruijie PLUS is one of the few that can meet your needs.
The Chevrolet Trailblazers are the typical type of large-tube fullness. Admittedly, the fame of the Chevrolet Trailblazer may not be as thunderous as the Highlander, but it is a model that can make consumers spend every penny more worthwhile, and the Pioneers also have outstanding advantages in the performance of comprehensive product strength such as power fuel consumption, driving pleasure, space and configuration. Quietly Mimi said that the Blazer's sales terminal has greater preferential strength, and the actual starting price can often give surprises, which can be called the price ratio of 300,000 SUV, and the real volume king.
