If the original car is placed 5 years ago, today's topic may be 250,000 yuan is to choose the family of Volkswagen Tuyue, or a more personalized Audi Q3, but in today's new energy models have unconsciously entered many families, especially for small partners in first-tier cities, such a situation is not uncommon. I believe that you will encounter such a car purchase scene around you, for a career just started and small consumers, holding a budget of 250,000 yuan, this time seems to be able to touch the luxury brand, but can only buy the entry model, can not solve the actual needs of the car, and buy ordinary brand models, and can not meet their preferences, to buy a pure electric model, but also mileage anxiety and safety considerations. So, how should the car buying troubles for such groups be solved?
At the price of 250,000 yuan, this time compared with the shopping guide we respectively selected audi Q3, Volkswagen Tanyue and Volkswagen ID.4 X, and the reason for the selection of these three cars is that volkswagen ID.4 X is a representative model of 250,000 yuan pure electric model, the actual endurance is real and reliable, the driving texture, appearance / interior design are very good, Audi Q3 is in the entry-level luxury SUV sales have been in the forefront, and Tanyue is also often stable sales around 10,000 units. In the actual car purchase scenario, these three cars are also models that users will be entangled in, in the end is to choose new energy vehicles? Or go to enough luxury brands? Or is it about choosing a model that is more reliable in terms of sales? In this article, we will solve this practical problem.
Appearance: ID.4 X Futuristic Audi Q3 / Tangaku has its own advantages
First, let's look at the Volkswagen ID.4 X. There is no doubt that among the three cars, its design language is the most futuristic, which is also the advantage of new energy models, the front face is connected by a penetrating LED light strip, while adding a new optimized Volkswagen logo, and canceling the middle grid grid, in order to optimize the aerodynamics of the vehicle, but ID.4 X still retains the design of the lower grille, the entire front face has an avant-garde, stylish visual sense, and will not let consumers feel that the span is too large, killing two birds with one stone.
Volkswagen Tanyue adopts Volkswagen's latest family design language, no border grille and two side headlights through each other, while Tanyue's lower grille design is also very flattering, the two sides of the heat dissipation also added to the piano paint design, the whole car's young, sporty sense has improved a lot, can be described as suitable for all ages.
Compared with Tanyue, the appearance of Audi Q3 is more youthful and sporty, its iconic polygonal mouth is composed of matrix grille inside, with the jagged headlights on both sides can be described as dynamic, while Audi Q3 also adopts a dual-appearance design, consumers can choose different versions according to their preferences.
Considering that the standard of 250,000 yuan is taken, the three specific models selected also have differences in the headlight configuration. Although all three models are equipped with LED high beam lights, the ID.4 X is equipped with more advanced matrix LED headlights and adaptive LED high beam lights, volkswagen Tanyue has more steering auxiliary lights, and audi Q3 because it can only buy low-end models, the headlight configuration is not dominant in the three vehicles.
The side of the body, of which the ID.4 X is a new energy model, uses a hidden door handle design to improve aerodynamic performance, and the side of the whole car looks more smooth. In terms of size, tanyue, which is positioned as a midsize SUV, has more advantages than the ID.4 X and Audi Q3 of compact SUVs, but it is worth mentioning that the ID.4 X built with the MEB pure electric platform has more wheelbase than the other two models, so who is better in the interior space of the three vehicles? Let's move on.
In terms of tires, the Audi Q3 and Tanyue both use tires with a specification of 235/55 R18, while the ID.4 X uses tires with a specification of 235/50 R20 (rear wheel: 255/45 R20), and the brand comes from Goodyear Eficient grip, which is a low rolling resistance tire, in addition to using the original "silent tread" design to minimize the noise of the tire on the road, under the premise of ensuring that the safety performance is not compromised. It also ensures smooth and smooth vehicle driving, thereby improving the vehicle's endurance.
The tail design of ID.4 X and the front face have a strong echo, first of all, it uses a penetrating LED taillight, the internal structure of the lamp cavity is dot matrix, the sense of technology is very sufficient, and the LED light strip of the front face echoes; followed by the design of the lower bumper, ID.4 X added a "C" shaped chrome trim on both sides, which also echoes with the front bumper, and also increases the recognition of the model.
The tail design of Tanyue is flat and stable, the sense of layering is sufficient, and the wide lower surround is also added with silver skid plates to highlight the sense of luxury, but the exhaust system on both sides of the rear of the Tanyue is "false exhaust", and the real exhaust hole is hidden in the bottom of the vehicle.
The rear of the Audi Q3 is in line with its positioning, the main sense of sport, the most obvious place is the lower bracketing design it uses, and the difference between Tanyue is that it adopts a black four-stage lower encirclement, and the sports model is more sufficient than that of Tanyue, which is more sufficient than that of Tanyue, which is biased towards home use.
Summary: In terms of appearance, the Volkswagen ID.4 X as an electric vehicle is undoubtedly more avant-garde than the other two opponents, and the good feeling at first glance will be more sufficient, while in terms of details, such as rim shape, size and headlight shape, Tanyue and Audi Q3 are inferior to ID.4 X. So, in terms of appearance alone, I would prefer the Volkswagen ID.4 X among the three cars.
Interior: Id.4 X is more technologically advanced
After talking about the exterior, let's look at the interior. It can be seen that the ID.4 X from the MEB platform is significantly different from the Tanyue and Audi Q3 in design, and the core visual difference is that it adopts a floating central control screen and a full LCD instrument, which is more advanced in design, and the double-colored interior also makes the cockpit look more warm; while the Tanyue and Audi Q3 are from the MQB platform, and both cars use the design of shifting towards the main driving. Of course, the workmanship on the three cars are very good, the following we mainly talk about the difference in configuration.
Compared with Tanyue and Audi Q3, the interior material of ID.4 X is more lively, in addition to the interior layout of the two-color block, including the addition of two-color stitching and 30-color atmosphere lights, the favorability of the ID.4 X cockpit has increased, and at the same time, the real-shot model in addition to the seat heating function, but also supports the front seat massage and two-speed seat memory function, such a comfort configuration is indeed rare in the same price model.
Tanyue's interior materials are relatively modest, the center console is composed of a large area of metal trim and piano paint, in addition to not much other highlights, and although the real-time model is equipped with seat heating, this function is only available on the top model of the 330TSI and 380TSI.
The biggest highlight of the Audi Q3 interior is undoubtedly the addition of a large number of Alcantara fur materials, not only easy to take care of, the cockpit sports atmosphere has also been improved, of course, the real-time model does not have any comfort function, the seat heating function needs to be optional to obtain, the cost is 2500 yuan.
ID.4 X is equipped with a 5.3-inch full LCD instrument as standard, although the size is small, but the sense of technology is very strong, the information integration is also very high, and the right side of the dashboard also integrates a gear shift mechanism, which is an innovative point.
Tanyue in the high-end model using 10.3-inch full LCD instrument, the sense of science and technology in the same level of fuel vehicles do not fall behind, of course, compared with ID.4 X visual sense is not outstanding, while Tanyue's multi-functional steering wheel is the traditional button type, compared to the ID.4 X touch type is also slightly inferior.
Audi Q3 uses a 10.25-inch LCD instrument, but the left and right sides still retain the oil temperature and fuel tank display pointer, of course, the real model is the lowest model, and in the high-end model, it will be upgraded to a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument.
There are also great differences in the car system, of which ID.4 X adopts Volkswagen's latest intelligent interaction system, the screen size reaches 12 inches, and in addition to supporting the conventional Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife and voice interaction system, it also has remote control, smart watch connection and smart home device connection and other functions, intelligent and rich.
On the other hand, Tanyue is equipped with a 9.2-inch central control screen, and it is also very complete in terms of conventional functions, such as the standard Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife and intelligent voice system, which basically reached the mainstream level, but at present, the latest MOS3.2 system of the public has not been delegated to Tanyue, and the intelligent experience and functional scalability are not as good as ID.4 X.
Audi Q3 is equipped with a 10.1-inch large screen, the UI interface and the Volkswagen model have the same magic, but still that sentence, because it is a low-end model, this system in addition to meeting the basic mobile phone interconnection, such as intelligent voice system and Car Networking are not available.
Most of the buttons in the Volkswagen ID.4 X cockpit are touch-type, while the air conditioning control buttons ID.4 X and Tanyue are integrated in the central control screen, and the Audi Q3 uses the traditional knob type; in terms of configuration, the three cars are equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning, but the ID.4 X has more air purification systems and PM2.5 filters than the latter two in the case of lower guidance prices, and the configuration is more sincere.
Summary: In terms of interior, I will prefer ID.4 X in the three cars, in addition to the design of the double color, the more high-tech full LCD instrument and 30-color atmosphere lights are one of the reasons why I chose it, and the ID.4 X car engine system intelligence is also the highest among the three cars; of course, the Audi Q3 interior is also good, for users who prefer sports cockpits, the emergence of Alcantara material can undoubtedly capture its demand points, and the interior of Tanyue is relatively "flat", No bright spots seem to be its biggest highlight.
Space: Tanyue size advantage obvious ID.4 X reflects the advantage of pure tram Audi Q3 is more cramped
In terms of space, we invited three experiencers who are about 178cm tall to evaluate the three cars, and it can be seen that Tanyue, who is more dominant in body height, has a better head space than ID.4 X and Audi Q3, close to one punch and four fingers, which is very surplus, while ID.4 X and Audi Q3 are both about one punch.
The biggest advantage of the ID.4 X rear is that it is close to the flat platform, and the 5-person ride is not a big problem, while the ID.4 X is positioned in a compact SUV, but the rear legroom still reaches more than two punches, which is obviously advantageous compared with the Audi Q3, which is also a compact SUV.
Tanyue not only has certain advantages in size, the internal space is also the best of the three cars, the rear row is very surplus, whether it is leg space or head space, the only thing to complain about is that the rear row bulge is higher, and long-distance travel can only meet the two people to ride.
The overall space performance of audi Q3 is the smallest of the three cars, although the rear head adopts a hollowing treatment, but the sense of experience is still slightly depressed, the leg space is barely enough to reach two punches, and the Audi Q3 and Tanyue have the same problem, that is, the platform is raised higher, and the rear seat is not suitable for 3 people.
ID.4 X's conventional storage space performance is also not bad, for me to praise is that the front excludes the area where the mobile phone is placed due to the wireless charging function of the mobile phone, and the space for placing the mobile phone is also set up below the rear air conditioner outlet, and the USB interface is just placed below, and the mobile phone charging is very convenient.
Tanyue's in-car storage space can only be regarded as mid-range level in the comparison of medium-sized SUVs, but it is not bad in this three-car comparison, and there is basically no big problem in meeting the needs of daily cars.
The regular storage space of the Audi Q3 is not rich, and the storage area used by the daily high frequency, such as the front row central armrest box volume is too small, but the Audi Q3 has a small detail worthy of praise, that is, a storage area is set up separately under the rear seats, and some of the bits and pieces of the rear passengers can be selected to be placed here.
The volume of the Tanyue trunk is the best of the three vehicles, reaching 506L, while the ID.4 X is 484L, and the Audi Q3 is the minimum of 450L; in terms of configuration, the ID.4 X and tanyue are equipped with electric tailgates and inductive tailgates, which are more convenient than the Audi Q3.
Summary: In terms of internal space, Tanyue is the best of the three cars, but combined with the actual car scene, considering that the rear platform of the Volkswagen ID.4 X is flat, whether it is a daily trip or a long-distance trip, there is no problem with taking 3 people, it can be said that the advantages of pure electric models are played to the fullest, plus the comfort configuration is also ID.4 X is the most abundant, so if it is a user with high demand for space, you can choose between Tanyue and ID.4 X.
Power/Safety: Id.4 X has the lowest cost/fastest acceleration
The powertrain is arguably the part that makes the biggest differences between the three cars. First of all, as a new energy vehicle, ID.4 X has inherent advantages in acceleration and NVH performance, of course, many users have doubts about its mileage, so we may wish to first make a simple understanding of the powertrain of the three cars. The neDC comprehensive cruising range of the real-shot ID.4 X is 555km, and according to our actual measurements, the actual endurance of the ID.4 X in the city reaches 466km, and the endurance achievement rate is as high as 83.9%! Although there is still a gap compared with fuel vehicles, there is not much problem in meeting the daily urban commute.
Tanyue is equipped with 2.0T (the third generation EA888 turbo engine) + 7-speed wet dual-clutch powertrain, for this power system must be no stranger to many users, a large number of Volkswagen models are equipped, and the real-time model uses a low-power 330TSI 2.0T engine, although the horsepower is only 186Ps, but it is enough to cope with daily driving.
Audi Q3 has 1.4T and 2.0T two sets of engines, the real-time model uses a power combination of 1.4T + 7DCT, and this power system does not have much advantage in performance, 100 km acceleration of 9.8 seconds, is the slowest of the three vehicles, of course, in terms of comprehensive fuel consumption, Audi Q3 still has certain advantages over Tanyue.
Speaking of fuel consumption, since the ID.4 X is the only new energy model among the three vehicles, we take the cost per kilometer as a measure to see who has the lowest cost of using the car. Among them, the fuel tanks of Tanyue and Audi Q3 are 60L, referring to the current price of No. 95 gasoline in Shanghai (9.16 yuan), it takes 549.6 yuan to fill up the oil, according to their different NEDC 100 km fuel consumption, the driving cost of each kilometer of Tanyue and Audi Q3 needs 0.62 yuan and 0.61 yuan respectively (the actual fuel consumption is different, for reference only), the difference is almost the same.
ID.4 X is a pure electric model, its battery pack capacity is 83.4kWh, NEDC 100 km power consumption of 16.2kWh, with reference to the Charging Price of 18:00-21:00 in Shanghai (Star Charging, 1.24 yuan / kWh), it only needs 0.2 yuan per kilometer (the actual power consumption is different, for reference only), and the cost of the car is much lower than that of Tanyue and Audi Q3!
In the chassis part, all three cars use the suspension structure of front McPherson + rear multi-link, but the ID.4 X is different from Tanyue and Audi Q3 in that it is a rear-mounted rear-drive model, coupled with the design of the short front and rear suspension, the handling performance of the ID.4 X will theoretically be the best of the three cars; in addition, all three cars are available in the high-end model with four-wheel drive versions.
It is worth mentioning that for some users of the safety of pure electric models, ID.4 X is also thinking about the front of consumers. First of all, the ID.4 X battery adopts a breathing ultra-high-strength battery pack, which has several major features, such as a triple sealed upper shell, an aluminum alloy frame, a protective breathing valve, a 2-millisecond high-voltage cutting mechanism, an aluminum stamped bottom armor and a high-voltage copper-row vibration-absorbing insulation design, that is, under the blessing of a variety of safety designs, the battery pack equipped with ID.4 X has won 338 brand standard battery safety verifications. Therefore, users who are worried about ID.4 X security can rest assured.
Summary: Driving part we are divided into two levels, first of all, the three cars can meet the daily transportation needs, although there is still a gap in endurance, but in terms of driving texture, ID.4 X in terms of acceleration performance and NVH are better than the other two fuel vehicles, which is also its innate advantage; at the same time, through the data in the table, it can be concluded that the daily traffic cost of ID.4 X is much lower than that of Tanyue and Audi Q3, plus the daily maintenance cost of pure electric models is cheaper than that of fuel vehicles. As well as advantages such as green cards, ID.4 X is more cost-effective than Tanyue and Audi Q3, whether it is the purchase cost or the cost of the car in the future.
Editor's comments: There is no doubt that the three cars have their own product advantages, of which audi Q3 wins in the brand, Volkswagen Tanyue sales are extremely outstanding, and the recognition of the older generation of consumers is very high, and the Volkswagen ID.4 X has a huge advantage in intelligence, comfort and car maintenance costs. Therefore, to answer the question at the beginning of the article, if the budget is controlled at about 250,000 yuan, the first of the three cars should be PASS the model should be Audi Q3, not only the smallest space, its configuration at this price point is not cheap compared to the other two models; and in terms of Volkswagen ID.4 X and Volkswagen Tanyue, although the latter currently has a large market terminal discount, but Volkswagen ID.4 X can be on the green card, in first-tier cities and areas with limited licenses, it can help users save a considerable license fee. In addition, the Volkswagen ID.4 X in terms of configuration, intelligence and comfort is also better than Tanyue. So, if the budget is 250,000 yuan, my first choice among the three cars will be the Volkswagen ID.4 X.
