The word cost-effective has long been linked to independent brands, but the world has changed, and now some joint ventures have also put down their bodies and taken the road of cost performance.

Recently, there are many popular new cars, most of which are still expected, regardless of product strength or price, if they can be surprised in some aspect, it will certainly be different fireworks. The new Ford Mondeo has done it, not how prominent the product is, but the pre-price is really shocking to me, a car length of more than 4 meters 9, wheelbase more than 2 meters 9, the whole series of 2.0T B-class cars, the pre-sale price has dropped to 159,800-219,800 yuan, which is even the rice bowl of the compact car to grab ah.
It successfully broke the inherent impression of the high price of the joint venture car in everyone's mind, just by taking this opportunity, Lao Ma will give you a few cost-effective joint venture cars, hoping to help everyone choose a car to buy a car.
The all-new Ford Mondeo
The design is young, the whole series is 2.0T, and the price is affordable
The new generation of Mondeo has changed a lot, and although the current model also has a slight dynamic style, it is still a small witch in front of the new car. The new car features Ford's latest family-style design, which resembles EVOS and Lingyu. The black parametric scale grille, which is similar to a hexagon, and with the split headlights, the visual effect is very young, but it may feel unstable for some people when used in a B-class car.
The sides are also youthful and dynamic, with a sloping roof and a short, upturned tail compartment that looks like a hatchback coupe. Both the front and rear fenders have obvious bulges and a sense of power. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4935/1875/1500mm, and the wheelbase is 2945mm, which is still relatively advantageous in the same level.
The tail adopts the popular through-style taillights, and the two sides are a bit of a Mustang meaning, and the visual effect is very prominent.
The new car provides two appearance styles, the normal version and the ST-Line, the ST-Line version of the model has more blackening elements, and the small tail wing on the tail box cover, etc., has a stronger sports atmosphere.
The interior is the same as evos through the large screen, the width of more than 1.1 meters, the size of 27 inches, the sense of technology is in place, the three-spoke steering wheel shape is light and dynamic, and the knob shift also plays a role in enhancing the sense of technology. The black color scheme and red trim can create a youthful and dynamic atmosphere. In general, it is the sense of technology, but it lacks the luxury of some B-class cars.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine, which is also very thick in the same class, with a maximum power of 238 horsepower and a maximum torque of 376 Nm, matching the 8-speed manual transmission.
In my opinion, the new Mondeo is a relatively extreme car, it completely takes the young, technological route, should be more pleasing to the younger generation of consumers, the matching of power is also very generous, the price is even lower than expected. The name Mondeo still has a good group base and recognition in China, and I believe that with high cost performance, the new car should have a better market performance than the current model.
It is reported that the new car or officially listed in April, in general, the normal price will be lower than the pre-price, but the pre-price of Mondeo, there should be no room for decline, it is enough to maintain the pre-price, but maybe Ford can also give us a little surprise, look forward to it.
Buick Yinglang
Mainstream design, terminal discount is great
Speaking of cost-effective, how can there be no Buick Yinglang? Over the years, Yinglang's sales have been good, and the cost performance is its killer. Although the guidance price of 119,900-125,900 yuan is not much prominent, but the people's discount is big, and the discount is more than 40,000 at every turn, that is, 70,800 or 80,000 can buy a mature and reliable joint venture compact car.
In terms of design, Yinglang is a standard family car look, which is very attractive. The side is not as regular as the traditional sedan, or there are some fashion dynamic elements, in line with the new aesthetic. The most eye-catching design of the side should be the waist line that runs from the beginning to the end, and there is an upward folding line in the back door, which exists so that this family car will not look so boring.
The body size is standard compact, with a length, width and height of 4609/1798/1464mm and a wheelbase of 2640mm. The design of the rear of the car is also real, there is no popular through taillights, there is no large size exhaust, but also very much in line with its positioning.
The interior is Buick's consistent wrap-around design, don't expect anything with the material, after all, the price is here, the workmanship must not be worried, the high-end configuration is not to think, basically to meet the needs of daily cars.
In terms of power, there are 1.5L self-priming and 1.3T engines to choose from, and the matching is a 6-speed manual transmission. The 1.5L self-priming is a four-cylinder, but the power is not strong enough; while the 1.3T is strong, but it is a three-cylinder machine, which may become a place for car buyers to struggle.
Skoda Octavia PRO
With the support of the MQB EVO platform, the product strength has been comprehensively improved
From the price of 124,900-157,900 yuan alone, Octavia PRO and high cost performance do not seem to be too close, but its product power has indeed been greatly improved compared to the old model, so selling this price, I think it is still more realistic.
First of all, the appearance of the new car is still quite sharp, in line with the current trend of rejuvenation. Especially with the paint of that energy orange, there is still a good return rate on the street. And the whole series of RS kits added body, looking more spirited.
The body size has increased significantly compared to the old model, and the role is in the appearance, that is, the side is more slender and the proportion is better. Acting in the car, that is, the rear space has been greatly improved, which definitely belongs to the best in the same class.
The new car retains the hatchback tailgate, which is extremely practical, the opening is huge, and the trunk volume of the Octavia PRO itself is also very good, so the convenience is by no means comparable to that of the average sedan.
The interior changes have been reborn, synchronizing the latest digital cockpit of the Volkswagen Group, whether it is design, technology and luxury, it is much better than before. The central control large screen is good in clarity, there is no major problem with the use of the car machine, and the popular and high proportion of daily use of intelligent functions are available.
The driver assistance system of the high-end model is more comprehensive and more reassuring to use. The power combination of the 1.4T+7 speed dual clutch has not changed, and the performance of the old duo is still outstanding, whether it is power or smoothness, there is nothing to be picky about. The chassis strikes a good balance between comfort and sport, with daily filtration in place and some support on mountain roads.
In general, Octavia PRO is a very practical, very comprehensive family car, but the brand force dragged its legs, if you change a volkswagen label, it is estimated to sell crazy.
Chevrolet Explorer
The driving experience is good, and the terminal offers are large
The first few are cars, the following recommend an SUV, on the cost performance, that Chevrolet Explorer must not give in. The guidance price of 169,900-239,900 yuan is already much lower than many models of the same level, coupled with the large discount of the terminal, the cost performance is more prominent.
About 200,000, you can buy a 2.0T four-wheel drive top with medium-sized SUV, just ask who else? Although its size is not yet medium-sized, people position themselves as medium-sized.
After the revamp, the Explorer has a younger appearance, especially the RS model, more sporty elements, and looks more cool. I like the split headlights, which are basically the most pleasing of all the split headlights.
This appearance, looking quite exciting, but sitting in the car, the gap is a bit large, and the interior is also the place where everyone complains the most about Chevrolet. Its overall design is more old-fashioned, lack of fashion sense and sense of technology, luxury is basically not talked about, that is, people can not raise any interest. Some models of the 2022 model have been equipped with a larger central control screen, but the improvement of the overall atmosphere is also relatively limited.
As long as you pass the interior of this pass, open it, you may fall in love with the Explorer, inheriting chevrolet's sports genes, the Explorer is not too "SUV", the sense of control in the SUV is a relatively high level, but also to ensure comfort, it is difficult to take into account, but the Explorer has achieved. Power is no problem, 2.0T+9AT powertrain, can make most people drive refreshingly.
Modern Kustu
The price is comparable to autonomy and the product is balanced
As soon as the price of Kustu was listed, I thought of a lyric: stunned old iron, what kind of performance is this, I have never seen it before, it is an eye-opening. This is also too cheap, 169,800-218,800 yuan, is completely the price of independent brands, and after the test drive, the product force is also very worthy of affirmation, at that time I had the impulse to change the car.
The biggest controversy may be the appearance, the modern new design style is more sharp, no problem with the Elantra, but put on the MPV, some people will feel too exaggerated. I used to think the same way, until I actually test drove it, looked at the real car, and felt that it was not so difficult to accept. And Kustu is the main home, and there is nothing wrong with the design being younger.
In terms of body size, the Kussuit is 4950/1850/1734mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 3055mm, which is between Odyssey and GL8.
Unlike the exterior, the interior of Kustu is still relatively "traditional". The large area of gray/meter color matching brings a warm and homely atmosphere, allowing people to relax, while the full LCD instrument, vertical central control screen, button shift, etc., make the car not lose the most popular sense of technology. Only due to the cost limitation, the center console hard material is more, but the look and feel is not cheap, and there is no problem in the workmanship.
The second row of seats is comfortable to ride, the test drive should be the top of the whole series, so the function is quite rich, all the controls are basically electric, not only can move back and forth, but also move left and right, in addition to ventilation and heating, there is a key to lie down and a key to recover, it is very convenient to use.
Under the premise of not affecting the second row of passengers' riding space, moving the second row of seats forward can make enough space for the third row of passengers, basically people under 1 meter 8 in height are not a problem to ride for a long time.
With all three rows of seats erected, the Kustu trunk space is not dominant in the same class, but it still has a certain storage capacity, and it is possible to put down a few backpacks, or relatively small boxes.
In terms of configuration, Kustu is also quite generous, basically what we want to get, what we can't think of is matched, and the richness is at the same level as the independent brand.
In terms of power, there are two engines available, 1.5T and 2.0T, both matched with 8AT transmissions. The test drive is the 2.0T version, the power is completely enough, I believe that pulling full of 7 people and luggage, will not be tired. What is more commendable is the smooth performance, which is what an MPV should look like the most. Chassis tuning is more comfortable, and for road bumps filtered in place, passengers in the car must not have any complaints about its comfort performance.
In general, Kustu is a joint venture brand, the quality of the joint venture, and at the same time has a price comparable to its own, which can be said to be a real fragrance.
summary
Cost-effective and joint venture cars, these two words seem to be contradictory, but several in this article set them in one, the pursuit of cost performance, and the quality of friends who pay more attention to quality, you can understand it, personally try, maybe find the right one.
