Now more and more families are starting to consider 300,000 SUV levels, because SUV at this price point has more space and can meet higher travel needs. In this price range, there are hardcore SUVs and urban SUVs to choose from, and today CheShu picked two representative products for comparison, they are Ford Road shakers and Honda UR-V.
The 2020 Ford Roadbreaker was launched in July 2020, and the price range of the car is 275,800 to 374,800 yuan. The 2020 Honda UR-V was launched in June 2020, and the new car has a total of 5 configurations, with a price range of 246,800 to 329,800 yuan.
Next, the car uncle will focus on the selection of the guidance price of 326,800 yuan Ford Roadbreaker 2.3T gasoline automatic four-wheel drive luxury edition 5-seater and Honda UR-V top version model comparison, the price difference between the two is not large, so under this premise which model has a higher product force?
Exterior design
The 2020 Ford roadbreaker did not focus on the internal and external design of the upgrade, and the whole vehicle still continued the design of the old model, perhaps the manufacturer believes that such an appearance is hard enough and does not need to be adjusted. The new model is divided into ordinary version and sports version, of which the ordinary version of the front face part is missing the black honeycomb grille, the momentum is weakened a lot, but the shape of the three chrome trim strips in the middle part looks more attractive, while the bottom front bumper is connected with the protective plate, the shape is very rough, the radar position equipped at the bottom is relatively low, and the obstacle can be identified earlier when off-road.
The overall shape of the new Honda UR-V is more consistent with the old model, calm and atmospheric and has a very high sense of grade. Carefully it seems that the new car still has some more obvious adjustments, of which the model's middle net adopts a honeycomb design, the overall position is more up, it seems more uplifting, and the chrome trim that runs through the left and right headlights passes above the middle net, and the chrome logo is matched together, which is very delicate. The shape of the angular headlight group on the left and right sides has not changed, but because the change of chrome trim has shifted everyone's visual highlight area, the light group looks as if it has changed.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Ford Roadbreaker are 4892×1862×1837 mm, and the wheelbase is 2850mm. The overall design of the body side of the new model has not changed, continuing the previous hardcore and burly posture, and the feeling of a tough guy can always attract many consumers to pay for it.
The Honda UR-V's specific length, width and height were 4856×1942×1675 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2820mm, which was slightly behind in terms of key body length and wheelbase. Compared with the previous version, the 2020 model has increased by 31mm in terms of body length, increased height by 5mm, the whole body posture looks more slender, the new wheel shape equipped at the bottom is more exquisite, the light color and dark color blend, carefully look at the five-spoke petal style, and the rim is matched with the Michelin SUV series.
The ford trailblazer's tail design is very full, and the higher body posture makes it look domineering. The tail light group on the left and right sides of the new car is more rounded, and the thick silver trim plate in the middle part runs through it, effectively extending the red visual effect of the tail, while the EVERSET logo is printed on the trim plate, which further enhances the recognition of the whole vehicle.
The overall style of the rear part of the Honda UR-V car has not changed much compared with the previous model, and the most significant change is reflected in the taillight group part, in which the through-line taillights of the new car are more simple and direct than the previous version, looking less bulky and more dexterous than before. In addition, the compact rear wing adds a black wind guide trim, which is slightly different from the previous design.
Interior design
Ford roadbreakers have no obvious changes in interior design, the entire cockpit is outlined with tough lines, the shape is consistent with the old model, most of the interior is physical buttons, with a certain degree of practicality, but the sense of technology is relatively backward. The four-frame steering wheel in front of the main driver is atmospheric, and the left and right side function buttons are covered with cruise control, audio control, voice Bluetooth and dashboard control, etc., the disk body is relatively thick and the grip is full. The 8-inch color touch LCD interface on the center console is more concise in design, and the sensitivity of the screen is also excellent.
The Honda UR-V is not much different from the previous version in terms of interior design, and the symmetrical style is very calm. The steering wheel directly in front of the main driver is still the familiar style, but the original silver trim has been changed to a black trim, and the disc width looks more slender, but the grip is still relatively good. The internal display information of the instrument cluster in the mechanical + LCD style is relatively clear, and the internal display content can be adjusted through the steering wheel. The central control operation area still maintains the original appearance, and the 8-inch LCD touch screen can be adjusted at an angle, reducing the sense of reflection, and also conducive to the operation of the driver, which is a more considerate design.
The Ford Trailblazer interior seats are wrapped in leather fabrics, feature power adjustments in the main driver's seat, and support options for electric adjustment of the passenger seat and heating of the front seats. The front seats of this model are relatively wide, the backrest is close to the human body, and the wings on both sides have a certain degree of prominence, and the comfort and wrapping are good.
The Honda UR-V interior seats are wrapped in leather fabrics, and there are more electric adjustments in the passenger seats, heating/ventilation of the front seats, electric seat memory in the driver's seat, and adjustable buttons in the rear of the passenger seat than in the Ford Roadbreaker. The front seats of the new car are more refined in terms of detail design, and the pattern style abandons the previous horizontal strip style and becomes more classy, but the specific riding experience has not changed.
The rear seats in the Ford Roadbreaker car are at the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, the tilt angle between the cushion and the backrest is large, and the softness and hardness of the middle position is moderate, but the seat cushion is short and the convex amplitude of the central platform is high, which affects the comfort of the ride.
The rear seats in the Honda UR-V car are very wide, and the side position is still equipped with a small elbow rest, and the details reflect the home and comfort of the whole car. At the same time, the sides of the seat have obvious inverted positions, the feeling of wrapping is good, and the legroom is more than two fists.
dynamical system
The Ford Roadbreaker is powered by a 2.3T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 275 hp and a peak torque of 455 Nm. In terms of transmission system, it is matched by a 10-speed manual transmission, in addition, the car adopts a non-load-bearing body structure and is also equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system.
Honda UR-V power matched with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 272 hp and a peak torque of 370 Nm, which was equally good. In terms of transmission system, the engine is matched by a 9-speed manual transmission and a timely four-wheel drive system.
Uncle Che summed up
Overall, the Ford Roadbreaker and the Honda UR-V are two models with completely different positions, but both fall under the category of joint venture midsize SUVs. From the comparison of the above aspects, we can see that their advantages are different, with the Ford Roadbreaker having a more powerful body structure, larger external dimensions and better power performance, while the Honda UR-V has a more comprehensive functional configuration and a more comfortable riding experience. From the perspective of the daily use of ordinary families, the practicality of the Honda UR-V is obviously higher, so in this round of duels, Uncle Che recommends the Honda UR-V more.
