In order to more intuitively show the performance of different models in terms of "new car commerciality", on the basis of "new car commercial evaluation", the car quality network more intuitively shows the advantages and disadvantages of different models in terms of new car commerciality through the comparison of various sub-data, and objectively evaluates the data differences to provide consumers with more valuable car purchase suggestions. The cross-evaluation of the commerciality of new cars in this issue will be objectively judged from the level of "manufacturing process".
For young consumers, when choosing a car, they often pay more attention to the appearance, power and configuration of the performance, car companies naturally understand this very well, so "invest in their favor" has become a compulsory course. However, even links such as body craftsmanship, paint film level, in-car noise and vibration, etc., which are relatively easy to be ignored by young consumers, should also be guaranteed for a qualified automotive product. This issue of the commodity horizontal review deliberately selected the popular three sports positioning compact cars, including GAC Honda style, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard and SAIC Volkswagen Skoda Octavia PRO, to see how these compact cars that young people like to see in terms of commerciality. Below, we will conduct a comprehensive comparison of each sub-data to explain it in detail for everyone.
1. Body craft
In the body process, from the test results, the overall advantages of Octavia PRO are more obvious, in the five key test parts, all the test results are ahead of the other two models. Although the gap uniformity of the type is good, the overall value is still high, and the average gap of the test points of "front fenders on both sides - engine cover", "front doors on both sides - rear doors" and "two sides of rear doors - rear fenders" has reached 4.3mm, and the results are very average. The problem of the shadow leopard is mainly reflected in the uniformity of the gap, and the gap values of each part are quite different. Although the average values of the three test points are controlled within 4.0mm, the average test values of the two points of "both sides of the front door - front fender" and "both sides of the front door - rear door" have reached 4.1mm, the consistency performance is still not good enough, there is still room for improvement in workmanship.
In a comprehensive comparison, in a test of body technology, the average gap of the key test points of Octavia PRO is smaller than that of the other two models, and the overall gap uniformity is also very good, and the advantages are very obvious. In contrast, the performance of the type and the shadow leopard is in stark contrast, the former performs well in terms of gap uniformity, while the latter is the overall gap value is low, and most of the test point averages can be controlled within 4.0mm.
2. Paint film level
In the paint film level test, from the test results, the average thickness of the vehicle paint film of the model and the shadow leopard reached the standard value of the advanced car (120μm -150μm), while the performance of the Octavia PRO was even better, and the average thickness of the vehicle paint film was 175.6μm, which even exceeded the standard value of the advanced car (120μm -150μm).
From the test results of the five major parts, it can be seen that the overall performance of the Octavia PRO can be called "thriving", and the average thickness of the paint film of the whole vehicle reaches 175.6μm, exceeding the standard value of the advanced car (120μm -150μm). Of course, the performance of the model and shadow leopard is also remarkable, the average thickness of the whole car paint film is 143.7μm and 133.9μm, respectively, which have reached the standard value of the high-end car (120μm -150μm).
In a comprehensive comparison, in a test of paint film level, the average thickness of the paint film of Octavia PRO is excellent, and the spray uniformity is also good. Although the data measured for the position of the "trunk" is somewhat outrageous, the average value reaches 280 μm, which is quite different from other parts, but the overall appearance is still flawed. On the other hand, the performance of the type and the shadow leopard, although it is not as good as the Octavia PRO in terms of the average thickness of the paint film of the whole vehicle, it also meets the standard value of the advanced car (120μm -150μm). However, in contrast, the type is still significantly better than the shadow leopard in terms of the uniformity of the overall paint film spraying.
3. Air quality in the car
In the in-vehicle air quality test, the formaldehyde component of the three models was not detected, and the test results were in line with the relevant standards in the "Guidelines for The Evaluation of Air Quality in Passenger Cars" (National Standard GB/T 27630-2011) jointly issued by the former Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China since March 1, 2012. Among them, the content of inhalable particulate matter such as PM2.5 measured in the lattice car is significantly lower than that of the other two models, or related to the test environment on the same day.
4. Noise in the car
In the vehicle noise test, in addition to testing the noise of the engine into the car at rest, idle speed, 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm, the test instrument will also be placed at a position of about 10cm from the air conditioner outlet, and then the air conditioning air volume will be raised from small to large, and the air conditioning noise value of the driver position in different gears will be measured.
After actual testing, in the stationary state, all three models reached the minimum value of 30dB of the test instrument. With the increase of the speed, the noise value of all three models has gradually increased, of which the most obvious change is the Shadow Leopard, and the noise value measured when the engine is at 3000 rpm has reached 61.6dB, which is slightly exaggerated. In contrast, the Octavia PRO performed best, with a value of only 55.1dB.
In the air conditioning noise test link, the overall performance of the type is the best, whether it is the lowest or the highest grade, the noise is the lowest of the three models, the test data is in the middle and upper reaches of the same level of the tested models; the performance of the Octavia PRO is acceptable, and in the highest grade, the measured noise is 62.7dB, which is very small; although the air conditioning noise of the Shadow Leopard is high, it is still within the acceptable range, and daily use will not cause too much interference to the human body.
After actual measurement, under idle speed and load state, the vibration values of each test point of the three models are within a reasonable range. Among them, the Shadow Leopard performed the best, even under load, the highest measured value did not exceed 0.4mm/s. The Octavia PRO is close behind, with only the rear right seat slightly higher under load, reaching 0.7mm/s. In contrast, the overall performance of the type is more general, whether in the idling speed or load state, most of the test point test values are 0.4-0.7mm / s, but fortunately the human body perception is not obvious, and will not seriously affect the comfort of the people in the car.
5. Tire hub
In the tire hub test, the tire width, flat ratio and size are mainly evaluated. All three models are equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, in addition to the same width and flat ratio, and the tire specification is 225/45 R18. Since the parameters are consistent, it is natural that there is no way to distinguish between high and low. In terms of tire brands, the model is equipped with Dunlop, the Shadow Leopard is The Giti F22 ADVANZTECH, and the Octavia PRO is the Margis V5S Sport Series.
6. Sunroof
In the test against the skylight, the shadow leopard is equipped with a panoramic canopy, although the lighting area is excellent, but it does not support the opening, which is a little regrettable. Both the profile and the Octavia PRO are equipped with a standard size openable sunroof that combines lighting and ventilation. As for the sunroof area and the openable area, the performance of the Octavia PRO can slightly occupy a certain advantage, but the parameter gap between the two is not obvious.
7. Control system
In terms of acceleration and brake pedal height difference and spacing that affect driving experience, the three models are relatively close, and the step difference and spacing are within a reasonable range. This design prevents the phenomenon of mixing the throttle and brake pedals, and at the same time, in congested road conditions, the frequent alternating pedaling of the driving foot will not fatigue the driver. In addition, in terms of steering wheel adjustment, the up and down adjustable angles of the Octavia PRO and the adjustable distance between the front and back are the widest, compared to the performance of the type and shadow leopard, which is slightly worse, but it can still meet the daily use and does not cause inconvenience to the operation.
8. Seat
In terms of seat configuration, according to the measured data, the main driver seat of the Octavia PRO has the largest range of stroke adjustment, which can meet the driving habits of most drivers.
In terms of cushion length, the shadow leopard's front seat length is the best, reaching 580mm, while the length of the rear seat cushion of the profile is outstanding, at 480mm. Of course, the length of the octavia PRO's cushion is also completely sufficient, which can give the occupants a good support feeling, and the riding comfort performance is within the normal range.
In terms of rear seat back angle, as a compact sedan, the rear seats of all three models do not support backrest angle adjustment. In contrast, the Shadow Leopard's seat back angle is the largest, but the parameters of the model and Octavia PRO are not bad, and the three models are basically at the same level.
In terms of the height and width of the rear floor bulge, the overall performance of the Shadow Leopard once again prevailed, mainly because the height of the bulge was very low, even negligible, so it had the least impact on the comfort of the intermediate passengers. The rear floor of the model and Octavia PRO is raised and the width is also up to 200mm, so it will affect the riding comfort of the intermediate passengers to a certain extent.
9. Trunk
In terms of trunk, from the measured data, due to the use of hatchback tailgate design, the overall performance of Octavia PRO is more prominent, coupled with a good trunk width, practicality is indeed very strong. In contrast, the type and shadow leopard is the traditional sedan design, the trunk size is decent, although it does not have any highlights, but fortunately there are not too many slots, to meet the daily use of the problem is not big.
10. Parking radar
In the radar induction test, according to the existing test data, the front radar of the Octavia PRO can detect the farthest distance, but the nearest distance from the obstacle is 32cm when the continuous beep is 32cm, which is slightly different from the set 25cm experience value. The performance of the shadow leopard is also basically the same, the nearest long-sound distance is 31cm, but its farthest detection distance is only 55cm, and the visible radar power is quite average. Since the model is not equipped with a parking radar, it is not functional, so it is impossible to compare.
In terms of post-radar, the long-pitched distance measured by Shadow Leopard and Octavia PRO is 25cm, which is consistent with the experience point and the overall performance is excellent. In addition, in terms of detection distance, the difference between the two models is only 1cm, and despite the impact of measurement errors, almost no difference is felt in the actual use process.
11. Lighting vision
In the front field of view blind spot test, we used the 70 cm high pile bucket as a reference object, and then adjusted the relative position of the vehicle until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver's seat. According to the existing test data, in terms of the front vision, the performance of the type is far ahead, while the rear vision is the Octavia PRO occupies a greater advantage, and the overall performance of the shadow leopard is decent, and there are no bright spots to be found.
In the field of view test of the exterior mirrors, although none of the three models were equipped with double curvature lenses, the field of view performance was basically in line with expectations, and the overall gap was not large. Among them, the left outer rearview mirror of the Octavia PRO has a wider viewing range, while the Shadow Leopard has a larger viewing range of the right outer rearview mirror. The style is slightly inferior in this section, but it is still at the same level average.
summary
Through the comparison of the above items, it is not difficult to find that SAIC Volkswagen Skoda Octavia PRO has performed quite strongly in terms of body technology and paint film level, and the sound insulation and noise reduction of the whole vehicle has also maintained a high level, and the rigorous and solid car-making process of the German system has been revealed here, which is indeed a good story. Shadow Leopard has made sufficient efforts in vibration control and cushion size, as the only independent brand in this comparison, the overall performance is remarkable, and it basically has the capital to be able to face the joint venture brand model. Although the style does not seem to have a more prominent part, it is balanced and comprehensive, which is a very typical "bucket" product, which makes people unable to pick out any major problems. On the whole, the three models have won and lost each other in the commodity test link, and in general, there is not much gap, and no one is a "look goods". Young sports is the product positioning, personality avant-garde is more of an attitude, it can be said that as a car should have the basic qualities, these three who are not bad performance.
