Luxury brand mid-size cars can land 210,000, don't worry about your Camry

Our view of the Camry has always been that "the car is really good, but the price is a little too high compared to other brands of the same class". Take the 2.5L version with 209 horsepower as an example, its starting price is 219,800, plus a discount of 5,000 yuan, and the final landing price is around 240,000.

If you set the time back two years, the 2019 Camry dealer will give you a symbolic 100 yuan discount at most, and the pick-up will have to wait another three months.

However, many luxury brand mid-size cars have a landing price of less than 240,000, don't worry about your 207-horse Camry.

Dongfeng Infiniti Q50L

Manufacturer guidance price: 26.48 ~ 389,800

Terminal discount: 70,000 to 78,000

Wheelbase: 2898mm

Powertrain: 2.0T (211Ps) + 7AT

Generally, we use the guidance price is the landing price to describe the discount of a car, but before the Infiniti Q50L 70,000 yuan discount, this range is obviously pediatric. I have seen 186,800 Q50L on the auto trade platform, plus 16,000 taxes and 6,000 yuan of insurance, and its landing price is only 210,000.

However, compared with the minimum configuration of 186,800, we recommend the sub-low configuration of the naked car price of about 220,000, more LED headlights, headlight cleaning, front and rear parking radar and other configurations than the low configuration, the wheel hub has also been upgraded to 19 inches, and the tires have reached 245 widths. Another thing that needs to be mentioned is that the BOSE sound of this 16-speaker set on the Q50L is relatively "stuffy", and there is no need to upgrade at all.

From 2012 to 2017, Nissan and Daimler had a very close relationship, jointly creating the MFA2 platform, and the Q50L was built on this platform, using the 2.0T engine code-named M274A on Mercedes-Benz. Yes, under the beautiful case of the Q50L, it is actually the previous generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class. And Infiniti also upgraded the front suspension of the Q50L to a double wishbone, which inhibits the roll better.

However, it should be noted that due to cost and the reasons for cooperation between the two sides, Nissan's MFA2 platform model has not been upgraded subsequently. That is to say, since its listing in 2014, infiniti Q50L has not been replaced, just from the appearance, this set of design language is very outstanding even now, but inside the car, you can clearly see that this is a model from 8 years ago, it even has a dual-disc CD player. The CD player and CarPlay appeared on the same car at the same time, which was really magical.

From the driving point of view, as a 211-horsepower longitudinal rear-drive car, the power is naturally needless to say, but this from the Mercedes-Benz 7AT gearbox performance is average, mainly the setback is more obvious, can only say that a penny a penny. In addition, the Q50L parking brake is a foot brake, which may be felt by some consumers as less "advanced".

By the way, the Q50L's sound can simulate the sound wave of the GTR.

DS 9

Manufacturer guidance price: 25.49 ~ 344,900

Terminal discount: 8 to 100,000

Wheelbase: 2895mm

Powertrain: 1.6T (215Ps) + 8AT

Before citroën Versailles C5 X, our understanding of PSA Group models was "must buy high match", which is also true on the DS9, and the top "Opera" version with a guidance price of 344,900 is the most cost-effective version, which is also the best-selling configuration of the DS9. However, although the DS does not even have an annual sales volume of 2,000 units, the top of the DS9 does not have a discount, and the landing price goes straight to 400,000, which is enough to match the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

However, the lowest and lower Montmartre and Montmartre aggressive versions have a 6.8% discount, and such a fragmented market can only be seen in the French car with clear ideas.

When the price comes to 190,000, the Montmartre Aggressive Edition is very, very cost-effective, and its landing price is just over 210,000. As for the lowest version of Montmartre, some car dealers' inventory cars even give a price of 160,000, but the configuration is really too low and not very recommended.

Compared to the Opera version, the Montmartre Aggressive edition reduced the 19-inch wheels to 18 inches, and the wrapping material in the car was replaced by faux leather. The front and rear double-layer noise-reducing glass, the B.R.M R 180-degree electric flip clock, the 14-speaker FOCAL ELECTRA sound, and Citroën's proud magic carpet adaptive suspension have all been reduced.

But even so, the 210,000 landing DS9 Montmartre Aggressive Edition is better and more cost-effective than the Japanese mid-size car at this price point, whether it is the power level or the interior workmanship.

Cadillac CT4

Manufacturer guidance price: 23.97 ~ 259,700

Terminal discount: 40,000 to 50,000

Wheelbase: 2775mm

Powertrain: 2.0T (237Ps) + 8AT

Although the Internet is rumored to be "20% off the tiger and 70% off the leopard, 60% off old Wo to find someone to want, 50% off Kaidi stealing laughter" paragraph, but such a discount only exists in the implementation of the national six in this specific period, taking this Cadillac CT4 as an example, it is even the smallest discount among the three cars today.

At present, CT4 can only give a maximum of 50,000 yuan of discounts, but it should be noted that although the guidance price of low and medium allocation is 11,000, and the difference between medium and high is 0.8 million, the naked car price of the three configurations after the discount is only 5,000 yuan, so the high-end premium type with a bare car price of 215,000 is the most cost-effective configuration.

Compared with the low-end, 10,000 extra 18-inch tires can be obtained for 235 widths, 14-way adjustable main passenger seat leather seats, 14-speaker BOSE sound, and monochrome mood lights that are not embarrassed to be called "bath king". As for the automatic folding of the rearview mirrors, comfort features such as induction wipers have also been arranged.

However, it should be noted that the CT4 as a longitudinal engine rear-drive car, coupled with the wheelbase is only a pitiful 2775mm, its space is not to say and Camry, even toyota A+ class sedan Asiatic Lion is not comparable. Therefore, this car is more suitable for young people who like sports models to drive.

In fact, it is also true, CT4 can be said to be the only longitudinal rear-drive, front and rear 50:50 weight of luxury brand sedan, its sense of sport is better than the higher level of CT5, it can even drift, BMW 1 Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class These transverse front-drive are "brother in brother".

The only regret is that this 8AT gearbox is very slow to downshift speed during the schedule, but in sports mode the floor oil activates the "performance shift", and this gearbox is very smart. It can only be said that the hardware condition of this gearbox is good, and cadillac's tuning should "carry the cauldron".
