Are three overlooked joint venture SUVs with a budget of about 200,000 worth buying?

In the domestic automobile market, the greatest survival pressure may be 200,000-level joint venture SUVs, which must face the step-by-step pressure of independent brands, but also bear the blow of luxury brands, and suffer from the enemy in the belly, and only a few cars can maintain monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles. For most models struggling with sales, even if the competition is difficult, it is necessary to face the difficulties. In the past March, there were 3 slightly unpopular 200,000-level joint venture SUVs listed, who has a better chance to get out of the sales dilemma? Let's take a look.

Changan Mazda CX-5 2022 model

The Changan Mazda CX-5 is a conventional SUV that will perform better in terms of space and be more practical than the crossover CX-4. As a small revamp of the year, the body shape of the CX-5 has not changed significantly, but the new headlight light group design is adopted, the double L-shaped daytime running lights replace the former Eagle Eye design, and the taillight shape also adopts a design that echoes it, the visual effect is still very prominent, but for the "horse powder", it may take some time to adapt.

The interior part has also not been greatly changed, and the minimalist style makes it difficult to associate it with a sense of technology and luxury. But then again, the practicality of the interior configuration is still good, the 10.25-inch central control touch screen supports CarPlay and CarLife functions, the system interface is relatively simple, easy to get started, below is the commonly used physical buttons and knobs, easy to use, and the texture and workmanship of the materials are relatively excellent. Spatial performance may not be outstanding in the same level, but it has also been able to meet most of the needs of ordinary people's life scenes.

Finally looking at the power, Mazda CX-5 still uses the original 2.0L and 2.5L self-priming two engines, the maximum power is 155 horsepower and 196 horsepower, and the matching is a 6AT gearbox, the parameters are not outstanding, but everyone knows that Mazda is most fascinating is its excellent tuning skills. The power output is smooth and linear, and it can match the driver's intentions and enhance the "human-vehicle interaction" experience. The guidance price of the 2022 model is 175,800-236,800 yuan, of which the top model is a four-wheel drive model, and the overall price is lower than that of the 2021 model, and the whole series has a discount of more than 10,000 yuan, and the cost performance is still good.

Skoda Kodiak 2022

Skoda Kodiak is positioned as a mid-size SUV, but from the perspective of the 4698mm length, it seems to be closer to the compact SUV, from another point of view, perhaps out of the consideration of misplaced competition, after all, the price is still in line with the compact joint venture SUV. The appearance of the new model adopts the design style of the RS model of the European market, first of all, the size of the grille has been increased, and the split headlights with blackening treatment have added a more sporty atmosphere. The taillights at the rear of the car are more slender, and the geometric stitching of the interior details are still very recognizable.

In terms of interior, Kodiak uses a 10.25-inch full LCD meter and a 12-inch central control large screen, which looks like a greatly improved sense of technology and is also a way to cater to the trend of digital development. The use of a variety of leather materials makes the overall sense of luxury in the interior improved. If you look at Kodiak from the perspective of relegation, the interior space performance is still relatively good, the wheelbase of 2791mm can create a relatively spacious rear space, but the 7-seat version is not practical, and the 4-meter 7 captain crammed under 7 seats, without actual measurement, you can imagine how crowded it will be.

Kodiak is equipped with a 2.0T engine, except for the top model of the 220 hp high-power four-wheel drive version, the rest are 186 hp low-power two-wheel drive version, matched with a 7-speed wet double clutch transmission, the power performance is remarkable, the driving texture is still a calm German style. The guidance price of the 2022 Kodiak is 186,900-24.39 million yuan, which is basically close to the old model, but there is basically no discount at present, and if you want to start, you can wait and see the price change for a period of time.

GAC Mitsubishi Artucko 2022 model

The domestic new energy vehicle market is in full swing, and GAC Mitsubishi has finally caught up with the "last train" and released a new pure electric SUV - Atuka. Artuco does not adopt the same closed front face design, the boxy shape of the front is quite a bit of hard temperament, double C-type chrome decoration plus split headlights design, with a strong sense of technology and fashion. The rear shape of the car is relatively solid, in line with the overall design style, and the Y-shaped taillights have strong recognition.

The interior part is in line with the trend, using two 12.3-inch full LCD screens, and there are no extra physical buttons on the center console except for the start button, which looks very neat. The electronic gear shift mechanism adopts the knob type, highlighting the sense of luxury, and the damping sense is also relatively good. The pure electric platform is very helpful for improving the utilization of the space in the car, Artukao has a wheelbase of 2830mm, the rear space is excellent, the floor is almost flat, and the comfort of the passengers in the middle of the rear row can also be guaranteed.

Artuka is equipped with an electric motor with a total power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, which is roughly similar to the mainstream 2.0T engine, and there is no need to worry about power performance. At present, two models have been released, namely the lithium iron phosphate version with a cruising range of 500 km and the lithium ternary version with a cruising range of 520 km. The former is priced at 199,800 yuan, the latter is 229,800 yuan, in addition to the difference in battery packs, the latter has better performance in terms of active and passive safety and comfort configuration, and is a more cost-effective choice.

The above three models do not have outstanding advantages in terms of brand power, can only be combined with their own product strength and price positioning analysis, which car do you think has the best chance to make a breakthrough in sales? From a price point of view, the Mazda CX-5 may be the most cost-effective choice at present. (Text/UVIS Auto Ride)
