Frankly, at similar prices, the sedan has control characteristics that are difficult for ordinary SUVs to match. On the contrary, even a very ordinary SUV is incomparable to its sedans in terms of passability and interior space. However, when faced with the problem of multi-person ride-sharing, even an SUV with 7 seats seems to be a bit helpless. At this time, the MPV, which is disliked by many people, shows its strong strength.
Yes, at the price of 300,000, the most difficult to avoid is the veteran like Buick GL8, whether it is the channel, the terminal price, the software and hardware quality of the model itself, it is difficult for consumers to resist. And the new Toyota Saina is also a player that is difficult to ignore. So, are there any more affordable options in terms of price? Perhaps Alisson from Honda, Kahua from Kia and GAC Trumpchi M8 can interpret this question.
Honda Ellison
Guidance price: 279,800-331,800 yuan
Among the many MPV models, Alexand is definitely a veteran. Perhaps from the perspective of model level, body size and market share, Alishen cannot be compared with players like GL8, but Alishen still has an insignificant position in the hearts of consumers, and the exaggerated second-hand car retention rate is also the capital that Alishen can compete with such a big guy as GL8.
From the design point of view, the redesigned Alexand seems to be more in line with the preferences of young car consumers in appearance. Whether it is a larger area of the middle network or a richer blackening element, it is like a kind of temptation and catering to the young car consumer group. The headlights on both sides are sharp enough, and the design of the all-LED light source is thick enough.
As for the side, in fact, the change is not large, for an MPV model that is known for its space, it is difficult to have a huge change in the line of the side of the vehicle, and even the style of the rim is not very aggressive. However, in the tail, Alexon's change is prominent enough, and like his fellow disciple Odyssey, he uses a novel shape of transverse chrome trim to connect the factory emblem and the taillights on both sides into one, and from the perspective of body shape, the slightly "petite" Alisson will be more comfortable in entering and exiting the parking garage of the narrow community with the aisle.
In addition, the changes in the interior of Alexand are obvious enough. The quaint central control layout that was once spurned is no longer seen, and instead, a more stylish and innovative interior design style is replaced. Whether it is the three-frame steering wheel with full grip, the suspended central control screen, the air outlet of the air conditioner similar to the horizontal type, and the air conditioning control area full of electronic flavor, they all exude the smell of fashion trends. However, the 360° panoramic image quality of the central control is somewhat "touching", and its picture even has a clear "sense of patchwork". This is also the "ancestral operation" of many Japanese car companies.
As for the seat's ride performance, perhaps Alexand can't compete head-on with those MPV who are known for their size. But the soft and wide second row of seats is still a lot of fun. Even in the third row, it can show a certain degree of comfort, so even if there is a need for long-distance travel of more than 300 kilometers, Alissen can easily complete the task.
In the powertrain segment, all Alexand currently on sale use hybrid drive units. In combination with a 2.0L+ motor and an E-CVT, a maximum system power of 158 kW can be achieved. Unlike the common hybrid system on the market, the traditional multi-gear transmission does not appear in this i-MMD hybrid system. Instead, multiple sets of clutches are used to achieve coupling and decoupling of the power system under different operating conditions.
In the design idea of the hybrid system, the i-MMD system on The Alexand is also simple and rude, and it is completely uncompromising to the Toyota THS hybrid structure on the Race. At medium and low speeds, it is mainly driven by an electric motor, at which point the engine acts as a range extender. In the medium and high-speed state, the engine uses a direct drive to drive the wheels. As for the cons? Of course, one of them is the life attenuation problem caused by the high-frequency charging and discharging of lithium batteries, and Ai Lishen, who relies too much on the motor, is also slightly weak in the re-acceleration performance at high speed. However, it is still that sentence, if you want to save fuel, you can choose AliShen without a brain.
Kia Jawa
Guidance price: 288,900-339,900 yuan
Ka Wah is also a rising star in the MPV market. Getting rid of the shackles of traditional MPV, using a long front head + tough body line to get rid of the "harmless" visual sense of the MPV in the past, the lower price of the Buick GL8 and Toyota Syna also brings more imagination.
From the appearance point of view, It seems that Jiahua does not "go along with the current rounded MPV". Whether it's the iconic large-mouth grille and the rich trapezoidal chrome embellishments inside, or the delicate headlamp sets on both sides, kia designers are unique in their design.
On the side, it is not difficult to find that the wheelbase of Jawa is particularly exaggerated, and the wheelbase of 3090 mm can completely ignore many opponents, so there is no need to worry at the spatial level. The angular design ideas also make Ka Wah's figure look quite symmetrical. As for the tail, the through-led taillights are indispensable. And why do you want to say that The Ka Wah is shaped like an SUV? Of course, it is for safety, after all, a longer front can also bring more collision buffer space.
In the interior part, it may be more appropriate to describe it with a warm home but without losing fashion. Consumers can see both the exquisite steering wheel, the stylish double screen, the electronic air conditioning adjustment system and the knob gear handle, as well as the transverse air conditioning outlet and the beige and gray interior matching. In addition, L2+ driver assistance functions can also be seen on Jawa, so it is still easy to walk around the city.
As for the seat's ride, it may be more appropriate to describe it as "against the sky". Under the exaggerated wheelbase, after adjusting the second row of seats, it is even possible to achieve a "lying flat" sitting posture, and among many MPV, it is rare to have such a performance. As for the third row, naturally there is no need to worry. Of course, the ride feel cannot be compared with the second row, and the thick cushion does not have the "bench" riding feeling at all.
At the power system level, Ka Wah is not as arrogant as the overseas 3.5L V6+8AT, but the power combination of 2.0T+8AT is also thick, perhaps there is not much electrification on the Jawa, but the maximum power of 233 horsepower and 353 Nm peak torque can easily meet 90% of the buyer's daily use needs. The addition of CVVD technology can also enable this engine to achieve a compression ratio of 4:1 ~ 10.5:1 switch freely, taking into account fuel economy and power output, but the weak brand appeal still affects its subsequent residual performance.
GAC Trumpchi M8
Guidance price: 179,800-369,800 yuan
Yes, in the domestic low-end MPV market, independent brand products do firmly grasp the market share. In the field of high-end MPV, there are almost few independent brand products that can be obtained. In appearance, toyota Alpha's rather god-like Trumpchi M8 has brought a turnaround for things.
Among the three cars, it must be the most domineering appearance, or the Trumpchi M8. Whether it is the oversized straight waterfall grille in front of the face, or the fierce matrix LED headlights on both sides, they have swept away the greasy and moderate temperament of the past MPV.
The shape of the sides and tail is also quite innovative, and the suspension roof with the tough waist line and the multi-width rim highlight the pursuit of the factory price at the design level. The Michelin Wheel Haoyue tire also ensures the driving comfort of the Trumpchi M8. As for the tail, the through-led taillights are indispensable.
From an interior point of view, the Trumpchi M8 did not choose an avant-garde interior design. Whether it is a wide steering wheel, a delicate LCD instrument, an embedded central control screen and an electronic gear handle below, the details and aura are in place. Compared with toyota Elphar's old-fashioned interior and the "auto parts city" flavor of the central control, Trumpchi M8 is still very sincere.
In the face of the 3000 mm wheelbase, the performance of the trumpchi M8 second row seats is also not to worry. The thick padding and wide seats also provide a ride that is almost flush with the aviation first class seats. The third row of seats is no exception, and the full padding can also bring a good riding experience. Therefore, even in the case of full load travel, the comfort of the Trumpchi M8 does not have to worry.
At the power system level, the Trumpchi M8 also uses a 2.0T turbocharged engine, whether it is a maximum power of 252 horsepower or a peak torque of 390 Nm, it has the meaning of challenging the big guys of the same level. The feeling of the 8AT gearbox being tightly shifted is by no means comparable to that of the ordinary 6AT. As for the cons? Maybe it's fuel economy. However, from the overall point of view, this set of 2.0T+8AT is still very confident. At least let independent brands such as Trumpchi M8 get rid of the spell of "configuration stacking". In addition, the retention rate of Trumpchi M8 is still a problem, after all, word of mouth cannot be cultivated overnight.
Write at the end:
In the MPV market, consumers really can't avoid players like the Buick GL8, in addition to having excellent shape and interior design, in terms of technology configuration and mechanical literacy, the Buick GL8 is also difficult to refuse. However, it is not unavoidable that Honda Alisson, which has excellent fuel economy, and Jiahua, which has taken off in appearance and space, and Trumpchi M8, which is almost invincible in terms of design and configuration. If you want to ask me how to choose, I will like AliShen more, after all, in the era of oil prices of 8 yuan +, no one will be able to pass the word "fuel saving".
Of course, from the perspective of brand appeal, Toyota Xena can not be ignored. Whether it is the ownership of a large number of brand car series or excellent fuel economy, it seems that some "people are not good". However, the high transaction price on the dealer side is also an indisputable fact. Therefore, whether it is Ai Lishen from Honda, or Kia's Kahua and GAC Trumpchi M8, which is known as an independent bearer, it can become an excellent choice in the 300,000 price range in addition to the Buick GL8 and Toyota Xena. So the question is, as a consumer, who will be your best choice?
