My original car is Volkswagen Bora, which is a compact family car, although it does not have strong power, but the driving sense is still smooth, the chassis driving texture is stable, before the birth of the second treasure, I did not have any dissatisfaction with it, but with the advent of the second child, The space of Bora appears to be more and more cramped, so I consulted with my wife, replaced an SUV, budget 300,000, looked at Tiguan L, Hyundai Shengda, also looked at Honda Guandao, also looked at Toyota Highlander and Ford Ruijie, comprehensive factors, Eventually, the target models were locked in the Toyota Highlander and Ford Sharp Boundary.
Toyota Highlander
Toyota Highlander, it is a world famous car, whether in China, or in Europe and the United States, Highlander's status is unshakable, everyone is scrambling to buy it, maybe Toyota Highlander is too hot, which also led to Toyota once had a lack of production capacity, helplessly, 4S shop decided to increase the price to buy a car, and now 2.0T + 6AT version of Highlander, it is estimated to increase the price of 5000 yuan to mention the car. After the mark-up, how cost-effective is Highlander? I believe that everyone already has the answer in mind, the beggar version of 2.0T+6AT Highlander, the official guidance price of 258,800, the landing price is close to 300,000, although within the budget range, but the purchase of this car, always feel as if it is pit by a small Japanese child.
300,000 budget, in fact, you can also buy a weak hybrid double engine version of highlander, although Toyota has a very good dual engine hybrid system, but Chinese consumers are not cold to it, forced by sales restrictions, Toyota can only reduce the price to sell, but the price reduction is very limited, the discount of about 6,000 yuan, the dual engine version of highlander, 300,000 budget can be done. The only thing that pleases me is that the Highlander Dual Engine model has a low fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km, and its fuel economy can be called "second to none" for medium and large SUV!
To tell the truth, toyota Highlander space is still very powerful, 2021 Highlander, 2.0T + 6AT powertrain, length, width and height of 4890 * 1925 * 1715mm, vehicle wheelbase of 2790mm, I am 1 meter 8 tall, after sitting in it, I feel - empty, for me who has a second child family, I can definitely meet the needs. Kids love to stand in the car when driving, and Highlander's space can meet such demanding requirements. The latest model 2022 Highlander, its space is more excellent, the length, width and height of 4965 * 1930 * 1750mm, the vehicle wheelbase of 2850mm, nearly 5 meters long body, but also let the owner have a "mobile house" feeling.
Ford Sharp Boundary
Highlander this car is very good, but unfortunately its price is too high, take a look at the same level of Ford Sharp. Ford Ruijie is an American SUV, although the sales of this car in China are not good, but in Europe and the United States, it is still a god-like existence, solid and tough appearance, attracting a large number of off-road enthusiasts.
Ford Ruijie matched is 2.0T+8AT powertrain, compared to Toyota's 2.0T+6AT, its advantages are significant, first of all, the engine parameters, although it is the same displacement, but the maximum torque of the Ford 2.0T engine is 390Nm, the maximum power is 245Ps, and the maximum torque of the Toyota 2.0T engine is 350Nm, the maximum power is 220Ps, and the 8AT transmission matched by the Ruijie is Ford's own research and development, its own production, Although the transmission's reputation is not as loud as the Aisin 6AT transmission, the 8AT transmission has a large number of gears, and the difference in the gear ratio between the various gears is very small, which also leads to a very smooth shifting feeling of the transmission.
To be honest, as far as mechanical quality is concerned, I don't think that The Ford Sharp Circle is worse than the Toyota Highlander, Ford has a hundred years of experience in car manufacturing, it is also a car company that wants technology and ability, in terms of vehicle driving texture, Ford can be measured by "solid and stable", not throwing around, high speed is not fluttering, and the vehicle driving texture is thick.
About the Ford Ruijie, the most exciting thing for me is its price, Ford Ruijie has a relatively high discount, Toyota Highlander 2.0T to increase the price to buy, and Ford Ruijie 2.0T discount up to 15,000 yuan, if you are not very high on the configuration requirements of the vehicle, 240,000 can be taken, this car is not very fragrant? In the face of absolute price advantage, Ford Sharp Circle makes me irresistible.
As far as the Ford Sharp Edge and Toyota Highlander are concerned, which one do you prefer? Welcome to leave a comment!
