A car can be installed, the space is bound to be a hard demand for car purchase, which is reflected in the domestic market in the SUV model, and the European market, the most representative may be the station wagon. As a model with SUV-like trunk storage space and sedan handling performance, the station wagon meets the dual needs of dads and travel enthusiasts for space and control, which makes them also have a certain fan base in the domestic market. As a veteran German car company, Volkswagen is very experienced in building station wagons. From the Santana Travel Edition to the R36, it has captured the hearts of many car fans. Recently, Volkswagen has put an imported version of the Arteon SR on the domestic market, as the original model of the Volkswagen CC train loading car, what is the difference between the pure imported Arteon SR and it?
Original = more compartments?
From the appearance alone, the imported version of the Volkswagen Arteon SR is indeed better than the domestic CC hunting car. After all, after the cancellation of the crossover appearance kit on the CC hunting suit and the addition of the R-Line sports kit, the overall shape is closer to the original Ashkenazi station wagon style. Specifically, the new car still uses a large area of horizontal grille and through-led light strips, but the design of the black body side skirt and black wheel eyebrows on the CC hunting car is removed, which looks more sporty. In addition, the "R" logo on the grille, the frameless doors, and the bilateral four-out exhaust decoration at the rear of the car also highlight the distinctive temperament of the new car. However, compared to the surprise of the appearance, the interior of the Arteon SR is still the familiar "taste", and it is no wonder that seeing the interior of one of Volkswagen's cars is equivalent to seeing the interior of all Volkswagen cars.
In addition, space is naturally the strength of the station wagon. The size performance of the Volkswagen Arteon SR is very close to that of the domestic CC hunting car, and the size of all aspects is basically only a few millimeters, and the wheelbase can reach more than 2.8 meters. From the actual riding experience, even if a person with a height of 1 meter 8 sits in the Arteon SR car, there is a lot of head and leg space in the front and rear rows, and the CC hunting car is the same. However, the Arteon SR has a 590L trunk volume, which is better than the domestic CC 524L volume.
Spend nearly 50,000 more, just for an original look?
Perhaps it is precisely because of the "pure" Ashkenazi wagon pedigree that this Volkswagen Arteon SR has not brought much sincerity to domestic consumers. This can be clearly felt from the price alone, its guidance price of 348,000 yuan is even more expensive than the top of the Volkswagen CC hunting car, which is nearly 50,000 yuan. Moreover, although the price is much higher, the Volkswagen Arteon SR is not satisfactory in terms of configuration, basically at the same level as the top of the CC hunting car.
The configuration functions of the two vehicles have a high degree of overlap, such as the electric induction trunk, which is much more convenient for the dads who have empty hands to hold the baby; and the full-speed adaptive cruise, rich safety configuration and driving assistance functions are also of great help in the process of long-distance travel. However, the two cars are slightly different in comfort configuration, although they have leather-wrapped seats and steering wheels, front seat heating and other functions, but the Volkswagen Arteon SR car is equipped with sports-style seats with "R" LOGO, as well as main driver massage, rear heating, while cc hunting car has steering wheel heating, rear privacy glass, on-board air purifier, etc., the comfort of the driver and occupants have their own emphases, but if they can be combined, it is better. Overall comparison, it can be seen that the Volkswagen Arteon SR, which is more than 50,000 yuan higher, has no advantage in configuration, and some of the experience can be felt in the domestic version of the Volkswagen CC hunting car, and even in some places it is not as good as the CC hunting car.
2.0T low power + precursor, not as good as CC 380TSI?
The pricing of the Volkswagen Arteon SR is so much higher, since the configuration has not been much improved, it should always work hard in terms of power, right? However, the answer is no. This new car is still equipped with the EA888 2.0T low-power engine, matching the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the maximum horsepower is 190 horses, the maximum torque is 320N·m, the book data is 4 horsepower higher than the 2.0T low power of the domestic Volkswagen CC hunting car, which is even more unattainable than the 2.0T high power of the domestic CC. Moreover, it uses a front-end drive, which is more emasculated than the overseas high-power and four-wheel drive powertrain. Horsepower is not big enough, and there is no four-wheel drive, itself let the fans call CC hunting car is not addictive, now the imported version of arteon SR not only failed to improve, but the performance is not as good as CC's high-power model, so that the riders disappointed not to say, their own situation will also fall into an embarrassing situation.
However, although the power is not outstanding, the powertrain of the imported Arteon SR is still quite familiar to us, and the probability is still a sensitive adjustment that focuses on low and medium speeds. Switching to sport modes also provides a good driving pleasure for this station wagon that is over 4.86 meters tall. The texture of the chassis is the characteristic of European models, especially arteon as an import status, which deserves our greater expectations here.
In addition, in terms of fuel consumption, Volkswagen Arteon SR in the WLTC standard, fuel consumption of 7.14L / 100km, while CC hunting car in the NEDC standard, low-power and high-efficiency models of fuel consumption are 6.5L, 7L respectively, considering the difference in test conditions of the two standards, perhaps the actual fuel consumption performance of Arteon SR can maintain a level with the domestic CC low-power models.
Write at the end
At the moment of gradual transformation to electrification, Volkswagen has introduced an imported version of arteon SR in the domestic market, which undoubtedly injects a shot of tonic into fans. It's just that this feeling is not "perfect", after all, the higher price, in exchange for the product strength improvement is not obvious. In particular, the existence of the CC hunting edition makes the introduction of Arteon SR slightly embarrassing. If you're also a fan of station wagons, what would you choose? But for mass brands, there are not many of your "cheap" options anyway.
