With the maturity of the domestic automobile market and the upgrading of consumption, SUV models are becoming more and more popular among home users with their more spacious and comfortable space and ability to meet diversified travel. Especially in the compact SUV market with a price range of 120,000 to 180,000, due to the huge total market volume, various companies have deployed heavy models, and the competition is particularly fierce. The compact SUV models on the market can be described as dazzling, so that consumers continue to be in a state of "difficulty in choosing", the author has long been concerned about SUV models, from the market to select the two most cost-effective models, namely Beijing Hyundai's new ix35 and Nissan's new Qashqai, to do a simple comparison and analysis of the two, hoping to learn from the netizens to choose a car.
Space: The first factor to consider in SUV models
The reason for choosing the SUV model is largely due to the higher requirements for space, so the first thing we compare is the space size of the two models. The new Qashqai has a length, width and height of 4401/1837/1593mm and a wheelbase of 2646mm, which is already very good as a 5-door, 5-seat SUV model, and the space utilization rate is very high. Looking at the new ix35 of Beijing Hyundai, its length, width and height are 4500/1850/1715mm, and the wheelbase is 2640mm, which can be seen that the new ix35 is slightly better in terms of the size of the vehicle, and the gap is only reflected in the wheelbase of 6mm. In the actual use process, the wheelbase directly affects the rear legroom, of course, the space will also be affected by the width of the rear seats, so the wheelbase difference below 10mm is almost negligible.
Combined with the data of the two models, the new ix35 has obvious advantages, and due to the different influences of the model space design and the adjustment of each person's driving seat, it is difficult to strictly refine the comparison in space, which personally suggests that consumers can experience it on the spot in the special store, after all, in terms of space, comfort is the most important.
Intelligence: The just needs of drivers in the era of intelligence
As the saying goes, at home rely on parents to rely on friends outside, when we drive outside, a good car is naturally our "friend", the configuration of the car often determines our driving mood and experience. The new generation of Qashqai adopts a new audio-visual interaction system, equipped with a 9-inch touch central control screen and an optional 10.8-inch head-up display, because the central control screen adopts a relatively traditional suspension design, the size of 9 inches is basically the acceptable limit, so there is less visual impact in actual use.
The new ix35 adopts a 10.4-inch car multimedia system, with a high-definition (960 * 1280) vertical screen display, as well as a 7-inch color dashboard, its full-touch large-size HD screen integrates the control functions of the traditional central control area such as air conditioning and audio, which further simplifies the layout of the center console and enhances the overall sense of technology of the interior modeling. At the same time, the new ix35 is also equipped with mobile phone interconnection, automatic air conditioning, BLE Bluetooth key, automatic headlights and other practical functions, these configurations are not available to Qashqai, and this Beijing Hyundai's new ix35 can be said to have a qualitative leap compared with the past, but also fully understand the current consumer car needs, it is not surprising that it has become a "hit" for a while.
In addition, in the level of intelligent driving assistance, the new ix35 is equipped with the unique NSCCDRMBVMDAWHBA function of the same class, while the Qashqai's ADAS function is equipped with a total of 12 items, which is 5 less than the new ix35. In particular, the four functions of navigation intelligent cruise system, rear image display system, blind spot display system, and driver attention reminder are not available to Qashqai, so from a safety point of view, the new ix35 can be described as full of sincerity. In terms of intelligent technology configuration, the new ix35 can be said to be the ultimate cost performance of Korean cars, under the same value, the new ix35 is undoubtedly the highest configuration, the most complete, which can be said to be the victory Qashqai.
Power: The essential duel of the vehicle
After a brief comparison between the outside and the heart, the next thing is the power and fuel consumption that the majority of car owners are most concerned about. Let's start with the new Qashqai, which is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and A CVT continuously variable transmission with a maximum power of 111 kW and a maximum torque of 194 Nm. Beijing Hyundai's new ix35 is equipped with a Kappa 1.4T high-power engine + 7DCT transmission, the engine is equipped with EWGA turbocharging, exhaust manifold integrated cylinder head and many other advanced technologies, the maximum power is 103 kilowatts, the maximum torque is 242 Nm.
It is not difficult to see that the new Qashqai performs better in terms of power, but in terms of torque, the new Qashqai is 48 Nm less than the new ix35, as we all know, the greater the power means the faster the speed of the vehicle, and the higher the torque means that the speed of the vehicle is faster, but in the driving environment of mostly urban roads, the role of power and torque are significantly more important than the actual significance of the latter, and when driving on complex roads in the suburbs, especially in muddy road sections, large torque is obviously more effective, which the new ix35 wins.
It should be added that in addition to the outstanding 1.4T engine, the new ix35 also has a 2.0L self-priming engine, the maximum power is 111kW, the maximum torque is 196N·m, which is almost exactly the same as the new Qashqai in terms of data, but the price of ix35 has dropped to more than 120,000, compared with the terminal price of more than 150,000 for the new Qashqai, it can be said that the price is more beautiful.
After the in-depth analysis of the two cars, I believe that you already have the answer in your hearts, there is no perfect car in the world, just like there is no perfect person in the world, the two explosive models have advantages and disadvantages, it can be said that the benevolent people see the wisdom, if you belong to the conservatives, you may wish to consider the new Qashqai, and if you are the pursuit of large space, strong power and new interior consumers, then the new ix35 is more suitable, and ix35's current biggest advantage can be summarized as the same price, higher configuration; the same configuration, lower price, in short, The best choice is what suits you.
