Intending to buy more than 300,000 SUV, the first thing that comes to mind is the luxury medium-sized SUV under the BBA, Audi Q5L, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC can be considered, but more than 300,000 can only buy low-power models of BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GRC, and Audi Q5L can buy high-power models. After a series of comparisons, the Audi Q5L and Mercedes-Benz GRC were excluded, and the Audi Q5L could not be accepted, because I was really not interested in its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, I could not accept the Mercedes-Benz GLC, because I was not interested in its engine noise and lazy chassis texture, and the only thing left was the BMW X3.
Does the BMW X3 have drawbacks? Before the test drive, I knew that its rear space is small, not even as good as its "little brother" - BMW X1 rear space is large, in the domestic time, in order to ensure the original handling feeling and driving texture, BMW X3 did not lengthen, of course, this is BMW's rhetoric, in my opinion, even BMW X1 and BMW X5 after domestic production have been extended, BMW does not pay attention to the so-called driving texture, it pays attention to only sales and profits. BMW X3 did not lengthen the reason, I am so pondered, may be it is in a hurry to go public, too late to extend, after all, "lengthening" is a systematic science, can not be implemented in a short period of time, want to launch a new car in a short period of time, the original introduction of the highest efficiency.
How about the BMW X3? The ruler is shorter, the inch is longer. It "sacrificed" the rear space in exchange for an excellent dynamic experience, and there is no doubt that the chassis texture of the BMW X3 is the best of the BBA's three medium-sized SUVs, the chassis is tight and tough, although the comfort is poor, it is very strong in terms of handling, and the speed is still good stability, which can give the driver enough confidence. Its steering wheel is precisely pointed, the virtual position is very small, the front posture is consistent with the steering height of the steering wheel, and the body follow-up is also good. Powered, I test-drove the 30i model, with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 252 hp and a peak torque of 350 Nm, which is more than enough for this car.
Many people praise the 8AT gearbox provided by ZF, but I always feel that its smoothness needs to be improved, especially when changing gears at low speeds, it is often accompanied by a certain sense of frustration and drag, and the power experience is not smooth, but it is also within the acceptable range.
Just when I was considering whether to buy BMW X3, my friend recommended the ideal ONE to me, he said that the current new energy vehicle is the future trend, and more than 300,000 can only buy a luxury brand of medium-sized SUVs, and the same price can buy the ideal ONE as a medium-sized SUV. I still have a grudge against new energy vehicles, I think it will throw itself on the road after it runs out of power, and the charging is slow, although the cost of the car is low, the convenience of using it is not as efficient as refueling. Friends said that the ideal ONE is not a pure electric SUV, but a range extender car, can be charged, and does not rely on charging facilities, it can be replenished by refueling and charging, pure electric mode can last 188km, full fuel can last 1080km, you only use electricity when driving in the city, 188km is enough, you can save the cost of the car, you can open the extender when running long distances, and you are not afraid of leaving yourself on the halfway after the car runs out of power, it can refuel. You know, the ideal ONE delivered 11,034 cars in March, and a total of 31,716 cars delivered in January-March this year, making it the best-selling high-end medium-sized SUV. To be honest, after hearing my friend's words, I was moved.
Rather than acting, I decided to go to the store for a test drive. So, how about the ideal ONE opens? Although its body size is very large, the length is more than 5 meters, the wheelbase is nearly 3 meters, but it does not have a "big car" feeling when driving, and it is very brisk and flexible overall, just like Hong Jinbao, a "flexible fat man". The chassis is not as sporty as the BMW X3, but it can be both comfortable and still very stable to drive. Steering wheel steering feel light, even if female consumers do not have to drive up effortlessly, the unity of the body posture and steering wheel is also very strong, feeling, its chassis suspension is not pulled by bmw X3 a big gap, even small to ordinary users difficult to detect, or very good.
In terms of power, the ideal ONE is equipped with a front and rear dual motor + electric four-wheel drive system, the chassis suspension can also be soft and hard adjustment, and its strength is closer to the luxury brand of medium and large SUV. The maximum power of the system is 333 horsepower, the maximum torque of the system is 455 Nm, 6.5 seconds can complete 0-100km/h acceleration, and bmw X3 25i is 8.9 meters to break the hundred, the ideal ONE power performance is more like a 3.0T six-cylinder engine, the price of 349,800 yuan can also be accepted, and the balance in my heart begins to tilt towards the ideal ONE.
In terms of space, the ideal ONE adopts a 6-seat layout of 2+2+2, and the space is still very spacious. After the test drive bmw X3, and then test drive the ideal ONE, finally found the gap between the German car and the domestic car, if the German car interpretation is worth the money, the domestic car is the value for money, can buy the strength of the luxury brand medium SUV at the price of the product that can be comparable to the luxury medium and large SUV, or very good.
