In the past two years, we have all been trapped by "love".
The arrival of the epidemic has made the cost of travel more and more high. At least, it is not as easy to make up your mind as you used to. Because it is no longer like before, it is often more likely to stimulate the yearning for freedom. So in the last two years, the outdoor trend is growing rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Spring is in full bloom, and there are obviously more camping tents in suburban areas than they were a few years ago.
In the concrete city life, the fast-paced life makes today's young people yearn for the outdoor sun more than ever. On one side is the fast-paced urban life, and on the other side is the inner yearning for freedom. It is necessary to take care of daily life as well as occasional indulgence. Under such a premise, for young people, a small urban SUV is indeed a good choice. In the camp of small urban SUVs, Japanese and Korean SUVs have always been known for their reliability and value, and are favored by young users
So, as a typical representative of kia Aopao, Honda XR-V and Nissan Jinke, how to choose?
Who is younger?
Of the three smallER SUVs, Kia Ao runs are clearly a little younger. At the end of 2019, the Kia Ao run replacement model was officially launched.
As a global model of Kia, the new Kia Aurero continues the design language of the new generation of the Kia family in terms of vehicle design. The overall style of the vehicle is dynamic and stylish, and such a change obviously takes into account the needs of young user groups who care more about appearance.
The Honda XR-V is the longest-running model of the three, and in 2015, the Honda XR-V was officially released at the tail end of the small SUV wave, and subsequently became the leader in small SUVs. However, with the passage of time, the target consumer group of Honda XR-V at that time has already run forty years. There is no doubt that the Honda XR-V is old.
Nissan Jinke's launch time is among the three cars, the new car was officially launched in 2017, and ushered in a small makeover in the second half of last year. In the styling of youthfulness, it can also be seen as the positioning of the three.
As the mainstream compact SUV on the market, all three products use a more stable and smooth combination of naturally aspirated power and CVT gearbox, and the advantages of Japanese and Korean products focusing on space utilization have also been amplified in the three models. However, the commonality is common, and the difference in launch time still makes the three models different in details. As a younger Kia Pride, it is not only more in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young people in terms of appearance design, but also broader than the Honda XR-V and Nissan Jinke in terms of diversity of scenes.
Who is more relaxed?
The biggest difference between urban SUVs and traditional off-road vehicles is that they can be better integrated into urban life scenes. This scene is better to park vehicles in narrow parking spaces, but also to face the congestion of the city's main roads more calmly.
As a younger model, Kia AoPao has done a better job of coping with more frequent urban car scenes – Kia Ao Pao is equipped with the highest L2-level DRIVE WiSE intelligent driver assistance system in its class. The system includes lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist system, active safety system, fatigue driving prompts, 360-degree panoramic imagery, adaptive cruise, etc. Through the synergy of this series of active safety configurations, Kia Ao has the ability to take over the vehicle autonomously under certain conditions, making it easier for drivers to face complex road conditions. For example, in the face of narrow parking spaces in the city, Kia Aopao is equipped with a 360° panoramic image and a blind spot image system on the side of the car, which can display the images around the body on the central control screen, allowing users to clearly see obstacles, avoid collisions, and park vehicles more safely.
The Honda XR-V and Nissan Jinke show the fatigue of the old models in this regard, both of which are only equipped with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping systems, and still need the driver to take over the car completely.
The difference is that when you finish a day's work, Kia Pride can make your driving more relaxed, provide drivers with more tolerance for fault, and reduce the possibility of traffic accidents due to driver fatigue driving. And this possibility is not available on the Honda X-RV and Jinke.
From the perspective of passive safety, Kia Ao also has a more comprehensive passive safety configuration at the same price. For example, the Kia Ao Run 1.5L IVT All-Rounder Edition is equipped with an all-round six-airbag, the Honda XR-V 1.5L CVT Comfort Edition and the Jinke 1.5L CVT flagship version only provide four airbags, and it is clear that kia Ao Run has more advantages.
Who is more fun?
The key to determining outdoor travel in urban SUVs is the powertrain and the driving mode derived from the powertrain.
In terms of power, Kia Ao's entire range is equipped with a Gamma II 1.5L naturally aspirated engine as standard, which is matched with an 8-speed IVT intelligent continuously variable transmission that can simulate the speed. The Honda XR-V and Jinke are also equipped with CVT transmissions, but the Jinke has an analog speed ratio of six speeds, while the XR-V does not have an analog speed ratio.
Kia's power combination ensures the traditional advantages of the CVT transmission smooth and linear, while also taking into account the rapid shifting speed comparable to the AT transmission. At the same time, at the level of power and economy, Kia Aopao also took the balance, from the ministry of industry and information technology released fuel consumption data, Kia Ao run 100 kilometers of comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.4L, Honda XR-V is 6L, Nissan Jinke is 5.6L. And in the actual measurement process, Kia Ao's 100-kilometer fuel consumption can even be as low as 4.06L, fuel economy even exceeds some A-class cars, in this era of rising oil prices, compared to XR-V and Jinke, saving a bag a year is not a problem.
It is worth mentioning that under the action of this power system, Kia Auberge not only provides three conventional driving modes of economy, sport and comfort, but also further expands the three off-road driving modes of snow, mud and sand, with up to six driving mode options, expanding the adaptability of Kia Proud of outdoor scenes.
Compared with the honda XR-V and Nissan Jinke, the three off-road modes added by Kia Pride are based on the large speed ratio and high torque characteristics of the IVT intelligent continuously variable transmission, combined with the working logic of the ESP system. In different modes, Kia Auto automatically adjusts the power output and on-wheel braking force, so that the vehicle has a better ability to get out of trouble in a low-adhesion road environment. On the way to the outdoors, whether it encounters various non-paved roads such as sand, river beaches, or mud, Kia Aopao can provide drivers with more confidence than the Honda XR-V and Jinke, and can also allow users to go to more interesting places. Even in daily use, the emergence of snow mode can also make the Auror better cope with the snow and ice road conditions in winter.
Write at the end
A more stylish appearance, diverse scene adaptability, lower fuel consumption, rich convenience configuration and comprehensive driver assistance features are the biggest advantages of Kia Ao Run over honda XR-V and Nissan Jinke. All this stems from Kia's deep insight into the needs of young people's cars today. With the industry's leading technology precipitation and the technology concept of advancing with the times, Kia focuses on creating a full range of advantages such as high value, high safety and low fuel consumption on the basis of insight into market demand, and spares no effort to meet the diversified car needs of young people, thus creating more possibilities for young people's lives. Definitely the best solution for young people's urban SUVs.
