I believe that many people have their own luxury car dreams, not only can commute to work, meet the travel of the family, but also have face when driving out. However, if there is a budget of about 350,000 to 400,000, want to buy a luxury SUV, perhaps many people first think of the BBA, such as Mercedes-Benz GRC, huge car logo, luxurious interior, whether from the experience, or from the spirit, can bring great satisfaction. However, the current new forces of domestic car manufacturing, can be described as a sudden rise, the same to create a lot of luxury models, such as the ideal ONE to be introduced today, it is not only larger than the Mercedes-Benz GLC space, more comfortable, more luxurious, and the price is also lower, perhaps many netizens do not believe, is the development of independent brands in just a few years, can already call Mercedes-Benz? Don't say, really! If you don't believe me, please see the detailed comparison below.
Comparison models: 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC remodeled three 260L 4MATIC dynamic type (guide price 406,300 yuan) VS2021 ideal ONE basic model (guide price 349,800 yuan) (Note: Although the two models are different in class, but the price is similar, so, it can be compared)
First of all, from the appearance point of view, the visual impact of the front face of the Mercedes-Benz GLC is strong, while the entire body performance is rounded and full, and it looks more approachable. For the front face of the ideal ONE, there is a kind of British style noble temperament, which looks very calm and gentlemanly, and the overall shape is flat and stable, which is very aura.
In terms of size, the Mercedes-Benz GRC three-dimensional performance is: 4764mm * 1898mm * 1642mm, the wheelbase reaches 2973mm, positioned as a medium-sized size, while the ideal ONE three-dimensional performance is: 5030mm * 1960mm * 1760mm, wheelbase is 2935mm. It is positioned as a medium to large size. Although the Mercedes-Benz GRC is more expensive, it is one size smaller in the class, so although it has a wheelbase of nearly 3m, the entire series is a 5-seat version, and the rear space is quite decent.
Ideal ONE can be more than 5m length, as well as close to 3m wheelbase, its seat uses 2 + 2 + 2 6-seat setting, not only more practical, but also more comfortable, because it has 4 completely independent seats, can experience the VIP treatment, the seat on the basis of soft and comfortable, but also equipped with heating and massage function, can be half lying rest, especially suitable for the elderly at home to ride, even if a family of 6 group travel, the space is more than enough, And the trunk can also hold a 28-inch suitcase.
When sitting in the front row of Mercedes-Benz GLC, it belongs to the older generation of interiors, not like other models using Dalian screen and D-type steering wheel, the overall performance is somewhat simple, relative to the interior design is more traditional, but the material is still quite thick, whether it is the collocation of materials or colors, as well as the embellishment of chrome trim, are just right, the overall feeling is very comfortable.
Come to the cockpit of the ideal ONE, because it belongs to the new force of car building, so the interior design is more trendy and bold, the entire center console is almost completely covered by the screen, there is basically no physical button setting, three large screens are lined up, across the entire center console, plus the control area 0.1 inch touch screen, it looks both domineering and sceneous, just like entering the home theater, not only full of technology, but also a luxurious atmosphere.
Power, Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum horsepower is 197 horses, the peak torque is 320N·m, because it is a low-power engine, so the power parameters are not outstanding, zero hundred acceleration takes 8.4 seconds, for a model of about 400,000, the performance can only be regarded as decent.
For the ideal ONE, because it is motor driven, and there is one in front and one in front of and behind, after the synthesis, it can output 333 horsepower, the peak torque is as high as 455N·m, although the self-weight reaches 2.3 tons, but it has a breakthrough of 6.5 seconds, which is about 2 seconds faster than the Mercedes-Benz GLC.
For Mercedes-Benz GLC, its theoretical fuel consumption is 8.55L, need to refuel No. 95 fuel, the current price in most areas is about 8.8 yuan, because it is a full-time four-wheel drive model, and the actual driving down, conservative fuel consumption should be around 11L, so the cost of travel per kilometer, has been around 1 yuan.
The ideal ONE is a pure electric model with a range extender, and its travel cost is relatively cheaper, because of the short distance, the pure electric mode has a range of 188km. If you travel long distances, full of oil and full power, the maximum endurance can reach 890km under WLTC conditions. If you need to replenish in the middle, there are electric piles to recharge, no electric piles to refuel, can easily obtain energy, no endurance anxiety at all, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is only 6.05L, the average down to about five cents per kilometer, it can be said that the advantages of pure fuel vehicles and pure trams, a perfect integration.
In terms of configuration, the Mercedes-Benz GRC has more than the ideal ONE: fatigue reminder, engine start-stop, variable gear ratio steering, sporty appearance kit, paddle shifter, main passenger seat leg rest and other functions.
The ideal ONE has more than the Mercedes-Benz GRC: reversing car warning system, 360-degree panoramic image, full-speed domain adaptive cruise, off-road and snow mode, steep slope mitigation, parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping, road traffic sign recognition, automatic lane change assistance, openable panoramic sunroof, full vehicle keyless entry, active closed grille, rear trunk induction opening and closing, leather seats, main driver's seat memory function, second row seat electric adjustment, heating and massage, vehicle OTA upgrade, AutoNavi and Tencent online map, car APP application, adaptive far and near light, in-car atmosphere lights, multi-layer soundproof glass of the whole vehicle, rear side privacy glass, in-car air purifier, in-car PM2.5 filtration device and so on.
Through the introduction, it is not difficult to find that although the Mercedes-Benz GRC belongs to the first-line luxury camp, it is more biased towards brand value. And the ideal ONE as a rising star, although the price is lower, but in all aspects of the strength of the show is not bad at all, even in terms of configuration, power and comfort but has surpassed, it is no wonder that it has been sitting firmly in the same level of sales champion throne, in March sales exceeded 11,000 units, become the domestic people can afford, affordable and practical luxury car, so, can only say: not Mercedes-Benz is not "hard", but the ideal this time is too strong!
