In March, the sales data released by the association showed that the luxury mid-size SUV once again brought surprises. Tesla Model Y with nearly 40,000 monthly sales data to become the champion of the SUV list, breaking the Haval H6's consecutive record. Mainstream models such as mercedes-Benz GRC and BMW X3 and Ideal ONE are also not bad, and they belong to the head camp in the SUV camp, at least as a regular in the top fifteen lists.
Speaking of this, it is inevitable that there will be such a question, why these luxury medium-sized SUVs with hundreds of thousands of dollars can be at the same level as 100,000 or tens of thousands of product sales. Why are luxury midsize SUVs so popular?
These models are often priced in the middle of 300,000-500,000, they can only be regarded as the entry and middle end for the luxury camp, not high-end, this price range is not pure imported models, but for family cars, they are very suitable. This price is the efforts of ordinary people and hope, rich people buy and buy casually do not feel painful, the potential audience is wide, and the sales volume is naturally not low.
Balanced comprehensive strength. To have face, luxury brand grade is sufficient; and comfort is also guaranteed, the actual price is also within the acceptable range for potential audiences, and the practicality is high, unlike some large cars, but also have to be equipped with a driver, their own driving a bit of test technology, so their popularity is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.
To understand this, let's take a look at what cars are worth starting in the luxury mid-size SUV camp? Here are 5 models.
Land Rover Aurora L
There used to be thousands of reasons to buy the Aurora, but one wheelbase made people discouraged. Now the extended Land Rover Aurora, after making up for the lack of wheelbase, has become a rising star in the field of medium-sized luxury SUVs, and in terms of product strength, it is not at all inferior to BBA.
The series is equipped with a 48V light hybrid system as standard, equipped with a 2.0T/200 hp and 2.0T/249 hp four-cylinder engine with a 9AT gearbox. Many people are not optimistic about the failure rate of Land Rover, in fact, the Ingenion engine is excellent in terms of stability and reliability, book data performance and fuel economy, and the doubts about the powertrain can be dispelled. The price is 389,800 yuan, the terminal also has a decline of more than 80,000, and the naked car has fallen to about 300,000, which is excellent in cost performance.
The appearance is the highlight of the Aurora, the stepped body, the roof that sinks from the B-pillar, the blackened treatment of the column, and the uplifted waist line, the exquisite dynamic sports fashion, the light luxury texture is outstanding, and the grade is full.
The interior is also full of highlights, the straight center console design, as well as the same three large screens with the star vein down, strong sense of technology, large area of leather wrapping, excellent sense of luxury, impressive, bringing an excellent driving experience. Hard power performance is not inferior to hardcore off-road, and the wheelbase has reached 2841mm, the space is also not left behind, the advantages of price and comprehensive product strength are enough to make up for the lack of brand influence.
Cadillac XT5
Although I don't want to admit it, the moment I see Cadillac, I pay the most attention to its price, after all, the label of price reduction has been firmly bound to the Cadillac brand. Fortunately, XT5 did not disappoint, the price of 332,700, the terminal has a drop of more than 50,000, a luxury medium-sized SUV, the entry naked car in the twenty-seven or eighty thousand or so, this price, there is no money to say a real fragrance.
Of course, the advantage of Cadillac XT5 is not only the price, the whole series is equipped with a 2.0T/237 horsepower four-cylinder engine, equipped with a 9AT gearbox, with a 48V light mix system, the book data is eye-catching, the vehicle warranty is 3 years unlimited mileage, and the car is more worry-free and convenient.
Appearance is not the strength of Cadillac, in the XT5 can feel the muscle and thickness of the American car and the sense of strength, but the overall beauty and fashion refinement performance is not outstanding, the wheelbase is only 2857mm, can ensure daily needs, compared to the same level of models may not be dominant.
The interior is somewhat dragging its legs, the material workmanship and the design of the center console, are very old, there is no sense of beauty and pull down the grade, can only rely on the price to make up for this gap.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
To say that the discovery of the sports version, that is, the mid-term makeover of the discovery of the divine line, rely on what impressed consumers? It's about the price.
The price starts from 356,800, the terminal decline is around 100,000, and the entry-level naked car has fallen to about 260,000, which is highly overlapping with the family car field, and the cost performance is very good.
The Sports edition is equipped with a standard 48V light hybrid system, equipped with a 2.0T high and low power version of the engine, the maximum horsepower is 200/249Ps in turn, the peak torque is 320/365 Nm, and the 9AT gearbox is equipped. The book data is decent, and the travel is completely sufficient. Of course, there is still a certain gap compared with American cars.
Appearance is Land Rover's strength, even if it is the ugliest discovery sport version of the family, in the field of SUVs, it is also a product with both aesthetics and recognition, ladder body, square and hard lines, heavy tail, bringing a different kind of beauty.
Compared with the interior design and Aurora and Star Pulse, it is found that the sports version is not dominant, the refinement and grade are not enough, but it is simple and generous, with the Cadillac XT5 setting, it is not so difficult to accept. The wheelbase is only 2741mm, which is not outstanding, but the basic needs can be met.
Tesla Model Y
How to say that sentence, not how good, all depends on peers to set off. Tesla Model Y is a stark example, countless people question its luxury identity, but in front of the ideal ONE and other models, many people are really fragrant with Tesla, how much they once looked down on Tesla, and now they feel really fragrant!
Of course, now the identity of Tesla luxury cars has been basically affirmed, at least in the field of new energy Tesla brand appeal and influence, even BBA can not compare. The price ranges from 316,900 to 41.79 million, which is that ordinary people who save money can afford to buy it, and rich people are not distressed when they taste it. A total of 3 models are on sale, with a cruising range of 545/660/615km, a minimum acceleration of 3.7S per 100 km/h, excellent performance and long cruising, and excellent comprehensive strength.
The exterior design of the whole vehicle focuses on the sporty simple style, smooth and dynamic body lines, and slightly slippery back shape, creating a bit of a coupe SUV visual sense, sports fashion recognition is high. And the wheelbase is also 2890mm, which is a 5-seat SUV with plenty of space and high ride comfort.
The interior does not have too many highlights, the main is the ultimate minimalist style, and the details of the workmanship need to be strengthened. The warranty of the whole vehicle is only 4 years / 80,000 kilometers, which is not dominant compared to other competitors.
Lincoln Navigator
If the advantages of tesla model Y lie in the retention rate and the identity of new energy models, the highlights of the Lincoln Navigator are price and power.
In the field of fuel vehicles, as a long-established luxury brand, the navigator positioning medium-sized SUVs is priced at 328,800 yuan, and the highest is 478,800, compared with the same level of BBA, the advantages are not too obvious. This is only the guide price, the entry-level naked car after the terminal discount is likely to be sold around 300,000.
There are two engines available in 2.0/T245 hp four-cylinder and 2.7T/322 hp V6 engines, matching an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the book data advantage is obvious, especially the V6 engine, which is basically the cheapest luxury V6 model that can be bought. The charm of high horsepower needless to say, understand it.
From the appearance point of view, the domestic Lincoln has not changed much, but the improvement of details has significantly upgraded its texture, bringing better visual effects. The wheelbase is also 2850mm, the space is also completely sufficient, and the comfort of the grade is guaranteed.
The highlight of the interior design is the button shift, with the delicate double-stitched leather and the straight and regular center console design, the sense of grade is spontaneous. The vehicle warranty is also 5 years/140,000 kilometers, which has more advantages over models of the same level at the same price.
