The development of the original Chinese automobile market in Yiche has reached the current scale, and the competition in major market segments has been extremely fierce, whether it is SUV or sedan or even MPV market, it can be called a hundred flowers. In the Chinese market, where there are many strong players, the products that can best understand the needs of consumers can stand out, and the comparison theme we bring today is: the all-round model of 200,000-250,000 price families. Considering the brand, price, space, design, etc., we have brought two joint venture brand SUVs with not weak brands, excellent product strength, and each with its own characteristics.
Appearance comparison: Oncover Plus is full of momentum Veranda sports style
Old rule, let's still make a simple comparison of the appearance of the two cars. Of course, the consumer reputation of the two cars in this market is very good, and the content involving aesthetics is not divided, and we can simply interpret the design style of the two cars.
Buick Encore Plus is Buick's new SUV launched last year, compared to its predecessor Encore, Buick Encore Plus has a comprehensive innovation in appearance. From the appearance point of view, Buick Encore Plus adopts Buick's latest family design style, the most recognizable sign is that the front face of the through-wing grille and the two sides of the barb-type daytime running lights connected, can effectively extend the horizontal visual width, plus its own Buick Encore Plus This car is larger, so the momentum of the vehicle SUV will be more sufficient than that of Wilanda.
Toyota Veranda is actually a sister model of rav4 rongfang, and the chassis structure and power configuration of the two cars are exactly the same, but the appearance design will be more wild. The front face of the Toyota Veranda adopts a spindle mesh design similar to that of Lexus, with more aggressive spoilers on both sides, and the honeycomb-shaped grille creates a good sporty atmosphere.
In terms of body size, Buick Encore Plus is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, the vehicle size is 4845/1883/1695mm, the wheelbase reaches 2833mm, toyota Veranda is positioned in a compact SUV, the vehicle size is 4665/1855/1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2690mm. Judging from the data of length, width and height, Buick Encore Plus will be one level higher than the wheelbase of The Last Circle of Wilanda. Since the models we have selected are all five-seater versions, the overall interior space of the Buick Encore Plus will be larger, including seating space and trunk space.
The side design, Buick Encore Plus body is relatively slender, maintaining an overall calm and powerful posture. The just right chrome trim and straight waistline make the whole car relatively smooth.
Toyota Veranda and the front face temperament is similar, due to the short body length, so the overall side will be more compact, waist line and door line are more sharp, maintain a swooping posture, black wheel eyebrows to increase a hint of wildness. Obviously, Buick Encore Plus walks in a calm and refined style, while Veranda is wild sports.
Buick Encore Plus and Toyota Wilanda both use 18-inch rims with tire sizes of 235/55 R18 and 225/60 R18, the former with a Bridgestone tire brand and a Yuke Haoma, with higher costs.
At the rear of the vehicle, the two cars are somewhat similar, with through-type chrome strips to increase the horizontal visual width, and the taillights on both sides also use LED light sources. The rear-encircled style Buick Encore pays more attention to refinement, while the Toyota Veranda is more integrated.
Overall, the two cars have very different styles in terms of exterior design, thanks to the large body size, Buick Encore Plus will be more SUV-like than Wilanda, and at the same time, it is more refined and calm in appearance.
Interior comparison: Buick Encore Plus's overall lead
In the interior part, the differences in style and appearance of the two cars are similar, Buick Encore Plus focuses on exquisite luxury, Toyota Willanda focuses on pragmatism, the latter has more mechanical buttons to facilitate blind operation, but in terms of perception and luxury, Buick Encore Plus is better.
The difference mainly comes from the interior material, Toyota brand for the interior color has always been more traditional, basically black and gray-based, the material is also in the same level of medium level, Buick Encore Plus in the material is more willing to invest: leather steering wheel, leather seats, door panels, center console are used leather materials, and even this version can also be optional Alcantara material, in the touch and look is indeed better.
The advantage of the Toyota Veranda interior is that the layout of the functional area is relatively clear, and the half of the center console is soft material, but the leg area that cannot be seen below is made of hard plastic. The 4.2-inch LCD meter and the central 10.1-inch display are decent, and the main problem is not the size, but the display effect and the interface of the car system, which looks slightly outdated.
Buick Encore Plus' asymmetric center console is actually relatively rare at this level, and the center console that is biased towards the driver's side will be more in line with the driver's operation. The 8-inch LCD meter and the 10-inch central control screen will be clearer than Veranda in terms of display effect, which is more clearly perceived in the reversing image.
In addition, buick Onkeway Plus's in-vehicle system is the main eConnect system of the Buick brand, with many built-in localized services, such as Baidu ecological applications, and Buick's traditional OnStar online customer service function is not absent. Buick brand of the car machine in the joint venture brand has always been I think the functionality and ease of use are relatively good, the system response is faster, the function is more comprehensive. Even for low- and medium-sized models, the streaming mirror is not absent, and this feature can be felt in rainy and snowy weather.
In the interior space part, we found two experiencers of similar height to experience the actual space of the two cars. In terms of parameters, the wheelbase parameters of Buick Encore Plus are 143mm more than That of Willanda, but because Buick Encore Plus is a five-seater and seven-seater model, so for the five-seat version alone, who wins and who loses really depends on the specific performance.
The experiencer of 181cm in height can get a punch and two fingers head space in the front row of buick Encore Plus, and a punch and a slap in the back row; Toyota Veranda's head space performance is similar to Buick Encore Plus, but the back leg space is two punches, which is slightly less than on Uncover Plus. However, in general, both cars take on the task of family cars very well, and even the rear row has a relatively sufficient space to ride.
Power comparison: Turbo VS dual engine system The pursuit of explosive power or smoothness
If you know a few people who know cars relatively well, you may question why you compare a hybrid model to a turbo model, but for more consumers who don't know cars so well, I need a joint venture brand model with enough space, then these two cars will meet.
Buick Encore Plus uses GM's ace power combination for the last two years: a 2.0T turbocharged engine +9AT, while adding a 48V light hybrid system to optimize the starting experience, which has a maximum power output of 174kW and a peak torque of 350N·m.
Toyota this dual engine system is also very familiar to everyone, the maturity is very high, the maximum power of the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine is 131kW, the peak torque is 221N·m, plus the maximum power of the whole system after the motor comes to 160kW, the parameters are actually not weak.
However, in terms of driving experience, the difference between the two cars is still quite large. First of all, buick Encore Plus's 2.0T turbocharged engine with 9AT gearbox will be stronger than Willanda in absolute power, and its 1500 rpm can reach peak torque, and the power output after the engine speed is stronger.
In addition, the blessing of the 48V light mix system improves the starting experience of Buick Encore Plus and makes up for some weaknesses in the turbo system. The turbocharged engine with the traditional AT transmission is my preferred driving style, provided there needs to be a smart gearbox. This 9AT gearbox is well matched, the shift logic is also more agile, and for the positioning of Oncovey Plus, this gearbox has a certain optimization for smoothness.
Toyota Veranda gives full play to the advantages of the dual engine system, the motor's greater torque can bring rapid power response, the naturally aspirated engine itself is smooth enough, of course, the system focuses on fuel economy. If you have to be provocative, then the roar of the naturally aspirated engine during rapid acceleration somewhat destroys the atmosphere in the car, and in the NVH, the Buick Encore Plus, which is equipped with double-layer sound insulation glass and active noise reduction system, is stronger.
Configuration comparison: security configuration complete luxury configuration Oncover Plus is more abundant
If the exterior interior depends on personal preferences, the power performance is also related to the tuning performance, then the equipment of the technology configuration is real, whether the safety configuration is complete, and the richness of the comfort configuration is more intuitive for the later car experience.
In terms of safety configuration, whether it is Buick Encore Plus or Toyota Veranda, it is equipped with front airbags, front/rear side airbags and head air curtains, and Toyota Willanda also has more knee airbags. In fact, both cars, whether high or low, have performed remarkablely in terms of passive safety. In terms of active safety, both cars are also equipped with L2-level driver assistance systems including lane keeping, lane departure warning, active braking, etc. Buick Encore is slightly ahead, and there is more parallel assist, which can play a certain role in driver lane changes.
In terms of practical configuration, Oncovi Plus has a 360 ° panoramic image, cruise control, open panoramic sunroof, electric trunk and other commonly used configurations, Toyota Veranda is only an electric sunroof, reversing image, but adaptive cruise This configuration is equipped with praise.
In terms of luxury configuration, the advantages of Oncovey Plus will be more obvious, such as streaming media rearview mirrors, larger instruments, inductive wipers, ANC active noise cancellation system, seat heating steering wheel heating and other functions are not available to Veranda, and these functions will improve the quality of the car as a whole.
Full text summary: The theme of this article is the family all-round car dispute, so what is all-round? Toyota Velanda gives the answer with a special dual-engine system, but the vehicle's technology experience and interior quality are still the same, and the young consumers who have grown up with the intelligence of the Internet are a bit stretched. In contrast, in the joint venture SUV market at a price of 200,000-250,000, Buick is a brand that is more likely to attract consumers. In the case of Oncovi Plus, the mature appearance and excellent interior design can make consumers feel good at first glance, the solid 2.0T engine and a good 9AT gearbox are also faultless, and more importantly, there is no short board: the space is excellent, the configuration should also be there, and overall it is a very balanced product in all aspects.
