In the past two years, the price of the car market can be described as ups and downs. Not only are new energy vehicles affected by subsidies and the price increase of battery materials, but also fuel vehicles have experienced considerable price fluctuations. From last year's chip shortage, to the big promotion at the end of the year, to this year's commodity price increase, the middle is also accompanied by the mercedes-Benz S-class (W223), Xena, domestic BMW X5 late price increase behavior... How to buy the most suitable car has also become the most important thing for consumers. So, the terminal price of 150,000 yuan, in the end, what kind of cars can be bought that are not popular and have a particularly large preferential margin? Follow the car fun perspective and let's take a look.
First, since bmw 1 series 120i M sport version
Let's start with one of the most controversial cars, the BMW 1 Series.
It is said that BMW rides a Mercedes-Benz, and BMW's positioning is to drive. Thanks to the characteristics of BMW's rear drive, the 50:50 front and rear counterweight ratio and the very heeled power level, BMW has become the driver's car in the minds of many keyboard car gods. After the 3 series continues to grow, the driving responsibility shifts to the 1 series and 2 series, after all, the shorter and more lean, the better the car. But now, BMW, a thick-eyed and big-eyed one, has also "mutinied the revolution", in addition to the rear-drive platform, it has also launched a new UKL front-drive platform, and the new domestic BMW 1 series is also based on it to create.
Not only that, the domestic BMW 1 Series is also equipped with a modular 1.5T B38 three-cylinder engine with peak horsepower of 140 hp and a peak torque of 220 Nm, which is matched by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front drive + three-cylinder machine makes the keyboard value of this car plummet. It is precisely because everyone is discouraged from the three-cylinder machine that the BMW 120i M Sport Version is slow to sell: at the terminal, the discount of this car can even reach about 60,000 yuan, reducing the threshold for opening a BMW to 150,000 in one fell swoop.
But after driving this very un-BMW BMW 1 Series, Fun Jun gave a different evaluation from the keyboard car gods. Aside from the quality of its engine and the fact that the front drive doesn't bring the psychological bonus that the BMW brand brings, the car is excellent in other ways. Whether it is the sporty shape of the M suite, the suspension with a clear sense of road, the steering feel of the feedback in place, or the ergonomics like the seat, or even the position and damping of the knobs, there is a strong "BMW flavor". It can be said that even if it is a front-drive model produced by BMW Brilliance, this BMW 1 Series still restores BMW's sporty style very well. What's more, the 1 series wheelbase after domestic production has been greatly extended compared to the imported hatchback version, and its 2670mm wheelbase and 4462mm length can bring enough spacious rear space, and daily home is enough.
As for the three-cylinder engine that many people care about, the quality of operation is indeed inferior to that of the four-cylinder engine, and the NVH (sound, vibration, and harshness of the sound) is not as good as the B48 engine of the door. At idle speed, you can clearly feel the jitter coming from the engine compartment, and the noise after the engine load will increase significantly, and the exhaust sound that is not very regular will make people feel slightly noisy. As for the harshness of the sound vibration, it is actually a subjective evaluation, some people will feel good, some people will feel bad, and they will see each other. But even sitting in the back row, you can feel a certain amount of shaking, which is a point that must be paid attention to when buying a BMW 120i M Sport.
As for the power, in fact, the 0-100km/h acceleration capacity of 9.4 seconds is completely enough, and this 1.5T is indeed more fuel-efficient than the 1.6T used by BMW in 2015. Just from the perspective of NEDC fuel consumption, its fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km is already stronger than many compact cars with 1.6L naturally aspirated, and the peak horsepower of 140 horses and the torque platform that began to stand out at more than 1,000 revolutions also make this BMW 1 Series open up enough.
In short, the BMW 1 Series is an entry-level BMW sedan that is completely worth 150,000 yuan, and it is very suitable for realizing the dream at the right price.
Second, Mazda Artez 2.5L Blue Sky Sport
The keyboard value of the BMW 1 Series is really low, so let's talk about a car with a very high keyboard value, Mazda Artez.
In fact, due to the merger of Changan Mazda and FAW Mazda, the preferential treatment of ARTEZ produced by FAW Mazda once reached about 50,000 yuan, which also made the price of Mazda Artez 2.5L Blue Sky Sport drop to the range of 150,000. As for its keyboard value, it is all the way full: 2.5L large displacement natural suction can output 192 horsepower, with 6AT people and horses in one, and Mazda soul moving red car paint face - ah, full of real fragrance.
During the driving process, Mazda Artez's power response is more sensitive, making people perceive that "this car is well handled". The 6AT matched to this engine looks a bit technologically backward, but its shift speed, including the capture of the intention of downshifting, is definitely one of the best in the AT gearbox, almost the same as the 6AT of the BMW era, and it is also better than the current ZF 8AT for fuel economy. Guided by the gearbox, mazda artez was also able to exert this nearly 200 horsepower in most cases, and gave you enough feedback from the matching of the sound wave and pedals; although after a fierce operation, it was found that the speed was only an embarrassing 85. In addition, the sense of the road of the electronic power steering wheel is like the blurred feeling after carrying some family planning supplies, which makes people feel overwhelmed.
But when the car stops, you'll notice that it's almost entirely of merits. A car worth stopping to take a closer look at the design must be an excellent car; the 4870*1840*1451 body size with a wheelbase of 2830mm is not as good as various lengthened B-Class cars, but it is indeed more spacious than many 150,000 yuan compact cars. Not to mention that for 150,000 it comes with premium features like 360° panoramic images, power sunroofs, keyless entry, paddle shifters, leather seats with heating and memory, and even double-glazed soundproof glass!
In other words, the Mazda Artez is a very cost-effective family car, but the traditional art of the Japanese can make it very sporty, which masks the equally beautiful characteristics of this family car. Although Mazda Artez is not really sporty.
3. Maribao XL Redline Automatic SharpLink Edition
So if you want to really exercise, you have to mention this Maribao XL. I would like to call it the most sporty B-class family car, even more sporty than the BMW 3 Series, and I am responsible for this statement.
As one of the "Di Si Sanbao" in the rim, the price-performance ratio and keyboard value of the Maribal XL are also very high. At present, the terminal can already give a preferential price of more than 50,000, which means that the budget of about 150,000 can already start with the Redline automatic sharp version equipped with a 2.0T engine. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, the so-called fast is sports, the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Maribao XL is only 7 seconds, which can be said to be very fast in the 150,000-class family car. The powertrain of this well-known LSY engine + 9AT, under the GM synergistic strategy, is also the same model of higher-level models such as Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac CT5, and it does not castrate the horsepower, but can output the original 237 horsepower and 350 Nm peak torque, which is already comparable to the BBA's high-power engine, but the fuel consumption is only 6.7L/100km, which is very conscientious.
The real movement of The Maribal actually comes from its suspension, very tough feeling and even some dreams of returning to a "go-kart" like mini, but more like a large kart. The Maxeb XL is also very robust when cornering, with shock absorbers and springs providing strong enough support to give the tyres better grip. The overall steering is also biased towards sensitivity, the information on the feedback is also relatively rich, and the overall driving style is biased towards young and sporty adjustment. If you're a driver, driving in this car will definitely make you addicted.
Finally, the Maribal XL is also almost the most sporty of the 150,000 in terms of appearance. Its overall line is very sharp, and the two-segment waist line with the C-pillar of the slipback shape makes the Maribao XL have a bit of an American "rocket car" taste. The blackened Redline appearance does not have any chrome parts, the rim, tail markers and other places are also embellished with red, the combat effectiveness is even more imminent, but also makes it look more like a modified car, but the original legal kind.
The practicality of the Maribao XL has also not fallen, the 4933mm long body and the wheelbase of 2829mm make its front and rear space have a very good performance, and the width of 1854mm also allows the rear row to accommodate 3 adult men, but the comfort of the problem of the middle floor bulge will have a certain impact. As for the trunk, it has a volume of 520L, and the rear seats also accept a 4/6 ratio of reclining, carrying the luggage of 4 people every day, or even loading some large parts in special circumstances, which is not a problem for it.
The Maribal XL stands out in terms of cost performance and extremely sporty driving style, while also taking into account everyday practicality. The only thing to worry about is whether the suspension family of the hard state will be able to accept it.
Fourth, Skoda Speed 330DSG luxury
Finally, let's talk about an "old cadre" car. After incomplete investigation, Skoda car owners tend to be very Buddhist, and user portraits are more like low-key middle-aged successful people. Their biggest hobby is to take their families out to play, fish by themselves and the like, which is characterized by two words, calm.
And the Skoda Speed, too, is such a very calm car. From the appearance point of view, it has the same calm sedan shape as the Volkswagen Magotan platform, but it adopts a sneaky trunk design, so that it has a 570L large trunk space. And even 1680L of storage space is available when the back row is completely down, whether it's fishing, picnic or camping.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Skoda Speedpa are 4869/1865/1489mm, and the wheelbase is 2841mm, which is a decent state in the B-class car, and the space is comfortable enough to sit 5 adults.
The interior is the familiar public taste, a 9.2-inch touch screen is located in the center, but the dashboard has been replaced by a liquid crystal display, and the air conditioning panel has also been replaced by a touch display, which also adds some sense of technology while being stable.
As for the cost performance, the Skoda Speed Pai is really very high: after the launch of the new configuration of the 2022 model, the guidance price of the 330 DSG luxury edition model equipped with the 2.0T EA888 engine is only 189,900 yuan, and the terminal has a discount of about 30,000 yuan! This is compared to the 2.0T Magotan in the same door, but there are no small discounts, and the storage space has been greatly improved. If it is slightly over budget, the guidance price of the 280 DSG Premium Edition equipped with a 1.4T EA211 engine is only 169,900 yuan, and there is also a discount of 30,000 yuan, and even the landing price can hit less than 150,000 yuan.
Under such a large offer, the Skoda Speed 330DSG luxury is also equipped with the same daily comforts: reversing images, cruise control, power sunroof, keyless entry/start, leather seats with 4-way waist support and heating ventilation, on-board air purifiers, etc., and even the rear adjustable passenger seat function, which has a bit of the taste of the boss car.
Overall, the Skoda Speedpay is the most cost-effective of the four cars recommended today, and its practicality and spatial performance for daily use have given us enough surprises. If you also need a calm style car, you can't go wrong with it.
