The models we bring today can be said to be the ideal choice for many families: luxury brands, medium and large SUVs, pragmatic and not low-key, can go in and out of high-end banquets can also take the whole family out to the wilderness. They are: Volvo XC90, Lincoln Aviator, BMW Brilliance X5, and Audi Q7, see if there is your ideal model in these cars.
Volvo XC90
Guidance price: 63.89-89.49 million yuan
Volvo XC90 as a medium-sized from northern Europe, but also Volvo's flagship SUV, many of Volvo's top technology are appearing on this body. In addition to the fuel version, the XC90 also has a plug-in hybrid version of the model optional, in the combination of 2.0T + motor can meet more consumers who have demand for power.
In terms of appearance, Volvo XC90 has a more unique design style in this level, which is also closely related to the brand tone. At present, the body lines of many luxury brands in large and medium-sized SUVs on the market are getting softer and softer, such as this generation of Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7, which are beautiful and undeniable, but less than a little bit of the aura that this level of models should have.
The appearance of the Volvo XC90 is relatively simple, but the tall body, the highly recognizable light set and the large number of muscular lines of the whole car make the car's sense of power more prominent. Black is the color of most XC90 consumers prefer to choose the car, which is more stable than the denim blue in the picture.
XC90 vehicle size is 4953/1958/1776mm, wheelbase reached 2984mm, if you look at the data from the data in fact, Volvo XC90 is not particularly large in the same class, but thanks to the front and side of the car design, visually this car looks very large. The overall line of the body side is mainly straight, and the appropriate chrome decoration with 20-inch rim is more harmonious as a whole.
Vehicle tail, XC90 tail light group is a very recognizable element of the tail, although XC90 is the first of these four cars on the market, but the design is still keeping up with the trend, "high and big" shape is to capture the hearts of many consumers.
At the time of its launch, the appearance of this flagship SUV won the favor of many consumers, in addition to that? The interior of XC90 has chosen a more stable design style, and the overall brown + black color scheme does not look dull. The center console design with a slightly biased towards the driver's side makes it easier for the driver to operate the relevant functions.
The crystal retainer is unique to high-end models, which significantly enhances the sense of luxury and refinement in the car. At first glance, the interior of the Volvo XC90 doesn't have any fancy design, but it improves the quality of the interior through excellent workmanship and reasonable ergonomics. For example, the tilt angle of the screen, the optimization of the native Android system, and the easy-to-use voice system make it easier for the driver to perform related operations.
In addition, the Interior Material Volvo XC90 is also more inclined to use safe and environmentally friendly interior materials, whether it is wood grain trim panels, metal chrome parts or fabric fibers production and selection are strictly controlled odor volatilization. Low formaldehyde, low heavy metals, low allergen material options, and volvo AAC dual-acting enhanced air purification systems are the hidden advantages of the Volvo XC90. There is no odor in the car, which is more critical for families with children.
In terms of spatial performance, the experiencer of 180cm in height can get two punches of head space in the front and back rows of the Volvo XC90, while the leg space is more than two punches, and even the third row also has a head space and leg space of one punch. Even a seven-seater model in this class gives every occupant a good experience of space, thanks to the styling and body height, the Volvo XC90 performs better in the head space.
Power part, Volvo XC90 is equipped with a 2.0T engine + 48V hybrid system, the engine is divided into high and low power two versions, low power turbocharged engine parameters of 184kW / 350N·m; high-power mechanical + turbo twin supercharged engine parameters of 220kW / 420N·m, high-power version of the parameters can even be comparable to some 3.0T engines.
In addition, after the addition of the 48V hybrid system, the main improvement lies in the power response in the initial stage and the power line in the middle of the gearbox shift, and the overall power output is also smoother. From the subjective point of view, the XC90 is an accelerated and brisk model, the power reserve of the 2.0T high-power engine is sufficient, and it is quite smooth compared with the 2.0T model of the same level. In addition, the Volvo XC90 has also updated the plug-in hybrid version with the tail label T8 this year, replaced with a higher power motor and a larger capacity battery, and the overall power level has risen a lot. Consumers who need a green card can consider this model.
Recommended model: Volvo XC90 B6 Zhiya Deluxe Edition 7-seater
Official price: 781,900 yuan
Reason for recommendation: As the top version of the XC90 car series, the most important thing about the B6 Zhiya Deluxe Edition is to add air suspension, which is very obvious for the improvement of driving texture, and more luxurious configurations such as Borgward Vegen 19 speaker sound system, mood lights, HUD functions, etc., compared to other versions have more improvements in luxury experience.
Changan Lincoln Aviator
Guidance price: 50.98-75.98 million yuan
Lincoln Aviator as the earliest batch of domestic luxury brands in the large SUV, obviously in terms of price compared to other models have a certain advantage, the starting price of 509,800 yuan is indeed easy to attract attention, but from the sales point of view of the aviator in these four models is not satisfactory, the reason behind the analysis is still the brand and the fit with the target group two aspects.
Speaking of products, the appearance of lincoln aviators has a very typical American luxury brand characteristics, the body size of the vehicle is also the largest of the four models. The large area of the middle mesh with rounded lines has a touch of classical flavor, but the modern sense is somewhat insufficient.
On the side, the first impression of the aviator to people is huge, the overall body size of the aviator came to 5080/2022/1759mm, the wheelbase is 3025mm, the huge body size has a good bonus for the vehicle momentum, but if you only look at the front shape, you can not distinguish whether it is a navigator, adventurer or aviator for the first time.
The design of the rear is also relatively simple, and the through taillights are one of the iconic designs of Lincoln models, and more and more models are now using similar designs. The adjective of traditional American luxury is more accurate for aviators, it has the atmosphere of a traditional American car, at least in the appearance can get a considerable part of the old car owners' favor, of course, the modern sense of technology in the appearance will be weakened, even if the light group configuration is not low, but it seems to be almost tasteful.
In terms of interior design, the Lincoln Aviator's center console uses a large number of horizontal lines, so that it has a good visual malleability, and the flat design style also keeps up with the current trend. At this price point, the model materials will not be too bad, since the concept of American luxury is advertised, then a large number of leather and soft materials are essential, and the overall center console adopts a symmetrical design, which is in line with the traditional interior aesthetic concept.
The central control screen is tailored for the Chinese market, with a size of 12.3 inches, equipped with SYNC+ intelligent interconnection system, supporting intelligent AI voice interaction, intelligent navigation, online life services, OTA online upgrade and other functions. At the local level of the vehicle-machine system, lincoln aviators have done a good job, and have also made quite a lot of compromises for localization to meet the needs of users in the Chinese market.
Lincoln Aviators can choose 2+2+2 or 2+3+2 seat layouts based on individual needs, with up to 30-way adjustable seats and extended seat cushions for added comfort.
In terms of space, the 175cm tall experiencer can sit in the back row with four fingers of head space and two fists of leg space. Since the second row of seats does not support front and rear adjustment, the experiencer is more "bent" in the third row, and there is a situation of top legs. American cars actually do a little worse in terms of space utilization, but they also have their own unique advantages: the seat padding and cushion length are in line with the standard of "large sofa".
Lincoln Aviator's power is more special in today's several models: the full range of 3.0T twin-turbo engines, maximum horsepower 261kW, maximum torque 553N·m, matching 10-speed manual transmission, in addition to the lowest two-wheel drive Honor edition, the other 5 models have adopted a multi-piece clutch type of timely four-wheel drive structure.
The full range of 3.0T V6 engine is also one of the major selling points of Lincoln Aviator, smoothness is a thumbs up, of course, fuel consumption performance and several other models are far from the difference, this is the power trade-off, after all, whether it is Volvo B6, or BMW X5 2.0T engine level is very good, power is enough for most consumers.
Recommended model: Aviator 4WD Executive Edition
Price: 689,800 yuan (terminal price 679,800 yuan)
Recommended reason: As the sub-top model of the whole series, the four-wheel drive executive version has been more improved in luxury configuration than the previous version, and it is also an entry-level version equipped with air suspension, and the 22-inch rim is also more in line with the temperament of the vehicle than the low-end version, and the overall cost performance will be higher.
BMW Brilliance X5
Guidance price: 60.50-77.50 million yuan
The domestic BMW X5 long wheelbase version was officially launched at the end of March, which is the first model to achieve mass production among the medium and large SUV of the three major luxury brands of "BBA". After localization, the overall price range has decreased, and the wheelbase has also increased. There are not many points of change in new cars, but they are more critical.
However, according to our investigation, the current domestic BMW X5 has a price increase of 30,000-50,000, and the configuration of the lowest model is relatively simple, which also leads to the fact that although the guidance price of this car does not look high, the landing price of the desired version is not satisfactory, which weakens the cost performance of the new car in disguise.
In terms of appearance, the gap between the domestic BMW X5 and the imported version is not large, the eye-catching double kidney grille on the shape is more recognizable, and the M sports suit will be more outstanding in the creation of a sports atmosphere, the function of the light group is very complete, even the sub-low model is also equipped with laser headlights, and the blue logo is quite conspicuous.
Whether it is from the side or the rear to examine these two cars, BMW X5 will still appear more ostentatious and sporty, but also vaguely reveal the identity of the "driver's car". The body size of the domestic X5 reaches 5060/2004/1779mm, which is 130mm longer than the body length of the imported version of the model, and this part is all given to the wheelbase. The appearance of decorative parts has also added a lot of chrome decoration, the visual effect will be more stable than the imported version, but the overall style is still quite sporty.
The tail changes will be less than the imported version, but the design of this generation of X5 itself is very classic, and the appearance of the whole vehicle is also highly accepted among consumers.
In the interior part, the interior color of the BMW X5 is available in red, but I personally prefer plain brown, choosing a bright color with its family interior and a variety of wooden trim panels to make the entire cockpit look more layered and young. The crystal block handle is also an absolute praise, which I believe many people like. Youthfulness is a distinctive feature of the BMW X5 in appearance and interior, and the center console with a large tilt angle also illustrates this.
At the same time, compared with the imported version, there is no small optimization in the comfort of the car, the most obvious is the seat, the fabric, the thickness of the seat and the angle of the rear backrest are adjusted to the taste of the Chinese. The LCD screen size is 12.3 inches, the system is still using BMW's iDrive system, the logic is still relatively smooth.
The space part, after the wheelbase is lengthened, all the space in the rear row is given, which also leads to a significant improvement in the leg space of the rear row of the BMW X5 - the experiencer with a height of 175cm has a head space of one punch in the front row, and after entering the back row, there is far more than two fists of leg space, which solves the biggest criticism point of the imported version of the model. Unfortunately, there is still no seven-seat version of X5 to choose from, which is limited for consumers with multi-person travel needs.
The power part, the domestic BMW and the imported version of the model are the same, with 2.0T and 3.0T two engines, the tail labels are 30Li and 40Li, respectively, matching the 8AT gearbox. The 2.0T version of this powertrain we are very familiar with, the maximum power of 180kW and the peak torque of 400N·m in the 2.0T camp is medium-high, with a smart gearbox driving experience is excellent, of course, for a medium and large SUV power can not be said to be very sufficient, but to meet daily needs is no problem.
If your budget is enough, of course, the version of the 3.0T+48V hybrid system will be more fragrant, but for the vast majority of consumers who buy BMW X5, the 2.0T version is still the main choice, after all, the landing price of the 3.0T model is close to 800,000 yuan.
Recommended model: BMW Brilliance X5 xDrive 30Li Premium M Sport Suit
Price: 635,000 yuan
As a 2.0T high-end model, although the current terminal price is unstable, the extended wheelbase and relatively rich configuration make this version still have strong competitiveness. At the same time, its own domestic BMW X5 has no shortcomings after lengthening the wheelbase and improving comfort, and compared with the 3.0T model, this xDrive 30Li Privilege M Sports Suit is 100,000 cheaper, or quite fragrant.
Audi Q7
Guidance price: 70.18-86.98 million yuan
This generation of Audi Q7 is listed in 2020, compared to the previous generation of models the change is still quite obvious, the family design after the upper body sense of luxury increased, the sense of technology has weakened, the overall shape is not as ostentatious as the BMW X5.
Although visually small, the Size of the Audi Q7 is also 5067/1970/1737mm – about the same length as the Lincoln Aviator, but the width and height result in the Lincoln Aviator visually being much larger than the Audi Q7.
In terms of appearance, the overall line of Audi Q7 is relatively soft, the oversized grille and S Line appearance kit are the most conspicuous parts of the front face, and a large number of silver decorative parts with black body can create a good sense of momentum. However, this generation of Audi Q7 is not very recognizable, and the family design is somewhat indistinguishable from the Q5 after the upper body, which is also a problem faced by many luxury brand models at present.
Body side, straight waist line is a common design for medium and large SUVs, 5067mm body length appears to be very slender, and the front face is similar, the side also has a lot of silver decorative parts, older consumers will prefer, the door handle is the same color as the body, five-frame sports rim size can choose up to 21 inches rim.
The rear of the vehicle is decorated with through-line chrome strips, horizontal and vertical has always been Audi's consistent design style, and the elements of the tail are slightly more complex. The silver lower skid reveals a touch of off-road, and even the lowest-spec models are equipped with a headlight cleaning function, which also emphasizes the off-road nature of the Audi Q7.
Coming to the car, the interior of the Audi Q7 is slightly old compared to the other three models, although there is actually nothing picky in the material, but the interior and appearance of this generation of Audi Q7 face the same problem: and the low-level model distinction is not obvious, the triple screen has been applied to most Audi models, including the through-line air conditioning outlet is also the same, and the choice of color matching and trim panels is not very impressive at first glance, which is also the main problem facing the Audi Q7.
Of course, although the interior of the Audi Q7 is not so colorful in terms of appearance and feel, the workmanship and touch are actually good, whether it is the grip of the steering wheel or the damping details of the knob.
In terms of spatial performance, the wheelbase of the Audi Q7 is 2996mm, and the experiencer with a height of 180cm can get about one punch of head space before and after, and the rear leg space is also more than two punches. In the third row, the head space is limited, and the level of the leg space punch is acceptable in the same level.
The power section, the Audi Q7, like the BMW X5, has a choice of 2.0T and 3.0T engines, with tail tags of 45TFSI and 55TFSI respectively, and a 8AT gearbox is matched with both engines. Considering the price point, the 2.0T model is still selling well. The Audi Q7 has a maximum power of 182 kW, the same as the BMW X5, but with slightly lower torque and a peak torque of 370 N·m.
Of course, talking about power can not only look at the parameters, Audi Q7's throttle adjustment is relatively brisk, which is a style that many people like, and the overall power initial performance is better. In standard and sport modes, this powertrain has a very different personality, and the 8AT from the ZF is also quite mature to match the engine. The Audi Q7 may not surprise you in terms of power, but there's nothing fussy about driving.
Recommended model: Audi Q7 45TFSI Luxury
Price: 738,800 yuan
Reason for recommendation: Similar to the BMW X5, the Audi Q7 45TFSI Luxury is a top-of-the-line model of the 2.0T version, which will be much better than the entry-level model in terms of configuration, and the 2.0T engine can meet the power needs of most consumers.
Full text summary: Today's 800,000 car selection strategy recommended four models of terminal price are basically concentrated between 650,000-700,000, considering the purchase tax and some options, or within 800,000. We do not recommend the four models, because the products at this price point actually have their own strengths, some are known for luxury configurations, and some are competing for the market for health and safety.
From the sales point of view, in addition to the domestic X5 currently has no sales data, volvo XC90 average monthly sales than the aviator and Audi Q7 are higher - this is believed that many consumers will express surprise, but considering the XC90 product strength and tone, I can understand. Each of the major models has its own advocates, who do you prefer for these four cars? Welcome to leave a comment in the comment area to discuss it!
