Spend 20,000 more on 4WD value? Less than 200,000 is not worth it, more than 250,000 must have!

Less than 200,000 is not worth it, more than 250,000 must have! Mechanical four-wheel drive is not worth the electric four-wheel drive value.

What is the use of four-wheel drive?

1, sell you more money, this is the biggest use of the four wheel drive.

2, improve the power limit: how did your car run? The engine outputs power, amplifies it through the gearbox, and then passes it on to the wheels – at the end of the day, isn't it the tires that scratch and run? In one case, the greater the engine's horsepower, the faster it accelerates, especially in its initial stages. But when the engine has enough horsepower, the tire will become a short board.

Not long ago, when the Shadow Leopard was just listed, it was difficult to run out of the official zero hundred acceleration results, the problem was on the tires, and there was obvious slippage in the front wheel at the beginning stage, losing power. Replacing with tyres with better grip will be solved.

At this time, if it is four-wheel drive, all four wheels have power, and scratching the ground at the same time is equivalent to the grip required for starting is evenly divided into four wheels, and the grip required by each wheel is smaller, and it is less likely to slip. So, when the horsepower is high enough, the four-wheel drive can increase the power limit.

3, improve the control limit: the four wheels have a grip, in the high speed to do the action, will be more flexible. Reflected in the corners, front-drive vehicles are prone to pushing heads, also known as understeering. Rear-drive vehicles are prone to tail-wagging, which is called oversteering. The principle is also very simple, you will also have a feeling when you sit in the car, the vehicle turns left, if it is more urgent, the person will fall to the right, this is because of the role of centrifugal force. The same is true of the car, when turning left, most of the mass is concentrated on the two wheels on the right, and the grip of the two wheels on the left is reduced, and it may even roll over from the ground.

Front-drive, when turning left, the two front wheels responsible for turning point in the direction you want to go, we do not consider the rear wheels without power, assuming that you are driving in a straight line, the right tire grip is large, the left grip is small, is the front of the car going to the right? And at this time you are turning left, the front of the car is deflected to the right, and you can't turn, which is understeer.

The rear-drive car turns left, but also the right rear wheel grip is large, the rear wheel pushes the front wheel to go, the front of the car rushes to the left, and the right rear wheel pushes forward, is it the feeling that the car is going to cross over? That's tail flicking, oversteering.

And four-wheel drive, even without ESP, because all four wheels have grip, can avoid the above problems to a certain extent. So the improvement is the control limit, at least the cornering speed is faster.

4, better out of trouble: mainly for SUVs, in some extreme road conditions, such as sand, mud and other non-paved roads, four-wheel drive because four vehicles have power, so it is less likely to trap the car. When one or more wheels lose grip, the gripping wheels can be assigned more power, helping the vehicle out of trouble.

This is exclusive to the SUV, the car can not talk about what to get rid of, the chassis is too low, directly to the bottom.

5, better stability: in fact, it is still related to the grip of the tire, on the ice and snow road, the ground adhesion is insufficient, and the four-wheel drive is more stable than the two-wheel drive. The reason is the same as the previous statement, the grip required to start is evenly distributed among the four wheels, and it is not suitable for slipping.

Why is less than 200,000 worth it?

Let's analyze it according to the above article by article:

1, 200,000 or less cars, your budget is not high, the pursuit of cost performance. Four-wheel drive and other things with a false head and brain suddenly make you add twenty or thirty thousand, which is definitely not worth it.

2, 200,000 class car, how strong can you go? As for making the tire a short board? Especially for family cars, the throttle is reluctant to step on, what four-wheel drive heart do you?

3, 200,000 cars, you and I say control? The professional control is talking about the limit, and the so-called control of ordinary people is whether the car is good or not, it is completely two different things, the control of the car chassis is hard, the steering wheel is hard, and even the brakes are hard, it is not comfortable at all, and it is definitely not what you want. Control is what car players pursue, and obviously the budget of 200,000 has not yet reached this level.

4, get out of trouble - I just want to know, what did you buy for 200,000? SUV and ORV are obviously different, SUV even if you give you four-wheel drive, it is not suitable for deep off-road, play with people once, back to the car will have a high probability of abnormal noise. Our family cars under 200,000 will rarely take non-paved roads, and at most they will go to some country roads and county roads, or catch up with road construction or something. Even if it is an SUV, under normal circumstances, where the two-wheel drive can't go, you can't go through the four-wheel drive.

5, stability: this is the only useful point, if the home is in the north, and the doorway is uphill and downhill, but also easy to accumulate snow, then get a four-wheel drive is still meaningful. Meaningful, not necessary. In fact, two-wheel drive + snow tires and even four-season tires are stronger than four-wheel drive + ordinary road tires. And this kind of ice and snow road, four-wheel drive is not safe, the most secure way is not to drive. And it snows for a few days a year.

Different price points of the car, the choice logic is different, less than 200,000, we pursue economic and practical. One car, four-wheel drive 200,000, two-wheel drive 180,000. You spend 20,000 yuan more to buy a four-wheel drive, how useful is put aside, you put this 20,000 yuan oil card, imagine it as a technology configuration - both cars are 200,000, one is four-wheel drive, one is two-wheel drive, but two-wheel drive this two years do not need to refuel. Which would you buy?

People with a budget of 200,000, we are not too rich at hand, we have to calculate, there is no need to pay for the cost-effective configuration, and the four-wheel drive is the most typical one.

Why do you say that more than 250,000 must be there?

Because...... The money was spent in place.

From the cost point of view, no car can be worth 300,000, 300,000 is basically the limit of vehicle performance, more than 300,000, are brand added value. Therefore, the price of the vehicle is close to 300,000, even if the cost performance of some functional configurations is not high, you have to give it to me, because I have spent this money. It's like if you have to spend 300 yuan to eat beef noodles, I can't eat it, and I can't eat it, and I can't afford to be authentic, the bowl must be large, the beef must be more, there is nothing wrong with putting sea cucumber abalone in it, you have to make this bowl of noodles look worth 300.

Compared with the previous four-wheel drive function, you have a high budget, the selected car has stronger performance, and the use of four-wheel drive seems to be a little bigger. If the power is strong enough, then the tire grip may really become a short board, and the four-wheel drive will really improve performance. The price is high, the performance is strong, the pursuit of control is good, the pursuit of stability is also good, there is also this capital.

In fact, it is mainly a problem of commodity logic, the higher the price of things, the lower the cost performance. On the contrary, the more expensive things are, the less they care about the price/performance ratio. CPU, in fact, for most people 6 cores and 12 threads are enough, but if you have a high budget, you have to buy 8 cores and 16 threads, even if the performance is improved, you can hardly feel the score. To put it bluntly, four-wheel drive is a configuration of the car "burning money", you can burn with a high budget, less than 200,000 or more affordable is better.

Why is it said that mechanical four-wheel drive is not worth it, and electric four-wheel drive value?

Mechanical four-wheel drive is a power source for the engine, and the difference is only whether the power output is to the front wheel or distributed to the four wheels. And the power distribution of this set of additional things, including the transfer box, differential, transmission shaft and so on, the energy is transmitted from the front engine to the rear axle, there must be energy loss, so the fuel consumption is higher, and there are many parts, and the probability of failure will also become larger.

And the electric four-wheel drive - HEV this small motor hybrid is not in this list, in fact, the reverse of the typical is Highlander, through the installation of the motor to achieve four-wheel drive, and then the maximum output power of the motor is only 40Kw, can not continue to output, the detractory is almost nothing, is a decoration.

It is recommended that pure electric or plug-in hybrid four-wheel drive, you buy not only four-wheel drive, but also include a rear motor, to achieve a comprehensive improvement in performance. For example, Han EV accelerates by 7.9 seconds in two-wheel drive zero hundred, while four-wheel drive zero hundred accelerates by 3.9 seconds. One is powerful enough and still belongs to the family car level, while the other is strong and has reached the level of supercar. In other words, a 7.9-second power two-wheel drive sedan is not worth 300,000, while a 3.9-second all-wheel drive sedan with zero hundred acceleration is worth 300,000.

Car selection is actually a process of game with the manufacturer's marketing department, and the manufacturer certainly wants higher profits, so it will definitely encourage you to buy things you don't need. You, on the other hand, are responsible for the money in your own pocket. Figure out what you need, what you want, and are you really rich enough not to care about this little bit of money?

This logic can even be extended. You budget 200,000, do you want to buy 300 tanks? No, it's all four-wheel drive, not for you to play with, that car is not suitable for home use. Unless you are on a budget of 300,000, buy down. What is the value of the four-wheel drive H6, the mythical beast, the big dog, worth buying? It is not worth it, this budget is your family, it is better to buy a Song Pro DM-i, fuel saving is the last word. What about the two-wheel drive Tiguan L, Highlander, Lu Fang, and Oncovey? None of them are worth it, more than 200,000 do not give you four wheels, it is not generous.
