200,000 budget want to buy a sports car, these 5 models are worth a look

With the advent of the era of "moderate prosperity per capita", the once mainstream budget of 100,000 has also been raised to 200,000. Those car friends who lost their hair and "worried about how to spend 100,000 yuan for money" have also come to the second hurdle one after another. ”

Pick a B-Class with the crowd? Rushing to the entire luxury brand? Or chasing the trend and choosing new energy vehicles? Presumably, at this time, many car friends will be eager to become automotive experts and instantly find their dream car.

In fact, in addition to the above three models, there is also a model that includes the trend of new energy, the comfort of a B-class sedan, and the handling of luxury brands - a sports model. Today, Xiaobian recommends five cost-effective sports models with a budget of about 200,000.

One, Lynk & Co 03

Price range: 136,800 to 256,800

As the opening disciple of Lynk & Co, Lynk & Co 03 has placed its positioning in the field of sports models since its birth. The wide range of pricing also makes Lynk & Co 03 both approachable and can also ensure the positioning of Geely's high-end brand.

Although the appearance is a matter of "which is right or wrong", the appearance of the Lynk & Co 03 is still very sporty. Two bar-style headlights, a blackened flat grille, a slightly upturned tail and a compact and capable body catch the eye.

Of course, no matter how high the appearance value is, there is no strength, and it is only a vase. The interior of Lynk & Co 03 is full of sports texture, surrounded by a central control layout, 10.2-inch embedded central control large screen, sports seats, and fur materials. The interior is also equipped with the Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, satellite navigation systems, keyless entry, low-end equipped with reversing images, cruise control, high and top equipped with 360-degree panoramic images and full-speed adaptive cruise, the configuration table is very beautiful.

In terms of power, although the Lynk & Co 03 pulls the crotch slightly. But the golden combination of 2.0T+8AT of Lynk & Co 03+ has a maximum power of 187 kW, a peak torque of 350N·m, and an acceleration time of 5.7 (5.9) seconds per 100 kilometers, making it easy to grasp the user's pursuit of speed.

Second, Regal GS

Price range: 196,800 to 249,800

Before seeing the Regal GS, Xiaobian has always thought that the medium-sized car is a "pension car", with general performance and strong comfort. As a result, the Regal GS gave a vivid lesson to Xiaobian through the nearly 5-meter length and the power configuration of 2.0T+9AT.

Look at the car first to see the face, the overall appearance design of Regal GS, to the senses of the editor is still good. There are both the silky lines of the B-Class sedan and the trendy sense of young people, red calipers, self-closing grilles, and penetrating front faces, all of which will not be labeled "tacky".

In addition, the length, width and height of regal GS are 4904 (4913)/1863/1461 (1462) mm, the wheelbase is 2829mm, which belongs to the standard medium-sized sedan level, with heating, fur mixing seats, main co-pilot electric adjustment, electric sunroof, automatic air conditioning and other functions, there is nothing to say in comfort.

In terms of power, 1.5T and 2.0T power will be provided respectively. Among them, the maximum power of the 2.0T turbocharged engine is 174 kilowatts. The peak torque is 350 N·m, matched with a 9AT gearbox, and the acceleration time is 7.1 seconds per 100 km/h. Although the speed has decreased due to the weight of the car, it still cannot hide the position of the Regal GS in the field of sports.

Compared with the Lynk & Co 03, which only considers the needs of the driver, the Regal GS is more mature and can take into account the needs of "Daddy" and "Daddy Tide".

Three, Cadillac CT4

Price range: 239,700 to 259,700

As an entry-level product of Cadillac, Cadillac CT4 did not enjoy the treatment of second-tier luxury brands, and only sold 14,809 vehicles in 2021, an average of only more than 1,000 units per month, and the performance was really a bit watery. So why is cadillac CT4 so bleak?

Xiaobian believes that it is inseparable from cadillac CT4 "gave up the body, chose the soul", abandoned comfort, emphasized power output and compact and capable body. The entire series comes standard with a 2.0T+8AT gold combo, with double-ball spring shock absorber struts and five-link independent suspension for top-notch handling. Compared with the pricing of 200,000, this can be described as an exceptional "incense".

But the fanatical pursuit of power has led to the interior of the Cadillac CT5 being slightly plastic, the rear space is also poor, and the reserve space is relatively average. It is more suitable for single and free young people, but it is not suitable for middle-aged men with families and children.

Four, Kia K5

Price range: 16.18 to 205,800

The Kia K5 is similar to the Regal GS in that it is a hidden sports coupe under the B-class body.

As a Korean model, kia K5 inherits the appearance of Korean high value, tiger whistle front face, sneakback roof, through-type taillights, has a good recognition.

In terms of size, it is also the advantage point of Kia K5, its length, width and height are 4980/1860/1445mm, the wheelbase is 2900mm, and it also has a trunk induction opening, wireless charging of front mobile phones, electric sunroofs, leather seats and other conventional configurations, which are still commendable in the riding experience.

In terms of power, the Kia K5 also offers 1.5T and 2.0T engines. Among them, the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 240 horsepower, the peak torque is 353 Nm, matching the 8-speed manual transmission, the power performance is also said to be in the past, but it is still worse than the mainstream sports coupe, and can only be called "running fast".

Five, Chevrolet Maribor XL

Price range: 164,900 to 219,900

Since we have talked about the Kia K5, we must talk about the old rival of the Kia K5, the Chevrolet Maribor XL. At last year's Zhejiang International Circuit, with a lap of 1′54"168, it successfully broke the fastest lap record of a mass-produced car within 200,000 yuan, improving the previous record holder 1′56"998 of Lynk & Co 03+, by nearly 3 seconds.

For the Chevrolet Marie Rybo XL, Xiaobian believes that "fast" and "more" are the best descriptions for it.

Fast: The Chevrolet Maribal XL is also available in 1.5T and 2.0T engines. Among them, the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 174 kilowatts, the peak torque is 350N·m, matching the 9-speed automatic transmission of the hand, the power performance is outstanding, and the driving time of 100 kilometers is 7 seconds.

Chevrolet Maribal XL has worked the configuration, which can support adaptive cruise, L2 level driver assistance, ANC active noise reduction function, mid-to-high seat heating, electric adjustment and other functions, and has a wealth of maneuverability.

At last:

The above five cars are the sports models that Xiaobian believes are the most cost-effective among the 200,000. If you have a good face and want to play power, then cadillac CT4 is a good choice. If you want to pursue motivation and want to return to the family, Chevrolet Maribor XL and Regal GS can consider considering. If it is a friend of the Yan value party, Lynk & Co 03 will definitely meet your appetite. As for the Kia K5, it is more suitable as a grocery shopping cart.
