With a budget of 200,000 yuan! These three cost-effective sports models deserve attention

Remember the "Four Wheel Drive Brothers" you watched when you were a child? The whirlwind charge, the triangle arrow in the cartoon, and the four-wheel drive car must be the childhood dream of every post-90s boy. When this generation grows up and realizes its car dreams, it must also want to have a very sporty model. For models that focus on sports, in addition to sufficient power, they must also have a handsome enough appearance. So today, Uncle Che recommends three sports models with a price of about 200,000 yuan and a good cost performance.

Audi A3

Price: 20.31-24.97 million yuan

First of all, looking at a compact car from a luxury brand, the Audi A3 offers two versions of the hatchback standard wheelbase version sportback and the long-axle sedan version Limousine, and offers both sporty and elegant exterior designs. The Audi A3 adopts a new design language, and the polygonal grille uses honeycomb-like filling inside, with the lower three-stage air intake, which is full of sports. Especially in the hatchback version, the lines on the side of the car will be more sporty.

Although the design of the interior is not a strong sports orientation, it can definitely arouse the driver's desire to drive. The straight center console design enriches the sense of hierarchy, and the full LCD instrument panel with three-frame steering wheel and paddle electronic gear shift mechanism strengthens the cockpit's sense of technology. In terms of configuration, the Audi A3 series is equipped with virtual cockpit technology as standard, in addition to the new touch MMI system, wireless CarPlay, panoramic image and other configurations also appear according to different models.

In terms of power, the Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged four-cylinder engine code-named EA211, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 N·m; in terms of transmission system, the Audi A3 is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Although this powertrain has been used for many years, the overall power output is still very smooth, and with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the gear upgrade is very fast and ensures good ride.

Golf GTI

Price: 229,800

Of course, if your demand for a sport model is power first, then the Golf GTI from FAW-Volkswagen is even more worth considering. From the outside, the Golf GTI retains the classic red through-the-grille trim at the front grille, while the through-led daytime running lights also make the whole car more refined, and the large-size heat dissipation vent surrounded by the front also emphasizes the sporty positioning of this model. The red GTI logo on the front fenders on the side of the body and the black exterior mirrors further enhance the sporty atmosphere.

Inside the car, the Golf GTI features the same design as the eighth-generation Golf. The 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel with three-panel multi-function sports steering wheel combines a sense of technology and sports. In addition, driver assistance systems such as parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping, and active braking systems have also appeared on the Golf GTI.

In terms of power, the Golf GTI is equipped with the EA888 2.0T turbo engine that we are very familiar with, with a maximum power of 162 kW, a maximum torque of 350 N·m, and a drivetrain matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. In addition, the Golf GTI equipped the chassis with a DCC adaptive suspension system and XDS electronic slip limiting.

Lynk & Co 03+

Price: 19.88-25.68 million yuan

After seeing two main home sports models, the last uncle came to recommend a product that is truly positioned as a performance car, which is Lynk & Co 03+. While retaining most of its original design, the Lynk & Co 03+ offers a wide range of custom options, including an all-carbon aerodynamic kit, a large full-carbon rear spoiler, a 19-inch dense-spoke forged rim, a front tower top reinforcement connector, and more. In addition, after the optional aerodynamic kit and large rear spoiler, the downforce of the Lynk & Co 03+ at maximum speed was increased from 11 kg to 40 kg, which was significantly improved for handling stability at high speeds. At the same time, Lynk & Co 03+ also launched a customized version of the Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan model that is only for LPCC members of the Lynk & Co Performance Car Club, which is more radical in terms of color and design style.

In terms of interior, Lynk & Co 03+ retains the central control layout of the Lynk & Co 03, but the overall color scheme has a clear sense of contrast. In addition to the full LCD dashboard, central control large screen, electronic gear and other configurations, Lynk & Co 03+ is also equipped with a one-piece sports seat that can be electrically adjusted, and can be equipped with a more sporty Alcantara material for the steering wheel, door panel, seat, center console and other parts.

In terms of power, the Lynk & Co 03+ is equipped with a 2.0T in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine of the same Volvo T5 power model, with a maximum power of 187 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m, and the drivetrain is matched with an 8-speed manual transmission and an intelligent four-wheel drive system from BorgWarner. In addition, the maximum power of the Lynk & Co 03+Cyan customized model has been increased to 195 kW, the peak torque has reached 380 N·m, and the acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is only 5.7 s.

Uncle Che summed up

Although not everyone can drive a car on the track, it is not difficult to buy a sporty model with a budget of 200,000 yuan. The three models recommended by Uncle Che for everyone today are sports models with high cost performance. Among them, although the Audi A3 does not have a very strong power, it is also a good choice to buy a luxury brand model with excellent design and dynamic shape at this price; for consumers who pursue power, the Golf GTI is a better choice; if you don't like hatchbacks and pursue performance more, Lynk & Co 03+ will be more suitable.
