The spread of the epidemic and the shortage of raw materials have indirectly led to higher car manufacturing costs for global car companies. From beginning to end, the wool is out of the sheep, and this part of the forced increase in the cost of building a car is also paid by us consumers. Therefore, in recent times to buy a car, the most heard is that the "so-and-so" model rose by tens of thousands of yuan, buy early and enjoy early and other statements.
In fact, do not look at these "forced" price increase models, there are still some models in the market that give a large market preferential range for us to choose, among which joint venture entry-level family cars such as Volkswagen Bora, Honda Lingpai, Peugeot 408 and other joint venture entry-level family cars have a large market profit, the highest even gives 35,000, and now the bottom of the purchase, more or less have a little bit of small profit.
After the public treasure comes from the MQB platform, the value of the face has ushered in a qualitative improvement, and combined with the 35,000 yuan preferential margin given by the current market terminal, it is quite popular with domestic consumers. At present, the monthly sales volume is basically maintained at 10,000-20,000 vehicles, which can be regarded as a well-known Ashkenazi entry-level car.
Of course, the subjective advantage of people with the preferential strength and high appearance of your appearance is not the focus of recommending Volkswagen Bora, but the family attribute of its "golden oil".
Volkswagen Bora length, width and height are 4663x1815x1462mm, wheelbase is 2688mm, just take this wheelbase data in the same class of models to compare, is an excellent level.
Thanks to this, the interior space in the car does not need to be discussed at this level. In addition, the seat supports the waist and legs very well, and the overall riding comfort is worthy of recognition. It should be noted that due to the MQB platform, the height of the platform bulge in the middle of the rear row will be a small drawback.
Volkswagen Bora configuration is not rich, but the basic and comfortable configurations such as tire pressure alarm, rear parking radar, large size central control screen, LED headlight group, external mirror heating, etc. are readily available.
Of course, the most practical CarPlay mobile phone interconnection function is also supported. The medium and high-end models also have functions such as front/reverse collision warning, keyless entry, start, and cruise control.
Volkswagen Bora offers a total of three powertrains of 1.5L, 1.2T and 1.4T, of which the 1.5L engine is matched with a 5-speed manual and 6-speed manual transmission, and the 1.2T and 1.4T engines are matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The maximum output power is 83kW (1.5L), 85kW (1.2T), and 110kW (1.4T), respectively. Regardless of the powertrain version, it is enough to meet the needs of everyday family cars.
Of course, in order to have a better car experience. The 1.4T+7-speed dual-clutch transmission power version will be recommended here, because the power version will accelerate in a straight line more directly, and overtaking and lane changes will be more confident.
Most importantly, this engine adopts an aluminum cylinder block and more advanced VVT intake technology, which can ensure excellent fuel economy while increasing power, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.5L.
Peugeot 408 may be slightly inferior in terms of market volume, but it does not mean that its product strength is not excellent enough, such as body size, active and passive safety configuration, architecture materials, and power systems are more eye-catching performance in the same level. And combined with the current market terminal preferential margin of nearly 30,000, it is more worth our purchase.
Peugeot 408 length, width and height are 4750x1820x1488mm, wheelbase is 2730mm, from the vehicle data, it is really the best in the same level of competitors, after all, the length of more than 4.7 meters of compact class family car is really rare.
The most immediate advantage of this is better interior seating space. It should be noted that the Peugeot 408 rear floor has a bulge in the center, and the headrest does not support high and low adjustment, and the ride comfort will be relatively poor.
Peugeot 408 gives the main co-pilot airbag, front side airbag, front and rear head air curtains, ESP, ABS, parallel assist and other safety configurations, from the aspect of active and passive safety configuration, it is a more outstanding member of the competition at the same level.
In addition, peugeot 408 uses HLE high-strength body structure, and the use of high-strength steel in the vehicle has reached a proportion of 70%, and the maximum strength reaches 1500MPa, which is very conscientious.
The Peugeot 408 is available in two power versions, with a low-end version of a 1.2T engine + 6-speed dual-clutch transmission with a maximum output of 100 kW and a peak torque of 230 N·m. The high-end version is a 1.6T engine + 6-block hand automatic transmission, with a maximum output of 125 kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m.
Although the displacement of the 1.2T turbo engine is obviously small, but the power output data is much better than the Volkswagen 1.5L self-priming engine, in the same level of competitors want to pursue "excess" power performance, it is not wrong to choose it.
Of course, if you are pregnant with a three-cylinder engine, you can directly mount a model with a 1.6T turbo engine, and on this model, you can experience a more intuitive short-distance acceleration and continuous acceleration ability. At the same time, the 6-speed automatic transmission will also be more leather and durable.
Honda Lingpai is a "special car", but now it is not a pejorative meaning, but a positive word, that is, the overall product strength of Honda Lingpai will be more inclined to the actual car needs of Chinese people. In fact, the monthly sales volume basically remained at about 10,000 vehicles, which is a recognition of its product strength. A few days ago, the market terminal also gave a preferential range of up to 21,000, which is believed to be able to surge sales.
At present, the strength advantages of Honda Lingpai products are mainly reflected in three major levels: large space, rear seat comfort and economic attributes. The length, width and height are 4766x1804x1509mm, and the wheelbase is 2730mm. Although the body size is not impressive in its class, the wheelbase data of the cross-level makes its internal space play optimally.
And after honda's "MM concept" to create, it is even more likely to have the illusion of a B-class car experience. At the same time, with the nearly flat rear platform, the riding comfort is undoubtedly more worthy of recognition.
In addition to this, the Honda Lingpai also has two rather off-level configurations for the back row. First, the unique rear central armrest multi-functional table board, which is very practical, can place all kinds of debris, and can be used as a small mobile "entertainment table". Second, the whole series is equipped with 35 ° adjustable aviation headrests as standard, which can ensure a more comfortable riding experience even for long-distance travel.
Honda Lingpai offers a total of 1.0T and 1.5L hybrid powertrains. The 1.0T engine has a maximum output of 90 kW and a peak torque of 173 N·m. The 1.5L hybrid is a combination of a naturally aspirated engine + motor, and the maximum power of the system is 113kW.
Whether it is 1.0T or 1.5L hybrid, the power output data is enough to meet daily household needs, and the pursuit of "optimal" fuel economy is also the first thing to do for an entry-level family car.
Of course, it is still that sentence, if you want to pursue a better car experience, you must give the budget 1.5L hybrid version. After all, the power response and compliance are all Honda i-MMD hybrid advantages, and at the same time, the performance of the vehicle's NVH will be better than that of the fuel model.
The above three entry-level family cars recommended above, not to mention how comprehensive the performance is at the product force level, but in specific fields, like Volkswagen Bora has "golden oil" household attributes, Peugeot 408 has cross-level power output data, and Honda Lingpai's large practical space is incomparable to other competitors of the same level.
Moreover, at present, they give such a high preferential margin at the market terminal, which undoubtedly further highlights their "quality-price ratio". In short, if you want to buy a joint venture starter car at a lower price or with the idea of "small profit", you may wish to refer to it.
