For college students who are about to enter the society, this time period is the last "carnival moment" on the eve of graduation, if you can buy a car in advance, you can meet the needs of the current self-driving tour, and you can dock the future commuting needs, it is the best. What we can see is that with the rapid development of the information age, more and more young people have a more clear and detailed travel appeal for car purchase, not only to "live in front of you", but also to "poetry and far away".
As the "first car" of young people, the compact joint venture car has been firmly at the top of the sales list, and today, we have selected three joint venture cars: Kia K3, Volkswagen Langyi and Nissan Xuanyi. Put these "upstarts" and "veterans" into a unified car use scene to see who can capture the "heart" of young consumer groups?
Part I: Appearance Comparison
"Confirm the look, you are the right person." As the song goes, young people's attachment to "first sight" may be beyond our imagination. Nowadays, the appearance of vehicles is no longer only the primary consideration of female consumers, and more and more young people are beginning to pursue independent and open personality. Whoever has a newer car and is more eye-catching may become the "most beautiful cub" in the circle of car friends.
Kia K3 is like a small cheetah, tightly HOLD the hearts of young users, for users who pursue visual tension and sense of movement, Kia K3 straight waterfall front net design is more powerful, the style of radical sports is more in line with the aesthetics of young people, coupled with cool LED daytime running lights, let you become the focus of attention when you meet with riders.
In addition, kia K3 designed a combination of through-led taillights at the rear of the car, full of technology, coupled with a more and more layered rear bumper and double exhaust pipe design combination, forming a smooth coupe style.
In contrast, Langyi and Xuanyi are more like catering to the aesthetics of middle-aged users, with four levels and eight stability, and insufficient innovation. In the case of Langyi, the new dual front face wants to cater to the different choices of mature people and young people, but the dot-array design of the starry sky version of the front face may become a nightmare for dense phobia patients if you are not careful. At the same time, another version of the model still follows its family design style, low-key and calm, which may be slightly heavy for friends who pursue speed and passion.
As for Xuanyi, the combination of black mesh and chrome decorative strips is also decent, and the family design style is in line with the new nature, but it is indeed slightly cramped on the smaller Xuanyi, and it is inevitable that aesthetic fatigue will be encountered when you see more.
Part II: Interior Comparison
If the most popular collocation nowadays, "contrast color" must be an indispensable fashion element: pink and green white, black and gray high-grade, blue-gray elegant, red and black classic... If this is the designer's home field, then from wearing to decoration, every scene can find a careful machine for contrasting colors. The same is true of car selection.
Our three protagonists today have invariably incorporated contrast elements into the interior design: Kia K3 (black and red contrast), Xuan Yi (black and brown contrast), and Lang Yi (black and white contrast). However, a closer look can be found that the interior of kia K3 is more prominent, compared with Xuanyi adhering to the traditional minimalist style of Japanese cars, and has not made sufficient efforts in the interior and materials. Langyi's style is the consistent tough performance of German cars, and for consumers who have high requirements for vehicle comfort and visual senses, Langyi may not be your dish.
It is worth mentioning that Kia K3 also strives to be careful at the digital level, with a 10.25-inch floating smart display + a 7-inch colorful LCD dashboard to create a high-tech, exquisite interior atmosphere. Imagine returning to the car after a day's work, who wouldn't want to use high-tech service to wash away the tiredness and burnout?
On the other hand, Langyi uses two-color trim panels to forcibly divide the center console into two parts, which barely enhances the sense of layering while weakening the sense of wrapping of the whole vehicle, and the overall style is slightly straight.
Xuanyi is a consistently simple style, LCD dashboard and small size central control screen, with three gun barrel air conditioning outlet, the design style is extremely simplified. Of course, for young people with different car purchase needs, the one that suits them is the best.
Part III: Configuration Comparison
Whether it is a daily commute or a self-driving trip, if you want to make the vehicle "full of driving fun", intelligent configuration is obviously indispensable.
Imagine that when you and your lover drive the Kia K3 to the suburbs for a night tour, the electric sunroof of the whole series quickly sends the stars to your eyes; when you see the stars, you can also experience the fun and pleasure brought by immersive entertainment in the 10.25-inch AVNT suspension touch display, chasing dramas, listening to music, playing games, the entertainment activities you want can be satisfied here; the end of the game, the way back home? L2 intelligent driving assistance system for you to escort, whether it is the details of intelligent far and near light control, or adaptive cruise, forward collision assistance, reversing side warning and other all-round intelligent driving experience, in the 100,000-level joint venture car, Kia K3 is the first choice for safe driving.
The configuration of Langyi can only be described as "enough", because in the same price point, the intelligent safety technology such as lane keeping assistance system, lane departure warning system, and parallel line assistance equipped with Kia K3 is not found in Langyi even in medium and high-end models, and such configuration operations are obviously clear at a glance for young people who pursue intelligent driving experience.
At the level of intelligence, Xuanyi is also more "immature". You have to pursue safety, rest assured, active and passive safety configuration can still meet the basic requirements, but if it is the pursuit of intelligence, intimate, then Xuanyi may be a little disappointing, because the car's intelligent interconnection technology function is relatively single, and the gap is very obvious compared with Kia K3.
Part IV: Power/Fuel Consumption Comparison
Speaking of this, perhaps everyone has a preliminary consideration of what kind of joint venture car to buy, so what factors affect the final decision of everyone to buy a car? Fuel consumption must be a top priority. With No. 92 oil entering the 8 yuan era and No. 95 oil breaking through the 9 yuan mark, how to "add the least oil and take the longest road" is probably the dream of many car owners.
Let's first list the fuel consumption data of the three vehicles on 100 kilometers to give you an intuitive feeling: Kia K3 100 kilometers fuel consumption 5.1L, Langyi 100 kilometers fuel consumption 5.5L, Xuanyi 100 kilometers fuel consumption 5.2L. Surprisingly, even the Japanese car, which is known for its "fuel saving", can not do the Kia K3.
Some people may wonder, will low fuel consumption come at the expense of power performance? Whether the mule is a horse, we still have to pull out the power parameters of the three big coffees and slip.
The Kia K3 is equipped with the famous 1.4T-GDI engine, which has won the title of "Ward Top Ten", with a maximum horsepower of 130Ps, a peak torque of 211N·m, and a number of advanced technologies such as small inertia turbines and integrated exhaust manifolds, which achieve strong power while also having excellent fuel consumption performance. If you are a consumer who does not have the ultimate pursuit of power performance, you can also choose a 1.5L model equipped with a "Smartstream" power system, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers can be even lower.
Also a 1.4T turbocharged engine, Langyi's parameters are slightly higher than kia K3 in comparison, but the fuel consumption performance is not satisfactory, for young people who have just entered the society, it may be regrettable that they cannot find the best balance between power and fuel consumption.
In the evaluation of Xuanyi's general "lack of power, starting meat", its 1.6L naturally aspirated engine may be fully responsible, often the engine speed has gone up, but the speed can not keep up, even if the power performance is too high, such a power performance may be difficult to enter the eyes of today's young people.
It can be seen that kia K3 is more advanced in the powertrain configuration, with both strong power and low fuel consumption. Although Langyi power is strong, but the fuel consumption is high, Xuanyi is the opposite, the power is weak but the fuel consumption is low. So overall, the Kia K3 is undoubtedly the best of the three cars.
Epilogue:
Overall, in the 100,000 yuan joint venture car section, the appearance rate of Langyi and Xuanyi is higher. But the Kia K3 that dares to break through is more like a dark horse, highlighting the siege under heavy competition, low fuel consumption, high value, high configuration, each advantage is enough to shake the position of competitors and become the best choice for market segmentation. What do you think? You who are planning to buy a compact joint venture car, have you already seen the Kia K3 waving to you?
