Father's Day is approaching, if you want to recommend a car to your father, which one will you choose?
SAIC Volkswagen Passat
Guidance price: 181,900-252,900 yuan
Reason for recommendation: A classic, a car of feelings for fathers
After more than 20 years of accumulation, the Passat has long been more than just a model, has slowly evolved into a Chinese complex, so the first thing we recommend is this classic.
The biggest highlight of the new Passat in terms of appearance design should be its double front face shape. The new Passat retains the atmospheric and stable horizontal grille shape, and adds more sporty parametric dot-like modeling elements inspired by the galaxy sky inside the middle net, presenting a visual effect that spreads outward, and integrates fashion elements on the basis of inheriting business genes to convey a more youthful and dynamic atmosphere.
The side styling is basically the same as the old model, the body size is not much different, and the slender shape can meet the aesthetic preferences of most age groups. The most significant change at the rear is the design of the through-through taillights, the word "PASSAT" under the flat VW logo is also integrated into the through-through taillights, and the silver font shines brightly on the red lampshade. The concealed exhaust system and chrome trim of the rear bumper continue from the older model, and the embellishments are good.
The new Passat also incorporates stylish elements into many details of the interior. The high-gloss black decorative panel with its own concave and convex pattern runs through the entire instrument panel, integrating the instrument panel and the central display, pure atmosphere, and the horizontal metal texture trim not only adds layers to the interior, but also echoes the front face design, exuding a strong sense of technology.
In terms of power, the Passat is equipped with three power systems: 1.4TSI (280TSI), 2.0TSI low-power (330TSI) and 2.0T high-power (380TSI), with maximum power of 150 horsepower, 186 horsepower and 220 horsepower respectively. In terms of transmission, the 1.4TSI (280TSI) is mated to a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, and the 2.0T engine is mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission in both the high and low power versions.
Volvo XC60
Guidance price: 377,900-474,900 yuan
Reason for recommendation: Safe and reliable, suitable for the father of the family
With a simple design, coupled with the "ancestral" driving assistance and safety features of the Volvo family, the Volvo XC60 has a strong appeal for the father of the family.
Since its launch at the end of 2017, the new generation of Volvo XC60 based on the SPA platform has also had its own place in the Chinese market. The new family design language has been well received, and the "Mjolnir" headlights and "Viking Tomahawk" taillights have become new Volvo iconic elements, and the Volvo Beauty Shadow can be identified in traffic at a glance.
The new interior design is no longer as cold as before, while taking into account the sense of technology and beauty, in the car, you can hardly find areas drawn with complex lines, everywhere is horizontal and vertical design, like a piece of furniture full of technology. The interior workmanship and materials are also very sufficient, and this new design has been applied to all Volvo models and has gained a good reputation.
After entering the domestic market, the XC60 did not adopt the practice of lengthening the body size, and kept the original taste as much as possible. Of course, there is no need to worry about whether the seating space will have a great disadvantage compared to other models of the same class, from the actual experience, XC60 can fully meet the needs of families in terms of seating space.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a mild hybrid system composed of 2.0T + 48V motor, and the maximum power is 197 hp (B4) and 250 hp (B5) according to the tuning, which is still matched by an 8-speed automatic transmission and equipped with a four-wheel drive system.

For those families who need a lot of space, Xena is definitely a cost-effective, intimate and practical model.
The Xena is consistent with global models in terms of design, adopting Toyota's latest family design and using many sharp lines. The side shape of the body is straight as a whole, and the two waist lines that rise backwards create a forward swooping posture, which is very dynamic. The rear design continues this dynamic element, with changing lines outlining the sense of layering, and the taillights are also blackened.
In terms of interior, Xena abandons the style of traditional MPVs and is closer to the design of sedans, which is a home style, which is also fully in line with its product positioning of home MPVs. The shape of the front instrument panel is relatively simple, the central control screen adopts a floating design, and a 12.3-inch touch screen is used on the mid-to-high-end model, the low-end model uses an 8-inch screen, the 12.3-inch screen car networking function is better to use, and the 8-inch screen supports CarPlay mobile phone mapping, which is complementary in function.
The middle and rear seats of the Xena are very spacious, and there is plenty of storage space, which ensures a comfortable ride after putting down all kinds of trivial items on long trips. The flexibility of 7 seats and 4 seats allows Xena to easily cope with more use scenarios.
