The mid-size cars of the joint venture brand have always had good sales and reputation in the market. Mainly because the performance of models in this class is very balanced. Whether it is commercial or domestic, it will give people a good experience, and the price is also moderate. Today I will bring you four mid-size cars, they are Buick LaCrosse, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Volkswagen Magotan , of which LaCrosse and Accord have ushered in replacement models. So, how should you choose these four models?
Honda's all-new Accord
One word comment: new shape, intelligent cockpit
As the eleventh generation model, the appearance of the Accord has changed a lot, and it no longer looks as calm as before. The appearance follows the North American design language, especially the front face has undergone a great change and is very sporty. Coupled with the flat and slender proportions of the body, the whole car looks extended, highlighting the sporty elegance.
The exterior is stunning, but will the interior too? The answer is obvious! The interior of the new Accord, like the exterior, adopts the latest design concept. 10.2-inch full LCD instrument + 12.3-inch central control screen + HUD form a multi-screen linkage. The latest Honda Connect 4.0 is also here, and this time, the entire Accord is equipped with CarPlay.
With a length of 4,980 mm and a wheelbase of 2,830 mm, the dimensions have not changed compared to the 10th-generation Accord except for the increase in length. Therefore, the interior space performance is basically the same as that of the 10th generation model.
In terms of power, the all-new Accord offers a 1.5T fuel version and an e:PHEV model equipped with the fourth-generation i-MMD dual-motor plug-in hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine + dual motors. The maximum power of the engine is 109 kW, the maximum torque is 182 Nm; The maximum power of the motor is 135 kW, the maximum torque is 335 Nm, the pure electric cruising range is 82 km, the battery capacity is 17.7 kWh, and the fuel consumption of WLTC comprehensive working conditions is 4.88 liters/100 km.
A new generation of Buick LaCrosse
A word of comment: a new generation of intelligent drive system, equipped with a 30-inch curved 6K screen
On May 15, the all-new generation Buick LaCrosse was officially launched, with a total of four configurations. As a replacement product, the new generation of LaCrosse has also become younger from its previous calm appearance. Especially its front end, which gives people a strong visual impact. However, this design may think that the shape of the new generation of LaCrosse is too radical for the older generation of consumers who have become accustomed to the previous generation of LaCrosse.
Along with the exterior design, there is also the interior design of the new generation LaCrosse. Equipped with a new generation of VCS intelligent cockpit design, and equipped with a 30-inch curved 6K screen, regardless of whether this screen is really practical, anyway, it is visually impactful. In addition, the new Buick eConnect technology is also applied to this car.
In terms of power, the new generation of LaCrosse provides two power versions, 1.5T and 2.0T, of which the 2.0T engine and 48V motor form a mild hybrid system, with a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, equipped with a 9AT gearbox.
Volkswagen Magotan
One sentence comment: Volkswagen brand blessing, three powers
As a classic German mid-size car, Volkswagen Magotan has to be mentioned. Today's Magotan is difficult to associate it with sports, because it is too business-oriented.
The interior of Magotan is also full of business style, although the details are also very textured, but there is less "feeling". The quality of the screens in the car is very high, but this set of car machines is not very intelligent, and the air conditioning panel is very inconvenient to operate.
As for space, Magotan has a wheelbase of 2871 mm, so the rear seating space is okay, but the rear center tunnel bulge is too high, which is not very friendly to passengers in the middle of the rear row.
Magotan is still equipped with the familiar 1.4T and 2.0T high/low power versions, and is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Toyota Camry
One sentence comment: THS hybrid system blessing, Toyota brand blessing
Finally, returning to the familiar classic "role", GAC Toyota Camry, as one of the best-selling mid-size cars, I believe everyone is familiar with it. This generation of models is also a younger design in appearance. Although this generation of models has been launched for a while, the overall design is still outdated, and the lines of the entire body are soft, belonging to a more attractive type.
The Camry interior, although not very stylish and technological, is very practical, and you will not find some function buttons as soon as you get into the car. And it's not bad in terms of materials. In terms of size, the Camry does not have an advantage in its class, and the interior seating space can only be said to be sufficient.
The power part is still the familiar 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and 2.5-liter hybrid two power versions. Among them, the power of the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is relatively weak, but urban driving can basically be satisfied.
Write at the end
As "evergreen" models in the mid-size car market, they all have excellent product strength. Specifically, the new Accord has comprehensive product strength this time, with a new appearance, interior and configuration, suitable for home and commercial use; The new generation of Buick LaCrosse is also new, whether it is configuration or space, it is very well done and cost-effective; Volkswagen Magotan has a strong business atmosphere, if you have business travel needs, you can consider it; Toyota Camry is a model with historical heritage, with a good brand influence and a good market reputation.
