With the arrival of a set of core powertrains and the launch of electrification architecture platforms, the key advantages established by independent automakers at the core level have not only gradually caught up with joint venture manufacturers, but also completed the overtaking at many levels. In the mid-to-high-end SUV market, Chery, which has always been good at core power development, has brought the Xingtu brand through the overall upward movement, and the mid-size SUV market has contributed to the Xingtu Yaoguang, which has shown a higher performance than the joint venture competitors in many aspects, but what if it is faced with an absolute bestseller like the Honda CR-V? A 178,800 yuan Xingtu Yaoguang 2023 400T two-wheel drive luxury version model (hereinafter referred to as Yaoguang) and a Honda CR-V 2023 240TURBO two-wheel drive Fengshang Edition The 5-seater model (hereinafter referred to as the CR-V) has a landing price of about 189,000 yuan in the current terminal market.
From the point of view of appearance, Yaoguang's body has more scientific and technological elements and sports transformation methods, such as the completion of the LED daytime running lights between the headlights, and the taillights have also achieved X-shaped decoration through structural undulations, and the frameless grille on the front face, the longitudinal deflector groove with daytime running lights, etc., although it is slightly more complicated, but after being combined together, the sense of advanced technology is indeed very strong. In addition, the Yaoguang with a body of 4781/1920/1671mm also creates a low-lying wide-body effect, and with a slender wheelbase of 2815mm and a large hatchback, the sporty effect is also quite outstanding.
The Honda CR-V has become more stable and mature than before after the generation, the regular hexagonal grille will be combined with the headlights, the sporty front and rear bumpers have a high enough surrounding, and also bring a small size diversion disposal, but the lines to the structural bulge, each position is becoming as regular as possible, and the whole is simple and stable. At the same time, CR-V also has a length, width and height of 4703/1866/1680mm, because the body is relatively straight, although it is only 9mm taller, but the overall will look more upright, and the wheelbase of 2701mm is not as good as Yaoguang, but it is also considered to be above the same level.
From the interior point of view,Yaoguang dark and light color contrast is also as advanced as the appearance,After integrating the electronic pocket gear into the double-spoke steering wheel,The storage lift completed at the front end of the armrest box divides the cockpit into two,A large number of functions are realized through knobs with metal edging,The suspension screen on the central control has achieved a dual 12.3-inch layout,And through the Lion system supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, four areas are available、Voice control with a wider control range,There are also more functions such as face recognition、HUA head-up display。
CR-V is relatively traditional here, a catwalk structure retains a three-spoke steering wheel, mechanical gear knob and through-type air conditioning outlet decoration, although it also has a large number of physical control knobs like Yaoguang, but whether it is the central suspension of the 10.1-inch touch screen + 7.0-inch instrument display screen, or these case decorations, they all seem relatively simple, and the sense of luxury is indeed a little worse. Although the Honda Connect is not as feature-rich as the Lion system, it can also provide voice control for air conditioning and windows, as well as a host of remote functions.
In terms of assisted driving, both cars provide hill assist, steep hill descent, and support L2 level assisted driving, among them, Yaoguang emphasizes safety, and has more active safety assistance systems including door opening warning, rear collision warning, and lane merge assistance, while CR-V's Honda SENSING emphasizes more comprehensive assistance, which can achieve adaptive cruise in the full speed range, and also realizes 10 airbag coverage of the whole car, which is better than passive safety more comprehensive.
In terms of comfort and convenience, both cars are laid out with rear hidden glass, a panoramic sunroof that can be opened, an electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirror, and leather seats that support electric adjustment in the front row. Dual-zone independent air conditioning with air purification, as well as front soundproof glass, rain-sensing wipers, etc., are the winners in terms of comfort and convenience.
In terms of power machinery, Yaoguang got the Kunpeng Power 2.0T turbocharged engine + 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission combination, the maximum power of 192kW and the maximum torque of 400N·m are quite outstanding, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.6L/100km is not high, and the overall performance will be more explosive, while the front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension emphasize stability and comfort, which is relatively modest.
CR-V's Earth Dream 1.5T turbocharged engine + CVT continuously variable transmission combination is actually tuned to be more sporty and positive, the maximum power of 142kW and the maximum torque of 243N·m are far less than Yaoguang, but the starting response and rear burst are very abundant, 7.31L/100km WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is also acceptable, and its suspension structure is the same as Yaoguang, but the tuning is very sporty, with variable steering ratio technology, stability is also There is also control, and the pointing is more precise, which may be the ability of "Honda Dafa".
Write at the end
Chery Chonggao has actually been ridiculed for many years, and Qoros has finally failed, and Xingtu has experienced a bad start, but with the stacking of products and the continuous improvement of the parent company's platform technology, its sales volume is also rising. And when it falls on Yaoguang, whether it is design, configuration, or even some intuitive data, it has completed the lead for CR-V, of course, the latter's maturity in mechanical tuning determines its core advantages at the dynamic level, but if you want a better comprehensive car experience, Xingtu Yaoguang will still be our recommendation.
