In the past one or two years, with the continuous involution of the domestic automobile market, the prices of many auto products have shown a continuous downward trend, especially some luxury brand models. But now that it is so involuted, the terminal quotations of many luxury brand models can indeed give a lot of surprises to friends, especially second- and third-tier luxury brand models.
For example, this Jaguar XEL, as a rear-drive medium-sized car with a length of 4778mm and a wheelbase of 2935mm, although the official guide price is not expensive in the middle of luxury brand medium-sized cars, it has also reached the level of 300,000 yuan. However, Jaguar Land Rover has always been known for its discounts, and now Jaguar XEL's discount exceeds 130,000 yuan, and the lowest price has also come to the level of 167,800 yuan, which is equivalent to the level of Camry, Magotan, Passat, Accord and other joint venture medium-sized cars.
Jaguar XEL is still very British in terms of design, especially the Jaguar Peugeot-like oval grille and the full of streamlined vehicle contours, plus multi-spoke wheels, all of which make this car look very gentlemanly, without that sense of jumping, focusing on a calm.
In the interior, Jaguar's latest style is a three-screen interconnection system composed of a full LCD instrument, a large central control screen and an operation screen, which enhances the sense of science and technology of this car. However, from my personal point of view, if this car can use Jaguar Land Rover's knob-type gear shift mechanism, it may improve the sense of luxury in the car even more obviously.
In terms of power, Jaguar XEL is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, but the engine is divided into high and low power, of which the maximum horsepower of the low-power model is 200Ps, the peak torque is 320N·m, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.3 seconds, and the maximum horsepower of the high-power model is 250Ps, and the peak torque is 365N· m, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.3 seconds, and as a medium-sized sedan product, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of this car is about 8L, which is considered fuel-free.
In terms of chassis suspension, this car is worth mentioning. First of all, it is equipped with a front double wishbone rear multi-link independent suspension, and adopts a rear-wheel drive form, plus this car adopts an all-aluminum body structure to achieve effective weight reduction, so the handling performance of this car is quite strong and very fun to drive.
In terms of configuration, the entry model of Jaguar XEL is equipped with lane departure warning, active braking, front collision warning, adaptive cruise, lane keeping, remote start, segmented sunroof, leather steering wheel, imitation leather seats, electric control of the main and passenger seats, automatic air conditioning and other configurations, and the overall configuration level is very high.
So in fact, judging from the quotation, the purchase value of the XEL, which is currently discontinued and on sale, is still relatively high. Of course, this is purely from the point of view of price, because the all-aluminum body of this car and the identity of luxury brand models mean that although the price of this car after preferential treatment is similar to that of the general joint venture brand medium-sized sedan, there is still a big gap in maintenance and repair costs, which must be known, if you can afford it, you can't afford it, it will be very embarrassing.
