This year, the domestic car market focuses on a volume, volume price, volume product power, in short, the market competition is becoming more and more fierce, however, no matter how the market changes, hard power is the most important for consumers. In such an environment, most consumers buy a car with sincerity and focus on cost performance. At the same time, the "face" effect of the joint venture brand and the cost-effective advantage of the independent brand coexist, which makes the choice more complicated. For example, in the 100,000-level SUV market segment, the Blue Electric E5 Glory Edition and Toyota Fenglanda have attracted much attention, each with its own unique charm and advantages, but who is the best choice in this class?
Cockpit: A collision of sophistication and simplicity
Nowadays, whether it is independent or joint venture, the design is very careful, but how to choose mainly depends on their respective aesthetics, so I will not go into too much detail here. In contrast, the cockpit is built to reflect more sincerity. Blue Electric E5 Glory Edition and Toyota Fenglanda have their own advantages in interior style, Toyota Fenglanda is biased towards sports and simplicity, soft materials are not used less, and two screens and physical buttons are also arranged, and the practicality is in place, but the traditional shift lever and the mechanical key start of the entry model are indeed somewhat derailed from the times.
Blue Electric E5 Glory Edition focuses on a calm atmosphere, in soft materials, leather, chrome materials, wood grain trim applications are not stingy, the new model also upgrades the same color integrated design, the overall more harmonious texture, coupled with the application of micro velvet full soft packaging technology, delicate and advanced touch. In addition, the blue electric E5 Glory Edition is also equipped with an electronic shift lever as standard, a 7-inch LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch central control screen, built-in HUAWEI HiCar 3.0, AutoNavi map, etc., which are better than Fenglander in terms of use experience and localization.
Space: Medium vs. compact
The cockpit is important, practicality is king, for most consumers, the larger the space, the more practical, although the two models are the main practical, but the blue electric E5 Glory Edition is a medium-sized SUV after all, and it is basically a dimensionality reduction strike positioning compact SUV Fenglanda. Specifically, the body size of the former is 4670*1900*1705mm, with a wheelbase of 2777mm, and the body size of the latter is 4485*1825*1620mm, with a wheelbase of 2640mm.
From the point of view of space building,Blue electric E5Glory EditionIn addition to the conventional 5-seat layout,There are also 7 seats to choose from,Because of the size advantage,The actual riding space of the former has reached the level of a large 5-seater,The latter has stronger expansibility,There is no problem at all to meet the needs of large families。 The most important thing is that the second row of seats in the 5-seater model of the Blue Electric E5 Glory Edition, and the second and third rows of seats in the 7-seater model can be folded down proportionally to form a flat storage space, which can be used as storage or become a large bed room in seconds. Looking at Fenglanda again, although the back row can also be put down, it cannot be flat, and there are obvious protrusions on both sides, which greatly reduces the practicality.
Power: Plug-in hybrid vs. fuel showdown
Power is one of the core competitiveness of automobiles. As a representative work of the old joint venture car company, Toyota Fenglanda's power system is mature and reliable. The Blue Electric E5 Glory Edition is equipped with Fodi Power, which also has the strength of more than 4 million installed capacity, stable performance, and a good reputation. The biggest difference between the power of the two models is that the former is a traditional fuel vehicle, and the latter is a plug-in hybrid model.
Specifically, the Fenglander is equipped with a 2.0L+CVT power combination, with a maximum power of 126kW and a maximum torque of 205N·m. Look at the blue electric E5 glory version, the comprehensive power of the system is 211kW, the maximum torque of the system is 435N·m, the power is significantly stronger, and it can be driven by pure electricity, which not only accelerates quickly, but also is quieter.
As for the economy and practicality that Toyota Fenglanda is proud of, it seems that there is no obvious advantage, the official WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.15L/100km, and the blue electric E5 Glory Edition uses hybrid mode when the power is sufficient, WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 1.35L/100km, even in the feeding state, it is only 5.4L/100km, which is better than Fenglanda.
What's more,Blue electric E5Glory Edition100kmNEDC pure electric battery life,Usually charge at night,Use the car during the day,Basically no need to use oil,The cost is further reduced,Plus equipped with fast charging and external discharge,Very practical,The experience in self-driving travel and camping is above Fenglanda。 In addition, the chassis of the two models is also worth mentioning, the front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, but the Fenglanda rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, and the blue electric E5 Glory Edition is a multi-link independent suspension, the shock absorption effect is naturally better, and the driving experience is better.
Configuration: cost-effective competition
In addition to power, cost performance is also the focus of consideration when buying a car, and most consumers are actually more sensitive to price. Although the blue electric E5 glory version and Fenglander are both 100,000-level models, the price is still quite different, the official guide price of the former is 99,800 ~ 119,800 yuan, and it is also exempt from purchase tax, the latter is 125,800 ~ 184,800 yuan, even if you count the discounts, the entry model will be in the early 100,000s, the configuration is not high, only equipped with halogen headlights, plastic steering wheel, fabric seats, etc., etc., and then look, the blue electric E5 glory version, the entry is LED headlights, leather steering wheel/seats, and it is also equipped with a reversing image, Cruise control, AutoNavi map, remote start, electric sunroof, rear seat air vents, etc., these are also not available in the entry model of Fenglanda.
Taking the most popular mid-range model as an example, the guide price of the Landian E5 Glory Edition Premium Type is 109,800, and the guide price of the Fenglanda Elite Edition is 125,800, and the price of the latter is about 110,000 after the discount, so the prices of the two models are basically the same. But in terms of configuration,Blue Electric E5Glory Edition Premium Wheels are larger,It is also equipped with door opening warning、Rear collision warning、Low-speed driving warning、Built-in dash cam、Steep hill descent、360-degree panoramic image、Cruise control、Gaode map、Electric trunk、Keyless entry、LED headlights、Electric sunroof、Electric folding of exterior mirrors、12.3-inch central control screen、Leather steering wheel、Leather seats、Main driver electric folding、Rear seat air outlet, etc.,All of them are not available in the Fenglanda Elite Edition,So it seems, The blue electric E5 Glory Edition is not only more cost-effective, but the configuration will be much higher, even if there is a discount for Fenglanda, it is beyond reach.
After a careful comparison, it can be seen that, objectively speaking, Toyota Fenglanda still has certain advantages in terms of durability, practicality and cost performance after discounts, which is also Toyota's consistent strength, but compared with today's independent brands, these advantages have become less and less obvious, such as the blue electric E5 glory version, not only in terms of price, but also in space, configuration, power and other aspects are comprehensively leading, more in line with the current consumer expectations and needs for 100,000 SUVs. Therefore, it can be said that the Blue Electric E5 Glory Edition is the best choice for 100,000-level SUVs in this era.
