The 200,000-class 2.0T sedan market, which is increasingly thin, seems to have little distinct existence with the large-scale invasion of small cars. However, in the face of 80% cars on the road, the reasonable and relatively approachable prices have given many people reasons to choose them.
Recommended model: 2019 28T luxury model
Actual transaction price: about 230,000 yuan.
On the aspect of appearance, as a brand-new modification of a classic old car, the brand-new not only maintains the consistent sense of grace of the car with the help of extended lines, but also sublimates the freshness of a classic car with the help of flying wing front grille and transverse metal trim. After all, as a cart over 5 meters, "the atmosphere is the least worrying issue in this car.
At the level of interior decoration, let’s get straight to the point, the new body is better in technology and design, which properly maintains the dignity of the "soft-mounted pavilion". But too classic design language, in today’s 9102, does lack some freshness, and even can see some old-fashioned. Despite the increase of technology such as Type-C interface and touch screen, the whole is still not fresh.
In terms of space and ride level, as a horizontal front-wheel drive car that is more than 5 meters and close to 3 meters, space seems to be the least worrying problem, and the bulge in the middle of the rear floor is also controlled relatively subtly. The introduction of active noise reduction technology also provides and ensures a relatively excellent NVH level.
On the power level, the 2019 model is completely refitted with a low 2.0T Although it lacks the arrogance of the previous model in terms of absolute power, the newly integrated cylinder closing technology and lower turbine intervention revolutions have given it more affinity for home use. The newly adjusted 9AT has also completely got rid of the brand’s consistent impression of "slow stagnation". It has become smart enough and considerate, and with the cooperation of 2.0T, it has also faced more than 85% of the roads, and it has the slightest confidence.
At the control level, it is a car with a "luxury brand illusion". When you drive it, you will unconsciously think that you are driving a car from a luxury brand.
This feeling comes from two aspects: first, the vehicle shows a very strong sense of solidity and heaviness during driving and turning, and the thick banging sound when passing through the speed bump can bring more psychological satisfaction to the driver, and better sound insulation and noise reduction also create a more advanced interior atmosphere; Secondly, the stitching leather and wood grain decoration in the car will not stimulate the driver’s desire to control, and commuting comfortably is the best way to drive this car.
Recommended car model: 2019 330TSIDSG leading model
Actual transaction price: about 200,000 yuan.
In terms of appearance, as an original car, the lines of the car emphasize toughness, and the shape maintains the original flavor of the European version, with clear overall style and quite good design aesthetics.
On the interior level, the integrated air conditioning air outlet is the highlight, which has the unique charm of the original European car. The length of 2866mm, although not to the level of leapfrog, is also a good illustration of the decency that a B-class car should have.
At the control level, the model also has a relatively distinct German flavor and has quite good toughness. On the one hand, it can properly resolve the small vibration of the road surface, on the other hand, it also has the thick and solid characteristic of European cars, which can make drivers drive it quickly with confidence.
From the power level, from the point of view, the EA888 third-generation model is indeed a high-level model in the 2.0T class, with cutting-edge technologies such as double injection and double circulation. However, the owner has explained to some extent that the phenomenon of abnormal reduction, which once plagued the second generation model of EA888, has also been solved relatively well. Constrained by the mechanical form, it is a little lazy when it starts slowly and is congested, which requires the driver’s throttle intervention to a certain extent, but it is difficult for you to feel frustrated. The smooth loop and highway are the stage of its resurrection, and the dynamic response is faster and more efficient than traditional AT.
Recommended model: 2019 T5 Zhiyuan Edition?
The actual transaction price is about 230 thousand.
S60L seems to be a car that lacks bright spots. Old platform, horizontal predecessor, imminent replacement: everything points to the unfavorable aspects. The appearance and interior do not constitute its product advantages, especially in the context of the younger consumers of luxury brands in 2018.
The shape design tends to be stable and conservative, and the brand-new ID design of Raytheon’s hammer headlights is not provided. The interior style is almost dull in pragmatism. Although the material selection is extremely high, although the technology is quite different from the "mid-end brand", it is hard to make people feel that this is what a "luxury brand" should look like at first glance. At the driving level, it has inherited a consistent "car split": under the gentle appearance, it has a solid and tight handling feeling and a high handling limit.
On the positive side, such control settings are indeed what European cars should look like; But from another perspective, such control settings will also affect ride comfort. The high power output of 245+8AT of the T5 model is also a kind of emboldened confidence. And its advantages are: the safety design of a group of "persecuted paranoia patients" and the brand image of affinity and temperature. Although excellent safety is a compulsory subject for all luxury brands, it seems that only one can use it as a selling point of products. The cage made of boron steel used in S60L model, the standard CitySafety in the whole system and the highest rating of TopSafetyPick+ in American IIHS safety list also prove that this statement is true.
Elite car owners’ group image is another intuitive attraction of the brand. Buying a luxury brand is often a kind of identity, and the image of the owner with high education and high quality will indeed make some consumers flock to it.
