The “engine throttle” incident, which had been making a lot of noise, was thought to have come to an end with the launch of the recall plan. However, many car owners have recently complained that the solution to the phenomenon of increased oil is ineffective, and even recalled vehicles will experience performance degradation. Therefore, Honda has once again been pushed to the cusp of public opinion. How could Honda engine technology, which has a good reputation and has always been called “black technology”, have such a weird problem, and the attitude of solving the problem is so evasive. Is this the rhythm of death?
Guandao and UR-V, which are favored by Xiaoyou, have not escaped the “claw” of increased oil. The 9AT gearbox originally matched with the 2.0T model has a large number of oil leaks, which is prohibitive. This time, even the 1.5T model can not be purchased with confidence. If you are also interested in this model, Xiaoyou still advises you to wait and see with money and be cautious about “entering the pit”. After all, there are so many choices, and there is more than one model that can meet the same needs. Today Xiaoyou is here to recommend a few worry-free and cost-effective large five-seater SUVs for your reference.
No.1 Dongfeng Nissan – Loulan
Guide price of entry-level models: 238,800 yuan
Speaking of this model, you may be a little unfamiliar. It sold well in the North American market, but in China, due to the low awareness of this model, the tepid situation and the high price, the sales volume is relatively sluggish. But in fact, Loulan is a model with enough personality and excellent comprehensive product strength, and its product positioning is also very similar to Crown Road.
In terms of appearance, Murano adopts Nissan’s new design language and highly follows the appearance of the Resonance concept car, which is unique among the mid-level SUV models with moderate styling. The large V-shaped front face, the boomerang-style headlight shape, and the vehicle’s rounded, plump, three-dimensional, and muscular lines belong to a very individual type.
In terms of interior, compared with the very individual appearance, Loulan adopts the Nissan family-style interior styling. Although it is not innovative enough, Nissan can definitely be called a master in creating an interior atmosphere. A lot of leather wraps are used on the top of the instrument panel and the side of the center console. Although the interior styling is not much different from X-Trail and other models, the creation of a luxurious atmosphere is much stronger. At the same time, the interior of Murano continues Nissan’s consistent exquisiteness in terms of workmanship, and the home atmosphere reflected in the interior of other Nissan models can also be felt on Murano. With a body size of 4897*1908*1691mm and a wheelbase of 2830mm, it can satisfy all your fantasies in terms of space and comfort.
In terms of power, Loulan has two sets of powertrains to choose from. The entry-level model uses a combination of a 2.5L inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and a CVT gearbox. The maximum power is 137kW and the maximum torque is 229N m. The high-end hybrid model uses a combination of a 2.5T inline four-cylinder supercharged engine with a CVT gearbox and an electric motor. The combined maximum power is 195kW and the maximum torque is 490N m. With a light start and smooth shifting, Loulan’s comprehensive driving experience is still dominated by comfort and stability.
No.2 SAIC-GM Chevrolet—Explorer
Guide price of entry-level models: 174,900 yuan
Explorer is a model with balanced performance in all aspects and high cost performance. It is based on the Equinox model, the most popular SUV of General Motors in North America. It uses the same platform as Envision, and the top model is equipped with less The golden powertrain of 2.0T+9AT is consistent with Guandao/UR-V.
In terms of appearance, the Explorer adopts the Chevrolet family-style design style, and the vehicle is quite stylish, majestic and tough. From the Explorer, you can see the tough lines that American cars should have, especially the U-shaped lines on both sides of the hood, which is easily reminiscent of the cooling hole structure of American large-displacement muscle cars, with a strong visual Impact. The front air intake grille is integrated with the headlights, and it looks quite aggressive, and the whole series is equipped with an active air intake grille as standard.
In terms of interior, compared with the highly recognizable appearance, the visual effect of the interior is relatively flat, and the overall layout still adopts the Chevrolet family style. However, in terms of details, the application of overall materials and workmanship do reveal the high-end sense that a flagship car should have. The layout of various functions on the center console is easy to operate, and the convenience of physical buttons is also excellent. The body size is 4652mm×1843mm×1684mm, and the wheelbase is 2725mm. Although compared with Muran, the overall body size is slightly inferior, but the excellent space utilization makes it very good in terms of seating space and trunk space.
In terms of power, the Explorer’s low-end model uses a combination of a 1.5T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 6AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 132kW and a maximum torque of 275N m. As the main mass-traveling model, due to the weight of only 1.6 tons and the relatively sensitive throttle adjustment, the Explorer does not have the feeling of a “small horse-drawn cart” at the beginning, and responds quickly and is very brisk. The high-end model uses a combination of a 2.0T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 9AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 191kW and a maximum torque of 353N m, and is equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system.
No.3 WAY—VV7
Guide price of entry-level models: 169,800 yuan
Now that we are talking about a big five-seater SUV, how can we not mention the “proud” of our own brand – VV7? As the first product of a high-end brand launched by the first domestic self-owned brand car company, it has an important mission, and it has indeed been endowed with capital worthy of “tsundere”. Rich configuration, affordable price, high-grade workmanship and materials, excellent chassis comfort and so on. However, it was once the focus of public opinion for being so “brilliant”, that is, high fuel consumption. However, in Xiaoyou’s opinion, it has not yet reached the point of “gas tiger”. If you can accept the fuel consumption performance of Haval H6, then the performance of VV7 should not surprise you too much.
In terms of appearance, no matter from which angle you look at it, the appearance of VV7 is quite amazing. The whole vehicle adopts the design style of sports car and has a strong sense of movement. The front face adopts the “panther-style” bionic shape, which has a very impactful visual effect and is extremely aggressive. The roof line is in a slip-back style, and the tail is full in shape, coupled with the unique exhaust on both sides of the S sports model. If you only look at the appearance, it is easy to put it in the same camp as Jaguar F-PACE and Maserati Levante, which invisibly improves its own style.
In terms of interior, the interior of VV7 offers four color options: black, black gray, black red, and black brown. The creation of the atmosphere is excellent. The center console is covered with a large area of slush-plastic material, and almost all the parts that can touch the body are wrapped with soft materials. The workmanship level is completely in line with luxury brands. The combination of full LCD instrument, floating central control display, barrel-type air-conditioning outlet, and unique flat-bottom design steering wheel takes into account the sporty atmosphere, sense of luxury and sense of technology. The body size of 4765mm×1931mm×1655mm belongs to the category of normal medium-sized SUV, and the wheelbase of 2950mm is quite eye-catching, which is a good guarantee for the rear leg space. However, affected by the design of the tail box, the performance of the trunk space can only be said to be very average, and it does not take any advantage among models of the same level.
In terms of power, all VV7 series use a combination of a 2.0T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The maximum power is 172kW and the maximum torque is 360N m. Although the data is impressive, but dragging a body close to 2 tons, the measured acceleration from 100 kilometers is about 10 seconds, and the handling is relatively average. The adjustment that focuses on comfort cannot meet the more severe control test.
No.4 SAIC Volkswagen—Tiguan L
Guide price of entry-level models: 223,800 yuan
The original compact SUV Tiguan is a mid-level SUV derived from the overall elongation and enlargement, coupled with the layout of only 5 seats, the original cramped space has now become its biggest advantage. The aura of the “sacred car” coupled with the attribute of “lengthening”, its strength should not be underestimated.
In terms of appearance, Tiguan L continues the front face design of the overseas Tiguan model. The headlights use LED light sources and are connected to the grille. The front bumper is also relatively strong, which looks very atmospheric. In terms of the shape of the rear, the design of the triangular window at the rear is different from that of the imported version, and the overall appearance is similar to that of the imported models. The brand-new taillight group adopts the “F” shape of the LED light source, which looks neat and elegant.
In terms of interior, Tiguan L continues the typical Volkswagen style, which is novel and fashionable without losing craftsmanship. The layout of the center console is simple and clear, and it is wrapped with soft materials. The materials are generous and the workmanship is fine. It is matched with black piano paint and dark wood grain veneer, while satisfying the aesthetics of different age groups. The body size is 4712mm×1839mm×1673mm, the rear wheelbase has been extended to 2791mm, and the designer arranged the rear seats as far back as possible to obtain ample leg room.
In terms of power, all Tiguan L series use a combination of a 2.0T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine and a DSG 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. There are two versions of high and low power. The low power version has a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 320N m; the high power version has a maximum power of 162kW and a maximum torque of 350N m and is equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system. The low power version can fully cope with daily use, and the high power version is even more powerful, accelerating from 100 kilometers to less than 7 seconds. The original German technology also takes into account fuel economy and comfort, and performs very well.
Summarize
To sum up, if there is no rigid demand for seven seats, a large five-seater SUV is actually a more rational choice. You don’t have to worry about Zhongyi Guandao/UR-V but dare not make a move like Xiaoyou. In fact, there are many models that can meet the same needs. Loulan is comfortable, Explorer is practical, Tiguan L is sporty, and VV7 is high-end and cheap. Each one has its own character and advantages to meet the needs of different people, so which one do you like?
