My budget is 130,000 yuan. I want to buy a small joint venture car. Which car should I choose? At present, my favorites are the Lavida Plus and the 14th generation Sylphy . Below, I will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two cars, hoping to be helpful to you. The budget is just over 130,000 yuan. According to this budget, the 14th generation Sylphy should be a good choice. Like the Lavida Plus, the 1.5L self-priming version is more suitable for home use. I have test driven the brand new 1.5L self-aspirated Lavida Plus and Comfort Edition many times. I have also test-drove the 14th generation Sylphy several times, and the test-driving experience of these two cars was quite profound.
First, let’s take a look at the appearance of these two cars. The overall appearance design of the Lavida Plus is more business-like and stable, while the overall appearance design of the 14th generation Sylphy is more youthful and sporty. With these two exterior designs, it's really like carrots and vegetables, everyone has their own preference.
Let's take a look at the space. For example, a person with a height of 172 cm sits in the back row of the Lavida Plus. The leg room is about two fists, the head room is very sufficient, and there are four more fingers. Yes. The biggest shortcoming of the space is that the platform in the middle is quite high, which affects the riding experience of those in the middle. The legroom of the 14th generation Sylphy is about the distance between two fists. In terms of legroom, the performance of the two cars is indeed comparable. As for the head space, the 14th generation Sylphy is a bit cramped, with only about three fingers, and the middle floor is slightly lower than the Lavida Plus, so in terms of overall space performance, the two cars are basically the same.
14 generation Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L self-priming engine, while the self-priming version of Lavida Plus is equipped with a 1.5L engine. Although the power performance of the two cars is very average, it can only be said to meet the standards of family transportation. After a test drive, I found that the power of the 14th generation Sylphy is actually better. The 1.5L self-priming Lavida Plus accelerates from zero to 100 mph in 13 seconds. In terms of transmission, the Sylphy is equipped with a CVT gearbox, while the self-priming Lavida Plus is equipped with an Aisin 6AT. The smoothness of the two cars is relatively good. Well, the quality and stability of these two transmissions are relatively reliable. If compared carefully, the transmission of Aisin 6AT is better than CVT. After all, the CVT cannot be driven too aggressively, so there are not many requirements in this regard. In terms of transmission, the Lavida Plus self-priming version is slightly better.
Let’s talk about the chassis again. In fact, the chassis tuning styles of these two cars are completely different. The chassis of Lavida Plus is more difficult to adjust, and the comfort is indeed a bit lacking. The chassis has good texture and durability. The chassis adjustment of the 14th generation Sylphy is relatively soft, and the comfort is indeed better than that of the Lavida Plus. If you consider home use and comfort, of course the Sylphy is better. After all, it is known as a large mobile sofa.
To sum up the performance of their three major parts, the chassis of Lavida Plus has a thicker texture when driving and is more stable than the 14th generation Sylphy. Moreover, when driving at high speed, Lavida Plus does not have any sense of suspension, and the Aisin 6AT equipped with Lavida Plus self-priming is indeed a good selling point. This gearbox is indeed very stable, but the power is indeed too weak. The chassis of the 14th generation Sylphy is generally more comfortable, and its handling on bumpy roads is better than that of the Lavida Plus. However, it floats at high speeds and is not as stable as the Volkswagen. However, the seats are really comfortable to sit on and are particularly soft, providing you with a very comfortable driving experience. In terms of driving comfort, it is indeed much better than Lavida Plus. But I think the chassis of the 14th generation Sylphy is a bit thin, and the texture of the chassis is not as good as that of the Lavida Plus. In terms of control, it is not as good as the Lavida Plus, but the value retention and quality of both cars are very durable.
Judging from the market terminal discounts, the Lavida Plus is better than the 14th generation Sylphy, and the Lavida Plus can be discounted to 31,000 yuan in most places. The naked car is only 62,000, while the lowest price of Sylphy is 68,000. In fact, with the same configuration, the final prices of the two cars are actually similar, and the quality performance of the two cars is quite stable. No matter which one you choose, it's a good choice. My buying suggestion is that if you care about the sportiness and power of the appearance, as well as the chassis and driving comfort, then you should choose the 14th generation Sylphy. If you care about handling and other aspects, Lavida Plus is also a good choice.It is worth mentioning that the fuel consumption of the two cars is almost the same, only 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers. They both drink 92-octane gasoline. Calculated, it costs about 50 cents per kilometer. It is still economical for home use. In this regard, how will you choose? Welcome to forward the discussion.
