【Shopping guide after you have a car】Recently, my uncles have asked me the same question, how about the new Highlander , is it good? When I asked about the needs, I always said that the family needs a big car, especially those who like larger SUVs with 7 seats. The New Highlander is not only big enough, but it also has 7 seats and a hybrid. It is not too fragrant. The uncles were almost blind. Since I am a car reviewer, I come to ask for my opinion, or just want to gain a sense of recognition. My response to this is generally to ask them to take a look at the Odyssey . There are really 7 people who need a more comfortable travel, and it is obviously more rational for a home MPV that can comfortably seat 7 adults.
But the uncles naturally have their own insistence. They say that MPV is not as good as SUV, and it is difficult to cope with the rural roads in their hometown that are worse than Fangcun road in Guangzhou, and it is difficult to withstand the mountain road that is gentler than Nankun Mountain . Give them some steps. After all, the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation is to respect the elders. So here I recommend a few joint venture 7-seater SUVs that are not bad in product quality and offer huge discounts.
「参考」汉兰达指导价:25.88-34.88万元
雪佛兰开拓者
官方指导价:22.99-33.39万元
开拓者是雪佛兰同步引进中国的纯美式7座SUV,其在北美的It is positioned as a medium-to-large size, and there are full-size Saabs and Tahoes on top of it, but those two cars are basically only suitable for the car environment in North America where the land is sparsely populated, and they are likely to be unacceptable in other areas, so the Trailblazer The same size as the benchmark Highlander (actually slightly larger than the Highlander), a medium and large SUV equipped with a 2.0T engine is obviously more in line with the Chinese car environment.
The appearance of the Trailblazer is particularly domineering, especially the Redline version and the high-end RS version. The split headlights are very recognizable, the suspended roof and the sharp body lines are also quite sharp, which perfectly integrates American domineering and design sense. The interior part also sweeps away the sloppiness of traditional American cars. The overall workmanship and design are not inferior to mainstream models of the same class. The space and seat comfort are also at the leading level in the same class, after all, the size is there.
In terms of power, the power specifications of 2.0T+9AT are good, and in terms of the positioning of a family SUV, 237 horsepower is absolutely sufficient power, and there is no problem with the shift logic, and the high-end takes into account ride comfort. The driving quality is also good, especially the chassis adjustment is quite solid, the ditch and hurdles can be crossed in one go, and the sound insulation has also maintained a high level.
Ford Explorer
official guide price: 309,800 to 399,800 yuan The Trailblazers mentioned are all positioned as medium and large SUVs, which belong to the same level of models in North America. The biggest feature of the
explorer is that it is derived from a four-wheel drive platform with a longitudinal engine. From the perspective of mechanical structure, this is a relatively advanced platform. This also makes the explorer's appearance proportions look different from other cars of the same class. The short front overhang, long wheelbase and long rear overhang look more stretched and magnificent. With the domineering American chrome-plated large wheels, it is really impressive. field. By the way, the standard police cars in many places in North America are now explorers, which shows how strong the explorers are. In terms of space, the Explorer can easily create a large enough seating space with its large size. You don’t have to worry about this, but the only static problem with the Explorer is the comfort of the rear seats.
In terms of power, the explorer's 2.3T engineThe engine is the same as the Mustang, and it is equipped with a 10AT gearbox. The horsepower exceeds 300 horsepower, which is one of the best figures in its class. It actually looks good. The power smoothness and response are not bad, and the NVH is also satisfactory.
Hyundai Paris Di
official guide price: RMB 298,800-329,800
Finally, my recommendation is Hyundai Paris Di, which is a purely imported model. In this era when turbocharged is in power and the trend of electrification is prevailing, it is really cool to be able to buy a large-displacement self-priming six-cylinder car. Paris Di is also a medium and large SUV specially developed by Hyundai for the North American market, and it is in direct competition with the Highlander.
Parisdi’s V6 engine has a horsepower of 272 horsepower, which is matched with 8AT. The actual driving experience is different from other turbo cars of the same level. The confidence is what the turbocharged engine can't give you, especially the continuous stamina in the middle and rear sections, and the understated speed-up experience, which really makes people have to sigh the truth of "displacement is justice".
In terms of static experience, Paris Di’s appearance also has a strong American style. The just right chrome-plated decoration reveals a sense of luxury. The burly posture does not lose the aura, and there is no need to worry about the space. It is slightly better than that Japanese car (the space utilization rate of the American series has always been average, and the interior passenger space has also shrunk after the Toyota TNGA). More importantly, the workmanship of Paris Di is really good. Imported cars are imported cars .
