Farewell to the bus and subway, the "entry fee" of 6-brand cars is as low as 50 thousand

During the Spring Festival holiday in 2020, which was swept by the novel coronavirus epidemic, public transportation became one of the main places where the virus spread. As a result, subways, trains and short-distance passenger trains in many cities are out of service, and taxis and network cars are restricted, which makes the city and intercity travel only rely on cars; On the other hand, in order to prevent infection, many people subjectively try to avoid taking public transport, and even online rides are "if you can sit, don't sit".

In this context, the convenience of private cars is once again highlighted, and its impact will be the early release of the demand for many rigid cars. Consumers who were vacillating between "buying a car or traveling by subway" are now more inclined to own a private car as soon as possible. At present, this kind of consumption mentality has appeared in some stores of 4S. According to our visit to some 4S stores after the holiday, many consumers' car buying psychology has reversed compared with that before the holiday-it is very common to rush to pick up the car regardless of the discount range, among which entry-level models and family cars with lower price thresholds have attracted much attention. Therefore, when returning to work after the holiday, I also hope to comment on and recommend some entry-level models of mainstream brands in view of the sudden increase in rigid demand brought about by the epidemic, hoping to help you grasp the balance between economic benefits and quality assurance.

The first article focuses on cars, which are characterized by a slightly lower starting threshold than SUVs. Usually, 60,000 to 70,000 can already buy compact models with relatively large space and exquisite, and you can also touch the threshold of joint venture vehicles, while SUVs are basically small at the price of 60,000 to 70,000. Of course, entry-level cars are relatively more suitable for families with rigid travel needs based on towns. In short, looking at the road conditions, there is no risk of scraping the chassis on the usual route, so you can start with confidence. Another advantage is that the threshold is relatively low, and it is more friendly for the elderly and children to get on the bus.

China brand >>

Geely Automobile-Yuan Jing, Emgrand and Binrui

The budget threshold of the vision is about 50,000 yuan for manual transmission and 60,000 yuan for automatic transmission. Emgrand 65,438 438+ 10/00,000, starting from about 60,000 manual gears and 70,000 automatic gears. Yuan Jing and Emgrand are Geely brands with earlier launch time and higher cumulative sales in history. The engines of entry models are mainly 1.5L naturally aspirated engines, which are similar to those of Volkswagen Santana, Volkswagen Bora and Toyota VIOS. Buying Vision and Emgrand is also a relatively conservative and safe choice. Both cars have a relatively large space, and each car is 4.6 meters long, which is a standard compact car.

The difference between Emgrand and Vision is that Emgrand's positioning is relatively higher, and the small advantage of space is secondary, mainly the design and interior grade are higher. Emgrand is also the only China brand 10 car in the last five years. Through constant changes, the car's sense of grade is constantly improved, making it newer than Santana with the same price or slightly higher price, and higher than Bora and other configurations.

Binrui is a brand-new model launched by Geely in recent two years. Based on BMA platform, the architecture is newer than Emgrand. Therefore, in the powertrain, Binrui is also more advanced, equipped with 1.0T three-cylinder turbocharged engine. In terms of price, the starting threshold of Binrui's manual transmission model is around 70,000 yuan, and the automatic transmission is around 80,000 yuan. Binrui and Emgrand have similar positioning, but Binrui's design is obviously more novel and more attractive to young people. Emgrand's setting is to give consideration to youthfulness in maturity, and the corresponding population is relatively wider.

As for the prospect, I think it is a reasonable threshold for family cars. Although it is the most entry-level model among the three cars, it should be said that the quality is still guaranteed and the balance is better. I'm not confident if I'm below the prospect.

SAIC bus? -? Roewe i5

The minimum model guide price of Roewe i5 manual transmission is 68,900 yuan, and the preferential price was 59,900 yuan years ago, but the discount may be recovered slightly after the Spring Festival. This car uses 1.5L engine, in which the threshold of automatic transmission is much higher than that of manual transmission, with a guide price of 87,900 and a discount of more than 70,000.

What I recommend is the low-end model, that is, the Ling Hao version of manual 4G Internet access, which is within 70,000 after the discount. Compared with the lowest-end models, the configuration has been significantly improved, including upgrading drum brakes to disc brakes, adding reversing radar, increasing the interconnection between cars and 8-inch screens. This car is the trump card configuration of Roewe model, in addition, it also adds many comfort configurations such as keyless start and entry, PM2.5 filtering and so on. Roewe i5 is suitable for consumers with high configuration requirements-they can enjoy a complete high-end car configuration experience at a lower price.

Dongfeng Shen Feng-Yi Xuan

The starting price of this car is 69,900 yuan, which is higher than that of many China brands such as Roewe i5, but it is "expensive" for a reason. Although Dongfeng Shen Feng, whose annual sales volume is less than 654.38 million vehicles, is a small brand, Dongfeng is indeed a big enterprise. Therefore, this small brand actually launched a brand-new model based on the advanced platform architecture of globalization on 20 19. Yi Xuan is a CMP platform jointly developed by Dongfeng and PSA, and Dongfeng has invested 65.438+0.5 billion yuan in this platform.

Yi Xuan has a new look and feel, coupled with the advanced electrification architecture given by the new platform, so Geely Binrui felt great pressure after launching Yi Xuan. Yi Xuan's interior is advanced enough, and its visual and tactile effects are very similar to those of Binrui. For example, the two materials covered on the runway are soft. In addition, its locomotive system Windlink is also a first-line level. The CPU is fast, providing navigation and entertainment functions that can support real-time traffic congestion avoidance, and providing some rights of paid music software for free.

Yi Xuan has a length, width and height of 4660/1812/1490 mm and a wheelbase of 2680 mm According to my personal experience, the ride space is better than the old Toyota Corolla, especially the lateral space is wider, which is close to the new generation Corolla just listed.

In terms of power, the entry power is a three-cylinder 1.0T turbocharged engine, which is consistent with Geely Automobile and General Motors. Dongfeng Shen Feng has chosen a "forward-looking" technical route instead of being conservative. The torque of this 1.0t is as high as196n m. When I first test drive, its dynamic performance greatly exceeded my expectations, especially the low torque performance in the initial stage, which was much better than my previous subconscious rejection of1.0t.

Joint venture brand >>

Jetta-Jetta VA3

With a starting price of more than 60,000 yuan, it is a joint venture compact car with the lowest entry threshold and is 100% "popular".

This quota originally belonged to FAW-Volkswagen and was awarded by expanding its market access and establishing a new brand. Jetta used to be the most classic entry-level family car of FAW-Volkswagen until 20 19 became its own brand. Jetta VA3 is the second model launched by the brand and the first car model.

My evaluation of this car is "completely inherited the quality of previous Jetta models". The interior of Jetta VA3 is harder than that of Volkswagen, but its design style is consistent with that of Volkswagen, calm and attractive. The fly in the ointment is that the screen size of the car is large but the system performance is average.

Spatially, Jetta VA3 is slightly longer than 4.5 meters and has a wheelbase of 2.6 meters, which basically meets the domestic demand. Unfortunately, the rear seats can't be laid down, which affects the expansion ability of the trunk.

In terms of power, it is equipped with 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum power 1 12 horsepower and peak torque 145 N? Mi, transmission, matching manual and Aisin AQ 160 six-speed automatic gearbox, is the most entry-level and mature powertrain of Volkswagen, with mainstream performance but reliability. The vehicle quality and performance can refer to the old Jetta. I believe that the quality is highly consistent and will not shrink.

In terms of configuration, the manual enjoyment version of 72,800 yuan has a higher configuration when the price is similar to other joint venture entry cars, and the manual enterprising version of 65,800 yuan is similar to other joint venture cars.

In a word, the new Jetta model, which completely inherits Volkswagen's genes, has stable quality, enjoys Volkswagen's spare parts, is easy to find in the fourth and fifth tier towns, and the maintenance cost is low enough.

Chevrolet-Knight

The knight's guide price is 89,900, but at present, the terminal discount is as high as 20,000, the actual starting price is more than 60,000, and the automatic transmission model is only in its early 70,000 s.

Chevrolet brand has always occupied an important position in the joint venture entry market. After Sail established its historical position and withdrew from the stage, Knight became the strongest model in the entry car market. Cavalier pays attention to excellent appearance and interior design, interior materials and multimedia lathes, and its power is stronger than that of Volkswagen's products at the same time. The knight body data of compact car is 4474 *1730 *1471mm, and the wheelbase is 2600 mm. In terms of power, Knight 1.0T turbocharged engine has the maximum power 125 horsepower (92kW), the peak torque 180 Nm, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is as low as 4.9L, which is the most outstanding fuel economy among several models recommended in this paper.

Balance+exquisiteness+excellent power+fuel saving, it can be said that Chevrolet's products in the entry market meet the needs of mainstream families, and Chevrolet has always been very competitive among joint venture brands. In addition, Chevrolet also has a guide price close to that of the Cavaliers, and its design is more aimed at young consumers, not as wide as that of the Cavaliers, thus forming a differentiation.

Toyota Vios

Vios has a minimum of 68,800 manual gears and a starting price of 83,800 automatic gears, making it Toyota's "cheapest" model.

In-service VIOS belongs to the third generation model, which was first listed in 20 14, and then underwent a mid-term change. Compared with all previous models, VIOS has a hard interior, poor space and simple configuration. However, even a lower-level Toyota is a Toyota. In particular, VIOS's powertrain is very mature, with light body, strong sense of acceleration, comfortable manual clutch adjustment, smooth gearbox shifting and high tolerance for novices. These are the advantages of its "peace of mind". After driving VIOS, you will know where the gap between other brands and Toyota is. In addition, compared with Honda Fit, VIOS has a qualified trunk and is more competent for home use.

On the whole, the low-profile VIOS vehicle configuration is indeed "barren" and meets the most important traffic demand. If you love Toyota brand and pay more attention to the driving experience itself, VIOS will be very suitable for you.
