Bitauto Original For a long time, medium and large SUVs from luxury brands have been the goal that most consumers strive for, and many consumers have secretly vowed to become their owners in the future. With the gains in their careers, it is now time for them to buy a mid-to-large SUV from a luxury brand. Today we bring three mid-to-large SUVs from luxury brands. They are pragmatic and not low-key at the same time. They can go to high-end banquets and take the whole family out for fun. . They are: Volvo XC90, BMW X5L and Audi Q7. From the brand foundation, product strength to price, these three cars will be the first choice for quality-price ratio.
Volvo XC90
Official guide price: 638,900-781,900 yuan
Volvo XC90, as a medium to large size from Northern Europe, is also Volvo’s flagship SUV. Many of Volvo’s top technologies appear on this car. In addition to the fuel version, the XC90 also has a plug-in hybrid version. The combination of 2.0T+ motor can satisfy more consumers who need power.
In terms of appearance, Volvo XC90 has a relatively unique design style in this class, which is also closely related to the brand's tone. At present, the body lines of many medium and large SUVs from luxury brands on the market are getting softer and softer. For example, this generation of Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7 are undeniably beautiful, but they seem to lack a bit of the aura that a model of this level should have. The Volvo XC90 is different. The muscular body lines and sharp front and rear light groups give it an excellent sense of power.
Looking from the side, the stretched D-pillar and the waistline running through the front and rear make this car look quite slender. The overall dimensions of the XC90 are 4953/1958/1776mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2984mm. If you look at the data, Volvo The XC90 is not particularly large in its class, but it benefits from theThe styling design of the front and side of the vehicle makes the car look larger visually.
At the rear of the vehicle, the taillight set of the XC90 is a highly recognizable element of the rear. Although the XC90 is the first of these cars to be launched, the design is still classic and follows the trend. The "people are taller and the horses are bigger" shape. Captured the hearts of many consumers.
The interior also adheres to the characteristics of Nordic design. There are no redundant decorative elements. The relatively simple wood grain and the leather with excellent feel have created a good luxurious atmosphere. Consumers at this level are interested in technology and smart cockpits. I don’t care so much about the experience. The vertical central control screen of Volvo XC90 can already meet daily needs.
However, in view of the current consumer demand for intelligence, Volvo XC90 has built-in Amap, Huawei Smart Assistant, Tencent iQiTing, etc. There are more applications available for download in the Huawei App Store, and you can also choose to use Quick Application to expand vehicle and machine applications.
The crystal gear lever is unique to high-end models and significantly improves the sense of luxury and sophistication in the car. First look, Volvo XC9The interior of 0 does not have any fancy design, but the quality of the interior is enhanced through excellent workmanship and reasonable ergonomics. For example, the tilt angle of the screen, the optimization of the native Android system, and the easy-to-use voice system all make it easier for the driver to perform related operations.
In terms of interior materials, Volvo XC90 also prefers to use safe and environmentally friendly interior materials. Whether it is wood grain veneers, metal chrome-plated parts or fabric fibers, the production and selection of odor evaporation are strictly controlled. Low formaldehyde, low heavy metals, low allergen material selection, and Volvo AAC dual-effect enhanced air purification system are the hidden advantages of Volvo XC90. There is no peculiar smell in the car, which is even more important for families with children.
Safety has always been the label of the Volvo brand. As Volvo's flagship SUV model, the Volvo XC90 absolutely spares no effort in terms of safety: a super strong cage body and a larger proportion of boron steel in the body structure, which work well together. Using the City Safety system and Pilot Assist, the Volvo XC90 has achieved high standards and equal treatment in terms of active and passive safety.
In the power part, Volvo XC90 is equipped with a 2.0T engine + 48V hybrid system. The engine is divided into high and low power versions. The parameters of the low-power turbocharged engine are 184kW/350N·m; the high-power mechanical + turbine dual The parameters of the supercharged engine are 220kW/420N·m, and the parameters of the high-power version are even comparable to some 3.0T engines.
In addition, after adding the 48V hybrid system, the main improvements are the power response in the starting stage and the power line connection during the gearbox shift. The overall power output is also smoother. From a subjective perspective, the XC90 is a car that accelerates briskly. The 2.0T high-power engine has sufficient power reserves and drives quite smoothly compared with 2.0T models of the same level.
Recommended model: Volvo XC90 B6 Zhiya Deluxe Edition 7-seater
Official selling price: 781,900 yuan
Reason for recommendation: As the top version of the XC90 series, the most important thing about the B6 Zhiya Deluxe Edition is the addition of air suspension, which significantly improves the driving quality. At the same time, this version also has more unique luxury configurations, such as: Bowers & Wilkins 19-speaker sound system, ambient lighting, HUD function, etc. Whether it is driving quality or audio-visual experience, this version has much improved luxury experience compared to other versions. Under the current situation of large market terminal discounts, the price of this top-end version of the naked car has reached less than 650,000 yuan, and this quality-price ratio is indeed unique.
Domestic BMW X5
Official guide price: 615,000-800,000 yuan
At the 2023 Chengdu Auto Show, mid-term facelift of domestically produced BMWThe X5 was officially unveiled and launched, with a price range of 615,000-800,000 yuan. The new domestically produced BMW X5 mainly makes adjustments to the internal and external design, functional configuration and power system. The overall changes, including pricing, are not much different from the old model.
In terms of appearance, there is not much difference between the domestically produced BMW X5 and the imported version. The eye-catching double kidney grille is highly recognizable. After the mid-term facelift, the domestically produced X5 is in line with the overseas version in terms of styling. For the front surround, The shape and shape of the lamp group have been changed. The front surround presents a "double fangs" shape, and a new matte gray color is added.
The shape of the lamp unit is also more slender, and the daytime running lights are replaced with sharper outer fold lines. Overall, the changes in the front face are towards a rougher and more aggressive direction.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the 2023 domestically produced BMW X5 are 5060/2004/1776mm respectively, and the wheelbase is still 3105mm. The measurement parameters are basically unchanged compared to the 2022 model. After all, it is a lengthened model. The entire vehicle The size is the largest among the three cars available today. A car length of more than 5m and a wheelbase of more than 3m will indeed have certain advantages in space performance. After all, this car only has a 5-seat version available.
The sides and rear of the body also inherit BMW's consistent sporty style. Although it is a medium to large SUV, the richly varied side lines and the muscular rear convey a strong sporty atmosphere. The car we shot this time is the xDrive40Li Exclusive M Sports Night Edition, so the whole car has a lot of blackened elements, such as the side luggage racks, taillights, etc. The changes at the rear are also the most obvious in the style of the taillights.
The changes in the interior of the new model are much more obvious than the appearance. The interior of the new BMW X5 follows the design concept of the interior of the X7 model, using a large-size dual screen, and a new family-style electronic gear shift. The structure has a completely different style from the previous model.
The size of the full LCD instrument panel is 12.3 inches, and the size of the central control multimedia screen is 14.9 inches. Comparing the in-vehicle and computer systems on new energy vehicles, I personally feel that the in-car computer system on the new BMW X5 is simpler and more convenient to use. However, the level of functional configuration is relatively average, and the scalability of functions is worth optimizing. Directly in front of the co-pilot, there is the same ambient light strip as the X7 model. It looks more advanced and upscale than the previous model, but the name displayed on the light strip has naturally changed to X5.
However, what needs to be explained here is that the highly praised crystal gear lever of the previous model has been canceled in the new model. Instead, a delicate and compact one is used.The shift lever seems a bit out of place on the huge X5.
The space performance of the new X5 is very abundant, which is also the reason why many people choose it. The wheelbase of more than 3100mm and the layout of five seats make the rear space more exaggerated, and the seats are also wide and thick, but maybe it is because of my The body is relatively thin, and the wings on both sides of the front seats do not give a strong sense of wrapping. In addition, a considerable number of consumers in this level still need a 7-seater model, which is also a pity for the domestically produced BMW X5.
The 2.0T and 3.0T engines used in the new BMW X5 are different from the previous model. The 2.0T engine used in the new BMW ), and also added a 48V light hybrid system. The maximum power of the 3.0T engine is 280kW (381Ps) and the maximum torque is 520N·m. Compared with the previous model, it has increased by 35kW (48Ps) and 70N·m. The 3.0T model of the new BMW X5 accelerates from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in 5 seconds.
Recommended model: xDrive30Li Exclusive M Sports Night Edition
Official selling price: 729,000 yuan
Judging from the current market situation, the new domestically produced BMW X5 basically does not have terminal discounts due to its recent launch, and the versions provided are not many, but it supports quite a few.Project options. Overall, I still recommend the 2.0T high-end version, because the 2.0T low-end model has too few basic configurations, and practical configurations such as fully adaptive cruise and air suspension cannot be optional.
The 2.0T high-end model is 84,000 yuan cheaper than the 3.0T entry-level model, but there is no obvious difference in configuration, so friends with sufficient budget will have no problem buying the 3.0T version, but for most people, the 2.0T The high-end version is the xDrive30Li Exclusive M Sports Night Edition, which is the most cost-effective version. But I still have to say that the basic configuration provided by the BMW X5 is still too simple compared to the other two cars.
Audi Q7
Official guide price: 632,800-804,800 yuan
This generation of Audi Q7 was launched in 2016 and has now entered the end of its life cycle. Therefore, the overall exterior and interior design will look relatively old-fashioned, but the huge discounts can still attract some consumers. In terms of appearance, the family-style design enhances the youthful sense of luxury, but the sense of technology is weakened, and the overall shape is not as flamboyant as the BMW X5. Although it does not look large visually, the size of the Audi Q7 also reaches the level of 5067/1970/1740mm - about the same size as the BMW X5, but the rounded lines of the vehicle make the Audi Q7 appear "fat" visually.
In terms of appearance, the overall lines of the Audi Q7 are relatively soft. The oversized air intake grille and S Line appearance kit are the most conspicuous parts of the front face. The model we actually shot is the 55 TFSI quattro S line ice and snow sports version, which is also the most striking in appearance. Sporty version. A large number of blackened elements combined with red brake calipers make this car quite aura. However, this generation of Audi Q7 is not very recognizable, and the family-style design is somewhat indistinguishable from the Q5. This is also a problem faced by many luxury brand models currently.
On the side of the body, the straight waistline is a common design for medium and large SUVs. The body length of 5067mm makes the vehicle very slender, similar to the front face. There are also many blackened decorative parts on the side. If it is a regular version, It is silver, which older consumers will prefer. The door handles are made of the same color as the body.Color, five-spoke sports rim size can choose up to 21-inch rims.
The rear of the vehicle has a very distinct sense of hierarchy, and the horizontal and vertical lines have always been Audi's style. The through-type chrome trim strips of the regular version have been changed to black trim strips, and the silver lower fenders are also painted in black. The red and black The color scheme is quite sporty. The huge lower fender reveals a hint of off-road atmosphere, and even the lowest model is equipped with a headlight cleaning function, which also emphasizes the off-road attributes of the Audi Q7.
Coming inside the car, the interior of the Audi Q7 is a bit old-fashioned compared to the other three models. Although there is nothing picky about the materials, the interior and exterior of this generation of Audi Q7 face the same problem. : There is no obvious difference from low-level models. Triple screens have been used in most Audi models, including through-type air-conditioning outlets. At the same time, the choice of color matching and decorative panels is not likely to impress consumers at first sight. This This is also the main problem currently facing the Audi Q7.

In terms of power, the Audi Q7, like the BMW X5, has 2.0T and 3.0T engines to choose from, with tail numbers of 45TFSI and 55TFSI respectively. Both engines are matched with an 8AT gearbox. Considering the price, the 2.0T model still sells better. The 2.0T engine of the Audi Q7 has a maximum power of 182kW, the same as the BMW X5, but the torque is slightly lower, with a peak torque of 370N·m. In standard and sport modes, this powertrain has completely different personalities, and the 8AT from ZF is also quite mature in matching the engine. The Audi Q7 may not surprise you in terms of power, but the driving experience is not picky.
Recommended model: 55 TFSI quattro S line ice and snow sports version
Official selling price: 755,800 yuan
The main reason for recommending this version is that the large terminal discounts make the overall price of the Audi Q7 more affordable. Of course, if the market discount exceeds 100,000 yuan, it will be more cost-effective to choose the 3.0T model, and the ice and snow sports version is better in appearance It doesn’t look that outdated. In terms of configuration, since this version is a sub-top version, the basic configuration is already complete, so overall, this version is the most cost-effective.
Full text summary: The terminal selling prices of the three medium and large SUVs recommended today by luxury brands are basically concentrated between 600,000 and 700,000. Taking into account the purchase tax and some options, the Volvo XC90 will be relatively more cost-effective. . We will not compare these models, because products in this price range actually have their own strengths. Some are famous for their luxurious configurations, and some compete for the market with health and safety. At the same time, the brand tone and characteristics have already screened out many consumers. As the brand's flagship or sub-flagship SUV, I believe these three cars each have their own fans. So which one of these three cars do you like best? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
