Bitauto Original Compact SUV has many characteristics such as moderate size, good space, good passability, etc. It can meet all car usage scenarios of most people, so it has always been the first choice for many consumers to buy cars. Today I would like to recommend a joint venture brand veteran, they are Volkswagen Tuyue, Peugeot 4008, Toyota RAV4 Rongfang and Mazda CX-5.
SAIC Volkswagen Tuyue
Official guide price: 158,600-216,600 yuan
Tuyue's tough styling style is quite similar to Tuang, but compared with the latter's stability and sophistication, it has a more youthful and fashionable feel, a bit like "a little kid but a big kid". The "U"-shaped LED headlights are bright and vivid, and the 18-inch two-color wheels are stylish and beautiful.
Tuyue's interior and exterior are in the same vein, and they also have a tough style. The brown glossy veneer is inlaid on the well-defined center console, making the overall look very high-quality. It is worth mentioning that the interior of the car is the work of a Chinese design team, which not only maintains the original tough style of Volkswagen, but also the detailed design is more in line with Chinese aesthetics.
The body dimensions of Tuyue are 4453/1841/1632mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2680mm. It is considered small in its class, but after comparing with competing products, you will find that this is a model with very balanced performance in terms of space. Although there is a bulge in the center of the rear floor, the vertical spacing is large, and it is not uncomfortable to rest your feet on it.
In terms of power, Tuyue offers 1.4T (280TSI) and 2.0T (330TSI) to choose from. The two power configurations are: the 280TSI model has a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250N·m, matching a 7-speed dry dual-wheel drive system. Clutch; the 330TSI model has a maximum power of 137kW and a peak torque of 320N·m, and is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch and four-wheel drive system.
The Tuyue is the only German car among the four cars, and it is also the cheapest. The regular design of this car meets everyone's aesthetics. The body size is not large, but the seating space is highly utilized. The matching of the turbocharged engine and dual-clutch is mature and stable, and the power and fuel consumption are both good.
Dongfeng Peugeot 4008
Official guide price: 167,700-233,700 yuan
The front face of the 4008 uses a large number of complex lines running through it, making it look more like it extends from the middle to both sides. Together with the decorative lines on the edge of the grille that look like lion whiskers, the front face looks more like A running lion. The "lion's claw"-shaped headlights are exquisite and highly recognizable, and all models are equipped with LED headlights as standard.
Entering the car, the 4008’s “i-Cockpit” cockpit design is very sci-fi. Although the raised full LCD instrument and the exquisite and compact double-spoke steering wheel are a bit unusual, they provide the car owner with a good field of vision, while turning the wheel. At this time, the arm expansion angle is smaller than other cars.
The body dimensions of the 4008 are 4510/1850/1628mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2730mm. The wheelbase data is relatively outstanding in the same class. The seating space has no obvious shortcomings in its class. The headroom in the front and rear rows is good without giving people the slightest sense of oppression. The legroom in the second row, which is more than two fists, is also worthy of recognition.
4008 is equipped with two engines, 1.6T and 1.8T, with maximum power of 125kW and 155kW respectively, and maximum torque of 250N·m and 300N·m. After the 2021 model, it will be upgraded to the standard Aisin 8AT gearbox, which is no longer exclusive to the 1.8T model.
4008 is the most unusual of the four models. Its bold and exaggerated design is in line with the tone of French cars, but at the same time it is somewhat acclimated in China. In addition, French cars insist on using torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. The shelf also dissuaded many consumers.
FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang
Official guide price: 175,800-260,800 yuan
RAV4 Rongfang has changed its previous home style, and the overall hexagonal design has become very radical. The sharp angular lines on the front of the car coupled with a large area of black anti-scratch strips give it a strong off-road look. Thick chrome decorative strips run through the taillights, which is a family-style design of today's Toyota.
The interior is less radical than its appearance, and still follows Toyota's pragmatic design style. The center console is simple and elegant, with a very prominent sense of hierarchy. There is also a storage space on the instrument panel on the passenger side, which is very good. The 10.1-inch central touch screen has an overly wide frame and an overall thick shape, which is often jokingly called a "television set" by netizens.
RAV4 Rongfang has a body size of 4600 (4625)/1865/1680mm and a wheelbase of 2690mm. It is a relatively large player in its class. In terms of seating space, due to the large body size, the interior space is also good. The padding and length of the front and rear seats are satisfactory and the comfort is very good. The bulge in the center of the rear floor is not very obvious and does not affect the middle. Passengers have too much influence.
RAV4 Rongfang provides a choice of 2.0L self-priming engine and two dual-engine engines. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 126kW and a maximum torque of 209N·m, and is matched with a CVT stepless engine.gearbox, and the two dual-engine engines are both 2.5L gasoline-electric hybrids, with maximum system power of 160kW and 163kW respectively, and are matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission.
RAV4 Rongfang can be regarded as an evergreen tree among compact SUVs. Its sales have always been at the forefront. The simple and durable characteristics of Toyota models have been well demonstrated in it. The radical appearance of the new model should win the favor of many male users. The dual-engine system is its major selling point, but I personally feel that the price is a bit expensive.
Changan Mazda CX-5
Official guide price: 175,800-236,800 yuan
As a mid-term facelift model, CX-5 has not changed much in appearance. The vehicle's shape does not have too many complicated hard-line designs. Instead, it uses curved surfaces bent by soft lines to create a powerful body shape. , fully interpreting the core concept of soul design, less is more. The new imitation mechanical grille and the new logo wings create a strong visual atmosphere and bring some freshness to consumers.
The interior of the CX-5 adopts a symmetrical design as a whole. The lines of the center console are straight. The materials are made of soft leather and double stitching to create a sense of class. Although it looks plain, you will feel comfortable sitting in the car. It's actually not cheap. The design of the three-spoke steering wheel and triple instrument creates a strong sense of sportiness and can stimulate the car owner's desire to drive.
The body size of the CX-5 is 4575/1842/1685mm, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. All aspects of the data are not eye-catching. It is a compact SUV with very standard dimensions. Riding space has never been Mazda's strong point, and the same is true for the CX-6. The space performance is not spacious, and there is no panoramic sunroof in the entire series, which also greatly reduces its cabin performance.
In terms of power, the CX-5 has two self-priming engines to choose from, 2.0L and 2.5L. The maximum power is 114kW and 144kW respectively, and the maximum torque is 200N·m and 252N·m. The transmission system is matched with a 6AT transmission. Box, the top model is equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
The soulful design of CX-5 is absolutely online. With its good looks, it can be suitable for all ages and both men and women. However, this car is very conservative in other aspects and does not have many outstanding performances. It will remain unchanged for thousands of years. The power system also lacks novelty.
Editor's comment: The four cars have different characteristics and all represent the level of performance their brands should have in this level. The Volkswagen Tuyue brand has strong influence, its quality in all aspects is not bad, and it has excellent performance among compact SUVs. The French style of 4008 is very unique, which will definitely make it a niche model. RAV4 Rongfang is undoubtedly one of the most hard-core models. It has been a best-seller for many years.It has laid a good foundation for its reputation. CX-5 is a relatively science-oriented model. Its "soul-dynamic design" and "human and horse integration" make people who like it choose it without hesitation.
