China's automobile industry has been in the industry for more than 60 years, and people's consumption outlook on buying cars has gone through a huge change. In the 1990s, when people bought cars, they judged them as heroes because of their big logos. After all, cars were a symbol of wealth. Nowadays, people no longer pay foolishly for the added value of a brand. When buying a car, they return to the essence of consumption: cars are for driving.
Therefore, in the eyes of many ordinary people, those entry-level luxury brand SUVs: BMW X1, Audi Q2... are definitely not as "scented" as BYD , Changan , Great Wall and other independent brands.
So, people are most likely to have difficulty choosing . How should we choose the best among the "three hottest Chinese brands" of : Haval H6, Changan CS75 PLUS and Song Pro DM-i? Today we are going to take a look and let you choose easily and without any worries.
Overall reckoning: How much will you spend on this car in five years?
First of all, since you want to buy an economical SUV, everyone has to settle the economic accounts. So, we directly made a "five-year consumption ledger", please just take it and thank you.
Newbies who want to buy a car just like to compare prices by focusing on the "manufacturer's guide price". In fact, you will miss out on many good cars. When buying a car with a budget of 130,000 yuan, it depends on the actual landing price.
So, let me do the math for you:
Changan CS75 PLUS automatic premium model: the guide price is 129,900 yuan, purchase tax + vehicle and ship tax 6,500, insurance 5,500, and the registration fee is 500 yuan, so you have to bear an additional 12,500 yuan. Haval H6 automatic two-wheel drive Max has a guide price of 128,900 yuan, purchase tax + vehicle and vessel tax of 6,445 yuan, insurance of 5,500 yuan, registration fee of 500 yuan, and an additional 12,445 yuan.
With such actual prices, both Changan and Haval cost 140,000 yuan more than the budget.
It is the consensus of most consumers that BYD's DM-i model has no rivals in the automotive industry, and its five major selling points of "fast, economical, quiet, smooth and green" have also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But many people never imagined that Song Pro DM-i could be purchased with a budget of only 130,000 yuan. Although the official guide price of this car is 138,800 yuan, the hybrid car does not require purchase tax, and the Song Pro DM-i is already the most affordable choice.
But this does not include the benefits brought by “new energy policies” in various places. The subsidy for buying new energy cars in Guangzhou is 8,000-10,000 yuan; if you buy a car in Shanghai, you can get a subsidy of 10,000 yuan for upgrading a gasoline car to new energy. BYD officials will also give you a 2,500 yuan subsidy for replacing with . In this way, you can get the Song Pro DM-i for as little as 126,300 yuan.
Of course buying a car is definitely not a one-time purchase. China's oil prices have experienced sharp rises and slight falls over the years, and this year they have experienced "nine consecutive rises." Oil prices have officially entered the "9 yuan era." The Chinese people know very well that “fuel expenses” are real expenses. Regarding this point, hybrids are born to crush fuel vehicles, and the fuel consumption performance of Song Pro DM-i has an absolute advantage compared with the other two.
Let’s go directly to the table and use data to explain all the problems. Assume that the monthly commute is 1,500 kilometers, and the standard oil price is 9 yuan/liter (the national average price). Then, after comprehensive calculation, the annual expenditure of Song Pro DM-i is only 39% of the other two cars. After five years, you will theoretically save about 34,000 yuan compared to owners of Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS. With this money, wouldn’t it be nice to buy a financial management and recharge beauty card?
Song Pro DM-i is a hybrid model that can run on both petrol and electricity. Assuming that 60% of its short-distance daily commuting is completely driven by electric power, and the remaining 40% of long-distance driving is driven by gasoline. The charging cost in a month is about 50 yuan, and the refueling cost is about 230 yuan. The total of the two is about 280 yuan. The annual fee is approximately 3,360 yuan.
Driving quality: Looking for fast and smooth driving, which one is better for family travel?
For family cars, most drivers value two qualities of a car: first, fast speed, and second, good smoothness. The former ensures a clean and neat overtaking; the latter allows you to operate the brake and accelerator without worrying about scaring the baby. Because of this, any professional would recommend "new energy vehicles" under the same budget.
What's more, Song Pro DM-i is equipped with BYD's "DM-i super hybrid system", which is completely different from the traditional hybrid concept. The vehicle relies very little on the engine, and the overall driving experience is completely It is close to the "quiet, fast and smooth" characteristics of pure electric vehicles, and the most important thing is that there is no anxiety about battery life. Based on this alone, there is no need to compare the driving experience, it is definitely better than the other two fuel vehicles.
More importantly, the 2022 Song Pro DM-i accelerates from zero to 100 seconds in only 8.5 seconds, which is faster than the other two cars. It eats less and runs faster, which is what the Song Pro DM-i can do. When you are traveling with the whole family, you can drive wherever you want at high speeds, and you can overtake as soon as you say you want to pass, and you will be driving with confidence.
In contrast, Haval H6 automatic two-wheel drive Max is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine . For actual drivers, in situations such as high-speed overtaking and mountain climbing, it is inevitable that there is more than enough to do. Changan CS75 PLUS uses the Blue Whale 1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine. This displacement level does not fully apply the essence of "Blue Whale", and problems such as high engine speed and loud noise still exist.
Practical space: Who is the real "big five-seater" SUV?
When Chinese people buy SUVs, what they originally value is “bigness”. So, among the three cars Song Pro DM-i, Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS, which one can meet the demand?
In terms of data, there is not much difference between the three cars. For Song Pro DM-i, due to the reasonable spatial layout and arrangement, the actual interior space in the car is "larger than imagined". In addition to the ubiquitous storage space in the front row, the space performance in the rear row is also very good. The key floor is completely flat, which is completely spacious for three adults, and the "180-degree long legs" have unlimited movement. The seats have excellent softness and wrapping feel, and it is designed to be a truly super-saving "big five-seater" SUV, which is very suitable for taking the family out for long-distance travel.
Looking at the top three independent brands, BYD Song Pro DM-i is definitely a valuable choice in the entire 150,000 yuan level. First, it allows you to take advantage of the policy and the price is more affordable; second, the driving quality is "fast, economical, quiet, smooth and green", which overall beats the same level of fuel vehicles; third, the appearance is decent and spacious. Even if you plan to buy the 130,000 version model, you can still "buy it with your eyes closed." Because the entry-level configuration of BYD Song Pro DM-i is high enough, it has all the required safety equipment. Your most coveted DiLink4.0 car system, NFC car key and other smart and convenient equipment are also equipped, which is indeed worthy of the title. It is an invincible existence at the same level.
