is another very difficult car selection problem. If your budget is 200,000-250,000 yuan and you don’t want a low-end luxury brand, then who should you choose?

In the field of joint venture brand mid-size cars, it has a young and fashionable exterior design, spacious space and rich configurations, plus low fuel consumption and high power. Who wouldn’t love such a car?

Today, the editor will recommend four models. Let’s take a look at Dongfeng Citroen Versailles C5 X (parameters | inquiry | pictures), GAC Honda Accord, GAC Toyota Camry and SAIC-GM Buick Regal. Which one is more attractive?

Design battle: Young and fashionable is the mainstream?

Let’s first take a look at the different design styles of the four cars.

Versailles C5 .

The 19-inch wheels on the side of the car body and the suspended double tail wings on the rear of the car not only control aerodynamics but also provide a sporty visual effect; the rear triangle window uses a flowing hollow silk screen, highlighting the exquisiteness in the details.

The appearance design of the Accord , which has completed its mid-term facelift, has not changed much compared to before. The design of the connection between the headlights and the grille is in line with the popular design techniques. The sports elements in the details highlight a good sports atmosphere.

In the rear part of the car, the light groups on both sides of the Accord are relatively large, which makes the car model identifiable at night. It also makes the visual center of gravity of the rear of the vehicle obviously shift downward, creating a certain "low-lying" feeling. This must be the Honda Favored by fans.

Camry is built based on the TNGA architecture, with a strong sense of integrity at the front and rear.

The sunken design of the engine compartment creates a lower visual effect for the vehicle, and the smooth and stable design allows it to take into account the shape of the side and rear. Compared with its old rival Accord, the Camry is undoubtedly younger and has a stronger sporty feel in the details.

Since the Camry provides different body design styles for the luxury version and the sports version, it can also meet the personalized needs of different consumers for the models they purchase.

Buick Regal is undoubtedly the more stable one among the four cars. Both the body shape and the elements in the details highlight the typical German flavor - after all, the prototype of Regal comes from Opel Insignia, not Native American product.

The slender lamp set and broad front face have a good aura, and are more in line with domestic consumers’ demands for “face”.

Taken together, the design of Buick in recent years is not as outstanding as the other three competitors, and is in a tepid state. Although the Accord and Camry are relatively traditional, they are popular cars in the market and have their own reasons for existence. The Versailles C5

Internal configuration competition: Practicality is more important than appearance

In terms of interior design, Versailles C5 Create an edgy feel that's as edgy as the exterior.

E-toggle electronic gear shifting, 12-inch large color screen, 3D color eHUD head-up display , intelligent ADML keyless entry and start, etc. leading technologies have broken the ceiling of traditional mid-size car configurations, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

The most important thing is the CAC leading comfortable seat. In addition to the very attractive seat shape, the high-density filling layer and multi-layer thickened structured foam make it full of technology and double the comfort.

The Accord's interior design style has a certain sporty feel, especially the all-black color scheme which further strengthens the sporty style. The three-spoke sports multi-function steering wheel and the electronic gear shift under the center console also provide a good product experience.

Among the details, the Accord's striped decorative panels reflect a good business style, and the interior design is generally stable. Although it strives to express a sporty atmosphere, the details appear to be relatively ordinary and slightly less forward-looking.

Let’s take a look at Camry’s interior design. Under the influence of the TNGA architecture, the asymmetric design style on both sides is much better visually than its old rival Accord, giving it a younger feel.

The matching of the steering wheel and the center console is relatively harmonious. On the contrary, the prominent "big TV" screen in the center console is more like a later addition and does not match the overall shape of the center console.

Camry's interior, like the Accord, uses a lot of plastic and soft materials. It looks very strong and durable, but the luxury and visual effects are average.

After looking at two Japanese cars, the interior of the Regal gives us the feeling that it can compete with the Versailles C5 X.

The three-spoke sports steering wheel provides good sports characteristics. The central control eConnect connected car and electronic shifting are full of technology, mainly because they are convenient to use, which is surprising for the conservative Buick brand.

In terms of space, Regal's internal seating area is relatively spacious, and it is still good in terms of comfort performance and spaciousness for daily riding.

Power Control Competition: Four medium-sized cars, who can stand out

In terms of power system, the Versailles C5 Outputting a maximum power of 129 kilowatts (175 horsepower), the engine can provide a peak torque of 250 Nm at a torque platform of 1750-4500 rpm. The comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.8 liters, which is an outstanding performance.

In terms of suspension system, all Versailles C5 X series are equipped with PHC adaptive hydraulic stabilization technology, which is rare in its class. When encountering bumpy roads, PHC can filter excess vibrations in time to maintain sufficient comfort in the car, and can also provide sufficient lateral support so as not to affect the ride comfort in the car.

All Accord models can be powered by 2.0 hybrid and 1.5T turbocharged . Based on the equality principle , we selected the 1.5T turbocharged power for comparison. This 1.5T is naturally more powerful than the previous 2.0L The power of the aspirated engine needs to be improved a lot. The

1.5T engine has a maximum power of 130 kilowatts (177 horsepower) and a peak torque of 230 Nm. The matching CVT gearbox provides good smoothness, and the overall performance of the suspension system is also relatively comfortable.

All Camry models offer 2.5 hybrid and 2.0 and 2.5 naturally aspirated engines to choose from.

Among them, the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 131 kilowatts (178 horsepower) and a peak torque of 210 Nm. It is the weakest of the three powers. It is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission, which can ensure a certain Acceleration smoothness but loss of driving pleasure.

In terms of suspension adjustment, the Camry still focuses on comfort and almost completely gives up on sports performance. This can also be seen in the Camry model's appeal - it is built for comfortable driving. In this regard, it is similar to the Versailles The C5 X has a similar positioning.

Buick Regal is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. When the engine speed reaches 5600 rpm, it can output a maximum power of 124 kilowatts (169 horsepower), and the peak torque is also 250 Nm, and the speed platform range is 1700- 4400 rpm, matched with a 9-speed manual automatic transmission, and the shifting speed seems to need to be improved. The suspension performance of the

Regal model is relatively tough, giving up part of the comfort of daily driving, thus emphasizing its sporty control experience. However, the 1.5T engine is slightly weak in the rear section, which hinders the driving pleasure.Summary of the full text of

:

After an intuitive comparison of the performance of the four models in various aspects, it can be seen that the two Japanese models are built for comfort and traditional needs; the Regal's European style is more prominent, and at the same time, it has strong discounts.
