September is coming to an end, and everyone is about to usher in the annual "National Day" holiday. Many people take this opportunity to travel and return home, and their plans to take their whole family to drive on their own are also on the agenda. Compared with crowded public transportation such as high-speed rail and planes, self-driving travel is obviously more suitable for National Day holidays. It is particularly important to have a car suitable for long-distance travel, comfortable driving, and can take into account both the arrangement. The most suitable car for these needs is naturally a medium-sized SUV, but how can you choose the right car among the many brands and products?
comprehensively considering brand, sales and reputation, we selected 4 most representative mid-size and economical SUVs: Chery Tiggo 8 PRO, Geely Xingyue L, FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue, and Buick Envision PLUS to comprehensively compare it to see which model is more suitable for National Day travel.
carry family on a trip, and intelligent driving assistance improves trip safety
Travel often faces longer trips than usual commuting, and assisted driving can effectively improve driving safety. In terms of intelligent driving assistance, these four models have more than 10 intelligent driving assistance, and Tiggo 8 PRO, Xingyue L and Tanyue can also realize automatic driving at level L2 or above. Among them, Tiggo 8 PRO can reach the L2.5 level of autonomous driving assistance level and has 15 intelligent driving assistance items; and Xingyue L also has a similar autonomous driving assistance system. When it comes to driving assistance, some friends may wonder why many models often have fatigue driving prompt systems, but the Tiggo 8 PRO, which is known for its sense of technology, does not have it? This is because Tiggo 8 PRO can monitor the driver's status through the AI emotional super interactive system. When the driver encounters a situation that affects driving safety, it will take necessary reminders or even interventions. This function is more powerful than the conventional driver's fatigue prompts.
In terms of functional operation, Xingyue L's three 12.3-inch large screen has a strong visual impact, but it is not difficult to find that the rightmost screen is an independent entertainment screen for the co-pilot. The driver controls the vehicle with two 12.3-inch screens, which are independent of each other. In contrast, the 24.6-inch Universal Nebula immersive surround screen of the Tiggo 8 PRO adopts a curved screen design, which can avoid reflection and obtain a wider viewing angle, while also allowing the eyeball to be relaxed and taking care of the driver in the details. In addition, the HUD head-up display system of the car machine is very practical. It can assist the driver in handling during driving, and obtain necessary information in a timely manner, which helps driving safety. Among these cars, Tiggo 8 PRO is equipped with W-HUD interstellar flying head-up display, Star Yue L is equipped with AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display, and Tanyue is optionally equipped with HUD head-up display system. In this regard, Tiggo 8 PRO and Xingyue L performed more prominently.
How can you tolerate the speed of a turtle in an anxious mood? Power is the focus
When the car is loaded with the whole family, the trunk will inevitably have to be filled with a lot of items. At this time, the weight of the car will increase. In this case, if the vehicle is required to maintain a fast enough speed and maintain good passability when facing bumpy road conditions, the vehicle must be required to have good power performance.
It is not difficult to see from the data that Tiggo 8 PRO has relatively significant advantages. It is equipped with Chery Kunpeng Power 2.0TGDI engine. This engine is the power technology achievement independently developed by Chery for many years. It has also won the title of "China Heart" Top Ten Engines, with leading power performance in the same level. Xingyue L's DRIVE-E 2.0TD engine is comparable to the Ecotec engine of Envision PLUS and performs well.
. In terms of driving mode, all four models can choose from four-wheel drive versions. Generally speaking, the performance of full-time four-wheel drive will be better than the timely four-wheel drive. In fact, the intelligent timely four-wheel drive system equipped with Tiggo 8 PRO, Xingyue L and Encore PLUS can quickly intervene in the four-wheel drive mode under difficult road conditions, enhancing the stability and passing ability of the vehicle, and its actual performance is comparable to the Volkswagen 4 MOTION full-time four-wheel drive. In terms of four-wheel drive capabilities, the four models are almost the same.
Take your family to travel, comfort is the top priority
For the whole family travel, vehicle comfort is also very important. When it comes to comfort, the first thing is the interior space.These four cars, positioned as family SUVs, have good performance in terms of size and space.
From the comparison of body size data, you can see that Envision PLUS has the longest body, Star L has the widest body, and Tiggo 8 PRO has the highest body, but after careful comparison of the internal space, you can find that the four models are actually very small in difference. However, if there are many family members, you can choose the seven-seater Tiggo 8 PRO and Encore PLUS, which have more space flexibility.
In terms of riding comfort, all four cars use leather seats, and there is no big difference. However, compared with the comfort of the cockpit, you can still find the difference: Envision PLUS is equipped with a 7-speaker speaker, while Tanyue, Tiggo 8 PRO, and Xingyue L use 8-speaker or 10-speaker; Tanyue and Envision PLUS do not have a co-pilot or rear entertainment system, but Xingyue L is equipped with a co-pilot independent screen for entertainment, and Tiggo 8 PRO also has a rear independent entertainment system, which allows other passengers to enjoy the in-car entertainment system without interfering with the driver; Tiggo 8 PRO is a gravity-free Queen suitable car, which uses seamless electric leg support + pneumatic back massage + convenient foot support to protect her waist, neck and knee pads on the co-pilot, allowing her to enjoy SPA-level massage anytime and anywhere. In a comprehensive comparison, the two domestic SUVs - Xingyue L and Tiggo 8 PRO - performed more outstandingly in terms of comfort.
In addition, when traveling by car, the loading capacity of the trunk space is also very important. During the National Day holiday, many people will choose to go back to their hometown to visit their relatives. When returning, they will inevitably bring a lot of local specialties from their homes. The large trunk is very practical at this time. Comparing the volume of the trunk, it can be found that the oversized trunk of Tiggo 8 PRO has significant space advantages.
