Toyota RAV4 Rongfang 2022 2.0LCVT four-wheel drive fashion Plus version
Official guide price: 211,800 yuan

Toyota RAV4 Rong takes a radical strategy in the appearance. The slightly exaggerated front face shape and tough lines make it look a bit rough, and it also makes it a bit interesting because it looks like the word "囧". In terms of headlights, the Toyota RAV4 Rongfang is not only an LED light source, but also supports adaptive far/low beam switching functions.

The side shape of the Toyota RAV4 Rongfang is also tough, not only with muscular lines, but also with thick wheel arches in a trapezoid, which feels like an hard-core off-road vehicle . In the wheel part, it uses black five-spoke style 18-inch wheels, paired with Youkehaoma tires with specifications of 225/60 R18.

The rear shape of the car is not as visually impactful as the front of the car, and it looks more concise. A silver-gray protective trim is used below. In addition, the circular exhaust port with both sides is exposed.

The interior of Toyota RAV4 Rongfang pays attention to the home atmosphere, and does not have much eye-catching features in terms of design, materials and functions, but it is a competent family car. It is precisely because of this that it is favored by many pragmatic Guangdong users. The

dashboard adopts three semicircular designs, and the middle part is a 7-inch LCD screen. Overall, the overall display effect is average, without cool visual impact, but it is definitely not boring. The size of the central control LCD touch screen of

is 10.1 inches. Although the size is OK and the functions are not small, it has three grooves. The first is that the screen border is relatively thick, which affects the aesthetics. The second is that the display resolution is relatively low, and the third is that the operation is smooth and average.

As for the functions, the car supports 10-way electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and heating of the front seat.

The body size of the Toyota RAV4 Rongfang is 4625/1865/1680mm and the wheelbase is 2690mm. The rear space cannot be compared with a medium-sized SUV like the Hongqi HS5, but for adults who are normally reminded, they can still enjoy a comfortable riding experience in the rear. On the roof of

, an ordinary-sized electric sunroof is provided. If you want a panoramic electric sunroof, you need to buy a high-end premium version and a flagship version. The storage space of the trunk of

is relatively conventional, and there is no electric tailgate provided. This configuration is only available in the top-end configuration. In terms of power, the recommended model is equipped with the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine . The maximum power of the engine is 126kW (171PS) and the maximum torque is 209N·m.

In terms of side design, the Honda CR-V does not use too many sharp lines, and looks quite round and friendly. Moreover, like the Hongqi HS5, it is originally provided with the rear privacy glass. The wheel part, its hub size is 17 inches, matches Dunlop tires with 235/65 R17.

The rear shape of the Honda CR-V is relatively full, and the D-pillar is less tilted, which can provide a larger trunk capacity. In addition, its taillights are "L"-shaped, or sickle-shaped, and the surroundings are also concave and convex. The exhaust is a double-exit driving with a diameter of inverted trapezoidal. In terms of interior design, the Honda CR-V is taking the pragmatic route, and the materials are reasonable.

In terms of seats, this car is wrapped in leather and supports 12-way electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, 4-way electric adjustment of the co-pilot's seat and front seat heating functions. The comprehensive experience of the seat is second only to the front Hongqi HS5.

The body size of the Honda CR-V is 4621/1855/1689mm and the wheelbase is 2660mm. Although it is the smallest among the four recommended models in this article, thanks to the "MM design concept" (maximizing passenger space and minimizing mechanical space), its rear seating space is not at the bottom, and it is actually slightly better than the Toyota RAV4 Rongfang. At the roof of

, the Honda CR-V series comes with a large-size electric panoramic sunroof standard, which is worthy of praise. In terms of trunk storage space, although the depth is a bit disadvantageous, the special tail contour design increases it some volume.

Honda CR-V provides two powers. The recommended model is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine + CVT continuously variable transmission. Its power performance is among the best among the same displacement power, with a maximum power of 142kW (193PS) and a maximum torque of 243N·m. The recommended model of
is a four-wheel drive version, equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system. It is a "fool-style" and will actively distribute the torque of each wheel when needed. It does not require the driver's operation and does not provide a road condition mode.
model summary: Honda CR-V performs relatively balancedly, and except for the average level of cockpit intelligence, there are no obvious shortcomings. It is precisely because of this that it can surpass a number of powerful opponents and become the sales champion in the current joint venture SUV market.
Volkswagen Tiguan L2022 330TSI automatic two-wheel drive comfort version
Official guide price: 217,800 yuan

Volkswagen Tiguan L's appearance is a moderate route, and the body lacks highlight elements, but it is better to be durable. From the front face, this car gives people a simple feeling. The four-sided chrome grille is relatively plain, but it effectively stretches the visual width of the front. The headlights use full LED light source, and the shape is also average.On the side of

, Volkswagen Tiguan L looks very slender with its long straight lines. At the same time, the entire outline gives people a feeling of stability. As an entry-level model for the exterior rearview mirror, it only has the most basic electric adjustment and heating. As for the wheels, it uses irregular 18-inch wheels, matching the Maggis tire with the specifications of 235/55 R18, which is a bit stingy.

rear part, Volkswagen Tiguan L is still in a simple style, adopting more horizontal penetration lines to enrich the sense of layering. The exhaust port is a double-sided double-outlet, but a hidden layout is chosen. In terms of interior, the Volkswagen Tiguan L is also mainly stable and practical, with the main color of black, soft scattered plastic above the center console, and hard plastic below. The door elbow support position and central armrest cover are all covered with leather. The off-white trim that runs across the center console makes it less monotonous. As the lowest-equipped model in the entire series, its steering wheel is wrapped in plastic, and its grip feel is undoubtedly not as good as the competitive cars that use a leather steering wheel in front. The dashboard part of

is matched with an 8-inch LCD panel, and the display effect is still very OK. The color combination looks cool and delicate.

central control touch screen is also 8 inches in size, with few system functions, and no reversing image and navigation functions. Fortunately, it supports both Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife.

air conditioning part, this lowest-equipped model provides manual air conditioning with relatively old school, and automatic air conditioning with partition temperature control is only available at the lowest-equipped time.

seats are wrapped in a mixed and matched leather + fabric, with average comfort and no sense of class, and there is no electric adjustment, heating and ventilation.
However, as a mid-size SUV with a body size of 4733/1839/1673mm and a wheelbase of 2791mm, the rear seating space of the Volkswagen Tiguan L is very guaranteed, not much worse than the Red Flag HS5 in the front, and the seating position provided by the rear seats is also more suitable.
is also very secure, and the trunk space is quite considerable in depth and regularity. It is also worth mentioning that in addition to the large five-seater, the Volkswagen Tiguan L has seven-seater models for consumers to choose from. In terms of power, the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan L is equipped with a 2.0T engine, which is divided into high and low power. The low-end model is equipped with a 2.0T low-power engine with a maximum power of 137kW (186PS) and a maximum torque of 320N·m. It can only be said to be enough to pull a mid-sized SUV, but it is not sufficient. In terms of transmission, the entire series is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.
model summary: Volkswagen Tiguan L is a joint venture mid-size SUV, positioned higher than the Toyota RAV4 Rongfang and Honda CR-V. It is precisely for this reason that within the same budget, if you choose it, you need to appropriately sacrifice some configuration pursuits. Of course, if the financial conditions permit, you can also increase your budget appropriately to purchase it and try to choose a mid-equipped or above model.
