joint venture SUV has become the first choice for many people to buy a car. However, relatively speaking, the joint venture car is relatively expensive, especially for Japanese, with high pricing and fewer discounts. In this issue, we will introduce several reliable and cost-effective joint venture SUVs with large space and comfortable space. You will basically not lose money if you buy them. The first one of
is the explorer of Chevrolet . Although
is positioned as a mid-sized SUV, the price of the Explorer is already cheaper than many compact SUVs. The guide price of 169,900-239,900 yuan is average, but the terminal discount once exceeded 40,000 yuan. The recommended model 2022 535T Chijie version has a guide price of 184,900 yuan. The actual reference price after the discount is only over 140,000 yuan.
The appearance of the ordinary version of the Explorer is not very interesting. The overall design is naturally Chevrolet's style, and it tends to be stable and home-oriented. However, the LOGO that many people complain about is indeed a bit off the level. If it can be blackened like the RS version, it will undoubtedly be more pleasing. The 4646mm car has no advantage in a mid-size SUV. Fortunately, the wheelbase reaches 2725mm, so the size does not look large and the interior space is relatively spacious. The passengers of 1.8 meters sat in the back row, with three fingers on their heads, one punch and four fingers on their legs, and their heads were a little cramped, but fortunately, the middle platform was almost flat, and the passengers sitting in the middle could be placed at will. If it is powered by
, it is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of and a peak torque of 250 Nm. Unfortunately, it is matched with 6AT. If you can use the same 9AT as Malibu XL, your competitiveness will undoubtedly be further improved. This set of power is relatively average, with a 10.2 seconds acceleration time of 000. It starts a little bit hard, with a mid-range acceleration, and a little bit unsatisfied in the later stage. As for fuel consumption, the actual measurement of the average of 100 kilometers is about 9.2 liters, which is considered relatively high considering that such a power is considered to be. In fact, the biggest problem with the current model of the World Explorer is the interior. The overall design is too old and it doesn’t look like a car that has landed more than 150,000 yuan. If you can replace the same dual-screen as , Kruze and maintain the existing prices and discounts, I believe sales will definitely increase a lot.
The next model to be introduced is SAIC Volkswagen Tuyue.
Tuyue has performed well since its launch in 2019, with monthly sales of nearly 20,000 units at peak periods and 12,886 units sold last month. The starting price of 158,600 yuan is relatively high, and the top-end configuration is 216,600 yuan, but the terminal discount is also great, basically close to 40,000 yuan. The recommended model is the 2022 280TSI two-wheel drive luxury version, with a guide price of 181,600 yuan, and the actual reference price is only over 140,000 yuan, which is similar to the Explorer.
Tuyue is an entry-level compact SUV with a length of only 4453mm, which is one circle smaller than the Explorer. Fortunately, the wheelbase reaches 2680mm, so the internal space is also relatively spacious. The passenger 1.8 meters into the second row, with about four fingers of head space and three fingers on his legs. He is tall and still feels a little crowded. If he has a figure of about 1.75 meters, he will be very generous. Of course, Volkswagen has always been more generous in configuration, and so is Tuyue. It is equipped with automatic air conditioning, full-vehicle window one-click lifting , full-LED headlights, 9.2-inch central control screen, 4-way lumbar support and electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, front seat heating, imitation leather seats, 8-inch LCD instrument, leather steering wheel, open panoramic sunroof, rear parking radar and reversing images, active brakes, etc., which are basically in place in one step.
power, the 1.4T engine is equipped with a maximum horsepower of 150 horsepower, a peak torque of 250 Nm, and is matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox. This set of power is average, but the 9.7-second break of 100 is faster than the Explorer, after all, the curb weight is nearly 100 kg lighter. In terms of fuel consumption, the actual measured average of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers is not high, but the dry dual-clutch transmission is a bit bad and has a strong sense of low-speed jamming. The sound insulation of the whole vehicle is somewhat poor, tire noise and wind noise are easily transmitted into the car, and there are also large bulges in the middle of the rear row, making it not very comfortable for passengers in the middle to be loaded with full load.
Finally, let’s talk about a very popular model of Nissan Qashqai .
Since X-Trail was replaced with a three-cylinder, only the Qashqai in China is struggling to support Nissan's domestic SUV, but Qashqai has not disappointed. Its monthly sales have always been stable at around 15,000 units, which shows that the product strength is indeed good. The starting price of 154,900 yuan is average, and the terminal discount is also large, basically above 30,000 yuan. The 2022 2.0L CVT XV Prem luxury version is recommended, with a guide price of 168,800 yuan. The actual reference price after the discount is less than 140,000 yuan.
This generation of Qashqai has a more conventional appearance and does not have any eye-catching design. The front, side and rear of the car are mainly stable and home-based, which is obviously for the consumer group that focuses on home use. The 4401mm car length is shorter than the Tuyue, and the 2646mm wheelbase does not have any advantage, so space is not the strength of Qashqai. However, the comfort of Nissan has always been guaranteed, especially the seats, which are as soft and wrapped as they sit on the sofa, which is an important reason why Qashqai's sales can be guaranteed.
Not only that, in terms of configuration, Qashqai is even richer than Tuyue, such as leather seats, 360-degree panoramic images, front and rear parking radar, line parallel assistance, lane departure warning, active braking, forward collision warning, reversing vehicle side warning, etc. The active safety configuration is almost all equipped, and the safety is reassuring enough.
As for power, it is equipped with a 2.0L self-priming engine with a maximum horsepower of 151 horsepower and a peak torque of 194 Nm. It is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission that can simulate 7 gears. This set of power is naturally not surprising. It starts with a little bit of a sturdy start, and after getting fast, it still has a certain explosive power to step on the accelerator. Of course, the fuel consumption of Qashqai is the key point. The actual measurement of the car owner is only about 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In addition, only drinking 92-digit gasoline, the cost of using the car is very low, making it more suitable for home use.
Comment: The three joint venture SUVs above are very strong in their comprehensive strength, especially the Explorer and Tuyue, which has dropped to more than 140,000, and are quite good at space, power, configuration, comfort, etc. Among Japanese SUVs, Qashqai is relatively affordable, and has low fuel consumption and spacious space, so it is undoubtedly the first choice for home use. So, which of the above three cars do you think is more worthwhile?
