With the upgrading of consumption and the diversification of the automobile market, consumers want to choose a model that suits them from a wide range of models. It is easy to say, but not easy to say, and it is indeed not easy to say. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately identify their own needs. At this time, if you want to buy a joint venture brand SUV and require good space and inexpensive price, Chevrolet Explorer may meet the standards. Currently, the price range of the 2022 Chevrolet Explorer is 169,900-239,900 yuan, and the terminal also has a discount of about 30,000-40,000 yuan. As a mid-size SUV, it is indeed very attractive. So today we will analyze for you which of the 6 models on sale in this car is more worth buying? In terms of
power, Chevrolet Explorer is divided into two types, namely the 1.5T version (169 horsepower), matched with a 6AT gearbox; and the 2.0T engine (237 horsepower) + 48V mild hybrid system version, matched with a 9AT gearbox.
First, let’s take a look at the 1.5T version of the entry-level model Lingjie version, with a guide price of 169,900 yuan. After the terminal discount, the price is about 130,000 yuan, and only two words can be said to be: cheap! As for the configuration, this version is equipped with 6 airbags, rear parking radar, electric sunroof, front keyless entry, keyless start, remote start, LED headlights, electric adjustment/heating of the exterior mirror, 8-inch central control screen (supported functions are relatively rich, including CarPlay, CarLife, voice recognition control system, Internet of vehicles, OTA upgrades, etc.), and other functions. Although there are still some regrets, such as the steering wheel is plastic, the seat material is leather/fabric mix, and there are also the lack of functions such as the reversing impact, etc., but the overall configuration performance is at least worthy of the price, which is also considered conscientious compared with brands such as Toyota , Honda, etc., and is suitable for consumers with a small budget.
1.5T mid-equipped Chijie version, with a guide price of 184,900 yuan. Compared with the entry-level models, it has added cruising speed, open panoramic sunroof, roof rack, leather steering wheel, leather seats, and electric adjustment of the main driver's seat; compared with the difference between the two versions of 15,000 yuan, the configuration obtained has not been greatly upgraded, so it is not recommended.
and 1.5T top-end version with a guide price of 194,900 yuan. In this version, the reversing image finally appeared. The electric trunk, electric trunk position memory, front seat heating, luggage compartment 12V power interface and other configurations are equipped. The size of the instrument panel has also been upgraded to 4.2 inches, and the added functions are very practical. However, in terms of the power performance of Chevrolet Explorer, the power combination of the 1.5T version is actually a bit out of date, especially the technical level of this general 6TA transmission is slightly behind, and problems such as low-speed stuttering are common. Therefore, at this price, we recommend looking at the 2.0T version. In terms of appearance, the 2.0T model has an RS exclusive design, which looks more sporty. The entry-level model intelligent expansion version has a guide price of 219,900 yuan. In terms of configuration, this version has added assisted driving functions such as line-shifting assistance, lane departure warning, active braking, adaptive cruise , etc. on the basis of the top-end configuration of 1.5T; there are also configurations such as reversing vehicle side warning system, adaptive high and low beam lights, rain sensing wipers, etc., which are quite worth it overall.
As for the 2.0T mid-equipped four-wheel drive intelligent border version, it is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the 2.0T entry-level model. From the naming, the main difference is that there is an additional four-wheel drive system and the tire size has been upgraded to 19 inches. For consumers in need, 10,000 yuan is not a loss. However, at this price, the price advantage of Chevrolet Explorer is no longer so obvious. The price of models with the joint venture "mainstream" SUV is "competing" in configuration, power and other aspects.
Generally speaking, if it is for the "identity" of Chevrolet Explorer's mid-size cars, as well as large space, low price, and tight budgets, you can just buy the 1.5T entry-level model, but we still recommend consumers with slightly more affordable budgets to consider the more "essential" 2.0T version. Whether it is a 2.0T low-end or mid-end model, it is more worth considering.
