Among American car brands, Chevrolet can be regarded as a national brand for Americans, with a wide consumer base. Its representative classic sports car Camaro Camaro has been released in the role of "Bumblebee" in " Transformers " and occupies the C position. Recently, Chevrolet's new SUV Star Mairo was launched. The new car is not only close to Camaro in terms of its name, but also has been given the reputation of "Hornet".
The Xingmairo launched this time has launched a total of 5 configuration models, with the official guide price of 139,900-164,900 yuan. From a positioning perspective, the new car lives between Chevrolet Creation and Explorer, filling the gap in the Chevrolet family's A+ class SUV, and also points its competitive target to Honda. Which of the two American-style SUVs is more preferred? Let’s see what they have.
In terms of appearance creation, both Xingmairo and Zhizai adopt American-style design language. The former is of course more pure, with a tough and dynamic overall shape. The front face adopts an integrated shape, and the through-type logo combination divides the front grille into two parts, upper and lower parts, and split headlights on both sides, plus an exclusive RS sports kit, which is rough and sporty.
Honda Zhizai's appearance has changed the sharpness and complexity of the family model, and adopts a brand new American style, which is quite surprising. In particular, the front face uses a simple polygonal air intake grille and is matched with a honeycomb grid, which improves its momentum. However, it is a Japanese car after all, and the details are still as round as Japanese, which is slightly inconsistent. In terms of size, both cars are positioned as compact SUVs. The body length of Xingmairo is 4537mm, the wheelbase is 2700mm, and the luggage compartment volume is 414L. The longer wheelbase provides a relatively spacious interior riding space, but the body length is not long, taking into account both sports and handling performance. Zhizai's body length is 4568mm and the wheelbase is 2655mm. The body is slightly longer than Xingmairo and the wheelbase is 45mm shorter, which is not much different in overall performance.
In terms of price positioning, Xingmairo is obviously much more real. The starting price of 139,900 yuan is the same as that of Chevrolet, a smaller-level Chevrolet creation world, but it is higher than the latter in terms of power and configuration, which contrasts the cost-effectiveness of Xingmairo. The price range of Honda Zhizai is 159,900-195,900 yuan, and the starting price is 20,000 yuan higher than Xingmairo. It is close to the higher-level Honda Haoying, which shows that Honda is full of confidence in Zhizai.
power part, the entire Xingmairo series is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine , which is much higher than the three-cylinder engine of Chuangjie. Its maximum power is 135kW, and the maximum torque of is 250Nm. It matches the CVT gearbox, and the minimum fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.54L. It can be seen that Xingmairo has made compromises for practicality and low fuel consumption, and has rarely matched the most commonly used CVT gearbox of Japanese cars, with obvious intentions to confront Japanese cars.
Honda Zhizai's 1.5T four-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 134kW and a maximum torque of 240Nm. It is slightly weaker than that of Star Mairo. It matches the CVT gearbox and has a minimum fuel consumption of 6.96L per 100 kilometers. It is even higher than that of Star Mairo. Judging from the data, Star Mairo's power and fuel economy are better.
Comment: Perhaps in order to seek breakthroughs and change the inherent image, some Japanese brands have begun to embark on the American style path, such as Honda and Toyota ; while some American brands are learning from Japanese cars, adding the usual Japanese exquisiteness, and rarely equipped with CVT gearboxes, such as the Star Mairo launched by Chevrolet this time, which makes the competition between the two sides more intense. But specifically for the two models of Xingmairo and Zhi, the former has a higher cost-effectiveness and a higher power; the latter has a more recognizable appearance, so if you like to try it out, you can consider it.
