What is the key to driving? It is "open". In order to meet the basic function of opening the road, it is more important to bring the driver a refreshing driving passion. And this is inseparable from three major items - the engine, the gearbox and the chassis. Why do each car bring uneven driving feelings? The core is technology. Today, we will choose several powerful family sedans in the mainstream price range of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan to compare.

The models selected this time are Arrizo 8, Peugeot 408, Lavida, Sylphy, Xingrui and Changan UNI-V. This includes both mainstream sedans from Chinese brands and joint venture models with leading sales. Who is the real passionate one?

power "rolled" to make the "core" irritable

engine and gearbox are the source of power. In order to meet the passionate demand of users, especially young users for driving, car companies have also "rolled" in this regard, making the "core" irritable.

Chery Automobile has been continuously advancing in powertrain technology, from the 1.0 era to the 4.0 era, achieving countless classic models. Now, Chery has released the Chery 4.0 era full-region power architecture, once again injecting new momentum into its products.

, which just started pre-sale at the Chengdu Auto Show, also adopted the full-domain power architecture born in the Chery 4.0 era. It has been ahead of its class in terms of technical content and parameter performance. This is also the first time Kunpeng Power has appeared in a family sedan, and users are also full of expectations for this sedan equipped with a 1.6TGDI engine.

In fact, in the ordinary family car market, most car companies do not pay much attention to power performance, and believe that passionate driving is exclusive to performance cars or higher-level models. For example, the joint venture models in the table above, Sylphy's 1.6L engine is naturally aspirated, and its power output is naturally not comparable to that of turbocharged models. Although the 1.4T engine equipped with Lavida is turbocharged, its parameters are not pleasing. Although the Peugeot 408 and Arrizo 8 are also equipped with a 1.6T engine, the Arrizo 8 is obviously better in terms of parameters.

The Kunpeng 1.6TGDI engine + 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission equipped with Arrizo 8 has a maximum power of 145kW, a maximum torque of 290N.m, and a maximum horsepower of 197 horsepower, which is even stronger than Xingrui's 2.0T. During driving, the driver only needs to step on the accelerator lightly, and the engine can explode, bringing a surging power output and making the driving very refreshing.

As a family car, it is natural to take care of fuel economy. The power system equipped with Arrizo 8 adopts a number of core technologies such as Chery i-HEC (intelligent effect) combustion system and intelligent thermal management system, which can better improve combustion efficiency, reduce fuel consumption of the entire vehicle, and allow every drop of oil to be used for the best use. Moreover, Arrizo 8 only needs to add No. 92 gasoline, which greatly saves users the cost of using a car today when oil prices soar.

control is more accurate. Enjoy the driving feeling.

An excellent family sedan, in addition to being passionate, excellent driving texture is also indispensable. At this time, the precise adjustment of the chassis is very important. In this regard, Chery has accumulated rich technology and experience.

Whether it is suspension travel, control arm structure, etc., Arrizo 8 has been carefully tuned by internationally-renowned teams to bring an accurate and comfortable driving experience. The front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension combination can be said to be a luxury configuration in the family car market, and it is outstanding in terms of support and stability.

When driving Arrizo 8 on a mountain road, the body will not have obvious roll, and the suspension can filter out most of the bumpy feeling coming from the road surface. Even if you encounter large potholes, there will be no extra bounce. The steering adjustment is also very accurate, without any unnecessary empty positions.

3 joint venture models of the same level, Peugeot 408, Volkswagen Lavida and Nissan Sylphy are all equipped with front McPherson independent suspension + rear torsion beam non-independent suspension combination, among which Lavida uses a single-layer stamped steel plate, which has weak impact resistance and low comfort. The independent brands represented by Arrizo 8 all use the same front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension combination, and the independent brands are indeed more generous.

Summary:

In recent years, the market share of independent brands has become increasingly large. The fundamental reason is the continuous strengthening of technology. Power, as the core of the automotive field, can test the technical strength of enterprises more. Arrizo 8 is backed by Chery's deep technical accumulation and has strong kinetic energy. It can be said that "it can bends on the mountain, but it can be stable if it is stable." It has to be said that the emergence of Arrizo 8 has refreshed the traditional impression of family sedans without passion and led Chinese brands into the era of passionate family sedans.
