They are all new generations. The strength of these 150,000-class family sedans has skyrocketed. Check them out for new cars this year!

2019 is an unusual year for the auto market. Not only is the sales volume of the entire auto market declining after rapid development, but also the release of the National VI standards has reshuffled many market segments. At the same time, another highlight of the market this year is the large-scale replacement of compact models, especially the joint venture car series, which has many replacement models. Now let’s review this year’s more important joint venture compact-class replacement models!

The new Sagitar

The earliest model to be replaced this year is the Volkswagen Sagitar. The new car follows the design style of the overseas version of the new Jetta. The hexagonal air intake grille is outlined with chrome plating and is integrated with the two sides. LED headlights with lenses are integrated into one, and high-end models are also equipped with an 8-inch central control screen and a 10.3-inch LCD instrument. In terms of power, it is composed of 1.2T and 1.4T engines. The 1.4T engine has a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 7L.

The slogan of the new Sagitar is "Long—Wheelbase". From the literal meaning, it can be seen that space is the biggest appeal of the new Sagitar. The wheelbase has been increased by 80mm, and the overall vehicle length has been lengthened by 98mm. Both the wheelbase and the length of the car are close to those of a B-class car. Judging from the actual experience, the space performance of the Sagitar is indeed excellent, especially the significantly longer rear space, which allows consumers to experience the feeling of leapfrogging.

At present, the sales volume of Sagitar is still very good, and it is also a frequent visitor to the top 10 sales rankings. Such results are also the success of Sagitar's high pricing and high discount strategy.

The body size of the current generation Sagitar has approached that of some mid-sized sedans, and the top model is priced at close to 200,000 yuan. The market it targets is undoubtedly those families who have higher requirements for brand, quality, and space. user.

The new Ralink

The new generation of Ralink is a compact model based on the GA-C platform under the TNGA architecture. In fact, it originated from the 12th The American version of Corolla. Since Toyota began to launch the TNGA architecture, we can see that Toyota's style, which has been very conservative before, has changed. Whether it is the new Camry or C-HR, it has become passionate.

The launch of Ralink is really amazing. Both the appearance and interior are relatively successful. The styling of the American version of Corolla is also very eye-catching. The configurations of this generation of Ralink are much higher than those of the previous generation, such as active driving assistance system, airbags, tire pressure monitoring, emergency rescue/roadside assistance, theft tracking system (remote start restriction), negligence reminder, and maintenance reminder. (Vehicle Condition Inspection Service) and other features are standard. It is also one of the few models in its class that does not have price discrimination in terms of safety configuration.

In addition, hybrid power is a major selling point of Toyota's compact models. It not only has good power response, but also has relatively low fuel consumption. Its sales volume that can be maintained at around 15,000 units after its launch shows that the replacement of Ralink is relatively successful.

The 14th generation Sylphy

The 14th generation Sylphy completed its replacement in July this year. The 14th generation Sylphy adopted a new design language and became younger and sportier, aiming to capture more people. The popularity of young car buyers, and the steady increase in sales after the replacement, also shows that the replacement is in the right direction.

The riding space and seat comfort in the car can get a high score. As for the richness of configurations, interior design, and workmanship materials, its performance is also at the mid-to-upper level among its peers. In addition, the low maintenance cost of 5,189 yuan per 60,000 kilometers and the low fuel consumption level of 6L/100km are also bonus points for Sylphy.

The comprehensive product strength of the new generation Sylphy is very balanced, and it is difficult for you to find its "flaws". The youthful and fashionable but not overly ostentatious style also makes Nissan Sylphy reach a wider audience. Judging from the cumulative sales from January to November this year, it is unlikely that Sylphy will counterattack the New Lavida and win the car sales crown this year. However, after experiencing the ups and downs of generation replacement, its performance next year should be even better.

The new Lingpai

The updated Lingpai is much more majestic and refined than the previous model. Once launched, it was dubbed the "Little Accord" by countless consumers. This is indeed the case. Whether it is the air intake grille on the front face, the shape of the headlights, the chrome trim that runs through the car logo, or the general outline of the rear, the shape of the taillights, etc., you can see many shadows of the Accord.

After the replacement, Lingpai’s improvement in interior quality is obvious, and it has a strong home atmosphere. The overall central control layout is relatively regular, and the materials used are also in place. The large area of ??leather wrapping and soft materials are very helpful in improving the texture of the car. The design of the entire interior is also very simple, without too much redundancy, and looks very capable. The configuration is not low either, with adaptive cruise, lane keeping, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, and many active safety settings.

The power part should be the most dissatisfied part of consumers. The 1.0T engine is quite limited in terms of displacement first, and lacks "confidence" when driving at medium and high speeds. Although the throttle performance in the front section is good, the premise is that the road is clear. Once encountering a congested urban section, the turbine cannot effectively intervene, resulting in a driving experience like a small horse pulling a big car. Coupled with the slow tonality of the CVT gearbox, This puts many consumers away.

It is reasonable for the new generation of Lingpai to return to normal sales. It is undeniable that the new generation Lingpai has the advantages of high cost performance and large space, but its weak power, immature three-cylinder engine technology, and poor driving experience are also the shortcomings of the new generation Lingpai.

Among them, even the lowest-selling model has sold more than 144,000 units so far, which is enough to show how recognized they are in the market.
