Budget joke

For many young people who are about to get married or already married, whether they have saved some money after working for several years or have some money at home, about 200,000 is within the budget range of most people. If we consider the household demand after marriage, SUV is undoubtedly more popular with everyone, so "how to choose an all-round household SUV with a budget of 200,000" is a difficult problem for many young family users.

The author happened to meet this problem. I got married last year and will usher in a new life this year. It is urgent to buy an all-round home SUV. However, after working in the automotive media circle for several years, I haven't saved much money, but my taste has become a lot picky. The budget of 200,000 yuan is really embarrassing. Moreover, as the deputy editor-in-chief of Zhixuan Auto, I can be regarded as a "prominent" figure. The car you choose can't be "laughed at" by your colleagues, otherwise how can you mix in the circle in the future, so you must be careful in choosing a car this time. Next, I will share with you the mental journey of choosing a car this time.

In fact, the first thing to do when choosing a car is to "make clear the demand and do the elimination method first", list the shortcomings that you can't stand, then narrow down the selection range step by step, and finally make a comprehensive comparison of the selected cars.

For most people, the brand must be the primary consideration when buying a car. Although some ordinary independent brands also have good products now, after all, when the price rises to 200 thousand, I prefer to choose mainstream joint venture brands. Among these joint venture brands, Korean and French brands are getting weaker and weaker in China, and Chevrolet and Skoda have a slightly lower positioning, so I passed them first with ordinary independent brands.

Some people may say, since you care so much about brands, why don't you buy entry-level SUVs of luxury brands, such as BMW X 1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Audi Q3 and Cadillac XT4? The terminal price will be around 200,000. The reason why these models are not selected is mainly because they have short boards more or less. For example, the beggar version of BMW X 1 is a three-cylinder engine; The low-profile configuration of Mercedes-Benz GLA is terrible, even the headlights are halogen; The space of Cadillac XT4 is rather cramped; Audi Q3 and Volkswagen Tan Yue are co-produced, so it's better to buy a Tan Yue with better power. So after some struggle, I also ruled out the entry-level SUV of luxury brands.

Then there are American departments that look very cost-effective, such as Buick Angkewei S and Ford Sharp. If we only talk about motivation and materials, they have never let people down. However, the most basic elements of family cars are peace of mind and durability. In this respect, American cars will still be slightly worse, and from the perspective of fuel consumption and preservation rate, American cars will not take any advantage. On second thought, I decided to give up these two American SUVs.

After several rounds of elimination, there are not many options left, which can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is the top three Japanese companies, but Qi Jun is about to be replaced. At present, the products are too old, and the new model has three cylinders, which is decisive. ; Honda is not as safe as Toyota, and Willanda is not a global model. Naturally, only RAV4 is left. The second category is German duo, of which Tiguan L is slightly higher in price, and will soon be changed in the middle term. In contrast, exploring Yue is more close to the people. The third category is domestic high-end brands, such as LECK 0 1, WEY Moka and Hongqi HS5, but LECK 0 1 is the most suitable brand for young people.

Finally, my car range was narrowed down to Toyota RAV4, Volkswagen Exploration Yue and Lexus 0 1. Next, I made a comprehensive comparative consideration of these three cars. I did my homework this time.

Toyota's selling point has never been appearance. Take RAV4 room as an example. It is positioned in an urban SUV, but it uses many straight and rigid lines. The front and rear bumpers, wheel eyebrows, side skirts and other parts use a lot of hard plastic, which lacks a little exquisiteness. In addition, referring to the main sales models and terminal discounts, the budget of 200,000 yuan can only buy the fashion version or the fashion version of RAV4. The lack of luggage rack and solid aluminum alloy wheels will make it look a little monotonous and simple.

Compared with Toyota RAV4, the appearance of Volkswagen Tan Yue is much more "advanced". Chrome-plated honeycomb grille, LED headlights with lenses, 18 inch two-color aluminum alloy wheels, and chrome-plated decorative strips around the side skirts all make it look more classy. Moreover, the appearance of Tan Yue has got rid of the design idea of popular dolls. The sliding shape of the D-pillar makes the whole body look more compact, and the chrome trim on the upper edge of the window is also exquisite. If you really want to find fault, the spirit of exploration and joy discharged from both sides is just a decoration. The real exhaust port is hidden under the rear bumper, and the sense of movement is slightly lacking.
