202 1 Guangzhou Auto Show: Which Mercedes EQB should 400,000 pure electric SUV choose compared with BMW iX3?

Easy car original? Mercedes-Benz is quite confident in EQB. From 440,000 yuan at the time of pre-sale to 202 1 Guangzhou Auto Show, the EQB 350 4MATIC model with a price of 437,800 yuan was officially released. Many people will start to consider whether to buy a 400,000 pure electric SUV or a BMW iX3.

Undoubtedly, with the addition of EQA and EQB this year, Mercedes-Benz has produced and sold more pure electric vehicles in China than its competitor BMW, but its huge and luxurious lineup does not mean that it can win every contest in the consumer market.

First of all, compared with the price that users are most concerned about, the official price of the new EQB just listed is 437,800 yuan. Even if there are concessions after the first quarter of next year, bare cars will remain above 400 thousand yuan in the short term. On the other hand, the price of BMW iX3 is 2022 * * *, the price range covers 399,900 yuan and 439,900 yuan, and the terminal discount is generally 40,000-50,000 yuan.

In this way, BMW iX3 took the lead in occupying the price advantage, and had its own two different models, the leading model and the leading model. Power and battery life are exactly the same, but the price is different because of different configurations, which also makes users rich and frugal when choosing.

The comparison has just begun, and it is easy to tell the winner if there is a judgment. Share a sales data with you. According to the sales list in Easy Car APP, BMW iX3*** sold more than 65,438+0.10.00 million vehicles in the past six months, while its former real rival Mercedes-Benz EQC sold less than 2,600 vehicles.

In fact, manufacturers know very well that if they can't beat you alone, they will use combination boxing, which is why EQB and EQC attack BMW iX3 from top to bottom, in order to gain more initiative in the consumer market. Of course, users will have another idea in the consumption decision-making stage. After all, we all know that the car purchase demand and psychology of pure electric users can't work with traditional conventional ideas.

As for the advantages and characteristics of Mercedes-Benz EQB compared with BMW iX3, let's compare it from the design aspect first. Because these two pure trams are "oil to electricity", they follow the foundation of GLB and X3 respectively in structure, and their body proportions are also very similar. Fortunately, GLB and X3 have a good reputation in the market, so when users see EQB or iX3, they can easily accept their design style.

And both of them have their own typical electrical design characteristics. IX3' s BMW kidney grille and body are surrounded by blue decorative effect, which is reflected in the details as the exclusive logo of new energy vehicles. On the body size, iX3 is obviously a circle larger, but the wheelbase is only 35mm larger than EQB, reaching 2864mm. It can be said that the result of the "standard axis" is that iX3 is the same as X3, suffering from the lack of space in the car, which will be compared in detail later.

In contrast, EQB has a wheelbase of 2829mm, a 7-seat layout and a trunk volume of up to 1.620 liters, which continues almost all the hardware highlights of GLB high-profile models. This size SUV has seven seats and looks like the third row of chicken ribs, but it's better than nothing. What's important is that the opponent doesn't have it. The overall shape of the two cars is hard, emphasizing movement and strength. The difference is that BMW iX3 is good at creating a sense of speed, while Mercedes-Benz EQB takes into account daily practicality and flexible and spacious space.

Mercedes-Benz dares to let EQB and iX3 overlap in price. I believe that a large part of the reason comes from design, especially the creation of interior. At this stage, whether it is a Mercedes-Benz fuel car or a pure electric car, the interior is ahead of the same level. Even if iX3 has adopted the latest design trend of BMW, it is difficult to surpass Mercedes-Benz EQB in aesthetics and workmanship.

EQB's leading dual 10.25-inch high-definition display brings exquisite impression, and the overall color is dark with metal decorative pieces to meet the aesthetic needs of young consumers for new luxury.

In fact, the materials used in the center console and interior of BMW iX3 are not inferior to those of Mercedes-Benz, but BMW does not pay attention to luxury details, but presents them to users in a more sporty style. IX3 front seats are equipped with sports seats wrapped in leather, which not only has high fit, but also is comfortable to ride.

As mentioned earlier, the BMW iX3 with a longer body length is at a disadvantage in the wheelbase, so it is difficult for the rear space and comfort of this car to reach a higher level in the same class. Even in the EQB comparison, iX3' s backseat feeling is not cheap at all.

The two models of BMW iX3 currently on sale are rear-drive, equipped with a single motor, with a maximum output of 265,438+00 kW and a peak torque of 400 Nm. Driving iX3 is effortless, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 6.8 seconds. The cruising range of the 74 kWh ternary lithium battery supporting NEDC is 500 km /490 km respectively.

The battery capacity of Mercedes EQB is 73.5 kWh, which is equivalent to several iX3 books. Its front and rear double motors can explode abundant acceleration performance, with total power of 2 15 kW and torque of 520 Nm. Its power is equivalent to that of AMG GLB model, with zero acceleration of only 6.3 seconds and 4MATIC four-wheel drive function.

It can be seen that the difference between the two cars in electric drive scheme is obvious, and the updated EQB adopts more mature and advanced electric drive technology. In the case of similar battery capacity, dual motors can provide more powerful performance, and there is no trade-off between power consumption and endurance performance. The cruising range of the new EQB under CLTC can reach 5 12km.

Finally, let's look at the charging efficiency. Mercedes-Benz EQB uses AC charging with the maximum power of 7 kW, DC fast charging with the maximum power of 100 kW, and it only takes 45 minutes to charge the battery from 10% to 80%. The charging speed of BMW iX3 is also quite fast, supporting 150 kW DC fast charging, and the cruising range can be improved within 10 minutes 100 km.

Although Mercedes-Benz EQB and BMW iX3 both want to make themselves more, faster, better and cheaper excellent students when they are released, their respective styles have already left a deep impression on people as early as the fuel age. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz EQB is more inclined to young users, and BMW iX3 is more attractive to mature users.

If you have to make a final choice between the two, you should recommend BMW iX3 with lower terminal price.
