I am a non-middle-aged greasy old man, and I am a car lover. Whenever a new car comes on the market, I always stop for a long time in the online, physical stores and exhibition halls to study various functions, compare performance, ask questions and find answers, and then I am satisfied, so the 4S shop has become the place where I go the most on weekends. Over the years, I have tossed about a lot of savings for this hobby, but I am still infatuated and consistent. At present, there are three cars at home. The Mercedes-Benz C200 is for my son who goes to college, and my wife uses the BMW 540L for commuting, while I usually drive the platinum version of the Porsche Cayenne 20 17. See my car stickers/BBS/thread/1d350c2fe51be82f/73122770-1.html and/BBS/thread/0de855d2369421. Anyway, on 20/0/9, I went to Chongqing on business with my colleagues, got off the high-speed train and booked a business car to take us to our destination. Everyone in the car chatted and said that the company's business has developed rapidly in recent years, but there is no decent commercial vehicle to prop up the facade, and it is also flawed to pick up important customers at ordinary times. This conversation has planted the seeds of buying a commercial vehicle in my heart. I actually thought about it earlier. My four old people, my wife and I, have to drive two cars everywhere, which is very inconvenient. But when I wanted to buy a commercial car, I felt that I didn't use it frequently at ordinary times, and most of my time was idle, which made me feel a little wasteful, so the plan was shelved and never implemented. ? After I came back from Chongqing, I combined the two requirements. Through the combination, a commercial vehicle can be used for both normal and leisure use, so the car purchase plan is put on the agenda again. ? Decided whether to buy, and then buy what brand and model of commercial vehicles. At present, there are not many MPVs produced and sold. Because we have to consider the company's business, we set the budget above 350 thousand from the beginning. As a result, there are basically only Buick GL8, Dajielong, Maitewei, Mercedes-Benz V260 and Erffa to choose from. First, exclude Dajielong and Erfa, the former is not well-known and popular; The latter price increase has no bottom line, and the space is not satisfactory. Followed by Matvey, I found some information and studied it. In fact, it is the national fifth, the price is close to Mercedes-Benz V260, and the brand added value is not high. After excluding these models, only Buick GL8 and Mercedes-Benz V260 are left, so after the Spring Festival, we inquired in many ways. At this time, COVID-19 is ravaging the land of China, and the auto market is in a downturn. All policies should be the best. As a result, Buick GL8 offers a discount of 65,438+0,000 yuan, and Mercedes-Benz V260 offers a discount range of nearly 50,000 yuan. The difference in preferential margin further narrows the price difference between the two cars. Then we made a detailed comparison from the aspects of space, comfort, brand value and cost performance, and finally decided to choose Mercedes-Benz V260. ? It's rainy in Guiyang in early spring, and the cold wind seems to be cleaning up the last trace of hot air left in the body. This weather has been going on for almost a week, and the closure of many shops during the epidemic period made the whole street look particularly deserted and depressed. It was a weekend, and soon after our city resumed work, my wife and I went to the 4S shop for a real car inspection. A friend of Mercedes-Benz V260 bought it at a high price two years ago, and I also did a lot of homework online. I often watch it when I come to the store, but this time I went with a purpose and a different mood. Mercedes-Benz sales warmly received us in summer, a very sunny and handsome young man who came from Henan to settle down for love. Compared with Buick GL8, Mercedes-Benz V260 is much simpler. There are three models: trial version, advanced version and advanced extended version. Fortunately, all three models have existing cars in the store. The configuration of the Premium Edition and the Extended Edition is exactly the same, only the space problem needs to be considered, so compare the Pilot Edition and the Premium Edition. Through comparative statistics, compared with the pilot version, the premium version has many functions, such as parallel assistance, active braking, lane departure warning, 360 panoramic image, adaptive cruise, automatic parking, segmented sunroof, roof rack, second row of seats (memory, electric adjustment, leg rest, heating, ventilation and massage), rear small table board, cup holder heating and cooling function, rear 220 V power supply, and three. At the same time, the height of the car body is 40mm higher than that of the pilot version, and the premium version has greater advantages in space, while the difference between the two models given by the manufacturer is 654.38+008 million yuan. ? Through the above comparison, I personally feel that although it has increased by 10.8 million yuan, these additional configurations are very cost-effective, and the pilot version lacks many elements in comfort and safety. Although the second row of seats and the middle armrest box can be solved by later modification, the cost should not be low, so I decided to go to the premium version, and then I decided that I needed an extended version. Sales promotion of Xiao Xia is very active. We drove to the basement, carefully compared with the real car, and felt the difference between the distinguished version and the extended version. First of all, the appearance, the extended version is 230mm more, the rear of the car looks and feels much longer than the distinguished version, and it feels that the distinguished version is much more coordinated. The second is practicality. I understand that the original intention of the extended version is to give passengers more space when they are fully loaded and have a lot of luggage, thus improving the comfort of riding. In addition, if the rear row of the vehicle needs to be greatly modified (the last row is replaced by a big sofa), the necessary length can also provide a better experience. However, from a practical point of view, the usual business reception, simple travel, less full load, less luggage in the back row, no need for major modification in the later stage, the distinguished version is enough. Another important reason for choosing the Premium Edition is parking, so this car is mainly used in urban areas. The length is 5 140mm, and it is difficult to park in many underground garages. However, the extended version reaches 5370mm, and it will be more difficult to estimate the length. At the same time, the saved 25,000 yuan car purchase can also be used for the renovation of new cars, killing two birds with one stone. ? After the car model is selected, business negotiations will begin. I didn't have much trouble because I had enough homework in the early stage and it was very urgent. It was all done in less than half an hour, and I signed an appointment to pick up the car on the spot. Because it was the last stock car, the preferential terms given by the store were satisfactory, and many gifts were also discussed. Although it was a current car, it took a whole week because all the modifications and optimizations were done in the shop. The new car has been modified: the chassis is soundproof, the whole solid wood floor, the plush roof, the streaming rearview mirror, the middle position of the second row is widened, the seats in the second row move back and forth electrically, and some small things bought by Dad Ma. ? It's been more than two weeks since I picked up the car, and I ran less than 1000 km. I also went to Liupanshui in the middle, 500 kilometers back and forth. The following is my feeling about car use. Driving a car is very easy. If you close your eyes, you will think you are driving. The steering wheel has clear direction, no neutral position, flexible steering, lane change and parking, and with the help of lane change assistance, follow-up headlights, 360 panoramic view and automatic parking, the intelligence and safety are greatly improved. In terms of power, although the engine is only 2 1 1 horsepower, it is well adjusted and the throttle response is timely. It's not bad to speed up in the same class. Although the speed will be too high and the sound will be loud when accelerating rapidly or climbing uphill with full load, the power output is linear and there is no fatigue at all. At the same time, in order to create more space and save costs, the car adopts the relatively common McPherson independent front suspension, which is not as comfortable as the double wishbone suspension and the multi-link suspension, but it is still effective in filtering the road feeling, except that occasionally the brakes are stepped too hard and there will be a "nod" phenomenon. Because the car is a truck chassis, the new car has been soundproofed. Many cyclists feel much better about the noise problem on the expressway, but the tire noise is still obvious when crossing the tunnel, but it does not particularly affect the riding comfort. The car uses 95 # gasoline, and its fuel tank volume is 65 liters, which is smaller than that of the cayenne (100 liters) and the BMW 540(68 liters). Because it is a new car, the current urban area 13L/ 100KM and the expressway 10L/ 100KM are expected to decline in the later period. ? The above is the whole process and experience of car selection, car purchase and car use. I would also like to thank the riders in car home for providing detailed information and first-hand information every time they buy a car. Similarly, I also want to help many riders in this way, so the links should be as detailed as possible, the parameters should be as accurate as possible, and there are shortcomings and mistakes. I hope everyone will forgive me, and I also hope that the majority of riders will communicate more.
Front photos, LED follow-up headlights and crystal Mercedes-Benz logo (only available for distinguished models) make the whole car look fashionable and modern.
Viewed from the side, the distinguished type is more harmonious.
R 18/245 continental tire, the quality is good, but the tire noise is a bit loud, and the wheels are also unique to high-profile models.
The trunk is opened in sections, which is very humanized and can prevent luggage from accidentally falling for a long time. Moreover, the opening size of the second section is also very large, so there is no problem for big things to enter and exit.
Stainless steel pedal, which was found by Father Ma. After posting, the grade has improved a lot.
Middle door pedal
The instrument panel is clear, and the mechanical speedometer and tachometer are all electronic, and the display content is quite rich. The middle display has a large amount of information, which is from top to bottom: distance, gear position and operation mode (adjustable and energy-saving, comfortable, sports and manual), automatic start and stop of engine, digital speedometer, outdoor thermometer, electronic brake assist (holding function) and time. At the same time, the digital odometer can adjust fuel consumption, kilometers, navigation, media, vehicle information and so on according to different preferences.
Cab control panel, mahogany panel, air conditioning media button adjustment, retro style is very similar to S-class style.
The air outlet of the air conditioner is also knob-type, which is basically consistent with the S-class car, highlighting the foundation of Mercedes-Benz luxury brand.
Cab control, there is nothing to say about this, Mercedes-Benz cars are basically the same, the red light is the right electric door open, and the symmetrical left button is the left electric door open.
Lane assistance, 360 panoramic system is turned on by default, and automatic headlights and headlight height adjustment are complete.
After the central armrest is opened, it is deep and noble. Two USB ports, an SD card slot, and a car refrigerator below. The door refrigerator has two levels of refrigeration that can be adjusted, and the effect is good. The refrigerator is not big enough to hold only two bottles of 500ML mineral water. If it's a can, you should be able to put down four cans.
At night, the second row of cup holders, blue refrigeration, red heating.
The memory, electric adjustment, ventilation and heating of the main cab seat are all standard, and the stainless steel patch for glass lifting is also found in a treasure. After pasting, it looks much better.
In terms of co-pilot, seat memory, electric adjustment, ventilation and heating are all standard.
The leather multifunction steering wheel, language, Bluetooth phone, media playback, volume adjustment and menu are all alive. The only fly in the ointment of this car is that there is no four-door comfortable entry and one-button start, only the remote control opens and closes the door, and the key starts the engine manually.
In the later stage, a striped suede top was added to improve the interior grade of the vehicle.
Noble second-row seat tripod, electric memory adjustment, ventilation, heating and massage are all available.
The middle position is widened to avoid the inconvenience of rear passengers.
In the second row of the essence, the seat that was later modified is electrically adjusted back and forth. Just press the black button directly when going up.
The electric doors on both sides are easy to be damaged if pulled by hand, so a warning sign bought on a treasure reminds passengers to pay attention.
