Why does this joint venture SUV become the hardest core in the 200,000 class?

Recently, the first big brother will be bombarded with a question as soon as he broadcasts live: Is Changan Ford Sharp worth buying?

Although answered countless times, buy buy buy buy! But this question is constantly being asked. So, I decided to tell you once and for all, the apparent reason why it is worth buying, and The Secret Behind!

With the deepening of automobile consumption upgrading, the level of 200,000 has become the mainstream range. The price of 200,000 is in the middle of the car market. If you choose this level of SUV, you can choose a larger compact SUV in the joint venture brand. Changan Ford Sharp has a very rare "standard 2.0T+ four-wheel drive +8AT+ all-aluminum suspension". This is also the core reason why it attracts the attention of such a huge consumer group.

In fact, many netizens come to consult, not because they don't understand Changan Ford Sharp. But I, a professional auto media person, need to interpret the book Data The Secret Behind and give them a reassurance. So what new knowledge points can we learn from Sharp this time?

Four-wheel drive +2.0T+8AT, how difficult is it to control?

Netizen "Da Dayu" said that when I bought an SUV, I wanted a four-wheel drive system that could resist hard work. Because he likes road trip, he often goes to some remote areas. Audi Q5 and Quattro four-wheel drive, which often have friends from the same journey, have much better passability than two-wheel drive city SUVs. The author went out for a walk two days ago and found that the four-wheel drive of urban SUV is very practical. On the seemingly inconspicuous grass, the two-wheel drive can only idle because of the decline in tire adhesion, and with a good four-wheel drive system, it can be on the ground.

Sharp's four-wheel drive is not simple. Although many urban SUVs will also be equipped with four-wheel drive systems, most of them are timely four-wheel drive systems with simple structure. For example, Toyota's Tiguan L and Buick's Angkewei are mainly used to improve the stability of high-speed driving. The ability to get out of trouble by bad roads is average. Sharp International's four-wheel drive system has many adaptation scenarios. It is a separable intelligent timely four-wheel drive system, which can accurately distribute the torque output of the front and rear wheels between 100:0-50:50 according to the driving state. So as to improve the limit of the vehicle and obtain better handling performance. In terms of the ability to get out of trouble, it has five driving modes: standard, economy, sports, anti-skid, snow/sand. As long as the road is wide enough, you can basically go anywhere you want to go to road trip.

Netizen "Worry-Free Small Problems" mentioned that what I like most about sharpness is its motivation. But what is the standard of this 2.0T in the industry? Many people may not know. Sharp, this brand-new 2.0T? The Ecoboost engine has a maximum horsepower of 248 horsepower and a maximum torque of 393 Nm. With Mercedes AMG? A35L's 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 306 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, which are very close. You know, that's more than 400 thousand a-class steel guns.

Moreover, Sharp's 100-kilometer acceleration time is only 6.7 1 sec, which is faster than Tiguan L's highest power level of 380TSI 1 sec, and the guide price is close to 300,000 yuan. In the 200,000-class joint venture SUV, it is normal to accelerate for about 9 seconds. Comparatively speaking, Rui Jinzu can be called the "steel gun" in the joint venture SUV. In addition, compared with the mainstream 2.0T in the luxury car field, such as B48 of BMW 330i, the book parameters have a maximum horsepower of 258 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The dynamic level of Sharp International is very close. In other words, the power level of Sharp is the benchmark level in luxury cars. What's more, the 8AT matched by Sharp Engine is also the mainstream configuration, which is not inferior to BBA series.

Netizen "Ada Fox RS" is a racing enthusiast and knows racing very well. In addition to power, I am more concerned about the sharp suspension performance. In my opinion, the real charm of this car lies in its suspension. Because of the handling performance of a car, the quality of suspension actually plays a 70% role. For racing cars, lightweight is more important than stronger power. There is also a saying in the horse racing circle that "one more horse is better than one catty less". Among them, the most obvious improvement of handling by weight reduction is the weight reduction of suspension. Sharp International adopts aluminum alloy suspension with high sensitivity, which is different from steel suspension commonly used in the industry. Its higher strength and lighter weight make it look like an athlete wearing running shoes. It is light and solid, and its body is smart and steady when running, which is of course the first.

High-efficiency filter+air purification, how difficult is health?

In addition to manipulating the power of this hardcore, the "COVID-19" epidemic has brought people's attention to respiratory health to an unprecedented position. So what is the level of acute respiratory health in the same level?

Netizen "Dugu just can't be defeated" said that in view of the epidemic situation, he wanted to drive a new car at once, but he was worried about the smell in the new car and how to isolate harmful gases. So I want to know, what level is the air quality of this car?

Therefore, the author studied the respiratory health performance of six 200,000-class joint venture SUVs. Bottom line: Sharp is far ahead of these models.

At present, there are four kinds of filters widely used, namely ordinary activated carbon filter, pollen filter, enhanced activated carbon filter (similar to PM2.5) and high-efficiency active filter (sharp use). As can be seen from the following filtration effect data (particulate matter), Sharp's high-efficiency active filter screen has better protection effect (it belongs to the same level as the well-known N95 mask).

In addition, St. Regis is equipped with an "AAR fresh air system". This system includes AQS air quality sensor, which can automatically detect the concentration of carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides in the air outside the car and automatically switch the internal and external circulation; The PM2.5 sensor can detect the concentration of PM2.5 inside or outside the car, and take measures and other functions to actively purify and keep the air inside the car clean anytime and anywhere.

The author also counts the models that can compete with Sharp in terms of price, size, positioning, filter grade and fresh air system carrying. As can be clearly seen from the table, Sharp's international leading edge is obvious.

Cage structure+comprehensive configuration, how hard is the security?

Although many people will not take the initiative to ask questions about vehicle safety when asking questions. However, as an automotive media practitioner, I am actually more concerned about Sharp's performance in safety. Coupled with the recent "collision door" of a German car, everyone's concern and awareness of vehicle safety should also be raised to a new height. Doesn't necessarily mean it looks strong and the steel plate is thick. What is important is whether a large number of high-strength materials are used in many visible and invisible places under the body panel.

This is the case with Sharp International. Nearly 50% of the car body structure is made of high-strength steel and boron steel, among which the A-pillar is made of ultra-high-strength cold-quenched martensite steel with 1.700 MPa, as well as high-strength rolled threshold anti-collision steel plate and four-door thermoformed anti-collision steel beam. To tell the truth, if the whole industry can keep up with Ford's safety level, I believe that when there is a traffic accident, the casualty rate will be significantly reduced, and things like "hitting the door" will not happen again. What's more, American cars represented by Changan Ford have never lost their chains in terms of safety. Word of mouth and strength are obvious to all.

In addition, the company also has a complete active safety system, namely Ford's most advanced Co-Pilot360 driver assistance system in the world. This system integrates ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, AEB intelligent inductive braking protection (with pedestrian recognition function), FDI distance warning, FCW collision warning, ESA emergency steering assistance, LKA lane keeping assistance, APA2 one-button parking assistance and blind spot monitoring. These functions, armed to the teeth, can dissolve the danger into invisibility when a collision is about to happen.

189,800 yuan has high performance, how hard is the price?

Of course, Sharp is not the only strong player at this level. But if we look at the same product strength, Sharp International has a huge price advantage. Before it is too late, let's make a simple comparison. Based on four-wheel drive and 2.0T, I found some mainstream models in the joint venture compact SUV market, such as Volkswagen Tan Yue, Volkswagen Tiguan L, Buick Angkewei and JEEP Free Light. As shown in the following table:

In the same class, there are both four-wheel drive and 2.0T models, and the main price range is around 240,000 yuan. Compared with these models, Sharp has a full price advantage of 50,000 yuan. 200,000 yuan, such a big price difference is undoubtedly a huge temptation!

Finally?

As a post-90s auto media person, I really feel that everything around me is changing rapidly. From graphic to video to live broadcast. The changes in the automobile industry are more obvious. A few years ago, 65,438+million cars were still mainstream, and now they have reached 200,000. In the tide of changing times, only those products born for this era can become the protagonists. Obviously, Reggie is such a product that conforms to the development of the times.

As the representative work of Changan Ford in the new development period, Sharp did not take the road of safety and stability, but released the ultimate hard-core strength such as control, safety and price in one breath, and achieved it in one step; In the face of changing consumer demand, we can keep pace with the times and achieve the best safety and health at the same level. In my previous visit to the store, I learned that this car has been in a situation of order sales and short supply since it was listed. As the saying goes, times make heroes, but heroes can also change the times. Sharp International, a sincere hardcore product, has changed many rules of the game in the market. Undoubtedly, it is a heavy new car worthy of your attention in the current 200,000-class joint venture SUV.
