Bitauto Original A few years ago, if our budget was within 100,000 yuan, we could basically only look at the entry-level joint venture car with the lowest configuration for a sedan. But things are completely different now. The quality of self-owned brand cars is getting higher and higher. You can buy a car with high configuration, large space or excellent power for less than 100,000 yuan. For example, the two models compared today, Kaiyi Xuandu and the new generation Geely Emgrand, one focuses on power and the other focuses on comfort, and both have good configurations. So as consumers, how do we choose?
Both of these cars are the latest family sedans, and today’s young consumers prefer them. Go directly to high-end models. This time we will use their strongest versions to compare and see how they show their "best selves".
Look at the face first when looking at a car. This is a very mainstream concept among consumers when buying a car. These two cars express different attitudes towards life. The first is the Kaiyi Xuandu, which uses an upper and lower split grille, and the dot matrix grille also emphasizes the sporty attributes. Xuandu's headlights are relatively long and narrow, and combined with the uniquely designed LED daytime running lights, the front face looks very sharp. It is worth noting that there are real air guide grooves on both sides of the Xuandu bumper, which can improve aerodynamic performance and cool the front wheels/front brakes.
On the contrary, Geely Emgrand adopts The design ideas of the Geely Automobile family present a more square feel. Its grille has a vertical bar style, and there are no unnecessary embellishments on the front of the car. The style is relatively traditional. So these two styles represent different concepts of life. Which one do you think is more attractive?
The same design concept is also reflected in the rear of the car. The shape of Kaiyi Xuandu's taillights is very recognizable. The long and narrow taillights are positioned upward and look very sporty. At the same time, there is a very realistic exhaust pipe decorative cover at the rear of the car. Geely Emgrand adopts a through-type taillight and hidden exhaust pipe design, which is a more traditional style.
In terms of body configuration, the performance of these two cars is quite worthy of the price. Both cars are equipped with 205/50 R17tyres, and Xuandu is equipped with Atlas tires, Emgrand is equipped withGiti Tire, the prices are similar and relatively economical.
Both cars are equipped with LED headlights, and both support automatic opening and closing. The rearview mirrors are also equipped with electric folding/heating, and both cars are equipped with ordinary sunroofs.
Let’s look at the body size. Generally, consumers have a few thoughts when buying a car: the same The bigger the car, the more valuable it feels. Although the size of the new generation Geely Emgrand has increased, it is still less interesting than the Kaiyi Xuandu. The Xuandu's wheelbase is 50mm longer than that of the Emgrand, and other body dimensions are also larger, giving it a clear advantage in terms of space.
After looking at the appearance, let’s look at the interior of the car. The shapes of the two cars are similar. , for example, they all use elements such as a suspended central control screen and a three-spoke steering wheel. The difference between the two is: Xuandu's central control is slightly tilted like the driver, and the black interior/red stitching reflects a certain sense of sportiness; the Emgrand's interior has a standard "T"-shaped layout, with dark/light combinations highlighting comfort. .
In terms of comfort configuration, Xuandu uses leather seats, and Emgrand uses a leather/suede mix. Seats, slightly different style. Both cars are equipped with electrically adjustable main driver's seats. Xuandu's more advantageous configuration is the heated front seats, which are more comfortable during use.
In terms of safety configuration, both cars are equipped with at least 6 airbags, with 360° panoramic imaging system and rear reversing radar. Of course, ACC is a bit luxurious for a car of this level, so don’t expect it to be equipped with it.
Caoyixuandu rear space
Geely Emgrand rear space
In terms of space, due to the longer wheelbase of the Kaiyi Xuandu, the rear space performance is more outstanding. For example, the legroom performance of the Xuandu is slightly better than that of the Emgrand. There are advantages. In our daily car use, especially long-distance driving, the space performance in the rear row is still very important.
After readingFrom the above content, you can find that the two cars have always had different expressions in terms of tonality. For example, Xuandu has always emphasized sportiness, while Emgrand has always emphasized comfort. These two points have the most essential difference in the "three major items".
Let’s talk about Xuandu first, it is equipped with Chery Kunpeng Power 1.5T engine, with 156PS/230N ·M output, the engine can output maximum torque from 1750-4000rpm. In contrast, Emgrand is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with 114PS/147N·m and maximum torque only in the 4400-4800rpm range.
Although both cars are equipped with CVT gearboxes, Xuandu’s 1.5T engine Whether it is low speed or high speed, there will be ample power response and acceleration performance. I believe that most consumers will prefer a version with better power.
Let’s take a look at the chassis. Xuandu uses front MacPherson/rear multi-link independent Suspension, which is a relatively rare combination among models in the same price range. In contrast, the Emgrand uses front MacPherson/rear torsion beam suspension, which is a relatively common structure among cars under 100,000 yuan. If you want to pursue sports, Xuandu's independent suspension has obvious advantages.
Based on the hardware of the two cars, the Kaiyi Xuandu obviously implements the sportiness more thoroughly , in our previous test drive experience, its driving experience was also outstanding and it was more fun to drive. The Emgrand has no bright spots in terms of power and chassis, and is a conventional "transportation tool."
Editor’s summary:
Survey data shows that in today’s automobile consumer market, car buying groups are becoming more and more Rejuvenation means that fashion and sports are becoming more and more popular. Comparing these two cars, although Xuandu is a "newcomer" in the market, it has always emphasized its sports positioning and has done a good job in all aspects. Emgrand is a veteran in the compact car market and has always focused on comfort. The fourth-generation Emgrand still focuses on comfort. But for today's young consumers, I believe everyone already has the answer to how to choose between these two cars.
