For most consumers, when it comes to buying a joint venture B-class sedan, the first thing that comes to mind is the Japanese Accord, Camry, Tianlai, or the German Maiten and Passat. It is true that these cars have a good strength in brand, word of mouth, and product strength, so as to rank at the top of the sales list. But for consumers who don't want to go with the flow, these street cars are not their dish, they want to have a car like no other.
Today, Che 314 recommends three different joint venture B-class sedans for these consumers, namely Citroën Versailles C5 X, Chevrolet Mariebao XL, and Skoda Speed. Then make a comparative analysis to let everyone make the most appropriate choice.
Appearance comparison: French elegance, American radical, Ashkenazi modest
From the appearance design of these three cars, they can reflect the different understanding of cars in each country, and consumers can buy according to their own aesthetic concepts.
In the early years, French cars had brilliant achievements in China, thanks to their elegant appearance, and citroën Versailles C5 X also inherited this design.
The front face of the Versailles C5 X is a split grille, and the double banner chrome trim and LED daytime running lights form an "X" shape, which is a good echo with the name.
The side can be described as the soul of the whole car, the waist line from the front to the rear of the car is smooth, the upper part is a design similar to a station wagon, and the D-pillar is blackened to create a suspended roof effect, which can be regarded as the finishing touch of elegance. The lower part is a black eyebrow, and the whole series is equipped with a 19-inch rim as standard, which adds a bit of wildness. Tail follow
Aerodynamically treated, equipped with twin tail fins, the taillights are also "X" shaped in shape, and the recognition is extremely high.
When it comes to American brands, everyone will think of the image of Bumblebee, and the Maribao XL can also show a radical sports effect under the blessing of the Redline suite. The Front Face of the Redline model of the Mureypal XL is a large grille, the interior is decorated in black, and the front center of gravity is low and aggressive.
The lines on the side of the body are smooth, and the waistline is divided in two, outlining the sporty shape. At the same time, the rearview mirrors, window trim strips, rims, etc. are all blackened, adding points to the sports effect again. There is a small ducktail above the tail, which has a strong sense of layering, and the exhaust below is a double-out layout, which can also give people a bad feeling.
Germany has always been known for its rigor, which has caused them to be a little too conservative, and the appearance of the Skoda Speedy proves this from the side. There are no highlights in the design of the speed-dispatch vehicle, the family's classic straight waterfall grille, flanked by crystal-cut LED headlights, so that it can have a certain sense of youth.
The front fenders on the side are engraved with the "SUPERB" logo, and a waist line runs from here to the rear of the car, which is what most people think of as a B-class car. The brand's letters are spelled in the center of the tail, and the lower part is connected by chrome strips to stretch the visual width. It is worth mentioning that the speed of the pie uses a hatchback tailgate, when the trunk is opened at the moment, the speed of the pie can finally reflect the difference, quite handsome.
Appearance summary: In the author's opinion, the styles of the three cars are completely different, versailles C5 X may be more suitable for literary and artistic workers, the design of this car can definitely enhance your style; The Maribal XL is more suitable for student parties, or those young people who love sports, which can be regarded as a burst-like existence among friends; the Skoda Speed School may be the choice of those conservatives, and the modesty can also be suitable for all ages.
Interior comparison: Versailles C5 X has a clear advantage
Inside the car, the Citroën Versailles C5 X can be said to be slightly superior. It has a symmetrical layout, and the center console is paved with leather and imitation wood trims, which can highlight a certain sense of grade. At the same time, Versailles C5 X is also equipped with a standard 7-inch full LCD instrument and a 10-inch multimedia screen, which integrates the latest car machine system, localization is relatively good, can download some commonly used APP, and support mobile phone interconnection.
The interior of the Maribal XL has always been a trough for consumers, and compared to the cool exterior, its interior is a product of a decade ago. The material inside is not bad, and everywhere you can reach it is soft material with red stitching, but there is no sense of design. The layered design of the center console is too simple and rough, and the low-end model is not a full LCD instrument, but an LCD driving computer, and the floating multimedia screen is slightly obtrusive.
Entering the interior of the Skoda Supai, you can feel a strong popular wind, and it does not differentiate itself from the appearance. You know, Volkswagen's interior has been complained about, and the speed pie can't escape. The design of the center console is too simple, and many places still use plastic materials.
Interior summary: It can be seen that versailles C5 X, as a new model, is at the forefront of the trend in the interior, and is the one with the highest appearance value of the three; The Maribao XL seems to be a little too strong, and it has nothing to do with its generation, although the materials are in place, but the design is somewhat outdated; the Skoda Speed Pie, whether it is design or materials, follows the principle of the public can be simple and simple, and is at the lowest of the three.
Spatial comparison: Skoda speed pai hard indicator is the strongest
The Skoda Speed is the best of the three, with a width of 1865 mm and a wheelbase of 2841 mm. Thanks to the hatchback tailgate, the trunk volume of the Speedy Islet is 570-1680 liters, which is slightly better than the Versailles C5 X, which is also the hatchback tailgate, but the Bulge of the Speedy's central platform is larger, and it is not suitable for three people on long-distance travel.
The length advantage of the Maribao XL is obvious, 4933 mm was once close to the C-class car, but its wheelbase is 2829 mm, the occupant space performance is not very large, and there is no central headrest in the rear row, if you sit a third person, head support can not be guaranteed.
The Versailles C5 X has the downwind parameters, with a length of 4805 mm and a wheelbase of 2785 mm, which is only qualified in the B-class sedan. Fortunately, its width is the same as that of the speed, and the central platform is relatively flat, equipped with a rear central headrest, and the overall performance is acceptable.
Space summary: In terms of space, the three cars have some deficiencies, but the impact on daily travel is not large, if space is an important consideration when buying a car, then it is recommended to send fast. If the space requirements are not large, the remaining two choices are not harmful.
Power comparison: The Maxilbo XL breaks through the hundred fastest, and the Versailles C5 X chooses a single
From the power point of view, the versailles C5 X performance is in the ascendant, its entire series is equipped with 1.6T engine, the maximum power is 129 kilowatts, the peak torque is 250 Nm, the parameters are of medium level, matching the 8AT gearbox. It is worth mentioning that although the Versailles C5 X is a torsion beam rear suspension, it is equipped with it
The PHC dynamic chassis system ensures the comfort of the whole vehicle.
The Maribao XL is consistent in appearance, performance and aggressive styling matching. The parameters of the 1.5T model are general, the maximum power is 124 kilowatts, 250 Nm, matching GM's own 9AT gearbox; the 2.0T model is the best in the same class, breaking the fastest mass production car within 200,000 yuan in Zhejiang
Lap time record. The engine has a maximum power of 174 kW, a peak torque of 350 Nm and an acceleration of only 7 seconds from 100 km/h.
The ŠKODA Coupe also offers two options, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 Nm, matching a 7-speed wet and dry dual-clutch transmission. It should be noted that this gearbox will still have some common problems of the public, especially when there is a certain frustration when traffic jams. The engine of the 2.0T model is the TSI330 low-power version, that is, the one with the particle trap blockage, and you need to be mentally prepared before purchasing.
Power summary: In general, the Performance of the Maribal XL is the strongest, suitable for consumers with strong power needs; versailles C5 X is still a comfortable tuning, which is a good choice for home; speed is somewhat difficult to choose, and there are hidden dangers in 1.4T and 2.0T models.
Configuration comparison: Versailles C5 X has a variety of configurations, and the Maribal XL has the highest cost performance
As a DPCA car strives to turn around, Citroën Versailles C5 X is really hard worked and has the most abundant configuration. Specifically, the Versailles C5 X2022 1.6T leading extraordinary Year of the Tiger Opener Edition (official guidance price of 173,700 yuan), and beyond the more expensive Mai Ruibao XL 2022 Redline 550T automatic sharp version (official guidance price of 195,900 yuan) and Skoda Speed 2022 TSI330 DSG luxury version (official guidance price of 189,900 yuan)
The main configuration differences are reflected in the active safety configuration, versailles C5 X has an additional L2 level automatic driving assistance system, including lane departure warning, traffic sign identification, lane keeping, active braking and so on.
In terms of driver assistance systems, the Versailles C5 X is equipped with a unique 360 panoramic image and suspension soft and hard adjustment, which completely occupies the advantage.
Among the three, the configuration of the Maribao XL is lower, and compared with the Skoda Speed, there is one less front parking radar, automatic parking, automatic parking, mobile phone wireless charging and so on.
In terms of seats, Skoda Speed Pai is made of leather material, the main and co-pilot 12-way adjustment, heating, ventilation, memory, boss key, etc.; The Maribao XL is imitation leather, and only supports the main driver 10 directions, the co-pilot 8-way adjustment and heating function, missing the memory function and the boss key.
Configuration summary: The above is only from the official guidance price, if you look at the terminal price, Mai Ruibao XL has a discount of 50,000 yuan. In this way, the cost performance of The Maribal XL has been significantly improved, and the speed terminal discount is about 20,000 yuan, which is basically the same as the Versailles C5 X, and the advantage is the weakest; the Versailles C5 X as a new car has no discounts, but it does not prevent its configuration from being the richest.
Written in the end: For consumers, there is another crucial issue in the purchase of these three models, that is, the retention rate. At present, in addition to the official Citroën official Versailles C5 X to provide 85% of the new car in the first year, 75% in the second year, and 65% of the repurchase in the third year, Chevrolet and Skoda have not provided it, so everyone must be prepared for "heartache" when selling the car before purchasing.
