In the domestic automotive market, mid-size cars have always been the focus of attention, and they have become the best choice for IKEA cars with their spacious seating space and many comfort configurations. In the previous "practicality test", we have evaluated a number of mid-size cars, they are very good in terms of practicality, today we put the recently evaluated GUANGC Honda Accord, SAIC Volkswagen Passat and Dongfeng Peugeot 508L together, through a series of configuration and data level comparison, to see which model is more comprehensive in terms of practicality.
First, the comfort configuration test comparison in the car
In terms of ride comfort, only the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV is not equipped with the center headrest of the rear seat, which affects the comfort of the passenger in the middle of the rear seat. Guangqi Honda Accord middle seat headrest adopts an integrated design, does not support up and down adjustment, and its area is also different from the two side headrests, and there is still room for improvement. The three headrests of SAIC Volkswagen Passat support up and down adjustment, while the two side headrests also adopt a design style similar to "aviation headrests", which can give the head a more adequate fixation.
Among the three models in this cross-examination, the central armrest box is wrapped in leather fabric and has a good feel. Among them, saic-Volkswagen Passat supports front and rear + up and down adjustment, which is more flexible than the other two models. The other two models have a fixed design, and with their large area, they can still lean on the comfortable elbow pillow in a normal sitting position.
In the steering wheel and seat testing, the steering wheels of the three models support manual up and down + front and rear adjustment, and the front and rear movement distance of the main driver's seat is similar, but the overall adjustment range of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV steering wheel is small, and the practical performance is slightly worse. On the whole, saic-volkswagen Passat performed eye-catchingly, the main driver's seat and steering wheel adjustment range are good, can find a more suitable sitting position for the driver.
Second, multimedia configuration test comparison
1. USB and power interface
In terms of USB interface, the performance of the three models is relatively outstanding, especially saic-Volkswagen Passat is also equipped with a Type-C interface next to the front and rear USB interfaces, which can meet the charging needs of different devices. Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV is only equipped with two USB interfaces in the front row, and there is no interface in the rear row, from the measured data, the current and voltage of the three models can be maintained at about 5V, 1A, and the current of Guangqi Honda Accord has reached 1.5A, which has a high charging efficiency for mobile devices.
2. Car navigation
In terms of navigation, GUANGC Honda Accord and SAIC Volkswagen Passat are equipped with system navigation, and Dongfeng Peugeot 508L is equipped with AutoNavi navigation system. The navigation system of the three models can be directly entered through the main screen, the overall interface is relatively concise after entering, and the handwriting and pinyin methods are supported when entering the destination, and the geographical name association function is also supported after entering the destination keyword.
Before starting to navigate, the navigation systems of all three models can provide a variety of routes, and users can choose according to their own needs. After starting to navigate, the LCD meters of all three models can display navigation functions, but the overall display of accord is relatively simple. It is worth mentioning that the Guangqi Honda Accord HUD head-up display can also synchronize navigation information. In general, the navigation functions of the three models are relatively comprehensive, and it is not a problem to meet daily use.
Third, the comparison of storage space in the car
In terms of storage space in the car, the overall performance of all three models is satisfactory and can meet basic daily needs. Among them, in addition to the cup holder, the total storage space of the whole car is 15, ranking first among the three models. Saic-Volkswagen Passat and Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV in addition to the cup holder, the rest of the car space is 11 and 12 respectively, the performance is relatively close.
Further comparison revealed that the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV also has a concealed through-storage compartment under the central aisle, which can hold small items such as water bottles. It is worth mentioning that the internal volume of the Guangqi Honda Accord central armrest box is large, and it has a layered design, which is convenient for putting some bills and other items, and although the front cup holder of the car is equipped with a limiter, it can still be shaken after being put into a standard-size water bottle. The SAIC Volkswagen Passat is equipped with a long-style storage compartment on the left side of the front cup holder, and the interior is also designed with leather bands that can fix items such as cards and mobile phones, and the design is very intimate.
In the rear, of the three models, only the GAC Ben Accord is equipped with a small storage compartment under the rear air conditioner outlet, which can be used to put small items such as keys inside, and the rear central armrest also provides a one-piece cup holder, but the interior is not equipped with a limiter. SAIC Volkswagen Passat rear cup holder is also not equipped with a limiter, the fixing effect of water bottles and other items is average, and a storage compartment is also designed behind the cup holder, which can place the mobile phone here. Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV rear cup holder is placed in front of the rear central armrest, and there is also a rectangular storage compartment at the rear. Overall, all three models are remarkable in terms of storage space in the car, and all have good practicality.
Comparison of trunk space
We have tested the trunk of the three models, through the comparison, the trunk of the three models is very flat inside, in addition to the Gac Honda Accord, the other two models also support the rear seat ratio down, the space can be further expanded, in terms of parameters, GAC Honda Accord performance is more comprehensive, put in a slightly larger item more convenient. The overall shape of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV trunk is relatively low, and the trunk data is slightly inferior to the other two models.
Fourth, the comparison of the in-car vision test
In the data testing session, we measured and compared the field of view that is most commonly used in the daily use of the vehicle. In the blind spot test session directly in front of the field of view, we used the 70 cm high pile bucket as a reference object, and then adjusted the relative position of the vehicle until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver's seat.
During the actual measurement process, the gap between the front vision of GUANGQI Honda Accord and SAIC Volkswagen Passat is not large, and the final measured data of the pile barrel and the front of the car are 203cm and 202cm, respectively, which is in the middle and upper reaches of the same level of the tested models. The Front Vision of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV is 230cm, which is not as good as the other two models, and it is in the middle of the same level of the tested model, so it needs to pay more attention when parking.
In the test of the field of view of the exterior mirrors, only the left outer mirror of the SAIC Volkswagen Passat was equipped with double curvature lenses, while the three cars had relatively wide rearview mirrors on both sides, and the left and right field of view reached the middle and upper reaches level in the tested models. From the measured data of the field of view range in the car, SAIC Volkswagen Passat and Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV are relatively close as a whole, while GUANGC Honda Accord performed poorly in the right exterior mirror test session, ranking at the bottom of the three models.
Fifth, reversing auxiliary configuration comparison
In the reversing auxiliary test link, all three cars are equipped with reversing radar, with reference to the previous test experience, the closer to 25cm in the continuous beeping stage, the closer it is to daily use habits. In the actual test, in addition to the GAC Honda Accord, the other two models are consistent with the actual habits of use, in the farthest test of the radar, SAIC Volkswagen Passat and Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV performance is close, while the GAC Honda Accord detection distance is slightly closer, need to pay more attention when reversing. In addition, in the test, the radar of the three models is four segments, and the radar tone of each segment is relatively clear.
In terms of front radar performance, the front radars of GUANGC Honda Accord and SAIC Volkswagen Passat are also four-stage beeps, and the Dongfeng Peugeot 508LPHEV is three-stage. From the actual performance point of view, the maximum distance between SAIC Volkswagen Passat and Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV in the continuous beep stage is 25cm, which is completely consistent with the experience point and is in line with the daily use habits of drivers. The test data of GUANGQI Honda Accord is different from that of daily use habits, and drivers need to pay more attention to daily use.
In addition to the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV, the other two models are equipped with a 360-degree panoramic imaging system. In terms of picture clarity, GAC Benz Accord's picture is slightly grainy, and there is room for improvement. When the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV is very close to the obstacle, the reversing image will be automatically enlarged, so that the driver can more clearly distinguish the distance from the rear obstacle, and the image also supports standard view, 180 ° view, magnified view and automatic view, and the overall performance is relatively perfect.
In daily use, vehicles often encounter the situation of turning or turning around in narrow roads, and the minimum turning radius of the vehicle is very important at this time. The minimum turning radius refers to the circular radius of the trajectory that rolls over the support plane in the center of the outer steering wheel when the steering wheel is turned to the limit position and the car is steering at the lowest stable speed. The smaller the turning radius, the better the maneuverability of the car. Know the minimum turning radius of your car, and know what to expect when the vehicle turns or makes a U-turn to avoid scratching and other situations. After actual measurements, the turning radius of GAC Benz accord is 5.04m, the turning radius of SAIC Volkswagen Passat is 4.85m, and the turning radius of Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV is only 4.8mm. In contrast, GAC Benz Accord needs to set aside a certain amount of margin when it makes a U-turn.
summary
The three models selected this time are the best among medium-sized cars, and the three models are not long from the update and listing time, and the overall configuration is satisfactory. Among them, the HUD system equipped with guangqi Honda Accord increases the practicality and sense of technology, but there are still some "small flaws" in the details, such as unclear reversing images, rear seats do not support reclining, etc., fortunately, it has little impact on daily use. The comprehensive strength of SAIC Volkswagen Passat and Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV should not be underestimated, and the care for the personnel in the car is more thoughtful. On the whole, although the three medium-sized cars have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of practicality, they can basically meet the needs of the family, there is no obvious shortcoming, and consumers can choose according to the actual situation.
