SAIC Maxus G90 recently listed, the guidance price of 219,900-32.99 million yuan, from the price, positioning and other aspects, we will inevitably think of the MPV field of the hegemon GL8. The price difference between the lowest models of the two is 13,000 yuan, both use 2.0T engines, and the size is close, so after the G90 is listed, will it have a certain impact on the status of GL8?
Appearance comparison: GL8 three choices G90 has a high return rate
G90
GL8 Onshore Business Class
GL8 ES Lu Zun
The comparison of appearances will be briefly discussed, this part is affected by personal aesthetics, and the subjective factors are greater. The shape of the G90 is quite prominent, to what extent, probably you see this car on the road and even stop to look at it, we usually call it the return rate. The G90's return rate is indeed very high, especially the large grille of the front of the car, which is very exaggerated. GL8 here there are a number of versions, the appearance of some differences, and G90 price is the closest is the land business class, that is, the previous generation of GL8, not counting the welfare version of the guide price of 23.29-28.59 million yuan, the appearance is softer, the road is also running more, the headlights are synchronized with the latest ES Lu Zun, if you do not understand the car, you may not be able to distinguish between the previous generation and this generation. ES Luzun is a serious model of this generation, the body shape is more elegant, the lines are more abundant. The sense of premium is definitely ES Lu Zunzun foot some.
GL8 Future
In addition, GL8 also has an Avenir version, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of the couture version, you can choose the unique purple car paint, and the top is equipped with a four-seat version of the exclusive imperial blue car paint, which is a bit similar to the blue of the old GL8. Anyway, seeing this GL8 on the road proves that the owner is still quite rich, because the Avenir version of GL8 is priced at 46.39-53.39 million yuan. So it's not in our comparison today, it's just for you to see.
Interior contrast: Buick interior is a must G90 has a good sense of technology
G90
G90 uses a more inclined sense of technology, futuristic interior design, the central control screen three pieces of splicing, black frame is definitely there, according to the mobile phone industry is to stop the aircraft carrier. But the sense of wholeness is very strong, and the control buttons are not nothing, but less conspicuous, hidden in the silver strip. Because of the design of the pocket block, the G90 central control platform is very neat and tidy, and there is a lot of storage space.
GL8 Land Business Class
GL8 ES Lu Zun
Everyone says that the interior of the Buick is a must, even more luxurious than its own big brother Cadillac, it is true, GL8 whether it is a land business class or ES Lu zun, the interior is very good-looking, warm, luxurious are in place, is an MPV should have the look. However, for young consumers, such an interior may feel old-fashioned, because there are not many screens, and the screen size is not large, especially for onshore business class models. But still that sentence, the shape of the matter, the supervisor factor is too much, everyone should start according to their own visual feelings, choose their own looking good. In terms of function, GL8 is stronger than the G90, although both are equipped with a multi-function steering wheel, but GL8 still retains a certain degree of physical buttons, familiar with the future will be much more convenient.
Operating system: Zebra system does have to work on the smart GL8
G90
The G90 uses a Zebra system, and the entertainment capabilities, online navigation, online radio stations, etc., are definitely stronger than gl8, and they are much stronger. If there are children at home, then let the car machine system put some audiobooks, children's songs and the like on the road, play a role in comforting children, at this time G90 can be much more useful than GL8. The previous paragraph said that the GL8 physical buttons are many, but looking back, the G90 built-in Zebra system, the voice control ability is quite excellent, it is the first echelon.
GL8 Onshore Business Class
Although the gl8 land business class and ES lu zun, the form and size of the central control screen are not the same, but the system is the same. The degree of intelligence is not high, online navigation, online radio these are still supported. Fortunately, the original factory comes with CarPlay and CarLife functions, if you are not used to car machines, use mobile phones to interconnect it.
Seating space: The G90 third row of independent seats, the GL8, is stable
G90 Six-Seat Edition
G90 Six-Seat Edition
The seats of the G90 are quite interesting, because the body is long enough that the six-seat version has crammed two independent seats into the third row, which is not common in the history of MPV. However, after all, the body cannot be expanded indefinitely, and if the third row wants to get enough comfort, the second row needs to be compromised. If you are riding with up to 4 people, the seats in the first two rows are obviously more comfortable.
G90 Seven-seater edition
The third row of the seven-seat version of the G90 is a very common MPV seat, there is no big surprise, if there is no demand for a hard 7-seat ride, then we still recommend buying a six-seat version, of course, the premise is enough, because the G90 six-seat version is 249,900 yuan to start. Compared with the same configuration of the seven-seat version is 10,000 yuan more expensive, presumably the price of two independent seats.
GL8 ES Lu Zun
GL8 Onshore Business Class
GL8 everyone should be very familiar with, the second row of comfort is very high, of course, ES Lu Zun is still more comfortable than the business class on the road. I really can't tell the difference, it shouldn't be difficult to call an online car to experience. In addition to the Avenir version, GL8 is a 2+2+3 layout, the third row of experience two versions are similar, hard to be higher than one, ES Lu Zun will be slightly better. If you compare the G90, the functionality and material of the seat are worse, such as seat ESC, leather seat, these are the G90 is stronger at the same price.
As for the trunk space, in fact, everyone is similar, especially in the case of full seats, it is almost the same, so we will not waste everyone's time.
Configuration comparison: independent brand traditional advantages, the same configuration GL8 is more than 100,000 expensive
Configuration has always been the strength of independent brands, this comparison is no exception, G90 configuration at the same price point is much higher than GL8. We chose models with similar guidance prices for comparison, namely the Buick GL8 2022 Onshore Business Class 652T Deluxe (guide price 258,900 yuan), Chase MAXUS G90 2022 2.0T Nebula Seven-seater Edition (guidance price 259,900 yuan).
The advantages of the G90 side are: front and rear head airbags, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, active braking, adaptive cruise, front parking radar, panoramic image, electric trunk, driving recorder, mobile phone wireless charging, main and co-pilot seat ESC, front and rear seat heating/ventilation/massage, second row leg rest, 230V power supply, adaptive far and near light, atmosphere lights, exterior mirror multi-function, sensing wipers, rear independent air conditioning, larger LCD dashboard and central control screen.
The advantages of gl8 are: leather steering wheel, steering wheel shift, CarPlay, CarLife. It can be seen that the configuration advantage of the G90 is very large, almost reaching the top of the GL8. If you want to have an approximate configuration, the GL8 is only available in the ES Luzun Edition, which is priced at more than 100,000 yuan.
Power comparison: The same 2.0T also has 48V micro-mix
G90
GL8 ES Lu Zun
Both used 2.0T engines, which were similar on the books, with the G90 having a maximum horsepower of 234 Ps and a maximum torque of 360 N·m; the GL8 had a maximum horsepower of 237 Ps and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, and the matching engines were 9AT and 8AT, respectively. They also all use 48V micromix technology. The difference is also there, GL8 official advice is to refuel No. 95 gasoline, G90 is recommended to be No. 92, according to the current oil price, each refueling can be more than thirty pieces, if you run diligently, you can be hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
In contrast, the G90's cost performance is indeed high, rich in configuration and low in price. The exaggerated shape also satisfies the problem of our people to face, do not have to worry about the driver. But because we did not get the test drive for the time being, the driving experience of the two cars really can not be interpreted in detail, and the challenge GL8 each car shouted very loudly, and finally the sales of a look, or GL8 is the highest, so whether the G90 can get a piece of the pie from gl8, but also depends on the feedback given by the market.
