The joint venture new energy vehicle put down its body, and the sales volume soared by up to 10 times! Within 200,000 budget can buy them
Recently, some snail friends are asking: with a budget of 150,000-200,000 yuan, I want to buy a new energy vehicle! The main complaint is that the brand is strong, cost-effective, and the product is balanced, what is the recommendation?
Volkswagen ID.4 X
Recommended version: 2023 upgraded pure and long-lasting version
Since Volkswagen New Energy tasted the sweetness of the ID.3 official sales reduction, the entire ID series has had good terminal discounts in recent months. Taking the ID.4 X as an example, the guide price is 195,888-283,388, but in the latest price reduction list, it has a maximum concession of 80,000 yuan in Beijing, so calculated, the entry version is only 149,900 yuan, nearly 20,000 yuan cheaper than the Song PLUS EV. It must be noted that according to the region, the preferential range is different~
The ID.4 is not bad for this wave of discounts. SAIC Volkswagen's ID.4 X and FAW-Volkswagen's ID.4 CROZZ are "twin brothers", and the combined monthly sales of the two cars are more than 7,000 units. It sells better than domestic new energy vehicles at the same price, such as Zeekr X and Haval Thunder MAX.
First of all, it focuses on rear-wheel drive, and the handling is a killer feature. Considering the cost performance and practicality, I personally recommend the long-range version of the two-wheel drive, which is equipped with a rear-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 310Nm. Driving in the city, the ID.4 X is relatively stable to drive, and the power output is softer, and it will not be too aggressive like many domestic pure electric cars of the same price, and there is a feeling of vertigo after sitting for a long time. So it is very suitable for you to drive to work, grocery shopping, pick up the baby, etc., the smoothness of the torque connection makes it very suitable as a comfortable means of transportation, the chassis is solid, and it will not float at high speed.
At the same time, the long-range version has a combined range of 607 km. The advantage of the Volkswagen Tram is that it is almost impossible to use the amount of electricity, and it prompts as much as you use.
As a compact SUV, it measures 4612mm in length and has a wheelbase of 2765mm. The 180cm guy sat in the back row, and the leg was 2 fists apart.
Of course, the level of intelligence is the point that some people need to hesitate about, although the 2023 model has made a small upgrade, but the smoothness of the car machine is still not enough, there are occasional jams, and the function is not playable. Fortunately, it supports Carplay/Carlife.
In addition, the ACC adaptive cruise and following distance are relatively safe in the real line section and high-speed use, and the acceleration feeling is very good.
Compared with domestic cars in the same class, the ID.4 X is suitable for those who care about driving pleasure and driving quality, and are more at ease with big brands, but are not too interested in intelligence level.
Toyota bZ3
Recommended version: 2023 Long Endurance PRO
In the past two months, the price reduction has contributed to the surge in sales of the Toyota bZ3, a pure electric mid-size car, which sold only 598 units in July, and soared almost 10 times month-on-month in August.
On the price reduction list, at this stage, the car basically has a discount of more than 20,000 yuan, and 150,000-160,000 yuan can be bought. I have test-driven this car before, and my evaluation of it is: it is a qualified electric Toyota car that exceeds my expectations!
Compared with the bZ4X, this car has made up for the biggest shortcomings. The bZ3 humbly "learns" from BYD, and the batteries and motors used are all from BYD. It is driven by a single motor with a maximum power of 180kW and a torque of 303Nm. Although we didn't measure 000 acceleration, it feels quite fast, and thanks to the e-TNGA architecture, it still has handling while ensuring driving comfort.
In addition, I tested the 616km long-range version, my personal driving style is more aggressive, and the battery life achievement rate is still more than 80% when the three people turn on the air conditioning throughout the whole process. Therefore, the three electric parts still have the level of a large factory.
The interior of the bZ3 also pursues the simple style of new energy, most of the functions are mainly integrated in the smart car machine, and the waking up of the intelligent assistant is also very smooth. The steering wheel feels good and is particularly stable during intense driving. Its turn signal is still in button mode, which is a bit of the same configuration as a supercar, although it will not be used to it at first.
The 2880mm wheelbase makes the rear space quite spacious, and the platform is flat, so you can comfortably put your feet in the middle of the seat. The padding of the seats is soft but doesn't lose support, and I almost thought it was a Nissan under my butt.
In short, if you want a fancy electric car like the new forces, the bZ3 may not be for you, it is still a reserved Toyota car at heart. However, if you are a fan of Toyota and want to experience new energy, then it is very suitable.
Write at the end
In fact, the two cars recommended today will not be the best choice in the same price range. After all, domestic cars in all aspects have stronger configurations, but compared with brands such as Deep Blue and Leap, Volkswagen and Toyota have the endorsement of joint ventures, and their competitiveness is one more bargaining chip; In addition, the terminal discount is now powerful, which is also an advantage.
So if it were you, would you choose a domestic new energy vehicle or a joint venture new energy vehicle? Leave a message to discuss!
