Business joint venture car! 2.0T+9AT, more magnificent and luxurious, starting from 165,000
What is the budget for an executive B-segment car? Why do you need 200,000 or 250,000, right? If this new car is a joint venture brand and has a long history, then do you think the budget of 200,000 is worth it?
The new car introduced today is the Buick LaCrosse, and I believe that most of the friends are very familiar with the Buick LaCrosse. When it first entered the country, it was also a safe executive business car, and most of the owners who bought this Buick LaCrosse were in good condition. But it's a pity that Buick LaCrosse has lost in today's fierce competition, although the discount is very large, but the sales have always hovered around 2000-3000 units. You must know that this part of the sales volume was obtained by LaCrosse in exchange for a real price reduction.
The manufacturer's guide price of Buick LaCrosse is 179,900-289,800 yuan, and the starting price after the discount is 165,000 yuan. Since the new car has two powertrains, the entry-level model is equipped with 1.5T powertrain.
The exterior design of the new car is significantly different from that of its predecessor. There are currently 22 and 23 models on the market, and the main difference is the front face design. The old model looks heavier and takes the business-oriented route; The new model has a sportier "Shark" front face shape, and it is also equipped with a new logo in the style of "nail clippers".
The sides of the model are still slender, and the new model also uses continuous taillights at the rear. In fact, I personally feel that the appearance of the old model is better, and the new model wants to increase the sporty attributes, but it does not feel very coordinated.
In addition, there is also a certain gap between the body length of the new and old models, of which the old models are more impressive, with a length, width and height of 5026/1866/1459mm and a wheelbase of 2905mm. With a length of more than five meters, many people think that the Buick LaCrosse is a new car that is infinitely close to the C-class car.
It is worth mentioning that not only the exterior has been completely renewed, but the interior design has also undergone drastic changes. The most obvious is that the central control part is equipped with a 6K through-type high-definition large screen design, with a size of up to 30 inches. I have to say that the manufacturer is indeed very willing to invest, but if you buy 22 models, it is still matched with the embedded 8-inch small screen.
The intelligent assisted driving system is not Buick LaCrosse's strong point, although it is claimed to be equipped with Buick intelligent cockpit and uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, but the playability is not excellent.
As for the powertrain, although they are all 1.5T and 2.0T models, the 1.5T engine on the old model is matched with a nine-speed manual automatic transmission. The 1.5T engine of the 23 new cars is actually matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission. It is clear that the cost of the new model has been reduced.
The advantages of the old and new models are different, the old model has a better powertrain and is less expensive, but the equipment is not as rich as the new model. The 23 Buick LaCrosse is equipped with an intelligent cockpit, and the appearance of the exterior and interior is more in line with the times, but the transmission uses CVT, and the price concession is not particularly powerful. If you are a user who pursues practicality and cost performance, I think you can consider the 22 Buick LaCrosse.
