In less than a year after its launch, the Mercedes-Benz GLC has dropped from more than 400,000 to less than 400,000 yuan. What do you think of such a discount? In addition, the BMW X3 has also reached the last moment of its life, and the current model has also dropped from the original 400,000 to about 300,000, is it very tempting? If you want me to say that the biggest discount depends on the Audi Q5L, which is cost-effective.

In fact, there are still a number of new cars on the market that are also reducing prices to attract users, but the brand influence is not as good as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, so many consumers are not very clear, thinking that the prices of these luxury cars are still high. For example, the imported Range Rover Velar introduced today.

Times have changed, and there are only more than 300,000 luxury SUVs with a million aura, which are still pure imports!

When it comes to the new car Range Rover Velar, many friends may have the impression that this is a luxury car with a price of up to hundreds of thousands. At the beginning, the price of the new car was really high, and the manufacturer's guide price was 56.8-788,000, which was high-end. But you know what? The entry price of this Range Rover Velar has fallen to the early 340,000s, so do you still think the BMW X3 or Mercedes-Benz GLC is fragrant?

This Range Rover Velar is equipped with two powertrains, 2.0T and 3.0T, of which 3.0T is also a dual supercharging system of turbocharging and electric supercharging, but I personally prefer the 2.0T powertrain. This 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 184kW and a peak torque of 365Nm. In addition, it is mated to an eight-speed automatic manual transmission, and all models are equipped with a full-time all-wheel drive system as standard. Although there is also an air suspension system, it is necessary to purchase a high-spec model. During the test drive, I felt that the power reserve was sufficient, the throttle response was very fast, and the turbo response was sensitive during overtaking, the acceleration was fast, and the push back feeling was strong.

Of course, some problems were also found in the actual use process, that is, the frustration at the initial stage of 2.0T is somewhat obvious, and I think it still has a certain impact on the quality of driving. It stands to reason that the 8AT gearbox is almost unfazed. During the whole test drive, I preferred the braking force, which was very evenly distributed, and the low-speed, medium-speed and high-speed braking process was very linear, with strong braking force, and it was relatively heel-to-foot.

After more than three hours of test driving, the fuel consumption of this Range Rover Velar reached about 10.5L per 100 kilometers. For this large man of more than 2.1T, the fuel consumption is still good, after all, there is no motor to assist.

If you are not familiar with Land Rover, you will definitely mistakenly think that this is a million-dollar luxury car. In our impression, Land Rover cars are all relatively short, but this Range Rover Velar is a bit of an exception, with a length, width and height of 4811/1930/1684mm and a wheelbase of 2874mm.

The interior design has been upgraded, and the new cars sold on sale were all just launched in June last year, and they are still less than a year old. The central control part is matched with an 11.4-inch embedded large screen, with CarPlay and Carlife car machine system. Although there are intelligent voice recognition control systems, the configuration is single, the use is more cumbersome, and the recognition is not high. The driving computer part is matched with a 12.3-inch full LCD LCD screen, and the blessing of dual screens makes the car look more technological. In addition, the leather steering wheel and leather seats are luxurious features that are only available on mid-to-high-spec models. The entry-level seats are a mix of fabric and imitation leather, and the configuration is relatively simple, with only heating and electric adjustment.

The intelligent assisted driving system is more comprehensive, and the Range Rover Velar is matched with the L2 level intelligent assisted driving system, but it is a pity that the entry-level models still need to be optional, such as parallel assistance and reversing side warning system, door opening collision warning system, these daily configurations need to spend money on options. It is worth mentioning that the British Treasure audio, which Range Rover Velar is most proud of, also needs to be optional, and the rear independent air conditioning system also needs to be optional.

Judging by the price drop, this Range Rover Velar is really easy to get your heart set on. But after carefully studying the configuration of the new car, we will find that the attraction of this kind of imported SUV is actually limited to niche and freshness, as for the quality and price are higher than you think?
