Looking at the entire joint venture midsize SUV market, there is a model that many consumers are not open around the options, it is the first medium-sized SUV– Tiguan Volkswagen in China launched L. Since listing in December 2016, its performance is formidable, let Highlander, Ang Kewei players quite such a public pressure.
In seen SAIC mass transit concept L so successful, FAW VW also wanted a share, so the brothers launched in October last year – Exploration Yue. Because the same platform and positioning, the two are often used to do the comparison, then who is the real within the public system a brother do? We wish to compare the following four aspects.
1. Safety: Tiguan L Waterloo “PICC research”, RESEARCH Yue awarded the “C-NCAP” five-star +
first have to mention recently created a powerful “public safety” issue, I believe we have heard, and in the “mediator research” crash test Volkswagen Tiguan L, Magotan and Passat are successive titles and captured, to this end also attracted everyone’s doubts.
And in controversy everywhere all the time, another one domestic authority “C-NCAP” in recently released the latest batch of models crash results. Which appeared in the mountain exploration public figure, it is focused on a composite score of 94.6 percent took off this test only 5-star rating and a half.
Comparative performance out of the same concept in L ‘research PICC “door way, the face seems more probe Yue hanging maintained. According to the official statement, although Tiguan Yue L and probes from the same platform, Big Three basically the same, but the probe body Yue, high-strength steel used in a proportion of up to 87 percentage, the percentage of 76 L Tiguan.
That is not to say that, in terms of security, explore the mountain than the Tiguan L to be better? In actual fact, you know, research and testing standards PICC C-NCAP are differences, for example in terms of selecting the test model, the mediator is selected research Tiguan L minimum distribution models, while the C-NCAP is selected is Yue explore the best-selling version.
In addition, the test two agencies also differ, for example, C-NCAP vehicle speed 56km / h, the percentage of the offset 40; the vehicle speed mediator RESEARCH / h, 25 percentage bias 64km. So it can not simply be judged by the results from the two who both safer.
In view of all of the “C-NCAP” widespread mistrust, if you want a more objective evaluation of the safety of both , it will only look at the PICC research will test the probe Yue, in the same crash test, I believe the result will be more informative.
2. Space: Tiguan L has acquired advantage, exploration Yue exceed
Although both the same as the mid-sized SUV, but the gap somewhat in size. L Tiguan dimensioned two specifications, only the difference in length and width, wheelbase are 2791mm. The different versions of the probe Yue length 4589mm / 4595mm / 4590mm, wheelbase 2731mm.
As apparent, due to acquired Tiguan L addition elongated compared to explore the mountain, in the car length and wheelbase have a distinct advantage. L and Tiguan also added seven versions available for the consumer space rigid demand, it will be more popular.
although
exploration Yue no longer, but thanks to the highly flexible MQB platform scalability, as well as short overhangs the long axis of the design concept, its performance space is not bad. Rear seat which move back and forth can be achieved 18cm, and an adjustable backrest angle adjustable trunk floor.
and the five plate Tiguan L does not have such functions, it can be said, space exploration Yue more flexible. On the whole, whether it is storage or seating space, in fact, both have their own special skill.
3, price: Tiguan L pre-dominant, mountain exploration after the way the force
L of the Tiguan guide price of 21.88-35.08 million, and exploration of mountain guide price of 18.59-31.39 million, or price great overlap period. From the product perspective, explore the mountain as a post-marketing model, configuration than the Tiguan L is higher, we do compare prices both took similar models.
Although the two vehicles are equipped with a low power 2.0T mass EA888 engine, and with a 7-speed double clutch, but the difference is, the probe Yue in this version the power to achieve a four-wheel drive configuration, which allows consumers to have more control options at a more affordable price, while the four-wheel drive Tiguan L version is going to 282,800 yuan.
From the point of view other configurations, the case of similar price, although many Tiguan L electric luggage compartment (auto-sensing), paddle shifter other configurations, but overall still slightly better explore more Yue, such as security configuration much knee airbags, active braking, technology configuration and more full LCD instrument panel and so on.
While the previous exploration Yue listed at the beginning richer configurations, but none less terminal, usually in the discount rate of more than 20,000; and L Tiguan has long been listed, preferential relatively large, there are 3-4 million terminal concessions, integrated down, it is in fact pre Tiguan L occupy the upper hand price. But now explore Yue preferential market liberalization, and combine the advantages of the configuration, in terms of cost are more right to speak up.
4, sales: Tiguan L is still strong, exploration Yue overtake
before the probe Yue does not appear, Tiguan L is often the dominant top position of the joint venture midsize SUV’s, then it is the public absolutely a brother, but after the advent of mountain exploration, although lower prices,But it’s brand awareness and sales base are unmatched exploration Yue.
However, as time goes on, the momentum of exploration Yue has been catching up. From 2019 1– November sales data point of view, although cumulative sales of the Tiguan L than exploration Yue much, but since July, has been to explore Yue Tiguan L overtake, and is 5 batter, very eye-catching.
written in the last
Tiguan L calm Road, in the domestic market has extraordinary historical heritage, many consumers are still buying mid-sized SUV models of choice. Which is why, it has more influence than the exploration Yue attention and reputation.
exploration Yue young fashion, has endorsed the Tiguan L successful, over time, began to highlight not lose Tiguan L cost, equipment respected by younger consumers.
Who is in the public system a real brother do? The only answer to the market and consumers to decide. So if there are 25 million budget, it is also the general public, you will consider the Tiguan Yue L or explore it?
