Although we take 200,000 as the price scale, considering that the terminal price of each car is different, we take the dealer reference price of a car vertical website as the standard, which is roughly more than 200,000 and less than 265,438+00,000, and select four models.
Sonata: The new car is on the market, and there is no discount at present. The selected model is the top match with the guide price of 205,800.
Passat: At present, the discount range is close to 30,000, so the latest car model of around 200,000 is 330TSI? Deluxe edition, with a guide price of 237,900 and a terminal price of 208,900.
LaCrosse: Buick family has two cars in the field of medium-sized cars, but considering the product positioning, we chose LaCrosse 652T? Luxury, the guide price is 239,800, and the terminal price is 206,800.
Accord: The 200,000-mark Accord has 1.5T and 2.0L+ hybrid cars to choose from. Of course, we recommend hybrid, so the final version is sharp hybrid? 2.0L？ Sharp collar version, the guide price is 2 1.98 million, and the terminal price is 201.80 million.
● Vehicle design ●
We won't make a comparison between the exterior and the interior, but only make a general description. After all, there are thousands of people in aesthetics, which is difficult to quantify.
The tenth generation Sonata is the youngest one at first glance, but the design language of the whole vehicle is too sharp and avant-garde, which is understandable for some consumers. Passat is not only calm, but it is also true that the interior is a bit old-fashioned; LaCrosse has a good sense of luxury, a strong business atmosphere and a strong sense of atmosphere. Accord is not top-notch in all aspects, but it can't find anything wrong. ...
These four cars gave me the impression that I bought Sonata at the age of 20, Accord at the age of 25, Passat and LaCrosse at the age of 30.
● Size space ●
Although the design cannot be quantified, the size and space can. These four cars are all front-wheel drive models, and the engines are laid out horizontally, so they are fair.
From the data, it is not difficult to find that the LaCrosse is the largest in both volume and internal space, which also means that it has the best loading capacity and space comfort. Of course, its larger size and wheelbase are also related to its business positioning. Passat and Sonata are similar in appearance size and wheelbase. Sonata's advantage is small, but because of its square design, Passat has a good look and feel and actual space. As for the Accord, not only the body is smaller than the previous car, but also the wheelbase is much shorter, especially compared with the LaCrosse, it feels even worse by one level.
So this appraisal project is LaCrosse > Sonata > Passat > Accord.
● Power system ●
Powertrain is the key link to test whether a medium-sized car is worth buying. In addition to the Accord, the other three cars are equipped with 2.0T engines, which can be said to have reached a quite mainstream level.
Sonata has the best dynamic parameters. Its 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 240 HP (176.5 kW) and a peak torque of 353 Nm, matching with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is about 7.8 seconds, while the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 6.9L.
Although Passat is also equipped with a 2.0T engine, it is a low-power version of EA888, and its parameters are not outstanding. The maximum power of this engine is 186 HP (137 kW) and the peak torque is 320 Nm. Matching it is a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which accelerates about 8.4 seconds per 100 kilometers. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 6.3L.
The LaCrosse's power parameters are also very strong, second only to Sonata among the four cars. Its 2.0T has a maximum power of 237 HP (174 kW) and a peak torque of 350 Nm, matching with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is about 7.2 seconds. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 6.9L When it comes to acceleration, the LaCrosse is undoubtedly the best among these cars.
The Accord is different from the previous car. Its power system is a combination of 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and motor. It is a weak hybrid model, equipped with E-CVT continuously variable gearbox, and pays more attention to ride comfort. Although the Accord does not accelerate quickly, its fuel consumption is the least, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is only 4.2L per 100 kilometers.
If the acceleration is taken as the scale, the ranking is LaCrosse > Sonata > Passat > Accord; If the fuel consumption is taken as the yardstick, it is Accord > Passat > Sonata > LaCrosse, just the opposite.
● Active and passive safety ●
Active and passive safety systems are regarded as the "conscience" of the OEM. A car that can work hard in this area and spend money is definitely good. So, how do these four cars perform? (Because there are too many active and passive security configurations, we hide the configurations that everyone has and choose different items. )
Sonata and Accord are both "good classmates", and the active and passive safety configuration can be said to be armed to the teeth. In particular, Sonata has not only front and rear airbags, but also knee airbags. Compared with this, Accord has more road traffic sign recognition and passive pedestrian protection, but lacks a parallel assistance.
Passat and LaCrosse are like two "He is my brother". Although the active and passive safety equipment of these two cars is good, it is obviously not as rich as Accord and LaCrosse. Compared with these two cars, LaCrosse has more passive pedestrian protection and Passat has more active braking. As for lane departure warning, lane keeping and fatigue driving reminder, neither of these two cars has it.
So in terms of active and passive safety, Sonata = Accord > LaCrosse = Passat.
● Vehicle-machine interconnection ●
Vehicle-engine interconnection system is the main form of attracting young consumers for the next car, so it has also become a product element that OEMs pay more attention to. Although the joint venture car started late in this respect, it has also developed very rapidly.
As a newly released product, Sonata has absolute advantages as a latecomer. Its screen has reached 12.3 inches, with navigation, voice recognition and so on? Functionally, the speaker is also JBL, but the disadvantage is that the in-vehicle system only supports Carlife, which seems to be not very friendly to Apple users.
Passat and LaCrosse are similar in configuration. Both cars support Carlife and Carplay. Passat's advantage lies in its larger screen, but LaCrosse has more functions, such as USB, Type-C and other mobile phone interfaces, and also supports OTA upgrade.

In this respect, the Accord is a complete failure. The interconnection function between the car and the machine is almost zero, while the other three cars are not much different, and the configuration is the same level, so Sonata = LaCrosse = Passat > Accord.
● Driver assistance system ●
Driving assistance is the main direction of automobile evolution at present, and its ultimate goal is to realize fully automatic driving. At present, the main task is to reduce the driving intensity of drivers and ensure the safe driving of vehicles.
From the configuration point of view, the driving assistance functions of these four cars are not much different, and the Sonata has the most complete functions; Passat doesn't have a reversing warning system, LaCrosse doesn't have a front radar, and the cruise system has a fixed speed cruise and no automatic parking function. Accord has no front and rear radar and reversing side early warning system, but has increased variable steering ratio.
The evaluation of this project is Sonata > Passat > Accord = LaCrosse.
● Comfortable configuration ●
As for the comfort configuration, these four cars have different levels, but it can be found from the configuration table that Sonata still occupies the first place, with steering wheel heating, seat heating, ventilation, 64-color ambient lights, and even boss button and rear seat heating. It can be said that the configuration is armed to the teeth.
Passat's comfortable configuration should not be underestimated. The front seats also support heating, ventilation, memory and other functions. , as well as wireless charging, rear sunshade, induction wiper and other functions. Its biggest highlight is lighting, not only full LED light source, but also steering headlights, steering auxiliary lights, LED fog lights and so on. ...

The configuration of LaCrosse is slightly inferior to Sonata and Passat, and its functions are mainstream, but it lacks some details. For example, the seat only supports heating and not ventilation. The configuration of the Accord is even less common. The headlights are halogen, which has a certain gap with the other three cars in comfort.
In terms of comfort configuration, Sonata > Passat > LaCrosse > Accord.
abstract
Generally speaking, these four cars have their own distinctive features:
In terms of price, although Sonata has a high configuration, its brand power is not strong enough, and the terminal price and value preservation rate in the later period are worrying.
Passat, though it didn't get the best appraisal, didn't delay, which can be said to be the representative of product force balance.
The advantage of LaCrosse lies in its luxurious design, good space and strong power, but the driver assistance system and comfort configuration are lacking.
Accord is the best in active and passive safety and fuel consumption, but the interconnection of vehicles and engines, comfortable configuration and space are the worst, and the model has a distinct personality.
