Since both BMW and Audi have mentioned it, it certainly makes no sense not to bring Mercedes-Benz. It is only a matter of time before the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLA is listed in China. So how to choose the entry personalized SUV of BBA III? As usual, let's compare it from three aspects.
Buy a personalized SUV and like it. It is certainly unconvincing to insist on grading their designs. Then let's take a look at the modeling characteristics of the three cars, so that everyone can have a preliminary understanding of the three cars.
Audi Q3 coupe can basically be understood as the ordinary Q3 with a part of the roof removed. The roof line of Q3 coupe is very smooth, and the connection with the rear is also very natural. Among the configurations listed this time, there is a model named "45TFSI quattro Customized Premium Edition", which uses matte cement gray paint and has excellent visual effects.
Continue to look at the interior of Q3 coupe. In fact, I quite like the interior design of this generation of Q3, and the overall style is simple and clear. A new generation of touch MMI system is placed in the middle, and the air conditioning panel below is a combination of knobs and buttons, which is very convenient to use. If you insist on picking a thorn, some consumers may not like its mechanical gear. In fact, this is also related to everyone's psychological expectations. Audi's sense of science and technology has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. With preconceived ideas, everyone will think that this mechanical gear looks a bit different.
The second car is BMW X2. Its design style draws lessons from some classic BMW models, but it is useless for our consumers, and at most it adds some talk. The BMW X2 is a crossover, not as big as an SUV, but closer to the style of a hatchback. In addition, the side window area of BMW X2 is relatively small, which is also a common design of sports cars.
In the interior part, the interior design of F-generation BMW is here. Although nothing new, I personally like this generation of M sports steering wheel, with more moderate ring thickness and more beautiful style. Domestic BMW X2 offers three sets of interior colors, all black, black brown and black red. It is recommended to use all-black or black-brown color matching, which basically covers the configuration version of the kingpin.
The brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLA has not been listed in China, and it can only be said through the official map. It should be said that this is an expected replacement, not disappointed, but not unexpected. The outline of the new car is not much different from that of the previous generation. Of course, detail design is definitely the latest technology. The new GLA shortens the body while increasing the wheelbase, so the length of its front and rear suspension is reduced compared with the previous generation.
The interior of the new GLA is the most eye-catching of the three cars. Mercedes-Benz's dual screen has a sense of luxury and technology. This screen design is quite eye-catching at night with the cooperation of the ambient lights in the car. Many people can't walk when they see the interior of Mercedes-Benz, which is definitely a big selling point of the new GLA.
Consumers who buy personalized SUVs don't usually use them in the back row, so today we focus on the practicality of the trunk. A table looks at the trunk space of three cars. Overall, Mercedes-Benz GLA has a slight advantage in this comparison.
Recently, everyone is discussing that the bad habits of motor vehicle drivers using rearview mirrors in China often lead us to see some incredible driving behaviors on the road. In fact, the correct driving habits have a particularly high requirement for the interior rearview mirror, because it allows us to observe the driving state and road information of the rear vehicles and facilitate driving operation. A rear-sliding SUV like Audi Q3 coupe will have a certain impact on the view of the rear window due to the larger inclination angle of the rear window glass. Facing this problem, the most effective solution is to use the flow rearview mirror, but Q3 coupe does not have this function, so we can only pay attention when using the car.
Last year, I drove the Audi Q3 in Xinjiang for a whole day. From Turpan to Korla, the power performance of the 2.0T low-power model of 40TFSI is brisk and lively. The steering feeling is light, but the pointing is accurate and the chassis is neutral, which is the style that most people like. Coming to the Q3 coupe listed this time, we can see some clues from the configuration table. The new car has reduced 1.4T models, but added more 2.0T high-power four-wheel drive models. From the feedback of test drive, the chassis adjustment of Q3 coupe is more tough than that of ordinary Q3, and the extremely fast acceleration ability of 2.0T high-power four-wheel drive model should make drivers have more control fun than ordinary models.
Last year, the domestic BMW X2 went on the market, and I participated in the track experience and the city test drive. The test drive models are all equipped with four-wheel drive versions. 192 HP 2.0T engine is matched with four-wheel drive system and 8AT gearbox, and the power performance is just right. BMW X2 is a car that pursues movement and control. It leans slightly when cornering, giving people strong driving confidence. At this time, the four-wheel drive system will also help. When driving through bending center, you can give oil boldly to keep the posture of the car body very stable. When I came to the city, I was deeply impressed by the tough chassis style and delicate steering feel. With this foundation, even the two-wheel drive version of X2, its driving pleasure will not be much worse.
For the new Mercedes-Benz GLA, please refer to the GLB, 1.3T high and low power engines that have been listed. There must be a premium, but those consumers who like Mercedes-Benz don't really have much pursuit of driving, and they are basically ok. The previous generation GLA's dual clutch gearbox lost some points, and I hope the new generation models can be optimized.
As competitors, the three cars have some subtle differences.
Audi Q3 coupe, with high scientific and technological value and strong sense, may not have much sense of participation in driving, but it is very fast. Driving fast is also a pleasure.
BMW X2 is not the latest product, but the overall driving quality and design level, including terminal concessions, are hard to refuse.
Mercedes-Benz GLA may still be attractive to those female consumers. This set of interiors is really lethal here, and even willing to pay more for it. This is the power of brand and design.
