Power performance: As a fuel SUV, Boyue L provides two four-cylinder engines, 1.5T/181 horsepower and 2.0T/218 horsepower. The entire series is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The NEDC fuel consumption per 100 kilometers can be as low as 6.3L. The car enjoys a 4-year/100,000-kilometer warranty. It adopts front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the whole series is a front-wheel drive design.
Illustrated car review: Surprisingly, except for the Lynk & Co brand, Geely’s brand has received good response in both the fuel vehicle market and the new energy field. The former sales champion Haval H6 now has sales of 5,000-6,000 units per month. Only CS75 PLUS and Boyue L can maintain monthly sales of over 10,000 units. What is particularly rare is that the price of Boyue L is stable at around 100,000 units. As the CS75 PLUS replacement model is about to be launched, with comprehensive internal and external upgrades, if Boyue L does not catch up in terms of product strength in the short term, price reduction may become a necessary means to enhance competitiveness.
Chevrolet Equinox PLUS
Background of the price reduction: The monthly sales volume is only 340 units, but it is the best-selling SUV among the brands. If the price is not reduced, it may face more severe market challenges.
Appearance and size: Although the design language of the Equinox PLUS is not stunning, it also uses design elements such as a blackened grille and penetrating headlights. The lower surround design highlights the sense of presence, and the suspended roof and roof rack add a sporty atmosphere. Positioned as a medium-sized SUV, the length, width and height are 465319021714mm, and the wheelbase is 2730mm. The space performance is average among medium-sized SUVs.
Interior and configuration: The interior maintains the style of an American car. Although the center console has been simplified, it still has a rich sense of layering. The materials used are average, and the visual effect and sense of class are slightly lacking. The dual-screen design is adopted to enhance the sense of technology, the traditional gear lever is eliminated, and the layout is more regular.
Power performance: All series are plug-in hybrid models, equipped with a combination of 1.5T/180 horsepower four-cylinder engine and 190 horsepower motor, equipped with a 2-speed DHT gearbox, CLTC pure electric cruising range is 102/155km, and the minimum acceleration per 100 kilometers is 6.8 Seconds, the entire vehicle enjoys a three-year/100,000-kilometer warranty, and the three-electric system provides a lifetime warranty for the first owner.
Illustrated car review: The 2024 model has just been launched, and the terminal price reduction is limited. According to the price of some car owners, the reduction is about 10,000 yuan, which is far lower than consumer expectations. Judging from the product strength of Explorer PLUS, it is almost the same as Song PLUS, Song Pro and other models, but the starting price is close to 150,000, and there is still room for price reduction.
Star Era ET
Reason for price reduction: Market performance is sluggish, with monthly sales of 1,744 vehicles. Price reduction may bring about a turnaround.
Appearance and size: Positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, the design breaks through the previous Chery style, with significant improvements in appearance and size. The vehicle has a rounded shape and a strong sense of strength. It adopts a closed front face and a penetrating light strip design to add a sense of fashion. It does not adopt a fastback design, and the overall style is biased towards a fuel vehicle, making it look majestic and calm. The dimensions are 495519751698mm and the wheelbase is 3000mm, which provides ample space and a comfortable riding experience for the 5-seater SUV.
Interior and configuration: The interior design of Star Era ET is eye-catching, especially compared with previous models. The LCD instrument panel and floating central control display enhance the sense of technology. The central console has a simple shape with straight lines, and the through-type air-conditioning outlet adds a sense of hierarchy. The traditional barrier design is eliminated, freeing up more space. The mobile island has a novel concept and excellent visual effects. Equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and Horizon Journey combination, lidar only appears on extended-range top-end and pure electric mid-to-high-end models.
Power performance: It provides extended-range and pure electric version layouts. The extended-range version is equipped with a 1.5T/156-horsepower range extender and a 265-horsepower motor. The CLTC pure electric range has a range of 200km. The pure electric model provides two motor options of 313/480 horsepower. The CLTC pure electric range is available in 625/540/760km, and is divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. The Star Era ET vehicle enjoys a lifetime warranty policy for the first owner, making using the vehicle more convenient and worry-free.
Pictured car review: Unfortunately, although the wheelbase reaches 3 meters, a six-seater version has not been launched, otherwise there will still be gaps in the market to fill in this price range. If the threshold for intelligent driving can be lowered, it may be able to compete with models such as the Intelligent LS6. In addition to price, the current Star Era ET is facing an embarrassing situation in other aspects. As the price advantage gradually weakens, price reduction in exchange for volume has become an inevitable trend.
Volkswagen T-ROC Tange
Reason for price reduction: Volkswagen launched a price reduction offensive without warning, and the product line will also usher in a new round of price adjustments, and T-ROC is one of them.
Appearance and size: The exterior design continues the classic Volkswagen style, with sharp three-dimensional lines on the side body, and a through-light strip design at the rear that echoes the front face. Positioned as a compact SUV, the length, width and height are 433618191592mm, and the wheelbase is 2680mm. The space performance is quite satisfactory.
Interior and configuration: The interior design also follows the popular style, equipped with an LCD instrument panel and a suspended central control display, and uses chrome-plated materials to increase visual richness, but the overall visual effect is average and slightly cheap. The configuration performance is also relatively ordinary. The top model has a guide price of 179,900 and is only equipped with L2 level assisted driving system.
Power performance: It is equipped with two four-cylinder engines, 1.4T/150 horsepower and 1.4T/160 horsepower, matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox. The WLTC fuel consumption is the lowest 6.1L per 100 kilometers, the maximum power is 110/118kW, and the peak torque is 250 Niu Mi, the entire vehicle enjoys a 3-year/100,000-kilometer warranty.
Illustrated car review: At present, Tange has dropped by more than 30,000 yuan in the terminal market. Considering the starting price of 158,900 yuan, the price of the entry-level model has dropped to more than 120,000 yuan. However, compared with the price of Tuyue Xinrui, there is still a big gap, so there is still room for price reduction.
Buick Envision
Reason for the price reduction: As Buick’s only SUV with sales of over a thousand, the price reduction is to maintain its current market position.
Appearance and size: Positioned as a medium-sized SUV, the overall design style is relaxed and majestic. After the optimization of the front face, although it has lost the American car style, the large-size grille and split headlights are more in line with the mainstream aesthetics of the current market. The sides and tail continue the original style, appearing thick and powerful. The dimensions are 464118831638mm, and the wheelbase is 2779mm.
Interior and configuration: It adopts a dual-screen design with a rich sense of hierarchy. It is optimized based on the style of American cars and does not occupy too much leg space of the co-pilot. The physical buttons and traditional lever design are retained for a better control experience. Equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the smart driving software and hardware performance is slightly inferior.
Power performance: The entire series is equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system, providing two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. The four-wheel drive version is equipped with two four-cylinder engines, 1.5T/211 horsepower and 2.0T/237 horsepower, matched with a 9AT gearbox, and its book data and control experience are not inferior.
Envision currently has a price reduction of about 40,000 yuan in the terminal market. As a flagship SUV, the price of the entry-level model has entered the 150,000 range. But from the perspective of product strength, there is still room for price reduction. Considering that the sales volume of Verano has dropped to more than 60,000 units but has not exceeded 3,000 units, Buick should probably pay more attention to the performance of the SUV market.
