If you have 500,000, how should you choose between the new Chrysler Grand Veyron PHEV and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class?

There is a saying circulating in the MPV market: MPV is either the first car for entrepreneurs or the "third" car for rich people. The most representative example of the former is the GL8. For many people who buy it, it is not just a car, but also a career and a job. The latter represents a real consumption upgrade. Not only does the car require more good-looking, more comfortable and luxurious cars, but it can also be used for multiple purposes to meet more people's family and business travel needs. Currently, representative products in the country mainly include domestically produced models such as the Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Buick GL8 Avenir, as well as imported Toyota Alphard, Chrysler Grand Voyager and other models. Compared with the high profile of the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Toyota Alphard, and Buick GL8 Avenir, many people may not be familiar with the Chrysler Grand Voyager. On the one hand, the Grand Voyager has been introduced into the country as a pure import and is relatively niche; on the other hand, it is luxurious. The MPV market is mostly occupied by Buick GL8 Avenir, Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Alfa and other models. Although it is not well-known in China, Chrysler Grand Voyager has the highest sales volume and status in the global MPV market. The origin of the MPV model was in 1977. At that time, in order to meet people's needs for more travel, Chrysler planned to launch a box-type car that was convenient for travel, so it launched a project called "T115 Project" and planned to develop a new small box-type travel car; in 1983, Chrysler created a brand new concept: MPV multi-purpose vehicle, and named this landmark product Voyager. To date, Chrysler's cumulative global sales of Grand Voyager have exceeded 14.6 million units. The 2019 Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV model has been revised in October this year, and it is also imported into the country. This time we will compare the Mercedes-Benz V-class model with the same price and take a look at the luxury MPV model Mercedes-Benz V worth 500,000 yuan. How to choose between the 2019 Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV and the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV? The appearance of the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV and IKEA is obviously different in style. The Mercedes-Benz V-Class has a calm and majestic appearance, tough lines, a strong business atmosphere and a strong aura, but it is precisely this square shape design that makes the Mercedes-Benz V-Class more suitable as a business car rather than a home. On the other hand, the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV does a better job in this regard. The all-new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV has an elegant and steady exterior design while incorporating more young and fashionable elements. The body lines are a bit more sporty and fashionable than the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. The style is closer to the Buick GL8 Avenir, and it looks more like a milkshake. Dad's car. Of course, appearance is only one aspect. After all, consumers at this level want more than just this. The nature of IKEA is also reflected in the car. The interior of the Mercedes-Benz V-Class still maintains its usual business atmosphere. For example, large-area wood grain decorative panels are used in the car to highlight the class of the entire vehicle; while the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV creates pure American luxury and can Everything it touches is covered in leather. As a commercial vehicle, it is not inferior to the Mercedes-Benz V-Class for picking up customers and conducting business negotiations. At the same time, the interior of the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV uses contrasting colors with dark and light colors, and a three-section panoramic sunroof (the Mercedes-Benz V-class segmented sunroof is optional and costs 27,000 yuan) to increase the sense of openness inside the car. Create a warm home atmosphere. In addition to business reception, the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV can perfectly serve as a daddy car, which is something that the Mercedes-Benz V-Class cannot provide. Whether it's a business trip or a trip to buy groceries for dad, as an MPV model, the interior space must be large. The Mercedes-Benz V-Class and the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV each have their own advantages in terms of space. Let’s look at the body size first. The wheelbase of the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is longer, reaching 3200mm, and the body is taller, so the headroom and legroom are better. The new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV has an advantage in body width, which is more than two meters. It is 109mm and 159mm wider than the Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Buick GL8 Avenir respectively, making it almost the widest in its class. As a result, the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV has plenty of lateral space inside. Although the body is slightly lower, it does not affect the headroom of passengers. There is no problem in actually experiencing the seating space of these two cars. However, the advantage of the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV is that it has a more flexible interior space. Its third row of seats can be folded down in proportion to form a flat space, and the second row of seats can be adjusted and removed according to different usage scenarios; after all the second and third rows of seats are folded down, the maximum trunk volume Reaching an astonishing 3978L, it can easily handle whether it is loading cargo or traveling long distances. The configuration of the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV beats the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. As a luxury MPV model, configuration must be the focus of everyone's attention. The new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV's performance in this aspect is very comprehensive. Especially the active and passive safety configurations. The new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV is equipped with 8 airbags, merging assist, lane departure warning, 360-degree panoramic images, adaptive cruise, etc., and these active and passive safety configurations are all featured in the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. No; in terms of comfort configuration, the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV has more keyless entry/start, remote start, active noise reduction, heated steering wheel, and rear tray table than the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV is the only one in its class equipped with a kick-sensor electric tailgate and the only kick-sensor automatic double-side sliding door in its class, which is very practical. Although both models use an 8.4-inch large central control screen, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class large central control screen does not support touch operations, and does not have Carplay and Carlife functions, making it slightly less practical. The 3.6L V6 hybrid system has obvious advantages. Finally, I have to mention the power system, which is also the most attractive aspect of the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV to consumers. A plug-in hybrid system composed of a 3.6L V6 naturally aspirated engine and two drive motors, and matched with an E-CVT gearbox, sounds attractive enough. This kind of powertrain has almost no rivals at the same level. The running quality of the V6 engine is something that a four-cylinder engine cannot provide. At the same time, it is assisted by two drive motors. Both the power response and the driving quality are better than those of the Mercedes-Benz V-class 2.0T engine. It's better to use a 7AT gearbox. In addition, the 2019 new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV can travel on pure electric power up to 71km, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of only 1.8L per 100 kilometers, and a comprehensive driving range of more than 950km. After comparison, let’s look at this question again: How to choose between the 500,000 yuan luxury MPV Mercedes-Benz V-Class and the new Chrysler Grand Voyager PHEV? I think the answer is already clear. In summary, the Chrysler Grand Voyager, which has a leading position in the MPV industry, has been in business for thirty-six years.
