The Porsche matter is not over yet, and the apology is also apologized. The latest plan is to install the electric steering column for free and extend the warranty for one year, but it is expected to start in a few months…
Anyway, we can’t do anything about Porsche in this matter, but we can’t buy your car, so that’s the topic of today’s "Listen to the Parking". The Macan is Porsche’s most expensive car,Naked car 600,000 or so besides Macan, what other SUV can buy?
Macan is a sports mid-size SUV, so our protagonist is also this type of SUV. Of course, you can also buy some medium and large SUVs that focus on comfort. You will find that there are so many flowers and plants on the roadside, why choose Macan?
BMW X3 and X4 M40i
These two cars are equivalent toSix-cylinder versions of the X3 and X4Other similar cars on the market include the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC43 and Audi SQ5.
X3 M40i, X4 M40i just launched, pricing 629,900 and 659,900, equipped with B58B30C inline six-cylinder engine + ZF 8AT transmission, 333 horsepower, 500 Nm, 5.2 seconds to break 100.
The two cars belong to the M-Performance series. This series has not been introduced in China for a long time, and its reputation is not as big as that of the M series.In fact, it is equivalent to Audi’s S series. On the basis of ordinary models, it provides you with some performance enhancements, but the enhancements are not as strong as those of the M series.
Compared to direct competitors AMG GLC43 and Audi SQ5, the X3 M40i is the cheapest in terms of price, but BMW is actually cheaper than Audi? There is a reason why:
That is.castrationThe US standard has 382 horsepower and the European standard has 360 horsepower. The result is 333 horsepower in China, which is the ugliest data in the same level of BBA, because the US standard and the European standard also have a set of 48V light mixing. There is also a saying that they are all high-power B58 with independent exhaust manifolds, while ours is low-power, and the cylinder head is integrated with the exhaust manifold, which means that it is not just a matter of light mixing and adjustment, but almost from the root. Coupled with the credit of the GPF particle trap, it has become what it is now.
So in these two cars, the most intuitive impact is that the horsepower is dozens less than overseas, and the 100 is also a few tenths of a second slower than overseas. As the first batch of contestants after the return of the M-Performance series, the X3 and X4 M40i should have done a good job at the back, but now I have no expectations for the 340i and 440i.
What’s even scarier is that now BMW can’t brush the program because the new Bosch computer board locks the ECU. If you want performance, GLC43 and SQ5 can make 450 horsepower and break 100 in just under 4 seconds.You can stay at 333 horsepower forever, break the hundred in the early 5s,Your advantage is only the standard 21-inch wheels, while the GLC43 and SQ5 are both 20-inch wheels.
But in addition to these, regarding the performance configuration, it provides variable motion steering, sports suspension, high-performance calipers, sports differential… There are still some differences from ordinary X3 and X4.
X3M and X4M
But the X3 and X4 M40i are still very embarrassing, because the M series above the M-Performance series, the X3 has X3M, and the X4 has X4M. The cheapest X3M ordinary version here, the official guide price is 839,900, the discount is more than a dozen points, and there are even 70 small tens of thousands of naked cars, while the X3 and X4 M40i have no discount, so the actual price difference between them is narrowed toOnly a few tens of thousands remain…
So who to buy?BMW will always put the best in the M series without reservation.X3M ordinary version 480 horsepower, 4 seconds to break 100, far stronger than X3 and X4 M40i, if you want to choose X4 M40i to concave shape is right, but X4M ordinary version probably more expensive 100,000. X3M and X4M S58 engine, is BMW’s latest straight six emperor, the complete explosion of B58 this kind of home six cylinder machine, and you don’t have to worry about X3M and X4M too hard core, this high-performance SUV can still be home.
Mercedes AMG GLC43 and GLC43 Coupe
Below isGLC’s six-cylinder performance edition…
SUV-shaped GLC43 670,800, corresponding to X3 40i, coupe-shaped GLC43 Coupe 688,200, corresponding to X4 40i. Among BBA, Mercedes-Benz is always the most expensive.
However, these two cars are directly classified under the AMG brand.They don’t belong to Mercedes, they belong to AMG.Mercedes-Benz’s AMG, BMW’s M, and Audi’s RS are all BBA’s own high-performance brands or series, but these cars are too expensive. In the early years, BMW and Audi launched the M-Performance and S series in order to lower their prices, but they did not want to affect the B-grid of the M and RS series. As a result, this market segment between home and hardcore sold well.
Mercedes-Benz was envious. First, they launched their AMG Sport series, and then suddenly put all the AMG Sport series into the AMG brand, which is the origin of the AMG 43 series. There will be 35 and 53 series, which do not belong to the orthodox AMG with one person, one machine manual engine, and the engine does not have the signature of the assembly engineer. It goes against the tradition of AMG and is ridiculed by the owners of the 63 series, but does it matter? Those who were originally watching the M-Performance and S series were easily seduced, because there is no discrimination here. All owners have only one name, and that is the AMG owner.
Back in the car. 390 horsepower, 520 Nm, 4.9 seconds to break 100,It is the best looking data in the same level as BBA.Not only in data, but also in other places, GLC43 and 43 CoupeMore like a performance carFor example, they have a completely different front and rear surround and four-out rear row from the Beiben GLC. The highly recognizable vertical bar-type middle net is exclusive to the AMG family, while the X3, X4 M40i or SQ5 make it difficult to tell at a glance that this is not an ordinary BMW or Audi.
At the same time, the GLC43 cars are also the only ones in the same class as the BBAValve motion exhaustYes, and the X3 and X4 M40i, SQ5, don’t pay much attention to this aspect. I can even imagine that the sound of the X3 and X4 M40i must be the same as that of the chick, because the sound of the X3M and X4M is not as good as that of the GLC43. And GLC43Standard air suspensionThe X3 and X4 M40i do not have the SQ5 to spend 10,000 more options, but this air suspension and comfort is not too close.
And then the disadvantages.The three major items do not work.The M276 3.0 V6 twin-turbo engine sounds amazing? Have you seen how small the turbine is? And it’s too old. It’s a 10-year-old machine head that was eliminated by Mercedes-Benz. It has been replaced by the updated M256 in Mercedes-Benz, and currently only a few AMG 43 series cars are using it.
Overall, this car looks good in data, but in terms of hardware, it is no better than the X3 and X4 M40i, or SQ5. The only advantage is that you drive this car with an AMG logo on the back of your butt, while other cars are behind their butts, what M40i, what SQ5, who knows what you are.
Brand new C43
As for the market, GLC43 without optional packaging. 60 hours or even a naked car in your early 60s, 43 Coupe car less. And this car isIt’s about to be replaced.The new generation of GLC will be released next month, and the new C43 has also been released. It uses the M139 four-cylinder engine of the A45, plus 48V light mixing, electronic turbo, and rear-wheel steering. The GLC43, which belongs to the 43 series, is expected to be the same. Although it lacks two cylinders, its horsepower will exceed 400, and this time it has a signature.
In the future, 43 car owners can point to the nose of 63 car owners and say, I am the orthodox AMG. But if you have a big displacement feeling, then hurry up and copy it, and you can mock 63 car owners in the future. Your displacement is not as big as mine, because the next generation C63 and GLC63 are also the same four-cylinder plus plug-in mix.
Audi SQ5
SQ5 is the least existent.
632,800, but have you ever seen someone drive this car? Have you even seen this car in a 4S shop? I think this car is on the market, but few have come in at all.
This car is an EA839 engine, the same engine as the S4, you can also understand it as… a shell change of the old 3.0T Macan S.
The engine has great potential, but not many people buy this kind of SUV, especially if you buy the SQ5. Because this car is too low-key,Except for the four-way tail row and the Q5L dynamic model, there is no difference.Since you bought it, there is only one possibility, that is, you like its low profile.
The priority of this car is also among the BBAlowestOf course, the X3 and X4 M40i, as well as the GLC43 and 43 Coupe, have a big brother on them, while Audi doesn’t have an RSQ5 here, so you areBig Brother in Q5…
Domestic BMW X5, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90…
Of course, in addition to those cars, there are also domestic BMW X5, imported Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and Volkswagen Touareg. Of course, there are also Land Rover’s 3.0T Star Vein and 2.0T Discovery, Lincoln’s Aviator mid-range high-end, Genesis’s GV80 top-end, and Infiniti’s QX60 top-end. These cars are completely domestic and have nothing to do with sports. By the way, there is also Jaguar’s 3.0TF-PACE, but this car is too niche.
In other words, buying an SUV at this price ispicture endDo you want high performance or just enough comfort?
There is also a car that claims to be a direct opponent of the Macan,Maserati GrecaleOur budget can only buy the lowest GT version, 638,800, 2.0T, 300 horsepower, and the 2.0T Macan plus option is about the same price, but the Grecale is more powerful and has more space
Our benchmark model today is still the Macan, so let’s summarize the highest matching models, namely the X3 and X4 M40i, GLC43 and 43 Coupe, and SQ5.
In terms of performance, the overseas original X3 and X4 M40i are larger than GLC43, GLC43 is larger than SQ5, and SQ5 is larger than the domestic emasculated X3 and X4 M40i; at the household level, except for the X4 M40i and GLC43 Coupe, the rest are the same, probably like this.The most recommended GLC43, SUV shape, because the discount is the largest, but the landing is cheaper.
There is a gap between the six-cylinder and the four-cylinder. Anyone who buys the 2.0T Macan is more cost-effective than the 2.0T Macan, not to mention the small rear space of the Macan. If you want to be handsome, the X4 M40i and GLC43 Coupe are also very handsome. Unless you like the Porsche brand, but don’t forget that everyone knows that the 2.0T Macan is the cheapest Porsche. This car has long lost its luster on the road, but if someone sees you buy the BBA cars mentioned today, they may praise you: the owner seems to really understand cars.
In terms of brand, the Maserati Grecale is not bad either. Even the lowest GT version has a stronger product than the 2.0T Macan.No matter how hard the Porsche brand is, the 2.0T Macan is also the cheapest among them, and no matter how smelly the Maserati brand is, it is enough to support the Grecale.
