Relying on high cost performance and differentiated positioning, it has achieved good results since listing, and monthly sales of over 10,000 have become the norm. However, I am not satisfied with this. I have previously expressed my hope to hit the goal of selling 30,000 vehicles a month through the strategy of "big single product", which can be described as ambitious.
The ambitious goal naturally needs products as support, so, following the new generation, the Kunpeng version was recently launched.
From the product point of view, the biggest highlight of Kunpeng Edition is the addition of 2.0T power system. This power system and the previously equipped 1.6T+7DCT belong to the newly released "Kunpeng Power", with advanced technology and excellent actual performance. Then, for the vast number of consumers, how should Kun Peng’s two power systems be chosen?
The difference is 10 thousand, is the 2.0T model worth it?
According to the official news, the price range of Kunpeng version 1.6T model is 121,900-134,900 yuan, and the price range of 2.0T model is 131,900-144,900 yuan. The price difference between the two power models is 10,000 yuan, and the configuration is basically the same. In other words, the difference of 10,000 yuan between the 1.6T model and the 2.0T model mainly comes from the power system.
What can consumers get if they spend ten thousand yuan more? This 2.0T engine is actually developed on the basis of the 1.6T engine. Besides the displacement increase, the combustion system, thermal management system and NHV system of the engine have been upgraded, so its power, fuel economy and running quality are all better.
In terms of parameters, the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 187kW, the peak torque is 390N·m, and the official acceleration time is 7.5 seconds, which is much faster than that of the 1.6T model in about 9 seconds. From the actual experience, the acceleration in the middle and rear sections of the 2.0T model is obviously more leisurely, which can bring more carefree power experience to drivers and better ensure the safety when overtaking. At the same time, because the base displacement is larger and the peak torque comes earlier, the 2.0T model does not need to increase the speed frequently to squeeze power, and the driving quality is better.
Of course, the power of the 1.6T model is not weak. The maximum power of 145kW and the peak torque of 290N·m are already in the leading position of small displacement engines, which can fully meet the power demand of daily vehicles. However, in front of the more powerful 2.0T model, the 1.6T model is slightly inferior.
Compared with the 2.0T model, the main advantage of the 1.6T model is fuel economy. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 6.9L/100km, while that of the 2.0T model is 7L/100km. This is mainly the difference caused by the different kerb quality-the ——1.6T model is 43kg lighter than the 2.0T model. However, from the advanced level of technology, the 2.0T engine is actually more dominant, and its thermal efficiency is higher, reaching 38% (the thermal efficiency of the 1.6T model is 37.1%). Moreover, the fuel consumption of 2.0T engine is only 0.1L more than 100 kilometers under the condition of stronger power and heavier kerb quality, which has already demonstrated its advanced nature.
To sum up, the author thinks it is worthwhile to spend an extra 10,000 yuan to buy a 2.0T model. After all, the fuel consumption performance gap between the two engines is very small, but the 2.0T engine has brought better driving quality and high cost performance.
Three configurations, which one is more cost-effective?
Kunpeng version 1.6T and 2.0T Power have launched three models: Winging version, Ride-by-Wind version and Boom-by-Boom version. As mentioned above, the configurations of the two power models are basically the same. The only difference is that 2.0T Ride-by-Wind version and Boom-by-Boom version have more front sound insulation glass than 1.6T Ride-by-Wind version and Boom-by-Boom version, and NVH performs better.
First, let’s look at the low-profile Winging Edition. Its basic configuration is quite rich. There are many practical configurations such as reversing image/radar, panoramic sunroof, LCD instrument, leather seat, main driving electric adjustment, 12.3-inch central control panel, automatic air conditioner and rear air outlet. However, it is a pity that the low-profile model lacks a very important side air curtain, and it is impossible to choose seven seats, which has compromised safety and practicality. As long as the budget is not particularly tight, the author does not recommend buying the Youth Pre-employment Edition.
The cost performance ratio of the Chinese version is the highest. Under the condition that the price is only increased by 5,000 yuan, it has increased the safety configuration such as side air curtain, panoramic image, LED headlights, rearview mirror heating, intelligent configuration such as remote start, voice system, car networking, electric adjustment of co-pilot, heating of front seats, and comfortable configuration such as indoor atmosphere lights. It is very sincere. Moreover, most of these configurations have a high frequency of use, which can bring a more convenient and comfortable car experience.
On the basis of the wind-by-wind version, the high-powered version further strengthens the intelligent configuration and comfortable configuration of vehicles, adding L2 driver assistance system, wireless charging, inductive tailgate, adaptive far and near light and other functions, and at the same time increasing the price by 8,000 yuan. In all fairness, it is not expensive to buy an L2 driver assistance system for 8,000 yuan, not to mention the improvement of other configurations. However, the current driver assistance system has no obvious effect in the city. If you are not running at a high speed for a long time, the significance of the whirlwind version is not great.
In short, Kunpeng version 1.6T and 2.0T models have good product strength, and the author recommends the latter with superior driving quality. Among the three configurations, the wind-driven version is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.
