Therefore, SUV models with avant-garde design, advanced technology, spacious space and comfortable driving experience are welcomed by the younger generation.
Today, the professor found two representative young and avant-garde SUV models on the market-Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star with joint venture pedigree and Geely Job PRO representing independent brands, to see what kind of experience they can bring, and what is the difference between similar products launched by joint ventures and independent brands?
As an important commodity that can be used as a part of personal image, design is the key part that most consumers pay attention to when choosing a car. Excellent design can often directly guide consumers to make a decision to book a car.
For Dongfeng Nissan Xinghe Geely PRO, they obviously have two completely different design styles.
In the modeling part, Dongfeng Nissan Venus adopts a brand-new V-Galaxy starry front face, and the large-size polygonal air intake grille adopts a black grid mesh shape, and the grid is inlaid with shiny triangle decoration, which makes the front face look exquisite like a starry sky. Double-star LED headlights are connected to the China Net, and combined with the silver decorative strip running through the front face at the top, the visual width of the front face is obviously improved.
The side lines and curved surfaces of the car body are full of tension. 19-inch cut aluminum alloy wheels are painted in silver and black, and with through LED taillights, the appearance of Dongfeng Nissan Venus looks extremely heavy, atmospheric and high-grade.
In contrast, the shape design of Geely Job PRO is more radical, using Geely's iconic echo net, and the front face layer adopts a contour shape similar to a shield logo, combined with the two protrusions on the hood and the air inlet design with a large front enclosure area, creating a shape that emphasizes the sense of movement.
At the same time, the waistline and tail shape of the car body have also maintained a tough style, and the irregular taillights are connected by silver trim strips to enhance the visual width.
Although the styling design of Geely Job PRO is radical, due to many lines and shapes, the overall styling is a bit messy, and the overall sense of styling design is a bit insufficient.
Inside the carriage, the interior is the place where users can feel the design level best.
Nissan Kai Cheng Star adopts T-shaped central control layout, and the air outlet with adjustable air is matched with silver decorative strips to achieve the surrounding effect, which greatly enhances the air sense in the front row.
15.6 inch floating central control touch screen, with vertical screen layout closer to consumers' habits of smart devices. Combined with the design idea of full touch and the application of full LCD instrument panel, the central control looks very scientific and technological.
There is a large area of diamond-shaped stitching leather package on the seat and door panel, which not only brings high-grade and exquisite visual experience, but also has an impressive performance in touch.
Geely Job PRO adopts a conservative design scheme, rich central control lines, and realizes a sense of central control layering through irregular silver decorative strips. Through the application of black plastic, silver decorative strips, imitation leather and other materials, the layering of central control is enhanced; But it also increases the visual thickness of the central control and affects the impression of emptiness.
In addition, although the size of the central control touch screen has reached 12.3 inches, the screen adopts a more traditional horizontal layout and retains the key-type air conditioning control buttons; Although this design is slightly lacking in science and technology, some consumers prefer this traditional design idea of retaining physical buttons.
Although young consumers want to show their individuality when buying a car, as an important way of family travel, the performance between the car and the air also needs full attention. A car that makes every family member comfortable is a good car.
In terms of interior space, Dongfeng Nissan Venus has obvious size advantages, with the body length, width and height reaching 469 1mm and 1.905mm, respectively, and the wheelbase reaching 2756mm, which is in a leading position in its class.
The long wheelbase allows Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star to have excellent rear empty space. Nissan's big sofa is soft and comfortable, and the inclination angle of the rear seat cushion and backrest is also optimized and adjusted according to the riding habits of Chinese people. The combination of the rear flat platform and the panoramic skylight that greatly enhances the opening feeling of the carriage makes every passenger in the back row get a spacious and comfortable ride experience.
It is worth noting that the front seats can provide massage function, as well as the "queen's co-driver". This co-pilot seat with a big tripod, four-way adjustable lumbar support, massage function, welcome function and voice control function can make the goddess and his wife next to him get a first-class ride experience.
In addition, Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star optimizes the seating space by optimizing the seat design and flattening the platform, while maintaining excellent tailgate space. In addition to the normal operation of the fully parallel luggage compartment, there is even a clever design of double partitions, which greatly improves the flexibility of the rear compartment.
This excellent performance of empty trunk is largely attributed to ram exhaust muffler, which can greatly reduce the occupation of empty trunk, although the cost is high.
As for Geely Job PRO, its body size is obviously different from that of Dongfeng Nissan Xing Kai, and the wheelbase of 2670mm is 86mm shorter than that of Dongfeng Nissan Xing Kai, which directly leads to the performance of Geely Job PRO in the hind legs.
Moreover, due to the short cushion in the middle of the back seat, the filling material is not as soft as Dongfeng Nissan Venus, so the comfort performance of the back seat is slightly insufficient.
But what needs to be affirmed is that Geely Job PRO's performance in driving sense is also remarkable, because it provides a panoramic skylight like Dongfeng Nissan's seven stars.
In this era of rapid development of science and technology and rapid popularization of scientific and technological equipment, the configuration of cars is becoming more and more abundant, and even consumer models often take rich configuration as a selling point. Whether it is Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star with joint venture pedigree or Geely Job PRO representing its own brand, their configurations are very rich.
At present, the mainstream safety and assisted driving configurations on the market can be found in these two models, including adaptive cruise, tire pressure monitoring, lane departure warning, 360-degree panoramic images and other common configurations.
However, Dongfeng Nissan Kai Chenxing still shows its advantages in configuration. The whole car enters without a key, and the W-HUD intelligent pilot's head-up display system and built-in driving recorder can significantly improve the convenience of the car.
In the huge 15.6-inch central control touch screen, the professor was deeply impressed by the flagship processor of 8-core CPU and the ninth-generation Android intelligent operating system in terms of operating fluency and UI design. This experience is very similar to using a tablet.
Built-in Cheng Kai intelligent system CCS4.0 can provide voice recognition control system covering multimedia, navigation, telephone, air and skylight adjustment functions, and support car networking applications and online OTA upgrade functions.
Through the full LCD dashboard, the central control touch screen and the three-screen interconnection of mobile phone screens under the control of Qichen Zhilian APP, users can directly send navigation information to cars through their mobile phones, and realize the ar real-life navigation function through the central control screen and LCD dashboard.
The car's rich online entertainment function can not only get online music, audio books, news and other common online entertainment, but also use built-in good-looking videos, iQiyi and other video applications, and even enable the singing app to make the car move KTV every second.
In contrast, Geely Job PRO's in-vehicle system also has common networking practical and entertainment applications such as Tencent map, online music and radio. And like Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star, it has a car KTV function based on singing app, and it also has excellent performance in system functionality and intelligence.
However, because the screen size is only 12.3 inches, which is much smaller than the 15.6 inch screen of Dongfeng Nissan Venus, and the traditional embedded horizontal screen layout is adopted, the video application and touch interaction experience are not as smooth as that of Dongfeng Nissan Venus.
In this era when major car companies are emphasizing the intelligence of cars and machines, it is not enough to have mainstream applications. Only by enhancing functions and adopting designs that are more in line with the usage habits of contemporary smart devices such as Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star can consumers better enjoy the fun and convenience brought by technology configuration.
In addition, as a new member of the "five-star family", Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng's performance in the safety part is also commendable, and it has achieved six excellent results in the rigorous crash test of China Insurance Research Institute.
Dongfeng Qicheng Star is also equipped with Bosch safety assistance system, which contains many rare but extremely practical active safety functions, such as BSW blind zone warning, DOA door opening warning, EAPM accelerator pedal error intelligent correction and so on.
On Geely Job PRO, it is equipped with L2-level automatic driving assistance system, which can provide lane keeping assistance. In this assisted driving configuration, it is indeed richer than Dongfeng Nissan Xingkai. However, in the part of active safety configuration, it is slightly inferior to Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star, especially lacking a very practical EAPM throttle intelligent correction function, and the head-up display system that helps to avoid the driver's distraction also needs additional optional configuration.
Judging from the number of assisted driving functions, Geely Job PRO is obviously a richer and more avant-garde model; However, in the real car scene, compared with the assisted driving function, Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng's more mature and easy-to-use Bosch safety assistance system is more reassuring.
In addition to configuration, young people buying a car will put forward high requirements for the driving experience; As a daily commuter car, only a comfortable and refreshing car can attract the attention of young people.
Speaking of power experience, the peak torque of Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star 190 HP and the torque of 260 Nm make it have the leading power performance at the same level. If you choose the Star Edition and above, you can get a 48V light hybrid supercharging system. It has obvious comfort improvement effect for stopping and driving on low-speed roads in cities.
With the help of the 48V light-mixed supercharging system, the starting action of Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star is smoother and quieter, and the engine start-stop system has not brought obvious nuisance to the passengers in the compartment. Compared with the car of the same class without 48V mixed light system, the comfort performance of Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star in urban road conditions is obviously better.
In addition, Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng adopted the leading Valeo 48V high-power motor, cooperated with the power lithium battery, the system control strategy developed by Dongfeng Nissan and the battery management BMS system, which increased the torque by 20% and brought excellent power experience. The traditional start-stop system has the functions of sliding stop, starting and assisting, which can reduce the fuel consumption of NEDC 10%.
Geely Job PRO also provides 1.5T engine, but it can only output 177 horsepower. However, except for the only intelligent four-wheel drive equipped with a 48V light mixing system, all other vehicles are driven by pure fuel.
During the professor's actual test drive, we can feel that this power system can provide a good power experience when driving fiercely, and the shifting speed and logic of the gearbox are excellent. However, under urban road conditions, the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox will occasionally experience obvious setbacks when driving at low speed, which is obviously not a good thing for the comfort of urban commuting.
In terms of chassis, both models adopt the former McPherson rear multi-link fully independent suspension system, but each adopts a completely different adjustment style.
Nissan Qicheng Star obviously pays more attention to ride comfort. The slightly soft damping system can filter the potholes on the road very well, and at the same time, it will not show excessive body jitter when facing long-wave vibration like some models with too soft damping system, and show excellent driving stability when cruising at high speed.
As for Geely Job PRO, it chose a more solid and sporty adjustment style; The damping system can retain more road information, and the body posture is more stable in corners, but it is slightly bumpy when facing large potholes or speed bumps, and its comfort performance is not as good as that of Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star.
There is no doubt that Dongfeng Nissan Qicheng Star and Geely Job PRO are excellent. The fashionable SUV specially designed for the needs of young consumers has brought outstanding performance in shape design, configuration and driving experience.
For those consumers who love driving, they may find Geely Job PRO more attractive. But for most consumers who want to buy a car that can not only show their personality, but also meet their household needs and enjoy a comfortable journey with their family and friends, Dongfeng Nissan Seven Stars is obviously the best choice.
