Both mid- and high-end configurations are good. Buick Car Buying Manual

Bitauto Original Just the day before yesterday, that is, on the night of Friday (September 23), SAIC-GM Buick’s new compact SUV, Yangyan, was officially launched. Friends who have read the launch news must know that The high guide price range is 152,900-178,900 yuan, and there are four models with different configurations. Yes, there are only four models in the whole series. The number is not large, so it is not difficult to choose. Today, let me help you find out which of these four models is more cost-effective.

Model review:

But before we start the configuration analysis, let us briefly review the Buick Aura. In terms of appearance design, Yang Yang uses the PURE Design design concept derived from the Buick Electra-X concept car and launches a new "three-color shield" brand logo, bringing a refreshing feeling to consumers. .

On the front face, Yangyang also uses the popular split headlight design, but the larger LED daytime running lights above it will make people ignore the existence of the headlight group. Among the four high-profile models, there are two GS and non-GS models each. In addition to the GS exclusive logo, the GS model also has a sportier diamond-shaped grille inside the grille, while the non-GS regular version uses a chrome-plated banner grille. . In addition, the GS model also comes with black exterior mirrors, black wheels and red brake calipers.

The high-spirited body size is 4638*1816*1565mm and the wheelbase is 2700mm, which is considered a standard compact SUV. The side lines of the car body are very smooth, and the shadow of the Electra-X concept car can also be seen at the rear of the car. You must also know that the high-rise body shape is different from a traditional SUV and closer to a coupe SUV. Perhaps because of this, the high-rise body height is not high among models of the same level.

In terms of rim and tire configuration, the entry-level Yuexiang version is equipped with 17-inch rims, matched with 225/60 R17 tires; the other three models are all equipped with 18-inch rims. Use tires with specification 225/55 R18. As mentioned before, the all-black wheels and red brake calipers are exclusive to the GS model.

The high-spirited interior design also implements the PURE Design concept, and the overall atmosphere can also give people a strong sense of the Buick family. With the use of large areas of soft materials, the texture of the integrated cockpit is also good. Of course, I have to mention the dual screen consisting of two 10.25-inch LCD screens. After all, the dual-screen design has become a standard feature of new cars nowadays. In addition, Buick Yangyang retains the relatively traditional air-conditioning control panel, so everyone has their own preferences.

In terms of seat materials, the Aura GS uses a seat wrapping material that is a mix of leather and suede, while non-GS models will use a seat material that is a mix of leather and cloth. In terms of seat configuration, except for the Yuexiang version, all models will be equipped with an electric adjustment function for the main driver's seat. The heated front seats are only available on the top-of-the-line GS version. The configuration of the rear seats is the same for all series. Equipped with a rear armrest with cup holders, this deserves a thumbs up.

Judging from the previous space experience, the interior space of the high-rise car is good. An experiencer with a height of 178cm can get about a punch of headroom in the front and rear rows of the high-rise car, and the legroom in the rear row is also good. More than two punches. In addition, there are as many as 28 storage spaces in the high-end car. The conventional trunk volume is 421L. The rear seat backrests can be folded down in a 4/6 ratio or as a whole, and the maximum loading space can be expanded to 1273L. However, the electric tailgate is also a unique feature of the GS combustion version.

In terms of power, all Ang Yang series are equipped with a four-cylinder 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 135kW (184Ps)/5500rpm and a maximum torque of 250N·m/1500-5000rpm. The engine is matched with a CVT gearbox, and the vehicle suspension The frame adopts a combination of front MacPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.

Vehicle configuration analysis:

●1.5T Enjoy Edition/guide price 152,900 yuan

Okay, now let’s start the configuration analysis, starting with the Yuexiang Edition with a guide price of 152,900 yuan. As the entry-level model in the entire series, the configurations of the Yuexiang Edition are naturally not high, but some of them are available.Features include standard LED headlights for all series, openable panoramic sunroof, dual 10.25-inch LCD screens, and driving assistance functions such as lane departure warning, lane keeping, forward collision warning, and active braking. But overall, the Yuexiang Edition is still a way to lower the threshold of the model and is suitable for friends with a tight budget.

●1.5T Intelligent Edition/Guide price 159,900 yuan (Joy Edition + 7,000 yuan)

Then, there is the Intelligent Edition, which has a guide price of 7,000 yuan higher than the Yuexiang Edition. This 7,000 yuan can be exchanged for 18-inch wheels, leather steering wheel, keyless start, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, and reversing image. Practical configuration. Of course, the most important thing is that the Intelligent Enjoyment Edition also adds full-speed adaptive cruise compared to the Yuexiang Edition. With this function, the driving assistance function of the Intelligent Enjoyment Edition has reached the L2 level, so the guide price is 0.7 higher. Ten thousand yuan, I think it is still a good deal.

●GS 1.5T Tidal Edition/guide price 169,900 yuan (Smart Edition + 10,000 yuan)

After the two non-GS models, there is the high-spirited GS with sporty appearance packages. First, let’s take a look at the GS Tidal Edition with a guide price of 169,900 yuan. On top of the Smart Edition, with an additional budget of 10,000 yuan, you can get driving assistance functions such as reverse side warning, panoramic imaging, chassis perspective, and parallel assist. I would also like to talk about the panoramic image function here, because the entire Ascend series does not have front parking radar, so for some novice friends, I think the panoramic image is still very necessary. In addition, the GS Tidal Edition also adds comfort configurations such as automatic air conditioning, electric folding exterior mirrors, leather/suede mixed material seats, and the aforementioned appearance sports package. The product strength can be said to be improved in all aspects, so Recommended to give 5 stars.

●GS 1.5T burning speed version/guide price 178,900 yuan (GS tidal version + 9,000 yuan)

Finally, there is the top-of-the-line GS Burning Edition. The guide price is 9,000 yuan more expensive than the GS Tidal Edition. The configuration adds front keyless entry, electric tailgate, front row mobile phone wireless charging, and front seats. Comfort configurations such as heating and streaming rearview mirrors, and these are basically unique configurations of the GS speed version (streaming rearview mirrors are optional for other models), so friends who are in need of these configurations, You can only choose the top-of-the-line GS combustion speed version. Personally, I think the electric tailgate and front seat heating are indeed in high demand, so the GS combustion speed version can also get a relatively high recommendation value, but it would be better if these configurations could be decentralized.

Editor’s comments:

152,900--178,900 yuan, Buick's high guide price range is quite sincere. There is not much price difference between the four models in the series. The entry-level Yuexiang version also has some useful configurations, such as Dual 10.25-inch LCD screen, lane keeping, forward collision warning and active braking, etc. Of course, if the guide price is increased, the configuration performance of the Intelligent Enjoyment Edition and the GS Surge Edition will be even richer. The multiple exclusive configurations of the GS Burning Speed ​​Edition also determine its status as a top version, so in addition to the Enjoyment Edition, choose Any of the other three models has a relatively higher price/performance ratio. But in the end, I still want to say that it would be perfect if the heated front seats and electric tailgate could be lowered to the GS Tidal Edition.
