248hp + 8AT! Only 169800 of the joint venture compact SUV! Do you still buy CR-V?

In terms of appearance, the overall shape of the entry-level model is roughly similar to that of the high-end model, which does not give people the slightest sense of cheapness, but you can still identify it as a "low-equipped car" by many differences in details. Compared with high-end models, the front enclosure reduces the number of LED fog lights and chrome-plated decorations, and the visual effect is shrunk to a certain extent.

In the entry model, the far and near light groups all use halogen light source, which is slightly out of date. In terms of function, it supports automatic headlights, LED daytime driving lights, adjustable headlights and so on, and the performance of lighting configuration is relatively general.

Length, width and height: 4585/1882/1688mm

Wheelbase: 2710mm

Compared with the high-end model, there are three main differences in the side shape of the entry model: first, the lack of chrome trim on the upper edge of the window, the roof rack and the lower waistline; second, there is no rear privacy glass; third, the size of the rim is smaller.

The 17-inch two-color rim is dynamic and the tire size is 225ax 65 R17. The size is slightly smaller, the tire wall is also relatively thick, and the vision is not beautiful enough, but it is a good thing for consumers who often need to walk the bad road.

There is no obvious difference in the shape of the tail, the bilateral exhaust is also authentic, and the overall style is simple and full. In terms of configuration, the entry model is only equipped with reversing images, and the front / rear parking radar is not equipped, so it is recommended to be installed later.

The performance of the cockpit is unexpected, the interior shape is almost the same as the high-end model, and the workmanship and materials have not shrunk because it is an entry-level model. The center console covers a large area of soft material, the steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and the sense of grade is excellent enough.

The full LCD dashboard will only be available in a high-end model. In the entry-level model, the dashboard uses a mechanical pointer + 6.5-inch color display, and the performance is also very good in terms of display effect and content, which is completely acceptable. The 12.3in central control screen is standard throughout the department and supports navigation, voice recognition, car networking, OTA upgrade, etc., without "castration" in function.

In terms of seats, the top model is equipped with a leather / fur hybrid seat, the main driver seat supports 10-way electric adjustment (including waist support adjustment), the passenger seat supports 6-way electric adjustment, and has the front seat heating function; other models are equipped with imitation leather seats, the main driver seat supports 8-way electric adjustment (including waist support adjustment), and the passenger seat supports 6-way manual adjustment.

In addition to the configuration mentioned above, the entry model is also equipped with panoramic skylight, keyless start / entry, constant speed cruise, automatic air conditioning and other configurations, the overall configuration level is very good.

On the power side, the 2020 EcoBoost 245 two-wheel drive comes with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 248hp and a maximum torque of 393Nm, matched by an eight-speed automatic (8AT) transmission with an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.5 seconds.

Write at the end:

In terms of configuration level, the performance of entry-level models is commendable, compared with Japanese competitors of the same level and price, there is a lot of conscience. It has something to complain about (such as halogen headlights, no parking radar, etc.), but there are few obvious shortcomings.

2020 EcoBoost 245 two-drive style

Official guiding price: 179800 yuan

Of course, when the budget is not so tight, I recommend that you buy a sub-low-end model (the 2020 EcoBoost 245 dual-drive model). More chrome-plated decorations are used in appearance, the sense of refinement is obviously improved, and 18-inch rims, LED headlights, rear privacy glass, rear parking radar and other configurations are added. In contrast, I think it is more cost-effective to spend 10, 000 yuan more on sub-low-end models.
