116. The choice is not easy

Buying a car is a big deal, at least for the current Jinxiao family.

In fact, according to Jin Xiao's idea, a car worth only 300,000 yuan is just a means of transportation, so just buy it casually. But obviously, his idea is not recognized by his parents. In his parents' minds, the 300,000 is not a small number. They both work and have two houses to collect rent. After deducting their daily life, buying medicine for grandparents, and various social engagements, it is not easy to praise 20,000 to 30,000 a year.

Jin Xiao’s studies were not very good before high school. He spent 20,000 yuan in school selection fees in junior high school to exchange Jin Xiao from his own school district’s garbage school to the first-tier Experimental No. 1 Middle School, which was the best in Beiyun City. Jin Xiao’s grades in the middle school entrance examination were not good, so he had to spend tens of thousands to ask him to go to No. 3 Middle School, which was one of the best high schools in Beiyun City.

With the various expenses in the past, it can be said that most of the deposits of this family were spent on Jin Xiao, and the bank account was at most 100,000 yuan, which was a very difficult down payment for a house.

Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about Jin Xiao’s future wedding room, so the quality of life in this family has always been not too low.

Now that Jin Xiao has brought back 300,000 yuan, his father has been determined to buy a car, but because the family doesn’t have much foundation, since he buys a car, he must choose a good one and must consider all aspects. Otherwise, if he buys the car, he will be unsatisfied in the end. As long as he opens it from the Renjianai 4S store, he will have to discount the price on the spot. If he sells it, he will lose a lot. It is really not worth the loss.

It's better to buy it at one time.

Let’s summarize my dad’s requirements.

First of all, the price of naked cars is less than 300,000 yuan, which requires luxury brands to be face-saving, but cannot be under great economic pressure.

Secondly, the frequency of changing cars is relatively low, and it requires reliable quality and strong durability.

Again, it must be a SUV, which is atmospheric and practical, but the appearance cannot be too greasy.

Again, safety must be considered.

Finally, consider the country's ever-changing emission policies, and it is best to have a certain amount of advance.

The family discussed for a long time and watched it online for a long time. After searching through a map software for whether there were related after-sales stores in Beiyun City and the locations of various after-sales stores, several cars finally entered the family's vision.

First of all, Lexus ux. The appearance design of Lexus ux may not be summarized in a complete way. It is more in line with the standards of good-looking and nobleness that ordinary consumers think. The front face, side and rear of the car have sharp lines to create a sporty atmosphere. The spindle-shaped front grille, clear edges and angular body, through-type taillights and other elements are very recognizable. Back to reality, whether in traffic flow, temporarily parked on the road or in the parking lot, there are always many people stopping to watch. In terms of the return rate, it is much higher than the BBA models of the same level.

Since it has reached the 300,000 price range, there is no need to worry too much about the basic configuration. The interior, including the seats, steering wheel, center console and door panel lining, are made of large areas of soft leather, and the texture is good. This 260h    f      sprot model also has a relatively comprehensive active/passive safety configuration, knee airbags, lane departure assist, lane keeping assist, reversing side warning, active brake, etc., which is more in line with my father's aesthetic standards.

Lexus ux is a relatively good choice. First of all, the price is within a budget of 300,000 yuan, and Lexus' brand recognition is no longer necessary; secondly, the product quality and durability of the Lexus model are also well-known. On the premise of meeting my father's needs, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Lexus ux hybrid models as low as 4l and the policy of free maintenance for 6 years or 150,000 kilometers can also reduce the cost of daily use, and the high value retention rate can also reduce the loss of later car replacement. Overall, it is a good choice.

This is the first one.

The second alternative target is Volvo x40.

When it comes to Volvo, it is naturally inseparable from safety. The rich active and passive safety configuration makes many opponents ashamed. Lane departure warning, lane keeping, active braking, and fatigue driving reminder have all achieved standard configurations in the entire series, which is very real. In this high-end model, including induction tailgate, keyless entry of the entire car, remote start, front seat heating and other convenient and comfortable configurations are available. In the current special period, in addition to resisting external pollution, the XC40 with the "cleanzone clean cockpit" is difficult to smell. The application of environmentally friendly materials makes this car more secure.

The current terminal price of Volvo XC40 is very attractive. This four-wheel drive Zhiya sports version with a guide price of 354,800 yuan can also be included in the scope of consideration. In addition to the price slightly exceeding the car purchase expectations, 2.0t + four-wheel drive is also an important reason for recommending this model. In addition to improving the ability to cope with complex road conditions, daily driving can also bring a better driving experience. Luxury brand, 2.0t + four-wheel drive, terminal naked cars are priced over 300,000 yuan, and the cost-effectiveness is very good.

The third model is more tough, Benche glb.

The square and full shape is visually larger, meeting the general consumer's demand for SUVs. In terms of details, GLB almost maintains the same style as GLS. Although the lines of the vehicle are very full, they do not look rough, and it also has the momentum that a SUV model should have.

For the Mercedes-Benz brand, the configuration level is not its advantage, but the basic configuration of GLB is not bad. 18-inch wheels, cruise control, high-performance LED high and low beam, sliding panoramic sunroof, shift paddles, dual 10.25-inch touch screen, and active braking system are all standard. In addition, there are rich options. In terms of space, GLB's body size has certain advantages in the compact SUV. The wheelbase of more than 2.8 meters and 7-seat layout are great highlights, and it also provides stronger loading capacity.

For people like Jin Dad, if they can get worse, Mercedes-Benz will definitely not miss the brand. The super high brand recognition is quite good in any scenario. At a price of around 300,000, GLB is a choice worth considering. The stronger loading capacity and luxurious interior brought by the 7-seat layout are a great advantage compared to models of the same level.

However, the price is quite good, and the high-end one is almost 400,000 yuan. Although my dad is very excited, the possibility of buying this car is not high enough. After all, it is impossible to really spend a penny of the family’s money.

These three models are all considered good to my father, and the rest are of course good.

Mitsubishi Pajero Jinchang.

As the same famous as Prado, Mitsubishi Pajero Jinchang is definitely the perfect replacement. The 7-seat layout, a price of less than 300,000 yuan, and excellent off-road performance can be easily dealt with in cities and off-road. It is more worth mentioning that since joining the Dakar Rally in 1983, Mitsubishi has participated in a total of 26 competitions, won 12 championships, and won 7 team championships in a row. The contribution of Pajero Jinchang is indispensable, so it has also won the title of "King of the Surface", so there is no doubt about Pajero Jinchang's off-road performance.

Pajero Jinchang is equipped with Mitsubishi's second-generation super-selected four-wheel drive (ss4-2), which can not only realize full-time four-wheel drive at high speeds, but also convert to rear-wheel drive two-wheel drive mode in different road conditions, allowing drivers to easily cope with various road conditions. It also comes with a rear-wheel differential locking device at the same time as the Astc. With a non-load-bearing body, 45° maximum lateral driving angle, 30° approach angle, 24.2° departure angle and 23.1° pass angle and other configurations. No matter how demanding off-road road conditions are, they can maintain excellent handling and safety.

In terms of power, Pajero Jinchang is equipped with a 3.0l mivec v6 self-priming engine with a maximum power of 154kw and a maximum torque of 291n·m. It also has the advantages of low speed, high torque, miniaturization, lightweight, and low fuel consumption. It is matched with the Aixin 8at automatic transmission, and its powerful power output ensures that it can easily cope with various road conditions.

There is one thing that this car doesn't look very good. Anyway, with Jin Xiao's aesthetic, he really doesn't like this car.

My dad doesn't seem to like the appearance of this car very much, so it can only enter the alternative area.

The fifth model, Haval h9.

The independent hard-core off-road SUV Haval H9 is also a good choice. It is priced at over 200,000 yuan, and its burly and strong body shape exceeds the body size of the Prado. It is the aura that my father wants. Moreover, it is equipped with three differential locks in the front, middle and rear of the same class (center multi-plate clutch differential, front/rear axle Eton-type electronically controlled differential locks), o low-speed off-road cruising and other expensive configurations. The off-road escape ability is stronger, and the off-road performance is not inferior to Prado.

In addition, the 2.0t engine equipped with Haval H9 meets the National VI B emission standards, with a maximum power of 165kw and a maximum torque of 385n·m. It is matched with the ZF 8at gearbox. It has good power performance whether it is daily driving or high-speed cruise. It can also eat No. 92 gasoline, so you don’t have to worry about oil products when going to off-road in remote mountainous areas.

In addition, the Haval H9 is also equipped with a BorgWarner Tod intelligent four-wheel drive system and an all-terrain feedback system. It has seven driving modes: auto, snow, mud, sand, sports, energy saving and 4L, which can perform stably under various complex road conditions. In addition, the Haval H9 is also equipped with LED matrix headlights, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, front seat heating/ventilation/massage, three-temperature zone automatic air conditioning, intelligent networking system, wireless mobile phone interconnection, intelligent scene voice interaction, rear multimedia touch screen, L2 level automatic driving assistance, fully automatic parking and entry and other luxury technology configurations, bringing a more comfortable and convenient car use experience.

Haval's competitiveness is still OK. The price itself is appropriate and not ugly. Its aesthetics are more in line with Jin's requirements. To be honest, this car is likely to become the last target to be selected.

Then there is the last one, the sixth one, Dongfeng Nissan Tuda.

Nissan, known for its comfortable home use, is also a good off-road player, such as the Paladin, which was affordable and off-road earlier, and the full-size hard-core SUV Patrol that became famous all over the world along with Toyota Land Cruises and Mitsubishi Pajero. However, they are either too old or too expensive, and are never affordable enough. However, with the emergence of Nissan Tuta, a starting price of less than 170,000 yuan, can own a hard-core SUV that can not only run freely on non-paved roads, but also play the role of a warm-hearted man at home in daily life.

Tuda gives you a always tough look in appearance design, and the off-road data is also very good. The minimum ground clearance is 225mm, the close angle is 32°, and the departure angle is 27°, which can basically cope with most road conditions. At the same time, it is also equipped with a non-load-bearing body, a time-sharing four-wheel drive system and a lockable rear axle differential to enhance its off-road performance. Its electronically controlled time-sharing four-wheel drive system not only has three modes: two-wheel drive, high-speed four-wheel drive, and low-speed four-wheel drive, but the torque can be amplified by 2.7 times in low-speed four-wheel drive state.

In terms of power, Tuda is equipped with a 2.5l naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 142kw, a peak torque of 245n·m, and is matched with a 6mt and 7at gearbox. Although for the larger Tuda, the engine still meets the basic needs, fortunately, the power system is solid and reliable, and the support of the stable non-load-bearing body and four-wheel drive system gives Tuda higher reliability in the face of complex road conditions. In terms of suspension system, Tuda is equipped with a double wishbone independent front suspension with a stabilizer bar and a five-link integrated bridge rear suspension, which greatly improves off-road passability.

The price is also quite inexpensive. It is quite good to have such qualities at a level of less than 200,000.

In summary, the first three models are priced relatively high, but the quality is definitely relatively good. If you just want to buy it, 300,000 may not be enough. You have to use the original deposit at home to more or less.

The last three models are cheaper, and of course the quality is acceptable, but compared with the previous three models, it feels a bit too bad to watch.

Of course this is normal. After all, it is always a one-money price. Not to mention the comparisons of millions, even the difference between 30,000 and 50,000 may be very different. So how to choose is actually a headache for Dad Jin.

Choosing the former is not in line with his usual consumption philosophy. The deposits at home are used to prevent unexpected situations. He never supports the use of deposits. But what about choosing the latter? I feel a little unwilling to give up. I have spent 300,000 yuan, but because I am reluctant to spend a little more, I can only settle for the second best. Choosing a product in the next level is also not in line with his concept of "either don't buy it, buy the same thing if you want to buy it."

"Or... I won't buy it now, save money before talking about it..."

Dad Jin said hesitantly.

"no!"

Jin Xiao immediately spoke out to stop him.

The first purpose of his coming back this time was to let his parents accept the fact that he had made money. This has been basically completed. Not only his parents, but also his family have basically accepted it. The second purpose is to simply improve his life in the first place. His daily life is not bad, and he is just a car to carry it. If he hadn't been unwilling to scare his parents, he would have taken out millions, what is a mere 300,000?

If my dad didn't buy a car in the end, then his second goal would soon fail? How could he accept this?

So he definitely disagrees. Dad must buy a car, even if he adds some money.

"I can make more money in the future. Let's take out the savings from my family. Since we want to buy a car, don't let ourselves leave any regrets. Just choose from the first three. We either don't buy it, and if we want to buy it, buy a similar one, which is just tens of thousands of dollars. When the Chinese New Year is over, the company will make a profit. Just listen to me, let's choose from the first three!"
Chapter completed!
