as we all know, the domestic automobile market is becoming more and more competitive. even if the overall quality of the product itself is high, it will be useless if it fails to impress consumers in terms of price. there is no way, the situation is like this, and we have to compete in it. in the previous "daily practicality test", we have tested many cost-effective mid-size suvs. the four comparison models selected this time are xingtu yaoguang c-dm, saic volkswagen tiguan l pro, nezha l and alpha t5. next, we will conduct a horizontal evaluation from the perspective of daily practicality test to see which model has better overall performance.

1. comparison of in-car comfort configuration tests

in terms of in-car comfort, all four models are equipped with three headrests in the back row, and both side headrests can be adjusted in height. in comparison, the middle headrest in the back row of nezha l and alpha t5 is smaller in size, which is significantly different from the side headrests. the difference is that the former can be adjusted in height, while the latter is not only unable to be adjusted, but also a little too low, making the pillow less comfortable.

as for the front center armrest, none of the four models support front and rear or angle adjustment, which is indeed a pity. however, during the actual test, the armrest area of ​​these four models is quite considerable, comfortable to touch and soft inside, which can provide effective support for the driver's elbows in a normal sitting position, and the overall performance is satisfactory.

among the four models, the front and rear moving distance of the main driver's seat of xingtu yaoguang c-dm reaches 300mm, which is better than the other three models. in terms of steering wheel adjustment, saic volkswagen tiguan l pro has the best overall performance, with an adjustable angle of 15.8° and a front and rear adjustment distance of 60mm.

2. usb power interface configuration test comparison

in terms of charging ports, all four models are equipped with usb ports in the front and rear rows, which can basically meet the needs of daily use. among them, the entire saic volkswagen tiguan l pro is equipped with a type-c specification port, which has poor adaptability. in comparison, xingtu yaoguang c-dm and nezha l performed the best, providing type-a and type-c ports in the front and rear rows respectively, with greater freedom of choice. except for the alpha t5, the other three models are equipped with at least one 12v power port, and their practicality is satisfactory.

3. comparison of storage space in the car

in terms of in-car storage space, the test of in-car usable space only targets the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in the various storage spaces in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 regular-sized bottles of mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

among the four models, xingtu yaoguang c-dm has the most storage spaces (excluding cup holders), with a total of 15; alpha t5 has the least, with only 10. during the actual test, none of the four models provided a dedicated space for sunglasses. in addition, nezha l even had no place to properly store a shoulder bag, so there is still room for improvement.

in addition, in the cup holder test, the four models are equipped with two cup holders in the front and rear rows, which can meet the needs of daily use. however, the rear cup holders of saic volkswagen tiguan l pro and alpha t5 are not equipped with limiters, so placing water bottles will not be safe.

trunk space comparison

in terms of trunk space, although some data of the four models did not reach the test average of models of the same level, the best performance was still the xingtu yaoguang c-dm, and only the test result of the trunk height was slightly dragged down. in contrast, the problem of saic volkswagen tiguan l pro and nezha l was mainly the poor performance of the trunk opening width, which was somewhat different from the test average of models of the same level.

4. comparison of in-car vision test

in the safety test, we measured and compared the most commonly used field of view in the daily use of the vehicle. during the test, all seats in the car were adjusted to the lowest position. the measured data has some deviations from the normal use of the driver and is for reference only.

in the front blind spot test, we use a 70cm high pile bucket as a reference, and then adjust the relative position of the vehicle until the top of the pile bucket can be seen from the main driver's seat. at this time, measure the distance between the front of the vehicle and the pile bucket. the smaller the value, the smaller the front blind spot.

in the front vision test, except for xingtu yaoguang c-dm, the test scores of the other three models all reached the test average of the same level of models. among them, nezha l performed the best, with the closest front vision distance of only 2.2m. in addition, in the rear vision test, nezha l still performed the best. in contrast, among the four models, only the saic volkswagen tiguan l pro did not reach the test average of the same level of models in terms of rear vision.

in the test of the field of view of the exterior mirrors, only the left exterior mirror of the saic volkswagen tiguan l pro is equipped with a hyperbolic lens. this can also be reflected in the final test results, which reached 27.5°, surpassing the test average of the same level of models. in contrast, the field of view angles of the exterior mirrors on both sides of the other three models failed to reach the test average of the same level of models, and the overall performance was poor.

5. parking assist configuration comparison

in terms of safety configuration, referring to previous test experience, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. in the front parking radar test, xingtu yaoguang c-dm has the strongest detection capability, with the longest detection distance reaching 2.48m. in the continuous beeping stage, except for the alpha t5, the test scores of the other three models are all 0.25m, which is consistent with the test experience value.

in the rear parking radar test, the four models' maximum detection distances all exceeded the test average of the same level of models, and their performance was remarkable. in terms of the closest warning distance, the xingtu yaoguang c-dm and saic volkswagen tiguan l pro were both 0.25m, which was consistent with the test experience value.

in terms of image assistance systems, all four models are equipped with 360° panoramic image systems and support multi-angle display functions. not only are the configuration levels high, but through testing, it can also be found that there are basically no obvious flaws in image clarity and distortion control. in fact, as the market's "involution" becomes more and more serious, in addition to further enriching the configuration, car companies are also beginning to pay more attention to optimizing the functional experience.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or u-turn situations, and the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important at this time. knowing the road width required for the car to turn around on the spot can help you know the situation and avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, except for the xingtu yaoguang c-dm, which is slightly "over the standard", the road width for u-turns on the spot of the other three models is at the average level of the same level.

summarize:

although there are price differences among them, the four models compared this time are all good choices with high cost performance. as they are all positioned as mid-size suvs and face the test of fierce market competition, these four models basically meet expectations in terms of configuration level and practical performance. consumers can choose according to their own circumstances.
