what car can you buy for 80,000 yuan?

this answer was probably three years ago.MINI EVthe top version of thegreat wallblack cat and white cat.

but now, you can buy a new volkswagen, brand newtuyuenewcomer.

at the chengdu auto show, after the suggested retail price of the all-new tiguan xinrui was announced, it was quickly reduced on the spot without giving the media time to react, and the starting price was directly 79,900 yuan.

the intensity is even greater than a certain company’s 10 billion yuan subsidy, giving domestic cars a little “joint venture” shock.

for products of this level, price advantage is certainly important.

however, the price of less than 80,000 yuan still makes people doubt whether the driving quality, manufacturing technology and other aspects can maintain the previous level. we also got a real car to experience it.

changed the appearance, not the core

although the tuyue xinrui belongs to the tuyue system, its appearance design is more inclined totiguan l pro uses volkswagen’s latest family design language.

the most representative feature of this design is of course the through-type light group on the front of the car and the narrowing lines connecting the light groups on both sides. the visual center is also mainly concentrated on the air intake part under the front of the car.

the tail uses a through-type light group, and the transparent lampshade can see the internal structure clearly, making it look more technological.

the model we got is in the vibrant pink color. it doesn’t look like a particularly bright color, but a light grayish pink with low saturation. it goes very well with this car. if you want to buy it, it is highly recommended that you choose this color.

but compared to the youthful appearance, the interior design of the new car is relatively conservative.

when i saw it for the first time, volkswagen’s old-fashioned design dna moved in my mind.

the horizontal and vertical center console, the semi-embedded car screen, the huge mechanical gear lever, and the various physical buttons in front of the gear lever make me feel what year it is now.

the design of the steering wheel is consistent with that of most current volkswagen models, such as the tiguan l pro.passatwait.

most of the interior of the car is made of plastic, with only a small area directly in front of the co-pilot covered in leather. only the top-of-the-line 1.5t model uses imitation leather for the seats.

of course, it is really difficult for the public to touch the leather of a car worth 80,000 yuan.

except for the top-of-the-line model equipped with a 9.2-inch central control screen and a 10.3-inch lcd instrument panel, the central control screens and lcd instrument panels of the other versions are all 8 inches in size.

the car computer itself supports few functions and the ui design is also very old. fortunately, it supports carplay and carlife, retaining a bit of decency.

the back row has independent air outlets and two charging ports, which support both type-c and usb, and can fully meet the basic needs of the second-row passengers.

the trunk adopts a sunken design, which can provide a fairly good storage space.

the only minor drawback is that the seats cannot form a completely flat space when folded down.

overall, although the interior design may look old-fashioned nowadays, it is sufficient for a first car.

in actual experience, you won’t feel that this interior is cheap. the workmanship is still very high, and there is not too strong a plastic feel, which is rare for a car of this price.

it tastes good when opened

there are two power options for the tuyue new rui, both of which come with lifetime warranty, namely 1.5l naturally aspirated engine matched with aisin 6at and 1.5t turbocharged engine plus 7-speed dual-clutch.

what we got is the dual-clutch version, which focuses on power and fuel economy, while the advantage of the naturally aspirated version lies in lower initial investment costs and lower maintenance costs in the later stages.

when you drive the car on the road, you will find that this car is actually very easy to drive. the steering force of the steering wheel is very light, and a certain amount of clearance is retained in the middle part.

the throttle is light and responsive, and the car's compact body makes it very easy to drive on a daily basis.

in addition to the driving aspect, german cars also use common processes such as cavity wax injection and laser welding in body manufacturing.

the power reserve of the 1.5t engine is more than enough for this car weighing about 1.3 tons, and it can provide a good acceleration experience.

the dual-clutch transmission also shifts up and down quickly, and there is no obvious jerk when following a vehicle at low speed. the chassis is tuned to be soft but has a certain toughness, and can effectively resolve the impact from the road when going over speed bumps and potholes.

volkswagen's skills in driving and chassis tuning are evident, and even a small car worth tens of thousands of yuan is made with great care.

final thoughts

now many new energy vehicles are clamoring to be "young people's first car" and are priced at two or three hundred thousand yuan.

but for a young person’s first car, economy and practicality must be put first.

as a compact joint venture suv, the tuyue xinrui has been trying hard to catch up with domestic cars, and is even more cost-effective than many domestic cars.

do you think this car will have a good sales performance? feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section!
