in today's automobile market dominated by the word "volume", it is undoubtedly a good thing for consumers. the first thing that comes to mind is that the price of the car models is much more favorable than before, which reduces the cost of buying a car. in the previous "daily practicality test", we have tested many popular mid-size suvs. the four comparison models selected this time are cadillac iq, byd tang dm-i, saic volkswagen tiguan l pro and fangcheng baobao 5. 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 the headrests can be adjusted in height. in comparison, the middle headrest area of ​​saic volkswagen tiguan l pro and fangcheng baobao 5 is significantly different from the headrests on both sides, while the middle headrest area of ​​cadillac iq aoge and byd tang dm-i is closer to the headrests on both sides, and the comfort is better.

in terms of the front center armrest, the formula baobao 5 is the only one among the four models that supports adjustment, and its flexibility is good. although the cadillac iq, byd tang dm-i and saic volkswagen tiguan l pro do not support adjustment, the central armrests of the three models measured are quite large in area and comfortable to the touch, and can provide effective support for the driver's elbows in a normal sitting position.

in terms of driver's seat adjustment, the cadillac iq and the saic volkswagen tiguan l pro have the same test value of 260mm, and the seat adjustment travel reaches the upper-middle level of the same level. in terms of steering wheel adjustment, the cadillac iq and the saic volkswagen tiguan l pro performed well, with a front and rear adjustment distance of 60mm, leading the other two models. in contrast, the byd tang dm-i's test results in steering wheel adjustment are at the bottom.

2. usb power interface configuration test comparison

in terms of charging ports, the cadillac iq has the most usb ports, reaching 6, but only provides one type-c port, which is a single type. the charging ports of byd tang dm-i and fangcheng baobao 5 cover both type-c and type-a specifications, which can meet the charging needs of different devices for passengers in the car. in addition, all four models are equipped with a 12v power port, but saic volkswagen tiguan l pro only has one, which is not as good as the other three models.

3. comparison of storage space in the car

the test of the usable space in the car only focuses on 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 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.

in terms of in-car storage space, the formula leopard 5 has the largest number of storage spaces, with a total of 20; byd tang dm-i follows closely behind, and both models provide exclusive storage space for sunglasses, and their overall performance is better than saic volkswagen tiguan l pro and cadillac iq.

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 byd tang dm-i and saic volkswagen tiguan l pro are not equipped with limiters, which is not as good as the other two models.

trunk space comparison

in terms of trunk space, the trunk floor designs of the four models are very regular, and the rear seats all support proportional folding, and the storage capacity is enhanced. in addition, cadillac iq pride and saic volkswagen tiguan l pro have also hollowed out both sides of the trunk, which is more friendly for the placement of small items. we also measured the actual carrying capacity of the four models. according to the measured data, saic volkswagen tiguan l pro and fangcheng baobao 5 performed relatively well, and 2 of the 4 tests exceeded the test average of the same level of models. in contrast, byd tang dm-i is a 7-seater model, so the depth of the trunk is not as good as the other three models.

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 the formula baobao 5, the test data of the other three models all reached or were lower than the test average of the same level models, and their performance was remarkable. among them, byd tang dm-i performed the best, with the closest front vision test distance of only 2.1m.

in the rear vision test, the cadillac iq's interior rearview mirror is a streaming media rearview mirror, so it performed the best, with a test data of 6.5m, far ahead of the other three models.

in the test of the field of vision of the exterior rearview mirror, byd tang dm-i is the only one among the four models that uses hyperbolic lenses for both the left and right exterior rearview mirrors, and its test results all exceed the test average of the same level of models, performing better than the other three models. in contrast, the field of vision of the left and right exterior rearview mirrors of cadillac iq did not reach the test average of the same level of models, and the blind spot of the field of vision was relatively large.

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, the farthest detection distance of the four models reached or exceeded 1m, and the radar power performance was good. among them, the farthest detection distance of cadillac iq reached 1.5m. in the continuous beeping stage, the test average values ​​of cadillac iq and saic volkswagen tiguan l pro were both 0.25m, which is consistent with the test experience value.

in the rear parking radar test, cadillac iq performed best overall, with the longest detection distance of the radar far exceeding the other three models, and the distance during the continuous beeping stage was consistent with the test experience value. on the other hand, byd tang dm-i not only did not reach the test average of the same level of models, but also the distance during the continuous beeping stage was far away from the test experience value, and the overall performance was average.

in terms of image assistance systems, all four models are equipped with 360° panoramic image systems and support multi-angle display functions, which are satisfactory in practicality. among them, byd tang dm-i and fangcheng baobao 5 also support transparent chassis, which can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the surrounding conditions of the vehicle.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or u-turns. at this time, the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important. knowing the road width required for your car to turn around on the spot can help you avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for turning around on the spot of the cadillac iq, saic volkswagen tiguan l pro, and fangcheng baobao 5 is not much different, all reaching the average level of the same level. the actual measured data of byd tang dm-i is 11.8m, which is at the lower level of the same level. the driver needs to leave a margin in advance for daily u-turns.

summarize:

the four popular mid-size suvs in this comparison have remarkable performance in terms of practicality. cadillac iq has excellent performance in parking assist configuration; byd tang dm-i has outstanding performance in the blind spots of left and right exterior mirrors; saic volkswagen tiguan l pro has outstanding performance in trunk practicality; fangcheng baobao 5 takes the lead in the number of in-car storage spaces. overall, the four mid-size suvs have their own winners and losers in the competition of practicality, and consumers can choose according to their own needs and preferences.
