Before we talk about Tuyue, let me tell you a story about a friend of mine. He has a budget of about 150,000 and wants to buy a joint venture compact SUV.
But since he is tall and heavy, I recommended him to take out a loan to buy a car with more space, so I looked at many cars with him, including Equinox, which had a discount of 40,000, and The new RAV4 Rongfang, X-Trail, Tanyue and Tuyue, these cars really have space to test one by one, and finally I chose the Tuyue 1.4T model.
My friend chose Tuyue for two reasons. The first is that the space is really excellent, at least among the models I tried, the space is the largest; the second reason is that the price is right and the sales are free. I bought a bunch of high-quality products that met the standards of my friends.
To be honest, I also approve of Tuyue, so when I participated in the full-series test drive held by SAIC Volkswagen, I deliberately chose Tuyue just to have a better understanding.
Plenty of power, optional "S gear" for passion
Let's start with the power performance. The Tuyue model tested this time is the 2.0T version, with a maximum output of 186 horsepower ( 137 kW), with a maximum output torque of 320 N·m. The engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Needless to say, its power performance is still very German.
The output of this power combination is very linear, and the overall performance is very good, without any sense of frustration. When shifting to S gear, the power is significantly improved, and the response is particularly sensitive. As long as you touch the accelerator pedal, there is power output. , but the timing of shifting is relatively lagging, generally shifting at around 3,000 rpm to ensure more abundant power output.
It is also equipped with a 4MOTION intelligent four-wheel drive system, the core component of which is BorgWarner's fifth-generation center differential, which has 4 road modes, 2 off-road modes and 1 snow mode.
Under normal road conditions, about 90%-95% of the power is input to the front wheels, while under extreme conditions all drive torque can be input to the rear wheels, achieving a power distribution of 0:100.
The most unforgettable thing for me is the sound insulation effect. It can be said that this is the quietest Volkswagen I have ever driven. Not only is the engine sound controlled very well, with almost no engine sound, but tire noise and wind noise are also controlled. It's very good, it really surprised me.
In addition, the handling performance is also very good. In two words, it is precise and brisk. When driving, you don’t feel that the Tuyue is a medium-sized SUV. It turns, changes lanes, and makes a U-turn very easily. Moreover, the low-speed steering is very light and easy to control.
As for the suspension, the Tuyue uses MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. It is equipped with a HRS suspension tension hydraulic buffer system as standard. The overall performance is not bad. On bumpy roads, There will also be small impacts, which are basically acceptable.
Large space, smart support for mobile phone interconnection
I don’t think I need to say more about the internal and external design. Tuyue has won many consumers in the market since it was launched in October 2018. Attention, everyone is most familiar with its internal and external design.
The first topic I want to talk to you about is the space of the Tuyue. It has a length of 4453mm and a wheelbase of 2680mm. Although the length is not very outstanding in the same class, the axle length of 2680mm It also has a great advantage among models of the same level.
Take the familiar Honda CR-V as an example. The Tuyue's 2680mm wheelbase is 20mm longer than the CR-V (2660mm), and its seating space is also larger than that of the CR-V.
At the same time, Tuyue's seats are also relatively comfortable, especially the whole body wrapping and leg support are very good. This is also what I value particularly. In the words of my friend, this It is specially designed for us fat people.
In addition to the great advantages of seating space, the storage space in the Tuyue is also very good. The glove box, central armrest box, cup holder, and hidden storage compartments are all designed to be large. , you can put any small things casually.
The second thing I want to talk to you about is intelligence. To be honest, Tuyue’s 8-inch large screen does not contain many things, such as music, navigation, media, phone calls, online services, etc. Basically It’s easy to get started and doesn’t require time to learn.
However, Tuyue supports Carplay and Carlife. Carplay can display phone calls, Amap (Tencent Maps), Kugou Music, etc.; while Carlife is even richer, including refueling, finding a parking space, voice control, Finding delicious food and calling for rescue are no problem.
There’s nothing to say about using it. It’s a configuration that you can’t leave without using it once. At the same time, there is absolutely no doubt that Tuyue’s excellent UI design and screen clarity are also excellent.
Car buying recommendation: Who is better to buy from Tuyue?
The 2020 Tuyue *** has 9 models on sale, 6 1.4T models (280TSI), and 3 2.0T low-power models (330TSI). Among them, the 1.4T model, I recommend buying it in 2020 Model 280TSI, two-wheel drive luxury version PLUS, China VI (guide price: 189,800 yuan). Although the luxury version is 1,000 yuan cheaper than it, the luxury version PLUS is equipped with electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and supports 4 adjustments.
The 2020 model 280TSI two-wheel drive flagship version National VI (guide price: 204,800 yuan) has more active safety features than the luxury version PLUS, as well as configurations such as active driving and lane keeping. It is a relatively mainstream configuration at the moment, but these assisted driving are not strictly necessary.
For the 2.0T model (330TSI), I also recommend buying the 2020 facelifted 330TSI four-wheel drive luxury version PLUS National VI. Its configuration is definitely sufficient for our daily use.
If you are ready to buy it, now is the time to buy it. It is understood that the SAIC Volkswagen Tuyue has particularly attractive discounts and supports 0 interest rate for two years. Friends who like it can go to the store to inquire.
