Front 4WD + Automated (AT) Lexus RX Purchase Manual

For most people, the mention of a car from a 4S shop is just the beginning, and the cost of maintaining a car in the later stage is the big deal. Can today’s talk help us save some money in the future? Let’s take a look at it.

Take a look at the appearance of the Lexus RX first. The front face of the Lexus RX gives a very cold feeling. The Chinese net uses a spindle shape to look clean.

The appearance of the steering wheel of the car looks very good, equipped with electric up and down + front and rear adjustment, steering wheel memory, steering wheel heating and other functions, it looks a little more sharp. Let’s take a look at the central control. The design of the center console is reasonable, which makes the interior design quite layered. The overall design of the central control is very good. Let me introduce the dashboard and seats. The dashboard of the car shows a domineering design style, and the information is easy and clear to read. The car adopts leather seats, and the seats are wide and thick, which are basically enough for daily use.

The car is equipped with vehicle to everything, driving mode selection, remote control key, UWB digital key, rear wipers, interior ambient lights and other configurations, the configuration is not bad, to meet the daily use or no problem.

After reading today’s talk, do you have a lot of ideas? This level of model is usually the first choice for most people. Firstly, the price is not expensive, and secondly, all the configurations are quite complete, which is still worth buying.

Ford Mondeo price cut to 129,800, is it cost-effective?

In fact, during the period of the rapid rise of new energy vehicles, it was still very difficult for the fuel vehicles developed by second-tier brands to break through in the market. After all, the popularity of the models developed by first-tier joint venture fuel vehicle companies was decreasing, and many models developed by second-tier brands were naturally neglected. For example, the overall product quality of Hyundai’s products has been significantly improved after the replacement, but this car is still unpopular in the market. However, the Ford we are talking about today has achieved a turnaround in the market.

The Ford Mondeo car was on the market at that time. It was also very sluggish sales. It was not until the replacement was completed in the past two years that the whole vehicle returned to the public eye. In order to impress consumers, the threshold for new cars is constantly lowered. The most crucial point is that after the current 2025 version of the model is listed, the price is also 129,800. The cost performance of the whole vehicle is very good in the fuel B-class car. Today, let’s take a look at this American intermediate car. Is it in line with your vision?

From the perspective of sales in recent months, Ford Mondeo’s sales performance is still very good, basically maintaining a monthly sales volume of about 5,000 units. This performance is already very successful for the current situation of Ford. After all, many first-line mid-range cars have also sold thousands of units. It can be said that Mondeo’s price reduction in the past two years has indeed revitalized this model very well.

First of all, from the perspective of the overall appearance design, the new car features a highly recognizable dynamic mouth grid grille, with a very sharp headlight shape and a split design. At the same time, from the side design of the body, the new car features a 5-door hatchback design, a 20-inch low-resistance large wheel hub, and a segmented rear wing, all of which create a sporty temperament of the vehicle. It can be said that the car’s appearance is still in place.

At the same time, in terms of space, the new Mondeo standard version has a body length, width and height of 4935x1875x1500mm, the sports version has a body length, width and height of 4920x1920x1600mm, and the body wheelbase is 2945mm. The space setting of the American car is also quite good. Even if a person who is 1.78 meters tall sits in the back row, he can easily tilt his legs.

The interior of the new car still pays more attention to the improvement of texture. The soft and genuine leather materials used inside the whole car are more delicate to the touch. The central control of the colleague is equipped withThe large 1.1-meter-long screen composed of a 12.3-inch LCD instrument and a 27-inch central control screen, equipped with the SYNC + 2.0 system, also enhances the technological atmosphere of this car.


Finally, there is the power system of this car. The fuel version of Changan Ford Mondeo provides a 1.5T/2.0T gasoline engine, of which the new Ford Mondeo is equipped with a 1.5T gasoline engine with a maximum output power of 140kW and a peak torque of 258N · m, while the 2.0T gasoline engine has a maximum output power of 187kW and a peak torque of 393N · m. Of course, the new car also has a hybrid system for consumers to choose from.

At the beginning of the new car’s launch, I went to test drive the 1.5T version, because the mainstream models themselves are all 2.0T versions, and the overall driving is still relatively easy. Many people are concerned about whether the 1.5T version is enough? From the dynamic experience point of view,The power is actually sufficient, especially in urban areas, there will be no shortage of power. At high speeds, when you want to accelerate from 100kph to 120kph, you need to step deeper on the accelerator, and the chassis of the vehicle is relatively complete. The overall driving texture is acceptable to the driver.

Now on the market, the price of mainstream fuel intermediate cars are falling, this Ford Mondeo is currently 129,800 price, is indeed sincere, for many consumers who want to start intermediate fuel vehicles and not too much budget, this car is more worthy of consideration at the moment.

The body strength far exceeds that of the same level, providing all-round body protection.

The active pre-tightening force-limiting seat belt design allows the seat belt to be tightened in advance to improve the body restraint effect on the occupants when the vehicle collides. At the same time, it can also limit the force of the seat belt, buffer the impact on the occupant’s chest, and effectively protect the safety of the occupants. There are also main and auxiliary airbags, air curtains on both sides, and seat airbags on both sides of the front row, which can be detonated instantly when a collision occurs, so as to cushion the impact force generated by the vehicle collision as much as possible, forming a soft protection for passengers with peace of mind.

Xingyue L not only has a solid passive safety foundation, but also makes great efforts in the field of active safety. The whole series is equipped with L2 intelligent driver assistance system as standard, integrating ACC adaptive cruise, AEB urban pre-collision safety system, LKA lane keeping assistance and other functions. Through real-time monitoring and data analytics of 24 high-precision sensors, anticipate and intervene in potential hazards in advance to provide drivers with all-round safety protection.

??Extreme Krypton plans to produce cars in Europe or share a European factory

Observer NetworkNews on July 22nd,According to Bloomberg, Extreme Krypton is actively considering manufacturing the model in Europe.

But unlike brands such as BYD, SAIC and SAIC, which need time to build factories, JK has a simple and straightforward choice. If JK does advance European manufacturing and localisation plans, INSIDE EVs believes, then the brand will cooperate with its existing factories (through Volvo).

Chery’s sales in August were sluggish, its strength models were cold, and the market was challenged

Hello everyone, I’m Hao Ge. Today we’re going to talk about the eight worst-selling Chery cars in August. Although some of Chery’s new cars are good, their sales are not satisfactory. What’s going on? Maybe we can find something worth thinking about.

The first is the Chery Tiggo 3x, a small SUVSales in August were only 1,280 unitsAs a low-priced and low-fuel-consumption model, it does have an advantage in price, but its weak power, simple configuration, cramped space and poor handling have deterred many consumers. It is not so much that people do not know the goods, but that consumers’ needs are increasingly diverse, and purchasing decisions have become more rational.

Here’s what happens next.Chery Star Road to the Moon, with only 975 units soldAlthough this car is excellent in materials and technology, the power system is also standard with a high-performance 2.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 261 horsepower and a torque of 400 Nm. Coupled with a four-wheel drive system, it is quite enjoyable to drive. But unfortunately, the market response of this high-end SUV is mediocre. Perhaps because the awareness of high-end brands is relatively low, many consumers are still more inclined to choose models that have already established brand trust, such as joint venture brands.

The performance of the Fengyun T10 is also not satisfactory.Sales were only 772 unitsThe car was only officially launched in June, but its price is generally above 180,000, which has deterred many potential buyers. For a Chery-branded model, the price of more than 200,000 is clearly a concern for consumers. After all, to compete at this price point, Chery needs to offer more attractive value.

Tiggo 5x sales are not optimistic either, only 755 unitsAlthough its body size is slightly larger than that of the Tiggo 3X, the overall cost performance is not as good as the latter. Weak power, small space and low configuration all make consumers more hesitant to choose. If the budget can reach 70,000 or 80,000, many people will choose a more attractive option like Geely. Consumers’ choice reflects the market’s pursuit of cost performance.

Sold 750 units of Xingtu YaoguangIn fact, it is a very good car. The power, materials, configuration and safety performance are all at a very high level, even surpassing 95% of the joint venture models in the same class. However, due to the lack of popularity, many consumers are not aware of the excellent performance of this car. Brand influence plays an important role in the car market, and Chery still has a lot of room for improvement in this regard.

The performance of Starway New Era ET was even more dismal.Only 311 units were sold.Originally, this car was launched to compete with BYD Han, but now BYD Han’s sales are booming, and New Era ET is difficult to attract consumers’ interest. The introduction of new technologies is important, but consumers care more about the value and history of the brand, which is also where Chery needs to strengthen its marketing.

The sales of Xingtu Chasing Wind are even more appalling, only 154 unitsIn fact, this car is just a shell-changing version, with almost the same power and configuration, but the price is much higher. This pricing strategy makes consumers feel that it is not worth it, and even prefer to choose the more cost-effective Tiggo 7. Consumers’ ingenuity is on display at this time, and Chery needs to rethink its pricing strategy.

Finally, there is Chelio Mengda, which sold only 152 units.Many people may not be familiar with this car. Indeed, it is surprising how unpopular it is in the domestic market. However, in foreign markets, it performs quite well. This may be because the aesthetics of domestic consumers are different from those in the international market. Although the overall strength of this car is not bad, Chery still needs further thinking and adjustment in brand perception and market positioning.

Overall, Chery’s sales performance in August was worrying, and many models were good in terms of technology and configuration
