Audi Q3 35TFSI decisively fights Volvo XC40 B4 Momentum European choice of small SUVs

Today, friends who spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy a new car will more or less want to pursue a “lifestyle”, so many buyers will choose SUVs. In today’s auto market, buying an SUV with a budget of over 300,000 yuan is like the emperor facing the harem with three thousand beauties. There are so many choices, so today the two CarMan guests decided to organize their favorite entry into Europe. SUVs: Audi Q3 35TFSI and Volvo XC40 B4 Momentum, so evaluate them in terms of price, fuel consumption, practicality and equipment to see which is the wise choice.

If you look at the price, both the XC40 and Q3 are small European SUVs priced at around 380,000 yuan, but when you look at the triple-digit list, you’ll find that the XC40 is actually slightly cheaper than the Q3 which sells for $ 379,900. mosquito. Although the price of 100 mosquitoes for a new car is just the tip of the iceberg, the price of the XC40 of the two is actually slightly better than “Yiyi”.

Although both cars emphasize the appearance of an SUV, buyers do not expect high fuel consumption, so we decided to start from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao artificial island to Xin’ao, then return to the island. artificial Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao. The whole journey is 28 kilometers. Their fuel consumption in high-speed cruising is about as much.

Before the test, everyone can be sure that the winner of the consumption test will have to be the Audi Q3. This is a 150hp 1.5-liter Turbo engine, which has a congenital advantage over Volvo, which has less fuel consumption than a 2-liter Turbo. . After a cycle of actual tests, the Q3 is effectively the expected winner of this competition on fuel consumption, successfully lowering the XC40’s 6.8 L / 100km with real fuel consumption of 6.2 L / 100km. Although the XC40 was defeated in this competition on fuel consumption, its opponent was the Q3, which was 300 kg lighter than it, so the XC40 was able to achieve a real fuel consumption of 6.8 l / 100 km.

The reason SUVs are so popular is obviously that buyers are eager to be more practical and practical, and Volvo has been based on practicality for many years, so when competing for practical space, the Audi Q3 should be determined to lose. . But on the surface you don’t see everything. It’s because the current Q3 is 97mm longer than the previous generation and 18mm wider. Therefore, the trunk space is 530 liters, which is 78 liters more than in the XC40. One of the tricks is that the rear row is equipped with seven-stage angle adjustment and when the rear row is pushed forward by 150mm, the trunk capacity goes up to 675 liters. If only the load capacity is calculated, Q3 can be described as a victory over the XC40. However, if the focus is on the storage space with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, the XC40 can be described as an expert in this area, because all four door panels have been stolen, there is a secret drawer underneath it. driver’s stool and a garbage can in the pillow. , The jewelry box is also equipped with a hook for hanging takeout food. It is this clever use of space that makes the XC40 carriage more human. Even though the actual space isn’t as big as Q3, I have to admire how good the designer’s stealing capabilities are. This is exactly what makes the XC40 a tie to the Q3 in terms of practicality.

In terms of equipment, perhaps the Hong Kong agents on both sides know that the price difference between the two cars is only 100%, so the equipment is also almost identical. Electric tailgate, electronic clock panel, dual zone constant temperature air conditioning, canopy roof, Apple Carplay / Android Auto, 18-inch wheels, parking lens, keyless entry and electric seats are available. Although the equipment of the two cars looks the same, the Audi Q3 has an automatic parking system, atmospheric lights and paddles, while the Volvo XC40 has Lane Keep Aid, driver’s seat memory seat, cruise control and Auto Wait up. The equipment on both sides can be said that you have Zhang Liangji, and I have a wall ladder.

All in all, the Volvo XC40 and Audi Q3 are both a pair of entry-level European luxury SUVs with a high price / performance ratio.If either of them is to be established as the winner of this competition, I’m afraid it’s just brand preference of the author. Readers may whistle in their hearts when they see this ambiguous ending, but sometimes fish and bear legs are so hard to choose. The author’s only suggestion is to make an appointment for a test drive and after trying it you will know which car is best for you.
