more than 300,000 you choose Mercedes c200 or new BMW 3 Series? I believe two months, many people will choose the former Mercedes c200, but the BMW 3 Series loosen the terminal price, cost-effective upgrade, BMW sales in September has reached 8661 units, rose to ninth in the car sales charts name.
BMW 3 series price pull sales
were on the BMW 3 Series 6 models, two models short-axis version, the long axis version 4 models, both domestic cars. Although the official guide price at 31.39-36.39 million, but the first two months due to poor market sales, BMW has also launched a series of promotions, discount up to about 50,000, that is to say as long as less than 270,000, you you can have a first-line brand of luxury cars. But for the loyal fans of the BMW 3 Series, listed on the choice of purchased users, just 2 months evaporation 3-5 million, really painful.
body size, length and breadth were 4829/1827 / 1463mm, wheelbase 2961mm. Appearance, the front is still a family-owned “kidneys Design”, but with the increased processing. Compared to the old section of canceled Angel Eyes daytime running lights, the use of daytime running lights below the bias, to pay tribute to the classic E46. The large rear change, appear more three-dimensional, there is a coupe feeling.
more interior change, before 8.25 inches in the control of large screen now upgrade to 10.25 inches, also reduces the number of buttons that control the layout looks more simple and elegant, the overall sense of the level be raised. And the new center console 3 based on the shift plate, etc. with a large number of soft material, chrome, stitching process, has been criticized enhance BMW interior texture, so that only the appropriate BMWTogether “open”, but also for “sit.”
The new BMW 3 Series equipped with 2.0T engine, maximum power of 135kW, maximum torque 300N.m, compared to the older and more 30N.m, transmission 8 matching block manual transmission system. But in order to cater to the Chinese market, BMW or on sports do some sacrifices, the most controversial is the repeal of rear antiroll bars.
for the pursuit of driving experience of users, now the vehicle cornering attitude a little embarrassed, road feel worse than before. But for everyday driving, the rear antiroll bars are canceled to compromise comfort, more suitable for family travel from sports, ride comfort and better.
Although a compromise was made to the Chinese market, but the result was unsatisfactory, although Xiao Bian personally think that the BMW reduces itself to the motion characteristics of the development of comfort, but ride comfort do not like the level of Mercedes c200, price is not an advantage, and therefore poor sales. Fortunately, BMW adjusted the preferential policies, the overall price decline, the price increase, sales also improved.
Mercedes c200 value against the Yen win?
Mercedes-Benz has been used as first-line luxury brands, low-key luxury connotation of existence, if we look closely, you will find a lot of style activities, the official shuttle vehicles usually choose Mercedes-Benz. Therefore, in the hearts of the people, the value of the brand is better than BMW.
Although the Mercedes-Benz body size with the new BMW 3 Series in comparison does not take advantage, but it looks more attractive. Smooth body lines coupled with sharp headlight design, it looks more calm and elegant.
Interior overall experience can only be described in three words, “high-end, the atmosphere, the grade.” 12.3 inches full LCD meter with 10.25 inches in the control panel, there are provided 64 kinds of the ring systemSelect the territory mood lighting system, to meet different needs, but also give people a better sense of atmosphere.
so the new c200 dynamic aspects of performance then? 2020 Mercedes-Benz c200 powered by a 1.5T engine, matching 9AT gearbox. Maximum power of 115kW, maximum torque 250N.m, although not as level data on new BMW 3 Series, but the user does not pursue driving pleasure, it seems insignificant.
However, Mercedes-Benz has always been hard seat has been “heritage” ride feel not good. “Sit-Benz” is one and has not been reflected in the Mercedes-Benz C-class.
[summary] After adjustment policies, the new BMW 3 Series Lowest need only 200,000, well below the same level of Mercedes c200, so sales were improved. Both cars is different, interior luxury Mercedes, BMW better control, so there are many fans support, no matter who you are a fan, can now bite. If you are entangled, the tendency is not strong brand, look at who’s higher cost of it, finding out will not be disappointed.
