Audi A3 was selected today, and the actual transaction price was about 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. Sportback？ 35? TFSI "and Civic hatchback with an actual transaction price of about 6.5438+0.529 million yuan? A hatchback? 220TURBO？ CVT cool control? "Compare the two for you and find out.
Although it is an entry-level Audi, A3 hatchback also conveys the pride of first-line luxury brands, bright paint and patchwork lines. The hexagonal headlight group, which is quite similar to A4L, also has the inheritance of Audi's whole family.
Compared with A3, the overall look and feel of Civic hatchback is obviously much younger. The slip-back line with running grid collides with the sharp forward impulse. The whole body air suit announces a bared teeth movement. The redesigned headlight texture and blackened air intake grille are also obviously different from the sedan version. The blackened wheels used in the recommended models also show the fierceness of the first step.
Or to make an inappropriate analogy, A3 is a suit gentleman who often goes to the gym, and Civic is a rapper full of trendy brands.
On the interior level, although it is an old car on the verge of replacement, it is not obvious how old-fashioned it is from Audi A3, and the overall style reveals a playful exquisiteness. Compared with the circular air conditioning outlet and the pop-up central large screen on the car model, they all present a quite young state.
On the vehicle system level, the comparison car is equipped with a 7-inch non-touch vehicle supporting CarPlay and Bluetooth interconnection, which can control multimedia and telephone systems through voice. The function is not very comprehensive, only supporting MMI physical panel operation. However, the "rising" and "falling" of the pop-up screen when the vehicle starts and closes is indeed a very interesting ceremony.
The interior of Civic hatchback is consistent with the three views of appearance, exuding a sharp youth. The use of large-area straight lines is quite dynamic, and the metal perforated accelerator pedal also expresses the movement with substantial content in words.
On the in-vehicle system level, the comparison car is equipped with a seven-inch touch-screen car that supports Bluetooth interconnection and Android CarLife, and only supports voice-controlled telephone system. The function is not comprehensive. Moreover, the straightforward UI interface will be a bit awkward compared with the quite exquisite Audi.
In terms of seating space, as a "serious" BBA, A3 can't stretch too much seating space because of its small body size, but its overall preference for comfortable seat shape and ingenious space utilization ensure the comfort of actual driving.
First of all, compared with the leather/fabric mixed seat filler carried by the car model, the material is soft enough to bring some soft settlement to the buttocks. The overall shape of the seat is also quite generous, and the inconspicuous packages on both sides also give the driver a natural and stretched overall sitting posture.
The Civic hatchback creates a kind of "comfort that should not appear on the coupe" with the help of a relatively low sitting posture. Specifically, the seat setting in the Civic car can be described by luxurious seating space and almost pure comfort orientation (that is, the padding is soft and the packages on both sides are inconspicuous), which has nothing to do with sports. The overall ride feels relaxed and comfortable.
To tell the truth, the fabric seat and the fabric package at the door panel used in the Civic comparison model do lose some texture compared with the A3 comparison model. Or to put it bluntly, in terms of interior atmosphere, this Honda is indeed a little cheaper than Audi at the same price.
Dynamic driving, this is the moment when many Honda fans feel climax. But to be honest, in this link, Civic actually didn't grab any opportunities.
Let's talk about motivation first. Audi A3 recommends that the car be equipped with a turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 150 HP and 1.4T, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. From the data point of view, it is 27 horsepower less than the Civic recommended car, but in terms of the actual body feeling, this 150 horsepower Audi will be a little better than that 177 horsepower Honda. The reason is the seven-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox that comes from "all kinds of insults and incense on the Internet".
In the daily D gear mode, this gearbox is smooth and even a little lazy. Even if you are trampled violently, it is difficult to push the speed above 2000 rpm. As for the problem of low-speed frustration that car buyers are generally worried about, A3 has also made some parts changes through the upgrade of control logic. Specifically, when the vehicle starts, the gearbox will shift into the second gear at the fastest speed, and will not enter the first gear. It will completely slow down in the second gear city to avoid hesitation between the first gear and the second gear when driving at low speed.
S-file mode is the stage of A3' s bloody resurrection. Under the urging of the driver's big foot throttle, this powertrain can quickly downshift or even downshift a few gears, creating a neat and crisp power transmission. Overtaking under the legal speed limit is also very emboldened.
On the handling level, the overall setting of A3 is compact and solid. In the face of the same potholes, the body dynamics and the solid feeling of suspension are obviously higher than that of Civic, and the actual vibration transmitted to the car is also smaller than that of Civic.
Civic's comparison car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 177 horsepower, matching CVT continuously variable transmission.
To tell the truth, this coupe is obviously gentler than the fierceness of A3 after entering S gear. To tell the truth, this 177 HP 1.5T engine has enough acceleration capability, and the matching CVT gearbox is also the best level in the whole CVT industry, and the daily driving is simple and agile, with no sign of "unable to keep up".
However, when dealing with more intense driving dynamics, this gearbox can't realize the "sudden push back" of DSG. In other words, the acceleration actually felt by drivers and passengers is not directly related to the rise of speedometer, and the completely linear power rise of CVT gearbox really cannot create that kind of "pleasure from fist to body".
On the handling level, to be honest, based on the shortened rear and slightly stiff suspension settings, this hatchback Civic really needs a little exercise compared with the sedan model, but the overall tonality is still in the household category.
Specifically, the Civic has good motion potential, the curve pointing can be said to be accurate, and the feedback of the body to the steering input is also quite efficient. It's just that the comfortable suspension setting (yes, the hatchback version is still quite soft after suspension hardening) can't tame the body dynamics well in fierce driving, and the roll control is completely in the category of family cars. Or to put it more bluntly, it has the ability to be rushed, but a slightly messy posture will make you less eager and want to use this ability.
To be honest, based on A3' s current "shocking" terminal discount, this compact car from first-line luxury has never fallen behind in the Civic competition at the same price.
Specific to today's two comparison models, Audi A3 has more advantages in knee airbag, electric seat adjustment, front radar, headlight cleaning, automatic folding rearview mirror, automatic wiper and other comfortable equipment.
Honda Civic has slightly won in technical equipment such as variable steering ratio, remote start, automatic air conditioning and PM2.5 filtration.
0 1: Based on a fairly good terminal market, combined with excellent products and brand power, Audi A3 is an acceptable choice for both sensibility and rationality at present.
02: Under the surface of the hatchback Civic, it is a very domestic and practical heart. Just based on the current market, this car is not very cost-effective.
