There are many tricks to change the face of compact SUV, and BBA also has its own tricks.

For consumers, buying a compact SUV is indeed a very pleasing choice. Their sitting posture is higher, their vision is wider, their passability is better, and their space is more abundant than that of cars, but they are not as heavy and boring as medium and large SUVs, and they are more convenient to park and more flexible to control. They are the best choice for commuting in cities or running mountains occasionally on weekends.

After meeting the basic demands of tool carts, these products have also developed a variety of different styles of derivative versions after several years of iteration. Like Audi Q3 and Q3? Sportback BMW X 1 and X2; Mercedes-Benz GLA and GLB and so on. Q3, X 1 and GLA are as safe as the basic models of Uniqlo, while the models behind them are like "Niko? And ... ",which belongs to the trendy things with a little sense of design and younger personality.

The key point is to choose them without too much cost and practicality. How to play new tricks on the basic model? It's time to test the designer's skill. Today, let's take a look at how several models represented by BBA show the face-changing method. Which one do you like?

Audi is designed not to roll over.

Based on the existing SUV, it has become the basic operation of major brands since BMW X6\X4. Although there is a little controversy about this model, the "fish and bear's paw" model, which combines the beautiful back line of the coupe and the advantages of the SUV's high body, has always had its own stable target group for many years.

If we put the beautiful backs of A7 and A5 on Q3, what kind of chemical reaction will it be? Q3 launched in May? Sportback will be an answer, positioning the coupe SUV, and it is expected that the price will be very cute after domestic production. According to the declaration drawing, compared with the basic Q3, the chrome trim strips on the front face and tail are blackened, and the back lines falling at high speed weaken the square frame feeling of the SUV.

But the declaration map is just like the photo of the ID card, and it is always a little hard to say. Let's take a look at the overseas photos.

Although I haven't seen the domestic version of the real car, I personally feel that Audi seems to have won this wave of operation. After all, Avant cars, A5 and A7 have all been built. It seems that Audi is a brand that is very good at designing ass. Perhaps it is a combination of many sports appearance parts and relatively compact body size. Q3？ Sportback's tail shape is not abrupt, and the "Darth Vader" version is also full of fighting atmosphere.

For those who like exquisite cars, Q2L, another maverick small SUV of Audi, can't be ignored. Why is it unique? Because Audi gives people the impression that its design is moderate, it pays attention to the rear space, and it knows China people best, but Q2L really doesn't fit in with its brother models. However, its appearance finally gave Audi a wayward car that could compete with BMW X2, Volvo XC40 and Jaguar E-PACE.

Pay tribute to the classic and sporty BMW.

X2 is the one with the highest value among even generation members of BMW SUV family. Compared with the abrupt X4 and X6, the compact proportion of X2 looks more harmonious, much like a 2-series station wagon. The logo of the C-pillar is actually a tribute to the classic coupes BMW2000CS and BMW3.0CSL.

For Bimmer who knows some historical stories, it will be a good talk. For ordinary people, the more direct value of this design is that you can recognize it as a big BMW from any angle.

Besides, I think the X2 seat is an unexpected bright spot. Before the appearance of the new 3 Series, BMW's entry-level models never took interior design seriously, and X2 was no exception. However, the two huge integrated sports seats in the front row seem to have just been detached from the Z4 and installed, which has a strong and pleasant sense of disobedience.

If you, like me, have tested the X2 on the track, you will understand that these two seats are not useless. BMW's front-wheel drive training level is vividly displayed on X2. It is said that in Tianjin v 1 International Circuit, X2 (imported version) was brushed with lap speed no less than that of Long Axis Series 3.

At present, the entry price of domestic X2 is less than 220,000 after the terminal discount, and the visibility on the road is getting higher and higher. This is a gratifying phenomenon, which shows that consumers don't always value the main space so much. As long as the shape design is successful and the control is strong, the exquisite small SUV also has the charm of making consumers pay the bill. If the coupe SUV should have the same sense of movement, then the answer sheet handed over by BMW is still a high-scoring winner.

Mercedes-Benz is the only 7-seat choice in its class.

If you think the design of GLA is too feminine, then the straight line of GLB may be favored by many male consumers. What's even more amazing is that GLB's eye-catching way is not luxury, not design, but the only compact luxury SUV in its class that offers 7 seats. Bare cars cost less than 300,000, and they are dubbed as hardcover small three-bedroom houses.

From the side, GLB is not particularly eye-catching on the basis of family design, but looks like a pragmatic little warm man at home, so you will find that it has obvious advantages over X 1 and Q3 in length, height and wheelbase. The rear of this car looks like a small GLS. Overall, in design, it is a compact SUV with anti-sports style.

Interior is the strength of Mercedes-Benz. Compared with the other two competing products, GLB is not disappointing. Double screen, chrome-plated metal and bright black decorative plates are not absent. As for the third row, I personally think that there are actually two seats in the trunk, which is a small room that is better than nothing. Of course, you can also choose the 5-seat version. GLB's 1.3T engine can produce 136 horsepower at maximum. For a warm-hearted man at home, it is understandable to cooperate with the driving style of Buddhism.

Summary:

BBA's product strategy is very different about how to do more tricks on compact SUVs. GLB pays attention to space practicality, Audi Q3? Sportback focuses on design. Among several cars, I personally prefer X2, because compared with the practice of introducing derivative version by changing the tail shape of the original model, BMW X2 is the one with the largest investment and the highest design integrity. The imported version was made in China just one year after its launch, which shows BMW's expectation for it. Although you may think that front-wheel drive BMW has no soul, in fact, BMW's training level for front-wheel drive is still not to be underestimated (see MINI).
