Nissan Hennessey, Volkswagen Ranger and Volkswagen Bora, how to choose these three cars? It should be said that these three cars are the reputation, cost-effective models, buy which one can not be wrong. However, if we go deeper to analyze the main selling points of the three cars, we will find that there are still different focuses, we will analyze today what are the differences between these three cars, and more suitable for what kind of users.

The comparison of the model versions are Hennessey 2021 1.6L?TOP?CVT Luxury Edition (hereinafter referred to as Hennessey, the guide price of 143,000), Rangyi 2021 280TSI?DSG Comfort Edition (hereinafter referred to as Rangyi, the guide price of 146,900) and Bora 2020 Modified 280TSI?DSG Elite (hereinafter referred to as Bora, the guide price of 149,000) . All three cars have a guide price of around $140,000, but are currently available at different discounts, so let's look at the product performance first.

This generation of Hennessey is the 14th generation model, and Nissan's first A-class car under the CMF architecture. It adopts the latest family-style V-Motion 2.0 design language, and looks much younger and more fashionable, with a stronger sense of three-dimensionality in its styling, and richer details. Both the Lange and Bora come from VW's MQB platform and also adopt VW's latest styling, still maintaining VW's usual atmospheric and robust character.

The headlights of the three cars are equipped with LED light sources for both low and high beams and daytime running lights, with the Hennessey modeling being more slender and sharp, and the details done to perfection, while the headlights of the Lanyard and Boraie and the center grille both have lines running through them, with the Lanyard's lines a bit more rigid, and the Boraie's lamps having a more ordinary shape. All three cars are equipped with halogen front fog lamps in the side gills, with the Hennessey fog lamp area having the dimensionality of a ventilated channel for a more dynamic look, while the Lanyi and Bora are located at either end of the lower ventilated channel of the penetrating style, which is much blander looking.

Henyi side modeling has the shadow of the big brother of the Sky, segmented waistline to bring a wealth of light and shadow changes in the effect of the C-pillar using black trim cleverly create a floating roof effect. Lange and Bora side shape has a certain **** sex, retained the Volkswagen consistent sense of atmosphere, but the Lange's side mounted symmetry is better, the body waistline extension is stronger, more in line with the national demand for sedans to have a sense of grandeur.

From the table above, we can see that the three car body size difference is not much, but then the Hennessey in the wheelbase to do very prominent, the width is also very full, reflecting the pursuit of space for the cabin, but at the same time, the body height try to reduce, improve driving stability. And Lanyi and Bora in the same wheelbase under the premise of a do longer, a do wider.

Three cars of the tail are wide enough to full, Hennessey's body is obviously wider than the cabin, the tail of the line modeling is also very design, and did not pursue the horizontal stretch, while the Longyi and Boraie through the rich horizontal lines to enhance the sense of hierarchy, modeling is simple but more durable. Tail lamp styling, Xuan Yi and Bao Lai is more sharp and fashionable, Lang Yi is slightly conservative. All three cars use a hidden exhaust layout, but the Lanyi and Bora still retain the bilateral **** dual exit decoration, looks slightly more sporty, Hennessey's rear is more holistic.

The interior of the Hennessey does an excellent job in terms of styling, color scheme and sense of hierarchy, and the young and stylish ambience is the strongest among the three cars, with the exclusive two-tone color scheme of the top model being more prominent. The same MQB platform to build the Langyi and Boraie in the layout of the cabin has a similar wonder, the difference is that the Boraie's center console overall bias in the driver's side, highlighting the concept of driver-centered, while the Langyi is in the middle of the rules look more atmospheric. All three cars are equipped with multi-function flat-bottomed steering wheel to please young users, Hennessey is equipped with an 8-inch floating center screen, Lanyi and Bora are equipped with 8-inch and 6.5-inch embedded center screen, of course, Bora also supports the 8-inch center screen option.

Three cars dashboard are used double disc + trip computer combination, but the Hennessey is equipped with a 7-inch color trip computer, both the shape and display screen than the latter two monochrome trip computer are much better. Lange and Bora can be said to be the same style, the difference is that the Lange supports the optional 8-inch color trip computer.

The three cars all use the more traditional mechanical gear lever, Hennessey's gear lever is arranged on the left, easy to operate and conducive to the layout of the space, the Lanyard and Bora are close to the layout of the gear lever table, the center of the gear lever occupies more space, the left side of the electronic handbrake, automatic parking, automatic start-stop and economy mode function button, the main difference is that the Lanyard's gear lever on the right side of the design of the slot, and the Bora will be a one-touch start button arranged on the left side of the key. One-touch start button is arranged on the left side. In contrast, the Hennessey's vehicle function buttons are located at the left rear of the steering wheel, but it uses the rare foot brake parking brake, which is a somewhat outdated configuration.

Three front seats are wide and thick, Hennessey leather + imitation leather material, and the use of rich diamond pattern to enhance the sense of class, the Lange for leather + fabric material, and Bora for the pure imitation leather material, whether it is comfort or class feeling, Hennessey are better than the latter two, Nissan "big sofa" comfort here to be The comfort of Nissan's "big sofa" is reflected here. Functionality, Hennessey and Bora's main driver's seat support front and rear, backrest, height (2-way) and lumbar (2-way) adjustment, only Hennessey configured with electric adjustment, Lange is less lumbar (2-way) adjustment; three cars of the passenger seat only support front and rear, backrest manual adjustment, Bora's front seats can be equipped with an optional heated function.

Three cars with the same rear seat material and the front row, are equipped with floor air conditioning vents, only Hennessey is equipped with a central folding armrest, but also with two water cup holders, convenience is more outstanding. In terms of space, thanks to the performance of the 2712mm wheelbase, Hennessey's leg and lateral space is more spacious than that of the Lanyard and the Bora, but it is inferior in height, and overall the rear rows of the three cars are very adequate.

Power is a big difference between the three cars, Hennessey equipped with Nissan HR16 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, maximum power of 99kW (135Ps)/6300rpm, maximum torque of 159Nm/4000rpm, matched with CVT. The Lange and Bora are equipped with the same EA211 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW (150Ps)/5000rpm and a maximum torque of 250Nm/1,750-3,000rpm, mated to a 7-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission. Comprehensively, the Hennessey's 1.6L self-priming engine output data has a significant gap, and the CVT transmission is also good at fast power, winning in the power output is smooth, more adapted to the urban area more start. The 1.4T engine of the Rangyi and Bora wins in power, acceleration is more energetic, gear shifting is also very fast, but inevitably there is a certain sense of frustration, repeated start will not seem smooth enough. In terms of comprehensive fuel consumption, Hennessey is 5.1L/100km, while Langyi and Bora are 5.5L/100km.

Chassis, the three cars are used in the front MacPherson independent + rear torsion beam non-independent suspension combination, are front front-drive layout. Hennessey tire size of 215/50?R17, with 17-inch wheels more atmospheric, while the latter two are 205/55?R16 smaller wheels. From the driving experience point of view, the chassis of the Lanyard and Bora has a German car has always been a solid sense of stability at high speeds, high stability, the steering wheel does not feel heavy, and the current generation of Xuanyi in the high-speed stability has been greatly improved, no longer like the previous drift, steering feel is also relatively light. In terms of noise control, Hennessey also has a great improvement, and the performance of the two Volkswagen cars is similar.

But in terms of configuration, the Hennessey is ahead of the game. First, it's the only one with L2-level driver assistance, which is a big advantage. Secondly it has the most advanced Telematics system, supporting OTA upgrades, remote control of the vehicle, voice control including navigation and air conditioning, as well as an on-board car recorder and speed-sensitive wipers. The car system of the Lange and Bora does not support Internet access, and can only be mapped to the Internet with a cell phone, which is backward in this regard. However, both the Lange and Bora have a sport mode, which is richer in terms of driving experience, and the Bora is slightly more advanced than the Lange with more fixed-speed range. The Lange is the only one of the three cars that doesn't have a reversing camera, keyless start and keyless entry and temperature zone control air conditioning. In comparison, the Lange is the most sparsely equipped, with the Bora still a bit ahead.

Finally, we look at the current terminal incentives for the price of the Hennessey, Rangyi and Bora enjoy terminal incentives of 4,000 yuan, 17,600 yuan and 38,000 yuan, respectively, and the body price after the incentives for the Hennessey 139,000 yuan, Rangyi 129,300 yuan, Bora 111,000 yuan, and pre-incentive rankings are exactly the opposite of what they were before the incentives.

Kandi comment:

A comparison, we will find that the Xuanyi can give in the A class to achieve leadership does have its inevitability, in addition to appearance and interior more pleasing to the people, the configuration is far ahead, only in the performance of the power of some vulnerable. While Longyi in sales has been ahead of Boraie is more or less confusing, Boraie configuration is actually more complete, from its slightly higher pricing can also be seen, but Boraie's sales to a large extent to rely on substantial discounts, indicating that its long-term quality and reputation lag behind Longyi, resulting in a decline in the ability to pay a premium. Overall, young people's first car, for power requirements will not be very high, Hennessey can indeed become the first choice, while Boraie is more suitable for more value for money friends, Langyi is more suitable for friends who value quality.
