The changes in the appearance and interior of the new Sega have been introduced in detail in the previous test drive article. Want to know more friends can go and see:
New Sega's driving experience and exterior interior contents have been discovered in previous articles. Therefore, this evaluation article will not only show you the test data and interpret it, but also help you analyze whether Xinshijia is worth buying and who is worth buying under the current situation.
The model described in this paper is "Sega 20 12 sedan 2.0 automatic control model", that is, the top model with the guide price of147,800 yuan. All parameters and configurations are based on this model.
◆ Changing face is very successful.
Please allow me to make a simple comment on the appearance of the new Sega. After all, quite a few people who fall in love with her should be members of the Appearance Association. Why do you say that? There will be an answer below.
Personally, I think the new Sega's "changing face" is very successful. Although I have seen the old front face for many years, Xinshijia didn't give me the feeling of "not adapting" at first sight. Fierce headlights and the air intake grille with Citroen's brand-new "double" logo have upgraded the temperament of the whole vehicle to a higher level. Only this change is enough to make many friends who have a wait-and-see attitude towards the RMB make up their minds to take action.
Xinjia's headlights are getting more and more handsome, and the level of xenon lamps is not surprising. Headlight height adjustment is standard in the whole system, and the lighting angle of headlights can be adjusted in a small range. When driving on the road without street lights at night, adding headlights can increase the sight distance.
Another change in appearance is the rearview mirror. Consistent with the change of the front face, the rearview mirror of Xinshijia is no longer round, and the turn signal has also moved from the support column to the mirror body, which is in line with the current trend.
◆ Interior-still full of personality
The center console has been redesigned without adding any functions. Officially, it is called "the center console of embossed luxury piano paint". To put it bluntly, the painting is different. And the steering wheel and dashboard are still very personal today. This unique design is very clever, which has hit many young people's interest points. Compared with the old model, the central fixed centralized control type of the steering wheel has not changed, but chrome-plated decoration has been added, and the control area in the middle will not rotate.
The dashboard not only shows different things, but also lies in front of the driver. Instead, it runs to the central console. The electronic tachometer is too small, but Sega says I am a family car, and many car owners don't look at the tachometer. There are enough indicator lights on both sides of the dashboard, and if the first and second drivers are not wearing seat belts, there will be hints.
There is still no ESP in the whole department, so we can only choose three high-end models, which is a bit confusing. ESP is nothing new this year. This is of great help to the driving stability of vehicles in an emergency. Some models with lower positioning than Sega can be standard, but the old Sega can't.
In addition, in addition to the top model equipped with front and side airbags, only the main and auxiliary drivers of other models have airbags. In addition, the safe and comfortable configurations that can be used in daily driving are also complete enough: practical configurations such as cruise control+electronic speed limiter, four-speed adjustment of steering wheel, and automatic turning on of danger warning lights are all standard. The top model is also equipped with rearview mirror electric folding, six-way electric adjustment of driver's seat and manual adjustment of lumbar support.
The speed limit function is not a common configuration at this level. You can turn the knob on the steering wheel and set the speed limit at 30-254 km/h. When the vehicle reaches the set speed limit, it will automatically cut off the oil-now that the speed limiter is in place, there is no need to worry about speeding! But don't forget to adjust when the road speed limit changes.
Another good news is that the new Sega has added a LATCH child seat interface that all the old models are not equipped with, which is a great thing for families with children. Although it is a small detail, it is worthy of recognition. Note: The new Sega is equipped with an ISO FIX-compatible LATCH interface, which is officially called "ISO FIX".
As a family car, the safety configuration of Xinshijia is sufficient, and the side curtain is not common at this level, and it can be reluctantly accepted without ESP. LATCH interface adds many bright spots for practicality and security.
Driving experience
◆ Driving experience-basically consistent with the old driving experience, with weak driving force.
The new armor is no different from the old one in driving, and it can cope with it, but its performance has not changed. The initial stage of suspension is very tough, and lane change and roll are not obvious. At the same time, it can filter out uncomfortable vibration and give consideration to comfort.
Personalized steering wheel has certain influence on driving experience. Some Sega car owners complain that the horn is not easy to use. I tried, and I feel the same way. Because the center doesn't follow the turn and the horn is small, you have to leave the steering wheel if you want to honk when turning. But get used to it, or maybe you don't like honking when you drive too much. The biggest advantage of this central fixed design is that it can ensure the correct angle when the airbag pops up in an emergency.
In addition, when the steering wheel is dropped, the female car owner will feel that it is not easy to use when turning. Also need a little hard is the brake pedal, which has an empty position in the front section. The braking force is relatively small when stepping lightly, but a little force will give you enough braking force.
The expected 6AT didn't come, and this 4AT is completely "outdated" in the number of gears. A series of problems caused by the backwardness of gearbox are exposed in driving experience and test. The only thing that is still a "bright spot" is that the ride comfort in daily driving is not bad, but this cannot be a reason for not making progress.
Compared with the overseas comprehensive upgrade of C4 power system, Citroen's response in China is too slow. No matter how many reasons you have, 4AT, which has fallen behind the times, should not appear in the "new" compact car. Don't expect more and more mainstream 8AT, at least 6AT should not be too late. Citro? n's change of medicine will definitely lead to the decline of its reputation in China.
Many students who love Sega may refute such ugly words.
Yes, when you like a car, what do you think of it? You will ignore her little faults. This is also quite good! Admittedly, apart from the above shortcomings, I can't find out what's wrong with the new Sega. She has a beautiful appearance and personalized interior, finding a balance between mobility and comfort.
Please refer to the next page for the performance of New Sega in various tests.
examination performance
◆ Fuel consumption test: the comprehensive fuel consumption is 1 1.5 1 liter/100 kilometers.
The temperature on the day of the test was 30℃, and the whole test was empty. 1 adult male driving 134.8km, the first half is a congested road with a speed of 20-30km/h, and the second half is a city road and loop with a speed of 60-80km/h. ..
The final fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 1 1.5 1L, which is higher than the recommended reasonable comprehensive fuel consumption of compact vehicles. This result is similar to the old Sega we tested before. As a family car, this fuel consumption score is a bit high.
What causes unsatisfactory fuel consumption? The 4AT gearbox should be considered as one of the factors. The sparse transmission ratio makes Sega shift up late when driving on urban roads: 3000 rpm in D gear and 4000 rpm in S gear, and the average engine speed is high, so she can only keep high speed when cruising at 60-80 km/h, which directly leads to the increase of fuel consumption; In addition, nearly half of the roads in this fuel consumption test are congested, so the fuel consumption will be higher. I hope PSA Group can popularize 6AT as soon as possible.
◆ Noise test
The noise suppression performance of the new A is better, but the wind noise of 120km/h is slightly higher, which does not affect the normal communication of passengers. However, the noise of the engine is a little loud at low speed, which is related to the high average speed. If you like quiet, you may need to treat the accelerator pedal of the new Sega more gently than other cars.
◆0- 100 km/h acceleration: 10.88 seconds.
Turn off ESP, press the accelerator and brake pedal at the same time, the engine will keep about 3000 rpm, and the front wheel will slip briefly when the brake is released. The maximum acceleration g value reaches 0.563g, the phenomenon of flat lifting is not obvious, and there is no feeling of pushing back. The whole acceleration process is unremarkable and there is not much passion. As can be seen from the figure, the acceleration g value of 1 gear has been hovering around 0.3g, while the acceleration g value of the second gear is only 0.2g, so the final performance of10.88second has no advantage in competing products of the same level. Think about Sega's slogan "Type, move, have me". The new Sega that can match the sport may only have a hatchback MT model.
◆ 100-0km/h braking: excellent performance at 40.85 meters.
When braking completely, the vehicle nods seriously and the suspension stroke is too long. ABS has little response to the brake pedal, and the instep will not feel uncomfortable. The braking value of g is stable at around-1g. After 10 continuous braking, the performance of the new Sega is very stable, and there is no thermal recession, which is worthy of recognition. In the end, the average score of 40.85 meters is surprising, which is more than 4 meters higher than the old Sega we tested before!
Such a big increase is directly related to tires. All the vehicles we tested were equipped with Goodyear eagle nct5 tires, which performed better than the old Jin Hu tires in the test. The braking performance of 40.85 meters is very competitive in the same class.
In all tests, the performance of the new Sega is "stepped"-the braking performance is among the best in the same class, the noise is quite satisfactory, and the acceleration and fuel consumption are not satisfactory.
Analysis and summary
◆ Analysis and summary
After paying attention to Sega Forum for a period of time, I found that in general, Sega owners have several characteristics: one is young, and the other is pragmatic. This is in line with the positioning of the new Sega in my mind. In my opinion, Sega is designed for stable and pragmatic young people, and the younger appearance of the new Sega also confirms this. These young people care about fuel consumption and maintenance costs; At the same time, there is no lack of romance and personality pursued by peers.
The advantages and disadvantages of the new A are obvious. Beautiful appearance and personalized interior, as well as good handling and excellent brakes, have given many people reasons to like her; But the high fuel consumption and mediocre performance brought by the old technology are intertwined. Because of this, it is easy to judge whether she is suitable for you.
If you are old, the overly personalized appearance and interior of the new Sega may make you stop; But the performance data brought by the old technology is not very good, and friends who pursue performance will turn around and leave. Of course, if you don't care about 4AT at all, don't "race" with others, and just want to buy a beautiful and personalized scooter, then Sega is worth buying, but considering fuel consumption and other reasons, it is recommended to buy1.6L5mt.
Ford Focus (check the transaction price | vehicle details):11.99-169,90011.99-162900.

At this year's Beijing Auto Show, Fox ushered in a new generation of products, with a newly designed appearance and interior, equipped with more advanced 1.6L and 2.0L engines, and equipped with dual clutch and manual gearbox. Compared with the old model, the performance of the new Focus has been greatly improved, and the driving experience tends to be more comfortable. The new Focus comes standard with a set of technology called "active grille closing", which can make the vehicle have better aerodynamic performance and help reduce fuel consumption and driving performance. In addition, her various electronic stability systems are complete and the configuration is quite rich. Compared with the brand-new Sega, the brand-new Focus is almost completely superior in performance, safety configuration and fuel economy, but at the same time, the guide price is more than 20,000 yuan, which is worth it personally.
General Chevrolet Cruze:1089-1599,000
"Click to view Cruze 1.6T test article"
Since Cruze was equipped with 1.6T engine, it has been worthy of the name. The measured acceleration of 8. 12 seconds per 100 kilometers is the fastest among the models I recommend, and the braking distance of 39.5 meters is also the shortest. More importantly, although Cruze 1.6T has only one model, it carries out the movement to the end and is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Excellent performance and driving pleasure are not available to New Sega. Now Cruze offers a discount of 65,438+0,000 yuan. Of course, even so, you still have to pay nearly 10 thousand yuan more than the top model of New Sega.
FAW-Volkswagen Bora: 10.78- 146800
Click to view the new Bora 1.4T test article.
Bora is equipped with 1.6L naturally aspirated and 1.4TSI turbocharged direct injection engines, which are matched with 6AT/5MT and 7DSG/5MT gearboxes respectively. Among the four models I recommend, Bora has the lowest fuel consumption. 1.4TSI models have excellent fuel consumption while ensuring power output, 7.37L/ 100km. His price is basically the same as that of New Sega, but the configuration is different. There is also news that I don't know if it is good or bad: due to the high failure rate of DSG gearbox, Volkswagen has extended the warranty period of DSG to 10 year or160,000 kilometers, but only if Volkswagen owners can repair and maintain their vehicles in 4S shops, which is really a "pit" for many car owners ...

Dongfeng Peugeot 308:10.39-145438+0.9 million
"Click to view Peugeot 308 test article"
Peugeot 308 is equipped with the same power combination as New Sega: 1.6L and 2.0L naturally aspirated engines, 4AT and 5MT. On the basis of 307, the redesigned 308 is very innovative in appearance and interior. Her driving experience and various test results are similar to those of New Sega, but the configuration is not as good as that of New Sega: automatic air conditioning, automatic headlights, multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, rearview mirror electric folding and so on. His biggest advantage lies in the price: 14 19000 yuan, plus the discount of 4000 yuan, which makes him the cheapest of these models, saving nearly 10000 yuan compared with the top model of Xinshijia. If your budget is not high, you can consider it.
Based on the models mentioned above, the new Focus seems to be more attractive, but the price is also the highest. Cruze is the most fun way to drive, but it also faces the disadvantage of high price. Bora has a balanced performance in all aspects. Of course, 1.4T engine has always enjoyed a good reputation in terms of fuel consumption. Peugeot 308 is the cheapest of several models, with relatively rich configuration and the highest cost performance, but it is slightly mediocre and will not leave a deep impression on people. Looking back now, the brand-new Sega is still competitive in price, absolutely second to none in personality performance, and absolutely not worse than other competitors in configuration, so the comprehensive strength is still outstanding in several models, except for the backward powertrain and insufficient power performance.
Finally, by the way, it is expected that the domestic Sega prototype Citroen C4 will be worth looking forward to at the end of the year. This time, it is the real C4, which will make up for Citroen's share in the compact car market segment, slightly higher than Sega's positioning. Domestic C4 is expected to be equipped with Citroen's latest 1.6T engine and 6AT gearbox, and it will face the direct challenge of the new Focus and sagitar models mentioned above. Whether Citroen can compete with these strong competitors in this market segment will soon be revealed. (Text/Figure Stone Photography Li Yi, Shi
