Bitche Original Volkswagen Lavida, Bora, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sylphy are evergreen models in the sales list. Each has a huge consumer group and fan base. The product strength also has its own advantages and different focuses, catering to the personalized needs of different consumers in the market. , and with the launch of the new Lavida and the new Bora, the topic of which of the four cars is stronger at this time has been mentioned again. However, from the editor’s personal point of view, with the rise of independent brands, the old and strong ones What is often most tested is intelligent performance. So, as the new four modernizations hit today, can the performance of the four "old boxers" keep up with the times in terms of intelligence? Today, we might as well focus on the vehicle system and compare the competition among the four models!
This comparison mainly focuses on the vehicle system, so in order to make the comparison more fair and better reflect the true level of the four models, the four models selected for this real shot are all high-end configurations, including the New Lavida and Bora The Sylphy and Sylphy are the top models, while the Corolla is the second-highest model among the fuel-powered models. Below, we will gradually analyze and compare the intelligent performance of the four models.
Appearance review: Family designs each have their own merits
First of all, we will briefly review the appearance of the four cars. There is no doubt that the four cars all adopt their own family-style designs in terms of appearance. The New Lavida and Bora are brother models, and the front face shape has also been modified to a certain extent. Differentiate, among which Bora is more sporty and capable , after the mid-term facelift of the new Lavida, the front face has also been fine-tuned, making the overall look more refined. At the same time, the starry sky version model has a more fashionable and dynamic shape, which is in line with the aesthetics of today's young users, while both Corolla and Sylphy adopt A large-sized mesh is used to highlight the sporty feel. Generally speaking, the new Lavida/Bora/Corolla/Sylphy have strong brand recognition in terms of appearance.
Today's young users are becoming more and more rational in the field of consumption, especially when buying cars. In addition to perceptual factors such as appearance, practicality, suitability, or whether it is easy to use will become the decisive factors. . So below, we will get into the focus of this article and see how the four cars perform in terms of intelligence.
Car-machine competition: Who is better?
The new car-machine system is called MOS3. It also brings more functional experience.
The UI interface of the new Lavida's car-machine system is very intuitive and easy to understand. The card-style UI design is easy to win the favor of users. At the same time, based on actual experience, the screen is clear and the operation is smooth. Regular functions include navigation, music, and 4G network. , WIFIHotspots, OTA upgrades, gesture controls, wireless CarPlay and CarLife are all available, with powerful and comprehensive functions.
It is worth mentioning that the entire new Lavida series supports wireless CarPlay and Baidu CarLife. This will be a blessing for friends who rely more on the mobile phone ecosystem. At least this high-frequency configuration will not be affected by high or low. Match and shrink.
The upgrade of the MOS3. Switching between different theme scenes can also be combined with voice maps to improve convenience and practicality. In addition, the new system also brings functions including emotional voice assistants, in-car applets, and online short videos.
It is worth mentioning that the New Lavida provides 5 years of free basic Internet of Vehicles services and unlimited basic traffic, which can be used for voice control, car navigation, map updates, app downloads, remote control of vehicles and other services; in addition, additional services will be provided within 5 years 500M media traffic per month can be used for listening to online music, watching online short videos, etc. In the first year, the new Lavida also comes with free 3G in-car WiFi hotspot traffic.
In terms of assisted driving functions, the New Lavida is also very powerful. In addition to the AEB active safety system supported by the whole series, functions including reversing imaging, front and rear parking radar, ACC adaptive cruise and electronic handbrake are also equipped, and users can Set up the assisted driving system through the car machine.
The New Lavida also has a remote start function. By downloading the SAIC Volkswagen APP, users can flash lights, whistle, unlock/unlock and other operations. At the same time, users can also check the vehicle's remaining cruising range, maintenance and repairs through the APP. Records and user manuals, etc., and through the actual experience in the past few days, I have become more and more dependent on this function, which can at least basically replace the frequent action of taking the car keys.
Summary: In general, the new Lavida's MOS3. Users often just need CarPlay or CarLife, but On the basis of these regular functions, the New Lavida has further enriched the functions of the car system, such as the food map and self-driving road book, which were well received by this test drive. They are used very frequently. In this regard, the New Lavida is also We have done enough market research to clearly understand the current needs of young users.
Although the car-machine system equipped with Bora has the same origin as the new Lavida, it lags slightly behind in version iteration. First of all, the basic functions of the Bora car are also very powerful, but the low-end models only support wired CarPlay and CarLife, and are not equipped with functions such as OTA upgrades, WIFI hotspots, scene-based intelligent online navigation, and self-driving itineraries.
In actual operation, the menu logic of Bora's human-computer interaction system is generally similar to that of the New Lavida. The screen is clear, the sliding is smooth, and the basic functions are powerful. However, the gap in some functions affects the user experience. Generally speaking, There is still a gap compared with its brother model New Lavida.
Summary: Overall, the human-computer interaction system equipped by Bora has many similarities with the New Lavida, including operating logic, UI interface design, etc. The basic functions are very powerful, but a closer comparison can be found that Bora Compared with the new Lavida, this set of car engines still has richer functions. There is a certain gap. First of all, the low-end model of Bora does not support wireless CarPlay and CarLife. At the same time, the new Lavida also has new functions such as scene-based smart maps, emotional voice assistants, and OTA upgrades. Therefore, I have to admit that the new Lavida’s car system still needs to be improved. Better than Bora.
The interior of Sylphy has been awarded Ward's Top Ten. Although it can give high marks in terms of design, from the perspective of technology, the combination of Sylphy's 8-inch central control screen + traditional mechanical instruments Obviously it cannot win the favor of young users.
This Nissan Connect 2.0 system is quite good in terms of human-computer interaction experience. The card-style UI interface is very pleasant. In addition to some of the basic functions mentioned above, this car-computer system also supports car-computer interaction. Networking, OTA upgrades, remote control and 10 years of basic services are free of data. Except for the absence of CarPlay and CarLife, other functions are basically sufficient for daily travel.
Summary: In terms of the regular functions of Sylphy's car system, there is actually nothing worth complaining about. For example, navigation, music and voice systems are all equipped, but the problem is that each of its functions is placed in the right place. Looking down, there are areas worthy of optimization. At the same time, the hardware gap also greatly affects the user experience of this Nissan Connect 2.0 system. So overall, Sylphy's car-machine system can only be considered a passing standard at the moment.
The interior of the Corolla is a standard Toyota style. All designs are mainly practical, and there are not many fancy functions, even for sub-top models.The model and instrument panel are also traditional mechanical; in terms of vehicle and engine, Corolla provides three different sizes of central control screens: 8-inch, 9-inch and 12.1-inch. The actual model uses a 9-inch central control screen. For those who are close to 14 In terms of the price of 10,000 yuan, the 12.1-inch central control screen is only available for the top model, which obviously makes people feel that Toyota Corolla is a bit stingy.
In terms of regular functions, including navigation, music, intelligent voice system and other functions, Corolla has them all, but it has the same problem as Sylphy, that is, the wired CarPlay and CarLife mobile phone interconnection functions are not unified, and some low-end models are not It is standard, but mid- to high-end models do not support it, which is really not the case.
Since it does not have functions such as mobile phone interconnection, conventional navigation, music and other functions can only use the functions that come with the car system. In addition, the touch screen is not very sensitive, so the experience is naturally not very good.
Summary: Judging from this review, I will rank Corolla’s human-computer interaction system at the bottom. The most obvious reason is the user experience. First of all, a good car-machine system does not mean how much is needed. "Showing off" functions often result in high scores if the basic functions and experience are well done. In this regard, the intelligent system equipped with the Corolla is unparalleled in any aspect, whether it is visual sense, experience sense or richness of functions. Stand out from the four cars.
Editor’s comment: Through a horizontal comparison of the vehicle and computer systems of the four cars, it can be found that although the new Lavida and the new Bora come from the same family and have generally similar basic functions, the vehicle and computer systems equipped by the two "brother models" have different versions. There is still a certain gap in iteration. The MOS3. Nissan Although the Connect 2.0 system also has conventional functions such as navigation and music, and the card-style UI interface is not bad, the 8-inch size is indeed the smallest among the four cars this time, and it does not have CarPlay and CarLife, which is a bit " It means "a partial science student"; and the Corolla's car system has the most flaws. The UI interface is a bit old-fashioned and the response speed is slow. It does not have CarPlay and CarLife. After experiencing it, it will make people feel that it is not like what it is today. The standard of the times. So my conclusion is that from the perspective of whether the car system is easy to use, my answer among the four cars will be the New Lavida.
Okay, now that we have a comprehensive understanding of the car and engine functions of the four models, in the next article, we will take a look at the four models of New Lavida/Bora/Sylphy/Corolla.differences in performance.
