Bitche Original No matter what 2022 will be like, after the Spring Festival, it will be a new year of life. Now that the epidemic is unblocked, visiting relatives and friends, mahjong banquets, and family trips. The taste of the past few years that has been missing seems to have returned. Today I would like to recommend to you three models with both brand and product capabilities within 200,000 yuan. Let’s start the new year with a new car.
Lynk & Co 03
Official guide price: 137,800-256,800 yuan
Lynk & Co has always been a relatively successful domestic brand on the road to high-end development, and has a good reputation among young people. The personalized design and fashionable brand positioning also have many fans. As the only sedan model of the Lynk & Co brand, the sales of Lynk & Co 03 are acceptable, but the old 1.5T three-cylinder engine does make many consumers hesitant, and the racing-oriented 03+ is not so down-to-earth. However, the new generation of Lynk & Co 03 comes with a four-cylinder engine and a hybrid version, plus many major upgrades. It can be said that this generation of Lynk & Co 03 is more people-friendly and more worthy of recommendation.
The new car continues the Lynk & Co family design style in appearance, but has adjusted many details and incorporated the latest design elements, including re-optimizing the front grille and front bumper, and a larger lower grille. The grille is paired with a fog lamp design that extends to both sides, and the overall visual effect is more sporty than the current model.
As the family’s iconic design, the split-type headlights have been continued on the new Lynk & Co 03. The style of the LED daytime running lights located above has been re-optimized and become more slender and three-dimensional. The matrix headlights can illuminate 170 Objects that are meters away.
The side of the car still looks familiar to us. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4684/1843/1460mm respectively. The overall size is one circle larger than the current model. The wheelbase remains at 2730mm, and the taillights have been changed to make them more recognizable. The taller through-type taillights and rear surround have also been re-optimized to echo the front of the car and look more layered. At the same time, the two exhaust pipes on both sides have been retained.
The interior of the new 03 has become more capable and concise compared to the old 03. A large number of soft materials are added to the interior and the center console is covered with Nubuck suede, creating a strong sporty atmosphere. Of course, the old model also uses a lot of suede materials, but after the change of the central control layout, the new model's sense of technology has been greatly improved.
The new car also has good upgrades in terms of configuration. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument display is rich in functions and has three display themes. Among them, the sports mode has an exclusive theme and can be linked with the central control screen. You can slide the navigation with three fingers. The information pans to the LCD instrument.
SuspendedThe size of the central control screen has been upgraded to 12.8 inches. The entire series is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip as standard. The hard drive has been upgraded to 128G. The computing power of the new Lynk & Co OS system has been increased by 300%. The interface operation process and most functions can be controlled through the AI voice assistant. to control. Judging from the actual experience, there is basically no lag, and the system menu is clearer. For young consumers, it is very easy to be attracted by a well-made car system.
The driving assistance system adopts a driving assistance solution composed of 8 ultrasonic radars + 3 millimeter wave radars + 5 cameras, which can realize automatic parking, lane changing with lights, rear collision warning system, merging assistance and other functions . It can be said that at present, this driving assistance system can fully meet the needs of most people.
In terms of other configurations, including electronic gear knob, wireless charging for mobile phones, automatic zone air conditioning, panoramic sunroof and other functions, they have all appeared on the new model, and the sense of class has been improved.
In terms of power, the new generation Lynk & Co 03 1.5T version has been replaced with a new 1.5T four-cylinder engine. The maximum power and maximum torque are slightly improved compared to the current model; the new generation Lynk & Co 03 2.0T version is powered by Drive-E When the 2.0TD T4+7DCT is upgraded to the Drive-E 2.0TD T5+7DCT Evo, acceleration from zero to zero increases from 7.4s to 6.9s.
The new generation of Lynk & Co 03+ and Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan customized version are both equipped with Drive-E 2.0TD T5 Evo+8AT+ four-wheel drive system. The four-wheel drive system is also powered by BorgWarner’s fifth-generation intelligent sports four-wheel drive system. The drive system is upgraded to the sixth-generation BorgWarner four-wheel drive system.
The powertrain of the Lynk & Co 03 EM-F hybrid version consists of a 1.5T hybrid-specific engine + a 3-speed DHT gearbox. The 1.5T hybrid-specific engine has a thermal efficiency of 43.32%, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 110kW.

Audi A3 Limousine
209,600-251,300 yuan
The Audi A3 is prepared for those who pay attention to the brand and overall cost-effectiveness. In fact, there are many configurations in this price range that are sky-high, including 2.0T models. However, there are also a considerable number of consumers who have deeper requirements for their cars - a sense of quality. The creation is equally important. If you use the car alone or as a couple all year round, then the Audi A3L will be a very good choice.
Audi A3Adopting the Audi family-style design, although it is the entry-level model of the Audi brand, the design level of the A3 is not ambiguous at all. First of all, the front face shape is divided into elegant and sporty styles. This is the same design idea as A4L and A6L. The design of dual front faces can satisfy consumers who like different styles. The main difference between the two front face designs is the shape of the front apron and the grille. The sports version has a sharper front apron and a blackened grille, making it look younger.
Let’s talk about the design of the sports version in particular. Its design is derived from the design of high-performance cars. The front face is very sharp and uses a honeycomb air intake grille, which is exactly the same as the RS model of Audi’s high-performance department. In recent years, Audi has begun to popularize this type of design and decentralize high-level designs so that ordinary consumers can also have the appearance of a performance car.
Lighting configuration is Audi's specialty. All Audi A3 series are equipped with LED high and low beams as standard. The segmented lighting shape is very delicate and recognizable, and the lighting effect is also very ceremonial.
Secondly, in terms of body size, the Audi A3 has launched two versions, the hatchback version and the extended sedan version. The former focuses on the original small steel cannon positioning and focuses on driving pleasure; the latter focuses on exquisite large space and more Focus on driving comfort. The lengthened Audi A3L is no longer criticized as before in terms of space. Although it is not sufficient, it can ensure the comfort of rear passengers. What we recommend today is A3L, which is the Audi A3 Limousine.
This generation of A3L is the first time that it has been lengthened for the Chinese market. After all, the old model also has a sedan version, but the wheelbase is the same as the hatchback version. Although the length of the car has increased, it does not show a strange shape in appearance. The side of the car still creates a very coordinated body proportion. It can be said that it has effectively learned the design experience of A4L and A6L. The wheels also use five-spoke sports wheels, and the slender spokes have a good visual effect.
The rear design retains Audi's family design, which is not stunning, but has Audi's exquisite and compact design. It's just that the rear apron of the sports version is a bit more conventional.
The interior design style of the Audi A3 is very Audi. It adheres to the main line of technological sense. It is actually relatively restrained in the application of the screen and the layout of the buttons. It does not blindly pile up the size or quantity, but is more conducive to use and convenient. drive.
For example, the most obvious ones are the multimedia screen tilted toward the driver's seat and the same gear lever as the Porsche 911, which is very convenient for driving and operation. It is small and exquisite in size, and can also free up more storage space, making up for the old model. The shortcomings of the A3.
The air-conditioning outlet above the center console is extremely eye-catching, which is in line with the style of the new A3Sporty, sports car-style air-conditioning outlets add to the fighting atmosphere. Some people may find this design difficult to understand, but it is not obtrusive with the overall interior style. It forms a stepped shape from the instrument panel, air outlets to the center console, and the integration is just right.
In terms of power, the Audi A3L is equipped with a 1.4T engine and is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The maximum power of the engine is 110kW and the maximum torque is 250N·m. Some people may be confused by the continued use of this engine, but There is almost no doubt about the performance of this engine. After all, we are very familiar with this powertrain, and it has a good reputation in models such as Sagitar and Lingdu L.
The maximum power and maximum torque of the entry-level version of the Audi A3/A3L are mid-range in the same class. The main advantage is that the balance between power and fuel consumption is very good. It accelerates from standstill to 100km/h in 9 seconds, which is not too fast. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.8L/100km, so this powertrain is quite mature. In addition, although they have the same powertrain, different models also have different tuning styles - the Audi A3L will drive briskly overall, with good power output if you tap the accelerator lightly, making this car very flexible for urban commuting. , this style is very pleasing.
Passat 2023
Official guide price: 181,900-252,900 yuan
If you don’t know what car to buy for 200,000 yuan, then Passat is definitely the right choice. This model has been working hard in China for many years, and it can be said that it is hard currency wherever it goes - whether in first-tier cities or fifth-tier cities. The recognition of Passat in cities is very high. Just last November, Passat updated the 2023 model. Let's take a look at the changes and overall product strength of the 2023 model.
In terms of styling, the Passat 2023 model still offers two sets of appearance design languages. In addition to the classic version, there is also a starry sky version designed for young users, which lacks some business flavor and looks more advanced and sophisticated. Fashionable atmosphere.
The front grille of the classic version is still the Volkswagen family-style horizontal chrome grille design. The application of a large number of chrome-plated parts also highlights the luxury and class of the vehicle. This version feels relatively calm. Can conform to most people's aesthetics.
The front grille of the Starry Sky Edition adopts a dot-matrix grille design, the lower surround is also simpler and more elegant, and the overall shape is more fashionable and avant-garde. If you are a young person, you may be more willing to choose this version.
LED automatic headlights are standard for all series, and high-end models are upgraded to IQ.Light matrix headlights. The lights on both sides are sharp and long, connected by a through-type chrome trim strip in the middle, which is a bit like a through-type headlight. lamp, designIt’s very clever, and it’s highly recognizable when lit up in the dark.
The overall shape of the side of the car body is not much different from that of the current model. It is still a straight and smooth body design, highlighting the beauty of the lines of a mid-size car. The body's waistline is sharp and slender, and the A/B/C pillars are decorated with chrome, making it look refined and classy. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the 2023 Passat are still 4948mmx1836mmx1469mm, and the wheelbase of the standard version and the star version are both 2871mm.
In fact, the Passat with black paint has a strong administrative flavor on the side. If you choose white or glacier blue paint, it will look more at home.
The rear of the car is basically unchanged compared to the current model. The overall shape is full and the design has a sense of hierarchy. The through-type taillights echo the headlights. The Passat letter logo is inlaid on the light group, further enhancing the vehicle's sense of class. In addition, the rear enclosure of the vehicle also appears relatively stable. Looking at the rear, we find that there are many horizontal lines and a clear sense of layering.
In terms of interior, the 2023 Passat also continues the design style of the current model. The large-size LCD instrument and touch central control screen highlight the simple and technological style. The interior colors are only black and black brown, both of which are relatively calm. I imagine that if light-colored interiors can be added, the sense of class will be improved a lot. The center console is slightly tilted, giving the driver a better view of the center control screen and making it easier to operate.
Volkswagen’s three-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and the hand grip area is also perforated. The multi-function buttons are touch-operated, and the grip is not picky, but I personally don’t like the touch buttons. Reserve your opinion, after all, it was previously reported that Volkswagen will restore physical buttons on the steering wheel, which can effectively reduce the probability of accidental touches.
In terms of screens, except for the business version, all other versions are equipped with a 10.2-inch digital LCD instrument. The standard 8.0-inch central control screen has also been upgraded to 9.2 inches on mid-to-high-end models. The top-end models also have a HUD head-up display.
Both cars and machines are equipped with MOS smart car connection system, which supports 4G, WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth/car phone, original interconnection/mapping, CarLife/CarPlay (except business version) and other functions. The luxury version and above also have IQ .The smart car connection system can provide richer mobile online services by binding with smart terminals such as mobile phones to view the real-time status of the vehicle, search related charging services, inquire and make appointments for vehicle maintenance, etc.
In terms of power, there is no change in the 2023 Passat model. It still provides three power nameplates: 280TSI/330TSI/380TSI.The corresponding ones are the 1.4TSI engine and the 2.0TSI engine with medium and high power adjustment.
Among them, the 2800TSI engine has a maximum power of 110kW (150Ps) and a peak torque of 250N·m, and is matched with a 7-speed DSG dry dual-clutch gearbox; the 330TSI engine has a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 320N·m, and the 380TSI engine has a maximum power of 162kW (220Ps ), maximum torque 350N·m. The 2.0T models are all equipped with a 7-speed DSG wet dual-clutch gearbox, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the entire series is 5.8-6.7L/100km.
In terms of chassis, it still uses front MacPherson + rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension system, which is also the mainstream structure of this level of models.
Full text summary: The three cars recommended today include self-owned brands, joint venture brands and luxury brands. They can meet daily needs in terms of space and size. More importantly, the driving experience of the three cars is what I think is the same level. Among the more outstanding ones. In addition, the prices of the three cars have certain advantages compared to competitors, which also means that you can buy more configurations at the same price, and the price-performance ratio is outstanding. Which of the three cars do you prefer? Let’s chat in the comment section.
