Both price and brand are important when it comes to the car market. With the influx of joint venture brands, we may find that the previously unreachable SUV dream can now be achieved for under 100,000 yuan (13850$), with a variety of models to choose from. Kia Stonic As a newly launched entry-level SUV, Kia Stonic’s pricing is quite competitive. The 2024 1.5L Comfort version has an official price of 91,900 yuan (12730$), while the 2024 1.5L Luxury Smart version sells for 100,900 yuan (13980$). Don’t rush, there are discounts for new car launches, with prices dropping to 88,900 yuan (12310$) and 97,900 yuan (13560$) respectively.
Although Kia Stonic’s starting price is less than 90,000 yuan (12470$), it is practical. Even the base model comes with LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, electric sunroof, automatic air conditioning, leather seats, and more. It is worth noting that the Kia Stonic has a minimum ground clearance of 181 millimeters, making it suitable for young people to enjoy light off-road environments.
Kia Sorento can be equipped with intelligent driving assistance system to meet users’ needs for smart technology. In short, it’s all about value for money. Nissan Kicks For 88,900 yuan (12310$), you can get not only Kia Sorento, but also Nissan Kicks. Surprisingly, Nissan Kicks is slightly longer than Kia Sorento. However, in terms of practicality, Kia Sorento should be much better. The basic version of Nissan Kicks is really basic, with almost nothing except the wheels turning. So it’s recommended for users with slightly higher requirements to spend an extra ten thousand yuan!
For just 10,000 yuan (1390$), you can get features like electric sunroof, leather steering wheel, leather interior, AVM panoramic intelligent monitoring, ITC intelligent tracking control, IRC intelligent stability control, iEB intelligent engine braking, cruise control, 8-inch central control screen, and Nissan Connect super smart link 2.0 behind the screen, just choose the basic version. Jetta VS5 With German faith and affordable prices of domestic brands, the new Jetta VS5 is updated every year, but in the era of new energy vehicles, Jetta really can’t keep up with the times! Luckily, it’s cheap, starting at 87,900 yuan (12180$), which is two thousand cheaper than the Yaris and Nissan Juke. But you can get the Volkswagen EA211 inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which is quite generous.
The base model only comes with a five-speed manual transmission, not very user-friendly for young people. For young users, MYAUTO recommends the 9.89 million yuan automatic pioneer edition, although the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is a bit slow, the handling is simple. MG ONE You may not consider MG as a joint venture brand, but they do have their roots in Europe. As one of the fastest growing brands in the European market, SAIC MG’s growth in Europe last year was just slightly behind Tesla. The MG4 compact electric car launched by the brand last year was very popular in Europe. However, if we are looking for an affordable car, it has to be the MG ONE, with an official starting price of 8.78 million yuan, which is more generous than the Jetta VS5.
MG ONE offers a 1.5T high-power “Chinese Heart” top ten engine, with power parameters of 133 kW/285 Nm, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.1 seconds when matched with a CVT gearbox. Even the base model comes with full LED lights, leather interior, dual 12.3-inch screens, keyless start, high-fidelity Hi-Fi sound system, digital sound effects, panoramic sunroof, 360° panoramic imaging + transparent chassis, and more, making it unbeatable in terms of value for money. Nissan Terra Although its official price has reached 99,800 yuan (13820$), making it the most expensive model among these few models, it excels in spaciousness! The three-dimensional dimensions of the Nissan Terra are 4562/1917/1625 mm, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm, making it capable of running the entire field.
The reason why the price of the Qichen DaV is set so low is because the Qichen brand has a low presence in the domestic market. Known as a downgraded version of Nissan, others think it is from a shady background. Let’s not talk about sales for now, but in terms of the car itself, the Qichen DaV 260T New Star Edition Pro is harder to remember than Nezha. Another thing that seems absurd is that the base model comes with 17-inch wheels, making the body height 8mm lower than other models. In terms of features, the Qichen DaV still offers a 22-inch integrated screen, leather seats, reverse camera, and more. Although there is almost no smart technology, the active safety features are quite comprehensive. Overall, the base model of the Qichen DaV is not actually that low. Kia Stonic: fashionable and rich in features, suitable for light off-road play. Nissan Kicks: classic SUV, economical and practical, suitable for city commuting and family trips. Jetta VS5: powerful, stable handling, mature technology for family SUV. MG ONE: high-quality trendy SUV with hardcore immersive cockpit and advanced future technology. Qichen DaV: young and fashionable, powerful, providing spacious and comfortable space and rich features.
