At the Chengdu Auto Show, Volkswagen launched a new model of the T-Roc, called the T-Roc Youth Edition. This model is smaller and cheaper than the regular T-Roc. Its goal is clear: to compete in the compact joint venture market against the Geely Boyue and Nissan Qashqai. So, how does the T-Roc Youth Edition perform? Compared to the Geely Boyue and Nissan Qashqai, which one is more worth buying?
Cost-performance comparison: Tuyue is lower, sincerity is higher. The official starting price of Fenglanda is 125,800 yuan (17660$). The starting price of X-Trail and Tuyue is 125,900 yuan (17680$), just 100 yuan (10$) more. All three cars are similar in price. However, at the market end, the base price of Fenglanda is around 100,000 yuan (14040$). The base price of X-Trail is slightly lower, around 95,000 yuan (13340$).
The Tuyu new model just launched. The official price is a limited-time offer. It starts at only 79,900 yuan (11220$), under 80,000. This price is over 20,000 lower than the other two cars. It has the lowest price among the three. Comparing the lowest configurations of the three cars shows:
The Tuo Yue Xin Rui entry-level version has solid features. It includes a rearview camera, cruise control, LED headlights, and four speakers. These cover most daily driving needs. It even offers more practical features than the Feng Land and Xiao Ke Classic. Despite a price that is over 20,000 lower, the Tuo Yue Xin Rui maintains its basic configuration. Among these three cars, the Tuo Yue Xin Rui offers the best value. For consumers seeking an entry-level joint venture SUV, the Tuo Yue Xin Rui is worth a closer look. Now, let’s compare the space and comfort of the three vehicles. The Xiao Ke excels in this area.
The Fenglanda has the longest length. The X-Trail has the widest body, the tallest height, and the longest wheelbase. The Tuyue Xinjun has the smallest dimensions. Theoretically, the Nissan X-Trail offers the best space. However, the size differences among these three vehicles are minimal. Therefore, the actual space performance will not vary much.
Interior of the Fenglanda We compare three models with similar prices. Each model has different configurations and power systems. We focus on their comfort features.
All three cars offer similar comfort features, but they focus on different aspects. The Fenglanda has a better driving assistance system. It includes a lane centering function, making highway driving easier. However, its overall performance is average. The Qashqai excels in smart features. It has more functions in its voice control system. It supports voice control for windows and sunroofs. It also includes voice activation without wake words and voiceprint recognition. The smart experience in the Qashqai stands out among the three cars.
Interior of the X-Trail The Tuguo Xinyi offers balanced performance. It features front and rear radars for safer reversing. It includes a voice control system, but it does not support voice control for the sunroof or windows. The driver and passenger seats lack electric adjustment, but the front seats have heating functions.
Tuyue Xinyu Interior The Tuyue Xinyu offers higher overall features. It includes wireless phone charging and a 12V power supply in the trunk, which other two cars lack. This enhances its usability. In terms of space comfort, the Nissan Qashqai excels. It provides the most space and a better smart experience. Although the Tuyue Xinyu has balanced comfort features, the overall comfort experience favors the Nissan Qashqai. Powertrain Comparison: The Fenglanda offers more options. Now, let’s look at the power systems. All three cars have rich power systems. They mainly fall into two categories. Both the Tuyue Xinyu and Qashqai have two fuel power systems. The Fenglanda features a fuel power system and a hybrid system. Specifically, the Qashqai has a 1.3T and a 2.0L engine. The 1.3T engine delivers the most power, reaching 116kW. The Tuyue Xinyu has a new 1.5L and a 1.5T engine. The 1.5T engine produces a maximum power of 118kW, slightly stronger than the Qashqai’s 1.3T engine.
The fuel version of the Fenglanda features a 2.0L engine. It delivers a maximum power of 126 kW, the highest among the three vehicles. It also offers a 2.0L hybrid version. This version achieves a total system power of 144 kW. The official data does not provide the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration figures, but it should have the best performance of the three vehicles.
Volkswagen models usually require 95-octane fuel. However, the Tuyue Xinxin only needs 92-octane fuel for both its 1.5L and 1.5T engines. This matches the requirements of the Fenglanda and the Xiaqie. For fuel versions, the official fuel consumption for the Tuyue Xinxin’s 1.5T model is just 5.7L per 100 km. This is the lowest among the three vehicles. Previously, Tianyajun measured the fuel consumption of the Tuyue Xinxin at only 5.37L per 100 km. This is even lower than the official figure of 5.7L. It is indeed very fuel-efficient.
In terms of power performance, the Fenglanda offers the richest power system. The Tuyue Xinhui provides the best fuel efficiency. Summary Among these three vehicles, the X-Trail excels in space practicality. The Fenglanda, with its hybrid version, also provides strong power performance. However, the Tuyue Xinhui stands out with a limited-time price of only 79,900 yuan (11220$). It offers good comfort features and the lowest fuel consumption among gasoline versions. Overall, it delivers higher value, making it more suitable for families seeking an entry-level joint venture SUV.
