All along, Japan's Mitsubishi LANCEREvolution and Panther WRX have made Chinese people know more about them by virtue of their excellent power and handling, as well as their outstanding performance in the World Rally Championship. These two cars are also the first to enter the domestic high-performance car market and occupy this market for a long time. At this time, we can't help but ask: Why don't European cars, which are good at handling and power, move? Volkswagen, the first to enter China, was the first to wake up, and recently launched a 30-year golf GTI in China.
In this way, the domestic high-performance car market has formed a "three-legged" situation. We might as well put these three cars together to make a detailed comparison and see what the final result of this "war" will be. First, let's look at the key dynamic performance!
The engine technology content of the three cars is relatively high, and manufacturers also hope to show the latest technology and the highest manufacturing level to everyone through the most critical part of this car. At the same time, all three cars adopt "turbine" technology. We don't need to elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of turbine technology. Let's take a look at their respective technical highlights.
GTI's FSI gasoline direct injection engine can inject fuel in layers according to working conditions. Basically, two operation modes can be automatically selected: low load lean combustion. Generally speaking, it is to get the maximum power with the least oil. Homogeneous combustion at high load. While obtaining high output and high torque, the fuel consumption is very low.
Subaru impreza WRX adopts horizontally opposed engine, which is a well-balanced engine. Its pistons are evenly distributed on both sides of the crankshaft and move left and right in the horizontal direction, which is different from the up-and-down movement of ordinary in-line engine pistons, or V-shaped cylinders arrange the engine pistons to move at a certain angle. This design greatly reduces the overall height of horizontally opposed engine, and the direct benefits brought by the shortened length are lower center of gravity, more uniform counterweight and better driving stability.
Of the three cars, only the Golf GTI is equipped with an automatic transmission. In our impression, in order to give full play to the powerful power of the engine, manufacturers usually equip the traditional mechanical manual gearbox. However, Golf GTI's DSG dual clutch automatic transmission combines the advantages of manual transmission and automatic transmission. This kind of transmission is essentially different from the traditional automatic transmission, and there is no hydraulic torque converter.
The outstanding feature is the wet double clutch system controlled by hydraulic pressure. The clutch controls odd gears and reverse gears, and the clutch is responsible for even gears. When shifting gears, one clutch is engaged and the other clutch is engaged. That is to say, there is almost no influence on traction when shifting gears, and the overall performance is close to and exceeds that of manual gears to a certain extent, and there is no shift impact phenomenon existing in traditional automatic gears. 0 ~ 0~ 100km acceleration time is only 6.9 seconds! The impreza WRX adopts a 5-speed manual gearbox. Compared with the 6-speed gearbox of Mitsubishi EVOIX, it limits the output of the engine to a certain extent, and the fuel economy is also affected.
Of the three cars, only the Golf GTI is front-wheel drive. Compared with the full-time four-wheel drive mode of the other two cars, it has the disadvantage of insufficient steering, which affects the driving stability to some extent. The suspension systems of the three cars are similar in design, and Mitsubishi EVOIX adopts the famous BREMBO braking system, which has excellent braking performance. Golf GTI is driven by the front wheel, and the load on the rear wheel is small, so it is reasonable not to use the disc brake system with internal ventilation. We are concerned with the data of 0 ~ 100 km/h acceleration time. Only golf GTI can give you the answer, and the manufacturers of the other two cars don't provide it, so we can't make an intuitive comparison here, I believe it should be evenly matched.
From the above table, we can clearly see that the Golf GTI is superior to the other two cars in terms of safety equipment. Golf GTI comes standard with four airbags and two air curtains, rainfall sensor, tire pressure monitoring system and abundant electronic safety equipment. In addition, the super-strong body allows you to get the maximum safety while driving selflessly.
The safety equipment of the impreza WRX is also very rich. Its full-time four-wheel drive system and symmetrically designed engine can keep the vehicle close to the road like four wheels in any road conditions. Mitsubishi EVOIX relies more on unique patented mechanical safety equipment to ensure safety. Its SuperAYC (Active Yaw Control) ++ACD (Active Central Differential) integrated braking system can further ensure the stability of full-time four-wheel drive vehicles and the safety of cornering. Both Golf GTI and Panther WRX are equipped with xenon headlights as standard, while Mitsubishi EVOIX is still a traditional halogen headlight.
In terms of comfort configuration, golf GTI is more abundant than the other two cars. Driver's 8-way electric adjustable seat, dual-zone automatic air conditioning rear air outlet, comparable to ordinary luxury cars. The configuration of impreza WRX is also rich enough to meet the needs of most consumers, and its unique front wiper deicing device is particularly important in the cold winter in the north.
In contrast, the configuration of Mitsubishi EVOIX is much less. Not only is there no skylight, but it is also a manually controlled air conditioner. The most unacceptable thing is that more than 400,000 cars are not equipped with a sound system. Can friends who drive this performance car accept this reality?
In contrast, the GTI configuration of golf is luxurious, and the FSI engine and DSG transmission are a highlight. Suitable for buyers who like the solid driving sense of German cars and have high requirements for vehicle configuration.
Although the price of the impreza WRX is lower than that of the other two cars, its configuration is relatively high. Horizontally opposed engine and fully symmetrical full-time four-wheel drive system make the impreza WRX very cost-effective.
Mitsubishi EVOIX has the strongest power, and its unique patented mechanical safety equipment is also a big selling point. However, the vehicle configuration is not high, and the ride comfort and sound insulation effect are not ideal, which is closer to the feeling of racing car. In addition, the use of a large number of modified spare parts by famous factories makes the price of the whole vehicle high, which is only suitable for buyers who pursue the ultimate performance and original driving experience. /2006 1 106/n 2462 19863 . shtml
