This time, [An Chen Chat] will talk about two popular cars on the market. The first one is Changan Ford Sharp L and Volkswagen Touran. Then let’s talk about Sharp L and Volkswagen Touran. Who has a better chance of winning? After the listing of Sharp L, it is divided into the fuel version and the hybrid version. Today, it is the hybrid version of the top-of-the-line model 2023 Sharp L 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid four-wheel drive seven-seat STLine, with a guide price of 305,900.

The front face of the new Touran is heavy, and the front air intake grille is composed of three horizontal and eight vertical lanes. Touran is positioned as a medium and large 7-seat SUV. The front grille of the new car is matched with two thick chrome-plated strips, and combined with the square and large-sized headlight group, the visual width is extended. Today’s photo is the 2023 modified 380TSI four-wheel drive respected deluxe edition guide price of 341,500.

Ford Sharp L is more sporty and fashionable in appearance design, with strong visual impact, while Volkswagen Touring is slightly moderate. It depends on personal preference and cannot be generalized. The front face adopts bold air intake grille and sharp headlight design, creating a dynamic and domineering image. The body lines are smooth and the overall shape is fashionable, showing the luxury and sporty style. Ford Sharp L has adopted a brand-new design language, the front blackened matrix air intake grille has been changed to a closed design, and the fashionable penetrating light strip has been added on the upper side, which is integrated with the front LED headlights embedded at both ends. The front enclosure is angular, and the W-shaped decorative board running through the diversion grooves at both ends is very eye-catching.

Volkswagen Tourang, on the other hand, pays more attention to the simple and steady appearance design, with smooth lines and coordinated body proportions, giving people a sense of stability without losing fashion.

In terms of headlights, the entry-level two-wheel drive comfort version has the functions of LED far and near light, LED daytime running light, automatic headlights and headlight delay turn-off. The two-wheel drive luxury version adds the steering auxiliary lighting function to this function, which can help reduce the blind spot of sight at night. It is still a very practical configuration.

Sharp L has a smooth inverted L-shaped chrome trim on the side of the car body and the upper side of the window to enhance the exquisiteness of the side face. The blackened design is added to the lower side of the window and the side skirt, which is very dynamic. The door handle is replaced by a hidden design, which is more concise and can reduce some wind resistance coefficients. The brand-new 21-inch color matching five-spoke sports hub is very cool. The new sharp world is 5000mm/1961mm/1773mm, and the wheelbase has been lengthened to 2950 mm. This size has reached the standard of medium and large SUVs. It is precisely because of this wheelbase length that the new sharp world has the ability to improve the riding experience of the third row for users.

On the other hand, Volkswagen Touran has solid side lines, and the square wheel arch and the deep waist on the door make its side look strong. The body size of the new Touran is 5052mm/1989mm/1773mm, and the wheelbase is the same as 2980 mm.

In the interior, Ford Sharp L pays attention to luxury and comfort, and adopts high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship to create a warm and luxurious driving environment. At the same time, Ford Sharp L is also equipped with rich technology configurations, such as a large-size 2.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 27-inch penetrating central control giant screen to form a touch screen, an intelligent interconnection system and an advanced driver assistance system, which enhances driving pleasure and convenience. The air outlet of the air conditioner at the lower side adopts a hidden design, and the outer side is decorated with metal decorative strips, which is very delicate. This car is also equipped with E- hybrid technology+real mechanical four-wheel drive system, which is also excellent in fuel economy. If you are very concerned about the driving experience of vehicles, Sharp L also provides you with a variety of driving modes to choose from, namely sports, economy, standard, comfort, snow and mud.

The whole interior design of Volkswagen Tourang has a strong family style. The simple and fashionable center console adopts a large area of soft material coverage and is designed with a silver chrome-plated decorative board. Volkswagen Tourang’s interior design pays more attention to simplicity and practicality, with comfortable and humanized layout, providing spacious seating space and sufficient storage space to meet the needs of family travel. The quality is ok, the design of embedded LCD screen and semi-LCD instrument panel exudes a strong sense of technology in the car, and the leather seats enhance the ride comfort. The trinity virtual display system consisting of 10.2-inch full LCD digital instrument and 12-inch multi-touch LCD central control panel integrates more functions, making vehicle information clear and readable, and adding a sense of science fiction to the cockpit.

The seat of Sharp L is also made of very advanced leather, and the seat wrapping is also very good, so you won’t feel any fatigue after a long-distance ride. If you take the seat with zero gravity once, you will like it, so if you want to buy a home SUV, I suggest you choose Sharp L.

The front seat of this car can also give us enough support, and its second seat also supports front and rear adjustment, so that the third row passengers can have a more comfortable sitting position.

The car is covered with a large area of soft material, and the texture is very outstanding.

In terms of space, the legroom of Sharp L is also very good, and its legroom is spacious enough, even if it is 180 cm tall, it is easy to adjust the seat to a suitable position.

The combination of the right-side tilting of the third row of seats and the right-side tilting of the second row of seats in Volkswagen Touran can obtain a "long and narrow" storage space, which will be more advantageous when placing some long-sized objects.

The second row of space is neck and neck with Sharp L, but the seat adopts 232 layout, and there are no aviation seats and pushers, which is enough to prove that Sharp L is better in terms of comfort and luxury.

In terms of power, the Ford Sharp L fuel version will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 185kW, and the transmission is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission; Ford Sharp L Hybrid Edition will be equipped with a 2.0T engine+motor hybrid system. The maximum power of the engine is 202kW, the maximum torque is 405N·m, the acceleration time is only 7.1s, the comprehensive fuel consumption of WLTC is 6.31L/100km, and the transmission is matched with the E-CVT continuously variable gearbox. The performance of the engine and gearbox of Sharp L is excellent. While ensuring the power output, this car can also take into account the fuel economy. Hybrid version, a box of oil can run 1188 kilometers, which is impossible for all models at present. If you don’t believe it, you can challenge it!

If you are very concerned about the driving experience of vehicles, Sharp L also provides you with a variety of driving modes to choose from, namely sports, economy, standard, comfort, snow and mud. This is very important to the quality of suspension, so Sharp L is equipped with the suspension combination of front McPherson and rear multi-link, and the overall adjustment is in line with the needs of our family users. The comfortable suspension has a good steady performance, good vibration filtering effect and does not float at high speed. And most of the fine vibration can be isolated outside the car and a certain amount can be reserved for the driver.

Touran is equipped with a 2.0T 186 horsepower L4 engine with a displacement of 2.0L, a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 320N•m. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

The front suspension type of Volkswagen Touran is McPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is multi-link independent suspension. The disadvantage is that the suspension of the car is a little hard, and it has a strong sense of vibration when passing through the speed bump.

Generally speaking, Ford Sharp L and Volkswagen Touran are the best in luxury medium and large SUVs, and Sharp L has excellent performance in power, control and interior. The Volkswagen Touran feels a little like a small horse-drawn cart. If you have a budget of 400,000 yuan, will you choose the V6 version of Touran? Which one to choose depends on personal preferences and needs. In terms of dynamic response, Ford Sharp L is more outstanding, and its fuel consumption performance is better than that of Volkswagen Touran. In terms of space, Sharp L is also among the best in the same level, and in terms of interior space, Sharp L is also in place, and both front and rear spaces can meet our daily needs. Through comparison in all aspects, it can be seen that the comprehensive strength of Ford Sharp L, which has been comprehensively innovated, has been improved obviously, and it has no small advantages over Touran in terms of texture, sense of science and technology, space and power. Therefore, the stronger Ford Sharp L wins the Volkswagen Touran! ! !
