Electric Technology Car News: Are Korean cars no longer popular? Comparing the Roewe RX5 and Hyundai Tucson, the rumor is true

Recently, there has been a popular saying that "Korean cars have become victims of domestic brands". It has to be said that Korean cars are very good at making cars. With Hyundai and its younger brother Kia, they have established a foothold in China. From the Elantra running all over the streets, we can see how popular it is among domestic consumers. The reason is that compared with German, Japanese, and American cars, Korean cars of the same price have better configurations and their appearance is more popular with Chinese people.

However, I don't know since when, Korean cars, which have always been unstoppable in the domestic market, suddenly lost their momentum. The main reason is of course the rise of domestic brands, which made it increasingly difficult for Korean cars that relied solely on appearance and configuration in the past to survive! In terms of appearance, today's domestic brands are much more beautiful than many joint venture cars in terms of appearance, and in terms of configuration, the 100,000 yuan car of the domestic brand dares to be stuffed into the 200,000 yuan configuration of the joint venture car. Under such competition, the glory of Korean cars will fade sooner or later. Can today's domestic cars PK Korean cars? Today we will compare the recently very popular Internet car, Roewe RX5, with Hyundai's most popular model, the new Tucson, to see whether the rumors are true or false. SAIC Roewe, the brand, I believe many people are familiar with it. As early as 2006, Roewe released a mid-to-high-end sedan, Roewe 760, which was considered a brand that had laid out the market relatively early. However, Roewe has been tepid in the following years. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the rise of domestic cars, Roewe has released its first Internet car-RX5.

The RX5, which entered the top 8 SUV sales within 3 months of its launch, can be described as a "popular online model". On the other hand, the Hyundai Tucson is also a very classic model. It has a huge market share and has been able to stand firm in China for many years. Its strength can be imagined.

In terms of exterior design, both cars adopt double waistline design, which is very dynamic. In comparison, the waistline of Roewe RX5 is sharper. In terms of front face design, Roewe RX5 is more majestic, with a lot of bright chrome plating, giving people a very delicate feeling. Tucson adopts a unique matte design, which is low-key and textured. In contrast, each car has its own characteristics, and domestic models are not inferior.

The two cars also have different concepts in the rear design. The Roewe RX5 has a clear sense of hierarchy, and the chrome trim strip running through the rear of the car is very classy. It can be seen that the rear is as carefully designed as the front. The Tucson is more rounded and simple, and the body looks much shorter and fatter. In addition, the taillights of both cars are LED light sources.

In terms of overall body size, the Roewe RX5 wins in all aspects, with a length of 70mm longer than the Tucson and a wheelbase of 30mm longer. Both use two-color wheels, and the size is also 18 inches. The difference is that the RX5 uses a polishing process, which is more textured, and the tread is wider and more stable.

In terms of interior space, the front row space of the two cars is the same, but the rear row space of the Roewe RX5 is better. In addition, both cars are equipped with panoramic sunroofs, which are very important to consumers. The trunk space of the Roewe RX5 is better, and it is no problem to carry some large items behind the seats.

In terms of interior style, the use of bright decorative strips and leather in the Roewe RX5 enhances the overall texture. The 10.4-inch large-size touch screen is very eye-catching and full of technology. In comparison, the 8-inch screen of the Tucson is less technological. After all, the name of the Internet car is not for nothing. In addition, the Roewe RX5 is also equipped with shift paddles, which adds a sporty feel.

In terms of power, the Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 2.0T engine and a 6-speed dual-clutch, while the Tucson is equipped with a 1.6T engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch. In terms of parameters, the Roewe is better. In terms of chassis structure, both use a front McPherson and rear multi-link suspension design. In addition, the Roewe RX5 is equipped with timely four-wheel drive, while the Tucson is equipped with four-wheel drive only when it is priced above 210,000 yuan.

Finally, let's talk about the configuration of the whole car. In addition to the in-car air conditioning function compared to the Roewe RX5, the Hyundai Tucson does not have many other configurations such as front radar, sensor wipers, window anti-pinch, etc., or only the top configuration has them. It seems that Korean cars that use configuration as a selling point have nothing to play with when they meet domestic cars.

In general, the Roewe RX5 is a good example of the high cost-performance of Chinese cars. Chinese cars currently have a clear advantage over Korean brands, which are known for their configurations. However, the technology and experience accumulated by joint ventures over the years should not be underestimated. However, judging from the current momentum, it is only a matter of time before Chinese cars surpass Korean cars.
