The car market in July can be described as wonderful. The listed new cars are Golf R, Scirocco R, Dongfeng Peugeot 508, and New Maarten. These new cars listed are not on the same platform, but are the same platform as the models listed recently. Their relationship It is just like twin sisters, which makes us think of the “beggar” of “benevolence and health.” What is the positioning of these car markets and what is their market competitiveness? Xiaobian will analyze it with everyone.

Twin sister's flowers: Golf R, Scirocco R

Golf R

Selling price: 3980------405,000

The identity of golf R is obvious. Whether it is the real increase of the air intake on the front bumper or the chrome exhaust pipe of the middle home, it can make people recognize the difference of golf R at a glance.

The length, width and height of Golf R are respectively 4212×1786×1461mm and the wheelbase is 2578mm. Since the height is only 1461mm, the minimum ground clearance of golf R is also reduced to 132mm, so the car body looks lower and more dynamic. Do not lose the body size of the same class car also ensures the daily practicality of Golf R.


The sporty steering wheel is not much different from the GTI. The red stitches have been removed, and the hollow metal below has become a striking “R”. The left and right sides of the steering wheel are equipped with conventional multimedia control buttons, behind which are hidden shift paddles that are within your reach.

Scirocco R

Selling price: 408,000

The length, width, and height of the Scirocco R are 4248×1820×1394mm respectively. Compared with the original Scirocco, the Scirocco R has reduced the 15mm suspension system. Although the wheelbase is the same as Golf R, it is 2578mm. However, the wider car body and lower body of the Scirocco R enhances the sports car's taste.

The Scirocco R has a three-door hatchback design and the side double doors are particularly slender. The top line slides straight from the A-pillar to the highest point. The side door lines are very secretive, allowing the lines of the vehicle to look more elegant and stylish, all of which highlight the elements of dynamic personality.

The Scirocco R adopts a frameless two-door design. In addition to looking even more dazzling, the opening and closing angles of the doors are large, and the occupants' access is also very convenient. The interior style workmanship is not very different from the golf R, and the chrome-plated interior trim board logo abounds. The shape of the handle inside the door is very individual, and the grip is not bad. The design of the triangle makes it easier to open or pull the door.

Editor's summary: Although the two models of the Golf R and the Monsoon Cool R will make every lover who loves quick-freezing and passionate riders uncomfortable in terms of dynamic performance, it is not difficult to see the difference between the two in appearance and interior. Different positioning, Scirocco R is less than the internal configuration of Golf R, such as the exposed cup holder, the audio port is not rich, etc. We can see that Golf R is more suitable than Scirocco R. Although the wheelbase is the same, the Scirocco is wider than the golf ball and the stability will be even better. In addition, the still-cool R model still uses the coupe style. The tilted C-pillars, low body and low head are quite aggressive. Therefore, the still-cooled crowd prefers to be more stimulating, dynamic, and more stylish. They are more concerned with their own feelings. The golf R positioning crowd is a more pragmatic, low-key crowd, who will find a more mature side in their body.

Twin sister's flower: Dongfeng Peugeot 508, C5

Dongfeng Peugeot 508

Price: 169,700-22,700


508 has all the configuration of mid-to-high-class cars, it has a positive and negative seat memory adjustment function while the rear occupants can also use buttons to actively adjust the front and rear position of the auxiliary seat to get a better rear leg space. It is also worth mentioning that the Info-Drive integrated control system first appeared on the 508, raising the entertainment control on the Peugeot to BMW's i-Drive level. In addition, the 508 is equipped with a unique VTH color head-up display, which displays the speed, cruise control, and navigation functions on top of each other, so that there is no risk of sight loss.



In terms of powertrain, the Peugeot 508 is equipped with a 2.3-liter natural-intake engine, with a maximum power of 126 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, matching a 6-speed manual gearbox. Of course, the Dongfeng Peugeot 508 also has a low-emission option, equipped with a 2.0-liter natural-intake engine with a maximum power of 108 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 200 Nm.

Dongfeng Citroen C5

This inline four-cylinder VTCS (variable phase valve timing system) engine has a maximum power of 108kw/6000rpm and a maximum torque of 200Nm/4000rpm. Dongfeng Citroen C5 equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission with a tiptronic, it will make the C5's fuel consumption reduce actively, so that under the soaring oil price, such a transmission will be lovable.



The third generation of active hydraulic suspension technology used on the C5 is the biggest highlight of the C5. It adopts a multi-link independent suspension structure after the former McPherson independent suspension. Such a special suspension system, especially the rear suspension structure is unique in the same class, very similar to the sports car form. With good tuning, the tail is very flexible when C5 is cornering, and the side is not large. However, the Citroen engineers used C5 to use this complex rear suspension, compromised some of the C5's rear compartment space, which is a little regrettable. The C5 is indeed a master in the same class who can not take into account both the chassis filter and the cornering roll.

Editor's summary: As Dragon Dragon's brother brother, its similar platform, making Citroen C5 and Peugeot 508 in the vehicle power, chassis, space, configuration, etc. are not very different, inevitably will be compared when consumers buy .

Dongfeng Peugeot 508 is more inclined to business models, its appearance is more atmospheric, stable, more emphasis on comfort, which is the second row of comfort. The C5 is more concerned with the details of the treatment, the body a little more smart feeling, it can be said that the choice of C5's friends more "love yourself."

Twin sister's flowers: New Magotan, New Passat Magotan Price: 200,000



The new Magotan has a length, width and height of 4865mm/1820mm/1475mm. Its length is 100mm longer than the current Magotan, and its height is reduced by 3mm.

Magotan uses the front McPherson suspension and the rear four-link independent suspension system; we know that Volkswagen's four-link independent suspension consists of three swing arms (hem/spring arm, tie rod, upper swing arm) and a portrait The trailing arm is composed of a tie rod for each wheel, so it can independently distinguish between longitudinal and lateral power transmission. In cooperation with the front suspension, the MAGOTAN B7L has good stability and driving comfort.

The new Passat price: 21.88 million - 31.08 million


The entire new generation of Passat was jointly developed by Shanghai Volkswagen and Germany Volkswagen. From the perspective of appearance, it has gradually approached the flagship model Phaeton, giving people a mature and stable texture, which is what business people need. The guzzler's big mouth image is no longer the return of the chrome bar design, it still looks so simple and classic, the side of the body, a familiar waist line runs through the window from the front to the rear, stable and hierarchical.


The length and height of the new Passat are respectively 4870/1834/1472mm, and the wheelbase is 2803mm, which is exactly the same as the new Passat new collar. This body parameter naturally guarantees a good ride space. After opening the trunk, the trunk volume reaches 490L.

For transmission, all models will be fitted with a 7-speed DSG dual clutch gearbox.

Editor's summary: The new Passat is derived from Volkswagen's "New Baseline Midsize Sedan (NMS)" platform, while the new Magotan is the original Passat B7 prototype from Germany. Although the two are very similar in appearance and almost indistinguishable from each other, there are many differences in terms of design concepts, market positioning, and configuration equipment.

The new Passat models introduced for the world are models for the China-US market. They emphasize the dynamics and give people more youthful energy. The new magotan's new technology is more abundant. The new magotan's details pay more attention to its own feeling of stability and comfort.
