Among the joint venture compact SUV models, X-Trail, as one of the top three Japanese manufacturers, has always been favored by consumers with its excellent power performance and driving experience. However, when we buy a vehicle, we are often faced with multiple choices, and different models have their own advantages and characteristics. Today, based on a budget of 200,000 yuan, we will compare the three popular SUVs of X-Trail, Honda CR-V and Toyota R**4 to find the most worry-free option.
In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the differences between these three cars, I went to the 4S store for a test drive and experienced the performance of the X-Trail, CR-V, and R**4 in terms of performance and configuration. Next, we will work together to ** the true strength of these three "popular players".
*On the top-of-the-line version, for example, the super-hybrid X-Trail and the R**4 Rongfang fuel version are close, with a landing price of about 220,000 yuan, and the CR-V fuel version is slightly higher, about 240,000 yuanHowever, the hybrid versions of the R**4 and CR-V are significantly higher, both around 260,000, which is 40,000 higher than the super-hybrid X-Trail. For a more targeted comparison, I chose three similar cars, the super-hybrid electric X-Trail top-of-the-line four-wheel drive extreme version, the CR-V fuel version top-four-wheel drive premium version, and the R**4 Rongfang fuel version top-four-wheel drive adventure flagship version.
The X-Trail is a super-hybrid electric drive.

The driving control has its own characteristics, and the super-hybrid electric drive X-Trail is stronger and more stable in control
Thanks to the second-generation e-power system, the X-Trail is as stable and not procrastinating as a pure electric vehicle. The feeling of this car when driving is very sedate. Its power output is fast and stable, and it is particularly sensitive whether it is stepping on the accelerator or the brakes, and the response speed is very fast. The power is constant when accelerating, and there is no feeling of weakness even after 120 km/h.
The car's E-4ORCE Snow Fox all-wheel drive system is like an eagle's claw, gripping the ground tightly, keeping the tires tightly coupled to the ground. Not only does it make the car feel very easy to handle, but it also feels particularly precise when cornering. Even if you accelerate or brake sharply, the shaking amplitude of the car is so small that you can hardly feel it. The car's independent suspension system reduces the bumpiness of the car when passing over potholes, making it a comfortable ride. Overall, this car not only has good power and handling, but it is also very comfortable and stable to sit on.
The CR-V doesn't burst out with a lot of power right away, and the power output can meet the needs of daily overtaking. In terms of handling, the overall body is agile, the steering is light, and the chassis suspension support is also good, but the steering precision is slightly worse. In terms of comfort, the chassis suspension has good shock filtration, but the sound insulation is poor, and the tire noise, wind noise, and engine noise are large.
R**4 Rongfang's brake pedal has a poor foot feel, although the initial response is more sensitive, but if you want to brake directly, you must press the brake deeper, and at the same time, the braking force in the middle section is insufficient, and you will feel a little tired when driving on urban roads with dense traffic lights. At high speeds, the self-aspirating engine is less explosive and can give a feeling of weakness when accelerating to overtake.
In contrast, the CR-V and R**4 are slightly mediocre in terms of driving experience, and the super-hybrid electric drive X-Trail is stronger in terms of power, while in the four-wheel drive control, the electric four-wheel drive of the super-hybrid X-Trail makes the handling more precise and flexible, and the body posture remains more stable when cornering.
The interior of the car has its own characteristics, and the super-hybrid electric drive X-Trail is more comprehensive
The interior design of the X-Trail is sleek and looks very comfortable. Most of the places in the car are wrapped in high-grade materials, and the embellishment of ambient lighting is particularly textured. The car is also equipped with three large screens, 123-inch central control screen, 123-inch interactive instrument cluster and 10The 8-inch head-up display allows you to quickly see the vehicle condition information and enjoy a diverse visual experience. These high-tech features not only highlight the vehicle's sense of technology, but also provide the driver with a convenient and safe driving experience.
Although the interior style of the CR-V is unique, the materials used are average, the plastic material is only slush molded, and there are few active safety features, such as rear collision warning, moving object warning system, and low-speed driving warning.
R**4 Rongfang interior is traditional, lacks a sense of fashion, the material is average, lacks a sense of luxury, the central control screen is small, and the display effect is average. In terms of intelligent configuration, there is no AR real-world navigation, road traffic sign recognition, remote vehicle starting, etc. In terms of active safety configuration, there are no fatigue driving reminders, rear collision warnings and other configurations, and the dash cam is not standard.
In contrast, the super-hybrid X-Trail is more comprehensive in terms of configuration. The CR-V fuel version and R**4 fuel version are decent, with a relatively traditional interior design, without too many highlights and innovations, and the materials and craftsmanship are also relatively average, without the high-end sense of the super-hybrid X-Trail.
Fuel economy comparison: The super-hybrid X-Trail is a step ahead
The official fuel consumption of the X-Trail top-of-the-line version is 643 l, the actual fuel consumption is about 6 l;The official fuel consumption of the R**4 Rongfang 4WD Adventure Ultimate Edition is 684 l, actual fuel consumption 6About 5l;The official fuel consumption of the CR-V 4WD Premium Edition is 812L, the actual fuel consumption is about 8L.
Compared to gasoline vehicles, the X-Trail has better fuel economy, which is a feature of the e-power system, which only generates electricity and does not directly drive the vehicle, which makes it more efficient and thus achieves lower fuel consumption. When the vehicle starts, it is driven by electricity;When the battery is low, the internal combustion engine starts to generate electricity, which drives the vehicle and charges the battery at the same time. When decelerating or going downhill, the vehicle's kinetic energy drives the electric motor to generate electricity, and the electrical energy is stored in the battery. At high speeds, the internal combustion engine drives the generator to generate electricity, which drives the vehicle and charges the battery at the same time.
Summary
The X-Trail has excellent performance in terms of comprehensiveness, not only in terms of driving experience, interior configuration and fuel consumption, but also in terms of power, flexible handling and comfortable ride. In contrast, the CR-V and R**4 fuel four-wheel drive models are significantly inferior to the super-hybrid X-Trail in terms of comprehensive performance.
If your budget for buying a car is around 200,000 yuan, then the super-hybrid X-Trail is definitely a good choice!
