Related models: Explorer 2023 Ecoboost 285 4WD Titanium Edition 6-seater 6-seater titanium mentioned at the end of April 23, currently in the early half of the year, more than 8,000 kilometers have been run, there is no problem, and the overall score can be 95 points. I have four principles for choosing a car: first, the tram will never touch (including pure electric, extended range, and hybrid), and the radiation problem will not be considered if it is not clearly explained. Second, 48-volt mild hybrid should not be used in principle, unless the advantages in other aspects are enough to convince people. The reason is that the engine has an additional working unit is bound to double the probability of failure, and the performance is not necessarily improved, and the risk and benefit are not proportional. The third is that the car with a particle trap is not needed, this thing will be blocked sooner or later no matter how it is regenerated, and the principle is there. Fourth, the smell in the new car is not considered. The first car was the Buick GL8, spacious and large V6 25 self-priming engine plus 4AT gearbox, running is very smooth, although it has run nearly 200,000 kilometers, but the three major pieces are also leveraged, is a little meat, occasionally there are some small problems on the road, after all, 15 years of car age is placed there, in order to travel safely and securely, give your family a better travel experience, from 21 years decided to change a car, the budget is about 50, there are 5 people at home, the space should be large enough, there are no special requirements for the model, cars, SUVs and MPVs can be, So I looked at all the pre-selected models and excluded them one by one. Sedan: 56e is preferred, plus a BMW 630. First of all, the A6 is excluded, mainly because there is a wiring harness exposed near the chassis exhaust pipe, which is easy to age and short circuit under the action of high temperature near the exhaust pipe for a long time, and there are potential safety hazards. BMW 530 and 630 power control space can be, but 530 premium and 630 sports are beyond the budget, landing to about 55, 530 leading and 630 luxury configuration is not good, and this generation of BMW engine oil burning problem has not improved, but also with 48 mild hybrid and particle trap, I have to say goodbye (fortunately I didn't buy it at the time, otherwise I would have died according to the current ** price drop). The Mercedes-Benz E300 luxury standard is a good choice, with the highest B grid, no 48-volt mild hybrid, and no particle trap. But I don't think the Mercedes-Benz e retro-style interior is high-end, and the appearance is too far worse than the previous generation, spending 50 A large part of it is to pay for the logo, and I think about it again and again or give up. MPV: At present, the mainstream of MPV is nothing more than GL8 and Seine, buy a minimum configuration of about 35, and then spend 10,000 modifications, basically 40 can be solved, and 10 can be saved, think about it is still very fragrant, for this reason, I have paid attention to the old iron modification for a long time. However, due to the body structure of the MPV, the safety factor is not high, and the GL8 has been in the 25% offset collision of the A-pillar fracture incident in the China Insurance Research Institute in the past two years, and the safety has always been unreassuring. At the same time, a wide range of modification of interior formaldehyde is also a real problem, check a lot of information has not been completely solved, no matter how advanced technology to eliminate formaldehyde is only a moment, after a period of time or the same, there is also a change in the wood floor in case of accident deformation directly into a knife. I have friends around me who have been refitted for a year or two, and I look back and feel very low. Later, after rational analysis, the MPV was also rejected, and in the end, only the SUV remained. SUV: It's a bit embarrassing to buy an SUV at the price of 500,000 yuan. The X5 and GLE are out of reach, and the Q7, Touareg and XC90 can only hit the lowest configuration. I considered buying a second-hand X5, but my family strongly opposed the second-hand car, so I gave up. Focus on the study of XC90, the appearance has nothing to say, calm and durable, the interior is generally acceptable, value its safety and environmental protection, high-strength boron steel body and City Safety active safety system is invincible within 1 million in terms of safety, there is no smell in the car, and Baohua audio blessing, it is a good choice, but these have to go up to Zhiya, landing 65, exceeding the budget too much, Zhiyi landing 55, and then optional Baohua to go to 58, also beyond the budget, 50 can only buy B5 Zhixing, In addition to safety, there is no experience at all, and the XC90 all series comes with a 48-volt mild hybrid and a particle trap, which are the two most unacceptable. The Lincoln Aviator had heard of it, but felt that the car was too niche, and it was not particularly interested in the interior, so it was not understood in detail. I saw the public by chance, and I feel that the 380 best version is very good in all aspects, no light mix, no particle trap, landing in the early 300,000s, directly saving nearly 20, although it is not a row, but in the case of space and function to meet expectations, it can also save 20 There is indeed **. As I got to know better, I learned that the competitors of the Lanjing were XT6 and the Explorer (the Touron was directly rejected because the taillights were connected to a huge ugly thing), so I began to make a side-by-side comparison. XT6 is very good in all aspects, the brand is the strongest among the three, at least it can touch the edge with luxury, but the interior design is relatively old, the gear handle is ugly, the central control screen is small, the biggest problem is the appearance of the tear-eyed headlights, the whole car looks like crying, very unlucky. I really don't know what Cadillac thinks, this design flaw is still used as a selling point, in China it is estimated that there are not a few people who care, anyway, I was directly dissuaded by this point. Finally, there is the explorer, which is 10,000 more expensive than the range, but the advantages of the three major pieces are there, although there is a particle trap, but the middle section can be replaced without damage, so it is not in the way. In the end, there are only Lanjing and Explorer PK left. In terms of appearance, the range is relatively square, not as domineering as the explorer, and the red logo of the rear lights deducts points (unlucky, it will be much better if it is replaced with blue or white). In terms of space, the Ranger is larger than the Explorer, especially the tail box, and when the third row is used, the rear trunk space is one-third larger than the Explorer. In terms of interior, the ambient lighting is much more advanced than that of the explorer, and the suspension central control is very technological and the storage is much better than that of the explorer, but the orchid finger gear handle deducts points, which is very incongruous with such a large car. The central control screen explorer Dalian screen wins,On the seat,The brown rice double spell of the range feels good,But I personally prefer the purple and black double spell of the explorer。 When I went to the scene to see the car and test drive, I immediately decided to choose the explorer, not that the explorer control is much better than the range, the two cars actually drive almost the same every day, unless you drive fiercely to feel the difference. The front of the car is too rounded, a bit silly and big, the explorer is tougher, and there is no smell in the car.

The appearance is masculine and domineering

The chrome strip of the tail lights runs through, which looks a little better than the old model: the square and masculine atmosphere, but the face of the Land Rover, most people will feel that in the copycat Land Rover, it is easy to give people the illusion that they have no money and want to pretend to be forced, I don't know if it feels right. Interior: The purple and black double-pin interior and steering wheel shape are very in line with personal aesthetics, I personally don't like the round steering wheel, it feels very old-fashioned, and I don't like the deformed steering wheel that is too aggressive, and the steering wheel of the explorer is very sporty. After seeing so many cars, except for the dragonfly steering wheel of Mercedes-Benz E, I think it looks good, and there are only explorers. In addition, the six-seater version's second-row electric flip-up is a plus, which powerfully raises the B-level. Configuration: The three major pieces are the core competitiveness of the explorer, and the book data is better than XT6 and Lanjing, which can be compared with Q7 and Touareg PK. The fashion is barely enough, but if you need a certain amount of comfort, the budget is not particularly tight or you still have to go on titanium, the configuration is basically complete, saving the trouble of subsequent installation, 360, bo audio, lane change assistance, atmosphere lighting, kicking the trunk, front radar, driver's seat memory, double-piece suede seat These configurations are very troublesome to install later, so it is best to be in place in one step. At that time, when I bought the car, Kunlun and Chijin had not yet come out, but I was more inclined to ST, more than titanium front dynamic marquee, manual automatic gearbox, seat massage, lift display, the third row of electric reclining, helplessly do not like ST's seats, if ST has purple and black Shuangpin can be chosen, absolutely decisive choice of it. The car picked up in April, coordinates Shenzhen, landed 366 (body plus tax 38.)7. Insurance 09. Insurance rebate 03. Manufacturer replacement subsidy 1, **subsidy 17) Buy the insurance yourself, take out a loan of 100,000 yuan, 3 years interest-free, no other fees. In addition, it comes with a 5-year 140,000 km warranty, 6 times of maintenance, 4 paints, electric pedals, soft-packed mats for the whole car, dash cam and pillows and other gifts. Advantages: The advantages are that the car has a large space, a good line of sight, a very stable drive, a good control after the speed comes up, and the configuration in all aspects is also sufficient, such as BO audio, large screen, L2 assisted driving, PM25. Purification, steering wheel heating, seat heating and ventilation, and electric adjustment of the second-row seats are all very practical. Disadvantages: First, the start is more meaty, speed up to be willing to give oil, otherwise there is no force below 2,000 rpm, when the oil is on 2,000 rpm, the shift is not active, and it has to be delayed until 2,500 rpm before shifting, the engine sound at this time is relatively loud, occasionally the speed of more than 20 downshifts is a little frustrated, I feel that the gearbox is a little collapsed, should not be the performance of 10at; The second is that there are a few times when I stop and wait for the red light, I suddenly sound the fault prompt, when the fault light is not on, the follow-up has no effect, I asked the 4S store, saying that the signal may be interfered with; Third, if there is a car next to you when turning, the radar warning will be delayed occasionally, and the red error prompt will continue to be issued when the obstacle is crossed; Fourth, 360 is not clear and cannot be opened automatically, and there is still a gap between it and expectations; Fifth, OTA is not upgraded; Sixth, the rearview mirror cannot see the wheels under normal circumstances, and the reversing memory cannot be set, which has an impact on the car when reversing; Seventh, the voice wake-up of the car machine is often misidentified and started by itself; Eighth, the rotating gear handle feels a bit girly, not domineering enough, if it can be replaced with a cutting-edge aircraft gear handle, it will be perfect. Daily commuting to and from urban areas, with fewer high-speed speeds, 12 overallAbout 5 of them, I think it's okay. I am equipped with a threshold strip, an air purifier, 2 pillows, 2 aerosol fire extinguishers, an electric jack, a luminous hub cap, two LCD screens with tempered film, starry sky projection lamps and other small objects. The starry sky projection lamp is especially recommended, 200 pieces, and the effect is no worse than the modified starry sky top. The luminous hubcap will glow at a speed of more than 20, and it feels too flamboyant and naïve after installation, and I don't want to use it, so I made a hubcap sticker to stick it. The pillow sent by the original car is not practical, so I bought two and opened it to be used as a quilt.

The purple-black interior is enduring, and the steering wheel shape is also good-looking

The soft bag mat sent by the manufacturer feels OK

The threshold bar bought by a treasure looks better when installed

Add an air purifier, in addition to the formaldehyde in the car, there is no effect I am not sure if the original car atmosphere light is too dark, and there are only 7 colors. More than 1800 sunroofs, 4 speakers, 4 doors and 2 rear socket lamps are installed, and the grade feels like it has gone up all of a sudden. The middle section also had to be replaced, and an important reason for buying a big explorer at that time was that the individual was very reluctant to have a particle trap, and the throttle was a little lighter after replacement, and it didn't feel very obvious, but the main thing was that you didn't have to worry about the engine anymore because of the carbon accumulation of this thing. As for the hydraulic struts of the cabin cover, it has not been replaced, because after the installation, the cabin cover will automatically pop open, in case which bayonet is not firm, go to high speed and bump the cabin cover to bounce up by itself, it will be a big matter, and there are potential safety hazards. The remaining marquee lights, paddle shifters and stereos are waiting to be moved after the warranty, which is relatively large for fear of affecting the warranty. Overall, I am still quite satisfied with this car, and if the car logo is replaced with a BBA, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to sell for 60.

Install 64-color ambient lights, which can be controlled by mobile phone Bluetooth, the original car is light blue, and the color of the additional lights is gradual

Skylights and horn ambient lighting must be retrofitted

Coupled with the starry sky projector, the atmosphere is directly full

The starry sky projector is magnetically mounted on the plastic of the toolbox, and it will not damage the leather if you don't use it in the future. Take power from the cigarette lighter in the toolbox, and the wires are basically hidden.
