Recently, the first model of AtlantiX's M3X Mars Architecture 2.0, AtlantiX Stellar, was officially launched. The new vehicle is positioned as a mid-sized SUV with an official guide price of 152,800-202,800 yuan. As a new fuel version of the model, Stellar adopts a new design language, equipped with 2.0T engine, against models such as Volkswagen TIGUAN L and BYD Tang DM. So the same 200,000 yuan-class high-quality medium-sized SUV, the traditional model TIGUAN L, the hot hybrid model BYD Tang DM and the "new army" AtlantiX Stellar, who is the cost-effective choice? Next, let us analyze the differences between them by analyzing the exterior design, interior layout and performance parts that we are very concerned about!
Exterior design
The three models have very different styles, the AtlantiX Stellar is mainly avant-garde fashion line, the front adopts a borderless center mesh design, the internal use of parametric processing, through the LED headlights across the front, the AtlantiX LOGO is located in the middle, vertical daytime running lights and the two sides of the air inlet integration, looks very layered. The side of the car adopts the coupe SUV style, with a downward trend from the B-pillar, and the D-pillar is also equipped with bright silver trim design, which has a good dynamic effect overall. The rear end echoes the front, with a large spoiler, running taillights and a bilateral four-exit exhaust shape, all further enhancing the car's sense of movement.
BYD Tang DM is mainly round and full style, the front of the classic large horizontal grille, silver trim through the brand Logo, and extended to both sides of the headlights, C-shaped style air intake shape is relatively sharp, and with the bottom of the slightly convex front lip design, to further enhance its sense of movement. The side of the car is relatively smooth and spacious, with a mainstream double waistline design, the upper waistline running through the entire body, and the lower waistline with concave door design, which also presents a good full effect. The rear design is relatively conservative, using many straight lines to create a good sense of hierarchy. The red and white through-tail lamp design is highly recognizable when lit, and the silver guard plate at the bottom is decorative and looks very heavy.
Volkswagen TIGUAN L main atmospheric stability line, the front of the horizontal wide network, the classic C-shaped chrome lines are very hierarchical, the front surround after the black treatment, looks more stable. The side of the body is more layered, the roof part of the luggage rack design, the upper waist line from the door handle through, looks very simple and tense. The rear of the car is very chic gun-shaped taillights, hidden exhaust design is also very mainstream, and the taillights have also added the effect of water steering and dynamic breathing, the overall visual effect is relatively good.
Interior layout
The interior layout is not very different, the three models are mainly simple and atmospheric style, and do not lose the sense of technology and sport. The AtlantiX adopts a symmetrical layout, with the air vents running through the center console divided into two parts, the upper part is a 24.6-inch curved duplex screen, the lower part is three physical knob control keys, the steering wheel adopts a double-spoke design, and the double spelling color is also more sensual. Car system part, AtlantiX Stellar is equipped with Xiongnu Zhiyun 5.0 system + Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 intelligent chip, responsive and smooth operation, it also supports Super ID, intelligent voice interaction, cell phone APP remote control, Carplay, Hicar and so on.
BYD Tang DM adopts asymmetric layout, the classic rotatable center control screen is located in the center, there are no physical keys in the center control area, and all functions are integrated in the center control screen. The piano baking paint panel on the right side is relatively large in size, and then paired with flip-fur material and matte material trim, etc. to further enhance the interior texture. The car system part, BYD Tang DM equipped with DiLink3.0 (4G) intelligent network connection system, support intelligent and accurate navigation, online audio and video entertainment system, cloud service intelligent butler (car search, start and close air conditioning, etc.), remote chauffeur mode, car condition butler mode, a variety of mainstream APP, etc.
The air conditioning vents of the Volkswagen TIGUAN L have a through design and are covered with many soft materials, the full LCD instrument panel has a classic embedded design, and the large center control screen has a suspended design. The car's mechanical system is equipped with the latest MOS 3.1 system, which supports gesture control and wireless CarPlay. Voice commands on the steering wheel or "Hello, VW!" can wake up the conversation, and its recognition rate is relatively high.
Performance
AtlantiX Stellar is equipped with a 2.0TGDI engine with a maximum power of 192kW (261Ps) and a peak torque of 400N-m. It is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.6L/100km under WLTC conditions, and offers CDC electromagnetic suspension, all-terrain 4WD system and 7 driving modes, of which the CDC electromagnetic suspension system is in the same class The CDC electromagnetic suspension system is still relatively rare in the same class of vehicles.
The BYD Tang DM is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine and a single electric motor, where the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 102kW and a peak torque of 231N-m, while the electric motor has a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 325N-m. The battery pack uses BYD's blade battery with a capacity of 21.5kWh, and the two-wheel drive version has a pure electric range of 252km, while the four-wheel drive version has a range of 252km. The two-wheel drive version has a pure electric range of 252km, while the four-wheel drive version has a pure electric range of 215km.
The Volkswagen TIGUAN L is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T high and low power engines with maximum power of 110kW (150hp)/137kW (186hp)/162kW (220hp) and peak torque of 250N-m/320N-m/350N-m respectively, with a 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission (DCT) in the transmission. The power performance of the 1.4T model is not outstanding, but its throttle response is relatively light, while the power performance of the 2.0T standard power model is improved, and the steering feel is relatively soft, so that it is not too bulky in the city, and the power performance of the 2.0T high power model is more outstanding, with an earlier torque burst point and stronger acceleration in the middle and rear.
Summary
In summary, although the AtlantiX Stellar is later to enter the market, it is also more fully integrated in terms of resources and has better performance in terms of vehicle functions, driving assistance systems and seat functions, while the 2.0T + 7DCT powertrain that is equipped with the car is also good driving fun. BYD Tang DM body size is larger, and also provides 7-seat layout, equipped with DM hybrid system can be oil can be electric, short distance can use pure electricity, long distance also no range anxiety. Volkswagen TIGUAN L product power performance is also relatively good, the control of consumer demand is more accurate, and its brand power and recognition to be higher. Each of the three models has its own advantages, so in the case of similar prices, who is more worthy of getting the AtlantiX Stellar, Volkswagen TIGUAN L and Tang DM?
