Today’s protagonist is the former sales king, who has been around for about ten years.

With its excellent cost-effectiveness and good comfort, it once became a government-purchased model. Later, whether it was due to marketing reasons or the rise of domestically produced cars, it became worse day by day. It even had lower configurations than Chinese models, lower stability than Japanese models, lower performance than American models, and lower durability than German models.

However, this situation began to change with the ninth-generation Sonata, and sales began to gradually pick up. The tenth-generation Sonata currently on sale has re-entered the mid-size car market with its fierce and sporty design and remarkable power performance, and its current sales and popularity are still performing well. Today we will take a look at the pitfalls. To avoid, which one is most worth buying.

As always, let’s talk about the pitfalls before talking.

The first is the price. The 2020 tenth-generation Sonata has just been launched, and there are no discounts for the new model. Basically, it’s a 0-interest loan or some maintenance. The lack of discounts may really be a trap for Sonata, which has a low value retention rate, because according to past practice, Sonata still has strong discounts in the later period. If you really like it, you can first see which one is worth buying, and then wait.

In addition, from the appearance point of view, I won’t say that he is a scam, because it varies from person to person, but it is indeed quite controversial. The tenth-generation Sonata has an avant-garde and exaggerated design, with an oversized grille and slender headlights. It is super sporty and fierce. How can I put it, just like a super sporty and fierce catfish. It’s not that it’s bad to look like catfish, I just love catfish, let’s just say, I basically have one every month.

Joking aside, it is true that such an exaggerated appearance design has caught the attention of many people years ago and has done a good job of rejuvenating the customer base. After all, the age of the main consumers in the market is decreasing year by year. After all, the sports attributes of mid-size cars are increasing and the administrative attributes are declining.

The following is a formal discussion of which of the tenth-generation Sonatas is worth buying.

First, let’s take a look at the overall models and price ranges:

The tenth-generation Sonata can be divided into two categories in terms of power:

Unless there are special circumstances Use (such as special cars), otherwise I would not recommend the Sonata 270TGDi? 1.5T+7-speed dual-clutch model to everyone. As a mid-size family car, the driving experience and power feel are actually very important, and the 1.5T (170 horsepower) engine is a bit like a small car pulling a big car for a medium-sized car. In order to maintain the peak power output, the speed of the 1.5T engine remains high. The specific manifestation is that there is a burst in the front section, but the power reserve is still slightly insufficient.

The main thing I want to recommend to everyone is the tenth-generation Sonata 380TGDi model equipped with a 2.0T engine. After all, the appearance focuses on sports, and the heart also needs to exercise. This 2.0T engine can produce 240 horsepower and 353 Nm of power. This power level is very advantageous in the same class. And it has 70 more horsepower than its own 1.5T model. Even from this perspective, the 380TGDi model should be the first choice.

So which of the tenth-generation Sonata 380TGDi models is more worth buying?

Let’s first take a look at the configuration differences between the tenth-generation Sonata 380TGDi GLS automatic luxury version and the 380TGDi TOP automatic flagship version?

From the configuration differences, we can see that the upgrade of the 380TGDi?TOP?automatic flagship version mainly focuses on administrative functions. As mentioned at the beginning, this car actually does not have strong administrative attributes, but more Movement properties. Therefore, unless the budget is very abundant, I think the price difference of 12,000 can still be saved.

As for the question of which one is more worth buying, the 380TGDi GS automatic smart version or the 380TGDi GLS automatic luxury version, I think we can still look at it from the perspective of car demand.

There is not much difference in the overall configuration of the tenth-generation Sonata 380TGDi GS automatic smart version and 380TGDi GLS automatic luxury version. The 10,000 yuan price difference is mainly concentrated in safety configuration and driving assistance. Functionally.

Then my point of view is:

If you are an experienced driver, you can save 10,000 yuan and choose the tenth-generation Sonata 380TGDi GS Automatic Smart Edition. After all, the driving assistance function is rarely of much use in daily driving.

If you are a novice or often drive on high speeds, you can choose the tenth-generation Sonata 380TGDi GLS automatic luxury version. After all, high-speed driving assistance and more advanced anti-collision warning systems can be given to you. Driving boosts confidence.
