Edmunds recommends the five best SUVs for under $40K_我的网站

鲁豫有约

一 |     The automotive experts at Edmunds test SUVs of all shapes, sizes and prices. During these evaluations, certain models rise to the top with qualities such as roomy seating and cargo areas, a comfortable ride, and easy-to-use touchscreens and technology features. But with many prospective buyers looking to make every dollar count, it’s important to consider value as well.Working with a budget cap of $40,000, Edmunds picked five SUVs to highlight. Some have city-friendly proportions that take the stress out of parking in tight spots, while others have cavernous cargo holds and handy third-row seating. They are listed below in order of price, which includes the destination charge.2024 MAZDA CX-50The Mazda CX-50 small SUV earns a spot in this list thanks to its driving refinement and upscale cabin. From inside it’s not hard to believe that you’re behind the wheel of a luxury-badged model. The design is first-rate and the seats are supportive in either row. The CX-50 rides a bit more firmly over bumps than other SUVs, but in return it has stable handling and is enjoyable to zip around town in or take out on a scenic drive. All-wheel drive is standard on every trim, as are driver assist features such as lane keeping assistance, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning. A 186-horsepower four-cylinder serves as this Mazda’s capable and budget-minded base engine. There’s an optional turbo four-cylinder that’s more powerful, but it nudges the price at or above a $40,000 spending limit.Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price: $31,6752023 KIA SORENTOThe Kia Sorento is a compelling choice for shoppers wanting a low-priced seven-passenger SUV. Its third-row seating area is smaller than those of bigger models — such as the Hyundai Palisade listed below — but it is still suitable for occasional use for kids. Most of the Sorento’s trim levels come well stocked with helpful convenience and technology features.There is a choice of a fuel-conscious, non-turbocharged 191-horsepower four-cylinder engine or a punchier 281-horsepower turbo-four available in higher trims. And it’s possible to opt for the more powerful engine and keep the Sorento’s price well below $40,000. A Sorento Hybrid is also available for shoppers seeking higher fuel economy. Starting MSRP: $31,4152024 HONDA CR-VThe Honda CR-V is about as well rounded as a small SUV can get. It delivers a smooth and comfortable ride, great outward visibility, and loads of cargo space. Fuel economy is another plus point. The CR-V’s base 190-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder gets up to an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined, or you can opt for the 204-hp hybrid powertrain that gets up to 40 mpg combined. Thanks to its recent redesign for the 2023 model year, the interior of the CR-V is attractive and functional. Picking the midgrade EX-L trim stays under our budget limit and still gets you some upscale features such as leather upholstery, a power liftgate and a bigger center touchscreen. Starting MSRP: $30,8252024 SUBARU OUTBACKThe Subaru Outback is ideal for SUV shoppers who want a vehicle that’s suitable for occasional off-road adventures. Thanks to its standard all-wheel drive and generous ground clearance, the midsize Outback has above-average capability on dirt roads or rocky trails. The Outback’s wagon-like shape also makes it easier to load recreational gear or cargo on the roof.Acceleration from the Outback’s standard 182-horsepower four-cylinder can be slow when you need a burst of speed on the highway, but in exchange the Outback gets a respectable EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined. A more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder is also available, though it exceeds our budget cap.Starting MSRP: $30,1902024 HYUNDAI PALISADEThe three-row Hyundai Palisade is the most expensive SUV among Edmunds’ choices here, and the majority of trims are priced beyond a $40,000 budget. But it’s important to know even the base Palisade is equipped with a long roster of tech features and driving aids. Highlights include a big 12.3-inch center touchscreen, first- and second-row USB ports, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning.All Palisades come with a 291-horsepower V6 engine that delivers acceptable acceleration and fuel economy. Despite its relatively large size, the Palisade is relaxing to drive and easy to maneuver. Also worth noting is its third-row seating has ample space even for adults, which is a rarity among many midsize SUVs. Starting MSRP: $37,735_______This story was provided to The Associated Press by the automotive website Edmunds.Nick Kurczewski is a contributor at Edmunds and is on Twitter and Instagram。    

[ 资讯] 5月28日,小鹏MONA M03(参数|询价) Max新车上市发布会在京举行。发布会后,小鹏汽车董事长何小鹏、自动驾驶负责人李力耘、MONA产品系列负责人杨光就市场竞争、智驾技术路线、全球化战略等问题接受媒体群访,同时,围绕 “人机共驾” 模式下的保险责任问题也成为讨论焦点。

应对行业内卷:聚焦科技与全球化,拒绝单纯价格战

针对近期车企降价,何小鹏表示,当前价格战仅是 “开胃菜”,未来五年竞争将更激烈。他强调,小鹏的应对策略是 “不卷价格,卷科技”,核心路径包括:强化科技研发,聚焦具身智能与汽车的深度融合,推动高阶智驾技术落地。
同时,加速全球化布局,MONA系列将作为全球化车型,推出左舵/右舵、纯电/超电(增程)版本,以长期主义稳扎海外市场,避免重蹈中国摩托车企业因质量问题退出越南市场的覆辙。向新质生产力转型,通过全栈自研提升技术壁垒,依托十一年技术积累突破行业价格与智驾能力的平衡点。

智驾技术路线:坚持高算力与纯视觉方案,人机共驾成亮点

在智驾技术层面,何小鹏指出,算力是智能汽车的基础,500TOPS是L2级智驾的理想标准,未来L3/L4级算力需求将持续提升。

四 | 他强调,小鹏坚定走纯视觉+高算力路线,“激光雷达方案虽易研发,但纯视觉方案在大模型与算力支撑下,能实现更高的全域安全与体验上限”,并透露下个月将发布相关技术进展。

当晚小鹏全球首发的“人机共驾”功能成为焦点,小鹏自动驾驶负责人李力耘表示,该功能通过AI算法与全栈自研能力,实现驾驶员与智驾系统的无缝协作,例如通过方向盘转动幅度智能判断接管需求,数据反馈将反哺大模型优化。何小鹏以“大脑+小脑+脊椎”类比,强调人机共驾是迈向完全自动驾驶的必经阶段,未来将实现三者的深度耦合。
随着智能驾驶技术的发展,“人机共驾”模式下的事故责任认定和保险问题备受关注。今年4月28日,小鹏汽车就曾推出智能辅助驾驶安心服务,即业内所称的“智驾险”,售价239元/年,车主在小鹏APP即可购买,最高补偿可达100 万元。

五 | 据小鹏汽车销售顾问和官方客服介绍,若从开启智驾到智驾退出5秒以内出现智驾事故,可获得赔付,且赔付由小鹏汽车负责。不过值得注意的是,购买该服务的前提是车主必须先购买与小鹏合作保险公司的商业险。

事实上,自去年以来,极越、鸿蒙智行、阿维塔等车企也相继推出智驾险服务。但目前市场上的智驾险多被定位为增值服务,并非传统意义上经监管部门备案的保险产品。由于现行道路交通安全法尚未明确“人机责任”划分标准,加上车企对驾驶数据的掌控,使得事故定责存在争议,同时部分承保范围与传统车险重叠,引发了消费者对重复投保和转嫁责任的质疑。
对此,何小鹏认为,驾驶主体正从“人”向“自动驾驶系统”转换,保险公司面临精算模型重构、风险评估难度增加和费率制定困难等问题。他建议鼓励车企与保险公司联合开发适配产品,通过数据共享优化保险精算模型,合理确定保险费率和保障范围,进一步释放消费市场需求。

产品与市场策略:MONA系列成销量担当,品牌向上路径清晰

MONA M03作为小鹏销量担当,已交付12万台,连续8个月位居A级纯电轿车市场第一。针对品牌向上的质疑,何小鹏表示,小鹏将形成10万-50万元价格带的全域产品矩阵:MONA巩固10万-20万元市场,P7+、X9等车型覆盖中高端市场。

六 | 他强调,品牌向上依托技术力与产品力,而非单纯价格区间,现有车型未来将通过推出超电版提升竞争力。

谈及盈利预期,何小鹏透露,小鹏计划今年四季度实现盈利,当前研发投入(含飞行汽车)近百亿元,但毛利持续提升,亏损快速收窄,目标通过“同级最高科技+合理毛利” 实现可持续发展。(编译/ 岳长兴)
