How to distinguish between the Mark X Large V and Small V?
2 Answers
Distinguishing between the Mark X Large V and Small V can be done by: 1. Different engine displacements: The Large V has a 3.0L displacement; the Small V has a 2.5L displacement. 2. Different wheel sizes: The Large V has 18-inch wheels; the Small V has 16-inch wheels. The exterior dimensions of the Mark X are 4735mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. In terms of power, it adopts the world-class FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) technology, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. For the interior, not only does the steering wheel have audio control functions, but front-seat passengers can also adjust the audio via buttons on the door.
I've driven the Mark X (Reiz) for several years, owning a small V myself while my friend has a big V. Telling them apart is actually quite easy—just check the rear emblem. The small V is labeled with V6 25 or similar, while the big V has V6 30 or other markings. There are also noticeable exterior details, like wheel size: the small V usually comes with 16- or 17-inch wheels and thinner tires, offering a quiet ride but lacking punch. The big V, on the other hand, sports 18- or 19-inch wheels, looking more aggressive and feeling steadier in corners. As for acceleration, the small V starts off sluggishly when you hit the gas, taking over 8 seconds for 0-100 km/h—fine for city traffic but struggles when overtaking. The big V is much fiercer, hitting 100 km/h in under 7 seconds, with a deeper engine roar and thrilling back-push on highways. The interiors differ too: the small V may have cloth or basic leather seats, while the big V’s high-end trim offers premium leather seats and a navigation screen. I’ve also noticed engine bay sizes during maintenance—the small V’s is more compact, while the big V’s has more space for better cooling. Bottom line: don’t guess; just check the emblem or test-drive to feel the power difference.
