The differences between the Excelle and the Excelle GT are: 1. Different body dimensions: The Excelle has a body length, width, and height of 4468mm, 1765mm, and 1469mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2611mm; the Excelle GT has a body length, width, and height of 4609mm, 1798mm, and 1486mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. 2. Different powertrains: The Excelle is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine; the Excelle GT is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine. 3. Different rear suspensions: The Excelle has a compound torsion beam non-independent rear suspension; the Excelle GT has a multi-link independent rear suspension.
As a car owner who frequently chauffeurs family members, I've driven both the Excelle and the Verano, and the differences are quite noticeable. The Excelle is significantly cheaper, priced at just over 100,000 yuan, offering spacious interiors ideal for family trips. However, its cabin has a strong plastic feel, and the ride is noisier. The acceleration is smooth but lacks excitement, and fuel consumption is on the higher side. The Verano costs about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan more, positioned as a more premium model. It boasts a much more stylish exterior, soft-touch interior materials, and comfortable seats. The ride is stable and quiet, equipped with modern features like Bluetooth and navigation, and offers more robust power, making overtaking effortless. From a maintenance perspective, Excelle parts are cheaper and repairs are less costly, whereas the Verano's additional tech features lead to slightly higher maintenance expenses. I believe the choice depends on budget—if funds are tight, the Excelle is a practical option, but for those prioritizing comfort and technology, spending extra on the Verano is worthwhile.
