Almost every year in the second quarter, the domestic auto market will usher in a wave of small climax, this is because every April will usher in a grand large-scale international auto show, many consumers will take this opportunity to buy the new car they want. However, due to the impact of the epidemic this year, the 2022 Beijing Auto Show announced an extension, and many car companies' new car promotion plans were also affected.
However, according to the news currently mastered by Brother Rudder, the new cars originally scheduled to be listed at the Beijing Auto Show will not make everyone wait too long, and many blockbuster models will basically be concentrated in the second quarter of this year. So next, Brother Rumble will talk to you about several blockbuster joint venture and luxury new cars that are about to be listed.
A new generation of Mondeo
Listing time: April
For the new generation of Mondeo I would like to call it one of the most sincere joint venture cars in recent years, comparable to the 2945mm wheelbase of luxury C-class cars, the whole series is equipped with a 2.0T+8AT powertrain, zero hundred acceleration only takes 6.5 seconds, plus only 15.98-21.98 million yuan of pre-price, for LaCrosse, Asian Dragon and other B+ class cars can be described as a dimensionality reduction blow.
The new generation of Mondeo in terms of details also brings quite a few surprises. For example, the new appearance design, with a large number of sports and scientific and technological elements, the overall look is both atmospheric and personalized, in line with the aesthetics of young consumers.
In addition to the low-end version, the new generation of Mondeo is also equipped with a 1.1-meter long central control screen, plus SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system, Ford's new generation Co-Pilot360 Zhixing driving assistance system and other technologies, fully meet the needs of the Chinese people for science and technology.
It can be seen that whether it is the price, size, or power, and configuration, Changan Ford's new generation of Mondeo has a very strong advantage in the same level, which may become Changan Ford's turnaround.
Dongfeng Honda e: NS1
In October last year, Honda Motor announced that it has fully entered a new era of electrification and officially released a new pure electric vehicle brand "e:N", and Dongfeng Honda e:N1 is the first model of the e:N brand. The car opened pre-sale on March 19, and the pre-sale range was 180,000-210,000 yuan.
Unlike the previous Dongfeng Honda X-NV, the e:NS1 front is hung with a striking Honda H standard, indicating that this is a Honda cargo of the Eight Classics. From the appearance of the silhouette, the new car follows the design of the overseas version of the new generation VEZEL (that is, the new generation of XR-V), which is a bit similar to the small version of the UR-V as a whole, and the large slip back line looks more sporty, and the design of the hidden door handle is also continued.
Although the body design of the fuel vehicle is adopted, it is not so much oil to electricity, but rather to electric oil, Dongfeng Honda e: NS1 uses Honda's new pure electric front-drive architecture to create, whether it is the layout of the chassis or the interior space fully reflects the advantages of pure electric vehicles. This makes it possible to achieve a spacious space in the rear row, as well as an almost flat floor.
As for the power side, it provides two power options of 134kw and 150kw, corresponding to the two endurance versions of 420 km and 510 km respectively.
In terms of product strength, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 can be said to meet consumers' ultimate fantasy for small SUVs, both with flexible body and generous space. However, for a small SUV, the starting price of 180,000 yuan is really a bit drifty.
FAW Toyota bZ4X
Time to market: Late June
After Honda, let's take a look at Toyota's pure electric vehicles, and in December last year, Toyota released as many as 16 pure electric products in one go to show its determination to fully electrify. Among them, the bZ4X is Toyota's first global product in the field of pure electric power, and the Chinese market will be the first to be put into production by FAW Toyota, and it is scheduled to roll off the production line in June.
Different from the Previous Oil-to-Electricity Yize E Jinqing, FAW Toyota bZ4X is the first e-TNGA exclusive architecture landing model. The design concept of "Activity Hub" is adopted in the appearance, which is subversive and technologically sound overall.
The interior is also expected to provide an alien sports steering wheel, which greatly enhances the futuristic feeling. But even if the mass-produced model uses a traditional circular multi-function steering wheel, the special instrument design of the new car and the suspension of the central control screen are still quite eye-catching.
The bZ4X will be available in both front-drive and four-wheel drive versions, with a 204-horsepower motor for the front-wheel drive version and a dual 109-horsepower front and rear electric motors for the four-wheel drive version, as well as Subaru's X-MODE technology and Grip-Control intelligent multi-condition adaptation system.
Compared with the previous Toyota products, the bZ4X is indeed subversive, but in today's pure electric vehicle market, the amazing degree of this car will still be greatly reduced, but compared to the visible innovation, the invisible reliability is the biggest advantage of the bZ4X.
SAIC Audi Q6
The domestic off-line of BMW Brilliance X5L is destined to change the pattern of the medium and large luxury car market, and the first to make countermeasures is SAIC Audi, which is about to launch the first domestic luxury medium and large SUV - Q6.
Judging from the currently exposed declaration drawings, the new car adopts the brand's new SUV design concept, the front and rear headlights, hexagonal grille and other details have been inherited, and it is reported that the design elements of China's Kirin have also been integrated.
SAIC Audi Q6 is a luxury medium and large SUV based on the MQB Evo platform, with a wheelbase of 2980mm like volkswagen Tuon, but the overall body size is larger. In terms of power, it is equipped with the fourth generation EA888 2.0T engine, the transmission system matches a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the maximum power is 170kW, according to the SAIC Audi A7L approach, SAIC Audi Q6 is expected to introduce a higher displacement six-cylinder engine.
Of course, compared with the MLB Evo longitudinal platform, the Q6's MQB Evo will feel not pure enough, but with a large enough body size and a very advantageous price after domestic production, it will naturally be easier to benchmark bmw brilliance X5L. From the consumer's point of view, the cheaper and larger Audi is obviously also very attractive.
In recent years, the development of domestic automobile electrification has been deepening, so that joint ventures and luxury car brands have also felt pressure, so we have seen That Honda and Toyota, which have always looked at electrification in the Buddhist system, have begun to accelerate the promotion of platform-based pure electric products. On the other hand, in the face of the fiercely competitive stock market, whether it is a joint venture brand or a luxury brand, it has to start to compete for cost performance.
