How about Saab x35?

A beautiful car, especially one that looks "atmospheric" (although I don't even know what atmosphere is now), has won half the battle.

The brand strength of Beiqi Sic Bo is still not enough. If it sells well, it proves that the product is really good.

In fact, until last year, I knew little about Sic Bo.

If I remember correctly, I participated in two endurance races at Guangdong International Circuit last year. On the field, the performance of our Chuanqi racing car is far from that of the rival of the media group, a Sic Bo D70. The reason is that the other side's Sic Bo D70 turbo-charged 2.0T, and we naturally inhaled 2.0l. ..

But by the end of the year, we won the annual champion of the media group, although there was a little luck in it.

Actually, the first time I went to test drive Sic Bo was at the end of last year, when it was an X25. At that time, I heard that I wanted to try an independent brand that was not well-known in China. I refused because you wouldn't let me try. What should I write if your car is broken? So I started trying. ......

But I soon found that X25 was quite interesting. So I'm still looking forward to the test drive invitation of X35.

Importance between face value and blank space

Because of the relationship between Mercedes-Benz and BAIC, the design of X35 is inclined to Mercedes-Benz, especially after entering the cockpit. Those dazzling designs are officially called "luxury car style": the north-shaped air outlet comes from the design of Mercedes-Benz at first glance, and its rich and bold color matching is only more eye-catching than Shenzhen Huaqiang North's mobile phone, although X35 is much more stable than X25.

Various design elements of Mercedes-Benz, but similar to X25. How about judging for yourself?

Although the interior design of Sic Bo X35 tests the aesthetic ability of car owners, the exterior design is well received. If the family face design of "North" is put on the front face, the appearance design of Sic Bo X35 is not inferior to many joint venture brands. And it is definitely the most beautiful among independent brands at the same level.

A beautiful car, especially one that looks "atmospheric" (although I don't even know what atmosphere is now), has won half the battle.

The photos I took have been used by manufacturers for publicity, and the value of X35 is really high.

Another magic weapon of X35 is the vacant room. The body size is 4300x1815x1640mm, and the wheelbase is 2570mm. Although they are all called small SUVs, they were enlarged by the previous X25. Even X35 has certain advantages over changan CS35 and Chery Tiggo 3 in terms of wheelbase and space. Sometimes the data doesn't explain the problem. The important thing is that the X35 has a lot of empty space in the back row. It looks like a small SUV and it's too big.

The seat comfort is ok, and the empty space in the back row is very good.

Vacancy is too important to the public. Before you saw the Spring Festival travel rush craze, five people crowded in the back row to pay New Year's greetings. However, the vacancy is so big that you don't need much work details and motivation. Car buyers who spend 65,800 yuan may not mind this. When it comes to seat comfort, X35 is better than X25.

Love the third generation 4-speed automatic transmission

Like the previous X25, the Cheetah X35 is equipped with A 15 1 .5l inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine independently developed by BAIC, with a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 148Nm, matching a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission. We tested the 4-speed automatic version and found that the power was quiet and the engine turned from high to high smoothly.

The low torque and response speed of the engine are similar, so it is used in X35 with automatic transmission, and the power is slightly insufficient.

X35 This pair of Aisin's third-generation 4-speed automatic transmission, I have the taste of Toyota Zhixuan's 4AT. What do you mean? It's not because it's a 4-speed automatic transmission that it's not smooth. In fact, its shifting logic and smoothness are excellent. The automatic transmission price from 78800 yuan, what else do you want?

Don't underestimate this 4-speed automatic gearbox. Its performance is better than that of the engine.

However, the 4AT of 1.5L, plus the weight of 1270kg (lighter than expected), is a little hard for a naturally aspirated engine of1.5l. It is not a big problem to walk in the city every day, but it is very uncomfortable to pull three adults to overtake on the expressway. The reasons for the lack of power are not only the vehicle weight and the power output of the engine, but also related to the lack of high speed design, low torque and slow speed response of the engine.

The chassis of X35 is quite comfortable.

I have tested 1.5L 5MT X25 before, and found that the chassis capability of X25 is good, and the adjustment is even in place, which is a little sporty. On the X35, the sportiness is buried, because the body is bigger and heavier. However, X35 has less exercise, is more comfortable and calm, and has a good sound insulation level.

This must be another car sale.

When I tried X25 last year, I mentioned in my article that it had a big selling period. The reason is very simple, because after the test drive, I feel that the product is very powerful. As a result, the sales volume of X25 exceeded 10,000.

Now try X35 again. I'm sure it will sell even better than X25, not only because of its ultra-low price of 65,800 ~ 88,800. Of course, price is definitely the most important factor.

One of the reasons for recommending Sic Bo is that the chassis is better than its peers.

What do you think China people mainly look for when buying a car? If it is placed in first-and second-tier cities, the brand value is relatively high, but it is not the case in third-and fourth-tier cities or even fifth-tier cities. Just price, design, space, then brand, workmanship, configuration and so on.

Sic Bo X35 has done very well in these aspects. Finally, the chassis is really good.
