These Darth Vader style cars will make you fall in love at first sight!

Even though the body colors of today’s cars are quite rich, looking back on the era when China was new to cars, the colors of cars on the road were black, white, and gray. This is because in the 1990s, domestic official cars and Most of them are business cars, and private cars are not yet common, so the official colors of black and white have become common colors.

After entering the era of private cars, because people’s consumption levels have improved and they have higher requirements for life, various bright colors have become personalized manifestation. However, "plain colors" such as black and white are still the mainstream. According to an analysis of global automotive color proportions in 2017 by AXALT, a global automotive paint company, white and black still rank among the top.

The professor believes that the truth that "the only constant is always changing" is also very consistent with the evolution of the "black" series, because so far, there are countless black subdivisions of cars. Nowadays, black is no longer a symbol of seriousness and dullness. In the eyes of many young people, it is another kind of cool, that is, "Dark Warrior".

"Darth Vader" was first called Darth Vader, one of the protagonists of "Star Wars". Although he is a villain, his all-black dressing style is eye-catching. In recent years, "Dark Warrior" has crossed from behind the scenes of movies to reality and has become a trendy style. Many luxury brand designs have borrowed from it. What the professor appreciates more is that cars have also adopted this style, all black. The body of the car is simply cold and "lethal".

Even Mazda, a "tech geek", couldn't help it. In addition to its specialty "Soul Red", Mazda also launched an all-black CX-5 based on the CX-5 model. ?Kuro. Among them, "Kuro" is the pronunciation of black in Japanese. This car is completely black, with a special paint finish on the body and sportier 19-inch black alloy wheels.

Exclusive LOGOs are also added to details such as the front fenders and C-pillars to express a special identity.

The interior is originally black, but the Kuro logo is also attached next to the passenger air conditioning outlet to once again prove the identity.

This "blackened" CX-5 Kuro is equipped with an electric tailgate and interior ambient lighting. The price in France is 1,500 euros higher than the regular version (≈ 12,000 RMB). If the Kuro version is sold in China at the same price difference as the model, will Chinese consumers still be willing to spend 12,000 to choose the official specific version, or to modify the ordinary version with "Dark Warrior"?

Not only Mazda can play, many brands have also launched similar models, such as the recent Honda new car-Haoying. Haoying is Guangben's newly launched compact SUV, and it is a "sister model" with Dongben CR-V. However, the later Haoying is much more stunning in design than CR-V, including the addition of all-black appearance options.

Haoying's "Dark Warrior" version is also very straightforward. In addition to the black body, it also adds black wheels. In addition, Haoying also launched a two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive Phantom Night Edition model, with the wheel size upgraded to 19 inches and replaced with multi-spoke wheels.

The two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive Magic Night model is respectively 10,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan more expensive than the model with a lower configuration. Among them, the two-wheel drive model has a difference in configuration, while the four-wheel drive is only The difference in appearance. The professor felt that the price difference was acceptable. After all, it cost more than 3,000 yuan to get the exterior film.

The Audi Q2L is a small SUV designed to fill a market segment, targeting the same young group. Therefore, the "Dark Warrior" style seems more appropriate on it. However, Q2L does not launch an additional all-black appearance model. Instead, among the two models with black wheels, a black body is still available.

Including the launch exclusive version (218,800 yuan) and the fashionable and dynamic version (238,400 yuan). Both of them can choose black in appearance, and come standard with 18-inch black wheels. and sports appearance packages, while the stylish dynamic model is equipped with sports-style seats.

The exclusive version and the fashionable and dynamic version are respectively 11,100 yuan and 1,800 yuan more expensive than the lower-end models. Both have richer configurations than the lower-end models, with the focus on Q2L. It has a good market discount, so it has the blessing of "Dark Warrior" style. The professor still thinks it is a good choice for young people.

If you want to say who is the blackest, it must be this BMW X6. BMW made its domestic debut at the 2019 Guangzhou Auto Show. The Vantablack version of the BMW X6 is the same as the ordinary BMW X6 in appearance, but the body color is different. Vantablack? VBx2 non-reflective coating used in the aviation field is used.

The highlight of the Vantablack version is not only that it is black, but that it is also very technological, because this material can absorb more than 99% of visible light, with a light reflectivity of only 1%. The 3D stereoscopic effect is very strong and understandable at the same time. Because it basically does not reflect light; the only presence is the chrome-plated "big pig nose" and the front and rear light groups, which makes it difficult for the professor to imagine what it looks like at night.

Of course, models with Vantablack appearance have not yet been officially sold. If BMW will provide it as an optional color for its models in the future, the professor believes that BMW is the most successful one in playing "Dark Warrior".

However, this style is not only exclusive to the official. Even though many models on sale do not have an all-black appearance, car owners who are keen on this style like to modify and build it themselves, regardless of brand or model. Positioning, "Dark Warrior" style has become a mainstream.

In fact, the development of the industry can be seen from the changes in car colors. From the black, white and gray era when the number of cars was initially small and the colors were single, to the colorful personalization after the popularity of cars. Reflecting the increasing number of car consumers, manufacturers are also creating more exterior colors for them to choose from.

Black color has also gradually expanded from a single category to more detailed classifications, and then consumers use black to create a "Dark Warrior" style, which is also a reflection of industry progress. The youth-oriented Audi Q2L and Honda Haoying, as well as luxury brands such as BMW that also play the "Dark Warrior" style, are proving that this is the "dish" of young people.
