Looking ahead at the Guangzhou Auto Show, I took a fancy to "these two" station wagons

In three days, the annual Guangzhou Auto Show will officially start again. So here comes the question: What are the highlights of this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show and which blockbuster models are there? Next, I will take everyone to warm up and warm up in advance (in no particular order).

BMW ix3

I believe everyone is familiar with the BMW iX3. The new car has been pre-sold at the Beijing Auto Show. The pre-sale range is 470,000-510,000 yuan, and this time in Guangzhou It will be officially launched at the auto show.

The new car is based on the BMW X3, and only uses closed components with lower wind resistance in the exterior part. The key part is that iX3 adopts BMW's fifth-generation eDrive power system, equipped with a 210kW motor with a peak torque of 400N·m, and the entire series uses rear-wheel drive. The acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is 6.8 seconds, and the cruising range of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 500km.

From a market perspective, what level is the BMW ix3 at? Seeking truth from facts, apart from the brand, it is very average. Especially compared with the domestic brands Weilai ES6 and BYD Tang Pure Electric, the product quality is clearly superior. However, the BMW ix3 is, after all, the first pure electric SUV launched by BMW in China. Even if it cannot cut leeks, it may still attract some BMW fans.

Volkswagen ID.4

Volkswagen ID.4 is the first mass-produced model of the Volkswagen ID series. Although it has been unveiled as early as November 3, it will be unveiled in Guangzhou this time. The auto show will bring more useful information to consumers.

The new car is built on the Volkswagen MEB platform and is positioned as a compact SUV, very close to the Tanyue in size. At the same time, it is equipped with a 150kW motor with a peak torque of 310N·m, a top speed of 160km/h, and a NEDC cruising range of 550km. From a market perspective, the product strength of ID.4 is still good, and its 550km battery life has reached an upper-mainstream level.

Currently, the first edition of ID.4 Yaoye has been pre-ordered, and the price after subsidies will not exceed 250,000 yuan. Judging from the feedback from netizens, the price seems to be barely acceptable. So at this Guangzhou Auto Show, will ID.4 bring the price of other versions? Let's wait and see!

Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e

The car will be officially launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show, so the price must be what everyone is most looking forward to. However, Land Rover's sales of new energy models are not generally bad, and although this car will further lower the threshold of Land Rover's new energy models, I am afraid it can only go through the motions.

The Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e is different from the previous pure electric models of Land Rover in that it is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T three-cylinder engine + electric motor. The 1.5T three-cylinder engine The maximum power is 147kW, the maximum power of the electric motor is 80kW, the peak torque is 260N·m, and it will be matched with an 8AT gearbox. According to official information, its comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 2L, which is about 74% lower than the fuel version. The NEDC pure electric cruising range is 54km.

Taken together, the biggest selling point of the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e is its fuel consumption. After all, Land Rover has always been at a disadvantage in this area. Of course, the premise is that in real life, it can really achieve a drop of about 74% compared to the fuel version, or at least the gap cannot be too big.

Focus Travel Edition

It is not difficult to find that domestic consumers are not very interested in station wagons. Even if they say how good station wagons are, there are still very few people who actually buy them. . But in the final analysis, it’s not that station wagons are bad, but that there are too few domestic choices.

The domestically produced Focus Travel is based on the overseas version of the Focus Active Wagon, but it has still made significant improvements in appearance to meet the needs of domestic consumers. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4678/1841/1555mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2705mm. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 174 horsepower and a peak torque of 243 Nm. The transmission system is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Focus Travel Edition will appear at the Guangzhou Auto Show this time. Not only will it be unveiled, but it will also be officially launched. Although the price is not yet known, judging from experience, its price-performance ratio will be very high. It should be slightly higher than the Focus Active, and it is expected to be about 10,000 yuan more expensive. Of course, whether the Focus station wagon can escape the fate of station wagons in China remains to be seen.

Volkswagen CC Hunting Edition

It must be said that although it is also a station wagon, the Volkswagen CC Hunting Edition has attracted much more attention than the Focus Travel Edition. After all, today’s Ford It can no longer be compared with the public.

The biggest selling point of the domestic Volkswagen CC hunting version must be its appearance - it comes with a cross-border package and is highly recognizable. The length, width and height of the new car reach 4869*1870*1459mm, and the wheelbase is 2841mm, which is slightly larger than the Volvo V60. Moreover, the frameless doors are also retained on the domestic CC hunting version. In terms of interior design, there is not much difference between the CC hunting version and the CC sedan version. It is still a typical Volkswagen style, but the steering wheel has been replaced with the latest style.

In terms of power, the CC hunting version will be equipped with the third-generation EA8882.0T high-power engine, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

In the current market, the 300,000-class station wagons are mainly Volvo V60, Audi A4 Avant and Mercedes-Benz CLA Hunting Edition. Compared with these three models, the pre-sales of CC Hunting Edition are The price has reached 280,000 yuan, which has no advantage, and its brand power is not as strong as that of luxury brands, so it may only be "feelings".

GAC Toyota Lingshang

Joint venture brands have never lacked good cars, but as the market becomes more saturated and increasingly segmented, joint venture brands are also feeling the pressure. . In the same way, consumers are also struggling with the problem of "difficulty buying a car" in such an environment.

However, GAC Toyota is currently trying to solve the problem of "difficulty in buying a car" for consumers, and plans to launch an A+-class sedan with a large space and a suitable budget - "Ling Shang". It will be built based on the TNGA-C platform and positioned as a mid-to-high-end sedan, higher than the Ralink and lower than the Camry. Its wheelbase length will reach 2750mm. At the same time, in terms of power, Lingshang will be equipped with a power combination equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine + WCVT gearbox, with a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 210N·m. It can be said to enjoy the power of a B-class car at the price of an A-class car. Dynamic performance.

At this Guangzhou Auto Show, "Ling Shang" will make its debut, so for more information about it, we will learn more about it after the Guangzhou Auto Show officially starts.

The new generation of Highlander

The new Highlander can be said to be one of the most attractive models at this Guangzhou Auto Show, not only because it has enough fans, And also because it does change dramatically.

The new Highlander is built on Toyota's TNGA-K platform, and its styling has a tougher design style than the current model. This is also the latest family design language for Toyota SUV models. In terms of power, the new-generation Highlander will most likely use two powertrains: a 2.5L hybrid model and a 2.5L self-priming engine. It is unknown whether the 2.0T model will be retained.

To be honest, no matter how the Highlander changes, it is still one of the most competitive products in its class, because it has been in that position for too long and it knows what consumers need. Therefore, at this Guangzhou Auto Show, everyone should go and observe its design to see if it is your cup of tea.

Changan UNI-K

"Domestic products should strengthen themselves." In recent years, domestic independent car companies have chosen to launch high-end series of models to demonstrate their determination to make breakthroughs in their brands, such as WEY and Lynk & Co. Although Changan Automobile came a step late, it can be said that its skills shocked everyone when it appeared on the scene.

UNI-K is the second new car of the Changan UNI family, so it will continue to use the iconic borderless air intake grille of the UNI family, and the entire front face has a strong sense of the future. In terms of size, the length, width and height of UNI-K are 4865/1948/1700 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2890 mm. It is positioned as a medium to large SUV. This size, in addition to being one head shorter than the Haval H9, has exceeded the Haval H9 in other parameters. In terms of power, UNI-K will be equipped with Changan's new generation Blue Whale 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 233 horsepower, and the transmission system is matched with an Aisin 8AT gearbox. In addition, some models will also provide timely four-wheel drive system.

I believe what many people are most concerned about is when will UNI-K be launched? It is a pity that it is not this Guangzhou Auto Show, and it is expected to be in the first half of next year at the earliest. However, if you are not in a hurry to buy a car, you must pay attention to UNI-K at this Guangzhou Auto Show, because it has many surprises to tell you.

Chery Arrizo 5? PLUS

When you saw this name, did you think that a new model of Arrizo 5 was coming? No, the new Arrizo GX has been officially renamed Arrizo 5Plus, which means that the current version of Arrizo GX will withdraw from the stage of history.

The biggest feature of this Arrizo 5Plus version is that it adopts a dual-face design (divided into two models, AB, to be launched at the end of the year). At the same time, it is not a simple modification of details, but two completely different styles. Facebook. The interior basically follows the interior style of the old Arrizo 5/GX, but only the details have been modified. In terms of power, Arrizo 5 Plus is expected to be equipped with two engines, 1.5L self-priming and 1.5T turbocharged, which can meet the needs of home transportation. The important thing is that these two power systems have good stability and reliability.

Chery is known as the “technology master” among independent brands, and this is not true at all. However, Chery seems to have not yet found its own path in design. It always makes changes, sometimes even worse than once. So, do you accept the way Arrizo GX has changed its face and name this time?

Conclusion

There are many interesting blockbuster models at this Guangzhou Auto Show, but I won’t go into details here to leave you with some suspense. The last thing I want to say is that after this auto show, there is only one month left in 2020, and each car company will also enter the final sprint stage at the end of the year, so who will have the last laugh? Or who are you most optimistic about next year? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
