Regardless of whether the condensed theme words are regret or excitement, 2021 is such a short two weeks left, of course, whether the wish list written at the end of last year should be counted by everyone.
However, for most car companies, 2021 is still quite exciting, material price increases + lack of cores make the procurement department nervous, and the new forces in the market are pressing step by step. The former is basically unsolvable, but the latter solution is still very clear, the best way to compete with the new forces is to become the appearance of the new forces, in the inventory summary of such products, the two cars talked about today absolutely understand the essence.
Changan Ford EVOS
In fact, Ford took the lead in opening a new round of evolution in the product, which can be seen from the new Fox family, but EVOS, a latecomer, has further sublimated the attributes of personalization and trend.
In order to emphasize the combination of product movement and trend setting, EVOS adopts the scheme of a coupe SUV, the sexy big slipback and the positioning of the medium-sized SUV to achieve a good expression of sports attributes, including large-size grille, split headlights and other elements, including the classic Ford design also achieves the icing on the cake in this regard.
Inside the cockpit, the Ford EVOS should be one of the few that can surpass the new power product camp. The meter-sized central control screen alone can show a strong technology atmosphere from the real picture, and the enhanced SYNC+2.0 system with high-speed Car Networking and Bang & Olufsen audio can also make this technology not only stay on the surface.
In terms of power system, the Ford EVOS, which is priced at 19.98-259,800 yuan, has achieved the configuration of the ecoBoost 2.0T series turbo engine + 8AT transmission in the whole series, which still has to be praised, after all, most of the time in order to reduce the price threshold, the OEM will use a high-low power collocation scheme. This engine can output up to 238Ps of power and 376N·m peak torque, zero hundred acceleration at about 6.6s, the performance is still quite powerful.
The finale focuses on the intelligent driving configuration, except for one entry-level model, the other three models are equipped with L2+ level auxiliary driving configurations, and the automatic parking options are given. Whether it is from the safety point of view or the use of attributes, there is no small product temptation.
Citroen Versailles C5 X
From the naming scheme, we can already see the Internet celebrity and personality temperament of Citroën's life-saving straw, although the original intention of the name is not so. Like the Ford EVOS, the Citroen Versailles C5 X adopts the positioning of a coupe SUV, but the wheelbase of the 2785mm is much smaller than the performance of the EVOS 2945mm, so it is necessary to converge on the visual effect.
But this does not mean that Versailles is not designed to be qualified. Whether it is designed on the front face or at the rear, there is no French romance left with a whimsical plan or a strong visual impact, split light groups, downward shifting grilles, raised tails and small tail wings and other configurations have made a certain interpretation of movement and trend, which is more resonant with young people than the previous product classic design.
The cockpit part is relatively conservative, the floating central control screen and the novel steering wheel design constitute the two major points of view on the center console, and the intelligent system embedded in the screen is also optimized for the likes of the Chinese. Of course, in addition, the design of the rest of the entire cockpit is still simple, and the geometric elements that the French love have been preserved to a certain extent, although there is still some gap with the new forces, but the personalization is already obvious.
In terms of power, the Versailles C5 X did not make much breakthrough, and the 1.6T engine with a maximum power of 129 kW is still the core, matching the Aisin 8AT transmission. The power is not strong, but the chassis adjustment is not to say, the blessing of the PHC system can make versailles driving texture beat many rival models. The L2 auxiliary driving function that began to appear from the sub-low-end model is also a good highlight to improve the cost performance, especially on the basis of 143,700-18.67 million yuan.
Taste of the car:
In a sense, the end of 2021 can only be regarded as a beginning, which refers to the evolution of traditional camp products in personalization and design thinking. In the upcoming 2022, there is reason to believe that more traditional camp products integrated into the concept of new forces will enter the market. In this way, we only need to wait and see how far this evolution can go, and we will wait and see.
