2021 is over in less than half a month, and this year, the majority of car companies have released many new cars under the condition of easing the epidemic, and the imported new cars have caused a lot of repercussions in the automotive circle.
Different from domestic and joint venture models, imported new cars generally tend to be performance cars and luxury models, and generally the number of models will choose domestic to reduce prices and increase sales; these imported models are not large on the one hand, on the other hand, these imported models need to "import" the identity to maintain their uniqueness and tone.
So what imported cars deserve our attention this year, and what are they special about?
The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class launched this year by the car inventor will further lead the trend in the automotive market. In ancient times, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been the boss of the same level, whether it is aura, comfort, space, technology Mercedes-Benz S-Class has always been perfectly integrated.
The biggest change of this generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class is to transform the classical beauty of the previous generation of S-Class into a scientific and technological aesthetic, and integrate technologies such as screen, AR-HUD, naked-eye 3D into the flagship car, refreshing people's understanding of the flagship car.
The design of this generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been controversial since its design release, should the Mercedes-Benz S-Class become so thorough? Compared with the W222 generation, the new generation of models will indeed be more lively, and the use of technology will be more extreme.
From the interior, it can be seen that the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class has completely abandoned the original classic luxury interior and used the concept of technological aesthetics.
Can the transformation from suits and shoes to technology experts be favored by Mercedes-Benz S-Class submariners? Many people say that Mercedes-Benz is designed for the aesthetics of 5 years later, with the current S-class equipment seems to be true, with the advancement of new energy vehicles, automotive technology has been developed at a high speed, as the leader of the automotive industry Mercedes-Benz's vision is naturally farther.
Oh, and don't forget, Mercedes-Benz has recently launched a more forward-looking EQS, priced at 1.0796-1.5186 million, which is an interpretation of Mercedes-Benz's understanding of the new layer of luxury.
SUPRA has made a name for itself because of the Fast and Furious movies, but in fact, in overseas markets, its 2JZ engine is already well-known in the tuning circle. In April this year, Toyota SUPRA officially announced the price, which means that the vehicle will be officially introduced to China.
In the case of a price of up to 626,000 yuan and a mark-up at the terminal dealer, there are still many JDM fans who pay for it, which shows the appeal of SUPRA in China.
Under the trend of global electrification, it is very rare for Toyota to relaunch the SUPRA, although it is in cooperation with BMW, and similarities with BMW can be found in many places, but it does not affect the love of Toyota fans. Coupled with the name SUPRA is enough to appeal, the emergence of SUPRA can enrich our current car market, I personally believe that the emergence of classic models can better help more fans understand the car culture, car history, enhance our understanding of the car.
The highlight of the emergence of this generation of SUPRA is that Toyota can adhere to the decision to launch pure fuel sports cars in the new energy era and Toyota's determination in automobile sports, and the decision to introduce China is believed to be very difficult, after all, under the restrictions of taxes, emissions and other regulations, even its GR 86 can only meet the national SIX a emissions can be seen that SUPRA is not easy.
At this year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Lotus brought the SOEIRA, which is known as "Lotus's last fuel car", and the models currently entering The country are equipped with 2.0T turbocharged engines, the engine comes from AMG, which can output 360Ps, 430N·m torque, with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, and competitors directly lock the Porsche 718.
Compared with the 718, EMIRA is more personality plus its identity as the "last fuel car of Lotus", some cars are not there once missed, and the favorite quick decision is king!
EMIRA can be seen as a spiritual sequel to Lotus's mid-engined sports car, Lotus's sports car has always been known for its extremes, the same is true for the 718, which is also a mid-engine, and the professor has not yet driven EMIRA, so it is impossible to evaluate its driving experience.
At the same time, I am very much looking forward to EMIRA's performance on the track, and at the same time, I am very much looking forward to lotus's layout in China to alleviate the pain of lotus users' after-sales and other accessories.
Geniseis is a high-end brand of Hyundai Group, which set its competitors on the BBA at the beginning of its establishment. In terms of the chassis of the G70 in China, the front double ball joint, the rear multi-link design is used, and the top model also has an electromagnetic suspension system, which is relatively rare in the same level.
According to previous test drives, the overall performance of the G70 is more like the BMW 3 Series of the E90 era, with a tight overall chassis and sports.
Compared with the BBA more and more comfortable orientation, the car will appear more maverick, for users who like niche sports cars, the G70 is a good choice for 300,000 sports luxury cars, plus the G70 is an imported car identity, in terms of quality will be more original.
From the price point of view, the car is similar to the Cadillac CT5, I believe that these two will become direct competitors, the two are also positioned in the movement, the price is similar and both are front-facing rear-drive layout, which of the two is better?
However, the car currently has fewer stores, while adopting a direct sales model, if it is a second- and third-tier city user in the later maintenance may be slightly troublesome, coupled with the emerging brand appeal compared to the old rivals will be slightly inferior.
The BMW M4 was officially launched at the Shanghai Auto Show in April this year, with a two-wheel drive version priced at 879,900 and a four-wheel drive version of 929,900. It is worth mentioning that the four-wheel drive version of the M4 can be electronically switched to the rear-drive mode, which also supports all the functions of the rear-drive car, so this car is still recommended to buy four-wheel drive.
The most controversial part of this generation of M4 is the appearance, the large nostrils of the front grille completely "liberate themselves", and the overall weight of the vehicle is heavier than that of the previous generation M4, although it has more horsepower and a stronger four-wheel drive, but it is difficult to say how much impact on the performance of the vehicle dynamics.
Judging from the previous test drive, the car's performance on the small track is not much different from the M4 model of the F series, and more powerful horsepower may need to be able to spread on the large track.
The highlight of the car is that it follows the four-wheel drive system of the previous generation M5, switching to the rear drive when wanting to spread joy, wanting to stabilize the lap speed can efficiently transmit power to the road through the four-wheel drive system, while the enhanced power can make up for the shortcomings of the vehicle weight, coupled with the improvement of the vehicle's cooling system, so that the vehicle will not be disturbed by temperature throughout the day in the track.
Like the petrol version, the Wrangler 4xe is also available in sahara and Robin Hood versions, the most important difference between which is that the Robin Hood model has a front and rear differential locks. Both are also equipped with a 2.0T engine + plug-in hybrid system, and the maximum power of the system is 276kW.
As we all know, the motor has a natural advantage over the gasoline engine in torque output, especially in the plateau area, the oxygen content is low, the overall output of the engine will be weaker than the plateau, and the motor is not affected, still strong.
Some people may be worried that this car has a pure electric endurance of only 55km, can it support the vehicle to complete the crossing? In fact, as long as the power retention mode is turned on, the intervention of the engine will increase, and there is no need to worry too much about the premature consumption of power and cause the vehicle to be in a state of power loss.
The highlight of the car is to broaden the vision of off-road enthusiasts, in the eyes of traditional off-road enthusiasts, off-road vehicles should be full of fuel smell, but it turns out that the off-road vehicles after "charged" will be stronger in terms of performance, and also refresh the prejudice of the electrical system in off-road capabilities.
The above is the imported new car that the professor found more interesting this year, and it can be seen from the product that the imported new car is basically a niche product, such as sports cars, off-road vehicles and top flagship cars, in fact, this is not to blame.
These cars from the beginning of the birth is the favorite of a small number of people, coupled with the Chinese market is one of the most critical markets in the world, many car companies will be the number of models through the introduction of joint ventures, thereby reducing the price and cost, and then to open up brand reputation.
