The new Beijing X7 cancels the manual transmission, equipped with rich technology + large space, and is priced at 114,900 yuan
Among the many independent car brands, the performance of BAIC Motor in recent years can only be said to be decent, Beijing X7 is an important product layout of the brand in the SUV market, and the current sales performance is also tepid. In order to improve this state, the brand has made a facelift upgrade to it, and the 2022 Beijing X7 officially appeared in front of the public. A total of five models were introduced, eliminating the original manual transmission and equipped with a 1.5T engine.
While following the design language of the old model, the shape is adjusted to the details, young fashion is the main tone, and the bulging rib lines on both sides of the hood add a sense of strength to the front face. The large-size grille is equipped with a new style, the shape is simple, the surface has a raised decoration like a wavy pattern, and a circle of paint panels are dotted around, the overall visual effect is not bad, but it is not difficult to find that the detailed design workmanship needs to be improved.
The sharply shaped headlight set is joined together by metal bars to help enhance the overall texture, and the lower bracket belongs to the conventional design. The overall feeling is not bad, the body side shape is simple and generous, it is a typical SUV, the body surface has added a lot of chrome metal strips, especially in the metal panels around the window, which contrasts with the color of the paint, and the visual effect will be more unique.
The roof is a common suspension design, and the tilt angle of the D-pillar is relatively large, which weakens the bulky feeling of the rear. The lower part of the door forms a recessed profile. Above the front and rear eyebrows, there is a significant outward bulge, which embellishes the body shape even more. The shape of the eyebrows is more rounded, and the contrast wheels are exquisite. The hidden design of the door handle helps to optimize the drag coefficient of the body.
The through-type taillights widen the rear of the car horizontal visual effect, and the interior of the light cavity on both sides is inlaid with columnar light strips, which are like energy bands after lighting. Bridge-shaped chrome metal strips have been added under the strips, and it is not difficult to see from these details that the brand wants to enhance its luxurious and exquisite feelings, and I personally feel that if there are too many, it will have a counterproductive effect. Overall, there is nothing wrong with this set of design languages, but it is not easy to stand out in the same class of models, and it can only be said that it is decent and in line with the positioning of its own family models.
The interior design of the new Beijing X7 has not changed much, the design style is mainly simple, and the dual screen adds a sense of technology to the interior, which is also the popular design language at present. It will not make people shine, it can only be said that the mainstream configuration is just that, and the location of the double screen forms a recessed surface. The shift zone is connected to a touch panel in front of it to adjust some comfort features. The visual effect is good, but it is not convenient to blindly control. In addition, the surface of these screens is also easy to leave fingerprints and fall dust, affecting the aesthetics and requiring the owner to clean it regularly. The flat-bottom steering wheel helps to enhance the sporty atmosphere of the interior, and the steering wheel of the high-end model is equipped with touch buttons.
In addition to the entry-level model, the new Beijing X7 supports Huawei HiCar, which is still very good and more in line with the needs of young people. Driving space performance in line with its own positioning, as an everyday family car has no problem, in terms of power is still equipped with a 1.5T engine, but equipped with electronic gear handle, in the visual effects and the actual control experience have risen, power output can meet the needs of the family, driving experience is biased towards calm and comfortable.
In addition to eliminating the manual transmission model, the new model has also added a new sub-top model with a richer comfort configuration. Its price range is between 11.49-14.99 million yuan, on the whole, the comprehensive strength of Beijing X7 is still balanced, but it can not find too many highlights, coupled with the increasingly fierce competition in the domestic automobile market, the brand influence of Beijing Automobile is general, and this time after the upgrade, it has once again improved its own cost performance. However, there are still many places that need to be improved, and for it and the brand, there is still a long way to go in the future, and it still faces great challenges.
