Although the new year is new, the world is particularly harsh on the emergence of new things. Especially in the automotive industry. In the face of hundreds of new cars on the market every year, how to find the car that suits you is indeed a problem.
In fact, in the face of a new car from the moment you press the ignition button, whether the sound wave, steering wheel, gear lever, moderate throttle brake foot feeling can make the cells in your body excited, this is the greatest respect for a car, but also the choice you yearn for in your heart.
Today, "Uncle Zhong Driving Road" selected six of the most test-driven models in 2022, each of which can awaken the most primitive driving desire.
Autonomous sedan: Changan UNI-V
At a time when domestic demand is still the mainstream, the joint venture brand sedan with brand effect and word-of-mouth blessing still firmly occupies most of the market share in the car market. However, the rise of labels such as young, sporty and exquisite has made independent brand cars another way and found the possibility of competing for joint venture cars.
Personality sports and home practicality, exquisite high quality and cost control are two opposing needs, but independent brands are particularly good at integrating the two. Therefore, you can see the sharp MG 6, the famous Lynk & Co 03, the late Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, and the up-and-coming Wind God Dark Night Yixuan MAX is shining in the market, continuing to release the unique advantages of autonomous cars. Therefore, if you want to select the most test-driven model in 2022, the Changan UNI-V with the same attributes must have a vote.
Before the advent of UNI-V, the Changan car series was almost rarely linked to pure performance, but the arrival of UNI-V aroused most people's interest. An A+ class five-door hatchback Coupe model, is the first of the Chinese brand, Changan UNI-V design has its own unique charm, especially the liftable electric rear wing, is definitely the only one in the same level, the sense of grade and ceremony is instantly full, no one should have the idea of refusing to drive.
In terms of dynamic performance, UNI-V is also a must, early understanding of the consultation, all the new car on the control of the project are on the track by professional engineers after tuning and optimized, just to retain the maximum control fun for consumers. In addition, the new car is equipped with the original anti-tilt reinforcement bar, DTV dynamic vector control technology to enhance the performance of the corner, while a key can enter the SUPER RACE track mode, a variety of configurations of the installation, people can't wait to spread wild in the pleasant sound of the original factory, feel the most primitive human pursuit of speed.
Autonomous SUV: Chery OMODA5
The autonomous SUV market has been highly involuted, in order to maintain or compete for market share, each company has pulled out the bottom of the pressure box in 2021. Some fully popularize hybrid technology, some advocate black technology blessing, all kinds of face recognition, face monitoring, quasi-L3 level driver assistance system fully decentralized, some simply bigger and cheaper, to compete in the market with cost performance, Chery is no exception.
In 2021, Chery continued to strengthen the label of the technical house, especially in the field of powertrain, announced the self-developed ACTECO 2.0TGDI engine, and released the hybrid configuration DHT. With the launch of new technologies, Chery has gradually gained market recognition, among which the Xingtu series models have achieved year-on-year sales growth for 13 consecutive months, with cumulative sales of 26,850 vehicles from January to November. The cumulative sales of the Tiggo 8 family from January to November 142411.
Chery OMODA5 debuted at the Guangzhou Auto Show, why choose it as the most anticipated independent SUV in 2022, on the one hand, its design breaks through Chery's previous face value level, very scientific and technological, on the other hand, it is equipped with a power system worth looking forward to.
At present, the industry speculates that the early OMODA5 will be equipped with a Kunpeng powered 1.6TGDI engine, with a maximum power of 197 horsepower and a peak torque of 290 Nm. However, the decentralization of the pure electric and hybrid versions of the follow-up new car will inevitably improve the texture of the whole vehicle again. As the first mid-size SUV model after the evolution of Chery 4.0 products, the capital of Chery OMODA5 is the foundation of Chery's trustworthy three major pieces of word-of-mouth, as well as a breakthrough overall design.
Joint venture car: FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius
I don't know whether it is the weakening of product strength or the lack of core caused by the impact, Sagitar as a market segment ivy also suffered a lot of decline in 2021. The data shows that the cumulative sales of Sagitar from January to November 212128 vehicles, down 37.99% year-on-year and 21.96% month-on-month.
Fortunately, at the 21st Guangzhou Auto Show, the mid-term redesign of sagitar's new debut, which should not have attracted great attention, was inexplicably expected. In the past, Sagittarius was sought after by consumers with its large space and advantages in handling. Today's Sagittarius has only made one redesign, but this time the revamp is very thorough, the appearance, interior and even the power are redesigned.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the new Passat's same dot-type Star Radiance grille, and the grille under the perimeter is blackened throughout the treatment, you will find that whether it is the line of the whole car or the small design in the details, Sagittarius is no longer like the boring matryoshka dolls of the past, which arouses the desire to touch the new car.
The interior is also the same, greatly changed, the new family-style semi-suspension design language, equipped with ID. family of the same 12-inch central control screen, human-computer interaction is more convenient. The overall style has also changed from low-key and stable before to technological refinement, and it tends to be more youthful and dynamic. The new car is the first in the domestic market to build the EA211 1.5T engine, matching the classic DSG dual-clutch transmission, which can improve fuel economy while ensuring power output.
Joint venture SUV: Toyota bZ4X
With Toyota's technical reserves in the field of new energy, playing pure electricity is really not a problem. However, starting with the bZ4X, Toyota has officially opened a new era of electric vehicles, which is one of the reasons why it is most worth looking forward to.
100% reduction of the concept car, the special-shaped steering wheel, the rear space of the 1000mm D-Class, and the driving pleasure developed with Subaru. Almost every electric car you can think of should have something bZ4X has to offer. Based on this, not only individuals, but also the entire industry want to see what real cars look like.
However, putting aside the price to say that the car is a hooligan, the bZ4X recently announced the price in the UK market. Four models are available at the price of 41,950-51,550 pounds (about 359,000-441,200 yuan). As a medium-sized pure electric SUV based on the e-TNGA concept BEV exclusive platform, under the blessing of so many exclusive configurations, the price of bZ4X is not high, if it can maintain a price similar to overseas, coupled with the subsidies of domestic new energy vehicles, the explosion is just around the corner.
Luxury car: SAIC Audi A7L
SAIC Audi, coupe, A7 successor model, domestic, just these four points, A7L is destined to become the luxury car market next year's luxury car market car segment is expected.
The new Audi A7L has been gaining momentum since its debut, but its launch has always provoked a huge response among some A7 fans. They believe that the domestically produced A7 has no soul, and the changes to lengthen and cancel the slip and tail are not popular. But I think the new Audi A7L is more like a coupe than the A7 in terms of product strength.
Luxury car users with a better budget also have more requirements for cars, hoping that the vehicle will provide a new luxury experience that combines comfort and sport. So in addition to the small problem of lengthening, which is slightly Chinese characteristics, the new Audi A7L perfectly interprets the flagship style of the C+ performance executive car through several characteristics.
For example, the former A7 did not have four-wheel drive and no air suspension, and the mechanical quality of only 2.0T front-drive could not meet the needs of today's consumers. But now these are all available on the new Audi A7L. For example, the new Audi A7L is equipped with a 3.0TFSI V6 engine and a 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission, which accelerates from 100 kilometers in about 5.5 seconds, and is equipped with a 48V light hybrid system, which has both performance and performance advantages. For example, the combination of the only active air suspension in the same class and the DAWS dynamic all-wheel steering system, coupled with quattro four-wheel drive technology, the new Audi A7L really began to shift to coupe and performance.
Luxury SUV: Cadillac LYRIQ
Luxury SUV competition is becoming more and more fierce, whether it is fuel or new energy, you can find new things in luxury car companies, far from it, the nearest domestic version of BMW X5L is quite expected. After all, with the arrival of domestic X5L, the advantages of new cars will be further expanded, not only to achieve an increase in space and comfort, but also to further explore the price and compete with competitors with higher cost performance.
But why didn't I choose the most anticipated model, because at a quick glance at the Guangzhou Auto Show, Cadillac's LYRIQ impressed me even more. If in the past, second-tier luxury brands were nothing more than a strategy to hit low prices, but the signal released by Cadillac LYRIQ this time was very positive and friendly.
There are too many highlights of LYRIQ created from the pure electric platform Aoteneng, and the 33-inch 9K picture quality retina curved screen in the entire front face light group and the interior part are eye-catching enough. The ultra-650KM endurance and large body size make the product quality of this car comparable to the pure electric products of BBA.
