Hongqi's first MPV model, code-named C095, will be in trial production in the first quarter of this year and is expected to be officially launched in the second half of the year. After the new car was exposed at the end of last year, in fact, the car spy photos began to appear continuously, and more details about the new car began to be gradually presented. Recently, a group of red flag MPV spy photos were exposed again.
At present, the real car is still in the camouflage test stage, but the contours and some details of the front face are basically clear, and the tall straight waterfall type mid-grid grille design is very thick and domineering, and the aura is not lost to Alpha. Wide chrome trims will also be used on both sides of the central mesh, and like the Hongqi H9, there will be strips of light on the chrome trim pieces.
However, unlike the H9, from the details of the coverage of the camouflage sticker, the upper part of the new car's split light group should only be responsible for the daily running light and turn signal functions, while the near and far light groups will be placed in the lower part. Through the front windshield can see some details in the car, it is obvious to see the suspended central control screen on the center console, the second row of seats not only the side wing support shape of the headrest and very obvious, the support shape on both sides of the seat back is also very obvious.
In the side part, in addition to the door handle of the sliding door and the front door are through-style, this time the spy photo can see that the chrome trim strip on the lower edge of the window has an upward shape on the B pillar, and the previously exposed spy photo The camouflage sticker that is higher than the position of the previously exposed spy photo will give people a corresponding solution. In addition, the position of the D pillar and the rear side window is still a large area of camouflage stickers, but this time it can be seen that the chrome trim in the lower part of the rear side window is located on the lower side of the sliding door slide, and the camouflage that connects with the camouflage test sticker in the rear is a slightly elevated shape, referring to the previous red flag LS7, it is expected that the D column will have a large area of chrome or silver decoration.
At present, many brands of MPV new cars are seeking breakthroughs in side design so that they are not too similar to the traditional impression of vans, of which Alpha's wide inclined B-pillar shape should be the most successful. Therefore, the first MPV of this Hongqi is also expected to add a sense of design in the side part.
The overall outline of the rear part of the car and the shape of the taillights have also been basically presented, the roof tail wing shape is very prominent, the taillight shape is very designed, in addition to the upper part of the through-type shape, the two sides are vertical modeling, in addition to the horizontal through-type chrome trim, the interior of the outer part of the two sides of the light group also has a C-shaped chrome trim.
According to the new car previously exposed, the new car on the market will be equipped with the third-generation 2.0T engine model CA4GC20TD-35, which will be matched by an 8AT transmission. It is also expected to carry the power of the 3.0T. Referring to the current domestic MPV market, the first MPV model of this Hongqi is expected to be in the price range of 300,000-500,000, which will be the strongest competitor of the Buick GL8 and Toyota Xena joint venture models.
