Seeing the success of the Wuling car, BAIC can't sit still, and suzuki Big Dipper will be resurrected and put into production
All car brands understand that in recent years, China's auto market is ushering in consumption upgrades, more than a decade ago consumers did not have much car purchase funds, most of them are willing to choose small size and small displacement scooters, but now they are more inclined to choose large-size SUVs. It is precisely because of this trend that domestic independent brands are almost all piling up to create SUV products, ignoring those more practical models, but the emergence of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is obviously a face, the monthly sales of this car can even reach more than 45,000 units, becoming a super big hit, it seems that consumption downgrading and consumption upgrades coexist, because there are a large number of young people who have not yet bought a car, and the shopping cart funds in their hands are also relatively tight. Since there is a market for this kind of micro scooter, BAIC must secretly work hard.
To know that BAIC now has the Changhe brand, and Changhe and Suzuki is a close cooperative relationship, and now suzuki has withdrawn from the Chinese market, but left a lot of heritage for Changhe, a complete technical system, a complete production line chain, at any time can be put into production of suzuki products. Recently, there has been new news, the discontinued Changhe Suzuki Big Dipper star is about to be revived, and it is expected that it can be put into production at the Jiujiang production base in Jiangxi as soon as this year.
Big Dipper This product is a very classic Japanese Kcar, the total size of 3.4 meters does not exceed the Japanese standard, the wheelbase is only 2335mm, but the practicality is very strong, the use of 5 doors and 5 seats design, after compressing the engine compartment and rear trunk space, the front and rear seat space experience is not too narrow, at least adults sitting in the back row will not feel very depressed, space utilization is very high.
After Suzuki left, in the overseas market and updated the Big Dipper star model many times, now the appearance design has become more mainstream, but BEIQI Changhe certainly can not get a new design, the cooperation has been terminated, this resurrection can only use the old design, at most is to reproduce the appearance of the 2019 model. It is expected to be the classic square box style, the front of the car is biased by the heat dissipation module, with highly recognizable square halogen headlights, the roof will provide luggage rack decoration, and the rear trunk cover is almost a straight plate.
Looking back at the interior design of the Big Dipper, it is indeed very outdated, almost all of it is black with plastic texture, and the most advanced configuration on the center console is the radio. If Beiqi Changhe can add some necessary scientific and technological configurations this time, such as a large pad screen on the countertop and provide some basic music navigation functions, it will attract more young people's attention.
The powertrain is expected to be a classic 1.4-liter displacement engine, which is of course stronger than the K car limited 0.66-liter displacement engine in Japan, but without the support of the turbocharger, the maximum output of the old model 1.4-liter engine is only 97 horsepower, which is of course a very weak power, but it is enough for a miniature scooter with a total weight of very light, the key is a 4-cylinder engine, and the fuel consumption data can be maintained at 5.1 liters per 100 kilometers.
