Seeing that the new year is getting closer and closer, the good news around me is coming one after another. However, recently in the domestic automotive industry, there are 2 pieces of good news, one by one, it is very happy, see which one you like the most?
The first piece of good news comes from the Lee brand
Speaking of smart, it is a miniature car owned by Mercedes-Benz and introduced into China in the form of parallel imports. It has a two-seat and four-seat layout, and a small body makes it extremely easy to drive. Therefore, it is very suitable for some cities with narrow roads and inconvenient parking.
Unfortunately, at present, Mercedes-Benz smart has been completely discontinued in China. This means that no matter how much consumers like it, they can no longer buy a new model. The good news is that Geely gives us hope. In fact, as early as last year, it was reported that Geely wanted to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz and localize the smart model and launch its electric version.
In this way, Geely can be said to have pulled this emotional car back to the market. And after localization, it is expected that its price will also be greatly explored, for domestic consumers, it can be described as double happiness, joy on the door. It is reported that the car will be based on the Geely SEA vast architecture to build, is expected in the second half of 2022, will be officially put into the market, are you very happy?
The second piece of good news comes from the Chang'an brand
At present, it has entered the middle of January 2022, 2021 has become a thing of the past, for last year's annual automobile sales ranking, I believe everyone has also understood. Many netizens are surprised by Chang'an's performance. After all, with a good result of 1.75 million vehicles in the whole year, it is firmly on the top of its own brand sales. Geely, in second place, sold 1.328 million units.
Of course, there is a lyric that sings well: "No one can succeed casually", and the same is true for a car brand. The reason why Changan Automobile has been able to achieve such great success, in my opinion, may have made more efforts behind it, while giving brand energy to each model, but also at a fair price. In this way, consumers are willing to pay for it.
For example, its recent launch of the Changan Auchan X7 Plus. In terms of specifications, it has clearly achieved the standard of medium size, but it is quite modest in itself, calibrated as a compact SUV, the starting price is only 7.99W, even if it is a top model, it is only 13.39W, which naturally becomes a "popular SUV". So, for this Changan Auchan X7 Plus, what are the highlights it has? Let's summarize and introduce it to you.
Highlight one: the appearance of the aura is sufficient, do not lose the 40W class luxury car
If you stand in front of this car and feel its appearance with your heart, it is difficult to imagine that this is a 7W multi-starting model, and the front face, while mature and stable, also reveals young fashion. On the side of the body, it is a slender atmosphere and extraordinary momentum. Overall, there is even a luxury car style, even with some 40W BMW X3 or Audi Q5L, its aura is still strong enough.
Highlight two: the space that crosses the level
For domestic consumers, whether it is a house or a car, they often like a large space. Why not be able to buy a model with more space at the same price? Therefore, although it is a compact SUV, its body size is destined to have an extraordinary performance. After all, for SUVs of this class, the body length is usually 4.4 to 4.6 meters, and the wheelbase is 2.6 to 2.7 meters. For the Changan Auchan X7 Plus, its 4730mm length and 2786mm wheelbase are obviously far beyond this range. Therefore, for its rear space performance, it is naturally more decent, and it seems to be lacking in "spacious", and I think it is more appropriate to use "luxury" to describe it.
Highlight 3: Two power options, with 8 seconds of speed
Power, it is equipped with 1.5T power throughout the series, after different adjustments, there are two versions of power output, for the entry of the three models, is a low-power version, the price range is: 7.99 ~ 9.39 million yuan. With 170 hp and a peak torque of 260 Nm, it is matched with a 6MT gearbox, making it easy to satisfy everyday household use.
Of course, it also has a high-power version, which is the Blue Whale 1.5T model. The maximum horsepower is 188 hp, the peak torque is 300 Nm, and in terms of transmission, it matches the wet dual-clutch transmission of the German Getrag 7DCT300, and the price range is 9.39 to 133,900 yuan. This powertrain has a very aggressive performance, with zero hundred acceleration in 8.23 seconds. Not only is it explosive, but it is also quite heeled for the secondary acceleration of the middle and rear sections, at the same time, its steering wheel is small, the pointing is precise, and there is a wealth of driving pleasure.
Highlight 4: Equipped with a number of industry-first functions
It is not only equipped with the industry's first: flexible subframe, space getaway chair, Baby in car child care mode, but also equipped with the "AGILE Agile" air diversion type efficient ultra-clean combustion system, which can provide pure, high-quality fresh air for passengers in the car anytime, anywhere.
Highlight 5: The user-friendly configuration is outstanding
It is equipped with the "clairvoyance" and "downwind ear" function, not only rare at the same level, but also quite practical, the owner of the car through the mobile phone APP, stay at home can understand the situation of the car and the surrounding dynamics anytime and anywhere. At the same time, its APA 5.0 version of the one-click intelligent parking function, both safe and practical, for novice or female drivers, has a fairly humane performance.
Through the introduction of Changan Auchan X7 plus, it is not difficult to find that it does have a good product competitiveness, and it is well deserved for its title of "popular SUV". So, for Changan and Geely, which brand do you prefer? Let's talk about why.
