【Pacific Auto Network New Car Channel】What cars do young people like? This is a topic that major car companies have been studying. With the post-90s and post-00s people constantly entering the society, the consumer group that buys a car is also constantly getting younger, and the overall consumption concept is very different from the past. Maverick, self-sufficiency and other characteristics, but also become the purpose of young people's car selection, it can be said how handsome how to come. However, in addition to handsomeness, sports, handling and other performance aspects, there is also potential for modification, and it is also the point that young consumer groups value when buying cars.
After entering 2022, which cars have mastered the traffic code for young people? The author has roughly selected 10 cars, whether they can buy them or not, whether they can afford to buy them, I believe that young people should like them. If you have anything to add, you may wish to let you know in the comments section.
The first to appear is the JDM faction!
Toyota GR 86
BRZ are pre-sold 86 will it be far away?
The Toyota 86 has always been a very fun car, and the modification potential is also very huge. Rear-drive, manual transmission, 231 horsepower, although the performance is not as fast as the cattle, but the handling is absolutely superb. Entering 2022, 86 also has a GR bonus, and the official has confirmed that it will be introduced into The country. After all, BRZ has been pre-sold, GR86 page to grasp ah!
In terms of appearance, although the new car as a whole is more similar to the new BRZ, but there are obvious differences in details, which benefit from the new design language, more dynamic and fashionable than the previous generation, of which the front face is equipped with a larger area of The Functional MATRIX grille, embedded in a number of black honeycomb grilles; and the two side headlight groups also use a new style, smoked black background color with "J" type LED daytime lights, the overall more impactful. In addition, the front surround of the new car is also equipped with a "true" deflector design, in addition to dissipating heat for the brakes, but also to further improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle.
Many people think that the most attractive place of a sports car is its tail, which Toyota has done very well, the tail of the new GR 86 is very smooth, the wheel arch design has a strong sense of strength, and the overall shape is very forward-thrusting and hidden. In terms of details, the C-type taillights that echo the headlights seem to make the whole car look like an "Aston Martin", but the large-caliber exhaust from the two sides below tells you that this is still an 86.
Entering the car, the new car adopts a new interior design, which is more simple than the current model, and the driver-centered dashboard has added a lot of technology configuration, of which the new LCD dashboard is divided into three areas, the center is the tachometer + speedometer, and the right side is the water temperature meter and oil level, the left side is the G-value meter; the 8-inch central control screen on the side has joined the Starlink infotainment system, and has remote interconnection, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM and other features.
In addition, the new car retains the traditional air conditioning panel under the central control, and integrates the air conditioning display into the physical knob, while below it is a row of switches that resemble aviation buttons.
Toyota says the new BRZ is currently the lightest 2+2 production sports car on the market, with a mass of less than 1315kg, all thanks to aluminum alloys on the roof, front fenders and hood, as well as the new chassis mounting system, where the subframe architecture and other connection points as well as the chassis have been reinforced to increase its torsional strength by 50%.
Editor's Comments:
To adapt to the global trend of vehicle electrification and intelligence, Toyota's electrification transformation is also an inevitable process, but it will certainly not be radical, and it will definitely require a transition process. Therefore, in a short period of time, fuel vehicles are still an important proportion of Toyota's global sales. With more electric vehicles entering the country, most fuel car enthusiasts of course also hope that Toyota can also introduce more fuel vehicles with special attributes at the same time, and the GR86 is a good example. When will you see the introduction of GR YARiS, GR Corolla, or even the new generation of Land Cruiser?
Honda CIVIC Type-R
The strongest Type-R driving enthusiast car ever
Under the camouflage car, several identification points are still exposed in front of everyone. First of all, it is not surprising that the Civic Type R is based on a hatchback model. The oversized rear wing, slightly exaggerated rear wing, and the three-out end pipe in the center of the rear bumper all have something in common with the previous generation version.
After all, the Tokyo Modified Auto Show is not the premiere of the Mass Production Edition of the Civic Type R, which means that the prototype test car is basically still on the scene. And Honda said that there will still be special camouflage on the car, and it will not appear in a completely undisguised state, and the time for the real mass production version of the new car to be accurately released next year has not yet been determined. However, the original factory has revealed that the 11th generation Civic Type R will be the most powerful version ever.
In the interior part, the new car is equipped with an LCD dashboard and a three-spoke multi-functional sports steering wheel with a red LOGO, and the shape of the center console is still dynamic, with a manual mechanical shift lever, making the new car have a strong sporty style.
The flatter design does make the new Generation Civic more combat-ready, and the exaggerated forward grille and rear spoiler make the eleventh-generation Civic TYPE R look sportier and more performant. In the past, the domestic Civic "players" could only experience the charm of TYPE R through the modification of the aftermarket, and the introduction of Type-R also made up for this regret, presumably it was also the last carnival of the Honda fuel era! There is a saying that it is definitely a value preservation artifact, with a budget on hand, fast rush!
Nissan Z
Who said that high-horsepower supercars are only made in Europe and the Americas
Although there is no clear news to confirm that Nissan Z will enter the domestic market, we opened the official website of Nissan China and were shocked to find that Nissan Z was placed in the most conspicuous big picture position, which made people reverie.
The front face adopts the rectangular grille of the classic Z series models, and the body sides present a unique posture of elegance and movement. In addition, the sports model will be equipped with 18-inch rims, while the performance model will be equipped with 19-inch rims.
Judging from the exposed real picture, the new car adopts a dark interior design, and does not use the color scheme of the double color block in the official picture, but the vehicle is still equipped with a large LCD dashboard and a central control screen. From the previous news, it was learned that the sports version of the model will be equipped with an 8-inch central control screen, while the performance version of the model will be a 9-inch central control screen, but it is still difficult to distinguish by the naked eye alone.
In recent years, the rapid development momentum of Japanese sports cars, but also gradually have a trend of revival, for the love of performance cars, small sports cars players, is definitely good news. If the new Nissan Z sports car can also be successfully introduced, it will definitely cause a big sensation, young people must buy one, do not care about the long time, only care about the past. However, the 3.0T V6 engine is difficult to introduce smoothly.
GUANGQI Honda Fit Unlimited Mugen Modified Edition
The cheapest Mugen that young people in the country can buy!
Mugen Motorsports, whose full name is Mugen Motorsports, was founded in 1973 by Hirotoshi Honda, the eldest son of Soichiro Honda, and Nobuhiko Kawamoto, who later became president of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Mugen is an extremely passionate brand, which literally means unlimited in Japanese, which means the infinite pursuit of performance modification and motorsport, and since its inception, it has continuously contributed to the transformation of the race and set out to build the best racing engine in Japan.
So The Mugen can also be understood as Honda's official high-performance modification brand, which also has an extraordinary status among JDM enthusiasts, so it is often quite expensive, and the Fit Mugen may be the cheapest Mugen model you can buy.
Domestic Honda Fit will be divided into Chao Pao Pro and Chaoyue Max two series, just the tide run Pro corresponding to the standard version of fit can be further exerted in sportiness, the upcoming 2022 listed Fit Unlimited Edition not only provides consumers with better choices, but also the unlimited Mugen brand in the domestic popularity has made a good start, I hope Honda can take this opportunity to make the car personalization further penetrate into the hearts of Chinese consumers.
Tesla Model Q
There is no real car exposure for the time being, but it is very worth looking forward to
Tesla will launch an entry-level electric car rumors have been circulating for a long time, according to overseas media revealed, Tesla's new compact car or has made substantial progress, do not rule out that it has been built prototype.
The new car is expected to be priced at around $25,000 (about 159,200 yuan), or the Tesla Model 2 or Model Q, which will be produced at the Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai. We can also see a large number of false renderings on the Internet, and we can also see how much everyone expects from it.
Musk once said that Tesla wants to popularize electric vehicles, then the popularization of naturally needs low-cost models to achieve, this difficult task naturally falls on the Model Q, its competitor will be the Volkswagen ID.3, and it will be like the ID.3, is a hatchback.
Judging from the latest hypothetical drawings, the Model 2 still continues some of the designs of the Model 3, such as the contour of the new car and the dynamic low wind resistance design. But we found that the lights were no longer the model 3 design, and the fog lights had become vertical, and the large rim would make the car look more sporty.
It is reported that the Model 2 will use a more powerful, safer and cheaper new battery, they will be about 35% smaller than the traditional battery, storing and releasing more power. Of course, autopilot assist can still be installed on the Model 2, and this function will be exactly the same as other Tesla models. As for when this car will be launched, foreign media predict that it will be 2023, but it will take some time until it is actually launched.
From Tesla's construction of a factory in Shanghai to the sharp reduction in the price of the domestic Model 3, it is undoubtedly another impact on traditional car companies. But as the Model Q gradually approaches, the price of 150,000 and the long endurance believe that it is the real threat. Let's wait for the official announcement of this car.
Smart Genie #1
The largest Smart ever
On the side of the car, in order to have the largest possible riding space, the new car shortened the length of the front and rear overhangs, and its length, width and height dimensions were 4290/1910/1698mm, and the wheelbase reached 2750mm. The roof features a suspended ring design that further emphasises the sportiness of the new car through a seamless connection to the windshield and windows, paired with a unique 21-inch rim.
The design of the new car's rear-through light strip is similar to the Mercedes-Benz EQ series, and when lit up, it presents a brilliant visual effect of the galaxy.
The opening and closing of the doors adopts the form of a double door, with a design without B-pillars, which can form a very open interior space when the doors are opened. In addition, on the white body of the new car, the user can control the full invisible door handle through gestures, and the light prompts the user to operate, which is also a more digital display of the future intelligent car.
In the central control operation interface, the new car adopts the "geometric polyline" UI/UX user interface and interactive design style to create a "smart universe" intelligent human-computer interaction system. The user can issue specific commands through the voice summoning screen (Avatar), and the avatar can also continuously learn to adapt to user behavior during use.
In the power part, the new car will be built based on a new generation of pure electric architecture platform, and the cruising range of the model on the platform under the WLTP conditions is about 430km.
With the trend of electrification, various brands are colorful in this direction. Genie #1's mass-produced version of the model, designed by Mercedes-Benz and developed by Geely, broke through the product categories that the smart brand was good at in the past, and the marketing network was also re-laid. It can be said that this is a brand new smart, and from the concept car, the appearance is also very young and cute. Is that still the smart you're familiar with? Let's re-acquaint ourselves.
MINI COOPER S Pure Electric Edition
The face value is still online
Judging from the pictures, the front of the new car still retains the iconic round headlights of the MINI family, the front grille is changed to a closed shape and adopts the same color design of the body, while the design of the bumper is simpler, and another change is that the front cover does not cover the headlights in its entirety like previous generations, but only half of it is covered on the headlights.
The body contour ratio is basically the same as that of the current MINI model on sale, while the new car still adopts the design of the suspended roof, which seems to be more compact than the current model, and the front suspension is shorter. In the rear part of the car, the tail lights are a new design, the elements are more radical, the changes are more obvious, and from the Cooper S logo at the rear, we confirm the identity of the new car as a pure electric version of the MINI.
In the interior part, you can see that there is a huge circular screen in the middle of the dashboard, there is a heads-up display, the dashboard looks cleaner than the current MINI, and the interior looks very simple overall.
Combined with the previous information, MINI hopes to achieve full electric vehicles by 2027, and achieve all-electric in early 2030, and in 2025 MINI will gradually shift to the development of all-electric models, and it is expected that the next generation of MINI Cooper is likely to be fully electrified and localized.
Referring to the overseas price of the new MINI electric version, if it is introduced in China, the starting price is expected to be around 300,000. The same is more than 300,000, will you choose the electric MINI or choose the Tesla with a battery life of more than 400? However, the appearance of the MINI electric version is still online, and it has more cuteness and technology. In the eyes of the melon-eating masses, especially the little sisters, the cost-effective gods are all floating clouds. Face value is the core competitiveness of MINI.
Tank 400
"Mech style" hardcore off-road
In the highly homogenized medium and large SUV segment, the uniqueness of the tank 400 is very obvious, and the appearance of this set of "mech shapes" is enough to be personality, hard, and enough to please young consumers. At the same time, the tank 400 has a rare luxury, exquisite inner design of the hardcore SUV, plus space, off-road performance will not have too much shortcomings, the price is right, I believe that after the listing will be a blockbuster model.
Changan UNI-V
Punch Trumpchi Shadow Leopard Kick Honda Civic
The Ark architecture makes the UNI-V cabin layout more compact, the center of gravity is lower, and finally presents the effect of low center of gravity, short front suspension, and long wheelbase, achieving an industry-leading 0.78 aspect ratio and 0.59 axis length ratio, creating a lower and more athletic posture. This design not only enhances the visual sense of movement, but also gives UNI-V better athletic potential.
It is worth mentioning that the pattern in the running lights also realizes the unity of elements with the pattern of the forward grille, forming an echo and pulling the fashion sense of the whole vehicle full.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts a sneaky coupe body shape, the angular body waist line extends from the front to the rear, and the new car also adopts a hidden door handle design, which reduces the wind resistance and also shows a higher sense of luxury. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4680/1838/1430 mm, and the wheelbase is 2750 mm.
The front suspension of the UNI-V can be compressed to 905mm, but the distance from the A-pillar to the front wheel center is significantly lengthened, and the swooping back shape makes the visual center of gravity of the entire car shift behind, thus creating a very dynamic body design. Unlike most cars on the market through the waist line to decorate or visually divide, the design of the UNI-V body profile is inspired by the sometimes peaceful and soothing, sometimes turbulent water surface, cleverly converting the potential energy of the water into a unique sense of beauty, in the process of vehicle driving, the V-shaped surface will fully reflect the environment around the vehicle, thereby forming a static and moving flowing beauty, making the whole vehicle more visually agile.
In terms of interior, the overall style of the new car pursues the ultimate simplicity and dynamics, a large number of tension lines and profiles are used to shape the sense of structure, and the asymmetrical design of the instrument, central control, seat, and central armrest area is used. Local use of jumping color embellishments adds passion and vitality. The hidden air outlet that runs horizontally creates a visual effect of suspension, full of technology; it is arranged on it
