History has told us that the three major pieces are an important criterion for measuring whether a car is worth buying, which is also the core competitiveness of car companies to survive, so in this big wave of sand and sand in the past few years, you see those independent brands that can stand firm, they all have time, cost and energy on the three major pieces. In 2022, a new round of competition in the automotive circle has begun, and car companies must show their housekeeping skills to avoid being eliminated. Today's old drivers have sorted out several hot cars that will be replaced with new power this year, if you are a potential buyer, you may wish to wait!
BYD Han
Core competitiveness: Replace the DM-i system, the price and fuel economy are better
Old driver spicy comment: From the latest announced sales, BYD Han contributed 117665 in 2021, as a domestic electric vehicle that started with 200,000 yuan and has no discounts, this data can be described as outstanding, which is the most successful luxury car of the BYD family. However, looking at the specific models, in fact, the main sales are mainly Han EV, and Han DM accounts for less. In 2022, the Han DM-i model equipped with BYD DM-i super hybrid system has finally arrived, and the new car has completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and is expected to be officially released in the first half of 2022, and the price should be the same as other families, cheaper than the original DM model. The hot sale of the DM-i series is a miracle for shareholders or BYD itself, and no one expected it to be so hot.
According to the spy photos previously exposed, the taillight style of Han DM-i is somewhat different from the current Han EV/DM. The BYDHan DM-i model will offer blade batteries of 18.3 kWh and 37.6 kWh, with a pure electric cruising range of 121/242 km and 202 km respectively. A plug-in hybrid model has a pure electric endurance of 242km, what is this concept? Basically catch up with the total mileage of a miniature pure electric car. I have to say that BYD's blade battery is really strong. Qin PLUS, Song PLUS/Song Pro, Tang, Song MAX and other models have completed the construction of DM-i models, as BYD's flagship sedan, the future of Han DM-i is more promising.
The second generation of Changan CS75 PLUS
Core competitiveness: The whole series has upgraded a new generation of Blue Whale 1.5T/2.0T engines, equipped with Aisin 8AT gearbox as standard
Old driver hot comment: As the Changan CS75 that once seized the "SUV sales crown" from the hands of Haval H6, it is the top pillar of Changan Automobile. In the year of the new year, we also have to improve our competitiveness to a higher level, as a mid-term change, the second generation of CS75 PLUS officially debuted at the end of last year. The new car has been fully upgraded for its appearance and interior, and while retaining the dual screen and four exhausts, it has added a through-type headlight and a through-type taillight design, giving people a feeling of "changing the style".
Of course, the most important thing is the innovation of the power system, the second generation of CS75 PLUS will be equipped with the new generation of Blue Whale 1.5T/2.0T engine newly developed by Changan Automobile, referring to the UNI series that has been put into service, the new generation of Blue Whale engine technology is more advanced, and the book data has also been improved, from the original 178 hp / 265 Nm and 233 hp / 360 Nm, to 188 hp / 300 Nm and 233 hp / 390 Nm. What's more, the 1.5T version will also match aisin 8AT to further enhance fuel economy, and for the performance of 1.5T+8AT, which is the first Chinese brand, the old driver is quite looking forward to its performance.
FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius
Core competitiveness: Replace the EA211 1.5TSI evo engine, the power performance is better
Old driver hot comment: just said the second generation of CS75 PLUS 1.5T + 8AT powertrain, here on the car appeared again, but it is not its own brand, but Volkswagen. Volkswagen has finally used the 1.5T turbocharged engine that has been holding back for two or three years to use the mid-term revamp Sagittarius, which was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year and is expected to be officially released in the first half of 2022.
The new Sagitar is based on the MQB evo upgrade platform, and like the Golf 8, the new digital cockpit gives the interior a new look. Air conditioning outlet is through-shaped, the center is a floating screen, the size of 12 inches, full touch operation, built-in Volkswagen's latest generation of car machine system, with gesture control function, but also can achieve mainstream APP application download, smart home function, etc., in terms of intelligence, the public finally keep up with the pace of the times.
In terms of power, in addition to continuing to use 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged engines, the 1.5T EVO engine, which has been rumored for a long time and has been repeatedly debunked, has finally been used, which is the first of this power in the Asia-Pacific region. The new model adds many advanced technologies such as the VGT variable-section turbocharger, miller cycle (implemented by CVVT), APS cylinder wall anti-friction coating, and variable cylinder (the domestic version is doubtful). According to official information, the compression ratio of this engine has been increased from 10:1 to 12.5:1, and the maximum power has been increased to 160 horsepower. The price should not be cheap, how much do you think to sell to be stable?
Honda Binzhi/XR-V
Core competitiveness: the first i-MMD oil-electric hybrid system, fuel economy and then improve
Old driver spicy comment: Although the sales volume of Binzhi/XR-V in the domestic small SUV market has been very stable, but it has also been sold for a long time, it is considered to have reached the end of the product, looking at the continuous dimensionality reduction of high-quality products of independent brands, it is not okay not to do something new. So the hybrid model should also come this year. According to Honda's domestic model strategy in China, the Japanese version will be listed and sold in China about a year after the release of the Japanese version, of course, the final time will be subject to the official announcement. In April last year, a new generation of Binzhi with a hybrid system has been listed, and the local price in Japan is 2.2792 million to 2.4992 million yen, about 136,700 yuan - 197,800 yuan, and if you calculate the time, this year's hybrid version of Binzhi /XR-V will be listed.
The shape of the new model is indeed handsome, from the rear of the car there is still a bit of UR-V taste, although the domestic Binzhi / XR-V is a local model, but the body in white and the three major pieces of the probability and overseas version will not be much different, and Dongfeng Honda pure electric new car e: NS1 is very similar. Referring to overseas models, the iteration adopts a more sporty coupe SUV model style, with a body height lowered by 20mm compared to the current model, and the ground clearance increased to 188mm, which is better passability. The overall style of the interior is consistent with the eleventh generation Civic, and young people should like it. In terms of power, there is a high probability that it will be equipped with Honda's latest i-MMD oil-electric hybrid system, which is composed of a 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine, a dual-motor electromechanical coupling mechanism and a ternary lithium battery, which is the Lingpai Rui hybrid set, which has been praised by the media and car owners, and low fuel consumption and stable performance quality will become the core competitiveness.
Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai
Core competitiveness: the first e-POWER extender hybrid system, fuel economy and then improve
Old driver spicy comment: Speaking of Nissan SUVs, the probability will think of X-Trail and Qashqa, but the new X-Trail did not continue the sales performance of the previous generation of X-Gun, and even fell seriously, although it is necessary to resume production of "glory models", but it is difficult to restore to the old state in a short period of time, then the banner of Nissan SUVs will be handed over to Qashqa. Recently, the new Qashqai domestic patent map has also been exposed, and the new car is expected to be listed domestically within the year. Referring to the overseas version of the model, the appearance of the new generation of Qashqai is still a family-style V-Motion front face style, and the overall appearance has not changed much, but the new car length has increased by 35mm compared with the current model, reaching 4436mm, and the wheelbase has also increased from 2646mm to 2666mm. The interior is a big change, compared to the current Qashqai, the overall sense of youth and technology is stronger. The car machine part should also use the set on The X-Trail, which has made some optimizations for localization, and has done a good job in terms of fluency and practicality.
In terms of power, in addition to the fuel version, the new car also launched the e-POWER range extender hybrid version for the first time, there is news that this engine is not a 1.2L three-cylinder engine on Xuanyi, but a 156 hp variable compression ratio gasoline engine, it is likely to be an electrified VC-TURBO 1.5T engine, the engine will be used as a gasoline range extender, the drive wheel is expected to be directly connected to the front axle half-shaft motor through the reducer, referring to the European version of the model, The motor power has also increased from Xuanyi's 100kW to 140kW.
