Chery's "face value ceiling" hit hard, and the first OMODA 5 car officially rolled off the production line
Text/Su Jin Ji
Upward exploration has always been the appeal of domestic car manufacturers, so when the domestic market competition has been squeezed to the inner volume, it means that saturation has reached the fixed point. Therefore, many traditional car manufacturers have begun to seek breakthroughs in "global cars" with years of technical accumulation, such as Lynk & Co, Chery and so on.
Among Chery's latest products, an ONODA 5 has been pushed onto the recent hot list, which is called Chery's current "face value ceiling", and this is also Chery's self-breakthrough in styling design. On the morning of February 8, this model also officially ushered in the first car off the production line, and it is also an important step for Chery to take the "global car" strategy.
Chery OMODA 5 will be a mid-size SUV, so the model will look more atmospheric. Compared with the overall style of the body, the texture of the net is slightly more complex, and it does not use a clear border outline, but is processed in a hollow way, thus forming a natural wavy three-dimensional texture effect.
Such a frameless grille is not uncommon among domestic independent products, but Chery OMODA 5 portrays a completely different style style with the same design method. Such a grille design can be naturally integrated with the body, conspicuous but not obtrusive, and can be presented by the wide body of the body.
The light group of the model is an LED split structure, and the daytime running lights only use a hook angle type light strip, and half of them are fused with the grille, so the daytime running lights do not look conspicuous. The gills of the car are far and near light groups, which is also the layout structure of the more common split light groups on the market, but compared with the traditional light group design, the far and near lights with the position moved down can illuminate the light range farther.
From the side, the front of the car is relatively thick, but the trend of the roof will emphasize the flat ratio of the body, if the front half of the body shows a sense of strength, then the middle and rear half of the body is an elegant posture, which will be more visually refreshing. The blackened trim panels used in the D-pillar create a hovering model effect, further modifying the visual youthful atmosphere.
The rear of the car is more three-dimensional, and from the front, the structure that runs through both sides of the taillights is obviously designed with an outward design technique, emphasizing its layering and angular effect. The bilateral double exhaust outlet located in the rear enclosure is only used for decoration and has no substantial exhaust effect. The model's true exhaust port is hidden under the rear chassis, which is also a bilateral double-out structure.
Entering the car, it has the same design style as the appearance of the model, and it is exquisite in the refinement. The center console has a distinct sense of hierarchy, and below the air conditioner outlet is a row of touch air conditioning buttons, but the panel carrying the touch buttons has a metal coating. Above the touch button is a light that indicates the on or off state of the function. The gauges and display screens in the car form a floating dual screen layout, both screens are not small in size, and there is also a direct listing option on the outside of the gauge.
The IP station has a large area of soft package parts, and a mobile phone wireless charging panel is hidden in the T-shaped area connected to the central control, which is also a configuration that young people need at present. In addition, the more conspicuous part is the crystal stall handle, which is equipped even in the basic version, adding to the exquisite effect of the interior.
summary:
Chery OMODA 5 is expected to debut in overseas markets in the first half of this year, and as the first global model in Chery's new series, it is about to enter the EU market. In addition to the high value of the model, it is also the product of Chery's integration of user thinking and Internet thinking. Therefore, the design of the model is only a part of what we see, under the exquisitely crafted appearance, it is also wrapped in Chery's current cutting-edge technology, which is undoubtedly one of the important matches of the future direction of the model. In the era of intelligence, our lives will be fully developed around technology, and after the official launch of the model, I also wish it can deliver satisfactory answers in the actual test.
