Tank 500
Pre-price: 335,000-395,000 yuan
Listing time: March 4
Since the tank 300 is hotly sold, Great Wall Motors has been ambitious in the field of hardcore off-road vehicles. The tank 500 is the latest masterpiece after the tank 300. On the basis of hardcore off-road, the tank 500 adds a lot of luxury, including the use of a large area of leather wrapping in the interior, the use of high-grade wood grain trim panels, as well as crystal material handles, quartz clocks, Infinity Yan Feilis audio and other configurations.
It is reported that in order to meet the needs of different users, Tank 500 will provide business and sports models, the two models use different styles of exterior design. Among them, the business version of the model uses exquisite silver chrome decorative strips, which looks more mature and stable. The sport version of the model is more rugged, with a 3.0T turbo V6 engine and a 9-speed manual transmission, as well as the third generation of intelligent four-wheel drive system, the strong off-road strength is believed to have conquered the hearts of many tough SUV enthusiasts.
Although the Tank 500 has not yet been officially launched, Itogo has learned that the new car order has been very hot. If the reputation of the next product continues to improve, then the tank 500 is expected to work with the tank 300 to completely launch the tank brand and make another city for Great Wall Motors in the hardcore off-road market!
Changan UNI-V
Pre-price (Smart Pilot): 134,900
Time to market: Expected to be late March
The Changan UNI sequence is unexpectedly hot, UNI-T and UNI-K two SUVs perform well, and now only the "KTV" combination is left UNI-V will be officially launched in late March, when it will usher in a market test. According to the pre-price of the new car previously announced by Changan, the reservation price of the UNI-V top model smart pilot is 134,900 yuan, which has touched the core price band of the joint venture compact sedan.
The UNI-V is the first car in the Changan UNI sequence, focusing on sport and performance, and will compete with Trumpchi Shadow Leopard and Honda Civic after the launch. However, for now, UNI-V's biggest competitiveness may be in the high value. It features a short overhanging long axle design with a low bow, smooth side lines, and a slip-back design. Coupled with the borderless front face and sharp headlights, the electric liftable tail wing is simply "handsome to no friends". There are not many surprises in the interior, but details such as the D-shaped steering wheel and the integrated sports seats also show a sense of sport.
Previously, Uni-V has been test-driven, which is equipped with a power system composed of Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine + Blue Whale's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 138 kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m. The book data is considerable, and the chassis adjustment is biased towards sports, which is estimated to be favored by young friends. In addition, the price has a certain cost performance in the same level, and the appearance value is also brilliant, which is expected to become Changan's latest representative work in the field of cars and a sharp tool for sales growth.
Dongfeng scenery MINIEV
Pre-price: 2.86-41,600 yuan
Time to market: within one quarter
Although there is a suspicion of "tribute", the news that Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV will be listed in the first quarter has still made many consumers who hold coins to be purchased feel moved. On the one hand, as a miniature pure tram, the scenery MINIEV is small in size and cute in appearance, and the length of the car is 2995mm suitable for transportation in the city. On the other hand, the pre-price of 28,600-4.16 million yuan announced by the wind and solar MINIEV is cheap and beautiful, which meets the needs of many urban consumers.
In addition, although there are many similarities between The Scenery MINIEV and the Hongguang MINIEV, the design is more exquisite and may be more pleasing to female users. Especially in terms of interior, the 9-inch central control screen adds a sense of technology, and the color matching and details are also more exquisite. In terms of configuration, it supports reversing images, provides air conditioning, one-button start, etc., which can basically meet the needs of the car.
The Wind MINIEV is equipped with a maximum power of 34 horsepower drive motors, and it is expected to provide different versions of 120km and 170km in terms of endurance, which is a good choice in the city. At present, the market competition for micro pure electric vehicles is becoming more and more fierce, in addition to the hot Hongguang MINIEV, there are chery QQ ice cream, Changan Ben E-Star, and relatively niche punk Meimei and other models. Therefore, it is still unknown whether the wind and solar MINIEV can replicate the success of the macro miniv in one fell swoop.
FAW Besturn B70S
Time to market: End of March
Among the new cars that are about to be launched, the presence of the Pentium B70S is not high. Due to FAW Besturn's low brand influence in recent years, there are not many consumers who pay attention to this new car. However, as China FAW's first autonomous coupe SUV, the Besturn B70S still has many highlights worth knowing.
The first and most attractive thing is the design of the Pentium B70S. The new car mesh adopts a split design, with a penetrating air intake at the upper part and a large trapezoidal design at the lower part, and the blackened grille enhances the sense of sport. The headlights have the charm of Cadillac's iconic "tear eyes", and have strong recognition with the undulating lamp strip design of the taillights (officially known as the "Great Wall Arrow Stack" rear taillights). The sneakback design adds a lot to the sportiness of the Pentium B70S, and the "Beast Claw" aerodynamic kit adds more personality.
In terms of interior, the main attraction is the banner steering wheel design and the dual 12.3-inch joint screen design. Through the embellishment of chrome trim strips and the use of large areas of leather, the texture of the whole vehicle is still relatively excellent. In terms of power, the Pentium B70S will be equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, with a maximum power of 124kW and 165kW, and a maximum torque of 258N·m and 340N·m, respectively.
It is expected that the new car will compete with Haval H6S, Changan UNI-T and other models after the launch, considering that the coupe SUV is still a relatively niche model, the Besturn B70S may be difficult to undertake the task of walking.
From the currently known information, the above several independent new cars will be listed in the first quarter, among them there are cars with SUVs, and even pure electric vehicle models, and it is advisable to consider them in the near future. More new car information Will continue to pay attention to, want to buy the right car, may wish to continue to pay attention to us!
