In recent years, with the increasing demand for cars for young people, personalization has become more and more important. The ordinary SUVs on the market can no longer meet the needs of most young consumers. In turn, the domestic traditional independent car manufacturers have made efforts to run SUV to occupy the SUV market segment. At the same time, this also reduces the entry threshold of the coupe SUV, so that many consumers have fulfilled the dream of the coupe SUV. But do you really understand what a coupe SUV is?
First, what is a coupe SUV
The coupe SUV is the COUPE SUV, which is a crossover derivative of the COUPE+ SUV. There is now a basic consensus on what a "Coupe+SUV" is, which should have the high passability and security of traditional SUVs, and incorporate the streamlined and stylish appearance and handling of Coupe. The most typical design feature of a coupe SUV is continuous downward pressure from the inflection point at the upper end of the A-pillar, which greatly weakens the presence of the C-pillar.
Simply put, it has the advantages of suvs, sports cars and cars, and you can enjoy three times as much happiness when you buy one.
In our impression, the traditional coupe SUV must have the blood of sports flowing in its bones, and the brands they belong to must contain a deep sports history. For example, the BMW X6 we see on the market, which is also the earliest coupe SUV.
Second, the originator of the coupe SUV
As early as 2008, the birth of the BMW X6 laid the foundation for the unique existence of the coupe SUV, and it was its emergence that allowed consumers to discover for the first time that the original SUV could also play a sense of sports. The cross-border attributes of coupe SUVs perfectly match the advantages of both coupe and SUV.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the original back-to-back rear tailgate shape and muscular lines make it different from the SUVs on the market that year. In terms of practicality, the excellent four-wheel drive capability of the SUV is supplemented by large tires, and the off-road ability is well retained. Starting with the BMW X6, the coupe SUV began to enter everyone's field of vision, although at that time BMW did not really define it as a coupe SUV.
In the years since, everyone has followed this design, and people like the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and BMW X4 have received a lot of attention in the car SUV industry.
Third, the Chinese people's own coupe SUV
Since 2018, domestic coupe SUVs have begun to grow wildly. This growth has gradually extended from medium to large SUV to the compact SUV market.
The most surprising thing is the independent brand, their design sense of smell has been greatly improved in recent years. Since last year, people like Venucia T90, Haval F7x, Changan CS85 COUPE, and Geely Xingyue have caught up with the trend of the times and launched their own coupe SUV star models.
And the time comes to 2022, the coupe SUV continues to exert its strength, in addition to the above-mentioned domestic coupe SUV. FAW Besturn will officially launch a new coupe SUV, the Pentium B70S, in the first quarter of this year.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the Pentium B70S still continues the design concept of the Pentium B70 for aesthetics. The grille shape of the front face for the "digital raindrops" designed by the family has been upgraded and evolved, maintaining the scientific and technological design language and atmospheric look, and is more recognizable by the family products.
Under the wind erosion movement, the grid modeling adopts multi-level features to echo the presentation of the scatter focusing effect, extends the shape according to the direction of the air flow, etchs the shape with the wind, and matches the sports front lip to bring better aerodynamic design. The headlights group continues to use a split headlight evolved from the characteristics of the "Battle Go" type of daytime running lights, and the combination of air power kits similar to the shape of the divine beast claws on both sides has a strong visual impact.
On the side of the body, you can see that the overall shape is very low. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4555mm*1850mm*1515mm, the wheelbase reaches 2750mm, and the ground clearance is 180mm. That is, it has the beautiful design of the sneakback model, and adds the advantages of the SUV's own high passability, killing two birds with one stone.
The design highlights of the tail are still very distinctive, using the rear tail light called "Great Wall Arrow Stack", similar to the beacon on the Great Wall, and the visual effect of lighting up is very obvious at night. The spoiler above also highlights the sporty atmosphere.
The interior continues to feature a family-friendly design. The LCD instrument screen and the central control large screen adopt one-piece design, showing a more personalized, scientific and technological interior atmosphere, vertical inclination and horizontal width in line with the best ergonomics, not only display more rich and practical information, but also conducive to the driver's operation when driving, will not cause unnecessary safety hazards.
The center control screen has built-in Pentium D-LIFE 5.2 system, and adopts a new UI design, which looks more concise and clear overall. At the same time, the functions are also very rich, online music, car navigation, voice control and so on. At the same time, it is also equipped with a vehicle health butler.
In terms of safety configuration, the Pentium B70S is equipped with 360° panoramic image and L2 automatic driving assistance functions, including traffic congestion assistance, lane departure warning system, automatic parking and other functions. At the same time, thanks to the construction of the FMA platform, on the basis of the "double E" circular body, 18 safety equipment and 23 active safety technologies are integrated, which can minimize accidents and protect passengers.
In terms of power, the B70S launched two different power models of 1.5T and 2.0T to meet consumers. The 2.0T engine is rated at 165 kW and has a peak torque of 340 Nm. It can provide a steady stream of power output in the early and middle and rear sections of the driving. The matching Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission naturally needless to say, is already a veteran of the battlefield, not only smooth shifting but also logically reliable speed. Matching this 2.0T engine is a good fit.
The B70S chassis is adjusted for biased movement, which can also provide sufficient support when doing intense paralleling and steering. At the same time, the Pentium B70S also continues the Pentium family's consistent steering settings, easy to use and accurate direction, which is undoubtedly a good thing for friends who love to drive.
4. Summary
From a design point of view, the coupe SUV is a relatively novel design method, as a "cross-border", "integrated" a variety of body structure products, its value is worthy of our affirmation. However, the above settings are based on pure coupe SUVs, in other words, in addition to the styling design, there is excellent handling and sportiness.
Although the coupe SUV is still criticized for its small space, impurity, etc., it does not sound like a perfect design. But the need for a niche market does exist. The development of domestic brands in the field of coupe SUVs can also see the progress of domestic cars and the importance of the market.
Since its release, the Pentium B70S has attracted the attention of many netizens with its trendy design and abundant power, which has a safe and solid foundation of FMA architecture, reliable gold power of 2.0T+6AT and its own elegant and high-pass body design. After a variety of popular elements are fused together, I believe that many young people like this coupe-style SUV, coupled with a wealth of configuration blessings, if there can be a more people-friendly price, then the car will launch a powerful impact on the market in the future for opponents of the same level.
