As the automotive industry moves from the incremental era to the stock era, the SUV field has become more and more crowded, and the competition between each other has become white-hot, which makes many car companies eager to seek new sales points pin their hopes on more niche market segments.
Although FAW Besturn has a number of models on sale in the SUV camp, in fact, there is no one that can really be played at present, and the former top beam column T77 has fallen into an embarrassing situation of no general availability after encountering a safety and quality crisis. Nowadays, with the rise of young sports, the coupe SUV, a niche market with both personality and sports, has once again been rejuvenated, and FAW Besturn has also decided to further enrich the product matrix and launch a more pleasing coupe SUV - Pentium B70S.
As a blockbuster model that will expand its territory in the field of coupe SUVs, the Pentium B70S has been controversial since its debut, mainly because its appearance and Mazda CX-4 have a certain relationship.
Although the high pricing and niche positioning have led to the CX-4 failing to become a blockbuster model, the poor sales have not affected its image in the minds of consumers. Later, the two horses were combined, and the Mazda CX-4 also separated from the FAW system, but because FAW has complete intellectual property rights to this car, we can find that the Besturn B70S still inherits a lot of the CX-4 mantle in terms of styling, although the Chuangchi blue sky is no longer there, but the charm still exists.
Of course, in addition to paying tribute to the CX-4, the shape of the Pentium B70S also incorporates many unique elements of its own, further highlighting the sportiness and impact of the coupe SUV. The iconic "Go" headlights are paired with a large trapezoidal grille, revealing a bit of ferocity against the backdrop of a large amount of black chrome trim.
The coupe shape on the side of the car has a high degree of similarity with the Mazda CX-4, and the ground clearance slightly higher than that of the sedan ensures that it has the passability of the SUV without losing the low lying feeling of the sedan. The exaggerated rear wing at the rear, the double-sided exhaust cylinder design reinforces the sporty nature of the car, and the design of the up and down after the taillights are lit up also brings a good visual effect.
The Pentium B70S's full-tension, fang-revealing coupe design is indeed very easy to win the attention of young people. However, although the title of the improved version of mazda CX-4 is also deeply transmitted in terms of overall style, due to the lack of mazda's empowerment, the import of three major pieces is basically hopeless, so there will be some differences in performance performance and driving performance. Therefore, many people who like CX-4 say that the Pentium B70S is just a look, empty of its table.
So is the Pentium B70S, which is taken over by the Chinese people, really as bad as they say?
The Pentium B70S is equipped with two powertrains, 1.5T and 2.0T, with maximum power of 124kW and 165kW and peak torque of 258N·m and 340N·m. The conventional system is matched with a 6-speed manual, a 7-speed wet dual-clutch and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Compared with the 2.0L and 2.5L self-priming engines that Mazda CX-4 has insisted on for many years, the improvement in power parameters is more obvious, but due to the lack of the blessing of Chuangchi Blue Sky technology, the fuel consumption performance of the Pentium B70S has also increased, and this can be improved by adding a light hybrid power system in the future.
It can be seen that the overall performance of the Pentium B70S in terms of power is still remarkable, coupled with the generosity of the independent brand in the configuration and the appearance of the fashion sense, it can also be regarded as a sincere work. But that doesn't mean the Pentium B70S will be successful in the market. The coupe SUV market is a niche market segment, and there are already many strong players in it, the Pentium B70S lacks its own brand appeal, and in the case of no good reputation in the SUV field, if you want to successfully go out of the circle, you will have to face a more severe test.
However, if the Pentium B70S is misplaced with the competitors at the same level in pricing, it may bring a strong impact in the field of coupe SUV, although this price-for-volume approach cannot get FAW Besturn out of the quagmire in the short term, but at least it can make the current new generation of young consumers feel the sincerity and novelty of Besturn, paving the way for the launch and development of subsequent new products.
