This time Pentium learned to be smart, in one breath to launch 1.5T and 2.0T two kinds of power, of which 1.5T four models, 2.0T three, you can see, in fact, Pentium prefer consumers to choose 1.5T models. So, the new car is about to be launched, the follow-up market is full of challenges, how competitive is the Pentium B70S market? Let's talk about this article together.
Unlike the Pentium B70 positioning, the new Pentium B70S is positioned as a compact SUV. The body size is 4555/1850/1515mm and the wheelbase is 2750mm. From the parameter point of view, the wheelbase performance is good, can meet the most basic needs of consumers.
In terms of appearance, the new Pentium B70S adopts a family design language, officially named "The Sexy Curved Surface of the Philosophy of Light and Shadow", and the trapezoidal front bar shape and the "Go" style headlight group make its front face have a strong visual impact. On the side of the body, the slender lines outline the feeling of a coupe-style SUV. Coincidentally, the side of the body is particularly similar to FAW Mazda's CX-4. Because of this, many people feel that the B70S is the "reincarnation" of the CX-4.
The interior design of the Pentium B70S is basically the same as that of the Pentium B70, and the specific functions of the vehicle system it is equipped with should be almost the same. However, in terms of details, the designer has created some small charms for the Pentium B70S, such as the center console area in front of the co-pilot, which is designed with atmosphere lights, or the feeling of the starry sky. Not only that, the Pentium B70S seat has been optimized, and in order to highlight the sense of movement, the chair type strengthens the body support, which is different from the Pentium B70.
In terms of active and passive safety, the low-end model of the Besturn B70S is equipped with 4 airbags, and the high-end model is equipped with 6 airbags. At the same time, the high-end model is also equipped with L2 automatic driving assistance system, including lane centering, ACC adaptive cruise system, front collision warning, AEB active braking, APA automatic parking and 360-degree panoramic images.
In terms of power, the new Pentium B70S is still equipped with two kinds of power, 1.5T and 2.0T, of which the former has a maximum power of 169 hp and a peak torque of 258 Nm, and the latter has a maximum power of 224 hp and a peak torque of 340 Nm. The 1.5T model is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch and the 2.0T model is matched with an Aisin 6AT transmission.
Nowadays, cross-border SUVs are gradually popular with young consumers. For example, BMW X2, Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV, Lynk & Co 02 and Subaru XV. Judging from the current market competitors, there are very few pure competitors in the Pentium B70S, mainly from the pressure of orthodox SUV models. After the delisting of the Mazda CX-4, the visibility of some joint venture crossover SUV models on the road is getting lower and lower. The reason is that because the crossover SUV is required for styling, the luggage compartment space is not as high as the orthodox SUV model, but it is easier to carry large items than the sedan. Young consumer groups like things with good looks, but they are very principled and extremely purposeful, which makes the future market of Pentium B70S full of challenges.
The biggest pressure on the Pentium B70S is not that the product is not enough, but from the design level. After all, the classic styling of the Mazda CX-4 is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In this regard, everyone is also welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
