Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, handsome in appearance, superior in force, loyal and courageous, seven in and seven out of Changsaka slope, a million troops in and out of the easy way, has always been a generation of famous generals.
On February 28, a generation of famous Zhao Zilong descended on Hengdian, Jietu X90 Zilong edition was officially launched, the new car launched The Huwei Edition, Changsheng Edition and Wushen Edition 3 models, and provided 5-seater, 6-seat and 7-seat versions respectively, with an official guidance price of 13.99-16.39 million yuan.
This model is code named Zilong, obviously hoping that the new car can be like Zhao Zilong, in the crowd and fierce Chinese auto market to become famous, become a first-class force value of the super player.
Then, with Zhao Yun's name on his head and the ambition of Zilong, what is the true strength of the Jietu Zilong version?
A shortcut to the world
Before evaluating Jietu Zilong, we first need to talk about the jietu brand. It must be admitted that in the past few years, it has been the most unfriendly time for the Chinese auto market. After setting a record of 28.89 million units per year in 2017, China's auto market quickly entered a state of stagnation and weakness, with car sales declining for three consecutive years, and in 2021, it suffered a double blow of lack of cores and the epidemic. In short, in recent years, the survival of Chinese cars is very harsh, suzuki, Fiat and other brands have withdrawn from China, Ford, Mitsubishi, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Hyundai and other brands sales plummeted, Zotye, Brilliance, Haima, Lifan and other brands have been exhausted or dying.
The Jetway brand was born in 2018, which can be described as untimely. The first model, the Jetway X70, suffered a strong typhoon on the day of its launch and was postponed; the second model, the X90, suffered an earthquake on its launch. Other people's new car listing spring warm flowers blooming sunshine, Jietu new car listing is lightning thunder, rainstorm and fierce wind. In addition to the name Jietu, and the good wish to locate travel +, Jietu has suffered many setbacks,
Nitrogen, which is not necessarily a disadvantage, a brand that lacks combat effectiveness, a flower in a greenhouse, experiences the blow of a storm will often die directly, but a brand with strong fighting spirit and strong vitality will often grow savagely in the baptism of the storm and become stronger.
In the four years of wind and rain in the car market and various setbacks, Jietusheng survived in the iron wall of the copper wall. As of the end of December 2021, the cumulative sales volume of Jietu has exceeded 450,000 units, and as of now, the cumulative sales volume has approached 500,000 units. In 2021, the cumulative sales of the Jietu brand was about 154,100 vehicles, an increase of 17.9% year-on-year, and in the midst of the overall auto market, in the year-on-year decline in sales of Volkswagen and GM, Jietu's sales achieved a contrarian growth and showed excellent competitiveness.
Super cost-effective is the first competitiveness of Jietu
At the heart of Jietu's competitiveness is cost-effectiveness. Typical examples are the Jietu X70, a model larger than the Haval H6, with compact + space, with a beautiful shape and rich configuration, the starting price is only 69,900 yuan, this price is only equivalent to the price of an independent miscellaneous brand small SUV, and even a joint venture A0 class car can not be bought, but you can buy a large space Ofu SUV.
At the same time, the advantage of Jietu is not only that the price is cheap, there are cheaper models on the market than Jietu, such as Lifan Zotye's models were once cheaper than Jietu, but these brands have basically disappeared. The advantage of Jietu is that as a brand of Chery, an independent first-line car company, Jietu was born on the shoulders of giants, and can directly use Chery's engine, gearbox, chassis, parts, and car manufacturing technology that Chery has been immersed in the jianghu for more than 20 years. This makes Jietu a new brand, but in terms of technology, performance and quality durability, it is actually the foundation of its own first-line brand, which is the best annotation of Jietu's high cost performance.
Jietu Zilong edition is a model with the ultimate cost performance created by Jietu, the price of this model is also very grounded, the starting price of 139,900 yuan is only the price of an independent compact SUV, or the price of a joint venture A-class model, but in terms of product space, configuration, power, technology and performance, it has reached the level of the joint venture medium-sized SUV.
Speak with facts.
Space surpasses that of the third generation Highlander
The 4858/1925/1780mm and wheelbase of the Jetto Dragon Edition are 2850mm, which is a typical joint venture medium-sized SUV, comparable to the third-generation Highlander, especially the 2850mm wheelbase is not only far more than the third-generation Highlander's 2790mm, but even completely consistent with the fourth-generation Highlander. This means that the space of the Jietu Zilong version, more than the third generation Highlander, is close to the fourth generation Highlander, and has outstanding spatial advantages.
In the global automotive market, space is the most important indicator that determines the grade and price of a car. An Audi A4 and an Audi A6, even if the engine, gearbox and configuration are exactly the same, only the A6 is a circle larger than the A4 space, and the price is at least 100,000 yuan more expensive. The advantage of the large space of Jietu can bring great benefits to consumers, and the wheelbase of 2850mm can provide three seat layouts of 5, 6 and 7 seats.
If you choose the 5-seat layout, the first row can get 1 meter of space for the head, the second row can get 1 meter of extra space for the legs, and at the same time get a super large trunk. If you choose a 6-seater or 7-seater model, then because the second and third rows can be proportionally folded, in fact, the car can be freely selected between 2-seaters, 3-seaters, 4-seaters, 5-seaters and 6-seaters/7-seaters. You can pull people, you can pull goods, you can mix people and goods. If a family of three or four travels, you can sit very comfortably and wide, and the trunk can also accommodate tents, sleeping bags, hammocks, ovens, fishing rods, folding tables and chairs, food, bottled water and other items, which is completely a small motorhome treatment.
Equipped with the top ten Chinese hearts, zero hundred acceleration is less than 8 seconds
In terms of the more important power system, the advantages of the Jietu Zilong version are also prominent. The new car is equipped with Chery's painstakingly developed Kunpeng Power 2.0T engine, which won the title of "China Heart" Top Ten Engines of the Year in 2021, which is also the ninth time that Chery Engine has won this honor.
As the pinnacle of Chery engine, this engine integrates a variety of hard-core dark technology, thermal efficiency has reached 38%, maximum power 254 horsepower, maximum torque 390 Nm, 100 km acceleration time is less than 8 seconds, 100 km fuel consumption is only 8.1 liters, truly standing at the forefront of the industry.
By analogy, the current German ABB's 2.0T engine of the same class no longer has advantages in terms of maximum power and maximum torque. Typical examples include the high-power version of the 2.0T engine mounted on the Mercedes-Benz GRC, which has a maximum power of 258 horsepower and a maximum torque of only 370 Nm. In terms of power output, it exceeds the 4 hp of the Zilong, but the torque output is lower than the Zilong by 20 Nm. At least in terms of book data, the 2.0T engine equipped by Zilong is fully equipped with the strength to compete with the German ABB.
Configure a direct-to-follow Ashkenazi ABB
What can better reflect the advantages of Zilong is the configuration.
Zilong's minimum configuration guidance price is 139,900 yuan, the top configuration guidance price is 163,900 yuan, and the main model price is about 150,000 yuan, which is only one-third of the same level of German ABB, which is much cheaper than the ordinary joint venture compact SUV, about 100,000 yuan cheaper than the highlander of the joint venture, and at least 50,000 yuan cheaper than the GAC Trumpchi model GS8. However, in terms of configuration, especially in terms of technology configuration, Zilong is in the forefront, completely surpassing the same level of joint venture, and some configurations even directly catch up with The German ABB.
Even the Huwei version, which started at 139,900 yuan, is also impressive in terms of minimum configuration, equipped with 360 panoramic images, fixed speed cruise, remote start, 12.3-inch dual screen, main driver electric seat, satellite navigation, voice control, temperature partitioning, air filtration, etc., enough to meet daily practicality.
As for the 163,900 yuan Vulcan version, it is also equipped with three-zone independent air conditioning, wireless charging, driving recorder, CN95 health cockpit, digital intelligent cockpit and L2.5 level intelligent auxiliary driving; in addition, it is equipped with automatic parking, Sony audio with 8 speakers, GPS + Beidou dual-mode navigation and positioning, and autoNavi / Tencent / Baidu three maps. With a high degree of intelligence and a high degree of networking, in fact, an intelligent machine has been created.
By analogy, even if the price of more than 400,000 yuan of Audi Q5L, most models only provide ordinary reversing images, upgrade to 360 panoramic images need to add money, upgrade to adaptive cruise needs to add money, and the whole series has no remote start, no wireless charging, no driving recorder, no OTA upgrade, at least in some intelligent technology configuration, Jietu Zilong has surpassed the same level of luxury brand models.
Lifetime warranty, 20% off 2 years
Many people will think that although Jietu has a large space, strong power and high configuration, the durability of its own brand is poor, which will be a hard injury of Jietu Zilong. It must be admitted that such a statement would have been fine if it had been placed 10 years ago, but it would have been foolish or bad now. It is as if 20 years ago it was said that independent brands lack core technologies are realistic, and now it is said that independent brands cannot manufacture engines, which is a slander of independent brands.
In fact, after more than 20 years of development, the independent brands represented by Chery have long undergone changes in product durability, and the problem of quality control has long been solved. Generally speaking, as long as you do not choose a miscellaneous brand such as Lifan Zotye Haima, models of independent first-line brands such as the Great Wall Changan Qirui Geely, generally driving 100,000 kilometers may not even have to move a screw.
In terms of product durability and quality, Jietu is enough to be included in the ranks of the autonomous first-line. In the 2019 China brand quality ranking launched by Autohome, Jietu ranked in the top four with 163 excellent results of 100 car failures, second only to Weipai, Lynk & Co and Venucia, and surpassed haval, Geely, Changan and other first-line autonomy, which fully shows that the quality of Jietu products is completely trustworthy.
Moreover, at the same time as the listing of Jietu Zilong, the new car provides two guarantees of lifetime warranty and 2 years of 20% discount repurchase, which also shows the high confidence of Jietu in the quality of its own products.
Write at the end
In short, if your car is not for face, not for others to see, not to consider customers, just to use and travel with family, then Jietu is definitely a model with the ultimate cost performance.
The price is cheap, the space is wide, the configuration is rich, the performance is excellent, the quality is excellent, a medium-sized SUV comparable to the Highlander, equipped with a 2.0T engine, the starting price is only 139,900 yuan. What more could you ask for?
