For the car, the importance of the engine is like the human heart, involving a hair and moving the whole body, many consumers will take the power as an important consideration when buying a car, some models with good quality in all aspects but the power has a short board, so it is lost with consumers, of course, there are also models that are timely improvement after realizing the short board, such as the following three.
Wuling Capgemini
Manufacturer guidance price: 8.58-13.48 million yuan
As the first model of SAIC-GM-Wuling to hang silver labels, Wuling Capgemini has attracted the attention of many working-class consumers with its large space and high cost performance, but its power performance is not outstanding, such as the throttle pedal foot feeling is heavy, low torsion performance is insufficient, etc., not good to open, so in February, Wuling officially launched a new Capgemini equipped with a 1.5T high-power version.
The new Wuling Capgemini equipped with a high-power 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 177 horsepower and a peak torque of 290 Nm, an increase of 30 hp and 40 Nm compared to the current model, the significant increase in book data is also reflected in the actual performance, such as more sensitive throttle, more active and relaxed at start-up and low speed, even in the middle and high speed driving can also let you easily accelerate overtaking, with the CVT CVT CVT continuous gearbox that can simulate 8 gears, one word: Shun! In addition to the power upgrade, the new Wuling Capgemini has also added automatic headlights, automatic wipers and other configurations, and the car machine system has been upgraded to the Ling OS Lingxi system, the UI interface and functionality have been improved, coupled with the flexible seat layout, practicality is basically no match in this price segment.
I have to say that the new Wuling Capgemini in all aspects of the improvement perception is very obvious, but unfortunately, only two high-end models are equipped with high-power 1.5T engines, if the standard sales of the whole series can be significantly improved.
Ford Focus
Manufacturer guidance price: 108,88-153,800 yuan
Although the major car companies in the previous years crazy to put three-cylinder models, but the market sales show that the four-cylinder engine is the wealth code, so some models such as Yinglang, Veyron, Mai Ruibao XL and other models have returned to the four-cylinder camp, the effect is immediate, before the full range of three-cylinder engine Fox also saw hope, four-cylinder version is coming.
The new Focus is powered by a 1.5T engine code-named CAF479WQ6, the same engine that the Imprecia and Mondeo used, with a maximum power of 177 horsepower. Looking at the history of Fox, in fact, its history of using a three-cylinder engine is not short, as early as 2015, Fox introduced two three-cylinder engines of 1.0T and 1.5T, but at that time it also had a 1.6L four-cylinder engine pocket bottom, and the sixth-generation Fox listed at the end of 2018 became a full series of three-cylinders, and sales have plummeted since then. The new Focus has also been slightly refined, such as a new style of headlights and front grille, and on the basis of the regular version, the ST Line version and the S EDITION will be introduced, which has personalized rims, black rear spoilers and body pulls, etc., aiming to make a comeback.
At present, the new Fox has only exposed the declaration chart, the listing may have to wait until the second quarter, if it performs well, then the future Forres may not be able to return to the four-cylinder camp, do you expect?
Mercedes-Benz GLB
Manufacturer guidance price: 29.59-35.33 million yuan
Mercedes-Benz GLB has been controversial since its listing, the higher price has been the standard 1.3T engine of the whole series has been criticized by many people, perhaps hearing the voice of consumers, just recently listed in the new GLB, there is a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine OF GLB 220 model, the short board can finally be made up.
It is worth mentioning that after the renovation, the starting price of the GLB 200 has dropped to 295,900, replacing the previous GLB 180 model, and the configuration has also been upgraded. For example, the GLB 200 dynamic and stylish models have added LED high-performance headlights, the GLB 220 fashion and 4MATIC models are equipped with front seat heating, the second row of seats has been optimized, and the car system has been upgraded. Of course, the biggest highlight of the new car is undoubtedly the power, of which the GLB 200 is still equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the maximum power is 163 horsepower, the maximum torque is 250 Nm, matching the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; the GLB 220 is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 190 horsepower, a maximum torque of 300 Nm, matching an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, and providing four-wheel drive options, but the new car has also undergone some reductions, such as seat power adjustment, waist support, etc. have been cancelled. If you want to have to spend money on the option, it's very Mercedtful.
After making up for the shortcomings in power, the advantages of GLB's long wheelbase, 7 seats and luxurious interior atmosphere are more prominent, and sales will surely go further, what do you think?
