[Aika Car Real Shooting Experience]
A few years ago, domestic cars in the design, there are always more or less borrowed from the shadow of foreign car brands, in the design level always seems to be criticized in one breath. But with the rapid development of China's auto market, this stereotype has gradually changed. With the deep cultivation and fermentation of the "national tide" design concept in various markets in China, the "national tide" has slowly become a concept and banner of China's automobile manufacturing design. And the domestic automobile manufacturers have also come up with their own national tide to carry the top work, harvested the double harvest of sales and word of mouth. As a pioneer of the "national tide" concept, SAIC Roewe officially unveiled a new generation of "national tide" SUV model - Roewe Whale on March 14. Can such a complete new product resonate deeply with today's young consumers? Get both sales and word-of-mouth compliments? Let's look down.
The Roewe Whale, which is a new SUV model of SAIC Roewe, has changed its previous digital design concept and adopted a new "bionic intelligent driving life body" design to create a new product that perfectly integrates technology and art. The new product is expected to officially open pre-sale on March 17, so let's wait and see.

The Roewe whale in this real shooting adopts the design concept of "bionic intelligent driving life body", which looks like a deep-sea giant whale in appearance design. We can see whale-specific whale stripes, whiskers, and whale fins on the model, as if the giant whale is full of pulsating vitality.
Secondly, we can also see the embellishment and flow of many golden elements on the real-time model. The gold decoration is like the golden coastline that carries the giant whale, charming and elegant. Roewe Whale adopts a bionic technology grille with a pleated cut design, and the 30 ridges are fan-shaped, full of tension and vitality. At a glance, you can feel the breath of a whale.
Roewe Whale's headlights follow the shape of the RX5 MAX, with the daytime running lights/turn signals above being narrow and slender and running from side to side, blending in with the entire whale-patterned breathing grille. The low/low beam lamp below is composed of two highly integrated LED modules, which are rich in layers and design.
The roewe whale side adopts a very dynamic whale-style slipback design, and the body posture of the rear up front is extremely dynamic. The 2760mm wheelbase guarantees ample seating space. The concealed door handle of the four doors further optimises aerodynamics.
Like the RX5 MAX, Roewe Whale uses low-wind resistance contrast Y-shaped rearview mirrors that resemble BMW M in terms of styling. When you look at the pair of rearview mirrors again, you will find that it seems to be the whale fin of a giant whale. When the vehicle starts to open the rearview mirror, it has vitality like a front fin breaking water.
Roewe Whale features a new five-spoke contrasting guilder rim with red calipers. In terms of color, the silver black and red embellishments create a little sporty atmosphere for the whole set of white-looking Roewe whales. The tires match the RAX5 MAX with the main comfortable Michelin PRIMACY 4 series, the specification is 234/45 R19, reference 1500 / bar.
Compared with the general SUV model, the rear of the Roewe Whale has a significant upward lifting attitude. The addition of the colorful and gorgeous shape of the whale's tail fin tail wing makes the whole vehicle suddenly have the spiritual animation surface of the giant whale entering the sea and the tail fin swinging. The addition of the functional upper rear wing also optimizes aerodynamics and effectively reduces wind resistance at high speeds.
In terms of tail lights, Roewe Whale adopts longitudinal deep-sea spark LED tail lights, which are completely different from the previous Roewe models. In terms of exhaust, a layout of two bilateral locations is adopted.
Appearance: Giant Whale Leaping Sea ----1
Frankly speaking, I personally prefer the interior styling of roewe whales to the appearance of Roewe whales. The eye-catching high-grade opalescent interior atmosphere, like a giant sperm whale to bring a visual impact. In terms of central control, Roewe Whale adopts a dual 12.3-inch IMAX advanced screen, and the left and right dual screens can be connected to each other to switch.
The new three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel has a high-grade and elegant shape, with punching, stitching and hollowing, and the grip is obviously better than that of the RX5 MAX. The multi-function buttons on both sides have been integrated and are very convenient to use. If you look closely, you'll also see that roewe whales are equipped with paddle shifters and have detectors behind the steering wheel that monitor the driver's driving conditions. Of course, the most eye-catching and most likable thing about the entire steering wheel is undoubtedly the "whale" word in the middle of the steering wheel, and the texture is full of points.
Since the Roewe Whale is a trial model, please understand that the vehicle and machine system is not open for shooting.
Engineers revealed that Roewe Whale has 256 colors of luxury interior mood lights, you can adjust the sense of atmosphere in the car according to your mood, to create a deep-sea light show exclusive to you.
In terms of the center console, Roewe Whale uses a large number of soft materials to cover the texture, and the high-grade sea blue color combination is also eye-catching. The addition of BOSE-branded audio tailored to whales creates a theater-like top-notch listening experience. The whale's jumping tail fin-like door handle shows the small thinking of the Roewe whale designer.
The gear shift mechanism, similar to the projection shape of a flat giant whale, combines design and decency. The wide lateral area of the gear handle gives the impression of a cruise ship at the helm of the cabin.
Like many Roewe models, Roewe Whale also uses a panoramic sunroof, but due to the rear shape of the car, the second half of the panoramic sunroof is slightly smaller.
In terms of seats, Roewe Whale uses ergonomic zero-sense leather sports seats. The filling is thick and soft, the coverage is outstanding, and the thickness and seat size of the entire seat filler are obviously evolved compared with the old Roewe models, and have a certain sense of grade. In terms of configuration, the main passenger seat has multi-directional electric adjustment.
The rear seats feature similar design details to the front seats, and the backrest angle is adjustable in three segments. This allows the rear passengers to have a suitable sitting position as well.
The unique sea blue and milky white of sperm whales shine on the exclusive seats of Roewe whales, and the giant whale LOGO embedded on the headrest is the finishing touch of the entire interior.
The height of the experiencer is 178cm, and the height of the roewe whale front seat is adjusted to the minimum, and the head space is about one punch.
Keeping the front seat position unchanged, the same experiencer sat in the second row of Roewe Whale, at this time there is about one punch left in the head space and less than three punches in the leg space. Limited by the rear shape, the front and rear head space of the Roewe Whale is average, but the performance of the rear leg space is very eye-catching and quite spacious.
The volume of the Roewe whale luggage compartment has not yet been announced, the volume space under the conventional form is not large, and the height of the platform is slightly higher. Fortunately, its rear seat back supports 4/6 ratio reclining, which can achieve a flat effect after being reclined. It is particularly noteworthy that the open button of its trunk is on the O of Roewe ROEWE.
At present, the specific power parameters of Roewe Whale have not been announced, and the engine of the real-shot model or the same 2.0T engine of the RX5 MAX has a maximum power of 170kW (231 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 370Nm.
In terms of suspension system, Roewe Whale adopts front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension structure.
Editor's Summary: Whether it is the appearance of the mimetic giant whale or the interior layout of the sperm whale, the new Roewe whale created by the SAIC Roewe brand is indeed eye-catching. Coupled with the many design ideas of the whole vehicle, we can fully see the attitude of SAIC Roewe designers to this new car, and also show savoy Roewe's huge expectations for this upward product. However, in order to create a high-pitched posture of the giant whale's tail fin, the head space of the vehicle, the volume of the luggage compartment and the size of the panoramic sunroof have been greatly constrained. But flawed, Roewe Whale is still a masterpiece worth looking forward to. From the design point of view, Roewe Whale is absolutely remarkable, but as for the price? Let's focus on the official pre-sale on March 17, the day after tomorrow.
