Although China has become the world's second largest supercar market, but for civilian performance cars, China's consumption power is really general, but with the gradual rejuvenation of the middle class, more and more consumers began to focus on entry-level performance cars, in fact, in the country such as golf GTI, Lynk & Co 03+ and other models are still relatively mainstream, especially the first two sales have been quite good, but the choice of space is still too small, but today I want to tell you a good news, this year at least 4 steel gun models will be sold in China, And they are all well-known steel cannons, today we will give you an inventory of the steel cannon models that will enter China in 2022.
The representative work of Korean performance cars - Elantra N
Elantra N is definitely a representative of Korean performance cars, and the introduction of Elantra N into The country is already a sure thing, and at the end of last year, it was specially introduced to introduce multiple cars for the media to test drive and warm up the market. Elantra N is the representative of the modern high-performance department, is expected to be introduced in localization this year, there will be Beijing Hyundai manufacturing and sales, Elantra N if it can be localized, its price will be in line with the Golf GTI and Lynk & Co 03+, is a real amount of performance car, the appearance and the ordinary version of the Elantra shape is similar, a large number of sharp lines highlight the sense of sport, compared to the ordinary version of the appearance of the more aggressive sports kit. The interior basically continues the shape of the ordinary version of the model, but it highlights the sports atmosphere, such as the fur-turning interior and the bucket-type sports seats. The power side is its biggest highlight, it is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine with a maximum horsepower of 280 hp, peak torque of 392 Nm, and also comes with its own supercharged mode, which can provide an additional 10 horsepower, and the transmission is an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The most expensive three-cylinder car - GR Yaris
GR Yaris Yaris in recent years in the JDM fan circle is very active, the recent official introduction of the news has been confirmed, and this controversial three-cylinder small steel gun is also about to enter China through the official introduction of the way to sell, in fact, GR Yaris belongs to a standardized rally car, its strength can not be underestimated, the most critical its price is not cheap, according to the introduction cost and manufacturing cost calculation, the domestic sales of GR Yaris naked car is expected to be in 400,000 +, the landing price is close to 500,000 yuan mark, Worthy of being the most expensive three-cylinder car. Exterior, GR Yaris is based on a three-door version of Yaris, but in some details it is more sporty, such as a large honeycomb net and more exaggerated encirclement, and has a larger wheel hub and brake discs. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine known as the strongest three-cylinder engine, the maximum horsepower can reach 272 horses, the torque has reached 360 Nm, it should be known that this is an A0-class car, the weight of the car is only a little more than 1 ton, in the matching 6MT gearbox, it is definitely one of the most fun models in China.
New North's fastest front-drive car, the Civic TYPE R
This year is worthy of the year of steel cannons, the front foot Elantra N announced the domestic back foot Civic TYPE R announced the introduction of CKD assembly, the domestic high-performance steel gun has one more car, but also known as the JDM three gods, new north the fastest front-drive Civic TYPE R, for the domestic Honda fans is simply great news. In addition, the latest eleventh-generation models have been introduced, and they are expected to be released at the same time as the Japanese version. The appearance will basically follow the design idea of the hatchback version of the 11th generation Civic, but because it is still in the spy state, I don't know what changes have been made, but the classic large-size tail and three exhaust will not be absent. In terms of power, it is expected to be equipped with a 2.0T engine, and with reference to the current 306 horsepower, it is definitely not a good guy, and the gearbox is expected to match the 6MT gearbox.
The king of small steel cannons - Fiat Abarth
Abarth is a sub-brand of Fiat, dedicated to small performance cars, of which the classic model is based on the Fiat 500 to build the 595, 695, it is reported that the first batch of 50 models have been sent to China, is expected to be officially delivered in May, and the Abarth delivery center in Hangzhou is also officially open, waiting for the first batch of models to arrive. The Abarth 595/695 models sold in China will be available in both the regular version and the soft-top convertible version, and since it is based on the Fiat 500, all the exterior designs have only changed on the sports kit, but the cute body is still funny, and it will not be associated with a small steel cannon. The power section will be powered by a 1.4T turbocharged engine with maximum horsepower ranging from 145 to 177 hp depending on the version, matching a 5MT or 5-speed sequential semi-automatic transmission, which can be seen as a very hardcore toy.
Summary: This year's steel cannon market highlights are quite a lot, but also a year with greater consumer choice space, I believe that there will be more and more steel gun models introduced into the country in the future, but also let the domestic steel gun consumers enjoy the joy, of course, I also believe that there will be more Chinese brands in the future to manufacture small steel cannons, so that Chinese cars are famous in the world.
