The demand in the field of family cars is extremely large, and it is still a must for many brands to give up, and in recent years, domestic brands and joint venture brands have launched a large number of this type of product.

Specifically, the front part of the new model is equipped with a flat hexagonal middle mesh, and the interior is filled with vertically arranged rain curtain panels. The front headlight group of the T-shaped on the left and right sides is extremely high in appearance, and the most eye-catching area is the part of the daytime lamp, which has a high degree of recognition after lighting, and the area of the LED headlights with far and near light is not large, which is very simple and capable.

The main design highlights of the side of the new car body are reflected in the slip-on styling, and a decorative line of doors and windows through the front and rear further enriches the details of the body.
The rear part of the Pentium B70 has a strong sense of layering, in which the ducktail formed by the tightening of the middle line and the through-type taillights play a good chemical effect. The light strip of the tail light group is relatively slender, and the main light group on both sides also has a virtual point-like brake light, and with the exhaust air at the rear end of the rear bag, the sports atmosphere of the whole vehicle is more intense.
Interior design
The new generation of Pentium B70 has also been comprehensively upgraded in terms of interior design, and the entire cockpit pays more attention to the creation of a sense of technology, getting rid of the slightly dull and boring interior style of the previous two generations. Among them, the entire T-shaped area of the new car is refreshing, the dual screen composed of the full LCD dashboard and the central control display screen is in line with today's mainstream trend, and the flat-bottomed double-width steering wheel in front of the main driver is very beautiful, and the grip belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the same level, and the punching process is carried out for the 3:00 and 9:00 positions.

The front seat surface of the new car is relatively wide, the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, and the wings on both sides have a certain degree of prominence, and the comfort and wrapping are good.
The rear seats of the new car are of the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, the recline angle between the rear backrest and the seat cushion is more appropriate, the seat cushion length is excellent, which can give the rear passengers good leg support, and the leg space is also greater than two fists, but due to the limitations of the slipback roof shape, the head space of the car is not abundant.
