No matter how the auto market changes, compact SUVs have always been a fat meat that major automakers are reluctant to let go. The huge consumer base continues to stimulate car companies to launch more new models. According to the February production and sales chart released by the China Automobile Association, even in February, which was deeply affected by the Spring Festival, the epidemic and production capacity, the production and sales of SUV models still reached 1.762 million units and 1.79 million units, respectively, making it a well-deserved king of production and sales in the automobile market.
On March 18, the compact SUV market ushered in a new entrant. FAW Besturn's new compact SUV Besturn B70S was officially launched, and a total of 7 models were launched on the new car market, with a price range of 10.99 to 142,900 yuan. So, when the menacing Pentium B70S meets the "rookie" Changan UNI-T, what kind of sparks will burst out?
Fashion vs Sport
Personality leads the way
"Personality" and "originality" have become two indispensable elements for young users to buy a car, and people expect to buy a model full of "exclusivity". Therefore, models with original design language have become the first step to impress young users.
The Pentium B70S uses a new design language to break the tacky feeling of the past in one fell swoop. The front face adopts a split grille design, the upper grille area is small, and the "Y" LED headlights of the two wings are connected to a through-line design. The lower grille area is trapezoidal in shape, and the interior adopts regular lines to form an excellent light and shadow effect. In addition, the front face also uses a large number of blackening elements. For example, the upper and lower grilles, front surrounds, and LED lights contrast with the brightly colored bodywork to enrich the visual experience.
In terms of side, the Pentium B70S has obvious coupe features, with a multi-fold waist line + a slipback roof + hidden door handles, creating a unique fluency of the car. The two-tone whirlwind wheels further amplify the visual effect and show a stronger sporty texture through the blackened eyebrows.
In terms of tail, the Pentium B70S adopts a similar hatchback design, with a total of two exhaust gases from the upper run-through taillights and bilateral sides, bringing a super sporty style. At the same time, a large number of blackened elements and chrome trims are used at the rear, which further enhances the texture of the whole vehicle.
Changan UNI-T continues the classic language of the family, using a borderless grille + large size deflector design, with two wings such as blade LED headlights, the first sight has a strong "lethality". In addition, the front face adopts three colors of gray, black and orange, which further highlights the sense of movement with the help of the three-dimensional front lip.
In terms of side, Changan UNI-T also adopts multi-fold line + slipback design + hidden door handle, but with the assistance of a short and tough body, it gives people more of the sullen and wild feeling of the SUV. The black wheels + orange brake calipers also indirectly strengthen the sporty temperament of the whole vehicle.
The tail is the largest area of highlights. The blackened tail, exaggerated diffuser, just the right amount of orange, the cold tail LED headlights and the exhaust fumes from both sides make the tail extremely recognizable. In addition, Changan UNI-T will also provide a tail spoiler decorative parts in a sporty color for users to choose from to continue the movement to the end.
The appearance of the two models has its own characteristics, and the Pentium B70S focuses more on the coupe style, mainly fashion and simplicity. Changan UNI-T focuses on the creation of a sense of movement, perfectly integrating the novel elements loved by young people. But for the car uncle, the Pentium B70S is more in line with the eye rim, the originality is higher, and the visual effect of the side is more comfortable.
Speed is closer
Motivation becomes key
If appearance is the first step, power performance is the key foregone conclusion, after all, what boy has not longed for the day of chasing the wind?
The Pentium B70S will offer two power combinations. Among them, the 1.5T engine + BorgWarner 7DCT transmission has a maximum power of 124 kW, a peak torque of 258 Nm, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.7L/100 km by NEDC. 2.0T engine + Aisin 6AT transmission, maximum power of 165 kW, peak torque of 340 Nm, NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.2L/100 km.
In contrast, Changan UNI-T will be equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale NE 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 171 kW and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is 6.7L/100 km.
In terms of power, it is definitely the performance of Changan UNI-T that is more "fragrant". The golden combination of 2.0T+8AT not only has excellent performance in power output, but also has stable fuel economy. In contrast, although the Pentium B70S has a rich power combination, it is still slightly inferior to changan UNI-T.
Uncle Che summed up
In my personal opinion, compared with the Pentium B70S, Changan UNI-T is better in all aspects of synthesis. For young friends, the appearance language of Chang'an UNI-T is full of tension, and the love of young people such as "blackening", "large size", "spoiler" and "layering" is vividly expressed. In terms of power, Changan UNI-T is a T1 product in the same level of models, and the gold collocation of 2.0T+8AT can definitely achieve the user's dream of pushing back. Therefore, Uncle Che recommends young friends to buy Changan UNI-T.
