As a domestic veteran car company, Chery has always had the reputation of "technical man", and its research in engine technology is almost no independent brand that can match it. Therefore, in this era of SUV fire, chery's SUV models launched in recent years with core technology support are also popular in the market.
But Chery's highlights in the field of SUVs, but it is difficult to cover up its dim in the field of cars, speaking of Chery's car series, it can be said that it is a bitter tear, due to the focus on the SUV in recent years, now there is no car that can be taken out, looking at the current Chery car products, there are only a few models such as the Arrizo 5 that are designed to be old.
On the other hand, Geely Xingrui, Hongqi H5, Qin PLUS and other brands of independent cars, which is not mixed? Perhaps Chery itself realized that it could not only make a difference in the SUV market, but also in the sedan sector. Therefore, just recently, the interior rendering of Chery's new sedan M1E (internal code) was exposed, and the car is expected to be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show.
According to the exposed spy photos of the new car, the new car has changed the old-fashioned shape of the Arrizo 5, using the same design language as the OMODA 5 model previously released by Chery, and the overall look is very exquisite. With the blessing of the narrow LED headlight group on both sides, the front face of the new car has got rid of the old atmosphere of the past and become more youthful.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts an uplifted and smooth waistline design, with a large slipback shape, very sporty, compared to the rounded ass under the small short suspension of The Irizer 5, the difference is very obvious. In terms of the rear, the vehicle adopts a simple rear design, but due to the painting reasons, the details are not yet known, but in terms of taillights, the triangular headlights on both sides have very modern elements, and if they are supplemented by a through-type taillight design, the sense of science and technology will not fall.
In terms of the interior of the new car, it is even more eye-catching, and the overall design atmosphere is very textured. The whole car adopts wrap-around leather seats, supplemented by color block design, which is very stylish. At the same time, the layout of the interior is also very simple, eliminating a lot of fancy physical buttons and replacing them with knob-type functional buttons, which is very grade. Most importantly, it is also equipped with a design with door seat adjustments such as Mercedes-Benz, and at first glance, unfamiliar with it, it is thought to be a Mercedes-Benz, and the B block is directly full. (PS: even Baidu Zhitu directly believes that this is a Mercedes-Benz)
At the same time, the sense of technology on the interior of the new car has not fallen, and the new car is equipped with a set of dual 12.3-inch technology screens, rich in entertainment functions, and supports functions such as the Internet of Vehicles and OTA upgrades. At the same time, it is also equipped with a camera on the A-pillar, which has a high probability of supporting fatigue detection, face recognition and other functions.
In terms of power, Chery, as a "technical house", will naturally not disappoint, and the new car is expected to be equipped with a 1.6T engine, of which the 1.6T engine has a maximum power of 197 horsepower and a peak torque of 290 Nm, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. This set of powertrains has certain advantages over the 1.5T of the competitors of the same level, and the follow-up or will be added 2.0T version in order to cope with the competition of the same level of products such as Xingrui, UNI-V and other 2.0T versions.
In summary, whether it is product strength or design, Chery's new car has shown us its strength, and also announced that Chery will start to exert its strength in the car market. According to Chery's naming habits, the M1E is likely to be named Arrizo 8, and it may also be 100,000-150,000 yuan in terms of pricing, which is the most competitive price range for independent cars. So what kind of splash do you think Chery's new car can make in the fiercely competitive autonomous compact car market?
