Second, configuration analysis
Although the Pentium B70S provides as many as seven models and is also divided into two different powertrains, it can be found from the correspondence of the model name that there are actually only four models according to the configuration, that is, inspiration players, hot-blooded knights, wisdom tide commanders and god of war kings. Let's take a look at which model has the most outstanding cost performance.
1.5T Inspiration Player (Guide Price 109,900 RMB)
As an entry-level model, the starting price of 1.5T inspiration players is only 109,900 yuan, but the configuration starting point is not very low, and the key safety configuration is very comprehensive, starting with 18-inch wheels.
Specifically, the 1.5T inspired players provide configurations including electric sunroof, LED combination headlights, LED daytime running lights, headlight height adjustable, exterior mirror power adjustment, exterior mirror automatic folding, exterior mirror heating, rear window heating defrost, rear wing, roof rack (non-loader), rear wiper, red caliper, square exhaust tailpipe, multi-function steering wheel, leather steering wheel, seat material PVC+ fabric, driver's seat 6-way electric adjustment, co-pilot manual 4-way seat, Rear seat ratio reclining, front visor (make-up mirror + lighting), front reading light, trunk lighting, rear center headrest, rear center and foot blower, number of speakers 6, 12V power socket front 1 rear 1, USB interface front 2 rear 1, dashcam interface, one-button lift (anti-pinch function), automatic window lift for locking car, keyless start, keyless entry, PM2.5 filter element; front front airbag, front seat airbag, electronic stability control (ESP), Electronic Parking System (EPB), Automatic Parking (AUTO HOLD), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD/EBV), Emergency Brake Assist (BA), Traction Control System (TCS/ASR/TRC), Hill Assist Control (HAC), Tire Pressure Alarm, Rear Parking Radar, Reversing Image (HD), Rear Door Child Protection Lock, Engine Electronic Anti-Theft; 12.3-inch Full-color HD Central Control Screen, Cruise Control System, Mobile Phone Internet, Driving Computer (fuel consumption, temperature, etc.) with 18-inch rims and 225/55 R18 tire specifications.
But after all, it is an entry-level model, 1.5T inspired players lack of auxiliary driving system and some comfort configuration, although it is no problem to meet daily use, but the configuration is obviously not rich enough.
1.5T Hot Blood Knight (guide price 118,900 yuan)
The second model that came to 1.5T, the 1.5T Hot Blood Knight increased by 9,000 yuan in terms of price, but compared with the entry-level version, it added a lot of comfort configuration, and also increased some technology configurations.
Its added/upgraded configurations include an openable electric panoramic sunroof, headlights automatically light-sensitive on/off, intelligent induction wiper, welcome lighting (main driver); electronic shift, front seat heating, driver's seat memory, automatic rear sliding in the driver's seat, dual-temperature zone air conditioning, electric trunk; front parking radar, co-driver seat belt untied warning; some OTA, 7-inch LCD instrument combination, car wifi hotspot, remote function (with mobile APP), network function (integrated in the audio host).
Although the price difference is not large, the upgrade of its configuration part is still relatively obvious, and there is also a significant improvement in the car experience. However, the performance in terms of cost performance is still not particularly outstanding.
1.5T Zhichao Commander (Guide Price 126,900 Yuan)
As the middle and highest of the four models of 1.5T, the price of the 1.5T Zhichao Commander has increased by 8,000 yuan again, while also providing more complete driving assistance functions and continuing to improve the safety configuration.
1.5T Zhichao Commander added/upgraded the configuration to LED taillight rhythm, intelligent rain induction sunroof closure; rear center armrest, USB fast charge function front 2 rear 1, bezel-less inner mirror, electronic anti-glare inner rearview mirror, interior four-door door atmosphere light, super filter; side safety curtain, intelligent tire pressure display, 360° panoramic image, intelligent far and near light switching (IHC), lane departure warning system (LDW), lane keeping assist (LKA), front vehicle collision warning (FCW), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Intelligent Speed Limit Reminder, Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), Integrated Cruise (ICA), Lane Change Assist LCDA (5-in-1), Adaptive Cruise System (ACC), Tire Pressure Alarm Push Nearby Service Stations.
On the whole, this model is very good in terms of configuration richness and practicality, coupled with the small increase in price, so the cost performance is also very prominent.
1.5T God of War King (guide price 134,900 yuan)
As the top of the 1.5T model, the price of the 1.5T God of War King reached 134,900 yuan, which is 8,000 yuan higher than the 1.5T Zhichao Commander, but the configuration part is the highest in the whole series, and the overall configuration of the luxury has also been significantly improved.
Additional/upgraded features include seat material suede, sub-instrument panel mood lights, vehicle OTA, Ethernet electrical architecture, automatic parking, wireless phone charging, Bluetooth key, upgraded 19-inch rim and 245/45 R19 tire specifications.
If you simply look at the price difference and the change of configuration, in fact, the difference of 8,000 yuan is quite valuable, but relatively speaking, the increased configuration can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, not necessary.
2.0T Hot Blood Knight (guide price 126,900 yuan)
The price of the 2.0T Hot Blood Knight is 8,000 yuan higher than that of the 1.5T Hot Blood Knight, and the powertrain is upgraded to 2.0T+6AT, and the other configurations are the same.
