The speed of development of China's automobile industry is beyond the estimation of the vast majority of witnesses. The older generation of people who struggled for the automobile cause experienced the historical memory of the high-end car - "Big Red Flag" carrying the glory of the nation forward. And now, after absorbing advanced ideas, we have begun to lead, and before the new energy era officially covers the planet, we finally wait for the day when Chinese brand athletes will wake up.
The process of awakening needs to be stimulated, and the source is that the joint venture brand is the first to conquer this market with a more efficient and clean small displacement turbine engine. Those carrying 1. XT engine, the power easily broke through the "100 horses" of excellent control of the family car, quickly poured into the huge demand of the market, accurately gained the attention of young consumers, more effectively driven the automotive aftermarket industry such as modification.
So, you understand the real significance of the existence of those low-priced home sports models.
01. GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard
//////////////////////
9.83~131,800 yuan
Influenced by the 10th generation turbo Civic, there are indeed many Chinese brands that have responded, but models like GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard that directly hit the pain points of users, but when thrown to the market, it will inevitably cause a wave. And the "success" of Shadow Leopard is undoubtedly fully prepared.
The appearance of the Shadow Leopard is obviously fully investigated for the current young people's preferences for cars. For example, drawing on the fighter-style front face mesh shape, the decorative frame treatment with different colors from the body, as well as the diffuser imitating the carbon fiber pattern in the rear, and the upturned "ducktail tail" learned from the details of the sports model, all young people want almost all can be found in the shadow leopard, full of heart.
Maybe this is the strength of the Chinese brand, they can be based on the compact sports style, but also to ensure a pretty good riding space, which can indeed allow young people to accept the seven points of heat in addition to eliminating the other three points of concern, Shadow Leopard 2736mm wheelbase can naturally solve a lot of problems.
Powerly, the Shadow Leopard's 1.5T engine can output a maximum power of 177Ps and a peak torque of 270Nm, and the "177" figure is not only aimed at the Honda Civic, but also hits the part that consumers are most concerned about. From the early stage of listing to link the "Asian flyer" - Su Bingtian, modifying the price of the model, and then gradually brushing the whole network with various "challenge terriers", the name of Shadow Leopard will definitely push the popularity of the Chinese brand compact sports car to the climax.
02.MG5 Scorpio
//////////////////////
10.29~117,900 yuan
And this second model is the MG5 Scorpio that was just launched in early April, if the Shadow Leopard captures the fantasy of young consumers about the sports-style model, then the MG5 Scorpio is obviously to get the modification work for you. After years of tempering, mg5 this time came up to give young people a rather exaggerated appearance and restless personality.
Such a forced approach seems to work well, the new car's exclusive passion lemon coating is absolutely conspicuous in the car river, and the extraordinarily exaggerated grille and tungsten steel "front shovel" combine to create an uninhibited and rebellious style. The sneak-style body design on the body of the sporty compact sedan has gradually been accepted by consumers of all ages. The design style of the rear of the car is slightly convergent, but the movement elements of the rear wing, diffuser, and four-out exhaust are not absent.
Perhaps the most addictive thing about the MG5 Scorpio is the exhaust system in which the development team participated in the sound optimization, of course, in addition to the four Michelin PRIMACY 3ST Tires matched to the new car, which is obviously more conscientious than the "skates" on the Shadow Leopard, which will also greatly improve the handling level of the vehicle.
After being reborn and taken from the technological interior of the MG ONE design style, the MG5 Scorpio is really not disappointed in the power data that people are most concerned about. The retuned 1.5T engine has more outstanding data: 188Ps, 285Nm, the transmission of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 6.9 seconds.
03. Changan UNI-V
//////////////////////
108,900 to 131,900 yuan
Compared with the shadow leopard and MG5 Scorpio, although Changan UNI-V ranks among the compact sports market, it does not choose to make a fuss about the design of the teeth and claws, but uses a more advanced and elegant hatchback shape to show people, yes, its side face really looks a bit like - A7.
With the UNI family's borderless grille, long, technology-rich light cluster design, concealed door handles, and an X-tail wing that supports electric lifting, the Changan UNI-V does look like it has spent a lot of money on the body design. When you feel that Chinese brand models have been able to understand the sports style, UNI-V seems to have entered the next era.
The style of super technical attributes and natural stretching is also used in the carriage. It costs more than 100,000 yuan to find such a design, so lamenting the rapid development of China's automobile industry is also a real emotional outpouring. However, this steering wheel that is eager to integrate into the futuristic full of edges and angles, the diameter is too small and the shape is too sci-fi, I am really afraid that I can't appreciate it myself.
Fortunately, the power of UNI-V is not due to the cost of modeling and crotch, 188Ps, 300Nm Blue Whale series 1.5T engine to ensure "entry sports". It is reported that in the future, the model equipped with the 2.0T engine will also become the flagship pillar of the UNI-V car series, so that this entry coupe should be more interesting.
04. Geely Binrui COOL
//////////////////////
Not yet available
At first, I wanted to put the Lynk & Co 03 in this position, but I wanted to think about it first because of the price, and the second was because the power of more than 1.5T finally chose this upcoming Geely Binrui COOL. As the flagship model of the Binrui model system, binrui COOL has undergone considerable upgrades in appearance, interior and power parts, and the 1.5T engine provides more possibilities under the appearance of the younger vehicle.
Based on the conventional power of Binrui, Binrui COOL's full set of sports kits really makes this car a lot of spirit. There are even some aerodynamic designs integrated into the whole set of design elements, such as the original fog light area has been designed with air ducts, which not only plays a role in optimizing wind resistance, but also effectively improves the heat dissipation effect of the brakes. With the official imitation of carbon fiber tail fins and the panamera-style taillight internal structure, Binrui COOL has really made efforts in creating a youthful style.
The interior also completely abandons the shadow of the ordinary version of the model as the design of the last century, and replaces it with the "basic configuration" of young people's car purchases - Dalian Screen, and the workmanship materials are also deliberately moving closer to higher-level models, after all, consumers really eat this set.
This model directly facing the "Z era", that is, the post-95 consumer group, even dots the "95" element throughout the carriage, I don't know if the 1.5T 181Ps engine that was first reloaded in the Binrui car series can make these energetic consumers move?
Written in the end: Just like the general trend of the new energy era, the market for niche, personalized compact home sports models seems to have a simple structure, but the standards that need to be considered by the product itself are increasing. The challenge for Chinese brands is not only the development of simple vehicle technology, but also the need to let young consumers experience the charm of fuel vehicles one last time before the advent of the electric era.
