What is the traffic password for car building? At the beginning of the century, the independent brand may tell you that "plagiarism", as long as the copy is fast, the joint venture will immediately become domestic. But in recent years, this ethos seems to have changed, and the new traffic code has become "to create a fuel vehicle with a new energy face." That's right, though it sounds very unreliable. But before there is Changan UNI-T, Changan Ford EVOS, and then there is today's protagonist SAIC Roewe Whale, all rely on this trick to eat all over the sky.
A few days ago, relying on the "Alibaba" + "SAIC" two major financial fathers of SAIC Roewe Whale new car has officially opened pre-sale, the pre-sale range is: 16.68-19.28 million yuan, and launched 3 configuration models to choose from. With the golden combination of 2.0T engine + Aisin 8AT and Alibaba's valued zhilian service, SAIC Roewe Whale, which has just entered the jianghu, has set its sights on the compact SUV market with the most tight inner roll. Whether it is a sword galloping through the rivers and lakes, or a tragic beating by the rivers and lakes, depends on its specific product performance.
As the saying goes, "seeing words is like seeing people", and SAIC Roewe whale is "seeing names like seeing faces". It adopts a unique bionic design concept, through the hollow radiation grille design, forming a pattern similar to that of fin whales.
In terms of lamp source, SAIC Roewe Whale adopts a through-line light strip + split headlight group design built into the diversion slot, which not only retains the trendy elements, but also has a good light source effect.
The side and tail also have a "new energy face", a sneaky roof, a two-color body, a blackened through-the-taillight and a two-color five-spoke spoke, all of which add a bit of sporty fashion texture to the whole car.
In addition, the design that is most appreciated by the editor is also a segmented rear spoiler at the tail, and the rich modeling design makes the tail more recognizable.
In terms of interior, is there a sense of déjà vu, which generally retains the interior design of the Roewe RX5 MAX, using a double 12.3-inch dual screen design, with a blue and white contrast color matching, to bring a strong minimalist atmosphere.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of savoy Roewe whales are 4702/1903/1691 mm, and the wheelbase is 2765 mm. Even in the extremely internally wound compact SUV market, this size figure is in the T1 ranks. For example, the popular Honda CR-V and Haval H6 can only avoid its sharp edge, and only BYD Song DM-i can compete with it. Combined with the comfort features such as the panoramic sunroof, the electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, the heating of the front seat and the adjustment of the backrest of the second row of seats, it is a big highlight.
In terms of configuration, SAIC Roewe Whale has not lost the name of "domestic configuration full level". As the first model equipped with the Roselle intelligent cockpit system, it can be said that it is "taking the dragon slaying knife at the beginning", and it is supported by the car machine system supported by the technology of Dharma Academy, Tmall Genie and Zebra Zhixing, which can not only realize the common navigation, car home interconnection, OTA upgrade functions, but also realize barrier-free communication between users and vehicles, and control the configuration of the car through voice. In addition, creative immersive map navigation, in-car entertainment and mini-programs are also quite eye-catching.
In terms of active driving configuration, WITH the help of multiple millimeter-wave radars and high-definition cameras, SAIC Roewe Whale can achieve a number of configurations including automatic parking, NGP intelligent driving pilot, fatigue driving tips, 360-degree panoramic images, reversing side warning, etc., which is the mainstream level of the same price range.
In terms of power, SAIC Roewe Whale will be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a model of 20L4E produced by SAIC Motor Group Co., Ltd., with a maximum power of 170 kW and a peak torque of 370 Nm, matched with the Aisin 8AT gearbox. This power configuration is regarded as the "old actor" of the SAIC family, and saic iMAX8 and SAIC Roewe RX5 MAX have been equipped with this configuration before, which is a relatively mature power system. In terms of fuel economy and power smoothness, there are more eye-catching performances.
At last:
Unlike other compact SUVs, judging from the pre-priced price previously exposed by SAIC Roewe Whale, its listing has set its sights on the mid-to-high-end market of compact SUVs, and regardless of positioning and pricing, it collided with the high-selling Honda CR-V car. And after a rough comparison, guess what? Saic Roewe Whale's winning percentage is still very large, rich configuration, 2.0T + 8AT gold combination, indeed have an advantage over the Honda CR-V. If you change the logo to Toyota, you will properly surpass the Honda CR-V. So, what do you think of this new car? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
