Chevrolet should be one of the most people-friendly joint venture brands in the Chinese market, Maribal XL as a mid-level car, the price of about 1560,000 can start a 2.0T power version, and the purchase price of small SUV Chuangku fell to 890,000, the most exaggerated time can be reduced to more than 60,000, hit the price range of independent brands, but the market performance of Chuangku is not good, most of the time the monthly sales are only three digits, february, March and even continuous only get double-digit sales.
In fact, the appearance of Chuangku is not bad, and it belongs to the upstream level in the same class of models, after all, design has always been Chevrolet's strength. The appearance of Chuangku has a strong sports attribute, the shape is dynamic, the lines are full of power, most of the potential consumers at this price point are young people, and the style of Chuangku is actually more in line with their preferences.
The price is cheap and good-looking, but it is not selling well, there must be a reason, and to a large extent, it is due to the core power system, the current Chuangku full series uses a three-cylinder engine, and the displacement is only 1.0T and 1.3T, which is a minefield for domestic consumers. Maybe Chevrolet is beginning to understand this, and in order to boost sales, it is finally going to change the three-cylinder engine on the upcoming new Chuangku.
The new Chuangku is equipped with a four-cylinder 1.5T engine, the maximum horsepower reaches 180Ps, the performance belongs to the upstream level, which is stronger than Binzhi's 1.5T Earth Dream, which should be a happy thing for consumers, after all, not only has the three cylinders been changed, but the power is better than before. It is reported that the RS version equipped with the 1.5T four-cylinder engine will be targeted in the details, which also means that it will be more aggressive in design than the current model. As for the interior, it has not yet been exposed, but it is likely to retain the style of the current model.
In terms of size, Chuangku is still maintained at 4270/1791/1610 (1627) mm, the wheelbase is 2570mm, space is not the advantage of this car, more suitable for use as a scooter, of course, the car is flexible and parking is convenient, which is a trait that large cars do not have.
With the new Chuangku changed the power of this short board, basically there is no slot point, the overall competitiveness is greatly strengthened, if the price increase is not large, it may be expected to change the current model sales dismal situation.
