Domestic comprehensive anti-epidemic, foreign comprehensive lying flat, overseas auto show, domestic look at the same!
About half a month ago, the Beijing Auto Show officially announced the postponement, which undoubtedly allows our auto media to live a labor day that can rest, but this is also a pain for domestic car enthusiasts, and there is no auto show in China, which means that it is not possible to contact the latest technology and latest models of the world manufacturers at the first time.
However, due to the postponement of the domestic auto show due to the comprehensive anti-epidemic, it does not delay these lying foreign holdings, the New York Auto Show was finally held smoothly this year after being suspended for two years, since the domestic auto show can not see new cars, then look at what new cars are worth paying attention to at the New York Auto Show.
ford
As a New York Auto Show, Ford as a local brand is also to do the friendship of landlords, Bronco Raptor as the most powerful Bronco in history, officially unveiled at the New York Auto Show.
The Bronco, which has a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine, can output 400 horsepower, in addition to a huge increase in power, bronco Raptor also increased the body width of 25cm, making the whole car look more imposing.
In addition to the powertrain, the chassis has also been further enhanced by Ford, equipped with the Raptor HOSS 4.0 racing suspension system, with a minimum ground clearance of 333 mm, an approach angle of 47.2 degrees, a departure angle of 40.5 degrees, and a span angle of 30.8 degrees.
There's also a full-box height steel frame and 37-inch all-terrain tires as standard, and the new car will also be equipped with a towing mode with a draggable payload of up to 4.5 tons.
Recently, there have been rumors in China that bronco will be introduced, and the Chinese version of Bronco is expected to be officially unveiled in the second half of this year, when the tank 500 will also be delivered in a large area, and when the two hardcore off-road models in China and the United States are facing off,I think it should be what many people are looking forward to.
In addition to Bronco, Ford's Ford GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition, which debuted at the New York Auto Show, is definitely the most eye-catching presence on the entire booth, and this generation of models will also be the masterpiece of the Ford GT, planning to produce a total of 1350 vehicles, and the static load will be officially discontinued in December 2022.
The livery of the new car comes from the car livery that won the third place GT40 in the 4 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, reproduced the red and gold color of the GT40, and added exaggerated carbon fiber materials to make the sporty posture of the whole car quite in place, and also equipped with 20-inch double five-frame wheels and Brembo multi-piston brake calipers, even if the car is simply parked there, you can know that this is a huge difference from other Ford GT.
In terms of power, the Ford GT Holman-Moody Heritage Edition is powered by a 3.5T twin-turbo V6 engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with a maximum power of 660 horsepower.
In addition to the fuel car camp, Ford's most concerned pure electric model is the F-150 Lightning that has been unveiled at major auto shows, to know that US President Biden test-drove this F-150 Lightning when he visited the Ford factory, which is enough to see how big a position the pickup truck model occupies in the minds of Americans.
But according to the current news, the possibility of F-150 Lightning entering the Chinese market is not very large, after all, the fuel version of the F-150 has almost no sales in China, let alone the electric version.
Jeep
The new Jeep Wagoneer L also made its debut at the New York Auto Show, compared to the regular version of the Wagoneer in terms of body length and wheelbase, the wheelbase increased by 178mm to 3302mm, and the length increased by 305mm to 5758mm.
Compared with the Land Rover Defender 130 version of the model only increase the length of the car without increasing the wheelbase, wagoneer L such lengths will be more harmonious in the overall visual experience, which also gives it the confidence to compete with the Celede ESV and Lincoln Navigator L.
The interior of the car is still a pure American design - there is no design, the full LCD instrument and the embedded central control screen are already routine operations, and the optional 10-inch HUD head-up display function and digital rearview mirrors can also make this big car have sufficient vision protection.
The Wagoneer L is equipped with Stellantis Group's new "Hurricane" twin-turbo 3.0L inline six-cylinder petrol engine. The maximum power is 426 hp and the peak torque is 635 Nm; while the Grand Wagoneer L is equipped with a high-power version with a maximum power of 517 hp and a peak torque of 678 Nm.
The new car offers three four-wheel drive systems, the Quadra-Trac I has a single-speed transfer case and the Quadra-Trac II has a two-speed transfer case that delivers 100% of the available torque to the wheels with maximum traction. The Quadra-Drive II is equipped with an electronic limited-slip differential that predicts low traction and actively adjusts torque distribution.
Although Jeep is mixed in the United States, but in the domestic market is already a marginal brand, many of which have the sales gap caused by the difference between the Chinese and American markets, but more is the rise of domestic brand SUVs, making these once high import SUVs are now in an awkward position.
Toyota
In recent years, the Toyota GR brand signboard is getting louder and louder, at the New York Auto Show Toyota also brought a new GR Corolla, this GR model based on the hatchback version of the Corolla, basically continued the GR Yaris operation routine: weight reduction, plus four-wheel drive, plus power!
At the appearance level, it can be clearly known that this is not a good Corolla, the large size of the net and the exaggerated wide body shape, to know that this wide body is not good-looking, it has a real wind guide design inside, and the Launch Edition version of the model is also equipped with an air intake design, so that the whole car looks very fierce from the front.
The three-out exhaust shape of the rear of the car is a kind of eye-catching feeling, with the diffuser below and the tail design above, making the overall rear look very compact, although the wide-body kit on both sides should make the vehicle look slightly bloated, but it does not feel this way on the GR Corolla.
The new car will be built on the improved TNGA GA-C platform and will continue to be powered by the G16E-GTS 1.6T three-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 300 horsepower and a maximum torque of 370 Nm. The drivetrain will offer a 6-speed manual transmission and a GR-Four four-wheel drive system, and the Circuit Edition model will also have front and rear limited-slip differential locks.
As the only four-door model under the Toyota GR brand, the GR Corolla should be the best flat replacement model for the GR Yaris, with almost the same architecture, the GR Corolla has a four-door design, making it more suitable for everyday driving.
However, as for whether it will be introduced to domestic sales, it is not known, but according to the frequency of Toyota's introduction of GR brand models in recent years, as well as the practicality of the model, the probability of introducing GR Corolla is much greater than that of GR Yaris.
nowadays
If the above models have introduced domestic uncertainty, then the probability of the modern mid-term modification of Paristi into the country is quite large, compared with the current model, the area of the front grille is significantly increased a lot, and the light group shape is also slightly adjusted, the vertical L-shaped daytime lamp seems to have a sense of Cadillac's vision, and the headlights are arranged near the fenders, this design is not very clear when the side collision damages the headlights.
Compared with the large changes in the front of the car, the rear of the car continues the appearance before the mid-term redesign, still horizontal and vertical shape design, with the chrome lower bumper below, the vehicle is very stocky, and the exhaust pipe of the unilateral double also gives such an SUV with a V6 engine a touch of sport.
The mid-term revamped Paristi has not changed much in the car, the biggest change is the use of the latest steering wheel style of Hyundai Group models, in addition, there seems to be no other configuration upgrades.
In the power section, the new model will be equipped with a 3.8L V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 291 hp and a maximum torque of 355 Nm. m, matching 8AT gearbox. And two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available for consumers to choose from.
Three driver views:
Although the models exhibited at the New York Auto Show are more biased towards the audience of the US market, but for the domestic country that cannot hold the Beijing Auto Show at present, such an international first-class auto show can also allow us to keep abreast of the latest information about foreign models, but it depends on how international brands view the Chinese market, then the postponed Beijing Auto Show may be the best stage, and then we will wait and see the Beijing Auto Show.
