When did Mercedes-Benz also learn the Volkswagen family's "matryoshka operation"?
Seeing the Mercedes-Benz T-class, I can't help but remind xiaobian of the Volkswagen family's network bridge, "In fact, the Volkswagen brand has only one car, that is the Golf, the shorter one is called Polo, the flattening is called Shangku, the plus ass is Sagittarius, the name is Maiteng, the elongation is Passat, the lengthening is Phaeton, the kneading is a Beetle, the pinching edge is Tuan, the heightened Change of Path, the support of the big change of Touareg. ”
To be honest, this wave of operations of the Mercedes-Benz T-Class is really very similar to a certain car of the fat version of Mercedes-AMG. The sharp headlights with sharp edges have also become more rounded on the T-class, and the low body posture has also become tall and burly, plus the design of this yellow car paint and the first two pairs of LOGOs, Xiaobian feels that it is really too similar!
Specifically, the Mercedes-Benz T-Class is based on the new generation of Citan, positioning a compact MPV, and its main role in the family matrix is to fill the market gap between the V class and the B class. In addition, according to detailed reports, the new car will provide a standard wheelbase 5-seat model in the initial stage, and there will be a high probability of bringing a 7-seat long-wheelbase model in the middle and late stages.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts dual LED daily running lights, and the overall look is full of fashion. On the side, the Mercedes-Benz T-Class uses more passenger car design language, no exaggerated waistline; no concave and convex side door trim, the overall feeling is decent. The body size is 4498/1859/1811mm, the wheelbase is 2716mm, and although the ruler is very large, it still retains the design of the sliding door, and also reveals the luxury concept of Mercedes-Benz in terms of details.
In terms of the rear, the more square shape, coupled with the taillight design of the double LED light strip, not only echoes with the headlights but also incorporates the fashion elements of the brand itself.
In terms of interior, the new car continues the design style of Mercedes-Benz, the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and the 7-inch suspension central control screen are very attractive, but now that it is 2022, will the 7-inch screen be too small? Even if the functions covered internally are richer, it will not be too convenient to operate...
In terms of materials, the large-scale plastic material can be seen, but fortunately, the Mercedes-Benz LOGO on the gear handle and a steering wheel that looks more luxurious also bring a good luxurious atmosphere to the interior. The 7-inch touchscreen has an MBUX infotainment system built in, which is compatible with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. In addition, the new car is equipped with a keyless system, 7 airbags and ADAS driver assistance system, practical settings, small table panels behind the front seats, and 4/6 ratio reclining of the rear seats.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with the same powertrain as the Renault Kangoo model, including a 1.3T engine and a 1.5T diesel engine, of which the 1.3T maximum power is 102 hp and 131 hp, respectively, and the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 75, 95 and 116 hp, respectively.
In fact, the "main battlefield" of Mercedes-Benz T-class is in Europe, if according to the current model cost performance, the follow-up introduction of domestic without a suitable price, I am afraid that there is no way to attract too many consumers, after all, Chinese users like the big tradition has never been abandoned, but Mercedes-Benz is very aware of the use needs of Chinese users, the follow-up introduction of domestic may be directly to a larger model may not be possible!
