With the development of industrial technology, the appearance design of the car has also made a qualitative leap, many imaginative ideas can become a reality, and the shape of the car is no longer the same. But at the same time, the design of many new cars has also begun to gradually release themselves, such as the BMW 7 Series model that has just debuted, and the design of its front face has caused extensive discussion on the Internet, and everyone's views on it are mixed.
In contrast, many classic models, although the design elements are simple, but very attractive. At this time, presumably some designers will have to find another way - according to the design of these classic models, it will certainly not be wrong, and the technology configuration equipped with it can also follow the trend, according to the current standards, besides, retro motorcycles have proved that this market is very promising with sales.
So the question is, what retro design models can we buy?
Wei Pai - Fulfilling Dreams
The dream models under the WEY brand can be described as one of the representatives of retro design models. The name Dream Is chosen from a series of classic names including "Dream Fulfillment", "Time", "Good Dream", "Dream", "Jazz", "Chopin" and so on, which has a good meaning.
From the design point of view, the appearance of the dream is a bit like the American brand cars of the 40s and 50s, that is, the models we often see in the TV series, the details have also been restored, such as the round LED lights on the front face, the design of the grille with multiple banners, the fog lights and bumper shape are also very retro, and in the rear part, there is a raised trunk design, which is a tribute to the classic old car, after all, the trunk space of many classic old cars is very small, and long-distance travel needs to be extra luggage in the trunk position. Even the front and rear wheel parts have prominent designs, a conventional design of older models that can now be seen in some performance cars or sports cars.
The interior of the dream is also a surprise, the through-screen design of the three screens of the central console is full of technology, and it will be equipped with Wei intelligent system, which is convenient for daily use. However, the interior is still composed of retro elements such as retro circular steering wheel, elegant interior coloring, rear seats embroidered on the back of the seat, etc., which can be described as echoing inside and outside, and the roof also has a panoramic sunroof design.
As for power, Dream Is Expected to Adopt DHT Intelligent Hybrid System. Officially revealed that the dream will be officially listed in the second quarter of 2022, let us wait and see.
Euler-Punk Cat
The Eulabunk cat debuted earlier than the dream, and it has already met us during the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. At first glance, many people may think that Volkswagen's classic Model Beetle has been revived, or that they have traveled back to the 50s and 60s.
As we all know, the Beetle model can be described as one of the classics of the Volkswagen brand, which was not discontinued until 2019 after its birth in 1934, but Volkswagen still registered the trademark "e-Beetle" in 2020, which is expected to reborn the Beetle in the form of an electric car. Therefore, volkswagen officials said in an interview with foreign media: "We are checking whether the Eulabunk cat has violated Volkswagen's utility model and design patents and reserve the right to take any necessary legal steps." ”
From the appearance, the punk cat has a classic round headlight design, chrome bumper, plus a two-color body, the design is simple and retro, the door handle is a hidden design, the rear shape and the front of the car echo each other, are round taillights, chrome bumpers. As for the interior, the punk cat uses a hollowed-out double-spoke steering wheel, which is a common design in old American cars in the 40s, the seat grain is also a classic vertical pattern, the interior also uses a lot of chrome decoration, the air conditioning outlet is also specially designed, but the large multimedia screen and full LCD dashboard are not absent.
From the recent declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it can be seen that the appearance of punk cats is 4749/1989/1725mm, the wheelbase is 2915mm, and the power will be equipped with motors from United Electronics, with a maximum power of 180kW and 220kW, respectively.
BEIJING MOTOR - BJ212
The current BJ212 on sale is a classic, if 40 or 50 years ago I could have had the privilege of riding this car once, I could brag and show off with my friends for a week. After all, with its good off-road performance and simple maintenance, it can be said to meet the needs of all aspects of the domestic car at that time, and even in the short 20 years from 1984 to 2004, BJ212 produced 508583 units.
Some time ago, the renderings of the new BJ212 have been exposed, and what is more surprising is that the new BJ212 plans to launch 3 models with different body structures, including hard-top off-road vehicles, soft-top off-road vehicles and pickup structure models, which are as rich as the Wranglers, but the final landing situation is still unknown. It can also be seen from the planning scheme that the body appearance of the three models is 4325/1830/1910mm, and the wheelbase length is 2460mm, which is larger than the current BJ212 body, but the wheelbase is the same.
From the appearance of the design, the new BJ212 is more fashionable, modern, the bumper part has changed a lot, the design of the air defense lights has also been cancelled, the logo part has also been changed to the word "BAW", the interior part currently has different programs, one is the most decent LCD dashboard + center console multimedia screen, and the other program boldly cancels the center console multimedia screen, the whole vehicle is more concise, and more off-road style, and even the guidance price will be reduced a little.
We also venture to guess here that the new BJ212 is very likely to be equipped with power windows, the number of USB charging ports may also increase, and may even be equipped with Bluetooth connectivity. Yes, with reference to the configuration and price of the current BJ212, some things may not really give too much, but its potential buyers don't care about these.
As for the power, it is the surprise of the new BJ212, the declaration materials can already see the 2.0T engine of Qingdao Lanqiliu machine, the maximum output is 144ps, which is slightly higher than the output of the current 1.5T engine, and according to some media information, the new BJ212 may further launch 2.0T and 2.4T engines. The transmission part, in addition to the 5-speed manual transmission, may even be matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and equipped with a mechanical four-wheel drive system.
Volkswagen-ID. Buzz
Like the Volkswagen Beetle, the Volkswagen T1 model is also very classic. And recently Volkswagen released a new pure electric MPV model ID. Buzz is here to pay tribute to the Volkswagen T1. Certainly compared to the silly appearance of the T1, ID. Buzz is obviously more stylish, but the same simple, attractive design still makes it possible to become a classic.
ID. Buzz's headlights adopt the popular family design language of the current ID model, the matrix headlights on both sides are connected through the LED daytime running lights, and the center has Volkswagen's brand LOGO, the front shape and T1 use a circular arc design, plus a two-color body and suspension roof, which can be described as a good integration of retro design and fashion trends. In the interior, the full LCD instrument and the 12-inch suspension central control screen in the ID family can also be seen.
ID. Buzz plans to launch an MPV version and a Cargo closed-car version, with the MPV version offering a 5-seater version and a 6-seater version in the future. By Sales Plan, ID. Buzz will start pre-sale in the European market in May, launch this autumn, and will also land in the United States and Canada, and because it is a new energy model, it is also very likely to enter the domestic market.
In terms of power, ID. Buzz is rear-wheel drive, with a maximum motor of 150kW and a total battery pack capacity of 82kWh. Also ID. Buzz will also use plug-and-play technology to plug in the charging gun directly, which will automatically charge and settle the associated charges, and charge from 5% to 80% in just 30 minutes.
