As the first large-scale international auto show in China in 2022, the Beijing Auto Show has been postponed repeatedly, which is somewhat regrettable for many consumers who are about to buy a car, but the postponement of the Beijing Auto Show has not extinguished the enthusiasm of car companies to launch new cars. This is not, it is said that car companies are expected to use the online way to launch new cars in May, today we will take stock together, several new cars that will be listed in May, see if it is worth starting?
The new Bora
As we all know, Bora is a very popular model for Volkswagen, but since last year, Bora's sales have begun to decline. Presumably FAW-Volkswagen is also aware of this, so in addition to launching a new Sagitar in May, it will also launch a mid-term redesign of Volkswagen Bora, it is reported that the mid-term redesign of Volkswagen Bora has been officially rolled off the production line at FAW-Volkswagen East China Base.
From the perspective of design, the new Bora is roughly the same as before, but in the details or made corresponding adjustments, the sense of hierarchy is more distinct, and it has also been optimized in the lower bumper area, adding the chrome plating of the "C" style, and the overall appearance looks like a certain impact.
In terms of body size, the new Bora body length, width and height are 4672/1815/1478mm, and the wheelbase is 2688mm, which still has certain advantages compared with its previous body size.
In terms of power, it is a key point of the new Polaroid adjustment. It is reported that the new Bora or will cancel the current model of 1.5L self-priming engine, only provide 1.2T and 1.4T two kinds of powertrain, of which the maximum power of 1.4T is 110KW, the transmission match is a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
So, cancel the 1.5L self-priming engine, it will definitely cancel the 6-speed manual transmission, if it is 1.4T + dry dual-clutch transmission, you say, the new Bora This is not "self-deprecating martial arts" What is it?
New Don EV
This year's BYD has always maintained a high degree of heat, and it will also launch a new BYD Tang EV in May. First of all, in terms of appearance, the front face of the new car has been completely redesigned, using a closed front grille, and its grille shape is somewhat similar to the front face of the BYD Han EV model, which improves the recognition of the whole vehicle. In addition, the front bumper and rear bumper of the new car have adopted a new styling design, which enhances the sense of movement of the whole vehicle, and its front bumper position has also added a penetrating LED light strip, which is quite good.
In terms of interior, the overall interior layout of the new car still continues the interior design of the on-site model, and is still equipped with a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating screen, highlighting the sense of technology in the car. In addition, the new car also added a 6-seat version of the model to choose from, its second row is equipped with two independent seats, and supports electric adjustment function, which is quite good.
In terms of power, the new car still offers single-motor and dual-motor four-wheel drive versions to choose from, of which the single-motor version of the pure electric mileage of 730km. The dual-electric four-wheel drive version of the model has a pure electric mileage of 635km.
Overall, the product strength of the new Tang EV is still very impressive, but the price is really not low (or sells about 300,000-350,000), so everyone is still cautious according to their actual needs.
Ford Explorer
As a model launched in May, the new Ford Explorer is one of the most blockbuster models.
According to official sources, the new Explorer will be officially launched on May 20, 2022. From the perspective of exterior design, the new car is basically consistent with the current model, but corresponding adjustments have been made in the details, such as the use of a new chain chrome detail design inside the front grille of the new explorer, the through-type light strip connecting the left and right headlight groups, the new car appearance details are more chrome details, and the overall appearance looks very recognizable.
In terms of body size, the new Explorer's body length, width and height are 5063*2004*1778mm, and the wheelbase is 3025mm. Compared with the current Explorer, the body length of the new Explorer has shrunk by 12mm, although the body length has shrunk, but even compared with the size of the BMW X5, the new Explorer is not vain.
In terms of power, the new Explorer may continue the current powertrain, that is, the entire series is equipped with a 2.3T four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 203 kilowatts, a maximum torque of 425N.m, and a 10-speed automatic transmission matched with the transmission, and the rear-drive and four-wheel drive models are available.
One thing to say is that the launch of the new Explorer has played a key role in whether Ford's sales this year are optimistic. At present, the product strength of the new explorer is not bad, but in the medium and large SUV market of about 350,000, is the new explorer still an alternative after toyota highlander and Volkswagen Tuon? We don't know, we can only wait for it to be listed, give us an answer.
