How much power can a 2.0T do up to?
The Audi A5 tells you to do 245 horses easily, the AMG A45 says 300 horses is just the beginning, and the BMW 3 Series says that in fact, the 2.0T can also do 156 horses.
In the 3 series of this car, BMW let everyone know that there is another technology called "turbine pressure reduction", the current mainstream 2.0L naturally aspirated engine power has been able to achieve more than 170 horses, to the 2.0L engine equipped with a turbo BMW 3 series, horsepower even returned to the level of 156 horses.
The specific parameters of this engine are 156 hp, torque 250 Nm, book data 100 km/h acceleration of 9 seconds.
Although the German industry has fallen lonely in the past 10 years, I still don't believe that a turbine-mounted 2.0L engine has only 156 horsepower, and the only explanation is that BMW is using this engine to set off the high-end price of the model.
Only if the lowest model is the worst, people will buy high-end models, such an explanation is very reasonable, because the power is not enough, so the owners of the 3 series will spend 50,000 yuan more to buy high-end models.
Capital play is pure fire.
This reminds me of Cadillac, also a luxury brand, Cadillac from low to high all the way 2.0T high-power version, such as the CT5 car, LSY engine all series of a power standard, 237 horsepower and 350 Nm maximum torque.
Whether you buy a low or high match, there is a 7-second acceleration result.
There are fewer and fewer companies like BMW, but in the past two years, BMW has still converged some, after all, a few years ago, the 300,000 BMW 3 series was also equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder turbo engine.
The purpose of this engine is equally simple, that is, to deliberately make the low-end models very poor, so that consumers can be driven to buy high-end models with enough power, just to get more profit margins.
It's just that Chinese consumers don't buy it, and the three-cylinder engine doesn't have the slightest in the domestic market.
Helplessly designed out of the 2.0T low-power version, in fact, BMW's low-power engine itself is still power, the normal low-end engine horsepower of 184 horses, but it is worth mentioning that the 184 horsepower 3 series power is enough, more than 7 seconds of acceleration if placed on the lowest model will have a problem, the more powerful 330 version will produce a large price difference with the 325.
Consumers will simply abandon the 330 version and start more with the 325 version.
So BMW must let the models within 300,000 show "power weak-minded", let everyone know that you bought the lowest BMW 3 series, the power level is absolutely not enough, so that you buy BMW for the purpose of control will not be able to achieve, if you want to feel the sense of control is still OK, you must be on the 184 horsepower of the middle version.
Don't talk to BMW about technology, after all, from the design and development of the power architecture, BMW engineers still have top technical standards.
However, good technology and conscience are two different things, on the contrary, if you take the technology to trick domestic consumers to make enough profits, deliberately design a "turbo decompression" engine for Chinese consumers, and use the technical advantages to harvest users will inevitably be despised.
The real top companies must create a higher market pattern through technology, rather than harvesting the market like BMW.
A while ago, a blogger broke out the problem of BMW's various reductions, the chassis not only omitted a large number of aluminum alloy parts, but also replaced with lower-cost plastic parts, the purpose of the balance technology is to reduce the allocation, save materials, in this company more and more can not see the German quality, but see the mentality of profit.
