Car modification is an important part of automobile culture, compared with foreign automobile powers, China's automobile modification culture is still in its infancy, but the development is relatively rapid, and there have been a lot of official modified models.
On January 28th, the JT Traveler Silver Dragon Wings was officially launched, the price of the new car is 219,900 yuan, and the limited sale is 3,000 units.
1. What are the changes in the new car compared with the original model?
The original model of the Jet Traveler Silver Dragon Wing is a fuel version of the Jet Voyager 4WD Crossing PRO+. JMK is an official modification brand, and the reason why it chose station wagons for modification is because this car has performed well in the market and has the strength to sell more than 10,000 per month, which can attract more consumers. Compared with the original model, the changes of the Jet Traveler Silver Dragon Wings are still not small.
The changes of the new car are first reflected in the appearance, with the addition of a thick front bumper to the front face, as well as a through-type LED light strip, which plays a good role in embellishment. Such a change is not of high practical value, mainly to improve recognition.
In addition to this, the JETOUR logo on the original model has been moved up and placed on the engine bonnet, and the air intakes above the bonnet are also equipped for a more wild look. At the same time, the new car also offers an exclusive Starship Space Silver color change film.
Tires are also a focus on modified car enthusiasts, the new car is equipped with a new 20-inch all-terrain off-road tires, which are highly recognizable, and have better performance in drainage and mud discharge.
Since it is positioned in the off-road vehicle market, the new car naturally has to work the roof, it adds a multi-functional roof platform, and two gangways are installed on both sides, which is practical at the same time, but also enhances the recognition of the whole car. For tuning enthusiasts, recognizability is very important.
At the rear, a rear space box has been added, the taillights have been added with a protective cover, and the rear surround shape is also more powerful. It is worth mentioning that this car has reserved more than 40 expansion and upgrade excuses when it leaves the factory, so that users can continue to modify the car after purchase.
Compared with the exterior, the interior of the new car has not changed much, basically following the design of the fuel version of the Jet Traveler, but there are changes in the details, for example, it may upgrade the Dragon Wings theme car machine in the future, which looks more personal, and there will also be some theme applications related to playing cars.
In addition, the new car will also be equipped with official CarLOT smart ecological peripherals, including MK dual-satellite box, MK child safety seat, MK electric top tent and other exclusive configurations. These configurations are of little significance to ordinary users, but they are very attractive to car players.
In terms of power, the new car has not changed much, still equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 187kW, and also provides a timely four-wheel drive system, which has strong off-road ability and can meet the needs of consumers for "play".
However, compared with the original model, the new car also has some configuration shrinkage, canceling the reversing side warning, parallel assist, rearview mirror flip and other functions, should be to save costs, so remove some of the configuration that is not very practical in the outdoor off-road environment.
- Who are the competitors?
The price of the new car is 219,900 yuan, which is 40,000 yuan more expensive than the original model.
Then its competitors are more clear, mainly the modified versions of the Haval Raptor and Beijing BJ40 cars, these two cars are also official modified versions, and the main changes are also reflected in the appearance, they are the same as the Silver Dragon Wings of the Jet Traveler, aimed at those entry-level modified car players.
Jietu was originally a brand that was biased towards travel, and Haval and BAIC Motor also have rich experience in building off-road vehicles, so the competition between these cars is still more interesting. In contrast, the shortcoming of JMK lies in its lack of experience, but JMK is an exclusive official modification brand, which may reflect stronger professionalism in the future.
According to the official plan of Jietu, the JMK brand will have a lot of moves in the future, and every blockbuster model of the Jietu brand will be launched at the same time. In this way, JMK acts like a Mercedes-AMG, which may attract more users.
3. Is a new car worth buying?
Is a modified car worth it or not? This is a topic of opinion, and many consumers may spend thousands of dollars more because of the nameplate installed on the fender, so it is inconclusive whether the "value" of the short-distance traveler Silver Dragon Wings is not conclusive.
Let's take a look at what the new car has brought after the modification, its main change is the appearance, it looks more stylish, you can show off to your friends, this is also a demand. Driving a car that is different from others is one of the main purposes of modified car players.
In addition to this, the new car also brings a certain practical value, the roof rack and the external trunk at the rear can be loaded with more items, suitable for those who prefer camping life. At the same time, the new car's 20-inch all-terrain off-road tires are also more interesting, which can bring a better outdoor driving experience.
It's hard to say whether these new configurations are worth paying an extra 40,000 yuan. Ordinary users may not pay attention to it, and consumers who do not recognize the Jietu brand will not pay attention to it, but for those beginner players who want to play with the car, but do not know how to play, or can't think of a better modification plan, this car is a good choice.
Conclusion: The Silver Dragon Wings is not aimed at sales, but only needs to increase the attention of short-distance travelers. The Jet Traveler has already burst into the 10,000-month-a-month sales club in December last year, and it needs some new highlights to stay on top. If it were you, would you choose such a modified car?
