Bitche Original The Lantern Festival is over, and the Lunar New Year in the traditional sense has come to an end. Chinese people will return to their normal jobs and strive for a better life, and buying a new house or a new car may be the best reward for themselves.
This year is considered a big year for the entire domestic SUV market, because both BMW Brilliance X1 and Beijing Benz GLC will undergo model replacements during this year, and new models such as Mazda CX-50 and Zhiji LS7 will also be launched. Going on sale this year, perhaps these cars will also become the focus of many people's attention.
Mazda CX-50
In terms of appearance, the Mazda CX-50 does not look like a great model. It still continues the fixed impression that people have on Mazda SUVs. Even though we all agree that the Mazda CX-50 is a replacement model of the CX-5, I think it is still difficult to distinguish the difference between the two in the eyes of ordinary consumers. But no matter what, the CX-50 is indeed a brand new model.
The shape of the front of the car is undoubtedly more aggressive in terms of momentum. On the one hand, it is because the use of bright black trim strips sets the tone for the sporty style. On the other hand, because in addition to opening the corners of the eyes, the headlights are also designed with two sets. The high and low beam light groups and the scoop-shaped LED daytime running lights themselves have a certain aura.
The waistline of the CX-50 is lower than that of traditional SUVs. Therefore, the height of the entire vehicle will be reduced accordingly, which creates a crossover style. At the same time, another result is that the CX-50 seems to have a wider body.
The taillights echo the headlights, and their internal shape is quite beautiful. The bulge at the rear fender continues to the tail, making the visual width directly behind it reach an unprecedented level, which is indeed much stronger than the rounded CX-5.
The interior does not have any fancy design. The overall look is compact and capable. The style is a bit like the CX-30 and Mazda3 Angkesela, but it looks more advanced and has better texture. After all, its The positioning itself is also higher.
Its hairtail-style central control screen is still located directly above the instrument panel. It is a blind guess that Mazda will not provide touch functions for it, and Apple CarPlay will naturally not be absent. The instrument is still a traditional three-barrel design, as if Mazda firmly believes that mechanical pointers will never go out of style.
CX-50 will be the first to be equipped with two engines, 2.0L and 2.5L. Among them, the 2.5L engine has intelligent variable cylinder technology, and the maximum power of the engine is 138kW. In addition, it is not ruled out that the CX-50 will have oil in the future. electric hybridMoving models. The suspension structure of the vehicle is MacPherson strut at the front and multi-link at the rear, which is relatively conventional.
Zhiji LS7
Zhiji LS7 was officially released in January, with a pre-sale price of 350,000-500,000 yuan, and the new car is expected to be officially launched in mid-February. LS7 is the second model of Zhiji and the brand's first SUV model. Therefore, its degree of attention is naturally self-evident.
Unlike some new power brands, the styling of the Zhiji LS7 is not particularly similar to the sedan version of the same model, the L7. The difference between the two models in the headlights is relatively large. Compared with the L7, the headlights of the Zhiji LS7 are relatively softer in shape. The headlights adopt a split design. The upper part is a projector headlight, and the lower part is an LED that can achieve the effect of light language.
LS7 is positioned as a medium and large SUV. The length, width and height of the vehicle are 5049x2002x1731/1763/1773mm, and the wheelbase is 3060mm. The proportions of the body are relatively coordinated. The hidden door handles create a simple style for the side, and the doors are also It is a frameless design.
The shape of the rear of the vehicle is more three-dimensional. The taillights integrated with the shape have a floating effect, and the through-type light strips have a good texture when lit. There is a hollow spoiler design on the top of the rear of the car, with a camera and high-mounted brake lights embedded in the middle.
Like the L7, the interior of the Zhiji LS7 also adopts a minimalist design style, and some details have been upgraded. The vehicle's steering wheel adopts a YAT cruise half-spoke design, which makes people feel like they are controlling an aircraft. The horizontally penetrating LCD screen in the front can be raised and lowered, and the central control screen is designed to be integrated with both sides of the central tunnel, which looks better overall.
The size of the main driving screen on the instrument panel reaches 26.3 inches, the passenger screen is 12.3 inches, and the central control screen is 12.8 inches. Each has a different division of labor. The main driving screen displays vehicle information in real time, the passenger driving screen is mainly for entertainment, and the central control screen can perform voice control, navigation, air conditioning, seats, vehicle settings and other operations.
Zhiji LS7 also has a large-area front windshield, which also allows the opening of the front row of vision to reach 106°. The glass has also been specially heat-insulated, using three-layer silver plating technology and is equipped with Gradient sound insulation and heat insulation film greatly improves the heat insulation performance.
The two modes of the right rear seat are also a highlight of the Zhiji LS7. This seat can realize two modes of lying flat and zero gravity when the front passenger seat is folded. This also allows the passengers or drivers in the car to get a better rest when they are tired from the journey.
IntelligenceThe LS7 has a dual-motor configuration at the front and rear, with a total motor power of 425kW and a total torque of 725N·m. The vehicle adopts a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link suspension structure and is equipped with air springs, but is not equipped with rear-wheel steering. Function, a little regretful.
BMW X1
The BMW X1 currently on sale in China is its second-generation model, and this model will also be discontinued in March. The third-generation BMW X1 was officially released overseas in June last year. It will also be produced at BMW Brilliance’s Shenyang plant in March to complete the handover from the previous generation model.
The changes in appearance of this generation of X1 are quite positive. It retains BMW’s more traditional family design, but looks more fashionable in details. Compared with the previous two generations of X1, the appearance of the latest BMW X1 will become its biggest selling point. In addition, this generation of BMW X1 has launched two different exterior designs, among which the sports-shaped front face is almost as imposing as the "M-Power" model.
The size of the new car has increased compared with the previous generation model. The length, width and height of the domestic model are 4616x1845x1641mm, and the wheelbase has reached an astonishing 2802mm. The side lines of the car body are mainly simple. The gradually rising waistline and downward tightening of the roof make the third-generation X1 look dynamic, which is similar to the current X1.
In my opinion, the rear of the car is the most outstanding part of the new generation X1. It has a strong sense of three-dimensionality and strength. The taillights on both sides seem to be casual and circuitous, but they outline a great Suspended effect. In addition, the color separation of the bumper of the sports version and the shape of the diffuser are also the finishing touches.
The interior changes of the new generation X1 are almost subversive. It adopts a relatively common floating dual screen, which has more sense of technology but less innovation. The central armrest has a suspended design, like a starship. This design is eye-catching and has a bit of a futuristic feel.
After entering the country, the new generation X1 will still be equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. The 1.5T engine has a 3-cylinder structure and the maximum power is increased compared with the existing model, at 128kW. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 167kW, and the parameters have also been improved. The front-wheel drive model of the new generation X1 is still equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the four-wheel drive model is equipped with an 8AT gearbox. In addition, BMW Brilliance is expected to produce a new generation of X1 plug-in hybrid models in the future.
Mercedes-Benz GLC
Like the previous generation model, after the release of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Mercedes-Benz GLC has also followed the pace and realized its own generation replacement. After all, these two models use the same development platform, which gives people a sense of uniqueness in the whole vehicle.There are many similarities in the posture, especially the interior design.
The overall tone of the new generation Mercedes-Benz GLC has not changed much, making it feel more like a mid-term facelift model. The design style of its front face is also more in line with what we think of the GLC, and it still has that familiar feeling. The shape of the headlights has changed slightly, and the eye-opening design connects them to the grille.
The domestic version of the new generation Mercedes-Benz GLC is longer than the overseas version to a certain extent, and its overall size is also slightly larger than the previous generation model. Its length, width and height are 4826x1890x1714mm, and its wheelbase is 2977mm. Its length and wheelbase have obvious advantages compared with the current BMW X3 and Audi Q5L.
The shape of the rear of the new generation Mercedes-Benz GLC appears relatively simple and rounded. The triangular outline taillights are the current Mercedes-Benz family taillight design. There is a diffuser decoration at the bottom of the rear of the car, and exhaust outlets are also designed on both sides. It looks relatively high-end, but the real exhaust outlets are made hidden.
The interior of the new car can be said to be exactly the same as this generation of Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and the previous generation model also operates in this way. Therefore, if you are satisfied with the interior of this generation of Mercedes-Benz C-Class, you will also be satisfied with the new generation of Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It’s hard to put down the GLC’s interior. The interior of the new car continues Mercedes-Benz's unique luxury style, with the cool metallic texture and the luxurious feel created by genuine leather complementing each other.
The vehicle's in-car system is Mercedes-Benz's MBUX system. The size of the central control screen is expected to be the same as that of this generation's C-Class, at 11.9 inches. The in-car system covers some of the more mainstream functions at present, including navigation, voice control, and OTA. Upgrades, car networking and other functions, and also supports Apple CarPlay.
In terms of power, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC will continue to be equipped with a 2.0T engine. Among them, the GLC 260 model has a maximum engine power of 150kW, while the GLC 300 model has a maximum engine power of 190kW. All vehicles are equipped with a 9AT gearbox. It is also equipped with a 48V light hybrid system.
Editor’s comment: In the field of fuel vehicles in 2022, the sales of SUVs have far exceeded that of cars. The main sales in this market are mainly models with 100,000-200,000 yuan. Therefore, Mazda CX-50 will be launched by then You will face a very fierce competition. For the new generation of BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, the product strength of the updated models has been greatly improved, which also ensures that they can have a relatively comfortable environment in the competition. For example, Zhiji LS7 is facing a sub-new market where the situation is gradually becoming clearer. Brands such as Weilai and Ideal have already established a firm foothold. Therefore, Zhiji must quickly compete for the few remaining market shares.
