Under normal circumstances, March and April after the Spring Festival is the "charging period", and major car companies begin to release annual plans; May to August is the "new period", and new models are concentrated in this period; As for September and 10, I believe everyone is familiar with it, which can be summarized as "sales growth period" and the market demand is relatively strong; 1 1 month and1February are the "final sprint period", and whether the year-end sales can be completed depends on these two months.
However, combined with the situation in the first half of this year, many car companies still have a certain gap from the year-end target, so even after the "Golden September and Silver 10", they dare not relax. In the coming month of 165438+ 10, there are also several heavy models. Take the eighth generation Volkswagen Golf? For Changan Auchan X5, Hyundai ix35 and BMW ix3, they brought a lot of surprises, as netizens said: It didn't come in vain.
Eighth generation Volkswagen Golf
Undoubtedly, Volkswagen Golf plays an important role in the global automobile market and within the Volkswagen brand. Even in the China market where hatchbacks are less accepted, golf can still become a dazzling business card for the public. 165438+1October 7, the eighth generation golf will be listed in China, which may become the "high 8" of the previous generation fuel golf and be given more emotional selling points.
Intuitively, the eighth generation golf has adopted a brand-new appearance and interior design, which has been endowed with a stronger sense of sports and technology. Although it has not reached the visual impact brought by domestic cars, it has become a leader in the joint venture camp. In terms of power, the Eighth Generation Golf will continue to use the current 1.2T and 1.4T engines, matching the 7DCT gearbox, and it is expected to provide a 1.5T+48V light hybrid power system for you to choose from in the future.
At the recent Beijing Auto Show, the Eighth Generation Golf announced the pre-sale price of 6.5438+0.5 million yuan-6.5438+0.65 million yuan. Referring to the previous pricing strategy, the price of the top model is expected to rise to about 6.5438+0.8 million yuan, while the price of the 1.5T hybrid model is expected to exceed 200,000 yuan. Faced with this price, some netizens commented: Isn't it fragrant to buy Accord, Camry and Camry for 200,000 yuan? Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the eighth generation golf can continue its previous advantages.
Chang 'an Auchan X5
At the end of last year 1 1, Changan Auchan X7 was officially listed in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The far-reaching listing location and the brainwashing slogan of "Buy X7 from 77,700" have made it gain a lot of sales. In the middle of June this year 165438+ 10, Auchan X5 will also be officially listed, with a pre-sale price of 69,900 yuan. The product quality is good and it has the potential to become an explosion.
Although both are compact SUVs, Auchan X5 is one level lower than Auchan X7 in price and size. The appearance size of 4490/ 1860/ 1580mm and the wheelbase of 27 10mm are more suitable for the consumption needs of young people. In terms of appearance, Auchan X5 adopts hexagonal air intake grille, long and narrow headlights and segmented waistline, which is enough to bring a bright feeling at the moment.
In terms of power, Auchan X5 will provide 1.6L self-priming and 1.5T turbocharged engines, and provide 5MT, CVT and 7DCT gearbox types, so as to enrich the car purchase options of car owners as much as possible. Combined with the previous experience of automotive intelligent new media participating in Auchan X5 venue test drive, the acceleration performance and handling performance of the whole vehicle are satisfactory.
Beijing Hyundai ix35
Compared with the impression of "German safety" and "Japanese fuel economy", the most prominent label of Korean cars in the hearts of Chinese people should be "fashion", especially the latest modern Sensuous? The 10th Sonata, which was launched with the concept of sports design, has won many young fans. Similarly, the brand-new ix35 that Beijing Hyundai will launch in mid-June165438+1October has also undergone some major changes in appearance, bringing a lot of freshness.
In terms of appearance, the new ix35 adopts a borderless grille shape, and a large area of chrome decoration is adjacent to the headlights, creating a strong sense of exquisiteness. Similar designs are rare in the SUV camp. In the tail shape, the new ix35 cancels the traditional "H logo" and replaces it with English letters. The penetrating blackened decoration and the shape of the rear bumper echoing the front face can also greatly enhance the recognition. Of course, everyone's aesthetic is different, and whether such a design looks good or not can only be a matter of opinion.
Of course, after all, it is only a mid-term modified model. The power system of the new ix35 will continue the configuration of the current model. 1.4T and 2.0L engine types can give consideration to economy, power and stability, and the market feedback is remarkable. As for the interior layout, vehicle configuration and other aspects of information, to be further understood after listing.
Bmw iX3
As early as 20 1 1, BMW released a brand-new sub-brand-BMW I, followed by BMW i3 and i8, which took the first step to explore the new energy market. However, in terms of sales performance, BMW i8 with "one million three-cylinder engine" and BMW i3 with "long life" have not received strong response from the market. After Audi and Mercedes-Benz launched mature pure electric vehicles, BMW finally launched a heavy pure electric SUV, namely BMW iX3.
In fact, you can know the relationship between BMW iX3 and BMW X3 just by looking at the car name. The appearance of BMW iX3 is basically the same as that of BMW X3, except for the air intake grille, side skirt and blue decoration at the lower part of the tail. Of course, the styling design of BMW X3 has been verified for many years, so using BMW iX3 directly is "less risky"; On the other hand, the design of "fried cold rice" will also lose its freshness, especially in the new energy market, which may be difficult to stand out.
In terms of power, BMW iX3 adopts single motor rear drive mode, with zero-speed acceleration of 6.8s, the longest cruising range of 500km, and the pre-sale price of 470,000-565,438+0,000 yuan. It will be produced in Shenyang factory in the future and sold to global markets except the United States. It can be seen that compared with Audi e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC, BMW iX3 has advantages in cruising range, but in the face of the sudden emergence of new car-making forces, BMW iX3 is still facing a lot of pressure.
Conclusion: Many of the above four models have gone through the "gestation period" of nearly half a year. Fortunately, it will finally be listed next month, which is enough for everyone to feast their eyes on. So it is not a pity to miss the "Golden September and Silver 10". If you are interested, these four models are worth waiting for.
