Choose a hatchback or a sedan？ Inventory of hot-selling models of joint venture brands in recent years
In the last article, we took stock of the independent models with hatchback and sedan at the same time. This time, let’s talk about which "two cars share one" models in these joint venture brands in China. Therefore, we can also think that, as an independent brand with a history of more than ten years at most, what methods must be learned from their teachers-joint venture brands that entered the China market earlier. From this point of view, it is the joint venture brands that make Chinese people "accustomed" to the tradition of favoring sedan cars, and it is the Santana (Configuration Gallery Word of Mouth Forum) and Jetta (Configuration Gallery Word of Mouth Forum) that Chinese people first contacted. Later, with the maturity of the domestic market, the diversification of people’s demand for car purchase, and the enlightenment and stimulation of these excellent hatchback models, such as the hatchback Fit (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum), the domestic hatchback market developed, and until now it has a great potential to share with the sedan.
Universal system
In domestic joint ventures, it seems that Shanghai GM has not deliberately developed the so-called sedan version for China, but it has done a very good job in this respect. From Sail (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum), which is close to the people ten years ago, to Excelle (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum), to Yinglang (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum) now, it can be said that it has both compartments. The civilian Chevrolet brand is even more obvious. The new Sail (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum), Le Cheng (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum)/Lefeng (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum) hatchbacks all coexist at the same time, and the product line occupies almost all the low-end markets of the joint venture.
Shanghai GM Chevrolet Sail
At that time, the Buick Sail with a whirlwind of 100,000 yuan family sedan has gradually become a historical memory. Chevrolet’s new Sail reappeared at a low price of 50,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan and returned to the market of entry-level family sedan to fight with many independent models. As the lowest-priced joint venture brand model in its class, the new Sail undoubtedly has considerable competitiveness, which is of course the biggest capital to survive in the extremely competitive market of 50,000 yuan.
Recently, the hatchback version of Sail has appeared frequently, and we also got some clear spy photos and news of Sail exclusively.
From some pictures, we can see the design style of the new Sail hatchback promoted by SAIC-GM, and the popular "boxy" shape at present. The so-called boxy modeling has gradually become a popular design style in fashion and architecture circles, and we can see the famous building "water cube"; The most popular "boxy bag" at present; Combination furniture, etc. that can be seen everywhere. In the automotive industry, models such as Nissan Cube, Audi A3 (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum) and Fiat Fiorino Qubo are all examples of Boxy. The biggest characteristics of the hatchback Sail are square, flat and easy. The characteristic of "square" is that it benefits from its "boxy" shape, and it also brings more interior volume in the application of the car. The square opening of the trunk can make all kinds of objects fit into the car without being limited by shape. This is beyond the reach of the traditional streamlined hatchback. In addition, the unique 180-degree super-large interior space of the hatchback Sail can not only accommodate more and bigger items, but also load them more smoothly. The upturned hip line further raises the head space of the rear seat from 957mm to 965mm in the sedan. And equipped with emt gearbox technology, the hatchback Sail has the choice of automatic transmission.
The hatchback Sail will be equipped with Ma Ruili emt gearbox. Five-speed manual-automatic integrated EMT gearbox is a set of electro-hydraulic control system installed on manual gearbox to realize automatic control of clutch and gear selection. Its advantage lies in the "robot brain" electro-hydraulic control system: it realizes the automatic control of the clutch pedal of the "robot foot" and the gear shift selection of the "robot hand". The unique crawling function of the new Sail EMT: Experience the convenience that the vehicle will automatically creep forward slowly or reverse backward. This patented technology is also the biggest difference from what we usually say about AMT technology. Fuel saving, only 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers! (1.2 EMT 5.9L/100 km, 1.4 EMT 6.1L/100 km) is precisely controlled by a microcomputer, and the gear shift is controlled at the best time, which saves fuel and worry. The gearbox is lighter: the gearbox with large function has "small mass", and the light weight is efficient and energy-saving for the car. The purchase cost and maintenance cost are lower than those of self-discharging. Someone married a new synonym for Sail, which is probably the literal translation of "EMT".
For those individuals or families who prefer the convenience of daily driving and parking and the flexibility of space, they may wish to wait until the appearance of the Sail hatchback at the upcoming Beijing Auto Show.
Shanghai GM Chevrolet new generation spark
A new generation of Spark, a new car to be mass-produced by Chevrolet, will also be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show. It is a personalized high-end mini-car for creative frontier young people. Its cutting-edge fashion tough modeling, creative detail design, spacious interior space and trendy entertainment equipment make people unforgettable. The new generation Spark is equipped with a 1.0L engine, and the high environmental protection standards of low fuel consumption and low emissions are its highlights.
Shanghai GM Buick Hideo
The arrival of hatchback Yinglang XT has made many people feel bright at the moment. Stylish and dynamic modeling, sporty interior, strong power, stable chassis and excellent handling performance all make Yinglang a leader in compact hatchback cars, but the relatively high price factor has always been the chief culprit for its low cost performance. Undoubtedly, Yinglang was born in order to stand head-to-head with Goyle (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum) 6. In some respects, Yinglang is even more eye-catching than the latter’s performance, so it prefers performance and driving experience, and it is absolutely the best choice for consumers who hate golf (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum) 6′ s endless waiting for cars and fare increase.
The Yinglang sedan, which was also born on the general Delta II platform with Yinglang, will soon meet the Chinese at the upcoming Beijing Auto Show. Although it is a replacement model of Excelle, the "New Excelle" named Yinglang GT will still focus on the mid-to high-end market like Yinglang after it is really listed, and its price will be equivalent to that of the current Yinglang. From the modeling point of view, Yinglang GT is more inclined to Buick’s popular sports mid-level car Regal (configuration gallery word-of-mouth forum).
