Chapter 781: Drives like a BMW
Just when the reporters in the audience were thinking about it, the lights on the stage dimmed again, and the reporters in the audience quieted down again, and everyone held their breath and stared, waiting to see what new things Huayang Power would launch after the lights were turned on this time.
The lights turned on, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on the front of the stage, but when they saw that there was still a Qoros 8 parked on the stage, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
What does Huayang Power do? Or when I just changed the car, did I go wrong, why is it still a Qoros 8? Could it be that this is a new model?
The reporters in the audience had a lot of questions in their hearts, but Jin Xiaoqiang on the stage was not in a hurry.
"Okay, now I'll introduce you to our main model of this Puhai Auto Show......
"Mr. Kim, are you mistaken? Isn't this Qoros 8? How can it be the main model? ”
A reporter in the audience preemptively asked, indeed this car is no different from the Qoros 8 that everyone saw before, what is going on, and the reporters in the audience can no longer hold back the questions in their hearts at this time.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry, in fact, this Qoros 8 is indeed our flagship model at the Puhai Auto Show, because this time we will implement a more generational change in our Qoros car series, and equip the whole series with the second-generation turbocharger as standard, which means that we will launch the second-generation ECOBOOST engine......"
As soon as Jin Xiaoqiang's words came out, many reporters in the audience immediately understood what they wanted to do, and they originally planned to use the second-generation turbocharger on this Qoros car series. This is great news for car enthusiasts, but it will be a disaster for other automakers.
Originally in the field of turbocharging. The gap between everyone and Huayang Power is not small, and now they actually have to play the second-generation turbocharger. What can you do with the company that we haven't figured out the first generation of turbochargers yet?
The one who feels the most pressure is undoubtedly the public.
Before the birth of Huayang Power, the reason why Volkswagen was able to gain a firm foothold in mid-to-high-end models was their turbocharged engine.
At that time, Volkswagen was also the first company to rely on their Passade to establish the concept of a mid-level car, and at that time, in order to wrestle with the two big brothers in the mid-class car market, Toyota and Honda, they picked up the turbocharger that other companies had thrown down for a long time, assembled it into their own cars, and played with 1.8T. 2.4T technology.
It's a pity that Volkswagen's global reputation was not good in those years, and the 1.8T and 2.4T engines pulled cylinders and later maintenance were very problematic, so Volkswagen's turbocharged engines did not have many audiences in the world.
In the United States, Toyota's Camry and Honda's Accord were beaten to the ground, and even almost launched the American market at one point. In Europe, people would rather buy golf than their Passat.
But in the Celestial Empire, Volkswagen's Passat and their turbocharged engines were unexpectedly popular, when the first golden age of turbocharged engines had passed, and the people of developed countries such as Europe, America, and Japan had discovered the shortcomings of the first generation of turbocharged engines. Therefore, turbocharged engines are naturally not sold in Europe, America, Japan and other regions.
But in the Celestial Empire, this is different, after all, this turbocharging technology is still a new thing for the Chinese, coupled with the large purchase of government official cars, so that the public will rely on this international outdated technology, in the domestic mix is like a fish in water.
After that, Volkswagen was even more determined to take the turbocharging technology route, and over the years not only spent a lot of money on turbocharging, but also included mechanical superchargers. …,
It wasn't until 2000 that their dual-supercharging system theory finally matured, and it was only in 2002 that they first introduced their first-generation TSI engine to the market.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, because the turbocharger problem was still the same, coupled with the dual-clutch transmission, and the cost problem, the TSI, which was later hyped by Volkswagen, did not become popular internationally.
Then there was the rapid rise of Huayang Power, and it gave them a heavy blow in the turbocharged engine market.
In recent years, Volkswagen has been very low-key, and in the technology of many engines, it has been keeping up with the pace of Huayang Power, and relying on the technology of some large trucks, it has exchanged special engine oil for cooling the turbocharger from Huayang Power.
In this way, combined with their own technology, they finally came up with a set of TFSI engine system, and it has been equipped on some of their middle and high-end models, Magotan, Audi are the beneficiaries of this series of engines.
Huayang Power has pulled up the banner of turbocharged engines, and Mercedes-Benz, BMW, as well as Japanese and American companies, in this field, started relatively late, so that in the field of turbocharged engines, one of the few companies that can compete with Huayang Power, there is only one Volkswagen left.
Originally, Volkswagen could still rely on its own time-honored brand, as well as the support of some local governments in the Celestial Empire, as well as some popularity accumulated in the consumer psychology of the Celestial Empire in the early years, to compete with Huayang Power in the mid-to-high-end car market of the Celestial Empire.
But now, with Huayang Power starting to popularize their second-generation turbochargers, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.
Now in the middle and high-end model market of the Celestial Empire, the market share growth of Huayang Power is particularly rapid, and the Qoros car series is popular all over the country, even in Puhai, where local protectionism is more serious, the Qoros car series can also be bought to the point of being out of stock, which shows the popularity of the Qoros car series.
And in this market is the most seriously affected is Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda in the southern market, although under the impact of Huayang power, their market is also shrinking, but after all, compared with other brands of cars, Japanese cars have the advantages of exquisite and reliable workmanship, so they can also win the hearts of some consumers.
In this way, in the mid-class car market, Volkswagen's Audi has become the brand most severely affected by the Qoros car series.
In the mid-range and high-end model market that started at 230,000 yuan, Audi A4 used to be outstanding, and now it has been hit by Huayang Power's Qoros 6, and the real mid-to-high-end market faced by Audi A6 has also been mixed up by Qoros 8.
Originally, Volkswagen thought that after the TFSI technology was launched, it might be able to compete with Huayang Power, but who thought that when people waved their hands, they would not be able to resist it?
The benefits of this second-generation turbocharger, the so-called twin-scroll single-turbocharger, are not blown out, but actually placed there.
After the birth of this second-generation turbocharger last year, it was installed by Huayang Power on their civilian supercar Blue Aurora, and it also achieved very good results on the New North Circuit.
After the Blue Aurora was launched, this car was quickly praised by international and domestic consumers in the market, and a real civilian sports car that was not expensive could finally make the sling wire affordable to play a supercar.
The 2.4L turbocharged engine can bring you the power enjoyment, which is absolutely unmatched among all models at this price.
Gently step on the accelerator, you can feel the engine ready to move, and when you really step on it, you will find that the sound of air waves is coming, and then it is indeed a smooth power output .........,
It's a weird feeling, but anyone who is familiar with a car will know the difference between a naturally aspirated engine and a turbocharged engine.
The power output of the naturally aspirated engine is very linear, which can be described as smooth, while turbocharging is different, the engine appears to be weak at low speed, and after the speed reaches a critical point, the turbocharger will intervene to work, and then the engine will be like a startled bull, suddenly increase the thrust, that is, the legendary push back feeling will arise spontaneously, it looks very manic and violent.
That's the very different feeling of driving the two cars, some people like the constant linear output, while others like the tsunami-like push back feeling.
But for most adults, it is still a steady stream of linear output, and the on-call power seems more reliable.
And now such a feeling appears in a turbocharged engine, which cannot but surprise many car owners.
After the success of the Blue Aurora on the market, many consumers commented that the car was more like a BMW, and it was this evaluation that made this car sell out of stock in the market for a while, both at home and abroad.
And when Jin Xiaoqiang saw such an evaluation, he laughed secretly, can it not be like BMW? This turbocharger was originally developed by BMW.
And why BMW will develop a turbo with such characteristics, which is exactly the same as the concept of their engine, not the most furious power, but the most stable, continuous linear power output, as long as the accelerator is pressed, then the power will definitely be on call, which is the essence of BMW's engine design.
Now Huayang Power has assembled this kind of engine that drives like a BMW to their mid-to-high-end models, do you say that this Volkswagen is not in a hurry?
After a few years of catching up, I finally arrived to shorten the distance with Huayang Power, but I didn't expect that people just glanced back at it, and then took a step out, and the gap between the two actually became a moat again, and there was no way......
JIN XIAOQIANG WAS STILL ON STAGE INTRODUCING THE BENEFITS THAT THEIR SECOND-GENERATION TURBOCHARGER WOULD BRING TO THE SECOND-GENERATION ECOBOOST ENGINE, BUT THE COMMERCIAL SPIES OF VOLKSWAGEN AND BMW IN THE AUDIENCE WERE IN NO MOOD TO LISTEN......
