Chapter 218: Half-Blooded 'Onclair'? 【Second Shift Monthly Pass】

Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!

Think about the large-scale successful SUVs in the Celestial Empire and even the world in later generations, you just have to have a more prominent appearance in order to show your surname.

There is no shortage of such representatives of the rounded front series in the Celestial Empire, but Jin Xiaoqiang does not want this Enclave to take such a route again, he intends to find another way.

And this Enclave actually had its embarrassment when it was born.

At the beginning of the design of this car, Buick's designers coincided with the launch of the Audi Q7 and achieved great success, and it was under the influence of Audi's rounded design that the designers of Enclave thought of starting with Buick's consistently tough shape, and used this car as a pioneer in Buick's shape change.

Although Buick has done a lot of work on this car, equipped with Ward's world's top ten engines, and made a big fuss about the load-bearing structure of the body, but since the birth of this car, he has been a short-legged product, and his shortcomings are precisely from his appearance that is considered very successful by Buick designers.

While trying to imitate the rounded shape of models such as Audi Q7 and Toyota, it is also necessary to retain the family atmosphere of Buick as much as possible, which also happens to be the biggest failure of this car in the Celestial Empire market.

Later, although this car was a gimmick by GM after it was launched, calling it Buick's best masterpiece in ten years, it is your market sales that really test the success of a car.

As a result, the performance of this car after its launch in the US market was quite good, and it was once sold out of stock, but it soon tended to be mediocre.

Later, it was Cadillac's SRX that was a huge success in the American market and has been enduring for a long time, because the car is the original embodiment of Cadillac's surname.

Similarly, after the launch of this car in the Celestial Empire, it has always been a poor performance, the high-end can not compete with the Audi Q7 series, and the Highlander in the mid-range can not grab Toyota, so it can only live without embarrassment.

And this time the car fell into the hands of Jin Xiaoqiang, of course he did not allow such a situation to occur.

As the main high-end SUV in the Qoros car series, how can he let this car fall on his appearance.

In fact, before Jin Xiaoqiang was reborn in later generations, there were many new versions of SUVs that could be used for reference, and there were also many of those cars, which were similar to Buick's concepts.

For example, this time Jin Xiaoqiang wants to change the appearance of this Enclave......

When Jin Xiaoqiang changed the shape of this car, he first made an enlarged front smile mouth air intake on his front face, changed the original Encre's extremely embarrassing air intake pattern, and enlarged the air intake grille, but the recent grille pattern is still the three-dimensional waterfall he used on Qoros.

Then the pattern of the ordinary running lights and fog lamps was changed to a sharper fangs pattern.

At the same time, the original bubble eye lamp, which looked extremely sluggish, was changed to be more flat and sharper.

Then the waistline and eyeliner were made more sharp, and at the same time, the original onclair's nondescript round ass was removed, replaced with a more linear, sharp three-dimensional pattern, and on the rear window, a playful little windstop was installed like an upturned windstop.

In this way, a new appearance of Enclay was born, if there are people who have crossed over with Jin Xiaoqiang and know cars, they may immediately cover their mouths and scold Jin Xiaoqiang for being shameless when they see this car.

Isn't this simply an enlarged version of the Mazda CX-5?

Hehe, it's a pity that the concept cars of the Enclave will not come out until the end of 06, and the Mazda CX-5? It is estimated that this year, Mazda's designers have not yet begun to think about designing an SUV!

What's more, the front face of Mazda's CX-5 was suspected of being similar to the front face of Buick, even in the era of Jin Xiaoqiang's last life, neither of these two dared to say who copied whom, let alone now?

When I saw the appearance design of this new Enclave taken out by Jin Xiaoqiang, Wuyun Gaowa was really shocked and completely speechless.

In the face of such a ghost, Wuyun Gaowa really doesn't know what to say, some designers may not be able to design a model in a lifetime, this guy is like picking up cabbage on the side of the road, and he will come up with one in two or three months.

What the hell is his head, is this guy from an alien?

As a forward-looking designer, Wuyun Gaowa, of course, knows the weight of this SUV model, and now in the high-end market, the popular trend has become more and more obvious.

That is, the richer the person, the more he likes the large car, like the ordinary Mercedes-Benz, BMW's sedan can no longer meet the consumption concept of the rich.

In fact, all car dealers have vaguely noticed that the real high-end market in the future is actually the high-end SUV market.

Don't you see that BMW has already launched the BMW X5, and this car has been very popular since it was launched in the market, and is now working on the design of a more high-end BMW X6?

And now even Porsche has joined in, Porsche has been doing the sports car market, launched their high-end SUV Cayenne in 02, and now it has been a big success in the high-end market around the world.

At the same time, Mercedes-Benz has also launched the GLK series one after another, and even luxury cars such as Maserati have also been rumored to enter the SUV market again.

And now Jin Xiaoqiang has taken out the high-end flagship SUV of this car not long after the launch of his Qoros car series, and this young man's sense of smell is really keen.

And it is no exaggeration to say that just by looking at the shape of this car, Dark Cloud dares to guarantee that as long as this car is equipped with the right powertrain, with a high-end luxury interior, as long as it is launched on the market, then this car can be immediately popular.

And this car is a real full-size SUV, different from the Cayenne's nondescript products, the most important thing is that Jin Xiaoqiang also told him that he plans to try this car to change the non-load-bearing structure that the previous luxury SUVs have to use.

Jin Xiaoqiang intends to continue to use the original BFI body integrated molding technology used in Encre, and it is this technology that makes this car not flattering in appearance, but it has a great surname and safety surname.

Everyone knows that ordinary high-end luxury SUVs generally use a non-load-bearing body in order to emphasize safety, that is, to add a few girders to the chassis.

This kind of girder increases the weight and fuel consumption of the body at the same time, but also does provide a certain safety surname to the occupants in the car, but also provides the sturdiness and durability of the body, so that the car has a stronger passing surname and a stronger ability to adapt to the road surface.

However, this also brings certain disadvantages to a high-end car, that is, it can sometimes seem difficult to control, and the comfort is greatly discounted.

And it was the breakthrough of the original Enclage in this regard that made this car recognized by many consumers as soon as it was launched in North America.

While having a large body, it also has the comfortable surname of an ordinary urban SUV and the simple surname of the control, which is the biggest selling point of the Encre.

This time, Jin Xiaoqiang plans to copy such a car, and of course he doesn't plan to let go of this selling point, but these will have to be tested to a certain extent the finishing ability of their factory.

Fortunately, this body molding technology is actually not very difficult for Jin Xiaoqiang, but this concept has just emerged in recent years, and it has been boasted by Audi and other manufacturers who have used this technology.

In fact, this so-called one-piece molding technology is not really a one-time stamping of the body, there are still welded parts in it, and there are quite a few.

The process of the whole process is actually to use steel materials of different strength in different parts of the body, and then stamping, and then use laser welding to weld the stamping parts together, so that there will not be such ugly welding joints as ordinary welding.

Moreover, the strength of the whole molded body will be higher than that of the ordinary welded body.

This kind of technology is still a bit mysterious in these years, but it's a pity that it won't take a few years to dare to use such technology even if it is an ordinary street car with tens of thousands of dollars.

However, in these years, with such technology, especially the independent car companies of the Celestial Empire, Jin Xiaoqiang is really the only scorpion here, but at present, this laser welding technology, they do not have it in the factory, it seems that when the time comes, we will have to wait for Jin Xiaoqiang to go everywhere, upside down, to see if I can get a set of such technology from others.

And the other model, that is, Buick's 10 MPV Buick GL8.

In fact, in the MPV area, the market in the Celestial Empire has been tepid, and domestic families are not interested in such models, but general enterprises, or political axe institutions, will purchase more such models.

For so many years, Buick's old MPVGL8 has been the hegemon in this field in the Celestial Empire, even if it is the internationally famous Honda Odyssey, it has to lie down when the Celestial Empire faces this GL8.

At present, the GL8 sold by SAIC-GM has been gaining momentum in China, and it has also occupied the king of this model sales for a long time, so they have no intention of remodeling this MPV.

The replacement also waited for six years, and the old Buick GL8 was no longer accepted by consumers, so they came up with the corresponding new model, that is, the new 10 Buick GL8 with obvious BAK family characteristics.

The same new MPV has been widely popular since it was launched on the market, and continues to occupy the throne of this MPV sales champion.

So Jin Xiaoqiang is still very satisfied with this car and does not plan to make too many adjustments.
