How can a car win the hearts and minds of consumers?

For many beginner car consumers, it is not the power of the engine, not whether the transmission is automatic or not, nor whether the car is equipped with safety systems such as ESP, but the appearance!!

Especially for the current immature automobile market and consumers of the Celestial Empire, the best-selling of a model largely depends on the shape design of the car.

The beauty of a car will greatly affect the reputation of this car in the market, for example, the earliest independent car company of the Celestial Empire, Ricky Automobile, they have launched many affordable and affordable cars, and the power parameters, and configuration are not weaker than competitors' cars, and the price is not expensive.

But sales have not been able to rise, what is the biggest reason?

It is because of the shape design team of Ricky Automobile that the ugly shape of the car was designed.

For example, Ricky QQ6, as well as an early launch of the Qiyun sedan, the ugly appearance has been criticized by consumers in the Celestial Empire, and even won the title of turtle for Ricky Automobile.

This is enough to see how much the shape of a car will occupy in the hearts of consumers.

You must know that many car consumers in the Celestial Empire, they buy cars, not for safety, not for speed, not for driving pleasure, but for face!!

So if you can't design a car with a great appearance, even if you equip your car with a Bugatti Veyron powertrain and a sci-fi interior, it will be difficult for him to win the hearts of consumers.

And what is the most popular shape of the future car, of course, is the streamlined design, and the atmospheric, sci-fi shape is the most eye-catching.

And the model that Jin Xiaoqiang wants to 'design' at present is the extremely hot model that will be sold in the Celestial Empire market and even the world market in the future, the eighth-generation model of Hyundai Sonata.

Although Jin Xiaoqiang does not have much affection for stick cars and stick countries, as a person who has come over, he has to admire the design attainments of the eighth generation of Sonata launched by Hyundai.

The reason why Hyundai was able to surpass Ford in the ranking of world car companies in ten years later and rank fourth in the world is that the eighth-generation appearance of this Hyundai Sonata can be said to be indispensable.

The launch of the eighth generation of Sonata has changed people's impression of Korean cars in the past, ugly and old, but has added a more dynamic, energetic, feminine and domineering feeling.

You must know that ten years later, the global sales of the Hyundai Elantra, which was converted by the eighth generation of the Hyundai Sonata, were as high as 1.01 million units, ranking second among the world's best-selling models that year, only 10,000 units less than Toyota's Corolla.

Hyundai's global sales reached an unprecedented peak of 6.6 million units that year.

At that time, Hyundai's sales in the Tianchao were as high as 740,000 units, and Kia's models sold 461,000 units, accounting for more than 19% of the car sales market share of the Tianchao that year, and the emergence of the eighth generation of this Hyundai Sonata is indispensable.

This car was launched by Hyundai in 09, when it was designed with the design concept of fluid sculpture, which is to integrate the flow of liquid and the texture of sculpture, and exude a tough temperament in the soft appearance, which also makes the Sonata look elegant and dynamic.

As soon as this new car was launched, it caused a sensation in the market, and even created a miracle that orders have exceeded 10,000 before it was launched in South Korea.

And the beautiful appearance of this car is not for use, he is also very in line with modern cars, for the control of wind resistance and wind noise.

According to later Volkswagen's research, when this model is driving, the wind noise control is not even possible for Volkswagen and BMW.

Moreover, the beautiful liquid streamlined design also allows this car to greatly reduce the resistance of the air when driving at high speeds.

The drag coefficient is a car redesign, the parameters that must be taken into account, it is calculated through experiments, the drag coefficient of the general model is controlled between 0.25-0.4, generally speaking, the drag coefficient is as low as possible, and the drag coefficient of this car is controlled very low almost up to about 0.25.

You must know that such a drag coefficient is very remarkable for a mid-level car.

The smaller the drag coefficient, the lower the fuel consumption, and whether a car can smoothly go from research and development to production, its fuel consumption standard is a very important indicator.

Wind resistance, on the other hand, has a considerable impact on fuel consumption standards, because when the vehicle is moving, its wind resistance is proportional to the square of the vehicle speed.

For example, a 100 km/h vehicle experiences 4 times the air resistance of 50 km/h and 16 times that of a vehicle at 25 km/h.

If you want to drive the car at high speeds, its engine needs to use more fuel to increase its power and make it compete with wind resistance.

If the shape design is poor, the body drag coefficient is large, the fuel consumption is naturally high, and the market competitiveness will be lost.

According to tests, when a sedan travels at 80 km/h, 60% of the fuel consumption is used to overcome wind resistance.

For every 10% drop in the drag coefficient, fuel can be saved by 7%, and the higher the speed of the car, the greater the impact of the drag coefficient on fuel consumption.

Therefore, the low body and smooth body curve can effectively reduce the drag coefficient of the vehicle, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

This is a requirement for this Hyundai Sonata eighth generation but exactly did it, and it did it well, it is this beautiful and practical shape that makes this car a Hyundai staple, in the mid-range car market, can be with Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen a long and short.

The appearance of this car is undoubtedly a milestone for Hyundai Kia, and it is the successful launch of this car that makes Hyundai Kia later launch a series of models to win the market.

But now with the appearance of Jin Xiaoqiang, he can only say sorry to Hyundai Kia, but this kind of modern road, so that Hyundai has no way out, but Jin Xiaoqiang feels very comfortable.

To be honest, the national surname of this country is very admirable to Jin Xiaoqiang, but in the next few years, the nonsensical inferior surname shown by this country also makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel very disgusted, especially the fact that he can't face up to his past, which really makes Jin Xiaoqiang lack a good impression of this country.

Therefore, the appearance of the eighth generation of this modern Sonata is inevitable in Jin Xiaoqiang's view.

Of course, this car is not without shortcomings, the shortcomings of this car are his chassis design, you must know that this is also a common problem of Korean cars, that is, the ground is loose, when driving at high speeds, you can't experience the fun of driving at all, not to mention, it will make people feel a burst of fear from time to time.

However, for the chassis, Jin Xiaoqiang already has other plans, and the most important thing now is to get the shape design of this car out first.

For an automotive designer, especially a stylist, when designing a new car, the first thing to do is to be inspired.

When the idea is clearer, it is to draw a sketch, at this time the main line of the car and the details of the general direction of the design should be reflected, and a simple explanation should be added in the appropriate place, and the next link is not prepared.

Once you have the manuscript, you need to carry out further elaborate carving, and you need to use colored pens to clarify the design ideas.

Then there is the design of the inner box, which is very detailed to prepare for the future modeling.

After that, there is 1/5 of the clay model, this process requires the designer to carve one by one like an engraver, and it takes two to three months to do it very carefully.

Then it is to improve the 1/1 sludge model, and then use the 3D coordinate measuring machine to input the 1/1 sludge model data into the computer to establish a 3D model.

Then it is on the computer, all kinds of calculations and adjustments, and then these obtained parameters will be used to control CNC machine tools in the future to produce cars.

Then there is the matching of the chassis and the power system, after which the molded car can be produced, and after the car is produced, it will also undergo wind tunnel tests, road tests in various cruel road conditions, and crash tests.

When all of this is done, a mass-produced model is considered complete.

From design to completion, such a model generally requires a team of about dozens of engineers involved in various systems, and it usually takes about 36 months to complete.

However, now Jin Xiaoqiang's golden finger is full of firepower, so such a design task will not take so long, at least now he has completed the powertrain, this core part.

But the next part of the shape design, can not be so fast, during this time Jin Xiaoqiang is distracted, hiding behind the gear factory, he set aside himself in the office, making clay models.

In the past, when he was in school, he also learned this drawing and clay model, but he was not so specialized, but now Jin Xiaoqiang, who knows the parameters of the Sonata in later generations, still has a bit of a hand to capture if he wants to copy which car into a clay model.

A sketch, manuscript and inner box design that a designer would take a month or two to complete, Jin Xiaoqiang completed in a few days, and now he has advanced to the sculptural stage of 1/5 of the clay model.

With such progress and such an elegant and perfect design, in the eyes of powerful people like Wang Guoqiang and Li Qiming, this Jin Xiaoqiang has risen from a genius to the point of a genius!!

He's so powerful, it's terrifying!

They knocked on Jin Xiaoqiang's brain to see how this guy's brain grew?
