*********
So in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, the most critical highlight of this model is the 1.0 ECOBOOST engine, which is definitely a real Captain America!
The 1.0 three-cylinder small body can provide 180 horsepower of violent level performance, if this engine is taken out, it will definitely be an immediate full shock!
All small displacement engines, have to kneel in front of this Captain America and sing conquest!
Volkswagen's classic 1.4TSI engine makes 135 hp, and their 1.8T makes just 160 hp.
And this engine is equipped with the 2012 Focus, but only 5.0L 100 kilometers of fuel consumption, such data, can make the public kneel and sing to conquer!
As soon as he thought of this magic machine of the later generations, he was about to be born in his own hands, and Jin Xiaoqiang's careful liver couldn't suppress the bursts of ping-pong jumping!
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the movements at hand became faster, this engine is not very easy to do, and it will take a long time to adjust.
Li Qiming, an engineer who is very keen on energy conservation and environmental protection, and small displacement engine design, has been working on the miniaturization of the ECOBOOST engine designed by Jin Xiaoqiang before.
However, after working for such a long time, it is only to make this engine 1.8L, and it is a little difficult to think about downsizing.
And the biggest problem that bothered him. It is the problem of turbo hysteresis, although Jin Xiaoqiang replaced the turbocharger of this engine with a low-inertia rotor turbine later made by the Americans at the beginning of the design of the ECOBOOST, but when the displacement of the engine is smaller, the performance of this low-inertia rotor turbine has also declined, and the performance can be said to be very unsatisfactory.
Now if you let this guy know, Jin Xiaoqiang will easily crack it. This turbocharger problem, this guy has to jump over, knock Jin Xiaoqiang's head open, and then study it carefully, and study the internal structure of his head.
SO JIN XIAOQIANG DIDN'T RUSH TO FIND THIS GUY FIRST AND LET HIM DO THIS 1.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE.
In his opinion, this model should be equipped with at least two displacements of engines. One is 1.0 displacement, and the other is 1.2 displacement.
Don't you and the arrogant Europeans like it the most, what energy saving and environmental protection, what engine miniaturization?
Good! Lao Tzu is to defeat you in the place where you are most worthy of pride, so that you can only look at Lao Tzu and kneel. Sing conquer for me!
Volkswagen in the field of engine downsizing. It has always been ahead of other big car manufacturers, but after 2008, because of the impact of the financial crisis, there is also the problem of rising world oil prices.
All over the world, small displacement cars are popular, and at this time, Volkswagen relied on their 1.4TSI Golf to fight their way out of adversity.
And in those years, there was also a boom in low-displacement cars in the Celestial Empire, for no other reason. The government mainly provides a large number of policy subsidies for small displacement vehicles with a displacement of less than 1.6L.
Later, with the recovery of the economy, the state also canceled this policy, and the sales of large-displacement cars also rebounded strongly, and waited until 2012, with the luxury high-end cars of foreign capital. began to cut prices frantically, which led to the Chinese people's enthusiasm for the consumption of models below 1.6L.
In that year, the sales of large-displacement cars, especially those with a height of 2.0 liters or more, rose instead of falling.
On the one hand, this is related to the ill-intentioned intentions of foreigners. On the other hand, it is also related to the immature concept of automobile consumption of Chinese people.
To know that from 2011 onwards, Mercedes. BMW, Audi and other luxury models began to cut prices to clear their inventories, just because they wanted to make way for new models with small displacement in the future.
Of course, their future concept is still based on small displacement cars, you must know that in the world's large auto shows in those years, the leaders are all small displacement models.
In the following 2012 major auto shows, Volkswagen has launched 1.4TSI, 1.2TSI new varieties, and Ford is such a 1.0L ECOBOOST freak.
And since then, hybrid cars have begun to enter the market, and Toyota is at the forefront of many car manufacturers.
Now Jin Xiaoqiang has made Ford's classic violent freak 7 years later in advance, in order to seize the opportunity.
Isn't your Volkswagen future generations preaching what small displacement energy saving and environmental protection, the most powerful, Lao Tzu is going to slap your face in public this time, and it is on the small steel cannon model that you are most proud of! …,
And the reason why Jin Xiaoqiang came up with such a 1.0 ECOBOOST engine is also his own ideas.
The ECOBOOST engine, since it was made by him last year and went on sale at the Shanghai Auto Show this year, has been the focus of discussion among car enthusiasts at home and abroad.
From the current point of view, their Qoros model has been on the market for a few months and has been performing well in the market, and this ECOBOOST engine has established a very good reputation and image among consumers!
However, this engine has been stereotyped as a must-have engine for high-end luxury cars since its birth, so the price of the models equipped with this ECOBOOST engine on the market is not cheap.
Whether it is abroad or in China, the starting price of the Qoros series in China is more than 200,000 yuan, which can compete with Audi A4 and BMW's three series.
The high-end Qoros 8 is equipped with a V6 ECOBOOST engine, and it is directly bought at a starting price of 300,000 yuan, which can be compared with the high-end configuration of the BMW 3 Series. There is also the entry-level of the BMW 5 Series, as well as the Audi A6, and even models like Mercedes-Benz to compete.
Even abroad, this car is not cheap, and the starting price is more than 30,000 US dollars!
But the main reason why this car is currently very popular on the market is because of its high cost performance.
Whether at home or abroad, the price of this car has always been in line with the same level as Audi, slightly lower than BMW. Pricing that opens up the gap with Mercedes-Benz.
In this way, in the hearts of consumers, the image of a people-friendly car in a high-end car has been established!
And before it went on the market, they boasted a lot about this car, and the ECOBOOST engine was even more bragged, so many consumers will be full of expectations for this engine.
And most importantly, the powertrain of this car. The powertrain of ECOBOOST+POWERSHIFT sounds full of technology, and it is really fuel-efficient!
Don't think that people who can afford such a car don't care about the price of oil, even in foreign countries, every time the price of gasoline rises by a few cents, everyone will feel the same pain!
And the current Qoros series is equipped with this powertrain. In this era of rising oil prices. It is to win a considerable reputation for Huayang Power, strong power, fuel saving, and durability, which is really good.
Such praise appears almost every day in the forum of Autohome's Qoros series.
However, at present, the people who can enjoy such a powertrain are all people with a small net worth, after all, this Qoros series is not cheap to buy now.
But for those who also want to enjoy this powertrain. But what about people who don't have that much money in their pockets?
For example, the kind of people who have more than 100,000 yuan in their hands, but want to buy a high-end car to enjoy it, they like to try new things, ordinary models, and they are completely out of their eyes!
Do you just watch them lose to the product areas of other car brands?
No! Of course not! Since you also like the powertrain of ECOBOOST+POWERSHIFT, I can let you enjoy it too.
Since you don't have enough money. Then this 1.0 version of the ECOBOOST engine is your best choice, don't look at his small size, but his energy is not small at all, this guy can provide more than 2.0 engine to provide the power provided by it!
And he's also fuel-efficient. With a fuel consumption of 5 liters per 100 kilometers, what are you waiting for?
This is why Jin Xiaoqiang insisted that the 1.0 ECOBOOST engine come out. Another major reason for this small steel cannon model to be the heart.
Open the ECOBOOST engine to these low-end customers, but like to try new things, so that if they taste the benefits of this engine, they will definitely become loyal customers of this brand when they are more financially capable in the future.
In this way, he can expand his customer base and cultivate customer loyalty, why not do it?
As long as this model is properly packaged, then this car will definitely win the favor of many consumers, just the engine indicators of this car, as well as fuel consumption, is a big hype point, so this small steel cannon, in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, can completely replace the popular Focus a few years later, and become the king of the latest generation of small steel cannons in the Celestial Empire!
However, before the car is launched on the market, it is still necessary to practice the internal strength first, the engine has been determined, and the body has been determined, so of course, the next step is to take the Audi manufacturing process.
When Audi made this car, it took a lot of thought, everyone knows that the lighter the body, the lower the fuel consumption, but the high-cost all-aluminum body technology, if used in this car, it is not suitable, after all, the cost is too high.
So Audi used high-temperature water-cooled compression molding technology for this car, such a steel body, with a very good stretch, and the other 11% is the use of hot forming rigidity in the key part.
It is the use of such high-strength steel and ultra-high-strength steel splicing body, which makes the torsional resistance of this car very good, and the body-in-white is also quite light, only 2211 kg.
Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang will not let go of such a manufacturing process...... (To be continued.) )
