The road still has to go step by step, and the meal has to be eaten in one bite, although after the investigation in the past few days, Jin Xiaoqiang has understood the bureau of the Japanese department, and he also wants to go back and hurry up to develop a new hybrid car, but now the Paris Motor Show is not over, and he can only continue to be trapped here, waiting for the end of the auto show here.

In fact, it's not that he can't leave the auto show early, after all, in the first few days of the auto show, after the beginning, he has no important work, and he can choose to leave.

However, because he needed to investigate the future trend of the automobile market, he still chose to stay, but it was the two-day stay that caused him a lot of surprises.

First of all, he got the news from GM, because the ECOBOOST engine, after a few years on the market, and on the Qoros model, the performance is very stable, widely praised by consumers, so the ECOBOOST 2.0 engine, as well as the 3.5L V6 engine, has been shortlisted as this year's Ward Top Ten Engines.

There is more than one engine selected for this award this year, and their other 1.6L naturally aspirated engine installed on the Octavia model has also been selected as one of the top ten Wards this year.

If ECOBOOST can be selected as Ward's top 10, it is understandable, after all, this series of engines, after the original birth in 2008, is a frequent visitor to Ward's top 10 engines.

But this 1.6L naturally aspirated engine was selected, which really surprised Jin Xiaoqiang, of course, thanks to the fact that the engine itself is very good.

However, it was able to be selected as one of the top ten Wards in the world of large-displacement engines, and this 1.6L naturally aspirated engine still surprised Jin Xiaoqiang and other senior executives of the company.

This time, the 1.6L engine was selected as one of Ward's top 10 engines, and the reason given by the United States was that this engine had a very good performance in terms of noise and fuel economy.

Moreover, this engine, while saving fuel, but the power it can provide is not at all weaker than other engines of the same level.

At low rpm it can provide ultra-high torque, which is very in line with the habits of modern urbanites, 5600 rpm can provide 104 horsepower, and at 3800 rpm, it can provide 150 Nm of torque.

Other engines of the same class, unless they have been specially tuned, the rest is only to eat ash behind his ass.

To get such an evaluation, Jin Xiaoqiang is of course very happy, but at this time he can only feel sad for the public silently in his heart, originally this type of engine, in 04 years, Volkswagen in order to update more new models on the PQ35 platform, only according to their FSI technology, and developed a new model of engine.

Later, this model of engine was not only used in Skoda, but also in POLO, and has always been a well-received engine.

Even the latest 1.6L engine launched by BMW's MINI in the following years was also based on this engine and developed in Shanzhai.

It's a pity that this engine, in 03 years, was taken by Jin Xiaoqiang and made it out, which is equivalent to directly cutting off one of Volkswagen's arms.

It is no wonder that in the past two years, Volkswagen has performed unusually sluggishly in the low-end car market, which is inseparable from Jin Xiaoqiang's copycat of their engine.

And this engine originally had a good reputation for cost performance, but now this reputation has been quietly taken off by Jin Xiaoqiang from the head of the public and put on the head of Huayang Power.

In the past two years, Huayang Octavia, which is equipped with this engine, is not only popular in the Celestial Empire, but also widely sought after by consumers all over the world. …,

Especially for civilian consumers who do not have a lot of pockets, there are many such people in North America, Australia, and Europe, and Octavia's reputation among these groups is quite good.

This has laid a good foundation for this engine to be selected as one of this year's Ward Top Ten Engines, and in the past year or two, German and Japanese, as well as American manufacturers have not launched new technology engines on a large scale, so this engine has more opportunities to show its face.

Coupled with GM and Huayang Power, they spared no effort in public relations, and finally this engine was listed in this year's Ward Top 10 selection.

The results of this year's Ward Top Ten not only brought quite a surprise to Huayang Power and Jin Xiaoqiang, but also surprised other mainstream automotive media and fans in the world.

The fledgling Huayang Power, there are actually three engines selected as Ward's top ten, which is definitely big news.

In the past two days, we have entered the Paris Motor Show, which is open to the general public, and it has become even more lively in the past two days, especially in the booth of Huayang Power.

Although the French side was uneasy and kindly arranged Huayang Power in the most remote and worst environment in the No. 7 exhibition hall, these could not stop the enthusiasm of the news media and fans.

Originally, at the media open day in the first few days, the latest models announced by Huayang Power one after another, as well as engine technology, were enough to attract attention.

But who would have thought that in just a few days, the top ten Ward in the United States have selected three engines of Huayang Power.

At this moment, even some old-fashioned European people who originally had prejudices about Huayang Power, as well as car fans, were also interested in Huayang Power at this time, and everyone wanted to come and see what was surprising about this Huayang Power, which could make them achieve such results.

And after they came to the scene to take a look, many of them were shocked, you must know that the K5 model, even after it was launched in 2011, is also considered to be a very sci-fi and shocking beautiful model.

And now it is 2005, and many large car companies have just gotten rid of the square head and square brain design that has been used for decades in the design of car shapes, especially American and European car manufacturers.

But those new models of theirs, if they are now in front of the K5 of Huayang Power, such a comparison is simply useless.

The beautiful sci-fi appearance, coupled with the car's more surprising fuel consumption and starting price of 27,000 euros, all made the visitors feel overjoyed.

In fact, when setting the price, Jin Xiaoqiang and many senior executives of the company also discussed for a long time, and Jin Xiaoqiang's idea was to make this car as civilian as possible.

However, many company executives, after examining the current European car market, do not agree and adopt this pricing method.

You must know that the later generations of K5 also faced the embarrassment of thinking very highly of themselves at the beginning, and the pricing was a little high when it was first listed, which led to the result that it came out of the country in addition to good sales in South Korea, in other parts of the world, sales results were average.

Later, Kia also realized the mistake they made at the beginning, and after adjusting the price several times, this made the sales of K5 gradually become popular.

But that's also because Kia's K5 at that time had a beautiful shape, and there was nothing surprising about the powertrain.

But now it's different, the current K5 belonging to Huayang Power, equipped with the powertrain, but in 2010, as soon as it was launched, it became famous all over the world SKYACTIV technology.

As soon as this technology was launched that year, it was directly selected into the selection of Ward's top ten, which is rare in the history of Ward's top ten engines for decades. …,

And now the technical content of the K5 of Huayang Power, which is equipped with such a powertrain, is obviously more than a step higher than that of the original Kia K5.

And that's still compared with the K5 five years later, it's only 2005, and this kind of creation blue sky technology, if compared with the current engine of the same level, the technical content is more than a step higher.

So if the price of this K5 is too low at this time, it will obviously not be conducive to the future development of the brand, so in the end, after the company's senior management to participate in the Paris Motor Show, and the management personnel discussed it, the price of the K5 was finally given at the price of 27,000 euros.

This price in the current Europe can be included in the price range of the middle end a little higher, but the average ordinary family can still afford it.

You must know that this year, the price of this car, can be regarded as very cheap, last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen launched the fifth generation of the Golf, but also 30,000 euros to start. And now the Golf, because of the problem of the dual-clutch transmission, has begun to be frequently exposed by various media, but the Germans have been reluctant to reduce the price for various reasons.

So compared with an unreliable model like the Golf, this K5 still has quite an advantage.

The price of Toyota's latest Camry and Honda's latest generation Accord is not as high as the price of this K5, but the technical content of the current generation of their two cars is also not as high as the price of this K5, so it is a matter of course that this car is sought after.

Within a few days of its opening to the general public at the Paris Motor Show, the K5 had already received orders for no less than 20,000 units.

These orders can be said to come from all over Europe, with no less than 5,000 orders received in France alone, and many orders from Spain, Italy, England, and Germany.

These orders are generally contributed by fans who come to these countries to participate in the auto show.

At the same time that the new car K5 was a great success on the market, Jin Xiaoqiang also received interview requests from various news media, because of the selection of the top ten by Ward, and more importantly, because this time the entire world's automobile industry has recognized him as a genius designer from the East!. ）
