This Enclave was originally a new car developed by GM in 07 specifically for the Audi Q7, and it was also equipped with a 3.6L SIDI direct-injection all-aluminum engine that GM once rated as the world's top ten engine. &*.. Fastest Update**
At the beginning of the launch, this car can be said to have made a good start, after all, it is a new car developed by the Americans themselves, so it is also very popular in the United States.
Because of GM's strong public relations capabilities, this car was well received in 07 of the year of its launch, and in 07 this car was rated as one of the top ten SU models in the world.
In '08 it was voted the best luxury car again, certainly in the range below $75,000.
And in 0 years, this car was once again selected as one of the top ten SU models in the world.
In terms of honor alone, this car can be said to have won numerous awards in the world-class selection, but in terms of the real sales of this car, it can be said that it is really bad.
In the first two years of its launch, it was still popular in North America for a while, and after that, it was overturned by Ford, which has adjusted its strategy, and some SU models from Toyota.
In China, the sales of this Enclave have been tepid, and it can even be said that it is a little embarrassing, in China, when this car just entered the Celestial Empire, it was called to a high price of more than 700,000 yuan.
However, in comparison with models of the same price, the interior and shape of this car, as well as the power, are really not outstanding, and all he has is an American GM brand.
So this car was quickly spurned by consumers in the Celestial Empire, and then GM could only adjust the price to maintain sales, and by 2012, the price of this car could only be maintained at a price of more than 50 thousands. But sales are still not up.
At this time, the opponent he was aiming at, Audi's Q7, had already left him behind in terms of sales. At this time, he could only be reduced to the opponent of models of the Audi Q5 and Infiniti.
Of course, these belong to the Encre that was made out by General Motors in the previous life, and now this Qoros S6 of Huayang Power can no longer be said to be the original Encre, because he has been completely changed by Jin Xiaoqiang in terms of appearance and power, and the current car can only be said to be from the concept of design, which was born from the Encre at the very beginning.
First of all, the shape of this car has been replaced by Jin Xiaoqiang with a longer and larger version of the more visually impactful Mazda CX-5. &*.. Fastest Update**
In 2005. Mazda's new car series has not yet been finalized at all, and in the last life, they were the latest SU. It was also named CX-7. This is the predecessor concept version of the CX-5, but the car will not be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show until next year.
So when Jin Xiaoqiang took out the shape of this car a year in advance. It is still quite visually impactful, and the reporters on the scene were first attracted by the sharp and domineering appearance of this car and Qoros 8.
After that, it is the core powertrain of this car, just now Jin Xiaoqiang introduced to you, the entry-level of this car is equipped with a 3.5L 6 ECOBOOST engine, this engine has been tuned. It is capable of delivering 350 hp of peak power and 450 Nm of torque to the large SU.
Such data. That's a lot more than the 22 hp and 366 Nm of torque that the 3.6-liter SIDI engine used in the original car.
At the same time, the shark fin is equipped with a POWERSHIFT6-speed dual-clutch transmission, which gives this car perfect acceleration performance and fuel-saving performance.
And to know this 3. The 5L6 ECOBOOST engine, which was selected as one of Ward's top 10 engines this year, is already a sure thing.
In this way, this Qoros S6 looks like an absolutely attractive model in every aspect. …,
Although there are no other detailed test reports, many reporters believe that this car can definitely be selected as one of the top ten most popular SU models this year.
Seeing the reaction of the reporters, Jin Xiaoqiang also felt very happy, so it seems that the SU model in this Qoros series is about to be a big success at present.
And GM doesn't need to say it, he has already communicated with himself, as long as this car is on the market, they will immediately start large-scale hype, you must know these means, GM can be said to be absolutely proficient, so they don't need to worry at all.
GM will definitely do its best, because they don't want their annual income to decrease, after all, the current Qoros S6 can be said to be an absolutely attractive model, and they definitely don't want such a model to be smashed in their own hands.
And at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi has already shown their Q7 concept car, and at this year's auto show, Audi has brought the Q7 and announced the official launch.
Before BMW made the X5, and then Porsche created a Cayenne to disrupt the large SU market, it was enough to make GM worried, because of these two cars, the sales of the Dodge SU, which they sold very well in the United States, have also been affected to a certain extent.
Now Audi has come up with a Q7 to participate, GM is even more troublesome, BMW, Audi, and Porsche's SU model positioning is very clear, that is, to dominate the high-end market of SU.
GM has been unable to come up with a model to deal with for a long time, and now with the Qoros S6 from Huayang Power, they feel much better.
Although this car was not developed by them, they are also a partner of Huayang Power, and there is no ambiguity in terms of profit stratification.
And with such a car, they also have the confidence to compete with BMW, Porsche and Audi.
So in fact, they are the manufacturers who pay the most attention to this model, and even their attention to this car is only higher than that of Huayang Power.
In order to maintain its precarious position in the U.S. market, GM has long made up its mind that this time it must package this Qoros S6 well. In their eyes, this car is a powerful tool for their future profitability.
When the memorists paid attention to this Qoros S6 model, they soon shifted their attention to another behemoth parked next to the Qoros S6.
Same as Qoros S6. This Qoros P6, which is full of domineering, is also very eye-catching.
The prototype of this Qoros P6, Jin Xiaoqiang took it from Ford's latest Raptor F-150 in November 200, when this latest model of Ford large pickup truck attracted the attention of many American consumers as soon as it was launched.
The reason is also very simple, regardless of the others, the shape of this car is too domineering, compared to the previous Ford and GM pickups. The original appearance of those pickup trucks can only be reduced to scum.
It was from this time that GM and other large pickup truck manufacturers began to design the latest model pickup trucks. Proper 'introduction' is, to put it bluntly, a copycat of the design concept of this F-150.
So in the future, GM has been competing with Dodge for Ford pickups. On the body of several new models of pickup trucks, we can see the shadow of this F-150.
Originally, it was born at the end of 200, but now it was suddenly taken to 2005. Nearly 4 years ahead of schedule, compared to the large pickup trucks that are now popular on the market, the shape of this car can definitely be said to have an explosive impact.
Originally, the shape of the front nose of this pickup truck was a bit square, and Jin Xiaoqiang chose a copycat. In order to be able to maintain the original style, but also to highlight the familiality of the Qoros series. …,
He retained the original car's original Founder's thick front nose. Not much on the logo and grille on the front of the car, but the corresponding changes were made.
He made the original three-dimensional protruding Qoros car series unique vertical waterfall is the air intake grille, to make it more flat, no longer like the previous cars like a protruding piece, so this car does not have other Qoros car series, said to bring people the kind of sharp and impactful visual effect.
However, it has added a lot of roundness and cuteness, making the original square car nose no longer look as dull as the original, but it highlights the characteristics of this car's vigorous atmosphere.
In terms of the appearance of the car, if the front of the previous Qoros series is concerned, it is easy to give people a sharp and domineering feeling, which is more like a European-style heavy sword.
Then this pickup truck gives people the feeling that it is less sharp, but at the same time, it adds a strong atmosphere, and he gives people the feeling that it is more like a round battering ram, thick and powerful.
"Mr. Jin, can you give us a detailed introduction to this new car?"
GM's royal reporter was really clever enough, and after seeing this pickup truck, he immediately asked a question and asked Jin Xiaoqiang to show himself to everyone.
It is already clear to everyone that this car was obviously developed for the American market, although there are many pickup models bought in other parts of the world, but the best sales area is obviously North America, and especially the United States, where the pickup culture is most developed.
"Okay, everyone must have seen that this car belongs to the Qoros series, and this pickup truck is positioned as a high-end luxury pickup. HIS POWERTRAIN IS POWERED BY A 6-LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE OR A 5.4-LITER EIGHT-LITER SUPERCHARGED ENGINE WITH OUR LATEST POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION......"
When Jin Xiaoqiang began to introduce this car, the reporters in the audience were quiet, because this was the first time that Jin Xiaoqiang revealed to everyone that Huayang Power could already produce 8 engines.
You must know that this year, the world's enterprises that can manufacture 8 engines, it can be said that there are not many enterprises, everyone also knows that Huayang Power is such a rising star, as long as you are willing to study, sooner or later you will be able to find out the 8 engine, but what I didn't expect is that Huayang Power actually made a breakthrough so quickly.
