In 2020, judging from the current product planning, it will be another year of "fairy fighting". Besides BBA, there are some new cars worth looking forward to. Next, let's see which luxury brand models are most worth looking forward to!
Cadillac CT4
Time to market: the first quarter of 2020
New car features: high-power rear-wheel drive, equipped with 2.0T engine.
In the past two years, Cadillac has adopted a brand-new design and won the hearts of many young consumers.
As an American luxury brand in China, Cadillac has finally ushered in its own spring after experiencing the previous phoenix nirvana.
Especially after CT5 received great attention, it proved that this design was completely accepted by the market. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good new choice to launch a more cost-effective CT4 model.
The new Cadillac CT4 adopts the latest family-style design in appearance. The new car will provide two different appearances, the luxury version and the sports version, while the front of the luxury version has more chrome decoration to reflect the luxury texture. In the version that first appeared in China in June 5438+10, last year, the sports kit was used, and its front face was covered with a large area of black mesh grille, and silver decorative strips were added to create a strong sense of sports. Compared with the domestic ATS-L main sales model, halogen headlights are still used, and the new car will also use LED light source groups.
From the side, the length, width and height of this car of 4760mm×1815mm×1mm and the wheelbase of 2775mm also make it quite competitive in the same class.
In addition to the sporty design, the large-size aluminum alloy rim also makes it more atmospheric and can get a lot of high marks in visual effects.
The interior design of CT4 will retain the combination of three-spoke steering wheel and chrome-plated decoration, and the overseas version of pointer instrument panel will be more competitive in the market if it is replaced by full LCD instrument panel.
However, the large-size multimedia LCD screen is quite in line with the habits of domestic consumers. After integrating the interactive function of Carplay mobile phone and the car-machine interconnection system, more people will be optimistic.
Another selling point of CT4 comes from the Alpha rear-drive platform. Buying a high-powered rear-wheel drive at the CT5 price is undoubtedly good news for Cadillac fans trained by ATS-L models.
In addition, what kind of driving experience will a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 240 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm provide with an 8-speed automatic transmission? It is worth looking forward to.
BMW 2 Series GranCoupe
Time to market: within 2020
New car features: imported sales? Entry-level BMW GranCoupe
Speaking of BMW brand, Chinese people have a deeper impression of BMW 3 Series. Whether traveling at home or changing cars, the BMW 3 Series has always been the key target of the 300,000 yuan consumer group.
In order to meet the demand, BMW Brilliance also launched BMW 1 series to fill the market. However, this car's ruthlessness and meanness to the rear space has also made countless media people in the automobile industry unforgettable.
At the 20 19 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2-Series GranCoupe based on the new predecessor platform FAAR was officially released.
On the basis of continuing BMW's family-style kidney-shaped air intake grille, black grille decoration is added, supplemented by LED light source headlight group and compact body structure, which looks more fierce as a whole.
The overall style of this four-door sedan version is radical, and the design of the air inlet of the three-stage front bumper incorporates the design style of the performance car, which is also the essence of the famous M series.
In terms of body size, the actual length, width and height data are 4526 mm× 1 800 mm×1420 mm, and the wheelbase is 2670 mm, which is more friendly than the "compactness" of1series.
At the same time, BMW's classic "Hough Angle" will not appear on the new car, but the duck tail design with strip taillights, supplemented by the combination of tail air outlet and bilateral exhaust, constructs the dynamic posture of the tail.
This sports model follows the dynamic black tone in the interior style, and the three-spoke steering wheel has been widely recognized by Bimmer. All-LCD instrument panel is regular in shape and rich in information, which is combined with semi-suspended multimedia LCD screen.
In addition, the interior design of the new car will be highly consistent with the new BMW 1 series, and the driver-centered concept will be implemented in the 2 Series GranCoupe.
In terms of internal configuration, the new car is equipped with dual 10.24 inch screens and iDrive? 7.0 car multimedia system, and optional panoramic sunroof.
In terms of power, the choice of 2 series GranCoupe is also very rich. 2 18i, 228i, M235i and diesel version 220d are available.
The diesel version is difficult to enter the domestic market, while the 2 18i model is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine with a maximum horsepower of 140. The 228i model is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 23 1.
In addition, the M235ixDrive model is also equipped with a high-power version of the 2.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 306 horsepower. Transmission is matched with 6-speed manual gearbox, 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
New Audi A4L
Time to market: April 2020
New car features: little change in appearance? Configuration may increase or decrease? You can choose three forces.
The news that 20 19 brand-new Audi A4L is listed in China has been widely circulated. Meanwhile, as the travel version A4, Audi A4? Avant will also land on the market in August.
However, in view of the actual situation of the domestic consumer market, Avant may not shine brilliantly, so it mainly introduces the new Audi A4L.
As a mid-term redesigned model, the appearance of the new Audi A4L has not changed much. The brand-new family front face has made people look familiar on A6L, and the angular headlights have changed in internal structure compared with the previous generation.
However, as a "lighting factory", Audi will definitely play more tricks in the sense of science and technology of external configuration besides the LED light source group.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the regular version, the new A4L also offers S-line models, and will use black decorative panels for easy distinction.
In addition, in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4851(4858 )×1847×1439 (141) respectively, and the wheelbase is 2908 mm
At the same time, according to the difference between the normal version and the sports version, we also provide two kinds of wheels, 18 inch and 19 inch, which correspond to the tire size of 245/40. R 18 and 245/35? R 19 .
Although the official hasn't revealed much about the interior information of the new Audi A4L, according to the previous spy photos, there won't be much change based on the design of overseas models.
At the same time, the concave design of the three-spoke steering wheel is also conducive to the creation of sports effects. In addition, the new car is equipped with 10. 1 inch MMI suspended curtain, which supports touch function.
In detail, the new car replaced the MMI controller in front of the original gear handle with a storage box. Generally speaking, the configuration can be increased or decreased appropriately.
The new Audi A4L will be equipped with 2.0T? L4 engine, and provide three adjustment versions, the maximum horsepower is 150, 190 and 252 respectively. Except for the 150 HP model, the rest are all four-wheel drive versions.
It can be seen that the design of Audi A4L has not changed much, and the three power configurations can also meet the needs of most consumers for luxury brand mid-size cars.
The only thing to pay attention to is the increase or decrease of configuration and the control of price positioning. Audi brand, as a cost-effective choice among luxury brands, can neither set the tone too high nor pull the price by itself, especially A4L, a high-selling brand.
New BMW 5 Series
Time to market: within 2020
New car features: mid-term redesigned models? The overall change is not big? Luxury remains the same.
The luxury of BMW brand has been deeply impressed by consumers in China, especially the BMW 5 Series, a medium and large car owned by BMW, which is still loved by many consumers.
This BMW's masterpiece has become the focus of the luxury brand large car camp within a few years.
At the same time, the price advantage of BMW 5 Series has increasingly become a strong support for market competition. However, the better news is that the new 5 series will be launched soon.
(The picture shows the current BMW 5 Series)
In 2020, the new 5 Series will be unveiled and further optimized for the front face design.
Although the appearance of the current 5 series is exaggerated on the basis of the previous generation, it is worth looking forward to whether the new 5 series will adopt a more exaggerated double kidney air intake grille shape like the new 7 series.
At the same time, the internal structure of the light group on BMW's current models will also be adjusted, with a stronger scientific and technological atmosphere.
(The picture shows the current BMW 5 Series)
The interior style of the new 5 Series will continue to retain the more subtle three-spoke steering wheel design, the full LCD instrument panel and the floating multimedia touch screen will continue to exist, but the shape of the central control LCD screen will be adjusted.
Besides, iDrive? 7.0 Car engine system will continue to be installed on new cars as "official designation".
(The picture shows the current BMW 5 Series)
The new 5 Series will continue to use the 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine with high and low power, and the 540i model equipped with the 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine is expected to appear as the icing on the cake.
At the same time, the new car will match the 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The high ownership of BMW 5 Series proves the success of this generation of models, and the new 5 Series will undoubtedly incorporate more fresh elements on the basis of cash. Whether a new product can be accepted by consumers depends on the actual feedback from the market.
New generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Time to market: within 2020
New car features: Mercedes-Benz brand executive flagship? Stick to a conservative appearance? Will the interior be more exaggerated?
Since it is a luxury brand, you can't help but mention Mercedes-Benz. As the luxury flagship model of Mercedes-Benz brand, a new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be unveiled this year.
It is worth noting that since 20 13, the cumulative production of S-class cars has exceeded 500,000, which is in the leading position of luxury brands in both overseas and domestic automobile consumption markets. The arrival of a new generation of S-class will make more adjustments on the basis of cash.
(The picture shows a new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class imaginary map)
As the perennial leader of BBA camp, S-class has more advantages than old rivals BMW 7 Series and Audi A8L in the market.
Based on other versions of this generation of S-class, such as long-axis S-class, Maibakh S-class and Maibakh S-class Pullman, a powerful product matrix of this model is gradually established.
In the replacement of Mercedes-Benz S-Class, there may be no large-scale design changes, and the classic S-Class design is expected to remain, but the brand-new front face and tail shape will provide new sensory stimulation to Mercedes-Benz S-Class consumers.

Back to the interior design, the existing linked screen design may be replaced by an independent LCD screen.
Among them, the full LCD dashboard continues to be retained, and the area of the central control LCD screen is further increased, and it is placed in the area of the current S-class air conditioning button and the front central storage box, and the use area is surprising.
The news about the new generation of S-class is still limited. However, as a luxury brand executive car, no matter whether it can squeeze out the limit of such a large displacement engine, the brand-new 3.0T six-cylinder engine should not be absent.
At the same time, in order to respond to the call of environmental protection, the power system combining fuel engine and +48V electrification system will also be necessary.
As one of the representative works of luxury brands, the new generation of S-class will also cause a new round of market competition in BBA camp.
Summary:
2020 is the brand year of BBA. In this way, each brand will inevitably launch many models to ensure its market share. However, plans can never keep up with rapid changes. A sudden epidemic forced these plans to be suspended or postponed. At the same time, the economy of the whole industry has also been affected, and those customers who used to be luxury brands will also be under some economic pressure. In this case, everything will become an unpredictable variable in 2020.
Of course, as a brand that has accumulated a certain strength in the China market, BBA will still be the mainstream of luxury brand car market in 2020. Which luxury brand car would you choose?
