What are the highlights of 08 Guangzhou Auto Show?

Guangzhou Auto Show is about to celebrate its sixth birthday. Although there is still controversy in the industry about whether Guangzhou Auto Show ranks alongside Beijing Auto Show and Shanghai Auto Show as the three major auto shows in China, although Guangzhou Auto Show is not as magnificent as Beijing Auto Show and Shanghai Auto Show in terms of exhibitors, I have a good impression on it since I participated in the first Guangzhou Auto Show. One is attracted by its hardware, and the other is like its convenient transportation. When the scale of Guangzhou Auto Show and the participation of manufacturers are increasing year by year, I am very interested in its actual content. To tell you the truth, I think the Shanghai and Beijing auto shows can attract manufacturers from all over the world to participate fully. Various world premieres and latest models are increasingly appearing in these two exhibitions. Apart from the attraction of China auto market itself, it is also related to the status of these two cities. One is the rising financial center and fashion capital of China, and the other is the national capital and political and cultural center. How can manufacturers not buy it? I believe that people who have been to previous Beijing auto shows have such an impression: "Dirty, chaotic, poor venue conditions and low service quality." Even if this year's Beijing Auto Show moved to a new venue, the area has expanded several times. Management is chaotic, traffic jams are serious, and public facilities (catering, parking, seats, toilets, etc.) are chaotic. ) also made the participating media complain. Even the global president of the manufacturer ran into the venue to attend the conference in the rain, so that some people said that if it were not for Beijing, such exhibition conditions would have scared away the manufacturers and the media. On the other hand, the development of Guangzhou Auto Show to this extent depends entirely on the strong consumption power of South China auto market and the automobile industry cluster formed by three Japanese brands in Guangzhou Pearl River Delta. Of course, it is also a very important factor for the Guangzhou municipal government and other departments to personally attract investment. As far as the status of the city is concerned, it is an objective fact that Guangzhou is not as good as Beijing and Shanghai, but it is precisely because of this that Guangzhou Auto Show has grown up with humility, made good hardware and software, and welcomed exhibitors and visitors from all directions with a better look every year. At this year's Guangzhou Auto Show, I feel that I have made progress in exhibiting cars. The obvious sign is that there are more new cars. In addition, the previous Guangzhou Auto Show was considered as a special performance of Japanese brands. Japanese cars are quite strong in the launch and exhibition of new cars, but they have changed this year. Among the three major Japanese brands, only Guangzhou Honda released a brand-new model, while the highlights of GM, Ford, Volkswagen and Audi were not lost. Self-owned brands are also very high-profile, and many new cars will be listed during the auto show. This phenomenon can also be regarded as a manifestation of the progress of Guangzhou Auto Show. If there is anything that needs to be broken in Guangzhou Auto Show, I think it is "internationalization". There are many new cars, but most of them will be listed in China soon. There are not many new cars that show the future development trend of various brands (these cars may not be listed in China or put into production in the near future), and concept car "big names" are also scarce. For ordinary consumers, this year's Guangzhou Auto Show is quite attractive. For car fans, there are so many reasons why I like Guangzhou Auto Show. Let me say one more thing, that is, Guangzhou Auto Show is a car show at home, which is very convenient and kind. As a citizen of Guangzhou, I certainly support the auto show at home. This is also a bit selfish for Guangzhou Auto Show as a fair media person. The highlight of the reporter's eyes is Cruze Chevrolet Cruze, which has been officially put into production and will be listed in China early next year. Cruze, which was unveiled at this auto show, is an imported model. Cruze made its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in June, 5438+ 10. This Guangzhou debut is Cruze's first show in Asia. As a brand-new product developed globally and facing the global market, Chevrolet Cruze is designed by integrating the global R&D strength of GM in key aspects such as powertrain, body structure, suspension, safety configuration and electrical system. This car will be equipped with the latest generation of 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter Ecotec VVT gasoline engines, and a brand-new 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The new regal, the new regal, is also considered as "the masterpiece of the world". The reason for this is that Regal of Shanghai GM appeared as early as a few years ago. After the listing of LaCrosse in 2006, Regal gradually reduced production and delisted, and now it is making a comeback based on Opel's new flagship model Insignia. The displacement of 2.0L and 2.4L will be introduced in advance, and then there will be 2.0T. The strong sports tendency and practical handling of this car will change consumers' consistent impression of Buick. Although there is no exact news about the appearance of this car at the auto show, I think it is still very likely to appear. The brand-new Audi A4 will be released in June 165438+ 10/6, and then displayed to the public at Guangzhou Auto Show. The new A4 comes from Audi's brand-new B8 platform, and its performance completely surpasses that of the old A4. For the domestic market, the extended wheelbase may be called Audi A4L. According to the information, the new A4 to be displayed at Guangzhou Auto Show in 2008 will be different from the current A4 models which mainly promote 1.8T and 2.0T. 2FSI and 1.8t ... It is reported that compared with the European version of the new A4, the domestic version of the new Audi A4 will continue to lengthen the route. The new A4, which will be exhibited at Guangzhou Auto Show in 2008, has a body length of 476 3 mm. The position changes of B8 platform, rear engine, gearbox and other parts have also solved some problems of the old A4. The second-generation mazda 6 and the second-generation Yi Rui in mazda 6 definitely made their debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show. Unlike the European prototype shown in Shenzhen before, they were officially made in China. Compared with the first-generation models, the second-generation models in mazda 6 have increased in size, body length increased by 85mm, width increased by 15mm, wheelbase increased by 50mm, and a brand-new power system was adopted. As the second generation of domestic mazda 6, Yi Rui's main displacement is 2.5L Yi Rui will be listed around the Spring Festival in 2009, and its coupe version will be listed in the next 3-6 months. Fabia, a new generation of Skoda Jing Rui Skoda, has appeared in domestic auto shows many times. Skoda Jing Rui of Guangzhou Auto Show is the official domestic version of fabia. Jing Rui and POLO are both PQ24 platforms, which can be equipped with engines with displacement of 1.4 liters and 1. 6 liters, the matching gearboxes are 5-speed manual gearbox and 6-speed automatic manual gearbox, which are exactly the same as the power configuration of POLO. But physically, fabia is obviously longer than POLO. The body length of nearly 4 meters has also shaped the image of a big man in a car. BMW 335i The new BMW 335i will be officially introduced to China and will be listed at the Guangzhou Auto Show. After the mid-term modification, the 335i model will directly adopt the BMW 3 Series design, equipped with the same 3.0 twin-turbo engine as the BMW X6. The estimated price is 800,000-900,000 yuan. As an imported car, the 335i can be regarded as the stone of BMW Brilliance's new 3 Series, which has been confirmed to be listed early next year. At present, BMW Brilliance Factory is carrying out trial production of the new 3 Series. In terms of external dimensions, the length of the new 3 Series is increased by 1 1 mm compared with the old one, and the front and rear wheel tracks are also widened, but the internal transverse dimensions of the two models are exactly the same. In addition, the power of the small modified model has been improved in an all-round way, and the maximum power and torque of the new 320i model have been improved. The new 325i is equipped with a 3.0-liter engine and the 335i is equipped with a twin-turbo engine.
