1993, Opel entered the China market. In addition to Veda, Safely and Astra are also Opel models, which can be seen from time to time in the street. In 20 15, when Chinese people didn't know the brand Opel, they were suddenly delisted.
At the end of last year, it was reported on the Internet that Shenlong Automobile was expected to introduce the Opel brand, and Dongfeng Motor also responded positively.
During the period of 10, Opel suffered a lot. In 2009, Opel was acquired by GM for the first time, and contributed many platforms, technologies and models to GM. 20 15 was forced to withdraw from the China market due to GM's strategic transformation. Two years later, Opel, whose technology was squeezed dry, was dumped by General Motors to PSA Group.
Opel's return to China this time is expected to bring two new cars. Recently, the drip truck APP obtained the patent drawings of two Opel models through relevant channels, namely Opel Corsa and Opel GrandLand? x？ . The patent drawings of the two models are similar to those of overseas versions, with a strong Buick style as a whole.
Opel Corsa positioning small hatchback, very stylish and compact.
In front of the car, the upper air intake grille is honeycomb, and the radar area is reserved in the lower middle net, which also indicates that there will be a relatively high configuration in assisting driving.
On the side of the car body, the lines are dynamic and smooth, and the back door is small, so the rear space will occupy a large part of the trunk space. As can be seen from the patent drawing, the roof uses an exposed antenna.
In the rear part, the roof spoiler has a large area, distinctive shape and full tension.
The interior part is also heavy Buick style, and the red decorative strips and silver decorative plates have strong visual impact, which meets the tastes of young people. It is expected to be equipped with the same 1.2T engine as the overseas version after domestic production.
Opel Grand? X-positioning compact SUV, the appearance is somewhat similar to that of domestic Angola GX, and the overall line is slightly stronger than Opel Corsa.
The design of the front face and tail is similar to that of Opel Corsa, both of which are the latest design languages.
The sharp lines on the side of the car body highlight the hard-core atmosphere of the SUV, and also use the exposed antenna like Corsa.
You can see the shadow of Buick's embracing design on the interior. The atmosphere is simple and the overall style has not yet left the American system.
Overseas models are on the same platform as peugeot 3008 (European version) and are expected to enjoy the same powertrain as domestic Peugeot 4008***.
It is reported that PSA Group is not optimistic about the current opportunities, and it is expected to inspect for a period of time before putting these two cars on the market when the time is ripe.
Water drop point of view:
If you want to succeed in the China market, you should refer to the German Super One and the Japanese Top Three, and either lengthen it, save fuel or resist manufacturing. PSA Group not only attaches importance to the China market, but also doesn't want to make too many changes. It still doesn't realize the importance of this cake in China market. At present, Opel models are also adjusting to the design language of Peugeot and Citroen under PSA Group. Referring to the latter two, which have been depressed in the China market, the machines equipped with Buick Shell's Opel and Peugeot Citroen may not be able to achieve good sales.
For the audience in the field of small cars and compact SUVs, it is because there are fewer talents and less money, and the fishing rods are hanging down, but how many people can take the bait?
