For manufacturers, the research and development of small SUVs has been going on. After entering 2020, many brands have revealed the news of brand-new small SUVs, which are likely to be introduced into the China market in the future. Although small SUVs are not very popular in China market, they are quite suitable for some young consumers, especially female users, and are easier to drive. Today, the big coffee will take stock of the new small SUV that will be released soon, a surprise gift!
Jeep "Little Shepherd"
In China, only one Jeep Freeman is on sale, and its design is lovely, which is a bit of a shepherd's inheritance. However, its market performance is far less than when it was first launched, and its product strength is obviously insufficient among peers. The good news is that with the formal alliance between FCA and PSA, Jeep decided to launch a brand-new small SUV, and Freeman is likely to be replaced.
This brand-new small SUV will be built on the CMP modular platform under PSA Group. Under the same platform, there are Peugeot New Generation 2008 and Dongfeng Shen Feng Yi Xuan SUVs, which are also guaranteed in terms of machinery. In addition, Jeep has been committed to the development of new energy fields, so this new small SUV will also be designed into the basic structure of fuel version and pure electric version as required. It is predicted that its powertrain may follow the current 1.3T engine of Freeman and Guide, and at the same time, the plug-in version will add an electric motor, with a pure electric battery life of 50 kilometers, and the pure electric version is expected to last more than 400km kilometers.
Recently, we obtained a set of patent drawings of brand-new vehicles declared by FCA in China. It can be seen that the shape of the new car is a little cute and round, with a closed front grille instead of Jeep's classic vertical hole design, but we can see that there are several vertical holes in the upper right, which is estimated to pay tribute to Jeep's classic design. From the tail, the design information of the new car is limited, which is quite different from all Jeep models. Looking forward to seeing the real car soon.
Toyota's brand-new small SUV
Brand-new yaris
Not long ago, Toyota released a preview of its new small SUV model, but the model has not been officially named, only code-named "B-SUV". It is worth mentioning that this new Toyota car is built on the same TNGA-B platform as the new yaris launched at the 20 19 Tokyo Motor Show. It is predicted that it will be positioned below Toyota C-HR, and its competitors will lock in Nissan Juke and Renault Captur.
As can be seen from the preview, the design of the new C-HR is biased towards the young sports style, and it is judged that the hybrid version and the four-wheel drive version will be introduced, which is more abundant than the C-HR. In addition, it is said that this brand-new Toyota small SUV will be officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, which opened on March 3. It is predicted that its power system will adopt the same 1.5L hybrid as yaris, and in addition, it will provide 1.5L self-priming vehicles for consumers to choose from. If this new car can be introduced into the China market, the starting price must be below 6,543,800 yuan, which is quite worth looking forward to.
Nissan brand-new small SUV
Coincidentally, Nissan, which is also a Japanese brand, also announced a preview of a new small SUV model in early February. It is said that this new car is positioned lower than Nissan Jinke and will be listed in the Indian market first in the third quarter of 2020. This brand-new small SUV is based on the small car platform CMF, and the body length is estimated to be no more than 4 meters.
Nissan Jinke
As can be seen from the preview, this new car will also focus on young sports style. The design of suspended roof is somewhat similar to that of Jinke, and the angle of C-pillar also drops rapidly. If equipped with a higher power engine, it can be called a small steel gun SUV. However, it is reported that this new Nissan small SUV will only be equipped with 1.0T engine, which has been installed on a new generation of Juke and other models, and the maximum power is only 1 18 horsepower, which only meets ordinary traffic needs. Therefore, it can be predicted that its starting price is not high, so it is no wonder that it will be put into the Indian market first. Cheap cars can really meet the local demand for car purchase, but the probability of introducing them into the China market is obviously small.
Ford's brand-new small SUV
In recent years, Ford brand new cars continue, and existing models are constantly modified or replaced, which has brought good results to the overall sales. However, Ford obviously didn't stop there. Recently, a brand-new small SUV named Puma was exposed overseas. ST, it is said that the new car is equipped with 1.5T engine (three cylinders, 198 horsepower, 290 Nm), and the acceleration time of 0- 100km/h is 6.5 seconds. This is a small steel cannon SUV worthy of the name of "ST". At the same time, the new car will be launched this year, and young male users will definitely. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Ford Puma, a small SUV, has recently been included in the European car candidate list of the year, which is also the only SUV model on the list.
Appearance, compared with the normal version, Pmua? The sports design of ST is more radical, such as more complicated front grille design, black rearview mirror, prominent full LED headlights and aerodynamic lower bumper. And in the later part, Pmua? ST has a little charm of Megan. At the same time, in order to highlight the dynamic performance, the chassis was upgraded, and the body posture was very racetrack, but only the exhaust layout with two outlets on one side was adopted.
Common puma
It can be predicted that Ford Pmua, a small SUV, may be introduced into China market in the future, but unfortunately the ST version may not be introduced because of its high price. Of course, if you like small steel cannons, you can pay more attention to the next generation of golf and won't let people down.
Modern venues
Korean brands are not as strong as Japanese brands in China auto market, and they always take the low-cost route to attract consumers to buy, which greatly lowers the price threshold of joint venture brands. Recently, according to various sources, Hyundai plans to introduce a brand-new small SUV into China, positioning it lower than the current ix25, and the price will be the same as that of Kia Jockey, starting at 70,000 yuan. This is a modern meeting place.
Previously, the new Hyundai Venue has been listed in several overseas regions. The North American version uses 1.6L+CVT power combination, while other regions use 1.0T three-cylinder power and 1.4L four-cylinder power. Introducing China market is estimated to be 1.0T and 1.4L to lower the price threshold. Judging from the design of the new car, it conforms to the design of the current ix25, and adopts the split headlight design, but it is more acceptable in lighting style.
In terms of body size, the length of modern Venue is only 4 meters, the wheelbase is 2520mm according to the North American version, and the rear seat space is limited. In addition, the interior design is quite satisfactory, far less than our domestic brand cars. As for its future fate after it is introduced into China market, we will wait and see!
Big coffee summary
As a personal scooter, a small SUV is really suitable, with dexterous control and larger loading space than its peers. The key engine with low displacement also has advantages in fuel economy, so it is worth considering buying on the premise of low car price. Now many joint venture brands are making efforts in the field of small SUVs, which is not a good thing for our domestic brand SUVs. Models with poor product strength will gradually be eliminated and banned, but this is also a good thing. After all, consumers can be better protected against lightning.
