At the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, FAW Pentium released two brand-new car-making platforms, namely FMA and FME. Among them, FMA platform has two power layouts: fuel vehicle and plug-in hybrid, while FME belongs to the exclusive platform of new energy, and will focus on creating pure electric and extended-range energy forms. The dual-platform strategy will cover all market segments such as cars, SUVs and even MPVs. In addition, the Pentium booth also displayed the independent research and development results of new energy core technologies such as armored battery and three-in-one electric drive platform, which indicates that FAW Pentium will fully enter the new energy era in the future.
★ FAW Pentium M9
During this auto show, FAW Pentium M9 was officially launched, and two new cars were on sale, with the price range of 229,800 ~ 249,800 yuan. According to the official, at the same time, car purchase will now enjoy four major benefits, including zero interest rate for two years and financial benefits of up to 654.38+0 million yuan. Buying a car can enjoy the replacement subsidy 10000 yuan worry-free gift; Then send a gift package worth 2999 yuan, as well as a lifetime warranty for the whole vehicle, five years of free engine oil, 100 kilometers of free rescue, two years of tire warranty, free basic flow and so on. Isn't it pretty awesome?
In terms of styling, the new car adopts a brand-new family-style design language of FAW Pentium, with a super-large middle net with horizontal decorative strips and a three-stage air inlet under long and narrow headlights, which greatly improves the recognition. The tail adopts the popular through taillights, and is decorated with chrome, and the spoiler at the top also increases its sports attributes. In the booth of FAW Pentium, in addition to displaying a top model, there is also a modified version of M9, which has various expandable internal spaces, combined beds, water bars and so on, which is more in line with IKEA's multiple uses.
The atmosphere inside the car is also full of humanized design. For example, the integration of electric side sliding door and electric tailgate improves the overall force, and common configurations such as reversing images and induction wipers are also standard in all departments. FAW Pentium M9 is positioned as a medium and large MPV. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5280/2005/ 1945 mm and the wheelbase is 3200 mm, which belongs to the upper-middle level in the same class.
The new car adopts 2+2+3 seat layout, and all three rows of leather wrapped seats are standard in the whole system. The high-profile models are also equipped with electric adjustment, heating, massage and other rich comfortable configurations for the two rows of seats, and are equipped with the largest panoramic canopy of the same class. The trunk volume can be expanded to 65,438+0,675 liters at most. Power will be equipped with 2.0T+48V light mixing system, which is matched with 8AT gearbox. As the first light hybrid vehicle of Pentium, it saves about 65,438+00% fuel and 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers.
In view of the realistic problems such as the high price of joint venture brands and the few optional models of independent brands in the domestic MPV market, the main competitors of Pentium M9 are locked into mainstream medium and large MPVs such as Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi M8 and Tengshi D9. Although facing strong competitors, the prospect of Pentium M9 is still worth looking forward to with its good space advantage and higher cost performance. If the hybrid version can be launched later, it may be more helpful to increase sales.
★ FAW Pentium T90
At the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, FAW Pentium also officially released the Pentium T90. The new car is based on the new A2 platform under the infinite equation FMA framework, positioning a compact SUV, and is expected to be officially launched in June. In terms of styling, the new car adopts the avant-garde "borderless grille" style, which is very scientific and technological with the penetrating headlights pioneered by Pentium. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4718/1880/1710 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2772 mm, so the tail design is more mature and stable, and the exhaust layout of both sides is full of sports.
The interior style still adopts the latest design language of Pentium. 12.6-inch large screen +9.6-inch HUD head-up display +8-inch full LCD dashboard realizes three-screen interaction, and the sense of technology and fashion is perfectly integrated. It is worth mentioning that the new car has L2.5 driver assistance level, including 23 smart sensors and 24 smart driver assistance functions. In terms of power, FAW Pentium T90 provides 1.5T and 2.0T engines, and the transmission system comes from 7-speed dual clutch or Aisin 8AT gearbox. According to the official understanding, the new car is Pentium's first dual-energy layout model. In addition to the early fuel version, a plug-in hybrid version will be introduced.
★ FAW Pentium pony
As the first Chinese-named model of FAW Pentium, Pentium Pony directly aimed at the market segment of mini pure electric vehicles. According to the positioning and modeling, it is not difficult to find that the main competitor of the new car will be locked into Wuling Hong Guang MINI EV. At this auto show, Pentium Pony not only brought joint models and optional models, but also a convertible version. The new car will give full play to its lovely personality and lovely pets. More information has not been disclosed. I hope it can bring us some surprises in cruising range and price.
Summary of "luxury car attack": Except for the above-mentioned new cars, all models of FAW Pentium booth participated in the exhibition, including Pentium B70, Pentium T55, Pentium T77 and new energy vehicle Pentium NAT. New technologies such as armored battery, three-in-one electric drive display screen and FMA/FME platform display screen also indicate that FAW Pentium will also enter the new energy field in the future.
