[car home Information] Hello, everyone. In a blink of an eye, the weekend has come again, and it’s time for our Bourne ultimatum. In this issue, there are many heavy new cars, including the brand-new C180L of Beijing Benz, the domestic Mazda CX-7 four-wheel drive version, and the new C50 of Great Wall. Overseas, BMW’s redesigned 3 Series will also enter this issue. If you want to know more models, let’s quickly enter this issue of Bourne ultimatum.
Friendly reminder:I hope enthusiastic netizens can photograph the spy photos of your new car and send them to our corresponding mailbox:diezhao@autohome.com.cnWe look forward to hearing from you and becoming one of our "spies".
◆China spy: Beijing brand-new Mercedes C180L
Recently, we obtained a group of photos of the new C180L car of Beijing Benz. Although the new car is covered with a white film, according to the overall outline and taillight style, the overall shape of the new domestic C-class is basically the same as that of the overseas version. It can be judged from the "C180L" logo at the rear of the car that this car has been lengthened.
In the interior part, the domestic new C-class interior also follows the design of overseas models. The new car adopts a three-spoke sports steering wheel, a barrel-type instrument panel and a design with a shield. A suspended LCD screen is equipped above the center console, and a clock is embedded in its center. In addition, Mercedes-Benz’s domestic new C-Class is also equipped with the latest COMAND system. Generally speaking, the overall texture of the new domestic C-class interior has improved significantly.
In terms of power, we expect that the domestic new generation C-Class will use the 1.6T and 2.0T engines that have been put into production and matched by Beijing Benz Engine Factory, and the new C180L model in spy photos is likely to be equipped with the 1.6T engine.
Editor’s note:Starting from Audi A4L, domestic medium-sized luxury cars have gradually embarked on the road of domestic lengthening, and now a new generation of mercedes benz c Class has finally joined the ranks of domestic lengthening. The wheelbase of the new generation C-Class Standard Edition has reached an unprecedented 2840mm, and it will probably exceed 2900mm after the domestic extension, and this data will surpass the rivals Audi A4L and Volvo S60L.
At present, the domestic C-class on sale was affected by pricing and space at the beginning of listing, which led to its sales volume being completely inferior to that of its competitors at the same level. In the future, with the finidi Q50 and Cadillac ATS being made in China, there will be more and more competitors. Whether the new generation C-class long-axis version can attract consumers by its luxurious interior and brand appeal depends on its listing price.

◆Domestic spy: domestic Mazda CX-7 four-wheel drive version
The domestic Mazda CX-7 four-wheel drive version exposed this time is equipped with five-spoke alloy wheels and two exhaust ports on both sides. The tail of the new car is marked with AWD, suggesting that this is a four-wheel drive version. In terms of configuration, we see that the model in the picture is equipped with seat heating and automatic air conditioning.
In terms of power, the domestic CX-7 will be equipped with 2.5L and 2.3T engines, of which the maximum power of the 2.5L engine is 163 HP and the maximum power of the 2.3T engine is 238 HP. It is expected that both 2.5L and 2.3T engines will have four-wheel drive models for consumers to choose from.
Editor’s note:Mazda CX-7 was once sold in China as an import, but there was only one model in the whole system, and it was a two-wheel drive version, so it failed to attract too much attention from consumers. The domestic CX-7 will be equipped with two engines and provide two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive as well as a variety of configuration options. In the future, the domestic CX-7 will compete with GAC Toyota Highlander and Beijing Hyundai Xinshengda for the medium-sized SUV market. Among them, Highlander became the sales champion of joint venture medium-sized SUV with the sales volume of 95,216 units last year, and Xinshengda also had a good sales volume of 74,437 units. CX-7 wants to grab more markets from two strong rivals, which is really difficult for editors.

◆Domestic spy: Dongfeng Nissan new car
Earlier, we reported that Dongfeng Nissan will build a new model with a class of 50,000 yuan. Recently, spy photos of this new car were exposed on the Internet, and this car will be launched at this year’s Beijing Auto Show.
Judging from the spy photos of the test car, the new car has adopted strict camouflage, and we can’t see too many details of the new car yet. However, according to the latest environmental protection catalogue information, this new car may belong to the Qichen brand, so we guess that the new car will be the production version of the ViWa concept car.
In terms of power, according to the application information, the new car will be equipped with a 1.2L HR12DE naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 79 HP and a maximum output torque of 106 N m. The transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Editor’s note:With the price of 50,000 yuan, Dongfeng Nissan, a brand-new model, will attract the attention of many consumers after its release. According to the existing information, we guess that the new car is likely to be classified as Qichen brand, but at present, Qichen brand has only compact products on sale, and the addition of this brand-new small car will expand the product layout. Judging from its positioning, the competitors the new car will face after listing include Changan Suzuki Alto, Le Chi and some small cars of its own brand.

◆Domestic spy: JAC Ruifeng A6
In recent years, domestic independent brands have gradually launched their own medium-sized cars. Recently, we have obtained a set of spy photos of Jianghuai brand-new medium-sized cars. The new car looks stable and atmospheric. It is reported that it will be named Ruifeng A6 and is expected to be officially released at the Beijing Auto Show.
From the spy photos, the new car adopts a large-size medium net air intake grille design, and the headlights are combined with the front face. On the tail side, JAC Ruifeng A6 is also equipped with taillights of LED light sources. In terms of power system, according to previous news, JAC Ruifeng A6 is expected to be equipped with 2.0L, 1.8T and 2.0T engines.
Editor’s note:Last year, Jianghuai released the dual-brand operation strategy of "Ruifeng+Heyue". According to this strategy, Ruifeng brand will mainly face the business and personalized market in the future, and provide consumers with serialized products including MPV, SUV and business car. Therefore, we speculate that JAC Ruifeng A6 will be positioned as a medium-sized car that focuses on business, and it will become a competitor with BYD Sirui, Changan Ruicheng and Emgrand EC9 that has not yet been released. In addition, JAC’s launch of this medium-sized car may not be to seize many markets, but to let consumers know the brand Ruifeng again, thus laying a good foundation for future products.

◆Domestic spy: FAW Pentium B30
The spy photos of Pentium B30 exposed this time are different from the previous test car in appearance. It is reported that this test car will be a sports version of FAW Pentium B30. In terms of appearance, the biggest change is concentrated in the front face, and the front grille trim is designed with three spokes. In addition, the new car is also equipped with more sporty double six-spoke wheels, and the tail also adopts a bilateral exhaust layout.
In terms of power, the Pentium B30 is expected to be equipped with a 1.3L or 1.6L engine, and the transmission is matched with a 5-speed manual gearbox or an automatic gearbox.
Editor’s note:Since 2011, Pentium announced that it will gradually expand its product line in the next three years. Now that Pentium B30 is exposed, we can see that Pentium has gradually completed the product line layout from small cars to medium-sized cars to SUV models. In the future, Pentium will also launch an MPV model that combines business and family, aiming to cover more market segments.

◆China spy: Great Wall new C50
From the spy photos, we can see that the new C50 of Great Wall has been partially modified in the front part. The new car adopts a new chrome-plated horizontal spoke air intake grille, and the bumper shape has also changed from the old one, and LED daytime running lights have been added.
In terms of interior, the new C50 of Great Wall exposed this time adopts all-black interior, and the seat is equipped with red stitching. The biggest highlight of this spy shot is that the car is equipped with an automatic gearbox. According to domestic media reports, this is a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and its provider is United Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. In terms of power, the new C50 will continue to use the 1.5T engine.
Editor’s note:The sales volume of Great Wall C50 has been tepid since its launch. The editor thinks that the reason may be that the powertrain of its model is relatively simple, and the new C50 has finally added an automatic transmission model, which will be an important bargaining chip for consumers to choose this product. As for the engine, it is reported that the new car will still be equipped with a 1.5T engine, which makes people feel a little sorry. I hope manufacturers can provide more engines in the future to meet the needs of different consumers.

◆Overseas spy: Mercedes-benz CLA45 AMG hunting edition
A few days ago, foreign media exposed a set of spy photos of Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake (hunting version), which is expected to be officially released at the end of 2014.
From the spy photos, we can see that the front face of the new car is basically the same as CLA45 AMG, and the front air intake grille adopts double spoke design. In the rear part, the new car adopts a hunting style similar to CLS Shooting Brake, and the rear shape is more dynamic. In addition, a total of four exhaust ports on both sides show its unique identity.
In terms of power, foreign media predict that the new car will be equipped with the same 2.0T turbocharged engine as CLA45 AMG, with a maximum power of 360 HP and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. In terms of transmission, the new car will be matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In addition, the car may also be equipped with a 4MATIC four-wheel drive system.
Editor’s note:In recent years, Mercedes-Benz AMG high-performance models are accelerating the expansion of product lines. After the launch of CLA45 AMG models, CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake will soon become a new member of AMG family. In the future, there will be B45 AMG and a new generation C63 with a brand-new 4.0T engine. Although the positioning and modeling of CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake are destined to belong to a small group of people, it does not rule out that Mercedes-Benz will introduce him to China in the future. Of course, if there are consumers who can’t wait to get him, they may wish to pay attention to the CLA45 AMG model that will be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show.

◆Overseas spy: BMW redesigned 3 series
A few days ago, foreign media exposed a group of road test spy photos of BMW’s redesigned 3 Series. Compared with the current models, the appearance of the new car has not been greatly adjusted, mainly for the front bumper and the air intake grille of the China Net. It is reported that the BMW redesigned 3 Series will be equipped with optional LED headlights.
In terms of power, the new car will continue to use most of the current powertrains. In addition to the 2.0T or 3.0T engines, the original 1.6T engine is expected to be replaced by the 1.5T engine on the new MINI.
Editor’s note:After the release of Mercedes-Benz’s new generation C-Class, in the face of pressure from rivals, BMW has finally made some moves. Although the appearance of the modified 3 Series has not changed much, BMW may make great efforts in the interior and power of the new car. With the popularity of small displacement engines, the three-cylinder 1.5T turbocharged engine from the new MINI COOPER will probably be installed on the modified 3 Series and replace the existing four-cylinder 1.6T engine. In the future, the new BMW 5 Series will also be equipped with this engine, but BMW may provide various engine adjustment methods according to different models to meet the needs of different people.

Recently, foreign media exposed the spy photos of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport RS. The front and rear bumpers of the test car are all newly designed. The new car is also equipped with black multi-spoke large-size alloy wheels, which cooperate with the layout of four exhaust pipes on both sides to make it look more sporty.
In terms of power, according to foreign media reports, this car will be equipped with a 5.0L V8 supercharged engine with a maximum power of 550 HP and a maximum torque of 680 N m. It is estimated that its 0-100km/h acceleration can be completed within 5 seconds.
Editor’s note:In our evaluation article, the brand-new Range Rover Sport Edition, with its new platform, all-aluminum body and new power, makes our editor’s evaluation of him: it has changed completely. However, in recent years, high-performance SUV models have gradually become a new market for luxury car manufacturers to compete with each other, and Land Rover, an SUV professional, is not far behind, and decided to improve the performance of the new Range Rover Sport Edition again. In the future, the new Range Rover Sport RS will compete with BMW X5 M, Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG and Cayenne Turbo S. With the previous tests of our Range Rover Sport, we have reason to believe that the new car will perform better.

● Summary:
In this issue of Bourne ultimatum, new cars cover from independent to imported, from small cars to medium-sized cars, from medium-sized SUVs to high-performance SUVs. In these models, we can’t help but find that global car companies pay more and more attention to market segments, from Mercedes-Benz C180L to Pentium B30 Sport Edition to Range Rover Sport Edition RS. They are all new products launched by car companies in the face of market segments, which is very good news for our consumers, because there will be more consumers in the future.
