I've recently been trusted by a lot of old people in the back office, asking if this new lion platinum is worth waiting. The new car is officially ready for sale on march 5th, and this is not an annual small change, but a full upgrade. Let's drive the car today。
Let's start with the current social environment. To be honest, we've been covering our wallets for two years, and it's becoming more rational to buy cars. There were fewer cases of “buying a label” or “buying an impulse for design”, and there was much more to be said about whether the car could actually serve the family, or not, without moths for the next five or six years. Against the backdrop of this downgrading of consumption but not demand, a balanced, durable, unshrunk, co-financing suv has become a “shelter” for many. The timing of kia's new push is good。
In terms of vehicle technology, the greatest highlight of this time in section 2026 is that the power of the 2. 0t engine has been squeezed to 180 kilowatts, converted to almost 245 horsepower, 7 kilowatts more than the cash. Don't underestimate the 7,000 watts. It's just a little air when it's overboard or when it's full of ramps. And it's a match for our familiar automatic transmission box, which has a high level of maturity, smoothness and resistance. Although there is a strong momentum for new sources of energy, a high-power pure fuel car remains the most viable option for those friends who have miles of anxiety or who do not have the means to charge a stake at home. The 1. 5t version also maintains 147 kilowatts of power, with full daily commuting and more friendly fuel consumption。
And talk about brands and user groups. Kia's strategy for these two years is very clear, and it's not fling, welding design senses and practicality. The design of the overseas version of spotage, which was marked by the star map, was directly replicated by the new lion plume, together with the x-line version of the fumigation suite, and the airfield that was driven out did not lose the 300,000-grade cars. The size was also fine-tuned, with the captain increasing by 25 mm to 4695 mm, with the axis remaining at 2755 mm. What is the concept of this axis? When the rear row is filled, the legs and horizontal spaces are absolutely the first in the same class, and this is hard currency for the scene of the popular chinese family “one car for more”。
This part of the interior, i think kia listened this time. It's a lot better to change the two-connected screen that was a little bit warp to a more organized rectangle screen. A new generation of ccnc systems has been set up, and although we do not expect it to play games like the new powers, fluidity and mobile phone connectivity will be fine. The most practical change was the sub-platform, which finally found a reasonable location for the wireless charge of a mobile phone. The area in front of the switch button was really not working well. Now it's okay to charge the phone once it's dropped, which is a great improvement in the happiness of the car。
In terms of industry trends, it is true that joint brands do not have the same day as before, and new energy and high-end domestic production are looting cakes. But it's also forcing old-fashioned travelers like kia to make their products stronger. You'll find that the new lion platinum didn't pile up the fancy "refrigerator's big electric sofas," but rather worked on the physical details that you can see, the sense of interior and the power response of the moment when you stepped on the gas door. This approach coincides with those who seek “mechanical qualities” and “long-term values”. They may not be the most vocal group on the internet, but they are definitely the most stable building block in the car consumer market。
Finally, the future. Pure electricity is indeed the direction, but fuel, mixing and pure electricity will be a state of long-term coexistence for a long time to come. It is in itself a pragmatic approach to the future by continuing to dive in the efficiency of fuel power, as in the case of the lion platinum, while at the same time filling up the experience of the smart cabin so that it can be used seamlessly。
However, despite good faith, the final pricing of this upgrade is the key to whether the king will bomb or the dud. There are no more advantages in the current price battle to the smoke-smoking market, at a price of 1,798,000 cash. If the sale price announced on march 5 gives a surprise, for example, if the primer goes down to 160,000 blocks, or 2. 0t runs the current price increase, it has the potential to become a black horse in this year’s compact joint venture suv. But if the price is too bad, it might be a shame to face the opponents of a whole bunch。
