Earlier, according to Forbes official website, if the epidemic situation intensifies, the Geneva Motor Show scheduled to open on March 5th may be cancelled. Recently, however, the official rumors have come out. The Geneva Motor Show will still be held as scheduled on March 2 (local time), and the dining area, toilets and handrails will be specially cleaned and disinfected.
As one of the main battlefields of European car companies, the Geneva Motor Show has brought brand-new heavy models by BBA. Moreover, UNI-T, the new masterpiece of China brand Changan, will also make its debut at this Geneva Motor Show.
changan UNI-T
recently, changan automobile officially announced the Chinese name of its new masterpiece UNI series-gravity. As the first model of gravity series, Changan UNI-T will be officially launched at this Geneva Motor Show.
At present, Changan UNI-T only has the official map and declaration information published. According to the existing information, the appearance design of the new car is very eye-catching. Borderless air intake grille and S-shaped split headlight group are full of sports atmosphere, which is easy to be associated with McLaren. The body with a length, width and height of 4515/1871/1565mm is very dynamic through the design of slightly slipping back. In addition, the new car will also provide 225/61? R17、225/55? R19、245/45? There are three versions of R21 wheels to choose from.
according to the application information, changan UNI-T will be equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 181 HP, and according to the official disclosure, a version of 2.1T blue whale power engine may be provided in the future. From all kinds of information, the new car will be positioned in a compact coupe SUV.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
At this Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz will bring a new generation of E-Class cars. The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class will adopt a dual appearance strategy, which is still divided into a normal version and a sports version. Among them, the sports version has a larger LOGO on the air intake grille, and the front of the car is flatter. Of course, in terms of appearance, the biggest highlight of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the redesign of the front and rear light groups, which looks brand-new as a whole.
in terms of interior configuration, the new car will be equipped with a dual-screen design as standard, with a screen size of 11.25 inches, and equipped with an MBUX car multimedia system that supports voice control. In terms of power, Mercedes-Benz officials said that the new car will be equipped with the code name M? 254, and equipped with a 48V micro-mixing system, the maximum power of the engine is 272 horsepower, and the micro-mixing system can provide an additional 2.1T horsepower at work. The new car will also be equipped with the code name m? 256' s 3.1T inline six-cylinder engine +48V micro-mixing system, the maximum power of the engine is 367HP, compared with the current GLE? 451 models have the same power equipment.
It may take some time for the belated introduction of Mercedes-Benz E-Class into China. At that time, the Audi A6L, which is now in the limelight in China, will face a great impact. And the addition of PHEV models in the future will also directly compete with BMW Brilliance 5 Series plug-in hybrid models.
Audi A3
Audi will bring a new generation of Audi A3 at this Geneva Motor Show. For this generation of models, Audi officially said that its core keyword is "Pure? emotion”。 Judging from the current information, it is likely to become the most athletic generation.
The overall design of the new generation Audi A3 is consistent with the design style of the latest Audi models such as the new Q3, and the overall lines are more rigid than the current ones. In response, the interior design also uses a large number of angular polygon elements.
In terms of performance, the new generation A3 has added adaptive damping variable suspension technology, progressive steering technology and quattro? Drive timely four-wheel drive technology and upgrade driving mode and ESC mode, and it is expected that light and hybrid models will be added.
BMW 4 Series
Finally, let's talk about the new car that can refresh the three views at this Geneva Motor Show-the new BMW 4 Series. I don't know whether it's for the sake of getting rid of the 3 Series completely, or for other reasons, the designers of the new generation BMW 4 Series have directly pulled the bigger and bigger "double kidneys" to the maximum, which is basically the same as the concept car exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2119.
Great, the "double kidneys" have become "double lungs", but it also follows the inherent function of the air grille and fits better ... But in terms of configuration, as the younger brother of the 8-series, the new BMW 4-series headlights have the same style as the 8-series headlights, and the taillights have also added more polyline designs.
as for power, there is no specific information at present. However, it is conservatively estimated that BMW's urine is consistent with BMW 3 Series, which means that it will be equipped with a variety of gasoline/diesel engines including 2.1T inline four-cylinder and 3.1T inline six-cylinder.
