● Domestic spy photos: Haval F6

Home of the car

  Before the name was exposed, this car was mistaken for the brand-new Haval H6, but with the appearance of the real brand-new Haval H6 at the Guangzhou Auto Show, this speculation was also broken. The spy photos of this exposure show the interior detail design of Haval F6. However, in view of the fact that Haval F2 was named Haval H2s after its official release, we do not rule out the possibility that Haval F6 will adopt other names in the future. In this article, we continue to use its name when reporting: Haval F6.

"Haval F6 appearance: red standard version (silver car) and blue standard version (white car)"

  Haval F6 car series is divided into two versions: red standard and blue standard, each of which has different front and rear designs. From the modeling point of view, the Haval F6 is very similar to an enlarged version of Haval H2s, and the design languages of the two cars are basically the same.

  In terms of interior, the new car adopts the center console design with rich horizontal lines, and the air-conditioning outlets running through the left and right are composed of horizontal strips, which are avant-garde. The new car is equipped with a multi-function steering wheel, a large central control screen, a one-button start, an electronic handbrake and an electronic gear lever, while the rear of the gear lever is also equipped with a multimedia control area and driving mode selection. In addition, the new car is also suspected to be equipped with an LCD instrument panel and an air conditioning outlet in the back row.

  In terms of power, according to the previous application information, both the red standard and blue standard Haval F6 models provide a 2.0T gasoline engine with a maximum power of 197 HP, and the transmission system is matched with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In addition, the blue standard model also offers a 2.0T diesel engine with a maximum power of 163 HP.

  Editor’s comment:In the past November, the sales volume of Haval H6 reached 70,300 vehicles, which once again set a new record for the monthly sales of domestic SUVs, and at the same time showed consumers’ recognition of this compact SUV. As another compact SUV of Haval brand, the interior design of Haval F6 has a more sense of design than the current H6. At the same time, its electronic gear handle and full LCD instrument are the trend-setting configurations at the same level. In addition, the 2.0T engine is more beautiful in power parameters than its competitors at the same level, which shows that this car has good strength.

  At present, Haval has owned two models, H6 and H6 Coupe, in the compact SUV market. The launch of Haval F6 means that Haval has further deepened the "treasure land" of the compact SUV market: first, it captured different market segments through three different models, namely H6, F6 and H6 Coupe, and then attracted different people through their respective red/blue standard versions, and each version further expanded the range of choices for consumers according to different power and configuration. In this way, through the "three-level division", it has greatly expanded its influence in the compact SUV market and maximized its own advantages. Of course, all this is a strategic layout. In the future, the final pricing and configuration of this car will affect its final sales. Let’s look forward to it together.


● Domestic spy photos: Beijing BJ80 Sports Edition

Home of the car

  Beijing BJ80 is a medium and large hard-core off-road vehicle launched by BAIC in April this year. Because of its high similarity with Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the controversy about its appearance has never stopped. The Beijing BJ80 Sports Edition exposed this time is similar to Mercedes-Benz G-class AMG in some details. It is reported that the new car is expected to be officially listed in 2017.

Home of the car

  In terms of appearance, BJ80 Sport Edition basically continues the design style of the ordinary version, and the biggest change occurs in the front part. The air inlet shape protruding upward is added in the middle of the engine compartment cover of the new car, which is more sporty. The new car exposed this time also adopts a new style of front bumper. If you look closely, you will find that the square air inlet shape of this front bumper makes it very similar to Mercedes-Benz G-class AMG. At the same time, the rear bumper at the rear of the car is consistent with the style of the front bumper.

Home of the car

  In terms of power, the BJ80 sports version will continue to use the 2.3T turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 250 HP and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. In the four-wheel drive system, BJ80 adopts the electronically controlled part-time 4wd system provided by Borg Warner, and its low-speed four-wheel drive gear can amplify the torque by 2.48 times. In addition, the front and rear axles of the new car adopt an open differential, so the four wheels can only rely on the body stability system to provide electronic slip limit.

  Editor’s comment:Beijing BJ80 Ordinary Edition and Mercedes-Benz G-Class are very similar in appearance design, which also makes this car controversial. Judging from the current information, the changes in the sports version of BJ80 are mainly in appearance, while the power system is consistent with the ordinary version. If BJ80 is an imitation of Mercedes-Benz G-Class, then BJ80 Sports Edition’s imitation of G 63/65 can only be "imitating the standard but not the copy". Generally speaking, BJ80 Sports Edition only provides consumers with more appearance choices.

  Although controversial, BJ80′ s performance in some places is also worthy of recognition, such as pure non-loaded body, qualified four-wheel drive system, ample interior space, exquisite workmanship and good configuration, which is still cost-effective for the price of less than 300,000 yuan.


● Domestic spy photos: BYD M5

Home of the car

  BYD M5 is positioned as a home MPV. We can understand that this car is a powerful work of BYD’s impact on the MPV market. In our comment area, many netizens expressed their expectation for BYD M5. It is expected that this car will be officially released at the Shanghai Auto Show, which opened in April 2017, and will be officially launched in the middle of the year.

  Judging from the spy photos exposed, the overall shape of BYD M5 looks smoother. At the same time, as a home-oriented MPV model, its second row does not adopt sliding door design. In addition, the headlight group of the new car is expected to adopt strip design, and the shape of the front air intake grille is somewhat similar to that of Qin, which is on sale.

Home of the car

  The rear of the new car is equipped with a roof spoiler. According to the information provided by domestic media, the body size of BYD M5 is 4680/1800/1655mm and the wheelbase is 2780mm. Power will provide pure electric, hybrid and traditional gasoline engine (1.5T) models.

  Editor’s comment:BYD has always lacked a powerful model in the MPV market. BYD M6 has been launched for more than six years, and its product strength has declined. In November, its sales volume was only 55. BYD e6 locates a new energy vehicle, and its innate reasons determine that it will not make a big breakthrough in sales. And look at models such as Baojun 730, which have achieved great success in the market. In the face of the increasingly hot home MPV market, BYD will naturally not sit idly by.

  The launch of BYD M5 will take on the important task of grabbing the MPV market. Judging from the previous comments of netizens on this car, everyone’s expectations for it are still quite high. In addition, rich power will be the highlight of this car. After the launch of the pure electric version, it will further seize the cake in the new energy market with e6. There is no doubt that BYD M5 will become a breakthrough for BYD in MPV market.

● Domestic spy photos: FAW-Volkswagen’s new golf GTI

Home of the car

  GTI has always been synonymous with small steel guns in China. At present, the seventh-generation golf GTI model sold in China was launched in November 2015. Recently, we obtained the latest spy photos of its mid-term redesigned models, and the new car was upgraded in appearance and interior. We expect the car to be put on the market soon.

  The appearance of the new golf GTI basically continues the design style of the current model, but the LED daytime running lights in the headlight group have been redesigned. At the same time, the unique shape of the 5-spoke rim and the exhaust layout of both sides also add to the sporty atmosphere of the car.

  In terms of interior, the center console of the new car is suspected to be equipped with a brand-new multimedia system, but the air conditioning control area is exactly the same as the current model. It is worth noting that the car also uses a full LCD instrument panel, which greatly enhances its sense of technology.

  We guess that the new car will continue to use the 2.0T engine code-named EA888, which may improve the power adjustment. It is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox code-named DQ380.

  Editor’s comment:In the first 11 months of 2016, the sales volume of FAW-Volkswagen Golf GTI was 2,073 vehicles. Although the overall sales volume of golf was 177,205 vehicles, this achievement was only nine Niu Yi cents, but for a small steel gun, this sales volume is still worthy of recognition. Golf GTI can represent a feeling, a belief, a feeling or a belief in China! We can’t deny that the GTI golf models of past dynasties are deeply loved by fans all over the world, which is probably beyond the reach of its competitors.

  Although the performance of golf GTI is not the strongest compared with its competitors, and the driving pleasure is not the purest, it is precisely because it can pick up children from work and occasionally go to the track, so that this car can meet the needs of more people. The new model adds LED daytime running lights, full LCD instrument panel and brand-new multimedia system, which makes this car more practical and competitive. There is no doubt that competitors such as Fox ST will be under increasing pressure.


● Domestic spy photos: Beijing Benz E 180 L

Home of the car

  The attention of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been increasing since it was launched. Recently, we reported the undisguised real car map of Beijing Mercedes-Benz E 180 L. This car will become the entry-level model of the new domestic E-Class after its launch in the future, and its price will be further explored than the current E 200 L model.

Home of the car

Home of the car

  In terms of appearance, the Mercedes-Benz E 180 L exposed this time is basically the same as the new domestic E-class that has already been listed, but it is different only in the tail logo. The "E 180 L" tail mark indicates the identity of its entry-level model. The new car adopts a new model of multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and the LED headlights and taillights are preserved.

Home of the car

  The interior of Mercedes-Benz E 180 L also continues the design of the new E-class. The wooden decorative board running through the instrument panel and the leather seat with leg adjustment in the front row are not absent, but it is not equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel that highlights the sense of technology. Instead, it is the same as the standard axis version that was listed before, using the traditional mechanical pointer instrument panel.

  In terms of power, the E 180 L is equipped with a 1.6T engine with a maximum power of 156 HP. It is expected to match the engine with a 7-speed automatic manual transmission.

  Editor’s comment:When some consumers reluctantly accept that luxury brands’ medium and large cars are powered by 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engines, Mercedes-Benz E-Class equipped with 1.6T engines will appear in front of us. If it is difficult for the above consumers to accept the 2.0T engine, then the acceptance of the 1.6T engine may be even lower. With the "shrinking" of engine power, the gear number of automatic gearbox equipped with E 180 L has also changed from 9-speed to 7-speed. At the same time, the "widely acclaimed" 12.3-inch full LCD instrument in the car has also been replaced by the traditional mechanical instrument. But we can’t deny that the price of this car will also drop, and the lower threshold will enable it to face more consumers, which may become a new growth point of E-class.

  In the coming year of 2017, the old rival of domestic Mercedes-Benz E-Class-BMW 5 Series long-axis version will also be completely replaced, while new rivals such as Volvo S90 long-axis version and Jaguar XFL are also eyeing the market of luxury brands. Moreover, from the price point of view, the entry prices of these two cars are all within 400,000. In the future, Mercedes-Benz E 180 L will stand at the same starting line as the entry-level models of these cars. At present, Mercedes-Benz E 180 L has certain advantages in brand and reputation, but the disadvantages in power are obvious, and how it will perform in other aspects such as configuration, let’s look forward to it.


● Domestic spy photos: Beijing Benz GLC plug-in hybrid version

Home of the car

  Recently, we obtained spy photos of the domestic Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 e plug-in hybrid model. As a plug-in hybrid model, the official fuel consumption of the new car is 2.6L per 100 kilometers, and it is expected to be released in 2017.

Home of the car

  In terms of the appearance of the new car, it is impossible to see more details because it is covered with heavy camouflage. However, we guess that the appearance of the new car will be the same as that of the ordinary GLC model, and it is worth mentioning that the charging port of the new car is located on the right side of the rear bumper, which is the same as that of the overseas version.

Home of the car

  The interior of the new car basically follows the design of the traditional fuel version, and is also equipped with leather seats, electric adjustment of the co-pilot, seat heating and other functions. The multimedia system still uses Mercedes me interconnection system, which can provide real-time road information and vehicle positioning services for the owner.

  It is reported that the power system of the new car consists of a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 208 HP and a motor with a maximum power of 114 HP, and its comprehensive maximum power is 320 HP. In terms of transmission, it is matched with a 7-speed automatic gearbox. The new car has a cruising range of 34km in pure electric mode, and the minimum comprehensive fuel consumption is only 2.6L/100km.

  Editor’s comment:Mercedes-Benz GLC plug-in hybrid model combines power and fuel economy, which is very attractive. However, the comprehensive power output of this car has surpassed that of GLC 300 model, which also determines its expensive price in the future. According to the editor’s guess, its future price may be similar to that of CLC 300 luxury model with a guide price of 579,000 yuan, or even higher.

  At present, there is no plug-in hybrid model for luxury brand medium-sized SUV sold in China, so it may be the main significance of the launch of this car to take the lead in occupying the market and provide consumers with more choices. In the future, a new generation of BMW X3 and other models are expected to launch plug-in hybrid versions after they are made in China, when the struggle in this market segment has just begun.

● Overseas spy photos: a new generation of BMW 3 Series

Home of the car

  The new BMW 3 Series will be produced based on the new CLAR platform built by BMW. It is expected that the new 3 Series may be made of a large number of lightweight materials such as aluminum, high-strength steel and even carbon fiber on this platform to further reduce the weight of the car body. It is reported that the car is expected to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2018.

  Through the road test spy photos of the new car, we can see that the new generation BMW 3 Series equipped with M sports kit is more sporty, and the vents on both sides of the front bumper also make the new car look more aggressive. At the rear of the new car, the most obvious change is to add a larger chrome-plated exhaust tailpipe to the original two-way exhaust. This design is believed to make many consumers who are concerned about the new 3 Series breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the previous exhaust tailpipe design is a bit "low-key".

Home of the car

  In the interior part, the current BMW 3 Series is the most talked about interior design, which has not changed much in the new car. In terms of details, the new 3 Series is expected to use a brand-new dashboard, and a full LCD dashboard may also appear in this car. This design also follows the new 5 Series.

  In terms of power, the new car may provide the same 1.5T three-cylinder, 2.0T four-cylinder and 3.0T six-cylinder turbocharged engines and diesel engines as the current models.

  Editor’s comment:On the surface, the outline and powertrain of the new generation BMW 3 Series are not much different from the current models, and will not give people too many surprises. However, as a model based on BMW’s latest CLAR platform, the new car will use more aluminum materials, which is expected to bring better fuel economy while improving handling, which is more in line with the development trend of new cars in the future.

  In the first 11 months of this year, the sales volume of domestic BMW 3 Series reached 87,014, which failed to catch up with the old rivals Audi A4L and mercedes benz c. The new BMW 3 Series is expected to be equipped with a more intelligent human-computer interaction system while the mechanical part is upgraded. These changes are the capital to challenge the old rivals, but this is after 2018. In the coming year of 2017, what will be the sales volume of the current BMW 3 Series? We will continue to pay attention to whether we can lay a good foundation for the hot sale of the new generation BMW 3 Series.


● Overseas spy photos: a new generation of Volvo XC60

Home of the car

  The first-generation Volvo XC60 currently on sale was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008, and it has passed its life cycle of more than 8 years. Recently, overseas media exposed a group of test spy photos of Volvo XC60. The new car adopts the latest SPA platform, or will be officially unveiled in the second half of next year.

Home of the car

  Although the new generation XC60 is covered with heavy camouflage, we can still see that the front face of the new car adopts highly recognizable "Raytheon Hammer" LED headlights and larger front air intake grille, and the overall design style draws lessons from the design of the new generation XC90. In the rear part, the iconic vertical taillights of the Volvo family also appeared on the new car.

Home of the car

  As for the interior part, the large-size multimedia display screen, strip air conditioning outlet and other modeling elements adopted by the new generation XC90 will be continued on the new generation XC60. In terms of power, in addition to the 2.0T T5 engine, the new car may also provide a T6 engine for consumers to choose from.

  Editor’s comment:From today’s perspective, the appearance and interior of the current XC60 are indeed a little old-fashioned. In addition, under the great pressure from competitors such as Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5 and Cadillac XT5, XC60 has to use substantial terminal discounts to maintain sales (according to our car home owner’s price, 2017 models generally have a discount of 80,000 yuan in all regions of the country), but even under the premise of substantial discounts, the sales volume of this car is only 352,500 yuan from January to November this year.

  The appearance of the new generation XC60 adopts Volvo’s latest family gene, and its interior is expected to use Nordic style design elements like XC90/S90, giving people a brand-new feeling. In the future, Volvo’s next-generation XC60 will be introduced into China, and by then, the new-generation Audi Q5 and the new-generation BMW X3 may also be sold in China. In the face of these powerful competitors, we will continue to pay attention to whether the new generation XC60 can surprise us in product strength, so as to make up for the lack of brand awareness and shorten the sales gap with Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5 and other "devil-class models". 


● Overseas spy photos: the new Mercedes -AMG E 63 Travel Edition

Home of the car

  This year in Los Angeles, Mercedes -AMG released a new generation of AMG E 63 sedan models. Recently, foreign media reported a set of test spy photos of the brand-new AMG E 63 Travel Edition. Compared with the sedan version, the car will have more abundant interior space.

Home of the car

  From the spy photos, the body of the new car follows the design style of the ordinary E-class travel version, but as an AMG brand model, the front grille of the car adopts a thick single banner design, and at the same time, it is suspected that there is a thin vertical banner behind the banner. In addition, in order to meet the higher heat dissipation requirements of the power system, the air inlets on both sides of the front bumper are further enlarged.

Home of the car

  In terms of power, the new AMG E 63 Travel Edition or the 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine with the same model on the sedan version, the low-power version of this engine has a maximum output of 571 HP and a peak torque of 750 Nm; The high-power version has a maximum output of 612 HP and a peak torque of 850 Nm, and matches the latest 9-speed automatic transmission. In addition, the car will be equipped with a 4MATIC four-wheel drive system.

  Editor’s comment:The new E-Class Travel Edition is an elegant and practical station wagon. As an emphasis on performance, AMG E 63 Travel Edition incorporates fierce and violent elements. Compared with the previously equipped 5.5T twin-turbo engine, the new car or refitted 4.0T twin-turbo engine has a lower displacement, but its power has improved.

  Audi RS 6, also a performance station wagon, has always been the representative of "eating pigs and playing tigers", which is why the car is sought after by countless fans all over the world. The performance of the new AMG E 63 Travel Edition is more powerful, and its acceleration ability is expected to surpass the Audi RS 6, which is 3.9 seconds. However, it is worth looking forward to whether the new car can be introduced into domestic sales in the future.

  Full text summary:In this issue of Bourne ultimatum, there are many models introduced to you. I don’t know which one you are most looking forward to among these nine models. Are they "domestic products"-Haval F6, BYD M5 and Beijing BJ80 Sports Edition? Or a luxury brand heavy car-Beijing Benz E 180 L, Beijing Benz GLC plug-in hybrid version, BMW 3 Series, new Volvo XC60? Or is it the domestic new GTI and AMG E 63 travel edition that performance control loves? No matter which model you like, we hope you get the new car information you need from the article.

  In the future, we will continue to provide you with hot spy photos of new cars at home and abroad, so that you can enjoy the fun of "early tasting" and choose new small targets for yourself. At the same time, we also hope that netizens will continue to send the spy photos of new cars to the "spy" mailbox: diezhao@autohome.com.cn. Once adopted, there will be exquisite gifts. Dear netizens, we will meet again next year in 2017! (Text/car home Li Changning)
