In terms of appearance, compared with the previous generation, the front of the new Audi A3 is lower, and the second half of the hatchback also has a slightly "sitting down" posture. The relatively straight waistline extends from the headlights to the taillights, and the fender design protruding outward is adopted below the waistline. At the same time, the designer uses two characteristic lines to further shape the strength sense of the front and rear wheel arches, and the shape and surface characteristics of the lower half of the door panel also echo the overall design.

On the tail side, the new A3 adopts a long and narrow taillight group with a trapezoidal license plate area, which highlights the overall layering of the new car. At the same time, the exhaust layout of the two sides makes the new car look more dynamic and fashionable. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the standard axle version of the hatchback are 4343 (4351 mm for different packages)/1815/1458 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2630 mm. For the sedan long-axis version, the length, width and height are 4548(4554)/1814/1429mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2680mm, which is 51mm longer than that of the old models.

In terms of interior, the new car will be equipped with a 10.1-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel. The cruise control button behind the steering wheel is very obvious, and the new car will be equipped with a fabric main driver’s seat with retractable leg rest.
In terms of power, the new domestic Audi A3, which rolled off the production line in advance, will continue to be equipped with a 1.4TSI engine with a maximum power of 150 HP and a peak torque of 250 Nm, matching the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox (it is expected that a 2.0TSI engine will be added to the product array in the future).
Editor’s comment:
In the luxury brand compact car camp, Audi A3 has always been a hot spot. It looks good and drives well, and the actual market price is not expensive. It is really attractive. According to the existing news, the hatchback and sedan models have been localized for the first time after the new generation of domestic production. The sedan version, which is more practical, lengthens the wheelbase, so that the rear legroom will be improved a lot. The introduction of the original hatchback model is more in line with the original user needs.
☆ Mercedes-Maibakh s class
Features: Make the S-class more luxurious through details.
Since it changed from an independent brand to a high-end version of various Mercedes-Benz models, the name Maibakh has finally gained enough popularity. Starting from the S-class, the GLS-class now has a Maibakh version. A new generation of Mercedes-Maibakh S-Class will be launched with the birth of the new S-Class, and its positioning will remain the same as before, higher-end and more luxurious.
A new generation of S-Class was released this year, and its design style broke the tradition of the previous generation, which is a test for Mercedes-Benz. After all, the exterior and interior of the previous generation models were too successful, and such a big change requires enough courage. With the release of S-Class in September, Maibakh S-Class will also be unveiled at Guangzhou Auto Show.
"A new generation of S-class"
According to the rules of the previous generation, the new Maibakh S-Class will still follow the design of the new S-Class, but some modifications will be made in details to enhance the luxury of the whole vehicle. For example, in addition to providing the exclusive logo of Maibakh, a two-color body may also appear on the configuration list. In addition, for example, grille, exhaust pipe and so on may be changed.
"A new generation of S-class"
The interior is also worthy of attention. After all, the new generation of S-class has already used a large-size touch screen, and how to add a sense of luxury within the framework of this screen is really not an easy task. In addition, what kind of configuration will be added to other parts to enhance the sense of luxury is still worth looking forward to.
"A new generation of S-class"
There is not much information about the power part yet, but judging from the previous generation, the V12 twin-turbo engine should continue to exist. After all, it is a symbol of status, and it is worth looking forward to what kind of power unit will be used in other versions. Whether V8 and L6 engines will be provided and whether a hybrid version will appear will be known at Guangzhou Auto Show.
Editor’s comment:
According to the sales data, China should be the largest S-class market in Maibakh, so the debut of Guangzhou Auto Show is reasonable. The reason why it is so successful in China, I think, first of all, compared with the conventional S-class, it has some exclusive designs, which will reveal its differences from details, which also meets the needs of users in China, but it can show its identity without publicity. In addition, compared with the ordinary S-class, the increased price is not exaggerated, which should be the success factor of Maibakh S-class.
☆ Changan UNI-K
Model features: still very sci-fi appearance, but more practical than UNI-T.
After UNI-T, Changan Automobile launched UNI-K, the second model of its high-end series, and we also saw the official pictures about the new car before. As a production version of the Vision-V concept car, the overall visual effect is more sci-fi and fashionable.
In terms of appearance, the new car continues the borderless air intake grille design, and with the long and narrow headlights on both sides, the new car looks very sci-fi. At the same time, the interior of the grille breaks the inherent boundary of the element itself by means of parameterization, and at the same time, the hexagonal chamfer gathers from all sides to the middle LOGO, showing a good sense of fantasy. It is reported that such an innovation will become the most iconic symbol in Chang ‘an design. It is worth mentioning that, according to the previous official statement, its daytime running lights draw on the trident modeling elements of the starship wing to make the new car more recognizable.
In terms of the tail, the new car adopts the shape of a through taillight group, and with the exhaust layout of four sides, it makes the new car look fashionable and sporty. Changan said that the spoiler at the rear of the new car was inspired by the imprint of the space shuttle, which realized the speed visualization, even when it was still, it was full of momentum, and it was also one of the representative symbols to undertake the Vision-V concept car.
In terms of new car size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4865/1948/1700mm and the wheelbase is 2890mm respectively. In terms of configuration, the new car will provide gray glass, black window frames and various styles of wheels for the rear side window according to different vehicle configurations in the future. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 233 HP. In terms of transmission, it is matched with Aisin 8AT gearbox. At the same time, the car will also provide a timely four-wheel drive system for consumers to choose.
Editor’s comment:
After years of precipitation, China brand began to seek upward opportunities, upgrade the brand level and compete with higher-level rivals. Geely has LinkedIn, Great Wall also has WEY, and Changan has also launched a higher-end product camp. The release of UNI-T is eye-catching, while UNI-K is more practical in size and design on the basis of maintaining the sci-fi appearance of the former.
☆ Harvard first love
Model features: In addition to the new naming method, the new car is also remarkable in electronic technology.
The first love of Beijing Auto Show was officially unveiled, but at that time, only the exterior shape was revealed, while the interior shape could only be seen through the glass. However, at the upcoming Guangzhou Auto Show, the interior will be officially exposed. In terms of appearance, Haval First Love adopts the latest family-style design, equipped with a large-size air intake grille, with narrow headlights on both sides and a large-size trapezoidal air intake below, which looks younger and more fashionable as a whole. On the side of the car body, the waistline of the new car is designed smoothly, from the headlights to the taillights to enhance the sense of movement. In the rear part, the new car adopts a large taillight group, which further increases the layering of the car with the shape of the license plate area embedded below and the anti-scratch guard below.
Although the interior of the new car has not been officially exposed, not long ago Harvard released the official interior map of the first love. The interior of the whole car is mainly black and gray, and it is equipped with a large-size floating independent display screen and HUD intelligent head-up display function.
Judging from the official map released, the interior of the whole car is mainly black and gray, and the details are decorated with brown. The colors that are compatible with cold and warm are just like its name, which is literary and individual. The leather embracing seat has a strong sense of wrapping and support, and is equipped with seat heating function. The shift position is designed by knob and embedded in the central armrest with gray lines, which is more advanced.
In terms of configuration, the new car pays more attention to the improvement of science and technology. Haval First Love is equipped with HUD intelligent head-up display function, which can project vehicle information on the front windshield, reducing the frequency of head-down while driving and adding a safety. The large-size floating independent display screen located in the center is also a favorite configuration of consumers at present.
In terms of power, according to the application information, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with the model GW4G15K produced by Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd., and its maximum power is 150 horsepower.
Editor’s comment:
Since the big dog, Haval has been a bit "free-flying" in naming, and it can be said that the interaction on the Internet is flourishing. The first love once again broke the naming rules of the previous SUV. In addition to the changes in appearance, the new car also has bold attempts in electronic systems, which makes people look forward to it very much. In addition, after the first love, we are very much looking forward to whether the naming rules after Harvard will be continued by golden marriage and silver marriage.
☆ GAC Toyota/FAW Toyota brand-new car
Vehicle features: TNGA architecture, positioned between compact and medium-sized cars.
GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota will each release a brand-new model at Guangzhou Auto Show. Both new cars adopt TNGA architecture, and their positioning is between compact cars and medium-sized cars. At present, the new model of GAC Toyota has a Chinese name called "Lingshang", but the name of FAW Toyota has not been released yet.
GAC Toyota/FAW Toyota will release a new model with TNGA architecture.
The brand-new model relies on a brand-new family car developed by TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), equipped with the same TNGA 2.0L engine and CVT gearbox as Camry; At the same time, it has a wheelbase of 2750mm in order to create a wider and more comfortable driving space. In terms of positioning, Corolla and Lei Ling are higher than cash and lower than Camry.
"New car positioning will be between compact car and medium-sized car"
Editor’s comment:
From the product point of view, there is still a price gap between the Corolla/Lei Ling and the higher-grade models, so the positioning of the new models is to aim at this range and launch a product with larger size and richer configuration. However, with the vigorous promotion of the new energy market in China, it remains to be seen whether the attractiveness of traditional gasoline engine models can support the good market performance of these two models.
☆ Subaru Outback
Vehicle features: new SGP platform, 2.4T engine.
A new generation of Subaru Outback was launched at the new york Auto Show in 2019. The overall style of the new car is similar to that of the current model, and the polygonal shape of the middle net and the front grille trim strip can be continued. The specific difference lies in the irregular shape of the new car’s LED headlights, and the vertically arranged strip-shaped LED fog lights also take into account the sense of exquisiteness. According to the information obtained before, the new generation Subaru Outback is expected to be officially launched in China at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show. The new car is built on the brand-new SGP modular platform and adopts a new power system.
In terms of appearance details, the black plastic area surrounded by the new car body is larger, and the color separation treatment looks more wild. The rear of the new Outback has also been redesigned, with a new style of taillight group modeling, C-type LED light source layout and heavy rear enclosure design, further highlighting the cross-border effect.
In terms of interior, the most striking feature of the new Outback is its vertical 11.6-inch central control large screen and built-in Subaru’s latest StarLink car system. Today, with the prevalence of large screens, this design obviously caters to the needs of consumers. At the same time, the interior of the new car is covered by a large area of leather and soft plastic materials, and the two-color design with silver trim has both comfort and texture.
In terms of power, the new Outback is equipped with two horizontally opposed four-cylinder engines, including an upgraded 2.5L engine and a brand-new 2.4T engine. The maximum power of the two engines is 185 HP and 264 HP respectively, and the peak torque is 239 Nm and 376 Nm. The transmission system comes standard with CVT continuously variable transmission and Symmetrical AWD four-wheel drive system.
Editor’s comment:
As a cross-border model, Outback actually meets the current market demand. The new model has been improved in power, and finally it is no longer a situation that a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine dominates the world. The 2.4T engine makes the new car more competitive. In addition, Subaru still has its own characteristics in assisted driving, and intelligence is the main theme of today’s automobile market.
☆ BMW iX3
Model features: the first domestic pure electric vehicle, NEDC battery life of 500km.
It’s not too late for BMW to introduce pure electric vehicles in China, but both i3 and i8 are not household products in the traditional sense. Although Zhi Nuo has a certain connection with BMW, after all, it doesn’t use the BMW logo, so it’s not until the domestic iX3 that we have a domestic model that meets the needs of the mainstream market.
In terms of appearance, the design of BMW iX3 adopts the exclusive design language of BMW I series, and follows the design style of its concept model as a whole, and some adjustments have been made on the basis of this design.
On the premise of retaining the design style of BMW X series, the attributes of electric vehicles have been changed in details such as kidney grille and guide grooves on both sides of bumper. The task of further improving the recognition degree of pure electric vehicles is completed on the premise of ensuring the cooling demand of the cooling system.
From the side, the silver decorative board added in the details and the blue decorative strip at the bottom enrich the layering of the side of the car body. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4746/1891/1683mm and the wheelbase is 2864mm respectively.
In addition, the development team also created a brand-new 20-inch low wind resistance rim for it to improve the cruising range. Official data show that compared with fuel vehicles, it will significantly reduce aerodynamic turbulence, thus reducing air resistance by 5%. In addition, this set of wheels further reduces the weight by 15%, reduces the unsprung weight, optimizes the handling performance of the vehicle and improves the energy efficiency of the whole vehicle.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts the same shape and layout as X3. In details, the new car center console, electronic gear handle, steering wheel LOGO and other places use blue decorative strips, and the car uses blue atmosphere lights to make it look more scientific and technological. In addition, the new car, like X3, adopts leather seats, welcome pedals and other more luxurious and textured configurations.
In terms of power, the BMW iX3 is the first model equipped with BMW’s fifth-generation electric drive system (eDrive). At the beginning, it only provided a rear-wheel drive version, which was equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 210 kW (286 HP) and a peak torque of 400 Nm.
In terms of cruising range, the new car is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 74kWh, and the energy density of the battery pack system reaches 154 WHr/kg. The official cruising range under NEDC conditions is 500km, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 6.8 seconds. In the NEDC standard test, its energy consumption per 100 kilometers is 16.7 kWh.
In terms of charging performance, BMW iX3 adopts an integrated charging unit, which integrates the DC and AC charging control and management functions of vehicles. Within the allowable range of China power grid, it uses high-speed DC charging, the maximum charging power of the vehicle can reach 100 kW, and it takes 45 minutes to charge the battery from 0 to 80%. The maximum charging power of AC charging can reach 11 kW, and it takes 7.5 hours to charge the battery from 0 to 100%.
Editor’s comment:
BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all started to develop new energy products in the China market, and introduced the latest electric vehicles under their brands. In addition to cruising range, electric vehicles also have higher requirements in terms of assisted driving and human-computer interaction. On a global scale, all electric vehicle manufacturers have to face the wall of Tesla. At home, Weilai, Guangzhou Automobile and BYD also have sufficient strength, and the competition is very fierce.
☆ Zero run C11
Model features: medium-sized SUV, NEDC battery life will exceed 600km.
As a new energy brand in China, the model released before Zero Run is more like a water test, and after the first two models land, the real product will be released at Guangzhou Auto Show, that is, Zero Run C11. The new car is based on the zero-run C architecture and will be positioned as a medium-sized SUV with a wheelbase of 2923mm and a NEDC cruising range of more than 600km.
At present, we haven’t got more information about the new car, but judging from the new batch of previews exposed, the appearance design of the new car is novel enough to basically continue the zero run.Design style of C-more concept car.The headlight group is designed with full LED light source, and it is suspected to be a through design. At the same time, as a pure electric vehicle, the new car will adopt a closed front face design, with ventilation openings only on both sides of the front enclosure. In contrast, the taillight group adopts LED light strips with round edges and straight lines, showing a through taillight group design. At the same time, we also noticed that the new car will have a hidden door handle and a two-color D-pillar design.
In terms of interior, judging from the latest design sketches, the interior of the new car mostly uses rectangular elements with round edges, and is equipped with triple screen design popular in electric vehicles. The car system will use the latest generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 platform, and the software will build a brand-new intelligent cockpit based on Leap Cloud, providing intelligent voice interaction system, Bluetooth key, face recognition, adaptive personalized adjustment and intelligent air purification system. In addition, functions such as Nappa leather seats, Nappa leather steering wheel, borderless doors, stepless color-changing atmosphere lights, 12 high-quality speakers, automatic parking system, omni-directional vision system, heating of front and rear seats, independent storage area for umbrellas and wireless charging of mobile phones will also appear on the new car.
"Zero run C11 design sketch
According to the official information provided by Zero Run, the new car is the first product based on Zero Run C architecture. In the future, this architecture can cover the production technology expansion of cars, SUVs and MPV products, matching a variety of powertrains and energy battery packs, with a core component commonality rate of up to 70%. Among them, the body size of the zero-run C11 reaches 4745/1890/1635mm and the wheelbase is 2923mm, which is positioned in a medium-sized SUV, and the suspension adopts the design of front double wishbone and rear five-bar suspension.

It has three driving modes: sports, comfort and ECO, and the NEDC cruising range is over 600km. It is also equipped with Leap Pilot 22 intelligent driving AIDS.
Editor’s comment:
The C11 is the first pure electric vehicle of large enough size to meet the needs of a family of three. In other words, the new model is also the one with the greatest demand in the market. The size of about 4.7 meters meets the daily household needs, and because there is no traditional power system, the layout of electric vehicles is more flexible and the wheelbase is larger, which brings better riding space. Therefore, this new car will also be an important part of the sales growth of zero-run, which is of great significance to the brand.
☆ GAC Chuanqi EMPOWER
Highlights of vehicle models: the new flagship of the new platform.
Like Chang ‘an, GAC Chuanqi is also striving to improve its brand positioning and brand image, and bring more competitive products to the market through new platforms and power systems, including the brand’s latest flagship EMPOWER model (internal code A55). At present, there is no more information about the new car. It is expected that the veil will not be unveiled until the Guangzhou Auto Show, but some details can still see some new car information. The new car is positioned as a sliding back design car, and the overall visual effect is more sporty and radical.
Judging from the official preview, the new car has adopted a brand-new design style, which seems to be different from the existing design language of Chuanqi, and the overall visual effect is more aggressive. At the same time, its daytime running lights adopt a design similar to fangs, which is quite recognizable.
From the side of the car body, it adopts round and flat car body lines, with a flowing visual illusion. At the same time, a slightly raised waistline runs directly from the front wheel eyebrow to the taillight group, which makes the car look more stretched.
The camouflage of the tail part is heavy, but we can still see that the car adopts the shape of a flat and long light group, which skillfully echoes the headlight group. In terms of power, the official has not released its specific information at present, and it may have to wait until the auto show to finally announce it.
Editor’s comment:
Just past the Beijing Auto Show, GAC Chuanqi released new cars/technologies such as Julang Power Platform, and new models will also be born from this platform. The platform includes two major fields: engine and gearbox, including three major supports of high-efficiency engine, high-efficiency gearbox and hybrid products, and a complete product architecture of six sections: 1.5L fuel engine platform, 2.0L fuel engine platform, DHE hybrid engine, WDCT gearbox, 8AT gearbox and DHT hybrid gearbox. At present, GAC Chuanqi’s flagship car is GA8, and new models will be introduced in the future to meet the market demand, equipped with hybrid technology to adapt to the domestic new energy policy.
☆ Volvo XC40 RECHARGE
Model features: Volvo’s first domestic pure electric model
Not only BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, but also Volvo has introduced pure electric vehicles in the China market, which is the Volvo XC40 RECHARGE. The new car has been unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, and at the Guangzhou Auto Show, it will be officially listed to announce the price. The 0-100km/h acceleration time of the new car is 4.9 seconds, and the cruising range under WLTP standard is 400km.
The design of Volvo XC40 pure electric version is basically the same as that of gasoline version, and it is also built for CMA architecture.

In terms of battery, the new car is equipped with a 78kWh battery pack, and the cruising range under WLTP standard is 400km.
Editor’s comment:
Domestic pure electric vehicles as soon as possible should be the strategy of all overseas brands in China market for several years to meet the market demand. Like BMW, Volvo will also face competition from many China brands except Tesla. In the field of electric vehicles, the influence of traditional luxury brands is decreasing, and who can provide better and smarter models can win users.
