Bourne 66: Damai X7/new RAV4//brand new Q5, etc.
[Bourne ultimatum] It’s another weekend in a blink of an eye, and the new issue of Bourne ultimatum meets with you. There are many heavy models in this week’s spy photos. Domestically, there are two new cars, the new RAV4, the production version, and the speed car, and the domestic L; Overseas, there are brand-new Q5, brand-new, brand-new and brand-new G-class Toyota. Next, let’s walk into the text and see the specific situation of these 9 cars.
● Zotye Damai X7
All along, we can find the shadow of existing models of overseas brands in many models of Zotye. However, when faced with the BMW X7, many people may be confused, but don’t rush to deny their knowledge reserves, because this car is not a production model, but a GTE. Obviously, Zotye beat us to it.
Damai X7 has a high degree of restoration for the appearance of Cross GTE concept car, including the front face layout and tail shape. On the side, the lines of the Damai X7 are straighter, which is not as exaggerated as the Cross Coupe GTE concept car.
In the interior part, Damai X7 still draws lessons from the design of the Cross Coupe GTE concept car, and even the details of the air conditioning outlet, buttons and chrome-plated decorative parts are exactly the same as the Cross Coupe GTE concept car. However, the shift lever of the manual transmission model has no sense of design, which is not very harmonious with the overall design.
As for the power system, Damai X7 will provide three power options, namely 1.5T, 1.8T and 2.0T. In terms of transmission system, it is matched with 5-speed manual or 6-speed.
Editor’s comment:Every time Zotye launches a new car, it will become the focus of consumers’ attention, because there is really no manufacturer in the market that can reverse develop overseas car companies on a large scale like Zotye. From the earliest, to the next, Zotye’s imitation road has embarked on the "first cosmic speed". What drives Zotye to go on like this is not only high attention, low research and development cost, but also good market response. For example, the monthly sales of Zotye are often above 10,000 vehicles, and in the first five months of 2016, it also sold 43,284 vehicles.
Although many people will show disdain for such a product, the sales data reflect that it still has a large market. This shows that Zotye’s ability to grasp consumer demand and market hotspots is still very good. This time, the concept car that Volkswagen has not yet mass-produced is used as a blueprint to imitate, and Zotye has even walked in front of the public. Since I have such a vision, I still hope Zotye can bring us more original designs, which is really ahead of other brands.

● FAW Toyota new RAV4
The market has always been one of the main battlefields among the major players. Although it is an old player, the sales performance of RAV4 has no advantage over competitors. The reason is that the configuration is one aspect that many consumers are dissatisfied with, so the new RAV4 came into being, and the new car was upgraded in the configuration part, further enhancing its competitiveness.
The new RAV4 continues the design of overseas models in appearance. The main change lies in the front face, the air intake grille above becomes very long and narrow, and the modeling details of the front bumper below are also adjusted. At the rear, the new car redesigned the details of the taillights and bumpers.
In the interior, we can see that the overall design of the new car has not changed, but some models have added a 7-inch central control LCD screen and a dashboard with a 4.2-inch LCD screen. In the configuration part, automatic start-stop and body stability systems, systems and systems are added to the entry-level models. The configuration of other models has also been improved to varying degrees, which will increase functions such as panoramic image system, outdoor (with heating), keyless entry (one-button start), and uphill assistance. On the whole, the new RAV4 has a significant improvement in configuration.
"3ZR-FAE engine for overseas models"
In terms of power, the new RAV4 is still equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L engines, of which the 2.0L engine is a new engine code-named 3ZR-FAE, and its maximum horsepower is increased from 147 HP to 150 HP. Due to the continuous lift technology, its fuel consumption performance is worth looking forward to.
Editor’s comment:For consumers who are concerned about RAV4, the upgrade of this configuration should be the most attractive. The current models are not equipped with traction control and body stability control system as standard, which makes some consumers finally choose other products. The new models have been improved in these aspects, and are fully equipped with body stability system, traction control system and uphill auxiliary system, and other configurations have also been upgraded. FAW Toyota has made positive adjustments to the feedback from the market, which is very worthy of recognition.
In addition to the configuration, we need to pay attention to the replacement of a new 2.0L engine. Although the new engine has little improvement in power performance, according to the introduction of Toyota manufacturers, the continuous variable lift technology can reduce fuel consumption by 5-10%. For RAV4, which is biased towards home, low fuel consumption is undoubtedly an attractive selling point, which is worth looking forward to. It is expected that the price of the new car will not change much, and it may still remain in the range of 180,000-270,000 yuan.

● Concept B production version
As an evergreen tree in the China brand SUV market, Haval’s every move will attract the attention of many consumers, and so will this production version of Concept B. Concept B is a production version, focusing on young and fashionable consumer groups.
The production version of Harvard Concept B locates a small SUV, which will be sold at the same time as H2 in the future. In terms of appearance, this car adopts a typical blue standard style, such as hexagonal air intake grille and sharp headlights, which is very similar to other blue standard models.
On the side, this car largely retains the design of the concept car. The waistline rises backwards, creating a running posture. At the rear, the Concept B concept car uses two exhaust ports on both sides. Referring to the car body parameters of the concept car, the length, width and height of the car body of Concept B are 4146/1772/1623mm and 2550mm respectively, which is slightly smaller.
The interior of the production version of Concept B is also quite individual. The center console is equipped with a large-size LCD screen, and the layout style of buttons at the bottom of the screen is the same as that of the blue standard H2. On the right side of the center console, chrome-plated decorative pieces are integrated with the air-conditioning outlets on both sides, which is very novel. In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with functions such as reversing radar, keyless entry and one-button start. At present, the power information of the car has not been exposed.
Editor’s comment:In terms of body size, the production version of Haval Concept B is a small SUV between Haval H1 and H2. It is closer to the Haval H2 blue standard in terms of body size and design, and it is also likely to be equipped with a 1.5T engine in terms of power. In terms of price, the current price of Haval H1 is 54,900-82,900 yuan, and the price of Haval H2 is 88,800-12,800 yuan, of which Haval H1 focuses on the market of about 70,000 yuan, and Haval H2 focuses on the market of about 100,000-110,000 yuan. Therefore, in the market of 800,000-100,000 yuan, Harvard still has potential to be tapped, and Concept B was born for this purpose. It is estimated that the final price of this car will be around 700,000-110,000 yuan.
Although it is said that having more children is easy to fight, it does not mean that children will not fight. At the same time, three products are laid out in the small SUV market, which is rare in car companies. To handle the relationship between these cars well, we must do a good job in vehicle positioning, configuration level, pricing and market strategy, so that the three can be in their respective positions and form a joint force, which will be a difficult problem before Harvard. In addition, I have a question. Since this car is positioned between H1 and H2, how will it be named? Haval H1.5?
