Today, let’s take stock of some models worthy of your attention at this year’s Chengdu Auto Show. Because there are many exhibitors and venues, we will present them to you in the order of 1~9 venues, which can also be used as a reference when watching the exhibition.
Venue 1
■ Ford’s new generation Focus
The appearance of the new Focus is still "Martin" family style, and the brand-new LED headlights are quite sharp. The wheelbase of the new Focus is 57 mm longer than that of the previous generation, and hatchback and three-box versions will be launched in China in the future. The new car will be equipped with a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, with the maximum power of 126 HP and 181 HP respectively, matching the 8-speed automatic transmission. This power system is very exciting. The pre-sale price of the new car will be released at Chengdu Auto Show, so young people who like this car should keep an eye on it.
■ changan CS35 Plus
Following the trend of mobile phones, the naming method of cars is becoming less and less creative. The rude word "Plus" is imitated by major manufacturers, but CS35.
Plus is not an enlarged version of CS35, but a replacement product of CS35. CS35
Plus’s appearance is completely transformed, and the body lines are more masculine, which is very in line with the eyes of consumers nowadays. The new car will be unveiled at this year’s Chengdu Auto Show and is expected to be officially launched in October.
■ Beiqi ET400
This car, which has been unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show before, has a closed front air intake and a lot of body lines, and it looks really sharp. It is equipped with e-Motion of BAIC New Energy.
Drive super electric drive technology, it is understood that this car is expected to have a cruising range of 400 kilometers under comprehensive working conditions.
■ Beiqi EC3
The brand-new model of BAIC New Energy is equipped with a driving motor with a maximum power of 61 HP and a maximum torque of 150 Nm, with a comprehensive cruising range of 261 km. I have always thought that such vehicles are usually "careless", and the design language without any advantages does not know how to pass the internal resolution of BAIC, and occupying a new energy index may be its greatest use.
■ Changan Mazda CX-8
CX-8 is a brand-new medium and large SUV owned by Mazda. It made its debut at Tokyo Auto Show last year, and a right-hand version of CX-8 also came to China at Beijing Auto Show in April this year. CX-8 adopts Mazda’s "Soul Motion" design language, and its overall appearance is the same as CX-5, but its size is much larger, with a body size of 4900x1840x1730 and a wheelbase of 2930mm. The nearly five-meter conductor is indeed a big guy. In the future, CX-8 will launch two versions of 6-seat and 7-seat. I believe that the price after domestic production is the most concerned point for everyone, and there are not a few people holding money and other prices.
■ GAC Mitsubishi Yangge
Yige is a brand-new compact SUV owned by Mitsubishi, and its design is very bold. This kind of design is hard to accept two years earlier, but this year many manufacturers have begun to take an unusual path, such as Toyota and Mazda. mitsubishi
Game songs are also to seize this aesthetic change. After all, it is king to seize the critical eyes of young people. Yige will be equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 161 HP and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.

Guangqi Honda will officially release the new Accord hybrid version on the 29th of this month, and of course it will also appear at the Chengdu Auto Show in 2018. This hybrid model is obviously aimed at Toyota’s twin engines. This generation of Camry and Accord have extraordinary market performance, and the media’s evaluation of them is also more praise than condemnation. If the Accord does not write articles on power matching, it will slowly distance itself from Camry, and the hybrid version can be described as very timely. The new Accord sharp hybrid model will be equipped with the third-generation Honda i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of different configuration models is 4.0 liters and 4.2 liters respectively.

If you come to Hall 3, Beijing Hyundai is a different booth to miss.
Venue 4
■ dongfeng fengshen AX7
Venue 4 is almost chartered by Dongfeng Group, so it can be regarded as a special performance of Dongfeng. First of all, the entrance of the venue is dongfeng fengshen, and the most important model brought by this auto show in dongfeng fengshen is the new generation AX7. To tell the truth, the current dongfeng fengshen AX7 didn’t leave me too good influence. Aside from the power performance, the light appearance is a little too "simple". However, the appearance of the new car is obviously improved compared with the previous generation, and the appearance is more scientific and technological than the previous generation, and the taillights across the tail are highly recognizable. The new car has been confirmed to be officially launched on September 25th this year.
■ Dongfeng Citroen C4 Aircross Yunyi
Dongfeng Citroen currently has C3 XR and Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS in the domestic SUV market, and this year’s auto show will launch C4 between the two positioning.
Aircross, the intention to seize the market segment is obvious. C4
Aircross inherits the unique design aesthetics of the French as always. The rounded body makes people love and hate, and they like it fondly, and even a glance at it is redundant. It is reported that C4
