Looking forward to it? GLA, 2008, Explorer and Land Rover Defender will be upgraded in China this year.

In 2020, what are the popular replacement new cars that will be listed in the SUV field?

This year's replacement SUV is very interesting. Because they are either talked about by people with feelings, or loved by many people with their face values, or praised by their powerful performance. Let's take a look together.

Fourth generation Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defender is the first off-road vehicle built by Land Rover brand. The original model was born in 1948. Since its birth, the gene of Land Rover Defender has been determined, and it is a hard-core off-road vehicle with super passability and strong practicability. Therefore, the design style of Land Rover Defender is relatively rough. Compared with JEEP Shepherd and Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which are both hard-core cross-country, the design style is more radical. At the same time, because of its excellent off-road ability, Land Rover Defender enjoys a high reputation all over the world.

The brand-new Land Rover Defender, which is about to land in China market, should belong to the fourth generation according to the generation division. The new car debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 20 19, and has been booked in the UK and other markets. The earliest car owners expect to pick up the car in March. The pace of domestic listing will be delayed by 1-2 months.

Despite the name of Land Rover Defender, the new Land Rover Defender is considered to be one of the least Land Rover models. The reason is that it actually cancels the logo girder body of the hard-core off-road vehicle and adopts the load-bearing body that the city SUV will use. In addition, the design of the new car has become very modern and even a little cute, which is in sharp contrast with the tough guy temperament of Land Rover Defender. However, from another perspective, the times are progressing, and these changes made by Land Rover Defenders are not a bad thing. Of course, the new Land Rover Defender also has many attractive product highlights. For example, it has three-door and five-door versions of the body. In terms of off-road capability, a full-time four-wheel drive system and a two-speed transfer box are standard. Different models will also be equipped with central differential, optional rear axle differential lock and air suspension. Its second generation all-terrain feedback system provides 9 modes to choose from (8 driving modes+1 wading mode).

The second generation Mercedes-Benz GLA

Mercedes-Benz GLA is a very young car series, which was born on 20 13 and entered China on 20 14. It is the most entry-level SUV in the Mercedes-Benz family.

Technically, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Mercedes-Benz A-Class are homologous. The current Mercedes-Benz GLA and the then Mercedes-Benz A-Class enjoyed many technologies, including three core components: engine, gearbox and chassis. The second generation of Mercedes-Benz GLA continues the blood relationship with Mercedes-Benz A-class. After Mercedes-Benz A-Class launched the replacement model, Mercedes-Benz GLA naturally followed suit. 20191211,the second-generation Mercedes-benz GLA is launched in the world, and the new car is expected to be listed in Europe in the first quarter of 2020, and then made in China by Beijing Mercedes-benz.

The overall shape of the second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA is basically the same as the cash, but it is still somewhat similar to the design of the crossover model, not the standard SUV shape. The design and technology come from the updated Mercedes-Benz A-Class, including front and rear styling, interior design and brand-new powertrain. The new car will be equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, matching the 7-speed DCT gearbox. Judging from the current market performance of Mercedes-Benz GLA, the second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA should be able to achieve equally good sales.

Second generation Peugeot 2008

Peugeot was born in 2008, and entered the China market on 20 14. From the product point of view, Peugeot 2008 is a car with weak presence. As an SUV model, the overall shape of the original Peugeot 2008 is not a standard SUV posture. The design is not particularly beautiful. Plus its small size, the space is not too big. Peugeot 2008 has always been a marginal model in the domestic automobile market.

But the second generation Peugeot 2008 is completely different. It adopts Peugeot's latest family design language. Anyway, it's beautiful. From the appearance to the interior, its overall aesthetic far exceeds that of similar models on the market at present. The new car was officially unveiled on June 9, 20 19. At present, it has been sold in many overseas markets, while the domestic version will wait until March 2020.

In addition to the great improvement in face value, the new Peugeot 2008 still has a lot to watch on its products. The new car will be equipped with a 1.2T engine that meets the national sixth B emission, with a maximum horsepower of 136 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, matching a 5-speed manual or 6-speed at gearbox. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 5L. In addition, a pure electric version named Peugeot e-2008 was launched together with the fuel version, which is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum horsepower of 65,438+036 and a peak torque of 260 Nm. NEDC's cruising range is 430 kilometers.

Sixth generation Ford explorer

Born in 1990, Ford Explorer is a typical American medium-sized SUV. Founder's modeling mainly serves its spatial practicality. In addition, this car is also very pragmatic in terms of technology. There are not many fancy new technologies, but it is very accurate and meets the daily needs of the American people. So its sales performance in the American market is good.

It was not until 20 13 that Ford explorers entered China by way of import, which was the fifth generation model at that time. However, the sales performance of Ford Explorer in China at this time is not very good, mainly because its price range of 500,000 yuan has been dominated by German luxury brands for a long time. Although Ford Explorer has good product strength, it has no advantage in price and brand power. On October 20 19 1 month, Ford officially released the sixth generation of Ford Explorer.

In order to solve the dilemma of Ford explorers in China, Ford decided to introduce this car to China. The new car is built on the brand-new CD6 rear-drive platform, and its size reaches the level of medium and large SUV. According to the declaration information previously exposed, the Explorer produced by Changan Ford will be equipped with a 2.3TEcoBoost engine with a maximum horsepower of 276 horsepower, matching with the 10AT gearbox, meeting the national six emission standards. The price range will be reduced from the imported version of 500,000 to around 300,000. The cost performance will be greatly improved. The new car is expected to be listed in China in mid-2020.

Let's talk about it finally.

Although these cars mentioned today are not the hottest models on the market, they are still worth looking forward to from the perspective of product strength. In particular, the second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA and the second-generation Peugeot 2008 are both powerful and very mainstream models, which are very suitable for young people. Of course, in today's fierce market competition, the market performance and consumer acceptance of these new cars depend not only on their product strength, but also on the pricing and marketing strategies of manufacturers. Finally, I want to ask you, do these four replacement SUVs have your own dishes?
