Pentium staged the return of the king? This car is over 4.8 meters long and looks like a Cadillac. It will be listed this year.

When it comes to domestic brands of medium-sized cars, which one do you think of first? I think young friends will think of Geely Borui, Hongqi H5, Chuanqi GA8 and Changan Ruicheng CC. However, for the post-7 s, post-8 s or older groups, I think the B7 owned by FAW Pentium is a classic that they can't get rid of!

as the first product of faw Pentium to enter the passenger car market, this model is aimed at mid-size cars. Pentium B7 was a star model in the mid-size car camp at that time. Relying on the mature technology of the old mazda 6, it even put up the slogan of "the only self-owned mid-to-high-class car in China" at the beginning of listing. However, the cruelty of the competition in the mid-size car market is not what it used to be. Even though Pentium once upgraded it, this classic model slowly withdrew from the historical stage without the support of Mazda's mature and reliable power system and other selling points.

fortunately, "there is no way for mountains and rivers to regain doubts, and there is another village with bright flowers". Since Xu Liuping took office as FAW, not only the Hongqi brand has opened a new chapter, but also the Pentium brand, which has also achieved glorious history, has ushered in a new life. And the Pentium B7, which already looks a little senile, has finally ushered in its third generation products. So, what changes have taken place in the new generation Pentium B7? Will it stage the return of the king? Let's take this opportunity to get to know each other.

as a replacement model, the new faw Pentium B7 is completely new from the inside out. First of all, on the production platform, the new Pentium 7 is based on the new technical architecture-infinite equation FMA architecture. In the future, the platform will be fully promoted in the independent brands of FAW Group, and even the Hongqi brand will create some products on this platform, which shows the importance of the new Pentium 7 to the whole FAW Group. In order to make this vanguard hit the jackpot, the new Pentium B7 is fully prepared in appearance, interior configuration and power system.

Take the most basic appearance value as an example. In order to cater to the younger trend of the current automobile consumption market, the new Pentium B7 uses a brand-new design language of "sexy surface of light and shadow philosophy" in its appearance design concept. The front air intake grille adopts a hexagonal big mouth structure, with 74 digital rain curtain-style middle nets as an ornament, and with the "Ge"-shaped all-LED headlight groups on both sides and the chrome-plated penetrating sports front bumper, it creates a young and fashionable visual effect for the whole new car. Of course, at first glance, you may feel that this front face looks a bit like a Cadillac, but its exquisite details still give this new car a unique charm, so it is absolutely untenable to say that it is a "cottage".

coming to the side of the new car, it can be seen from the actual car that the new Pentium B7 has added the popular slip-back element, and the beautiful roof line extends to the rear of the car to form a natural duck tail design. Together with the flat door panel and straight waistline, it shows the slender and straight side shape of the new Pentium B7. In addition, the lower edge of the window at the C-pillar of the car has an obvious upward treatment, which is slightly similar to Cadillac CT5, not plagiarism, but the sporty atmosphere created for the new car is the same. As for the rim shape, the new Pentium B7 adopts a 19-inch Y-shaped rim with dense strips, and the detailed design makes the new car full of power and atmosphere.

there are two bright spots in the rear part, one of which is the most eye-catching integrated penetrating taillight group. This design is the most popular design concept at present, which can effectively increase the recognition of new cars at night. In order to show its uniqueness, the taillight group of the new Pentium B7 echoes the headlight group in shape, and it has no choice in design sense or effect. Another highlight is the hatchback tailgate, whose opening position crosses the C-pillar, which echoes the sharp window, increasing practicality and creating a sharp effect. As for the body size, the body size of the new Pentium B7 is also considerable, with a length of over 4m 8 and a wheelbase of 2m 8, which is even larger than that of the recently popular Geely Xingrui. Then, what is the performance of this new Pentium B7 in terms of internal driving space? Let's continue to look down.

according to the actual experience, the new Pentium B7 has spacious legroom in both the front row and the rear row, and all the rear seats of the car are equipped with three head pillows, which support full leveling. With the hatchback tailgate design, it can provide excellent practicability. In terms of storage space, the performance of the new Pentium B7 has also reached an excellent level, and the number and depth of storage compartments are considerable, so there is nothing to be picky about. Of course, as a medium-sized car, besides the space and practicality, the new Pentium B7 is also friendly to drivers.

The design concept of its cockpit has also been thoroughly innovated. The center console is simple in shape and slightly tilted to the driver's side to create a better driving experience. The most eye-catching is the car's several large screens. The full LCD instrument is connected to the central screen, and the air conditioning control area is also designed with touch screen, supplemented by knob air volume/temperature adjustment components, creating a strong scientific and technological atmosphere. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the top of the center console of the new Pentium B7 has also added the same holographic projection equipment as that on the Pentium T77. Although it really has no practical use value, it is not bad in playability.

finally, in terms of power, the new generation of Pentium B7 will be equipped with a brand-new 1.5T turbocharged engine, which can be said to be a star model. It is equipped on PRO, with a maximum power of 169 HP and a peak torque of 258 Nm, which meets the national six emission standards and a thermal efficiency of 39.6%. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The suspension of the chassis is a bit unexpected, and it will provide two different suspensions, namely, the rear multi-link and the rear torsion beam, according to the different vehicle configurations. Therefore, it can be expected that the future price coverage range of this new car may be very wide, and the price/performance ratio after listing in the end of the year is also worth looking forward to. So, for this new car, how much do you think it will be priced? You may wish to express your opinion in the message area.
