2022 is a year worthy of praise for domestic brands. Why do you say so? It's very simple, because "Made in China" has been a great success this year. We have transformed from a major importer of passenger cars to a major exporter. This year's passenger car export volume has broken the previous record. According to the data provided by China Automobile Manufacturers Association , from January to August 2022, we exported a total of 1.817 million cars, a year-on-year increase of 52.8%, making it the second largest automobile exporter after Germany, which means that my country's automobile export volume has exceeded Japan. Among them, Chery Automobile made a great contribution. From January to August this year, Chery Automobile exported a total of 250,633 cars, a year-on-year increase of 51.1%, and can be sold in many countries around the world. This shows that in terms of quality, Chery Automobile is still "a little bit of a thing".
While maintaining the year-on-year increase in both the domestic and overseas markets, Chery Automobile has not stopped launching new models. So, the new Arrizo 8 is here. I think the appearance of this new car is "very good". It adopts a coupe-style design that young people like very much, with a "big sloping back" that highlights the sporty atmosphere. It also uses a black roof + other colors of body to form a "double-car body" design, which can better enhance the recognition of the appearance. Not only that, it also adopts a dual-appearance design, one is a radial center grid + four-outlet exhaust on both sides, and one is a honeycomb center grid + two-outlet exhaust on both sides, one is a fashionable and sporty, and the other is a more generous and luxurious, with strong targetedness, so it is easy to choose the style you like.
Arrizo 8 is positioned as a compact car, but its body size is comparable to B-class car , with a full "graduation" style. Specifically, its length, width and height are 4780 mm, 1843 mm and 1469 mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2790 mm. This size not only makes the appearance more relaxed and smooth, but also makes the interior space more spacious, achieving "killing two birds with one stone". In terms of price of
, the car has 5 models, priced at 108,900-132,900 yuan. Considering the product strength of Arrizo 8, I think its price is still very reasonable.
power, the entire series of the car is equipped with Kunpeng Power 1.6TGDI turbocharged direct injection engine with a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290N·m. It is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. This engine is the "Top Ten Chinese Brand Engines". It has the characteristics of strong power output, low fuel consumption and high thermal efficiency. It is also very compatible with the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Basically, you will not notice the feeling of jerk. The transmission has a high transmission system and a fast gear shifting speed. With the matching of two pairs, you can get a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km (WLTC operating conditions). Going back to the engine, in my opinion, this 1.6T engine can be comparable to a 2.0T engine. Taking the BMW 325Li as an example, its 2.0T engine has a book data of 135kW/300N·m. Compared with the 1.6T engine of Arrizo 8, it can be said that each has its own strengths and its overall strength is comparable. "Made in China" is not worse than a joint venture now, we need to be a little more confident. What are the highlights of the interior design of Arrizo 8? First of all, in terms of color matching, the tones are gorgeous and the visual effect is not dull, which can greatly gain the favor of young people. Secondly, it is equipped with a dual 12.3-inch "dual screen", which looks very technological and has a built-in Lion Zhiyun LION 5.0 system, which can realize intelligent voice, car-machine interconnection, sensorless facial recognition and other intelligent functions. It supports Gaode map, CarPlay, HiCar, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, etc., with rich functions. Third, it is equipped with an L2.5-level intelligent driving assistance system, with more than 20 powerful functions, and this is not the "exclusive" of the top-end models. Among its 5 models, 3 are equipped with an L2.5-level intelligent driving assistance system, ranging from 119,900 yuan to 1.6T DCT models, which are upwards. This is a function that can compete with high-end new energy vehicles, and the price of Arrizo 8 is obviously more "friendly".In terms of space, thanks to its large-size design, the rear space is very spacious. Even if the front seats are adjusted to the end and sitting on the rear seats, the leg space is still open. The seats are also very comfortable to ride, with soft internal filling, thicker seat cushions, and the backrest has been concave to better fit the back contour. This is the ergonomic design. In addition, it is equipped with 8 SONY speakers and a panoramic sunroof, which makes it very comfortable to ride.
Overall, Chery Arrizo 8's product strength is very balanced, and it does not have many "scores" in terms of price, power, space, size, intelligence, configuration, assisted driving, etc.
