The first time I saw Kia Lion Platinum is at the at the Chengdu Auto Show at the end of August. Since I had never done my homework before the auto show, I just stroll aimlessly. But when I accidentally saw the Shibo Tuojie, the appearance of this car still attracted me. The radical design once reminded me of the fluid sculptures and storm cutting-edge design concepts of Korean cars back then. It can be said that the first impression that the Shibo Tuojie gave me was quite amazing. However, whether a car is good or not still needs to return to its product strength. So how is the product strength of Shibotuojie? Let’s analyze it carefully today.
Shibotuojie is currently in the pre-sale stage, with the pre-sale price of the 1.5T+8AT model starting from 179,800 yuan, the pre-sale price of the 2.0T+8AT model starting from 190,800 yuan, and the pre-sale price of the 2.0L HEV+6AT model starting from 205,800 yuan. Judging from the basic information of the car series, the choice of Shibotuojie is quite rich, and it also provides fuel version and hybrid version models, which can cover a wider consumer group. Today, we mainly take the Shibotuojie 2022 2.0T four-wheel drive flagship model as an example to analyze the product strength of the car.
Before talking about the hard product power of Shibotuojie, let’s talk about the appearance and interior of Shibotuojie. After all, as mentioned earlier, the first thing that attracted me to Shibotuojie was the design of the car. In terms of appearance, the Shibo Tuojie adopts the design concept of "unity of opposition and unity", and the overall visual effect is quite radical. In the front of the car, the design of Shibo Tuojie is relatively avant-garde. The large-size air intake grille adopts a layered style design. The design of a large-mouth heat dissipation hole is also adopted at the bottom of the car. It is combined with the "boomerang"-style LED light strip , and it still has a strong visual impact. On the side of the body, the overall shape of the Shibo Tuojie is very slender, and it adopts a double-segment waistline design, which also has a strong three-dimensional visual sense. At the same time, the D-pillar of Shibotuojie adopts a smoked black style design to create the visual effect of a suspended roof, which looks quite fashionable overall. In addition, the model we selected is equipped with 19-inch wheels, which is quite large in size, which also makes the lower body plate of Shibotuojie appear more solid.
rear part, the overall design of the Shi Platinum Tuojie should be simpler, and the overall visual effect is also relatively restrained. The rear of the Shibo Tuojie adopts a little horizontal line design, the overall layer is very clear, and the concave tailgate also enhances the three-dimensional sense. It is worth mentioning that the rear of the Shibo Tuojie is decorated with a large amount of black plastic parts, which also adds a bit of wildness to the whole vehicle. Overall, the design of Shibo Tuojie is more bold and avant-garde, and its overall style is more towards young people. In terms of interior, Shibotuojie adopts a driver-centered cockpit design concept, and the overall feeling of strong embracing. I personally like this design. The layout of the center console of Shibotuojie is relatively simple. At the same time, the car adopts a dual 12.3-inch "dual screen" design, and the "dual screen" is a curved screen, with the overall console tilting towards the driver's side to create the effect of a surrounding cockpit. In terms of details, the functional control area of Shibo Tuojie adopts touch control, and the knob-type electronic gear handle can also enhance the technological sense of the interior. As for the materials and workmanship, the interior of Shibotuojie uses leather, plastic and other materials, and the overall sense of grade can keep up with the mainstream level. The wiring and seams of the interior are relatively uniform, so the overall workmanship is quite solid.
Shibotuojie is positioned as a compact SUV, and consumers of this type of car will generally focus on space and practicality. Let’s take a look at the space performance ofShibotuojie in this part. The length, width and height of the Lion Platinum Tuojie are 4670, 1865, and 1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2755mm. Compared with the same class of Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tuojie and other cars, the overall size of the Lion Platinum Tuojie still has some advantages. In terms of specific space, taking my 180cm height as an example, in the front row of the Shibo Tuojie, after adjusting the seats, my head space is four fingers, and the space is still quite abundant. At the same time, Shibotuojie adopts genuine leather wrapping and has seat heating and ventilation functions, making the overall comfort remarkable.
keeps the front seat position unchanged and enters the rear row of the Shibo Tuojie. At this time, my head space is two fingers and leg space is two punches. The performance of the car can also reach the mainstream level of the same level. At the same time, the rear seats of Shibotuojie support backrest adjustment and have seat heating function, making the comfort performance good. In the trunk stage of
, the conventional trunk of Shibo Tuojie is 529L, and the proportion of the rear seats supports downward, so the expansion ability can also reach the mainstream level of the same level. At the same time, Shibotuojie is equipped with an electric tailgate, but the configuration is exclusive to the "Ultravel Edition". I think this configuration is still necessary to be delegated to the mid-end models. In terms of configuration of
, Korean cars have never disappointed consumers in configuration. For new cars at this time node in 2022, intelligent and technological configurations are only crucial. Let’s take a look at the performance of Shibo Tuojie. In terms of intelligent driving and active safety, Shibotuojie is equipped with L2+-level intelligent driving assistance system. In addition to conventional adaptive cruise and lane keeping functions, Shibotuojie can also realize lane following assistance and highway driving assistance wind functions. At the same time, Shibo Tuojie is also equipped with blind spot anti-collision assistance, forward anti-collision assistance and other functions, and the overall active safety configuration is quite comprehensive. It is worth mentioning that forward anti-collision assistance, lane departure warning and other configurations are standard for the entire series, which is worthy of praise;
human-computer interaction level, Shibotuojie is equipped with the "Kia Connect intelligent interconnection system" and supports OTA remote upgrade. In terms of specific functions, Shibotuojie can realize online navigation, voice interaction (dual zone), mobile APP car control, car-home interconnection and other functions. Since the system is jointly developed with Baidu , its functionality and later expansion capabilities are not something to worry about; in terms of conventional configuration, Shibotuojie also has 6 airbags, panoramic sunroof, Harman Katon audio , internal aura lights, front soundproof glass and other configurations, and its overall configuration is quite rich.
Finally, let’s take a look at the power performance of Shibo Tuojie, but since the power selection of the car is indeed rich, we mainly take the selection of models as an example to see the performance of the car. Shibotuojie adopts a power combination of 2.0T engine + 8AT gearbox, and also comes with timely four-wheel drive system . Its maximum engine power is 174kW and the maximum torque of is 353N·m. For a 2.0T engine, Shibotuojie's power parameters are quite beautiful. At the same time, the acceleration time of 0-100km/h of Shibo Tuojie is 7.8 seconds, and the actual power performance is also remarkable. The WLTC fuel consumption of the whole vehicle is 8.03L/100km, and the economy is acceptable.
is written at the end: From the overall product strength of Shibotuojie, even if it is required by the 2022 standards, I think Shibotuojie's product strength is still keeping up with the times. Let’s not talk about the appearance and interior. After all, everyone has different aesthetics. At the space level, the overall performance of the Shibo Tuojie can rank among the middle and upstream levels among the same-level models; in terms of configuration, the smart and technological configurations of Shibo Tuojie are quite rich, and the equipment rate is relatively high, but the equipment rate of some basic configurations needs to be improved; at the power level, the power output and economic performance of Shibo Tuojie is very balanced. In summary, I think the Shibo Tuo world has strong competitiveness, and I believe that the car will have broad prospects.
