Arrizo is also a backbone force in Chinese brand family sedans. This nameplate has gone through many generations and has also produced many subdivided models. The new Arrizo 8 we are going to see today is the highest-positioned derivative model launched by this sedan nameplate ten years later.
Compared with the Arrizo people we saw in the past, Arrizo 8 now has a more distinct positioning, that is, to take the sports car route. After the air intake grille incorporates the headlight and lower air holes, an X-shaped letter structure with considerable size is formed on the front face. The interlaced center grille is all sprayed black, and the small-sized spoiler will surround the two ends and integrate it with the flow holes. At the same time, metal decorative strips born from the car logo are inserted into the headlights, and adaptive high and low beam technology will also make it look more calm and friendly on the road.
But objectively speaking, the side of Arrizo 8 is still a little plain. In addition to the black wheels and front fender badges in some models, it is difficult to establish a personality recognition from its dive waistline to the side skirt surround. Compared with models such as Shadow Leopard, it is still a little plainer. However, as a compact sedan, the measurement of 4780/1843/1469mm and the wheelbase of 2790mm are still impressive. The key is that the rear of the car also has a fully blacked-out through-tail light and the squeezed ducktail. Combined with the three-zone brake bottom light surrounding the bumper , these detailed designs will still aggravate the sporty feeling of the vehicle.
Entering the cabin, it is actually a bit reluctant to say how creative the Arrizo 8 is. After all, these air conditioning decoration, push rod gear handle, and even one-piece dual LCD screens have been used up in the current independent market, but in the end, the interior level is still relatively high. More importantly, Arrizo 8 will add more metal parts to areas such as electric seat controllers, speaker speakers, etc., and are equipped with three-dimensional trim panels of different textures, as well as leather punched on the seats and soft bags with stitching on the door panels. If you say you want to compare those joint venture car that can cost more than 150,000 yuan, it seems that Arrizo 8 has a bigger chance of winning. Infotainment, Arrizo 8 has two 10.25-inch touch screens, while mid-to-high-end models are 12.3-inch. The former mainly uses HiCar/CarPlay to expand the entertainment function, and the latter is equipped with an intelligent networking system. In addition to retaining the mobile phone interconnection function, the Gaode map navigation, intelligent voice interaction, remote vehicle connecting control, etc. we often mention are not absent. Moreover, this system also goes further with additional cameras and sensors, allowing it to realize advanced interaction functions including gesture control and face recognition. It is equipped with a set of Sony audio with 8 speakers, and real-life navigation that can realize AR augmented reality technology. This Arrizo 8 does not really compete with any new forces, but is enough to use technology to stabilize the position of its own brands.
Of course, in recent years, Honda, Nissan , and Toyota have greatly upgraded assisted safety, which has enabled many of its models to achieve L2-level assisted driving. Now Arrizo 8 has also achieved this capability. From the beginning, it can be assisted by panoramic images and full-speed adaptive cruise. Its matching active braking, lane departure warning, etc. can also be used to improve the level of active safety.
In other configurations, the Arrizo 8 seats provide 4-way lumbar adjustment/ventilation/memory in the main seat, and the front row can be powered and heated, but they are not standard. In addition, the entire series of cup holders can be heated/cooled, with on-board ambient lights at the lowest level, and on-board ambient lights at the highest level, while automatic air conditioners with dual temperature zone control and air purification will be provided from the lowest level.
embarks on the road to the sports car market. Chery not only gives the appearance and interior design scheme, but also puts effort into power. In the engine compartment of Arrizo 8, we saw a Kunpeng powered 1.6T turbocharged engine. The maximum power of 145kW (197Ps) and the maximum torque of 290N·m of both surpass the Earth Dream 1.5T equipped in the new generation of Honda Civic .Although there is a difference of 0.1L in displacement, it is combined with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and its performance in dynamic output is still enough to make people ignore the extra displacement. In addition to the 6.5L/100km WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption data, the sporty feeling born from Arrizo 8 is obviously not just a saying.
written at the end
Chery this time saw the collective upward trend of Chinese brand cars, and also saw that domestic consumers' trust in their own brands is also deepening. At this time, the launch of the 100,000-level Arrizo 8 has a "good success if you fail". Even if you cannot become a best-selling car that can compete with the joint venture at the sales data level, it will become an important technical display. What's more, judging from the current strength of Arrizo 8, it has all the things that young people like, and its sportiness performance exceeds most joint venture cars of the same price. For this cost-effectiveness, its potential is still clearly visible. Looking back at the low-end configuration of the new generation of Civic , it seems that it is good to buy Arrizo 8 mid-to-high configuration.
