BEIJING X3 is actually not a new car. It was officially launched last year, but because we have never photographed or tried this car, we will introduce it as a new car.
Appearance
In recent years, independent brands no longer need to worry too much about the appearance design. Even very cheap models will have a beautiful "face". The design of the BEIJING X3 is highly original and has a sense of fashion. It does not make people feel cheap because it is a car less than 80,000 yuan. It is still decent to drive it out.
In order to get rid of the inherent impression left by BAIC Saab and BAIC Motor, BAIC Motor adopted a brand new "BEIJING" logo.
The headlights and daytime running lights both use LED light sources. It can be seen that BAIC still has a deep research on the preferences of domestic consumers.
The side adopts the popular suspension car in the previous two years. The body measurements are 4325, 1830, and 1640mm, and the wheelbase is 2570mm. It is comparable to competing products at the same price, Baojun 510 and Tiggo 5X The body shape is similar.
The line level at the rear is relatively rich, and the lines are relatively tough, but the fashion is not as brilliant as the front.
tail lights are also full LED light sources.
The tires of our Honor PLUS model use 205/60 R16 Chaoyang tires, and the high-end models are equipped with 17-inch tires, and the style of the wheels should be more beautiful.
Interior
Open the door of the BEIJING X3, the compartment can still give people some surprises, the overall design and color matching are still very fashionable, especially Large area brushed metal panel with matt silver. If you look at this car in a static state, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a 200,000 SUV.
Although the price of BEIJING X3 is not expensive, and the real-shot Honor Edition PLUS is not a high-end model, the materials used in the cabin are a good interpretation of what it means to spend the budget on the blade, the interior Most of the materials are still made of hard plastic, but the areas that people often touch are still very intimately covered with leather.
Of course, due to cost constraints, the steering wheel can only be adjusted in two directions; the style of the instrument panel is also more traditional.
Its central control system design idea is similar to that of Baojun, except for many infrequent functions, such as simple navigation, Bluetooth, Carlife, air conditioning adjustment panel and dozens of functions, but in the UI The design of the screen and the selection of the screen material (matte) have been thoughtful. In this way, without the need for multiple high-definition screens and high-end processors, smoothness and beauty can be guaranteed. I think this idea is worth learning from other manufacturers.
Many commonly used function buttons and air conditioning adjustment buttons are designed as independent buttons, and some buttons have a touch design.
I think the configuration of this car is still good, it is equipped with body stabilization system, cruise control, electric sunroof, leather seats. For the home, I think these equipment is sufficient.
Spatial performance
BEIJING X3 seat I think needs to be improved, its seat posture is a bit high, especially equipped with two-way adjustment seats, for It’s not friendly enough for taller users; then the backrest of the seat is very hard.The actual package is also relatively general.
Space is an advantage project of BEIJING X3. Compared with Tiggo 5X, its vertical space is larger, and the head space in the back row is also more spacious, basically one family. There is no problem with people's daily household.
But the equipment level of the rear row is slightly lower, there is no air conditioning outlet, and no central armrest.
The space in the tail compartment is also very useful. In addition to a regular tail compartment, it also reserves space for odds and ends on both sides .
机械
In terms of power, BEIJING X3 has four power options, 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with 5MT or 4AT gearbox, 1.5T turbo The supercharged engine is matched with a 6MT or CVT gearbox. The Honor Edition PLUS we actually shot is equipped with a 1.5T+CVT version with a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm.
chassis adopts the common front and rear torsion beam structure of McPherson.
Summary:
From the short static experience, BEIJING X3 is not inferior to competing products such as Baojun 510 and Chery 5X in terms of design and configuration, including workmanship. And the space performance is also very good, but after all, it is a new product, compared with the Baojun 510, Chery 5X and other models that have some reputation in the market, it does not have an advantage. But if the budget prefers SUV models in this price range, I think it can be considered. Of course, these are only static conclusions. The specific dynamic performance still needs our follow-up test drive to draw conclusions.
