Strengthening the development of self-owned brands is still the development strategy of Changan Automobile, one of the four major car companies, to catch up with the leading team. In addition to independent brands such as Yat moving, Yuexiang V5, CS35, Rui Sheng and other cars of various levels, as well as SUV models full bloom, the traditional advantages of micro-vehicle will also increase the support of new vehicle research and development efforts. Because Changan has integrated Hafei and Changhe in the field of microcars, the gap between the leading Wuling brand and total sales has not diminished.
In the field of commercial vehicles, Changan has released the high-end micro-car Uno that has entered the small MPV market, and is currently testing new replacement models of the Chang’an Star. The other is the F101 model that began to extend to the traditional passenger car. After multiple exposures, the camouflage of this Changan F101 has been gradually reduced, and more details have become clear. Whether it is the body structure or chassis suspension, it is different from the traditional micro-car models.
Changan F101 The development of the F101 is entirely based on the car platform, former McPherson, rear torsion beam. However, the reason why they chose to stay in the commercial vehicle sector rather than in the area of ​​self-owned brand cars may be mainly based on the future market and positioning. The use of commercial vehicle brands is undoubtedly aimed at the low-end practical needs of the general grass-roots market. Meet the dream of district and rural users to buy a car.
Changan F101 Changan F101 has a sedan-like vehicle platform and controls, but it is also superior to the existing two-box sedan design in terms of space. The large space can well take care of the combined needs of passenger and cargo transportation. As we have previously analyzed the air grille style that resembles Yangge, the test vehicle has completely exposed the design of the Chinese part of the net. The large chrome-plated decorative plate is the logo of the Chang'an commercial vehicle, surrounded by a U-shaped intake air inlet. . The adjacent headlights are also very designed for the sedan, the contours of the outside are clearly defined, and the chrome-plated decorative outer ring is added to the headlight lens.
Changan F101 The more ventilated air intake function of the front engine compartment is achieved through the lower air intake grille on the bumper. The long light bar on the bumper integrates the functions of the front fog lamp and the turn signal lamp. The silver frame lines are joined together on the lower grille. The drum brake system of the front disc rearrangement system may be cheaply equipped with a steel hub and plastic trim cover to ensure low economy of the threshold.
Changan F101 Although there is no sunroof on the roof, it is also designed with raised outlines, full body size, windows with chrome trim, sedan-style side-opening design, the tail is also trying to outline the uneven on the overall comparison of the plane of the Founder Distinctive lines, raised taillights and recessed trunk planes are also common designs on cars in recent years. The chrome trim on the side windows continues to the underside of the rear windshield, and there is also a large chrome finish over the license frame.
Changan F101 There is no wiper installed on the rear windshield, and it can be seen that the Changan F101 strives to reduce the cost of the economic configuration standards. The black guard plate under the rear bumper is flanked by triangular red reflectors embedded in a silver ornament box, and the double exhaust duct feels, reflecting the low positioning of the F101, but it has a good aesthetic design level.
Changan F101 The interior of the car is also a fully-designed level for passenger cars, with a grey dashboard panel and acoustic panel for the piano lacquer, reducing the heavy plastic texture of the low-end models. Although there are no multi-function buttons on the three steering wheels, the texture and design are quite good. They are decorated with chrome rings and spokes. Although the audio system does not have a CD function, it is only a function of a radio and an external MP3, but it does not feel inferior because of this, but the integrated control panel is highly aesthetically pleasing.
Changan F101 The chrome-plated decoration on the knobs, including the audio and air conditioning systems, reflects the fact that the F101 model has already surpassed the micro-vehicle level of traditional commercial vehicles in detail design. The cup holder is designed in front of the gear lever. To ensure space in the vehicle, the door panel is designed to be very thin, with only a small storage compartment, and it can no longer accommodate cups, but it still guarantees the configuration of the four-door electric windows.
According to the news, this home-based mini vehicle will use a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine and a five-speed manual transmission. The main price range will be controlled at around 4-5 million yuan. In the area of ​​commercial vehicles, the introduction of car-like vehicle models is actually a new battleground for commercial vehicles and the expansion of enclosures in “encircling the cities in rural areasâ€.
