Pentium X80 exposure configuration six-speed automatic manual transmission

　　　　Following the exposure of the fake spy photos of the Pentium intermediate car B90, the spy photos of the test car of Pentium’s first SUV model have also been exposed again. This model will be released a little later and is expected to be officially listed early next year. Counting the original Pentium B30 model that has been classified into the Oulang brand, this is actually the third brand-new model of FAW Car’s own brand. (Image from Sina)

"Pentium X80 spy photos"

　　　　The Oulang model will be launched in mid-April, and the Pentium B90 mid-size sedan will be launched in the second half of this year. It is reported that this first SUV model, which will be launched early next year, will be named the Pentium X80 model after it is launched. The latest real-life spy photos show more detailed information such as the chassis suspension of Pentium’s first SUV model.

　　　　The Pentium X80 will be shared with the Pentium B70 on the vehicle platform, but it will be closer to the Pentium B90 on the configuration. From the spy photos of the chassis, we can see that the Pentium X80, the previous Pentium B70 and Pentium B50 models all adopt the same suspension structure as the old mazda 6, and the multi-link rear suspension structure has better comfort and driving control performance. However, as an SUV model, or a crossover model with a sedan platform, the rear suspension of the Pentium X80 is obviously heightened, which has an advantage over the sedan model in ground clearance.

　　　　The rear bumper can be seen at the rear, which will also reassure China consumers who pay more and more attention to these safety details. Two-in-one exhaust pipe does not mean that V6 engine is used, because there is such a configuration tradition on the Pentium B70 model, and in fact, it is also a design style that continues to mazda 6 exhaust pipe. Like most self-owned brand SUV models, the Pentium X80 must be a sedan-based vehicle platform. As an urban crossover model, the main feature will also be the power output structure of the front drive. However, it is reported that the Pentium X80 will also launch a four-wheel drive model.

　　　　In terms of configuration, the Pentium X80 is obviously closer to the Pentium B90 mid-level sedan, which is much higher than that of the B70 model. For example, it is equipped with a keyless ignition button and an electronic handbrake parking system. According to another news, on the basis of configuring DVD and GPS navigation system, the multimedia system may also have the function configuration of 3G communication network application platform. However, because there is no official news, the media has no accurate news about the power configuration of Pentium B90 and this Pentium X80 model.

　　　　However, one detail of this test car shows some information, that is, the gearbox of Pentium X80 is equipped with the same version as that of Pentium B90, that is, the six-speed automatic manual transmission. The Pentium B70 model is equipped with a five-speed automatic manual transmission from Mazda technology. This transmission has the same configuration as the Pentium B50, but the Pentium B50 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine from Volkswagen, but it is obvious that this engine can’t cope with the bodies of B90 and X80. However, it is not excluded that B90 and X80 models will choose to be equipped with engine systems from Volkswagen technology.

　　　　From the appearance of the car body, it can actually be seen that this is a crossover model with high ground clearance, and its car body part also has some car-like design elements, such as relatively flat car height and relatively streamlined car body outline. The front air intake grille is different from any previous Pentium car, and the thick air intake grille highlights the extensive atmosphere of SUV models. There is a round LED light group in the headlights, which should be the functional configuration of daytime running lights.

　　　　There is a hole for installing the luggage rack on the sealing strip of the roof, and it should be equipped with the roof luggage rack on the original high-profile model. Ordinary skylights are more common than panoramic skylights that have been configured for a new generation of joint venture brand SUV models like Hyundai ix35. Pentium X80 adopts a sleek and inclined tail contour design, which is similar to BYD S6. After all, the actual utilization rate of the upper space of the trunk is not high. Through such an inclined rear windshield design, the rear wind resistance can be greatly reduced.

　　　　The large-sized high-position spoiler tail can increase the subatmospheric pressure at the tail. The curvature of the rear windshield is very large, and the taillight group also adopts the LED light group design. The rear bumper is all surrounded by anti-scratch plastic, and the passive safety is fully guaranteed by adding a solid rear anti-collision beam.

　　　　Editor’s comment:Pentium X80 seems to be an integrated model, drawing on the excellent elements of many models, but the current news on power has not given many surprises.
