AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/29 Report--

The long-planned "domestic range Rover" finally. Ah, no, it was Hanlong finally announced the listing price, the new car positioning medium and large SUV, a total of eight models, the official guiding price of 15.98-243800 yuan, and the four-wheel drive version.

Hanlong Motor is a brand new brand with the logo "HUNKT". It is inextricably linked with Zhongtai Motor. Hanlong Automobile production base "Hubei Daye Hanlong Automobile Co., Ltd." is a branch of Zhejiang Zhongtai Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which earlier produced Zhongtai brand models. It is said that due to Zhongtai's depressed operation or strategic reasons, the car was finally entrusted to the new brand Hanlong Automobile to promote to the market.

In any case, Zhongtai Group launched another new brand "Hanlong" after Zhongtai, Hanteng and Junma brands, which can be regarded as another new attempt at a time when Zhongtai's brand development is not going well.

The reason why Hanlong is so eye-catching is that it draws lessons from the design elements of the range Rover, such as the overall body design, floating roof shape, side lines and so on. It may be very close to get an optional bag for less than 1/10.

From the point of view of appearance, the overall shape of Hanlong Kuangshi new car is square, and the front face adopts hexagonal big mouth air intake grille, and the horizontal visual effect of the car is broadened by horizontal chrome plating decoration. From the side point of view, the A/B/C/D column is treated with black painting to create a suspended roof visual effect, so there is also the shadow of Zhongtai T series SUV.

In terms of interior decoration, there are large-size central-controlled LCD screens with sizes of 10.25 and 12.3 inches respectively, as well as a lifting knob shift mechanism and other configurations, especially the use of "awkward" chrome decoration under the steering wheel.

In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4985/1995/1819mm and the wheelbase is 2997mm. At the same time, it will be available in 255Compact 55 R20 or 275 Universe 45 R21 tire sizes. In terms of power, Hanlong Kuangshi is equipped with a 2.0T engine of model TN4A20TDZ produced by Hubei Daye Hanlong engine Co., Ltd., with a maximum output of 218hp and a peak torque of 370Nm, which meets the national six emission standards, while the transmission system matches the 8-speed manual integrated transmission from Zaifu. In addition, the car also adopts the layout of front and rear drive or timely all-wheel drive.

Zhongtai Automobile in the "imitation" of the road to taste the benefits, followed by the birth of a large number of sub-brands, now the market environment has changed, Zhongtai has been beset with difficulties. The Junma brand was almost abandoned and shut down. Zhongtai Motors, due to financial problems, has also become a problem in the production of national six models, and dealers have no cars to sell. Under the leadership of the government, they got 3 billion yuan in rescue funds from local banks to put off the plight.

Zhongtai SR9 was very popular for a time, but now it has almost disappeared, leaving only a joke and black history, causing harm to the brand and even the entire Chinese car manufacturing industry. Hanlong, which has a certain shadow of Land Rover, will be successfully recognized by the market? Perhaps people who buy it pay more attention to the ratio of performance to price.
