AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/18 Report--

The Pentium B70, once a hot seller of autonomous medium-sized cars, was forced to stop sales and production because of weak sales. Recently, the new generation of Pentium B70 has reappeared in the declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which means that the new Pentium B70 will go on sale soon.

From the declaration picture, we can see that the appearance of the new Pentium B70 is a new design language, the front face lattice grille is very eye-catching, the middle is equipped with a new version of the Pentium logo, and the shape of the headlights is very chic and integrated with the front grille. In the rear part, the new car adopts through taillight group design and bilateral double exhaust layout, with Pentium letter LOGO at the same time.

As a medium-sized car, the length, width and height dimensions of the new car are 4810/1840/1455mm, wheelbase 2800mm, in line with its vehicle positioning. At the same time, the new car can also be equipped with hidden door handles, side cameras, large-size skylights and other optional configurations.

The appearance of the new generation Pentium B70 adopts a brand-new design language, but it is suspected of "plagiarism" by many netizens. According to netizens' comments, the headlights and front of the new Pentium B70 are very similar to Cadillac CT4 and CT5, and other parts of the new car, including rear and side, are also "plagiarized" from other brands. In response, some netizens said, "can you ask for some face?" , "Don't embarrass the domestic car", "the four are not like" …...

From the netizens' words, it is not difficult to see that there is no bright spot in the appearance of Pentium B70. From the appearance of the new car, in addition to the intake grille and logo, it is almost impossible to find a place related to the design style of the Pentium family, let alone the old Pentium B70.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 124kW, a peak torque of 258N ·m and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1L for 100 kilometers. It is expected to match a seven-speed double clutch transmission. As for the price, the price range of the old Pentium B70 2.0L is 9.98-119800 yuan, and it is inferred that the price of the new B70 should be around 100000 yuan.

With the comprehensive rejuvenation of the new Pentium, the sales volume of FAW Pentium has also increased. Sales of the Pentium brand rose 33 per cent to 120500 in 2019 and 13 per cent to 29447 from January to April 2020, according to the data. Affected by the epidemic, few car companies were able to achieve a cumulative year-on-year increase in sales in the first four months, but Pentium was able to grow against the trend, and it has to be said that the vitality of the new Pentium should not be underestimated.

In the context of the continuous improvement in sales of the new Pentium brand, FAW Pentium plans to launch another B70 model to restore its sales, but as soon as it was exposed, it was questioned by netizens that it "plagiarized" Cadillac, and the sales situation after listing remains to be seen. However, some netizens joked that if you can't afford a Cadillac CT4, you deserve Pentium B70.
