AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/10 Report--

Since the replacement of the FAW Pentium brand and better marketing, with the launch of a number of new SUV models last year, sales have successfully increased by 33% compared with the same period last year. However, affected by the epidemic, the new Pentium has been greatly affected this year. In order to regain market competitiveness, the brand has also brought back brand-new sedan models.

As an old independent car company, FAW Pentium has launched a number of new products, including T77, T99 and other models, under the rapid updating of its product line to enhance its competitiveness, and has launched a number of new products, including T77, T99 and other models, but it is worth noting that the models currently on sale are only SUV models.

Due to the delisting of a number of old models in the car sector, no models are on sale at present, but in order to promote the development of the new brand, Pentium replaced its B-Class B70 and went offline today at a public pre-sale price of 10.99-149900.

In fact, the Pentium B70, as an earlier model under the brand, was put on the market in 2006, during which only one replacement was carried out. Due to the long duration of the previous model in the market and no replacement, the product power gradually lagged behind. The decline in sales has been suspended and delisted in 2018.

The launch of the new model can be seen as the return of the model, and as the first car model after the new Pentium brand. Due to the adjustment of brand positioning, the new car has undergone a "rebirth" change, as well as from the inside to the outside.

The new Pentium B70 uses a new family design, but in the eyes of netizens, there seems to be a sense of deja vu.

The appearance of the new car is similar to the new Pentium concept car, the former China net continues the current Pentium brand giant grille design, the interior is decorated with dot matrix chrome plating elements, and the center is the new LOGO of the Pentium brand. Connected with it is the Pentium brand chic headlamp group, the headlamp shape is also very Cadillac characteristics, and the latter's "tearful eye headlamp" is very similar.

In the rear, the new car uses a through taillight group design, with an inverted trapezoidal license plate at the bottom of the bumper. It is worth noting that the tail mark "Pentium" uses a special word. At the same time, the bilateral exhaust layout makes the car look more sporty.

In terms of the body size of the new Pentium B70, the length, width and height of the new car are 4810/1840/1455mm, the wheelbase is 2800mm, and the positioning is a medium-sized car.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car further strengthens the overall sense, and the interior layout angle which is slightly inclined to the main driving position can optimize the convenience of driver operation. The flat-bottomed steering wheel and electronic shift lever feel are more particular about the handle; the 12-inch LCD dashboard is integrated with the central control screen, making obvious progress in the sense of science and technology.

In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 124 kW and a maximum torque of 258 Nm. The suspension adopts the traditional front McPherson-type rear multi-link structure.

Although the new car has been exposed by real car pictures or spy photos earlier, the overall model design is also slightly similar to the Red Flag H9 under FAW. It is not difficult to see that there is a certain distinction between FAW Pentium and FAW Red Flag in the domestic market. FAW Red Flag will mark the high-end domestic market, while FAW Pentium through new changes will target domestic mainstream independent brands and mainstream joint venture brand models.

Judging from the current pre-sale price of the new Pentium B70, the new car will seize the car market through larger and richer technology and joint ventures with mainstream compact models, while it will also wait and see how the market will perform, such as Xingrui launched by Geely.

Although the FAW Pentium market grew strongly last year in the first year of the global car downturn, FAW Pentium is not as good as the FAW Red Flag brand of the same group in an environment where the epidemic has worsened the market this year. According to the data, sales of the Pentium brand in September were 5624, down 50.88 per cent from a year earlier. From January to September this year, FAW Pentium sold 62005 vehicles, down-18.65 per cent from a year earlier.
