The 2019 Chengdu Auto Show officially opened today after the newly exposed Jianghuai hatchback sports sedan, code-named A432, was finally unveiled, officially named Jiayue A5, and is scheduled to go on sale in the fourth quarter.

It is understood that as the first car produced by Jianghuai Volkswagen, the Jiayue A5 was designed by Daniele Gaglione, the chief designer of Jianghuai Italian Design Center, and once served as the design director of Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Chrysler, so there is no sign of Maserati in front of the car.

The new design language makes the new car look more sporty, with a hexagonal flat front grille, a straight waterfall vertical grille inside, and chrome strips on the periphery of the grille connected to the headlights.

In terms of appearance, the new car uses a newly designed "waterfall" three-dimensional grille, which is connected with the headlamp through the outer chromium-plated strip, stretching the horizontal visual width without losing tension. On the side, the undulating streamlined body skyline extends from the front to the rear, outlining the back shape and forming a spoiler tail. The distinct levels of through-tail lights, hatchback tailgate design, and cylindrical double-row air holes and double five-spoke spokes also further highlight the sports style of the whole car.

As a brand-new car made by Jianghuai, the interior style of the new car has also been greatly upgraded, with the now popular simple style, and the two-color center console with vertical central control screen makes people feel very fashionable. It is understood that the new car will provide two main colors of black and gray and brown, in which the black and gray interior uses imitation fabric leather material on the center console and door decoration, and uses double sewing technology.

In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with a vertical central control screen, a newly designed stopper, one-button start, electronic handbrake, automatic parking and other functions, and a number of storage spaces are designed for mobile phones, water cups and cards. Among them, the central vertical central control screen adopts touch design, cancels the physical buttons in the central control area, has a full sense of science and technology, and enriches the intelligent entertainment experience at the same time.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and meets the sixth national emission standards. In terms of transmission, it is matched by a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. In addition, the rear suspension of the car uses an E-type four-link independent suspension and the front suspension uses a McPherson independent suspension to enhance the ride and driving experience of the car.

In the Chengdu International Auto Show, which is full of economic and family cars, whether it can attract consumers to really pay attention to the purchase of vehicles, the most important thing is the product quality and brand premium. Jianghuai Jiayue A5 can be produced by Jianghuai Volkswagen. Will improve its product quality and brand sense at the same time. It can not be seen that the Jiayue A5 is qualified to challenge the popular models of its own brands.
