● New car features
Appearance: the front face style is completely new.
As a mid-term redesigned model, the new wing beat is equipped with a family-style air intake grille similar to the new one, and the large-mouth middle net is also equipped with a banner chrome-plated strip. Depending on the configuration, the front details of the new car will also have a variety of styles. In addition, the high-profile models are equipped with 17-inch wheels, which are matched with tires with specifications of 205/50 R17.
In the rear part, the overseas version of the new wing beat cancels the external spare tire, while the domestic model keeps it and redesigns the spare tire cover, and the rest has not changed much compared with the current model. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4345/1785/1659mm, which is 2530mm, which is only slightly changed compared with the current model.
Interior: the changes are also considerable, more textured and innovative.
In terms of interior, the new domestic wing beat also follows the design of the new overseas version. The new three-spoke type is consistent with the contour, and it is equipped with shift paddle function. The dual barrel instrument on the current model is replaced by a simple dual disc instrument, and the middle instrument can display more vehicle information. In addition, the 8-inch floating LCD screen in the center of the center console is equipped with the latest SYNC 3 system of Ford model, which has more comprehensive functions.
Configuration: Body stability system is standard, with outstanding safety configuration.
The six models of the new wing beat are divided into three configuration levels: fine airfoil, platinum airfoil and respect airfoil. First of all, in terms of external configuration, the new wing beat airfoil comes standard with halogen headlights, external spare tires and 16-inch steel wheels; On this basis, the platinum airfoil has added front fog lights, one-button lifting of the main driving glass, roof rack and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The wing profile is further added with chrome-plated front grille, external rearview mirror heating, skylight, keyless entry/one-button start.
In terms of internal configuration, the new wing beat comes standard with fabric seats, manual air conditioning, and 4/6 split and down rear seats. On this basis, the platinum airfoil has the functions of glove box refrigeration; The top wing profile provides a leather steering wheel, a 4-inch dashboard display, automatic air conditioning, a leather handle, a glasses case, a lumbar support, etc. In addition, the 1.0T/2.0L top model is further equipped with leather seats and automatic anti-glare interior rearview mirrors.
In terms of multimedia configuration, the low-profile precision airfoil comes standard with four speakers, USB+AUX interface, dual 12V power supply and other basic equipment; The platinum airfoil adds a central control system with a 9-inch screen and navigation, and at the same time adds steering wheel audio control and dual USB interfaces. Zun Wing is equipped with a 7-speaker audio and an 8-inch central control SYNC 3 that supports the simultaneous display of the dashboard.
In terms of safety configuration, the new wing beat comes standard with body stability system, traction control system and ramp assist. The platinum airfoil adds side airbag, side air curtain, reversing radar and image; The Zun wing has added emergency call service, in which the 2.0L top model has exclusive tire pressure monitoring, cruise control and front parking radar.
In addition, consumers can also add optional packages for the new wing beat, in which the fine wing can be equipped with the same 9-inch central control navigation system (including reversing images) as the platinum wing; Platinum airfoil can be equipped with xenon headlights +LED daytime running lights; 1.0T automatic wing profile provides the option of trunk pad; The 2.0L automatic wing-type model also provides an additional sports kit.
Power: Abandon the dual clutch completely and add 2.0L+6AT+ four-wheel drive models.
In terms of power, the new wing beat provides three kinds of power to choose from: 1.5L/1.0T/2.0L, the maximum of which is 120 HP, 125 HP and 170 HP respectively, and the peak values are 150 Nm, 170 Nm and 202 Nm. In terms of transmission system, the 1.5L model is matched with 5-speed manual or 6-speed, while the 1.0T/2.0L model only provides 6-speed automatic gearbox. It is worth mentioning that the 2.0L model is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system and a rear multi-link, and this is the first time that Wing Bo has launched a four-wheel drive model.
● Test drive experience
My colleague, Hong Bingqing, has already conducted a test drive on the new Wingbeat 2.0L model. He said: "Wingbeat 2.0L already has good power when the speed is close to 2000rpm, and the feeling of pushing back is not strong, but the shift speed is relatively fast and the power output is relatively continuous, which is inseparable from the good performance of 6AT gearbox. But this car is not without shortcomings. I can still feel some setbacks at low speed, but it is much stronger than the dual clutch. "
In terms of steering and control, Hong Bingqing believes that the new wing beat basically meets the characteristics of low-speed steering, light/high-speed sinking, proper virtual position, linear throttle braking force, and easy to use/control. However, there are also some shortcomings, for example, the new car’s cornering roll control is relatively general, and the driver’s confidence is insufficient when cornering. Another point is that the brake foot feels a bit astringent.
Because the test drive section is a road, there is no chance to use four-wheel drive, so Hong Bingqing failed to experience this multi-chip system, and we will conduct detailed tests after getting the test car. In terms of sound insulation, the new wing beat is more satisfactory. At the speed of 80-90km/h, as long as the road conditions are not rough asphalt particles, the new car can control the road noise well, and if the driver treats the throttle gently, it will not make a hoarse sound.

● New car background
"2013 Wingbeat"
Wing Bo can be said to be one of the "veteran models" of joint venture brand cities. In 2012, the domestic wing beat was launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show, but the final listing was still slightly later. The current Wing Beat offers three power systems: 1.0T+5MT, 1.5L+5MT and 1.5L+6DCT. In 2014, the sales volume of Wing Beat reached its peak, and the monthly average exceeded 7,000 vehicles/month. However, with the listing of more joint venture brand small SUV models since 2014, the market of Wingbeat has gradually been carved up and eroded. On the other hand, due to the small audience of manual transmission models, and the dual-clutch gearbox that has been abandoned by most Ford models has been criticized, the sales performance of Wingbeat is also declining year by year.
After experiencing hot sales and decline, Wing Bo finally ushered in a mid-term change. The new car reloaded into battle has a more mature appearance and excellent configuration. At the same time, the power system has been completely updated, and its comprehensive competitiveness has made great progress.
● Competitors
Buick Angola

With reference to car home Big Data, consumers will pay more attention to small SUVs of joint venture brands such as Buick Angola, Chevrolet Chuangkuo and so on when considering buying Wingbeat. In addition, the China brand represented by H6 and H6 is also the object that consumers consider more. At this price, consumers’ choice of SUV models is quite rich.
● Summary
In addition to the improvement of internal and external face value and texture, the new wing beat has also been upgraded for configuration, but the most attractive thing is the overall improvement of the power system. Previously, Ford’s dual-clutch gearbox was criticized, which also limited the sales of this model to some extent. After the automatic transmission model is fully replaced with 6AT gearbox, the dynamic performance of the wing beat is more satisfactory. Coupled with the standard of the vehicle stability system and the blessing of the high-equipped model SYNC 3 system, the comprehensive strength of the new wing beat has been greatly improved. In addition, the addition of the 2.0L four-wheel drive model has also expanded the "combat radius" of the new wing beat.
However, the current small SUV market is also very "ferocious". Under the siege of a number of current hot-selling models, the new wing will also face the domestic launch of new products such as,, and next year. Therefore, the burden on the shoulders of the new wing beat is not light, and we also expect it to perform better. (Text/car home)
