Finally, it's the car's turn, and the data acquisition car of Chery M 1E platform appears? It is expected to carry 1.5TGDI.

Nowadays, SUV has become the darling of the market, which most people could not imagine ten years ago, and has always regarded cars as the mainstream. However, the rapid changes in the market forced most enterprises to bow to the market and follow suit to develop corresponding SUV models to meet market demand. The worst is also the cross-border model and the misplaced development model. After all, surviving first is more important than anything else. However, this also forces most independent brand car companies to invest limited resources in the SUV field, while ignoring the concern in the car field. In fact, if you really look at the sales ranking, cars still occupy a lot of sales. It is precisely because of this that some companies are still insisting on developing cars. Chery, which once launched a variety of models in the car field, also followed the market trend and shifted its focus to the more profitable SUV field. At present, there are only two car classes, Arrizo 5 and GX. It can even be said that it is two different versions of a car. This completely unhealthy model obviously cannot last long. Realizing the problem, Chery finally turned its attention to the car. This is not the case. Recently, several old models of Ariza 7 have started the road test mode. It is probably the M 1E project that was rumored some time ago.

Since it is Arrizo 7, don't make too many associations in appearance, which belongs to the nature of the platform data acquisition vehicle. There may be some changes in the kernel part, but there is definitely no clue in appearance.

Compared with similar competing cars on the market at present, the advantage of Arrizo 7 lies in its four-wheel independent suspension, and it is still being improved. From Ariza 7 to Starrange LX, the suspension structure is constantly fine-tuned. The current version of Arrizo 7 may have an advantage when it first went on the market, but now it is obviously behind the times. Because of the angle problem, the suspension part can't be seen clearly, but the four-wheel independent structure is beyond doubt, but if the lower arm is changed, fine adjustment is possible. This part is really difficult to draw conclusions. The old Ariza 7 is only available in 1.5T version. Can the new model be adjusted? The most likely match is 1.5TGDI engine. If the speculation is true, the dynamic parameters will be upgraded to a higher level.

On the A-pillar on the driver's side of another test vehicle, it can be seen that the test data cable is led out from the engine compartment (circled in red in the above picture), so it seems that the possibility of involving the powertrain part is relatively high.

Note that the words "Test Vehicle Identification Plate" appear faintly behind the sign of the test vehicle. Although you can't see the relevant information, this signboard is very important, which indicates the identity of the test vehicle itself. Moreover, Ariza 7 has been stagnant for a long time, and now it suddenly appears, which has a lot to do with the M 1E project exposed in April last year. Of course, the final listing name is still unclear, so it is more likely to predict the new generation of Arrizo 7.

At the same time, there are two other white Arrizo 7 test cars in the above picture, which were taken together with the main picture. The appearance of three cars at the same time shows the problem, the purpose of the test is clear, and the destination has been determined as the northeast cold test. At present, it is certain that there is an opportunity before May 1, which can be regarded as catching the tail of the mountain test, and it can also show that the possibility that the platform data acquisition vehicle is a new powertrain is greatly increased. 1.6TGDI engine need not be in such a hurry. Only the brand-new 1.5TGDI is possible. The main reason is that the new engine must go through the test process of two winters and one summer. Now this is a preliminary test. After another thorough cold test in summer and at the end of this year, the whole project was basically completed. It can be inferred from this that the biggest possibility of M 1E project is to go public after cold test next year. Of course, it is easy to mention that this is only the initial test of the old version of the model, which has nothing to do with the model itself. If possible, it's not surprising to see the road test run a few months later (of course, in a state of heavy camouflage).
