Spy photos of Roewe 350 low-profile models listed at Beijing Auto Show
SAIC’s brand-new entry-level model 350 will be officially rolled off the assembly line at Nanjing Pukou Factory on March 17th, and its price will be officially announced at the auto show that opened on April 23rd this year. After our repeated exposure, this model has gradually appeared clearly in front of us. Previously, two models with high and low configurations, 350D and 350C, have been exposed. Today, we are exposing a 350S model.
The appearance and interior of the S model are fully exposed. It can be seen from its streamlined configuration that this entry-level model will put more emphasis on practicality to ensure cost performance. From the configuration point of view, this is a low-profile model that has been exposed so far.
For example, the wheel hub is made of steel with plastic decorative cover, but the front bumper fog lamp as a safety configuration is not as stingy as some joint venture models. Of course, the comfortable configuration such as sunroof will not appear. In terms of interior, compared with the sporty black interior design of the 350D, the 350S adopts a two-color interior design with black upper part and beige lower part, separated by silver decorative strips.
Of course, comfort configurations such as DVD LCD screen, navigation, automatic constant temperature air conditioning and multi-function steering wheel on the 350D model have been replaced by lower configurations. The 350S model adopts CD audio to support MP3 and WMA formats, and can also synchronize the Aux-in external audio interface hidden under the storage compartment cover in front of the shift lever to connect to the portable player. The air conditioning control system is controlled by three manual knobs. Although the steering wheel lacks multi-function buttons, it also adopts three sports style designs with silver and black colors.
According to the previous official data, Roewe 350 will continue to build the concept of connected life, and apply the development achievements of 3G network and mobile communication technology to realize the network informatization of automobiles. From the dashboard of Roewe 350, we can see some clues. Although it is not as fancy as the 550 model, it only keeps the pointer-type engine tachometer, and other information is displayed digitally through a large-size driving computer screen. The console panel is also designed in silver, with a cigarette lighter and two exposed water cup holders on the back, but without the folding cover on the 350D model.
The circular air-conditioning outlets on both sides reflect the young and fashionable side of the 350 model, and the front door panel is also designed with a water cup holder to enhance its practicality. Compared with the leather seat of the previously exposed low-profile model 350C, the 350S adopts a light-colored fabric seat cover, and a storage grid is also designed on the inner side of the passenger seat backrest, which can be used to place practical driving items such as maps.
SAIC Roewe 350 includes two models, CSA7150MC and CSA7150AC, which represent a brand-new 15S4U four-cylinder naturally aspirated 1.5L VTi engine with a peak value of 78kW (106HP). It is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic manual transmission.
From the current exposure of vehicle configurations, including 350S, 350C and 350D, it is expected that there will be 5-6 models depending on the shape of the gearbox configuration, and there may be quite attractive starting prices. Let’s continue to pay attention to more news. (Text/thousands of miles)
