Since its launch in 2009, Pentium B50 has achieved good market performance with its strong competitiveness. Today, the Pentium B50 has ushered in a new model, and the new car has undergone earth-shaking changes in terms of technology platform and shape design. This time, we brought the 1.6-liter automatic comfort model of the new Pentium B50 to see how this new car with a guide price of less than 100,000 yuan performs.
From the appearance alone, the new Pentium B50 still maintains a high degree of originality, and the new family-style design language makes the new car look younger. Thanks to the B-class platform of FAW's second-generation coupe, the body size of the new Pentium B50 has also increased in an all-round way compared with the old models.
The appearance is younger
The changes in the interior of the new Pentium B50 can also be called drastic. The symmetrical instrument panel does not have too many complicated designs, but it is not sloppy in the use of materials. The large-area soft plastic-lined material enhances the texture of the entire interior.
The interior is simple but the materials are solid.
The new Pentium B50 offers 1.6-liter naturally aspirated and 1.4-liter turbocharged engines. The 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine we tested this time has a maximum power of 84kW/5500rpm and a peak torque of 155nm/3800rpm, while the 1.4T engine has a maximum power of 104kW/4500-5500rpm and a maximum torque of 220nm. Matching the engine is a 6-speed automatic manual transmission from Aisin.
In daily driving, the power of this 4GB series 1.6-liter engine is only enough, and 114 horsepower is doomed that no matter how you drive, it will not bring you any passion. Especially when the engine is in the low speed range, the power of the engine will make people feel a little fleshy. When the speed exceeds 2000 rpm, it will improve, but it is far from strong.
Fortunately, the performance of the 6AT gearbox is satisfactory. After stepping on the accelerator deeply, the gearbox will immediately perform the downshift intelligently. When the engine speed is raised above 4000rpm, the dynamic response will be improved, and there is no problem in coping with the daily travel needs, but the noise from the engine compartment will be somewhat annoying at this time.
The chassis structure of the new Pentium B50 continues to adopt the combination of front double wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension, which is really eye-catching from the configuration. The overall training of this suspension should be tough, and the suspension system can provide a rich sense of road during daily driving.
However, from the point of view of comfort, this way of training will transmit the fine vibration on the road to the car, which will affect the comfort of passengers to a certain extent. In the event of a large bump, the suspension system is crisp and neat, and the body will not shake unnecessarily.
The power of the 1.6L engine is slightly weak.
◆0-100km/h accelerated test
In the acceleration test, the engine is allowed to start at 2500rpm, and the front wheel will slip slightly at the moment of starting. Due to the general power of the 1.6L engine, the whole acceleration process is uneventful, and the final measured acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 14.28 seconds.
◆100km/h-0 braking test
Although the acceleration performance is not ideal, the braking performance of the new Pentium B30 is still worthy of recognition. During full braking, the braking force output of B50 is relatively uniform, and the maximum G value exceeds-1.2g.. The suspension has a good support for the car body, and there is no obvious forward tilt of the car body.
◆ Test around piles
In the pile-winding test, the steering wheel of Pentium B50 is pointed accurately. Although the suspension system is still comfortable, it provides good support for the car body. The center of gravity of the car body shifts faster when winding the pile, but the car body's roll is still obvious because of the long suspension stroke.
Editor's comment:
As a China brand car that people have been familiar with for a long time, the new Pentium B50 has not only made drastic improvements in appearance design, but also has excellent interior quality and space comfort, which is bound to be among the best in the same level market. As for the dynamic performance, the Pentium B50 should not be a car that can bring you passion. Its duty is to send you and your family from point A to point B comfortably. From the perspective of daily transportation needs, the performance of the new Pentium B50 is still quite competent.
