The overall shape is rounded and the crossover style is obvious. The rear of the car adopts a through-type taillight design, which echoes the front face.

2. Oil truck formation

1. All-new BMW X3

It is reported that the new generation BMW X3 will be officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show. While the exterior design is eye-catching, BMW Brilliance has also lengthened the wheelbase of the new BMW X3 by 110mm, making it fully comparable to the standard wheelbase version of the BMW X5.

Compared with the current model, the new model uses a special shape filling inside the double kidney grille. Not only that, under the decoration of the outline lights, the double kidneys of the new generation BMW X3 are sparkling, and the double L-shaped light group design on both sides is quite recognizable.

In terms of interior, it also follows the rhythm of the new generation BMW 5 Series. The classic gear lever shape has been cancelled and upgraded to a new dual-screen design, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 14.9-inch central display, and is equipped with BMW's new operating system.

The power system of the new generation BMW X3 has not been officially announced yet, but it is likely to use the current 2.0T engine, which is divided into high and low power versions, and can output a maximum power of 184/245 horsepower, and match ZF's 8AT gearbox. The high-end models will also provide xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system. As for the 3.0T inline 6-cylinder engine and diesel engine version equipped in other versions, they will not become the mainstream in the domestic market.

2. Cadillac XT5

After 8 years, the new generation XT5 has finally been replaced. It has made comprehensive and huge innovations in design, digitalization, comfort and other fields, which has attracted the attention and heated discussions of many netizens. The new car is expected to be officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show.

In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car continues Cadillac's iconic shield-shaped front grille, which is larger than the old model and is equipped with a split L-shaped headlight design, which is highly recognizable. At the same time, the overall design is fuller and more three-dimensional than the old model.

In terms of interior, the biggest highlight of the new car is its newly equipped 33-inch 9K curved screen, which connects the instrument panel and the central control screen into one, while also unifying the system and UI, greatly enhancing the sense of technology in the car.

In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4888/1957/1694mm and a wheelbase of 2863mm. It is also equipped with 20-inch wheels and red brake calipers, giving it a sporty feel.

In terms of power, according to the previously reported information, the new car will continue to be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a 48V mild hybrid system, a maximum power of 169 kilowatts, and a 9-speed manual transmission.

In terms of chassis, the new XT5 will be equipped with RTD electronic real-time damping adjustable suspension, Twin-clutch vector four-wheel drive system, and a customized Brembo high-performance six-piston brake system.

3. All-new Santa Fe

It is reported that the fifth-generation Santa Fe will be officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 30. The new generation Santa Fe has undergone a complete transformation in design, and the overall shape is also more majestic and tough. The front face is very square and original. The rear of the car adopts an almost vertical style, and the H-shaped taillight shape, combined with the Santa Fe logo, is highly recognizable.

The interior design of the new Santa Fe has been greatly improved compared to the current model, and is similar to the new Sonata to a large extent. However, in terms of details, the new Santa Fe has its own style, such as the thick four-spoke steering wheel, the wide center console, and the more powerful door handles, which all show the characteristics of Santa Fe as a mid-size SUV.

Unfortunately, the new generation Santa Fe has a significantly smaller body size than the current model, with only the height data increased. The new car has a length, width and height of 4830/1900/1780mm and a wheelbase of 2815mm. In this era of size inflation, the new Santa Fe does not seem to have any advantages.

In terms of seats, the new generation Santa Fe will offer three seat layouts: 5/6/7. While the vehicle length and wheelbase have been reduced, the space utilization of the new Santa Fe has been improved.

In terms of power, the new Santa Fe will be equipped with a 2.0T engine and an 8AT gearbox as standard. This power combination is common in this level of cars. Compared with the current model, the maximum power of the new model has increased by 13 kilowatts to 182 kilowatts. To be honest, the power of Korean cars is quite good now, whether in terms of performance, fuel economy, or stability.

4. The fourth generation Changan CS75

The fourth-generation Changan CS75 will make its debut at the upcoming Chengdu Auto Show. The new car has undergone multiple upgrades in appearance and interior configuration, and its body size has also been increased, showing a stronger sense of technology and sportiness.

In terms of interior, the biggest highlight of the new car's cockpit design is the 37-inch triple screen that connects the instrument panel, central control screen and co-pilot screen. The car system will also be equipped with AI large model and mobile phone seamless interconnection function, adaptable to more than 20 mainstream applications, and the number of applications can be continuously expanded with the upgrade of the car system.

The biggest change comes from the upgrade of driving assistance functions. The new car will be equipped with L2 intelligent cruise assistance system as standard, integrating 11 intelligent driving functions such as intelligent cruise assistance, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, etc., as well as APA5.0 valet parking + parking space memory assistant, supporting one-touch parking inside and outside the car, 50-meter tracking reverse, parking space memory assistant and other functions.

In terms of power system, the new car has not changed much. It still uses the independently developed "Blue Whale Power" 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 141 kilowatts and a peak torque of 310 Nm. The transmission system uses Aisin's 8AT gearbox.
