The road still has to be walked step by step, and the food still needs to be eaten bite by mouth. Although after these few days of inspection, Jin Xiaoqiang has understood the situation of the Japanese. He also wants to go back and quickly develop a new type of food.

The hybrid car came out, but the Paris Auto Show is not over yet, so he can only continue to be trapped here, waiting for the auto show here to end.

In fact, it's not that he can't leave the auto show early. After all, in the first few days of the auto show, after it starts, he has no important work, so he can choose to leave.

However, because he needed to examine the future direction of the automobile market, he chose to stay. However, his two-day stay also caused him a lot of surprises.

First, he got the news from General Motors, because the ecoboost engine has been on the market for a few years and has performed very stably in Qoros models and has been widely praised by consumers. Therefore, among the ecoboost 2.0 engines, there are also

The 3.5L V6 engine has been shortlisted and selected as this year's Ward's Top Ten Engines.

Huayang Power has more than one engine selected for this award this year. Their other 1.6L naturally aspirated engine installed on the Octavia model has also been selected for this year's Ward Top Ten.

If ecoboost can be selected as Ward's top ten, it would be understandable. After all, this series of engines has been a frequent visitor to Ward's top ten engines since its birth in 2008.

But Jin Xiaoqiang was a little surprised that this 1.6L naturally aspirated engine was selected. Of course, this is also due to the fact that this engine itself is very good.

However, Jin Xiaoqiang and other senior executives of the company were very surprised that this 1.6L naturally aspirated engine was selected into Ward's top ten, which is basically a world of large-displacement engines.

This time, this 1.6L engine was selected into Ward's Top Ten. The reason given by the American selection was that this engine has excellent performance in terms of noise and fuel economy.

Moreover, while this engine saves fuel, the power it can provide is not at all inferior to other engines of the same level.

It can provide ultra-high torque at low speeds, which is in line with the driving habits of modern urbanites. It can provide 104 horsepower at 5600 rpm, and 150 Nm of torque at 3800 rpm.

This kind of performance is definitely an outstanding figure among engines of the same level these days.

Other engines of the same level, unless they have been specially tuned, will only follow him and eat dust.

Of course Jin Xiaoqiang was very happy to receive such an evaluation, but at this time he could only silently feel sad for Volkswagen in his heart. Originally, this model of engine was developed by Volkswagen in order to be on the pq35 platform in 2004.

As more new models are released, a new model of engine is developed based on their fsi technology.

Later, this model of engine was used not only on Skoda, but also on Polo. It has always been a well-received engine.

Even the latest 1.6l engine launched by BMW's Mini in the following years was based on this engine and was developed as a copycat.

It is a pity that this engine was developed first by Jin Xiaoqiang in 2003, which is equivalent to directly cutting off an arm of Volkswagen.

No wonder Volkswagen has experienced an abnormal decline in the low-end car market in the past two years. This is also inseparable from the fact that Jin Xiaoqiang copied their engine.

Moreover, this engine originally had a reputation for being cost-effective, but now this reputation has been quietly taken away from Volkswagen by Jin Xiaoqiang and placed on the head of Huayang Power.

In the past two years, Huayang Octavia equipped with this engine has become a hot seller not only in China, but also in the world, and is also widely sought after by consumers.

Especially civilian consumers who don't have deep pockets. There are many such people in North America, Australia, and Europe. Octavia's reputation among these people is quite good.

This has laid a good foundation for this engine to be selected as this year's Ward's top ten engines. In addition, in the past year or two, German, Japanese, and American manufacturers have not launched new technology engines on a large scale, so this

This engine will have more opportunities to show its face.

Coupled with the unremitting public relations efforts of General Motors and Huayang Power, this engine was finally included in this year's Ward Top Ten selection.

The results of this year's Ward's Top Ten selection not only brought quite a surprise to Huayang Power and Jin Xiaoqiang, but also surprised other mainstream automotive media and car fans in the world.

The fledgling Huayang Power actually has three engines selected into Ward's Top Ten. This is definitely big news.

The past two days have entered the Paris Auto Show, which is open to the general public. These two days have become even more lively, especially at the booth of Huayang Power.

Although the French side was uneasy and kind-hearted, they arranged Huayang Dynamics in the No. 7 exhibition hall, which is the most remote and has the worst environment, but these cannot stop the enthusiasm of the majority of news media and car fans.

Originally, during the media open days in the first few days, the latest models and engine technology announced by Huayang Power one after another were enough to attract attention.

But who would have thought that in just a few days, three engines from Huayang Power would be selected into Ward's Top Ten in the United States.

Now, even some old-school European people and car fans who originally had prejudices against Huayang Power have become interested in Huayang Power. Everyone wants to see what is so surprising about Huayang Power.

place that allows them to achieve such results.

After they came to the scene and took a look, many of them were shocked. You must know that the K5 model, even after it was launched in 2011, was a beautiful model that was considered very sci-fi and shocking.

And now it is only 2005. In terms of car appearance design, many large car companies have just got rid of the square head and square head design that they have used for decades, especially the American and European car manufacturers.

But if their new models were compared to Huayang Power's K5, they would be useless in comparison.

The beautiful appearance full of sci-fi look, coupled with the car's amazing fuel consumption, and the starting price of 27,000 euros, all these make the consumers who come to visit feel overjoyed.

In fact, when setting the price, Jin Xiaoqiang had long discussions with many of the company's senior executives. Originally, Jin Xiaoqiang's idea was to make this car as civilian-friendly as possible.

However, many company executives disagree with adopting such a pricing method after inspecting the current European automobile market.

You must know that the K5 of later generations also faced the embarrassment of thinking too highly of itself at the beginning. When it was first launched, the price was a bit high. The result of this was that in addition to good sales results in South Korea, it also sold well in other parts of the world.

All sales results are mediocre.

Later, Kia also realized the mistake they made at the beginning. After adjusting the price several times, the sales of K5 gradually became popular.

But that was also because Kia's K5 of that era had a beautiful appearance, and there was nothing surprising about its powertrain.

But things are different now. The current K5, which belongs to Huayang Power, is equipped with the powertrain of Chuangchi Blue Sky Technology, which became famous all over the world as soon as it was launched in 2010.

As soon as this technology was launched that year, it was directly selected into Ward's top ten selections. Such a situation is rare in the decades-long history of Ward's top ten engine selections.

The technical content of the Huayang Dynamics K5 now equipped with such a powertrain is obviously much higher than the original Kia K5.

And that's still compared to the K5 five years later. It's only 2005 now. Compared with the current engines of the same level, the technological content of this kind of Creation Blue Sky technology is much higher.

Therefore, if the price of this k5 is set too low at this time, it will obviously be detrimental to the future development of this brand. So in the end, after discussing with the company's senior executives who came to the Paris Auto Show and the managers,

Only then did we finally set the price of the k5 at 27,000 euros.

In current Europe, this price can be included in the price range slightly above the mid-range, but it is still affordable for ordinary families.

You must know that the price of this car can be considered very cheap these days. The fifth-generation Golf launched by Volkswagen at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year started at 30,000 euros.

Moreover, the current Golf has been frequently exposed by various media due to problems with the dual-clutch transmission, but the Germans have been reluctant to lower the price for various reasons.

So compared with unreliable models like the Golf, this k5 still has considerable advantages.

Although the prices of Toyota's latest Camry and Honda's latest generation Accord are not as high as the price of the k5, the technical content of the current generation of their two cars is also not as high as the price of the k5, so

It’s only natural that this car is so popular.

Within a few days after it was opened to ordinary car fans at the Paris Auto Show, the K5 had already received no less than 20,000 orders.

These orders can be said to come from all over Europe. In France alone, no less than 5,000 orders have been received, and there are also many orders from Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Germany.

These orders are generally contributed by car fans who come to these countries to participate in the auto show.

While the new car K5 was a great success when it was launched, Jin Xiaoqiang also received interview requests from various news media. It was because of this selection of Ward's top ten, and more importantly because this time the entire world's cars

The industry has already recognized him as a talented designer from the East!
