Explore the new trends of China's 125-class scooter market.
Introduction. With the release of the 378th batch of new vehicle products announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's auto market has once again set off a wave of waves. In particular, the striking feature is a new car that looks identical to the Honda Lead125 but with an all-new engine that feels both familiar and unfamiliar. This article will delve into the birth background, technical characteristics and impact of this new car on the market, in order to reveal the new trends of China's 125-class scooter market.
First, the discovery of a new car.
In the announcement of new vehicle products released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a new car similar to Honda LEAD125 has attracted widespread attention. The appearance of this new car has baffled people because the Lead125 is already on the market. However, a closer look reveals that the new car not only looks close to the Lead125, but is also equipped with an all-new engine, giving a new visual experience. This feeling of "both familiar and new" makes one want to learn more about the ins and outs of this new car.
Second, the characteristics of the new car.
The new car looks similar to the Lead125, but is powered by a new engine called the WH150QMI with 7kW of power. This discovery sparked curiosity and concern about the car's performance. Further analysis showed that the design of the new engine was biased towards a low rev range, giving it better power performance. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with European-style design and the ABS system provided by Hitachi, making it more competitive in terms of appearance and safety performance.
3. Engine naming rules.
The engine model nomenclature rules reveal what makes it unique. In China, the model name of the engine is named with the brand name letter as the first and second digits, and the third digit represents the number of cylinders.
The fourth and fifth digits represent the cylinder diameter. Take the engine of the Lead125 as an example, it is named WH153MI, where "Wh" stands for Wuyang-Honda, and "153" refers to a single-cylinder engine with a 53mm bore. This rule provides convenience for us to interpret the engine model, and also shows China's efforts and achievements in standardization.
Fourth, power performance.
The design of the new engine greatly improves the dynamic performance of the vehicle. Compared to the LEAD125, the new car has more power output, and its 7kW power makes it perform better at the start and acceleration of overtaking. Moreover, the engine's design for a low-rpm power delivery also allows it to have better fuel economy in everyday urban stop-and-go scenarios. This all-round performance improvement brings consumers a more comfortable and convenient driving experience.
Fifth, the characteristics of the new car.
In addition to the engine update, the new car also adopts a European-style design, and is equipped with the ABS system provided by Hitachi, becoming Wuyang-Honda's first 125 small pedal with ABS. The addition of these features brings higher safety and driving comfort to the vehicle, and also provides consumers with more choices. At the same time, it also reflects the continuous improvement and innovation of China's automotive industry in terms of safety performance.
6. Market impact.
The launch of this new car marks a new change in China's 125-class scooter market. The introduction of the second-generation ESP engine will become the power core of many models and will have a profound impact on market competition. At the same time, other brands of small scooters will also face greater market competition pressure, and the market competition pattern may be reshuffled. This change in the competitive landscape will promote the healthy development of China's auto industry, promote technological innovation and upgrading, and bring more and better products and services to consumers.
VII. Conclusions. Through the analysis of this new car, we can see that the Chinese 125-class scooter market is constantly developing and growing. The introduction of new technologies has provided consumers with more choices and has also driven competition and innovation in the market. We look forward to the future, the vigorous development of China's auto industry, and the emergence of more innovative forces to bring better products and services to consumers. In this dynamic market, we believe that China's automotive industry will usher in a better tomorrow.
