The annual Los Angeles Auto Show is always held at the end of the year, so is 2019. Compared with the bustle, the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show is a bit cold, and the first new car seems to be far away from us, but this city in California on the west coast of the United States is still showing us the unique charm of Uncle Sam. So what are the interesting points of 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show? The observation of this auto show will let us enter this unique and exotic auto show. Quickly understand the key points of this article: the Los Angeles Auto Show was first opened in 1907 in a skating rink with only 99 cars on display. With the development of automobile industry, the venue of auto show has been changed many times to meet the growing demand of suppliers. At the 1929 auto show, a short-circuit in one of the aircraft exhibits caused a fire that destroyed the entire site, causing more than $1 million (about $15 million in 2019 dollars) in damage and no injuries. The Los Angeles Auto Show, which has suffered a lot, has not been depressed since then. Its brands and scale have been gradually expanded, and its influence has been further increased. Up to now, this long history auto show still has an outstanding position. There are 35 brands participating in the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, compared with the 2019 Guangzhou Auto Show held in the same period. Among them, American brands cover,,, Dodge, GMC, Bollinger motors, etc., accounting for about a quarter of the share. In addition, European brands (such as,,, Fiat, etc.) and Japanese brands (such as,,, etc.) are also exhibited. As for the number of the first new cars, although there are only more than 40 models, they cover a variety of models of different brands, with rich diversity. In addition, the Los Angeles Auto Show, which once had a single exhibit, not only has more exhibitions of refitted cars, but also we can always find some interesting things in different brand stands. Like E-sports? ADC player doublelift, winner of the 7 North American LCS competitions of the League of heroes, will appear at the Honda booth; want to feel the charm of baseball? The Chevrolet stand can try the thrill of a virtual home run; want to bring a furry little buddy home? The booth has the service of adopting stray pets. Los Angeles Auto Show is becoming more and more humanistic. Not only car lovers, but also more people with other hobbies are welcome to visit the show. Compared with European auto show which has declined slightly in recent years and Tokyo auto show which has a strong regional character, the former Los Angeles Auto Show is always a long time / the first launch of luxury cars. However, affected by the rising China auto show, manufacturers choose to show more of their own movement elements in Los Angeles Auto Show, and retain the luxury elements to China for release. In the exhibition stand, many manufacturers have set up driving simulators, which attracted a lot of audience to queue up and play. On the eve of Los Angeles Auto Show 2019, foreign media speculated that Mercedes Maybach GLS, the main luxury brand, would be launched in Los Angeles Auto Show, but the editor of Auto Home News Group guessed that the new car fair The two auto shows will be released at the same time, and it is likely to appear in Guangzhou auto show. The final result is AMG GLS 63 and AMG GLE 63, which are unveiled at the Losangeles auto show, and Mercedes Maybach GLS appeared in Chinese mainland. When it comes to Mercedes Benz, BMW is indispensable. In the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, BMW has brought 2 series of Gran coupe, M2 CS, M8 Gran coupe, X5 m, X6 m, mini JCW GP and other first models that emphasize sports and performance. As for Audi, which belongs to the same German line, its share in the United States is not high, but it quietly brings new s8l, RS Q8 and other performance vehicles. In terms of "Mercedes AMG GLS 63", "BMW m8gran coupe" and "brand new Audi s8l" Japanese brands, Subaru, which has been deeply involved in the North American market, has brought WRX / WRX STI white limited edition. The position of the two white demons looks rather low-key, but on the side is Honda's stand, which is a bit of a tit for tat with civic type-r. As for the old American manufacturer, dodge has launched a 50 year limited edition for its classic muscle car, the challenger, which has attracted countless believers with large displacement and multi cylinder. "White special edition of Subaru WRX STI", "50th anniversary edition of Dodge Challenger", "Toyota RAV4 prime (plug-in hybrid Edition)", "product bulletin board seen everywhere in Los Angeles Auto Show" in terms of new energy vehicles, electrification has become an irreversible trend in the global market, the same is true in Los Angeles Auto Show. However, compared with the mass-produced electric vehicles / entry-level vehicles in China and Europe, proud and stubborn Americans still seem to maintain an attitude of observation on new energy vehicles. From the launch of new energy vehicles at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, we can see that most of the new energy vehicles in the U.S. market stay in the field of luxury brands / concept vehicles. Although there are more than 10 new energy vehicles launched, pure electric vehicles are only available It accounts for about half of the total. Although there are several popular models like Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid and new IONIQ, the total number of mass production vehicles with ground gas is still very small. "Cybertruck" and "everyone is still talking about the appearance of new cars, Dubai police have announced that cybertruck will join their police car camp." the action of new forces in car building is not small. Tesla, who is not in the exhibition hall, chose to hold a press conference on the evening of November 21, us time. They brought a huge pure electric pickup truck, cybertruck, which was also released by Tesla The seventh model of mass production. This huge pickup truck is nearly 6 meters long. The overall design is very "cyberpunk". The rigid body can hardly find any extra decorative lines. In terms of performance, the acceleration time of 0-100km / h is only 2.9 seconds for the model with three motor and four-wheel drive. At present, the vehicle has three endurance versions: 250 miles (about 402 km), 300 miles (about 483 km) and 500 miles (about 804 km). "Friends who have played Tomb Raider, is cybertruck a little familiar with its design? "Distribution map of American netizens' preferences for Tesla cybertruck" and the shape of the wonderful flowers and the broken glass event at the conference made the car a global topic in a short time. American netizens also had a crazy discussion on the social platform. From the collected results, netizens from the west coast and northeast states rated cybertruck the best, Illinois and Missouri Netizens from Louisiana, Alabama, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado also like cybertruck, but netizens from the central region don't seem to like the design of new cars. "Karma SC2 concept car" and "karma revero GTS" are very small manufacturers. Karma released two models at the Los Angeles Auto Show at one stroke, namely, the SC2 which locates the new pure electric super running concept car and the revero GTS which locates the super running. The former electric drive system has a maximum power of 1088ps (800KW), a peak torque of 14000n · m (yes, you can see it right), and an acceleration time of 0-96km / h of only 1.9s; the latter is the performance version of karma revero. Its power system consists of a BMW 1.5T three cylinder engine and two motors, while the fuel engine does not participate in the power output. The maximum power of the double motor system of the rear axle of the car is 543ps (400KW), and the acceleration result of 0-96km / h is 3.9s. "Bollinger B1 (right) and Bollinger B2 (left)" American start-ups Bollinger also brought new Bollinger B1 and Bollinger B2 models at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. The two models are pure electric pickup trucks and pure electric pickup trucks. Hard retro is the design style of the whole car, a little military version of the car. The power and power battery parameters of B1 and B2 models are the same. They are equipped with dual motors with a maximum power of 615ps (452kw). The acceleration time of 0-96km / h is 4.5s, the maximum speed can reach 161km / h, and they are equipped with a power battery pack with a capacity of 120kwh. The new car will start production in 2020 and is scheduled to be officially delivered in 2021. Although we can see a variety of models emerging in an endless stream at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the same cannot be ignored is the high occupancy of pickup trucks in the United States. For example, Toyota, Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep and other brands all choose to display a large number of pickups in the golden position of the exhibition stand. In fact, there is a reason why the American people prefer pickup trucks and large displacement engines. "There are still more than enough luggage for 8 people left by the rented Chevrolet solo de Picasso on this business trip." although the United States is one of the most powerful developed countries in the world, it has a large population and a large share of agricultural products exports. A Picasso that can pull goods and hold people and has a lot of power is just the same for farmers. The huge cargo compartment can hold a variety of goods. The four-wheel drive system can deal with the muddy road. The powerful torque output can pull the RV and take a family to a self driving tour. "The entry-level Chevrolet sorod model provides 4.3L V6 power." in terms of power, the naturally aspirated engine with simple structure and easy maintenance has mature technology and low failure rate. The relatively loose emission regulations in the United States also make the large displacement self-priming engine have a living space. In contrast, the structure of small displacement turbocharged engine which is restricted by strict emission regulations in Europe and other places is complex and its failure rate is higher. Once there is a problem, the high cost of labor will definitely make the car owners suffer. "When hip-hop fans on the west coast of the United States meet pickups, there is a dub style modification. Huge wheels have a super high degree of identification." what? Do you think the old engine parameters are not good? It's OK. There are displacement and cylinder to collect. The cheap price of gasoline also makes the giant starting from 15L / 100km fuel consumption in these cities gallop at will. Even in California, where high-tech enterprises gather and have a more open attitude to new technologies, the penetration rate of electric vehicles seems not so optimistic, but there are not a few "big V8" whistling around when the green light starts. Although Los Angeles Auto Show is not among the "top five international auto shows", we can still see a variety of new cars. Compared with the slightly decadent European auto show and the over regional Tokyo auto show, the Los Angeles Auto Show has more sports and performance styles, and has a distinct difference from the Chinese auto show, which is gradually moving towards luxury and comfortable style. As for new energy, the trend of electrification has also come to the North American continent, and manufacturers from all countries have brought their own new energy vehicles. However, stubborn Americans still seem to like large displacement engines and pickup models, and the "harmony but difference" is also spreading in the exhibition.
