FAW also has a turbocharged engine, Junpai T086 with "T" debuts, with a starting price of 70,000

There has always been a joke in FAW that the FAW Technology Research and Development Center cannot produce a turbocharged engine with 50 billion R&D expenses. But after Xu Liuping became the chairman of FAW Group, he disbanded the FAW Technology Research and Development Center and made a major change in FAW Group. Now, from the appearance of Tianjin FAW Junpai T086 equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, we can see that Xu Liuping's reform has indeed worked.

Junpai T086 is the first compact SUV under Tianjin FAW. Since the new car has not been officially named yet, T086 is just the internal code name of the new car. However, from the appearance design of Junpai T086, it is very similar to its own Junpai D60. It is expected that the official name of the new car should start with D, such as D70 or D80. The new car may be launched in the third quarter of 2018.

The Junpai T086 is designed by China FAW and a Spanish design company. From the front, we can see that FAW has really put a lot of effort into the design. The large area of ​​smoked black grille is decorated with a silver chrome strip running through the center grille, which is the finishing touch. The three-section front surround is full of three-dimensional sense and sporty atmosphere, coupled with the embellishment of sharp LED lights, most young people must find it difficult to resist such temptation.

At the rear of the new car, we see an integrated taillight design, which is often seen at the rear of luxury brands. This also greatly improves the grade of Junpai T086. Although the double-sided chrome exhaust below is only for decoration, it makes the rear more colorful and layered, echoing the front face.

Since the interior of Junpai T086 is not the final version yet, we can only speculate based on the previously exposed spy photos. It is expected to be equipped with a floating central control screen. Although the spy photos show that the interior is simple and fashionable, the front face design of the new car shows that the interior design will definitely add many youthful elements.

The new car will be equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 143 horsepower and a peak torque of 204 Nm. The engine will be matched with a manual and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 1.2T+7-speed dual-clutch is a common power combination on some compact cars of Volkswagen. It seems that after the establishment of FAW-Volkswagen, FAW has finally learned a lot. And from the data, the maximum horsepower of Junpai's 1.2T engine has exceeded the 131 horsepower of Volkswagen 230TSI (1.4T low power), and is comparable to Volkswagen 280TSI (1.4T high power).

Based on the price of Junpai D60, which is between 56,900 and 89,900 yuan, the starting price of Junpai T086 is likely to drop to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. This price is very cost-effective and will greatly enhance the market competitiveness of Junpai T086. It seems that this time, FAW, as the eldest son of the Republic, will set an example for major domestic brands.
