節目摘要 這週台灣車壇話題延續上週熱度。Kia Sportage TNCAP 兩星事件持續延燒,台灣森那美起亞發出正式聲明,但消費者反應仍相當激烈,背後涉及亞太規格車型配備差異的根本問題。Nissan X-Trail 國產輕油電小改款正式上市,更值得關注的是裕隆日產在這次記者會上釋出明顯不同於以往的品牌轉型訊號。紅海電動車出口版圖持續擴張,Model B 右駕版偽裝測試車在澳洲高速公路現身,紅海與三菱扶手的合資公司 Fuso Bus 也正式公布名稱與 logo,攜手進軍全球電動巴士市場。 本集重點 / Episode Highlights 這集從一場安全評鑑風波的後續追蹤談起,觀察台灣進口車規格差異的結構性問題,接著解讀一場別具意義的新車記者會,最後聚焦鴻海電動車技術輸出的最新進展。 ⚠️ Kia Sportage TNCAP 兩星事件後續:台灣總代理正式說明:台灣森那美起亞確認,受測的 2025 年式為小改款前版本,且不論改款前後,韓國原廠在亞太市場規格設定中均不提供後座安全帶預縮裝置與後座側邊氣囊,即使代理商願意加價採購也無法勾選。韓國原廠表示,由於亞太規格的線束、控制元件與車身結構均與歐規有別,現有車型無法以事後加裝方式補齊這兩項配備。台灣森那美起亞表示將積極爭取原廠建立獨立台灣規格,但實現最少需要一年以上時間。作為補償,2022 至 2027 年式已交車車主及現有訂單買家,均可享終身免費全車安全系統檢測及原廠保固延長至七年不限里程。 🔍 TNCAP 制度的更大意義:這次事件首次以具體數據呈現台灣進口車規格與歐規版本的差距,是 TNCAP 制度存在的核心價值所在——不是決定一台車能不能上市,而是讓消費者看到通過安審之外更真實的安全防護等級差異。小捲也指出,同週上市的新年式 Jimny,台灣代理商趁機主動補齊 ACC 配備並升級中控系統,且售價維持不變,是一個積極回應市場期待的反向示例。 🚗 Nissan X-Trail 國產輕油電小改款正式上市:裕隆日產自主設計外觀與內裝細節更新,外型盡量向海外版本靠攏。配備層面大幅升級,雙 12.3 吋數位座艙升級全車系標配與 HUD 抬頭顯示器列入頂規標配,通風座椅也下放至中階車型。價格方面,客貨車版本搭配舊換新補貼後入門可壓至 89.9 萬元,小客車認證版本入門 104.9 萬元、中階 119.9 萬元、頂規 128.5 萬元,最多可享合計 10 萬元貨物稅減免。 🎯 Nissan X-Trail 記者會:品牌轉型訊號更值得關注:這次記者會的佈置、簡報設計與現場氛圍明顯有別於過往重規格的產品說明會,改以「訴說品牌故事」為核心,以日式精緻感包裝 X-Trail,並規劃在全台九家展示中心導入精品家具、藝術掛畫與 Nescafé 咖啡機,打造有別於傳統國產車展間的體驗氛圍。小捲分析,這背後是裕隆日產有意識地為未來以進口車為主的產品線——包括 X-Trail e-Power 小改款、Kicks e-Power 大改款、Nissan Z、Qashqai e-Power 及新一代電動車——提前建立支撐進口車價位帶所需的品牌高度。 🔋 鴻華先進 Model B 右駕版偽裝測試車澳洲現身:澳洲汽車媒體 Drive 在高速公路上拍到一台與 Baojun Ba 高度相似的偽裝測試車,車尾燈組、C 柱側面線條、前輪拱空力開口等設計語言均與台灣版 Model B 如出一轍,僅頭尾燈組部分細節改為橫向水平導光設計。小捲推測此車很可能就是鴻華先進為三菱 Mitsubishi 開發的右駕量產版,車型定位對應原三菱 ASX 跨界休旅級距,預計今年第四季正式交付給 Mitsubishi,進軍澳洲與紐西蘭市場。 🚌 紅海 × 三菱扶手合資公司「Fuso Bus」正式公布:雙方各持股 50% 的合資公司命名為 Fuso Bus,logo 以 F 與 B 字樣拼成菱形,採接近鴻海識別色的藍色。合作範圍涵蓋電動巴士與燃油巴士,以鴻華先進現有 Model T 大型電動巴士及 Model U 中型巴士平台為基礎,目標先開發適合日本市場的右駕版本,再進一步推向全球市場。 Episode Highlights This episode picks up from last week's safety rating story, decodes a meaningful brand pivot at Nissan Taiwan, and tracks Foxconn's accelerating push into international EV markets. ⚠️ Kia Sportage TNCAP 2-Star Aftermath: Official Response Falls Short for Many Buyers: Sime Darby Motors Taiwan confirmed that the tested 2025 model is the pre-facelift variant, and that Asia-Pacific spec Sportage — regardless of model year — do not include rear seatbelt pre-tensioners or rear side airbags, as these cannot be selected from Kia Korea's APAC build options. The hardware differences in wiring, control modules, and body structure make retrofitting impossible. Sime Darby is pursuing a standalone Taiwan specification with the factory, but timeline estimates point to at least a year before any change materializes. As immediate compensation, all X-Trail owners from model years 2022–2027 and current order holders receive lifetime complimentary safety system inspections plus a 7-year unlimited mileage factory warranty extension. 🔍 Why TNCAP Matters: This incident is the clearest demonstration yet of what TNCAP exists to do — reveal the gap between a car passing minimum legal safety standards and how it actually performs in controlled crash scenarios. It also exposed that Taiwan buyers often receive Asia-Pacific spec vehicles that differ meaningfully from the European versions cited in marketing materials. In contrast, Suzuki Taiwan proactively added ACC and upgraded the infotainment on the new Jimny without raising the price — a positive counterexample in the same week. 🚗 Nissan X-Trail Mild Hybrid Facelift Officially on Sale: Yu-Long Nissan designed the exterior and interior updates in-house, aiming to visually align with the overseas facelift. Dual 12.3-inch digital cockpit and HUD are now standard on the top trim; ventilated seats come standard on mid-range. Pricing: commercial-plate versions start at NT$949,000 (with trade-in rebate); passenger-car versions at NT$1,049,000–NT$1,285,000, with up to NT$100,000 in combined tax incentives available. 🎯 The Real Story: Nissan Taiwan's Brand Repositioning: More notable than the product itself was the event presentation — storytelling-first, design-led, and clearly aimed at elevating brand perception rather than delivering a spec rundown. Nine showrooms will be redesigned with premium furniture, art installations, and Nescafé coffee stations. The motive: with the product lineup shifting heavily toward imports — including the X-Trail e-Power refresh, next-gen Kicks e-Power, Nissan Z, Qashqai e-Power, and a new EV — brand equity needs to be built now to support those price points. 🔋 Foxconn Model B RHD Prototype Spotted Testing in Australia: Australian outlet Drive photographed a heavily camouflaged test vehicle on a highway, with design cues identical to the Taiwan-market Baojun Ba — including the C-pillar Air Curtain, front wheel arch vents, and overall silhouette — but with revised horizontal LED light signatures front and rear. The vehicle is widely believed to be the right-hand-drive production version being developed for Mitsubishi , targeting the Australia and New Zealand market in roughly the same segment as the Mitsubishi ASX. Delivery to Mitsubishi is targeted for Q4 2026. 🚌 Foxconn × Mitsubishi Fuso Joint Venture "Fuso Bus" Goes Official: The 50/50 joint venture between Foxconn and Mitsubishi Fuso has been named Fuso Bus, with a diamond-shaped FB logo in Foxconn's signature blue. The venture will develop electric and conventional buses based on Foxconn's Model T (large bus) and Model U (mid-size bus) platforms, initially targeting Japan's right-hand-drive market before expanding globally. --Hosting provided by SoundOn
