There are not a few new cars on the market in the last month of 2021, and we have deliberately taken stock of 5 of them, each of which is a "fierce character" and has the potential to explode. Among them, there are luxury SUVs, joint venture SUVs, and domestic SUVs, with a large price and level span, but each model is "hot" and has the strength to impact sales. In addition, we did not inventory new energy vehicles, which means that these 5 SUVs are all fuel models. Let's take a look.
Great Wall Tank 500
Pre-price: 33.50-395,000 yuan
Listing time: December 2021
Highlights: Hardcore off-road vehicle with 3.0T+9AT
After the launch of the Tank 300, it has been a great success, and the consequence of the accumulation of a large number of orders is the lengthening of the time for consumers to pick up the car. So, can the Tank 500 follow the fiery "feel" of the Tank 300? I personally find it difficult, its positioning and price are very high, tank 300 is from 195,800 yuan, and the pre-price of tank 500 is from 335,000 yuan, you know, this is already the price of a luxury medium-sized SUV, the same money, you can buy Audi Q5L, BMW X3, Volvo XC60 and Cadillac XT5 and other models, although the tank 500 is more focused on off-road capabilities, but you can't ignore the strong market appeal of luxury brands, these luxury SUVs also have four-wheel drive systems. I can't help but think of the Haval H9, its price is all below 300,000 yuan, but the sales are not ideal, and the higher price of the tank 500, can it stand out?
Of course, from the perspective of product strength, the tank 500 is still very strong, the positioning of medium and large SUVs (the same as the Haval H9), plus the non-load-bearing body structure, plus the longitudinal platform construction, plus the powertrain of the 3.0T V6 engine + 9AT transmission, it also belongs to the top kind in off-road vehicles. The only uncertainty is whether consumers can accept its excessively high price or not. Don't look at the ideal ONE and Weilai EC6 and other domestic SUVs the price is very high, sales are also good, but don't forget that they are new energy vehicles, many consumers in first-tier cities have to choose these new energy vehicles because there is no blue card indicators, and the tank 500 obviously does not have this advantage. All in all, the Tank 500 is hot and has a lot of topics, but its sales are full of uncertainty.
Dongfeng Infiniti QX60
Pre-price: from 380,000
Listing time: December 16, 2021
Highlights: Infiniti's first luxury medium-sized SUV
Infiniti this Japanese luxury brand is very unpopular, in the second-tier luxury brand, its popularity is not as good as Lexus, Cadillac, Volvo, etc., the launch of Q50L, QX50 is not red, the upcoming QX60 is Infiniti's third domestic model, its positioning and Cadillac XT6 is similar, are medium and large SUV, are provided 6/7 seat models, according to its pre-price of 380,000 yuan, the price is basically very close to the BBA's medium-sized SUV, of course, It is also very close to the Cadillac XT6, playing the card of misalignment competition and leapfrogging, that is, the biggest obstacle to its success is the Cadillac XT6.
The CVT transmission provided by Jetco has made Infiniti questionable, and this time Infiniti learned to be "smart" when it launched the QX60, replacing the CVT transmission with a Mercedes-Benz 9AT transmission, equipped with a 2.0T VC-Turbo turbo engine is the world's first production engine to achieve a variable compression ratio, with a maximum power of 252 horsepower.
GAC Toyota Fenglanda
Pre-price: 135,000-175,000 yuan
Highlights: Based on the TNGA-C platform, Ralink's SUV version
In my opinion, Fenglanda is positioned similarly to nissan Qashqai, they are all entry-level compact SUVs, mainly occupying the lower sinking market than Qiqijun and Wilanda. In terms of price, it is also higher than the car on the same platform, such as the price of Fenglanda is much higher than that of Leiling, and the price of Qashqai is also much higher than that of Xuanyi. In terms of exterior design, Fenglanda also follows the design of Veranda, which can be regarded as a small version of "Velanda".
In terms of power, Fenglanda uses a powertrain of 2.0L + CVT, which is consistent with the Qashqai, its maximum power is 171 horsepower, which cannot be said to be very abundant, but "enough" is still no problem. The sales volume of this car should not be very low, in view of Qashqai's extraordinary sales performance, we expect that after the listing of Fenglanda and Corolla Sharp, it will inevitably be able to grab the market share of the 150,000-level joint venture SUV occupied by Qashqai.
SAIC MG ONE
Listing time: December 2, 2021
Price: 10.78-12.98 million yuan
Highlights: Moderate price and high configuration
Like Roewe, MG is also a brand acquired by SAIC From the United Kingdom, but its market competitiveness is not as good as Roewe, Roewe at least created a "blockbuster" SUV - Roewe RX5, and MG 5, MG 6, MG HS and MG ZS and other models of sales are not ideal, this direct acquisition of brand practice also for the "latecomers" sounded the alarm bell, count it, Lotus Motors, Borgward Motors, Sway Motors, etc. have been broken into the sand, either bankruptcy, or transactions, or surviving, If it were not for SAIC's strong "hematopoietic" ability, the MG brand would not have survived at all. But "inside the wall blossoms outside the wall incense", in the Indian market, the APPEAL of the MG brand is not bad, Indians think it is a British car, relatively high-end, and the price of MG is not expensive, in India, its product appeal can be comparable to Honda.
The price of MG ONE is cheaper than the price of the third-generation Haval H6, Changan CS75 PLUS, Geely Boyue X and other similar models, it adopts a young, stylish, dynamic design language, aimed at young consumer groups. In terms of power, the powertrain of 1.5T+CVT is standard in the whole series, with a maximum power of 181 horsepower and a maximum torque of 285 Nm. In terms of configuration, such as tire pressure display, 360-degree panoramic image, open panoramic sunroof, cruise control, keyless entry/start, leather multi-function steering wheel, leather seat, 12.3-inch central control screen (support satellite navigation, voice recognition control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, etc.), 6 speakers, LED headlights, LED daytime lights, automatic air conditioning, etc. are all standard in the system.
GAC Trumpchi GS8
Price: 18.68-24.68 million yuan
Listing time: December 12, 2021
Highlights: Built on the GPMA platform and equipped with Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system
The new GS8 was built by a team led by Zhang Fan, vice president of the GAC Research Institute, and the body size after being built based on the GPMA-L platform has been extended, saying that it is a medium-sized SUV, in fact, its size is closer to that of medium and large SUVs, and the length of 5015mm and the wheelbase of 2920mm are even larger than the size of many medium and large SUVs. The exterior and interior of the new car have undergone drastic changes, as well as the two-color body blessing, and there is really a sense of déjà vu of the Maybach GLS.
In terms of power, the fuel version of the model is equipped with a julang power 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 252 horsepower, the peak torque is 400 Nm, the transmission system is Aisin 8AT transmission, and the high-end model is also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system. The dual engine model is equipped with Toyota's fourth-generation THS hybrid system, which is composed of a 2.0T engine + electric motor + battery pack + E-CVT transmission, and the low-end model has only one front-mounted electric motor, and the high-end model is a front-rear dual motor, and is equipped with an electric four-wheel drive system.
