2021 is coming to an end, it is reasonable to say that the new car market should be calm, but Brother Reel recently obtained a number of sets of road test new car spy photos from relevant channels, including many high-profile models, once again setting off a small climax for the new car market. To this end, we may wish to take a look at what new cars are in this wave of "tail trains"? What are the highlights of each one that deserve attention?
Euler Lightning Cat
The "cat" series of the Euler brand is gradually growing, following the white cat, black cat, good cat and other models, it has ushered in the appearance of lightning cats. Euler Lightning Cat has previously appeared at multiple auto shows, and the overall image is well known, but the spy photos exposed this time are different from the shape of the previously exhibited models.
In terms of appearance, the lightning cat of the road test still adopts a slip-back design, which is somewhat similar to the Panamera as a whole, which can be described as a combination of elegance and retro form. The front of the car adopts the design of the circular light group, which is different from the embedded design of the exhibition car, and the headlights of the road test model are more prominent, but it is believed that this is only temporarily installed for the road test, and it is still like the exhibition car after mass production.
Although the road test new car is cloaked in thick camouflage, on the whole, it is quite close to the lightning cat on display at the Guangzhou Auto Show. It is worth noting that the lightning cat exhibited at the auto show adopts a retro triptych design, while the road test model is equipped with a full LCD instrument, which will weaken its retro temperament to a certain extent.
The Lightning Cat is positioned as a compact sedan and will also be the flagship model of the Euler brand. The new car will be put into production in the second quarter of 2022, and the price may be around 200,000 yuan. It is expected that the new car will adopt a four-wheel drive system composed of dual motors and be equipped with Great Wall Motors' latest intelligent driver assistance function.
Dongfeng winds yachts
Personalized model naming has been played through by independent brands in recent years, in addition to being named after various animals, there are also models named after sea, land and air, weapons and equipment. No, the new car market has given birth to a model called "yacht". Just by looking at the name, you might think it's a luxury SUV or a full-size pickup? In fact, this is a new medium-sized MPV model launched by Dongfeng Fengxing.
Fengxing Yacht has previously been unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show, the new car is based on the "super cubic EMA architecture", and adopts the "front dynamics" design concept, with a very exaggerated front face design, making the overall more personalized, I believe that the car will be mainly for young family users. The car has a length, width and height dimensions of 4850/1900/1715mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm.
The Windmill will be powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 197 horsepower, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
BYD Han DM-i
The current monthly sales of BYD Han models have basically remained above the level of 10,000 vehicles, which is quite good for this level of independent brand models. In order to further expand its market share, BYD will bring the Han DM-i model, and the car's related road test spy photos have also been exposed recently.
Judging from the spy photos, Han DM-i basically inherits the overall design of the current Han DM, and only makes corresponding adjustments to some details, such as the front face of the new style, the tail light group and the rear surround of the new style. In terms of power, Han DM-i will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine + drive motor, with a comprehensive power of 315kW, and the declared fuel consumption values of the vehicle are 0.8L/100km and 1.4L/100km, respectively. This power system is basically the same as the Song PLUS DM-i four-wheel drive version.
Why does BYD launch Han DM-i when it already has Han DM and Han EV models? The reasons behind this are well understood, first of all, to expand the product line, improve the DM-i product series, and further promote the sales growth of the car series; secondly, to further explore the market, attack the market below 200,000 yuan with Han DM-i, and compete head-on with joint venture mid-size vehicles such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Nissan Tianlai.
Frontier X
After Tanyue X, FAW-Volkswagen brought the Lanjing X model, and the new car can be seen as a cross-border version of the Lanjie, similar to the positioning of the sister model Tuon X. Judging from the relevant spy photos, the front shape of the Lanjing X is basically the same as the current Lanjing models on sale, and there are differences in the number and size of the horizontal banners of the Middle Net. The biggest difference is the D-pillar part of the model, the rear corner window style is changed to a more square large window while the entire tailgate curvature is larger, making it present a more dynamic body posture.
In terms of power, it is expected that The Range X will follow the power system of the Border, providing a 2.0T high and low power engine and a 2.5T engine, with a maximum power of 186 horsepower, 220 horsepower and 299 horsepower, all matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The above models will meet with consumers in the near future, each model has its own characteristics, and Brother Reel is looking forward to Han DM-i and Euler Lightning Cat, the former has a very economical fuel consumption performance, and the latter represents the strongest strength of the brand. Users with coins waiting to buy may wish to wait for the arrival of these new cars.
