2022 has officially begun, on the occasion of this resignation and new, we also take a look at the following more heavy domestic models that will be listed in 2022.
SAIC-GM-MINI EV convertible version
Expected time to market: Within 2022
The first model to be introduced is a very grounded new energy car, which has achieved excellent sales results in 2021, and is known as the "light of domestic goods" Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the convertible version of this model was officially unveiled, and it is very likely to become the cheapest convertible in the world, which has been expected by many young people at once.
According to the current understanding, in the 351st batch of "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the convertible version of the Hongguang MINI EV is among them. It also officially marks the arrival of this model just around the corner. Judging from the declaration chart that has been exposed, the convertible version of the Hongguang MINIEV maintains the cute design style of the current model in terms of appearance design.
As a convertible, the details have been readjusted and optimized, and the dual color A-pillar and roll cage are particularly eye-catching. In addition, subject to cost and final pricing, it is expected that the new car convertible will use a soft-top convertible and will use manual opening and closing. In terms of body size, the convertible version of the Hongguang MINI EV has a length, width and height of 3059*1521*1614mm and a wheelbase of 2010mm, respectively. At present, there is no more information about the interior of this new car. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 30 kilowatts.
In the future, if the convertible version of the Hongguang MINI EV can control the final price at about 100,000, I believe that the market performance of the Hongguang MINI EV series in 2022 will continue to be magical.
SAIC Volkswagen - a new generation of Lingdu
Expected time to market: End of January 2022
Lingdu was officially listed in China in 2014, and at the beginning of the listing, with the concept of "wide-body coupe" and rich configuration and comfortable interior space, it once became the sales king of the A-class car model market. In 2022, SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu will also usher in a complete replacement.
In terms of appearance, the shape design of the new generation of Lingdu has been reborn and changed, becoming more fresh. The whole front face has become more low lying at the same time, but also has a sense of technology. In addition, the headlight group and the new shape of the honeycomb mesh grille are also more in line with the tastes of today's young users.
The new generation of Lingdu is based on the Volkswagen MQB EVO platform, so that it will evolve in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4784 * 1831 * 1469mm, the wheelbase has become 2731mm, compared with the current Lingdu space performance is more excellent.
In the rear part of the car, the new generation of Lingdu adopts the most popular through-LED taillight design to visually stretch the width of the rear. At the same time, the new car will also provide different shapes of the front and rear bumper kits and a variety of styles of rims and other personalized options.
In terms of power, from the current information, the new car will continue to be equipped with a high-power version of the 1.4T engine, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower. Volkswagen's new 1.5T engine is expected to be officially replaced in the later stage from the current actual situation. The previous news also learned that the new generation of Lingdu models will adopt a frameless door design, which is still relatively special in the 150,000-class family A-class sedan.
Changan Lincoln-Lincoln Z
Estimated time to market: Early 2022
After Changan Lincoln introduced the Lincoln car series into china, Lincoln's sales in China in 2021 have improved a lot. The Lincoln Z, unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, has captured a large number of consumers as the first car model of Changan Lincoln since the announcement of the pre-price. According to Lincoln's product planning, the brand will be fully electrified and intelligent in 2023, and the Lincoln Z car may become the best song of the fuel version of the Lincoln sedan.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the Lincoln Z adopts the family's latest "Lincoln Star" star grille, and the iconic through-light group is designed for the first time in the front part of the car, making it look more youthful and sporty. The combination of exaggerated side air intakes and diamond-type full LED headlights truly combines sport and luxury.
The body side of the Lincoln Z uses hidden door handles, and at the same time, the "J" shaped decorative parts are extended on both sides of the front fender, making the slender proportions of the whole car more harmonious visually and enriching the layering of the side. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4982 * 1865 * 1485mm, and the wheelbase is 2930mm, which makes it not inferior in many medium and large cars.
In the rear part of the car, the design of the ducktail and the underside taillights fully demonstrate the design skills of Lincoln, an American luxury brand.
In terms of power, the Lincoln Z is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 246Ps and a peak torque of 376N·m; such data performance makes the Lincoln Z stand out among the luxury B-class sports masters. In addition, the Lincoln Z will also launch a hybrid version of the model in the future. Lincoln Z's previous pre-sale price is 255,000 yuan - 342,000 yuan, according to the previous domestic Lincoln style, the official listing price of the new car may have surprises.
BMW Brilliance X5 long wheelbase version
The BMW X5 is the first four-wheel drive SUV model launched by the BMW brand, which has been listed for 4 generations and has a history of nearly 22 years. In the domestic high-end SUV sales rankings, BMW X5 has always been in the head camp of sales and is deeply loved by domestic consumers. In 2022, the BMW X5, an important model, will also officially usher in domestic production.
Judging from the road test spy photos that have been exposed in 2021, the domestic BMW X5 has obviously lengthened the body, and the length of the body will exceed 5 meters. The overall dimensions look more slender, especially the length of the rear doors and windows.
And just this week, the declaration map of the domestic BMW X5 was also officially exposed. Judging from the declaration information, the body length and wheelbase of the domestic BMW X5 have increased by 130mm compared with the current model. The domestically produced BMW X5 has a body length, width and height of 5060*2004*1779mm, and a wheelbase of 3105mm. While the body becomes longer, the space inside the car will also become larger, and for domestic consumers to buy cars and pay attention to the consumption habit of space performance, the domestic BMW X5 product force is very strong.
In terms of appearance, the domestic BMW X5 basically continues the overall design style of the overseas version of the model. In terms of details, the sides of the front surround have been replaced with new chrome trims with more chic shapes, making the sense of luxury stronger. The most significant feature of the rear part of the car is the nameplate of "BMW Brilliance" at the bottom left of the tailgate, which is also consistent with the design of the overseas imported version of the model. In terms of power, the domestic BMW X5 will be equipped with 2.0T engines and 3.0T engines. Among them, the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 200kW, and the maximum power of the 3.0T engine is 272kW.
As far as the current price range of luxury medium-sized SUVs and imported luxury medium and large SUVs is concerned, once the domestic production is realized, it is still possible to reduce the price of imported models by about 100,000 yuan. Therefore, if the price of the entry-level model of the BMW X5 after the domestic production is lowered to the price range of 500,000 yuan, it is believed that its luxury SUV market in China will be more competitive.
Now that the automotive industry is in a period of great change, after experiencing the global epidemic in 2021, supply chain shortages and other factors, 2022 is a crucial year for major car companies. Whether it is luxury brands, joint venture brands and domestic independent brands, they have re-adjusted the layout of the market and actively involved more market segments, and in such an environment, I believe that this year will usher in more impressive new models released and listed.
