As early as 2010, Chery launched its first hardcore SUV off-road vehicle, the Weilin X5, and in that year, driver Lu Ningjun drove the Weilin X5 to participate in the 32nd Dakar Rally, ranking 28th in total. The Chery Weilin X5 also became the second Chinese brand model to participate in the Dakar Rally after Jiangling Motors.
At that time, Weilin X5 adopted the suspension structure of the front double wishbone and the rear integral bridge, and used the front and rear stabilizer bars and thrust bars, plus the chassis of the non-load-bearing body, which can be said to be a hardcore off-road vehicle with a very hard hardware configuration. However, with the failure of Cherydo's brand strategy that year, Weilin X5 quietly stopped production with the cancellation of the Weilin brand.
With the development of the domestic automobile market, more people use cars as driving fun tools, off-road culture is becoming more and more popular, and hardcore SUV models have begun to receive welcome. BAIC BJ40, tank 300 and other models currently have a good market performance. Recently, Chery's Jietu brand released a new hardcore SUV model preview, and the new car will be officially unveiled on January 10, 2 days later.
Judging from the current new car trailer, the appearance of the new car will adopt a very square and tough design style. The front face has a lot of styling details, first of all, the internal light source structure of the headlight is very delicate, similar to the shape of "+". The six black trim blocks of China Net bear the letters of the Jietu brand, similar to the design of the first electric model after the comeback of the new Hummer.
In addition to the angular body twisting treatment, it can also be seen that the new car will use a prominent wheel brow design, including the pattern of the tires and the rearview mirror shape, which is a very obvious hardcore off-road vehicle style.
There is no specific information about whether the chassis is carrier-bearing or non-carrier-bearing, there is already the experience of the previous Weilin X5, it is not difficult for Chery to manufacture a non-bearing off-road new model, the key is to see whether the specific positioning of this car is a pure hard off-road vehicle or a visual hardcore. In addition, about the price of the new car, the current Jietu brand models are the main cost performance, and then refer to the positioning pricing of the Xingtu brand model, it is expected that the price of this new Jietu TX will not be too outrageous, if it is a hardcore four-wheel drive off-road vehicle with a girder, the price is expected to be within 200,000, and it is expected that the new car will be benchmarked against tank 300, BJ40 these models.
