Hello everyone!
As the New Year draws to a close, many friends are planning to buy a new car before the New Year, which is convenient for visiting relatives and friends during the New Year, and it is also a consolation for their hard work for a year. However, if you can wait, you will have a lot more options in 2022.
2022 has only just begun, but we already know that quite a few blockbuster new cars are about to hit the market. Today we will talk to you about what these models are and what are their highlights.
Of course, these models are only based on existing public information to find out, with the continuous update of new car information, we will continue to pay attention to and share with you in a timely manner. Let's talk about today's protagonists!
BYD Han DM-i
Flagship sedan + signature hybrid
= Add wings to the tiger
In the past year, the popularity of the DM-i series has been obvious to all, and the first three DM-i models have become blockbusters in their respective price points and positioning.
The first three DM-i models
Bydir, which has gained fame and fortune, has taken advantage of the victory and continues to grow the DM-i family.
Some new members of the DM-i family
One of the most anticipated is the Han DM-i, because Han is BYD's flagship sedan, which can be combined with the DM-i system. At present, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has exposed the declaration map of Han DM-i, and it is rumored that this car can be listed as early as the first quarter of this year.
The declaration chart shows that its appearance and size have some fine-tuning compared to the current Han EV/DM, and the overall taste is still that. Unfortunately, the declaration does not include information such as powertrain specifications and endurance, and we still have to wait for the official statement.
This is the declaration information sheet
Don't look for it, we've looked for it
Ham DM is performance oriented
Han DM-i is energy-saving oriented
Before the emergence of Han DM-i, BYD Han already had two series, namely the pure electric Han EV and the plug-and-mix Han DM. There is only one letter difference between the names of Han DM and Han DM-i, but the personalities are completely different.
Han DM is a performance-oriented car, using an electric four-wheel drive system, 321kW + 650N·m power for most people is even excessive, and even some people will feel afraid; its 2.0T engine is relatively old, not a hybrid special engine, so there is room for fuel consumption to decline.
Han DM-i is more energy-efficient, with a high probability of using front-wheel drive and matching the new Xiaoyun series engine developed specifically for hybrid systems.
New engines on other DM-i models
Thermal efficiency is said to be up to 43%
As for the parameters of Han DM-i such as power, energy consumption, and endurance, the official has not yet disclosed. However, recently, a product planning map was circulated on the Internet, which said that the battery capacity, pure electric endurance and fuel consumption of Han and Tang DM-i models were written.
Among them, the relevant information of the Han DM-i series is shown in the following table:
Although this figure has not been officially confirmed, we believe that the credibility of this information is quite high. If this information is available, then one of the biggest attractions of Han DM-i is the pure electric endurance of up to 242km, while the Han DM is only 81km.
The success of DM-i is largely due to a long enough pure electric endurance, 129,800 Qin PLUS DM-i already has a pure electric endurance of 120 kilometers, and it can even be driven as a tram if it is convenient to charge.
秦PLUS DM-i
The entry-level han DM-i has a pure electric endurance of 121 kilometers, and the long endurance version has 242 kilometers, which is more suitable for when the tram is opened. If the Han DM-i pure electric endurance is really so long, then the competitive advantage is even more prominent.
HANEV: You want to be a tram driver?
Don't give me face, do you?
Another point of interest is in fuel consumption, at least under THE CONDITION OF NEDC, the loss of power and fuel consumption of any version of Han DM-i is lower than that of the current Han DM.
DM-i System: Am I strong?
The price may be and the electric version
Not much difference
It is certain that as long as the pricing of Han DM-i is not unexpected, it will basically continue the hot selling situation of DM-i series models. Although the official price has not been announced, we may wish to refer to the pricing strategy of BYD's previous pure electric models and DM-i models to make a rough guess.
The Qin PLUS EV starts at 129,800, the Qin PLUS DM-i 120 km endurance version also starts at 129,800, the Song PLUS EV starts at 169,800, and the Song PLUS DM-i 110 km endurance version starts at 159,800.
宋PLUS DM-i
We found that the long-endurance version of the BYD DM-i model is about the same as the price of the pure electric version of the same model. Considering that Han DM-i has a longer pure electric endurance, the battery capacity is definitely larger and the cost will be higher.
Therefore, we boldly speculate that the version of Han DM-i 242km pure electric endurance will be expensive 20,000 or 30,000 on the basis of the starting price of HanEV of 209,800, that is, 230,000-240,000. As for the version with a pure electric endurance of 121km, the starting price may be around 210,000. When it goes public, you can verify our speculations again.
Honda Binzhi/XR-V
SUV "Invisible Pin Crown"
For the first time in 8 years
Binzhi /XR-V is an evergreen tree in the domestic small SUV market, if the two are regarded as the same car, their sales are often against the overlord Haval H6.
H6: Not only have I been overtaken by Model Y,
Still overtaken by the two of you?
The reason is simple, they are cheap, large space, strong power, fuel-efficient, reliable and durable, brand power and second-hand retention rate is also good. As pure scooters, they are very competent.
Take a look at the back space
The "Supercar" GK5 is the same 1.5L engine
However, they have not changed since they were listed in 2014, and the problems of outdated exterior interior, poor filtering/sound insulation, low configuration level, and backward active and passive safety design cannot be ignored.
Appearance is ok
The interior is not quite ok
Fortunately, the new generation of HR-V (the name of the prototype) has been launched overseas last year, and the new car has changed greatly in the exterior and interior, and the configuration level has also improved a lot. Rumors say that the car may be going to enter the country this year.
Nichiren VEZEL
The powertrain varies greatly
The new model has changed the most in the powertrain, and the hybrid version has replaced the protagonist of the fuel version. Taking the Japanese market as an example, the VEZEL (Binzhi English name) on sale is mainly divided into four versions, of which only one is a 1.5L oil car, and the other three are 1.5L hybrid vehicles. In the European market, hr-V is only available in hybrid versions.
European HR-V (hybrid only)
The power level of the new model will be much weaker than the current model. Taking the Japanese model as an example, the maximum power of the 1.5L engine is only 118 horsepower, which is 13 horses less than the current domestic 1.5L; and the comprehensive maximum power of the new hybrid version is only 131 horsepower, which is only the same as the domestic current 1.5L version, lagging behind the 1.5T version by 46 horses.
We speculate that if the new Binzhi/XR-V enters The country, it should be fuel and hybrid versions. In terms of price, the fuel version is estimated to be similar to the current model, and the hybrid version will often be about 20,000 yuan more expensive than the fuel version.
Of course, the current model sells well mainly because the discount is relatively large, and after the new model is listed, it will not be discounted in the short term. If you attach great importance to the cost performance, then you must grasp the bottom of the cash.
In particular, it is equipped with the version of the same 1.5T model as "Farayu"
I'm afraid it's out of print in the future
There are more competitors
While the new Binzhi/XR-V is about to be replaced, there are more competitors at this level. In the past, Toyota's Yize and C-HR had small space and slightly higher prices. However, recently Toyota Fenglanda has been listed, and its FAW Toyota sister model Ruifang is also about to be listed.
GAC Toyota Fenglanda
The two fields are finally going to fight head-on at this level of the market, and as for the result, we will soon see.
Nissan Qashqai
Old rival of Binzhi/XR-V
It is also 8 years old
Qashqai is an old rival of Binzhi/XR-V, and sales can sometimes approach or even exceed 20,000 vehicles/month, and most of the time it is the second sales pillar behind Xuanyi within Nissan. It has similar advantages and disadvantages to Binzhi/XR-V, mainly because it is too old.
Domestic sale of "old Qashqai"
However, the new Qashqai was listed overseas last year and is said to be coming home this year. Compared with the old model, it has made obvious progress in design, space, configuration and other aspects.
New Qashqai listed overseas
Space and power change greatly
The size of the new Qashqai is one circle larger than that of the old Qashqai, especially the wheelbase has been increased by 2cm, and the trunk volume has been increased from 430L to 503L. In a sense, the new Qashqai is more like a "small compact SUV", and its spatial performance is better than a number of small SUVs.
New Qashqai back row
New Qashqai trunk
Speaking of power, first of all, you can rest assured that the new Qashqa will not be like the X-Trail of the full series of three-cylinder machines. Among them, the fuel version adopts 1.3T four-cylinder engine + 12V light mix, which is divided into high power (157 horsepower) and low power (140 horsepower), matching 6MT or CVT transmission, and high equipped with four-wheel drive.
In fact, the domestic old Qashqai 151 horsepower 2.0L self-priming engine is not so weak, but the new Qashqai's turbines theoretically have better low- and medium-speed response, and urban driving is lighter.
This four-wheel drive also supports multiple modes
The hybrid version uses an e-POWER hybrid system based on a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. However, here the three-cylinder machine does not directly drive the wheels, and its vibration has little impact on the quality of the driving. At least from the performance of overseas models, its fuel saving effect is obvious. Unfortunately, it is not plug-in hybrid, and it cannot be green carded in China.
Manufacturer inner roll
Consumers benefit
We speculate that if the new Qashqai enters the country, it should be a fuel hybrid version, but there will be no four-wheel drive version. In addition, with reference to the current Qashqai price, we speculate that the guidance price of the fuel version is about the same as the current model, and the hybrid version will be about 20,000 expensive.
At that time, the new Qashqai will face the new Binzhi / XR-V and Feng Lanta / Carola Ruifang, and the infighting between the Japanese Sanjie will be more intense. For manufacturers, such an inner roll is not comfortable, but for us consumers, more different choices are ultimately good.
Second generation
Changan CS75 PLUS
Runner-up in annual sales
3 years to change generations?
Changan CS75 PLUS has always been a strong competitor to the Haval H6, with sales maintaining an average of about 20,000 units per month since its launch in 2019, often as the runner-up in sales. Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology exposed the declaration map of the second-generation CS75 PLUS, and the new car was listed as early as or in the first quarter of this year.
However, the second-generation CS75 PLUS is actually only a mid-term modification. Compared with the current model, it only has some details in the appearance and interior, and the overall design is still atmospheric and stable.
Highly equipped with exclusive 8AT
Down to low-end models
The most obvious change is the powertrain, the 2022 CS75 PLUS on the 8AT is exclusive to the 2.0T version, the 1.5T version only 6AT. In the second generation of models, the Aisin 8AT is the standard of the entire series.
The current model is exclusive to the 2.0T version of the 8AT
The Aisin 6AT transmission on the 1.5T version of the implementation is also OK, and the owner generally responds that it can take into account the power and smoothness, and the fuel consumption and noise performance can also be accepted. But even so, this Aisin 6AT is indeed an age, on the advanced, on the specifications, can not be taken out of hand. Therefore, Changan replaced the second-generation CS75 PLUS with 8AT, which made its already good product strength to a higher level.
The same level is used with a double clutch
8AT is a solitary seedling
It is said that the engine is the heart of the car, but in fact, the technical content of the gearbox is not lower than the engine, and the gearbox has always been the technical shortcoming of domestic cars. Looking at the domestic autonomous SUVs in their early 100,000s, most of them use dual-clutch transmissions.
Of course, at present, the technology and adjustment level of domestic double clutch are getting higher and higher, and the dual clutch transmission of Haval, Chery, BYD and other brands is at least not much of a problem in reliability. However, the mechanical principle determines that the dual-clutch transmission is always less reliable than the AT in terms of smoothness and reliability, not to mention that this AT transmission is still from Aisin.
Aisin 8AT has a long reputation in the industry
BMW uses the top of many horizontal platforms
Tuning is crucial for the gearbox, and Changan has been using the Aisin 8AT for a long time, and has been equipped on many models. Although the adjustment of this 8AT can not be said to be perfect, but at least it is familiar with the road. In the mechanical specifications of the gearbox, The Changan CS75 PLUS can be said to be the pressure of most of the competitors of the same level.
Wuling Hongguang MINI EV
Convertible version
People want a convertible version?
Wuling made it for you
The Wuling God Car doesn't have to be introduced too much, but we're going to talk about its convertible version.
As early as the early stage of the market, Hongguang MINI EV has won a high degree of recognition and love from its target group with its unique positioning and passing product strength, and even promoted a subculture in the circle of car fans, and some people play it specifically. For example, the official has not said that it is going to come out of the open-top version, and some players have modified a convertible version themselves.
The open-top version changed by folk masters
Of course, the modification is very expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the regulations do not allow this car to go on the road. In the spirit of "what the people need to build", Wuling really made the Hongguang MINI EV convertible version out. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has exposed the declaration chart of this car, and it is expected to be listed as early as the first quarter of this year.
The car in the declaration drawing follows the design style of "square box", and there is a multi-colored body of green-white-black, which looks full of personality. It has an electric soft-top convertible mechanism in the rear, and the roof is basically the same as the body after storage. Because of this, the car is only available in a two-seater version.
It is the cheapest convertible
That's enough
I think the biggest selling point of this car is that it is the cheapest convertible on the market, and I am afraid there is no one. How much will the Hongguang MINI EV Convertible sell? The official did not say, but since it is forward-looking, we have a lot of room for speculation.
It is reported that Wuling will cooperate with a European manufacturer to introduce the Hongguang MINI EV convertible version to Europe in the form of parts import + local assembly. It is said to be priced at 20,000 euros, about 156,000 yuan.
This stuff is called in Europe
FreZe Froggy EV (Convertible)
If you sell it at this price in China, then this car will definitely be cold. However, Hongguang MINI EV is not the first time to cut leeks for foreigners. The previous ordinary version of the Hongguang MINI EV was exported to Europe in the same way, and the starting price at that time was 9999 euros, about 78,000 yuan, which was about 2.7 times the starting price of 28,800 yuan in China.
If you calculate according to this calculation, the open-top version that sells for 156,000 overseas will sell for about 54,000 in China.
In addition, we searched for the price of soft-top convertible assemblies on a treasure and found something interesting. For example, the golf 6 soft top assembly, the price is 25,300, and the set of Audi's A5/S5 is even 35,000.
And you often say that you have to bite your teeth and go to Bentley, and the soft-top convertible assembly of its continental GT model is actually only 10,000. It seems that the convertible of a luxury car is not necessarily more expensive.
Take an average of the above prices, and a set of soft-top convertibles may cost 20,000-25,000. Considering Wuling's amazing cost control capabilities, we predict that a set of soft-top convertibles will be about 20,000 or even less. Combined with the price of the current model, the price of the convertible version is likely to be 50,000-60,000.
If you buy a convertible for more than 50,000, will you pay for it?
Write at the end
These are just a few of the models we've selected from the ones we already know will be available in 2022. Some of these cars are the big replacement models that people have been waiting for for years (Funji/Qashqai), there are convertibles that are only for a few people (Hongguang MINI EV convertibles), and there are also the crystallization of new technologies (Han DM-i). If you feel that no car has particularly met your needs before, you may be able to find a new "soul mate" after reading this article.
Of course, there are many new cars that will be listed in 2022, and we can only talk to you so much about it due to space limitations. In the future, with the continuous release of new news, we will share and discuss with you at any time.
Finally, what do you think about these cars, welcome to leave a comment.
