Although the current rise of Chinese auto brands is a fact, there is still a gap compared with joint venture brands in terms of reliability, so the first choice for many consumers to buy cars is still a joint venture brand.
In the face of Chinese brands struggling to catch up, the joint venture brands have prepared a number of blockbuster new cars in 2022, including SUVs, sedans and new energy models, and the minimum is less than 150,000 yuan!
So what are the models? And which consumers are they suitable for? So let's take a closer look at it with the professor!
For consumers of 150,000 yuan, the new Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai is definitely an SUV worth looking forward to. The new car not only has a more stylish styling design, but also based on the CMF platform to create its wheelbase to 2666mm, which will bring more practical space performance.
Not only that, the interior texture of the new Qashqai has also been greatly improved, and the addition of 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, 9-inch central control screen, ProPilot driver assistance system and other configurations, which is very in line with the current needs of the car.
However, the most critical thing is the power aspect, there is news that the new Qashqai fuel version will be equipped with a combination of 1.3T four-cylinder + CVT, with a maximum power of 157 horsepower, which is 6 horsepower higher than the current 2.0L model.
In addition, the new car will also launch an e-POWER hybrid version, using a combination of 1.2T engine + motor, the maximum power of 190 horsepower, 100 kilometers of fuel consumption is expected to be less than 5L.
Summary: The new car is expected to be listed in the second half of 2022, if the current starting price of 154,900 yuan is continued, then it will be a good choice for home users, after all, there is no more balanced joint venture SUV at the same price point.
As the pillar of Volkswagen's sales in the Chinese market, Sagitar has strong practicality and comfort, and the new models that are about to be launched are even more progressive. Although the new car does not continue the shape design of the overseas seventh-generation Jetta, the new appearance is still relatively atmospheric.
The interior is equipped with a 12-inch floating central control screen, and brings a more graded color and materials, which is refreshing. The wheelbase of the new car will continue to be 2731mm, and the space will be the same as the current model, but the performance will still be stronger than competitors such as Toyota Asia lion.
The biggest highlight of the new Sagitar is the replacement of the EA211 1.5T EVO engine, thanks to the variable-section turbine technology VTG, which reduces turbo lag while increasing the maximum power to 160 horsepower, which can bring better driving experience and fuel economy. However, the new model is still matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission.
Summary: There is no doubt that the upgrade of appearance, interior, and power will make Sagitar maintain the momentum of hot sales, because this is almost the best choice for home users who like German entry-level cars, after all, it has tens of thousands of yuan of discounts for less than 150,000 yuan, who does not love?
Nowadays, Dongfeng Yueda Kia has increased its attention to the Chinese market, so the new SPORTS that was released overseas in the second half of 2021 will soon usher in a domestic listing in 2022. As in the past, the new SPORTAGE will be renamed KX5 after domestic production, positioning itself as a compact SUV.
Whether the appearance is good or not is a matter of opinion, but the length, width and height of the new car are 4660/1865/1660 (mm), and the wheelbase has reached 2755mm, which will have more advantages than competitors such as Honda CR-V and Volkswagen Tanyue in terms of spatial performance.
Moreover, the interior of the new KX5 follows the double 12.3-inch screen design of the same overseas model, with active tones, and the overall sense of grade and quality has been greatly improved compared with the current model.
In terms of power, the new KX5 is expected to be equipped with the K5 Kaiku same 1.5T + 7DCT, 2.0T + 8AT two combinations, the maximum power is expected to be 170 horsepower, 240 horsepower.
In addition, the new car is also expected to be equipped with the same 2.0L HEV power system of hyundai Tucson L, and the fuel consumption of mito can be as low as 5.6L/100km.
Summary: From the product point of view, the new KX5 is obviously stronger in terms of household attributes than that of its peers. However, the professor believes that if the KX5 can learn from the pricing strategy of the modern Tucson L's starting at 161,800 yuan, then there will be a great chance of hot sales.
In terms of luxury models, I believe that many consumers are looking forward to the listing of the domestic version of X5, after all, the current imported models really can't get their hands on the performance of space.
According to the previous declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the UPcoming BMW Brilliance X5L will be extended, of which the length, width and height are 5060/2004/1779 (mm), and the wheelbase is lengthened by 130mm to 3105mm. As a result, the new car will be the largest of its class BBA models.
As for the interior, there is news that X5L is likely to use the dual screen design of the bmw iX, but it is also possible to continue the layout of the current model, and the specific information can not be known until the official release.
In terms of power, the declaration information shows that the new car will provide two engine options of 2.0T and 3.0T, with a maximum power of 272 horsepower and 370 horsepower respectively, matching the ZF 8AT gearbox.
Summary: The domestic X5L will completely eliminate the shortcomings in space and become a veritable medium and large SUV. As for the price, will there be any surprises? This is still an unknown.
In order to keep up with the development of the times, the always conservative Toyota has finally made efforts in pure electric models, and the first SUV model based on the e-TNGA architecture is the bZ4X. It can be seen that the appearance of the new car is still the standard "Toyota flavor" and will not give people a strong visual impact.
Interestingly, the compact SUV has a wheelbase of 2850mm, which will bring practical spatial performance.
In terms of interior, the bZ4X also shows Toyota's conservative orientation, although it provides a large-size central control screen and LCD dashboard, but compared with the same level of new energy models, it obviously lacks some sense of technology and freshness.
However, the power aspect of the bZ4X is still a certain surprise, it provides a single motor front drive and a dual motor four-wheel drive two versions are available, of which the maximum power of the latter is 160kW, and the time to break the hundred takes only 7.7 seconds, which changes toyota's bland setting.
And thanks to the 71.4kWh battery pack, its WLTC operating range reached 500km, and Toyota advertised that the battery attenuation would not exceed 10% in 10 years (240,000 km).
Summary: From the current information, the style of bZ4X is more similar to Toyota fuel vehicles, and reliability and practicality are its biggest advantages. So the question is, I don't know if you will consider Toyota when you buy pure electric models within the 200,000 yuan level?
Like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, as a century-old automobile giant, has also launched pure electric vehicle models in an all-round way, and the Mercedes-Benz EQE, which will be listed domestically within the year, is the latest masterpiece.
As can be seen from the appearance, the new car is almost a small EQS, the low wind resistance design is very recognizable, and the 3122mm wheelbase can also bring a spacious space experience.
The interior is the same, EQE follows the same EQS center console design, which is mainly composed of three large-size LCD screens, with smooth lines and mood lights, fully demonstrating Mercedes-Benz's understanding of science and technology, it can be said that the luxurious atmosphere is still very strong.
In terms of power, EQE is expected to continue the configuration of overseas models, the peak power of the motor is 215kW, and the WLTP working range of 660km can be achieved under the support of the 90.6kWh power battery, and 80% of the power can be replenished in 31 minutes, and the overall parameters have reached the leading level of the same level.
Summary: As a pioneer of the era of fuel vehicles, Mercedes-Benz proved to prove that elephants can turn around very quickly. At present, it has launched a number of pure electric models such as EQS and EQE before BMW and Audi, and according to the habits of Mercedes-Benz consumers, as long as the product does not have obvious shortcomings, it is not worried about selling.
Through the above inventory, it can be seen that with the rise of Chinese brands, many foreign brands have accelerated the pace of replacement of new products and brought more new technologies, which is believed to be a good thing for consumers. Because it costs the same amount of money, but can buy better products, it is estimated that no one will mind.
