On the sales of independent high-end brands, Hongqi is the first, and the extension is Geely Lynk & Co and Great Wall WEY, Chery Xingtu once again, in 2021, Xingtu only handed over nearly 40,000 results. Are you going to say that there is something wrong with Xingtu products? The secret agent felt that there was none, so why didn't it sell well? Or because the product positioning is not clear, the lack of core selling points, especially the Tiggo 8 series, there is a lot of overlap between the two.
But fortunately, Xingtu has been trying to find a way, recently it is rumored that the brand will usher in a major turnaround, the new car Yaoguang or will be mass production, or fuel version, 2.0T + 8AT horizontal power, as well as four-wheel drive system, hard power enough to play. There is not much information about the "Yaoguang" of Xingtu, the appearance will continue the Design Language of the Xingtu family, and the exaggerated light group should be weakened in the mass production version, but as long as it can retain the same and different, such as sneaking on the roof, etc., the recognition can be guaranteed.
In addition, the basic technical parameters of Yaoguang, according to the content of the news, the length, width and height of the new car are 4675/1920/1625mm, the wheelbase is 2780mm, and the book data is not bad with another Chery new SUV - OMODA5. The powertrain is worth paying attention to, 2.0TGDI is the strongest power of Chery, and the transmission choice is 8/9AT, of which 9AT is very critical, it can be determined that Chery has a new "black technology".
The gearbox has always been Chery's old and difficult problem, especially in response to high-end models, Xingtu Lanyue chose SAIC's 7-speed dual-clutch wavebox. You know, most of the domestic SUVs of the same level provide AT gearboxes, while Chery Xingtu is equipped with dual clutches as standard, and the lack of attraction is not without reason. Now that 9AT has been released, if Yaoguang can carry 9AT, it will be good news for the brand or the model.
Nowadays, domestic independent luxury car brands continue to emerge, whether they insist on fuel or based on pure electricity, they are shaping brand labels and attracting consumers with hard power and unique selling points. Chery Xingtu has technology, but there are shortcomings in marketing and vehicle viewing, and if the new car Yaoguang can make a breakthrough, it should bring a new sense to consumers. As for the price, there is no accurate information at present, and the car will be listed as soon as 2023. As the next generation of main models, what do you think?
