At the beginning of the new year, in addition to celebrating the Spring Festival, I believe that everyone has begun to formulate the goal of the New Year, right?
Is the new car you want to start in 2022 a good choice? If not, the professor thinks these new cars are worth looking forward to.
Want to buy yourself a sports car for the New Year? MG's Cyberster can be found out.
The concept sports car, which debuted at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, features a two-door, two-seater convertible body structure with a small size and a low, rugged shape that looks very much in line with the design concept of traditional European-style sports cars.
MG said the Cyberster will use a pure electric power system, 0-100km/h acceleration in just 3 seconds, the combined cruising range of up to 800km.
However, before the official release of the mass production version, these parameters are just lip service; about the power of breaking 100 in 3 seconds, it is not difficult for the current domestic electric drive technology, but it is very challenging to stuff a battery pack that supports 800km endurance in such a compact body.
Of course, some friends will also ask: Isn't this a concept car, usually these concept cars that look so fragrant will not be mass-produced!
It is true that in the past, the concept cars of major car manufacturers have been "pigeon-releasing" precedents countless times, but this time MG has opened a new way of playing - co-creation.
After the release of the Shanghai Auto Show, MG launched Cyberster's mass production crowdfunding project, and completed the crowdfunding goal in just 10 days, receiving a total of 6699 crowdfunding funds at the end of the crowdfunding.
If this car is not mass-produced, we who are watching the lively melon eating masses may not care very much, but the 6699 crowdfunding customers who have paid real money and silver are not so easy to deal with.
Moreover, MG also introduced the concept of "co-creation" in the process of new car development, saying that it is to co-create at least 33 product points with crowdfunding users, and it is planned that co-creation should be completed within this year.
According to the positioning of MG's models, the past pricing level and the market recognition of the MG brand itself, the professor believes that the final price of this Cyberster sports car should not exceed 250,000, so it will become the most affordable high-performance sports car in the domestic market.
If you think that the "toy" of the sports car is too fancy, or want a more real but also very stylish SUV, then the professor thinks you can pay attention to the tank 500.
The name of great wall's new sub-brand tank has long been known throughout the country, and its first model, the tank 300, has set off a lot of storms in the past year.
The Tank 500, which is expected to be available in 2022, will be the second bombshell released by the tank.
If the Tank 300 is aimed at a group that aspires to hardcore off-road vehicles but can't reach the Wranglers, then the Tank 500 is obviously running to the Toyota Land Cruiser.
The large shape with rounded lines and a lot of chrome decoration is the classic image that the Toyota Land Cruiser family brings to domestic consumers about high-end large-size off-road vehicles.
The 3.0T turbocharged V6 engine, the 9AT hand automatic transmission, the non-load-bearing chassis structure, the front double wishbone and the multi-link integral bridge suspension show the "pertinence" of the tank 500 everywhere.
Of course, the professor is not saying that the Tank 500 will definitely poach Rand Cruiser's customers, but it will certainly be able to harvest a large number of consumers who watch Land Cruiser drool at a more affordable price, but have limited tickets in their pockets.
In addition, 2022 is also a big year for MPV.
The arrival of the three-child era has once again stimulated the development of the MPV market, and many manufacturers will bring their first MPV models in 2022, including Weipai, a young independent high-end brand.
According to the news, Weipai's MPV models are likely to be released in April 2022, but at present, these MPVs are still in the chassis testing stage of other car shells, and it is difficult to say whether they can be released as scheduled.
The hypothetical graph comes from the network
However, Weipai is developing two MPV models at the same time, one medium-sized MPV mainly promotes the home market, and the other medium-sized and large-sized MPV is to be more tall, aimed at the business market.
Of course, there are very few details about the new car, but why is the professor so looking forward to this new car that has not even been determined?
Because according to the performance of the previous Wei brand SUV model in the design of the exterior interior, as well as the workmanship and material matching, the professor has reason to believe that this is a very important boutique MPV.
In addition, the DHT hybrid technology that Weipai is currently vigorously promoting is also likely to appear on the new body, which means that the new car will be very fuel-efficient, and it will also be a strong opponent of BYD Song MAX DM-i, Odyssey and even Xena.
Therefore, if you want to buy a large MPV as a family car in the New Year, Weipai's MPV is indeed worth paying attention to.
Having seen the independent brands, it is time to take a look at the movements of the joint venture.
In 2022, the professor believes that you can pay attention to the new products of Japanese brands in the field of new energy, and to know that there are so many traditional manufacturers in the market, it is convenient for the Japanese system to launch pure electric models.
Just like Nissan, they had already entered the pure electric vehicle market, relying on a Leaf to let domestic consumers know what a serious pure electric vehicle is.
But then the first generation of Leaf was discontinued, and this series of models has never entered the domestic market again, which is a pity.
However, this is a different situation now, because Nissan's pure electric SUV model Ariya, which was unveiled at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, has already achieved mass production and is expected to go on sale in 2022.
The SUV, based on Nissan's latest CMF-EV platform, will be completely transformed in appearance, interior, and technology. We will not only see the new stepped double-screen car machine system, the new interior design style, but also the mature electrical technology developed after years of practice in overseas markets.
Although the power parameters of the maximum 389 horsepower, 600 Nm torque and 483km pure electric endurance are not outstanding, after all, before the birth of Tesla Model 3, Nissan's electric vehicle has been the best-selling electric vehicle overseas, and even to this day it is still one of the biggest competitors of Model 3 overseas, Ariya's power system experience is still very worth looking forward to.
After watching Nissan and then looking at Toyota, toyota's previous energy in electrification has been put into hybrid technology and hydrogen fuel cell technology, but driven by the general trend, they still suddenly launched a large number of electric concept cars at the end of 2021.
Of course, this batch of concept cars is still some distance away from the real production and listing, but there is a new car on the string.
That's the bZ4X, a pure electric SUV.
The bZ4X is Toyota's most talked-about new car in 2021, and while the exterior design retains some of the design elements of the current main SUV model, the clean and flat enclosed front face, the new front and rear headlight sets, and the quirky two-tone design of the fenders all bring a fresh look.
The new car will be built based on the e-TNGA architecture, using a battery pack developed in cooperation with CATL, and it is said that it can still maintain 90% of the battery capacity after 10 years of use, and it seems that it is planning to take the "stable and reliable" technical route.
However, in the pure electric SUV market, the domestic independent brand is amazingly powerful.
BYD, GAC Aeon, Weilai, Xiaopeng · Any one can have a strong configuration, technology advantages and market recognition advantages, and Toyota only has a "traditional short board" in the aspect of vehicle intelligence, and it may be a little difficult to beat Chinese brands.
Of course, battery attenuation, battery safety and other issues are actually the main concerns of many consumers for electric vehicle models, if Toyota's bZ4X can really continue Toyota's reputation of "not bad", then its competitiveness is not to be taken lightly.
If the above cars will be more concerned by male consumers, then the next car is obviously for the majority of female consumers.
Whether it is a husband buying a car for his wife or a female consumer choosing a car herself, MINI is always an inextricable choice.
Few people seem to be able to resist the powerful lethality of the round shape, so many consumers buy it just because it is "good-looking".
But for many people, the price of the MINI as a pure import model in the past is really a bit high.
However, the new generation of MINI COOPER SE may change this.
Because of the cooperation between Great Wall Motors and BMW Group earlier, a new brand called "Beam Auto" was established, and the new brand will be responsible for the domestic MINI COOPER SE.
For the new MINI COOPER SE, the power parameters are actually irrelevant; everyone is always more concerned about whether it can fully maintain its rounded classic appearance.
Spy photos come from the network
According to the various spy photos previously exposed on the Internet, it seems that the upcoming domestic MINI COOPER SE is still very cute.
Then, the irresistible cute appearance coupled with the price advantage brought by domestic production will definitely make this model a "blockbuster new car" in the coming year.
Professor Summary
The above are a few new cars that the professor thinks are more worth looking forward to in 2022, I don't know which one you like the most?
