The liberalization of the three-child policy has given the family car a new standard for space requirements. Taking this opportunity, it has set off a boom in the MPV market, and I did not expect to directly evolve it into a hot blue ocean market. The arrival of three new MPV models in the second half of last year can be regarded as a fuse to ignite the domestic MPV market. After them, whether it is traditional car companies or new car-making forces have officially announced that they want to get involved in the MPV field, and even Wei Pai has directly and arrogantly brought two MPV models.
The MPV model has the dumpling mode turned on, but who would be more fragrant? With this curiosity, we will compare the car companies that have recently announced or vaguely revealed the MPV plan and products to see which model is more worth looking forward to. As for the lantu dreamer who frequently showed his face before and brushed the sense of existence, the first MPV of Hongqi, the extreme krypton EF1E with Volkswagen ID.BUZZ, which are already familiar to everyone, there is no freshness here and will not be repeated too much.
Volvo's first MPV – or renamed The Trace
The news that Volvo wants to build an MPV model has been rumored as early as 2013. After many years, this news finally came true. Some time ago Volvo released the first MPV model rendering, it is reported that the car is jointly built by Volvo and Geely Automobile, is expected to be officially unveiled at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, in addition to the power of the 2.0T + 48V light system, the future or will launch a pure electric version of the model, is expected to be priced at about 300,000.
The appearance of the shape still continues the Volvo family design language, Quake's LED headlight group is highly recognizable, the body side shape is smooth, and there is no traditional boxy shape, giving people a feeling of XC90 and V90 cross-border integration. This somewhat labor-saving design naturally attracted a lot of complaints, and even some netizens believed that this was not an MPV at all, but the product of the SUV lengthening + changing the sliding door. The interior is also based on the XC9 template, and the materials and configuration and safety still continue Volvo's previous style, but in terms of space, I advise everyone's expectations not to be too high.
FAW Toyota's flagship MPV - Granvia
How can FAW Toyota tolerate GAC Racing's frenzied bargaining (collection) of good (cutting) consumers in the MPV market and monopolizing such a large piece of cake. At the recent online dealer conference, FAW Toyota said that it would introduce a large commercial MPV in overseas markets- GRANVIA into the new crown camp in the form of imports, and it is reported that the car is scheduled to be officially released this year.
It is a large business and an overseas model, do you think this MPV is very advanced? FAW Toyota wants this effect, but in fact, this car is a finely decorated large sea lion, positioning passenger vans, in overseas markets and Wuling Hongguang a usage, busy time to pull goods, idle time to pull people, and overseas version of the model five meters three length and three meters two wheelbase is indeed to race that big a lot. But this cargo hangs a crown mark and dares to sell three or four hundred thousand, which is really a bit unreasonable. So this car is actually borrowed from the name of GRANVIA, and the car may be based on the American version of Syna for a certain degree of differentiation. I hope that this car will not be as unsympathetic as Sai Na, otherwise it will easily overturn.
Honda Small MPV-Honda Freed
Although Honda Odyssey and Alexand have become the backbone of the domestic MPV market, but watching this market become more and more prosperous, Honda naturally will not let others continue to catch up, since the medium-sized MPV market is deployed, it is completely possible to develop in the blank entry-level MPV field. In my opinion, this role is none other than Freed, it is reported that the latest generation of the car will be officially released in the third quarter of 2022, and it should be very likely that it will be introduced into China in the future.
The small MPV model Free can actually be seen as the "Fit MAX" version, which maintains a high degree of similarity with the fourth-generation Fit in terms of design, and the value is online. Compared with other MPV models, the Freed has enough flexibility advantages in terms of commuting home and parking operation, and the dual electric side sliding doors and 2+3+2 7-seat layout also combine the convenience and practicality of the MPV. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5L self-priming/1.5L hybrid system, which basically meets the needs of households. In fact, a large number of small MPV models have died, and if this market can be revitalized like the micro-electric market with the boom, the introduction of Freed is basically not running.
Finally: At present, the three MPV of Shuangtian and Volvo are all futures-like existence, if you can compete on the same stage in the domestic market in the future, who will you be more optimistic about? Although it is a little premature to discuss it now, it does not prevent us from being a prophet to see who can pick the horse and later "dig a grave" to show off.
