With the opening of the policy of two-tire and three-tire, the 7-seat SUV can no longer meet the daily travel needs of a family of four and a family of five. Therefore, the MPV model is gradually accepted by the market, after all, more seating space, more flexible seat layout in the car, and more suitable for the needs of the current large family, so it has also created a situation in which GAC Toyota Seine is difficult to find a car.
Catering to today's big wave of electrification and intelligence, the new MPV models are also colorful, and Extreme Kr, Hongqi, WEY, etc., have also announced that they will join the MPV battlefield. Today we will take a look at what more prominent MPV models we will see in 2022, will you like it?
The GS8 same hybrid is coming
A few days ago, we obtained the news from the Internet that GAC Trumpchi M8 is about to be replaced, and obtained the public information of its model (code name A88) related projects, it is expected that the new generation of M8 will be officially released this year, but it has not been confirmed by official news.
According to previous news, the new generation of Trumpchi M8 or will add a hybrid version, the hybrid system used is expected to be consistent with the second generation of Trumpchi GS8 currently on sale, and it is also the first time that Trumpchi MPV models have appeared hybrid models. In addition, the existing fuel version of the model will continue to be retained.
At the end of last year, the Trumpchi GS8 completed the replacement, and according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's new car declaration catalogue in December, we saw the latest 1.8T model.
The appearance of the new car is expected to be roughly the same as that of the 2.0T model, the front face is mixed with the design of the current pilot version and the master version, and the horizontal chrome decoration of the central net extends to the lower air intake, forming the front face shape of the large mouth, and the "Lingyun Wing" design has been sublimated. In addition, the long strip of chrome-plated clothing on the front lip is connected to the fog light area, which is the true legend of the master version. In addition, the decorative strips along the lower edge of the headlights have also become stout.
In terms of configuration, the new car can provide different styles of front grille, front bumper, rear bumper, "Master" sign, cruise radar and so on. In the power part, the new car will be equipped with a 1.8T engine, which can output a maximum power of 166kW, and the matching gearbox may be an 8AT transmission.
Editor's Comments:
After the launch of the M8 hybrid version, it will further enrich the hybrid product camp of GAC Trumpchi. The new car is expected to be built based on the Toyota THS hybrid system, and the power will exceed that of GAC Toyota Syna, a joint venture brand under the group, but the price is much cheaper than the latter.
Say goodbye to the business wind and evolve towards science fiction
In terms of appearance, although the Buick GL8 flagship concept car is still a familiar overall body style, its design such as the front face is more exaggerated. For example, the new car adopts a large-size front mesh design, and the interior is supplemented by a messy style mesh design, which brings a certain momentum. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a very sharp headlight set, which looks more fierce and unproductive.
In terms of interior, this car creates a unique mood. Its rear central handrail is positioned like a mountain, supplemented by control knobs and artistic teapots, which is very oriental. Such a design is intended to express its high-end, luxurious and comfortable product positioning.
The release of the Buick GL8 flagship concept car means that the new generation of Buick GL8 is not far away. Although the Buick GL8 concept car is currently only the concept car stage, the information revealed is not much, we can peek into the approximate design direction of Buick's next generation GL8, and what it looks like has a vague outline. At present, the MPV market has gradually been in the new energy, perhaps the next generation of GL8 pure electric version is not far away, there may be a larger size, more high-end positioning of the MPV model launched, we wait and see.
Coffee series of the same hybrid fuel saving and easy to open
Through the front door and window, you can faintly see that the car is equipped with an electronic instrument panel. Referring to the WEY smart cockpit concept car unveiled by the Great Wall at the 2021 Munich Motor Show, the new car is expected to feature a through-line horizontal triple screen design from instrument to co-driver. In addition, the front fenders of the new car are suspected to be equipped with post-perception cameras, and it is expected that the new car will be equipped with a high-end assisted driving system.
From the spy photo we can clearly see the exhaust of the new car, with reference to the previously exposed mule car spy photo, the new car is equipped with a hybrid special electronic knob, the right front fender reserved charging socket, and the Great Wall has also said that it will launch a new energy MPV model. It is expected that the new car will provide a DHT plug-in hybrid system, and there is no more detailed information on the new car at present, which we will continue to pay attention to.
Not surprisingly, the Wei brand's MPV will be announced at next year's Beijing Auto Show as early as next year, and will be on sale as soon as the end of next year. At present, all of Weipai's products are SUV arrays, and I believe that the emergence of new models will be healthier for the Wei brand. After all, the next door Lynk & Co, the product line is more abundant.
Can you have the same driving texture as the Krypton 001?
Previously, Extreme Kr has made it clear that in 2022 will launch an MPV model, a few days ago, we obtained a group of suspected extreme Kr MPV model spy photos, although the interior LOGO is the Lynk & Co logo, but I believe it is very likely to be a new model of Extreme Kr.
From the spy photo, from the design of the side sliding door of the vehicle, it can be confirmed that this is an MPV model. The A-pillar of the new car has an independent triangular window design, avoiding the visual blind spot caused by the wide A-pillar, the new car also adopts the design of the floating roof, this MPV has a very long body size and wheelbase, its size or the same as the GL8 Inside the car to maximize the riding space, it is foreseeable that the large space will be a highlight of the extreme Kr MPV.
Judging from the interior spy photos, the interior of the new car is highly similar to the extreme krypton 001. Independent full LCD dashboard, square central control screen, etc., the entire interior adopts a minimalist style, which is basically consistent with the design of extreme krypton.
Regarding the interior and power of the new car of Extreme Kr, there is no more information for the time being, and we speculate according to the Extreme Kr 001 that the internal sense of technology and high-end texture should not be missing. Although I don't know the endurance of the new car, but from the current market trend and model positioning, at least there will be a range of 800 to 1000, if this pure electric MPV officially launched the market, it is a big impact on those classic fuel commercial vehicles.
The light of domestic goods The domineering appearance continues
Judging from the exterior contours of the new car, it still continues the design language of the Hongqi family, and the area of the straight waterfall grille is even larger than that of the E-HS9, and the iconic red logo is used on the hood to enhance a certain sense of luxury.
The rear of the car also adopts a more square shape, but the design of the taillights is still in a relatively simple trial state.
As an independent brand specializing in high-end luxury, Hongqi has led by example and demonstrated the true "Chinese strength" to all global auto markets. Entering the new year, the all-new Hongqi MPV is likely to become a "heavyweight model" next year and set a new record for the domestic MPV, and there is no reason why we should not expect it.
This time should not learn the Sena markup, right?
At present, according to the information we have, some FAW Toyota 4S stores have begun to accept orders for FAW Toyota version of Sienna. As a sister model of GAC Toyota Syna, the new car will also be based on the overseas version of the Sienna, or it will be different in terms of appearance details.
Referring to the North American models on sale, the appearance, the new SIENNA adopts Toyota's latest design concept, and the official said that its shape is derived from the Japanese Shinkansen "bullet train", so the overall design is bold and radical, and creates a number of large "muscles". On the front face, the lower grille has obtained an unprecedented large area, embedded honeycomb texture (the ordinary version is designed with multiple horizontal bars), creating a full sense of sportiness; the irregular blade LED headlight group on both sides, the shape is narrow and aggressive, and the "debauched" silhouette is vividly displayed through a chrome trim strip; in addition, there is a huge air diversion slot on both sides of the encirclement, which effectively improves the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.
On the side, it seems that the designer intends to carry out the radical to the end, multiple lines are irregularly positioned, and the original large area and dull side door becomes passionate, especially the "crease" design created below, it is difficult to believe that this is still an MPV. On the tail, through the crisscrossing of multiple lines, creating a rich sense of layering, the upper integrated shape of the spoiler, can be described as the finishing touch; the two sides of the LED taillight group through the LED light strip to show the outline, and cleverly extend the lamp foot design, and the rear fender is integrated; and the lower tail bar echoes with the front bar, a large area of honeycomb-like net with blackening decoration, full of sport.
Entering the car, the interior can be described as an earth-shaking change, compared with the previous generation of models has a qualitative change, through the use of two-color materials for splicing, to create a full sense of luxury; and the combination of 9-inch suspension central control display + 7-inch LCD instrument, and inject more technology into the new SIENNA. In terms of details, the new car cleverly designed the gear handle to create a considerable storage space, and a wireless charging grid was also equipped under the center console.
As the sister model of Sena FAW Toyota Welu, the contrast between the two design styles, the sports version of the Senna is indeed amazing, but in recent years, the competition in Shuangtian is very strong, FAW Toyota has a lot of cooperation with foreign capital have been launched, and GAC not only cooperates with several foreign capitals to become bigger and bigger, its own brand Trumpchi, Aion series has also been praised. Some time ago, Sena's crazy price increase behavior was also badly commented by a number of netizens, and the sales performance was not good, I don't know if Verlu will also increase the price after the listing? I hope Yifeng can honestly sell cars.
In addition to being big enough and luxurious, the MPV must be fast enough
In terms of appearance, the new car grille adopts a family design language similar to Lantu FREE, the straight waterfall trim adds a lot of momentum to the vehicle, and the integration of the through-type day running lights and logo is also very exquisite. The overall look and feel is imposing.
In the interior part, the new car adopts the popular through-screen design, and adopts a large number of leather wrapping in the interior as a whole, and the sense of grade is not too much to be picky. In addition, the air conditioning control area also adopts a touch-based interaction method, which can be described as both luxurious and technological. At the same time, the new car will be 5G on-board lightspeed entertainment and office system, L2+ intelligent driving assistance system, support vehicle OTA, intelligence is also quite high.
Since it is an MPV model, it has to take care of the feelings of the rear passengers, especially the four-seat version of the experience, the second row adopts a through-channel corridor design, and it will be very convenient for members to get on and off the bus. Of course, in terms of luxury configuration, it is the same indispensable, zero-pressure aviation massage seats, large-size TVs that can be lifted and lowered, starry sky roofs, etc., full of ceremony.
Lantu Dreamer is positioned as a high-end luxury large-scale MPV, although the price has not yet been announced, but from the product level, whether it is the size of the body, the materials and configuration in the car, it is indeed in line with this positioning. In addition, thanks to the advantages of the pure electric platform, its acceleration and intelligent performance has also kept up with the trend, surpassing the traditional luxury MPV on the market, and is very much looking forward to its next dynamic performance. At present, in the segment of electric MPV, the current choice is not much, Lantu Dreamer is a strong player, perhaps there will be more players into this field, such as SAIC Maxus MAXUSMIFAEV, extreme krypton MPV, etc., then the next for the high-end MPV market will definitely cause a blow, we wait and see.
The price-performance ratio is definitely an advantage!
On the side, the new car adopts a smooth body waistline, emphasizing the sense of power of the whole car, and at the same time, the closed spoke wheel shape is expected to enhance the youthful atmosphere of this car. In terms of the rear, this new car adopts the popular through-type taillight group and bends on both sides, and the layering is prominent. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4850/1900/1715mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm.
Officials said that the car will use intelligent networking solutions and L2+ intelligent assisted driving technology to improve the intelligent safety level of the vehicle. It is worth mentioning that this new model is the first 7-seat MPV after the renovation of the Dongfeng Fengxing brand, and it is expected to use more abundant configurations on the mass production car.
Dongfeng Fengxing's MPV has always been commercially oriented, affordable price is the biggest advantage, and the launch of the yacht, but also marks the beginning of Dongfeng Fengxing involved in the household MPV market, although at present, the yacht is still in camouflage form, but through the manufacturer's information we can also know that its configuration is still quite high, I believe it will also follow the Dongfeng Fengxing affordable strategy, with high cost performance is certainly one of its major selling points.
Can I turn over by MPV?
According to the latest information public display, Shenzhen Denza New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. increased its registered capital on January 14, from the original 5.06 billion to 5.76 billion, an increase of 13.83%.
Since 2012, BYD and Daimler have increased the capital of Denza for 8 consecutive times, with a total capital increase of about 4 billion yuan. In the first half of 2019, both shareholders have increased denza's capital twice, namely 200 million yuan and 150 million yuan. At the same time, the equity ratio between the two parties has always remained 50:50. In addition to this capital increase, Daimler and BYD have increased the capital of Denza by about 4.9 billion yuan.
Denza MPV, from Zhao Zong's Weibo, it is not difficult to see that Denza MPV will also use the BYD e platform 3.0 architecture, so no matter what kind of positioning and price it appears, it represents BYD's latest design ideas and technical achievements. Entering 2022, the MPV market is already on the eve of change, and major manufacturers are planning their own MPV products, I believe this will also be a new direction for people after SUVs. For BYD, whether it is its high-end brand or Denza, it has come to the best time to vigorously develop.
SAIC Maxus MIFA9
800km ultra-long endurance Refuse endurance anxiety
In terms of appearance, MIFA adopts a new design concept, the front face adopts a closed grille design, outlines the towering front of the car through the polyline, with parametric treatment, with the new headlight group structure, the overall style is simple and futuristic, interpreting the design language of the "spaceship".
The new car will be equipped with a new generation of spider intelligent driving platform technology, equipped with triple screens, using Qualcomm 8155 and MediaTek 8666 high-performance dual-core interoperability technology. MiFA 9 adopts a separate seat, supports the 6-seat electric adjustment of the whole car, the backrest, leg rest, front and rear movement are all electrified, and ventilation, heating, massage and other functions are also fully equipped. Through the complex scientific and technological support of the car, the cloud and the user such as the intelligent detection of the full-seat OMS, it can realize a variety of rear VIP seat posture switching, and create an intelligent experience in the car for users to move the space of multiple people.
