In today's Chinese auto market, the sedan has long been saturated, and the SUV has gradually reached a saturated state. So what will be the next explosive car series? A lot of people think it's MPV. In fact, such speculation is not unreasonable. On the one hand, when consumers buy more models, they hope to be able to buy more practical models. The second is two-child families, and more and more three-child families also need a 7-seater car to meet the travel of the whole family.
So in 2021, Kia Kahua, Toyota Sai na is already on the market. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, neither Jawa nor Xena has been able to challenge the market position of the Buick GL8. So what are users waiting for? What kind of MPV is what users need?
[1] Lantu Dreamer, Extended Range Hybrid MPV
At present, there are so many MPV on the market, but the new energy MPV is relatively small. Lantu found this market opportunity and debuted dreamer in 2021, which has two powertrains, range extender hybrid and pure electric.
The range extender hybrid will use a 1.5T engine as a range extender with a maximum power of 100 kW and the front and rear motors with a maximum power of 130 kW and 160 kW, respectively. It is worth noting that the new car will also be equipped with air suspension + CDC + magic carpet function.
The biggest advantage of the extended range hybrid is of course fuel saving, and the Dreamer has surpassed the size of the Buick GL8 in terms of size, and has also launched 4-seater and 7-seat different versions. Therefore, Lantu Dreamer may become a spoiler in the new energy MPV market in 2022.
【2】Great Wall Wei brand MPV, DHT-PHEV (hypothetical image)
At present, there is not much news about the Great Wall Wei brand MPV, and there are only some imaginary pictures on the Internet, and I don't know what the real car looks like. However, from the previous Great Wall Motor conference, it is not difficult to see that the Great Wall Wei brand MPV will be equipped with DHT plug-in hybrid system.
The DHT plug-in hybrid system has been first installed on the mocha, and the core advantage of the MOCHA DHT-PHEV is that it has a pure electric cruising range of 204km. It comes with a larger battery pack with a capacity of 39.67 kWh. Therefore, under the condition of NEDC, its pure electrical endurance reaches 204km. In this way, for consumers with charging piles, pure electric travel can be realized every day. From the perspective of charging speed, it has also reached the level of mainstream pure trams.
The fuel consumption of the MOCHA DHT-PHEV is only 5.55L/100km. For a larger SUV, it's not bad. Then on the MPV model, we also expect to have a better performance.
[3] Red Flag MPV
The brand that should do MPV the most is definitely a red flag. Because MPV is synonymous with commercial vehicles in China, if Hongqi launches MPV, it will definitely shake the market share of Buick GL8. However, it is said that the model of The Red Flag MPV is the Lexus LM, if so, I am afraid the price will not be very low.
Because of the blessing of the brand, the Red Flag MPV is particularly suitable for business travel, and it is estimated that government procurement will also be given priority at that time. In terms of power, Hongqi did not adopt new energy methods. It's traditional fuel power. These include a light hybrid system composed of 2.0T+48V motors, and a 3.0T V6 engine of the same Model of Hongqi H9. Therefore, the performance of fuel consumption has no advantage over the Lantu Dreamer and the Wei brand MPV.
