In recent years, with the improvement of consumption level, coupled with the decline in the price of luxury cars, its market share has risen steadily, and the consumption potential has been gradually explored. In 2022, brands will further expand the lineup of luxury cars, in addition to the German "34C, 56E, 78S" that we are familiar with, Japan/The United States/South Korea have "new faces" of luxury cars entering the Chinese market.
Lincoln Z
▲ Core selling point: the car is nearly 5 meters long, the premium version of the new Mondeo, pre-sale of 255,000 yuan.
From 2020 to 2021, lincoln automobile localization is fully accelerated, thanks to the cost compression brought by the chassis and production line shared with Changan Ford, the cost performance of the three domestic luxury SUVs of Adventurer, Navigator and Aviator has been widely recognized by users, and has a fairly good market performance, with sales of 91,861 vehicles in 2021, with a growth rate of 46.92%, refreshing the brand's sales record in China.
In 2022, the brand will replace the previously imported MKZ (which has been discontinued) through this Lincoln Z, and return to the luxury car track, which was first launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show last November and announced the pre-price, with two appearance styles of i-cool and i-share, with a pre-price of 255,000-34.2 million yuan.
According to the convention, the pre-price is slightly higher than the guide price, and the price of the Lincoln Z main sales model is likely to be controlled at 250,000-300,000 yuan, which is similar to the Volkswagen CC, which is much cheaper than the Lexus ES and Volvo S60/S90.
From the perspective of the product itself, Lincoln Z and Changan Ford EVOS and the upcoming new generation of Mondeo are also inextricably linked, especially in the interior part, the most representative 1.1 meters wide oversized central control screen is impressive. In terms of size, the car's three-dimensional "expansion" to 4982/1865/1485mm, the wheelbase is 2930mm, not afraid of the same level of "34C" long-axis version.
Infiniti QX60
▲Core selling point: Dongfeng Nissan introduced domestic, six/seven SUV, finally do not use CVT.
Compared with the American Changan Lincoln, the Japanese Dongfeng Infiniti localization has not been generally recognized by domestic consumers, the Q50L, QX50 market performance on sale are relatively cold, only 13,478 vehicles were sold in 2021, a year-on-year plunge of 46.04%, not only can not compete with the German ABB, but also far less than Cadillac, Lexus, Volvo and other brands, completely "outsiders" in the luxury car market.
However, Dongfeng Infiniti has obviously not "given up treatment", and the brand's new medium and large SUV, the QX60, has been launched in China in mid-December last year and announced a pre-price of 450,000-660,000 yuan, which is expected to be officially launched in the first half of this year.
Like the same level of Cadillac XT6, Volvo XC90, Lincoln Aviator and the upcoming BMW X5 L, this car is also a domestic six-seater/ seven-seat SUV model, because it is a horizontal platform, so its price still has a certain advantage over its peers.
In terms of size, the new generation of QX60 is 5127/2005/1767mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which is a standard horizontal platform SUV model with a standard size to accommodate three rows of seats or relatively easy, and the space performance will not be too cramped.
The focus is on the powertrain part, the engine is still the same Nissan VC-TURBO 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine with twin scroll tubes, double injection, double cycle, maximum power of 185kW, but the transmission is not Nissan's usual CVT, but the use of zF-supplied transverse 9AT transmission, although the experience of this transmission is also average (Honda Guandao, Jeep Commander, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, etc.), but it is a planetary gear transmission, more worthy of its luxury car positioning.
Audi Q6
▲Core selling point: from the MQB Evo platform, the main three rows of seven seats, volkswagen Tuang shell?
In 2021, SAIC Audi launched the A7L model for the Chinese market for the first time, with an official guidance price of 459,770-777,700 yuan. In 2022, SAIC Audi will continue to expand its lineup to include the Q5 e-tron from the MEB electric drive platform and the audi Q6, a new seven-seat medium and large SUV from the MEB Evo platform.
The internal code name of audi Q6 is AU516, which is different from FAW Audi's Q5L (MLB Evo platform), which is the product of Volkswagen's MQB Evo platform, with a front-facing horizontal layout, featuring a three-row seven-seat layout.
Judging from the test car, the size of the car is also significantly larger than the Audi Q5L, which is a bit of a shell of Volkswagen Tuang, and the space performance is undoubtedly worth looking forward to.
As for the power, the car is still using the Volkswagen EA888 2.0T engine, if it is released at the end of the year, it is possible that it is the fourth generation of EA888, if the progress is faster, it is estimated that it will not wait for this new machine head to be introduced into the SAIC Volkswagen production line.
Genises G90
▲Core selling point: Korean luxury car ceiling, the new flagship of the Benchmark Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
In the field of flagship luxury cars, the Chinese market is basically firmly controlled by the German "78S", but recently, we have seen a new generation of Genises G90 test cars in China, which indicates that this Hyundai Kia flagship car will enter the Chinese market in the form of vehicle imports.
The new generation of G90 extended version
The new generation of G90 has been released overseas, there are two versions of the standard wheelbase version and the long wheelbase version, the new car adopts a more fashionable avant-garde front face design language, the front grille is "diamond-shaped" design, with parallel line LED headlights and through-line under the surrounding, it looks very recognizable. In terms of size, its length, width and height reached 5465mm/1930mm/1490mm, the wheelbase was 3370mm, and the length and wheelbase were increased by 190mm compared with the standard version.
Sitting in the car, the new car adopts black/brown interior color matching, and the details are decorated with rich chrome elements to divide the functional modules, with diamond-shaped stitching and solid wood panels, which emphasize the modern luxury experience while also has a strong retro temperament.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine, with a maximum power of 380 horsepower and a peak torque of 530 Nm, which is matched by an 8-speed manual transmission, and the four-wheel drive system and air suspension will not be absent.
Maserati Grecale
▲Core selling point: the brand's second SUV model, with lower positioning, refers to the Porsche Macan.
In recent years, the top luxury brands have launched million-level SUV models, Maserati is no exception, the first SUV - Levante guidance price of 84.18-191.58 million yuan, the domestic market is extremely hot.
In 2022, Maserati will also launch a second SUV model, the Grecale, which is positioned lower than the Levante and is aimed at the Porsche Macan, which is also a midsize SUV.
From the spy photos, Maserati's family characteristics are also fully highlighted on this car, for example, the front grille is filled with a straight waterfall type net, the middle "trident" logo is also very eye-catching, in addition, as a performance car, the car uses a more aggressive clamshell canopy design, bringing a stronger sense of dive, while the bumper air intake and diversion lip are also more obvious.
Like the Porsche Macan, this lower-positioned sport SUV will also launch a 2.0T 48V mixed version, referring to the active Ghibli, although it is an in-line four-cylinder engine with a displacement of only 2.0L, but through maserati's violent tuning, its maximum power is 330 horsepower, peak torque is 450 Nm, and it is also one of the proper "ceilings" in the same displacement.
