The wind and frost of heaven and earth are exhausted, the weather is clean and harmonious; the new years are added, and the spring is full of old mountains and rivers.
It is probably a deep-rooted national plot, and I always think that only after the Lunar New Year can we enter the new year.
As the saying goes, in addition to the replacement of old peaches for old charms, the automobile circle has also ushered in a new atmosphere.
Since the end of last year, companies have begun to warm up new cars in 2022, and recently it is the tide of resuming work, and the push that has temporarily cooled down during the Spring Festival has also warmed up again.
Judging from the information that has been disclosed, the new cars that will be launched in the first half of this year alone are enough to dazzle people.

Tank 500
Although the tank only achieved brand independence in the first quarter of last year, and only one tank 300 is currently on sale, sales are still remarkable, with 84,588 vehicles delivered throughout the year, accounting for 7% of the total sales of the Great Wall.
At last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, its second product Tank 500 also opened pre-sale, the number of orders exceeded 26,000 units within 4 days of opening the pre-sale, you can imagine the popularity of this hardcore off-road brand, and even some people boldly opened the wheat "The era of Toyota's hegemony may end."
Compared with the tank 300, the appearance, interior and various configurations of the tank 500 are more advanced, and may also be based on the solid reputation laid by the tank 300, consumers have some trust in the technology of the Great Wall, so after the tank 500 announced a pre-sale price of more than 300,000, many people are willing to pay.
It is understood that the tank 500 is equipped with a 3.0T+9AT power system, off-road capabilities are worth looking forward to, although many people criticize its high fuel consumption, but in fact, the Great Wall has unveiled a tank 500HEV model in Thailand, if it is introduced to the Chinese market, off-road and fuel saving, there is still a chance to all in.
Lincoln Z
Since the debut and pre-sale at the Guangzhou Auto Show, lincoln Z has gained a lot of attention, and the new car is different from Lincoln's past products in terms of naming method and exterior interior.
The shape of the Lincoln Z highly restores the ZEPHYR concept car, which not only pays tribute to the classic to a certain extent in the appearance, but also continues the American luxury in the interior and details, and also makes a certain consumer insight into the Z generation and strengthens its sense of intelligence.
Lincoln Z series of standard 2.0T high-power engine, in the same level of luxury brands have a lot of advantages, 255,000-342,000 yuan of pre-price, to the competitive models of no small pressure, this product will be listed in March, may have the opportunity to become a new benchmark product.
BMW Brilliance X5L
Since the official declaration of the domestic BMW X5L in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in December last year, many consumers who want to buy volvo XC90 and Lincoln Aviator have stopped and waited for the car to be listed.
It is understood that in order to cater to the Chinese consumers' obsession with "big", the domestic BMW X5L has lengthened the wheelbase of 110mm, and also introduced a 6-cylinder 3.0T engine in passing, although the large size makes its sportiness slightly weakened, but the spaciousness is comparable to that of the BMW X7, or hit the consumption pain points of many users.
It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, a suspected bmw Brilliance X5L internal price was exposed, but also marked with the "accuracy rate of 99%" caption, as a first-line luxury brand, the price of 558,000-758,000 online transmission does not seem to have opened a gap with the second-line luxury, but it is not impossible to face Mercedes-Benz GLE, Dior Q7, if you want to achieve increased sales, the price is not impossible.
Jiangling Ford Lingrui
Since Jiangling Ford decided to enter the passenger car market, the pace has been quite fast, successively released the collar, lingyu, and at the end of last year also unveiled a new mid-size SUV: Lingrui.
Because the two brothers have not succeeded, the upcoming Lingrui carries a lot of sales pressure, as a medium-sized SUV, its length, width and height of 4630 * 1935 * 1706, wheelbase of 2726mm body size, can only be said to be decent, space obviously can not become its selling point.
The 1.5T engine matches the power configuration of the 7-speed wet double clutch, which also makes many people say "almost meaning", Jiangling Ford bet on Lingrui, it is estimated that it is another gamble with a win rate of half.
FAW Besturn B70S
"FAW Mazda was delisted, and its related models were merged into Changan Mazda for sale", which can be regarded as one of the most sensational news last year.
The CX-4, which belongs to FAW Mazda, as the sales pillar of the Mazda brand in China, is destined to have no successor models with its delisting, which makes people sigh.
But at the end of November last year, FAW, which has a CX-4 patent, turned the car into FAW Besturn's first coupe SUV by "shelling": the Besturn B70S, although Besturn intended to "reshape" it, but still retained the shadow of the CX-4.
According to the existing information, the B70S will be listed as soon as March, and it will provide two different power combinations of 1.5T and 2.0T, which are much stronger than the two self-priming engines of the CX-4, but whether it can continue the high reputation as desired is still unknown.
Hybrid
WEY MOCHA DHT-PHEV
Last year's double twelve, WEY Mocha DHT-PHEV opened the global unbox blind booking, which not only captured the popularity of the double twelve shopping festival, but also added a fashionable blind booking game, which is worthy of the Great Wall of play.
The new car is based on the lemon platform, the overall and fuel version is not much different, mainly in the power part of the Great Wall self-developed DHT hybrid system, but it is nearly 100,000 more expensive than the fuel version.
However, combined with its 39.67kWh PHEV battery, 0.45L 100 km fuel consumption, 4.8s zero hundred acceleration and other conditions, as well as its usual main intelligent technology, breaking through the pre-price of 300,000 is still reasonable.
In fact, WEY brand sales have been flat, the cumulative sales of the whole brand throughout the year is only 67681 vehicles, even if mocha and Huawei second princess Yao Anna group CP debut, but there is no significant increase in sales, hybrid version can not break this strange circle, still need to look forward to.
Geely Star Yue L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version
Although the reputation of Toyota Hybrid is still the same, in the past two years, independent brands have also made a lot of achievements in this regard.
At the end of December last year, Geely Automobile held a ceremony called RayTheosophical Hi · The live broadcast event of X Hybrid Technology "Live Open Season" showed the achievements and details of its latest hybrid technology, which caused a lot of heated discussion, including many praises.
Geely put the Thor hybrid on the Hoshikoshi L, but also made it one of the most anticipated hybrid SUV models in 2022, the hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine and two motors, the maximum power is 180kW, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is as low as 4.3L, known as "the strongest heV model of the same level and the lowest fuel consumption", of course, the real experience of how to get started by consumers themselves.
In order to distinguish it from the fuel version, the design of the hybrid version is more futuristic, and the car logo that can be lit is a major highlight, which is a good improvement in the identity of the hybrid version.
The popularity of Xingyue L itself is not low, whether it is product strength or price, it has won the goodwill of many consumers, on this basis, Geely's new hybrid technology has been added, and the product strength has been improved a lot.
BYD Song MAX DM-i
BYD's DM-i series models have been selling well, such as Song PLUS DM-i, Tang DM-i, Song Pro DM-i, etc., which have received a lot of praise.
As the MPV market is getting hotter, BYD is not satisfied with only sedan and SUV models, and began to cover DM-i to MPV models, in mid-January, its first DM-i series MPV model Song MAX DM-i opened pre-sale.
With the blessing of the super hybrid system, Song MAX DM-i accelerates to 7.9s per 100 kilometers, surpassing the level of mainstream 2.0T engines, while maintaining BYD's consistent fuel-saving style, with a fuel consumption of only 4.4L per 100 kilometers of power loss, and its power and fuel consumption are fully advantageous in the same level.
Compared with Song MAX, the biggest feature of this car is the "small backpack" on the roof, officially called the "upgraded roof", but this bold design may also dissuade some consumers, and the pre-price of 50,000 higher than the fuel version may also make it look less "fragrant".
Changan UNI-K iDD
As a high-end product series under Changan Automobile, the UNI series has maintained a good performance since its listing, and the two cars have contributed 120,000 sales, and this year, the application of the iDD platform in the series may have a further promotion effect.
The exterior design of Changan UNI-K iDD is highly consistent with the fuel version, only some minor adjustments have been made, and it is still focused on the grasp of the sporty atmosphere and sense of technology, not too bold but also has a certain degree of recognition.
It is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine + motor composed of a plug-in mix system, is also a tank of fuel more than 1000 kilometers of long endurance runners, but its opponent should be BYD Tang DM-i and the above-mentioned WEY Mocha DHT-PHEV, there is still a lot of pressure.
Pure tram
Euler Ballet Cat
Great Wall is very good at marketing, which can be seen from the colorful naming and bold and personalized product designs of its sub-brands.
The debut of the ballet cat should be at the Chengdu Auto Show in the third quarter of last year, since its debut has not decreased in popularity, recalling the punch card grandeur of its booth at the Guangzhou Auto Show, really eye-catching, especially loved by female consumers.
From the appearance to the interior, one should be retro, girly design, belongs to the "most understanding of women" Euler's consistent style, because of its popularity, the inside and outside information of this car are almost disclosed, in summary, throw away the eye-catching appearance, its configuration can only be considered decent, but to meet the daily is enough, the most important out of the street is very windy.
It is worth mentioning that it is precisely because of its high popularity that some people predict that its pricing may be raised with it, if so, it should dissuade many consumers who are fascinated by this "cute goods".
Dongfeng scenery MINIEV
The data shows that Wuling Hongguang MINIEV 2021 annual sales of up to 400,000 units, becoming the 2021 China new energy single model sales NO.1, its achievements stimulated a lot of enterprises, even Dongfeng Motor is no exception, a look at the name of Dongfeng Fengguang MINIIEV is known, it points directly to Hongguang MINIIEV.
Not only is the name similar, but the styling and design of this car are also similar to Wuling Hongguang MINIEV. The difference is that Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV has more advantages in size, and the power of the two drive motors (25W and 40W) on board is also larger, and the price is lower, according to the pre-price of the network, its price range is 28,600-41,600.
Lower price matching better configuration, Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV may become a model that competes with Hongguang MINIEV, but it is only possible, after all, Wuling's brand power has been placed there, in the case of a small price difference, it is estimated that many consumers will still choose to sell more than 550,000 Hongguang MINIIEV.
BYD Dollar PLUS
In addition to the above-mentioned hybrid model Song MAX DM-i, if there is no accident, BYD will also launch a pure tram dollar PLUS in the first half of this year, which has opened pre-sale two days ago.
The new car is built on a new e-platform, equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 150kW, with an acceleration time of 7.3s per 100 kilometers, which is not bad in the same level of competitors, and it will provide 430km and 510km endurance.
It is worth mentioning that its interior is themed on the theme of the hormone-bursting gym, and the elements of sports equipment and music equipment are added to the details, which is very sporty, and its audience should be sports fans.
GUANGQI Honda e: NP1
In response to the flame ban targets proposed by various countries and companies, Honda has also stepped up its pace, planning to electrify all new cars on sale worldwide by 2040, and launching a new pure electric brand "e:N" last year.
The e: NP1 is the first shot fired by GUANGQI Honda's transformation in China, which was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November and is expected to be listed in the first half of this year.
The appearance of the new car is slightly similar to the new Binzhi unveiled at the beginning of the year, but the design of the front grille is fully enclosed to emphasize its pure electric identity, and its logo also adopts the new logo of the e:N series, which still retains the honda flavor after using the new design language.
It is worth mentioning that its battery pack is built together with the Ningde era, which is guaranteed in terms of safety, and the endurance of more than 500km also has a certain competitiveness, as long as the pricing is thick and has Honda's strong quality endorsement, it should be on fire.
Hiphi Z
The memory of Gaohe Hiphi X at the Guangzhou Auto Show still remains in my mind, which is worthy of being ridiculed by many people as "breaking the ceiling of domestic electric vehicles", its products are indeed very high-grade, and Hiphi Z, as its second mass-produced product, still takes the route of "high-end atmosphere on the grade".
Its appearance is characterized by organic armor wind, and like the mech dragon of the Great Wall, it makes a similar prediction of the future trend direction, and just by looking at its appearance, there is a sense of déjà vu that crosses from science fiction movies, which is very eye-catching.
Its interior design, like the cockpit of the spaceship, greatly enhances its sense of technology, and the simple style of the purpose emphasizes the sense of luxury, because of its avant-garde design, it is also known as "the car from 2041".
However, the high price and the lack of brand influence are doomed to become difficult to become a blockbuster product, and Tesla and Wei Xiaoli occupy a lot of market share in new energy brands, and this luxury electric vehicle brand has to work harder.
SAIC-GM Cadillac LYRIQ
This luxury medium and large SUV, which was also launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show, broke through 2000 within an hour of opening the booking, and for this level of model, the results are very good, as if in the face of electrification transformation, Cadillac did not have much soil and water.
The LYRIQ is SAIC-GM's first electric vehicle based on the Aoteneng electric vehicle platform, with a wheelbase of 3094mm and an overall size of C-class SUV.
In order to get closer to the aesthetics of the Z generation, while emphasizing the large space, Cadillac also pays attention to the fashion of the whole vehicle modeling, and caters to the aesthetics of young people in appearance, interior and configuration, as a century-old brand, while conquering electrification and Z generation must have taken a lot of effort, but the new products it brings to users are undoubtedly amazing.
SAIC Audi Q5 e-tron
As the first pure electric vehicle model of sachinia Audi brand, audi Q5 e-tron has already opened pre-sale, and within 3 days of pre-sale, the number of orders exceeded 40,000 units.
Just listen to the name, there may be people who doubt whether this car is based on Q5L oil to electricity, but the truth is not the case, compared to bmw that constantly changes oil and electricity, Audi's pure electric car based on the MEB pure electric platform has given a lot of sincerity.
The new car still retains the Audi family's iconic octagonal front grille, but it also highlights its pure electric identity with a closed design, at the same time, the overall appearance emphasizes the sense of electricity and futurism, which can convince many BBA loyal fans.
Although its endurance advantage is not large, the pre-price of its main sales model of about 400,000 is still relatively close to the people, even if it is not inferior to strong opponents such as the ES8 and the ideal ONE, what is important is that this car marks the official opening of Audi's electrification process.
Che TanJun
observe
However, in addition to the new cars mentioned above that will be listed in the first half of this year, there are also Xiaopeng G9, NIO ET5, Toyota bZ4X, Nissan Aria, Kia EV6 and other cars in the second half of the year, and in 2022, the automotive market will bloom again.
On the one hand, after accumulating power for a short period of time, traditional car companies have begun to change their mentality and speed up the electrification process, and the reactions made by veteran luxury car companies such as Audi and Cadillac are the best proof.
At the same time, as the first batch of crab-eating Wei Xiaoli has also smelled the intensified competitive atmosphere of the new energy track, they have pulled out new products to maintain their hard-won leading position, but unfortunately, the heavyweight Tesla does not seem to have the intention of launching new products this year, but a brain into the electric pickup truck.
On the other hand, in addition to the sedan market and the SUV market, this year's micro and small car market and MPV market will usher in a new round of heating, and the two markets that are still a blue ocean will be filled with more products, and the long-stable share may also undergo a new round of reshuffle.
Generally speaking, with the trend of "new four modernizations", independent brands have seized many opportunities to climb upwards, and 2022 is the year in which they work together, and new energy is still the keyword of the new year.
The unknown is always fascinating, and we may wish to wait and see what kind of unpredictable "mutation" the Chinese auto market will usher in in the new year.
