Last year, an MPV boom continued from the Chengdu Auto Show to the Guangzhou Auto Show. At the same time, the layout direction of this heat wave is also undergoing some changes. According to the 2021 MPV market insurance number and trend research shows that 100,000 yuan is almost monopolized by Wuling; 100,000-200,000 yuan prospects are uncertain, selling better only Wuling Capgemini and Trumpchi M6; more than 200,000 yuan is no longer a monopoly, after the revamped odyssey, AliShen, and Trumpchi M8 borrow the power of South China's home field, sales are expanding.
From the data, it can be explained from the side that the 100,000 yuan MPV market is still monopolized by Wuling's tool car, and there are many unknown variables above 100,000 yuan, for example, from the consumer demand level, with the consumption upgrade, the second-child and three-child family structure changes, consumers need an MPV that can improve the quality of travel and take care of all the needs of the family. I think it is also for this reason that the MPV market of more than 100,000 yuan in 2022 ushered in a wave of heavy new cars. As for which blockbuster MPV to list? No hurry, let's look down.
Seeing that Trumpchi M8 is mixed up in the high-end MPV market, as a big Chinese brand, how can Hongqi let go. As early as November 2021, Hongqi officially released the matrix map of its products, and through the feedback in the map, it was learned that Hongqi did have plans to launch MPV models, which further confirmed the spy photos circulated later. From the spy photos, the seat layout of Hongqi's first MPV is a 2+2+3 layout, the rear row adopts "aviation-grade" independent seats, and the highlight of the second row is that the seats are equipped with liftable pedals, and the doors also use independent speaker speakers, and comfort is one of its major selling points.
In terms of appearance, it can be seen from the spy photos previously exposed that the new car continues the Faw-hongqi family-style design style, similar to the Hongqi H9, and visually feels the atmosphere and luxury of this MPV. As for the power, it is expected to be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine + 48V light mixing system, and a 3.0T supercharged V6 engine, and the transmission part will match the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It is not difficult to see that Hongqi intends to impact the domestic high-end MPV market, and the new car does not currently have an official name, and it is expected to be mass-produced as soon as June 2022.
From the perspective of Chinese brands, Weipai's popularity is obviously not low, and it is also the first brand in China to successfully embark on the high-end route, so its appeal is absolutely no problem. Back to the main topic, from the current information, Weipai's upcoming two MPV models have very little news of exposure. But that doesn't affect our reverie about it. According to the previous Wei brand's new product planning, it can be speculated that these two cars are probably two MPV codenamed M81 and M83, which will be positioned as medium-sized MPV and medium-sized and large-scale MPV respectively, focusing on the home market and the business market.
Among them, the MPV model with the interior drawing exposed, we were able to see more information. From the spy photo, it can be seen that its design style is not much different from Wei Pai's current coffee series, the main central control console area adopts a high design, and there is a very considerable storage space reserved below, and then there are iconic crystal stall handles and three large screens. However, Xiaobian believes that if the interior of this MPV really adopts the same design as the current Wei brand, it is completely acceptable, because from the practical point of view, this design is also fully in line with the functional attributes of its MPV.
Compared with the two MPV mentioned above, BYDSha has already had news as early as last April, and said that future competitive models may be locked in Buick GL8, Honda Alexand and other models. It is reported that this year's BYD summer is coming. Because the road test is covered with a thick layer of camouflage, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture. However, some of the design elements exposed make people feel that its middle net should follow some of bydir Han's design elements. However, BYD has also released a teaser chart before, from the appearance point of view, the streamlined body design is quite modern, and the appearance is very good.
BYD Summer is positioned as a medium and large MPV with a body length of more than 5000mm and a wheelbase of more than 3000mm, and is available in 7-seater and 4-seat versions. However, the most anticipated thing is the power part, BYD Xia will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system, as to whether to use the DM-p that tends to power, or the DM-i that tends to fuel consumption? BYD has said that the new car has a pure electric endurance of 200 kilometers and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.0 liters per 100 kilometers, so it seems that it will definitely use a DM-i super hybrid system that is more conducive to fuel saving.
As one of the earliest Lynk & Co to achieve high-end Chinese brands, it is naturally thinking about expanding its product line in terms of product layout. Lynk & Co MPV has been exposed before the spy photo, the new car is heavily camouflaged, but you can see that the overall shape is relatively conventional, especially from the side, the straight, square shape does not have too many highlights, which also maximizes the space in the car.
In the interior part, Lynk & Co MPV uses a new design, unlike Lynk & Co or Extreme Kr, the central control uses a large-size suspension screen, plus LCD instruments, the sense of science and technology is not bad at all. The rest, such as the specific information of body size and power, is not yet known, but as the first MPV model of Lynk & Co or Extreme Kr, I believe that in these two hard indicators, it is basically not bad. Finally, considering that the Krypton brand has said that it will launch MPV in 2022, it is not excluded that the car is built based on the SEA Haohan architecture and thus be classified under the Extreme Krypton brand.
