Not long ago, some netizens passed out an internal price chart of the domestic version of BMW X5L, showing that there are 4 versions of the new car.
Among them, the price of the entry-level 30Li leading version is only 558,000 yuan, while the entry price of the current imported version is 699,000 yuan. And from the published configuration, the configuration of the domestic version is even higher than the overseas version.
In addition to the highly anticipated BMW X5L, it has recently been reported that the third model of the Great Wall Tank brand, the Tank 700, is close to mass production, and it will become the off-road flagship of the tank brand (the Tank 800 is a business luxury style). The domestic version of Infiniti QX60, which has previously opened pre-sale, will also be officially listed in the first half of this year.
Three cars, three different styles, but the price is in the 500,000 level. How will they affect this market? Let the kung fu car take everyone to see it together.
BMW X5L is coming, the luxury SUV market will be shuffled?
At the end of last year, the BMW Group held an online annual meeting with the theme of "home in China", at which the BMW CEO confessed to Chinese fans with an almost "meaty" attitude and claimed that there would be big moves next.
From the current situation, the domestic BMW X5L is undoubtedly the "first bullet" in the big action in 2022.
According to the pictures previously exposed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the domestic version of bmw X5L basically follows the design of the overseas version, and the classic "double kidney grille" and "angel eye headlights" have been completely transplanted, and they are born with their own aura.
However, the new car has been fine-tuned in size, after all, with the addition of "L". The body size of the new car is 5060*2004*1779mm, and the wheelbase is 3105mm. Compared with the overseas version, the width has not changed, after all, it has exceeded 2 meters, and then continue to widen it is also worried about the press line when the traffic lights are pressed. The length has been increased by 130mm and the wheelbase has been increased by 30mm, which guarantees it more rear space as well as more spare trunk storage.
In terms of power configuration, the domestic version of BMW X5L also has two power configurations of 2.0T and 3.0T, both with the classic ZF 8AT gearbox. It is worth mentioning that according to the information released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before, the domestic version of the engine performance is stronger, taking the 2.0T engine as an example, its domestic version has a maximum output power of 200kW, and the overseas version is 195kW, it seems that BMW has further upgraded in the domestic production.
This also means that compared with the overseas version of X5, the new car has been upgraded and equipped after domestic production, and the price has dropped by 140,000+. Especially considering that the current imported BMW X5 is still the same level of sales king, after the domestic play, there is almost no opponent, and even directly impact to the 500,000-level luxury SUV market.
Think of many users who could only consider XC90 and Aviator before, can you also take a look at the new X5L? There is also the current grax and X3 high-power version, in fact, it is nearly 500,000, plus 100,000 can be on X5L, it is difficult to ensure that many users will "defect".
It is hoped that the domestic X5L can become a "catfish" and make the now relatively quiet luxury SUV market move.
Tank 700, more aura than the Land Patrol?
Recently, it was reported that the third SUV tank 700 of the tank brand will be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April this year, and will directly open pre-sale. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, considering the recent frequent explosion of tank 700 road test information in various places, it is certainly not a big problem to go public during the year.
Since the tank 800 will change to the business luxury style, as the most high-end model of the tank brand "Mecha Beast" series, the tank 700 will become a veritable off-road flagship, which can be seen from its shape design.
The front face of the new car is very atmospheric, and the angular lines of the round headlights group bring a strong sense of aggression. The typical non-load-bearing body structure, coupled with the prominent outward wheel arches, gives a strong hardcore texture. The blackened front and rear fenders greatly stretch the visual width of the wheels, making it look full of aura.
According to previous news, the width of the tank 700 is more than 2 meters, and the length of the vehicle is expected to exceed 5 meters 2, which is one circle larger than the tank 500 and one circle larger than the full-size SUV such as the Land Cruiser.
In terms of power, the tank 700 will be equipped with the latest 3.0T engine and 9AT gearbox of the Great Wall, the maximum horsepower of the engine will reach 354 hp, the maximum torque of 500 Nm, ensuring that it can break the wrist with the new Land Cruiser in terms of performance, non-load-bearing body and four-wheel double wishbone air suspension, which can further exert its off-road performance.
The new car will be equipped with BorgWarner intelligent four-wheel drive system, which will not only provide low-speed torque amplification, but also support the realization of off-road functions such as tank U-turns, coupled with excellent passability, so that it can conquer various limits of road conditions.
According to previous news, the price of the tank 700 is most likely between 400,000 and 500,000, which will also be the first time that domestic cars have penetrated into this level. However, compared with a variety of sky-high imported off-road vehicles, its cost performance is still relatively high, after all, regardless of design, configuration or performance, tank 700 is hardcore enough.
Infiniti QX60, can Sinicization succeed?
At the end of last year, the first domestic Infiniti QX60 opened a pre-sale, and the entry price was 450,000 yuan, which was much lower than before. And its biggest feature is the extreme Sinicization.
The first is the introduction of a large number of oriental elements in the design, and the use of a large number of flat lines makes its body contour quite regular and aggressive. Inspired by the front face grille of origami art, it looks like a very strong three-dimensional sense, and the smooth body waist line looks strong and powerful, which are design elements that the Chinese people like very much, and also make it look eye-catching.
In terms of body size, Nissan is not ambiguous, and the length, width and height of the new car reach 5127*2005*1767mm, which gives it excellent riding space.
What is the biggest label for domestic Nissan models? It must have been a big moving couch. On the domestic version of the QX60, Nissan directly used the same Maybach leather. The top half of its seats are made of aniline leather, which is indeed the same as the Maybach and Range Rover, and the touch is very good. Coupled with double-layer laminated glass and thick carpet and soundproof cotton, its NVH performance is extremely outstanding, running at high speeds above 120 yards, and the car is still very quiet. The addition of the 17-speaker BOSE audio has also greatly improved its internal listening experience.
Overall, in this generation of QX60, Nissan chose to take comfort to the extreme.
In terms of powertrain, the QX60 is equipped with a 2.0T VC-Turbo variable compression ratio turbocharged engine and a ZF 9AT transmission.
Honestly speaking, this engine is very classic, with a maximum horsepower of 252 horses and a maximum torque of 276 Nm, the performance is very good, and it is very fuel-efficient, after all, its working characteristics are both high performance and low fuel consumption.
However, there will be greater challenges in the matching of the gearbox, to know that Nissan has always been better at matching the CVT gearbox, this time in order to achieve high-end, only chose to introduce a 9AT gearbox. For the Chinese people, the engine is reliable, and it is also more fuel-efficient, and the follow-up maintenance cost is also low, which is still relatively attractive.
Overall, at the level of 500,000, the QX60 is still quite competitive.
Kung Fu shoots
In the past 500,000-level luxury SUV market, users often faced the choice of "chicken head" and "phoenix tail". Either choose the medium-sized SUV of the BBA, or choose the medium and large SUVs of some second-tier luxury brands.
Nowadays, the domestic version of X5L directly entered the 550,000 level, although there is still a little distance from 500,000, but the cost performance is already very high; and the Great Wall tank 700 and the Domestic Infiniti QX60 also enter this level, and they are full of sincerity.
The addition of these three new SUVs is bound to completely disrupt the luxury SUV market.
