I don't know if you found that in addition to the model naming, Great Wall Motors is very good at pinching the tastes of young consumers, and it is also a frequent poke in the mainstream aesthetic in vehicle design, whether it is the retro rounded shape of the Euler cat series, or the retro sedan dream of the Wei brand, or the traditional hardcore off-road vehicle featuring the tank series, and the mecha dragon of the high-end pure electric brand salon is directly "copying" the four-wheel drive car shape that we loved to watch when we were children.
We don't understand how the Great Wall thinks, all in all, the new cars come out one after another, and the styling design is becoming more and more retro. And in the recently exposed Great Wall high-end car brand BC (internal code), the brand's first car spy photos and patent pictures have also begun to spread on the Internet, it is not difficult to see that the Great Wall is going to retro this road, a road to the black ah, just do this, is it really appropriate?
Recently, the real car map of the first car of the BC brand was also exposed on the Internet, and it can be seen through the picture that the test model is covered with thick clothes, and the confidentiality work of the surrounding staff is also very good, and no one is allowed to get close, but from the wheel shape of the car that is not covered by the car, the test car should be the first model of the BC brand.
The rim shape of the test car is exactly the same as the patent diagram of the new car declared by the BC brand, and judging from the straight lines at the top of the car, it should be the same model. It is reported that the BC brand and the tank brand have some similarities, the earliest are Wei brand (WEY) model planning, and then the Great Wall executives see the potential of the new brand and then separate it, which we can see from the front part of the patent map the outline of the "WEY" logo, it is reported that the price of the new car is between 150,000 and 200,000 yuan, the Great Wall should be the work of the mainstream joint venture B-class car.
Specifically, the new car still takes the retro fashion route, and the front of the car is the spindle-shaped grille net commonly found on the Wei brand SUV, which has a good sense of sport. In addition, the retro four-circle light group design further strengthens the recognition of the front of the car. However, I really want to say that the front shape of the new car is easily reminiscent of the original Nissan GTR, which depends on how the Great Wall designer explains it later.
On the side, you can see that the new car is taking the American muscle car route of the 1960s and 70s, and the horizontal and vertical body lines highlight a good sense of power, which is also in strong contrast with the streamlined car that generally pursues low wind resistance today, and has its own personality. The rear part echoes the front of the car, with a four-round lamp shape, which is reminiscent of some old-school performance cars (the rear of the second-generation Nissan GTR).
The interior patent diagram of the first BC brand car is also very interesting, we did not see the popular dual screen design, which uses the classic dual gun barrel instrument design, and there is no obvious central control screen shape on the center console, so it is estimated that it is an embedded design.
In terms of power, although there is very little information about the new car, based on the Wei brand, and considering the existing power system of the Great Wall, it is not difficult to guess that the new car should have a traditional fuel vehicle, a hybrid version and a plug-in version, after all, the new car's body patent map, both sides of the vehicle are equipped with "injection ports".
Write at the end
At this stage, independent brands are entering the car field and joint venture brands to grab the market, but most of them are making a big fuss in compact cars, and few models that face the joint venture B-class car appear. And this time the Great Wall is not only a sword to the side, but also the design of the vehicle into a retro shape, no matter what the market prospects after the new car comes out, in the end, its current heat and topic degree has been full, but maybe the current young people love the retro car set.
But in the end, we still want to say, the Great Wall you can do retro cars, but the new car "tribute" part can not be less, so as not to fall into the population is not it?
