Recently, the popularity of MPV has continued to rise, and a new independent MPV car that is about to come out has pushed this heat to a climax, which is the BYD high-end MPV transmitted online. Recently we obtained a set of fake spy photos of a new car from relevant sources. It is reported that the new car is positioned as a medium-sized luxury MPV, which is expected to be officially unveiled in April this year.
In April of an even-numbered year, what can you think of? Oh, it's the Beijing Auto Show, so this MPV is likely to make its first public appearance at this year's Beijing Auto Show, and I believe it will become one of the most watched new cars in the whole auto show.
Now that there is more and more news about new cars, let's put it together. It will be the first MPV model of the Denza brand, hey, wait, not to mention BYD? Don't be impatient, let me take my time.
The Denza brand is a joint venture between BYD and Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, established in 2010, with BYD and Daimler each accounting for 50% of Denza's shares. Denza has aimed at the high-end new energy field at the beginning, and it has to be said that it is still very far-sighted, but sometimes it is too forward-looking and may encounter the embarrassment of being untimely.
With the rocket-like development speed of new energy vehicles in recent years, the market has long been different from the past, and the external conditions for Denza to take off have become more and more mature; at the same time, there is also good news inside, according to reports, on the evening of December 24, 2021, BYD and Daimler Greater China announced that the two sides have reached an agreement on the transfer of the equity structure of the joint venture company Denza (Shenzhen Denza New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd.).
After the transfer, BYD and Daimler will hold 90% and 10% of denza's shares, respectively. The matter is subject to the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities and is scheduled to be completed by mid-2022. If the approval is successfully passed, BYD will occupy the absolute dominance of the future development of the Denza brand. BYD's deep technical accumulation in new energy vehicles will bring more possibilities to Denza.
Everything is ready, only owe Dongfeng, this new MPV model with high attention is likely to become the "Dongfeng" of Denza's real departure. Judging from the spy photos, the vehicle shape is tough, the tall and straight front end and the large area of the front windshield, as well as the tall body, all create a powerful aura, no less than Toyota Alpha. The small triangular window at the front door and the rearview mirrors that are moved back are believed to give the driver a better view.
According to the latest information on dentist MPV shared by Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Denza's sales division, on the social platform a few days ago, the new car adopts a conventional MPV seat layout of 2+2+3, and the overall space is larger than that of conventional fuel models; the third row of seats can be flattened, taking into account comfort and safety.
At the same time, the car also has an extra large trunk space. After all, in the daily use of MPV, the probability of more than 5 people traveling in the scene is extremely high, and allowing the occupants to sit comfortably while also being able to put down all luggage is an indispensable quality of an MPV.
In addition, the power side will also become the biggest highlight of Denza MPV, after all, it is a brand of BYD, which can not live up to the name of "new energy leader". It is reported that the new car will have pure electric and hybrid two power forms to choose from, BYD blade battery, will bring it higher safety.
From the market performance and word of mouth of DM-i models to speculate, hybrid version of depressive MPV is very likely to use DM-i system, speculation should have a comprehensive cruising range of more than 1000 kilometers? It is believed that the arrival of Denza MPV will lead the MPV market into the era of new energy.
Recently, the BYD Group brand logo has been renewed, and each brand in the passenger car segment of the automobile industry will use its own brand identity, and the Denza brand is also among them. As the first model after the equity adjustment of BYD and Daimler, Denza's new MPV will surely integrate multiple advantages and resources and become an epoch-making product. We will continue to follow the report on the new car.
