Blockbuster new car
The official map of the domestic BMW X5 was released
The much-anticipated domestic BMW X5 was finally officially released this week, and the new car is scheduled to be listed in April this year, so far, the domestic X5 has also become the highest specification SUV ever produced by the three major BBA luxury brands. In terms of design, the domestic X5 is not much different from the imported version, and the front face is still BMW's classic family style, which is highly recognizable.
Top: Imported standard shaft / Bottom: domestic long shaft
The biggest change in the domestic X5 is the side, in order to make up for the small space in the back of the imported X5, the domestic model has lengthened the wheelbase by 130mm, and the wheelbase after the lengthening has reached 3105mm, which is directly at the same level as bmw flagship X7. Because of this, the rear door of the domestic version of the X5 is significantly longer, even longer enough to make the side of the car show a slight MPV flavor. The length, width and height of the final domestic X5 also reached 5060/2004/1779mm, and the size was very amazing.
The design of the rear of the car has also not changed, only the logos of "BMW Brilliance" and "Li" reflect its domestically extended identity. In addition, like imported models, the domestic version of the X5 also offers a maximum of 22 inches of spoke rims, and the rear wheel specifications can reach a staggering 315/30 R22.
The interior of the domestic X5 has not changed much, still using a dual 12.3-inch screen design, and retaining the highly acclaimed crystal block. The storage compartment in front of the barrier has been redesigned to become a single cup holder and a more convenient wireless charging pad for mobile phones.
Thanks to the 130mm wheelbase lengthening, the rear space of the domestic X5 is extremely spacious. You know, if the back row of the current standard axis X5 is an adult who rides 180cm, it is basically only about 1 punch. Now with a 130mm longer wheelbase, the rear legroom should be 2 and a half punches away! As for power, the domestic X5 will continue to provide 2.0T, 3.0T engine options, the maximum power is 272 horsepower, 370 horsepower, standard 8AT gearbox and xDrive four-wheel drive system. In addition, the domestic version of the X5 will also be equipped with electromagnetic suspension as standard, and high-end models can also be equipped with optional air suspension.
As for the price, considering the current price of imported X5 69.99-83.99 million yuan, we speculate that the domestic version of the model may be slightly lower, but it will not be too cheap, and perhaps the starting price of 600,000 is more reasonable. Of course, if you think that the domestic X5 long-axis version is not original enough, it does not matter, because the imported standard shaft version of the model will continue to sell, like which can be bought!
The new F-150 is available for domestic order
On March 1, the new generation of Ford F-150 Raptor (Raptor) officially accepted reservations in China, and the vehicles were pre-sold by using a small program to order cars online. Perhaps because the car was too hot, the mini program was quickly paralyzed after it was launched, and then the official temporarily closed the scheduled channel at 12 noon on March 2.
The new generation of F-150 Raptors will be imported by Jiangling Ford, all models will be produced by Ford's Dearborn Trucks plant in Michigan, USA, and the after-sales service of the vehicles will be taken care of by Jiangling Ford's preferred authorized dealers. The new F-150 Raptor is equipped with a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine, with a maximum power of 423 horsepower and a maximum torque of 684N·m, which is slightly lower than the US version, and should be adjusted to meet the emissions of the national 6b. The gearbox is still 10AT and matches an intelligent all-wheel drive system.
In addition, the vehicle comes standard with FOX adaptive damping shock absorbers, a 7-mode MTS multi-terrain management system, and a 24-inch coil spring, the longest original suspension stroke ever for the F-150 Raptor. In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with a 136.3L large fuel tank as standard, and the original factory can achieve an endurance of nearly 1000km.
The reason why the new F-150 Raptor is so popular in China is mainly because it has certain financial potential. It should be known that the second-hand old raptor emitted by China 5 was less than 600,000 new cars at that time, and now second-hand cars have even been speculated to more than 800,000. The new raptor is rumored to be priced at no more than 600,000, so it will most likely become a wealth management product after it is in hand.

New domestic forces sold in February
In March, each company also announced its sales data for February. Since February is basically the traditional Chinese New Year every year, consumers mostly choose to buy a car before the holiday, so February is usually the month with the lowest sales volume every year. As can be seen from the above table, ideal cars delivered 8414 new cars in February, becoming the brand with the highest delivery volume of domestic new forces. But in fact, the ideal delivery volume reached more than 12,300 units in January, and by February, it fell by 30%, but it still ranked first.
It is worth mentioning that ideal was also announced this week, and the second model of its brand was officially named "L9", which will make its debut at the Beijing Auto Show, which opened in April this year. The ideal L9 positions a large SUV with a length of more than 5.2 meters and a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender structure, with a 44.5kWh battery pack and a 65L fuel tank, with a pure electric endurance of 155km and a total cruising range of more than 800km. In addition, the ideal L9 will also be equipped with lidar, which has stronger driving assistance capabilities at the hardware level.
Nezha Car can rank second, I believe that everyone is more surprised, as a new power brand whose popularity is far less than that of "Wei Xiaoli", it has a muffled meaning of making a fortune. In fact, the reason why Nezha's sales are so high is because it has targeted the entry-level market from the beginning. For example, its main sales of Nezha N01, Nezha V, these two models, are small SUVs with a starting price of only more than 60,000, the price is very cheap, and the endurance of 300 to 400km can also meet daily use.
The compact SUV Nezha U launched last year is priced at 102,800-179,800 yuan, and the endurance of 400 to 600km has also reached the mainstream level of the industry. In addition, Nezha also has procurement cooperation with some enterprises and institutions and mobile travel companies, which has also stabilized the sales of the brand to a certain extent.
Xiaopeng and NIO are relatively stable, of which NIO's ET7 will achieve the first delivery in March, and the mid-size sedan ET5, as well as the upcoming new SUV ES7, will also be delivered within this year, and 2022 is a year worth looking forward to for NIO. As for the models currently on sale, the ES6 is still the highest-selling model in Weilai, accounting for more than 50%; followed by the ES6-based coupe SUV EC6, accounting for nearly 30%; the higher priced ES8 accounted for only about 15%.
Xiaopeng's new medium and large SUV G9 will also open pre-sale in April this year and is scheduled to be delivered in August. Among the three models currently on sale, P5, P7 and G3, the P7 with the highest positioning is still the absolute main force, accounting for more than 50% of sales, followed by the compact sedan P5, accounting for 31% of sales. The G3 compact SUV, which has been on the market for a relatively long time, has relatively low sales, accounting for only 17% of the brand's total sales.
Although the zero-run car has no sense of existence, the sales volume is not bad. Among its brand sales, the T03, a small hatchback shaped like a four-door version of the Smart, accounted for an exaggerated 80%! This car is priced at 6.89-84,900 yuan, equipped with 75, 109 horsepower motors, can achieve 301, 403km endurance, cheap price plus good endurance, indeed can meet the needs of many entry-level consumers.
It is worth mentioning that the C11, a medium-sized SUV launched by Zero Run at the end of 2020, is also steadily increasing as sales have been delivered since October last year. The car is priced at 15.98-199,800 yuan, and the low-end model is equipped with a 272-horsepower rear-drive motor, which can achieve 7.9 seconds of breakthrough acceleration and 510-610km of endurance. The top model has a 544-horsepower dual-motor drive, 4.8 seconds to break the hundred, and a battery life of 550km. Such performance and endurance indicators are still very strong in its price.
