GAC Aean suddenly increased the price, up to 10,000 yuan!
Recently, GAC Aean official suddenly issued an announcement, announcing that from March 4, the price adjustment of its AION Y, AION S Plus, AION V Plus and other models has recently been made, but it is generally based on price increases, and for consumers who are ready to buy a car, this price increase has no warning, making people completely unresponsive.
The price adjustment of GAC Aean this time, the increase is more obvious, of which the AION S Plus series rose by 4,000 yuan, AION V Plus in addition to the most expensive 70 super fast charging version and 90 ultra-long endurance version, the rest of the models have risen by 5,000 yuan. As for AION Y, the price increase is the most, the price of the whole series has increased by 10,000 yuan, and the "beggar version" of the 2022 60 happy version, the cheapest model has now been cancelled.

According to the official explanation, the reason why GAC Aean wanted to adjust the price this time is first of all because of the sharp rise in raw material prices, and secondly because of the impact of the new energy car purchase subsidy. Therefore, the three most popular models of GAC Aian, AION Y, AION S Plus, and AION V Plus, inevitably have to increase in price.

In fact, GAC Aean is not the first brand to increase the price of new energy vehicles, since 2022, Tesla, Xiaopeng, Weilai, Nezha, BYD, Euler, SAIC-GM-Wuling, FAW-Volkswagen, etc. have successively adjusted prices. The two models of black cat and white cat under Euler even had to temporarily stop receiving orders because of the loss caused by the rise in raw materials.
List of new energy vehicle price increases in 2022
Affected by the world situation, domestic oil prices continue to rise, which is an opportunity for the new energy vehicle market, but the recent collective price increase of new energy models, coupled with the recent increase in the premium of new energy vehicles, the favorable conditions seem to be partially offset. It can be said that this year's new energy vehicle market is not as smooth as expected.
However, the strong force of the new energy vehicle market in 2021 still makes major car companies full of confidence, and various new energy models will continue to be launched. At present, various external factors will not have too serious an impact on the development of the new energy vehicle market for the time being.
Bydy Frigate 07 was exposed, feeling stronger than Don DM
In addition to the Dynasty network model, we seem to have not heard the news that BYD wants to push SUV for a long time, indeed from the perspective of Ocean Network, there is no SUV model currently on sale, so BYD is also actively preparing, just recently suspected ocean network new SUV has been exposed.
Suspected BYD frigate 07 spy photo
We learned from a backup production notification letter exposed by the domestic media that BYD will launch the frigate 07, which is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, which will be listed in the first half of this year (2022) according to the plan, and start production in May.

Frigate 07, the name is not the first time to appear, in the previous BYD was exposed in the registered trademark has the word, also belongs to the BYD warship series. However, due to the tight camouflage of spy photos, we cannot know what the frigate 07 looks like for the time being.
However, it is reported that the frigate 07 is based on the BYD X DREAM concept car, which can also be proved by the rough outline of the front face, so we may as well refer to the design of the concept car. However, from its interior spy photos, the frigate 07 still adopts the Dragon Face 3.0 design language of the Dynasty family, and the classic rotatable large screen and small electronic gear are still not absent.

In terms of configuration, the production notice letter mentioned that it will be equipped with an integrated electric adjustment seat, a 15.6-inch DiLink system control screen, 12 speakers, a 5G network, a panoramic sunroof, an atmosphere light, an LCD instrument and other configurations.
We are most concerned about the power, it will use BYD's popular DM-i super hybrid system, which is composed of 1.5T high-power engine + motor, is expected to be provided by four-wheel drive models, pure electric mileage of up to 200 kilometers, from the exposure of the tail mark "4.7S", its performance can not be underestimated, which makes us look forward to its release more.
The temperament is not bad at all H9, and The new generation of Hongqi H5 is coming
Today (March 7) some netizens exposed a group of hongqi new generation H5 no fake spy photos on social platforms, I believe you may think at first glance: Isn't this Hongqi H9?
Hongqi's new generation H5 has no fake spy photos
Otherwise, this is the new generation of Hongqi H5, why dare to be so sure? Because the tail logo of the model in the spy photo can prove its identity, in addition, the current Hongqi H5 is already a product of 2017, and it is time to usher in a replacement.
I have to say that the flagship H9 shape of the H5, temperament at once to improve several grades, to talk about the aura, personally think that the new H5 is no less than any medium-sized car, in addition to this classic straight waterfall grille to do the lifting, it will also lengthen the engine compartment, this is the general high-end car will use the design, although it is a front-drive model, but to create a rear-drive luxury car model.
In addition, Hongqi's new H5 also has an extra youthful flavor than H9, such as more exaggerated heat dissipation ports, more stylish sports rims, and more exquisite through-line taillights... All make it look not very solemn.
Just when we thought that the new H5 would also copy the interior design of the entire H9, we did not expect that it had some surprises. From the spy care, it is not the use of H9's horizontal central control screen design, but replaced by a better size, similar to the new Mercedes-Benz C-class inclined central control screen, compared to the serious interior atmosphere of the H9, the new H5 will have a stronger sense of technology in the car.

The netizen did not disclose any power information, but according to the current power layout of Hongqi, we expect that the new H5 will use Hongqi's self-developed 2.0T engine, I believe that the horsepower adjustment will be lower than the H9, and the probability will also use a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I have to say that the iterative upgrade of the new H5 of Hongqi is successful, especially the atmosphere upgrade that domestic consumers pay the most attention to, the new H5 can be said to firmly grasp their tastes, of course, whether it can really please Chinese consumers, the key is how the pricing is.
Chery Tiggo 8 PRO real car exposure, which is like others
A few days ago, we reported the spy photos of Chery's new Tiggo 8 PRO, but due to limited clarity, we can't determine its overall shape, but today (March 7), the real car of Tiggo 8 PRO was exposed, and we can basically determine that "Chery is an imitation monster".
Chery Tiggo 8 PRO real car
Why? Judging from the entire Tiggo 8 PRO front, where is Chery's family design, is this not the shape arranged by Changan designers? The same "X-shaped" front face, we can also find it on the CS75PLUS, even if it is replaced by the Changan logo, I think there is no sense of violation at all.
Changan CS75PLUS
You may think that this kind of "X-shaped" front face shape is not the first of Chang'an, which is not surprising! I dare not deny this, but the Tiggo 8 PRO also has signs of imitation in other aspects, such as taillights, putting it together with the third-generation Haval H6, both of which are simply two cars carved out of a mold.

Third generation Haval H6
Although Chery has not been able to give much resonance in the design, but it will not fall to the point of copying peers, fortunately, in the interior part of this exposure, it still has its own unique ideas, the whole interior is more like the upcoming OMODA 5 design, although this is already a bad street "double screen", but its interior materials create a good sense of grade, but also a plus.

Judging from the previous declaration information and the model logo, Chery Tiggo 8 PRO will provide 1.6T/2.0T engines with 197 and 254 horsepower output respectively, and it is expected that like the Tiggo 8 PLUS, it will also use a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and provide four-wheel drive models.
Although Chery has a good reputation for mechanical quality in the industry, it has been criticized for many years in design, and even some car owners have said that "I buy Chery cars have nothing to do with appearance", Chery is not unaware of this problem, in the past three years, from the replacement of Tiggo 7, Tiggo 8 and other models, we can see that it is trying to change.
Even if there is no effect in the market, but at least Chery has worked hard, and now the Tiggo 8 PRO look comes out, making people obviously feel that Chery has been poor in donkey skills, if you don't care anymore, I believe Chery will soon be lost in a homogeneous model.
Foshan people's favorite brand is gone? The network rumors that Acura wants to withdraw from the Chinese market
What about Acura going to exit the Chinese market? Recently, this sudden news has spread in the major media, and I am afraid that not only the Foshan people who have the deepest feelings for Acura are deeply concerned, but even the melon-eating masses want to see it to the end.
Acura CDX
The reason for such a message on the Internet stems from the fact that the only 4S store in Beijing, "GAC Acura Beijing Jingang Store", has recently officially stopped selling, and some media have learned through the understanding of dealers that from 2021, Acura has stopped the import car business in the Chinese market, domestic models have also seen discontinuation, and 4S stores sell inventory cars produced last year.
GAC Acura 4S store
However, judging from the information obtained so far, this news is not completely hammered. After a number of media, including Caijing Network and Sina Auto, contacted the relevant person in charge of Guangqi Honda and received a response, all of which denied acura's withdrawal from the Chinese market.
Acura RDX
If Acura really wants to withdraw from China, it will not come as a surprise at all, because its sales have been very dismal over the years, and even if the joint venture with GAC has achieved domestic production, it has not changed its fate. In 2021, GAC Acura's sales have fallen to only three digits. Most of this part of the sales volume is estimated to be created by the Guangdong market, of which Foshan users account for a lot.
Gac Acura historical sales data
Acura can not come out of Guangdong, is one of the biggest problems of this brand, in the brand image construction, Acura has not spent too much energy, in addition to some of the older generation of Cantonese people identify with this brand, many people actually do not know this brand, because the car logo and Changan is also very similar, and even will make a joke that Acura is mistaken for Chang'an.
On the left is the Changan car logo, and on the right is the Acura car logo
Some people think that excluding the brand factor, Acura's models can also belong to the ranks of good cars, but this is limited to those who have driven Acura but will not buy Acura. For the consumer group of luxury cars, if the brand is not loud enough, it is equivalent to spending money in vain, because there is no action to show the status of status.

At the same time, Acura has not been able to understand the sense of luxury that Chinese consumers want, at least in the eyes of many people, Acura's models always can't get rid of Honda's temperament, in addition to the more advanced materials, it doesn't feel different from Honda, and even changing the car logo of The Honda will not feel that there is anything wrong (overseas Acura models often do this), consumers will think: Why spend so much money to buy a car similar to Honda?
Lexus ES
Since Acura has not yet officially announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market, that is, there is still room for improvement, and since Acura is positioned as a luxury brand, it should not be separated from the needs of users, and the low-key image cannot bring much benefit to the brand. Acura wants to go more smoothly in China, or it is better to learn from the Lexus experience.
