Let's take a look back at the big things in the second week of March to see what new cars, news, and news are available.
A number of new cars entered the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
In the 354th batch of new product announcements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements", a number of pickup truck products were announced. Among them, there are three pickup trucks that deserve our special attention. The first is the Zhengzhou Nissan Ruiqi 7, the new car will have two types of standard axle / long shaft, and will be equipped with Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi's newly developed 2.0T gasoline engine, and will also launch a rear axle multi-link suspension model. The second model is SAIC Bull Demon King, the new owner plays deep off-road and offers a drag capacity of 3 tons. The third is the Great Wall Cannon Dragon Bullet, the new car is jointly built by "SHELBY" and Great Wall Motors, the whole vehicle is biased towards the American BAJA style, and has been professionally modified in many parts, so that the vehicle has a strong off-road performance.
For off-road users, SAIC Bull Demon King and Great Wall Cannon Dragon Bullet are all new choices in the off-road pickup truck market, and the powerful off-road performance is more worth looking forward to. The Ruiqi 7 has also undergone certain changes in terms of configuration compared with the Ruiqi 6, and a number of upgrades have been made in terms of power and configuration, and the new car is expected to have stronger competitiveness in the future.
In February, the actual sales data of domestic pickup trucks was announced
This week, the sales data of domestic pickup trucks in February 2022 was released, and according to statistics, a total of 27,111 pickup trucks were sold in the month, down 4.4% year-on-year. From January to February 2022, a total of 59,451 pickup trucks were sold, down 7.2% year-on-year. February is the off-season for car purchases throughout the year, and the relatively early Spring Festival this year has led to the early arrival of the off-season for car purchases in February. At the same time, factors such as the lack of cores and the epidemic situation have also had a certain impact on the domestic pickup truck market.
Overall, the performance of the domestic pickup truck market in February 2022 is relatively normal, and companies still maintain a good momentum. Due to the early end of the Spring Festival holiday, the market in March is expected to pick up earlier, and the next pickup truck sales have the opportunity to usher in a significant increase.
Changan Kaicheng F70 flat bottom cargo box listed
This week, Changan Kaicheng F70 also followed the market trend to launch a flat-bottomed cargo box product, the products listed this time include two-wheel drive excellence version and four-wheel drive excellent version models (both long shaft), the price range of 116.9-12.99 million yuan. The shape and configuration of the new car are consistent with the original products, and only changes have been made in the shape of the cargo box, which has effectively improved the loading efficiency of the vehicle.
In order to fully enhance the practicality of pickup trucks and meet the cargo needs of related users, flat bottom cargo boxes have become an important configuration in current pickup truck products. As each manufacturer launches its own flat-bottomed cargo case pickup truck, this market will continue to develop and will become more and more mature.
