The "off-road battle" between the Great Wall and BAIC may end in the sad exit of the Prado Wrangler
The vast majority of independent car brands are piling up to create urban SUVs, and even have formed a car sea tactic, but the hardcore off-road SUV competition is not fierce, that is, the use of non-load-bearing body architecture and stronger engine products, the general independent brands do not have non-carrier passenger car design and manufacturing experience, not to mention that this belongs to the subdivision field, there is not much research and development enthusiasm. Therefore, the strong sense of existence in the domestic off-road field is two giants, one is the Great Wall, the other is BAIC, and in recent years, these two brands have simply staged an off-road war. BAIC has bj40 and bj80, which use 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines respectively.
And Great Wall Motors originally only had Haval H9 and H5 two traditional products, and now derived an independent brand tank, tank 300 is equipped with a 2.0T turbo engine, and the same positioning is not large, the price range is also very close to Beijing bj40, in this case, the two were equal, the result of the tank 300 directly exploded, and even staged a shortage of queuing drama, last year a whole year Tank 300 a model sales accounted for more than half of the share of the subdivision off-road field.
It can be said that beijing bj40 in the face of the tank 300 attack has been completely defeated, even if BAIC borrowed the same 2.0T engine of the Great Wall in a panic, and even developed an additional 2.0T diesel blade hero version, the result is still unable to beat. Beijing BJ80 was listed earlier, and has a background in military procurement, and has long used the Lingte 3.0T large-displacement 6-cylinder engine, which is supposed to have more advantages than the Great Wall.
As a result, I did not expect that Great Wall Motors prepared a big move, and the new tank 500 model was finally officially launched recently. The official guidance starting price is 335,000, in this case, it is equipped with the independent research and development of 3.0T twin-turbo version V6 power, and the performance parameters are much stronger than the V6 engine borrowed by BAIC, the key is also matched with the Great Wall independent research and development of the 9at hand self-integrated gearbox, in this case, the Great Wall Tank 500 is cheaper than the Beijing bj80, so the next bridge section do not think, the tank 500 probability is a hit.
But don't underestimate BAIC, in 2022 there is a blockbuster new product is about to debut, this car is the new Beijing bj60, has been completed in the alpine area before the test verification, the test version of the model design is very domineering, the tail with a full-size off-road spare tire small school bag, it is obvious that it is also a product that takes a hard-core off-road route, which is likely to bring latecomer advantages, and there will certainly be great progress in design and interior configuration.
What is said above is like a master trick, you come and go very lively, the Great Wall has the characteristics of the Great Wall, BAIC also has its own advantages, so if it continues, the domestic off-road vehicles will definitely become more and more excellent, but the ending may make the Prado and Wrangler such off-road veterans leave the scene, because in contrast, overseas brand off-road vehicles have no cost performance at all, such as now that there is a tank 500, will you still choose the Prado 2700?
The question is, do you think domestic off-road vehicles can completely replace overseas brands? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with fans!
