The third row is not discriminated against, and BYD's high-end MPV configuration is exposed
BYD has been preparing its own high-end brand before, but no one expected that this high-end brand is the previous Denza brand, two days ago it also released a set of new MPV trailers, if there is no accident, this is BYD's future new high-end MPV.

Denza only brought a few teaser pictures, and we simply could not get any valuable information, but just today (March 21), Zhao Changjiang, the former general manager of BYD Automobile Sales and the current general manager of Denza's sales division, revealed more product information on Weibo.
It said that the new MPV configuration will be equipped with double sunroofs, double electric sliding doors, four-door double-layer silent glass and high-end brand brands as standard. To be honest, this configuration sincerity is very high, at least in the current market, has not yet started to dare to fully implement the standard four-door double-layer soundproof glass MPV model, but if you tell you, this high-end MPV is expected to be priced at 450,000 yuan, what will you think?

In addition, Zhao Changjiang also replied to some key questions, saying that the new MPV was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in April, and the new DENZA APP is also under development, and the functions of sales, car control and community are not absent.
Most importantly, it said the MPV will have a unique solution in the third row, saying that it will not sacrifice the safety and comfort of the third row, and wants every seat to be luxurious and comfortable. Of course, Denza can no longer use the previous brand logo, it is reported that this Beijing Auto Show will usher in an upgrade and exhibit as an independent brand.

At present, the MPV product, after the official revealed some news, it will be positioned in a medium and large MPV, the length will reach 5 meters 2, and the Buick GL8 is relatively close. In the power system part, the high-end MPV is expected to use pure electric and hybrid power schemes, and the natural blade battery should also be arranged. The hybrid scheme is also the use of BYD's very popular DM-i super hybrid system, and it is not a problem to expect an endurance of more than 1,000 kilometers.
Denza is a joint venture between BYD and Daimler in 2010, and is also positioned as a high-end brand. Unfortunately, after several years of operation, its market performance has not been much effective. This time to pick up again, perhaps because BYD technology has been recognized by the market, want to regroup and fight again, but Whether Denza can succeed this time is difficult to say, we can only wait and see.
Bumped by design! Roewe's new generation RX5 official diagram is coming
SAIC Roewe's new generation RX5 officially released the official map on March 21, which is not much different from the whale released by Roewe not long ago, the front face of the new generation RX5 is a completely different set of designs, the grille occupies a large part of the area of the front face, and it is indeed eye-catching at a glance.

Compared with the relatively modest and simple body contour shape of the past, the new generation of RX5 seems to have a more sporty temperament, and the amplitude of the tail sneak seems to have become larger. In addition, the design of the spoiler, through-type taillights and other designs that are divided into two pieces can still reflect some sense of movement, as for the design of the bilateral double exhaust, I hope it is not just a false exhaust decoration!
Referring to the previously published declaration information, its length, width and height dimensions are 4655/1890/1655 (1664) mm, and the wheelbase is 2765mm, which is significantly larger than the current RX5 on sale. It will be powered by a 1.5T engine code-named 15FDE with a maximum power of 138 kW.
From the design of this car, we can indeed see a lot of innovative designs, changing the previous moderate and simple style, but can these new design elements be accepted by the original consumer group? That's the key.
However, as far as the current brand positioning of Roewe is concerned, they have developed in the direction of rejuvenation, home practicality is no longer the only pursuit of this brand, the use of intelligent technology, and outstanding power performance, is gradually becoming a new selling point of the Roewe model family. Therefore, Roewe's current thinking is probably not wrong, young people like sensory stimulation, and the new generation of RX5 seems to be able to meet such needs.
Cheaper than a tank 500? Beijing BJ60 design sketch exposed
Hardcore SUV enthusiasts have been blessed recently, following the recent launch of the Tank 500, and its direct competitor Beijing BJ60 recently released a set of design sketches, just to rub the heat.

From the sketch, the Beijing BJ60 obviously continues the BJ40's alternative personality style, but the relatively calm body side profile is somewhat similar to the temperament of the tank 500, and the design of the spare tire hanging on the tail maintains the route of the traditional hardcore SUV.
Previously, a set of tables of suspected BJ60 parameters were exposed on the Internet, showing that the pricing of BJ60 is expected to be between 200,000 and 350,000 yuan, and the price positioning is just between tank 300 and tank 500. However, its dimensions are very close to the tank 500, with length, width and height of 5020/1955/1925mm, wheelbase of 2800mm, and available in 5 and 7 seats.

The BJ60 body structure is still a favorite of hardcore SUV enthusiasts, using a non-load-bearing body structure, but the front/rear independent suspension structure is very surprising, and seems to take road performance into account. As for power, the BJ60 will have four options, namely petrol 2.0T+8AT, 2.0T(48V)+8AT, diesel 2.0TD(48V)+8AT, and range extender hybrid, equipped with a time-sharing four-wheel drive system.

In terms of the current product positioning of BJ60, it is still relatively rational, after all, the brand influence of Beijing off-road is still not as strong as the tank brand, BJ60 is between tank 300 and tank 500, just to avoid the risk of direct competition, play another market segment.

Of course, Beijing off-road still has to work harder in marketing, as the predecessor of the hardcore SUV, but now it can only serve as a foil for the younger generation of the tank brand, which is still a bit of a pity.
