From the statistics of the Association of Automobiles, the sales list of the MPV market in February this year can be found that Wuling Hongguang still has the top sales of tens of thousands of vehicles in the market, while the Buick GL8, which is in second place, has also achieved monthly sales of 25,000 vehicles. To be honest, although the monthly sales of Wuling Hongguang are nearly 2 times more than those of Buick GL8, after all, the price gap between the two is not small, so from some points of view, Buick GL8 can also afford the title of evergreen tree in the MPV market. It is worth mentioning that with the increase of 6 or 7-person families, the audience of the MPV market has gradually increased, and the market has also ushered in many new cars, among which the Toyota Saina sold at a higher price is just the standard Buick GL8, and in February this year, it also ranked among the top three in the MPV market with monthly sales of nearly 10,000 vehicles.
In fact, from the perspective of the economic strength of many people, the starting price of GL8 and Xena's super 200,000 yuan is not cheap, so I think it is difficult to become a popular car. The price of Wuling Hongguang is quite close to the people, but compared with THE GL8, Senna and other MPV models, it is still slightly inferior. In comparison, I think that the Trumpchi M8 and Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi positioned in the medium-sized MPV market are not bad, especially the Lingzhi with a starting price of less than 60,000 yuan, which is also close to the people in the price part, and after the Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi, Dongfeng has released a new MPV, which is the Dongfeng Fengxing Yacht. It is understood that the new car is based on the new "Super Cube EMA architecture", unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, officially released on the 15th of this month, and will soon be listed.
To be honest, when I saw the front face of the GL8 before, I felt quite exaggerated, and later, when I saw the front face of the Toyota Alpha, I felt that the front face of the GL8 was actually fine, but now the front face of the popular yacht once again made me feel what is "exaggeration". It is reported that the wind yacht into the "front dynamics" design, large size grille almost occupies the entire front, the periphery is decorated with silver decorative strips, the internal net is a straight waterfall hedging design, and blackening treatment, the outline of this part, at first glance, there are some like Lexus family grilles, looking really sharp and domineering.
The waistline on the side of the body is designed in an upward design, and the upper and lower edges of the windows are inlaid with slender silver decorative strips, among which the silver decorative strips on the lower edge are also integrated with the decorative strips at the front grille, creating a penetrating design, to a certain extent, improving the slenderness of the body. Although the front and rear wheel eyebrows are not equipped with black protective plates, they are also carved through the lines of the concave contour, and the multi-spoke wheel shape is still quite chic, and each spoke adopts a continuous pen design, which is not low to look at.
The rear of the car is equipped with a through-line light strip, and the tail light integrated with the light strip is in a "Y" shape, and the light strip inside the tail light is placed in a straight waterfall design, which can bring a good lighting effect. The letter-style car logo is embedded in the edge of the through-type light strip, and it still looks quite young. The large rear bumper surface below is also studded with a large black skid plate, which adds a lot of sports even if it does not provide dual exhaust outlets.
The center console in the car adopts brown and yellow and three colors of design, which makes people shine, plus the three-frame multi-functional steering wheel, the inner door panel, the seat and other parts, all of which use bright color design, adding a lot of warmth. The air conditioner outlet embedded in the center console adopts a round hole design, the leather at the armrest of the inner door panel, and the diamond-shaped texture designed through the seams, combined with the gearbox with black bright plates as the main decoration, but it improves the high-end and luxurious atmosphere of the car. In addition, at the front of the steering wheel, you can see the dual screen design, and the screen is close to the driver's side, which is easy for the driver to control.
In terms of size, the Fengxing Yacht has 4850/1900/1715mm three circumferences, 2900mm wheelbase, and provides a 6/7 seat layout, from such a size data point of view, I think the Fengxing Yacht is likely to be positioned in the medium-sized MPV market, to know that the same is the medium-sized MPV of the Odyssey, it has 4861/1820/1712mm three circumference, 2900mm wheelbase, compared with the two, you can find that the length, height, wheelbase gap is not large, The wide part of the car is slightly better than the popular yacht, so it seems that when 3 people sit in the same row of seats at the same time, you can also feel a good lateral space.
As for power, the Wind Yacht is likely to be powered by a 1.5T engine, mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, bringing a maximum power of 197 horsepower. Odyssey is equipped with a 2.0L engine as the core of the hybrid system, bringing 205 horsepower maximum power, compared to the two, the performance account data is only 8 horsepower difference, such a gap in the actual use of the car, it is difficult to feel the gap, so it seems that the performance of the popular yacht is also good. In general, the overall product strength of the popular yacht is not bad, but whether it can be sold in the end depends on whether the price is close to the people.
