Just after looking at the domestic car sales in April, most car brands basically have different declines, the overall trend is not optimistic, and the market also needs more new models to stimulate sales.
Affected by uncontrollable forces, many new cars that were originally intended to be unveiled at this year's Beijing Auto Show have been postponed or sold online. Today, let's take stock of several blockbuster new cars that will be listed in May, each of which is worth waiting for.
Lantu Dreamer
Listing time: May 7
New car price (forecast): 380,000 yuan ~ 600,000 yuan
Highlights of the new car: The wheelbase is more than 3 meters2, providing pure electricity and range extender power
As the most concerned new car in the first half of the year, Lantu Dreamer opened the pre-sale for the first time, with its excellent product strength and high positioning, it aroused strong concern in the industry. For a long time before, the domestic high-end independent brand MPV market was almost a blank, and Lantu Dreamers made up for this gap.
As a new energy MPV new car, and is a luxury MPV of such a large size, Lantu Dreamer from the appearance design, to the interior materials, to the technology configuration equipment, almost all are full, overall worth its price.
First of all, in terms of size, the wheelbase of the Lantu Dreamer reaches 3200mm, which is longer than both the Buick GL8 and the Toyota Senna. Moreover, at the intelligent level, there are remote remote control parking systems, full-scene automatic parking, L2+ level intelligent auxiliary driving systems and so on.
From the previous experience of driving Landu FREE, Landu's extended range power system is still very worthy of recognition. Not only is the power strong enough, the main thing is that it will drive more smoothly, and it will also be quieter. For MPV at this level, these are far more important than others.
The sword may not be welcomed by the market, and at present, some new MPV models are needed at this price point, especially new energy products. For those who really have MPV needs, Lantu Dreamer may really be a new attempt worth paying for.
BYD Don EV
Time to market: Mid-May
New car price (forecast): 280,000 yuan ~ 350,000 yuan
New car highlights: 30mm increase in length, endurance of more than 700 km, acceleration of 4.4 seconds per 100 km,
As the best selling brand in domestic new energy vehicles, BYD has been too hot in the past two years, not only the DM series products are selling well, but also pure electrical products are becoming more and more abundant and more popular.
As the family's flagship product, BYD Tang EV attracted much attention when the new car was first unveiled in April. The new car has changed relatively largely, and the latest closed design of the front face resembling family not only looks more in line with its pure electric identity, but also can reduce the wind resistance very well, thereby reducing energy consumption.
In terms of endurance, BYD Tang EV provides two CLTC working conditions of 635 km and 730 km, which is a very large improvement compared with the current model. The new BYD Tang EV still provides two versions of single motor and high-performance four-wheel drive, of which the high-performance four-wheel drive version can accelerate 100 kilometers in 4.4 seconds, which is already very fast for SUV of this size.
The new BYD Tang EV is 30mm longer than the current model in terms of size, and a six-seat version of "2+2+2" is added. In terms of configuration, the HUD head-up display function will also be added, and the top model will also provide a 12-speaker Tanner premium audio system, and the overall configuration will also be greatly improved.
Compared with the mainstream pure electric SUVs of the same level on the market, BYD Tang EV products have great advantages, especially at the level of three-electric technology. Thanks to the good reputation accumulated by the brand and products, BYD Tang EV should be easier to sell after listing.
Changan Ford Explorer
Listing time: May 20
New car price (forecast): 300,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan
Highlights of the new car: Interior upgrades, replacement with a 27-inch giant screen
With the official listing of the new generation of Mondeo some time ago, more and more users have begun to pay attention to the Changan Ford brand. As the main sales force of Changan Ford, the Explorer has been selling very well with its tough body shape, large space and excellent power performance.
Today, the explorer ushered in a mid-term redesign, the new car on the basis of the original to fine-tune the appearance, still using a large size grille, but the details of the use of dot matrix design, the rear of the double exhaust is also changed from the original round to square, tough a lot.
The interior changes are obvious, the mid-to-high-end model will likely be equipped with the same 27-inch giant screen as the new Mondeo, and the car machine system will also be upgraded to the family's latest SYNC+ 2.0 Zhixing connected car machine system, which is more practical and technological. The power part is still equipped with the current 2.3T engine, and there is no change.
The Changan Ford Explorer sells well because it is large enough in size, power also takes into account performance and fuel consumption, and stability is good. On the basis of the current model, the new explorer has brought a significant improvement to the intelligence, and presumably the new model should be more popular with the market after the listing.
FAW-Volkswagen Bora
Time to market: End of May
New car price (forecast): 98,800 yuan to 157,000 yuan
Highlights of the new car: 1.2T power and a new interior upgrade

It is reported that the new Bora will cancel the existing 1.5L power and replace it with a 1.2T engine. This change still caused a lot of sensation in the car circle, after all, FAW-Volkswagen Bora's hot-selling models have always been 1.5L versions, and now they are equipped with 1.2T power, although the power has not changed much, but it is necessary to add No. 95 fuel, which is still more tangled for users.

New car price (forecast): 133,000 yuan to 172,000 yuan
Highlights of the new car: the body is lengthened, the new front face is replaced, and the suspension central control screen is equipped to increase the power of 1.5T
Faw-Volkswagen Bora at the same time also changed faw-Volkswagen Sagittarius, as one of the best-selling family cars in the A+ class, Sagitar has now become bigger and bigger in size, this upgrade and the new Bora is basically the same, mainly is the internal and external trim, but the power is very much looking forward to.
The new Sagitar has not changed much in terms of appearance, but the interior also brings a 12-inch floating central control screen, and is equipped with a zebra car networking system, which further increases the interactive experience of intelligent technology.
It is worth mentioning that the new Sagitar will bring a new 1.5T power on the basis of the original 1.2T and 1.4T power. Although this engine has long been used in overseas markets, the engine technology and power are still remarkable, compared with the current engine, not only stronger power, but also better fuel consumption performance.
Nowadays, although many brands are also pushing cross-level products, such as Geely Xingrui and Toyota Lingshang, they all belong to this category, but Sagitar's position in the A+ level market has always been a benchmark level, and now it is equipped with new power, and brings stronger intelligent technology configuration, presumably there will be new breakthroughs in sales after listing.

The exterior style of the dress-up is closer to that of the Passat, offering the same two front face styles of the Starry Sky Edition and the Normal Edition as the Passat, which is more popular among young people than the new Sagittarius and Bora.
Like FAW-Volkswagen, the new Langyi also brings a new three-frame steering wheel and a 12-inch suspension central control screen in the interior part. But unlike that, the new Langyi will continue to provide 1.2T, 1.4T and 1.5L power, which is not as good as the new Sagittarius.
The reason why the new Langyi can often top the list of family cars of the same level is mainly because its product strength is balanced enough and the price is relatively close to the people. This new listing, if the price fluctuation is not large, with the new design, it will definitely be more popular in the market.
