"Domestic Odyssey" will be on the market! 1.8L hybrid + large 7 seats, or 150,000, has become a hit?
The MPVs mainly developed by our domestic car companies are medium and large, such as Denza D9, Trumpchi M8, and lack of medium-sized MPVs for Honda Odyssey and Alishen. The good news is that the self-owned brand will soon have a mid-size MPV on the market, and the price of the new car must be very low, that is, the Trumpchi E8 and the fuel version of the Trumpchi M7.
First of all, we need to clarify a concept, these two models are actually the same model, but the power system is different, so they are distinguished by two names. The second is that the positioning is all medium-sized MPVs, and the appearance design is very luxurious and eye-catching.
Taking this Trumpchi E8 as an example, the new car adopts a very high-tech through-through front design, incorporating sports surround and sharp front design elements, which is not only stylish, but also has a very low drag coefficient. The position of the A-pillar is obviously inclined and integrated with the side, which not only effectively reduces wind resistance, but also enhances the aesthetics.
On the side of the model, it is equipped with a power sliding door, and due to the addition of the battery, the center of gravity of the whole vehicle is low. In addition, this Trumpchi E8 comes with a privacy glass design unique to ordinary commercial vehicles.
The interior design has also been exposed, and the Trumpchi E8 adopts a symmetrical center console design, which has brown leather and piano paint panel, which is the easiest way to create a sense of luxury. In addition, the full LCD trip computer screen, the large floating center control screen, and even the digital HUD head-up display function, coupled with brown leather seats, mobile phone wireless charging, such a configuration is definitely a qualified opponent of Honda Odyssey.
The current exposed configuration of the car can be seen that this Trumpchi E8 has a 360-degree panoramic image system, luxury interior ambient lights, segmented sunroof, second-row seat heating, ventilation massage and self-contained leg rest design, which will indeed make Odyssey and Alicon have a lot of pressure. In the body data part, the length, width and height are 4920/1900/1765mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2930mm, which is positioned as a medium-sized MPV. The Odyssey has a length, width and height of 4847/1820/1702mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm. Through comparison, it can be seen that the body length of this Trumpchi E8 has more advantages than the Odyssey.
The Odyssey is equipped with a 2.0L plus motor composed of a hybrid system, and this Trumpchi M7 is also the same power system, and even some friends said that it is a standard changing version of the Odyssey. It is worth mentioning that Trumpchi E8 is equipped with plug-in hybrid, matching 1.8L plus motor composed of plug-in hybrid, this 1.8L engine is also a familiar "old friend", the advantage is that the cost is low, but also very reliable.
This Trumpchi E8/M7 will be officially unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show in the near future, considering that the price of the Trumpchi M8 is positioned at about 180,000, so this medium-sized MPV is likely to start at 150,000, and the pricing of Trumpchi cars has always been very aggressive.
The launch of these two new cars is another major competition for the Honda Odyssey. In fact, Honda Odyssey's sales have been rapidly declining, and the average monthly sales are about 2,000-3,000 vehicles, which is very average. More importantly, the disadvantages of the Honda Odyssey without a rear crash beam, poor sound insulation, and thin paint have been further amplified by the spread of the Internet.
