4 new American cars worth looking forward to: more and more understand the taste of Chinese people, just squat the price?
In August, U.S. models sold a total of 166,800 units in China, making it the only overseas brand model to maintain a year-on-year increase. In this way, the momentum of American cars in China is not weak, but we know that Tesla is still relying on Tesla to support the market.
However, the launch of new American brand cars is not slow, according to rough statistics, two new American cars were launched every month in the first half of this year. It's just that at the sales level, under the tide of new energy and the continuous squeeze of independent brands, the existence of traditional American brands is getting lower and lower.
Of course, these traditional brands are not without action, and a number of new cars will gradually be launched. The product is fragrant, it depends on the price! Which one are you most looking forward to?
Chevrolet has a new generation of explorers
What to watch: Will be launched in November, Chevrolet's first hybrid SUV, how much will be excited?
In May, the explorer just ushered in the annual facelift and listing, but now the discount is not small, and the terminal is about 40,000 yuan. Despite this, the current Explorer only sold 1,600 units in August, and even only 631 units in July, which is a hot mid-size SUV segment.
We are looking forward to the new generation of models coming by the end of next year. Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has declared that the new generation of explorers will adopt Chevrolet's latest family style, similar to the Trailblazer, the hardcore style has increased, in line with the traditional American muscle SUV.
New Generation Explorer Regular Edition and RS Edition
In addition, the body size will also be slightly increased, the length of the car is 4653mm, the wheelbase is 2730mm, and the width and height are more obvious.
The key upgrade is that it will be equipped with GM's latest 1.5T engine, which is expected to be the new LaCrosse one, but the parameter tuning will be different, the maximum power is 127kW, and the transmission part may be changed from an AT transmission to a CVT transmission.
At the same time, there will also be a 2.0T fuel version and a PHEV version, which will become Chevrolet's first model equipped with plug-in hybrid in China.
In the interior part, the new car will be equipped with a VCS intelligent cockpit, which will be equipped with a large joint screen similar to the Buick LaCrosse.

Buick's new Envision
What to watch: CR-V is not fragrant? The new car is replaced with the same front face + new logo of LaCrosse, and a double screen is added to the interior
Also a mid-size SUV, Envision is much more than the explorer, with sales of nearly 9,000 units in August, and monthly sales can often hover around nearly 10,000 units. This car now has a terminal concession of about 70,000 yuan. It is reported that the new Envision may be launched in November.
Referring to the pricing strategy of the new models of Regal and LaCrosse, the guidance price of the new Envision family may be reduced, and the starting price may come to 169,900 yuan. As can be seen from the official picture, the new Envision adopts the latest family design, coupled with a new LOGO, and the overall style tends to be electrified.

In the cockpit, the new Envision will be equipped with the same design as the new generation of LaCrosse, with an integrated curved 6K screen for EYEMAX, and some models will have the Super Cruise super assistant driving system, which has been replaced by a more technological new interior, and its market competitiveness will inevitably be improved.
In terms of power, the all-new Envision S will be equipped with a 2.0T engine of the LXH model, which has a maximum power reduction of 7 horsepower to 169kW, while the all-new Envision PLUS will be equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 155kW.
Ford Bronco Limma
What to see: Original, Fierce Horse Mark! If the price is 300,000 fire?
Bronco has been introduced domestically for a long time, and I have been looking forward to it. Recently, this matter has finally been hammered, it has officially entered the declaration directory, I guess it will be listed at the Guangzhou Auto Show at the earliest, and the delivery may wait for the first half of 2024.
The domestically produced Bronco will be handed over to Jiangling Ford, which is experienced in producing off-road vehicles, and will be marked with the Fierce Horse logo, but the rear of the car will have the Jiangling Ford logo.
The most attractive thing about this car is the shape, square box shape + double round lights. You can see that the lower surrounded tow hook, all-terrain AT tires, huge wheel fender and external spare tires, and even removable roof roof, etc., all tell you that it is not what it looks like.
Before domestic production, Liema entered the country by way of parallel import, with a landing price of more than 600,000 yuan. Now after domestic production, the price of new cars should be greatly reduced, the probability is about 300,000-400,000 yuan, and then boldly predict, the final transaction price of 300,000 yuan is not impossible.
It's just that now domestic off-road SUVs are also quite strong, take the new car, tank 400 Hi4-T, Equation Leopard 5, etc. are teasing most consumers. Bronco's advantage lies in its long history and feelings, and this car has been very successful since its birth in 1966, and the second/third generations are also very successful, often appearing in various movies and games.
According to the declared information, the new car will be equipped with a 2.3T engine with a maximum power of 202kW, and the domestic version will only provide a 10-speed automatic transmission. The overseas 2.7T V6 is not available. It adopts an independent trapezoidal girder structure body, and the official has also applied for a trailing qualification, which can legally and legally tow a large RV in the future.
In the rise of domestic brands and the blooming of domestic hardcore SUVs, if Ford Lima really starts at 300,000, what will you choose?
Cadillac Escalade IQ
What to see: one lap bigger than the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and more luxurious than looking up at the U8!
Looking up to the U8 as a "million" debut, in the domestic market, in addition to the Mercedes-Benz EQG SUV will become its competitor, there is also Cadillac's new electric large SUV Escalade IQ.
Production of the new model is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2024 and is expected to go on sale by the end of 2024. At the same time, it will be imported into domestic sales in the same period next year. The car is expected to start at US$130,000 (about 950,000 yuan) overseas.
The dimensions of the new car greatly surpass those of the Looking Up U8, which is 5697x2167x1934mm and has a wheelbase of 3460mm. It is based on GM's Autoneng platform, Cadillac's sense of interior technology and luxury can not be inferior to domestic brands. The car provides four interior theme colors and 126-color adjustable ambient lights, and the center console is equipped with a 55-inch LCD instrument cluster + LCD central control + LCD co-pilot interconnection integrated screen, and an 11-inch multi-function control screen is also provided below.
