There is no most volume, only more volume inventory of Chinese brand SUVs that will be launched in 2024
The popularity of SUVs is believed to continue until 2024, and Chinese brands will continue to make efforts to launch new models. Unlike some joint ventures that insist on new fuel vehicles, independent brands can be said to be basically new energy, even if they are mainly hard-core off-road, they also use plug-in hybrid forms. Let's take a look at several popular SUVs that will be launched in 2024 today.
Ideal L6
Less than 250,000 to realize the ideal dream?
Ideal L6 was unveiled in the list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in January, the new car adopts a 5-seat layout, the size is smaller than the ideal L7, or it will be officially launched in April this year, and the price is expected to drop to 250,000 yuan.
The Ideal L6 adopts a family-style design language, with through-type lighting design at the front and rear, and a popular hidden door handle on the side of the body. The rear of the car looks very full and atmospheric, with a continuous taillight cluster, and the angle of the D-pillar that transitions from the roof to the rear part of the car has changed, giving the overall feeling of slipping back.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Ideal L6 are 4925mm/1960mm/1735mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm, which can be seen as a smaller version of the Ideal L7. The new car can be equipped with LiDAR and different styles of rims.

It is expected that the L6 will also use the same 1.5T range extender + front and rear dual motor power combination as the L7, but the battery capacity may be reduced to lower the price.
Model comments: Ideal L6 will be the most people-friendly product in the ideal family at present, this year the ideal will send a lot of big moves, in addition to the ideal L6 just mentioned. Like the current 7, 8, and 9 models will be renewed, and the blockbuster MPV model Ideal MEGA will also be unveiled, but whether the Ideal L6 will be the best-selling model of Ideal will be left to tell you.
Navy G318
Leopard 5, Tank 400 Hi4-T feeling the pressure?
In 2023, Great Wall created a precedent for new energy hard-core SUVs, and then the Leopard 5 came menacingly. But there is still room for most models in this market, such as the new G318 of Deep Blue, which is the official official picture of the new hard-core SUV officially released by the Deep Blue brand. According to the previous plan, the car will be launched in 2024 and will compete with hardcore SUVs such as the Tank 400Hi4-T and the Formula Leopard Leopard 5
Judging from the official pictures released, the overall style of dark blue G318 is very hard, and there is a hint of cyberpunk, using a classic square box shape, the front shape is square, equipped with "C" shaped LED daytime running lights, and the visual effect is very sci-fi. At the same time, the shape of the front bumper of the new car is very rough and thick, full of wildness.
The side lines of the body are tough and three-dimensional, with raised wheel arch lines at the front and rear, five-spoke wheels and AT tires, showing a strong hard-core style. In addition, the new car also adopts a hidden door handle design, and the lower edge of the window at the D-pillar position has a clear upward profile, which is quite different from the hard-core SUVs on the market, and looks more individual.
At the rear, it is equipped with the iconic external spare wheel of a hard-core SUV, and through the design of the door handles, the tailgate will be side-open, and the taillights are also in a "C" shape, echoing the headlight cluster. In addition, in terms of expandability, Deep Blue G318 also provides a wealth of original extensions, including luggage racks, headlights, electric pedals, backpack bags, spare tires, etc.
In terms of power, the dark blue G318 will be equipped with a super extended range hybrid system, which will be available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, with a 1.5-liter engine as a range extender, with a maximum power of 110 kilowatts, and a maximum power of 185 kilowatts for single-motor models, and a maximum power of 131 kilowatts and 185 kilowatts for dual-motor models, respectively, with a combined maximum power of 316 kilowatts.
Model comments: According to the current published information, the off-road ability of the dark blue G318 has no obvious disadvantages compared with the two main competitors, the power parameters are relatively top-notch, and the design can combine hard and technology well. Although Chang'an has not launched too many off-road products in recent years, Chang'an has a strong off-road gene in the inheritance of enterprise manufacturing, so you can look forward to dark blue G318.
Hiace 07 EV
The first product in the new SUV series
In the future, the ocean network will integrate the SUV model as the sea lion IP and the sedan model as the seal IP, so that the ocean network will eventually form a series of marine IPs such as seagulls, dolphins, seals, and sea lions. Among them, the Hiace 07 EV launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year is the first model under the Hiace sequence IP, and it is also the first pure electric mid-size SUV product of Ocean Network.
The Hiace 07 EV is designed by a design team led by BYD's global styling director Wolfgang Iger, and thanks to the flexibility of BYD's e-platform 3.0 and CTB battery-body integration technology, the new car has more perfect body proportions. Therefore, the real car gives people a very smart feeling, which is in line with the design idea of "marine life".
The front face of the new car continues the design of the OceanX concept, further strengthening the family concept of the OceanX series models. Specifically, the car adopts Haiyue double U suspension lights, with a sharp headlight group and an exaggerated three-section air intake below, which is full of dynamics. At the same time, the two raised rib lines on the front hatch also greatly enhance the muscular feeling of the vehicle.
On the side of the body, the Hiace 07 EV's stretched proportions give people a strong spatial imagination, and the graceful and smooth curve of the roof extends to the rear of the car, which has a prominent visual effect. At the same time, the raised shoulder line and the simple and powerful double waistline design create a nice sporty atmosphere. The body dimensions of the new car are 4830/1925/1620mm, and the wheelbase is 2930mm.
At the tail, rich straight lines and agile curves are intertwined, forming a strong visual impact. A number of horizontal lines are integrated with the side waistline, which enhances the visual width of the body. At the same time, the addition of the popular through-type taillights enriches the sense of hierarchy.
According to the latest application information, in terms of power, the Hiace 07 EV is based on BYD's advanced e-platform 3.0 technology and adopts pure electric drive. The model will be offered with a total of three power options, with the 2WD model having a maximum power of 170kW and 230kW, respectively, and the 4WD model with a maximum power of 160kW and 230kW for the front and rear drive motors.
Model comments: When it comes to new energy vehicles, BYD can't be bypassed. Although the specific interior has not yet been announced, the exterior design is enough to make people look forward to it, and the products of Ocean Network are mainly cost-effective, and I believe that the price of the Hiace 07 EV will be attractive in the future.
Etsuya Treasure PLUS
The 5-door version of Yue is expected to be launched in February
Yue also let many people realize the first pure electric SUV, and the subsequent announcement of Yue Ye PLUS can be regarded as the "enlarged" model of Baojun Yue Ye on sale, judging from the declaration drawing, the new car adopts a 5-door design, so compared to the 3-door Yue Ye, the body size will be significantly larger.
