Once the MPV market was a niche market segment, but now it has become a battleground for fuel vehicles and new energy, you don't need to have too many MPV models, but there must be, in order to highlight the brand's positioning. The Ideal MEGA and Xpeng X9, which represent the new era, have been launched, and NIO's MPV is also being planned.
In addition, we learned from the official that the design drawings of Xingtu Auto's new MPV model were exposed, with the internal code name E08, and will be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show that opened on April 25. Previously, Chery registered the "Xingtu Dream Boat", which may be the name of this MPV.
As the first MPV model of the Xingtu brand, referring to the previously exposed spy photos of the new car and the official design drawings this time, its styling design should be different from the traditional fuel car MPV, or adopt a new design, the front face is equipped with a large-size grille, with a family-oriented headlight group, and the roof line is also smooth and natural enough.
It is expected that the body length of the new car is about 5.2m, and the official positioning is "exclusive and comfortable flagship MPV", the appearance of enough atmosphere is there, and the only MPV is naturally the flagship level, but as for the sense of luxury, it may only be highlighted by the price.
Frankly speaking, the price of the ideal MEGA is really not low, and the Xingtu MPV should be cheaper than it, and the reference to the 359,800-419,800 yuan of Xiaopeng X9, if it is more expensive than Xiaopeng X9, it will be even more difficult to sell. Of course, there may be hard bones such as GAC Trumpchi M8 and Denza D9.
In addition, we also learned that the Xingtu MPV may belong to the Xingtu series, which is based on the Xingtu high-performance electric platform E0X, and provides an 800V architecture, and there will be two options in power: pure electric and range extender.
