In today's domestic auto market, there are many new car products, especially new energy models, and many consumers do not even recognize the brand. However, some classic models, although they are not loud on the Internet, have a very large influence in the market and have a very wide audience, such as some "best-selling" models. Recently, there are three former "sales champions" about to be replaced, what is the product power? Can it attract the attention of consumers again? Let's take a look today.
1. A new generation of Haval H6
Highlights: "Cadillac" front face + new interior design
As one of Haval's best-selling models, the Haval H6 has won the sales championship in the domestic SUV market for 9 consecutive years. Recently, the new Haval H6 information was exposed on the Internet, and it is reported that the new generation of Haval H6 will be officially unveiled at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show.
The new car adopts a new styling design, the front face and tail have been greatly changed, such as the new large grille shape, the interior is set to a shield-style shape, and connected to the two side light clusters, and it can also be seen that the two side light clusters also add tear-eye LED light clusters.
At the rear, the current trend of continuous taillight design has been abandoned and the split shape has been returned, with a black trim plate on the lower surround and a "shark fin" antenna on the roof.
Inside, the new car will be equipped with a large floating center console and a full LCD instrument cluster, while the car also seems to be equipped with the latest in-vehicle system. In addition, the new three-spoke steering wheel style is used, and the multimedia button area is adorned with silver chrome trim and a pocket gear shifter. The new car will also offer practical features such as 50-watt wireless phone charging, cup holders and storage compartments, with additional storage space underneath.
In terms of power, the official details have not yet been announced. However, for reference, the current Haval H6 petrol version is available with a 1.5T engine (high and low power versions) and a 2.0T engine, mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The price range of the Haval H6 currently on sale is 98,900 to 149,800 yuan. What kind of surprises will the new car have?
2. A new generation of Passat
What to watch: A sedan exclusively supplied in China
When it comes to Volkswagen Passat, everyone in the domestic auto market should be well-known. As Volkswagen's best-selling B-segment car, it has been in the domestic market for many years and has always been the best-selling car in this class.
Recently, the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology exposed the declaration map of the new generation of Volkswagen Passat PRO model. According to previous information, the car will be launched in the third quarter. In terms of appearance, the new car as a whole draws on the design ideas of the overseas version, and adopts a very "ID." The design is no longer a business-oriented and calm style. The shape of the upper and lower double grilles, supplemented by horizontal banners and decorative strips, as well as C-shaped deflectors on both sides, make the whole more youthful.
It is worth the expectation of domestic consumers that the interior of the new generation of Passat is expected to be fully upgraded, referring to the overseas version of the model, the central control "color TV" will be upgraded to a larger size, and the texture and layout of the material in the car will also be fully optimized.

In terms of power, the Passat on sale offers two versions, 1.4T and 2.0T, but the new generation Passat is likely to cancel the current 1.4T, add a 1.5T version, and retain the 2.0T version, with a maximum power of 118 kilowatts and 162 kilowatts respectively, and the transmission system is expected to be matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
3. All-new Buick GL8
Highlights: Available in oil-blended and plug-in hybrid versions
In the domestic MPV market, Buick GL8 has a very high status and has long been the sales champion of mid-to-high-end MPVs. Recently, the new Buick GL8 declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was exposed, and the new car will be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show.
The new Buick GL8 adopts the same design as the Buick Century, with a large-area trapezoidal grille and new split headlights, and the shape is more sporty and sharp. In addition, Buick's new bullet logo on the hood is also a major attraction of the new car. It is worth mentioning that the new car will be available in both oil-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, with the main difference in appearance between the two being the L-shaped chrome trim on both sides of the bumper.

In terms of dimensions, the new car has a length, width and height of 5219/1878/1807 mm, a wheelbase of 3088 mm, and a 6/7-seat layout. The rear design, on the other hand, is equipped with new taillights and a through-chrome trim with the word "BUICK" for a more textured look.
In terms of power, the hybrid version is powered by the LSZ 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 155kW/211 hp and a top speed of 180 km/h. The plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a LAX 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 132kW, a drive motor with a peak power of 160kW, and a 24.4kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, with a pure electric range of 108km and a fuel consumption of 6.97L/100km under operating conditions.
After entering the new energy era, the arrival of more and more plug-in hybrid and pure electric MPVs is slowly eating away at the hegemony of Buick GL8. This time, the launch of the new Buick GL8 plug-in hybrid version and oil hybrid version is a counterattack to the market, hoping to win back a game in the field of new energy.
