Yu Chengdong has not been dynamic since the adjustment of his position, and it was not until recently that he appeared on the delivery activities of the new Wenjie M5, and today he issued a document to warm up the new Wenjie M7, it seems that the Wenjie automobile and Huawei still have a close relationship.

Its latest developments confirm that the new M7 is no longer a rumor, and the car is about to be facelifted again.

The new model will have four upgrade points.

Exterior interior, intelligent driving ability, driving experience, comfort configuration, which upgrade point is the most worth looking forward to?

For the M7, it should be the first and third points that are the most worth looking forward to, because the current stage of automotive intelligent driving technology is generally overpackaged, and all vehicles that belong to the L2 level of assisted driving standards can be defined as "high-level intelligent driving", this completely irresponsible definition is very popular, so it is best to be conservative for these intelligent driving systems. The comfort configuration of the M7 is still relatively rich, after all, it is a car with a starting price of 249,800 yuan, and the configuration should not be bad.

So the most important thing to upgrade this car is the exterior design, the car's sense of design is not good to evaluate, in the author's personal opinion, it is more or less similar to Dongfeng scenery ix7, and ix7's tailgate always feels similar to a certain SUV of Audi; Of course, this is just a personal opinion, but as a medium and large SUV, the wheelbase is only 2820 mm, so such a design is not easy to understand.

So what will the new M7 look like?

Refer to the diagram below.

The above is the new Wenjie M7 spy photos spread on the Internet, the old model uses the upper, middle and lower three-section grille, the new model is changed to two sections, and there seems to be no change in other aspects, so the so-called new model should be just a facelift, so the wheelbase is unlikely to change. The interior is basically the same as the current model, which is a conservative and traditional design style, and the combination of gray and yellow highlights a calm temperament.

There is no powertrain in the four upgrade points identified by Yu Chengdong, so no changes are expected in the range extender type, electric motor, and drive platform.

However, there is one thing that can still be expected to be upgraded, and that is its suspension system.

The M7 is one of the few cars in the middle and high-end cars of the new power brand that uses MacPherson suspension, and the front suspension type used by most cars in the same class is double wishbones, which has an extra triangular arm located above than MacPherson; The suspension is actually divided into two parts, the elastic element and the shock absorber play the role of support and vibration damping, and the role of various connecting rods or rocker arms is to control the wheel inclination, which is also called the "wheel guiding part".

Look at another image, through which you can understand the difference between MacPherson and double wishbone suspension.

The engine of the extended-range hybrid vehicle does not require a transmission and does not take up too much lateral space in the engine compartment, so there is plenty of space for the installation of double wishbones; However, the manufacturing cost of double wishbone suspension is obviously higher than that of MacPherson, and the cost can be effectively reduced with MacPherson suspension.

But after all, the M7 is a rear-wheel drive version of the SUV that costs 249,800-309,800 yuan, and other domestic range extenders of the same level with the same starting price have used double wishbone suspension, and even equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system;

However, the monthly sales of the M7 in the past three months have reached three consecutive declines, and the decline is also relatively large, and the new model launched at this time may have a large upgrade, wait and see.
