Recently, there has been a steady stream of new cars, and in May, we saw a number of new cars on the market, such as the Volvo EX30, Lynk & Co 07 EM-P, Zhiji L6, and BYD Hiace 07 EV, which have injected a lot of vitality into the auto market. So what are the important new cars to be launched in the next 6 months? Today we take stock.

Volkswagen Magotan

To say that the most attention is naturally Volkswagen Magotan, the new generation of Magotan was unveiled at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show just past, and the new design is eye-catching. You must know that Magotan is a representative model of domestic joint venture medium-sized sedans, since its listing in China in 2007, it has maintained high sales, and now under the impact of new energy vehicles, the current Magotan can still have tens of thousands of monthly sales.

Originally, I thought that the new Magotan would make the use of the L kind of rounded front face shape, but I didn't expect to adopt an angular style, and the overall appearance is more capable. In the context of domestic automobiles moving towards intelligence and new energy, this generation of Magotan is on the right route and younger, including the use of the co-pilot screen, and the interior style is also biased towards ID series models, although there is no subversive change, but compared with the past Magotan is a huge improvement.

The new car is 4,990 mm long and has a wheelbase of 2,871 mm, which is unchanged from the wheelbase of the current model. In terms of power, the new Magotan is still pure oil, offering two displacements of 1.5T and 2.0T, 160 horsepower and 220 horsepower respectively, mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It is reported that the new Magotan will use DJI's intelligent driving solution, which can realize high-speed NOA and mapless urban navigation functions.

Navy G318

The second is also the dark blue G318, which has received a lot of attention recently, and judging from the model naming, this car wants to take a self-driving off-road route. But it is not a non-load-bearing body, the official claim is for more comfort, the new car will use air suspension, but still has strong off-road ability, with a central infinitely infinitely variable differential lock and a magnetic mechanical differential lock, equipped with ET all-terrain system with 16 driving modes, while supporting U-turn, off-road creep and other functions.

In terms of power, the G318 adopts a 1.5T extended range system, which can maintain 70kW of power generation and fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km. The electric drive system adopts dual motors, with a comprehensive maximum power of 316kW, 000 acceleration in 6.3 seconds, and a pure electric range of 184km. In this way, the dark blue G318 takes the same route as looking up at the U8, which is extended range + off-road. However, referring to the price of the extended-range version of the dark blue SL03 and S7, the price of the G318 should be relatively close to the people, and the competitor may be aiming at the tank 300. Although the extreme off-road ability is not as good as that of the Tank 300, comfort, including the external discharge function, is also a demand for many traveling self-driving consumers.

In terms of size, the G318 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, which is larger than the Tank 300, and the wheelbase is 130mm longer to 2880mm. In terms of body design, the front and rear headlights are quite innovative, with some concept car flavor, and the side of the body seems to have a hint of BMW XM feeling. If you had to choose, what would you choose between the Navy G318 and the Tank 300?

The all-new Ford Mustang

The third is a niche model - the Ford Mustang. The new Mustang hardtop and convertible will be launched in June, and Ford is really admirable that Ford can introduce a sports car model in such a situation, especially the convertible. In terms of design, the new Mustang has changed both inside and outside, the new headlights and grille are more fierce, and the interior part of the center console has been overhauled, replaced with a new steering wheel and dual screens, throwing away the old feeling, and finally has a fashionable and technological atmosphere.

At present, there are not many convertible sports cars on sale in China, a little closer to the people, think about it, that is, Porsche Boxster, Jaguar F-TYPE, MG Cyberster, Mazda MX-5 These models, the Mustang convertible version may become a strong competitor in this market segment after the launch, after all, there should be many people who like muscle sports cars. In terms of power, both the hardtop and convertible models will be equipped with a 2.3T engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 220kw and a peak torque of 453Nm.

In fact, the introduction of niche models may also be Ford's strategy, and now Ford really needs a sense of presence to lead the front from mainstream models to niche models, such as JMC Ford's Fierce Horse and Ranger also let people see Ford's strength as an old manufacturer. Now we are waiting for the launch price of the new Mustang, especially the convertible version, the guide price of the current hardtop model is 380,000, so how much do you think the price of the new convertible version will make you excited?

WEY brand Blue Mountain Intelligent Driving Version

Finally, let's talk about the Wei brand Blue Mountain Intelligent Driving Edition, the new car was launched at the Beijing Auto Show. Wei Jianjun, chairman of the Great Wall, has been very active on the Internet recently and has become a big IP, and it can be seen that the Great Wall is also keeping up with the marketing pace of ideal, Weilai, and Xiaomi, and the Wei brand named after Wei Jianjun has not been satisfactory in recent months, and change is imminent.

As the sales pillar of the Wei brand, the arrival of the Blue Mountain intelligent driving version is an obvious change. The new car will be equipped with 27 sensors, including a lidar, to improve intelligent driving capabilities. In terms of power, the new car will adopt the latest Hi4 intelligent four-wheel drive electric hybrid technology, equipped with a power system composed of a 1.5T engine and front and rear axle motors, to achieve the "three engines and nine modes" of oil, electricity, range extension and hybridization.

The Wei brand Blue Mountain Intelligent Driving Edition is a three-row 6-seat layout, which is benchmarked against the ideal L8. The interior of the new car has changed dramatically, equipped with dual 15.6-inch screens, although the benchmark is ideal, but the design is not the same, right? Even the second row is equipped with a large foldable screen, and a refrigerator is added to the central armrest, so the refrigerator, color TV, and large sofa are all in place.

Write at the end

Based on the status of Magotan, the future sales will definitely not worry, and the sales of the other three models will be difficult to guess. So which of these four cars are you looking forward to more? Feel free to leave a message to let us know what you think.
