On August 29, the postponed Chengdu Auto Show finally officially opened. Do you have any new cars to look forward to? The most "multi-point blossoming" car company must be the Great Wall. From Euler's "various" cats, to the hot network of tanks, and Haval, who has a lot of attention. In addition, the Great Wall also has a king fried. #数码科技要闻 #

That is weY (Wei Brand) this new "old car". He is currently missing a formal name, temporarily known as "Retro Tide Drive". Don't look at it as a "retro car", it actually uses a hybrid system, and there are several large screens in the car. JiGuojun will take you to see this car inside and out.
The interior model code-named V72 is a "vintage hip drive" that was popular in the 1930s and 1940s in terms of appearance. The oversized grille + horizontal chrome trim strip on the front face looks very sensual, and with two round headlights, there is a retro inner flavor.
Compared with the squinting design (strip lights) that many electric vehicles like to use now, this car is absolutely recognizable on the street, which design do small partners prefer?
However, some netizens joked that it imitated the front face design of the big truck. The design of the body side is similar to Euler's punk cat, after all, both models take the retro route. Overall, the design is relatively "rounded", and the whole vehicle does not have any sharp lines.
Looking at the rear of the car, it adopts a slip-back design and has a bulge at the rear, just like the independent trunk on the classic car of that year.
The wheel part of this car is also retro-inspired, with double chrome spokes and a three-gear hub center cover in the middle. Although the detailed parameters of this car have not yet been announced, the length should be about 4 meters 8, and the positioning should be a medium-sized SUV.
How about, have a heartwarming little friend? Some netizens said that this car should be good for running weddings... What do you think?
Although this car has such a retro appearance, it is still relatively trendy in terms of power. The power mode of this car has been determined to be hybrid. It is expected to use the GREAT Wall's DHT hybrid system, which should have a good performance in fuel consumption and performance, and can be expected.
Compared to the retro appearance, the interior of the car is not the same. This car is a little "out of the woods" in the interior. LCD instrument + two large screens of the car machine, instantly no retro taste.
There is a saying that retro style is important, but most people buy a car and also consider practicality. Compared with some "retro to the extreme" cars, there is no harm in having more convenience. Especially the car machine is a scientific and technological product, once you have used a good car machine, you really can't go back.
In terms of car chip, referring to its fellow brother WEY Macchiato, it is expected that this new car will also use Qualcomm's 8155 vehicle specification chip, which can be in a leading position in the current model on sale.
In terms of assisted driving, intelligent parking, etc., is this car equipped with related functions? At present, it is still unknown, but in this era of "average" L2, presumably this car will not be left behind in these aspects.
The overall design of the interior can be said to be a fusion of retro and modern. I don't know if the friends have noticed that this car is not only very "rounded" in appearance, but also very "round" in the interior design, such as air conditioning outlets and so on.
In addition, large areas of velvet materials are used, both at the doors and on the seats. This material is also one of the symbols of retro and is one of the best seating materials ever made. However, this material also has a problem, that is, it can not be "reversed", it will be more troublesome to take care of, and I don't know if it will be adjusted in the final version.
In addition, there is a small detail on the seat, that is, there is an embroidered flower on the backrest and on the inside of the door, which looks really classy... What do you think of your friends?
Can such a car with both practicality and retro appearance really meet us? Although there are still many parameters of this new car that have not yet been announced, and there are many unknowns, the Great Wall has determined that it will be mass-produced.
The Great Wall and many of its sub-brands have recently been "off the beaten path", but it has all taken the right route - internet celebrity hits. Whether it is tank 300, 500 or Euler's cats and cats, coupled with WEY's "coffee" series, there is no small heat and good response on the Internet.
However, the "life cycle" of Internet celebrities is actually very short, and car building still needs hard power, high safety performance, good use experience and good quality to keep these Internet celebrities alive. Do small partners think that the Great Wall has this strength?
The car is expected to be available in Q2 2022, and the final version may also be fine-tuned based on actual conditions and market reactions.
Similarly, in terms of price, WEY also wants to see everyone's reaction and then set the price. Do you have any heartwarming friends, how much do you think this car has to sell?
