Now MPV models have become a new industry hotspot, not only Hongqi, Lantu and other domestic car-making forces have been integrated into it, even Audi, one of the three giants of the BBA, has also said that it will join the war. After great wall motors are not willing, its sub-brand Weipai will launch a new MPV, positioned for medium and large high-end business purposes, directly competing with rivals such as Buick GL8 and Toyota Xena. So how strong the new car is, this article will feel it with everyone.
At present, Weipai MPV is in the road test stage, but we can still try to spy on one or two based on renderings and roads. Its overall design is biased towards the business style, focusing on simple lines and not too many complex elements. The polygonal grille on the front face is of moderate size and the interior is in a lock nail chrome fill for an industrial feel. The sharp headlight group is very eye-catching, and the probability will be all standard LED light sources, and the irradiation effect does not have to worry.
The Wei brand MPV side presents a short front and long wheelbase layout, which not only optimizes the overall aesthetic, but also expands the space range for the interior. It is expected that it will be changed to a sliding door in the later stage, which will not only facilitate getting on and off the car, but also upgrade the grade. The tail is expected to be equipped with a three-dimensional taillight set, which is more recognizable after opening. The car may be changed before the final mass production, which is more in line with the current aesthetic trend.
Buick GL8 Since the main opponent is the Buick GL8, the Wei brand MPV certainly cannot be too much down in size. This article speculates that the car will be at least 5.2 meters long and have a wheelbase of more than 3 meters, with plenty of interior space. In terms of the number of seats, it should be available in four- and seven-seat versions, which will not only meet business purposes, but also be favored by some family customers. Of course, nowadays, the large six-seat MPV has become a trend, and new cars may also join it. In any case, there is no need to worry about the spatial performance of Weipai MPV, which will have considerable carrying capacity to meet the needs of different consumer groups.
In terms of power, oil prices are now rising, and MPV models need more abundant performance due to their large bodies. In order to better balance the two, it will be equipped with the Great Wall Lemon DHT hybrid technology to help you save a lot of money. Although the specific data has not yet been revealed, it is expected that the new car will be based on the 1.5T engine and cooperate with the high-power electric motor to further optimize the driving experience.
At present, many specific news of Weipai MPV has not yet been officially certified, but as the listing time approaches, its mystery will be unveiled step by step. It is reported that its starting price will exceed 300,000 yuan, so the interior configuration will obviously hand over a good answer. Now the MPV market segment also presents a situation of "inner volume", and many car companies are eyeing the situation of Buick GL8. At present, Toyota Syna has a great tendency to pick it off, and Wei brand MPV also hopes to become a new spoiler.
In fact, the Great Wall is now facing severe competitive pressure, in March "only" sold 100,930 new cars of various colors, down 8.86% from the same period last year, and in the first three months of this year, it plunged 16.32% year-on-year, and the market performance was quite different from expectations. In order to get out of the predicament in time, it urgently needs to find a new breakthrough, and weipai MPV will be its main attack point in the future period of time. After all, Weipai achieved a year-on-year increase of 36.09% in March, and the new MPV may bring more surprises under the good trend.
