Hanging BYD's "American car", what is the origin of the loose locomotive?

Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the latest batch of information on declared models. One of them is particularly different. It has the appearance of an American convertible muscle car, but it bears the logo of BYD in China. Is BYD going to re-enter the sports car field?

Actually, it's not. In fact, this model is a hard-top convertible jointly launched by Beijing Loose Locomotive and AM Company of the United States. SS？ Dolphin ",but since neither company has production qualification in China, this model borrowed BYD's production qualification and was produced by BYD's Xi 'an factory.

Song and BYD just produce?

According to official website information of Matsumoto Locomotive, the brand and American AM formally established a joint venture company in 20 19, and decided to enter the automobile field. Only in 1 year, it launched its first new energy vehicle. This production speed and R&D are not too fast.

But beyond that, the official did not disclose too much specific information about this model. According to the publicity details of the declared model, it can be known that the loose roadster adopts plug-in hybrid system, the engine model is BYD476ZQB and the power is 1 18? Kilowatt

Looking through BYD's current car series, is it Qin Pro that uses the same power combination? DM model, the two engine models are the same, both are BYD476ZQB, and the maximum power is the same, both are 1 18? KW. Of course, start-ups have no experience in building cars, so it is understandable to borrow the power system of mature car companies. However, when you look inside the vehicle, you will find that the origin between the two is more than that.

According to the official sales photos of Matsumoto, it can be clearly seen that the dashboard of this convertible sports car is Qin Pro? The same is true for DM, and the internal design animation is almost identical. In addition, in the central control gear area, the loose convertible sports car is also Qin Pro? DM is carved from the same mold, which shows that there is a deep relationship between the two.

At present, the loose locomotive has officially announced its convertible sports car SS? The guide price of dolphins is 598,000 yuan. The same power system as BYD Qin Pro? The subsidy price range of DM is only 6.5438+0.369 million-2.049 million yuan. Due to the plug-in hybrid system, loose convertible SS? Dolphins not only meet the current national six emissions, but also enjoy green card treatment.

As far as the domestic market environment is concerned, the automobile culture is still in the primary stage. It is really rare for Matsumoto to launch a retro-style convertible sports car, and it can also attract some consumers who have feelings for retro American cars, but the high price also determines that this model is a plaything belonging to a small group.
