China MPV experts push new works, which will be the next explosion?

"Chuanqi GM8 dares to sell so expensive, it's really gone with the wind!"

This is what many netizens think after seeing Chuanqi GM8 (the predecessor of Chuanqi M8) announce the price 4-5 years ago. To tell the truth, domestic brands were not so popular at that time, and the MPV market was relatively "unpopular", so I also wiped a sweat for GAC Chuanqi.

Time is the best answer, and it turns out that I really worry too much. In recent years, Chuanqi M8 has become one of the most popular MPV models in the luxury MPV market. Winning the China brand luxury MPV sales champion in 56 months is the best proof of Chuanqi M8's strength. According to the latest data, in March this year, Chuanqi M8 family sold more than 8,000 units in wholesale, while the sales of M8 Grandmaster Twin Engine Edition with higher positioning accounted for more than a quarter, which also helped GAC Chuanqi rank first in the field of independent brand MPV.

The hardest part is actually in the beginning With the successful experience of Chuanqi M8 in the luxury MPV market, GAC Chuanqi knows very well what they should do next in the MPV market. I think the new flagship Chuanqi E9 of China Zhidian MPV should be their answer.

As a brand-new masterpiece of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi's transformation into a technology company, Chuanqi E9 made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show and began to pre-sell. Pre-sale price of new car: 330,000-390,000 yuan, cutting into 350,000+high-end home new energy market in one fell swoop. It is also a big player in the luxury MPV market. The official starting price of Tengshi D9 is 335,800 yuan, and the top price is 465,800 yuan. In contrast, you will find that Chuanqi E9 has an advantage in price.

We should know that in the field of luxury MPV, the price factor is not the key factor affecting consumers' car purchase, and consumers are more pursuing the "intrinsic value" of products.

However, in my opinion, Chuanqi E9 has the potential to explode as soon as it is born. On the one hand, technology, on the other hand, products.

Technology-oriented, accumulated for many years and achieved results at the end of the year.

Look at the technical level first. In fact, as early as 2009, GAC Chuanqi began to develop hybrid technology. From the hybrid demonstration vehicle based on P 1+P4 architecture, to the GA5 REV equipped with extended-range hybrid system, and then to the plug-in hybrid vehicle GS4 PHEV, GAC Chuanqi is a toddler, crossing the river by feeling the stones. Finally, the GMC 1.0 hybrid system was brought in 2020.

Last year, the giant wave hybrid GMC 2.0 hybrid technology was released. This is the GMC dual-motor series-parallel hybrid system they are developing independently, covering oil-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid and even hydrogen power system, covering all hybrid scenarios. GAC Chuanqi pushes domestic hybrid to a new height. After that, domestic mixing mushroomed.

On the brand-new Chuanqi E9, you can also see the "unique skills" of GAC Chuanqi. As the first product of Chuanqi Smart-Electric Hybrid newly upgraded at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, the new car adopts the only 2.0T plug-in hybrid engine in its class. This engine is the third-generation Miller cycle engine independently developed by GAC, and adopts advanced technologies such as GAC GCCS combustion control technology, Miller cycle, 350bar high-pressure direct injection system, dual-channel supercharger, electronically controlled waste gas valve, intake and exhaust VVT, water-cooled intercooling, low-pressure EGR, fully variable oil pump and balance shaft. The maximum thermal efficiency reaches 40. It is worth mentioning that this engine has also obtained the authoritative certification of "Energy Efficiency Star" from China Automobile Research Institute.

It is worth mentioning that Chuanqi E9 also adopted the parallel-axis series-parallel scheme pioneered by GMC. The longest face is that GAC Chuanqi broke the patent barrier of international automobile giants. GMC hybrid power system has more than 400 core patents and more than 740 extended patents, and has completely independent intellectual property rights.

According to official data, the comprehensive endurance of Chuanqi E9 WLTC can reach 1032km, and the fuel consumption of WLTC feed is 6.05L per 100 km. Who says you can't have both fuel economy and battery life? Chuanqi E9 did it, and it's the best in its class! This means that vehicles can have the advantages of low fuel consumption and long battery life at the same time, and they can also enjoy driving like trams. Why not?

In addition, Chuanqi E9 body is equipped with 25kW? The PHEV battery pack independently developed by H adopts the battery technology of Guangzhou Automobile Magazine, which makes the battery have higher energy density, safer and longer life.

"Five in One", product strength is hard core.

If Chuanqi E9 wants to become popular in the market, it is not enough to have technology, and the product strength of "hard core" is also essential. At the product level, I personally think that Chuanqi E9 is full of intelligence, comfort, face value, safety and health attributes, and it can be called an "all-round player" in MPV industry.

smart

Chuanqi E9 is equipped with rich intelligent technology configuration to further enhance consumers' car experience. In the past, people may think that it is "smart" to have a large screen in the interior. However, with the advent of the new energy era, consumers have higher requirements for "intelligence". In addition to the "big screen", we also require the vehicle to be comprehensive, not only to meet the functional and entertainment needs, but also to be smart enough to "drive".

12.3 inch full LCD instrument+14.6 inch large suspension central control panel are all "basic operations". In order to meet passengers' demand for audio-visual entertainment, Chuanqi E9 provides 12.3-inch passenger entertainment screen and 15.6-inch ceiling screen in the back row. If you like listening to music, try Chuanqi E9' s master headrest stereo. With ADiGO and Yamaha's dual-tone brand stereos, this music feast will not let you down.

Chuanqi E9 is a medium and large MPV with the length, width and height of 5193/5212×1893×1823 mm, and the wheelbase is 3070 mm It is really a "big guy". Parking such a huge vehicle, even experienced old drivers, I'm afraid, have to concentrate on it, let alone novices.

Fortunately, the new car is equipped with a memory parking function. With the support of forward-looking camera, panoramic camera, ultrasonic radar, parking controller and other sensing elements, the new car can realize cross-floor parking, parking in difficult parking spaces (such as parking against the wall, parking in extremely narrow lanes, parking in oblique parking spaces) and tracking of large curvature serpentine runway, greatly reducing the burden on drivers.

More comfortable

Ride comfort has always been the most important factor for consumers in China. I believe that the first step for many people to buy a car is to sit in and feel whether the space is large enough and the seat is comfortable. This is even stricter for MPV models, because MPV is not a company "leader" or a family "leader".

Space is the least worry for Chuanqi E9, a medium and large MPV. The wheelbase of the new car is 3070mm, so even if the passengers in the second row cross-legged, there is plenty of space in the third row. In addition, the second and third rows of the new car have 480mm and 220mm long slide rails respectively, which will make it more convenient for the rear passengers to get on and off. It is worth mentioning that the third row of seats supports folding forward, and four people can take the storage space of 1586L. According to the actual measurement, seven 28-inch+two 24-inch suitcases can be put.

The interior of the new car is a multifunctional cockpit, the second row is equipped with luxury aviation seats, and it is wrapped in semi-aniline high-grade leather, which not only feels more delicate, but also has better breathability. The chair also provides "one-button SPA" mode, ten-point air pump massage and three massage modes. With so many massage functions, I believe it will definitely bring passengers a leapfrog ride experience.

Gao Yan value

Speaking of design, I think of a word "cultural self-confidence". China's brand design used to rely on knockoffs and plagiarism, which I think is a manifestation of cultural confidence. Nowadays, the comprehensive strength of the country is strong, and Chinese culture is going overseas and globally. We follow the "original national trend" and are proud of Chinese culture. In the design of Chuanqi E9, we can see the designer's high "cultural self-confidence".

On the basis of China's traditional aesthetics, designers have integrated the elements of current fashion trends to form a new aesthetic philosophy of China. In terms of appearance, Chuanqi E9 offers two choices: "Kun Peng spreads his wings" and "China lion awakens". The former is inspired by Kun Peng, with six horizontal grids on the front face like Kun Peng spreading its wings, and the light group uses scientific symbols to make the future full of science and technology; The latter integrates the image of the oriental lion into the modeling design. The "lion-awakening front face" is matched with the taillights of the "secondary door", and the line design of the light plastic curved surface makes the whole car full of luxury.

In the interior part, the whole cockpit of Chuanqi E9 is inspired by the dynamic and static posture of the swan. The central control layout is like a swan flying with its neck upturned, with the "Gankun board" crystal handle to realize the coexistence of luxury and elegance.

Safer

Now the safety of new cars is generally better. What are the exclusive tricks of Chuanqi E9?

Chuanqi E9 is the first vehicle of its class equipped with a vital signs monitoring system, and its vehicle is equipped with a monitoring radar to detect whether the vehicle has vital signs. Users can realize the alarm function through APP, SMS reminder, ECALL, light horn, etc. And the air conditioner can be turned on remotely to ensure a short-term safe environment in the car, which embodies the humanistic care of Chuanqi intelligent cockpit.

Compared with the MPV model of the same class, Chuanqi E9 enjoys the rear windshield airbag in terms of safety configuration, which is the first patent of GAC. With the first and second rows of airbags and the unique 3.2m long integrated side air curtain in the industry, the safety of passengers in the car is fully guaranteed.

Healthier

The air quality inside the car has attracted more and more attention from consumers. PM2.5, respirable particulate matter, smog ... and sandstorms in recent days have caused sandstorms in China 15 provinces and cities. In this case, who doesn't want a model that guarantees the air quality inside the car? GAC Chuanqi has been deeply involved in this field for many years.

In order to create a healthy breathing space in the car for users and create a high-quality experience environment, the manufacturer and the team of Academician Zhong Nanshan from Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health jointly developed the "Twenty-four solar terms and national wind series traditional Chinese medicine fragrance", which has the function of disinfection and sterilization, and the disinfection and virus removal effect of fragrance essential oil is over 99.9%.

On weekdays, air conditioning blowing directly on the skin is easy to cause a cold. In view of this, GAC Chuanqi has created a healthy air conditioner without wind feeling. By improving the cooling and heating performance of the air conditioner, reducing the wind speed on the body surface and taking care of sensitive people such as the elderly and children, it is very considerate to the health of users.

abstract

Chuanqi E9 inherits the luxury genes of Chuanqi MPV family, which not only understands MPV better, but also understands the needs of users. It combines luxury technology configuration, leading intelligent electric driving experience and safety, and then sets a new standard for luxury plug-in MPV. I think this is where Chuanqi E9 comes from. Explosion, I believe it is only a matter of time.
