Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Tengshi Sales Division, said: "Tengshi N8 is the inheritance of Tengshi X classics, which will surpass the classics and will not ignore every passenger in the second row. There are also many black technologies. Subsequent Tengshi will also launch more versions such as Tengshi N8 PLUS to meet the diversified needs of more users. "
Shell-changing version of Tang DM?
Although Zhao Zong's description is very good, netizens don't seem to buy it. Most people are saying that it is just a shell change of Tang New Energy, lacking a little sincerity. Don't blame netizens, who will stop talking when they see the picture?
Netizens are not in a hurry to scold, and it may be a little more reassuring to think about it in another way. In the product sequence, Tengshi N8 is a modified model of Tengshi X, and Tengshi X itself is the brother model of Tang Xin Energy, which seems to have no problem at all!
However, Tengshi N8 adopts a brand-new design language-π motion potential energy aesthetics. From the front face, the same grating strip as N7 makes it highly recognizable.
As far as the overall appearance is concerned, Tengshi N8 lines are tough and straight, and the proportion of the car body is also very harmonious, which looks more atmospheric. Combined with the motion performance of fluid mechanics, the streamline modeling of the car body is more obvious.
The official words are over. Now, objectively speaking, the similarity between Tengshi N8 and Tang Xin energy has reached 80%. But a closer look shows that its length is slightly longer than that of Tang New Energy.
Tengshi N8 has two power options: pure electric and hybrid. The specific parameters are still unclear. The new car will be equipped with heat pump air conditioning. The maximum charging power of EV version is 175kW, and that of DM version is 90kW.
What are the places worth looking forward to?
It doesn't matter whether you look like big brother or not. What netizens want to know most is which platform Tengshi N8 comes from. We all know that Tengshi N7 comes from E platform 3.0, and it is also equipped with many black technologies, such as intelligent driving system. Tengshi N7 is full of expectations because it has features that BYD's current models don't have.
If Tengshi N8 and Tang Xin Energy are on the same platform, there will be no surprise. Do you want to buy Tang or Tengshi? Many people will choose the former, so Tengshi will be a little passive, which will not be particularly helpful to sales.
However, this is the reality. Between the lines of Zhao Zong, it is certain that Tengshi N8 and Tang Xin Energy are on the same platform. The advantage is that there will be a DM-p system as powerful as Tang DM and the same powerful off-road ability.
Don't be sad, Tengshi N8 is still very different, and its space utilization rate may be greater. It has a small table board in the second row, focusing on the integration of the whole scene function. You can work, make up, eat or study in Tengshi N8. Tengshi N8 will develop functions for these scenarios, which is also worth looking forward to.
Don't forget Zhao Zong's "black technology". I think they must have never studied Tang's new energy, which will give us a great surprise.
Information about the PLUS version
Tengshi N7
If you are not satisfied with Tengshi N8, don't be disappointed, and Tengshi N8 PLUS! BYD doesn't have this naming method, so I guess Tengshi N8 PLUS may be a product of the new platform, and many technologies may be consistent with Tengshi N7.
This is not nonsense, Tengshi N7 is a cross-border vehicle, and it can't be the existence of walking volume. Zhao Zong once said: New energy should try to compete for more shares from traditional SUVs.
Tengshi N8 and N8 PLUS are the answers. Tengshi N8 is the brother model of Tang Xin Energy, but it has more functions in the car. Maybe its price is similar to that of Tang Xin energy, or even lower. In this case, will consumers be given more choices?
Tengshi N8 PLUS adopts newer platform and newer technology, so the price is higher, and it grabs food from traditional luxury brands or new power large SUVs.
Relatively speaking, Tengshi N8 PLUS is more exciting. It will be BYD's new attempt, and the price will reach 400 thousand. Of course, there is also the product strength that this price should have. As for whether consumers buy or not, it is difficult to judge at present.
Having said that, is it not difficult to understand why Tengshi wants to be a "double car"? The style of Tengshi N8 PLUS must be too high. Baoding needs a Tengshi N8. Once Tengshi N8 PLUS falls into a bleak business, it won't be too ugly.
Write it at the end
Having said that, let's give Tengshi some advice. Tengshi D9 is successful because it makes consumers see new ideas and makes people shine. We don't doubt BYD's technical level. The key is to give consumers a sense of surprise. As far as Tengshi N8(PLUS) is concerned, it should be the same. No matter which platform it comes from, it should be innovative, rather than changing the shell directly.
