However, with Volkswagen's formal shareholding in Jianghuai Automobile and its indirect shareholding in Jianghuai Volkswagen to 75%, Volkswagen will have absolute initiative and initiative. According to the plan, Jianghuai Volkswagen will launch five pure electric vehicles by 2025, and build a complete electric vehicle factory and R&D center.
Therefore, after the mass leadership, we will no longer let go of the Sihao brand. At present, it has begun to jointly develop new sales models with Suning. In addition, some sources predict that Sihao will introduce SEAT's new energy vehicles for development, and will not introduce JAC brand vehicles as at present. It can be seen that although SEAT brand has delayed its entry into China, its electric vehicles will come to China through Sihao brand.
In the patent application announcement issued on July 3, the water drop car app discovered the brand-new electric SUV that SEAT had previously unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Tower Vascan.
Tavascan is the first electric SUV under Cupra, a high-end performance brand of SEAT, so the LOGO is different from the traditional SEAT. Tavascan is based on Volkswagen Group's brand-new pure electric MEB platform, which also includes Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4? E-tron, etc.
In terms of appearance, the shape in the patent drawing is highly consistent with the previously released concept model, and the design is very dynamic. It adopts a closed grille design, and there are air ducts on both sides of the bottom and front cover, which looks fierce. As can be seen from the conceptual model, the front part of the car is decorated with blue visible carbon fiber, but after mass production, it will be cancelled due to cost and manufacturing difficulty.
As can be seen from the side, Tavascan adopts the popular slip-back shape, adopts large-size wheels, has strong visual impact, and the wheel hub shape is closed, thus achieving the effect of reducing wind resistance. This design is very common in pure electric vehicles.
The tail shape is relatively complex, and the through taillights and LOGO are integrated into it. The bottom shape is similar to the front of the car, and the shape is very radical.
There is no statement of interior decoration in the patent drawing. From the concept car, the interior design is very simple, mainly composed of 12.3-inch LCD instrument and 13-inch central control panel, in which more control buttons are integrated.
In terms of power, like other MEB platform models, it will adopt the form of front and rear axle dual motors, and the maximum power of the system is 225kW. In terms of battery life, WLTP's comprehensive cruising range is 450km.
As can be seen from the patent application information, the filing date is 65438+20201October 22. Prior to this, El-Born, another electric vehicle model of SEAT, has also applied for a design patent. In March, Volkswagen Group said that SEAT's entry into the China market was delayed due to the shrinking market in China and fierce competition. Therefore, these two models are expected to be made in China by Sihao brand. SEAT, as a Spanish national treasure brand, has tried several times to enter the China market, but all ended in failure. Although the SEAT brand will not come, the electric vehicle model of its MEB platform will still come. Whether this value can help the brand turn over remains to be seen. For more new car information, the water drop car APP will continue to pay attention.
