In recent years, with the improvement of independent brand technology, the prices of domestically produced cars have also increased. Not only that, many car companies have also launched high-end brands in an attempt to compete with joint venture brands, such as WEY owned by Great Wall, Lynk & Co owned by Geely, and Xingtu launched by Chery. Today, the editor will introduce to you several high-end products from Chinese brands.
Xingtu TXL
The new generation? Xingtu TXL will be launched on October 20, with an official price of 139,900 to 175,900 yuan, which is better than the flagship SUV Tiggo 8 in the Chery brand ?PLUS is slightly higher. Although the dimensions of the two cars are roughly the same, the Xingtu TXL is a product built from the M3X Mars architecture. It has a super five-star safety body structure and is not afraid of crash tests by institutions such as China Insurance Research Institute and the US IIHS.
As a high-end product of Chery, Xingtu TXL will naturally enjoy the highest treatment. Once Chery develops the latest high technology, it will be the first to be installed on Xingtu models. Chery Automobile's R&D capabilities can be called the "Huawei of the automotive industry", and its number of PCT patent applications ranks among the top Chinese automobile brands. In addition, Chery Automobile is also the car company with the largest export volume of Chinese brand cars. Therefore, the product layout for the high-end market is urgent, and Xingtu TXL came into being.
Xingtu TXL is equipped with Chery’s most powerful 1.6T turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 197 horsepower and a peak torque of 290 Nm. It is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission from Getrag. box. In addition to Chery's independent research and development, the other components are all from world-class suppliers. Xingtu TXL can be said to be a combination of famous brands, high-end and luxurious.
WEY?VV6
Great Wall Motors is one of the fastest growing car companies among Chinese brands. It became famous with its Haval H6 and then launched the Haval brand. Today, Haval Motors has become famous and occupies the top spot in the domestic SUV market. However, Great Wall Motors is not satisfied with the status quo, because the SUV market of 150,000 to 250,000 yuan is almost entirely occupied by joint venture brands, so Great Wall Motors needs to launch a new strategic layout and launch the high-end brand WEY.
If Great Wall Motors does not have the strength, then even launching a high-end brand will be in vain. For Great Wall Motors, WEY is the highest-end brand in the family, and it can use its strength to this end. For the VV6 car, Great Wall has gone all out to build it, using the highest standards, the latest technology, and the best materials. The overall sense of luxury completely surpasses joint venture cars of the same level.
WEY? VV6 is priced at 148,000 to 175,000 yuan. The entire series is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 227 horsepower and a peak torque of 387 Nm. It is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The top model is also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system, and the overall performance is very powerful. Up to now, VV6 has been the main sales force in the WEY family, and it is a model that many young people like.
Lynk & Co 01
Geely has been in the spotlight in recent years and has been aggressively acquiring well-known overseas brands. Not only that, the wealthy Geely also launched the new energy brand Geometry and the high-end brand Lynk & Co. Geely also jointly developed the CMA basic module architecture with Volvo, among which Lynk & Co 01 was born on the CMA platform. Therefore, Lynk & Co is like a joint venture brand, the crystallization of Geely and Volvo's technologies.
The Lynk & Co 01 is priced from 150,800 to 198,800 yuan and is positioned as a compact SUV. This price almost catches up with joint venture cars of the same level, but the Lynk & Co 01 is more cost-effective and more generous in materials, and the whole vehicle exudes a sense of luxury that is rare in its class.
Soon after Geely launched Lynk & Co, it has been making rapid progress, launching new products one after another, such as Lynk & Co 03+, Lynk & Co 05, Lynk & Co 06 and so on. It is no exaggeration to say that the impression of Lynk & Co's high-end brand has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it can quickly gain recognition from young consumers. Lynk & Co Automobile has achieved success in this regard.
The progress of domestic brands is obvious to everyone. The launch of high-end brands such as Xingtu, WEY, and Lynk & Co is, firstly, to give people a new understanding of domestically produced cars; secondly, Want to prove the technology and strength of Chinese brands through high-end products.
The above three cars all have the same characteristics. They are all models that focus on safety, cost performance and high quality. I wonder if you have noticed that the body weight of these three cars is heavier than that of joint venture cars of the same level. This is It shows that they are very kind and unwilling to deceive consumers, which is more valuable than some joint venture cars.
