Just when new forces and traditional car companies are thinking about how to compete with Tesla in the high-end market, a new energy car that only sells for 28,800-38,800 units has sold 15,000 units. "Qing Mimi" came to the runner-up position in the new energy model rankings in August, greatly breaking the previous crushing trend of Model 3 in terms of sales.
Since its launch at the end of July, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV’s cumulative sales have exceeded 23,396 units, and it deserves to be responsible for the sales volume of SAIC-GM-Wuling’s new energy sector. With the help of this mini pure electric vehicle, SAIC-GM-Wuling new energy vehicle sales reached 18,312 units in August, a year-on-year increase of 110 units and a month-on-month increase of 70 units. If it follows this trend, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV will soon become the sales champion in the field of pure electric vehicles in terms of monthly sales of models.
But if Wuling Motors wants to go further and develop a direction that is more in line with the mainstream pure electric market while being close to the people, will consumers be able to maintain their current favorability? Recently, we obtained a set of spy photos of an SUV model with the "Wuling New Energy" license plate from relevant channels. They are very similar to the previous patent pictures of Wuling's new Coupe? SUV model, adopting the currently popular SUV coupe design.
Judging from the spy photos, the front face of the new car adopts a closed grille design, with a long strip of daylight running across the entire front of the car, which is very similar to the Xiaopeng P7. The main light source of the split headlights Located on both sides of the front bumper, three groups of chrome-plated decorations are used in a matrix layout, and a matte silver front shovel is installed at the bottom. The entire front face design looks very futuristic.
It is worth noting that the new car does not use the classic Wuling logo, but replaces it with a new LOGO similar to a T-shaped structure. Perhaps it is Wuling Motors' "Shield Brand going high-end" after "Red Label takes root in China, Silver Label faces the world".
When seeing the side patent picture of the car, many netizens pointed out that its side shape is very similar to Lamborghini Urus, and the actual car looks like this, with a very typical coupe shape on the side. , the line along the window even starts to press down from behind the A-pillar, the smaller rear door window and the large fastback tail shape really have the charm of Lamborghini Urus.
The waistline of the front door looks very sharp, while the waistline of the rear door creates a strong sense of muscle and creates a sense of movement. Matching it are hidden door handles and multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels. The so-called fashion sense is quite good. In addition, the new car adds a black rear wing design, which can "hollow out" the heads of the second row in the car, giving users a more comfortable riding experience.
The rear end of the car is full of layers, and the black deflector installed on the top is not only practical but also more "combat-style". In line with the through-type design that is popular in pure electric cars nowadays, it is highly recognizable. The most eye-catching thing is the exaggerated lower surround at the rear of the car. Since it is a pure electric model, the exhaust pipe is naturally gone, and the vacant position is occupied by a matte silver diffuser. Not only the lines of the entire rear body are tougher, but the taillights and diffuser also form a front-to-back relationship with the front face. Echoing effect.
There is currently no information on the power configuration of the car. Judging from the very sporty exterior design style, it is expected that the car will also emphasize power performance, but the accompanying price will also be superimposed. It goes against Wuling's low-end brand image. What do you think of this Wuling pure electric coupe SUV? Please leave a comment.
