Although the scale of overseas auto shows is shrinking, the popularity of domestic auto shows remains high.

In April this year, the Beijing Auto Show, which was held after a lapse of 4 years, was extremely popular: there were more than 1,500 exhibitors (including parts, etc.), 117 global debut models, and nearly 900,000 visitors from home and abroad.

The popularity of the auto show, on the one hand, proves that the scale of the Chinese market is indeed large. my country's automobile production and sales have ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years, and it is an important market that all international first-line brands cannot avoid. On the other hand, although some people believe that the auto market has entered an "elimination war", there are still many players at the table, and new cars are still being released one after another.

New cars and new products are the key to supporting a large-scale auto show.After four months, the Chengdu Auto Show will kick off on August 30. In the weeks before the opening of the auto show, three to four new cars are released almost every week, and some models have been scheduled to be unveiled or launched at the auto show in advance.

It can be seen from these new cars that the popularity of this auto show will not be too low.

There are many “Huawei-related” companies, which one has the highest Huawei content?

Today, there are at least five brands that are deeply related to Huawei. If other forms of partners are added, the "Huawei system" has become a huge presence that cannot be ignored in the automotive industry.

At this year's Chengdu Auto Show, we can also see many new "Huawei" cars. Among them, the one with the highest "Huawei content" is definitelyAsk the worldNew M7 Pro. This new car will be officially released in Chengdu on August 26 and will also be unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show later.

In May this year, the new M7 Ultra was officially released. The upgrades of the new car are mainly concentrated in the appearance, cockpit, intelligent driving and chassis. The price is the same as the previous Max version. The delivery of 30,000 units in 50 days after the launch is enough to prove the popularity of this car.

Judging from the information currently known, the biggest difference between the new M7 Pro and the old model lies in its intelligent driving and chassis.In terms of intelligent driving, the new car is equipped with Huawei's ADS basic version of the visual solution, which has basic functions such as high-speed and expressway NOA and automatic parking, and it is believed that there will be a significant improvement in active safety.

Previously, aQJM7A rear-end collision occurred on the highway, which attracted widespread attention. Since the assisted driving system equipped in the car was not a Huawei solution, the vehicle speed at the time of the accident had exceeded the working range of AEB (automatic emergency braking), so the accident could not be avoided.

With Huawei completing the basic version of the intelligent driving solution, it means that all models of Wenjie are equipped with Huawei's intelligent driving system. It is believed that this will also bring greater sales for entry-level models.Currently, the pre-sale price of this car starts at 249,800 yuan, which is the same as the starting price of the previous five-seat version of the entry-level M7.

After the question, the one with the highest content of Chinese medicine must be of the same genus.Hongmeng Intelligent DrivingZhijie among the four realms. It is reported that the second model of the Zhijie brand, Zhijie R7, will also be unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show. This nearly 5-meter fastback SUV will be the first to launch a pure electric version. According to the declared information, the pure electric range of this car will be between 646 kilometers and 802 kilometers (CLTC working conditions), and it will be available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. In addition, there are also reports that this car may also launch an extended-range version in the future.

Finally, despiteLantuPreviously, it seemed that the "Chinese quality" was average, but the two new cars that are about to be released may change people's views.The newLantu DreamerIt will become the first MPV product of the "Huawei series". From the official preview, the new car will not only be equipped withEnjoy S9The same Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0 intelligent driving solution will also adopt Huawei Hongmeng Cockpit.

The product strength of the Lantu Dreamer MPV is not bad. It has two versions, hybrid and pure electric, and is equipped with luxury configurations such as the magic carpet chassis. The monthly sales volume is stable at around 3,000 units, which is a satisfactory result for both an MPV with a price of more than 300,000 yuan and the Lantu brand. With Huawei's "epic enhancement" in the field of intelligence, it is probably a big challenge for other new energy MPV products.

In addition, Lantu has also cooperated with Huawei to create a pure electric SUV model - Lantu Zhiyin. This pure electric SUV has a maximum range of more than 900 kilometers and is equipped with 800VHigh-voltage platform, supports 5C fast charging. From the currently public information, this car may provide Huawei version and non-Huawei version, the main difference is reflected in the intelligent driving.Recently, Lantu Auto CEO Lu Fang also announced on Weibo that the new car will be officially released overseas in mid-to-late September. Perhaps at the Chengdu Auto Show, the car is expected to make its first appearance.

These cars are "highly anticipated"

In the first half of this year, with the penetration rate of new energy vehicles increasing and price wars escalating, some people are happy while others are sad. Among them, some automakers whose performance is not satisfactory also hope to make a comeback.

Wei brandAsGreat WallIts high-end new energy brand has always lacked a phenomenal product. In 2023, the highly anticipated medium-to-large SUV Blue Mountain DHT-PHEV was launched and received 5,000 orders in 5 days.

However, the sales of Blue Mountain DHT-PHEV did not last long. Compared with plug-in hybrid mid-to-large SUV competitors such as Ideal, intelligence is a shortcoming that Blue Mountain cannot avoid.

At the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, the Blue Mountain Intelligent Driving Edition was officially unveiled, debuting the Coffee OS 3 smart space and Coffee Pilot Ultra intelligent driving system. From the official demonstration, both the intelligent driving capability and the intelligent cockpit experience have made a qualitative leap compared to the previous ones. This car is expected to be officially launched during the Chengdu Auto Show, and the current pre-sale price is 308,800-335,800 yuan.

It will be exciting to see whether Blue Mountain, which has made up for its shortcomings in intelligence, can compete with Ideal.

As the micro electric vehicle market continues to shrink, since last year,WulingIt is also adjusting its focus, from diving headfirst into micro electric vehicles to continuously making cars bigger and launching a variety of hybrid models.in,Baojun Cloud，Wuling StarlightModels such as the XT and XT have performed well in sales.

In July this year, Wuling Xingguang S was officially unveiled. This compact SUV with a length of 4.7 meters and a wheelbase of 2.8 meters will provide two power modes: pure electric and plug-in hybrid. The car has been pre-sold at a price of 102,800 yuan and 132,800 yuan, which is comparable to the same level.BYDSong Pro DM equivalent.

Wuling has many models that need to "face" BYD, such asWuling BingoandBYD Seagull, Wuling Xingguang and BYD Qin, etc. Challenging the king in the new energy field is definitely not easy. For Wuling, it is enough to achieve its expected sales volume.

Fuel vehicles still have half of the market, it is not time to "break down" yet

In recent years, people have always liked to associate fuel vehicles with the words "the swan song". Indeed, fuel vehicles are on the decline in terms of sales, but they still occupy nearly half of the market and have not yet reached the point of "sucking away".Therefore, for those car companies that mainly rely on fuel, it is still crucial to make good fuel vehicles.

At this Chengdu Auto Show,BMWThe lineup has been announced first. There will be as many as 13 new models, most of which are fuel vehicles, including the new M5, M2, M3 and other performance models.

The most noteworthy one is the first domestically produced new car with a longer wheelbase.BMW X3The long-wheelbase version of the BMW X3 has a wheelbase that is 110mm longer than the standard-wheelbase version, reaching 2975mm, which is comparable to the standard-wheelbase version.Mercedes-Benz GLCandAudi Q5L。 

The new car also adopts the new generation of BMW design elements, with a larger double kidney grille and irregular stripes. In terms of power, the 30L version that has been declared will be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 211kW, which is higher than the 180kW of the current 30i version.

Although the "lengthening" method is a tried and tested operation of many traditional brands, many people are still worried about the long wheelbase version of X3. If the standard wheelbase version is retained, it is fine. If only the standard wheelbase version is launched, it may not be very pleasing to BMW enthusiasts who like the driving feeling. Of course, we have to wait until the car is put on the road for a test drive to draw a conclusion on the driving feeling of this car.

If we take stock of the joint venture car companies that are having a hard time,Beijing HyundaiDefinitely on the list.In the first half of this year, Beijing Hyundai's sales volume was only 100,000 vehicles. Not to mention the peak period, even compared with the same period last year, it was more than 20,000 vehicles less.

At this year's Beijing Auto Show, the fifth generationShengdaIt attracted a lot of attention. The shape has been transformed into a "square box" SUV. Whether it is the exterior or the interior, the overall appearance is very good.

The new generation Santa Fe will be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 182kW and an 8AT gearbox. A 4WD version will also be available.The new car will be officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show. This Santa Fe may be an opportunity for Hyundai to turn the situation around. Of course, it also depends on whether its price is sincere enough.
