The fourth car of QNEX is here!

According to the news on August 16, just now, the spy photos of the suspected M8 were exposed. The design style of the front face of the vehicle is very similar toQJM7（parameter丨picture), while the rear design of the vehicle is close toQJM9。

From the spy photos, the test car does not show the LiDAR, so it is speculated that Huawei's pure vision solution is also expected to appear on the M8. However, previous spy photos have shown the presence of LiDAR, which also means that the M8 may have multiple versions, and the one currently being tested should be the version without LiDAR.

In terms of price, it was previously reported that the starting price of the M8 will be between the M7 and M9. The price is rumored to be around 350,000 yuan, mainly targetingIdeal L8, and is expected to be released and mass-produced within the year.

Overall, the launch of Wenjie M8 will further improve Wenjie Automobile's product matrix and further cover the medium and large SUV market between 300,000 and 500,000 yuan.

The overall competitiveness of the Wenjie M8 cannot be underestimated. If the subsequent price is good, it will also bring considerable pressure to its old rival Ideal Auto.

1. The front of the M7 and the rear of the M9 are expected to have multiple versions

Specifically, the front face of the new car is relatively straight, and its style is very similar to that of the M7. The concave part in the middle shows a streamlined effect. The headlights on both sides are slender and flat, with high recognition. The overall look is still very high-end and atmospheric.

Judging from the side of the body, the new car is closer in size to the M9, adopts a short front overhang design, and has improved steering flexibility. It should also be equipped with 3 rows of seats. The interior space looks more friendly and more practical.

At the same time, the new car also adopts hidden door handles, black wheels and other design elements to enhance the sense of sportiness.

In addition, the rear part of the car has a rounded and full shape, and from the latest spy photos, the taillight curtain of the new car displays the word "囍", which also means that the M8 may adopt the same through-type taillights as the M9, support the "light language programming" function, and further enhance the user's personalized experience.

It is worth noting that there is no laser radar on the current test car, which also means that the M8 model may have a version of the intelligent driving system that uses Huawei's latest pure visual intelligent driving solution, but there may also be other versions.

As for the interior, the spy photos don’t reveal too much, but you can slightly see part of the floating LCD instrument panel.

In terms of configuration, integrating the previous online information, the overall configuration of the M8 may refer to the M9, with air suspension, CDC variable damping shock absorber and intelligent four-wheel drive system.

The extended-range version of the new car adopts the pure electric extended-range platform 4.0, and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h may be achieved in 4 seconds, and the CLTC comprehensive cruising range is expected to reach 1,400 km. The pure electric version adopts an 800V high-voltage silicon carbide platform, equipped with a front-wheel drive asynchronous rear-wheel drive synchronous electric drive system, and supports super fast charging.

2. Sales of over 40,000 vehicles in January, aiming for 600,000 vehicles for the whole year

According to LatePost, AITO's annual sales target for 2024 is 600,000 vehicles. It plans to release and mass-produce the M8 this year, and at least four models will be on sale. AITO has already communicated the above sales target to upstream supply chain manufacturers.

SERES responded: "The sales target is adjusted dynamically according to the internal and external environment. Our joint business goal with Huawei to achieve production and sales of one million vehicles in 2026 has not changed. (In 2024) we hope to take a solid step forward."

According to the data released by Hongmeng Zhixing, the sales volume of the new model of Wenjie reached 41,500 units in July. It can be seen that Wenjie, as the sales leader, is still very strong this year.

At the ceremony for the 400,000th new car of Huawei to roll off the production line at the end of July, Yu Chengdong, Huawei's executive director, chairman of the Terminal BG, and chairman of the Intelligent Automotive Solutions BU, said, "It is estimated that this fall, the M7 and M9 will usher in a new wave of sales growth and peaks." New models of Huawei are also gradually joining the battlefield. The new Huawei M7 Pro model will debut in Chengdu on August 26.

This also shows that Wenjie Auto is expected to achieve explosive sales starting from the third quarter of this year.

Conclusion: Wenjie is expected to achieve a surge in sales

Although Wenjie Auto is currently one of the top-selling new energy vehicle companies, in recent months, the monthly sales champion of China's new energy vehicle companies has continued to be won by Ideal, and Wenjie has always had a slight gap with it.

At present, the two best-selling models of Wenjie Auto are M7 priced at 249,800 to 329,800 yuan and M9 priced at 469,800 to 569,800 yuan. The top-end model priced at 569,800 yuan is the most ordered by users. In comparison, there are still some gaps in the market for Wenjie Auto in the 300,000 to 400,000 yuan range.

This is also an opportunity for Wenjie Automobile to sprint towards sales. Once Wenjie M8 is officially released, Wenjie will have at least four models on sale, fully covering the medium and large SUV market in the range of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.
