AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/29 Report--

With the rapid development of new energy vehicles in recent years, some new power car companies have launched the first mass production model, and have completed delivery. in order to expand their product lineup, head new power car companies have begun to launch car models. A few days ago, Weima officially released a poster picture and announced that it will display a new all-electric car, which will be named the Weima 7-Series sedan, at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show.

According to several poster data, the new car is based on Weimar's "car super platform", the battery pack uses CTP technology (Cell To Pack), and the comprehensive range under NEDC conditions exceeds that of 700km. And the new car is also technically equipped with L3-level autopilot technology and L4-level autopilot technology, as well as support 5G intelligent cockpit.

From the perspective of the model on the Weima poster, the whole car is slim and may be located as a medium-sized car, but it will not be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in 2020 at the earliest.

In fact, as early as during the 2018 Beijing Auto Show, Weima officially released a non-SUV concept car, the Isdera Commendatore GT, which is positioned as a 2x2 GT superelectric sports car. The new car is jointly built by Weima and European handmade sports car brand Isdera. Perhaps the design direction of the Weimar 7 series can be seen from the design of the car.

For the positioning of the new car, it is not surprising. As most of the first models launched by new power car companies are SUV models, Xiaopeng Automobile, the first car model to be announced, has launched Xiaopeng P7, which is positioned as a medium-sized coupe with a length of more than 4.8 meters, similar to Tesla's Model S.

As a competitor, Weima should also be launched with the same level of models to seize market share, only through the same level of competition to better show the gap. For example, Xilai Automobile has also unveiled a preview version of the first car ET at this year's Shanghai Auto Show. From the body of the car, it is speculated that it is also a medium and large sedan. Now that the appearance patent map has also been released, it is believed that the appearance of the mass-produced model will not be long.

As the head of the new power car companies, NIO, Weimar, Xiaopeng Automobile, without exception, all announced the SUV model before launching the car model, perhaps because of the direction of the domestic market, consumers are more inclined to the side with more space, always think that this will be more sense of security, but also improve comfort. According to the federation of passengers, sales in the narrow passenger car market fell 4.1% in November from a year earlier, while the SUV market showed double growth from a month earlier.

In the whole new energy market, the performance of new power car companies is better than that of traditional new energy models, but the cumulative sales of new power this year is only 57100, accounting for a very small share of passenger car sales in the same period.

In any case, with the launch of Xiaopeng P7, Weimar and NIO or other new power car companies, as competitors, will speed up the launch of new products and constantly expand their own product camp in exchange for the favor of consumers. after all, the volume of the new energy market is still very small, and the proportion of new forces is even smaller, so no sales and profits mean it will be difficult to move forward.
