Cadillac CT4

Estimated time to market: April 8

When it comes to CT4, it is undoubtedly one of the heavy models of this year.

The GL8 Avenri model, which appeared at the Buick Brand Day theme event last April, seems to have existed in concept form, but its existence was confirmed when the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the declaration of the four-seater version in February this year. Although Buick GL8 has a high position in the domestic MPV market, with the release of more and more high-end MPV models, it seems that Buick is also afraid to launch a more exclusive design and exclusive service Avenir version.

The exterior is slightly different from the early release GL8 Avenir concept model and mid-term modifications, only in detail. The overall design appearance adopts the mid-term modified GL8 design. In addition to the different designs of the front middle net and the lower air intake grille, the design of metal chrome strips is added to both sides of the body, and the vehicle model is added to show the identity. Of course, the interior is the most important thing in this model.

Chevrolet Trailblazer

Estimated time to market: mid-April

Although it is not the main market in the domestic medium and large SUV market, its competition is still fierce. With the popularity of a series of joint venture brands such as Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Touang, more and more brands are envious and have joined the ranks. In fact, Chevrolet, which should have entered this market long ago, has chosen to join now. There is no doubt that it is difficult. After all, the market share has been occupied by Toyota, Volkswagen and other models. Perhaps the name of the pioneer will also be the definition of the model.

As a medium and large SUV, Chevrolet Pioneer uses the same platform as GM's Buick Onco flag and Cadillac XT6, with 4999/1953/1763mm length, width and height and 2863mm wheelbase at the forefront of its class.

Xiaopeng P7

Estimated time to market: within April

In addition to fuel models, new energy vehicles also have heavy models. So for this has not yet been listed on the already full of topic degree Xiaopeng P7 is undoubtedly one of the heavy models. After all, this model is not only the second new car owned by Xiaopeng Automobile, but also the first head-on car product among the new forces of car building. In fact, Xiaopeng P7 was originally scheduled to go on sale in March, but affected by the epidemic, finally decided to postpone until April.

Xiaopeng P7 has three models: rear-drive long-endurance version, rear-drive long-endurance version and four-wheel drive high-performance version. The pre-sale price is 240,000 yuan, 270,000 yuan and 370,000 yuan respectively, among which the NEDC range of rear-drive long-endurance version reaches 706km, becoming the highest endurance model among domestic mass production electric vehicles at present.

According to previous official information, the maximum power and peak torque of the rear-drive long-endurance model are consistent with those of the rear-drive long-endurance model, with an acceleration time of 6.7 seconds at 0-100km/h; while the four-wheel drive high-performance model and the rear-drive long-endurance model have a maximum power of 316kW, a peak torque of 655Nm and an acceleration time of 4.3 seconds at 0-100km/h.

Although there are many models listed in April, it is still not optimistic from the current market performance. According to the China Automobile Association, the reason for the sharp decline in production and sales at present is mainly due to the slow progress of enterprise resumption of work, low output level caused by problems such as parts supply, etc., while the stagnation of product consumption at the consumer end also seriously suppresses market demand. For the follow-up car market recovery degree, the industry is not expected to return to normal until May.
