AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/27 Report--

Evergrande, as one of the new car-building forces in China, has attracted much attention in the field of new energy vehicles since it was announced that it would transform. The new car press conference was held in August this year, and a total of six new cars were launched. according to officials, Evergrande's new car will start trial production in the first half of next year and achieve mass production in the second half of the year, but the real car map of the new car has been exposed recently.

According to a picture posted by Sina car blogger Changyan CY on his Weibo recently, three new Evergrande cars are parked in the open space for photography, and the license plate suspended from the new car shows that the car is the "Hengchi 1", positioned as an all-electric ultra-luxury D-class sedan.

From the perspective of vehicle modeling, basically in accordance with the previous official release of the concept of car design, four-door sedan body design, it is reported that the wheelbase up to 3150mm, and equipped with 22-inch bright wheels. Due to the recent news from the Guangzhou Auto Show, Hengchi 1 will be unveiled at the beginning of next year and achieve mass production by the end of the year. Therefore, for the design of the new car which is basically consistent with the concept model, it is difficult to guess whether the new car will be adjusted in mass production in the future if it is not seen that the driver is testing it.

In addition, the Hengchi logo officially issued by Evergrande has been hung on the front of the new car. Judging from the overall shape, the logo of Hengchi car is a magnificent lion head. Evergrande's official explanation means to protect the blue sky, win over the Red Sea, the Lion of the East, and be proud of the world.

In addition to the Hengchi 1 model, Evergrande also released Hengchi 2, Hengchi 3, Hengchi 4, Hengchi 5 and Hengchi 6, covering A to D classes, as well as cars, sedan cars, SUV, MPV and crossovers.

It is understood that Hengchi models come from the "handwriting" of designers of a number of multinational car companies. In October last year, Evergrande held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony with 15 of the world's top automobile styling designers from Germany, Italy, the United States, France, Japan and other countries to provide styling design for the full range of "Hengchi" models.

These include Walter De Silva;, who has 48 years of design experience, has 23 years of design experience as Audi Automotive Design Director and Volkswagen Group Design Director, Michael Robinson (Hengchi 3), who has been Design Director of Fiat and Broadcom, and Andres Warming (Hengchi 1, 2, 4), who has 19 years of design experience and has been the chief designer of BMW Group and MINI brand.

At present, Evergrande Automobile has officially launched trial production in two major production bases in Shanghai and Guangzhou. It is understood that Evergrande "Hengchi" series models will be mass produced in the second half of 2021. After the production workshop reaches full production, it will be able to produce 1 car per minute. According to the plan, Evergrande will achieve annual production capacity of about 1 million vehicles by 2025 and 5 million by 2035.

As a matter of fact, it has been only two years since Evergrande announced cross-border car construction. Xu Jiayin, chairman of Evergrande, has also said that it will take at least four and a half years from research and development to technological maturity, and if Evergrande takes four or five years to build, it may miss the best period. therefore, we hope to "change lanes to overtake" by "spending money".

Evergrande, which smashed out a car-building road through capital, was also shouting loudly. Xu Jiayin said, "Evergrande wants to change lanes to overtake, to sum up five words: buy, buy, circle, big, good." He also said that with the help of so many leading companies on Evergrande's car-building road, it is difficult not to succeed.

However, it is this kind of "PPT" car-building that has made Evergrande suspicious both inside and outside the industry. Even though Evergrande has released production maps in the production area many times, according to a previous article entitled "the absurd Story of Evergrande car Building", we all saw that the production line was so busy that we did not realize that the car and its shell were all Guoneng NEVS93 electric cars shipped from the Guoneng Tianjin factory acquired by Evergrande, while the workers all took a tool and pretended to screw a screw to draw a comparison.

According to Xu Jiayin's future plan, the annual output of new energy vehicles will reach 1 million, and it will take three to five years to develop into the largest and most powerful new energy vehicle group in the world. Xu Jiayin's investment budget for Evergrande new energy vehicles is 45 billion yuan in three years, including 20 billion yuan in 2019, 15 billion yuan in 2020 and 10 billion yuan in 2021. He has laid out ten major production bases in China, Sweden and other countries, and developed 15 new models at the same time.

As early as the end of 2018, it announced the launch of the "Hengda Neng 93" model, and said that 8000 units were pre-sold, but traffic insurance data from 2019 show that only four new cars have been insured, which also shows that the new car has not really been bought to consumers. So now even if Hengchi's first new car is exposed, Evergrande's road of building cars is still a mystery to the outside world.
