Recently, the eighth Xuanyuan Award 2021 China Automobile of the year Award ceremony was held at the Beijing Automobile Museum, which is a list mainly selected by the media team. All the selected models are 75 models listed between December 2019 and November 2020 (including manufacturer declaration). 45 shortlisted models were identified in the early evaluation in late October 2020, and then 25 models were nominated, of which 10 won the top 10 and 2 won the annual award.

Let's take a look at the models that won the prize. The eighth Xuanyuan Award 2021 China car of the year, two models won the annual award, respectively, Red Flag H9 and Xiaopeng P7.

The Red Flag H9, currently FAW's most expensive fuel model, has attracted attention since its debut at the Great Hall of the people on January 8 this year. August 23, Red Flag H9 officially launched, the new car against the standard Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5-Series and other luxury brands. In a sense, Red Flag H9 is a symbol of independent brands, representing a new height of competition between independent luxury brands and foreign luxury brands, as well as a symbol of the upward development of domestic independent brands, officials said. As of October this year. The cumulative sales of Red Flag H9 is 6523.

The second model is the Xiaopeng P7, which comes from the new power of car building. According to the official statement, the main reason why Xiaopeng P7 won the annual award is not the comfort of the chassis, not the motor, nor the manipulation, but the voice interaction. In a sense, Xiaopeng P7 is another development trend of China's independent brands, symbolizing the advantages of intelligent car-building brands, but also indicates the shortcomings of traditional independent brands in intelligent technology. It is understood that the Xiaopeng P7 is the second mass production model of Xiaopeng, which was officially launched in April and delivered in June, with a cumulative delivery volume of 11371 vehicles in the previous November.

In addition to the above two models, there are 10 models that won the Top Ten of the year in China, including 4 fuel vehicles and 6 new energy vehicles, namely Changan UNI-T, Xilai EC6, ideal ONE, Tesla Model 3, Geely Xingrui, Red Flag E-HS9, Ola good Cat, WEY Tank 300, Roewe iMAX8 and Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. It is worth mentioning that the WEY Tank 300 is not yet on the market, but it has been selected as the top 10 models of the year, presumably for the manufacturer to apply for testing.

From the point of view of the selected models, consumers' evaluation of these models is more pertinent in the market. Take Changan UNI-T model as an example, this model uses a new design language in appearance, which is obviously different from Changan's models on sale, and has become the trend of high-end development of Changan automobile. Geely Xingrui is a domestic compact car with a starting price of 113700 yuan, which is based on Geely CMA platform, equipped with 2.0T engine from Volvo, the maximum power is 140kW (190PS), and the maximum torque is 300N ·m. And ideal ONE, Tesla Model 3, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV and other new energy vehicles continue to sell well, representing the development trend of the new energy vehicle industry.

In addition, there are 13 nominated models are Kia K5, Skyline ME7, Wuling Capitol, New Baojun E300, Harvard Dog, Harvard H6, ARCFOX Polar Fox α T, Ian V, Polar Star 2, Chase EUNIQ 7, Audi A4L, Chery Tiger 8 PLUS and Buick GL8 AVENIR Avia.

Data show that Xuanyuan Award, also known as China Automobile Industry Annual contribution Award, is a world-class China Automobile Industry Annual contribution Award jointly created by Automotive Business Review magazine and Austrian EFS in September 2013. It is understood that all the tests of China's annual car of the eighth Xuanyuan Award 2021 were completed in Hubei Xiangyang National Automobile quality Supervision and Inspection Center (NAST). The whole test includes static and dynamic evaluation, electric vehicle energy efficiency evaluation and intelligent evaluation newly introduced this year.

From the perspective of the nominated models, these more or less have a certain competitive advantage and position in the market, such as Red Flag H9, Changan UNI-T, Geely Xingrui, Chery Tiger 8 PLUS and so on. It is worth mentioning that, except for Model 3, Kaiku, Polar 2, Audi A4L and Buick GL8, most of the selected models are self-branded models. As for whether there are fewer joint venture brand models or the rise of independent brands, perhaps only the authorities know.
