In addition to releasing the Southeast DX9, Southeast Motor also brings two concept cars, the Southeast N7 and the Southeast A7. Southeast N7 uses cross-border SUV body form, also uses a new design language, split headlight group and front grille harmonious integration. Southeast A7 is a pure electric car, the official only with the design draft to introduce the design concept of the car, sedan body styling is quite sporty.

Data show that Southeast Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. was established on November 23, 1995. It is jointly established by Fujian Automotive Industry Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Fuqi Group"), Warwick Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Warwick Co., Ltd.") and Japan Mitsubishi Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Mitsubishi Automobile"). Among them, Fuqi Group holds 50%, and the other two companies each hold 25%. On April 29, when the shares of Southeast Motor changed, Mitsubishi Motors, which originally held 25% of the shares, withdrew and was taken over by the new shareholder Fuzhou Transportation Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. (Fuzhou Exchange for short). On August 29, the equity of Southeast Automobile was changed again, and Minhou County Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Minhou Construction Investment") bought shares in Southeast Automobile. According to Tianyan investigation, Southeast Motor is currently jointly owned by Fuqi Group, Fuzhou Exchange, Warwick shares, and Minhou Construction Investment, of which Fuqi Group holds 37.6%. According to equity penetration, Fuqi Group is 100% controlled by the State-owned assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Fujian Provincial people's Government, and Fuzhou Stock Exchange is 100% controlled by the Fuzhou Municipal people's Government State-owned assets Supervision and Administration Commission. And Warwick shares is Zhonghua Motor, a subsidiary of Yulong Group.
From the perspective of development time, Southeast Automobile is also an established independent car company. At the beginning of its development, it introduced the vehicle manufacturing technology of Mitsubishi Automobile through Taiwan China Automotive, and became one of the most concerned car companies in China. In 2000, Southeast Motor launched its first compact SUV Fuli card. In 2003, Lingshuai, the first car of Southeast Automobile, was put on the market. In 2006, Mitsubishi Motors bought a stake in Southeast Automobile, handing over the R & D, manufacturing, sales and after-sales business of imported Mitsubishi cars to Southeast Automobile. Southeast Motor has obtained the support of Mitsubishi vehicle manufacturing research and development, and successively introduced products including Goran, Lancer, Yeshen, Junge, Fengdisi and other products, while Southeast Motor has independently developed Ling Shuai, Ling Gentry, Lingli and other models based on Mitsubishi Motors. Under the influence of products and word-of-mouth, Southeast Motor reached an all-time peak in 2013, with annual sales of 116000 vehicles.
Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "GAC GROUP") holds 50%, Mitsubishi Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Mitsubishi Automobile") holds 30%, and Mitsubishi Commercial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Mitsubishi Commercial") holds 20%. After the establishment of the GAC-Mitsubishi joint venture, Mitsubishi Motors will focus on GAC-Mitsubishi, and the Southeast Mitsubishi joint venture models will gradually withdraw from the market. During this period, although Mitsubishi Motors did not withdraw its investment, it has not provided any technical support since 2015. Without Mitsubishi's Southeast Motor, the market continues to deteriorate. According to the data, the cumulative sales of Southeast cars from 2018 to 2020 were 89279, 30502 and 14654 respectively, compared with 5338 in the first three quarters of this year.
Of course, from Southeast Automobile to a joint venture with GAC GROUP, the current market situation of GAC-Mitsubishi is not optimistic. Data show that GAC-Mitsubishi sold 144018 vehicles, 132147 vehicles and 74802 vehicles respectively from 2018 to 2020, with cumulative sales of 44582 vehicles in the first three quarters of this year.
It is not difficult to see that the current stock competition in the market is still very obvious, the normal survival of the fittest in the market, the structural adjustment of the automobile market, and the road to high-quality development is the law of the industry, whether it is independent brands or joint venture brands. At present, independent brands Zhongtai, Guanzhi, BAIC Yinxiang, Cheetah Motor, Haima Motor and other joint venture brands Guangqi Fick, Dongfeng Yueda Kia, Beijing Hyundai and so on have all encountered operational difficulties. At present, Southeast Motor is plagued by low sales, low competitiveness of new products, brand marginalization and other problems. It is planned to restore the image of consumers by launching new models and brand logos. Only the market can give the answer to its success.
