AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/01 Report--

At the beginning of the year, Jetta brought a hard-line SUV concept car, TmurX, based on Kunlun architecture. Although the official production version of the car has not yet been unveiled so far, with the exposure of the patent map, it means that the appearance is basically set after mass production.

Recently, the automobile industry has obtained the patent map of the new car from the State Patent Office, which largely restores the design appearance of the concept car. According to the comprehensive concept car and appearance patent map, the new car as a whole adopts a relatively strong and retro design style, similar to Ford's Bronco and Tank 300. the high and raised engine cover, protruding fenders on both sides and various hard lines all highlight this design technique. At the same time, the LED headlamp group forms a square retro shape, while the headlamp as a whole is built into a lantern shape, which is combined with Chinese traditional culture. In addition, the front enclosure of the new car is equipped with a wide protective plate, which shows the wildness of the vehicle.

On the side of the body, the new car uses relatively straight lines, a suspended roof and a hidden door handle. The rear part of the car also adopts a tough design style, which is similar to that of the Land Rover Guardian, while the external spare tire design is adopted, and the rear enclosure adopts a very strong design, which can form a good echo with the front encirclement design. It is worth mentioning that the concept version of the model is to open the door design, this design approach is not unfamiliar, in the earlier FJ cool Luze has been reflected, but as a hard SUV, this design is not practical, so it is expected that the mass production version of the car door design will be used.

According to the product plan, the Jetway brand will launch 1-2 new cars each year, including urban SUV sales, cross-border products (Tmuri X series / pickup series / MPV series) and hybrid products. Among them, T product series will launch hard cross-country, intelligent cross-country, luxury cross-country and other models, covering the price range of 15-300000 yuan, to meet the cross-country travel needs of different consumers.

In terms of power, the T product series will include 1.0T, 2.0T, 3.0T fuel version and hybrid, pure electric and other options, the new car will be equipped with differential lock four-wheel drive system, including mechanical four-wheel drive and electric four-wheel drive version, the body structure includes load-bearing or non-load-bearing body structure. According to the plan, Tmuri 1, the first car in the T product series, will be launched in 2023. Tank 300 went on sale in December 2020 and was originally owned by the Great Wall WEY. The tank 300 was incorporated into the tank brand after the new high-end tank brand of the Great Wall was officially launched at the 2021 Shanghai Motor Show, while the original WEY logo was replaced with the TANK mark. As a hardline domestic SUV, the launch of Tank 300 lowered the threshold for domestic consumers to get access to hardline cross-country SUV, so it sold well all the way after it was put on the market, with cumulative sales of 96018 vehicles in the past year (April 2021-March 2022). During this period, production was reduced many times due to the influence of spare parts supply, and demand continued to fall short of supply in the market. Coupled with the slow production, the price of tank 300 rose even higher in the used car market. Demand is also increasing, and a second-hand tank 300 that has been driving for several months can still be sold at a price higher than the purchase price. For the Jetway brand, the launch of a cross-country SUV similar to the positioning of the Tank 300 may also see the development prospect of its market. As for whether the new off-road shortcut SUV can achieve the same good results as the tank 300, it is also worth looking forward to.

According to the data, Jetway is a brand series of Chery holding Group, which was officially launched in January 2018. The first Jetway X70 was launched in 2018. After its launch, it became popular with its accurate market positioning and high performance-to-price ratio, and its sales continued to exceed 10,000, making it a dark horse in the SUV market. At the beginning of 2019, the brand set a sales target of 150000 vehicles, but Jetta actually sold 138000 vehicles in 2019, which failed to meet the target. Jettos set a target of 200000 vehicles in 2020, but due to the epidemic and market reasons, the brand sold only 131000 vehicles, down 5.99% from the same period last year, and also failed to meet the annual target.

In July 2021, on the night of the Jetway Brand, Chery Holdings upgraded the Jetway brand to a Jetta car, which officially became an independent car brand. According to the data, Chery Group sold about 961900 vehicles in 2021, an increase of 31.7% over the same period last year. Among them, the cumulative sales of Jetta cars were 154000, an increase of 17.9% over the same period last year. According to the plan, new products such as the Jetway Xmuri 1 will be launched one after another this year, and sales are expected to reach 200000 in 2022. By 2026, the goal of annual sales of more than one million will be achieved.
