In terms of power, it has not yet been officially announced that the new car is expected to be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 252 horsepower. In terms of competitive products, it is expected that after the launch of the new car, it will form market competition with models such as Lantu dreamer (price 369900-689900 yuan) and Tengli D9 (expected price from 450000 yuan).

Judging from the current situation of the high-end MPV market, there is still a gap in the high-end MPV market segment, only some car companies layout pure electric MPV, including SAIC Chase MAXUS MIFA 9 and polar krypton new energy MPV, etc., in addition, the vehicle price of more than 600000 and influential models in the market are also very limited, but domestic brands such as Tencent Automobile have already launched the layout. On May 7 this year, Lantu Motors' first MPV model, the Lantu Dreamer, was officially put on the market. The car is located in a large MPV with a price range of 36.99-439900 yuan. On April 15, the Tengli brand's first medium-and large-scale high-end luxury MPV model, the Teng Zhi D9, was officially released with a range of 1000 kilometers and is expected to sell for 450000 yuan. According to Zhao Changjiang, general manager of the sales department of Tencent, the launch of the Tencent brand will be officially launched on May 16, when the Tengli D9 will also make its debut. In addition, FAW-Toyota's new MPV "GRANVIA" (the new car is named Gracia in Chinese) has also entered the declaration list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which means that the car will be officially launched soon.

Judging from the current positioning of Hongqi's new MPV model, the price of the new car is expected to be in the range of 40-600000 yuan, and from the market performance of Hongqi in the past two years, the market prospect of Hongqi's new MPV model may be clearer than that of Lantu dreamer and Teng Teng D9. Of course, this is only the current speculation. After all, Lantu Dreamer has just been on the market, and Teng Teng D9 and Red Flag MPV have not been listed yet. What the market performance of the next three will be left to the market to answer.

According to the concern of the automobile industry, the models with better sales in the field of MPV include Buick GL8, Chuanqi M8, Wuling Capgemini, Honda Odyssey / Ericsson, Sena and other models. Although the current MPV market volume is relatively small, with the listing of Lantu Dreamer, Teng Teng D9, FAW Toyota GRANVIA and Hongqi brand-new MPV models or further improve the MPV market models, it is not known whether these models can be sold on the market.

According to the 2021 MPV sales list, Buick GL8 sold 161300 vehicles, Chuanqi M8 66000 and Wuling Capgemini 63000. In addition, the latest data show that in April 2022, the domestic MPV market accumulated sales of 56000 vehicles, down 39.2% from the same period last year. Buick GL8 sales were 8824, the highest-selling model, followed by Chuanqi M8 and Sena, with cumulative sales of 8036 and 4993 respectively.
