AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/30 Report--

Recently, the latest official picture of Chery Erize 5 GT has been exposed. Judging from the exposed pictures, the appearance of the new car is similar to a spindle-shaped grille, a diamond-shaped design for a black middle net, a symbolic LOGO in the center, and a GT logo next to it to improve the vehicle's recognition. The headlights on both sides are L-shaped daytime driving lights, and the overall front face design style is similar to that of Lexus, showing an "X" shape.

In the side section, the new car will be equipped with 17-inch double five-spoke smoked wheels and built-in orange calipers to enhance the vehicle's sense of movement. In the rear part, Chery Erize 5 GT taillights are integrated with various styles of lights to improve the overall recognition of the vehicle after lighting the lights. In addition, the taillights on the left and right sides are connected with black decorative strips to form a penetrating visual effect. The bilateral exhaust layout also shows the sports properties of the new car.

Interior decoration: from the earlier media exposure of the interior spy photos, the new car will be equipped with a large-size joint screen, with a three-spoke flat-bottomed multi-function steering wheel to enhance the overall sense of movement of the vehicle. The center console uses a more personalized style, it has a prominent small platform, which uses touch buttons. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a Kunpeng 1.6T engine with a maximum power of 197hp and a maximum torque of 290Nm, matching a 7-speed wet double-clutch transmission with 0-100km/h acceleration for 6 seconds. In terms of price, the official has not yet announced. But with reference to the positioning of the "GT" model, the price may be higher than the standard version.

Competitive products: after the launch, it will be on the standard shadow leopard, UNI-V, Mingjue 6 and other models. According to relevant data, Shadow Leopard's latest April sales were 2800, with a cumulative sales of 12260 in 2022. Changan UNI-V sold 5426 units in April, and the cumulative sales of Changan UNI-V reached 11381 from January to April. The latest sales of Mingjue 6 were 1128 in March, with a cumulative sales of 5715 in 2022.

According to Chery Group's April sales, KuaiBao can see that Chery Group sold 55588 new cars in April, down 27.6 percent from 76775 in the same period last year. From January to April, cumulative sales were 284865, up 0.9 per cent from 282000 in the same period last year. For its specific brand sales, Chery sold 41884 vehicles in April, down 21.97% from 53680 in the same period last year. Starway Motor sold 12264 vehicles from January to April, an increase of 53% over the same period last year. According to Jetta sales figures, the X70x sold 5991 vehicles, the X90 sold 1027, and the total sold 7018 in April. Judging from the data, it is not difficult to see that its sales are declining, and Chery Group also responded that the main reason for the decline is that about 30% of the first-tier suppliers are in Shanghai, which is in the closed zone, and Wuhu, the factory production base, has also been blocked for nearly a week, resulting in insufficient production capacity. Production capacity has returned to 70% of its normal level in early May, and sales are expected to follow suit.

It is understood that the Chery brand has Ruihu 8, Ruihu 7, Ruihu 3, Ruihu 5X and Erize 5PLUS five models on sale, its models cover small SUV, compact SUV, medium-sized SUV and compact cars, of which Ruihu 8 has the highest sales. However, in the absence of new models, it is not easy to rely on these five models alone to achieve a breakthrough in sales, but with the mass production of Kunpeng DHT hybrid technology and the launch of new models, perhaps the sales of the Chery brand can rise to another high-rise. Judging from Chery's earlier plans, it has said it aims to have a target of 150-2 million vehicles this year. But under the impact of the epidemic, Chery's sales fell sharply in April, making it more difficult for Chery to achieve its goals. However, in order to reduce the impact of capacity shortages in April, Chery's major brands are also accelerating the launch of new models, hoping to boost sales. For example, the Chery Tiger 8 PRO went on sale on May 18, the Xingtuo Moon five exploration version went on sale on May 16, and the new X70S and Great Sage of Jetta also launched pre-sale. However, it will take time to see whether Chery can achieve its sales target of 2020 on schedule.
