● Link 01
New car features: positioning high-end China brand SUV and Volvo 40 series are built on the same platform.
Date of listing: the fourth quarter of 2017
The Lexus 01 model was officially released on the eve of the Shanghai Auto Show. The car will be produced in the Luqiao base of Geely Group in the future, and will be officially listed in China in the fourth quarter of this year, and will enter the European and American markets in 2019.

The appearance design of the new car is very avant-garde, and the visual impact of the front face is very strong. The square front net shape leaves a deep impression. The headlights are integrated with the front air intake grille, and the overall effect is very coherent. The shape of the LED day workshop running lights and turn signals above is very individual.

From the side, the new car maintains the style of the previous concept car, adopts a two-color body design, and the black roof and silver decorative strips look very fashionable and unique. In addition, the new car is also equipped with brand-new ribbed spokes. The new car is based on CMA (Compact Modular Architecture), and its wheelbase is 2730mm. It is worth mentioning that the CMA architecture is led by Volvo Cars and jointly developed by Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars. In the future, Volvo’s brand-new 40 family models will be born on this platform.


At the rear, the lines of the LECK 01 quasi-mass production car are very smooth and layered, and the taillights are also L-shaped, but the internal light group will be slightly adjusted. The shape of the rear bumper echoes that of the front bumper, and it is equipped with two exhaust ports on both sides.

The new car is based on CMA modular architecture jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, so it can provide a variety of power systems in terms of power, including 1.5T three-cylinder gasoline engine, 2.0T four-cylinder gasoline engine, hybrid system and pure electric system. In terms of transmission, the new car offers six-speed manual transmission, six-speed automatic transmission and seven-speed dual clutch transmission. In addition, the new car will be equipped with a four-wheel drive system in the future.
Editor’s comment:Lectra 01 was officially unveiled in China on the eve of this year’s Shanghai Auto Show. As a high-end brand of Geely Automobile, Lectra has Geely’s sales channels and Volvo’s technical endorsement, which makes it have good competitiveness and the strength to challenge overseas mainstream brands.
Link has set its sights on the hottest SUV market at present. In this highly competitive market, the Lectra 01 model has many bright spots, both in appearance design and powertrain adjustment, which are very international. But as a brand-new brand, there are still some uncertainties. Therefore, if the car can show its advantages in cost performance in the future, I believe it can still win the favor of consumers.
● WEY VV5
Features of the new car: the same positioning of high-end SUV models, the overall sense of luxury.
Date of listing: within 2017
At the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, WEY officially released two series of VV5 models, namely V5C and V5S, in which V5C is more inclined to the positioning of the city, while V5S is more inclined to sports. In fact, VV5 is the new name of WEYW02, a compact SUV that was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show. It is reported that the new car is expected to be officially listed this year.

The front face of the WEY VV5 model basically continues the design style of the previous WEY W02 model.

The size of the air inlets on both sides of the VV5s model is also more exaggerated, and the visual effect is excellent.



The tail shape of WEY VV5 5 car series is very full and heavy. Moreover, the taillight group of the car adopts full LED light source, which has excellent visual effect after lighting and reflects each other with the previous daytime running lights. In addition, the VV5s also uses a bilateral exhaust layout with a total of four outlets, which has a strong sense of movement. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the car are 4462/1857/1638mm and the wheelbase is 2680mm respectively.

In the interior part, WEY VV5 has a simple overall design and a sense of science and technology, and the circular air outlet is matched with the suspended central control display, which also adds a lot of color to the interior. In addition, the new car uses high-tech configurations such as streaming media rearview mirror, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, parking assistance, uphill assistance and seat heating, which also adds a lot to the new car.


In the seating space, the experiencer with a height of 180cm sits in the front row and has three fingers of head space. Keeping the front row motionless, when the same experiencer sits in the back row, he can get more than 2 fists of leg space, and the distance from the head space to the skylight is only 3 fingers. Overall, the car’s head space performance is relatively general.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine code-named GW4C20, with a maximum power of 197 HP (145kW) and a peak torque of 315 Nm, which is consistent with the brand-new Haval H6 model. In terms of transmission system, the new car will match the 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.
Editor’s comment:VV7, the first model of WEY brand, has been promoted to a new height in terms of exterior design, interior materials, configuration and creating a sense of luxury. At the same time, compared with other SUV models of China brand, it also has considerable advantages. The VV5 model launched this time continues to maintain this advantage, but it is slightly lower in positioning than the VV7 model. In the future, it is believed that WEY brand will continuously enrich its product line, so that the influence of WEY brand will gradually increase. It is believed that with these advantages, VV5 models can occupy a place in the market.
● Chery brand new Tiggo 5
New car features: brand-new appearance design
Time to market: the second half of 2017 is planned.
Chery’s brand-new Tiggo 5 was officially unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show, which opened in April. As a replacement model of the current Tiggo 5, the new car has a brand-new design in terms of appearance and interior, and it is younger as a whole. According to the news we learned before, the new car will be officially listed in the second half of this year.



Appearance, the car is based on the concept β concept car, and continues many design elements in the concept car, such as the headlight shape and the design of the front air intake grille composed of multiple groups of diamonds, which also makes the new Tiggo 5 very dynamic. Design. From the tail, the new car is also very chic, and the chrome trim strip connected in the middle of the taillights also adds a bit of visual effect to the new car.

In terms of interior, Chery’s brand-new Tiggo 5 adopts the latest interior style of Chery family, and the overall shape is younger. At the same time, the two-color interior color matching is more in line with the aesthetics of young consumers.

In terms of power, Chery’s new Tiggo 5 will use the same 1.5T turbocharged engine as the Arrizo 5 SPORT. According to the declared data, the maximum power is 147 HP (108kW).
Editor’s comment:At present, the domestic compact SUV market is very hot, and Chery brand has also performed well in this market before, but with the longer time to market of the Tiggo 5 model, its competitiveness has dropped significantly. The new Tiggo 5, the replacement model, is precisely to regain recognition in this market. The new car has been upgraded in appearance and interior, which is closer to the needs of young consumers as a whole. However, the Tiggo 7 model is also a compact SUV, so there is a certain competitive relationship between them, and it is inevitable that there will be some internal friction. We will wait and see what strategy Chery will adopt in the future.
● Weilai ES8
New car features: Weilai Automobile’s first SUV model
Time to market: planned in 2017.
At the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, the first SUV model ES8 of Weilai Automobile was officially unveiled. As the second production model of Weilai Automobile, the car has also attracted much attention.

In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the design concept of Weilai brand "X-bar", and the suspended roof shape is created by blackening the D-pillar on the side, and the overall line is very powerful. As a new energy vehicle, the LCD instrument panel and the central control large screen are still standard. The overall interior design style of the new car is simple, and the through air conditioning outlet increases the horizontal visual effect of the interior. The steering wheel is also designed with a flat bottom, which highlights its sports genes. At the same time, the appearance of the round display screen in the center console also adds a bit of playful flavor to the new car. In addition, the ES8 is a pure electric 7-seat SUV with a seat layout of 2+3+2, with a length of over 5 meters, a width of over 2 meters and a wheelbase of over 3 meters.

At the same time, the new car will also be equipped with full-time intelligent four-wheel drive control system and liquid-cooled replaceable battery technology.
Editor’s comment:You may feel a little strange about the brand Weilai Automobile. Previously, the launch of its first production car, EP9, showed you the strength of this brand-new car in racing, which successfully refreshed the fastest lap times of electric production cars in the North Ring Road of Nurburgring and Shanghai International Circuit.
However, Weilai Automobile was obviously not satisfied with this, and then they launched its first SUV model ES8. Compared with EP9, Weilai ES8 model is closer to our life. At the same time, it is very smart for the new car to target the pure electric 7-seat SUV model, because there is no real competitor in this level. From the product itself, avant-garde design, rich configuration and "power-changing mode" also add a lot of color to the car. According to Weilai official, its manufacturing system and supply chain layout have been set up, and mass production preparations are in progress. It is expected to be officially released this year and delivered next year.
● BAIC brand new Saab X55
New car features: adopt a brand-new design style.
Time to market: within 2017

In terms of appearance, Beiqi Sic Bo’s new X55 has undergone a new design. Compared with the current model, the new car is younger and sporty, and the shape of the front bumper is also quite designed, and the overall sports atmosphere is full. The shape of the headlight group is relatively simple, the whole front has a strong sense of hierarchy, and the front air intake grille also adopts a grid design.

Compared with the current model, the side shape of the new Sic Bo X55 has not changed much, but the blackened C-pillar and D-pillar create the effect of suspended roof, and the redesigned double five-spoke wheel rim is very dynamic. In addition, the exterior rearview mirror of the new car is painted in black, which looks sporty.

The shape of the rear of the new car has also changed greatly. Compared with the current car series, the thick chrome trim in the middle part divides the rear of the car into two parts, which makes the layering more clear. At the same time, the shape of the taillight group of the new car is also very design-oriented, and it is believed that it will have a good visual effect after lighting.


In terms of interior, the new Sic Bo X55 adopts a redesigned center console, and the suspended central control panel with a large area of wood grain decoration makes the new car more classy, which is much more beautiful than the current model. Beiqi LOGO-shaped air conditioning outlet is very novel, and the air conditioning and multimedia control area below it can be seen that it draws on the design style of Mercedes-Benz brand models, and the sense of grade has been improved again.

At present, the official has not released the power information of the car. According to the current model, the new car is equipped with 1.5L and 1.5T engines, and its maximum power is 112 horsepower and 150 horsepower respectively. In terms of transmission, a 5-speed manual gearbox or CVT gearbox is available.
Editor’s comment:The current Beiqi Sic Bo X55 model was officially put on sale in January 2016, but only one year and three months later, it was introduced at the Shanghai Auto Show, and the speed of upgrading was also confusing. However, from the aspects of appearance, interior, configuration, etc., the improvement of the new Saab X55 compared with the current model is indeed very obvious, and it is also more in line with the tastes of young people nowadays. Therefore, from this perspective, the launch of the new Saab X55 model is still very worth looking forward to, but we will wait and see what changes BAIC’s strategy for the current X55 model will make.
● dongfeng fengshen AX4
New car features: personalized design
Time to market: September 2017
Dongfeng fengshen brand’s first small SUV——AX4, was officially unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show, which opened in April. The owner is a young consumer group with fashion and individuality. At the same time, according to previous news, the car is expected to be officially launched in September.

The appearance of dongfeng fengshen AX4 is individual and bold, and the shape of the front air intake grille is unique. The daytime running lights and headlights are designed separately and connected with the front air intake grille, creating a good visual effect. At the same time, the car’s front fog lamp design is also very special, using a rectangular design, huge size, with a dazzling chrome frame next to it. Generally speaking, the appearance of the car can be described as "very fashionable".


In addition to the unique shape of the front face, the visual effects of its side and rear are equally eye-catching. The shape of the lower fender on the side of the car is very linear, and the D-pillar and the trunk adopt a large-area contrast color design. The rear fog lamp and the chrome-plated frame around it adopt the style that echoes the front fog lamp.

In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with a brand-new in-vehicle intelligent interconnection system, and also equipped with in-vehicle Wi-Fi function. In addition, such as ESP body stability control system, tire pressure monitoring, reversing images, front side airbags, side air curtains, and low-speed anti-collision systems are all available.

Editor’s comment:In today’s China brand small SUV market, the face value of a car has become one of the key factors considered by the main consumers in this market-young people. And various car companies are also making efforts, taking different routes to build cars that can not only highlight the brand value, but also have enough personality appearance. The AX4 model is also a small SUV model for young consumers, focusing on the design concept.
At present, the configuration richness of AX4 is good, but if we look at the China brand SUV with a price of about 100,000 yuan, its cost performance is not so outstanding. From this point of view, whether the AX4 model can successfully seize the market in the future mainly depends on the pricing and future configuration level, and it is expected that the car will give consumers a satisfactory answer when it goes on the market.
● Dongfeng scenery S560
New car features: the new compact SUV is equipped with two powertrains.
Date of listing: October 2017
Previously, Dongfeng Scenery officially announced the product master plan for 2017-2020. First, a brand-new compact SUV, Dongfeng Scenery S560, will be launched this year, which will be equipped with 1.5T turbocharged and 1.8L naturally aspirated engines. According to previous news, the car will be officially listed in October.

In terms of appearance, the overall design of the car is more fashionable, the front face adopts family-style design language, and the chrome-plated decorative strips with wide front air intake grille run through the central brand LOGO, and are connected with the headlights on both sides, which greatly improves the recognition of the car. At the same time, the car’s black wheel eyebrows and side skirts are matched with the silver anti-friction guard at the rear of the car body, which also highlights its off-road atmosphere.

At the rear of the car body, the new car uses a wide chrome trim to echo the design of the front of the car. The design of the taillights is relatively common, but it looks very harmonious. The new car is positioned as a compact SUV with a length, width and height of 4515/1815/1735mm and a wheelbase of 2690mm, which is slightly smaller than that of the Scenery 580.


In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with 1.5T and 1.8L naturally aspirated engines. Among them, the maximum power of 1.5T engine is 150 HP, and the maximum power of 1.8L engine is 138 HP. In terms of transmission, there is no relevant information at present, but we guess that manual and CVT models will be launched.
Editor’s comment:Dongfeng Scenery 580 has achieved good results in the medium-sized SUV market, with an average monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles. It is precisely for this reason that Dongfeng Scenery S560 has been launched, with the main purpose of further expanding the advantages of various market segments and improving the market competitiveness of Dongfeng Scenery. In the China brand compact SUV market, the competitive pressure is also very great. The competitors also include Baojun 560, Emgrand GS, Changan CS75 and many other strongmen. In the future, I believe that this car will be recognized by consumers with its good configuration and power performance after listing.
● Junma’s first SUV model
New car features: Zotye’s brand-new brand locates young people.
Date of listing: November 2017
A few days ago, we obtained the latest road test spy photos of Junma’s first SUV model from relevant channels. It is reported that the new car will adopt a 7-seat layout in the future and will also be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. In addition, according to previous news, the new car is expected to be unveiled in November.


Externally, the new car adopts a brand-new design language, and the large-mouth air intake grille is decorated with T-shaped chrome. At the same time, the "TRAUM" logo in the middle highlights the identity of the new car. From the side, two sharp lines run through the car body, and with the suspended roof design, the side of the new car looks very slender.


"previously exposed Junma’s new SUV spy photos"
The tail shape of the new car is consistent with the previously exposed design drawings. The slender tail light group echoes the headlights. At the same time, according to the spy photos exposed before, the exhaust layout of the two sides and the decoration of the vents on both sides of the exhaust port add a touch of movement to the new car.


"previously exposed Junma’s new SUV spy photos"
In terms of power, we learned that the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine in the future. According to the powertrain plan announced by Junma Automobile, the engine will provide a maximum power of 177 HP and a peak torque of 260 Nm.
Editor’s comment:Junma, as a brand-new brand, is still very strange to everyone. According to the data, it is a brand-new subsidiary of Zotye Automobile Group. In recent years, Zotye has been controversial in its design, and in order to remain competitive in the SUV market, Junma brand has become a breakthrough.
In the future, Junma Automobile will mainly target young consumers and young families, launch more models in the next decade, and use a brand-new logo to distinguish it from Zotye’s products. According to the plan, Junma will first develop fuel vehicles, focus on SUV and car products, and gradually promote new energy vehicle products. It is planned to launch nine brand-new models within three years.
● Na Zhijie U5 SUV
Features of the new car: focus on the young market and comprehensively lay out SUV models.
Date of listing: the fourth quarter
Na Zhijie released its brand-new small SUV at the Shanghai Auto Show in April, and recently, the car was officially named U5 SUV. In addition, according to the information we have obtained before, the official launch time of the new car is in the fourth quarter of this year.

The front face of the new car adopts a big mouth design similar to that of Rui 3, the middle net is painted in black, the headlights on both sides are sharp in shape, and the black decorative strip running through the front fender extends backwards from the outer corner of the headlights, which makes the headlights look very sharp. On the whole, the front shape of the new car not only continues the family characteristics, but also increases the unique personalized detail design.

On the side, the new car adopts a slip-back design similar to that of the excellent 6 SUV. The front fender molding is transformed into a waistline from the front door and extends backwards, while the second waistline is drawn backwards from the upper edge of the chrome-plated molding behind the black front wheel brow. In addition, the new car is also equipped with double five-spoke large-size aluminum alloy wheels and roof rack. Overall, the new car has a strong cross-border atmosphere.

Judging from the previously exposed interior spy photos, the interior of U5 SUV follows the design elements of Nazhijie’s family style, and its shape is basically the same as that of Rui 3. Rules for dividing areas such as central control display screen and air conditioning control area. At the same time, as a small SUV focusing on young sports, the carbon fiber effect material is also used near the handlebar to create a strong sense of movement.
In terms of power, we expect that the new car will share the 1.6L engine of PSA Group with the new excellent 6 SUV, and the transmission system is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
Editor’s comment:As a domestic brand, Na Zhijie of Dongfeng Yulong has been deeply involved in the SUV market in the domestic market. The sales of You 6 SUV and Da 7 SUV models are not bad at the initial stage of listing, but with the increasingly fierce market competition, Na Zhijie continues to compete for the market with fresh blood, and U5 SUV models shoulder this mission.
In the future, Nazhijie U5 SUV will be equipped with a 1.6L engine from PSA, and for PSA, the market share of its power system can also be expanded through this cooperation. In addition, PSA and Yulong have cooperated with Dongfeng Group. I believe it is not difficult to reach this agreement. We also look forward to the actual driving performance of Nazhijie U5 SUV equipped with this powertrain in the future.
● Wuling Hongguang S3
New car features: the first SUV of Wuling brand
Time to market: within 2017
At this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, SAIC-GM-Wuling officially released its first SUV model-Wuling Hongguang S3, which has a wild design and is expected to adopt a 7-seat layout. It is reported that the new car will be officially listed this year.

As the first SUV of Wuling, the front face of the new car is designed to get rid of the idea of MPV or micro-surface models, which looks slightly domineering. At the same time, the headlight group is connected with the grille, and the fog lamp and the front enclosure design also show the hardliners.

Compared with the front of the car, Wuling Hongguang S3 still has some micro-surface shadows on the side of the car body, which does not have the domineering feeling of SUV, and the visual effect of the smaller rim is relatively simple. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4655/1735/1780mm (1790mm for high-profile models) and the wheelbase is 2800 mm. The body width of 1735mm is indeed a little narrow for a medium-sized SUV. With the body height of 1780mm, the proportion is not harmonious.

The tail of the new car presents the visual effect of the suspended roof, and the taillight group uses LED light source, which looks very chic and more exquisite than other products of Wuling, but it still lacks the heavy feeling of some SUVs. In addition, according to the official, the new car is a 7-seat SUV.

Wuling Hongguang S3′ s interior adopts two-color color matching design, which has certain vitality. At the same time, the popular floating central control display screen also appeared on the car, and its air conditioning outlet is also equipped with a quartz clock, which has a certain sense of grade. In addition, configurations such as electronic handbrake also appeared on the car.

In terms of power, the new car will provide 1.5L and 1.5T engines. Refer to Baojun 730. The maximum power of these two engines is 112 HP and 150 HP respectively, and the peak torque is 147 Nm and 230 Nm respectively. At the same time, the car uses the driving form of engine front and rear drive, and the rear wheel is equipped with independent suspension, which is commendable.
Editor’s comment:Wuling Hongguang series cars can be described as a topical "magic car". Of course, there are reasons for this. In 2015 and 2016, the car created a total sales volume of 655,000 and 650,000 respectively, maintaining the best sales record of a single domestic passenger car, and the car has long occupied the top position in the MPV rankings. Therefore, after Wuling announced the launch of SUV models, most consumers are still very concerned.
However, after the appearance of Wuling Hongguang S3 model, the controversy about the appearance of the car has been going on, but I think that different people have different opinions on the appearance. Although everyone has disputes about the appearance, it does not affect his position in the hearts of consumers. After all, the characteristics of Wuling brand’s own topic attribute have also continued to this model. Whether the car can become an "explosive" SUV model in the future depends on whether it can surprise consumers in terms of price.
● Dongfeng demeanor MX3
New car features: brand-new design
Time to market: It is expected to be listed within this year.
As a brand-new compact SUV, Dongfeng Fengdu MX3 was officially released at the Shanghai Auto Show, and the appearance of the new car adopted a different design style from previous models. The power part will be equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 124 HP, and its comprehensive fuel consumption is officially announced to be 7.1L/100km. At the same time, the new car is expected to be officially listed this year.



Dongfeng style MX3 front face design is sporty and fashionable, and the silver single chrome trim on the front air intake grille connects the headlight group with the LOGO in the center of the front of the car, and the visual effect is simple and generous. The lower air intake grille is large in size, and the fog lamp areas on both sides are also decorated around chrome trim strips, and a silver anti-scratch guard is added under the bumper. On the tail side, the design of Dongfeng Style MX3 is also relatively simple, using the ups and downs of lines to create a sense of hierarchy.

"The picture shows the Dongfeng style MX3 interior spy photos"

"The picture shows the interior of dongfeng fengshen AX5"
The interior of this car was not officially unveiled at the auto show, but judging from the spy photos of the interior we exposed before, the design of the new car is basically the same as that of dongfeng fengshen AX5, so there is not much surprise. According to the information previously declared, Dongfeng Fengdu MX3 will be equipped with skylights, reversing images, side airbags/air curtains, and top luggage racks.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4506/1806/1642 mm (1670)mm after adding luggage rack) and the wheelbase is 2630mm, which is very similar to the size of dongfeng fengshen AX5, so we can judge that it is positioned as a compact SUV. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine (code-named DFMA16) independently developed by Dongfeng, with a maximum power output of 124 HP (91kW), which is also used in dongfeng fengshen A60, dongfeng fengshen S30 and other vehicles. In addition, it is officially announced that this car has a top speed of 170km/h and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.1L/100km.
Editor’s comment:At present, Dongfeng Fengdu brand has two SUVs, namely, Dongfeng Fengdu MX6 and Dongfeng Fengdu MX5, which are familiar to everyone. The MX6 model was built on the platform of Laoqijun, while the MX5 is a brand-new model designed by Mr. Yamazaki Gang, the styling director of Zhengzhou Nissan. In addition, the new car and dongfeng fengshen AX7 come from the same technical platform, and the chassis structure is basically the same. It can be said that Dongfeng Fengdu is a product that is widely used by the group resources.
The design of Dongfeng Style MX3 has given us a lot of surprises. First of all, its styling design is eye-catching, but the shortcoming is that the interior of the new car is consistent with that of dongfeng fengshen AX5. In addition, the wheelbase of the two cars is completely one, and with similar body size, I believe this car should be a sister model of Fengshen AX5. But as a result, the new car obviously lacks some sincerity in the interior, and we expect the car to surprise us in other aspects.
● Lifan brand new small SUV
New car features: brand-new design style, or named "Pengfei"
Time to market: It is expected to be listed within this year.
Previously, we obtained the application information of Lifan’s brand-new SUV from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which was code-named "CY02C" or positioned as a compact SUV. According to the tail mark in the rear picture, the new car may be named "Lifan Pengfei".

According to the declaration, the appearance of the new car adopts Lifan’s latest family-style design language, and the hexagonal large mouth air intake grille and open-corner headlight group on the front face are both popular designs. At the same time, the lower bumper is tough, the fog lights on both sides are simple in design, and the overall front face style is very attractive. From the side, the B, C and D columns of the new car are blackened to create the visual effect of the suspended roof. The rear design of the car body is simple, and the silver anti-scratch guard under the bumper is surrounded by the black bottom around the car body, which makes the car look as wild as an SUV.

The body size of the new car is 4390/1820/1715mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm, which is close to the entry compact SUV. According to different vehicle configurations, the new car will be equipped with tires with specifications of 215/60 R17 and 225/55 R18, and a variety of rim shapes will be available. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with skylights, ESP and so on.
In terms of power, Lifan Pengfei will be equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine of model LF483Q with a maximum power of 141 HP (104kW). According to the spy photos previously exposed, there will be manual and automatic gearboxes for the transmission system of the new car.
Editor’s comment:Compared with the tepid in previous years, Lifan brand is gradually coming into people’s field of vision from Xuan Lang and X80 models. From the product layout of Lifan, Lifan has deployed two small SUVs, Lifan X60 and Lifan X50, but the sales performance of these two models is very bleak. Among them, Lifan X50 sold 1,006 vehicles in the first four months of this year, while Lifan X60 sold 2,845 vehicles in the first four months of this year. Faced with the small SUV market full of potential, such performance is obviously not what Lifan wants to see. Therefore, it is very important for Lifan whether this brand-new small SUV that will be listed in the future can capture consumers.
● Magic Speed S7
New car features: 7 medium-sized SUV models have been added.
Time to market: 4th quarter of 2017
Previously, we learned from Beiqi Magic Speed that its new car plan for 2017 will launch three brand-new SUV models S4, S5 and S7 in 2017, and at the same time, it will launch seven MPV models-H5. Recently, we also obtained the declaration map of Beiqi Magic Speed S7 from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which is expected to be listed in the fourth quarter.

According to the latest application drawing, the front face of Magic Speed S7 is similar to that of Magic Speed S5 currently on sale. It adopts the family-style "X"-shaped front air intake grille, which is very similar to the design of Lexus spindle front face. In addition, I can vaguely see that the side of the new car is very slender.

Compared with the front face, the rear design of the new car is slightly dull, but its huge rear bumper and silver fender highlight the wildness of the SUV. At the same time, depending on the configuration, the car will provide panoramic sunroof and other configurations.

As a 7-seat medium-sized SUV, the length, width and height of the new car are 4800/1850/1770(1800 with luggage rack) and the wheelbase is 2780 mm. According to the declared information, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 150 HP. We will continue to pay attention to more news about the new car.
Editor’s comment:Beiqi Magic Speed has launched a brand-new model very quickly. The Magic Speed S7 launched this time is another SUV model after S3, S3L and S6. Although it belongs to the same SUV model, it has different emphasis on body size and configuration and appearance modeling. The Magic Speed S7 launched this time focuses on practicality and space. In the future, Beiqi Magic Speed will continue to enrich its product line and provide consumers with more choices.
