in 2019, and for Wei to Li Bin, it is indeed “very difficult” year. But to be honest, 2019. Wei to car overall trend is fairly decent, especially in the circle repairer among the new forces, and many of the new addition to Wei, the wave of the rest of the first two years of the new forces which came out Xiaopeng, etc. brand, this year have been dying, Xiaopeng’s future remains highly challenging, do have to have sales data transcripts, Wei to really count.
Wei to deliver full-year 2019 vehicles totaled 20565 units, including 11433 Taiwan Taiwan Wei Wei to ES6,9132 to ES8, which total deliveries of new cars in December 3170 sets, including 2537 Taiwan Taiwan Wei Wei to ES6,633 to ES8. Although sales rose for seven consecutive months, but monthly sales performance is still not really take the amount, no doubt Wei needs more new products to take the amount of potential. In just the past NEO day by the end of 2019, Wei to debut its third in a car –EC6.
When everyone thought to Wei should be laid when the car line, but still Wei to bring an SUV. EC6 what model it is? Jiang brother believes that it is not even a traditional SUV, it belongs to the cross-border appears to have meant coupe SUV. Li Bin called it “found the key to the popularity of electric vehicles,” but let Jiang brother expressed puzzled, on the level of vehicle positioning behind us revisit the topic, take a look at the car itself.
First, the coupe SUV – EC6
From the appearance of the EC6, it seems that we can see some coupe-style SUV, the front face of the new car is still used Wei to family design language, roughly the same as the ES6, shorter body posture but also to create a sense of style coupe. The tail is almost every SUV coupe are almost the same shape. Interior of information yet to be announced, but speculation that Jiang brother because of cost considerations, Wei will continue to apply the interior design of the family.
Dynamic aspects, it provides two powertrain EC6, and divided into Standard Edition performance, wherein the standard version has 435 Ps and 610 Nm of torque, while the performance reached Edition543 Ps and a torque of 725 Nm. Introducing the life EC6 Wei to 100kWh new battery pack, NEDC endurance capacity 615km.
Although the book from the point of view, EC6 like a good product strength of new models, but can not be ignored is that, from the BMW X6, next to Chang’an CS85, Geely the more stars, etc., GLA though 2019 was the first year of the SUV called the coupe, but they never take the amount of coupe SUV, even with cross-border coupe style, have abandoned such a design in which the next generation of models . Wei to the betting critical in 2020 in coupe SUV market, it is adventure!
Second, the enemy close to
In contrast Tesla to enter China, no devaluation SUV, but the price of the cheapest and most widely audience Model 3 cars were made in China, received a very good market feedback. Plus reduce the cost of domestic, Tesla down to 30 million mark in recent days the price will be Model 3, which not only affect the traditional car prices of electric cars, more direct is a domestic public repairer the upper limit of the new forces to foreclosed.
and Wei to pricing EC6 believe will be almost the same with the ES6, ES6 and 350,000 started pricing, if there is no special preference for groups SUV, possible Tesla will choose to buy big. What’s more, this is an immature market coupe SUV.
In addition to these factors may bring a shadow on the prospects of EC6, more deadly message in 2020 came the first few days, Tesla announced the introduction of domestic Model Y, and it is precisely the Model Y is a coupe SUV. Sale price 444 000 after the start of the domestic Model Y is likely to fall below 400,000, which for Wei to break new car EC6 on which, I am afraid it is very bad news.
If you compare the Model Y and EC6 together, put aside other technology experiences aside, on the power, the motor has a double and a single power EC6 SportModel Y machine also did not have much difference compared to one hundred kilometers and a high-performance version of the Model Y EC6 strong acceleration Geng Shibi a lot.
and in addition to brand and configuration level, Wei to its repairer process problem still exists, high failure rate, multi-vehicle computer system vulnerabilities and other issues are still not get the perfect eliminate. China wants with the big boss Tesla electric car just positive, we will lose part of it on hard and soft power.
Written in the last:
Clearly, the brand across the turning moment, Wei to launch a coupe SUV want to surprise move, in addition to models weaknesses that may arise on location, also face more brutal Tesla into China competition. With the arrival of 2020, growing plump new energy markets, as well as changes in the new energy policy, leaving Wei to time more and more nervous, if Li Bin pointed EC6 Dafanshenzhang want, I am afraid that 2020 will be Li Bin and 2019 as difficult.
