New SUV added to the family Interpretation of SAIC-GM’s new car planning

  [XCAR New Car Review Original]

  With the release of the brand-new "2020 Strategy" on the eve of Shanghai Auto Show last year, SAIC-GM seems to have entered the fast lane and developed rapidly. In 2016, its three major brands Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac successively launched a number of heavyweight models including Chevrolet Mai Rui Bao XL, New Cruze, Buick New LaCrosse, New GL8 and Cadillac CT6 and XT5, and achieved good market results. Many models have gradually become the main force in various market segments. This is also reflected in the sales volume. In the first three quarters of this year, SAIC-GM ranked third among domestic passenger car companies in terms of sales volume, and compared with Beijing Hyundai, which ranked fourth, its advantages were very obvious. In today’s article, we will introduce the future new car planning of SAIC-GM’s three major brands in combination with the new car information we have. You may also wish to see which new models will be put into the domestic market next.

Chevrolet

  Chevrolet new generation Equinox

  Estimated time to market: the first quarter of 2017

  New car comments: As the second best-selling model under the Chevrolet brand, the new generation Equinox aims at the hot medium-sized SUV market in China. Keeping pace with the North American market and introducing it in a localized way further demonstrates the sincerity of manufacturers and the importance they attach to domestic consumers. At present, the Chevrolet brand in the domestic SUV market of about 200,000-level is slightly weak to be supported only by this model in copaci. With the new Equinox coming into the market in the first quarter of next year, it will not only enrich the existing product line, but also rely on its own good competitiveness and good reputation accumulated in the North American market.New generation EquinoxWill challenge competitors at the same level.

  Key points of new car:

  1. Debut at Guangzhou Auto Show, which is expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2017;

  2. The appearance has been changed from the simple and honest shape before, and the latest family design has been adopted to become younger;

  3. The design of the interior is almost the same as that of Mai Rui Bao XL, and the configuration is fully upgraded on the existing basis;

  4. Equipped with 1.5T/2.0T engines respectively, matched with 6-speed automatic and 9-speed automatic gearboxes.

  According to our understanding, Chevrolet’s new generation Equinox will officially meet with domestic consumers at the Guangzhou Auto Show, which will open on November 18th. At present, the new-generation Equinox trial car has been rolled off the assembly line at SAIC-GM Wuhan base, and it is expected that the new car will be put on sale in the first quarter of 2017.

Chevrolet brand new Equinox

  Chevrolet’s new generation Equinox has swept away its simple and honest appearance and become younger, more sporty and more energetic. The front face of the typical Chevrolet family, the tough headlights, and the stupid polygonal headlights have disappeared. What can be preserved is Equinox’s unique double-layer grille design. The tail is also a Chevrolet feature, and the more fashionable horizontal taillights replace the previous vertical taillights.

  The innovation of interior is obvious, and the new interior design is very similar to Chevrolet Mai Rui Bao XL.

At the same time, the new car will also provide front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems for consumers to choose from.

 

  Chevrolet new chuangkuo

  Estimated time to market: Guangzhou Auto Show

  New car comments: In recent years, a large number of small SUVs have sprung up, and small SUVs with monthly sales of over 10,000 vehicles are everywhere. However, it is a pity that Chevrolet Chuangkuo, which was put on the market in 2014, has been selling flat and not satisfactory. The upcoming new Chuangkuo has been greatly upgraded in terms of styling and configuration, which is more in line with the trend of youthfulness, which is also expected to attract the attention of more young consumers.

  Key points of new car:

  1. It is scheduled to be released on November 12th, and the Guangzhou Auto Show is expected to go on sale;

  2. Adopting the latest family front face style, the face value has been comprehensively improved;

  3. The overall shape of the center console has changed greatly, and the configuration has improved obviously;

  4. Continue to be equipped with 1.4T engine, matching 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

  Recently, it was learned from SAIC-GM that Chevrolet’s new Chuangkuo will be officially released at Guangzhou Changlong Chunlang Music Festival held on November 12th. The new cool value positioned in the small SUV has been comprehensively improved, and the front face has become more refined. It is expected that the price of the new car will be announced at the Guangzhou Auto Show, which opens on November 18th.

A cool

  Judging from the official map released a few days ago, the new domestic Chuangkuo is basically the same as the overseas version, and the new family design language makes it more refined. Thanks to the family-style three-dimensional double grille design, the visual center of gravity of the front of the car is obviously reduced, and the visual sense of the hood is prolonged, which looks much more coordinated than the cash.

  The tail of the new car also changes a lot. The newly designed double U-shaped LED taillights are applied to it, which is full of impact, and the wheel eyebrows are also much fuller than the current models, further enhancing the sense of power of the new car. With a new style of aluminum alloy wheels and an integrated roof rack, the new car has indeed improved its face value.

  Coming to the interior part, the new Chuangku takes "dynamic driving" as the design concept, and the overall shape of the center console has changed greatly. A lot of soft lines are incorporated into the black and brown double-color interior to outline the layered center console, and the air conditioning outlet shape and key layout have been optimized, and the visual effect is good. In terms of configuration, the new Chuangku will add practical configurations such as independent digital tire pressure monitoring, remote engine start, keyless entry and one-button start.

  In terms of power, Chevrolet’s new Chuangkuo will continue to be equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The transmission part is matched with the 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

  [Financial News]

  The U.S. economic expectations in 2024 have been greatly raised, and options trading highlights the concern of raising interest rates.

  Economists have lowered their forecasts for the US recession again, because they expect that a strong job market and strong consumer spending will support stronger economic growth in the short term. Bloomberg’s latest monthly survey of economists shows that the annual growth rate of the US economy is expected to reach 2.1% this year due to the growth of household demand and government expenditure, which is higher than the 1.5% expected last month. Respondents now expect that consumer spending (accounting for two-thirds of GDP) will increase by more than 0.5% each year in the next two years compared with last month’s forecast. Although forecasters generally expect that the American economy will lose some momentum after the major events in 2023, the still strong labor market and the fading inflation continue to support basically stable household demand. Given this continued resilience, respondents now expect the unemployment rate to peak at 4.1% later this year, lower than the 4.2% expected last month. They also predict that by 2026, American employers will add more jobs.
