"I don't know if you believe it or not, but I am actually more optimistic about the future SUV market, especially high-end luxury SUV models. In China, where the automobile market is developing rapidly, this type of model will be particularly popular, especially as more and more luxury SUVs

Money people. They like big cars like this. I come from China, so I know the market better than you. Although the Chinese government has built infrastructure over the years,

A lot of money has been invested in infrastructure construction, but the transportation facilities in many places are still not very complete. In addition, the logistics industry has become more and more developed in recent years, resulting in many large trucks crushing the newly paved roads. Therefore,

Those rich people don't like their butts to suffer. In this case, large SUVs with high passability will become more and more popular in that market."

After Jin Xiaoqiang withdrew his thoughts from Land Rover and Mazda, he explained to Mark and Nick with a smile, because according to the understanding of these two people, besides the United States, in other parts of the world, especially in developed and wealthy countries like Western Europe,

In various regions, SUV models have become increasingly unpopular.

The reason is also very simple. In fact, after simple calculations, people found that even if they own a household hatchback, it is difficult to fill it with people. Most of the time, people who own cars will choose to go alone or in pairs.

People travel by car, which is actually a waste of space in the car.

The paved roads in Europe are in very good condition, so generally there is no need for off-road vehicles with high passability, and even if people need to travel as a family, MPV models or station wagons can better meet people's travel needs, so

It is actually a waste to buy a large SUV that is large in size and has high fuel consumption.

But they didn't understand the market in Tianchao, but wherever Jin Xiaoqiang came from, he knew the pavement conditions there.

Although the government has been increasing investment in infrastructure construction in recent years, especially in road construction, the investment is not small. However, on the one hand, there are many corners-cutting during road construction, and on the other hand, because

There are also many overloaded trucks running on the road, so many newly built roads will be filled with ravines within a short time.

The newly rising wealthy people will never drive a car on such a road. Firstly, such a road is difficult and unsafe to drive. Secondly, driving a car on such a bad road will seriously affect the driving comfort.

.

Therefore, when wealthy people in China buy large luxury SUVs, they are not just thinking about face. Face is indeed very important, but sometimes such SUVs are indeed very practical.

Therefore, in the future Chinese market, SUV models, whether they are luxury high-end products or low-priced civilian products, will be very popular among consumers.

Therefore, in this era when the market is becoming more and more segmented, Jin Xiaoqiang has to make some preparations in advance, especially for an internationally renowned brand like Land Rover. He not only has a lot of fans in China, but also around the world.

It also has a lot of fans.

After hearing Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation, Mark and Nick also felt a lot relieved. After all, this statement made sense.

It is true that the Chinese market has grown significantly in recent years. Unfortunately, Americans have reacted relatively late. Ford’s market share in the Chinese market has not been high due to its older models and technology investment.

Although GM is better than Ford in this regard, because it did not pay attention to details in the past and because American cars have high fuel consumption, although the price is very low, in the past two years, it has been under competition from German, Japanese and Huayang Power. , has lost a lot of market share.

In addition, GM and Ford have been unable to protect themselves in the past two years, so they have neglected to conduct detailed investigations into the Chinese market. Therefore, they really do not understand the development of the Chinese market very well.

So in Nick's villa, Jin Xiaoqiang gave Nick and Mark a rough introduction to the development of China's automobile industry and the current division of China's automobile market.

Although it was just a rough introduction, it took more than two hours. When he finished speaking, he realized that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, so Jin Xiaoqiang hurriedly apologized to the two of them.

Fortunately, these two people are also professionals in the automobile industry. They listened with interest when Jin Xiaoqiang explained the market in Tianchao. After all, they will all go to work at Huayang Power in the future. Therefore, both of them were very happy to be able to listen to their future boss's instructions face-to-face and did not feel irritated.

Mark said goodbye to Jin Xiaoqiang and Nick and went home directly, while Jin Xiaoqiang stayed at Nick's villa for another night. After all, it was not the first time for him to come to Nick's house, so he was relatively familiar with it.

However, Jin Xiaoqiang was so excited about the exchange he had just had with Nick and Mark that night that he was not in a hurry to fall asleep. He lay on the bed, took his notebook over, and began to communicate with domestic engineers.

His questions mainly focused on the models that are currently being tested on the road and will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year.

The main models of Huayang Power this year are those three sports cars. As long as these three sports cars are launched on the market, Huayang Power will have completed a very complete leap. They will become from family cars, to SUVs, to A large factory that can manufacture all super sports cars.

Secondly, these three sports cars are actually a demonstration of Huayang Power's manufacturing capabilities.

You must know that building a sports car is different from building an ordinary family car. Manufacturing such a car often requires a very high technical content. Only companies that are capable of manufacturing such models can truly be called world-class automobile manufacturers.

This is why, over the years, even though South Korea's Hyundai models are quite popular around the world, and they have been able to squeeze into the top ten of the world's car companies, when it comes to real big manufacturers, they are scorned by consumers. reason.

Even in the minds of many people, despite the fact that South Korea's Hyundai has bought a lot of cars, their status in the eyes of people who know cars is not even as high as that of the relatively low-key Japanese Mitsubishi and Fuji Heavy Industries.

Because both manufacturers can produce a series of supercars with outstanding performance, but Hyundai, South Korea, has not even figured out their Coolpad even now.

Although these three supercars this year are the main models of Huayang Power, Huayang Power has not invested at all in other models.

For example, the sedan developed based on Ford's 2013 Mondeo has been defined as a high-end luxury sedan product.

Jin Xiaoqiang has named this product the Skyline series product!

Although they currently have the Qoros series of products, and the Qoros series of products are indeed good in specifications and have high technical content, compared with the truly high-end Mercedes-Benz and BMW, this product series is also their entry-level and mid-range products.

level of low-end products.

There is still some gap between Mercedes-Benz and BMW's 7 Series!

So in order to make up for the gap in this truly top-level business sedan, Jin Xiaoqiang decided to launch this model he named Skyline Light.

This car is based on the 2013 Mondeo, but this car has completely subverted people's previous concepts of the Ford Mondeo, because just by looking at its appearance, this car can easily remind people of the famous Aston Martin.

.

In fact, a considerable part of the designers of this car did come from the original Aston Martin design team.

Therefore, the appearance of this car alone will easily remind people of luxury. These two words!

Another thing that is most reassuring is that this car is actually very similar in appearance to the new Aston Martin launched after 2008, but the current Aston Martin is still in discontinued production!

So Jin Xiaoqiang doesn’t have to worry about being accused of plagiarism.

In today's market, to define whether a car is a good car, it first depends on whether it has a beautiful appearance?

This concept has been brought to the current world by Jin Xiaoqiang and has been brought to the extreme. Therefore, designers from other car companies in the world are currently influenced by Jin Xiaoqiang and are following this trend.

Therefore, the appearance of this car alone is enough to attract attention.

And the other most critical point is that for a luxury car, you must have a powertrain worthy of your wealth. For now, this car’s competitors on the market, such as Mercedes-Benz or BMW

The Seven Series, as well as Audi's A8 and other level models, are generally equipped with V8 or V10 engines of 4.5L or above.

On this Skyline Light, Jin Xiaoqiang has planned to install the 5.0L V8 engine he copied from Ford's 2013 Mustang Bushmaster.

This engine does not even need to be equipped with a turbine or a supercharger, and it can already sweep all large-displacement engines currently on the market.

Whether it is BMW's V8 or Audi's W12, the current data of these engines are just dregs compared to the data of this engine.

What's more, this naked machine with nothing installed is just the equipment for the entry-level model of the Skyline Light series. If you want to buy a more advanced Skyline Light product, hey, then TVS's supercharger.

But it was already prepared.

Soon you will see the emergence of the tfsi system that Audi is proud of in later generations, but this time the engine equipped with this system will have a higher displacement...

So regardless of the few supercars this year that are the key development targets of Huayang Power, in Jin Xiaoqiang’s heart, the more important product is this Skyline Light product, because only it can be displayed in the high-end market.

The quality of Huayang Power!
