[car home Information] Is a 7-seat MPV a successful man? No, in the eyes of successful men, there must be a car that can drive by itself, and a 7-seat MPV is their second car. Life with at least two cars is perfect, and they can cope with various scenarios, whether it is business trip, self-driving trip, family trip or anniversary romance. This is a dream about a second car.

At present, when the era of smart cars comes, self-driving cars are getting closer and closer to us, but it seems that people gradually find that taxis, trucks and public areas are the first to be applied to self-driving cars. For the private sector, when autonomous driving comes, people may not want to confine themselves in a narrow space, because there is no need to sit in only one seat, which will be very boring.
A spacious and comfortable second space is particularly important. Therefore, in the eyes of successful men, an intelligent driving car should be an MPV, which will have more activity space and visual display area. Imagine that when the vehicle is driving automatically, you just need to lie flat on the luxurious "King Chair" in the back row, turn on the massage function and wear audio-visual equipment. Through VR and other technologies, you enter another world in a moving car, which is like Doraemon that you often watched when you were a child, and you cross into another virtual world through time tunnel, and you don’t have to stick to the narrow space. MPV can make you move more freely in the self-driving car. Perhaps in the future, MPV will be a mobile "RV", where all our private lives are hidden.

This is no longer a dream. More and more car companies are showing us this concept, and we can see some new ideas in 2022. However, before entering this ideal dream, we may have to face a bad realistic blow. That’s Money, yes! Your dream car may have to be sold at a higher price! When there are only a few ideal cars, the problem of fare increase is inevitable. This is the time for 4S friends to party! However, don’t worry, there are already a large number of dream MPVs on their way. Don’t think too much about those bad things, let’s lie flat together and start today’s dream of a successful man!
At the end of the year, car home Chewen team made great efforts to create a series of topics of "Dream+".The meaning of "+"is multi-dimensional. The "+"here is both "plus", "home" and "beauty". On the one hand, it shows everyone’s different ideals on the road of chasing dreams, and on the other hand, it shows what new products and new products these car brands will release in the new year. At present, the "Dream+"series topics have been launched in three phases, namely, 2022 New Car Outlook: The New Force of Car Making Dreams Down with BBA, 2022 New Car Outlook: BBA’s Dream of Luxury Electric, and 2022 New Car Outlook: Toyota/Honda/Nissan/Volkswagen.
● New Buick GL8
The production version will be launched in 2022.
Getting off the plane and getting on the Buick GL8 has become a standard action for many successful men to travel on official business. Although Buick GL8 has become a benchmark product of business MPV, it can completely lie flat. However, in the coming era of smart cars, without long-term vision, it may be eliminated by the times sooner or later. When the labels of autonomous driving, electric cars and smart cars come one after another, perhaps business MPV should become the vanguard of reform. In this way, for business people, working in the car and enjoying the mobile smart life will become a real need.

"Buick GL8 flagship concept car"
At the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2021, the debut of Buick GL8 flagship concept car showed us in advance what business MPV will look like in the next five years. This flagship MPV, developed by SAIC-GM Pan-Asia Automotive Technology Center, not only adapts to local conditions, but also inherits the oriental aesthetic culture. Most importantly, it shows what the car will look like in the era of smart cars.

This will also be an early preview of the new generation Buick GL8 released in 2022. Interestingly, compared with the current release of many concept cars, it is very close to production cars, and the sci-fi color of Buick GL8 flagship concept car makes us look forward to the new Buick GL8 to be released in 2022, which may lead the beginning of a new era.

Let’s take a look at the innovations of Buick GL8 flagship concept car. First of all, as we mentioned earlier, this car will satisfy the aesthetics of China consumers as much as possible, which will not only be more atmospheric, but also incorporate the flowing body dynamic line design, and will also be reflected in the flowing welcome light, and the futuristic feeling is a brand-new theme of this car.

The size of the motorized doors on both sides is large enough. When the front door and the side sliding door are all opened, you will find that this car actually has no B-pillar. In this way, it is self-evident how noble it will be to get on and off. The official panoramic cabin is another highlight of this car. Buick has always liked to use the word cabin to describe the spaciousness and comfort of their MPV. This time, this cabin has been visually extended. Because the front window and the roof, and the rear window and the roof are integrated, this feeling is more like looking up at image maximum in the planetarium, and the whole person’s vision has been extended, which will make people feel that the space inside the car has been extended wirelessly.


The whole center console is a simple idea, which can even be simplified to only one through screen, because the steering wheel can be put away. Perhaps this is an early interpretation of self-driving cars, or a completely relaxing theater mode that Buick wants to show. Maybe you have to ask, shouldn’t the future car be an eyeful screen? Why GL8 does the opposite. The reason is very simple, because the introduction of VR vision system, a brand-new immersive visual experience after wearing equipment, combined with voice control that can control all functions in the car, is there a feeling of sitting in the back row in a spaceship?


Of course, this sci-fi feeling needs real objects to set off, so well, this ergonomic "suspended" seat is the core of this spaceship. You will find that the floor of this car is almost flat, more like being in a room. Perhaps this is the benefit that electric cars bring us. At this time, the seat seems to need a brand-new display, and this innovative "suspended" design may be the brand-new concept that Buick wants to express for us.



The whole MPV is designed with four seats, and the seats in the back row are like the perfect combination of sofa and conceptual seats. It looks spacious and comfortable, and has a sense of the future. The central armrest between the two seats is called the "landscape tea table". At this moment, I have to sincerely say to SAIC-GM-Pan Asia: "Awesome old iron! The temperament of the big bosses in the East has been grasped by you! " Moreover, Buick also claimed that the seat frame was inlaid with straw, which was a non-genetic inheritance. At the moment, talking too much has disturbed this atmosphere. Look at the pictures and feel for yourself.
● Lantu dreamer
Listed in 2022
Ok, GL8′ s dream is enough for us to have a good sleep and have a good dream. But wake up! After all, it’s a concept car, so let’s turn our heads and look at another mass-produced MPV Lantu Dreamer. Listening to this name wants people to keep dreaming. Well, this is indeed the dream of Dongfeng Motor to achieve high-end brands. This dream may be a bit big, because referring to the price of the first model FREE of Lantu, 31.36-36.36 million yuan, the price of this dreamer will not be cheap. Well, young people can continue to dream, and middle-aged people can interpret dreams.

The price increase fever of mid-to-high-end MPV has not completely faded. Presumably, the huge market should also get a share, and the dreamer is aiming at this market. When I first saw the dreamer, it was very similar to the Mercedes-Benz V-class style, with a strong business atmosphere. The two-color car paint also made people think of Maibakh. Dreamer’s appearance doesn’t have much grandiose design. The words you can imagine are atmospheric, simple and practical. In order to meet the space demand as much as possible, many concessions have been made in design.

Such a heavy-looking car can accelerate from 0-100km/h for 5.9 seconds. Of course, this may come from an extended-range hybrid system. Pure electric vehicles will be front and rear dual motors and four-wheel drive. In terms of comfort, the dreamer also took some work clothes, and the configuration of air suspension and electromagnetic shock absorber will bring more comfortable riding experience.


MPV models, of course, the interior is still its top priority. Lantu brand, which is a bit of a new force to build a car, will definitely not give up the creation of the central control screen. The three screens will show the technological entertainment of this car and meet all the entertainment and office needs of the front passengers. The sizes of the three screens are basically the same, all of which are 12.3 inches.


Dreamers will launch seven-seat and four-seat models according to different prices. The seven-seat model will adopt a 2+2+3 seat layout, and two independent executive seats in the second row, including leg rests and small tables, will meet the daily business travel needs. The four-seat model will be equipped with two "Tianwang" seats, and the interior atmosphere will also be full, including the starry sky roof, atmosphere lights, car refrigerator, liftable millet TV and Dana stereo. The electric chair will have the functions of ventilation, heating and massage, and it will really be a massage chair with many modes to choose from.

Compared with the sci-fi color of GL8 flagship concept car, Lantu dreamer is pragmatic, and the real doer, luxurious and comfortable configuration are concentrated. Successful men don’t need those "cakes", pragmatism is true.
● GAC Chuanqi M81.8t.
Listed in 2022
Compared with the previous two models, some people may say that they may be too expensive and not grounded enough, so there is no more grounded mid-range MPV. Of course, and maybe the price will make you look forward to it more. Because Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi M8 will launch a 1.8T model next year, compared with the current 2.0T model, the pricing will be further lowered. How about that? Is there any expectation?

"Chuanqi M82.0t"
The current Chuanqi M8 models are all equipped with 2.0T engines, and the lowest starting price is 179,800 yuan. What will be the lowest starting price of 1.8T models? Take a bold guess, maybe it will be 159,800 yuan? An MPV with a car length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters can only be said to be really fragrant with such pricing! PS: The premise is that the 4S shop does not increase the price.

The highlight of Chuanqi M8 lies in its price advantage, with a "nanny car" style appearance, a large space layout of 2+2+3, and a rich selection of models, including four-seat and well-being models to choose from. Basically, Chuanqi M8 can give you any price configuration you want. The launch of the 1.8T model will further improve the cost performance of Chuanqi M8 and lower the threshold for car purchase.

Of course, the 1.8T model will also launch a variety of configuration models like the 2.0T model, including mid-to high-end master models, giving consumers a more comprehensive choice. In terms of appearance and interior design, according to the reference of the previous declaration drawing, it is expected to be exactly the same as the 2.0T model, that is to say, you will get what kind of products and different configurations, and the appearance and interior style will be different.



Chuanqi M8, even if it is a low-profile model, has a large number of soft packages in the interior, and its configuration is relatively rich, which is completely consistent with its positioning and pricing. There will be two independent seats in the second row. Although the low-profile model will be manually adjusted, it can be adjusted back and forth, and there will be handrails on both sides of the seat to ensure the comfort of business travel.
● WEY MPV
The Beijing Auto Show started in April 2022.
The popularity of the mid-to-high-end MPV market naturally requires the participation of China brands. WEY brand has planned to launch a high-end MPV in April 2022, and it is expected to be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in 2022. Because the secrecy is good enough, no pictures of WEY MPV have flowed out yet. Its appearance will be closer to the design of Toyota Erffa’s "nanny car", with a stronger sense of the future, and it will also be well reflected in the luxury of the car.


Car home once exposed the spy photos of a suspected brand-new flagship model of WEY in May this year. Although it was disguised with the shell of a WEY SUV model, the long wheelbase of the test vehicle seemed to reveal its identity. Judging from the wheelbase of the domestic mainstream MPV at about 3 meters, this car is likely to be the MPV test car that will be unveiled next year, and the size of this car will be quite spacious.

Although we can’t see anything from the spy photos, from the interior spy photos, even if it is not the MPV model we are looking for, we can probably look at the interior design trend of WEY’s next model. From the spy photos of the interior, the new model will pay more attention to the use of storage space, and there will be a huge storage space under the center console. The entire central control panel is designed with a large inclination angle, and the console corresponding to the transmission gear is almost integrated.

The size of the central control panel is not very large, but it looks very harmonious with the interior of the car. The all-LCD dashboard exists independently. Of course, it doesn’t look like the final makeup effect. Both the electronic gear handle and the operating knob look exquisite, and it is expected that the production car will have a good visual effect. The central armrest is wide, the seat looks wrapped well, and the driving experience in the front row should be good.

Perhaps, we can find some clues from the previous Intelligent Drive concept car at Munich Auto Show, which shows us WEY’s thinking about MPV in terms of design, functionality and technology.

In 2022, WEY brand will have nearly 9 products with listing conditions, including cars, MPVs and SUVs with more tough styles. The design of this concept car is very strange, which has different design ideas from mainstream models. The doors are split and the interior is designed in three rows. Interestingly, the most luxurious seat of this car is not the second row in the usual impression, but the third row, which is more like the back row design of our common four-seat MPV. The entire center console is designed with three screens running through it, and the steering wheel is like the steering handle of a future warship. It is expected that the new car will also add automatic assisted driving functions such as NOH high-speed pilot assisted driving.

Li Ruifeng, general manager of WEY brand, said when communicating with car home, "In the past, WEY brand was positioned as a leader of luxury SUV in China, but now it is a new generation of smart cars. This only adds intelligence to the luxury label, which does not mean giving up luxury. Nowadays, car companies are talking about intelligence, and WEY’s intelligence is characterized by’ temperature’. It is not a cold technical blessing, but a travel companion who knows you best. It is a full-dimensional intelligence composed of intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving and intelligent services. WEY brand calls it’ the integration of three intelligences’. "

How will this be reflected? Li Ruifeng gave us an example, "For example, when you approach the vehicle, the vehicle will automatically adjust the air conditioning temperature according to the outdoor temperature, without manual operation or voice wake-up; For example, if you get off work late, the vehicle will automatically start the seat massage function after you get on the bus; For example, if you navigate to a far place, the vehicle will automatically start the diagnosis, prompting the current state of the vehicle and whether it needs long-distance maintenance. Vehicles can find problems independently through remote diagnosis, and 4S stores can also actively communicate with users and provide services based on this information. "
We can look forward to the comprehensive innovation of WEY MPV in the field of intelligence. Of course, what is more worth looking forward to may be the name of this MPV, which may bring us a more peculiar product name like other products. What will it be called? You are welcome to use your imagination and tell us in the comments section.
● Extreme Krypton MPV
First launch in 2022
Not only WEY, but also Krypton, is aiming at the MPV market. The second model of Krypton is probably an MPV model. Previously, Krypton has made it clear that an MPV model will be launched in 2022. We also photographed the spy photos of the model suspected of extremely krypton MPV.

From the spy photos, this MPV has a very long body size and wheelbase, and its size is the same as that of the GL8. From the design of the side sliding door of the vehicle, it can be confirmed that this is an MPV model. The A-pillar of the new car has an independent triangular window design, which avoids the visual blind spot caused by the wide A-pillar. The new car also adopts a suspended roof design, which ensures the maximum seating space in the car. It is foreseeable that the large space will be a highlight of the extremely krypton MPV.

Along with the spy photos, there is also the interior of the new car, which has no disguise at all. From the spy photos of the interior, the interior of the new car is highly similar to that of the Krypton 001. Including an independent full LCD instrument panel and a square central control panel, the whole interior is still in a minimalist style and does not look gorgeous. However, we noticed that the angle of the central control panel is different from before, and it may be a brand-new design.

Earlier, Zhao Yuhui, vice president of Krypton Intelligent Technology, revealed in communication with car home that in the next three years, Krypton will launch six products and will challenge the target of 650,000 vehicles in 2025. At the same time, the future focus of Krypton will also be to serve and maintain its own users. "Geely Group has the empowerment in supply chain, manufacturing and R&D, and has a thorough user thinking in user operation. This comprehensive advantage is different from both traditional car companies and new power brands."

Extreme krypton will bring ZEEKR Care’s customer service, which is more intelligent, considerate, more efficient and comprehensive, and more respectful to users. It will serve through four aspects: quality control pre-inspection, full traceability, full transparency and intelligent diagnosis. In layman’s terms, through intelligent technology, the enterprise can remotely monitor the vehicle condition in real time, take the initiative to find vehicle problems and deal with hidden dangers in time. In the process of providing services, the maintenance progress and price standards can be transparent, visible and measurable. The extreme krypton brand will also set up a team called "extreme krypton orange", which can be called at any time when users encounter problems during driving and be on standby 24 hours a day.
● Tengshi MPV
First launch in 2022
There are MPV dreams and Tengshi. Although Tengshi has only two models for so many years, it does not mean that this brand will continue like this. On December 24th, BYD and Daimler jointly announced that they intend to increase their capital by 1 billion RMB respectively to their joint venture company Tengshi. After the equity adjustment, BYD and Daimler will hold 90% and 10% shares of Tengshi respectively.

After injecting new strength, BYD will devote more resources and core technologies to Tengshi business, help Tengshi to a new level in product research and development, intelligent manufacturing, channels and sales services, and work with Daimler to promote Tengshi brand to develop better and faster. Tengshi expects to launch three new models in China market in the next two years, including MPV and SUV. In the future, Tengshi will focus on the price range of 300,000-500,000 yuan, which means that the future price of Tengshi MPV will be locked in the price range of 300,000-500,000 yuan.

Unfortunately, there is no information about Tengshi MPV at present, and we can’t analyze the specific situation of this car, but referring to the price of this car, its size is bound to be at least the same as that of GL8. Imagine that the competition in this price range will be extremely fierce in the future.
● Dongfeng popular yacht
First launch in the first half of 2022
Yacht, a car that sounds like a successful person will own, Dongfeng Fengxing has given such a tall name to its brand-new MPV, and it is bound to hit the high-end market.


Dongfeng popular yacht is built on the brand-new "Super Cube EMA Architecture", and the new car will be officially unveiled in the first half of 2022. This car is built for the family MPV market, and it will have three labels: luxury, quality and vitality. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4850/1900/1715mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2900mm, which is consistent with the positioning of its family MPV.


Yacht has a high degree of originality, which makes you feel as if there has never been a car similar to a yacht. This uniqueness also creates a unique appearance of the yacht. The huge front grille is like the big mouth of a toothed whale, and the shape of the headlights is also very special. The body has a dynamic waistline and huge windows. However, because it is a family MPV, the size is not very large, so the new car does not adopt the design of sliding door, but adopts ordinary door, but we can be sure that it will be a 6-seat or 7-seat MPV. Compared with the personality of the front of the car, the design of the rear of the car is relatively mainstream, and the through taillight design is adopted.

The new car adopts a dual screen design with a full LCD instrument panel and a multimedia display screen, with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and an electronic gear shifting mechanism, which highlights the scientific and technological attributes of the interior.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine model 4A95TD produced by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi Automobile Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd., with a maximum power of 197 HP. It is reported that the new car will also be equipped with L2+ intelligent assisted driving technology.
● FAW Toyota MPV
Listed in the first quarter of 2022
After the listing of GAC Toyota Saina SIENNA, it was exposed to the list of new car fare increase. Even so, the sales of new cars are still hot. However, with the passage of time, the balance of supply and demand, consumers are gradually returning to rationality, which makes the price increase of Saina SIENNA gradually fall back.

American SIENNA Sports Edition

An online salesperson broke the news that the new car had not yet arrived in the store in October, and the store expected that by the end of the year, the scheduled quantity would exceed 100 units, so it ordered 45,000 decorations and was full of confidence. But the actual situation is that in October, the store only ordered 8 sets, in November, it was changed to add 28,000 decorations to order 11 sets, and in December, it was changed to add 14,000 cash to order 3 sets. Sales bluntly, consumers have become rational.

When FAW Toyota MPV is launched, this fare increase is likely to disappear. Because FAW Toyota MPV will be the "sister" model of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Saina SIENNA, similar to the relationship between Corolla and Lei Ling. The two cars will only have a slight difference in appearance, but there will not be much difference in positioning and configuration, because both models originated from overseas SIENNA models, but it is reported that FAW Toyota MPV will be the research and development of the American version of SIENNA sports model, rather than the ordinary version introduced by GAC Toyota.

The internal code name of FAW Toyota MPV is 018D. According to the name registered by FAW Toyota in the State Trademark Office, the Chinese name of the new car is likely to be Crown Weilu, and SIENNA will have a higher positioning, similar to the positioning between Crown Lu Fang and Highlander. It is expected that this car may be mass-produced and listed in the first quarter of 2022. At present, some 4S stores have begun to accept reservations.


FAW Toyota MPV can refer to GAC Toyota Saina in terms of model size, general configuration in the car, 2+2+3 seat layout and power system. We won’t say more here, and you can click on the relevant articles to review. "finally wait until it actually shoots GAC Toyota Saina SIENNA"
● Edit Comment:
Ok, wake up, our middle-aged dream of lying flat is over! Maybe you have to blame the author. The content described at the beginning of your article is not perfect. So many cars are still in the "PPT stage" and there is no beautiful official map for us to have a good dream. In fact, the author thinks that a dream that is not drawn is a good dream, and we will have more expectations, expecting that we can continue to have a good dream "tomorrow night". I have to say that the MPV market in 2022 is somewhat expected. After all, so many brands that have never set foot in the MPV market before will be launched.
Not only can we fantasize about how sci-fi MPV will be in the future, but we can also laugh when we wake up, because there are so many choices and we don’t have to face those bad fare increase behaviors anymore! Let MPVs roll up so that consumers can get more affordable products, isn’t it? Soon, the bell of 2022 will ring, let’s look forward to the arrival of 2022! (Text/car home Qin Chao)
