Different from the hustle and bustle of the Beijing Auto Show at the beginning of the year, without the traffic blessing of Lei Jun, Zhou Hongyi and other executives inside and outside the industry, the hot spots at the 2024 Chengdu Auto Show will always be a little scarce.
However, in the environment of increasingly fierce market competition, car companies still have not given up the pursuit of the Chengdu Auto Show, as one of the four major A-class auto exhibitions in China, the influence and market importance of the Chengdu Auto Show are still self-evident.
According to official data, this year's Chengdu Auto Show covers an area of 200,000 square meters, attracting 129 brands and a total of 1,600 models. Although the number of new cars is not as good as in the past, many car companies have joined the marketing war of the auto show in the form of a "group army".
Among them, BYD's exclusive Hall 9 is huge, and BYD's Passenger Car Dynasty Series, Ocean Series, Yangwang, Equation Leopard, and Denza all brands have all appeared, which not only breaks the hidden worries of many car companies in sharing the traffic of the exhibition hall, but also provides a foundation for the drainage of their own potential users.
In contrast, other representatives of domestic auto brands have also made a group appearance, Chery Group gathered its Chery, Xingtu, iCAR, and Jietu to land strongly, and Great Wall also participated in the exhibition with the five major brands of Great Wall Artillery, Haval, Ora, Tank, and Wei brand.
In addition to bringing traffic to the car companies themselves, consumers can also find target products more directly and quickly. In this article, the observer network will take stock of the "dry goods" of each exhibition hall.
Hall 1: The Great Wall "joins" with Xiaomi
Since this year's Beijing Auto Show, Wei Jianjun, chairman of Great Wall Motors, has a high-frequency interaction with Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi. However, since Xiaomi has not released a new product this time, the traffic focus of Hall 1 is still on the Great Wall booth.
At the Haval booth, the second-generation Haval H9 officially opened pre-sale, with a pre-sale price range of 205,900-235,900 yuan. As the flagship product of the Haval brand, the Haval H9 has always been the culmination of the Haval brand's off-road technology and product experience.

Hall 2: SAIC and Deep Blue steal the limelight
Since Geely did not participate in the group this time, and the Galaxy brand did not release new cars, the highlight of Hall 2 also fell into the hands of the new Deep Blue Automobile, which had just launched the new Deep Blue Automobile, and the SAIC Group, which participated in the exhibition.
In terms of fuel vehicles, SAIC Volkswagen's Passat PRO made its debut at the auto show, and the new car has an increase of 58mm in body length compared with the current Passat, and the wheelbase remains unchanged; Another new car, Tuyue Xinrui, uses a starting price of 79,900 yuan to show SAIC Volkswagen's adherence to fuel models.
The MG brand, which has been praised by users as "experts in Europe" due to EU sanctions, also launched a new fuel vehicle - a new generation MG5 at the auto show.
The new model is equipped with SAIC Motor's Blue Core MEGA Tech 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 133kW and a maximum torque of 285Nm·m. The 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission has an efficiency of up to 97% and accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.

At the same time, the vehicle will continue to be available in two power modes: pure electric and extended range.
Hall 3: Each fights for itself, and the hybrid takes the lead
There are many brands in Hall 3, but the only one that can be called a group exhibitor is The Durant Guild, an integrated imported car brand owned by GM.
From the perspective of new cars, Hongqi and GAC Trumpchi have brought their own new hybrid products.
Among them, Hongqi launched a compact plug-in hybrid SUV - Hongqi HS3 PHEV, the new car adopts 1.5T plug-in hybrid power in the power system, of which the gasoline engine has a maximum power of 124kW, equipped with CATL batteries, pure electric range of 115km, comprehensive range of 1100km.

Trumpchi has launched a number of new products, including the M8 Master Super Hybrid, M8 Grandmaster Pioneer Edition, E9 Grandmaster, etc., to show its understanding in the new energy MPV track.
Hall 4: Hongmeng Zhixing "Hard" Mercedes-Benz
At this year's Chengdu Auto Show, the Hongmeng Zhixing booth set up by Huawei's smart car camp not only did not lose to Mercedes-Benz on the other side in terms of booth scale, but also had the blessing of many new cars, thus forming a "face-to-face" traffic competition with Mercedes-Benz.
At this auto show, Hongmeng Zhixing brought the new M7 Pro that was just released at the end of August, as well as the first pure electric coupe SUV model Zhijie R7 under the Zhijie brand, and the Xiangjie S9, which just joined this year, also appeared again at the auto show.
Mercedes-Benz chose to compete with the GLC plug-in hybrid version and the C 350 e L plug-in hybrid sports sedan, but the design of the two models is still roughly the same as the gasoline version, which shows that Mercedes-Benz does not expect to press heavily on the Chengdu Auto Show, but more to show its hybrid strategic direction to the outside world.
Hall 5: Chery monopolizes "half of the country"
After the Japanese and French brands gradually lost ground in the market, Peugeot Citroen, Toyota and other brands in the auto show eye-catching ability is not as good as before, although there is only one independent car company in Hall 5, but Chery's five major brands to build a joint booth, but occupy half of the country. In terms of new car products, Chery also has a variety of models unveiled.
At this year's auto show, Chery brought a total of two new models, the all-new Tiggo 8 PLUS and Fengyun E05, and demonstrated its product strategy in "gasoline-electric synergy".
Among them, the pre-sale price of Tiggo 8 PLUS is 119,900-149,900 yuan, and the new car has been optimized and upgraded in design with a younger and more individualized design.

In terms of driving assistance and safety, Fengyun E05 will also be equipped with assisted driving functions covering cities and highways.
Hall 6: Ford becomes the savior of the joint venture
Although FAW-Volkswagen sits in Hall 6, no new cars have been released, which also makes the traffic of this pavilion, which is mostly stacked with joint venture brands, worrying. Although Dongfeng Honda and Pop Mart have joined hands to create the pavilion and expect cross-border marketing, the presence of its electrified models cannot support the entire pavilion. Under this premise, Ford, which brought a variety of new cars to the show, has become the traffic savior of Hall 6.
In terms of new vehicles, Ford mainly started with the popular "outdoor recreation" in the current market, and launched new products such as the new Ford Explorer and the all-new Ford Spirit.
Among them, the all-new Ford Explorer was born on the longitudinal rear-wheel drive SUV platform, and the whole series is upgraded with a 2.3T EcoBoost engine and an optimized 10AT transmission, which has significantly improved power output compared with the previous generation model, while improving the smoothness of shifting and fuel economy.

In addition, the Ford Ranger and the Ford F-150 Raptor, a super-performance off-road pickup truck, were showcased to build a family product matrix for outdoor travel.
Hall 9: BYD's "Exclusive Respect"
Compared with other brands in the major exhibition halls, BYD is undoubtedly the C position of this auto show, in the middle of the 9th hall, BYD's Dynasty, Ocean, Denza, Yangwang, Formula Leopard and other brands are all unveiled with their main models. Not only in the exhibition hall, BYD also set up a number of brand technology experience areas in the middle of the outfield, so that users can experience BYD's latest technology more intuitively.
From the perspective of models, the debut of the new MPV of Dynasty Network is undoubtedly the top priority of the BYD brand.
Judging from the naming, the new MPV "Xia" will create the sixth largest IP after the Han, Tang, Qin, Song, and Yuan dynasties. The new car is positioned as a mid-to-large flagship MPV, adopting the Dragon Face 3.0 design language, with a total size of 5145/1970/1805mm and a wheelbase of 3045mm.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T longitudinal high-power engine + front and rear dual-motor power system, according to the previously disclosed interior information, the new car will also become the only new energy hard model with a three-row 6/7-seat design.
Hall 10: New car brawl
As a gathering place for new energy brands, Hall 10 gathers many new EV brands, among which brands such as Zeekr, AVATAR, and VOYAH have undoubtedly become the focus of attention.
As the first mid-size SUV of the ZEEKR brand, the ZEEKR 7X is priced at 239,900 yuan. The new car has a length of 4,825 mm and a long wheelbase of 2,925 mm, and the layout of the short front overhang maximizes the interior space.

In terms of intelligent technology, AVATR 07 is equipped with Huawei's Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 system, equipped with 192-line LiDAR and 27 high-perception sensors.
Hall 11: Pure Electric Intelligent Competition
Hall 11 is not a competition for the first new car, but the competition between Xpeng, Aion, and Jiyue in the field of intelligent driving is particularly eye-catching. Coupled with the Anhui Volkswagen brand, which debuted at the auto show, the pavilion has no shortage of highlights.
The heaviest new car released at the pavilion is the Aion Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is equipped with lidar at 150,000 yuan and claims to have the strongest intelligent driving ability in its class.
Before the start of the exhibition, Xpeng launched the first model of the sub-brand MONA, the MONA 03, which pulled the threshold of high-end intelligent driving to 120,000 yuan and received a lot of attention.
Jiyue, which is next door to Xiaopeng, previewed the launch of Jiyue 07 before the exhibition, and claimed that it is the only pure visual high-end intelligent driving player in the country.
Unlike the three car companies that "fight" intelligently, "Anhui Volkswagen", which is also a new brand, is relatively low-key.
At this year's auto show, Anhui Volkswagen set up a booth for the first time and brought the first new car ID. Drive full-journey intelligent driving system.
However, Anhui Volkswagen has not yet started large-scale product marketing, but focuses on the creation of booths and brand image building. Anhui Volkswagen expects to use more than 20 suspended LED screens to overlap and arrange on top of each other, and the golden sand particles flowing on the screens convey the category proposition of "turning gold into gold", so as to show its brand experience of pursuing lifestyle and focusing on digital travel experience.
Hall 14: The Battle of Traditional Luxury
There is no ideal of a new car to be launched, and Hall 14, where traditional luxury brands are gathered, is in a class of its own. However, the big traffic of the exhibition hall is still the BMW brand.
As an important product of the BMW brand in the Chinese market, the BMW X3L has a 110mm longer wheelbase than the standard wheelbase version, reaching 2975mm, which is the same length as the BMW X5 standard wheelbase version, significantly improving the interior space.
The design of the new car adopts a larger kidney grille, and the interior is embellished with chrome elements of vertical bar + diagonal, and the interior adheres to BMW's concept of "explaining complexity with simplicity" and "driver-centric", equipped with a large-size dual screen, which enhances the sense of luxury and technology in the interior.
In terms of power, the BMW X3L 30Li model will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 211kW, which is a significant increase from the 2023 model on sale.
It is also worth mentioning the launch of the new Lincoln Aviator in the same museum, with a price of 509,900-700,800 yuan.
The all-new Lincoln Aviator adopts the Quiet Flight 2.0 design language, with three rows of six spacious spaces, three rows of seven seats, three rows of six seats with aisles, and three rows of six seats with central storage compartments.

Hall 15: There are not many new cars, and the emphasis is on Lynk & Co
Although Audi is in Hall 15 of this year's Chengdu Auto Show, compared with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi is obviously slightly inferior in drainage, and only the Q6 e-tron that has been unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show seems to be difficult to compete with other pavilions .
However, Lynk & Co in the same hall still continued the "flower work" in the booth layout, and brought the new car Z10 that has just opened pre-orders in the middle of the opening month, and with the new car about to be officially launched in early September, Lynk & Co will undoubtedly become the most noteworthy brand in the same hall.
Hall 16: Porsche "Electrocution"
The luxury car hall of each auto show is full of ultra-luxury brands, including Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Bentley, Lotus and other ultra-luxury brands gather here. But in terms of pushing the new rhythm, Porsche is undoubtedly the most "diligent" among them.
At this year's auto show, the Porsche Macan EV long-range version was officially launched, priced at 598,000 yuan.
Although the new car further lowers the entry threshold for Porsche's pure electric models, it still inherits the classic Porsche sports car style design, using split headlights, a racing-style flat fully enclosed floor and aerodynamic optimization in the side air intake curtains, active air intake blades, the elimination of the top spoiler, front lip, doors and other parts.
To ensure the car's sporty performance, the Macan EV Long Range is equipped with Porsche Active Suspension, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with dual-valve damping technology, a wider body, front and rear mixed tire widths, a dual-stage adaptive rear spoiler, and rear-axle steering with a maximum of plus or minus 5 degrees.
