The domestic MPV market is far less popular than SUVs and sedans, and major car companies seem unwilling to invest in this market. Apart from the popular Buick GL8 and Toyota Elfa models, the presence of other products is very weak. However, with the introduction of domestically produced Toyota SIENNA and the successive efforts of Korean and domestic cars in the MPV market, coupled with the implementation of "three tires", high-end MPVs priced between 200000 and 300000 yuan may enter the era of "immortal fighting".

GAC Toyota Senna SIENNA

Even in the era of Buick GL8 dominance, the name of Toyota SIENNA (formerly translated as Senna, later confirmed as Senna in Chinese) still stood out like thunder. The previous generation of models was mainly sold domestically through parallel import channels. Although the after-sales service cannot compare with the legitimate 4S stores, it still cannot stop users from liking it. The figure of this divine car can even be seen on the roads to Tibet in major first tier cities.

After the Honda Odyssey/Elysen were reduced to cannon fodder, GAC Toyota Saina will take over and prepare to challenge the Buick GL8's dominance in the high-end business MPV market. From the perspective of brand value and product influence, Saina is undoubtedly not afraid of being a "challenger". The previous generation of parallel imported cars has already laid a solid mass foundation for localization.

From a hardware perspective, adopting the fourth generation Toyota THS hybrid system, which is the same as the Highlander dual engine, will undoubtedly be the core competitiveness of domestically produced Saina. Compared to the 2.0T+9AT GL8 (only front wheel drive), Saina can stably control fuel consumption at 5-6L/100km in congested urban environments for long periods of time. In addition, the NVH advantage of electric motor drive in low-speed conditions can be considered a "dimensionality reduction blow".

As for Toyota's e-Four electronic four-wheel drive system, this should be considered as an additional small surprise for users as a business MPV. If everything goes smoothly, the future Highlander, Saina, and Crown Land will likely launch plug-in hybrid versions with external charging ports and large capacity batteries (existing cases such as RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine). Being able to get a green license means further lowering the purchase threshold in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, which is also an advantage that GL8 does not have.

Dongfeng Yueda Kia Jiahua

Kia Jiahua has also appeared in the Chinese market, but the previous generation of models was undoubtedly a failure. It was an era of 3.3L gasoline engine and 2.2TL4 diesel engine. The large displacement V6 or diesel engine was severely acclimatized in the Chinese market. In addition, the high cost of vehicle import made its price completely inferior to the Korean car's identity. It was inevitable that it could not continue.

The new generation Jiahua, introduced by Dongfeng Yueda Kia and produced domestically, is about to start pre-sale at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 29th this year. The new car is based on the third-generation i-GMP platform, with an "expansion" of length, width, and height to 5155/1995/1795mm, and a wheelbase of 3090mm. It mainly features a 7-seat layout of 2+2+3. The second row is equipped with independent seats with multi-directional electric adjustment, which is the basic operation. The third row seats also support 4/6 sunken folding, Space optimization can also be considered as directly filling up.

The upgraded Jiahua not only supports the fashionable features of the new era MPV, such as electronic gear lever, electric side sliding doors, front and rear double sunroof, L2 level assisted driving, but also adjusts its power system to meet the unique needs of the domestic market. We are already familiar with the Smartstream series 2.0T inline four cylinder engine from modern Kia, with a maximum power of 233 horsepower and a Paivotai transverse 8AT transmission, which is also the most sought after "hard goods" for Korean cars in the Chinese market.

Beijing Hyundai Kusitu

The so-called 'brothers in battle, father and son soldiers in battle', Kia Neng introduced Jiahua based on the i-GMP platform, and Hyundai's launch of the 'sister version' has become a natural trend. Currently, Beijing Hyundai has also had a real car on this Cousteau, which is expected to meet consumers in September. Modular car manufacturing, just change the shell and share the development costs equally. Why not.

From a design perspective, this Cousteau maintains a high level of horizontal commonality with the Tucson L. The family style front grille and LED headlights are thoroughly integrated, and the black scale shaped grille filling makes the front face look more aggressive, which is also in line with the taste of young people today. However, in terms of size, the length and wheelbase have shrunk to 4950mm and 3050mm respectively. If the price does not have an advantage compared to Jiahua, it may be "killed" by our compatriots.

Sitting in the car, Cousteau did not copy the "dual screen" central control layout of the Jiahua. The 10.4-inch central control screen is the same vertical design as the Mercedes Benz C-Class or TSLAModel 3. Although both are electronic gear shifting mechanisms, the Kia Jiahua has a knob design, while the modern Cousteau has a button type. It is obvious that Hyundai and Kia have indeed put a lot of effort into preventing "cannibalism".

BYD Song MAXDM-i/Xia

Lithium iron phosphate blade batteries and DM-i super hybrid are currently BYD's core competitiveness, and after sedans (Qin PLUSDM-i) and SUVs (Tang DM-i), this "trump card" will also be armed to the brand's MPV models. The first to bear the brunt is Song MAX, a former internet celebrity in the domestic household MPV field.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Song MAXDM i version has appeared multiple times in the "Road Motor Vehicle Production Company and Product Announcement" for new product announcements. There is no technical threshold for installation, production, and release, and the only thing that troubles the official is the production of battery packs and hybrid modules. Optimistic point estimation, including Song MAXDM - i, Song PROM - i and Han DM - i, the follow-up models of these super hybrid vehicles are expected to be launched in succession in the next year. Among them, the Song MAXDM i is expected to control the price between 150000 and 180000 yuan, coupled with stable power and fuel consumption within 5L/100km, which is a blow to the maintenance of many domestic household MPVs or high-end MPVs.

In addition, there is another piece of news worth watching. Recently, a suspected BYD Xia patent map has been circulating online, with three technical parameters below: fuel consumption of 4.0L/100km, pure electric range of 200km, 0-100km/h4.9s. At present, neither the official nor the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have publicly disclosed information, so we can only "watch and have fun".

This car already has a hint of Toyota Elfa in its design, and its positioning will naturally be significantly higher than the Song MAX. However, based on the 4.9 second "over 100" data, it is clearly not possible to use the DM-i hybrid system, and it is more likely to be the DM-power hybrid system. Of course, it is not ruled out that BYD will incorporate a P4 bridge on top of the fully equipped DM-i to achieve stronger acceleration performance.
