Farewell seems to have become the theme of the current car generation, whether the target is the family flagship or the new rich, they can’t escape the "sphere of influence" of "electrification".
JAGUAR XJ, the flagship sedan of the JAGUAR brand, has been carrying the elegance, luxury and warmth of the proud flying leopard on the hood since its birth in 1968. But after four generations of changes, this "old man" with good muscles and bones has finally been unable to withstand the fierce attack from the battery pack. On June 5 this year, the Bromwich Fort production line ushered in the final chapter of fate.
Since the XJ rolled off the production line in June 2009, Jaguar has produced 120,000 units. At the age of 10, the X351 is the oldest modern car on the UK market. Jaguar made mid-term changes to the X351 in terms of interior and onboard systems in 2015.
In 2018, Jaguar launched the X351 50th Anniversary Special Edition. At the same time, it specially introduced the X351 long-wheelbase version – XJL – to the Chinese market that loves large spaces in the car: it uses a 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine and can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds.
Even if the XJ is the spiritual totem of Jaguar, it still can’t resist the daily decline in market interest in this flagship sedan. In December 2018, the X351 sold only 301 units, while the SUV model F-Pace sold 4,492 units, the entry-level sedan XE sold 2,252 units, and even the sports car F-Type sold 492 units.
Jaguar is determined to define the internal combustion engine version of the XJ as a brand-new flagship pure electric sedan in the replacement due to the insight that the internal combustion engine version is slow to sell. The news has not been confirmed by Jaguar, but a spokesperson has revealed that "the XJ model name will be retained".
In Jaguar’s values, the XJ rivals the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. After the pure electric blessing, the replaced XJ will directly compete with the Porsche Taycan.
In a sense, this may be Jaguar’s last chance to turn around. Consumers are gradually losing their enthusiasm for the ancient brand. Given that the XJ is Jaguar’s oldest model – released more than a decade ago, a bold electrification strategy while updating the model may help Jaguar establish its new image. At the same time, a partnership with Tesla (possibly) can also help Jaguar, which is already financially stretched, save the cost of laying out charging facilities.
This statement is not groundless. Although Jaguar’s financial report last year was not impressive, the performance of the I-Pace electric vehicle released in April last year was very encouraging.
Since the car went on sale at the end of April 2018, a total of 6,893 vehicles have been sold worldwide. The highest monthly sales volume in December reached 2,230, accounting for 13.8% of Jaguar’s car sales in that month. At the same time, from the sales chart, the sales of the I-Pace continued to rise from April to November, with only a certain decrease in August, but sales in the following September-November increased significantly. This performance has to be said to be in sharp contrast to the relatively poor performance of Jaguar last year.
The XJ has always been a distinct personality among luxury brands in the same class, but unfortunately, due to the relatively outdated style, the distinctive features of the past have gradually faded over time. Through the good market performance of the I-Pace, Jaguar may realize that a significant move towards electrification may be a good direction. What kind of performance of pure electric Jaguar sedans can really be expected by consumers.

Since the advent of the electrification era, many new luxury car brands have been born in China. NIO, Ideal, Extreme Krypton, Avita, and Looking Up are all relatively luxurious new energy vehicle brands. However, as traditional luxury brands, there are very few blockbuster models in the electric vehicle market.
Hongqi EH7 is officially listed, the official guide price is 22.98~ 309,800 yuan. The new car also launched a number of rights and interests, including zero voltage four lifetime service plan, including lifetime free warranty, lifetime free maintenance, lifetime free rescue, and lifetime free car pickup and delivery. There is also 0 pressure to buy a car, 50% down payment, zero interest for two years. Replacement subsidy up to 20,000 yuan, free home charging pile. There is also 0 pressure appearance, free 3-year insurance, worth 14,500 yuan. Free public charging and electricity, 1500 degrees per year, worth 5850 yuan. Free traffic 240G per year, free membership.
If users pay a deposit before May 31, they can also upgrade to 42,000 yuan for free. So it seems that the new car purchase policy of Hongqi EH7 is still very generous.
Hongqi EH7 is the first model of Hongqi’s "new energy sub-brand", based on the new FMEs "flag" super architecture. Hongqi EH7 is positioned as a medium and large sedan, and may launch a battery-changing version and a long-range fast-charging version in the future, with a maximum battery life of up to 800km.
From the appearance, the Hongqi EH7 adopts a completely different design style from the era of fuel vehicles, and the front face adopts the latest family-style design style of Hongqi new energy vehicles, which is somewhat similar to the minimalist design of new power companies. The headlights are designed in a 7-shaped shape, and the light group also has rich lamp language functions. The lower grille at the bumper shows a smiling style, and the central axis design on the front is very brand-specific.
The side design of the body is smooth, and some are similar to the style of a sedan. Two-color body design is adopted. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4980/1915/1490mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3000mm. From the size point of view, it is similar to the size of the car, and it is positioned as a pure electric C-class car. The whole body pursues the riding space as much as possible, and adopts the design of short front and rear overhangs and long wheelbase. The design of the tail window with a large inclination is a bit similar to the style of a sedan. A face recognition camera is also provided on the A pillar.
The most flamboyant part of the rear of the car is its "radiant" taillights. The internal structure is relatively complicated, and the lighting effect at night is estimated to be impressive. The overall design is also relatively simple.
In terms of interior, the new car pays more attention to the creation of materials and the color scheme in the car. The new car is equipped with a 6-inch + 15.5-inch curved dual screen, and it is also equipped with an AR HUD head-up display system. It has a Snapdragon 8155 chip, which is a bold attempt of the red flag. The design of the central control screen is very bold. It is not the current mainstream rounded rectangle, but a special-shaped screen, which is unique among models of the same level. And the steering wheel is also quite personalized, the size is not large, and it looks more like a gamepad. In addition, the vehicle seats are designed in one piece, and the interior color scheme is bold, showing a young and sporty atmosphere as a whole. I don’t know if young users will like this style.
In terms of power, the maximum power of the new motor is 202 kW/253 kW. The car will provide a power-changing version and a long-range fast-charging version. The power-changing version has a battery life of 600km, while the long-range fast-charging version can reach 800km.

As a product of Hongqi, EH7 can be said to have poured a lot of effort into Hongqi, but the market environment facing Hongqi is still very harsh, not only old competitors such as BYD Han and JK 001, but also JK 007, these new competitors. So the pressure of Hongqi EH7 will not be small, especially when the new energy vehicles are so rolled in 2024, the performance of Hongqi EH7 is worth looking forward to.
On April 12, the joint stock company of Dongfeng Automobile Group (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Automobile Group") announced that the company entered into an equity transfer agreement with PFN and Shenlong Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shenlong Automobile"). According to the equity transfer agreement, the company agreed to acquire, and PFN and Shenlong Automobile respectively agreed to transfer 25% and 50% of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroe ? n Automotive Finance Co., Ltd. Currently, Dongfeng Automobile Group, PFN and Shenlong Automobile hold 25%, 25% and 50% of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroe ? n Automotive Finance Co., Ltd. After the equity transfer is completed, Dongfeng Automobile Group will acquire 75% of the equity of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroe ? n Financial, and Dongfeng Peugeot Citroe ? n Financial will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Dongfeng Motor Group said it agreed to close the transaction in the second half of 2022, subject to approval from relevant antitrust authorities and banking and financial regulators.
According to the announcement, Dongfeng Peugeot Citroe ? n Financial is mainly engaged in providing automobile loans to dealers, providing automobile consumer credit and other related businesses to individuals and commercial customers. As of the date of the signing of the equity transfer agreement, Dongfeng Peugeot Citroe ? n Financial’s registered capital is RMB 1 billion, which has been fully funded by shareholders according to their respective shareholding ratios.
According to previous reports, Stellantis Group will adjust its business in China, and Shenlong Automobile will adopt the "two rooms and one hall" plan, in which "two rooms" refers to Dongfeng Peugeot will be led by the French side, and Dongfeng Citroen will be led by the Chinese side; "one hall" refers to the sharing of existing commodity planning, technology, quality, industrial production and other public areas. According to relevant reports, Stellantis Group and Dongfeng Automobile will negotiate the shareholding adjustment of Shenlong Automobile. The plan is that the foreign party will hold a 75% stake in Dongfeng Peugeot, and the Chinese party will hold a 75% stake in Dongfeng Citroen. The shareholding of Shenlong Automobile by both parties will remain unchanged at 50:50. However, as of press time, Shenlong’s plan of "two rooms and one living room" has not been announced, but Dongfeng Motor Group’s acquisition of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Financial Co., Ltd. cannot be ruled out as part of the plan.
According to the production and sales data released by Dongfeng Motor Group, the sales volume of Shenlong Automobile in March was 10,847 units, an increase of 44.51% compared with 7,506 units in the same period of 2021. The cumulative sales volume in the first quarter was 31,480 units, an increase of 79.49% compared with 17,539 units in the same period of 2021. According to the data of the Passenger Federation, the highest sales volume of Shenlong Automobile in March was Versailles C5X, with 4,700 units, followed by Peugeot 4008 and Peugeot 2008, with sales of 1,294 units and 1,264 units respectively, and other models sold less than 1,000 units. As far as the current situation is concerned, the sales source of Shenlong Automobile basically relies on Versailles C5X, which is the best-selling model of Shenlong Automobile, but the gap between products of the same level is quite a bit.
2022 is the 30th anniversary of the founding of Shenlong Automobile, and it is also a critical moment to determine its fate. Looking back at the history of Shenlong Automobile, there has been a well-known model like Fukang, which once sold 700,000 vehicles a year, making it an uncompromising first-line car brand. However, due to the aging of the product line and the untimely replacement, Shenlong Automobile fell by 15.2%, 36.85%, 32.89%, 55.17% and 55.74% respectively from 2016 to 2020. Sales have declined year-on-year for five consecutive years, and sales have halved for two consecutive years.
In October 2020, Shenlong Automobile released the "Yuan +" plan, starting the road of rejuvenation with the slogan of "more Chinese products, more accurate marketing, more reliable service, and more efficient operation". At present, initial results have been achieved, but there is still a long way to go from its goal. For the new year’s plan, Shenlong Automobile said that 170,000 vehicles will be reached in 2022, and 200,000 vehicles will be challenged. To achieve 200,000 vehicles, the profit will be stable in the future. We will not pursue 500,000 or 700,000 vehicles in the future, but stabilize at 300,000 or 400,000 vehicles. High-quality development, and keeping up with the products behind. From the perspective of the market outlook, the revival of Shenlong Automobile still depends on products, and according to the "Yuan +" plan, Shenlong Automobile will build and launch 14 new models within 5 years to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of the product matrix.
Shenlong Automobile insiders said that although Shenlong Automobile’s sales volume exceeded 100,000 units in 2021, it has not yet turned a profit. It can be said that Shenlong Automobile is still hovering on the line of life and death, at least 200,000 units must be reached to catch a breath. According to data, Shenlong Automobile has sold 31,480 units in the first quarter, and completed the sales target of 170,000 units by 18.5%. For Shenlong Automobile, it may be confident to complete the sales target of 170,000 units, but how to remain competitive in the market after that is still a question for Shenlong Automobile and shareholders of both parties to ponder.
