These SUVs cover a variety of uses and scenarios, ranging from hard-core off-road products with high cost performance to high-tech products that go further in the intelligent cockpit/intelligent driving level. The supply of market segments can be described as quite sufficient. Since 2024, this trend seems to have no obvious signs of slowing down, and it still shows a very active state. So what are the new heavyweight SUV cars that deserve attention this year? I’ll help you sort it out today.
A new SUV will be launched in 2024. ※
(1) Geely Haoyue PRO
Although the heavyweight is average, PRO should indeed be regarded as the first brand-new model listed in the SUV market segment since 2024. Geely Haoyue PRO is positioned in a compact SUV. It was officially launched online last Thursday (January 11, 2024), with two configurations, and the official guide price range is 86,900-89,900 yuan. After the listing of Haoyue PRO, it will be matched with the formation of positioning medium-sized SUV to jointly enhance the market competitiveness of Geely Haoyue family.
Haoyue PRO has adopted a brand-new design style, and the overall look is very relaxed. In terms of details, the oversized surf dot matrix front grille has 128 hot stamping stars, which looks exquisite and fashionable with borderless hooks on both sides. The combination of storm eye LED headlights and penetrating chrome trim strips, coupled with the design of diversion grooves on both sides of the front of the car, makes the whole front face full of sports atmosphere.
The side lines of the car body are tough, and the waistline design is strong and powerful, creating a good sense of muscle. The 18-inch rim adopts fan blade modeling and two-color design, which makes the whole car more sporty. In contrast, the shape of the vehicle tail is more convergent, and the through taillights and the classic "back" taillights create a mature and stable visual effect. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Geely Haoyue PRO are 4518/1834/1715mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2666mm.

There are obvious square bulges on both sides of the front cover, which highlights the so-called masculinity. The headlights on both sides are completely horizontal with the upper section of the grille, which is a straight line. The simple use of lines makes GX look unpretentious and aggressive, which is in line with the image of hard-core off-road ability. The barb and tearful eye shape of headlights are also familiar, with narrow and long shape and fine internal structure, which is an important factor to highlight the sense of luxury.

The line of the window and the shape of the wheel arch can also be drawn as an equal sign. The enlarged window can better ensure the vision of the occupants in the car, and it is also a necessary feature of a real off-road vehicle. In addition, the new generation Lexus GX also uses blackening treatment on the roof, and the collision with the sand color of the car body looks more advanced.

On the side of the car body, Fengyun T6 adopts B/C/D columns with concealed design to create the visual effect of suspended roof. The vehicle adopts a hidden door handle, which makes the car side shape more concise. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Fengyun T6 are 4501, 4540/1865/1670mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2672 mm.. The rear part adopts a penetrating taillight design with full sense of technology.

(19) Chery Fengyun T9
It is not difficult to see from the appearance modeling that Fengyun T9, on the premise of inheriting the overall modeling of Tiggo 9, canceled the design of the net on the front face and changed it to a closed design. At the same time, chrome-plated decorative parts are used to outline the front face with a more scientific and technological sense.
It is particularly noteworthy that Fengyun T9, whose first car rolled off the assembly line, is obviously different from Fengyun T9, which was unveiled in October 2023, in many design details. In particular, the chrome-plated decorative lines inside the closed front face have changed from the short decorative lines on both sides of the front appearance to the long/short lines in the vertical layout.
On the side of the car body, Fengyun T9 is basically the same as the overall design of Tiggo 9, and also adopts the door handle with hidden design and large-size multi-spoke rim, but the design style of the rim has been changed to straight spoke, which is obviously different from Tiggo 9.
In addition, Fengyun T9 not only retains the design of the suspended roof of Tiggo 9, but also adds diamond-shaped decorative elements to the D-pillar of the vehicle. In terms of body size, Fengyun T9′ s body length, width and height are 4795mm/1930mm/1738mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2770mm.
At the rear of the vehicle, Fengyun T9 basically retains the contour modeling of Tiggo 9 and the design of penetrating taillights, but the English logo of Chery is no longer used for the tailgate of the vehicle, but is replaced by the English logo "FULWIN" of Fengyun sequence.
However, the whole tail of Fengyun T9 looks very exquisite, especially the penetrating taillight group not only stretches the overall visual width of the tail, but also continues the internal light source structure of Tiggo 9 taillight group. In addition, the rear enclosure of Fengyun T9 is obviously different from that of Tiggo 9 in design, the exhaust port has been completely hidden, and the whole rear enclosure has been redesigned, which has a stronger recognition.
It is worth noting that Fengyun T9 does not continue the integrated dual screen design of Tiggo 9 in the interior part, but adopts a suspended 10-inch full LCD instrument screen and a 15.6-inch 2.5K central control screen which are independent of each other, and is equipped with HUD HD head-up display function. In addition, Fengyun T9 is expected to be roughly the same as Tiggo 9 in terms of hardware configuration, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and 5G Gigabit Ethernet, which has strong performance. At the same time, Fengyun T9 also supports AI big model intelligent voice assistant and 14 speakers+headrest audio.
In addition, in the aspect of interior color matching, Fengyun T9 adopts a blue/white double-spelling scheme that can better reflect the identity of the new energy vehicle, and the car also uses a large area of wood grain decoration. In addition, Fengyun T9 is also very different from Tiggo 9 in the design layout of the central control island platform. Not only does the air outlet of the air conditioner no longer adopt the rectangular and zigzag design of the interior of the Tiggo 9 car, but also the physical buttons or knobs are used for the control of the air conditioning system and the switching of driving modes.
As for power equipment, Fengyun T9 will be equipped with Chery Kunpeng Super C-DM hybrid system, and has a full-scene intelligent four-wheel drive system. Among them, the fifth generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI hybrid engine has a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 220Nm；; The maximum power of 1DHT motor is 150kW, the maximum power of 3 HT motor is 165kW, the maximum torque is 310Nm and 390Nm respectively, and the pure electric cruising range of WLTC is 100km and 160km respectively.
In addition, in terms of transmission system, Fengyun T9 adopts stepless super electric hybrid DHT and three-speed super electric hybrid DHT gearbox. The acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 4.26s, the comprehensive endurance can exceed 1400km, and the fuel consumption of feed is 4.2L/100km. In terms of energy supplement, Fengyun T9 can realize the charging efficiency from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes.
(20) Tesla’s new Model Y
As early as last October, Tesla officially announced that the new Model Y was open for booking in China. A total of three configuration models have been launched, namely, the rear-wheel drive version, the dual-motor long-life version and the high-performance version. At the same time, the car has previously completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
The new Model Y has not changed in design, but it will provide a brand-new 19-inch Gemini wheel rim, and this wheel rim will be standard on both rear-wheel drive and dual-motor long-life models.
According to the application information, the new Model Y is equipped with the latest 4D1/4D3 motor with a maximum power of 220kW. After replacing the new motor, the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the rear-wheel drive version is shortened to 5.9 seconds. In addition, the new Model Y has also added multi-color atmosphere lights, brand-new instrument panel and so on.
Say at the end. ※:
In the past 2023, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in the domestic automobile market reached 36%. This means that for every 100 new cars sold, 64 are fuel vehicles and 36 are new energy vehicles. Although the entire automobile industry is vigorously undergoing electrification transformation, in fact, fuel-powered vehicles still occupy a dominant position in various market segments. Therefore, as consumers, there is no need to worry that fuel-powered vehicles will fade in a short time, and they should choose more according to their actual needs when making car purchase decisions. All in all, the "involution" of the domestic auto market will continue.
