Ssangyong develops gasoline 2.0T engine for China

Ssangyong Motors released the first gasoline engine SUV-Korando for the Chinese market this year. Through the sales of this model, Ssangyong’s sales in China have soared. The growth rate is nearly 2.5 times that of last year. In response, Shuanglong Automobile President Li Yuyi said in an interview with China Netcom recently: "Given the increasing proportion of SUV sales in the Chinese market, Ssangyong Motor is confident of the performance of the Chinese market in the future." In addition, due to many domestic regions To limit the purchase of diesel vehicles, Ssangyong Motor has also started developing gasoline engines for the Chinese market. President Li Yuyi also said that "for the Chinese market, the 2.0T engine will be launched in 2016." Currently selling six models in China will be expected to carry this new gasoline "T" engine.

Ssangyong Motors, which focuses on SUV production, compares with other car companies that produce SUVs in China. In addition to the brand's less impact than other competitors, it is the diesel engine that has been greatly constrained, resulting in sales of less than 3,000 units in 2012. The Hyundai Motors, which is a Korean car company, has begun to equip 2.0T supercharged engines on the new Shengda models. At present, domestic hot-selling SUVs, Haval H6, Tiguan, and Maverick, etc., are all launching gasoline "T" engines.

At the present stage, Ssangyong sold a total of six models in China, including five SUV models (Korando, Ai Teng, Rest W, Ludi, Encore) and a luxury saloon chairman. Currently, except for the chairman of Kerranduo, AiTeng and sedan, other models only provide diesel engines, which also makes Sung Lung's three SUV models have a very limited sales level. In the future, the above 6 models will be equipped with a new 2.0T supercharged engine to enhance the competitiveness of the product.

In view of the substantial increase in sales in China this year, Ssangyong Motor plans to adjust its sales target for next year to 20,000, and at the same time, the new car will be further strengthened. Li Yuyi said: "Shuanglong Motors will launch the new AiTeng in the beginning of next year, and then we will launch a Kerandu pickup to strengthen our product lineup in China."

For Ssangyong Motors, currently Russia is the world’s largest market for the brand, and the Chinese market currently accounts for only 10% of the export volume. In 2013, Ssangyong reversed its previous presence in China by introducing small-displacement gasoline models. Sales decline. Li Yuyi believes that the Chinese SUV market is currently at a stage of rapid growth. In the future, Ssangyong Motor’s export ratio in China will increase to 20%. Coupled with more engines built for Chinese consumers, Ssangyong Motors believes that Ssangyong Motors will have even greater advantages in China. Market performance.
