Changan Auchan competing model Baojun 730 and popular S500

Changan Auchan competing models Yingzhi 737 and Wuling Hongguang S1

　　Auchan’s positioning is different from the previous positioning of Changan commercial vehicle brand. At present, MPV in China can be roughly divided into commercial MPV represented by Buick GL8 and commercial MPV represented by Wuling Hongguang. Changan Auchan is positioned as another emerging market, that is, home MPV. Domestic MPVs are often not expensive, but the overall quality requirements and comfort are stronger than commercial MPVs. In the past, Changan Ounuo’s competitors were Scenery 360 and Wuling Hongguang. However, Auchan’s potential consumer groups do pay attention to household consumers, which is close to Baojun 730, but latecomers such as popular S500, Yingzhi 737 and Wuling Hongguang S1 will also make efforts in this market segment. It is believed that Auchan has a high overall quality and cost performance after listing, and can perform well in the home MPV market.
