At the beginning of the year, it was reported that the Ruihu 8 would usher in a major model change this year, with the internal code number of "T1D". Recently, some configuration information of the car has been obtained from the car market. The new car will be redesigned for the appearance, and the interior will be upgraded again. Its biggest highlight is to replace the existing 1.5T fuel power with 1.5T 48V light hybrid. This also means that its price is expected to increase. The new car will mainly focus on 7 seat models, and the technical competitors will directly point to Benz GLC. According to the information obtained at present, the new Ruihu 8 will adopt a new generation of family style design language and replace the air intake grille similar to the new generation of Ruihu 7. According to some sources, the interior design of the new car will be similar to that of Aurora, with a large inlaid central control screen. The configuration will also be greatly upgraded, with sleep headrest, 9 airbags, shift paddles, water steering and headlight follow-up steering. In addition, in addition to the 1.5T 48V, the new car will continue the current third generation 1.6T power, and will become the main model. From Chery's product planning, the "T1D" model will probably adopt the name of "Ruihu 8 Pro", forming a high and low matching with the current Ruihu 8. After all, the current Ruihu 8 is still popular with consumers. At the same time, such car matching can also provide consumers with greater choice space and meet some users who pursue higher quality needs. On the other hand, the price range of the 8 series of Ruihu cars moves up, which can also leave more market space for the 7 series of Ruihu cars, and form an obvious product separation with it, so as to avoid the tangle of consumers' car selection.
