Dongfeng venucia released a brand-new VSA architecture for the first time at the Guangzhou Auto Show last November, and brought the first model based on this architecture-Qichen Star. The naming of "Star" also broke the previous naming method of Dongfeng Qichen with "letters+numbers", which also showed that Qichen wanted to distinguish the products under VSA architecture from the previous models. The online auto market learned from the Trademark Office that Dongfeng Motor registered "Qichenchang" and "Qichenwei". Qichen VSA architecture can be derived from three platforms, and nine new cars have been planned. The two newly registered trademarks are expected to be the names of other new cars under VSA architecture.

car companies usually register multiple name trademarks for new cars that will be launched soon, but the registration dates of these two new trademarks are both on November 26th, and Dongfeng Qichen has announced the name of the brand-new SUV-Qichen Star at the Guangzhou Auto Show which opened on November 22nd, so it is speculated that Qichen Chang and Qichen Wei are the names of the follow-up models of VSA architecture. Compared with the original "letters+numbers" form, the naming method of "Qichen+words" can better highlight the brand characteristics of Qichen and deepen users' first impression of new products.

At the end of December 219, Dongfeng Qichen announced the follow-up product planning of VSA architecture, and will further refine three vehicle platforms-VSA-L (medium and large platform), VSA-C (compact platform) and VSA-E (electric vehicle platform). The VSA chassis system can realize flexible adaptation of various types of suspensions, improve the driving stability and dynamic rigidity of vehicles, and adjust the vehicle width (184-195mm), front and rear suspension, wheelbase (265-29mm) and driving form according to the product category, so it can launch small to medium-sized products and realize full coverage of cars, SUVs and MPVs.

in addition, the electronic and electrical system architecture layout adopted in Qichen VSA architecture can fully match the rapid iterative intelligent network and intelligent driving, and will fully adapt to the automatic driving function in the 5G/V2X era in the future. In terms of power, these new products can adapt to power such as fuel, hybrid and pure electricity. According to the plan, VSA-C compact platform architecture will launch cars, SUVs and MPV models, VSA-L medium and large architecture will launch two SUVs and one MPV, while VSA-E pure electric platform will build cars, SUVs and MPV models. The first model based on VSA architecture, Kai Chenxing, is expected to be officially launched in March and April 22.
