Apple hires former BMW CEO for electric car project. The iPhone maker’s car-making efforts, known as Project Titan, have progressed unsatisfactorily since 2014. At this point, Apple began designing its own vehicles for the first time. In December 2020, Reuters reports that Apple is working on self-driving car technology and aims to produce a passenger vehicle, including breakthrough PIN technology, by 2024. Previously, in 2018, the tech giant Apple hired former Tesla design chief Andrew Kim, sparking speculation that Apple was once again trying to develop its own car. The timing of Apple’s hire of Andrew Kim seems to coincide with Doug Field’s return to Apple as well. Looking at the profile of Andrew Kim, this designer has contributed to Tesla’s hit models Model 3, Model S, Model X, Model Y as well as Roadster V2 and Semi. Before taking on a major role at Tesla, Kim spent three and a half years at Microsoft, where he developed user interfaces and Windows 10 products such as HoloLens and Xbox One S.

The sales performance of Geely Xingrui since its listing. After the success of Xingrui, Geely released a new SUV-Xingyue L non-stop. From the perspective of body structure, power configuration and model positioning, this is simply an SUV version of Xingrui. It seems that they want to make another subversion in the SUV field. In the car market, Chinese car companies have few successful cases of high-end breakthroughs. With leapfrog product strength, it is indeed feasible for Starray to achieve “dimensionality reduction strikes”. However, in the SUV field, many local models have been On the way of “leapfrogging”, the style of “B-class car size sells A-class car price” has become commonplace. In such a market environment, where is the breakthrough road for Xingyue L? 01, Bigger than BMW X3, claiming to be “compact”? As can be seen from the table below, the body size of Geely Xingyue L can be described as “exaggerated”. Its length and width have surpassed the BMW X3, and its 2845mm wheelbase has also surpassed the Highlander. Compared with the current mainstream compact SUV, the size advantage of Xingyue L is rolling. The body specifications of Xingyue L are enough to enter the category of medium-sized SUVs, but the official still defines it as a “compact SUV”. For what purpose? As a matter of fact, Geely has abandoned the industry-conventional method of determining the size based on the size of the car model, and has adopted a more rigorous and scientific division standard-the technical level of the vehicle is used to determine the car model level. The CMA “super matrix” architecture adopted by Xingyue L can theoretically cover the development of A0-class cars (small) to B-class cars (medium), but the one with the highest redundancy and the best possible use of its technical strength is A-class car (compact). Almost all models under the CMA architecture, including Geely Xingrui, Lynk&Co 03+, Volvo XC40, Polestar2, are positioned as compact cars without exception. Positioning Xingyue L as a compact SUV is a more pragmatic approach and a manifestation of technological confidence. Instead of realizing “leapfrogging” by enlarging the body size, it is better to refresh the technical ceiling in its subdivisions and become a unique technical benchmark. For consumers, it doesn’t really matter which class a car belongs to. What they care most about is whether they can buy a car with better design, better performance, and more reliable quality at the same price. Without the user’s approval, no matter how high the level is, it is futile. Polishing the product strength is the key to the breakthrough. 02. The bulls blown by the “new forces” are all realized on Xingyue L. “It looks like a Volvo!” A media teacher commented on the design of the new car at the launch of Xingyue L. I believe that he is not the only one who has similar ideas. In terms of body posture, Xingyue L does have a lot of Volvo XC series SUV shadows. Xingyue L is quite similar to Volvo’s SUV. The styling of a car is largely affected by the body structure, and the CMA structure has Volvo’s technical genes. Therefore, not only the Xingyue L, but also the previously launched Xingrui and Lynk & Co’s many models, more or more Few have the design pedigree of Volvo. But when you carefully observe the detailed craftsmanship of Xingyue L, you can see the unique mindset of the Geely design team. For example, the waterfall grille on the front face is Geely’s iconic design language. After many improvements, it can show a coordinated look and feel on different types of models. The headlights on both sides continue the Xingrui design method, and the shape is very matched with the outline of the whole vehicle. The internal light group adopts the upper and lower two-stage daytime running lights, and the lighting effect is highly recognizable. The design of the front face is based on stability. The side of the body does not use overly exaggerated lines, and the square and full shape is slightly conventional, but it is this low-key design that gives it the unique atmospheric look and feel of high-end models. With just the right chrome decoration, 20-inch super-large wheels, superb sheet metal workmanship, and coordinated body proportions, under the combination of these design elements, the style of Xingyue L is by no means a random one. Class cars are comparable. The body line is relatively mediocre, but its paint level, sheet metal workmanship, and assembly accuracy are all very good, and it is almost impossible to pick out a flaw. The exquisiteness presented by Xingyue L is far more attractive than its outline. Compared with the exterior design, the interior of Xingyue L is very high-profile. It uses an ultra-long IMAX screen (meter screen) that extends to the front of the co-driver, plus the LCD screen at the main driver’s position. The large screen is packed full, and the visual perception is very shocking. Xingyue L’s car system has not yet been open to experience, but Geely has officially announced some of the highlights of the technology configuration, such as the whole car’s global FOTA, ANC active noise reduction function, 10-speaker Bose audio, and V to Cloud (vehicle cloud), V A series of in-vehicle 5G application technologies including to Mobile real-time communication. The new car is also equipped with Geely’s 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology, which can realize 1km unmanned managed parking, and can realize L4 autonomous driving in some scenarios and working conditions. Xingyue L’s unmanned parking system can realize 100% unmanned driving within a round-trip distance of 200 meters, avoiding obstacles, intelligently searching for parking spaces, autonomous parking in and out, and other powerful functions. Super-large screens, on-board 5G, unmanned parking, global OTA, and high-level autonomous driving are all technical concepts that the “new forces” in the past are proud of. Now they can all be implemented on Xingyue L. This shows that The so-called “intelligence” is not a “patent” of new energy vehicles, and pure fuel vehicles can also be perfectly realized. In terms of power system, Xingyue L is equipped with the Drive-E series 2.0T engine, which is the same as Xingrui, and is divided into high and low power versions according to different tuning methods. The low-power version (T4 EVO) has a maximum power of 160kW and a peak torque of 325Nm, which has completely surpassed Xingrui (all 140kW and 300Nm) in terms of data; the high-power version can even have a power output of 175kW and 350Nm, so The power level of the BMW X3 (xDrive 28i) is directly compared. Xingyue L’s high-end models are also equipped with BorgWarner’s sixth-generation electro-hydraulic four-wheel drive system. The optimal braking distance of 100-0km/h is 37.37 meters. Even if you drag a huge body, the sports performance will not be affected at all. , This shows the profound skill of the CMA framework. Regardless of low-power or high-power version, the performance parameters of Xingyue L are very good. 03. The key lies in the improvement of the brand and the improvement of technology According to the official plan, Xingyue L is positioned as the flagship model in the Geely SUV camp, targeting the most mainstream A-class joint venture SUV market. The price range is expected to be between 150,000 and 220,000, directly against CR-V and Tiguan L. , RAV-4 and other joint venture models. From the perspective of book product strength, Xingyue L wins joint venture products at the same price regardless of body size, power performance, technology configuration, and intelligence level, and has the strength foundation for “dimension reduction”. Moreover, SUV is Geely’s dominant area, it is not difficult to predict that Xingyue L will achieve a brighter market performance than Xingrui. Compared with increasing sales, Xingyue L’s more important task is to achieve a real upward brand. SUVs are the starting point for Chinese brands to go up. As early as four or five years ago, many local SUVs have tried to pierce the 200,000 yuan price ceiling through the “big and small” approach. A small part of them are indeed It has achieved certain market success, but failed to obtain corresponding achievements in terms of user recognition and product reputation. Adding space and configuration can indeed push up the price, but it is difficult to create a real high-end product. The higher the price, the higher people’s pursuit of technology, performance, and quality. This is the long-term gap between local SUVs and joint venture products. Distinctive technical advantages make Xingyue L unique among many newly launched local SUVs. Geely has been aware of this for a long time. Starting from the “3.0 era” products such as Borui and Boyue, they have begun to practice “internal strength”. In addition to optimizing the design and configuration level, they also focus on improving the performance and quality of the products. Today, Geely has entered the “4.0 era”, and the CMA architecture has become the technical core of a new generation of products. Taking Xingrui as an example, it not only continues the previous advantages in space and configuration, but also surpasses in terms of actual performance. A joint venture model at the same level has been achieved, achieving a technological breakthrough with a higher threshold. From 100,000, 150,000, and then to 200,000, Geely’s products can give a super high value far exceeding the actual price in every price range. The emergence of Xingyue L is another full release of Geely’s comprehensive strength after achieving the technical commanding heights. What we are looking forward to is not whether its sales can exceed which joint venture SUV, but whether under its leadership, the status and image of the Chinese brand in the minds of consumers can achieve a substantial leap.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai In the country of origin of the Covid 19 pandemic, Corona hardly plays a role anymore. The economy is running again. This can be seen in the automotive industry, among other things. Analysts expect the Chinese auto market to grow by at least six percent this year.

Strong growth in electric cars

According to experts, sales of electric cars in China will increase at an above-average rate, which means that an increase of 70 percent is possible in the People’s Republic this year. So far, the US car company Tesla and numerous domestic e-car startups have been selling electric cars in China. The latter are called, for example, Xiaopeng, Nio , Li-Auto and Aiways. So far, these brands are hardly known in Germany. Nevertheless, China’s bustling e-car companies have made a difference in the boardrooms of the three major German car manufacturers. As far as China is concerned, BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen are now also focusing on electromobility.

German manufacturers with trade fair premieres

This can be seen from today at the auto show in Shanghai. Mercedes is showing its battery-powered models EQA and EQB, BMW is presenting the iX and the ID6 is having its world premiere at Volkswagen. Some analysts criticize that the largest German car company Volkswagen entered the e-mobility sector in China far too late. That rejected VW China boss Stephan Wöllenstein at the start of the fair. “Volkswagen almost has a good tradition of coming a little later, but all the more violently. That will probably be the case again with electromobility,” said Wöllenstein. “I think we’ve done our homework right now.” This gives the group the chance to make customers an offer that many competing companies, especially e-car startups, find it very difficult to find.

World’s largest auto show with almost no foreign visitors

With around 1000 exhibitors, “Auto China” in Shanghai is the largest auto show in the world. There will be almost no visitors from abroad. Because China’s leadership has kept the borders of the People’s Republic almost completely closed to foreigners for a good 13 months. This year, the trade fair in Shanghai is primarily a Chinese industry get-together.

In an international comparison, according to a new study, the German car manufacturers have survived the corona crisis best so far. This is the result of a study by the consulting firm EY, which was published before the start of the auto show in Shanghai today. Accordingly, Daimler, Volkswagen and BMW, with a combined decline in sales of ten percent, a drop in sales of 14 percent and a decrease in operating profit of 26 percent, fared significantly better on average than large manufacturers from other nations. Across the industry, the total sales of the 17 largest manufacturers worldwide fell by 13 percent in the previous year, according to the EY study. The car sales went down by 16 percent, the operating result by as much as 37 percent. The French brands were hit particularly hard. According to the study, only four companies had a positive profit development: Tesla, Daimler, General Motors and Kia.

China supports the industry

It is above all the flourishing business in China that saved the balance sheets of Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler. In 2020, more than every third new car (39.4 percent) was handed over to a Chinese customer. If you look at all 17 of the world’s largest car companies, the total sales of cars from these manufacturers in China only fell by four percent. In the US, the decline was 14 percent, in Western Europe, sales fell by 25 percent . Constantin M. Gall, Head of Automotive & Transportation at EY, explains: “While some companies got deeply into the red, others came through the crisis comparatively well, largely due to their regional sales focus, but also very much because of their current product portfolio is driven. ” “Companies with a large share in China benefited from the relatively stable development on the Chinese sales market. Those who are primarily active in Europe, on the other hand, had to accept massive losses,” said EY auto expert Peter Fuß.

Fair open to visitors

This also explains the great importance of the auto show that is now starting in Shanghai. Around 1000 exhibitors will present their products to hundreds of thousands of visitors in more than twelve halls by April 28th.

If you want to visit the fair in person, you have to show a negative corona test. In addition, visitors have to have their body temperature measured and use a mobile phone app to prove that they have not been in risk areas.

Praise for German automakers

The big topics of the fair are e-mobility and connectivity. And it is precisely in these areas that industry observers attest that the German representatives now have a good market position after a mixed start. They are now faster, more determined, said the German management consultant Peter Hage from the Beijing-based Districom Group. “The Volkswagen Group has done a very good job with the electric cars,” said the director of the Center for Automotive Research, Ferdinand Dudenhöffer. “The China strategy at VW-Audi-Porsche-Skoda is right.” Mercedes also started “lively” with new models in Shanghai. “Only BMW has been very hesitant in the past,” said Dudenhöffer. That is about to change: the German carmaker wants to generate a quarter of its sales with the sale of electric cars by 2025. This was announced by BMW China boss Jochen Goller in the run-up to the Shanghai Auto Show. Last year the share was around four percent.

The new BMW 5 Series was officially launched in Vietnam.

New exterior design creates a distinct sporty style

The design of the BMW 5 Series is distinguished by its exquisite sporty beauty. New tweaks contribute to increased recognition and bring the style of the 5 Series to life.

Together with BMW Group, THACO has continuously introduced new products in Vietnam. With the launch of the new BMW 5 Series model, THACO expects the 5 Series to continue conquering the enthusiasts of luxury sedans but still possessing a distinct sporty style.

The new BMW M3 2022 model has been officially announced, and it has a lot more to offer than just an attractive appearance. In the future, it will be offered with AWD drivetrain soon, but for now, it still has only three typical BMW elements: an I6 engine, a manual transmission, and a rear-wheel drive system. .

Naturally, the name M3 has a long-standing lineage derived from the legendary E30. That car has never been forgotten by the manufacturer, and so in a new video on its official YouTube channel, BMW shares the story of the special BMW E30 M3 Cecotto, which was first introduced in 1989.

Historically, BMW has produced countless special versions of the M3, such as the E46 CSL. Cecotto’s version may not be as well-received as other brothers, but it also has a good story of its own. Specifically, this M3 is named after the legendary Venezuelan driver Johnny Cecotto, who won the glory at 24 Hours of Nurburgring in 2021.

Between 1989 – 1992, Cecotto won 10 victories in the German DTM race in an M3. BMW only makes 505 M3 Cecotto, and they do not differ too much from the standard E30 M3. The most obvious change is that the M3 Cecotto uses an upgraded 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine with 215 horsepower, and an additional carburetor.

In terms of form, the 1989 BMW M3 Cecotto is offered in only three exterior colors: Misano red, Nogaro silver, and Macao blue. It comes with a serial number metal piece inside to remind you of the car’s rarity. Apart from these subtle changes, it’s not much different from the regular M3, meaning it has excellent handling and a pleasant roar from the 4-cylinder engine.

The performance of the M3 Cecotto is of course nothing compared to the later M3 models, but the E30 generation has set a significantly high standard for all other versions to follow.

For Johnny Cecotto, he must also feel honored and proud when his name is attached to a special car like this.
