Some newly launched models have consecutively achieved “huge” sales figures and even before that, Kia Seltos and Toyota Corolla Cross had a period of time in a state of out-of-stock, buyers had to wait a long time. just received the car. Toyota Corolla Cross: 720-910 million VND Vehicles Toyota Corolla Cross (Image source: Internet) Toyota Corolla Cross is a small SUV model of the Japanese automaker that was launched at the same time as the Kia Seltos model. Toyota Corolla Cross is considered to be a “makeover” in terms of design and technology, shedding some of the traditional traditional style of Japanese models. However, the price of Toyota Corolla Cross is quite high compared to competitors in the same segment. With an amount of less than 750 million VND, buyers can only buy 1.8 G version for 720 million VND. Other versions are more expensive, the most advanced version 1.8 HV uses a hybrid engine with a list price of up to 980 million VND. Kia Seltos: 609-729 million VND Vehicles Kia Seltos (Image source: Internet) Going against the general trend of the market, this month Kia Seltos suddenly increased the price of all 3 versions to 10 million dong. This model used to be in a state of scarcity when the number of customers ordered increased. However, with its stylish design along with the leading technology support system in the segment, and possessing a competitive price, this model in recent months has taken turns to “win” the segment’s throne. Urban SUVs. Hyundai Kona: 636 – 750 million VND Hyundai Kona (Image source: Internet) When launched in 2018, this model quickly took the top of Ford Ecosport thanks to its youthful and modern design. However, recently, this model has given up its position when it was competed by emerging juniors Kia Seltos and Corolla Cross after 2 years without changes in appearance. Ford Ecosport: 603-686 million VND Ford Ecosport (Image source: Internet) Opening for the urban SUV segment in Vietnam since 2014, this model from the US cannot maintain its attraction and is subject to fierce competition from Japanese and Korean rivals. The EcoSport model was evaluated to be underdog during the time when high-rise, small-sized cars were in full bloom. Mitsubishi Xpander Cross: 670 million VND Mitsubishi Xpander Cross (Image source: Internet) Following the success of sales of the Mitsubishi Xpander 2020, Mitsubishi Xpander Cross 2021 has only launched a single version with the listed price at VND 670 million. Xpander Cross brings success thanks to its competitive price and more spacious space than other models in the same segment. Suzuki XL7: 589 – 599 million VND Suzuki XL7 (Image source: Internet) Suzuki XL7 is distributing to the Vietnamese market with only the GLX version with 2 options of felt seats and leather seats with prices of 589 and 599 million dong, respectively. This model currently owns the cheapest price in the segment.

The study demonstrated a new approach to harnessing these frequencies, developing a new chip that can convert them into power for a small LED, possibly other small electronics and sensors. . Over the years, they’ve looked at a number of research projects aimed at capturing energy from radio waves, such as those generated by Wi-Fi, with some showing real potential. The idea is to turn the energy from these wireless networks so that it doesn’t go to waste and use it for power supply purposes. However, generating effective amounts of energy has so far been challenging. The researcher holding the chip has a series of small devices called torque oscillators that can power LEDs. The new technology, developed by scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Japan’s Tohoku University, uses a torque oscillator (STO). This is a relatively new class of micro-devices that are capable of generating microwaves, but have so far only resulted in low output power. Fusing multiple STOs together on a single chip is the way the scientists hope to increase this power output, but they have had difficulty determining the optimal configuration. Efforts are hampered by issues around distance and low frequency response. The authors of the new study designed and tested the new layout, where eight STOs are connected in a chain, which they say overcomes these problems. The new layout can take the 2.4 GHz radio waves generated by Wi-Fi signals and convert them into direct voltage signals. It will be fed into a capacitor and used to light up a 1.6 volt LED. Charging the capacitor for 5 seconds allows the LED to stay on for one minute, even after the power has been turned off. Study author Professor Yang Hyunsoo said: “We are surrounded by Wi-Fi signals, but when not in use to access the Internet, they will not work and this is a huge waste. The available 2.4 GHz radio waves become a source of green energy, thus reducing the need for batteries to power the electronic devices that we use frequently. In this way, small electrical devices and sensors can be powered wirelessly using radio frequency waves. With the advent of smart homes and cities, our work can create energy-efficient applications in communications, computers and neuromorphic systems.” The researchers will seek to enhance the energy harvesting capabilities of this technology by increasing the number of STOs in the chip. They will also explore how it is used to power other electronics and sensors. Huong Giang (via: New Atlas)

“We are the first manufacturer in the world to combine the internal combustion engine and the electric motor in a small UAV. In flight, internal combustion engines are not the main engine, they only provide energy. for generators, battery buffers and electric motors with electronic systems working, “said project leader Khamitov. Aero Company’s product. The electric motor increases uptime, making the aircraft quieter enough to perform unexpected secret missions. Meanwhile, similar products using other internal combustion engines can hardly do that. It is known that, before announcing the ZALA 421-16E5G, ZALA Aero Company also made a surprise with ZALA 421-16E5. This UAV is not only capable of operating 16 hours continuously in the air but is also designed to return to base in the event of a loss of contact with the control center. In the UAV’s electronics department there are cameras with high resolution cameras, night vision equipment and thermal imaging equipment. The images are stacked to facilitate terrain monitoring at any time of day. “The design of this UAV model uses unique technology to create a quality and reliable product. The engine management system is completely inside and controls every detail of the aircraft. In addition, the ZALA 421-16E5 can also be deployed from an electrically controlled launch system in special terrain areas. This is a feature that is being developed with attention in new UAV models today. Old drones can only take off at flat runways and are carefully prepared, “said Zala Aero design director Alexander Zakharov. In addition, Mr. Zakharov also ensured that the ZALA 421-16E5 protective and landing gear has a special design to make the process safe. What makes this UAV so special is its ability to return to the base in case something goes wrong with the control system. Zala Aero is a subsidiary of the Kalashnikov group mainly develops and manufactures air reconnaissance and reconnaissance weapons. The company’s main products include UAVs, helicopters and hot air balloons.

After the great success of the urban SUV model Kia Seltos in the Vietnamese market, Kia’s exclusive distributor in Vietnam, Thaco Truong Hai, continued its move to launch another urban SUV, the Kia Sonet. . Information revealed first, the new SUV model has received great attention from the monotonous world. So what are the similarities and differences between Kia Sonet and Kia Seltos?

Classification, size

The Kia Seltos is designed to be a B-SUV, while the Kia Sonet is a smaller mini SUV (SUV A +). Kia Sonet has an overall size of 3,995 x 1,790 x 1,642 (mm) long x width x height; wheelbase 2,500 (mm). Meanwhile, Kia Seltos seniors have corresponding dimensions of 4,315 x 1,800x 1,645 (mm), a wheelbase of 2,610 (mm). Thus, Seltos is longer than 320 (mm); 10 (mm) wider and 3 (mm) taller; wheelbase more than 110 (mm). With a much larger length and wheelbase, the Seltos looks better on the outside and the interior is easier to sit, especially for the second row occupants.

Although small, but the Mini SUV Kia Sonet is an A + SUV, compared to the A-class hatchback, the Kia Morning, it is clear that the Sonet still has a larger size.

Engine power

As the A-SUV segment, the Kia Sonet cannot compare with the Kia Seltos in terms of performance. While Seltos uses 1.4L and 1.6L petrol engines with 121-138 horse power, Sonet uses a 1.2L petrol engine with a capacity of only 87 horse power (equivalent to the Morning). Sonet 1.0L T-GDi version uses Turbo engine for 118Hp capacity. Sonet in the world market also has a 1.5L oil engine with a capacity of 97 horsepower, far behind Seltos. So, if you own a Mini SUV Kia Sonet, the owner will have to balance because the ability to climb up when carrying heavy loads is quite weak. Just look at the Kia Morning to know.

Beautiful, youthful and modern exterior design

Since its launch in Vietnam, Seltos has continuously created a fever because of its extremely eye-catching design. Characteristic SUV design, indicators such as tiger nose calipers are arranged harmoniously to help the car look extremely seductive. Many experts and consumers rate the Kia Seltos with the highest score on the exterior. The Kia Sonet, when compared to the Kia Seltos, is equally beautiful, even though the exterior looks smaller, but still exudes the sportiness of a modern urban SUV.

Comfortable cabin compartment

The most similarity when comparing the interior of the Sonet and the Seltos is that the cabin is similar. Both cars are equipped with a 10.25-inch LCD screen that stands on the dashboard. 3-spoke steering wheel with audio adjustment and hands-free phone. Digital display behind the wheel instead of traditional analog. Other amenities that 2 5-seater SUVs have such as intelligent explosion, automatic air conditioning, and the front seats are designed to hold tight against fatigue. The difference is probably in the sunroof on the highest-end Sonet. But do not know if this detail will be cut when returning to Vietnam or not? In addition, the Kia Sonet also surprised with a new 7-seat version launched in Indonesia. But perhaps this version is not about Vietnam.

Safe enough

The Kia Sonet is equipped with just enough safety features such as 6 airbags, ABS brakes, EBD, ESC, brake assist, front and rear parking sensors, tire pressure warning, automatic headlights and security keychains. Full Isofix for child seats. Seltos has some additional features such as support for horizontal slope departure, traction control …

Above are some comparisons between two small SUV brothers Kia Sonet and Seltos. It is expected that with a low price, Sonet will be a new blockbuster in the Vietnamese auto market in the near future.
