This is the face of Volkswagen, “Uncle Liu” endorses a large 6-seater SUV, starting within 300,000 As a world-class automobile giant, Volkswagen certainly does not need to doubt its technical strength. However, most of its products have been ordinary family cars with cheap styles after being introduced to the Chinese market for so many years. The sense of design is indeed relatively lacking, and the space and power performance are generally average. . Since the suspension of production of the Volkswagen Phaeton, it seems that there has been a lack of a real face product, but the recent appearance of a new model broke this situation. FAW-Volkswagen has officially launched its launch price of 299,000 yuan, positioning it as a medium and large SUV. From the perspective of size positioning, this FAW-Volkswagen Lanjing is currently the world’s largest-scale Volkswagen SUV model, with a total length of 5152mm, a body width of 2002mm, and a wheelbase of 2980mm, which is obviously better than a medium-sized Highlander and the like. The SUV is a lap bigger, so the appearance is already full. This time the new car also invited the popular star actor Yu Hewei to endorse, that is, the image of Uncle Liu Huang who is very familiar on the screen. It can be felt that Volkswagen is also very particular about looking for spokespersons. , Last time I invited Liu Yifei to a new electric model, and this time I invited Yu Hewei to choose different models based on the temperament of the target customer groups. Judging from the appearance and design of this car, the current Volkswagen model has completely got rid of the doll curse. The front face of the front of the car has a more refined chrome-plated horizontal air intake grille with LED matrix headlights. The whole car is indeed very strong when viewed from the side. In particular, there are large-area side windows behind the c-pillar to ensure that the third row of passengers is transparent, and the rear part provides the current popular through-type taillights. After opening the door, there will be more surprises. Nowadays, Volkswagen’s interior is not boring at all. The center console directly provides a full LCD instrument panel system and a large-size navigation screen. The sense of technology brought by the two large screens is quite intuitive and newly designed. The multi-function steering wheel has also become much more refined, and coupled with the small-sized electronic gear lever similar to the 8th-generation Golf, the front-row driving space is very advanced. The current FAW-Volkswagen Range provides 6 seats, that is, a 2+2+2 seat layout, which is a more comfortable configuration for a medium and large SUV, especially the third row passengers can also enjoy Very spacious horizontal space. In order to drive this big SUV, of course a stronger engine is needed. The entry has already provided a 2.0t low-power version of the engine. The maximum output of 186 horsepower is a sufficient level. The medium version is a 2.0t high-power engine with a maximum output of 220. Horsepower, and matched with a 4-wheel drive system. If it is not enough, the highest version is directly equipped with a 2.5t turbocharged engine. The maximum output of this v6 engine can be increased to 299 horsepower, and it is also blessed with a four-wheel drive system. Generally speaking, the starting price of this FAW-Volkswagen package is controlled within 300,000. The size has a trend of leapfrogging, coupled with the atmospheric appearance and more refined interior, it is very in line with the preference of Chinese consumers in car selection, so it is not difficult to predict. The final sales performance of this model will be very optimistic. The question is coming, do you think the masses can be popular?

Tiggo 8 “Performance Edition” is here, and the horsepower is superstar! Distance to pin crown, 8AT difference

2021-06-28T02:05:05Z

Tiggo 8 “Performance Edition” is here, and the horsepower is superstar! Distance to pin crown, 8AT difference In the field of domestically-produced independent car brands, Chery Automobile is considered to be relatively old. In the face of the pandemic of SUV models in the last ten years, although Chery Automobile’s Tiggo series came out very early, its sense of existence at this stage is not so strong. Below, Haval h6 and Changan CS75plus have the strength to challenge the sales king, and Tiggo 8 as the absolute core sales pillar, the monthly sales can only be maintained at about 10,000 units, and there is still a big gap between the top sales. However, Chery Automobile now has more and more cards, especially the core powertrain is more abundant, because the strategy of insisting on positive research and development for so many years has begun to bear fruit, and the third-generation high-performance engine has become the core selling point of Chery’s models. In the recent batch of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s declaration list, Chery Tiggo 8 has appeared again, and it has been basically confirmed that it will be officially updated in July. This time the new Tiggo 8 will bring many surprises. First of all, judging from the appearance design of the declaration drawing, the styling style of the new Tiggo 8 has not changed much. The front face of the car is still designed a few years ago. The black large-mouth air intake grille is matched with a long matrix chrome decoration. Replaced with more narrow and long LED matrix headlights, there are not too many complicated lines on the side of the body, which is completely a calm route. There is a large area of triangular windows behind the C-pillar, which is a typical medium-sized SUV overall. Of course, Tiggo 8 can only be regarded as a relatively entry-level mid-size SUV. After all, the outline size of this car is not too large. The total length of the newly declared model is 4.7 meters and the wheelbase is 2710mm, which is only comparable to compact SUVs such as Haval h6. Therefore, in such a situation, it is not recommended to choose the 7-seater version. The space experience in the last row will be more cramped, and the 5-seater version of Tiggo 8 will be more comfortable. In fact, the biggest highlight of the new Tiggo 8 application information is the replacement of the powertrain. On the basis of the original 1.5t and 1.6t, the third-generation 2.0t engine has now been added. The first to carry the powertrain, this 2.0t engine has a declared maximum power of 187 kilowatts, which is already as high as 254 horsepower, which can be equal to the Volvo t5 version. Under such high horsepower, the comprehensive fuel consumption data can be controlled at 7 liters per unit. Hundred kilometers. After switching to a 2.0t engine, the new Tiggo 8 can be said to be a performance version, because its size and weight are not large, 254 horsepower can definitely bring the driving experience of an entry-level high-performance car, and the data level has surpassed the Geely Xingyue L . The only fly in the ointment is that it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. If it can be replaced with an 8AT gearbox, the intuitive feeling to consumers will be more advanced and the distance to the pin crown will be closer. In fact, it is precisely because of Chery Automobile’s positive R&D strategy that AT gearboxes are excluded. It is impossible to purchase Aisin or ZF gearboxes in a short time. Of course, the current 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is used. The reliability of the box is not bad, mainly because it cannot cater to the preferences of a large number of consumers. Here comes the question, do you think Tiggo 8 can be hot by adding 2.0T? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, let’s discuss together! Take a second to pay attention and make friends for life! Some pictures are from the Internet, and writing is not easy. Fans are welcome to like and share.

It is Volkswagen’s largest SUV in the world!

2021-06-28T00:45:09Z

FAW-Volkswagen’s first new flagship mid-to-large SUV, Lanjing has been pre-sold before, and a total of 6 models have been launched. On June 24th last night, Lanjing finally officially launched on the night of the ancient capital of Xi’an. Listed, The price range is 29.99-39.99 million yuan . The whole series are available in 6-seater and 7-seater versions, with 2.0T standard power, 2.0T high power, and 2.5T V6 power. Compared with the previous pre-sale price, except for the entry and top models, the others are unchanged. The configured models are 2100 yuan cheaper. The new car is based on the familiar Volkswagen MQB EVO platform. It covers everything from Volkswagen’s small car POLO to today’s car with a body length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of 2980mm. It is larger than Audi Q7 and BMW. X5 is even bigger, and I have to admire the high degree of compatibility of the popular platform. If you still feel unfamiliar with the scope of this FAW-Volkswagen, do you remember the mid-to-large SUV Tourang of SAIC Volkswagen before? In fact, Lanjing is also a product of Volkswagen’s two-car strategy in China. The two cars can be understood as a sister relationship, but the Lanjing was born four years later. There is plenty of time to combine the experience of the former to give birth to a better one. Product differentiation performance and experience. Unlike the hardcore image of Touron, the image of Lanjing seems to be able to take into account both domestic and commercial use. The design language adopts the shape of the Volkswagen SMV Concept concept car, making Lanjing more like a combination of Tourang and the prestige of medium and large MPVs. The black suspension roof design can lower the visual center of gravity of the overall car body, without sacrificing the practicality that an SUV should have. The style after the taillights of the car is lit and the new generation of Volkswagen’s pure electric series ID The .6 models are quite similar, with a sense of advanced technology. When it comes to technology, it is actually one of the highlights of Lanjing. First, with the support of the MQB EVO platform, Lanjing has been upgraded in all aspects of electrification and intelligence, mainly focusing on chassis structure and electrical wiring. These two aspects have been greatly optimized to increase the calculation speed of IQ.DRIVE technology and IQ.Light technology, including active and passive collision safety, L2+ level driving assistance, comprehensive parking assistance technology, smart lighting assistance system, and DCC dynamic chassis control System and so on. In the past, the models that focused on space at this price were more or less general in terms of sophistication and luxury, but this time the luxury of the range is carried out from the outside to the inside of the whole car, a bit subverted my concept, the interior The materials used are very particular, and it is difficult to see plastic materials appear again. The configuration and distribution of the three-row seats does not have a particularly large sense of drop, and thanks to the advantages of the body size, the performance of the third-row seating space is also a rare comfort experience in a group of 7-seat SUVs, and if it is a 6-seat version , In the second row, an executive-level boss seat is provided, with electric adjustment, active ventilation, heating, and a built-in 3D massage air bag, which can realize 3 modes and 3 intensities of pneumatic massage functions, simulating real massage techniques , The head is also equipped with aviation sleep headrest. The first cloud floating center console design gets rid of the dull doll style and has a certain personality. Among them, the Harman Kardon audio configuration with 12 speakers is relatively rare, and the steering wheel and multimedia system’s full touch buttons create an all-digital In the cockpit, the environment also uses noise reduction parts, double-layer sound insulation glass and optimized rear acoustics to improve the quietness of more than 50 places in the whole car. If you want this German-imported EA390 2.5T V6 engine, there is currently only the world, because this power has been cancelled on the latest Tuon, it can burst out a maximum of 299 horsepower and 500N m of torque. , Equipped with the BorgWarner-Hende 6th generation 4 MOTION four-wheel drive system of the same model as the Audi S3 and Golf R, and the new gearbox code-named DQ501, its brand-new bearing scheme and mechanical pump + electric pump control mode , Coupled with low-viscosity gearbox lubricants, make the performance of the environment satisfactory in terms of fuel consumption. Write at the end With the introduction of the national three-child policy, it is believed that SUVs of the size like Lanjing will gradually attract attention, and the corresponding people will hope that a car can meet all their needs as much as possible, and Lanjing as FAW-Volkswagen The flagship new work for the 30th anniversary of its establishment is definitely a powerful presence. When considering this type of model, you may wish to take a look at it.

All new Highlander hybrid models will be sold starting from 268,800, and the old fuel version will be sold in the same house

2021-06-27T23:20:06Z

On the evening of June 25, 2021, GAC Toyota’s all-new Highlander was officially launched. The new car has launched a total of 6 models with a guide price of 268,800-348,800. As a benchmark product in the joint venture medium-sized SUV market, Highlander has been highly sought after since its entry into China, so what changes have been made to the brand-new Highlander? Let’s take a look at it right away. Looks tougher The new Highlander has a towering hood, and at first glance, it feels unreliable. Although the shadow of the old model can be seen in the general outline, the changes in the details are also obvious. For example, the headlights and the China grid adopt new shapes, and the lines of bumpers and other parts are also tougher, and there are more bends. Viewed from the side, the new Highlander is still very large, and the curved waistline extending from the front door to the rear fender is like a muscled arm that hugs the car tightly. The creation of a sense of strength has an immediate effect. The rear light group is also a new design, and its shape echoes the headlights, and the overall visual impression is more trendy and fashionable than the current model. The interior is closer to the family style While retaining practicality, the interior of the new Highlander is more closely aligned with Toyota’s latest family style. Among them, the large floating central control screen is eye-catching, but common functions such as air conditioning are still arranged below in the form of physical buttons and knobs. In addition, the new Highlander has changed from the old snake-shaped gear to a straight gear design, the old suspension throttle has also become an organ throttle, and the old mechanical footbrake has finally been upgraded to an electronic handbrake. It is commendable that the new Highlander retains the storage slot of the old model that extends from the center console to the co-driver, but the new model has changed from the old one-piece to the two-stage, but it is still very practical. The 7-seater layout of 2+3+2 is still adopted Unsurprisingly, the domestic version of the new Highlander still uses a 7-seater layout of 2+3+2, while the 6-seater version with independent seats in the second row of the US version has not yet been introduced. The new generation of Highlander still has the proud third-row space among the mid-sized 7-seater SUVs in the same class, especially the horizontal space is very spacious. This is because the domestic version of the new Highlander has 8 seats in the US version of 2+3+3 layout. The version was built on the basis of the model, but for domestic policy reasons, the seat belt and headrest were removed from the middle seat of the third row, so the third row that could sit 3 people, now only sits for 2 people, can it not be spacious? 2.5L hybrid system blessing In terms of power, the new Highlander is equipped with a 2.5L hybrid system with a maximum comprehensive power of 192 horsepower. The transmission system matches the E-CVT gearbox. Just look at the horsepower numbers, the new model is not as good as the old 2.0T, but based on past experience, Toyota hybrid models are not bad in power, and the mid-to-low-speed push-back feel is even stronger than that of fuel vehicles of the same power level. The new Highlander still offers two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, and because of the use of a hybrid system, the four-wheel drive version will be an electric four-wheel drive with a motor on the rear axle. Write at the end It is reported that after the launch of the new Highlander, the old 2.0T fuel version of the Highlander will not be delisted, but will continue to be produced and sold together with the new model for a period of time. If you look at the price of 26.88-348,800, I think the new Highlander itself is not expensive, and the addition of the hybrid system will improve its power, economy, smoothness, and quietness. So I think spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy a new Highlander will be more worthwhile than buying an old 2.0T model. But the question is, since the new Highlander is so good, do you think you can get a car if you don’t increase the fare and don’t line up? Hahaha

The lack of “core” is still troubled, and the sales analysis of the A-class sedan market in May

2021-06-27T16:03:01Z

Although domestic sales of SUVs have surpassed those of sedans, the A-class sedan market is still the choice of many home users, and the competitive pressure is also the most market segment. Major brands have one or two blockbuster models at this level. In May of this year, the cumulative sales of domestic A-class cars were 426,500, a year-on-year decrease of 14.12%, and this was the first time this year that there was a year-on-year decline. The main reason for this problem is the lack of “core”, and some auto companies have slowed down production. The overall pattern of the A-class car market has not changed much. There are 44 German models, and Japanese and domestic models each account for 33 models. Japanese “Sylphy” defends the title, Civic declines significantly In terms of specific models, Nissan Sylphy still won the domestic car’s monthly sales champion. In May, its sales reached 42,062. However, there was a 7.11% decline year-on-year in May last year. The cumulative sales have reached 208,880, too. At present, the only domestic model with cumulative sales of more than 200,000 units from January to May. Sylphy has shown its strong dominance since its replacement. The appearance and space of the whole car have advantages at the same level, and there is also the name of the Japanese sofa, making it very suitable for the needs of ordinary families. Previously, there were media reports that the new Sylphy e-Power model will also be officially launched in the fourth quarter of this year, which will further widen the gap with the second place. 【Sylphy】 The other two Japanese models are occupied by Corolla and Ralink. The performance of these two brothers in the market has been very stable at this level. The reputation of both models is very good, with excellent fuel consumption and low maintenance costs. The choice of fewer families is also a favorite of many Didi drivers. However, it is worth noting that the Civic, which was previously at the top of the list, fell out of the top ten. It is also the model that has the greatest impact on this list due to chip shortages. For Dongfeng Honda, its two main models CR-V and Civics suffered a cliff-like decline one after another, and the losses were indeed serious. 【Corolla】 The performance of the German department is quite satisfactory, and it is still the ones we are familiar with Among the top ten sales of A-class cars, four of them are Volkswagen models, two SAIC-Volkswagen and two FAW-Volkswagens, namely LaVida, Bora, Sagitar and Santana. We are all familiar with these models. Is the top ten regular customer on the sales list. LaVida sold 34,800 units in May, and the gap with Sylphy is still relatively large. It is true that LaVida will not be able to keep up with the rhythm after the replacement of Sylphy. If the Sylphy e-Power is launched later, perhaps this gap will be further widened. . Another model of SAIC Volkswagen, the Santana, ranked eighth. The sales volume in May actually maintained quite well, and there was nothing too brilliant about it. 【Sagitar】 Ranked third is FAW-Volkswagen Bora. Its sales in May reached 31,303. The gap with Lavida is not too big. Compared with the previous month, its sales in April increased by leaps and bounds. The year-on-year and month-on-month growth reached 45.39% and 74.70 respectively. %, the fifth-ranked Sagitar’s performance in May was also very eye-catching. It saw an increase of 174.66% from the previous month. The sales volume in May reached 25,730. This is also in line with FAW-Volkswagen’s recent increase in preferential promotion. In the short term, there is no chip pressure related, and it can be regarded as a blow to the newly listed Ling Shang and Asian Lions. There are also three domestically made models, which is surprising 【Empire】 It is quite unexpected that three independent brands can enter the top ten to tell the truth. This is also related to the shortage of Dongfeng Honda chips. The top three models are still Geely Emgrand ranking seventh, with monthly sales of 14025 units. The year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter declines are not small, which is also related to the upcoming launch of new models by Geely Emgrand. Although the old models have great discounts, many consumers are waiting for the new models. After all, the old models have not been there for a long time. After a new generation, the overall look is relatively old-fashioned. 【Easy PLUS】 The other two models are also our old friends, Changan Yidong and Roewe i5, ranking ninth and tenth respectively. Changan Yidong PLUS is also a model with a relatively strong upward momentum in self-owned brand cars, but now this performance has been maintained for a long time. It seems to have come to the top, the overall appearance is very good, the interior materials and workmanship also have certain advantages at the same level, and the performance of the Changan Blue Whale engine is also very eye-catching. 【Roewe i5】 The Roewe i5 has also been updated not long ago. The new model has a very large upgrade in the exterior and interior, but the price has not changed, and the price/performance ratio is very good. And this is the reason why Roewe i5 can gain the market. It and Geely Emgrand are both low-priced, large-sized and good overall quality models, and the price-performance ratio is very good. to sum up: On the whole, the A-class car market declined significantly in May. It was also due to the lack of chips and the rise of some raw materials. The production pressure of manufacturers was also greater. We learned from many joint venture brand dealers that many models are available. Reducing discounts has also made many consumers wait-and-see, but overall, the signs of recovery in the domestic auto market this year are still very obvious. Author

2021-06-27T14:15:07Z

As a leading enterprise in Zhejiang Province, Geely Holding Group quickly responded to the policy call.

The two plans go hand in hand, not only retaining the advantages in the field of intelligent energy-saving and new energy vehicles, but also opening up a new situation for intelligent pure electric vehicles. The reporter noticed that in March this year, Geely launched a new pure electric company Jikrypton Smart Technology. The company is jointly invested by Geely Automobile and Geely Holding Group (including employee co-investment platform and user rights platform), of which Geely Automobile holds 51% of the shares. , Geely Holding Group holds 49% of the shares. Li Shufu became the chairman of Jikrypton Company, and An Conghui became the CEO of Jikrypton Company. Regarding the reason for the birth of Jikrypton Smart Technology, Geely told reporters that the birth of Jikrypton Smart Technology is not to follow the trend of the market and capital operation, but to distinguish it from traditional car manufacturing and new power models, to achieve the rapid evolution and development of smart pure electricity. The “Ultra Krypton Model” of the third track of pure electric development bears Geely’s mission to develop a new situation for pure electric smart cars. The highly anticipated ultra-krypton intelligent technology achieved outstanding results in the first battle. On April 15th, Geek Smart Technology released the new brand Geek R ZEEKR, and launched the first mass-produced vehicle ZEEKR 001 based on SEA’s vast intelligent evolution experience architecture, which is expected to be officially delivered in October. “Since the ZEEKR 001 booking has been opened simultaneously, the ZEEKR 001 order has exceeded expectations, reflecting the attention and recognition of the market and users, and has become the hottest model in the high-end smart pure electric market.” Geely said. On June 15th, Krypton Intelligent Technology announced that all deliverable orders for 2021 had been sold out, and the average order value of ZEEKR 001 large-scale users exceeded 335,000 yuan. At the same time that the market is booming, JiKr Intelligent Technology also locates its global headquarters in Ningbo. “It will focus on the construction of a trillion-level automobile industry cluster, focus on the development of smart cars, new energy vehicles, key automotive parts and other key areas, and jointly invest in the construction of high-end parts industrial parks for electric vehicles and smart cars with Ningbo, and boost the development of Ningbo’s automotive industry. Quality development and transformation and upgrading.” Geely said. The Ningbo Municipal Government also stated that advanced manufacturing clusters are a sign of high-quality economic development in a country and region, and are also a support for stimulating sound and high-quality economic development. “Ningbo City Government supports Geely Holding Group to leverage its comprehensive competitive advantages in both resources and technology, coordinate resources, do a good job of service, and strive to create a number of landmark and leading important achievements, and plan to promote the construction of a number of major projects to drive The sustainable development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain will help Ningbo’s trillion-level automobile industry cluster construction.” In fact, as the southern wing economic center and advanced manufacturing base of the Yangtze River Delta, Ningbo is the first pilot demonstration city of “Made in China 2025”. Since the reform and opening up, relying on the leading role of Geely and other vehicle companies and the first-mover advantage in the field of auto parts, the auto industry has become a landmark industry in Ningbo. “Geely will give full play to Geely’s long-term accumulation of professional capabilities and systematic advantages, increase R&D investment and organizational construction in the new four modernizations, build intelligent software and hardware full-stack self-research capabilities, and establish industry-leading technology and scale advantages. At the same time, JKr will adhere to the value concept of equality, diversification and sustainability, and use pure user thinking to create the ultimate travel life with users.” said An Conghui, CEO of JKr Intelligent Technology. Helping “Common Wealth” In fact, the fate between Geely and Ningbo began as early as the end of the last century. Ningbo can be regarded as the starting point and accelerator for Geely’s high-quality development. Since it settled in Ningbo in 1999, the “Ningbo Declaration” was issued in 2007 to announce the strategic transformation, the General Research Institute was completed in Ningbo in 2017, and the headquarters of Geely Automobile Group settled in Ningbo.

So I am very grateful to the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and related parties for their support to Geely. Support and assistance for automobile development.” “Geely employs nearly 40,000 employees in Ningbo, involving the entire industry chain. This is also an important reason why Geely chose Ningbo as a pioneering point for the Geely Common Wealth Plan pilot demonstration zone.” Geely said that Geely Common Wealth was launched this time.

Elfa dropped 700,000, Mercedes-Benz Grand G dropped 1.48 million, how to buy a luxury car that was “broken” on the Internet?

2021-06-27T11:25:05Z

Recently, a quotation map of Hainan Free Trade Duty-Free Models has been circulated on the Internet. Most of the models in the figure fluctuate at about 50% of the pre-tax manufacturer’s guide price. More importantly, different from the models with poor market performance that we recognize that discounts are low, several cars in the picture can be regarded as sweet and pastry. Among them, the Mercedes-Benz hardcore “square box” G63, which was originally priced at 3.5 million, can be purchased for only 1.52 million after duty-free. In Erfa, the price of 500,000 is not only tax-free, but also does not have a second price increase from dealers. The discount is even stronger than that of the “Double Eleven” online shopping; not to mention the Cayenne, it is also about 50% off. The discounts on the above several models that are so popular in China are so cruel. Is there a hidden pit? Why are “zero-tariff” models cheap? Let’s calculate an account. For an imported passenger car with 9 seats or less, the comprehensive import tax rate ranges from 31.26% to 116.58%. Take a model with a displacement of 3.5 liters as an example, if you get a duty-free car purchase quota, in addition to exempting 15% import tariffs, you can also exempt 13% import value-added tax and 25% import-link consumption tax. Calculated like this, it is by no means a problem that a car of 1 million is cheaper than 500,000. Can you buy anything? At present, the purchase of “zero-tariff” models is not limited to Hainan residents. People from other places and tourists can also enjoy the “duty-free” policy, but don’t be happy too soon. In accordance with the “Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the General Administration of Customs and Taxation on the “Zero Tariff” Policy for Hainan Free Trade Port Vehicles and Yachts” and the “Administrative Measures on Hainan Free Trade Port “Zero Tariff” Imported Vehicles and Yachts” formulated and issued by Hainan Province (for trial implementation) )”, buyers of “zero-tariff” models must be enterprises engaged in transportation and tourism, and the vehicles, airplanes, yachts and other vehicles purchased must be purchased in the name of operation. Only when all the above conditions are met, can the quota be exempted from import duties, import value-added tax, and consumption tax. In other words, for ordinary domestic consumers, they can basically stop thinking about buying luxury cars at duty-free prices. Of course, there is no shortage of wealthy and time-consuming consumers in China. Even if there are people who are willing to spend time and energy on registering tourism or transportation companies, there are still many restrictions. Buying it doesn’t mean getting it right once and for all Even if you successfully purchase a “zero-tariff” vehicle, the scope of use will be restricted. Different from the “free body” of ordinary models, “zero-tariff” vehicles can operate passenger and cargo transportation from the Hainan Free Trade Port to and from the mainland, but the cumulative duration of stay in the mainland must not exceed 120 days per calendar year. In addition, the duty-free vehicles that depart from the Hainan Free Trade Port to the mainland for passenger and cargo transportation services have relatively fixed locations and driving routes, and duty-free vehicles that return immediately after loading and unloading passengers and cargo are not subject to the limit on the number of days. However, it is obvious that the second scenario does not meet the car usage scenarios of most consumers. We use the first method to do a simple calculation. If the preferential policy is only for low-priced car purchases, although the purchaser only uses a 50% discount on the car price, but at the same time, the number of days you use the car in the Mainland throughout the year is Only the tri-fold of ordinary models are in their early days. In other words, if you are not resident in Hainan Province, purchasing a duty-free model may not be a solid profit. Off-island residence time algorithm Although “zero-tariff” vehicles enter and exit the mainland are not restricted by the number of times, the rule that the stay in the mainland must not exceed 120 days is the biggest bottleneck in the use of vehicles. The number of prescribed days is currently calculated according to natural days, and the time of vehicles entering and leaving the island and the number of days staying outside the island are all collected and analyzed by law enforcement agencies on the Internet. Want to avoid increasing the number of days off the island? Don’t think about it at all.

Second-hand car purchase index: GAC Fick Jeep Guide

2021-06-27T08:35:07Z

Although buying a second-hand car is the most affordable option for consumers, it will always make people worry that they will choose problem vehicles such as accident vehicles, water vehicles, and overhaul vehicles. In fact, compared to physical depreciation (tangible loss), the “original car manufacturing quality” factor mentioned in the comprehensive analysis of second-hand cars is often overlooked. In addition, the source of second-hand cars, price trends, and recall are also important factors in judging whether a second-hand car is worth buying. As the leading domestic platform for collecting information on defective automobile products, Car Quality Network will continue to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of second-hand models of various brands based on massive big data analysis, so as to provide direct and effective reference information for everyone. The evaluation objects of this period are some models of GAC Fick Jeep Guide. For detailed analysis, please refer to the following content. 1. Model year analysis: 2017-2020 models are in the optional range As a compact SUV under GAC Fick’s Jeep, the guide can not only travel in the city, but also occasionally take you to the outdoors for light exploration. In short, Jeep Guide is an all-rounder who can “can be literary and martial arts”. The current generation of Jeep guides has just completed the mid-term facelift at the end of last year, and has upgraded the power and interior design. At present, in the used car market, models before the mid-term facelift account for a large proportion. Today, we will conduct an in-depth analysis on the used cars of GAC Fick Jeep Guide. GAC Fick Jeep Guide completed domestic production and went on the market in December 2016. The appearance of the new car is very similar to the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the vehicle effect is very impressive. Among them, the front face of the car is equipped with a family-style seven-hole grille, which looks extremely recognizable visually. The side and tail design are also extremely tall, with a cross-country temperament. The interior design is also very rough, but the details of the materials used by the guide are very heavy, and the degree of modernization is relatively high. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.4T and 2.4L engine. The maximum power of the two is 165 horsepower and 175 horsepower, and the peak torque is 250 Nm and 228 Nm. The transmission system is matched with 6-speed manual and 7-speed dry. Type dual-clutch and 9AT automatic transmission. After that, two engines, 1.3T and 2.0L, were added to the 2019 models, with maximum power of 173 horsepower and 148 horsepower, peak torque of 270 Nm and 190 Nm, and the transmission system remained unchanged. After several minor facelifts, GAC Fick launched the mid-term facelifted Jeep Guide in December 2020. The overall appearance of the new car has not changed much, and adjustments have been made mainly to the light set and front bumper design. The most significant change in this new model is the interior. The newly developed interior looks more classy, and the center console has a more distinct styling. At the same time, the new car has also been upgraded to a suspended center control screen with a larger and larger size. Built-in the latest entertainment operating system. In terms of power, the new car is only equipped with a 1.3T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 173 horsepower and a peak torque of 270 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch and 9AT automatic transmission. At present, in the domestic second-hand car market, GAC Fick Jeep Guide only has one generation of models. As the mid-term change has just been completed, the market stock of models after the change is not large, and the models are still dominated by the models before the change. In addition, some of the 2017 and 2019 models of GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide comply with the National V emission standards. It is not a problem to get the license in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. On the whole, the 2017-2020 models are all in the range of options. 2. Market price analysis: 2017 models are relatively more cost-effective Under normal circumstances, when car products are iterative, the sale of old models has a large discount due to inventory clearance, and sometimes even the price of second-hand cars is “upside down”. So, what is the current second-hand car market of GAC Fick Jeep Guide? The car quality network integrated used car home, Guazi second-hand car and other second-hand car platform quotations, and comprehensively derived the market’s selling car source price range for consumers’ reference. Judging from the above-mentioned used car prices, the 2017 model is relatively cost-effective, and the used car price is about 50% of the guide price for the new car that year. The second-hand car prices of models after 2019 (inclusive) are still strong, and the selling price has exceeded 60% of the guide price for new cars that year. Compared with the current new car terminal preferential prices, the advantage is not obvious. Therefore, considering factors such as the appearance differences of iterative products, the price of second-hand cars, and the later use tax of vehicles and ships, the 2017 GAC Fick Jeep Guide second-hand car is more cost-effective. 3. Source analysis of second-hand cars: Most of the car sources in the southern region have the highest proportion of 2017 models When selecting second-hand cars, whether the car supply in the market is sufficient is also one of the key considerations for consumers. If the car supply is sufficient, on the one hand, consumers have more choices, on the other hand, it also increases the opportunities for further bargaining. And if the car source is relatively insufficient or very few, it may have a greater impact on whether consumers continue to buy the car. The car quality network refers to the data from the Guazi Second-hand Car and Second-hand Car Home platform, and the statistics show that the current 2017-2020 GAC Fick Jeep Guide’s national second-hand car source is: Guazi second-hand car release car source 176, one of the second-hand cars The company released 335 cars. From the perspective of the proportion, the 2017 models occupy the absolute main force in the market, the 2019 models also have a certain proportion, and the 2020 models account for a relatively small proportion. From the perspective of the distribution of second-hand car sources, the total amount of second-hand car sources of GAC Fick Jeep Guide in the six provinces of Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan, Shandong, Sichuan and Chongqing has reached more than 50% of the national total. Among them, models with a vehicle age of 2-3 years accounted for the highest proportion, and vehicles with a vehicle age of one and four years also accounted for a certain proportion, and models with a vehicle age of less than one year accounted for a small proportion. 4. Quality reputation analysis: Be careful to purchase 2017 dual-clutch gearboxes with relatively more failures Consumers often ignore the “original car manufacturing quality” factor when choosing a used car, but in fact this is a very important indicator when choosing a used car. To this end, the car quality network based on a large number of real car owners complaints, through professional data analysis, to evaluate the quality of GAC Fick Jeep guide products, find possible batch quality defects, and provide consumers with a more direct and effective reference. information. According to the statistics of the car quality network, from January to May 2021, the car quality network accepted a total of 47 complaints from GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide models, and the complaints mainly came from 2017 models. From the perspective of typical complaints, there are many gearbox-related problems, such as “gearbox abnormal noise” and so on. Through further analysis, it is known that most of the above-mentioned faults come from the 2017 dual-clutch models. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers pay attention to these issues when purchasing the above-mentioned models. On the whole, GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide has a relatively high complaint volume for the 2017 dual-clutch model, and the complaints for the other models of the year are kept at a low level, and there are no common defects, and the quality of reputation is relatively stable. 5. Analysis of the recall: A total of 4 recall records in China Judging from the data currently available, GAC Fick Jeep Guide issued a total of 4 recall announcements in China. Among them, the internal water resistance of the starter of the model produced from February 28, 2019 to December 23, 2019 is poor, which will cause the starter to fail to start or even short-circuit and catch fire. In addition, there is a problem with the power system control module software of the models produced from February 28, 2019 to July 25, 2019, which will cause the engine’s torque to decrease under certain conditions. In addition, there are two failures that have been recalled to varying degrees. Here, the car quality network should remind consumers that when buying a second-hand car, you need to call the manufacturer’s customer service or go to the 4S store to check whether the vehicle has been processed according to the recall plan before, so as to prevent the vehicle from still being “ill” on the road. Security risks. to sum up Through the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that when purchasing second-hand models of GAC Fick’s Jeep Guide, except for the 2017 dual-clutch model, which has relatively more complaints, you need to be cautious when purchasing, and all other models of the year are within the range of options. Based on various factors, the 2017 1.4T and 2.4L models with 9AT automatic transmissions have outstanding performance in terms of cost-effectiveness, market retention and quality reputation. It is recommended that they should be given priority when purchasing

Fairies fight! In June, a large number of blockbuster SUVs appeared on the market one after another, and I really wanted to buy it after seeing it

2021-06-27T05:45:05Z

If you pay attention to the dynamics of the auto market, you will find that the end of June is a medium (large) “fairy fight” schedule. Why? Almost all key new cars are swarming: Lynk & Co 09 debuted on 6.19, while Envision PLUS has been launched, Highlander and Lanjing will be launched within a week, and the relatively unpopular new Infiniti QX60 in China is also available. America shines. Why is this? Before answering this question, Brother Cha will take everyone to get to know these new cars. 01 Lynk & Co 09 The Lynk & Co 09, which has just completed its first show, is born out of the Volvo SPA architecture and built on the same platform as the XC90. It is positioned as a medium and large SUV and is the flagship of the Lynk & Co family. The starting price is expected to be around 250,000. The pre-sale will be launched at the end of August and will be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year. Although the outside world has different controversies about the front face of the Lynk & Co 09, Cha Ge’s first impression of the new car is very good. The front face should be the most daring place of the designer, with a new waterfall grille shape, and a decorative line is introduced in the lower part of the grille to create an atmospheric outline. In general, the appearance styles of the Lynk & Co 09 and Lynk & Co’s existing models are different, and they look more domineering and burly. Matrix LED headlights with follow-up function, floating roof, 21-inch wheels, four-exhaust on both sides; interior center console design is more technologically simple, and seats are also made of NAPPA material…all the design is to Zhizhihao The car moves closer. The body size is 5042/1977/1780mm, which is nearly 9cm longer than the Volvo XC90, and a 6-seater version is available. In terms of power, Lynk&Co 09 is equipped with Volvo’s same 2.0T turbocharged engine, providing two powertrains: 2.0T (48V) + 8AT and 2.0T PHEV + 8AT. Comments: Prior to this, the flagship of the Lynk & Co family has always been Lynk & Co 05. A compact coupe SUV cannot support the brand’s upward path. Lynk & Co needs a larger, more luxurious and intelligent SUV without reducing driving pleasure. To drive the brand to enter the 250,000-300,000 market, and compete with Explorer, Touron and even second-tier luxury brand SUVs. The Lynk&Co 09 is indeed equipped with a lot of luxury configurations, and the engine is the same as the XC90. Needless to say, the product is excellent. A good price can make this new car take off. But at this time, the question is, how to sell the XC90? 02 FAW-Volkswagen Landing Pre-sale price: 29.99-39.99 million Listing Date: 6.24 Lanjing is positioned as FAW-Volkswagen’s first medium and large SUV. It is also derived from Volkswagen’s MQB platform as Touron. It has a more burly body than Touron (5052/1989/1773), with a length, width and height of 5152 (5153)/2002/1795mm and a wheelbase. The 2980mm is the same as the Touron, so the long-distance advantage of the Lanjing is more reflected in the rear trunk. The Volkswagen Lanjing has a 6-seat and 7-seater version, which is also not available in the Touron. In terms of appearance, although many people say that the Lanjing is more fashionable and sporty, compared to the atmospheric front face of the current Tuang, Chage believes that the Lanjing is still relatively soft and conservative. The air intake grille and headlights adopt an integrated design, but 2 meters. The wide front of the car is more rounded, but the double-spoke chrome-plated trim strips penetrate into the rectangular headlights. Cha brother often sees the car owner adding the “TERAMONT” chrome-plated label on the front of the car, which shows that the rough and square shape is quite right. User’s taste. The floating roof should be a major feature of the environment. From the window to the back of the D-pillar designed at the corner, the through-type waistline design, the cockpit is large, the engine compartment appears short, and the thick tail. There is a sense of hierarchy. The new car is a bit like a Weiran MPV from the side and rear. Of course, the styling is derived from the Volkswagen SMV concept car. It is not surprising that the design is a bit cross-border. Like Tuon, the Volkswagen is equipped with a 2.0T high and low power engine or an imported 2.5T V6 engine. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 186Ps and 220Ps, and the peak i torque is 320Nm and 350Nm. As for the 2.5T V6 engine, the maximum power is 299Ps. 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, some models are also equipped with a four-wheel drive version. Comments: Lanjing is currently the largest SUV in the Volkswagen family. Of course, considering the purchase of medium and large SUVs, space is very important. There are often more than 5 people who just need consumer groups. Chage believes that Lanjing’s 2+2+2 layout is more practical. . However, there is the most successful Touron ahead. After Lanjing went public, it has fallen into the predicament of “hitting one’s own people”. It is still to broaden Volkswagen’s share of medium and large SUVs. It is really hard to say now, after all, there are consumers with this budget. , Many of them are relying on luxury brands.

“E car” Nezha car Zhang Yong’s battle book: in 2025, we will meet at the top

2021-06-27T02:55:07Z

“Nezha has never ushered in a bright moment like Wei Xiaoli.” More than a year ago, Zhang Yong, the co-founder and CEO of Nezha Automobile, accepted the gap between Nezha’s current and Weilai, ideals, and Xiaopeng in a forum. At that time, Nezha was still facing “to survive”. “The problem. After a lapse of one year, Nezha finally achieved a breakthrough in the newly created car companies. Recently, Nezha Automobile released three cars at the Beijing Hezhong Automobile Design Center. Among them, two cars are in our knowledge and one is a children’s car. After the debut of the baby car, it achieved unexpected effects. It not only became the C-seat model of the day, but also triggered a series of topical effects. The dads and mothers in the circle of friends expressed that they wanted to give it to their own babies. Obviously, Nezha Automobile hopes to bring the brand and its users closer through this kind of children’s car, and to bring the relationship between the two parties closer. Behind this meaning, Nezha Automobile also revealed a deeper message: Nezha Automobile will also be committed to becoming a user-driven enterprise. At present, Nezha has also entered the stage of “live beautifully” from “living”. However, it is worth noting that the “user-based enterprise” emphasized by Nezha Auto is not “doing a good job in user operation from the service side” done by other companies, but “being absorbed from the product side”. The three newly launched cars are the best interpretation of this concept. According to Zhang Yong, the first batch of user-defined series models Nezha V Co-sport Magic Edition, Nezha V Co-loli Magic Edition, Nezha Co-kids magic boy version came into being. 1 Just like the design inspiration of the Audi A7 comes from a yacht, every car has a story or a character behind it. Most of these stories are beautiful, and most of the characters have a certain status in the automotive industry. However, among the three latest models of Nezha Motors, the magic version of Nezha V Co-sport comes from users who think that they have a racing driver’s license. He thinks such cars will look good. The new car is priced at 76,900 yuan; The Nezha Co-loli Witch Edition was launched because a Nezha V user wanted to put a pink film on his car, and also specially displayed a lipstick color in the community. She felt that the color was very suitable for her, the new car The price is 72,900 yuan; The user-driven version of Nezha Co-kids is more pure, because many users expressed their preference for a children’s car displayed by a designer in the community, hoping to mass-produce, the new car is priced at 2,999 yuan, which is also known as “Mengbab’s first electric car”. These stories seem ordinary, but behind it is how much Nezha car attaches importance to the user’s voice. Zhang Yong said that allowing users to participate in product definition is the core of Nezha’s user model. Nezha Automobile, which has been in existence for 7 years, finally found a way of its own in the groping. There is a key word in the product design source: community. Zhang Yong revealed that Nezha’s sales reached 4,508 in May this year, and May 10 happened to be the day when the 40,000th car rolled off the assembly line. At the same time, he also revealed that based on the current situation, Nezha’s sales in June will continue to increase, but due to the limitation of insufficient chip supply, delivery pressure is relatively high. This reveals two pieces of information to us: one is that if there is no chip problem, Nezha’s delivery data should be better; the other is that Nezha already has a certain user base. At present, Nezha Automobile’s main vehicle model is Nezha V. There are currently 20,000 users, and a large number of car-machine interactions are generated every day. There are also many users socializing in the community. Zhang Yong said, “These user interactions The data has helped us a lot. Even the names of our users’ fans are chosen from them. In the future, our users will be called “Nati”, and our user community will be called “Nati Universe.” According to Zhang Yong, in the past period of time, Nezha received more than 65,000 product suggestions, and they carefully studied each of them and launched new products based on them. At this point, Zhang Yong believes that this is far from enough. Not only must people participate, but also the “Nike” that participates will be profitable. Nezha hopes that everyone uses, everyone participates, everyone interacts, and everyone benefits. He said, “We launched the first phase of a user fund worth 100 million yuan, soliciting users’ ideas and suggestions, and inviting users to define our products and services, and the fund will give back to you in the next 18 months.” In Zhang Yong’s opinion, this is the most practical way. He emphasized that Nezha Auto is a user company, and their slogan is “People’s cars, people make them.” Anyone who has followed Nezha Motors before knows that, compared with the low-key in the past, this time Zhang Yong and Nezha suddenly stood on the stage of the industry with their heads high, and they looked a little more confident. We all know that once a low-key person starts to become a high-profile person, it means that he has sufficient strength and confidence to prove himself, and the same is true for Zhang Yong and Nezha. 2 Nezha’s luck comes from its own efforts. This sentence seems to be a cliché, but all beings are equal before the opportunity, and only those who can really seize it will be considered lucky. The automotive industry in 2021 will start from a “core shortage”. In this context, the new energy automotive market will further accelerate fission. In March of this year, the retail ratio of new energy vehicles exceeded 10% for the first time, which means that the development of new energy vehicles has entered a turning point period. Especially for newly created auto companies with a short brand history, many changes are quietly undergoing. According to the data disclosed by the three companies, Weilai, Ideal, and Xiaopeng, the cumulative delivery volume in the first five months of this year has approached their delivery volume for the whole year of last year. Among them, Nezha Automobile is particularly eye-catching. In May of this year, Nezha’s year-on-year increase reached 551%, which has surpassed the ideal car in terms of volume. Also in May, Zhou Hongt, founder and chairman of 360 Group, announced that 360 Group would invest in Nezha Auto. After all the investment is completed, the group will become Nezha Auto’s second largest shareholder, and said that the two parties will negotiate at the capital level in the early stage. Cooperation in the field of information security for smart cars has emerged. As the founder of an Internet company, Zhou Hongt brought his own personality charm to Nezha cars. The characteristics of loving the spotlight and like talking in the crowd have gradually penetrated into Nezha cars. Of course, 360’s empowerment is only one of the reasons. At present, Nezha Motors is on the rise, and the high-profile capital comes from the increase in its own delivery. In the face of sales surpassing ideals, Zhang Yong returned to his original humility. He believes that a short one-month surpass has no practical significance. Nezha’s user group is more popular. According to this logic, Nezha The sales volume is three times the ideal to be said to be better than him. Zhang Yong compares Nezha to the car industry’s Xiaomi, first collect users with super cost-effective products, and then achieve brand improvement, “always committed to making popular products intelligent and high-end products popular.” At the same time, there is no “label” in the face. To this question, Zhang Yong said that it is too early to talk about who is more advanced, who is smarter, and who is more distinctive. The final answer has to wait until 2025. With a specific time node, Nezha already has a detailed goal. By 2025, Nezha has set up a three-stage goal for itself. First, it does not rely on traditional channel distribution and accumulation, but only rely on core services and sales capabilities to achieve monthly sales of 10,000 vehicles, followed by 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. An electric car was launched in the high-level market and entered the main battlefield of fuel vehicles. Finally, by 2025, Nezha’s annual cumulative sales will reach 400,000 to 500,000. “Only after 400,000 to 500,000 units can we say that a real systematic ability has been formed, and the scale, supply chain system, sales system, product research and development capabilities, including user-oriented enterprises, can be truly established.” Why is it 40? ~500,000 vehicles, Zhang Yong also gave his own interpretation. A clear understanding of the market, precise positioning of users, and a clear plan for the future development of the company are the fundamental confidence that Nezha Automobile has gradually high-profile. 3 Nezha Automobile has experienced a lot in the years since its establishment. After going through the sails, Zhang Yong has developed a lot of understanding. “First, you must have ambitious goals, and your goals must be clear. Second, after you set your goals, look at the front three feet. , Don’t look too far, otherwise you will be desperate. You look like your friends and businessmen around you are very powerful, so you can do your own thing well. You don’t have to look forward and backward, hesitate, or be afraid of this fear. Well, you ran forward and ran, and after a while, there were not many people around.” At present, Nezha Automobile has found its own position in the market, and it has also found a direction to break the ceiling of the industry. We still don’t know what surprises Nezha can bring to users and the market in the future, but it suddenly occurred to me that the proposition of the Beijing college entrance examination composition last year can describe our attitude towards Nezha at this time-the era chooses you, you Achieve an era. end Reporter | Liu Yingnan Edit | Uncle Thirteen

After 66 years and 15 generations, the crown has returned between inheritance and reform

2021-06-27T00:05:04Z

Crown CROWN has a history of 66 years and 15 generations. As a classic representative of Japanese cars, it demonstrates an Eastern car-making philosophy. Its high quality, reliability and high comfort have won the crowd of consumers. It can be said that Crown CROWN has constructed the brand belief of the Chinese people. Today, the first SUV “Crown Lufang” under the “Crown CROWN brand” has returned with a new platform and a new look. Crown Lufang is positioned as FAW Toyota’s high-end flagship SUV. Thanks to the advantages of the TNGA-K platform, Crown Lufang has comprehensively improved the appearance design, interior quality and powertrain. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has been reborn. The products are not only sedans, but also cover independent brands of SUVs and MPVs, etc. In the future, Wilfa models will also use the Crown LOGO. The youthful appearance makes Crown Lufang attract a large number of young consumer groups. Under the dynamic and atmospheric appearance, the new powertrain is also a major improvement. Toyota is the leader in the field of hybrid electric power, with the blessing of Toyota’s new-generation HEV system. The 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine of Toyota’s fourth-generation hybrid system has a thermal efficiency of 41% and a more linear power output. , More smoothly, can be summed up with a simple word: that is calm. Don’t worry about insufficient power or high fuel consumption. In addition, the Crown Landing is equipped with the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system. All you need is to concentrate on driving, and the other is left to Crown Landing. The 7-seat layout of 2+2+3 is flexible and changeable. Whether it is a two-child family or even a three-child family, multi-occupant travel can be easily realized in front of Crown Land Plaza. Why does the word “crown” give rise to a sense of high-level? That’s because there is a set of “Crown Standards.” The Crown Lufang is based on this set of Toyota’s top quality standards: more than 2,000 strict quality inspections; Toyota Global Quality Audit (SQA) “0 Bad” pass rate; simulation of high temperature and cold environment, extreme road conditions; The high-level sense of driving of a car is inseparable from the excellence of NVH. Crown Land puts high-efficiency sound insulation glass and soundproof materials; the addition of polymer vibration damping materials and vibration isolation materials makes it quiet to drive. Therefore, every Crown Lufang is a fine workmanship of the “Crown Standard”. This is where the model with the Crown logo is different from other models. Whether a car is comfortable or not depends on the tuning in many places. For example, Crown Land optimizes the steering wheel angle and pedal position to give the driver a more comfortable driving posture. The chassis adopts a flat aerodynamic bottom cover, the coverage area is expanded by 25%, and the wind resistance is effectively reduced. At the same time, the vehicle adopts a front Macpherson + rear double-wishbone suspension combination that takes into account both comfort and support, which effectively reduces the body roll phenomenon when the vehicle is cornering at high speed. In terms of safety that consumers are increasingly concerned about, the TNGA high-rigidity car body has improved the torsional stiffness of the car body by more than 60% through a new ring structure, a new sturdy new joint structure, and methods such as increasing the welding position and optimizing the welding position. At the same time, in order to improve the collision safety of the vehicle, the body frame uses hot stamping materials with a tensile strength of up to 1500MPa; the impact of the frontal collision is distributed to the entire passenger compartment through the lower crossbeam of the instrument panel to protect the occupants. In addition, in order to obtain a good driving field of vision, the position of the engine hood, front windshield glass, and rearview mirror has been optimized during vehicle design, which greatly reduces blind spots in the field of vision. Since the 1950s, Toyota has used its own technology to create the first generation of “Crown CROWN”, which combines the latest design concepts and many cutting-edge technologies to establish its unusual high-end position. The first generation “Crown CROWN” Since then, each update iteration of “Crown CROWN” has its special meaning. The second-generation Crown “CROWNEIGHT” became the prototype of the Toyota Century, a member of the Japanese royal family; the third-generation “Crown CROWN” opened the high-end private car market for the first time, allowing ordinary people to enjoy a happy and high-quality life; the fifth-generation “Crown” “CROWN” is equipped with an electronic injection engine and the world’s first 4AT gearbox for the first time, raising the powertrain of a car to a whole new level; entering the millennium, the eleventh generation of “Crown CROWN” relies on the layout of front and rear drive. , To maximize the driving performance of the vehicle… It can be said that each generation of “Crown CROWN” has become the dream car of generations of consumers while creating one classic after another. The eighth generation “Crown CROWN” For Chinese consumers, it is also the “Crown CROWN” that really arouses people’s awareness and yearning for “luxury cars”. Especially in the 1980s, the “Crown 3.0” (eighth-generation JZS133 series) with gold standard configuration became synonymous with Japanese luxury, and it was a household name. In the early 1990s, the Toyota brand accounted for 37% of the 6,800 Japanese cars imported by China every month, and the Crown accounted for 24%, which shows its position in the high-end car market in China. The twelfth generation “Crown CROWN” In 2005, the twelfth-generation “Crown CROWN” was produced domestically by FAW Toyota. With its leading technology, quiet and comfortable driving experience and unique quality, it was once again sought after by the Chinese and far more popular than other luxury brands.

How competitive is the new generation of Highlander from 268,800? Which model to buy is cost-effective?

2021-06-26T21:15:10Z

If you have to choose the best model among medium-sized SUVs, maybe everyone has their own answer, but if you want to choose a benchmark for medium-sized SUVs, then it is right that Highlander has not run. Even in the face of a replacement, the prices of current models are still “firm”, which is really compelling. Recently, a new generation of Highlander finally went on the market. The official guide price is 268,800-348,800. A total of 6 models have been launched, of which three are two-wheel drive models and three are four-wheel drive models, all equipped with 2.5L hybrid power. So how much has the product power of the new car improved? Which model is most worth choosing? Let’s take a try today! Get to know the new car quickly The new generation of Highlander is based on Toyota’s TNGA-K platform and has undergone all-round upgrades in terms of appearance, interior decoration and power. Although the overall design still retains the burly feel of the cash, the adjustment of the details still makes the new generation of Highlander younger. The front face adopts a trapezoidal air intake grille. The interior of the grille is embellished with black honeycomb elements. The Toyota LOGO is connected with flying-wing chrome trim, plus raised multi-eye LED headlights and externally expanded The fog lamp frame, after being dressed up like this, is somewhat far away from the feeling of a rough man in the past. The side of the body has not changed much, the black A-pillar design, the exterior rearview mirror adopts a two-color design, and the bottom is equipped with multi-spoke bright silver aluminum alloy wheels. Both the sense of refinement and the degree of luxury are greatly compared to the current models. The promotion. There is also a waist line running through the door handle, and there is also a fold line decoration at the bottom of the door, which makes the overall side look more integrated. The rear part of the car has also been redesigned, and the overall shape echoes the front of the car. Although the current mainstream through-type taillight design style is not adopted, the shape is long and narrow but the taillights bulge outward, presenting a more three-dimensional visual effect. Open the door and enter the car, you can find that the entire interior basically continues the design of the American version, and the overall functional layout is not much different from the cash. The center console is also made of two-color splicing and mixing. Although the full LCD instrument panel and large-size central control screen are no longer novelties, this appearance on Highlander can be said to be a qualitative leap, and it is worth celebrating. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Highlander are 4965/1930/1750mm respectively, and the wheelbase has reached 2850mm. Compared with the current model, the length has increased by 75mm, the width has increased by 5mm, the height has increased by 30mm, and the wheelbase has increased by 60mm. . As for the actual space experience, I have briefly experienced it in the 4S store before. The general feeling is that the seats of the new Highlander are wide, and the comfort of the first two rows of seats is good, but the third row is more cramped, but It is also above the mainstream level of the same level. In the power section, the new car currently only carries a 2.5L hybrid system. The powertrain consists of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and the fourth-generation enhanced THS II Toyota hybrid system. The maximum power of the engine is 141kW. The comprehensive power reaches 183kW. The transmission part adopts E-CVT gearbox, and there are also four-wheel drive models, equipped with a brand-new E-Four electronically controlled four-wheel drive system, adopting the design of front and rear axle dual drive motors, which can realize the adjustment of the front and rear axle driving force 100:0-20:80 . The official comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.1L/100km. It is not difficult to speculate that the new Highlander can achieve 1000km of battery life with a full tank of fuel. The premium version is the most cost-effective The new generation of Highlander launched a total of 6 models, three are two-wheel drive models, the price range is 268,800-318,800 yuan; three are four-wheel drive models, the price range is 285,800-348,800 yuan. Let’s first take a look at the two-wheel drive models. First of all, the five-seat two-wheel drive elite version of the full range of entry-level models. The official guide price is 268,800 yuan. From the configuration point of view, the overall configuration of this model is not rich, even the reversing radar/reversing image and other configurations are missing. If there are no surprises, then there is a high probability that it will only play a role in lowering the overall price, and the output should be relatively small in the future. Then the second-lowest two-wheel drive elite version of the 7-seat model, the official guide price is 274,800 yuan, which is 6,000 yuan more expensive than the two-wheel drive elite version of the 5-seat model, but from the configuration point of view, it is simply an increase of the third row of seats. The chair, which has been expanded from a 5-seater to a 7-seater version, is still not very cost-effective. The last is the top model of the two-wheel drive version, with an official guide price of 318,800 yuan. Compared with the 7-seater two-wheel drive elite model, although it is a lot more expensive, the overall configuration is relatively rich: TSS active safety, panoramic sunroof, leather seats/steering wheel, 12.3-inch central control screen, HUD Head-up display, electric rear lights, electric seats with heating function, voice control, rear privacy glass, rear-view mirror electric folding, 8 radars in the whole car, etc., are all equipped. Therefore, if you don’t have a four-wheel drive requirement, then for two-wheel drive models, the most cost-effective model is definitely the two-wheel drive premium version. After talking about the two-wheel drive model, let’s take a look at the four-wheel drive model. The first is the four-wheel drive elite version, the official guide price is 285,800 yuan. From the configuration point of view, in fact, the two-wheel-drive elite model has added a set of electric four-wheel-drive system, and the price is 11,000 yuan more expensive. On the whole, it is not good enough, and it is not cost-effective. Followed by the four-wheel drive premium model, the official guide price is 329,800 yuan. From the configuration point of view, it can basically be regarded as a two-wheel drive premium model. On the basis of a two-wheel drive model, an additional electric four-wheel drive system is spent 11,000 yuan. If there is a four-wheel drive demand, the price/performance ratio is still quite good. As the top model of the entire series, the official guide price has gone to 348,800 yuan, but the increase in the configuration is actually not that much, and the practicality and frequency of use of most of the configurations should not be too high, so Unless your budget is quite sufficient, it is really not recommended to choose. On the whole, the most cost-effective model of the new generation of Highlander is the premium version. The specific choice depends on whether you have a four-wheel drive requirement. If not, choose a two-wheel drive, and if you have one, you can add money to a four-wheel drive. How competitive is it at the same level? Through the previous configuration analysis, it is not difficult for us to find that if there are no accidents, the premium version will most likely be one of Highlander’s help sales models in the future. Although the overall price/performance ratio is quite good, it basically shows that the main competitive range for Highlander in the future is more than 300,000 yuan. Although the new generation of Highlander is positioned as only a medium-sized SUV, from the perspective of the price range, it has already formed a competitive relationship with a group of medium and large SUVs such as Tuon, Angkeqi, Ford Explorer, and even Q5L, XC60, XT6 and other models. Will become the rival of Highlander. And for the “Golden Sign” of the Highlander, Toyota is still a “chicken thief”. After the new Highlander is launched, the old Highlander will not be discontinued, but will adopt the strategy of selling new and old together. To seize the market, it is obvious that we also want to let the medium and medium-sized SUV market not let go. However, compared with its rivals, the advantages and disadvantages of the new Highlander are obvious. First of all, the Highlander is already at a disadvantage in terms of size and mass compared to medium and large SUVs such as Angke Qi and Explorer. Secondly, compared with Q5L, XT6 and other models, in terms of brand power, as an ordinary brand, Toyota will inevitably be inferior to luxury brands. However, Highlander’s biggest advantage lies in the TNGA architecture and 2.5L hybrid system. These two clubs are currently at the same level, and their competitiveness is quite good. to sum up On the whole, the new Highlander is still a “bucket” model. Although the market is now fiercely competitive, the “golden sign” of Highlander is still very fierce. In addition to Volkswagen, Toyota also understands the Chinese well. Of course, no one can say what the specific sales will be. After all, there are many people who blow Highlander to the sky, and many people slander it. Everything depends on the performance of the market. Just according to the situation learned from 4S before, now the new Highlander needs to be queued for half a year, ah

Which car is more recommended by BYD Tang DMI or DM?Brother Meow takes you to experience the comparison of real cars

2021-06-26T15:35:06Z

When Brother Miao was broadcasting live, I often consulted with friends as to whether to buy BYD Tang whether to choose Tang DM or BYD DMI. At the end of last year, Brother Miao drove the Yadi Tang DM around Shenxianling. My impression of Tang DM’s entire car experience was quite good, especially the 4.3 power. Some time ago, I was fortunate enough to experience a BYD Don DMI. From the test drive of these two cars, Brother Miao will share with you my suggestions for choosing these two cars. First of all, the power angle. The design direction of Tang DM and Tang DMI are different. Tang DM cares more about power. The total torque is more than 800 Nm, which is very powerful. The whole design of BYD Tang DMI is biased towards home, Tang DM is an aunt, and the aunt is strong and passionate. Tang DMI is a more mature and stable middle-aged uncle, so when something happens, the uncle’s self-sustaining ability is stronger. So when we consider these two cars, we must choose according to the actual car you use. If the purpose of buying it is to pursue a 4.3-hundred-kilometer acceleration, then you can choose Tang DM without hesitation. But if you just want to buy an all-rounder family car, you are looking for a mature and stable appearance, low fuel consumption, and large space, then Brother Meow recommends Tang DMI. Secondly, the price of Tang DM is tens of thousands more expensive than Tang DMI, so from the perspective of diligence and thrift, Brother Miao prefers the relatively cheap and cost-effective Tang DMI. Although its brakes and acceleration performance are good, it is indeed not as strong as Tang DM in all aspects, but if we choose the car as a family car, in fact, the configuration of Tang DMI can fully meet the daily use. The third point is the subsequent cost of using the car. BYD Tang DMI’s hybrid technology is currently BYD’s super hybrid. Even if it drives more than 1,000 kilometers, the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers in the state of power loss is more than 5 liters and less than 6 liters. If you choose a long battery life version of more than 100 kilometers, and it is very convenient to charge in your home, you can install charging piles directly at your home. The commuting distance of a second-tier city like ours in Changsha is only a dozen kilometers a day, and you may refuel twice a year. It’s more than enough. BYD Tang DMI can run 1,000 kilometers when it is full of fuel and electricity. Even if it is a short self-driving tour on weekends, because it is a hybrid model, it will not be as useful as a pure electric car. After all, it can be charged with oil when it is out of power, and it can also be externally discharged. Just like Tang DM, it can even be used for picnics in the wild through external discharge. This is completely achievable. As for the interior and space, including the 7-seat version, there is no essential change or difference between Tang DM and Tang DMI. In terms of tires, although Tang DMI’s overall tire size, brand selection and orientation are not as good as Tang DM, in actual use of the car, because Tang DM tires are relatively low and flat, it is very difficult for the tires to rub against the road teeth. It is easy to bulge and break easily. When changing tires, you will find that this car is painful to use. So from these perspectives, if you buy Tang for home use only, you don’t want to go out to run on the track, you don’t want to go out for drag racing, and you don’t have a high pursuit of 100 kilometers acceleration, then Brother Meow thinks that Tang DMI is on the contrary. It is more realistic, because the price is tens of thousands cheaper than Tang DM.

The French B-class Peugeot 508L brings you a racing driving experience

2021-06-26T12:45:04Z

“Fast and Furious” 9 has been released for a while, and the total box office has reached a terrifying 900 million. Fans’ obsession with the film is not only the addictive fighting scenes, but also the pictures of the protagonists driving. Most people do not want to own such a car, so that their lives are full of speed and passion. The model I will introduce to you today, although it does not have the performance of the racing class in the movie, it can also bring a qualitative improvement to your driving experience. It is the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L. Why is Don’s car omnipotent? Car power is the key. Although it does not have the “natural power” and various nitrogen boosters like the racing car in the movie, the power of the Peugeot 508L is absolutely outstanding in the same level. The 400THP version of Peugeot 508L is equipped with a 1.8T engine, equipped with an Aisin 8AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 211 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. This data performs well in turbines of the same displacement. It is worth noting that the power performance of Peugeot 508L is not limited to the output of the front stage, but while ensuring the acceleration in the early stage, it also takes into account the acceleration in the middle and rear stages. The 8AT gearbox will control the engine speed at about 3000 rpm and try to stay within the range of the maximum torque speed. More aggressive power tuning allows Peugeot 508L to exit corners at a faster speed. In addition, mountain road racing and commuting scenes have different emphasis on power. In mountain racing, the vehicle has more stringent requirements for the power connection of the transmission and the logic of shifting up and down, and the Aisin 8AT used by the Peugeot 508L can understand the driver’s intention very cleverly. Take a stroll in the garden, suspension is the key In the “Fast and Furious” series of films, the modification of the suspension is a project that both pros and villains are passionate about. When faced with complex mountain road conditions such as hairpin bends, the vehicle chassis is extremely important, and sufficient support must be provided to ensure high-speed cornering. The rear frame design of the Peugeot 508L is derived from the Peugeot 407. At the beginning of the design, it used the BMW 3 Series as the performance benchmark for sporty rear-wheel drive vehicles. The rear shock absorber and the upper end of the spring are connected to the sub-frame, which greatly improves the rigidity of the chassis. In terms of technology, all-aluminum casting is used to reduce weight while also taking into account high rigidity. The layout of the shock absorber is also very similar to the putter layout on a racing car. The angle between the shock absorber and the chassis is about 45 degrees, which can effectively support the lateral force during high-speed cornering. The subsequent five-link suspension is also unsurpassed in the same class. One of the five links is connected to the body and four are connected to the sub-frame. There are a total of 16 bushings between the entire rear suspension and the body. Filtering vibrations makes the chassis of Peugeot 508L far more solid and compact than ordinary cars in the same class. With such a high-strength and lightweight setting, even complicated hairpin bends, U-shaped bends, and continuous S-shaped bends can be easily resolved under the suspension system of the Peugeot 508L. Because of this, the Peugeot 508L can turn corners at a higher speed than the same class and smoothly intercept the traversing aircraft. Precise guidance, steering is the key In addition to power and chassis suspension, another point that is easy to overlook is the precise steering of the Peugeot 508L. Generally, for family cars, the steering setting of the steering wheel will inevitably have a margin of vacancy. For daily driving, the steering vacant position within a certain range is tolerable, but for racetracks and mountain roads that test vehicle performance, a slight vacant position may cause the driver to misjudge and fail to run the fastest cornering route. . The precise steering of Peugeot 508L truly interprets the strength of “referring to where to play”. Whether it’s persistent high-efficiency power, high-strength suspension, or precise steering that can be “precisely guided”, the success of the Peugeot 508L to intercept the traversing aircraft seems unexpected, but it is indeed reasonable. Even if you can’t own an off-road racing car in “Fast and Furious”, you can own a Peugeot 508L in life. On the Peugeot 508L, what we see is not only the beautiful appearance, but also the driving The improvement of experience. In this hot summer, Dongfeng Peugeot 508L can definitely bring changes to your daily life

The headquarters of “e-car” Jikrypton landed in Ningbo, and the layout of “Great Geely” began to run wild

2021-06-26T09:55:05Z

Things always go through, and there is time to give the most standard answer. The same is true for the automotive industry. As early as 2020, the consensus of the auto industry on the new forces of car building is: the “window period” is closing, and there is not much time left for the “new forces”. But time can best explain the problem. In 2021, it seems that this “window period” has not been closed; on the contrary, it has been broken into by stronger players. Before and after the Xiaomi car made a strong debut, and then there is a most noteworthy brand-Jikrypton car. But in the circle of the so-called “new forces”, Jikrypton looks a little different. The difference between Extreme Krypton lies in its capital and technological strength. It has a deeper understanding of the industry; of course, it lies more in speed. On March 23, Geely announced the official establishment of JiKr Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.; a week later, JiKr LOGO and the first mass-produced model ZEEKR 001 will be officially unveiled; on April 15, JiKr Intelligent Technology released its new brand JiKr ZEEKR and ZEEKR 001 reservations are also opened simultaneously. In just three weeks, from the company to the brand to the model, Gekko made a perfect debut, and its speed was staggering. Now, there is another news from Jikr: The global headquarters has officially landed in Ningbo. The gold content of extremely krypton In fact, the very krypton brand has a golden key since its birth. Why do you say that? Because Geely can be said to be dedicated to the extremely krypton brand, the reason is very simple, this track is not allowed to try, and there is no way out. Backed by Geely, Geely Krypton, from the beginning, not from scratch, sitting on the global resource synergy of Geely, origin is a high starting point, for Geely Krypton how to better integrate internal resources is more important. Therefore, the real test is the transformation of the new company’s organizational system-because the new electric vehicle products are not difficult, but a matching organizational decision-making system that can quickly adapt to demand is the “acceleration” that really determines this product. “. With the upstarts of electric vehicles such as Tesla, Weilai, Xiaopeng, Ideal and other domestic and foreign electric vehicles seizing the minds of users and market opportunities, the challenge of the market is not only product competition, but also for the extremely krypton born out of traditional car companies. It is a rivalry on the organizational system. Fortunately, Jikrypton also thought of this level and did it. The appointment of Li Shufu as chairman and An Conghui as CEO in person means that Jikrypton has been placed in Geely’s head strategy. There are three hidden messages here: 1. Geely has no reservations about the promotion of Krypton. This is of course a company that crosses the river by feeling the stones, but it is also a project that Geely has no plans to fail. An Conghui personally manages it. Krypton will certainly get it at the level of company resources. With the greatest support, the process will be the smoothest; 2. Geely Auto’s attitude towards future auto companies is still long-termism. Although innovative thinking is the driving force of new auto companies, long-termism is still the pillar philosophy in the upgraded industry. An Conghui is one of the best long-distance runners in China’s auto industry, and the ultra-krypton car he manages will inevitably advance along the long-termist route. 3. After the rapid development of the company in the past five years, Geely Auto’s senior executives represented by An Conghui still have an aggressive development thinking. This aggressive thinking mode will inevitably be brought to the extreme. . Such a high starting point and organizational system allows extremely krypton products to quickly get feedback from the market. Of course, the effect is also very obvious. Up to now, the order for the first model of the Jikrypton brand, ZEEKR 001, has exceeded expectations, reflecting the attention and recognition of the market and users, and has become the hottest model in the high-end smart pure electric market. The data best reflects the facts: On June 15th, Jikrypton announced that all deliverable orders for 2021 had been sold out. The average order value of ZEEKR 001 Dading users exceeded 335,000, reaching the level of a luxury brand. This means that Super Krypton quickly passed the start-up period that a brand must go through, came to the rapid growth period, and quickly opened the market with high quality and high quality, and with its own strength, changed the current pattern of pure electric vehicles. People: the “internal drive” of auspicious In the author’s opinion, Jikrypton has created a travel ecology, but more importantly, Geely, including Jikrypton, fully values the power of “people”. Becoming friends with users and employees is the core of Dajili’s spirit. Taking Jikrypton as an example, in addition to An Conghui’s personal management of the entire group’s efforts, and a cash injection of 2 billion yuan, compared with other car companies, it is reported that Jikrypton will set up an innovative ownership structure to give employees and users the ownership of the company. Sense, this is exactly a strategic change in the system. For example, JiKr has designed a brand-new user rights plan to give users the opportunity to share the benefits of the company’s value growth with the company’s shareholders. This kind of user-centered and employee-centered open culture and organizational structure. Not only can it be zero distance with users, but also can maximize the potential of employees, realize a true user-oriented enterprise, and create the most critical innovation energy. This is also reflected in the “Common Wealth Plan” launched by Geely in Ningbo during the same period. Taking Ningbo as the pioneering point of the pilot demonstration zone, Geely will carry out a series of employee care activities, involving a series of measures such as employee income enhancement stock ownership plan, vocational education and development, children’s enrollment, family medical insurance, welfare house purchase and car purchase, cultural and sports facilities construction, etc. . The life of employees is guaranteed in all-round and multi-dimensional ways. At the same time, as a leading enterprise in Ningbo, Geely’s approach has further promoted the socio-economic development of Ningbo. In fact, Geely’s approach is not accidental. As early as 2017, Geely Holding Group has established life risk protection for more than 60,000 employees and 120,000 family members from all over the country-a comprehensive commercial insurance system to help employees And its families avoid or reduce the economic and mental stress and risks caused by accidents and diseases, solve the worries of employees, enhance the experience and happiness of employees and families, and enhance corporate cohesion. Thanks to Geely’s efforts, Geely male employees, who are the backbone of the family, received 200,000 yuan of medical support after they fell ill; Geely dual employees who need to drive dozens of kilometers to pick up and drop off their children every day can put their children in Geely’s own Ningbo Beilun. In the Sunleigh Kindergarten. The benefits provided by Geely to employees do not stop there. Since 2004, Geely has provided welfare housing for employees through self-construction and cooperation; within two years, Geely has organized more than 45,000 talent training sessions, and more than 1.47 million people have improved their abilities and professional skills through training. There must be a good corporate culture before a good company. This kind of idea is internalized in Geely’s idea, which is to respect people, achieve people, and be happy people. This is the human resource approach that Geely has followed for the past 21 years. Nowadays, Geely’s emphasis on people is feeding back to Geely, and it has also become a powerful “internal drive” for Geely. Write at the end Li Shufu once said: “A new track in the automotive industry has begun to be built, and a new marathon has started. There is no end, there is only the beginning, there is no way, only the direction.” However, we seem to have seen from the rapid landing and decisive strategy of Ultra Krypton that in the future, Ultra Krypton not only wants to win applause in the industry competition, but also hopes to open a new track for car building; and the applause that Geely wants to get is also It is not only in the extreme krypton. Starting from the “Total Prosperity Plan”, the layout of great auspiciousness has already faced the future and rushed forward. end Reporter | Liliman Edit | Uncle Thirteen

Tesla AI director reveals the pure vision system: radar is just a crutch

2021-06-26T07:05:06Z

Pay attention to the video number, find more exciting In the process of developing Tesla’s autopilot function, Elon Musk did not use on-board radar. A few days ago, the head of Tesla’s artificial intelligence explained the reason at a meeting. He said that the vision system developed by Tesla can completely replace other sensors. Electric car manufacturer Tesla has its own unique way of developing autonomous driving functions. In a speech at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference, Andrej Karpathy, Tesla’s senior director of artificial intelligence, explained the specific reasons. The current autonomous driving function is actually the sum of all personal safety systems in today’s cars. Many new cars are equipped with functions such as automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and prevention of accidental accelerator pedaling. The main challenge facing automakers is to integrate all these functions into a system that is more effective and reliable than humans. The first problem is perception. The vehicle must be able to understand the surrounding conditions in order for these subsystems to function at the right time. Vehicle perception is also the biggest difference between Tesla and other automakers. Musk recently chose not to install radar sensors in Tesla cars, but chose to install only optical cameras to sense changes in the surrounding environment. All other automakers use optical cameras, on-board radars, and lidars to collect environmental data. Because lidar is expensive, it is relatively rare; and car manufacturers have widely adopted low-cost vehicle-mounted radars. “The radar is just a crutch,” Andrej Karpathy said at the conference. Automakers usually use on-board radar to measure relative speed and distance, but Tesla believes that optical cameras can also do the same. The difference between the on-board radar and the optical camera actually affects the perfection of Tesla’s autopilot function, so Tesla decided to focus on improving the camera system. Capaci said: “The vision system we have built in the past few years is very good and can leave other sensors far behind.” After perceiving or collecting environmental data, it starts to calculate and make decisions. Most of the content of Capaci’s speech was about Tesla’s artificial intelligence and computers. These sound quite complicated. If you are not familiar with professional terms such as three-dimensional convolution, sensor fusion, neural network, etc., then you have no way to understand Tesla’s decision-making methods. Capaci did not explain what Tesla has achieved compared to other companies in the field of autonomous driving. Auto parts and technology provider Aptiv has already traveled billions of kilometers in actual and simulated driving through advanced safety systems. Aptiv also has thousands of safety engineers and can directly provide any car manufacturer with an assisted driving system similar to Tesla’s Autopilot. But the company rarely talks about details. However, Tesla may have the advantage of scale. The company already has millions of electric vehicles available for testing, and vehicles that have already been sold are constantly learning to test. Capaci said that Tesla’s neural network works in a “shadow mode” on Tesla vehicles, predicting what the driver will do in the background, and enhancing the robustness of the autonomous driving software. Tesla CEO Musk said in the third quarter of 2020 that fully autonomous driving technology will achieve “the largest asset value increase in history.” For example, he said, self-driving cars can drive other people around when the owner is working or sleeping, so as to make money for the owner. Recent analysis estimates that Tesla’s current stock price is US$650, of which US$100 to US$200 are based on Tesla’s expectations that it will provide drivers with a higher level of autonomous driving functions before the end of this year. If Tesla can make real progress in demonstrating the safety of the autonomous driving system, other auto companies may compete to imitate Tesla and promote their own autonomous driving features. A huge innovation field and potential source of profit will emerge from this. However, investors seem to be waiting for concrete progress at the moment. Since the beginning of this year, Tesla’s stock price has fallen by about 12%, lagging behind the increase in the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average

The first batch of newly built cars was scrapped, and battery pollution has surfaced

2021-06-26T04:15:07Z

Image source @Visual China Article | Shen Xiang, Author｜Zhou Yongliang Around 2009, lead poisoning incidents occurred successively in Fengxiang, Shaanxi, Wugang, Hunan, Qingyuan, Guangdong, and Huaining, Anhui. In May 2011, there was a pollution incident involving 332 people with excessive blood lead in Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. These lead pollution incidents were the result of people’s extensive management of lead-acid batteries at that time. More than 60% of the quality of lead-acid batteries is heavy metal lead, and there is a high risk of lead pollution in primary lead smelting, battery manufacturing, battery recycling, and secondary lead smelting. After a pile of poisoning incidents, people realized the harm of lead-acid batteries to the human body and the environment. Since 2011, an environmental storm surrounding lead-acid batteries has swept the industry. According to data from the Ministry of Environmental Protection (now the Ministry of Ecology and Environment), as of the end of July of that year, a total of 1,930 lead-acid battery production, assembly and recycling (recycled lead) companies had been investigated in various regions. Among them, companies that shut down, stopped production for rectification and stopped production accounted for all 83% of surveyed companies. Related media reports at that time Today, the battery problem of the new era has surfaced with the retirement of the first batch of new energy vehicles. Compared with the past lead-acid batteries, although the power batteries used in new cars do not contain heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, the cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese, organic carbonates, etc. in the positive electrode and the electrolyte also have certain characteristics. Toxic, partially refractory organic solvents and their decomposition and hydrolysis products will cause pollution and damage to the surrounding environment and ecosystem. What may cause the tragedy to repeat is that the current domestic power battery recycling market is very rudimentary, and a large number of batteries have flowed to informal small workshops, which has formed a huge recycling industry chain. Small workshops “squeeze” the regular army To discuss the recovery of power batteries, we must first review the development of new energy vehicles. Since 2013, China’s new energy vehicles have been promoted on a large scale, and they ushered in rapid growth in 2014. According to data from the China Automobile Association, as of May this year, there were approximately 5.8 million new energy vehicles running on the road. According to calculations based on the five-year retirement of lithium iron phosphate batteries and the six-year retirement of ternary lithium batteries, China has gradually entered the retirement period for power batteries starting in 2019. Due to the small base in the previous period, although the growth rate is very fast, the total amount is not much. On the whole, the domestic automobile power recovery industry has just started. The current retired power batteries mainly come from new energy vehicles sold around 2015. According to data from the China Automobile Association, from 2014 to 2016, China’s new energy vehicle sales were 74,000, 330,000, and 507,000, respectively. The fast-growing and full-potential market has also attracted many entrants. At present, the companies that lay out the power battery recycling market include most companies in the battery production chain, such as battery manufacturers, materials companies, energy storage companies, automobile manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, and so on. According to data from Tianyan Check, nearly 3,000 enterprises across the country have included power battery recycling in their business scope. Among them, there are 27 enterprises on the “white list” that are recognized by the state as meeting the conditions for recycling used power batteries, accounting for about 1%. However, power batteries still appear to be similar to lead-acid batteries in the past-the rate of regular recycling is very low. According to the Shenzhen Business Daily, less than 30% of the total retired batteries actually flowed into leading companies, and a large number of batteries flowed to informal small workshops, even in the hands of individuals, forming a huge industrial chain. In addition to some being dismantled and recycled, some have been remade into small power banks, or simply processed to pretend to be new batteries. Because many small workshops do not have professional equipment and battery processing technology, in the process of processing recycled power batteries, it is easy to cause safety and environmental problems, produce a lot of pollutants, and cause secondary pollution to the environment. Source of power battery material remanufacturing: GEM There are multiple reasons for the similar situation. Among them, the most direct reason is that the cost of small workshops is lower, and the recycling price that can be given is higher than that of formal enterprises. Formal enterprises have relatively large investments in plant, equipment, personnel, and environmental protection, and their fixed costs are relatively high. At the same time, many used batteries are now in the hands of individuals. Without invoices, companies cannot deduct value-added tax during sales, resulting in excessive taxation. Therefore, when the scale of power battery recycling has not exceeded the critical point, the cost of formal enterprises is very high. At the same time, the current retired batteries on the market are mainly lithium iron phosphate batteries, because they do not contain precious metals, the sales price of the products obtained after disposal will be even lower than the cost. The ternary lithium battery with high recycling value has only entered the loading stage in 2015, and the proportion is small at the beginning, and it has not yet entered the decommissioning cycle on a large scale. From the point of view of willingness, the current formal enterprises’ motivation for battery recycling is not strong. In contrast, small workshops have small fixed assets and almost zero investment in environmental protection. They do not treat the generated exhaust gas, waste liquid, and waste residues, and at the same time ignore key links such as detection and discharge during the disassembly process, and do not issue invoices. These have greatly reduced its cost, so the bid is higher when recycling retired batteries. Originally, the number of retired power batteries was relatively small, coupled with the high price competition of small workshops, which caused formal enterprises to face the dilemma of “no rice in the pot”. Zhang Shuquan, general manager of Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone Qiantai Technology Co., Ltd., once said in an interview, “The production line of 30,000 tons of decommissioned power battery systems per year has a utilization rate of less than 20%.” This is not a recent situation. , Has been facing this embarrassing situation since it was put into production in 2019. In addition to factors such as price and economic benefits, consumers do not know much about the channels for battery recycling. At present, Volkswagen is still in a process of gradual acceptance of new energy vehicles, and has little knowledge about the recovery of power batteries in the automotive aftermarket. In addition, these recycling companies and outlets themselves do not have effective publicity and promotion, so many of them are idle. A variety of factors eventually led to the phenomenon of “bad money driving out good money”. Who will bear the responsibility? In order to avoid the recurrence of similar lead-acid battery tragedies, the country has made arrangements for battery recycling in the early stages of the development of new energy vehicles. According to incomplete statistics, since 2006, relevant state departments have issued more than 20 policies and regulations for the recycling and utilization of power batteries. In 2006, the National Development and Reform Commission and other agencies jointly issued the “Automobile Product Recycling Technology Policy”, which stated that electric vehicle manufacturers should be responsible for recycling and disposing of electric vehicle batteries they sell. In February 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology took the lead in issuing the “Interim Measures for the Management of Recycling and Utilization of Power Batteries for New Energy Vehicles”, establishing a system for extending the responsibility of producers, establishing a traceability information system for power batteries, and encouraging first cascading use and then recycling. … At present, there are two main ideas for the recovery of power batteries: one is tiered utilization. When the power battery capacity decays to 80%, although it is not suitable to continue to be used in vehicles, it is still used in scenarios such as communication base stations and low-speed electric vehicles. Can be applied; second, when the battery capacity is less than about 30% of the initial capacity, it can be disassembled to recover some of the precious metals. But in the actual operation, these two schemes are faced with many problems. On the one hand, before cascading utilization, each battery must be tested, and then grouped and used. This greatly increases the cost of the enterprise. Similar solutions are not feasible for large-scale energy storage. In fact, the most ideal solution is to build a data platform that can dynamically track battery data. Currently, there is a comprehensive traceability management platform at the national level, but due to the lack of mandatory policies, the data reported by many companies is seriously lagging or incomplete. Based on incomplete data alone, it is impossible to accurately predict the remaining life and capacity of the battery, which will increase the quality risk of cascading products. On the other hand, the complexity of decommissioned batteries is very high. Products from different manufacturers are very different in terms of structural design, module connection mode and process technology. For example, only the shape is square, cylindrical, and soft. form. This directly increases the difficulty of later dismantling, and it is difficult to carry out large-scale operations. It is worth noting that the current domestic recovery cost-bearing mechanism is not clear. In the entire process of power battery recycling, the participants include multiple stakeholders, including battery manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers, consumers, cascade users, resource recycling companies, etc. This also leads to the division of recycling responsibilities and the burden of expenses. The subject is not very clear. In this regard, the experience of countries such as Europe, America and Japan is worth learning. Their mainstream model is that power battery manufacturers assume the main responsibility for battery recycling, and host manufacturers and battery leasing companies act as auxiliary to cooperate with the recycling work. Specifically, they also have different models. Among them, Japan is a recycling model dominated by power battery manufacturers, using the network of electric car dealers and battery leasing companies to recycle batteries; European and American countries are led by industry alliances in the recycling mode, and power battery manufacturers jointly form a recycling alliance; It is the third-party recycling model. People cannot step into the same river twice, and China will no longer follow the old path of environmental pollution. Just as the tide of power battery decommissioning started, related policies and business models were also mature. However, to truly activate the entire industrial chain, it will not happen overnight. It needs to be done step by step to dredge all links of the industrial chain and clarify the rights and obligations of all parties.

Suitable for young people’s “transportation vehicle”! Does the handsome man “poke” your heart?

2021-06-26T01:25:05Z

Cars are mainly divided into scooters and commercial vehicles. With the changes of the times, more and more people can afford cars, especially those who buy cars are getting younger and younger. Many young people want to buy one after a few months of graduation. A car of its own. Reluctantly, the budget is not enough, and I can’t afford a particularly expensive car, but my vision of the car is not reduced at all. Should you choose a traditional car or a new energy car for a budget of tens of thousands of dollars? As new energy vehicles become more and more mature, I believe most people will choose new energy vehicles. But how to choose a new energy mobility vehicle? Today, the editor will give you a few Amway cars suitable for young people. Get ready for these little cute cars! 1. The price of Euler Black Cat: 6.98-10.28 million The first little cute is the Euler Black Cat, the simple style of the Euler Black Cat car, a pair of retro round and cute “big eyes”, with a length of 3495mm, a width of 1660mm, a height of 1560mm, and a wheelbase of 2475mm. Isn’t the size very petite and cute? There are also a variety of colors to choose from. If you add some stickers you like, the cuteness will rise straight. Regardless of the small size of the overall model, the interior is not small. The sense of space is still OK. As long as you are not a big man over two meters, you can sit comfortably. And the interior control is equipped with a 9-inch floating LCD screen and various circular air-conditioning outlet designs, which is full of technology. It’s a good deal to start with the Euler Black Cat. After all, who doesn’t like driving a cute and cheap car? 2. Changan Benben E-Star Price: 2.98-7.48 million The second cute model is the dumb E-Star. Why do you recommend this car? Because Changan Benben E-Star is not the same as the cute black cat above. If the black cat is a well-behaved cat, then Changan Benben E-Star is a cat with fierce milk. The sharp headlights on both sides match the open grille design, and the milk is full of fierce taste. The car length is 3730/3770mm, the car width is 1650mm, the car height is 1560/1570mm, and the wheelbase is 2410mm. Although there is enough space for the small size, and the interior of the car adopts environmentally friendly materials, the environment is more comfortable and there is no odor. The cruising range can reach up to 301km, and daily cross-city travel is not a problem at all. Taking a family to travel in Chang’an Benben E-Star in free time is unclear and comfortable. 3. Wuling Hongguang MINI EV Price: 2.88-4.36 million The last one is the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. I believe many people have heard of this car. After all, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV can be said to be a “pioneer” in sales in recent times. Wuling is well aware of the needs of the current automotive market, and the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV that is created is both attractive and cheap. Which young man can refuse? It deserves to be “Wuling will make whatever the people need.” The small and exquisite Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is also full of control when it is driven, but it is the “sacred car” of small new energy vehicles. The endurance may be shorter, the highest model is only 170km, but it needs to be sufficient to complete daily transportation. There are many small and exquisite new energy vehicles with low prices, such as Beiqi Kitty and Punk Meimei. The above are my favorites. I don’t know if there is one that meets your “appetite”?

Don’t give the public a chance. In the Toyota Double Engine era, the technology is strong and the driving force is strong.

2021-06-25T22:35:07Z

Nowadays, with a budget of 100,000 yuan, it is no longer difficult to choose which car to buy. After all, whether it is a car or an SUV, the 100,000-class product is very rich and complete, and there are many boutiques. Just make a choice according to your preferences. , Basically there is no problem. And this year, large-sized family SUVs and new energy sources have become the focus of everyone’s attention. It can be said that all car companies are embarking on these two things at the same time, rushing to push new and reveal new technologies, so as to quickly deploy the market. For example, Volkswagen not only just launched a new flagship SUV-Lanjing, but also created an MEB modular electric drive platform, and quickly deployed new energy pure electric vehicles (SAIC ID.X series and FAW ID. series). However, from focusing on fuel directly to pure electricity, for many people in China, this is simply a heartbeat, which is unacceptable. The criticism of pure electric vehicles (range, electricity, battery) limits our choices. In addition, in the hearts of Chinese people, although we started late in the fuel era, we have made faster breakthroughs in the field of new energy. After several years of rapid development, most people have recognized domestic vehicles in the pure electric field. Of course, facts have proved that hybrid models are the most suitable for Chinese people at present. Among them, Toyota Shuangqi Hybrid is the king. The cumulative global sales have exceeded 18 million. Among them, the cumulative sales of China’s Toyota Shuangqing have exceeded 1.2 million, with 24 Years of deep technical accumulation, and no battery system accidents in the past 24 years (As of now, Toyota has sold more than 18 million electrified models worldwide, and there has been no case of electric shock (leakage), battery burning or explosion caused by vehicle accidents. At the same time, Toyota HEV is no different from fuel vehicles in terms of maintenance. The core three-electric components provide long-term warranty). Toyota Dual Engine Hybrid can be described as the No. 1 in the HEV field, and no one can shake its status. At the same time, as the first car company to launch mass-produced hybrid HEV models, Toyota Shuangqing Hybrid has covered the fields of cars, SUVs and MPVs, and has achieved a comprehensive layout in the market. Corolla Shuangqing, Corolla Shuangqing E+, Leilink Shuangqing, Ralink Shuangqing E+, Rongfang Shuangqing, Rongfang Shuangqing E+, Asia Dragon Shuangqing, Camry Shuangqing, Weilanda Shuangqing, Weilanda High Performance Edition, Weirfa Shuangqing, Alpha Shuangqing, etc., At present, Toyota has launched more than 20 HEV products. In the near future, a new generation of Highlander Shuangqing, the new flagship SUV Crown Lufang Shuangqing based on the new generation of Highlander has been unveiled at the same time, and will be listed in the middle of this year, plus the new C-HR Shuangqing Heyi Ze Shuangqing will further enrich the product lineup of the Toyota Shuangqing family. What are the advantages of Toyota Shuangqing Hybrid? In addition to 24 years of deep technical foundation and 24 years of battery system zero accidents and market recognition, there are three main points: First, Toyota Shuangqing technology is more advanced: it has epoch-making technology with two power sources, “engine” and “motor” at the same time, no external charging is required, and the engine and the motor work together tacitly, bringing a powerful power comparable to a higher level of displacement (For example, Toyota Rongfang dual engine E+ and CR-V sharp hybrid e+, the gap between new capabilities is obvious); Second, Toyota’s dual engine technology is more advanced: TNGA technology blessing, high-speed combustion technology, intelligent variable valve timing system, wide-area Atkinson cycle, engine thermal efficiency 41%, further reducing exhaust emissions, allowing CO2 and other exhaust gas pollution to be effective Control, when driving in the EV electric driving mode, it is as quiet and comfortable as an electric car, and it is full of high-end feeling. Third, the price is relatively more friendly to the people: Compared with Honda’s models, the Weilanda dual-engine hybrid guide price is 205,800 yuan to 241,800 yuan, while the Haoying hybrid guide price is 209,800 yuan to 252,800 yuan. Landa Shuangqing is cheaper than Haoying Hybrid models; Toyota Rongfang Shuangqing E+ subsidies starts at 248,800 yuan, while Honda CR-V Rui·Hybrid e+ subsidies starts at 273,800 yuan, which is a relatively low threshold. Lower. Summary: Pure electric vehicles may be destined to be the future trend, but it seems that we are still a long time away from realizing the era of all-electricity. The current hybrid is more in line with national conditions and more suitable for Chinese people to choose for a period of time in the future. Toyota Shuangqing Hybrid The rapid completion of the full market coverage of HEV products has already won the starting line and decision-making. With the leading technology blessing and perfect and powerful product layout, the Toyota Dual Engine hybrid era is ushered in. This does not give the public a chance. !

Very Krypton 001 officially listed, the price of 281-36 million after subsidies

2021-06-25T08:25:04Z

On April 15, Geely Automobile’s first model of the Geekrypton brand, Geekrypton 001, was officially launched. The price of the new car was 281-36 million yuan after subsidies. The new car has three configurations to choose from. The details can be seen in the table below. Jikrypton 001 is a medium and large-scale pure electric vehicle. It is built on the basis of SEA’s vast architecture. The new car will be delivered in October. From the price list, we can see that there are three configurations of Polar Krypton 001. Among them, the long-life dual-motor WE version and the ultra-long-life single-motor WE version are priced at 281,000 yuan after subsidy. The cruising range is very different. They are 526km and 712km respectively. The dual-motor WE version has better performance, while the ultra-long-endurance WE version has better endurance. The same price makes it easier for consumers to perform between performance and endurance. trade off. The ultra-long battery life dual-motor YOU version is priced at 360,000 yuan, and its pure electric range is 606 kilometers, which combines performance and endurance, but the price is much more expensive. Very Krypton 001 is a beautiful model. The design language of the new car is similar to that of Lynk & Co. Its front grille adopts a recessed design and adopts a black penetrating style as a whole, with headlights on both sides. A hidden design is adopted. The daytime running lights and turn signals of the new car are designed on both ends of the front hood, using a frog-eye style. These are the design features of Lynk & Co. The bottom of the front face of the new car uses a simple and sporty surround, the bottom uses a front shovel of the same color as the body, and there is a trapezoidal grille design in the middle. The side of the body of the extremely krypton 001 is very impressive, and the new car adopts a travel-style body design, which looks very international as a whole. The roof of the new car adopts a sunken design, the D-pillar adopts a forward-leaning style, the charging hole is designed at the position of the front fender on the left side of the body, and the new car adopts a hidden door handle design. The lower body of the new car adopts a very three-dimensional style. The lower end of the window adopts a more prominent body design. The wheel hub adopts a very cross-border design. The banners on the wheel hub are not in a uniform style, and the shape is very individual.化. The rear end of the new car also appears to be relatively advanced, and the rear windshield adopts a large forward-leaning design. The lower body at the rear of the new car has a sense of hierarchy. It uses a through-style taillight. The two ends of the taillight adopt an energy column style. The middle of the tail adopts a groove design. The bottom of the new car is also very sporty. The interior of the Very Krypton 001 is also more avant-garde, with a three-spoke steering wheel, an unobstructed LCD instrument design, a large central control screen with a floating style, and a layered comparison on the side of the co-pilot. Simple panels for decoration. The design style of the platform on the front side of the new car is also relatively simple, and the side of the co-pilot adopts an armrest design. The length, width, and height of the extremely krypton 001 are 4970/1999/1560mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 3005mm. The vehicle is very large. The future competitor of the new car will be BYD’s Han EV. In terms of power, the dual-motor version of Krypton 001 is equipped with a comprehensive output of 544 horsepower (400kW), a peak torque of 768 Nm, and an acceleration time of 3.8 seconds from 100 kilometers.

I am used to driving the Camry and replaced my friend’s Passat, finally clarifying the gap between Toyota and Volkswagen

2021-06-25T05:30:06Z

The current joint venture B-class car market mainly depends on the German and Japanese cars. The German cars are represented by Volkswagen. Both the Passat and the Magotan have good sales. The Japanese cars are represented by Toyota, Honda and Nissan, and the Camry, Accord and Teana are the representatives. It is also a frequent visitor on the B-class car sales rankings. The remaining American, Korean, French and British cars have no strength to compete head-on with the German and Japanese cars. Therefore, most of the friends who want to buy a joint venture B-segment car will choose one from German and Japanese. Personally, I prefer Japanese cars. GAC Toyota’s new Camry mentioned a 2.5G car when it first launched. The deluxe version has been driving for a while now, and I am impressed with its comfortable driving experience. A friend of mine mentioned the SAIC Volkswagen Passat at the beginning of the year, and then drove it instead, finally clarifying the gap between Toyota and Volkswagen. For the new Camry, I have been driving it for a while, and I have been very familiar with it. My 2.5G luxury version has landed less than 250,000. Its power system is composed of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + 8AT gearbox. With the blessing of Toyota’s TNGA architecture, the texture of the chassis has changed from the original partial comfort to the current one. Comfortable, sporty, and more compatible. This 2.5L engine has a maximum power of 209 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. Although it is not as strong as some 2.0T engines according to the book data, the power output of the Camry is also It is very abundant, and the fuel consumption performance is lower than I expected. I originally thought that a B-class car with a 2.5L engine would consume more than 10L/100km, but the result was 8.3L/100km when it was running in. , After the running-in period, it has dropped to below 8.0L/100km. Those who often say five or six fuels should not have actually driven a Camry. If it is a 2.5L hybrid model, the fuel consumption of this five or six fuels is my Believe it, but the normal level of 2.5L fuel is about 8.0L/100km. You can’t let the horse run fast and let the horse eat less, right? This is not normal and not scientific. Why do I wait for the new car to be listed before buying it? Very simple, because the new car is smarter, the 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel + 10.1 inch central control screen + HUD head-up display system enhances the sense of science and technology in the car. In terms of functions, it supports GPS navigation, voice recognition control, car WeChat, and AutoNavi. Maps, CarLife, Internet of Vehicles and OTA upgrades, etc., the new dynamic radar cruise control system can now follow the car at full speed, making driving easier. In terms of smart configuration, Camry can be said to be ahead of the Japanese counterparts, but its rich smart configuration does not mean that it has no shortcomings, such as not supporting CarPaly, etc., obviously it is not friendly to Apple mobile phone users. The compatibility of Camry could be stronger. As for space, the length of 4885mm and the wheelbase of 2825mm bring a spacious “large rear” to the Camry. The space is very spacious in all B-class cars. On the whole, the Camry’s performance in all aspects is as expected. 2.5L+8AT also meets my requirements for power output. The 2.5L engine has a strong power reserve, and the AISIN 8AT gearbox has a clear shift logic. The gear is also very smooth, the chassis is sporty and comfortable, and the texture of the chassis is very different from that of the previous Japanese cars. How do you say? It combines the comfortable characteristics of Japanese cars and the sporty temperament of European cars. This is a change that I personally like very much. The SAIC Volkswagen Passat 380TSI flagship version chosen by my friend is the top option of the 2.0T high-power model. The price is much higher than my Camry, but the actual landing price is very close. So, what kind of experience is it like to change a friend’s Passat? In other words, what are the differences between Camry and Camry? In terms of power, it is indeed stronger than the Camry. The Camry has 209 horsepower and the Passat has 220 horsepower. The difference is not obvious. The obvious is the maximum torque. The Camry’s 250 Nm vs. Passat’s 350 Nm is reflected in personal acceleration. The above is that the Camry is more linear, the power output of the large displacement self-priming engine is continuous, and the Passat has a sense of abruptness. After a deep step on the accelerator, the power output will come after a short period of reflection. It may not be suitable for the first time. , But after getting used to it, I will like this sense of acceleration very much. The 7DSG dual-clutch gearbox shifts quickly, and there is no sense of frustration under acceleration, but in the stop-and-go congested section, especially the 2nd gear up to the 3rd gear. Or you can feel the frustration when you get 3 gears down to 2 gears. In other words, in terms of acceleration experience, Passat is better, while in terms of ride comfort, Camry is better. Reflected in the chassis, the two are also very different in style. Although their chassis structure is the same, the tuning style is quite different. The Camry’s chassis is moderately soft and hard, which can ensure both comfort and sportiness, while the Passat is pure sports. The style is adjusted and the chassis texture is hard. When passing speed bumps and uneven roads, the body bounces more and the chassis damping stroke is shorter, which can cause a certain impact on the people in the car. I personally think that the Camry is more suitable for home use. In terms of configuration, the Camry is better in terms of intelligence. For example, its full-speed domain follow-up function is not available in Passat. Passat does not have an OTA upgrade that can evolve the car system, but in terms of compatibility, it is still Passat. Stronger, for example, it has both CarLife and CarPaly. In terms of interior texture, the Camry has a more technological sense. Its LCD instrument panel and central control screen are larger than Passat, and the central control layout looks younger, while the Passat’s interior looks very mature. Personal preference of decoration style, I prefer Camry’s youthful design and intelligent configuration. It has to be said that the Passat’s rear row space is indeed large, at least larger than the Camry. The 4933mm car length and the 2871mm wheelbase have advantages over the Camry, and the rear space is more spacious, but spaciousness does not necessarily mean Comfort and comfort are closely related to the seat design. Passat’s seat is still hard, not as soft as Camry’s. In general, the Passat’s power output is stronger, the space is larger, and the control feel is good; the Camry’s ride comfort is more advantageous, the seats are more comfortable, and the chassis is more balanced. Judging from the comprehensive performance of the two, it happens that one represents the Japanese car and the other represents the German car. For family use, I still prefer the Japanese car, otherwise I would not choose the GAC Toyota Camry. What do you think of the Camry and Passat differently?

Further reading New Baojun Valli arrives at the store for real shots to change face and new students, pre-sale on April 15 2021-04-09 Easy Car Officially, the new Baojun Valli is called a recreational vehicle. Previously, this type of vehicle was used to be called a station wagon. Station wagons are very popular in Europe, and they are also crowded in China. With the upgrade and launch of the new Baojun Valli, New Baojun will establish China’s largest crock alliance , To establish a RV culture belonging to China. In terms of design, Valli adopted the family “interstellar geometry” design concept, which is the design concept of the new Baojun family, in which the split headlights are very recognizable.Headlight Standard LED headlights , Mid-to-high matching also comes with Automatic far and near beam function . There are generally two types of station wagon designs, one is mainly curved, and the other is more precise geometric lines.Obviously, the new Baojun Valli belongs to the latter, from the side it has a very perfect geometry structure , The tough lines also make this car look very proportional. In terms of body color, Xinbaojun has given Valli a lot of meaning.New car has Suhangqing, Xuexiang White, Wuyuan Yellow, Erhai Blue and Ancient City Grey 5 body colors. Each color represents the hottest self-driving destination at present, and it also symbolizes that this car was born for travel and can take the owner to “see the world” farther away.

A characteristic function of the new Baojun model is the new Baojun vehicle linkage system. Since version 1.0 of this mobile phone interconnection system, I have been following reports and have witnessed it becoming better and smarter step by step.What’s coming with Valli this time is New Baojun Internet of Vehicles 2.0 System , Built-in map navigation, online music, voice and other functions. The new car configuration is still very comprehensive and supports Keyless entry/start, multi-function steering wheel, PM2.5 filter, 6 adjustments of the main driver’s seat ; Mid-to-high model also comes with Electric adjustable seats, automatic air conditioning, heating of the main driver’s seat, leather seats and seat memory Wait.

According to official information, the current fuel consumption level is 6.8L/100km. Competitive product analysis: independent one Uneven joint venture levels Judging from the current domestic station wagon market, Valli actually has no direct competitors. Previously, the Skoda Octavia Travel Edition was regarded as the purest station wagon of about 150,000, but the car is currently in a discontinued state. There is no news about whether the new generation Octavia Travel Edition will be introduced.In addition, there are currently Ford Fox Safari Edition, Volkswagen Wei collar When the models are on sale, these two models are not too threatening compared to Valli. If Valli can really drive the wagon culture, I will be very happy as the owner of the Octavia wagon. Edit summary Today, with the Valli pre-sale, New Baojun opened a round of very interesting topics, including the establishment of a clay tanker alliance, encouraging more young people to go out and see the distance, and so on. I think that when a car is sold not only as the car itself, but also as an idea, it is very interesting. Finally, I hope that more people will join the station wagon circle, and at the same time, everyone don’t forget to pay attention to Zhu Tao YC.

Domestic high-speed rail “comprehensive adjustment”, in addition to speed limit, the construction of high-speed rail in these cities is “suspended”

2021-06-24T20:45:09Z

Preface my country’s railway construction has always been at the forefront of the world’s development. After all, my country is well aware of a truth-“If we want to get rich, we must first build roads.” Development of transportation is an important prerequisite for the development of a place. Only with the development of transportation can the exchanges between various regions be promoted, both going out and welcoming in. Especially for regions that develop tourism, if the transportation is not developed enough, then no one will want to travel here, and the tourism industry will not develop. China Railway is world-renowned my country’s high-speed rail network has always attracted the attention of the world, and people in all countries will also envy our country with such developed transportation, which can complete the distance from south to north in just a few hours. We really should be proud of living in such a country. According to some statistics, as of 2021, my country’s railway mileage ranks second in the world, and my country’s railway construction has always been in the forefront of the world. There are also many cities that hope to build high-speed railways, but these cities’ desire to build high-speed railways may be lost because a series of problems have emerged due to the rapid construction of railways in our country. Therefore, our country has recently made a decision on the problems of high-speed railway construction. Relevant departments of our country have issued a notice stating that they need to rectify the problem of the chaotic construction of high-speed rail and subway. Some areas will not be able to build high-speed rail at present, and some areas that have already built high-speed rail need to limit the speed of high-speed rail. The relevant departments of our country made these decisions on the one hand because some regions in our country did not plan according to the actual situation when planning the construction of high-speed rail. They only knew that the pursuit of high speed would eventually lead to a serious waste of resources. On the other hand, it is aimed at areas that have completed the construction of high-speed rail lines. In some areas, high-speed rail has been built, but there is not enough passenger flow. The ticket price of high-speed rail is low, but the cost of building high-speed rail is expensive. Therefore, the economic pressure on the local government is very heavy, which leads to another problem-the national railway group cannot make ends meet. According to research conducted by relevant institutions, my country’s National Railway Group has already owed nearly six trillion yuan. This amount is shocking. The State Railway Group’s debt situation is unreasonable and even dangerous. Some experts said that if the State Railway Group continues to be in debt, a financial crisis will easily occur, which will endanger the entire country. economic development. Domestic high-speed rail rectification my country’s rectification of high-speed rail construction brooks no delay. The first step to rectify high-speed rail construction is speed limit. Netizens found that the construction of a high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour requires 25 million passengers per year. The Xicheng Railway, which connects Xi’an and Chengdu, has a passenger flow of just over 13 million a year. Only the Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Guangzhou lines can meet the requirements, and most of the lines are unable to build a high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The speed limit is because the faster the speed of the high-speed rail, the more money needs to be spent on the maintenance of the high-speed rail, but the construction of the high-speed rail does not need to be speed for the sake of speed. It is more important to build high-speed rail based on actual conditions. In some areas, the pace of life is not fast, and the speed of high-speed rail does not need to be too fast, otherwise it will only waste resources. In addition, it is also very necessary to rectify the scale of high-speed rail construction. Relevant departments have stipulated that if the utilization rate of high-speed rail does not reach 80%, then the area can no longer build high-speed rail. The plan is also to maximize the use of high-speed rail. If the existing high-speed rail cannot be fully utilized, the new high-speed rail will waste money to build high-speed rail, and it will not increase passenger flow to generate revenue. This regulation may cause many areas China’s high-speed rail construction plan is about to fail. In fact, the measures taken this time have already shown signs. According to research, my country’s high-speed rail development has been advancing by leaps and bounds in the past few years. In just five years, the high-speed rail mileage has increased by more than 18,000 kilometers. Surpassing other countries, the development of high-speed rail also embodies my country’s plan to become a science and technology powerhouse. However, we must also realize that the construction of high-speed rail in some areas has not brought prosperity, but has caused a serious imbalance in government revenue and expenditure. Moreover, there is a trend of comparison among some governments, and the construction of high-speed rail is for performance but not for development. The country’s rectification of railway construction this time can provide better conditions for the future development of railway construction, and relevant experts have already regained confidence in my country’s railway construction in this rectification. Moreover, experts predict that after 24 years, my country’s transportation construction will be more reasonable, and the debt problem of the National Railway Group will be resolved. Therefore, the domestic high-speed rail is ushered in “rectification”, in addition to the speed limit required, the scale of high-speed rail construction is also limited. Concluding remarks High-speed rail has important strategic significance in our country. It is a symbol of our country’s national development. The country has always advocated the development of railways. This is the first time that railway construction has slowed down, but this does not mean that this is the stagnation of my country’s railway development. On the contrary, this is a turning point, a rectification for higher development in the future.

Mazda has gone so far, not to blame Liang Jiahui, if you want to blame, blame yourself for the bad name

2021-06-24T17:50:05Z

Mazda has not performed well in China in recent years. Some netizens joked that Leung Ka-fai bears the main responsibility for Mazda to this day. The reason for this is because of the movie “Black Gold”. Netizens who have watched Black Gold understand that there is a dialogue in the play. We drove Pingzhi, Rolls-Royce, and you drove Mazda. No wonder you were in a traffic jam. Of course, netizens said this was a joke. No wonder others. Can blame yourself. A person who often changes his mobile phone number, few people can remember his new phone number, and a car that changes his name frequently, and not many people can remember it. Mazda is like that. Mazda has had many twists and turns in China, and many netizens are curious about a question, what’s wrong with Mazda? There are many reasons why Mazda has come to this day. Not much else. The name alone violates the laws of the market. People give a name, lest everyone can’t remember it. Mazda would be better. I’m afraid you remember it and give it a name, which will also test your language performance. Mazda Artz did not call this name at all in the early years. Artz was Mazda 6 Ruiyi before, and Ruiyi was Mazda 6. To put it bluntly, it is the replacement model of Mazda 6. Others do not change the name of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Honda. For example: The Honda Accord has always been called the Accord, the fifth generation is called the 6th Accord, and the 6th generation is called the 7th Accord. No matter how the generation is changed, it is still called the Accord. This is called accumulation. What about the Mazda 6? What has accumulated? Mazda 6, formerly the true 6, was once a best-selling car. The advertisements of that year were also quite bullish. Meili Technology, Mazda 6, Mazda is the brand, 6 represents the model, easy to remember, and this car is more avant-garde and fashionable. Looking at this streamlined body from today’s perspective, it still feels outdated, and the safety configuration was also high at the time, with ABS/EBD/CBC all available, not to mention leather seats, electric sunroofs, reversing radar, and aluminum alloy wheels. The starting price is more than 210,000. After being listed in 2003, it has been well received by everyone. At that time, the Mazda 6 was one of the most popular B-class cars in the country. Since everyone has accepted the Mazda 6, it has proved that they have accepted its advantages and disadvantages, including its name. In order to express their love for this car, Mazda 6, referred to as Ma 6 by netizens, is such an easy-to-remember name. Horse has the meaning of success. The number 6 is one of the most favorite numbers in China. Good, easy to remember, why should such a good name change? After Mazda 6, it is called Mazda 6 Ruiyi. Why do we have to use rare words? The word “Rui” can be investigated on the street, but many people can’t call it out. Is this a test of everyone’s language performance? The name is very important for a car. In China, brands with long names usually sell poorly. You can summarize them, such as: Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Cadillac, Koenigsegg, Maserati, Infiniti, Rolls-Royce, etc., compared with two-character brands, their sales are not good. 2-3 words are easy to remember. Chinese names are basically 2-3 words, of course, four-character names. There are also names, but they are rare. Don’t worry if you have more brand words. After all, some brands come from the founders, but the name can be shorter. To do business in China, you have to go to the countryside and do what you like. Don’t challenge everyone’s memory. The name should be localized. Atez is too verbal. A name that is easy to remember is a good name. Mazda has three characters. It is easy to remember. Add a number 6, how good it is. It must be the entire Mazda Atez, a whole 6 characters, and the middle generation also plays with rare characters, three I can’t remember it over and over again, even if I remember it, I might forget it again in a few days. What is the difference between this and the monkey breaking the corn? A good name does not mean good sales. If you want to sell well, start with a good name.

New Hainan Client, Nanhai Net, Nanguo Metropolis Daily News on April 15 (Reporter Wang Yanzhen) In order to implement the reform service measures of the Ministry of Public Security’s Traffic Management Bureau, “Receiving Education, Reducing and Exempting Road Traffic Safety Illegal Behavior Scores”, improve the traffic safety of motor vehicle drivers Awareness, the Traffic Police Headquarters of the Public Security Department of Hainan Province has decided to promote the “study method to reduce points” measures throughout the province from April 15th. All drivers who meet the conditions can apply for a reduction or exemption of points for road traffic safety violations by participating in the road safety laws and regulations and related knowledge learning organized by the public security traffic management department and passing the examination. Data map. There are three ways to reduce points for “study method”, namely, taking online learning exams to reduce points, participating in on-site learning exams to reduce points, and participating in traffic safety public welfare activities to reduce points. In view of the actual work, Hainan Province currently only opens the way to reduce scores for online learning exams, and the other two ways will be organized and promoted in a timely manner based on local conditions. The way to learn online is to log in to the mobile App Traffic Control 12123 to enter the “Learning and Education Business-Learning Method to Reduce Points” column, and you can learn by following the prompts. 1. You can participate in the “study method deduction” situation. Traffic Management 12123. Drivers whose user registration place and driver’s license issuance place are both in the opened area, and the accumulated scores in a scoring period are less than 12 points. It does not distinguish between the types of driving licenses and whether they are drivers of operating vehicles. You can apply for “Study Method Deduction” through the “Traffic Management 12123” mobile app. In this scoring cycle, drivers who have more than 2 full score records or the accumulated score has reached 12 points, etc. 7 kinds of situations will not be able to participate in the “study method deduction”. 2. The method and value of points reduction or exemption. After motor vehicle drivers receive traffic safety education and meet the requirements for deduction of points, they will be deducted from the driver’s current accumulated points value, rather than not being scored when dealing with traffic violations. Motor vehicle drivers can apply multiple times within a scoring period, but the accumulated maximum exemption for each scoring period is 6 points. 3. Study content and test questions. The course of study includes 12 aspects of safe driving knowledge, judgment of traffic violations and case analysis. The test questions are judgement questions, single-choice questions, and multiple-choice questions. 20 questions are randomly selected for each exam, and the answer time for each question is 60 seconds. If the number of incorrect or unanswered questions reaches 3 or more, the exam will fail. 4. Blacklist management system. Drivers who practice fraud or impersonation in the course of study and examination will be blacklisted and will not be allowed to conduct traffic management business through the Internet platform or self-service machine within three years; if the circumstances are serious, the relevant personnel will be held accountable. Answers to hot issues related to “Study method deduction”: 1. What are the rules for deducting points from study? Answer: Participate in online learning (a total of 30 minutes in 3 days) and pass the exam, one point will be exempted. Participate in on-site learning (not less than 1 hour each time) and pass the examination, 2 points will be exempted once. (According to the actual situation of Hainan Province, organize the promotion in time) Participating in traffic safety public welfare activities (1 hour each time), one point is exempted once. (According to the actual situation of Hainan Province, organize the promotion in a timely manner) 2. Which motor vehicle drivers can participate in the study method to reduce points? Answer: Motor vehicle drivers with a motor vehicle driving license of the People’s Republic of China, regardless of the type of driving license, or whether they are drivers of commercial vehicles, can participate in the study method to reduce points and participate in accordance with the highest permitted type of driving. Corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge learning, examinations or public traffic safety activities. However, in one of the following situations, you cannot apply for deduction of points in the study method: first, during the scoring period, the motor vehicle driver has two or more full score records, or the cumulative score reaches twelve points; second, the previous score is scored Cycle, motor vehicle drivers have more than two full score records; third, in the last three scoring cycles, motor vehicle drivers escaped after causing a traffic accident, or drank alcohol while driving a motor vehicle, or used a forged or altered machine Motor vehicle license plates, driving licenses, driving licenses, school bus signs, or using other motor vehicle license plates, driving licenses, or buying and selling points have been punished; fourth, the motor vehicle driving license is within the internship period, or the motor vehicle driving license is overdue Failure to verify, or the motor vehicle driver’s license is detained or temporarily detained during the period; Fifth, the motor vehicle driver has unhandled records of traffic violations; Sixth, the motor vehicle driver’s safety technical inspection exceeds the validity period or fails to comply with the regulations Motor vehicles that have been deregistered; Seventh, motor vehicle drivers participate in traffic safety education to reduce or exempt road traffic safety violation points, or motor vehicle drivers have fraudulent or imposters in the illegal score education and verification education learning exams. 3. Is it possible to save points and save points through the study method? Answer: No. To apply for deductions in the study method, you must have a score within the current scoring cycle, and there is no situation described in Q&A II. If there is no score in the current scoring cycle, the score cannot be saved through the study method. 4. Each scoring period can be reduced by 6 points. Can it be understood that the value of each scoring period has increased to 18 points? Answer: No. The “increasing the score of the driver’s license to 18 points” is a misunderstanding of the reform measures of “receiving traffic safety education to reduce the score of traffic violations”. Deduction points are deducted from the current accumulated scoring value of the motor vehicle driver. It is not a non-scoring treatment when dealing with traffic violations, and it is not possible to reduce the pre-stored point value through the learning method. It is not possible to deduct 6 points per scoring cycle. “Points” is understood as increasing the full score within the scoring cycle to 18 points.

[In a word]Hand in hand with Microsoft, surrendered to Puri, and missed Takata, but now he has become Tesla’s “little brother”?

2021-06-24T12:00:07Z

Preface China’s auto parts companies, when can they see the sun? The gap between China’s auto parts and Europe and the United States, if the technical distinction is difficult to judge, it is sad to see from the attitude of the downstream car companies. If you are purchasing parts from a leading German company (such as Bosch), most car companies will proudly display them and even hug their thighs, but if they are purchasing parts from China, their attitude is 180. The ten-degree turn will not only not be announced on its own initiative, but it also restricts the other party from publishing the cooperation relationship with the car company. If it breaches the contract, it will be fined. Recently, Joyson Electronics was shot. 01 Warned for holding Tesla’s thigh, or face a fine of hundreds of millions Joyson Electronics received a formal warning from Tesla on the grounds that Joyson Electronics’ previous publicity mentioned its business relationship with Tesla-providing Tesla with pedestrian safety protection devices. The previous two supplier contracts included “It is forbidden to mention the business relationship with Tesla on any occasion.” Tesla may use legal means to retrospectively win the penalty for breach of contract, and the fine may reach hundreds of millions of dollars. Joyson Electronics did not shut up. It was called “untrustworthy and not worthy of sympathy” by netizens. Joyson Electronics’ motive was obvious. It wanted to hug Tesla’s thigh and then hinted at how awesome the external parts are. You see that Tesla has purchased it to impress other car companies and increase potential customers. Unexpectedly, it drew a severe warning from Tesla. But if you think about it carefully, this is really a bit of a “overlord clause”. The cooperation between the two parties was originally equal, voluntary, fair, and not a special trade secret. To put it bluntly, Tesla considers itself a star company, Joyson Electronics Not influential, but cost-effective. In order to reduce the cost of making cars, Joyson Electronics was chosen, but it was unwilling to let the outside world know. This is like when Hyundai Motor revealed its contract processing cooperation plan with Apple before, and was forced by Apple to quickly delete the official announcement of the relevant cooperation. Apple considers itself an ace company, and is afraid that Hyundai Motor will lower its value, but it can’t find a partner it likes, so it is unwilling to announce it. In fact, the “friendship” between Joyson Electronics and Tesla has been established very early. As early as April 2015, Joyson Electronics issued an announcement stating that Joyson’s subsidiary, Preh, Germany, had obtained a purchase order for Tesla’s new energy vehicle battery management system sensors and related components. In 2019, Joyson Safety, a subsidiary of Joyson Electronics, set up a new safety product factory in Lingang, Shanghai, supporting all Tesla models. In 2020, Joyson Electronics began to provide passive safety products such as steering wheels and airbags for the domestic Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. According to calculations by Joyson Electronics, the new order amount for this project is 1.5 billion yuan, and the life cycle is about 3 to 5 years. The supply will start in 2020. At present, the total order value of Tesla-related products is 7.5 billion yuan. Along the way, it is clear that Truss recognizes Joyson Electronics’ technology, but it hides the cooperative relationship between the two and does not want to let the outside world know about it. In essence, Tesla’s right to speak is greater than Joyson Electronics, because Tesla has a lot of room to choose. Joyson’s products can also be provided by other companies. To put it bluntly, Joyson Electronics is insignificant in Tesla’s eyes. character of. Analyze the internal structure of Tesla: Powertrain system, including lithium battery pack, battery management system, thermal management, DC converter, etc.; Central control system, including system assembly, vision, central control screen, instrument, map, communication operator, automatic driving system, air conditioning system, inverter, etc.; Electric drive system, including motors, motor drive modules, etc.; Charging system, including charging piles, charging cables, etc.; Chassis, including electric power steering, braking system, suspension system, tire pressure monitoring, etc.; Body, including body structure, doors, airbags, steering wheel, shock absorption, seat belts, etc. Exterior decoration, including exterior parts, bumpers, front and rear lights, etc.; All in all, there are thousands of suppliers of parts and components companies involved. It’s normal for Truth not to take these little soldier crabs seriously, because it is highly substitutable and there is no uniqueness. Although objectively, these unknown people did participate in Tesla. 02 From the low-threshold Pan Jixing stalls to make friends with Mou He Looking back at Joyson Electronics’ past and present life, this company was founded in 2004, the founder is Wang Jianfeng, located in Zhejiang, a typical family business, the early manufacturing of plastic air intake pipes, air-conditioning outlets and other products, the typical low Threshold Pan Nii Xing Dan Liao ChenoJi Sugar Ye Xing The cost of this kind of functional parts is almost no need for research and development. Even if the cost is invested in research and development, it is easy to be imitated by copycats and difficult to enlarge. The sudden financial crisis in 2008 scarred Europe, and many German auto parts companies were turbulent and even on the verge of bankruptcy. In 2009, a Sino-German joint venture parts company, Shanghai Huade Plastics Products, was sold at a low price. Joyson’s insightful eyes and beadings, income in the bag, doubled its assets, changed its head and became one of the largest auto parts companies in the industry. One. In 2010, Joyson went public through a backdoor listing and embarked on an M&A journey. In 2011, Joyson acquired German Preh, an established auto parts company. Preh not only opened up the market for Joyson, but also provided technical resources. In terms of market, Preh’s main customers are BMW, Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce and other European luxury car brands. Joyson has obtained a channel to enter Europe’s top brands with Preh. In terms of technology, Joyson has lingered on automotive plastic parts for too long. It has low gross profit and is easy to imitate. If you don’t jump out of this quagmire, you will never be able to do so much. Preh’s automotive electronics obviously has a higher technical threshold, and it has In the unmanned era, the prospects are much broader. In February 2016, Joyson Electronics acquired TS, a German car navigation technology company; Acquired EVANA, an American industrial robot manufacturing company, in May; In June, Joyson Electronics completed the acquisition of KSS, a US supplier of active and passive safety technology. In November 2017, Joyson’s subsidiary KSS announced the acquisition of Japan’s Takata; that month, Joyson Electronics’ subsidiary, Preh, Germany, acquired ePower, a power electronic system company under the Norwegian Kongsberg Group, which was aimed at the layout of its battery management system. . In addition to the merger, it also cooperated with Microsoft to help the field of Internet of Vehicles. As one of the global technology giants, compared with companies such as Google and Apple, Microsoft’s layout in the automotive field has not been clear, but its global influence, universality and emphasis on safety, does not have to be a bigwig. Say more. The cooperation between Joyson and Microsoft is a match made in heaven. In Microsoft’s contribution to the global transformation and upgrading of Joyson Electronics, one of the most important functions is to unify Joyson Electronics’ global IT architecture and business contracts under the same framework through Microsoft’s technical means to achieve cost savings and unification of architecture. ,power enhanced. In addition, Microsoft has also made up for Joyson’s shortcomings in the Internet of Vehicles (smart cockpit, autonomous driving assistance, etc.). The office in car jointly created by the two has shown its muscles at the Frankfurt Motor Show, providing services such as office work and conference calls. Landing in intelligent driving. Microsoft itself also has a vertical team in the global automotive industry, and its technical capabilities should not be underestimated. Joyson Electronics, through its cooperation with Microsoft, is able to feed back its own shortcomings in the field of Internet of Vehicles. At present, Joyson has 40 R&D centers and nearly 80 production bases in 30 countries around the world. Its main business covers four major sectors-automotive safety, automotive electronics, automotive functional parts, and smart car linkage. Through a series of outbound mergers and acquisitions and integration of German Preh, U.S. Baileys, and Japan’s Takata assets, as well as a marriage with IT giant Microsoft, is Joyson’s waist straight now? not at all. In front of Tesla, Joyson is still the role of the younger brother. This is not because of the logic of “customers are God”. It is also the superior supplier of car companies. The Ningde era and Huawei are very emboldened. On the contrary, they are car companies. The object vying to hold the thigh. In fact, the relationship between the whole vehicle and its parts is really subtle. In the way of survival, although the two are in a relationship, no one can do without each other, but the right to speak can only be biased towards one side. Concluding remarks The right to speak is the supreme business card of an enterprise. Author Hui Ze Li Author | Huize Lee Edit | lala

The same 2.0T engine, what is the difference between the high-power and low-power versions?You will know by comparison

2021-06-24T09:00:06Z

We often see that a car uses the same displacement engine, but it is divided into several powers, such as Audi A4L and BMW 3 series. An engine has three powers: high, medium and low. The low-power version is jokingly called Turbo decompression version, so why should car companies divide high and low power? Are these different power engines just the difference of software tuning? How to divide an engine into high and low power? In fact, not many people imagine buying a low-power engine, brushing an ECU can become exactly the same as high-power, we can think about it, if we are a car company, we have already divided the high and low power, why the car company is not low Power engines use some lower-cost hardware, even if one engine can save tens of dollars, 100,000 units? One million units? Therefore, high and low power engines are not all tricks of software tuning. At present, car companies mainly use these methods to build high and low power engines. 1. Realize different power through different hardware structures The most typical is the BMW engine. The 320, 325 and 330 versions of the BMW 3 Series are actually different in hardware. Doing so will actually bring greater difficulty to R&D and manufacturing. But the reason why BMW does this is to make Different engine products adapt to different groups of people, low-power engines achieve better fuel economy, high-power engines achieve better power performance, like the BMW 3 Series B48 engine, different power versions of the cooling system, intake manifold Electrical appliances such as mufflers, motors, starters, fans, etc. are different. It is impossible for a low-power engine to simply brush the ECU to achieve the same effect as high-power. 2. Different power can be achieved through different superchargers Of course, there are also car companies who choose not to work hard on the hardware structure, but to change the type of supercharger. Volvo is the most slippery player in this regard. Various mechanical supercharging, turbocharging and dual supercharging. For example, Volvo XC90, the B5 version is turbocharged, and the B6 version is supercharged. 3. Realize different power through ECU control There are a few engines that achieve high and low power through ECU control. The main ones are the 1,4T engine of Volkswagen EA211, and the Cadillac LTG 2.0T engine. However, there are almost no models on sale at the moment. Divided into high and low power versions. Why do car companies have to divide high and low power? So the question is, why should an engine be divided into different powers? Isn’t it troublesome? Why not directly use engines with different displacements? 1. Cost saving You can calculate an account, develop three products, and build three products with one product through subtle differences. Which one is more costly? One engine is divided into three powers, which can greatly save research and development costs, especially for small factories like Volvo, one engine saves more money in the world. 2. Convenient maintenance An engine is divided into different powers. Another advantage is that the cost of maintenance is lower, because after all, it is an engine as a model. Most of the parts can be used in common, and the training of after-sales maintenance personnel can save money. Less expenses. 3. Create product sequence In the past, the Audi A4L still had a 1.4T version, but now the entire system is 2.0T. For consumers, 300,000 to buy a 1.4T engine is emotionally difficult to accept, but now the low-power version of 2.0T, Although it can only output 150 horsepower, the parameters are exactly the same as the 1.4T engine, but at least it is a 2.0T, through the high, medium and low matching, so that different consumers can better choose the version that suits them, and increase the sales of the product. In summary, dividing an engine into different powers is a somewhat opportunistic way, but it is a very good way to save costs. Whether you are pursuing power or fuel consumption, there is always one that suits you

Does driving an electric car really “shed hair”? BYD uses actions to tell you the answer!

2021-06-24T06:05:08Z

When most car companies were still toddling in the field of fuel vehicles, BYD focused on the new energy market; when the wave of new energy came, BYD focused on the safety of electric vehicles. In the new energy market, BYD always seems to be at the forefront of the industry in terms of breadth and depth. As the flagship model of BYD’s ten years of sharpening swords, Han, which was launched last year, has gathered years of experience accumulated by BYD in the field of new energy. In terms of design, intelligence, safety, and cruising range, BYD Han already has enough The strength is the benchmark model of the same level. This is also reflected in the sales data. Since its launch in July last year, BYD Han’s sales have continued to grow. After breaking through the 10,000 mark in November last year, it has continued to maintain a monthly sales of about 12,000. In the past March, Han EV achieved a good result of 10,323 vehicles. Up to now, BYD Han’s cumulative sales have exceeded 60,000, making it the only Chinese brand medium and large sedan that has sold more than 10,000 a month. For most electric vehicles currently on the market, cruising range and intelligence are still the focus of their emphasis. For BYD, which has a deep accumulation in the field of new energy, while having the mainstream endurance of the same level, it also focuses on the most fundamental and important safety issues of electric vehicles. Beginning last year, when almost all new energy vehicles used a large number of ternary lithium batteries, BYD went the other way, and launched a lithium iron phosphate blade battery with greater endurance and improved safety. , Let the lithium iron phosphate battery return to public view. At the recent BYD new car launch conference, BYD President Wang Chuanfu said: “Safety is the greatest luxury of pure electric vehicles”, which once again reflects BYD’s deep understanding of luxury electric vehicles. Where you can see, the blade battery shows BYD’s extremely powerful ability, and where you can’t see, BYD also has enough sincerity. In addition to explicit crash tests and battery pack safety performance tests, BYD in the new era also pays attention to hidden car health and safety issues, including volatile organic compounds VOC, car odor intensity VOI, and electromagnetic radiation EMR. Three indicators. As for what they do, I believe that many people have heard statements like “the pungent smell of a new car can cause cancer” and “the radiation of an electric car will lose leg hair”, and these tests exist to quantify these effects. This tells consumers the extent to which these factors affect human health. Regarding the VOC test of volatile organic compounds, according to public information, BYD started its research on volatile organic compounds in 2009 and established a complete laboratory in 2014. In addition to the conventional pentabenzene trialdehyde, it also monitors possible carcinogenicity. The detection classification has been refined to 19 items. While far exceeding the national standard, BYD also tried to simulate field tests under real usage scenarios. In addition to testing in a closed environment where various conditions such as temperature, wind direction, and irradiation angle can be controlled, the air in the car will be tested after exposure to the sun for more than 8 hours when Shenzhen is the hottest. It is understood that the cost of this one of the few domestic closed test cabins alone has reached 5 million yuan. Such a huge scale not only makes the car life lament that BYD is really too willing to pay for it. In addition to professional instrument testing, BYD has also set up a “Golden Nose” team to conduct odor detection at different positions and angles in the car. It is understood that this team only recruits people who are highly sensitive to odors. During the period of duty, the inspectors must stay away from tobacco and alcohol, and there must be no odors on their bodies. This is a group of people with special skills who continue to escort BYD’s car air health. In addition, I believe that in the early years, many people have heard the rumor that “driving an electric car will lose leg hair or hair”, which makes many people sneer at electric cars. In response to this problem, BYD invited a large number of BYD taxi drivers to confirm in early 2020, and the final conclusion is that the electromagnetic radiation of BYD electric vehicles has almost no effect on the human body. Regarding how small this “impact” is, BYD also “quantified” it through EMR electromagnetic radiation experiments. The results show that BYD Han’s electromagnetic radiation intensity during high-power operation is only about 2% of the national standard, which is equivalent to The household 40W incandescent lamp is at a level 3 meters away, and the instantaneous maximum value at full throttle is less than 8%, which is equivalent to a level within 50 cm of a 40W incandescent lamp. In the introduction by Dr. Chen Xiaohong of BYD EMC Technology Research Department and Automotive Engineering Research Institute, there is a sentence that impresses automobile life: “We are fully committed to the era of intelligence, but the things behind it must also be paid attention to.” Behind any technology. , There are countless experimental guarantees, and behind BYD Han’s successful entry into the domestic C-class luxury pure electric vehicle market, it is precisely such a countless perfect pursuit of details and quality. The so-called luxury, but so. Note: The above pictures are from the official brand

A low-key and powerful luxury SUV, the Beggar version has 224 horsepower, dual independent suspension + four-wheel drive, and is very durable.

2021-06-24T03:10:07Z

Nowadays, many car companies have begun to build models with relatively affordable prices. Even some luxury brands are no exception. For example, Audi Q2L, DS7 and other models are even more affordable luxury cars. The model I want to introduce to you today is also a medium-sized SUV model from a luxury brand, but its price-performance ratio is very good, and the price may be more affordable than Buick Enkewei. It is the Hongqi HS5. The price is 183,800 yuan. Because the income of many consumers has increased significantly now, everyone has higher requirements for the comfort and quality of cars. Luxury brand models undoubtedly have very obvious advantages in this regard, so Sales will go up. For example, the sales of Hongqi HS5 exceeded 20,000 in the two months at the beginning of this year. As a domestically-produced model at the 200,000 level, this sales performance is indeed very difficult, after all, even the very popular Buick Enkewei In those two months, only 23,000 units were sold. It can be seen from this that the Chinese people’s acceptance of domestic cars is getting higher and higher, and it also proves that the strength of the Hongqi HS5 is not in vain. Low-key appearance, luxury and connotation Although the Hongqi HS5 is a medium-sized SUV model from a luxury brand, its pricing is indeed very low-key, and its appearance is as low-key as its pricing. The appearance of Hongqi HS5 looks very connotative. Although it is slightly low-key, the overall sense of luxury and class is also very sufficient. After all, Hongqi, the car company, still has very deep experience in manufacturing luxury models. Although the overall style of the Hongqi HS5 is low-key enough, because it incorporates a lot of luxury elements into the details, its appearance is very high-grade when viewed in the sun. Unlike the front face part, the side of the Hongqi HS5 brings a solid and heavy visual sense to the editor, because the shape of the side of the body is relatively powerful. If you compare it with the Audi Q5L If so, the waistline of the Hongqi HS5 body is obviously more muscular. In addition, the body size of the Hongqi HS5 is also very good, with the domineering 20-inch two-color wheels, so the sense of luxury on the side of the entire body is very good. The biggest highlight of the rear part of the car is its taillights. Because the internal structure of the taillights presents an arrow-feather-like shape, the entire rear of the car looks more fashionable. Luxury and exquisite design coexist in the car For a domestic luxury car, the luxury in the interior is an indispensable element, and the Hongqi HS5 is equally good in this regard. First of all, it is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel and a central control screen as standard. Because it uses a joint screen design, the sense of technology is more brilliant than Buick Encore. As for the sense of grade, the editor believes that the sense of grade in the car of the Hongqi HS5 is not at all inferior to the Audi Q5L. The materials in the entire interior are different, and different models have different combinations, no matter which combination can match a very strong texture. The leather material is wrapped with the bright black piano paint veneer, the overall atmosphere is very luxurious, and it also looks full of exquisite atmosphere. The body length of the Hongqi HS5 reached 4760 mm, the wheelbase reached 2870 mm, and the width and height of the car were 1907 mm and 1700 mm, respectively. From the perspective of length, width and height, the data of Hongqi HS5 is indeed a full circle larger than Buick Enkewei, so in terms of the performance of the car’s interior space, the Hongqi HS5 is obviously better. The overall comfort can also be among the best among SUVs of the same class, because its cushion padding is very soft, the headrest is also very wide, and it also has an adjustment function. The Beggar version has 224 horsepower The power of the Hongqi HS5 also makes the editor very satisfied. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. Even the Beggar version can produce a maximum horsepower of 224 horsepower and a maximum torque of 340. In terms of transmission, the entire system is also equipped with a 6-speed automated manual gearbox as standard, and some models are also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system. The biggest advantage of this combination of power is that it has a relatively high level of comfort, and at the same time it is very durable and durable. While the shifting action is exceptionally smooth, the fuel economy is also relatively good. The chassis is also equipped with dual independent suspension. The overall driving quality is very guaranteed, and the high-level sense of dynamic driving is also available. to sum up As a domestically produced luxury model, the Hongqi HS5 can gain a foothold in the highly competitive mid-size SUV market, which means that it does possess extraordinary strength. The Hongqi HS5 can definitely satisfy consumers’ pursuit of high-quality luxury cars. Its three major parts are very durable and durable. The space in the car is also large. In addition, the pricing is also very realistic. Therefore, the editor believes that the Hongqi HS5 does It is a very low-key domestic luxury SUV model.

Refueling pure electric SUV test drive BYD Tang DM-i

2021-06-24T00:15:11Z

[爱卡汽车新能源频道原创] Since its official release at the beginning of this year, BYD’s DM-i hybrid technology has quickly gained the attention of a large number of consumers. The sales of Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i, which were listed in the early stage, are very hot, and even the supply is in short supply. The finale Tang DM-i will be officially launched at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show on April 19, and we have already tested this flagship model with ultra-low fuel consumption. Compared with the previous 2021 Tang DM, the new Tang DM-i has basically no changes in appearance and interior trim. Since most of my friends are already very familiar with the design of Tang DM-i, this time we get straight to the subject, let’s talk about the performance of DM-i hybrid technology on this big guy. BYD Tang DM (inquiry module, please do not edit manually, if you need to delete, please right-click on the picture to delete the inquiry) I believe everyone is already familiar with BYD Tang. The average transaction price of Tang series models is more than 200,000 yuan, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 200,000 units. This is an achievement that other Chinese brand models cannot match. The Tang DM-i, the latest occupant of the Tang family, has almost the same exterior and interior design as the 2021 Tang DM. The biggest difference between them lies in the DM-i hybrid system carried by the former. BYD has launched a number of plug-in hybrid models. Before the advent of DM-i technology, BYD’s hybrid models were known for their acceleration, and the zero-hundred results in less than 5 seconds were enough to make most performance cars ashamed, but their fuel-saving effects could only be said to be mediocre. The DM-i is a hybrid technology that is known for its fuel-saving rate. Its engine is not strong, and its power output mainly comes from the electric motor. What kind of performance will the DM-i technology have on the big guy like BYD Tang? DM-i technology is a plug-in hybrid technology. The entire system consists of a high-efficiency engine, an EHS electric hybrid system integrating two motors and reducers, and a set of hybrid blade batteries. An efficient engine is the basis for low fuel consumption in hybrid vehicles. Tang DM-i’s engine is a turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine for Xiaoyun-plug-in hybrids, with a maximum power of 102kW (139 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 231Nm. Its compression ratio has reached 12.5, VTG variable area turbocharger is applied, and the design of canceling gear train is adopted, and its peak thermal efficiency has reached 40%. In the field of turbocharged engines, such high thermal efficiency is relatively rare. There are at least ten configurations of hybrid systems, each with different characteristics, and how to “mix” is very important. The EHS electric hybrid system in DM-i technology is equivalent to an E-CVT composed of two motors, which completely replaces the traditional mechanical gearbox, and is similar to the Japanese hybrid, especially the Honda i-MMD system. It can realize series connection, parallel connection and direct engine drive. DM-i is mainly electric, and it is pure electric or series mode in most working conditions According to the different driving motors, the EHS electric hybrid system can be divided into three types, namely EHS132, EHS145 and EHS160. Tang DM-i uses the powerful EHS145 and EHS160, and the comprehensive maximum power of the system is 173kW (235 horsepower) and 254kW (345 horsepower) respectively. It is worth mentioning that the motor speed in the EHS electric hybrid system can reach 16000 rpm, using flat wire windings and oil-cooled heat dissipation, and has the advantages of small size and high efficiency. In terms of battery, Tang DM-i uses the blade battery that BYD is proud of. Its shape is a long and narrow thin sheet, hence the name “Blade”. The biggest feature of the blade battery is safety, even if it is pierced by a steel needle, it will not catch fire. It is essentially a lithium iron phosphate battery that directly composes a battery pack through a large blade-shaped battery cell to achieve an increase in energy density. The battery pack capacity of Tang DM-i is 9.98kWh/21.5kWh, and the pure electric cruising range is 52km/112km. Our test drive this time is the flagship model Tang DM-i 112km honorable, and its pre-sale price is 224,800 yuan. After the vehicle was started, we quickly discovered the difference between the Tang DM-i and BYD’s previous plug-in hybrid models: Although the power of the former is not as strong, it is smoother and quieter, and it drives almost like a pure electric model. As far as driving performance is concerned, we can completely regard Tang DM-i as a pure electric SUV that can refuel. The reason why the hybrid power system has a higher threshold is mainly because there are multiple power sources in the system, and the different combinations between them produce complex power output modes. It is the manufacturers facing the same driving experience under different modes. Great challenge. The biggest improvement of Tang DM-i is that it maintains a similar driving experience in different hybrid modes, different driving modes, and with or without electricity. This is different from its electric hybrid concept. Not open. In most working conditions, Tang DM-i’s hybrid system is in pure electric or series mode. The power comes from the electric motor. The engine is either stopped or used to generate electricity, and does not participate in driving the vehicle. Under the power-deficient high-speed working condition, the parallel mode will account for a larger proportion. At this time, the engine and the drive motor drive the wheels together. In pure electric mode, Tang DM-i can reach a maximum speed of 140km/h. When the battery is low or the accelerator pedal is quickly depressed, the engine starts to give power to the wheels, but the process of intervention is difficult to detect. We manually switched the EV/HEV mode and tried several times, only the roar of the engine speed after the throttle is pulled up will remind us of its existence. The energy recovery intensity of Tang DM-i can be adjusted on the central control screen. Under the standard intensity, the energy recovery intensity is relatively slight, and will not bring obvious deceleration. The recovered power displayed on the instrument panel is about 11kW; at higher intensity, the energy recovery intensity is increased, but it will not affect it. In terms of comfort, the recovered power displayed on the dashboard is about 25kW. When energy recovery is combined with braking, the recovered power can reach 75kW. Thanks to the electric-based hybrid system, the NVH of the Tang DM-i performs well, and the interior is very quiet. However, after the speed exceeds 70km/h, the wind noise in the A-pillar area is more obvious and needs to be optimized. In terms of chassis, the Tang DM-i adopts a front Macpherson rear multi-link suspension, and the battery pack between the front and rear axles reduces the center of gravity of the vehicle. The suspension adjustment is moderately soft and hard, and it can also give the driver a strong confidence in the winding mountain road. At the same time, it can also play a good filtering effect in the face of the bumps of the road. How to choose between Tang DM-i and Tang DM? The advantage of the former is fuel consumption. It is suitable for most home users. It not only has low car cost, but also has long battery life, which will show advantages in long-distance self-driving tours. The latter has outstanding acceleration performance and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. Users who have higher requirements for power. Dynamic performance: outstanding ride comfort As mentioned earlier, the exterior and interior design of the Tang DM-i is no different from the 2021 Tang DM, and this design has been verified by the market. BYD’s iconic Dragon Face design language is already very familiar to everyone, and it is particularly magnificent when applied to the Tang DM-i model with full sense of volume. The body size of Tang DM-i is also the same as Tang DM, the length, width and height are 4870mm/1950mm/1725mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2820mm. The tail shape is round and full, and the penetrating taillights widen the visual width. The new car has applied blackened design elements in many places, such as B-pillar, C-pillar, D-pillar, as well as the C-shaped decorative strips on the wheel eyebrows and front and rear bumpers, which make the whole car look a little more wild and dynamic. The 2021 Tang series models including Tang DM-i have been significantly optimized in terms of interior decoration. The interior of the old model is minimalist and looks very plain, while the 2021 model uses more high-end materials, with richer layers, and enhances the sense of luxury. The instrument panel alone has soft slush plastic materials, piano paint panels, metal brushed texture panels and Ultrasuede microfiber suede fabrics similar to Alcantara. In addition, this Ultrasuede microfiber suede fabric is also used in a large area on the door panel, which greatly improves the sense of quality. Intelligentization is an important development direction of the current automotive industry. BYD has also continuously updated its DiLink intelligent network connection system and launched version 3.0. The most significant upgrade is in terms of hardware. The size of the central control screen has been increased from 14.3 inches to 15.6 inches, and the screen frame has been greatly narrowed, which is full of technological sense. In terms of software, mainstream functions are equipped, although the interaction logic is a bit messy, but the experience of using it is not bad. The biggest feature of this large screen is that it can be rotated. At present, many apps in the car-machine system are from mobile phones, and developers rarely make special adaptations for cars and machines, so most of the apps are vertical screen applications, and the experience on horizontal screens is general. BYD’s rotating large screen is more friendly to vertical screen applications. For example, Douyin has a better experience on BYD DiLink. In order to take care of the co-pilot passengers, this large screen also has a split-screen display function. The driver can watch the navigation and the co-pilot can watch the entertainment function. Everyone can choose what they need. As a medium and large SUV, space is a big selling point of Tang DM-i. The car uses a 7-seater layout, the second row of seats can slide back and forth in a larger range, and the angle of the seat back can also be adjusted in two gears. When the second-row seats are adjusted to the frontmost position, the third-row seats also have ample legroom. However, since the cushion is very low, the sitting posture is not ideal, and it is only suitable for children. Most of the time, the third-row seats are folded up, giving the luggage compartment a flat floor and plenty of space. In addition, the second row of seats can also be down at a ratio of 4/6 to further increase the loading capacity of the car. Edit comment: With the release of version 2.0 of the “Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Roadmap”, hybrid vehicles have become the focus of research and development for many manufacturers, and a large number of plug-in hybrid models will be launched this year. But in terms of popularity, BYD’s DM-i technology is still at the forefront. The reason is that everyone is reducing fuel consumption, but only BYD has achieved the level of fuel consumption of DM-i technology that can compete with Japanese hybrid systems. Tang DM-i not only solves the fuel consumption problem, its smooth driving experience and heel-to-foot dynamic response are also impressive. I believe it will also be a hot-selling model. Appearance and interior: basically unchanged

Auto Show·Creation and Innovation | Shanghai Auto Show: An Attack to “Embrace Change”

2021-06-23T21:20:08Z

The wind comes from the east. The 19th Shanghai Auto Show has entered a countdown. The theme of this auto show is “Embracing Change”. The subtext is obvious: A new era is coming. So, in the new era, what kind of changes will spread to the three camps of independent, joint venture and luxury? Autonomy of “home battles” The booming independent brands are even more “menacing” on their home courts. “More than 150,000 SUVs grab the public, and 300,000 electric cars grab the BBA”, Geely shouted such a slogan, this time the Shanghai Auto Show not only launched a new Xingyue L, cut into the hinterland of the joint venture SUV, but also launched Ultra Krypton, disrupting high-end new energy. The price is full of confidence, and the once questioned design is now getting better and better. This time Changan UNI-T will launch a sports special edition and a new design language CS55 PLUS. In addition, GAC Trumpchi’s Shadow Leopard is also unique in design. Really worthy of appearance, become the protagonist of his own accord. However, a good-looking skin is always inseparable from “hard core” technology. With the continuous deepening of independent innovation, from Geely’s vast architecture platform, Changan’s Blue Whale power system to BYD’s blade battery, international giants are constantly seeking cooperation. This also means that The self-owned brands with “price ratio to win” have now successfully switched to “technological advancement to win”. In addition to technological innovation, high-end efforts are also the essence of the reform of independent brands in recent years. In 2016 and 2017, the WEY brand under Great Wall and the Lynk & Co brand under Geely came out one after another. Last year, Dongfeng and SAIC Roewe also released Lantu and R brands respectively, targeting the high-end new energy market. “The high-end new energy market is a strategic choice for independent brands, and it is also a good opportunity.” Nowadays, independent brands have taken a certain advantage in the field of new energy vehicles. The development of “changing lanes and overtaking” previously predicted by experts has gradually changed from a dream to a reality. “One Vision” joint venture “If you don’t succeed in China, you will lose in the world.” For joint venture car companies, how to better adapt to the Chinese market is one of the eternal problems. And when the weather vane of the Chinese auto market changes, The joint venture appears to be “not active.” Japanese giants Toyota and Nissan have always been ambiguous about the “new four modernizations”. At the end of last year, Toyota’s head Akio Toyoda even expressed public dissatisfaction with the “electric vehicle revolution” that is currently emerging. He pointedly pointed out that the auto industry welcomes new entrants and anyone can build a car as long as they have technical capabilities. But Akio Toyoda also said that “Tesla” only sells “recipes” to consumers, and Toyota has a real kitchen and chef. Compared with the “ambiguity” of the Japanese system, the Korean system, the law system, or the powerless. In recent years, the market share of Korean and French cars has been declining. According to the latest data, the share of Korean cars has fallen from 4.9% in the past to 3.4%, and French cars have dropped from 1.4% to 0.2%. How to turn around is more urgent for the situation of constant marginalization. However, there are also chasers. American brands are coming late. “Being late may not necessarily lose”, the new models built by SAIC General Motors can not be underestimated in terms of electrification and intelligent connectivity. The German public also smelled the crisis early. At the Volkswagen Group’s annual meeting two years ago, the chairman of the board of directors of the Volkswagen Group Deiss announced that by 2028, 22 million electric vehicles will be delivered globally, and more than half will come from the Chinese market. In addition to the “radical” slogan, its actions are also very rapid. Following the launch of ID.4 by North and South Volkswagen in January this year, the Shanghai Auto Show will immediately launch the exclusive ID.6 family for the Chinese market. The speed of product introduction is a bit off guard. If you change, you can lose the market. In other words, whoever can catch the hearts of Chinese consumers faster will be able to return to the market. The joint venture brand that was once so far ahead needs to hold on to its own turf. “Disrupted” luxury “Tesla” has been jealous for a long time. In the era of fuel vehicles, BBA (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi) firmly grasped the right to speak and became the benchmark of luxury. In the era of electric vehicles, Tesla has become the mainstream, and its performance, evolution speed and price are all new benchmarks. Its performance is crushing BBA. As a result, a “pure electric counterattack” was officially launched. According to information from Feilv Automobile, at the Shanghai Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz has brought three new pure electric models of “ABS” from the Mercedes EQ family; BMW brands iX and i4 will be unveiled in China, and then listed in China this year; In addition, Audi Q4 e-tron and domestic Audi e-tron will also be unveiled during the Shanghai Auto Show. It is not difficult to see that in the current increasingly fierce competition, BBA is accelerating the completion of the electrified product line map. Only through the continuous penetration of products into the market hinterland can we hope to gain a firm foothold in the future era. The first-line main battlefield continues to expand, and the second-line camp is constantly evolving. In the century of automobile development history, luxury brands have always played the leading role, but during the transition period of old and new cars, their opponents have begun to change: the red flag, which has a dark horse, has already been sitting in the second-line sales crown. And the average price of Weilai Automobile, which just mentioned 100,000+, has exceeded 400,000 yuan. Market sales and ranking are certainly important, But on another new track, who can keep the lead is equally important. With new trends and changes, the auto market is undergoing new changes every day, and the best way to deal with changes is to “embrace changes.”

Li Shufu made a desperate move. Behind the debut of Extreme Krypton, which is the peak, is the tearing of the entire Geely Automobile.

2021-06-23T18:25:07Z

Hello everyone, I am Liu Honghong from the Future Investment Research School. The update frequency has been reduced recently, mainly because the Shanghai Auto Show 2021 is about to come, so there is a lot of work that needs to be prepared in advance, and I don’t expect to make any money when I write this number. I will share with you the industry after work. For some of the insights and lack of energy, please forgive me. There have been many new cars on the market recently, and I believe many of you have also paid attention to the newly launched Ultra Krypton cars. I can’t help but say that 266,000 can get a 712km endurance car, which is still very powerful. In terms of channels, it is basically learning the way of Weilai: Although on the surface it seems that Geely has created a new Krypton brand on the basis of Lynk & Co in order to enter the pure electric market, but the status of Krypton is really unusual within Geely. And this unusual status was obtained at the expense of Lynk & Co, the most successful of its own brands… Before the establishment of Jikrypton, Geely’s layout in the field of pure electricity was actually very complete: Maple Leaf Automobile focuses on pure electricity at a price of 50,000 to 150,000 Geely Emgrand EV and Emgrand GSe focus on pure electricity at a price range of 100,000 to 150,000, positioning the compact class The pure electric brand Geometry car focuses on pure electric at a price of 150,000 to 200,000 yuan, and is positioned as a compact (actually Emgrand’s shell replacement series) Independent brand Lynk & Co focuses on the 150,000-250,000-priced fuel vehicle market, and plans to launch Lynk & Co’s Zero model, as well as the large SUV Volvo XC90 shell changer EX11. The luxury brand Volvo focuses on the price range of 250,000-900,000. The price of the compact pure electric SUV XC40 RECHARGE is set at 300,000 to 400,000. The subsequent two-wheel drive model is expected to be in the range of 200,000 to 250,000. The original Volvo’s high terminal brand Polestar, the price range of Polestar 2 launched is basically 250,000 to 400,000 In addition, Smart, which locates mini-cars, will also be purely electrified with the help of Geely In fact, you can find that Geely has almost all products from mini cars to large SUVs in China, and I learned that in the original plan of Lynk & Co, there are also pure electric large MPVs. Such a complete product line, if only the domestic market is considered, it can be said that even the BBA in the joint venture is not as rich as Geely’s product line. With the dual flagship models of ZERO+EX11, Lynk & Co’s brand power has been greatly improved again. (Nissan, PSA, Honda, Toyota, there are no XC90 models in China) ――This is Geely’s nearly perfect electrification strategic arrangement before the emergence of the extremely krypton car. Geely Auto was born after Li Shufu stepped down as chairman of Geely Group and An Conghui took over; An Conghui’s original CEO position was taken over by Geely Vice President Gan Jiayue. After a series of personnel changes, Li Shufu was appointed as chairman of Jikrypton Company, and An Conghui was appointed as CEO. Some media commented this way: Like Xiaomi Motors, “Ultra Krypton” is also the top project. Since then, the focus of the group’s resources is self-evident. Very Krypton is likely to be positioned as an arrow brand that drives the entire group’s electric strategy. The emergence of Jikrypton is not as simple as a new pure electric brand, because with An Conghui’s appointment as the CEO of Jikrypton, there are also the three-electric department and the intelligent driving electrical architecture software development department. This leads to a situation: For other Geely brands, such as Volvo, Lotus, Polestar, and Smart, it is necessary to pay development fees to Pole Krypton to obtain technologies such as three-electric power and intelligent driving electrical architecture software. ――This is equivalent to changing Li Shufu’s money from one pocket to another. In fact, many big car companies have the phenomenon of going around inside, after all, this is conducive to amortization of costs, but the most special thing about extremely krypton is that due to the sudden nature of extremely krypton independence, As a result, in addition to taking away the Zero model from Lynk & Co and renamed it to Extreme Krypton 001, the Jikrypton brand also took away almost all pure electric models and related plans. This is nothing at all. After all, there is nothing wrong with having an exclusive pure electric brand. The only regret is that the ace of Zero, which originally belonged to Lynk & Co, was taken away from the opportunity in the new energy market. (The very Krypton 001 shape is the split headlight shape of Lynk & Co. It is the case that it is too late to change the shell after changing the standard) It would be a good thing to say that the pure electric model plan taken away can help Gekr to become a new energy brand with a rich product line of models. After all, people’s recognition of Lynk & Co is 150,000 to 250,000, and if Gekr Achieving 200-300,000 brand recognition is a complete success. But this does not seem to be the case. Because of the SEA vast architecture used by Jikrypton, it can be known from various previous news that although Volvo, Polarstar, Smart, and Lotus all use the SEA vast architecture platform, they are all similar to Jikrypton’s own Product has nothing to do. This also means, Although extremely arrogant took away Geely’s three-electric department and the intelligent driving electrical architecture software development department, most of the research and development resources of this huge team have been invested in Volvo, Polestar, Smart, and Lotus models. On the other hand, even Smart needs to develop a SEA sub-platform with different bandwidths due to size issues. This is almost fatal for the Ultra Krypton car, which currently has only one Ultra Krypton 001 model. After all, what you need to build a car now is to come up with the best products in the shortest time. Looking back at the ups and downs of new car-building forces over the years 2017-2021, We will find that the lesson that the product cannot keep up with the time point is still vivid. The most typical is the Xiaopeng G3. The 19 models were launched too late, resulting in 20 models with a battery life of 500km, but the price is almost the same as that of the 19 models with only 351km. This even triggered a group of G3 car owners to pull banners to defend their rights. This almost caused a fatal blow to the newborn Xiaopeng at the time, and the founder He Xiaopeng had to write an apology: ―The delay of Xiaopeng’s 19 models has caused such a big problem, and there are currently known products from Volvo, Polestar, Smart, and Lotus that need to be developed. This means that the R&D resources left to the very krypton brand itself have become very small. The extremely krypton official once said that one model will be launched every year in the next few years. (The live broadcast said at least two new cars per year, referring to SEA-based models) After the 001 model, the only known follow-up is the small electric vehicle BC1E, which is positioned for urban commuting, and the EF1E, which has already appeared on the road to determine the position of the C Family Crossover model. Like the ZERO code-named DC1E (now pole krypton 001), it comes from the SEA platform. This means that 2021 will be extremely krypton 001, and the models of 2022 and 2023 have been locked, which are the aforementioned small electric vehicle BC1E and large pure electric MPVEF1E respectively. It is good to have a planned model in the future, but the problem is that the two subsequent models are not the ones that are in volume. (The size is either too big or too small) This also means that if you look at the official one-year product and the currently exposed products, the extremely krypton has gone at the wrong rhythm since its birth-if the first 001 can still be used, then the follow-up The product characteristics of the small SUV and large MPV are destined to be almost difficult to move. This is absolutely abnormal from the normal product planning of a car company. After all, when friends and merchants are working on the mainstream market of 150,000 to 300,000 (there are Xpeng P5 and Mustang Mach-E in the near future), but very krypton lacks a mass model similar to Tesla model 3. Known product planning, this model has a high probability of not having it in the next two years. ―― A new brand with Li Shufu as the chairman and An Conghui as the CEO, and let Geely invest in its all-electric products ALL IN, is in an embarrassing situation where its own family is developing 2 products and developing at least 5 products externally. , This makes people wonder: Does Geely really want to build the Jikrypton brand? Someone can’t help but raise the question “Do you want to make money from selling cars or to make research and development expenses?” If it is only a little difficult for extremely krypton research and development resources, what is worse is that Lynk & Co, which has been taken away from all the pure electric model plans, seems to have no future. We must know that Geely behind Lynk & Co is actually facing a faint crisis. ――Now the price of Geely brand is getting lower and lower. The pricing of Xingrui and Xingyue L has caused Geely’s brand to be weaker than Great Wall Changan. The only hope of raising the brand lies in Geely’s own Lynk & Co. For Lynk & Co, although the 01-05 models are the base, there is a problem in that they are all concentrated in the compact market, while the upcoming EX11 is a product that is positioned as a large SUV. Lynk & Co’s product line is now a group of compact + a shell-changing Volvo XC90. This group of compact products uses the CMA platform. A fact is The potential of the CMA platform applied to pure electric vehicles has reached its limit on Polestar 2. ――In order to gain space for the battery on a non-native pure electric platform as much as possible, the front floor of Polestar 2 is actually inclined downwards. Putting your feet up when you are not driving will make your ankles uncomfortable. At this level, the battery life cannot catch up with the Tesla model 3. So Lynk & Co really needs the SEA platform. If Ultra Krypton is not dismantled, then, on another timeline, Lynk & Co’s product line will look like this: Fuel oil 01-05 Compact cars and SUVs EX11 medium and large SUV Pure electric ZERO medium and large cross High-end pure electric business MPV Small SUV This means that when Lynk & Co has a 01-05 base plate, With the dual flagship models of ZERO+EX11, Lynk & Co’s brand power has been greatly improved again, and After increasing the sales of base models, plus ZERO itself has a high probability of becoming an explosive model, at that time, a Lynk & Co brand whose price steadily exceeds that of ordinary joint ventures, and there may be a stable sales volume of 30,000 to 40,000 , Lynk & Co will usher in its own brand new development opportunities. The 01-05 cars can also be followed by a pure electric version to complete the brand upgrade. This also means that the Geely brand has also been promoted. But now all these possibilities are gone. Originally for Lynk & Co to upgrade its products, the purely electrified ZERO was classified as Extreme Krypton. However, when Extreme Krypton has been developing multiple models of different brands at the same time, it means that even Lynk & Co will re-plan the models based on the SEA platform in the future. It is also difficult to quickly come up with new products within 2-3 years. In the words of a person in the industry, that is that the brawny Lynk & Co suddenly limped and was torn apart into two incomplete individuals. Extreme Krypton does not have enough products, and Lynk & Co does not have pure electricity, although I don’t know how far the two brands can go after the separation. But I sincerely hope that the most successful Lynk & Co and the newly born Jikrypton among the independent brands will continue to tell the story of Chinese cars. After all, we’ve heard stories like this since we were young: “The three brothers picked up a chopstick and broke it all at once. Then they took a bundle of chopsticks, and it was different. Everyone kept folding chopsticks. So, three Brothers understand, chopsticks are like this, and people and people are even more like this. Together, the strength is greater.” (Finish) Postscript: From an investment perspective, the split Ultra Krypton is expected to be weak in subsequent models and it is difficult to boost Geely’s stock price. I hope everyone will pay attention to the risks.

2.0T Tiggo 8. Is Xingtu TXL good?

2021-06-23T17:35:08Z

E V shopping guide Focus on new energy vehicle information and shopping guide attention Among the many 2.0T engines, the Chery F4J20 engine, which was first used on the Star Road, reached the book data of 254Ps (187kW)/390Nm, and is known as the strongest domestic four-cylinder engine. However, seeing the guide price of RMB 18.89-22.99 million for Lanyue 2.0T version, many people’s hearts are basically cold. Cash Tiggo 8 PLUS 1.6T Recently, we have seen two other new models equipped with this engine in the latest issue of the “Announcement on Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products” issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China. Tiggo 8 PLUS, Star Way TXL , The appearance of these two cars will further lower the price threshold of Chery’s engine. Among them, Tiggo 8 PLUS 2.0T will even control the price within 150,000. Tiggo 8 PLUS 390T declaration information Judging from the declared information, this 2.0T engine will have two adjustments of 390T and 400T, and its maximum power will be 187kW and 192kW respectively. From the tail point of view, its peak torque will be 390Nm and 400Nm respectively. We are already familiar with the “low-power version”, which is the one carried on Lanyue. The transmission uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (wet) developed by Wuhu Chery and manufactured by Liuzhou Wuling. Xingtu TXL 400T declaration information and High power version (Code-named F4J20C, with an additional suffix), the book data has been further increased. The book data of 192kW (261Ps) has surpassed the 2.0T engine of mainstream joint venture car companies, including Volkswagen EA888, Honda K20A, Ford EcoBoost series and so on. This is not the first time this engine has appeared in the catalog declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It will be applied in the future Lanyue and TLX. In terms of technical application, this F4J20 is basically the same as the previous F4J16, the mainstream CVVT, 350bar in-cylinder direct injection, high-efficiency tumble inlet, cylinder head integrated exhaust, electronically controlled turbo bypass valve, water-cooled intercooler, etc. Will not be absent. 350bar in-cylinder direct injection In addition, suppliers are also many internationally renowned “big men” such as Bosch, Valeo, and Honeywell. Perhaps this is also the core reason why Chery dared to violently adjust them. High tumble inlet There are rumors on the Internet that Chery’s self-developed 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and Aisin’s horizontal 8AT can’t hold the explosive power of 400 Nm. It’s still unknown when Wanliyang’s self-developed planetary gear transmission will come out. What will Chery do in the future? What transmission solutions will be used is also worth looking forward to. At present, Great Wall’s 7DCT450 dual-clutch transmission is a good choice, but Great Wall Motor has not yet supplied transmissions. In addition, you can also consider ZF’s horizontal 9AT. However, this transmission is old and can be compatible with the future. The hybrid power is a problem. Xingtu brand car product planning It is worth mentioning that the Starway brand currently plans two high-end sedan products positioned as A+ and B+ respectively, with prices of 100,000-150,000 and 150,000-200,000 respectively. This series of models will also likely use Chery. With this 2.0T engine, competitors are directly targeting mid-to-high-end models such as Geely Xingrui and Hongqi H5. to sum up For a car company, the development capabilities of high-end powertrains largely determine what height the brand can reach, such as Great Wall 4N20 2.0T, Geely Drive-E 2.0T, SAIC’s Blue Core 2.0T… .It is these “hard dishes” that support the powerful hard goods such as H6/Biggou, Xingyue, and iMAX8. Naturally, Chery Automobile is not far behind. The 2.0T engine that has been holding back for many years is a good lesson for its peers. If Tiggo 8 PLUS 2.0T can control the price within 150,000, for the same level of Star Yue L, UNI-K, etc. The model is still very lethal. End

Don’t be afraid of God’s opponents, just afraid of “Pig Teammate”-“Yi Ge” Geely, why can’t Geely drive the car?

2021-06-23T16:55:06Z

The pains of the traditional automobile industry are still in progress. Geely, which used to be the boss of Chinese independent brands, does not seem to have made much waves in new energy vehicles. Its pure electric vehicle brands are still in a tepid state. Behind the scenery of “Brother Yi”, there are also difficulties in my heart. 1 Strong as auspicious, can’t bring geometry Geometry came vigorously. April 2019, Singapore. Geely Group will hold the launch conference of Geometry A, the first model of the new new energy brand Geometry. This press conference made it clear that Geometry brand officially stepped onto the new energy stage. As the first product of Geely New Energy after its independence, Geometry A has brought great expectations to the industry with its shining debut in the Lion City. At the press conference, Geely Automobile Group President and CEO An Conghui said that Geometry’s mission is to completely define the evolution direction of new energy vehicles. He said, “In this new energy storm, the Geometry brand will become its eye-catcher!” Looking at it now, the “Wind Eye” is gradually closing its eyes, and the two products under the Geometry brand, Geometry A and Geometry C, are getting worse and worse. According to statistics from the Passenger Association, in 2019, the annual sales volume of Geometry brand was only 12,000, which is less than 1% of Geely Automobile’s annual sales; the total sales volume of Geometry A in 2020 was only 5051, a year-on-year decrease of 44.6%. New products Geometry C sold only 5277 units, and the total sales volume of the entire Geometry brand was over 10,000 units. The Tesla Model 3 sold 137,459 vehicles. Geely’s strength is of course unquestionable. From 2017 to 2019, it has been firmly in the top position of Chinese brand passenger car sales for three consecutive years. But even relying on the strong endorsement of the domestic sales of independent brands, it did not open up the market for its Geometry. Is Geometry cars too young? Or is the competition in the new energy market too cruel? 2 Geometry of “criticism” The biggest criticism in the market is that Geometry A has no innovations, but an upgrade of Emgrand EV. When consumers buy pure electric vehicles, in addition to low-end urban scooters, consumers want to buy those with a sense of technology and advanced technology. The “pure electricity” platform is a representative of advanced technology. Because of the development concept of fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles, the body structure is different. Compared with traditional oil-to-electricity, pure electric platforms tend to have more advantages, because the performance will be better in terms of performance improvement, space experience, and driving quality. On the other hand, “oil-to-electricity” can effectively save costs and seize the market, but it cannot fully utilize the advantages that the electrified system should have. Although Geometry Auto is a new sub-brand of Geely, it does not use Geely’s new platform. Geometry A comes from the Geely GE platform, Emgrand EV also comes from this platform, Geometry A is improved and optimized from Emgrand EV, not a new platform that we usually understand from the redevelopment. Therefore, it is not difficult to find that even the new model Geometry A launched by a brand new brand can more or less find the shadow of Emgrand GL in appearance. Geometry C is like a sister to Emgrand GSe. In addition, due to the fuel platform and reserved enough loading space for large-capacity batteries, Geometry C, even as a later-marketed model, has a maximum range of only 550 kilometers, and the maximum range of Geometry APro, which was officially launched on April 12, is only 600Km. In today’s competitive environment where new cars are generally 600km+, and even 1000km+ battery life is planned to be achieved within one or two years, it is really not good-and the battery is installed under the chassis, and the probability of accidents caused by bumps is also high. At the strategic level, Geely’s determination and resources invested in the Geometry brand are not enough to support its ambitions. Smart electric vehicles are very expensive. So far, NIO has raised a total of 9.6 billion U.S. dollars, and Xiaopeng has also reached 7.7 billion U.S. dollars. The specific financial support for Geometry brand is unknown, but according to the financial report, Geely’s full-year net profit in 2020 is 5.57 billion yuan. Geometry, as a sub-brand of Geely, cannot raise funds independently, and obviously cannot get huge capital injections from new forces such as Weilai. At the tactical level, the style of play is still traditional. For example, in terms of sales, the direct sales model is already standard for new forces, and the geometry is still a traditional dealer. In terms of products, the interior and exterior design does not get rid of the traces of fuel vehicles, which is quite satisfactory. Insufficient technology configuration, the price is also positioned in the red sea of independent electric vehicles, the brand image of Geometry car and other low-end independent brands, entangled together. As early as 2015, Geely released its new energy vehicle development strategy-“Blue Geely Action”, and the pace of electrification transformation is the fastest among a group of independent brands. At that time, Geely claimed that by 2020, the sales of new energy vehicles will reach more than 90%, of which the sales of plug-in hybrids will account for 65%, and the sales of pure electric vehicles will account for 35%. However, Geely’s new energy products sold 68,142 vehicles last year, which was less than 5% of the total sales of 1.32 million vehicles, which is far from the previous target. The “Blue Geely Action” is the most unreliable strategic target in the automotive industry so far. It’s not too much. Zheng Zhuang, who was responsible for Geely’s new energy sales for two years, was replaced at the beginning of May last year, and Liu Zhifeng became the general manager of the new energy vehicle brand Geometry Sales Company. This also shows to a certain extent that Geely executives are dissatisfied with new energy sales. However, in the nearly one year since Liu Zhifeng took office, Geometry has not stopped sinking. Although Geometry C, which has a good product, is helping out, the market is still indifferent. So, are Zheng Zhuang and Liu Zhifeng unable to support geometry, or geometry has no meaning at all? 3 Departure from “Ultra Krypton” Comparing with Great Wall Motor’s Euler, BYD, etc., which are in full swing, coupled with the steadily advancing of new car-making forces, it is difficult for Geely not to worry about electrification. Geely has also formed an alliance for this, and has reached cooperation with Baidu, Tencent, Foxconn, and FF this year. Judging from Geely’s actions, the burden of catching up seems to fall on the brand-new Jikrypton brand. Geely officially announced that Ultra Krypton’s first model based on SEA’s vast intelligent evolutionary experience architecture will start bookings at the Shanghai Auto Show, and deliveries will begin in the fourth quarter. The market has never doubted Geely’s ability to build a good car. In the field of electric vehicles, it needs to be like the name of the new brand “Krypton”. Geely has sowed the seeds of hope in the electric vehicle market, but it needs to be nurtured, and what should be discarded must also be discarded. Take and write | Tian Tian edit | Jing Yuanzhi

Chinese brands play refitting, but they also look different

2021-06-23T16:16:06Z

More than a decade ago, when it came to the design and modification of Chinese car brands, consumers generally shook their heads and expressed their disapproval. At that time, most Chinese car brands in the concept car stage were “unexpected creations” of fresh graduates of the School of Design; when they were actually implemented in the mass production stage, they became sparse and ordinary, even the mediocrity of foreign cars. For. In the field of modification, most of them are based on the style of cheap auto parts city, and various brands simply can’t care about launching their own modified cars. It is undeniable that the conservative style does not make car companies make mistakes, but it also limits the development of Chinese car culture. Fortunately, with the rise of Chinese brands in the last 10 years, more and more car companies have made achievements in styling design and model modification that can convey the brand spirit and directly please consumers. Especially after the release of UNI-T, the first model of Changan’s high-end product series UNI Gravity last year, it pushed the design of Chinese brands to a new level. When I first saw the UNI-T, countless people would think it was a car model driven out of a science fiction movie. The futuristic styling and proportions, coupled with the rich and bold body colors, make the viewers can’t help but sigh: Now our Chinese brand has finally made a qualitative leap in design! After the double harvest of word of mouth and sales, Changan pursued the victory and released a sports version of UNI-T on April 6, which allowed countless car fans to see the modification potential of UNI-T! Today, we will take the opportunity of the release of the UNI-T sports model to talk about this new work that makes Changan stand at the pinnacle of domestic brand design! The newly released UNI-T sports model is based on the UNI-T’s original trendy and fluid appearance, with a more sporty sports package and contrast color matching. The front bumper and side skirts are embellished with bright yellow contrast color. The sports model has an exclusive tide blue color scheme, and the smooth lines of UNI-T seem to be surging waves. It has to be said that under the embellishment of the tide blue body and bright yellow lines, the UNI-T sports model will carry forward the original dynamic design even more, with a sense of hierarchy under the light and shadow. The rear of the sports model is also eye-catching. On the top of the roof, a larger carbon fiber texture spoiler is added on the basis of the original V-shaped tail. With the embellishment of the jet port of an airplane, it looks like the tail of a fighter jet. Domineering! The lower enclosure has also become a blackened design, supplemented by bright yellow lines embellishment, creating a stronger low lying and fighting atmosphere. The official sports model designed by the official end of the game allows more consumers to see the unlimited potential of UNI-T in terms of shape modification. I believe that as the number of vehicles continues to increase, more UNIs will appear on the road in the future. -T modified models. In addition to the fashionable appearance design, UNI-T is also very bold in the color matching of the body! Bright sky blue with bright yellow embellishments, the color scheme often used by luxury brands, is better presented on UNI-T. The overall performance is stylish and dynamic, exuding full vitality and Athletic breath. Of course, since it’s called a sports model, it’s far from enough to sport a package, and there must be an upgrade in sports performance. The UNI-T sports model uses four Continental MC6 high-performance sports tires of 245/45 R20 specifications, and is paired with front dual-piston calipers to provide the vehicle with excellent grip and braking capabilities. This is also in line with the positioning of its sports version, even if it is a bit more intense driving, it can be completely held. In addition, the sports version of the model also provides a catapult start function, which allows the vehicle to obtain a stronger power output when it starts accelerating. You know, for the models with dual-clutch gearboxes, the catapult start is not common, and it has only appeared on high-end sports cars such as Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R! At the beginning, we said that UNI-T belongs to the high-end product sequence of Changan UNI “Gravity”. Therefore, in addition to the outstanding appearance design, the interior should also be worthy of high-end. The newly launched sports model, based on the already luxurious interior design, is a step towards fashion and sports. The overall color scheme is based on dark colors, and the bright yellow contrast color design is used in the steering wheel stitching, the center console air conditioning outlet, and the handlebar area to make the car look more lively and well highlight the youth and sportiness of the vehicle. , Positioning of the trend. The grip area of the steering wheel is added with suede tactile material, which can provide better friction and ensure precise control during intense driving. The seats of the sports model also use a lot of suede tactile materials, which have stronger friction. The seats are also decorated with bright yellow stitching, edging and decorative panels, plus the yellow seat belts of the same model as the racing car, creating a strong sports atmosphere, as if you are really in a high-performance racing car! I have to say that the UNI-T sports model is definitely in the arms of young people at the moment. Who does not like such a trendy and cool sports coupe SUV? In terms of power, the UNI-T is equipped with Changan’s latest Blue Whale NE series 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 N·m. The engine that matches this engine is the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission of the Chang’an Blue Whale series. The transmission efficiency is as high as 94.3%, and the shift speed is faster than traditional AT gearboxes. Since its release, Changan UNI-T has gained wide attention and recognition with its advanced appearance design, rich configuration, and reasonable pricing. In the past 9 months since its official launch, the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 100,000 units. Positioning a young, individual, and trendy crossover SUV is a very good result. The reason is that the current auto consumer group has become younger, and the post-90s and post-00s are becoming the main people in auto consumption. For these young people in their 20s, UNI-T’s fashionable and cool product concept will make them have a strong sense of identity and completely get this unique value. More importantly, the UNI-T sports model also allows fans to see the modification genes of this car. On the basis of its already excellent sports design, it can also carry out more personalized, sportier and bolder modifications. . There is no doubt that the UNI-T sports model will further enhance the position of UNI-T in the hearts of young users, and I believe it will also make Changan Automobile a synonym for young and trendy Chinese brands.

Tesla brakes “failure”, Zhengzhou women bring beautiful models to defend their rights, 4S after-sales personnel become “repeat machines” in seconds

2021-06-23T14:47:48Z

“The Mercedes-Benz woman sitting on the hood and defending her rights”, I believe many people will not forget this picture. An engine leaked in a Mercedes-Benz that a woman had just bought. In the case of no response to the appeal, this scene appeared. After arousing public outrage, and under pressure from relevant departments, the sales team only cooperated with the woman to solve the problem. It seems that these years, without any new tricks, no strange tricks, I am really “ashamed” to defend rights. In April 2021, at the gate of a certain auto show in Zhengzhou, a special “show car” appeared, a severely damaged accident car. But this special “show car” is the same as other show cars, with two beautiful models standing on both sides of the car, facing the exhibitors, also smiling and posing professionally in sexy poses. In 2019, Ms. Zhang from Zhengzhou spent 360,000 to buy an electric car of a certain brand. In February 2021, Ms. Zhang drove out. Suddenly the car’s brake failed on the road, and after colliding with the two cars in front of him, they hit the concrete barrier in the middle of the road. According to Ms. Zhang, the speed of the car at that time was not high, only about 70 yards, and the airbag on the car was also opened. Fortunately, it was all right. Ms. Zhang once went to a 4S shop, and the other party only provided her with limited driving data after testing. The data showed that the speed was over 110 yards at that time. However, the data also showed that Ms. Zhang had two braking behaviors at that time, and the vehicle speed decreased accordingly, but the effect of the decrease was not obvious. The 4S shop promised Ms. Zhang to help her repair the car free of charge, and after the repair was completed, she could help Ms. Zhang resell the car. Ms. Zhang believes that this is a quality problem of the car, and that “brake failure” is a major quality problem related to drivers and road safety, and rejected the 4S shop plan. Ms. Zhang once drove the car to the door of the 4S shop just like the “Benz Lady”. She sat on the roof of the car to defend her rights. The matter also attracted a lot of attention from local people, but 4S was still unwilling to satisfy Ms. . In fact, Ms. Zhang believes that her current demands are not excessive, that is, asking the 4S shop to provide complete data half an hour before the vehicle accident. However, she has defended her rights for nearly 2 months, and the other party still did not give a reasonable answer. Ms. Zhang has no choice but to make this “bad strategy.” The “accident car at the auto show” also attracted the attention of the local media. The reporter accompanied Ms. Zhang to the 4S shop for more details. “If you are interested, leave your contact information, and I will let the relevant colleagues of the company contact you.” At the 4S shop, no matter what questions the reporter asked, the after-sales manager of the 4S shop kept repeating the above sentence. Even when the reporter satirized whether he was a repeater, he still answered this sentence. Leaving aside the “great secret” hidden in the half-hour data of the accident car, at least it would be too unprofessional for a after-sales manager to make such a “fooling” answer in front of the public. Road safety is no small matter. How can consumers dare to drive their cars on the road again with such after-sales processing methods? Relevant legal experts said that consumers have the right to require manufacturers or service providers to provide corresponding basic information and complete data if quality problems occur during the use of car products. If consumers and businesses do not trust each other, they can entrust a third party with judicial appraisal qualifications to extract this complete information, and submit it to a professional institution recognized by both parties to make judicial appraisal.

In combination with the previously exposed declaration drawings, the domestically-made new Mercedes-Benz C-class long-wheelbase version basically follows the design style of the overseas version, closely following the design concepts of the E-class and the new S-class. The front air intake grille presents a trapezoidal design with full internal coordination. The Tianxing middle grid, coupled with the slender headlight shape and the sporty front surround, visually takes into account the elegant and sporty look of the whole vehicle. In addition, it is worth noting that domestic models will continue to provide standard versions. On the side of the body, an obvious shoulder line runs from the front to the rear, giving the new car a design effect like a double-layer waistline. The new car at the rear uses the familiar “eye-catching” taillights as the visual focus.

From the picture, we can clearly see that the body shape of the Audi A7L is close to the conventional three. The van is no longer the fastback shape of the Audi A7, but the rapid descent of the C-pillar still makes it more dynamic than the Audi A6L. The left side of the new car has the words A7L on the left and the words SAIC Audi, 55 TFSI and quattro on the right. In addition to telling us the domestic identity of this car, the Audi A7L will also be equipped with a 3.0TFSI V6 turbocharged engine.

Super police car leads the Vietnamese team to the stadium

2021-06-16T12:25:08Z

The Nissan GT-R and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S are notable sports cars, but they are not the most prominent models of the Dubai police.

The Vietnamese team was led by the Dubai police force from the hotel to the Zabeel stadium to participate in the match against the UAE team. The Nissan GT-R is a used supercar model. The Nissan GT-R in the Dubai police payroll belongs to the R35 generation, the “heart” of the car is a 3.8L twin-turbo V6 engine.

Giroud – Mbappe, how does the ‘side-by-side’ of the French team play the car?

2021-06-16T11:35:07Z

Olivier Giroud owns many expensive models, while Kylian Mbappe is not very interested in supercars.

Despite the frictions between Mbappe and Giroud in recent times, it is likely that the duo will become a “side-by-side” of the French team in the match against Germany taking place at 2 a.m. on June 16, when Karim Benzema Still left open the possibility of playing due to injury. It can be said that Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe are the two “extremes” in the way of playing football and playing cars. In the competition, Olivier Giroud is not a person who possesses speed or technique, he operates in the opponent’s penalty area, with the strength of choosing positions, making walls and taking chances. While Mbappe is a young player who has all the technical factors and speed. The playing style of the two French stars is also the opposite of the way they buy cars. Olivier Giroud is one of the two most famous players with a passion for supercars at Chelsea Club, next to Hakim Ziyech. He owns many fast cars, in contrast to the slow-moving style on the pitch, typically the matte black Ferrari 458 Spider that he often drives to the training ground. This supercar costs about $ 230,000, equipped with a 4.5L V8 engine, maximum capacity of 562 horsepower, the ability to accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 3 seconds and a maximum speed of 320 km / h. In addition, Giroud also has two other names in the lineup: the 2017 Bentley Continental GT V8 S, worth $180,000. The power of this model comes from a 4.0L, turbocharged V8 engine, with a capacity of 528 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque. In January 2019, Olivier Giroud was detained by the police for driving a Bentley Continental GT V8 S speeding. The last car that Giroud uses less often is the Mercedes-Benz GLS 350 d luxury SUV, priced at $65,000. It can be seen that Olivier Giroud is a “follower” of sports cars. Meanwhile, Kylin Mbappe is not very excited about expensive supercars.

As rare supercars worth up to millions of dollars, Bugatti Veyron or Ferrari Enzo are abandoned to the point of being filled with dust in the UAE.

The countries of the Middle East are considered the “supercar capitals” of the world. In particular, the UAE (United Arab Emirates) is home to the most supercars with two cities, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Due to the high occurrence rate, supercars in this country are no longer so special. They are even forgotten in the garage or thrown on the side of the road after an accident, even if they are a rare supercar. Photo: Caters News Agency. A blue Lamborghini Gallardo lies covered in dust in a roadside parking lot in Dubai. According to Gulf News, every year about 2,000-3,000 cars are abandoned in the UAE for the simple reason that their owners forget their existence. Photo: Caters News Agency. Gallardo’s “elder” model – Aventador – was also left with the same fate that it was covered in dust at Dubai airport. The 2-digit control plate shows that the car owner is a rich person. In Dubai, the fewer digits a sign has, the more valuable it is and usually has to go through an auction. Photo: cartoq. In Vietnam, Bentley Arnage is a rare luxury car model, the number of which can be counted on the fingers. In Dubai, this model is not so special. After colliding with a Porsche Panamera, the blue Arnage was left by its owner on the highway in Dubai. According to local media, the two models were left on the side of the road for a few days before being moved. Photo: cartoq. Not as prominent as Ferrari or Lamborghini, the red DMC DeLorean neglected in Dubai still deserves to be on this list. During the production phase (1981-1983), DMC DeLorean was not given much attention. It was not until it appeared in the movie Back To The Future (1985) that this model became famous. Currently, the number of DeLorean that can operate in the world is not much, but it is abandoned in Dubai. Photo: Auto Evolution. Produced from 1992 to 1994, Jaguar XJ220 has a rather limited number – about 282 vehicles. One of them was caught in a public parking lot in Dubai. With a top speed of up to 341 km/h, the XJ220 was once the world’s fastest supercar in the 1992-1993 period. Photo: cartoq. The most famous abandoned car model in the UAE is probably the Ferrari Enzo. For supercar fans around the world, the Ferrari Enzo is a legend. There were about 400 Enzo units produced between 2002-2004 with an ex-works price of about 650,000 USD (equivalent to 900,000 USD at present). The Ferrari logo is the cheapest at $2.5 million on the used car market. Photo: Auto Evolution. If the Enzo is a rare and expensive supercar, owning a Bugatti is even more difficult. You must be “approved” by the French supercar company before signing a sales contract. The Veyron in the photo is covered in dust but is in fairly new condition. It seems that this supercar has never rolled before being abandoned. Photo: Pinterest. Over the past 20 years, the UAE has attracted many foreign investors to this country. Earning a lot of money and not having to pay personal income tax makes entrepreneurs splurge to buy supercars. After the 2008 economic crisis, many businesses went bankrupt and entrepreneurs fled the UAE before going to jail. Therefore, they do not have time to liquidate assets, including supercars.
