After the pre-sale price of ET in Xingtu Xingyue Era is confirmed, the prospect is ideal by evaluating the polarity reversal.

At the moment when the pre-sale began, the pre-sale price was not announced, and the operation of Qi Rising Road Star Era ET was somewhat confusing; But fortunately, the price information was confirmed later, so after having the most important evaluation reference, the evaluation of this car will inevitably reverse.

Price information:

  • Extended version, RMB 19.9, RMB 21.9 and RMB 239,000.
  • Pure electronic version, RMB 23.9, RMB 24.9, RMB 25.9, RMB 28.9 and RMB 329,000.

For a new energy medium and large SUV, this price is really not high; Its body size is 4955*1975*1698 mm, and the wheelbase is 3000 mm. It is a standard C-class car, and the visual effect of the car is good, especially if the wheelbase is large enough, it will make the side of the car look more tense. As for the height of the car body, it is not very high, so the style of this car is biased towards sports; The controversy about vehicle design is not discussed here. Some car enthusiasts think that the vehicle design is similar to a G9, but after comparison, it is found that it is only similar rather than similar.

Interpretation of extended range edition

The dynamic parameters of the extended-range version of Star Age ET have finally been confirmed, which are basically the same as predicted, but one thing is unexpected, that is, the extended-range four-wheel drive version has not been seen at present; This version is equipped with a 1.5T range extender, and the engine adopts a vertical layout; The motor is a rear-mounted model, so the extended-range version is determined to be rear-driven. Its power reserve is 195 kW/324 N m, and its 100-kilometer acceleration score is 7.8 seconds, which is quite satisfactory.

Its lowest charged fuel consumption is 5.2L/100km, and its fuel consumption performance in the same class car is quite good.

Without four-wheel drive, this car needs a long enough pure electric cruising range.

Its standard is that the test cruising range of WLTC is 161 kilometers, and the corresponding test cruising range of CLTC is 200 kilometers.

This standard is regarded as the first-line level of the same class car, and its overall level can be aligned with the rear-drive version. It is a four-wheel drive with a slightly higher positioning, and the two cars are not comparable. Then asking M7 is the key to stand out from the rest of Star Age ET. The guide price of the rear-drive version of the car is 24.98, 26.98, 28.98 and 309,800 yuan, the limited-time discount of the low-version is 20,000 yuan, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 7.8 seconds, and the pure electric mileage is 200 kilometers under WLTC working conditions. Its pure electric mileage is long, but the price is a little higher after all, so the extended-range version of Star Era ET is still promising.

Perspective pure electric plate

The pure electric version of Star Era ET has two series: rear-drive and four-wheel drive. The pre-sale price of the rear-drive version is 23.9, 25.9 and 289,000 yuan, corresponding to the cruising range of 625 kilometers and the flagship version of 760 kilometers. The pre-sale price of the four-wheel drive version is 249,000 yuan and 329,000 yuan, and the cruising range is 540 kilometers and 655 kilometers respectively. The cruising range of the four-wheel drive version is not long.

The 100-kilometer acceleration score of the rear-wheel drive version is 6.4-6.6 seconds, the four-wheel drive low-profile version is 4.7 seconds, and the flagship version is 3.8 seconds, and the performance is quite good.

Now let’s talk about the key configuration:

Laser radar.

The extended-range version is not equipped with a lidar, nor are the pure electric rear-drive and four-wheel drive low-profile versions. The rear-drive middle-and high-profile versions and the four-wheel drive flagship version are equipped with a lidar as standard; That is to say, the starting price (pre-sale price) of the version equipped with lidar is actually 259,000 yuan, which is not too high.

The competing products of Astrology ET should be, because there are no pure electric versions of the universe M7 and the ideal L6; The guide price of Tucki G9 rear drive version is 253,900-304,900 yuan, and the price of four-wheel drive version is 354,900 yuan, which is higher than that of Xingjiyuan ET pure electric series. Its cruising range is 570-702 kilometers, and the four-wheel drive version is 650 kilometers, which has no advantage in this respect; Therefore, the laser radar of the intelligent driving system has become one of the key configurations to win the battle. Tucki G9 has been equipped with dual laser radars since the rear-drive version of 289,900 yuan, and the starting price of this version is still higher than the corresponding version of Star Era ET.

Conclusion:

The final guide price of Star Road Star Era ET should meet the expectations of most of its users, but it is a pity that the extended-range version does not have four-wheel drive. If we can add an extended-range four-wheel drive version with a price of about 250,000 yuan, I believe its sales volume is likely to be on a par with that of the M7 brand, and even disrupt the layout of the two brands.

Pure electric series can give favorable comments, and this car is not disappointing.

Tianhe Auto editor, welcome to turn to praise.

2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan-sense of technology




Mercedes-Benz no longer plans to realize all-electric motorization in 2030; However, electric vehicles still play an important role in the future of this German automobile manufacturer. In addition to EQE cars, Mercedes-Benz also introduced EQE SUV, EQB SUV, EQS sedan and EQS SUV, which improved its electric vehicle product line.

The shape of the medium-sized EQE sedan is similar to that of the brand’s flagship EQS electric sedan. It may be one of the best aerodynamic models on the road, but its sleek appearance and solid grille may deter some buyers. However, EQE’s luxury car cabin is made of high-quality materials, which makes drivers satisfied from the inside out.

Like other high-end Mercedes-Benz models, EQE has a high-tech cockpit with a large infotainment screen in the center of the large dashboard. There is also a 12.3-inch driver display screen, which can be configured in a variety of styles. The infotainment system is very intuitive to use and can interact through touch screen or voice; Almost all physical controls have been canceled.

Mercedes-Benz offers 2025 EQE cars with various performance levels, from the basic EQE 350+ to the AMG EQE with an extreme horsepower of 600 HP. EQE cars can travel 307 miles per charge-not as far as Lucid Air or Tesla Model S, but slightly better than Genesis Electrified G80, Polestar 2 and BMW i5.

positive factors

Strong and efficient. Deluxe cabin. Advanced technology.

matters need attention

The back seat is hard. There is limited space in the trunk.

conclusion

EQE is the second all-electric car of Mercedes-Benz, and its luxurious high-tech cockpit adopts aerodynamic design. With excellent performance and efficient electric power system, EQE stands out in the mid-size luxury car market.

Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan will enter the 2025 model year with minimal changes.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan has four interior grades: 350+, 350 4Matic, 500 4Matic and AMG EQE. EQE 350+ is a popular choice, but we recommend EQE 500 4Matic. We will explain the reasons below.

The basic price of EQE 350+ is $76,050 (including the destination fee of $1,150), and it is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, automatic dual-zone climate control, MB-Tex interior, panoramic sunroof, 64-color ambient lighting, 12.3-inch driver display, 12.8-inch OLED touch screen display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Burmester 3D surround sound system.

EQE 350 4Matic is priced at $79,050, adding a motor to power the front wheels, which can provide extra power and all-season capability of all-wheel drive.

EQE 500 4Matic is equipped with a more powerful dual-motor transmission system, and the steering angle of the rear wheel is as high as 10 degrees, which improves the maneuverability and maneuverability. EQE 500 also has a leather interior in the cabin. As far as we are concerned, EQE 500 4Matic has elegant cabin and game-changing rear wheel steering, and its performance is excellent.

AMG has more than 600 horsepower and sufficient instantaneous torque, which has raised its performance to another level. Starting at $108,050, it stands out in EQE series with 20-inch alloy wheels and advanced AMG aerodynamic design. The interior is equipped with AMG high-performance steering wheel and sports seat, brushed stainless steel pedals and natural textured wood ornaments.

All 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE cars use 90.6 kWh lithium-ion batteries installed on the vehicle floor. The basic EQE 350+ is equipped with a single motor to drive the rear wheel, with an output of 288 HP and a torque of 391 lb-ft. EQE 350 4Matic added a second motor to drive the front wheels. The horsepower remained the same, but the torque increased to 564 lb-ft, and the performance improved slightly. EQE 500 4Matic is equipped with two motors, with a total output of 402 HP and a torque of 633 lb-ft. Mercedes-Benz estimates that EQE 350+ will accelerate to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, while EQE 500 4Matic will complete the same task in 4.5 seconds.

The high-performance AMG EQE is equipped with a more powerful dual-motor system, which can produce 617 horsepower and 701 pound-feet of torque. If you choose the AMG Dynamic Plus kit, the output power will increase to 677 HP and 738 lb-ft, and Mercedes claims that it will reach 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.

The acceleration of the basic EQE 350+ will not make you fidgety like other electric vehicles, but for drivers who are new to electric vehicles, the instant power output will still make people feel extraordinary. AMG EQE will bring that kind of confusing pleasure in an instant. Even more disturbing, EQE completed all the operations in a strange silence. When driving on the highway, you will only hear the wind in the distance. Road noise is hard to detect. However, you can choose to synthesize noise to subtly indicate your driving speed.

The ride comfort is stronger than that of Mercedes EQS limousine, but this is expected. EQE car aims to increase driver participation and provide slightly better performance, and it easily achieves this goal. AMG EQE is a clear choice for drivers who pursue sports performance, and most buyers will find that the basic EQE 350+ is enough.

The horsepower of EQE car is not inferior to that of competitors. Polestar 2 has a horsepower of 231 to 406 horsepower. The Genesis Electrified G80 has a horsepower of 350 HP, while the configuration level of Lucid Air ranges from 480 to 1,050 HP.

According to the data of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ has the longest cruising range in this series, and can travel 307 miles after each charge. The EPA cruising range of the dual-motor EQE 350 4Matic is 280 miles, while that of EQE 500 4Matic is 298 miles. During the driving of EQE 500, the driving computer showed that the remaining battery power was 75% and the estimated driving distance was 250 miles, which indicated that the total cruising range should be close to the EPA’s estimated value.

It is estimated that it takes 9.5 hours to charge the battery from 10% to 100% at the secondary charging station. EQE car can charge DC quickly at the rate of up to 170 kW, and it only takes 32 minutes to charge the battery from 10% to 80%.

With the Mercedes me Charge plan, charging is more convenient. The system cooperates with multiple charging networks to handle all transactions through one account, which simplifies access and billing. It also allows plug-and-play, so that you only need to plug in the power supply for the vehicle without swiping the card or entering information.

As can be seen from the interior, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan is a scaled-down EQS sedan. Looking forward from the driver’s seat, it is difficult to distinguish the two. In the standard configuration, EQE’s dashboard is mainly a large touch screen in the center, and there is a small display screen similar to a tablet computer on the dashboard. The optional "super screen" wraps two screens in a striking glass plate, from door to door. Another additional screen allows front passengers to control multiple functions. The super screen is a bold choice, which significantly changes the look and feel of the cockpit. It is very modern, but it is also prone to distracting reflections. Although the super screen is impressive, we prefer the simpler layout of the single-center display.

The seat is comfortable and the carriage is spacious. The front seats and cushions are carefully designed to provide you with hours of comfortable travel. Although the rear seat can accommodate adult passengers, the seat itself is quite hard. The front roof pillar is thick and the rear window is narrow, which slightly affects the external view, but most luxury cars do.

In order to store personal belongings, EQE is equipped with a large central armrest box, a cup holder and a door pocket of moderate size, and a wireless charging pad for smart phones. There is also a very large tray under the central console for storing items. The trunk can hold up to 15 cubic feet of goods, which is smaller than the average level of medium-sized luxury cars, but it should be enough for most buyers. Unlike most electric vehicles, EQE has no front compartment.

Competitor Genesis Electrified G80 has a smaller cargo space, with a trunk of only 10.8 cubic feet. The cargo space of BMW i5 is 17.3 cubic feet.

Whether you choose the standard 12.3-inch touch screen or the super screen option of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE car, you can get one of the best infotainment systems on the market. MBUX system is easy to use, thanks to the big screen buttons, logical menu structure and quick response. It also has one of the best voice command systems. All you have to do is say "Hey Mercedes, I’m a little cold" and it will raise the temperature by several degrees.

Many users will want to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and Mercedes has both wireless versions as standard. However, they may want to use EQE’s MBUX navigation system because it has optional augmented reality coverage. It shows the real-time video of the road ahead, and overlays animated arrows to show where you need to turn. It is very useful in strange towns and complex intersections.

Genesis also provides an excellent system in its Electrified G80. It includes a 14.5-inch touch screen and a full set of latest technology functions. The BMW i5 uses a curved display, which includes a configurable 12.3-inch information screen and a 14.9-inch color infotainment touch screen, which is slightly tilted towards the driver and can control most functions.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the American Highway Safety Insurance Association (IIHS) have not yet conducted a crash test on the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan, but if other Mercedes-Benz vehicles show any signs, it is expected to get the highest score.

The basic EQE 350 is equipped with frontal collision mitigation system, blind spot monitor, lane keeping auxiliary system and automatic high beam. Other functions (such as adaptive cruise control, panoramic camera system and more complicated upgrade of existing functions) can be provided as standard configuration for optional or high-end models.

Electric vehicles are still a growing market segment, but the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan faces direct competition from German competitor BMW. BMW i5 offers a similar level of luxury and performance, with a lower starting price, but the driving distance after charging is not as good as EQE. Porsche Taycan and related Audi e-tron GT are more expensive and have better performance, but the cruising range is slightly shorter, with 282 miles and 236 miles respectively. Tesla Model S and Lucid Air have strong power and performance, but the price may be much higher than that of EQE cars.

The EZ-6 internal invoice was accidentally exposed, and the new car pricing may have been settled!

Recently, a suspected Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice has attracted widespread attention on the Internet. The invoice shows that the model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV, priced at 221,800 yuan. This has caused quite a stir in the automotive industry. As Changan Mazda’s first new energy product and the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that provides range-extending power options, the exposure of this pricing undoubtedly sends a signal to the market that "the comer is not good".

Let’s take a look at the verification of the authenticity of the invoice first. In the exposed picture, the invoice date for this car purchase is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Normally, when a new car is launched, the car company has a complete time advancement process. For a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it is not surprising that China and Japan need to make joint decisions and agree on the price 2 months in advance. In addition, although sensitive information such as the invoice code is coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice does not look like a counterfeit, and it is quite reliable. Since the invoice may be genuine, the price of the product shown on the invoice is most likely the true price of the EZ-6.

In fact, since the Changan Mazda EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become one of the most eye-catching sedans in the joint venture new energy field. Its wide attention is not accidental, on the one hand, because the EZ-6 stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field in terms of shape design, and on the other hand, it is the only model in the B-class sedan market that provides extended range power options, making up for the gap in the joint venture new energy field. This positioning has undoubtedly attracted the attention of a large number of consumers and industry insiders.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2895mm, which makes it very spacious. The vehicle adopts a frameless door and a hatchback design. Although the shape is more new and energy-oriented, the through taillights and four round gun downlights still retain the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements. In terms of power, the EZ-6 will be available in two forms: pure electric and extended range, with a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended version is equipped with the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same. In terms of battery life, according to the capacity of the battery pack, the range of the pure electric model is 480km and 600km respectively. The extended range vehicle can achieve a range of more than 1300km on a single charge and a tank of oil.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 also shows a very high level. The vehicle is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating central control screen, full LCD instrument panel, AR-HUD head-up display, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance and other advanced technologies. With high-end configurations such as rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, and zero-gravity seats, its luxury sense is even higher.

So how competitive is this Changan Mazda EZ-6 with a price of 221,800 yuan in the market? First of all, from the perspective of configuration, the EZ-6 has far exceeded the joint venture models of the same level. As a joint venture pure electric intermediate car, compared with the same level of Tesla, the price of about 300,000 yuan and the starting price of Volkswagen ID7 of 227,700 yuan, the price of the EZ-6 pure electric version at 221,800 yuan can be said to be very reasonable, and even some unexpected benefits. This pricing strategy will undoubtedly bring a lot of pressure to other joint venture new energy models in the market.

Based on historical experience, Mazda has always had a relatively flexible pricing strategy, and often can break the market deadlock and lead the trend. Therefore, it is expected that the final price of the EZ-6 will likely fall within the range of 18-240,000 yuan. If the pre-sale stage is accompanied by some exciting preferential policies, the EZ-6 is expected to become a popular model in the market and seize a huge share of the joint venture new energy B-class car market.

It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28, and is planned to be officially launched at the end of October. With the final price announced, there will definitely be more discussions and comparisons about it in the market. But it is foreseeable that whether the Changan Mazda EZ-6 can truly shake the market and cause industry changes will soon be revealed, which deserves further attention from consumers and industry insiders.

How do you feel about the pricing of the Changan Mazda EZ-6? Please share your thoughts and insights in the comment section.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  This month, Ocean Network launched a model that is hard to dislike, which is BYD. This model not only looks trendy and artistic, but also carries a series of high-end BYD self-developed technologies, making it quickly become another popular BYD model in offline stores. During the time when Sina Auto went to the store to shoot, there was an endless stream of interested owners who came to the store to see the car and test drive the Sea Lion 07EV, and even watched three consumers place orders directly. The Sea Lion 07EV showed a very strong desire to buy a car. What are the highlights of this car in terms of static "talent"?

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The Haishi 07 EV is positioned as a "mid-sized urban smart electric SUV", and the official price guide on the market is 189,800 yuan – 239,800 yuan. The car is the first model built by e-platform 3.0 Evo, equipped with 12 pioneering technologies and more than 100 standard equipment for all series. It is refreshing in terms of safety, comfort, intelligence, performance, efficiency, and appearance.

  Full appearance adopts concept car design concept

  The exterior design style of the Sea Lion 07EV is based on the previous Ocean X concept car, and the exterior design of the whole vehicle adopts the design language of Ocean X Face. Not only is the line outline full, but every line can bring a very comfortable sensory enjoyment. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a charm of art.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The size of the entire vehicle of the Sea Lion 07EV is 4,830mm long × 1,925mm wide × 1,620mm high, and the wheelbase is 2,930mm. According to the positioning of the market segment, it is a pure electric medium-sized SUV model. Unlike the photos, the volume of the real car is still very large, and the overall body is very "muscular". This design style also makes many people who come to see the car comment that this appearance is very advanced. So although the positioning of the model is an SUV, the design style is more independent of which specific model, which is very durable.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The bulging design style of the front of the car, as well as the exaggerated flight contour on the top of the front cabin cover, makes the front of the car very visually impactful. Coupled with the highly designed headlights, the overall contour of the front of the car is very beautiful and highly recognizable.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The design style used in the headlights of the Sea Lion 07EV is very superfast. The Haiyue double U floating headlights, combined with LED daytime running lights, combine to form a boomerang style. A pair of bright headlights has always been the best criterion for a car’s aesthetic rise. It is precisely because of the addition of this group of headlights that the artistic sense of the whole vehicle is even stronger.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The design of the front safety profile and air diversion of the Sea Lion 07EV is very complicated. First of all, the outer profile of the air intake grille adopts a trapezoidal structure, and the middle is equipped with a forward millimeter wave radar. The left and right sides are equipped with black decorative strips, forming a double "X" shape with the lower lines.

  The whole is in the form of the letter "X", and the lower surrounding sides are designed with ventilation ducts to guide the airflow on the windward side of the front.

  The body posture on the side of the car is very harmonious, similar to the C and D pillars on the lower back, which allows the vehicle to form a more streamlined body line. The rear windows of the Sea Lion 07EV are designed with privacy glass, and the whole system is equipped with front insulation/sound insulation glass as standard.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The wheel arches/eyebrows of the four wheels are relatively exaggerated, and the black paint stretches the size of the tire for visual effect, which will be exaggerated in the visual sense.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The wheel set parameters of the Sea Lion 07EV are rather exaggerated. Not only are there 19 or 20-inch rims available, but the front and rear tire widths are also different. For example, the front tire of the long-endurance version is too wide to be 235, and the rear tire width is 255. The wheel hub shape uses a silver and black two-color low-wind resistance five-frame shape, which is more moderate, but also very harmonious.

  The four doors of the Sea Lion 07EV are swing doors, and they are all framed doors. The door handle is a hidden telescopic door handle, which can be set in the car. After unlocking, only the main driver’s side is opened, or the four doors are fully open.

  The rear department of the Sea Lion 07EV is more biased towards the styling design of the dynasty net. The taillights use designs such as the Haitian line-through momentum taillights, and for the first time use the evolved LED post-luminous LOGO technology, showing two states of metallic texture and translucent light. This design is not abrupt, and the absolute recognition can be full.

  The ducktail at the rear of the car and the spoiler above the trunk door are actually more about the unity and harmony of the design style. For an SUV, form outweighs significance.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  The taillight set uses a bright starlight design style. The warning effect of the dot matrix taillight is obvious, and it is also very beautiful when lit.

  The rear trunk door is also electrically opened/closed, and the limit can still be customized to meet the needs of owners of different heights.

  The trunk volume of the Sea Lion 07EV reaches 500L. After the second row of seats is reclined, the storage volume can be doubled. For the need to move some large pieces, the Sea Lion 07EV can support the completion.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  In addition, the whole car also has up to 20 storage spaces of different sizes, which can fully meet the various travel needs of different scenarios.

  The interior design is quite innovative

  The interior style of the Sea Lion 07EV also belongs to the artistic style. In addition to the central rotating screen like other BYD models, the door panels, handrails, and large-scale chrome-plated trims on both sides of the door can be seen as a set of design styles with a strong sense of integrity, rather than a simple patchwork interior layout.

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  According to the interior copy given by the official, the interior design of the Sea Lion 07EV revolves around "suspension, lightweight, and sense of speed". Its instrument panel is called "floating wings", and the layout of the central control area is "the core of the ocean". In fact, to put it simply, the interior design adopts a more complicated abrasive tool manufacturing process, with rounded corners and twisted door panel handrails, which are really attentive and exquisite.

  Surprisingly, the windows on both sides of the Sea Lion 07EV also feature a retro-style triangular window design style, allowing for a more expansive view with independent rearview mirrors and reducing unsafe factors in blind spots.

  Only in the design of the car, the Sea Lion 07EV is given a more sense of quality and refinement, coupled with the suspended central control screen inherited by BYD and the small gear lever with crystal texture, giving the car a strong boutique atmosphere.

  The steering wheel used a four-frame structure, maintaining the inheritance of BYD’s Chinese label on the steering wheel, and the paddles on both sides adjusted the smart driver. At present, only BYD has done it. When activating and adjusting the smart driver, the control button of the Chinese label is used, which is simple and easy to understand for "Xiaobai".

Static real shot BYD Sea Lion 07EV meets the needs of multi-scene vehicles

  In terms of smart driving, the Sea Lion 07EV adopts the "Eye of the Gods" high-level intelligent auxiliary driving system, that is, DiLink 100–DiPilot 100. The system has the function of high-speed navigation. Its hardware is matched with 8 million pixel binocular camera, and the detection range is 200 meters in front of the car and 120 ° in front of the car. The smart driving system is based on a powerful computing platform and an open content ecosystem. It fully integrates personal digital end point, car machine, and cloud. Through a variety of interaction forms, it can realize mainstream L2 + level high-level intelligent auxiliary driving capabilities such as automatic parking and dial lane change.

  In terms of configuration, the BYD Sea Lion 07EV is equipped with electric sunshades, panoramic canopy, 50W wireless fast charging on the main driver side, rain-sensing boneless wipers, front seat ventilation and heating, and front-mounted ETC. The high-end model also features Nappa leather seats and fragrance systems, as well as an AR-HUD head-up display system with a display area of 50 inches, and a magnetic on-board microphone.

Sales king re-evolution, test drive Wuling Hongguang S1 luxury model

[Autohome Original Test Drive] Wuling Hongguang series models, as the best-selling models on the planet, have always been concerned by a large number of users. SAIC-GM-Wuling Motors launched an upgraded version of Hongguang S in August this year – Hongguang S1, which is a model positioned between Hongguang S and Baojun 730. Compared with Hongguang S, it has a lot of improvement in appearance, interior and driving quality. Overall, it has a good performance. For its appearance and interior, friends who pay attention to this car have already gained a considerable understanding of it (click here to see my colleague Zhou Churan’s real picture of Hongguang S1). I believe that many friends who have not yet tested it must be curious about the performance of this car’s driving quality. So today, let’s take a look at how this car works.

As mentioned earlier, the Hongguang S1 is upgraded from the Hongguang S, which has improved the appearance, interior and power smoothness. Overall, the appearance of the Hongguang S1 is more fashionable, so it can be applied to more occasions, making it not only a commercial model that can only "work and pull goods", but also a step towards a more versatile MPV model.

Compared with the Hongguang S, the front face design of the Hongguang S1 is obviously more dynamic and fashionable. In the front face design, the Hongguang S1 uses the same color as the body to extend into the shield-shaped forward air barrier, while the lower air intake barrier has also been redesigned to look flatter. With dynamic fog lamp components, the Hongguang S1 looks more dynamic than the Hongguang S.

The Hongguang S1 series is equipped with lenticular low beams and folding remote control keys as standard, and the configuration is more high-grade, but the lowest model is still equipped with manually adjusted rearview mirrors. However, for models of the Hongguang S1 class, such a configuration is already quite kind. In terms of tires, the Hongguang S1 luxury model uses Kumho’s 195/60 R15 tires, and the low-end model uses the lower-priced Linglong tires, but the Hongguang S1 series comes standard with 15-inch 16-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

In terms of body size, the Hongguang S1 has some changes on the basis of the Hongguang S. Its body height is lower, while the width is increased by 41mm, which makes the lateral visual effect of the body better. The wheelbase is the same as the Hongguang S, 2720mm, which is 30mm smaller than the Baojun 730 and maintains a certain difference from the Baojun 730.

The lower edge of the rear window of the Hongguang S1 luxury model has added chrome decorative strips. It is precisely because of this design that the rear window of the luxury model cannot be opened sideways, which is different from the standard model and comfort. However, in actual driving, although the rear window cannot be opened, the comfort of the third row passengers is not greatly affected.

The rear details of the Hongguang S1 have been redesigned, especially the taillight assembly, with a horizontal split taillight for better visual effect. The luxury rear also has 4 reversing radar and reversing imaging system, which is quite abundant in this class of models.

● Interior: fine design, good sense of grade

The interior design of the Hongguang S1 highlights the skills of Wuling designers, and there is an improvement on the basis of the Hongguang S. It uses an upper and lower two-color design, and the model we tested uses an upper brown and lower beige interior color scheme. Although the center console and door panels are made of the most basic hard plastic, the overall look is more refined and the sense of grade has also been improved.

The steering wheel of the Hongguang S1 adopts a three-spoke design and uses a small number of chrome-plated decorative parts as embellishments, which looks relatively simple. It is also equipped with electronic steering power, which is more careful in configuration. And it also has a monochrome LCD screen in the center of the dashboard, which looks very high-grade.

The luxury central control entertainment system also supports the mobile phone screen mapping function, allowing Android or Apple phones to project the screen onto the central control screen in the car through the HDMI interface, making it more convenient to operate and enhancing the convenience and comfort of using the car.

Dynamic test drive: the improvement of driving quality is more obvious

The 1.5L P-TEC DVVT engine on the Hongguang S1 has a maximum horsepower of 112 horsepower and a maximum torque of 147 Nm

The engine has also been optimized for ride comfort, and a dual-mass flywheel has been replaced inside the engine. The vibration of the engine during operation is smaller than that of Hongguang S, and the overall driving texture has been improved significantly.

In terms of gearboxes, the Hongguang S1 is still equipped with a 5MT manual gearbox, but the gearbox has been redesigned to improve the shifting texture compared to the 5MT manual gearbox used on the Hongguang S, with clear gears and smoother gear shifts.

This car still uses a front-and-rear-drive design. The gearbox switches smoothly after being readjusted, the clutch pedal travel is very short, and the engine is biased towards low-speed power output adjustment, so the power output is quite smooth at starting and low-speed driving, with good performance.

Due to the use of a dual-mass flywheel in the engine, the engine has better smoothness at medium and low speeds, and has improved in terms of operation refinement compared to the engine used on the Hongguang S model. When driving at medium and low speeds, the engine vibration phenomenon on the previous Hongguang S was significantly reduced.

For the Hongguang S1, the speed of 80km/h can be said to be the speed commonly used in medium and high-speed driving. When cruising at 5th gear and 80km/h, the engine speed is maintained at around 2500rpm, and the engine noise at this time is clear, but still within an acceptable range.

And when it comes to noise, the noise control of the Hongguang S1 has been significantly improved compared to the Hongguang S, which can also be seen from the engineers’ efforts on the NVH aspect of this car. However, we can still clearly hear the obvious noise from the engine, rear axle and tires when driving at medium and high speeds. But for this price and this class of models, even its sibling Hongguang S, its noise control performance is quite good.

In terms of chassis suspension, the Hongguang S1 uses a front McPherson independent suspension/rear coil spring semi-independent suspension, which has some differences from the leaf spring rear suspension used on the Hongguang S. However, in order to be able to accommodate the need to load more goods and take into account the production cost, its suspension is set to be relatively hard, and the fine vibration of the road surface will be clearly transmitted into the car. If you encounter large potholes or ups and downs, the beating of the vehicle is also more obvious. If it is an MPV, then the chassis is not the strength of the Hongguang S1, but for its price and main purpose, it has performed quite well.

Focus | NIO IPO valuation has shrunk sharply, a list of recent car market news

NIO IPO valuation plummets

 

On August 21, during the IPO roadshow, NIO was exposed that its valuation asking price was only $80- 10 billion, the difference between the previous valuation of $37 billion was as high as $29 billion. However, it is worth noting that NIO internally set its price-to-earnings ratio target for the next five years at 10x. According to NIO’s valuation asking price in the IPO roadshow, if NIO wants to achieve the 10x price-to-earnings ratio target in 2023, NIO must complete a net profit of $8- 1 billion that year.

Speeches from all sides

AutoR

 

In any case, the capital drama of NIO will continue, but it may be really difficult for NIO, which is at the forefront of new car manufacturers, to go public. Just as some industry insiders commented on the NIO IPO before, "If NIO can’t go public at this time, it may never go public."

 

Electric Vehicle Times Network

 

Although the valuation has shrunk by 29 billion dollars, it has not affected NIO’s determination to choose to go public. Some people believe that NIO is originally a capital attribute company, "Li Bin’s embarrassment may be that if it is not listed, it will soon reach the end." There is not much time left for NIO, and likewise, there are not many opportunities and time left for other new car makers.

 

Electric state

 

According to NIO’s IPO filing, NIO’s revenue in the first half of this year was only 45.991 million yuan. On the one hand, losses continue to grow, and on the other hand, net profit continues to be sluggish. If NIO wants to achieve the goal of "10 times the price-to-earnings ratio in five years", it will face tremendous pressure.

Brother Wen’s comment

In fact, the author has said in the previous article that NIO may be "devalued". On the one hand, the overseas market environment is very unfavorable to Chinese stocks. On the other hand, NIO’s business model may not be recognized by overseas investors. Finally, NIO has not been fully delivered yet, which must also make these investors hesitate. And these are the direct reasons for NIO’s "devaluation".

 

Although the news has not been officially confirmed yet, there is no wind and no waves, and NIO’s road to listing must be very difficult. And according to NIO’s current situation, not to mention delivery problems, even delivery will face the test of the market, so in my opinion, NIO wants to set a price-to-earnings ratio target of 10 times in the next five years, which is expected to be very difficult

 

Dongfeng Peugeot Wu Shaoge resigns

 

Recently, some media learned from Shenlong Company that Wu Shaoge, the former deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot, has officially resigned, and the specific whereabouts have not been determined.

Wu Shaoge, former deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot

 

Wu Shaoge entered the automotive industry in 2002 and has successively served as the senior manager of Volkswagen Group China Marketing Department, the director of FAW-Volkswagen Brand and Public Relations, the head of the marketing department of FAW-Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd., the vice president of BMW Brilliance, and the head of the marketing department of Dongfeng Peugeot. Wu Shaoge was promoted to the deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot in March last year. He has made achievements in brand, sales, marketing and public relations communication, and product strategy. He has successfully managed more than 30 new models to be launched in China.

 

Brother Wen’s comment

 

Shenlong, as one of the earliest joint venture car companies in China, has also had great success, but it has started to decline since 2016. Last year, sales were cut in half. Among them, Dongfeng Peugeot’s sales fell by 8.22% year-on-year, and the decline was not small. It can be said to be a gloomy cloud. In the past two years, Dongfeng Peugeot’s personnel changes have also been quite frequent. Last year, Li Haigang, the general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot, and Li Nanhong, the director of the brand public relations department, left one after another. Now Wu Shaoge, the deputy general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot, has also left. In addition to poor sales performance, the reasons are not unrelated to its dealer withdrawal and the relocation of the brand marketing department

 

Google’s driverless car may have established a wholly-owned company in Shanghai

 

On August 23, according to the national enterprise credit information publicity system, a company named Huimo Business Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. registered in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone in May, and its business scope includes business information consultation, design and testing of autonomous car parts and products, and providing related supporting services.

The company is 100% owned by WAYMO LLC, a self-driving company owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet. In July this year, Shanghai said it planned to introduce Google’s self-driving and other projects to Shanghai.

 

Brother Wen’s comment

 

Google’s autonomous driving, which has been conducting road tests abroad, finally couldn’t help but extend its battle line to the Chinese market. In the field of autonomous driving, everyone only knows that Tesla has done a better job, but in fact, Google has been exposed to this field earlier than Tesla, and after years of hard work, it has made quite a lot of achievements. As the world’s largest automobile market, China’s development in the field of autonomous driving is also very rapid. Google established a company in Shanghai at this time to seize the market as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity.

 

Xiaokang Group and Alibaba have reached a strategic cooperation

 

On August 23, the joint stock company of Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group (hereinafter referred to as Xiaokang Group) and Alibaba Group officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two sides will carry out comprehensive cooperation to jointly promote the application cooperation and industrialization of digitalization, intelligence and networking in the automotive industry.

 

As a benchmark enterprise for strategic cooperation between the Chongqing Municipal Government and Alibaba, Xiaokang Group will jointly build an intelligent manufacturing demonstration in the automotive industry, promote the high degree of integration of the automotive industry and Internet technology, and drive technological innovation in the automotive industry. In the future, the two sides will cooperate in depth in the field of automotive intelligence and jointly promote the popularization of intelligent connected vehicles.

 

Brother Wen’s comment

 

With the changes of the times, intelligent networked cars are increasingly favored by consumers. Nowadays, not only new car makers but also traditional car companies have begun to pay attention to the development of this field. At the same time, there have been many cases of cross-border cooperation, led by the three giants of BAT. A cross-border cooperation boom has begun, while Alibaba has deep technical accumulation in the field of intelligent networking. After the Roewe RX5, which cooperated with SAIC Motor, achieved very good sales. The in-depth cooperation between Xiaokang Group and Alibaba may hatch the next RX5.

Control module defect, Volvo recalls part of XC90/S90

  [Autohome News] Recently, Volvo Cars Sales (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Daqing Volvo Cars Manufacturing Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation in accordance with the requirements of the "Regulations on the Administration of Recall of Defective Automobile Products" and the "Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations on the Administration of Recall of Defective Automobile Products". It is decided to recall the following vehicles from July 1, 2021:

Volvo (imported) Volvo XC90 2020 T6 Zhiya Sports Edition 7 seats

" (| |) "

"Volvo S90"

Scope of recall:

  From April 15, 2016 to May 18, 2020, a total of 82 imported XC90 vehicles were produced.

  From May 5, 2018 to August 21, 2019, a total of 3 domestic S90 long-wheelbase vehicles were produced. 

Reason for recall:

  For vehicles within the scope of this recall, due to design reasons, the rear seat control module may detect an incorrect continuous touch signal when there is liquid on the display. When the user calls up the seat adjustment interface in the rear seat control module, if there is liquid on the control module display and the user attempts to adjust the front passenger seat, the front passenger seat may move to the limit position. If the liquid persists, the screen may not be able to be re-controlled, resulting in the front passenger seat control may be cancelled.

  In extreme cases, when the front passenger seat is moved to the extreme position, the person in the rear seat may get stuck and cause injury, posing a safety hazard. 

Solution:

  Free upgrade of rear seat control module software to eliminate safety hazards.

Emergency response measures:

  Before the vehicle recalls and upgrades the software, the user should confirm that there is no liquid on the surface of the control module display before adjusting the position of the front passenger seat through the rear seat control module.

  Volvo Car Sales (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Daqing Volvo Car Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will notify relevant users in the form of registered letters. When the recall starts to be implemented, Volvo Car Authorized Dealers will also take the initiative to contact users to arrange recall repairs.
