Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, through unremitting efforts, the anti-corruption struggle in Sichuan Province has won an overwhelming victory and been comprehensively consolidated, and a good political ecology in the province has been continuously formed. At the same time, we should also be soberly aware that although the overall political ecology in Sichuan is improving and continuing to improve, there are still problems of local fragility and weak bottom, and there are still many new situations and challenges to solve unique problems in the new era and new journey. In the face of the new situation and tasks, we must resolutely overcome the feelings of relaxation, fatigue and war-weariness, persist in our thinking and perseverance, and consistently grasp it, especially in further tightening the system and mechanism. Based on the new situation, new tasks and new requirements, combined with the actual situation in Sichuan, we should adhere to the principle of full coverage in content, full coverage in object, full chain in responsibility and full penetration in system, make overall arrangements and coordinate the work of managing the party in Sichuan Province, improve the comprehensive and strict party management system, and continuously improve the institutionalized, standardized and scientific level of party building.

To deeply understand the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments", we must maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core at all times and under all circumstances, take the party’s banner as the banner, take the party’s direction as the direction and take the party’s will as the will at all times and under all circumstances, and persist in absolute loyalty to the party, sincerely love the party, always worry about the party, firmly protect the party and make every effort to revitalize the party. Political supervision is a powerful measure to urge the whole party to adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee. Party committees and discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels in the province should take political supervision as an important task, promote the concretization, accuracy and normalization of political supervision, conscientiously implement the important instructions of General Secretary of the Supreme Leader and the supervision and inspection mechanism for the implementation of major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, focus on the objectives, tasks and strategic measures set by the Party’s 20th National Congress, focus on the spirit of the General Secretary’s important instructions on Sichuan’s work series, focus on the strategic deployment of "four modernizations, urban-rural integration and five districts" of the provincial party committee, strengthen supervision and inspection, and effectively break through the difficult points in implementation.

  Wang Xiaohui pointed out that it is necessary to persist in the discipline and discipline, punish corruption and fight corruption, and constantly win new victories in building a clean and honest party style and fighting corruption in Sichuan Province. We will continue to strengthen the dam that implements the spirit of the Eighth Central Committee, put formalism and bureaucracy in a more prominent position, persist in rectifying the "four winds" and establish a new style simultaneously, keep an eye on the repeated stubborn problems, make real moves on the problem of face-lifting, keep an eye on the deep water under hidden and hidden problems, and promote party member cadres to cultivate integrity and consciously resist bad style. Comprehensively strengthen the Party’s discipline construction, continue to strengthen discipline education, promote the formation of discipline consciousness, vigorously strengthen discipline implementation, educate party member cadres to enhance their awareness of discipline and rules, and make discipline a "high-voltage line with electricity". Resolutely win the protracted war in the fight against corruption, promote the fight against corruption, focus on key targets, persist in investigating bribery and bribery together, resolutely punish corruption intertwined with political and economic issues, deepen the rectification of corruption in the fields of centralized power, intensive capital and rich resources, resolutely clean up industrial, systematic and regional corruption with great risks, resolutely prevent leading cadres from becoming spokespersons and agents of interest groups and powerful groups, and resolutely prevent political and business ties from damaging the political ecology and resources. Continue to promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the party to the grassroots level, continuously improve the supervision ability of grassroots discipline inspection and supervision organs, focus on micro-corruption, accurately treat it, and vigorously rectify grassroots "corruption"Evil "confluence problem, and resolutely prevent" moths "from eating the vital interests of the masses. Further improve and perfect the supervision system, firmly grasp the "bull nose" of the main responsibility, improve the unified leadership, comprehensive coverage, authoritative and efficient supervision system of the party, attach great importance to the supervision of the "key minority", give full play to the role of patrolling the sword, and always keep the sword hanging high and shocking.

  Wang Xiaohui pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the combination of strict management and love, and pay equal attention to encouragement and restraint, so as to better motivate party member cadres to show their new roles and actions in the new era and new journey. It is necessary to clearly establish the orientation of encouraging people to take responsibility, insist on discussing heroes with practical work and employing cadres with actual achievements, pay attention to examining political quality and ability from the mental state and work style, and be good at discovering, cultivating and using cadres who dare to take good deeds in the main battlefield of economic development and the front line of special struggles. It is necessary to actively create a favorable environment for taking responsibility, adhere to the "three distinctions", implement the relevant provisions of encouraging cadres to take responsibility in detail, conscientiously do a good job in peacetime encouragement and special commendation and reward, seriously investigate and deal with false accusations and frame-ups, and implement medical examinations, vacations and other systems, especially for cadres working in hard and difficult areas and ethnic areas, and take the initiative to solve problems and let them settle down.

  Wang Xiaohui pointed out that the discipline inspection and supervision organs were born and fought for the party. As the party’s disciplinary force, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot. Discipline inspection and supervision cadres at all levels in the province should consciously strengthen political construction, be loyal to the party, bravely shoulder heavy burdens, perform their duties, firmly support the "two establishment" and resolutely achieve the "two maintenance" with practical actions. We should enhance our fighting skills and experience, not be afraid of confrontation and dare to show our swords on major issues of right and wrong, and always charge ahead and fight ahead in the protracted war. We must always maintain the spirit of self-revolution, improve the internal control mechanism, enhance the awareness of the rule of law, procedure and evidence, improve the standardization, rule of law and regularization of discipline inspection and supervision, resolutely prevent "black under the lamp", resolutely prevent the use of power and position influence to seek personal gain, resolutely eliminate the black sheep, and build a loyal and clean iron army with iron discipline.

2025 mazda 6 released! Six-cylinder engine+four-wheel drive system, the interior is completely innovated.

Although the performance of Mazda brand in the domestic market is not as good as that of the three major Japanese brands, it has a good performance in overseas markets. Especially in the SUV field, Mazda has introduced CX-70, CX-90 and other models, while in the car market, the 2.5T version has also won the favor of consumers. Recently, the new model "",which has attracted much attention, has also received new news. Although its dynamic performance is still excellent, it is uncertain whether it will enter the China market.

The following is the latest exposure picture of the new "mazda 6". From the design style, the new car has brought the sports elements to the extreme, which complements Mazda’s brand tonality. In appearance, the design of the new car seems to be the product of 3D printing technology, which is in sharp contrast with the existing models and is highly recognizable. In the front face, the new "mazda 6" is quite similar to the previous concept car. The big mouth net almost occupies the whole front face, while the Mazda LOGO still maintains its classic design. Headlights use a single hole LED light source similar to the overseas version of Mazda 3, but the structure has been innovated, showing the characteristics of multi-layer structure. The driving lights are designed in a surrounding way, and the front enclosure also uses the same elements, which enhances the overall sense of harmony.

From the front of the car, we can feel that the familiar Mazda style has returned again. On the side design, the new car abandoned the traditional waistline, the body lines were smooth, and the integration effect was remarkable. The upgrade of the hidden door handle, the combination of narrow wheel eyebrows and large-size wheels all show a strong sporty atmosphere. The rear part draws lessons from the design of the new Mazda 3, and the size is increased. The perforation taillights echo the front, the integrated design of the rear enclosure and the bottom diffuser, and the large aperture design of bilateral exhaust all highlight the sports characteristics of the new car.

Interior, the new "mazda 6" is equally impressive. The interior of the car is dominated by silvery white leather and decorated with black, which forms a strong visual contrast. The three-position steering wheel and internal buttons keep Mazda’s classic design. In the display area, the new mazda 6 is equipped with a brand-new triple LCD instrument panel, and the multimedia screen in the middle is designed with a combined structure, which is full of artistic sense. The design of the ball stop also ensures its excellent operation performance. The seat has a barrel design, which provides good support and comfort.

In terms of power, the new car will be laid out, equipped with a 2.5L engine and a 3.0L six-cylinder SKYACTIV-X engine for the first time. The gearbox will also be upgraded to an 8-speed automatic manual transmission with a four-wheel drive system as standard. In addition, the new car will also join a 48-volt light mixing system to improve fuel economy and power performance. Although it may be introduced into China in the future, the power system may be adjusted according to the demand of China market.

What do you think of these features of the new "mazda 6"? Are you looking forward to its performance in China market?

BYD Touchdown in Advance: Analysis of Sales Achievements in 2024

After October, BYD once again broke through the monthly sales mark of 500,000 vehicles in November, and sold 504,003 new vehicles in a single month. By the end of November, BYD had sold 3,740,930 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 67%. So far, BYD has achieved the sales target of 20% growth in 2024 one month ahead of schedule. In addition, according to the current growth trend, BYD is more likely to become the first new energy automobile manufacturer in the world with annual sales of more than 4 million vehicles.

In the face of increasingly fierce market competition and technological changes, BYD insists on technological innovation and product diversification, and has launched many new models that are deeply loved by consumers, such as Qin L, Yuan UP, Wangwang U7, Tengshi N7 and Equation Leopard 8, and has kept its price competitiveness by continuously optimizing its cost structure. At the same time, BYD has also made remarkable progress in overseas markets. In the first 11 months, it exported more than 360,000 passenger cars, accelerating the pace of internationalization. Being able to stand out in the complex and changeable market environment and achieve a double harvest of sales and profits is closely related to BYD’s series of strategic plans since it entered 2024.

  R&D investment continues to grow.

Behind the steady growth of BYD’s sales, it is inseparable from the long-term huge investment and continuous innovation in technology research and development. From January to September this year, BYD’s R&D investment reached 33.32 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.6%, and the accumulated R&D investment exceeded 160 billion yuan. Up to now, BYD has nearly 110,000 technical R&D personnel, making it the car company with the largest number of R&D personnel in the world.

High R&D investment has also brought continuous breakthroughs in technological innovation for BYD, especially in battery technology and intelligent driver assistance system, and BYD’s progress is obvious to all.

Taking the blade battery as an example, this technological innovation greatly improves the energy density and safety of the battery pack through structural optimization, and also effectively reduces the production cost. The introduction of blade batteries enables BYD to install more batteries in a limited space, thus significantly improving the cruising range of vehicles and solving the problem of users’ anxiety about the battery life of electric vehicles. At the same time, the safety of the blade battery has been greatly enhanced, reducing the risk of thermal runaway. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of blade batteries becomes more obvious with the promotion of large-scale production and technological progress, which helps BYD maintain its price competitiveness and attract more price-sensitive consumers.

More crucially, the design concept and technological innovation of blade battery make it realize the loading of large-capacity battery without occupying the space of passenger compartment. This advantage is very important to improve the overall performance and user experience of the vehicle. Take the Han EV with a maximum battery capacity of 85.4kWh as an example. Although this model has a large battery pack, BYD skillfully places it at the bottom of the car body, ensuring that the battery pack will not occupy the space of the front and rear passengers on the basis of ensuring a certain ground clearance. This has therefore become one of the important reasons for the popularity of Han EV and other models.

At the same time, the intelligent driving assistance function has also become a key to BYD’s research and development. BYD launched the "Eye of the Gods" advanced intelligent driving assistance system, in which the application of NOA pilot-assisted driving technology in cities has made rapid progress. Urban NOA can help drivers achieve more accurate operations in complex urban environments, such as automatic braking and obstacle avoidance, which can ensure driving safety and reduce the burden on drivers. This intelligent experience not only enhances the sense of science and technology of products, but also provides more powerful reasons for young consumers who pursue convenience and high-tech configuration to choose BYD products.

Furthermore, BYD’s "CNOA" has also made new progress. At the end of October, this function has been opened in six new cities, namely Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Xi ‘an and Chengdu. Together with Shenzhen, which has been opened, there are currently 7 cities, and according to the current plan, the national cities can be opened by the end of December. For BYD, intelligent technology is bound to become an important boost to promote the development of the automobile industry.

  Product line careful layout

The rapid rise of BYD in the new energy vehicle market is largely due to the orderly market competition strategy. Through a series of carefully planned product line expansion and optimization, a product matrix covering all models from entry-level to high-end is gradually constructed, so BYD can quickly occupy more shares in the domestic market, and at the same time launch a differentiated competitive offensive against other car companies.

At the beginning of 2024, BYD launched the glory version of Qin PLUS DM-i, which started at 79,800 yuan, directly lowering the threshold of A-class new energy vehicles and giving consumers more choices. Since then, BYD has launched more than ten glory models in a short time, such as destroyer 05, dolphin and Han family, covering different market segments, from compact cars to SUVs, and each model has been optimized and upgraded for specific consumer groups.

With the continuous introduction of glory models, BYD has been able to consolidate its position in the low-end market, especially in the key price range of 50,000-150,000 yuan, which accounts for half of the whole market.

For BYD, occupying the low-end market is the first step, and then it will gradually fill the gap in the middle and high-end market through in-depth optimization of the cost structure of the original models and introduction of higher-end product lines such as Tengshi Z9GT. The easy-to-square technology of Tengshi Z9GT makes the vehicle have the functions of extreme steering and intelligent crab walking, which are incomparable to traditional fuel vehicles, and it also provides BYD with a powerful competitive weapon in the market of more than 200,000.

Obviously, BYD’s product line layout is not just a simple price reduction promotion, but by virtue of the advantages of vertical integration, it effectively reduces production costs and converts the saved costs into more competitive prices. In sharp contrast, Tesla’s market share in China is gradually being eroded. Although it has taken several price reduction measures, the space for brand premium has become smaller and smaller. In contrast, BYD achieved sales growth while ensuring a certain profit rate through the cost-oriented pricing method, which proved the effectiveness of this business model.

It should be pointed out that whether it is product line planning or new product launch, BYD always focuses on how to better meet the needs of consumers, and at the same time actively seeks technological innovation to maintain long-term competitive advantage. This ability of dynamic adjustment is the key for BYD to stand out in the rapidly changing market environment.

  The globalization process is accelerating.

Since the official announcement of the "Passenger Cars Going to Sea" program in 2021, BYD has expanded its business map to 78 countries and regions on 6 continents. Through a series of strategic measures such as localization and integration, BYD is gradually establishing a strong brand awareness and market share around the world.

Specifically, BYD has built a new energy vehicle production base in Segde, Hungary, which is BYD’s first new energy passenger car factory in Europe. Hungary is located in the center of Europe, with a mature automobile industry supporting system and relatively low labor costs, which also brings more help for BYD to enter the European market.

In addition to Hungary, BYD also plans to invest $1 billion in Turkey to build a factory with an annual output of 150,000 vehicles, which is expected to be put into operation in 2026. In Brazil, BYD spent R $3 billion to set up a large-scale production base complex consisting of three factories, covering the production of electric buses and truck chassis, the manufacturing of new energy passenger cars and the processing of lithium iron phosphate batteries. These overseas factories not only help BYD to better serve the local market, but also provide the company with a wider supply chain network and support system.

For a long time, BYD’s overseas expansion has not only focused on simple export sales, but also included the process of deep localization. Taking Thailand as an example, BYD not only launched product lines suitable for local market demand, such as Dolphin, Seal and Atto3, but also actively participated in local industrial chain construction, including establishing the first overseas passenger car factory in cooperation with WHA MUGUR PETRU CIUBANCAN Group, with an estimated annual production capacity of about 150,000 vehicles.

Similarly, in the Israeli market, Atto 3 (Yuan PLUS) has become the best-selling single model, which proves BYD’s deep understanding of consumer preferences in different regions and its adaptability. This localized operation mode also brings BYD a faster response speed to market changes, and at the same time effectively reduces the risks caused by international trade frictions.

  Conclusion:

Byd, with its profound technical accumulation, flexible market strategy and deep understanding of consumers’ preferences in various places, is steadily moving towards a broader development space. In this process, BYD has to face the uncertainty in the process of global economic recovery and the challenges brought by changes in trade policies. However, it is these uncertainties and challenges that will prompt BYD to innovate constantly and seek new development opportunities. We can foresee that it will continue to play an important role in the world in the future and have a lasting impact on the entire automobile industry.

Boiling wine on whether car iCAR 03 can make the brand come from behind.

  [car home Industry] In the field of new energy, it is obvious to all that the "new forces" have suppressed the traditional car companies. Faced with this situation, an important strategy for traditional China brand manufacturers is to change their thinking and create a brand-new brand which is significantly different from the original brand in terms of design style, positioning and concept. This kind of brand, which is different from both new forces and traditional car companies, is called "traditional new forces" by many people. From the earlier Ai ‘an, Polar Fox, Lantu and Euler, to the more recent Polar Krypton, Tengshi, Zhizhi, Feifan, Aouita and Deep Blue, the camp of this new category has become increasingly large.

Home of the car

  After experiencing some initial twists and turns and the pains of some brands, the "traditional new forces" camp has gradually found the right direction and gradually got better. For example, in Ai ‘an, sales in May exceeded 45,000 vehicles. Up-and-coming stars like Krypton and Deep Blue, the monthly sales can also be stabilized at the level of seven or eight thousand and continue to grow. Aouita, Zhiji and Feifan, including Lantu, are gradually getting rid of the dilemma of traditional car companies in the field of new energy.

  You may start snapping your fingers: Great Wall, Chang ‘an, Geely and even BYD, Guangzhou Automobile, SAIC and BAIC all have them, but who is worse? Chery! Indeed, although Chery set foot in the field of pure electricity very early with "Chery New Energy", the market performance of products such as small ants and QQ ice cream is also remarkable, but obviously this is not a "traditional new force". Thus, there is the protagonist discussed in this paper: iCAR.

  Chery released a brand new brand iCAR as early as April this year, and its first production car (|) also rolled off the assembly line in June. So, as such a latecomer, is iCAR going with the flow, or is it going to catch up? Perhaps, we can find some answers from iCAR 03, which has partially released information.

Positioning: a very clever "young card"

  When it comes to new forces, many people will subconsciously pop up a keyword: "high-end". Both Tesla and Wei Xiaoli are following this idea. It is precisely because of the success of these pioneers that more imitators have been inspired-look at the "traditional new forces" listed at the beginning of the article, from Lantu to Krypton, from Zhiji to Aouita, all of which started with 300,000 yuan.

  Regardless of whether this move is right or wrong, the result is undoubtedly that the track is very crowded. This year’s price reduction tide, the products in this price segment also belong to the "hardest hit"-the decline is less than 50,000 yuan, which is considered very "firm". If iCAR also participates in this battle group, obviously there will be no good results.

Home of the car

  ICAR repeatedly stressed at the brand launch that its target group is young people, without consideration and multi-level coverage. The "I" LOGO, which is like a grid and a jigsaw puzzle, and a series of interpretations of the "I" letter at the press conference all seem to emphasize that this is a new brand of power for young people. Of course, a more accurate measure of positioning is the price range of ICAR 03.15 million yuan, which completely avoids the confrontation with the mainstream new forces.

  Note that this "150,000 yuan interval" of iCAR 03 is completely different from the "150,000 yuan interval" of second-line new power products such as zero running. Instead of creating a homogeneous product with a size similar to that on the market, it relies on new product design ideas to create a model that faces a specific group, fills the gap in the market, and has strong product strength.

  Those who win the youth win the world. These "great truths" are simple to say. Many manufacturers may also think so when they set up the project. However, if we really want to do well and succeed, it will test the team’s basic skills-not only the innovation ability, but also the control of market demand. Of course, we can’t judge whether iCAR 03 can be successful at present, but it doesn’t prevent us from seeing how it is done.

Design: Re-innovation under the trend of hard core

  When you see iCAR 03, most people may think of the key word "hard". Obviously, this just resonates with the trend. In the past two years, from the Bronco, tanks and big dogs in fuel vehicles to the "big hits" in new energy vehicles that have not yet been listed, all of them confirm the preference of the current user groups for this style.

Chery new energy iCAR 03 2023 basic model

  However, from the official announcement, iCAR does not seem to regard iCAR 03 as a hard-core SUV. The official definition is ARV. This AR can be understood as ALL ROAD or ALL ROLES. From some known information, iCAR 03 has indeed been strengthened in some aspects. For example, although it adopts a full-load all-aluminum body structure, it also adopts an integrated die-casting longitudinal beam. That is to say, while being extremely lightweight, the demand for body stiffness is fully considered. However, this does not mean that iCAR 03 is a hard-core SUV. It is more like a design product under this style trend, but it is by no means a big toy to satisfy cross-country enthusiasts.

  From our point of view, iCAR 03 adopts this design idea, which is more to reflect another level of understanding of pure electric vehicles and another creativity in vehicle design.

  Why are the products of the new forces popular? There are many reasons, but the bold breakthrough in design is absolutely indispensable. The new forces, represented by Tesla, pay more attention to streamline modeling and sense of movement, which has a lot to do with their demand to flaunt the high performance of fuel vehicles at the same price.

  However, if we change our thinking, from another point of view, this straight-line style design actually fits well with the positioning of pure electricity.

  You can pay attention to a data. ICAR 03 has a body length of 4406mm, but its visual impact on people is much higher than this figure, which is roughly equivalent to that of a compact fuel SUV. The reason for this is that, in addition to its straight line "significantly larger", the wheelbase of 2715mm also contributed.

  Yes, the exaggerated axle length ratio is a major feature of pure electric vehicles. The addition of hard-core style modeling will also be revolutionary for the expansion of the interior space. Although we haven’t actually experienced it, we boldly predict that the driving space of iCAR 03 will exceed many people’s expectations.

  Another reason why we agree that iCAR 03 is not "hard-core" is that it does not take the retro route in modeling, which is a significant difference from many hard-core SUVs at present. On the contrary, iCAR 03 pays more attention to the sense of the future in many detail designs. For example, its logo, the shape of the front and rear lights including the integration of logo elements, and the straight lines with a concept car style can clearly reflect this feature.

  Because of this, we believe that design creativity is likely to become an important plus item of iCAR 03 product strength. This is also in line with the consistent logic of the success of new forces, including traditional new forces products.

Application: keep up with the tide and pinpoint the pain point

  If positioning and creativity "pass", a new product will have a high probability of "passing". And the final key will be reflected in the product strategy. Since iCAR 03 is only offline, we can only analyze and "look forward" based on the existing information.

Home of the car

  Judging from the official announcement, iCAR 03 repeatedly emphasizes "scene intelligence". This can be understood as a feature of its intelligent car machine. There are more and more signs that cars, or more accurately, smart cars, will become the most important intelligent terminal after PCs and mobile phones. Some analysts in the semiconductor industry even hope that semiconductors will be intelligent in vehicles for a long time from the growth cycle. As a new brand with young people as the target group, it is normal for iCAR to focus on this aspect.

  Before the actual experience, what we can do at present can only be "talking from pictures" and "talking on paper". Judging from the published interior drawings, the technological atmosphere of iCAR 03 cockpit can be described as "full enough". Many people’s eyes may be attracted by the color matching of rose gold and the elaborate crystal shift knob for the first time, but we are more concerned about its screen and the content displayed on it. Although the size of the central control panel is unknown at present, it is quite impressive from the visual effect-it is large enough, and the visual effect brought by the narrow side screen is advanced enough. Of course, the more important point is the interface and system.

  Since I haven’t experienced it, is this link "nothing to say"? That’s not true. You can notice the i-VA virtual human on the interior diagram, which will be an important part of the iCAR 03 intelligent car machine and the "scene intelligence" advocated by it. From the official announcement, iCAR 03 will pay more attention to interaction and intelligent service. This is different from the current "volume" culture that pays too much attention to computing power and chip equipment. It can be seen that iCAR 03 wants to better satisfy young drivers and passengers through "scene intelligence", so that they can not only experience the intelligent service of iCAR 03 without influence, but also be willing to interact with iCAR 03 system.

Chery new energy iCAR 03 2023 basic model

  At present, there is no clear information about the three power companies that everyone is concerned about. Officially declared as "intelligent adaptive electric four-wheel drive equivalent to 2.5TGDI power", this description should be enough to make people "relax" about its power. As for the battery life, there won’t be much suspense: based on the current industrial chain, Chery New Energy’s precipitation in the three-electricity technology and the control of the mainstream market demand, the final result should not be disappointing. Instead of "speculating", it is better to leave a suspense until the listing to see how many surprises it can bring.

  However, one thing is certain, and it is also the strength of traditional new forces, that is, service and channel construction. According to Chloe Wang, iCAR has already started channel construction, and it is estimated that 200 brand updates and 100 sales centers can be achieved by October. These 300 stores can cover more than 78% of the cities in the country. Combined with the interaction of virtual digital people and the establishment of MY iCAR user brand, iCAR’s service card can also have more expectations.

Summary:

  Although there are frequent new cars in the new energy market, the competition seems to be getting more and more intense (otherwise there will be no remarkable price reduction tide), but in the price range of about 150 thousand, there are still few products that are creative enough to attract young consumers and cost-effective. ICAR 03 has found a blue ocean for itself while meeting the needs of specific groups through its unique design and accurate card position. Judging from the available information, iCAR 03 has the foundation of catching up, but the final result depends on its product strategy at the time of listing, as well as its service and quality.

Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Chiu Wai finally cooperated, and When the Wind Comes Again tells a pure Hong Kong story.

Every year during the Shanghai International Film Festival, various film companies will bring their own freshest and heaviest projects to the industry. The Hong Kong company Meiya Entertainment, which has been established for 35 years and has won many "film emperors" and "film queens", has four heavy new films this year, such as When the Wind Comes Again, Hypnosis and Judgment, Sharp Crazy Sisters and Daylight, which can be described as very appetizing for the audience. On June 16th, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Aaron Kwok, Nick Cheung, Shen Teng and other stars collectively appeared in the "Meiya Night" held during the Shanghai International Film Festival.

When the Wind Comes Again: Tell the pure Hong Kong story in the great era with the best actors.

The most anticipated project of the evening was undoubtedly the Hong Kong film When the Wind Comes Again, directed by Weng Ziguang and starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Aaron Kwok. Weng Ziguang, who won the Best Screenplay Award at the Hong Kong Academy Awards for Xun Mei, wrote and directed again, and invited Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Chiu Wai to join hands for the first time. With Du Fu, Xu Guanwen, Chun Xia, Tan Yaowen and other stars joining in, When the Wind Comes Back has attracted much attention since its launch, and has been rated as one of the most anticipated Chinese films in 2019 by many fans and media.

Weng Ziguang touched Aaron Kwok on the highest podium of the Hong Kong Film Awards with "Xun Mei". This time, Aaron Kwok hopes to give "everyone a good work and let more audiences appreciate the moving charm in the film". Aaron Kwok revealed that he played the role of one of the "four major detectives" in the 1960s. "It is a great challenge for me to play the role of Mayor." Interestingly, many years ago, Aaron Kwok played the son of mayor in Biography of 500 Million Detective Mayor II, when Andy Lau played mayor.

However, what attracted Aaron Kwok most at the beginning of this film was that it was finally possible to cooperate with Tony Leung Chiu Wai. As the first-line actors in Hong Kong movies, perhaps because they are both busy playing their respective first hero, the two actors have never cooperated so far. Aaron Kwok said, "Tony Leung Chiu Wai is among the top performers I admire. This time, the’ stamp collecting’ that can be cooperated for so many years has finally come together."

Stills of "When the Wind Renews"

Tony Leung Chiu Wai also expressed his appreciation for Guo Tianwang. "Aaron Kwok is an actor I think is very good and I am looking forward to making a work with him."

Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who has been active in directing works in the Mainland in recent years, said that he has been waiting for a Hong Kong film with enough weight. "I have been waiting for a good script to appear, and the theme of this film is also my favorite. It is rare to see a story based on Hong Kong in recent years. Moreover, I like "Xun Mei" very much and think it is very good. "

For the theme of Hong Kong, Weng Ziguang also cherishes this creative opportunity. "It is my dream to tell the story of Hong Kong in the great era."

Faced with such a "fantastic" cast, Weng Ziguang said that even after filming, he still felt a little "unbelievable". When talking about the original intention of inviting the two to cooperate, when discussing with the boss of Meiya what to shoot in the next film, the boss first asked, "Use the best actors."

"Slag ash" is afraid to tell the truth, and Shen Teng challenges new types

The scene also introduced several other masterpieces of Meiya this year. Among them, the crime action film Hypnosis Judgment has been announced on September 12th not long ago. In the film, Nick Cheung plays the role of hypnotist, while Zhang Han plays the role of tough guy again after "Wolf Warriors 2", contracting action scenes such as hand-to-hand combat in the film, and the two of them launch a two-line limited-time rescue with one static move, which is full of watching. At the scene, Nick Cheung revealed that in order to save her daughter’s life, she had to hypnotize at least four jurors in just 90 minutes and manipulate the trial results. To this end, the director specially invited a hypnotist to give him a class to understand hypnosis, but he himself did not dare to try the feeling of being hypnotized, "for fear of saying something he shouldn’t say."

That night, Nick Cheung also introduced a lot of shooting experiences and friendship with Meiya, but everyone focused on "Zhazhahui", who actually spoke so much Mandarin, and his pronunciation changed a lot.

The Sharp Mad Sisters was directed by Jin Yimeng, starring Mary and Beth Behrs, a bankrupt girl. It also cooperated with the gold medal team who had manipulated Hollywood blockbusters such as Wolverine, Deadpool and legally blonde. Producer Platinum said at the scene that this is a high-quality comedy that combines Hollywood and Mahua FunAge.

The finale is the film "Daylight" jointly produced by Chenming Media and Meiya Entertainment. The film story mainly focuses on brotherhood and pays attention to the portrayal of people, starring "Billion Box Office" actor Shen Teng. The film has just been finished, and other creative information has not been made public, and there is no more information about the film at the scene. However, the film materials given by the organizer indicate that the genre of this film is "crime/action", which may mean that Shen Teng will put aside his comedy label and challenge a new genre this time.

Wang Daqing, a young director, said that "Daylight" is "the type and theme I have always wanted to shoot". "The film mainly focuses on the brotherhood, love and affection of an ordinary little person. The role played by Teacher Shen Teng is different from the previous ones, and it will show another charm of Teng Ge."

Although it can’t be spoiled, Shen Teng still said, "This is really my first attempt, and I feel pressured and lucky." At the same time, he did not forget to "play the treasure" and said, "I have my own expectations, and I have high expectations for myself!"

This time, in addition to promoting blockbuster films, Meiya also launched the "New Power Diversified Beauty" incubation plan, presenting the group’s actions in the artist section and new film reserve to the public. The five new films include the well-known producer Zhang Jiazhen and the cutting-edge director Wang Zao, a biographical film "Wild Paradise" based on the real experience of legendary detective zhaowei; Ma Weihao, the director, and Leng Xuyang, the gold medal comedy screenwriter, created the love blockbuster Little Dreamer. Chorus, a youth type work jointly developed by musician and actor Wang Terry; Adapted from a popular short story in the Mainland, Please Break Up Face to Face, which was produced by Ma Weihao and directed by the original author Song Xiaojun, and Old Age, which was directed by young director Huang Gang.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  I believe that friends who know the brand should know that today’s Cadillac models are classified according to letters and numbers, while XT4 model is its entry-level SUV, and this car has received a lot of evaluation since its listing. Recently, the brand-new XT4 has also made its debut, and this car has also made some improvements in appearance, interior, configuration and power. So how has it changed? Today, we will test drive Cadillac’s brand-new XT4 distinguished model.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  Before starting the test drive, as usual, I would like to see what changes have been made in the appearance of this car. At first glance, the brand-new XT4 is still a very familiar figure, with a sedate front and diamond-cut edges, which makes people see at a glance that it is a Cadillac model with a very American style.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  But after careful reading, I found that it has changed in some details, and the brand-new LED light group is the most obvious change. The new car still uses in-line LED lightning headlights, and the iconic LED daytime running light strip has also been preserved. The change place is the headlight group, the upper layer is the turn signal, and the daytime running lights are connected with the China Net, while the lower part is the headlight group.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  The top model is also equipped with an active closed air intake grille function. When the vehicle is started, the grille will automatically close, so that the engine can quickly reach the ideal working temperature. In addition, when the vehicle is in the high-speed cruising stage, the vehicle will also intelligently judge whether additional cooling is needed, and if not, the grille will still be automatically closed, thus reducing the drag coefficient.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  The side lines of the new XT4 have not changed much, and the design style of the current model is still adopted. The straight and powerful lines extend from the headlight group to the rear of the car, giving people a strong sense of strength. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the car are 4602x1881x1638mm (the height of fashion and luxury cars is 1630mm) and the wheelbase is 2779 mm.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  The new car will provide four brand-new wheel hub designs of 18-inch and 20-inch. The model we test-drive today is equipped with a 20-inch multi-spoke wheel hub shape, which is matched with the 245/45 R20 tires of Ma brand, which can effectively improve the comfort during driving and ensure the passability of the vehicle.

  The design of the rear part has not changed much, and the all-LED in-line flying wing taillight has also been retained. This taillight is not only a family-style design symbol, but also plays the role of rear spoiler, thus avoiding the occurrence of rear turbulence. In addition, for safety reasons, the new XT4 in red will be equipped with a taillight set with a transparent lampshade, which is still a very intimate design.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  There are some minor changes in the design of the rear bumper. Although it still retains the design of sports exhaust with two sides, the rear bumper has cancelled the previous spoiler shape and replaced it with a bright black plane shape, and the rear reflector has also changed from horizontal layout to vertical layout on both sides, which invisibly adds a trace of sports attributes to the car.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  When we enter the car interior, we can see that the change of Cadillac’s new XT4 is still very obvious, and it is more in line with the current design style. The new car adopts the design concept of a brand-new yacht-style luxury intelligent cabin, and is equipped with an industry-leading 33-inch curved screen with a resolution of 9K.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  This screen is divided into three display areas, and the leftmost position is the dashboard display mode and the display area of vehicle driving information. Here, you can choose common instrument display, map instrument display and simple display style, and put the subtotal mileage information of the vehicle here, thus releasing the space of the dashboard.

  The display style of the dashboard is still practical, and there are no cool pictures or multiple display modes. On the contrary, more important information about vehicle speed, speed and fuel quantity is placed in the middle position. On both sides, time and entertainment information are displayed, which also looks very regular. In addition, the map mode is also very easy to use, and the full-screen map display is very clear, which is also very helpful for high-speed driving.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  The resolution of 9K is adopted in the central control screen, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 car gauge chip is used, which makes the operation exceptionally smooth. The interface of the whole car system is also brief enough, and the common functions are put in the first-level interface, and the "delamination" is still in place.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  The voice interaction of the new XT4 has also been fully upgraded. In addition to directly controlling the car through voice wake-up, the system can automatically cut songs without waking up words when listening to music. Moreover, the system also supports OTA remote upgrade, thus continuously improving the practicability and convenience of the car machine system.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  At the bottom of the screen is a row of physical buttons, which are mainly used to control the air conditioning system. Each button will correspond to the function displayed on the screen above, which is also easy to understand. Personally, I like this design very much. In addition to its beautiful shape, it is far more practical than screen operation, and it can easily achieve blind operation after using it.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  The steering wheel design of the new XT4 still feels a little too stable, but fortunately, the feel of the whole steering wheel is still very good, and the multi-function buttons also use physical buttons, and the damping feeling is in place. In addition, the steering wheel is also equipped with shift paddles, which can effectively enhance the fun of driving the vehicle.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  There is no change in the electronic gear lever of this car, and it is still a more traditional design style, and it is still a pity that knob or crystal gear lever is not used. After all, Cadillac models use the diamond cutting design concept in many places, and it would be better if these elements can also be added to the gear lever.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  Behind the handlebar are some basic control buttons and knobs of the vehicle. In fact, I personally think that these buttons can be appropriately cancelled. After all, the 33-inch 9K screen can integrate these functions. Would it be better to change it to storage space here?

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  However, we have to say that the seat changes of the new XT4 are eye-catching. The models we tested today are not only equipped with electric adjustment for the main and auxiliary seats, but also with the functions of seat heating, ventilation and massage, which are rare in joint venture models of the same level. Moreover, the comfort of the seat is also very high, the waist flank and leg side support are in place, and there is also electric adjustment of the waist.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  The performance of the rear seats is also remarkable, and the angle design of the whole seat is reasonable, even if you ride for a long time, there is not much fatigue. The hardness of the seat cushion is moderate, but the seat cushion is reduced in the middle aisle, and the chassis is raised because of the four-wheel drive.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  After talking about the appearance and interior, let’s drive this car on the road and see its driving performance. Today, we test-drive a 2.0T+9AT+48V light-mixed vehicle. Its maximum power is 174kW, the maximum torque is 350N·m, and the official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.7s.

A new model of American luxury test drive Cadillac brand-new XT4 distinguished model

  Because it is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the vehicle still has sufficient power performance at the initial stage of acceleration, and the 9AT transmission upshifts quickly and the response time is fast enough. Even when we use travel mode (synonymous with economy or comfort mode), the vehicle’s power performance is not bad.

  The 9AT transmission is quite satisfactory in upshifting, but when the vehicle is slowing down slowly, there will be some small frustration during the automatic downshift of the transmission.
