3 hours, 88 hours and 1003 days of Xiaomi automobile

Headline reported today.

3,400 people, spent 10 billion, and "fought for Xiaomi car" for more than 1,000 days.

At 2 pm on December 28th, 2023, Xiaomi’s first car was finally unveiled by Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi.

88 hours of publicity

This "grand meeting" of science and technology circles and bicycle circles officially kicked off four days ago.

On December 24th, Christmas Eve, Lei Jun sent Weibo: @ Xiaomi Auto at 10pm.

At 9: 00 a.m. on 25th, Weibo, the official of Xiaomi Automobile, released the first blog post, officially announcing the time and theme of the conference.

On the 25th, it was also the 1,000th day that Xiaomi announced the official construction of the car.

Before this, all kinds of news, spy photos, leaked photos and ID photos have stripped Xiaomi of his car. Lei Jun also said that "it is a great pity that there are always all kinds of leaks or rumors in the middle, which is really not our intention", and the team has been very low-key and pragmatic.

However, the enthusiasm and curiosity of rice noodles for Xiaomi cars have not decreased, but have been ignited by pictures and words that have been exposed again and again.

After the official announcement of the press conference, Weibo of Lei Jun began intensive publicity around Xiaomi Automobile.

On 25th, Lei Jun emphasized that "this time, only technology will be released, not products" and "Xiaomi Automobile will completely redefine the technology stack of the automobile industry, which will be a major leap in the technical field of the automobile industry".

This technology conference will be a comprehensive display of Xiaomi’s technology accumulation since its founding 13 years ago. Lei Jun predicted that "it will take a long time, so I hope everyone can prepare in advance".

On 26th, Lei Jun recalled the press conference that announced "Fighting for Xiaomi Automobile" three years ago. Lei Jun said that building an advanced mobile smart space is the mission of Xiaomi to build a car.

Lei Jun also answered several questions that netizens are most concerned about, such as the duration of the press conference and the origin of the name of Xiaomi SU7, and revealed the price information of Xiaomi car that everyone is most concerned about: "We haven’t made a final decision on pricing. However, Xiaomi SU7 is indeed a bit expensive. However, Lei Jun also stressed that "there are expensive reasons".

Intelligent driving has always been regarded as one of Xiaomi’s killer weapons. In August last year, Xiaomi’s autonomous driving technology made its debut. At that time, in the promotional video, Xiaomi was able to summon vehicles with one button, automatically navigate, automatically cope with some complicated car conditions, and independently parking service.

At that press conference, Lei Jun announced that the goal of Xiaomi’s autonomous driving is to enter the first camp of the industry in 2024, and the first phase investment of Xiaomi Automobile has reached 3.3 billion yuan.

On the 27th, Lei Jun not only promoted Xiaomi 澎湃 os and the whole ecology of people, cars and homes, but also launched the "tribute" series. Not only made posters, but also paid tribute to BYD, Weilai, Tucki, Ideality, Huawei and other car companies. In the evening, tribute lights were lit up in several cities.

There are several episodes here, in which BYD, Wei Lai, Tucki, Ideality and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited in Lei Jun’s words all responded enthusiastically. BYD also played the previous slogan "Together is China Auto".

However, Huawei’s terminal, which was attacked by Lei Jun at, didn’t respond, probably because it wanted to emphasize the difference between itself and Xiaomi again. Huawei doesn’t make cars.

However, some netizens thought that Huawei didn’t respond. Some netizens left a message in BYD Weibo, saying that "this is the leading brother".

Yang Xueliang, senior vice president of Geely, who was not at, was very active, sending several messages in succession, such as "Come on, although not saluted, we still open our chest to welcome new players in", "Too late", "I can’t understand", "2024 is the first year of salutation", "If people always want to be saluted, it will be over, but if people always want to salute others, there is no promise" and so on.

Yang Xueliang is so active, there may be three reasons besides the traffic of Xiaomi.

First of all, it may have broken some defenses without being named by Xiaomi. After all, Geely is also one of the world’s top 500 enterprises, and it is also vigorously transforming into new energy sources.

Second, it is said that Xiaomi Automobile has dug many lucky people, such as Hu Zhengnan, an executive of Xiaomi Automobile. Hu Zhengnan once held the positions of President of Research Institute, Senior Vice President and Director of Product Technology Management Committee in Geely Automobile. At this conference, some fans also expected President Hu to give a speech on stage.

Third, and most directly, last night was the launch conference of Krypton 007, but Xiaomi stirred it up. Earlier, we issued a document explaining the reasons why the top executives organized a group to visit Xiaomi. And when Yang Xueliang broadcast live on the press conference of Krypton 007 in Wentu last night, he also left a message saying, "We don’t compete with Xiaomi" and "(Xiaomi SU7) surpasses 007, try it".

Xiaomi’s conference was also supported by many auto-related technology companies. Under Xiaomi Auto Weibo, Internet and auto parts manufacturers including Gaode Map, Cool Dog Music, Nexter Auto System and ZF (auto parts supplier) left messages in support.

This morning, at 6: 35, Lei Jun released Weibo’s "I was a little excited today and woke up early". At 12 noon, another set of photos of SU7 Bay Blue was released.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the afternoon conference.

Xiaomi 澎湃 OS officially got on the bus, and "the whole ecology of people and cars" was closed.

Xiaomi Auto officially released Modena’s technical architecture, and Lei Jun said that the design target is 100 "industry-leading" technologies.

Xiaomi automobile

Xiaomi SU7, which was almost stripped before the press conference, officially released the official map.

Xiaomi SU7, positioned as a C-class high-performance eco-technology car, is a car that Lei Jun hopes to be "comparable to Porsche and Tesla".

Xiaomi SU7 has three color schemes, namely "Gulf Blue", "Elegant Grey" and "Olive Green". With a length of 4997mm, a width of 1963mm, a height of 1440mm and a wheelbase of 3000mm, Xiaomi SU7 has the lowest drag coefficient Cd 0.195 for cars in the world.

In addition, Xiaomi is equipped with 16 active safety technologies, including self-developed active safety simulation verification system and self-developed "4D space-time labeling" technology.

The price of Xiaomi SU7 has not been announced yet. However, when Lei Jun introduced the SU7 battery, he said, "Don’t pay 99,000 yuan, don’t pay 149,000 yuan." "There are more than 100,000 battery packs. What are you thinking? 」

1003 days

Lei Jun said that Xiaomi Automobile is already in small-scale mass production, but it will take another few months and a lot of verification before it can be officially released.

On March 30, 2021, Lei Jun officially announced Xiaomi to build a car at the press conference. At that time, Lei Jun’s cold was very serious, his voice was hoarse, and his speech was very difficult, but he still insisted on finishing the whole press conference.

After that, every dynamic of Xiaomi Automobile was put in the spotlight. For example, the official application for the trademark of Xiaomi Automobile, the acquisition of Shendong Technology, the incorporation of Xiaomi Automobile Co., Ltd. and the photo of 17 core members, the production base of Xiaomi in Yizhuang, and various leaked news in the later period.

Today, the Xiaomi Auto Conference was held in Beijing National Convention Center. "From Beijing Xiaomi Science and Technology Park to Beijing National Convention Center, the straight-line distance is just over 20 kilometers, and we walked for 1003 days."

"Through 15-20 years’ efforts, we will become the top five automobile manufacturers in the world and strive for the all-round rise of China’s automobile industry. This is Lei Jun’s long-term goal for Xiaomi Automobile.

But at the moment, Xiaomi Automobile will face many challenges. For example, whether the final pricing can satisfy users, how much sales can be achieved next year, and even the proud autonomous driving has already become a compulsory course for various new energy manufacturers.

And the new energy battlefield has also been fierce. Xiaomi car jumping from one red sea to another, "is it too slow?"

But in any case, Xiaomi Automobile has shown its own strength and determination to "lead in an all-round way" and officially participated in the competition in the new energy market.

When the horn sounded, the war was on the verge.

  Based on the integration of "data +", Liu Zhen, an IEEE academician and chairperson and co-founder of Aolin Technology, emphasized that although the development prospects of the digital economy are broad, pan-industrial enterprises urgently need to shift from informatization to digital intelligence, so that data can play an explicit business value. He believes that enterprise digital transformation should pay more attention to value-driven, so that enterprises can "see" the effect of digital transformation. Among them, enterprise digital twins are the engine of digital intelligence systems, which describe, diagnose, predict, and make decisions on enterprise operations and business activities, and then realize the interactive mapping of physical space and cyberspace.

  Grasp the "key increments" of the digital economy, become better, stronger and bigger industries

  Digitalization is not only an inevitable demand for the development of the real industry, but also invisibly rewrites all walks of life. China’s industry is undergoing tremendous and subtle changes.

  The digitalization of the service industry is an important trend in the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, which will inject new impetus into the high-quality development of our country’s economy. For example, Jiangsu Dayun Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Investment Group, which undertakes the investment functions of Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Investment Group to fulfill the cultural protection, inheritance and utilization of the Jiangsu section of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt and the integrated development of cultural tourism. It is a new era comprehensive cultural tourism development enterprise that promotes cultural construction and tourism development and empowers the establishment of the Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Project.

  The financial industry is an industry that entered the digital age earlier, and many business scenarios are being reshaped digitally. "The digital transformation of commercial banks should be closely related to business processes, providing customers with better and more convenient service experience, helping to explore more business scenarios and find sustainable profit growth points." Yu Xuanjie, chief information officer of Bank of Nanjing, said that around the "1 + 3" action plan of customer expansion and quality improvement carried out by Bank of Nanjing, we have accelerated the online process of public products. At the same time, we have launched digital credit cards for retail customers, and the financial service capabilities of various scenarios have been continuously enhanced.

Many places have introduced online catering regulations, and takeaways need to indicate the time limit for consumption

  China News Service, Beijing, July 14 (Qiu Yu) Beijing, Shanghai and other places have introduced relevant regulations on online catering to strictly prevent the operation of "black workshops". China News Service (WeChat official account: cns2012) reporter investigation found that some third-party platforms did not publicize the merchant’s food business license, and the merchant did not mark the safe consumption time limit on the takeaway packaging according to local regulations.

  The consumer.

  When defending rights, I don’t know the "ten times compensation" rule

  How much should be paid if you eat unclean food when ordering takeout? Many consumers are unaware of this.

  Recently, Ms. Xu ordered takeout through a third-party platform for ordering food online, but ended up eating a worm. After complaining, she was only compensated with a 10 yuan voucher from the platform. Ms. Liu also had a similar experience. She ate cockroaches in takeout, and "the merchant proposed 300 yuan for private use." Both told reporters that they did not know the specific legal provisions.

  According to the Food Safety Law, if you produce food that does not meet food safety standards or operate food that you know does not meet food safety standards, in addition to claiming compensation for losses, consumers can also demand compensation from the producer or operator for ten times the price or three times the loss; if the amount of increased compensation is less than 1,000 yuan, it is 1,000 yuan.

  Zhang Liwen, a lawyer at Beijing Shi Law Firm, said in an interview with reporters that if it costs 70 yuan to order takeout, consumers can ask for an additional compensation of 1,000 yuan instead of 700 yuan, but he also reminded consumers that they should provide sufficient evidence to prove that the food "does not meet food safety standards".

  Merchant –

  The safe consumption time limit is not marked on the takeaway packaging.

  Many places have placed requirements on online catering packaging. Beijing, Sichuan, Fujian and other places require food to be marked with cooking time and safe consumption time limit. But when asked by reporters, several restaurant staff in Beijing said they were "not aware of this regulation" and would not put similar labels on takeaway packaging.

  The "Beijing Municipal Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Food Business (Interim) " clearly requires that food operators engaged in online ordering services should affix labels to food packaging, indicating the time of food processing and consumption, and reminding consumers to eat as soon as possible to avoid long-term storage.

  "This rule is reasonable and should be strictly enforced," Zhang Liwen pointed out. "When you go to a restaurant to eat, it is common sense that the food is newly made. But there is no supervision link when ordering takeout, and merchants should indicate when the food is made and how long it can be eaten."

  The reporter noticed that Beijing, Sichuan, and Fujian have relatively strict requirements for online catering packaging, while Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Liaoning have relaxed, "encouraging or recommending" affixing labels to indicate food processing time and consumption time limit.

  Platform –

  Unannounced merchant food business license

  In order to prevent "black workshops", Shanghai, Beijing, Fujian and other places not only require third-party platforms to review the food business license qualifications of online food operators, but also require third-party platforms to publicize information related to food business licenses on their websites.

  Beijing stipulates that third-party platform providers shall review and register the qualifications of food operators applying to enter the platform, timely update the operator’s identity certificate, food business license and other qualification certification materials, and publicize relevant information on the main page of their business activities.

  Reporters searched and found that the merchant pages of several well-known third-party platforms in Beijing did not publicize relevant qualification information. Although some platforms added a column of "merchant license", some merchants did not upload the license.

  "There are some difficulties in the process of verifying the qualifications of merchants," Meituan said. "The base of merchants is large, the verification time is long, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the qualification documents of some merchants."

  The delivery man…

  There is a situation of "no health certificate" employment

  Shanghai, Beijing and other places require food delivery staff to obtain a health certificate. Meituan and Daojia Food Club both said that delivery staff must undergo a medical examination and obtain a health certificate before they can work. "This is a hard and fast rule."

  According to the Daojia Food Club, the company has a special person to register and manage the information of the employee’s health certificate. When the employee’s health certificate expires for one year, it will urge and supervise the employee to update and register.

  However, the reporter learned that in order to save costs, some merchants choose to deliver by themselves, sometimes hiring people to deliver food specially, and the compensation is calculated according to the singular number of delivery. Due to the high mobility of food delivery staff, they will not check whether they hold a health certificate, and there are also cases of "unlicensed employment".

  How to resolve online ordering disputes?

  On July 12, Mr. Yue attracted widespread attention by posting a Weibo post online in which he claimed that he had received 19 stitches after ordering food through Ele.me at a store in Jinan called Marriott Donkey Meat Fire, where he was slashed at the door with a knife for giving a bad review.

  In an interview with reporters, Mr. Yue said that after the June 26 complaint, for as long as half a month, Ele.me only said that it had upgraded the processing, and did not leave any contact information of the person in charge. "The processing of the merchant was only to close the online payment function for a week, and then continue to operate."

  In response, the official Weibo of Ele.me responded on July 13, saying, "We oppose all violent words and deeds, and will not and cannot support any illegal party."

  Zhang Liwen believes that third-party platforms have the responsibility to deal with disputes. First, the platform should announce and punish the merchant’s behavior online; second, it should notify other third-party platforms and suggest that they carefully consider cooperating with the merchant, or blacklist the merchant and refuse to cooperate.

  He said that if consumers encounter food safety problems and merchants and platforms do not deal with them, considering the high cost of filing a lawsuit to the court, they can choose to go to the industry and commerce, food and drug administration or consumer associations to complain. It is recommended that relevant departments establish a quick handling mechanism to reduce the cost of consumer rights protection and ensure that consumers receive prompt and reasonable compensation.

  The Food Safety Law stipulates that the food and drug supervision and management, quality supervision and other departments of the people’s government at or above the county level shall publish the e-mail address or telephone number of the department to accept consultation, complaints and reports. If a consultation, complaint or report is received, it shall be accepted and promptly replied, verified and dealt with within the statutory time limit; if it is not the responsibility of the department, it shall be handed over to the department with the power to deal with it and notify the consultation, complaint and whistleblower in writing.

  The staff of the "12331" food and drug complaint hotline told reporters that if consumers can provide the specific location and name of the merchant, they can accept complaints and deal with them. (End)

Thanks to the continuous increase in sales of high-end new energy vehicles, Sailis’ performance is stable and resilient. From the data disclosed in the performance forecast, Sailis is expected to achieve operating income of 35.50 billion yuan to 36.50 billion yuan in 2023, and net profit attributable to the parent will improve by 29.5% -45.1% year-on-year.

The continuous increase in sales volume cannot be separated from Cyrus’ deep cultivation of technological innovation, continuous improvement of R & D strength and leading intelligent manufacturing strength. According to the recently released China Automotive Science and Technology’s 2023 automotive patent statistics, the number of invention patents of Cyrus Group achieved a year-on-year growth of 407.76% in 2023, ranking first in the independent vehicle group. In addition, in the number of automobile invention patents granted in China in 2023, Cyrus Group was shortlisted for the TOP20 for the first time with a year-on-year growth rate of 88.00%.

If the anchor does not "step on the line", the live broadcast will have a future.

  Recently, the State Administration of Radio and Television and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism jointly issued the Code of Conduct for Network Anchors, clearly stating that network anchors should not have 31 behaviors in the process of providing network performances and audio-visual program services, such as not spoofing, distorting, uglifying, blaspheming or denying the deeds and spirit of heroic martyrs and model figures; Do not insult, slander or spread the privacy of others, infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others, etc.

  In recent years, with the short video in running all the way, the number of webcast users has increased year by year, and the network anchor industry has become more and more popular. According to some research reports, as of December 2021, the number of webcast users in China exceeded 700 million, accounting for 68.2% of the total netizens. Another research report shows that the scale of China’s live e-commerce market will exceed 1.2 trillion yuan in 2020, and it is estimated that the scale of China’s live e-commerce will exceed 4.9 trillion yuan in 2023. The number of live e-commerce anchors has reached 1.234 million by the end of 2020.

  Due to the low barriers to entry in the webcast industry, the quality of anchors is mixed. Especially under the guidance of "traffic first", the chaos of webcasting emerges one after another. In order to gain profits, some anchors regard vulgar content as a "traffic password" by means of eye-catching and showing off the lower limit, breaking through the legal red line and challenging public order and good customs, which makes the public, platforms and industries suffer greatly — — Some doctors broadcast gynecological surgery live online, a online celebrity female anchor rewarded fans with bottomless content routines, and individual "head anchors" poisoned the audience with "spicy eyes" during the live broadcast of PK … …

  Webcasting is not a place of extra-legality. In order to control the chaos of webcasting, the competent authorities have successively promulgated a series of laws and regulations, such as the Measures for the Administration of Content Management Practitioners in Internet News Information Service Units and the Code of Conduct for Webcasting Marketing Activities. The network supervision environment and content production requirements have become stricter, which has purified the ecology of the webcast industry to a certain extent, but the vulgar live broadcast is still banned repeatedly, which is related to the low cost of anchor violation and the imperfect supervision.

  No rules, Fiona Fang. The introduction of "31 red lines" has released a strong signal — — The supervision of the live broadcast industry is becoming stricter and the supervision network is constantly woven, which forces the development of the webcast industry to be standardized and completely get rid of the wrong values of "only traffic". It is expected that the "31 red lines" will help improve the threshold of webcasting industry and the quality of anchors, so that more positive energy content can conserve the public order, good customs and order of the network society. This is also the proper meaning of purifying the network ecology.

Song MAX DM//Tang EV and other BYD new car prospects in 2019.

  [car home News] Although the past 2018 was not a "good year" for many brands, for BYD, which has been deeply rooted in the field of new energy, this brand still maintained a high growth rate in the case of cold car market last year.

● Song MAX DM

Time to market: within 2019
New car features: the styling design has been upgraded/the comprehensive torque is 740 Nm.

  The plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX has made a lot of noise last year, and this car will be officially launched this year. After the new car adopts plug-in hybrid technology, the highest comprehensive torque reaches an astonishing 740 Nm, and the appearance is slightly different from that of the gasoline version, and the interior part is more scientific and technological.

  In appearance, the design of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX is different from that of the gasoline version. For example, the style of the front grille will change, and the shape of the fog lighting strips on both sides will be slightly different. At the same time, this car is also equipped with multi-spoke wheels. The charging port of the car is located on the right rear fender.

  In the interior part, this plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a rotatable large-size screen used in the official map earlier, which is more scientific and technological. In terms of details, the "Song" logo on the steering wheel of the plug-in hybrid version has become a blue font, and it also uses the same electronic gear as Song DM, which is very high-grade. In the back row, we can see that the car is equipped with rear air conditioning control buttons, 220V power supply, USB interface and so on.

  In terms of power, the new car uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and at the same time, it is equipped with front and rear dual motors. The maximum power of both motors is 110 kW and the maximum torque is 250 Nm. The comprehensive power and torque of the power system are 333kW and 740N·m respectively.

● Song MAX EV

Time to market: within 2019
New car features: different design/pure electric drive

  This year, apart from the plug-in hybrid model, Song MAX is expected to launch. We also learned from the application information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that BYD has declared the pure electric version of Song MAX, a 6/7-seat MPV model with hot sales in the current market. This model inherits the family design of the fuel version, and the exterior design is only different in the middle net and the lower enclosure.

Home of the car

  BYD Song MAX pure electric version has a body size of 4680*1810*1680mm and a wheelbase of 2785, which is completely consistent with the fuel version. The front face still uses the "Dragon Face" family design language. The difference from the fuel version lies in the design of the middle net, which adopts the plate array shape similar to armor, and the chrome-plated horizontal stripes in the fog light area are also slightly different from the fuel version. Tyre size is 225/50 R18, and the rim adopts ten-spoke slender stripe shape.

  In terms of optional configuration, it is known that sunroof, luggage rack, keyless entry, lane keeping, privacy glass, panoramic image, side air curtain, wheel core cover, etc. will be installed on different versions of vehicles as optional accessories. In addition, we also see from the application information that the car is rated to carry 6/7 passengers, so it can be inferred that the car may launch two versions of 6-seat and 7-seat like a fuel car.

Home of the car

  In terms of power, the pure electric version of BYD Song MAX will use a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a peak power of 120kW, and the power battery will use a ternary lithium battery with a maximum speed of 150 km/h. We know that BYD will digitally mark the cruising range of pure electric vehicles at the rear, but from the pictures provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is difficult to determine whether the car is EV500 or EV600.

● Edit comments

  Although Song MAX’s plug-in hybrid model is based on the gasoline version, it has been greatly improved in terms of vehicle performance. If nothing else, the comprehensive torque of 740 Nm alone is enough to join the "sports car" club, and its arrival is a boon for consumers who have certain requirements for vehicle performance. As for the pure electric version, BYD’s pure electric drive technology is also quite mature, so there is no need to worry about technology, and it is expected to have a good performance.

  Combined with the information of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX and pure electric vehicles exposed this time, they will undoubtedly drop a blockbuster in the domestic MPV market after their launch. After all, hybrid or new energy MPVs are rare in the market, and BYD’s move will certainly enhance its competitiveness in the MPV model market.

● Tang EV
Time to market: February 2019
New car features: BYD SUV and new energy SUV product series flagship/Roewe and other brands are direct competitors.

  Tang’s car is in the limelight in the new car market in 2018. In addition to the fuel version and plug-in hybrid version that have already been listed, the pure electric drive Tang EV model was also launched in June 2018, and it was opened at the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2018. Pre-sale,The pre-sale price range is 260,000-360,000 yuan.0-100km/h takes 4.5 seconds.

BYD Tang New Energy 2018 EV High Match

  As a new member of the Tang family, the biggest change in the design of Xintang EV comes from the grille. The brand-new matrix grille is consistent with the concept car of the previous dynasty, and its shape is like the armor of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses. At the same time, the front side of the car is surrounded by larger chrome decoration and its shape is sharper.

BYD Tang New Energy 2018 EV High Match

  Viewed from the side, the side of the new car is consistent with the DM version, and adopts the hidden C-pillar and D-pillar design. It is worth mentioning that the car will be equipped with 265/40 R22 horse brand tires and Brembo’s six-piston calipers. It is difficult to see the difference between the tail shape and the Tang DM version, and the taillight group still uses integrated LED light source.

BYD Tang New Energy 2018 Tang EV

  In terms of interior modeling, the interior of BYD Tang EV is consistent with the DM version of Tang, and the whole is very simple. The rotatable central control screen and full LCD instrument panel still appear on the new car, and the shift lever is replaced by an electronic gear lever. It is understood that the car will provide 2+3+2 and 2+3 seat layouts for consumers to choose from in the future.

BYD Tang New Energy 2018 EV High Match

  In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180 kW (245 HP). According to the application information, the new car will launch three kinds of endurance models: EV500, EV550 and EV600.

● Edit comments

  In the field of new energy, BYD is undoubtedly the leader of China brand car companies. After years of research and development, the plug-in hybrid technology of this enterprise has now entered the third generation product cycle, which is not only updated in technology, but also better in function and reliability. Pure electric vehicles have always been BYD’s main direction, so the arrival of Tang EV is not abrupt. It’s just that the pre-sale price of this new car up to 360,000 yuan after listing may discourage some consumers who pay attention to it. After all, there are plenty of options in this price range. Therefore, it also means that it has to face more pressure from competitors, but with the help of national policies and BYD’s own strength, I believe this car will have this good market prospect.

● Brand-new medium and large cars
Launch time: or in 2019
New car features: BYD’s new product sequence/expected to be adopted.

  Speaking of the models in BYD’s product sequence, medium and large cars have always been the products that everyone is looking forward to. As early as 2015, there was news that BYD was developing a new medium and large car. According to BYD’s naming method, this car is likely to be named "Han".

  At present, the specific shape of this car has not been exposed, but according to the information we obtained, BYD Han’s body length, width and height are 4950/1890/1490mm and the wheelbase is 2940mm, which is likely to be positioned as a medium-sized and large car. In other words, it will be the flagship model of BYD car products after its launch.

Tesla MODEL S 2015 MODEL S P90D

"Tesla model sp90d"

  What is more noteworthy is that this car is equipped with a stronger plug-in hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0T engine and a 150 HP motor, while the four-wheel drive version will also use a 476 HP motor at the rear axle. Under such a powertrain blessing, BYD Han’s 0-100km/h acceleration time is expected to reach 2.9 seconds, reaching the same level as Tesla MODEL S P90D.

  In addition, in terms of configuration, according to the information that has flowed out, this car is expected to be equipped with ACC adaptive cruise, electric suction door, head-up display, lane keeping assistance, electric rear spoiler, trunk that can be opened by induction, etc. Generally speaking, it is rich.

  Although in recent years, China brands like to get together to release products in the SUV market, the car market can’t be ignored. As long as there are good products, there is no need for consumers to recognize them. BYD’s new generation Qin, which was listed soon, is such an example. Looking at BYD’s layout in the car market, the existing models are still concentrated in the field of compact cars. When it comes to medium and large cars, this brand has not been involved for the time being, but this level of models can play a role in enhancing the brand image and has a positive effect on the establishment of consumer confidence. Establishing the flagship product is the only way for a car company that wants to build a better brand, so we also expect this car to meet with you in recent years.

Zhiji LS6 textbook-level "intelligent driving" is innovative.

China Economic News Network (Liu Chenxi)At the moment when the traditional SUV performance test is the same, how can the test drive play new ideas? As the "strongest 6 series in history", for Zhiji LS6, performance testing is only the basic exercise, and intelligent peak experience is the core competitiveness. In order to let the national media and users experience the high-level intelligence of Zhiji LS6 in one stop, Zhiji LS6 has created the sixth space of super intelligent driving, initiated a brand-new gameplay of "AI intelligent driving maze", simulated and built typical road conditions, traffic flow and people flow in big cities, and deeply experienced the future intelligent cabin in the commuter meta-universe, with more performance experience, comprehensive driving and control experience and all-round inspection.Zhiji LS6Strength, with "the most interesting test drive in history" to set the industry benchmark.

Deep intelligence is the winning factor in the second half of the electric track.

In the daily driving scene, once you break into a dead end, you are crazy, and Zhiji LS6 returns with one click. In the mirror narrow road experience area: at a fixed location, turn on the rearview mirror to fill the blind, read the clues on the rear wall, turn left and enter the mirror narrow road, and form countless mirror images after multiple mirror reflections adjacent and opposite. Being in it, even the old driver can’t pour it out quickly. Zhiji LS6 turns on one-button tracking to help you return to the original road section. Find a new path and enter the next level.

In the urban experience area: simulating the crowded parking scene, Zhiji LS6 stops at the designated place by silently searching for the library, and then uses one button to get out of trouble and enter the next link. And after parking on its own side, start the one-button sticking function to solve the parking problem perfectly.

In the high-performance "6" performance driving experience area, 100-kilometer acceleration, 100-kilometer braking, S-shaped pile winding, coaxial bumpy road, cross-axis bumpy road and cross-axis projects are set up to comprehensively verify the functions of LS6′ s acceleration performance, 100-kilometer braking performance, vehicle stability and dynamic correction ability, steering wheel operation and directivity, torque dynamic distribution of four wheels, torsional rigidity passability of the whole vehicle and riding comfort.

Zero acceleration 9.1s//measured cruising range over 500km Depth test BYD Qin PLUS EV

Easy car original: With a budget of about 150,000 yuan, I plan to buy a pure electric vehicle with a pure electric cruising range of 600km. Is there a good choice? If you only look at the book data, BYD is a good choice in this price range.166,800 yuan can have a 600km high cruising range version., the cost performance is quite high.

The appearance of Qin PLUS EV is quite small "Han", andEquipped with a more secure blade battery., the configuration is not low, compared with the previous Qin EV models, it can be said thatReduce the price and increase the allocationYes.

Although the cost performance is very high, what is the driving texture of Qin PLUS EV? Can the real cruising range reach 600km? With these questions, let’s have a test together.

New car highlights first look:

Permanent magnet synchronous motor mounted on top modelThe maximum power is 135kW and the maximum torque is 280 n m.The officially declared 0-50km/h acceleration time is 4 seconds.

The maximum power and torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motors equipped on the other three middle and low models are 100kW, 180N·m, and the 0-50km/h acceleration time is 5.5 seconds.

So what is its actual acceleration performance? First of all, let’s test its acceleration time of 0-100km/h and braking distance of 100-0 km/h.

Before the test, turn off the air conditioner, turn off the ESP body stability system and adjust the driving mode to SPORT mode. Finally measuredThe fastest acceleration time of Qin PLUS EV is 9.1 seconds., the bestThe braking performance is 38.2 meters..

As can be seen from the acceleration curve, during the acceleration process of Qin PLUS EV from 0 to 50 km/h, the response speed of the motor is faster, and the maximum acceleration can be reached soon after stepping on the switch. The final acceleration time of 0 to 50 km/h is 3.6 seconds, which is faster than the official data of 4 seconds.

After the maximum acceleration is maintained at 50km/h, it begins to decline, and the acceleration capacity of 50-100km/h in the second half also gradually decreases. However, during the whole rapid acceleration process, the power output is quite linear, and finally the speed exceeds 100km/h in 9.1 seconds.

Qin PLUS EV’s braking front section is sensitive, and the whole braking process is quite linear and stable, which can give us enough confidence. After many tests, the best braking distance is 38.2 meters, which can basically be controlled within 39 meters, and the performance is quite good.

Next, let’s talk about the driving experience of Qin PLUS EV. As a new energy family car, the overall adjustment of Qin PLUS EV is not surprising.Give priority to comfort.

Although the appearance is similar to BYD’s flagship model Han, the actual test drive is two completely different styles. Qin PLUS EV will not give us a passionate acceleration experience like Han.Smooth and comfortableIs the direction it is striving for.

Although the motor power of Qin PLUS EV with a maximum power of 135kW is not particularly abundant, it is more than enough to meet the needs of daily use.

At the beginning, the dynamic response of Qin PLUS EV will not be particularly positive. Especially in ECO mode, the initial response of the switch will be "lazy", and the acceleration process will be gentle, which will bring about the speed increase in no hurry.A relatively comfortable and stable driving experience is also valued by consumers who pay attention to family cars, and it can also save some energy.

Of course, if you want to "go wild", you can switch to SPORT driving mode. In this mode, the switch of Qin PLUS EV will become more sensitive and the speed will climb much faster. Especially in the high-speed road conditions where overtaking is needed,Qin PLUS EV in SPORT mode will give us more confidence..

In SPORT mode, the acceleration ability is indeed improved, but the comfort and ride comfort are greatly reduced. When accelerating rapidly, it will bring a certain sense of dizziness to drivers and passengers. It is not recommended to use this driving mode for a long time.It is enough to recommend using ECO/NORMAL mode for daily driving, which can bring more comfortable driving experience.

Qin PLUS EV’s kinetic energy recovery system is divided intoStandard feedbackandGreater feedbackTwo levels, the power recovery under the standard feedback is moderate, and the vehicle can slowly brake linearly and smoothly after releasing the switch.

In the larger feedback mode, there will be more energy recovery, but the disadvantage is that there will be some drag and drop, and the comfort will be reduced.

In terms of steering strength, Qin PLUS EV followsSteering style of family car with low speed, light weight and high speed.It is relatively flexible and light to drive. However, the steering virtual position still exists, so you need to be extra careful when the speed is fast and cornering, and try to slow down as much as possible.

Qin PLUS EV’s chassis suspension is also a comfortable adjustment style.Tougher suspension can well filter out the small bumps on the road.. However, in the face of speed bumps or potholes, you can still obviously feel the body jumping up and down, which still needs improvement.

In terms of NVH, Qin PLUS EV has no influence of engine noise, and the quietness of the whole vehicle is quite excellent when driving at low speed. However, when the speed exceeds 80km/h, tire noise and wind noise are more obvious, but the whole is still within the acceptable range.

In order to understand the noise situation of Qin PLUS EV more intuitively, we also tested its noise level in the car of 40-120 km/h.

The test results show that the noise decibel value of Qin PLUS EV in each speed segment is well controlled. The noise in the 40km/h car is 55.4 decibels, and the noise at the high speed of 120km/h is 66.2 decibels.

Here, for example, the noise value of the computer mainframe is generally about 55 decibels, while the voice of two people chatting and talking at a distance of one meter face to face is generally about 60 decibels. It can be seen that the noise decibel value data of Qin PLUS EV is still good.

After the overall test drive experience, power and acceleration are obviously not the strengths of Qin PLUS EV, and the word sports is basically irrelevant to it, giving us more.A smooth and comfortable driving experience.Is the direction it is striving for.

After talking about the driving experience, let’s test the actual cruising range of Qin PLUS EV, and test it in the daily commuting environment to see if its real pure electric cruising range can satisfy us.

Before starting the test, we need to fully charge Qin PLUS EV. The 600km version is equipped with a capacity of71.7kWh blade battery, the official declared fast charge.It only takes 30 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%..

Before charging, Qin PLUS EV has 36% remaining power, and the dashboard shows that it takes 52 minutes to fully charge.It took 68 minutes to fully charge., charging power up to 60kW. If you start charging from 0%, you can fill it in less than two hours, and the charging efficiency is still relatively high.

In this endurance test, we mainly focus on the urban traffic congestion near Pearl River New Town, Xinguang Expressway and Nansha Port Expressway, and the ratio of urban traffic, expressway and expressway is basically 1:1:1.

When the Qin PLUS EV is fully charged, it is already 19 o’clock in the evening, which is at the peak of work in Guangzhou.At full charge, the remaining cruising range of Qin PLUS EV is 600km..

Before starting the test, I reset the dashboard mileage 1 and energy consumption curve chart to zero. The air conditioning temperature is set at 24℃, and the air volume is in second gear.

Choose NORMAL driving mode, choose larger feedback mode with strong energy feedback, and then start the test. However, I was the only one in the car during the test, and I was basically in no-load condition.

Depart from Tianhe Stadium, go to and from Xinguang Expressway, pass through Guangzhou Grand Theatre and Central Lake Park of University Town, and finally reach Nansha. The test is about 100km one-way, and the feedback mode is maintained throughout, mainly in ECO mode, but the driving mode will be switched according to the road conditions. After arriving at the destination, I will go back to work in the morning rush hour the next day.

In the end, I drove the Qin PLUS EV for a total of 205.5km, with an average speed of 38km/h, which consumed 41% of the electricity. The table shows that the remaining cruising range is 354km, which is 246km away.

At this point, the energy consumption curveThe average power consumption in the last 50 kilometers is 12.9 kW h/100 km., andThe actual average power consumption should be 14.3 kW h/100 km..

Under comprehensive working conditions,The ratio of power failure is about 1:1.197., which is equivalent to the cruising range of 1.197km for every 1km I drive Qin PLUS EV.

Under the comprehensive working conditions close to the daily car environment, convert it.The real cruising range of Qin PLUS EV is 501km.Of course, this is already a very good performance.

If you drive in the whole ECO mode and drive until the power is completely consumed,Its real cruising range is over 520km, which is no problem at all.. Calculated by commuting 60km to and from work every day,Just charge it once a week.

In terms of appearance, Qin PLUS EV adopts BYD’s latest.EV Dragon Face family design language, continuing the design style of Han EV.

The overall design of the appearance is also very similar to that of Qin PLUS DM-i, and the design of connecting matte silver chrome trim with LED headlight group is consistent with Qin Plus DM-I..

The front face is unique to EV models.Closed grille designDistinguish it from Qin plus DM-I. The lower enclosing area is outlined by black decorative strips that run horizontally, which enhances the visual width of the front face. The LOGO logo of "Qin" is also adopted.Relief design, more exquisite and beautiful.

Arrow-feather LED headlights are blackened, which is more design-oriented. The whole system comes standard with headlight on/off function in advance, and the middle and high models also haveIntelligent far and near light function.

Coming to the body side of Qin PLUS EV, the modeling design is consistent with Qin PLUS DM-i model. The smart waistline running through the front and back and the slip-back design create a forward dive posture, which is more versatile.

In terms of body size,The length, width and height of Qin PLUS EV are 4765/1837/1515mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2715mm.. Compared with competing models, it does not fall in the wind.

The test drive model is equipped with18-inch silver-black two-color aluminum alloy rim, full of sports. Matching it is Germany, which focuses on energy conservation.Horse brand EcoContact 6 series tires, with specifications of 235/45 R18.

The sleek and full tail design is also not much different from Qin PLUS DM-i, and the multi-line outline makes the tail layered.

After blackening, the penetrating LED taillights still maintain a good visual effect after lighting. The duckling tail design is matched with the latest font suffix of "Build Your Dreams", which has high recognition.

Qin PLUS EV interior design also adopts family-style design elements.Design of embracing cockpitWith the suspended central control large screen, it highlights the scientific and technological atmosphere of the cockpit. With the combination of black and brown colors, irregular silver decorative strips in the central control area and piano paint panel, the interior texture is quite good.

The LCD instrument panel adoptsEmbedded design, can display the vehicle information is more comprehensive, however.Small sizeVisually, it seems stingy.

12.8-inch adaptive rotating suspended central control large screen, equipped withDiLink 3.0 Zhilian system. Support intelligent voice interaction, play third-party applications such as WeChat and Tik Tok, and support OTA upgrade, with high playability.

Qin PLUS EV adopts an integrated seat design, which has a good wrapping, and the whole system is equipped with a 6-way electrically adjustable main driver’s seat. However, the seat padding is hard and the ride comfort is average. Moreover, the seat is not designed to be perforated, and the heat dissipation of the seat is relatively general in hot summer.

The top model is also equipped with front and rear seat heating function, and it will be more perfect if the seat ventilation function can be added later.

In terms of ride space, the experiencers with a height of 182cm sit in the front and rear rows of Qin PLUS EV respectively. The head space in the front row is about 4 fingers, the head space in the back row is average, and there is room for more than one punch in the legs. The overall performance is basically consistent with Qin PLUS DM-i, which is enough to meet the needs of daily use.

Summary:At present, there are not many pure electric vehicles with 150,000 NEDC pure electric cruising range exceeding 600km. Qin PLUS EV is one of them, and its cost performance is quite high. With the blessing of large-capacity blade battery and excellent motor adjustment, we have measured that its average power consumption is 14.3 kW h/100 km, and the real cruising range can reach more than 500km, which has been quite excellent.

Its comfortable and smooth driving experience is also in line with the needs of family cars. Although the acceleration of 9.1s is a little worse, the power is enough to meet daily needs. If your budget is limited and you want to buy a pure electric sedan with a high cruising range, then Qin PLUS EV will be a worthy choice.

Porsche IPO market value exceeds Ferrari, who can seize the market opportunity in the new super-running era?

On September 29th, Porsche was listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany. On the same day, Porsche’s share price fell from the intraday high of 86.76 euros to the issue price and closed at 82.5 euros. On the first day of listing, the market value of Porsche was about 75.43 billion euros, slightly lower than that of audi ag, but it surpassed competitors such as Ferrari. According to the latest data, Porsche has become the fifth largest car company in the world by market value.

At this point, the world’s three super-running brands, Ferrari and Porsche, have all embarked on the road of capitalization, which has also triggered the imagination of Lotus.

At the beginning of this year, Lotus was also exposed to the listing information by foreign media. The official response said that Lotus Group was evaluating the stock market transactions in new york, London and China, and no relevant information was disclosed since then. Until the successful listing of Porsche, it once again aroused the interest of the outside world.

With the surge of hot money, perhaps Porsche IPO can be regarded as a landmark new node, but another more profound proposition has also been brought to the stage with Lotus’s "backwardness". Should we be in line with "money" or "front" in the new super-running era?

Porsche to the left, Lotus to the right

Judging from the news disclosed by foreign media, Lotus, as one of the three super-running brands in the world, has also moved the mind of IPO. Only in the top-level design at higher latitudes, there is something more important than IPO in the eyes of Lotus-anchoring the electrification transformation and opening a new track for pure electric intelligent super-running.

In fact, the listing of Ferrari and Porsche has provided a lot of funds for the group, and this kind of blood transfusion feedback has also been seen by the outside world.

Ferrari was originally a sub-brand of Fiat Chrysler (FCA). In 2015, Fiat divested Ferrari and obtained huge funds to repay Fiat’s debts. After Ferrari went public, its business developed well, and its share price soared. Now its market value is about $35 billion.

Today, Porsche will copy Ferrari’s path in the past, spin off from Volkswagen Group and go public independently, and even surpass the former in IPO scale and fundraising amount.

It is worth noting that for the Volkswagen Group, through this IPO, the preferred shares and original shares will be sold for 9.4 billion euros and 10.1 billion euros respectively, totaling 19.5 billion euros. 49% of the funds will be returned to shareholders in the form of special dividends, and the remaining nearly 9 billion euros will be used by Volkswagen Group to increase research and development of power batteries and in-vehicle software.

However, from the global securities market including A-shares, the attraction of IPO of automobile enterprises to capital lies not only in the current operating profit and sales volume, but also in the control and transformation of the future development direction with enterprises.

Although Tesla, which mainly focuses on pure electric intelligence, has just approached 1 million vehicles in annual sales, its global market value performance is actually four times that of Toyota, the second place with annual sales exceeding 10 million, and the third place is BYD, which started pure electric transformation as early as a decade ago and has completely stopped selling pure fuel vehicles.

In the domestic market, all auto listed companies related to the concept of new energy have made a lot of money in the securities market. Correspondingly, traditional automobile enterprises are experiencing a dark moment. In the past year, Ferrari’s share price has dropped from the highest $250 to the current $185, and its market value has shrunk by more than 25%.

From this perspective, perhaps the listing of Porsche at this time is not a good time. Although Porsche has already started the road of electric transformation, at present, only Taycan is a pure electric vehicle.

Ferrari only launched a brand-new electrification product strategy in June this year. Next, Ferrari will invest about 4.4 billion euros to develop pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. In 2025, Ferrari’s first pure electric car will come out.

It must be said that in the face of the fierce tide of electrification, although brands such as Ferrari and Porsche are moving closer to new energy sources, the actions of transformation are somewhat conservative. However, Lotus has taken the courage to cross the rubicon. As early as 2019, it unveiled its first pure electric supercar Evija, and in 2021, it solemnly bid farewell to the fuel era with the sports car Emira. Now Lotus’s super-running pure electric SUV——Eletre, which takes the lead in electrification, has arrived as scheduled.

It can be said with certainty that Lotus has a firmer determination and a more thorough strategy on the road of electrification transformation. In Lotus’s view, only subversive self-innovation can rush to run in the new era of super-running. It can be predicted that in the near future, when Lotus truly leads the new super-running era, the IPO at that time will be much more valuable.

Join hands with Geely and deeply embrace the China market.

Inevitably, the electrification transformation often requires huge funds, which is why many new car-making forces have been seeking financing or IPO. For ultra-luxury brands such as Porsche and Ferrari, which are small in size but high in style, the capital investment for transformation is equally expensive.

In front of Lotus, "money" seems to be the most important part on the road of self-innovation and self-breakthrough. In June, 2017, after Geely Holding acquired 51% shares of Lotus from Proton, this English lotus flower began to bloom again in China.

In the second year after being acquired by Geely, Lotus announced that it had turned losses into profits in fiscal year 2016/2017, making the brand profitable for the first time in 40 years.

In October 2018, on the occasion of the brand’s 70th anniversary, Lotus released the "Vision 80" 10-year brand revival plan, and put forward the "Sino-British dual engine" strategy, which is a firm transformation to electrification and intelligence, and this is also an automobile enterprise that proposed formal electrification transformation earlier among traditional automobile brands.

On August 31, 2021, Wuhan Lotus Technology Co., Ltd. was formally established. Backed by Geely Group, Lotus’ initial capital plan for entering China was as high as RMB 26.3 billion. Among them, the global headquarters of Lotus Technology has settled in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, and in Shanghai, the Lotus Marketing Headquarters Building has also recently landed.

Prior to this, Lotus Technology announced the product planning for launching three pure electric smart models in the next five years: in 2022, the E-class SUV; codenamed Type132 will be launched; In 2023, the E-class four-door coupe codenamed Type133 was launched; In 2025, the D-class "pure electric intelligent new species" codenamed Type134 was launched. He also said: "With track-level intelligent driving, cutting into the intelligent driving track is the direction that Lotus Technology will set in the next decade, and it is also a completely different technical path from any other brand."

This year, on June 1st, Lotus Eletre ushered in its first show in China, and started booking in Chinese mainland. The first batch of vehicles is expected to be delivered as early as early as 2023. It is worth mentioning that it is not only the first SUV of Lotus, but also the first pure electric five-door production car and the first domestic car of Lotus. It is not uncommon for sports car manufacturers to build SUVs, but Lotus is the first one to build pure electric SUVs.

At present, Lotus Eleetre is a completely new car in China market, and its promotion and store communication should start from 0. However, under the background of Geely Automobile’s strong channel, the development of China market also allows Lotus Eleetre to avoid many detours.

At present, Lotus Eletre plans to open nearly 50 sales and service stores in about 20 cities in China by the end of this year, covering core cities such as Beishangguangshen, Hangzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu, and radiating the whole country. It will also open two major services: "Smart Home Charging" and "Lotus Flash Charging", and plans to build nearly 200 self-operated high-end flash charging stations in about 20 cities across the country.

As the global headquarters of Lotus ultra-high-end intelligent electric lifestyle models, China bears extraordinary strategic significance. As the largest single market for most automobile brands in the world, it can be said that the China market is the best in the world.

From January to August this year, the domestic production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 3.97 million and 3.86 million respectively, and the market share reached 22.9%, exceeding the original expectation. Compared with other super-running brands, it can be said that Lotus’s electrification innovation based on the China market occupies a favorable time and place.

It is believed that under the new super-running era dominated by electrification and intelligence, the Lotus brand, which is deeply involved in the transformation and innovation of China market, will definitely take the lead in the future market competition.
