Test drive the Great Wall "off-road gun". Is this the off-road pickup you want?

  When you drive an off-road vehicle armed to the teeth and confidently go to Kuqi, Laozhanggou, Hunshandake and Helan Mountain, I guess what you are most afraid of is not the harsh natural environment, but the police uncles at large and small checkpoints. Because all they need is a word, your heavily armed off-road vehicle will soon be restored to its original factory."streaking" state.

  The appearance of the Great Wall Gun Off-road pickup truck can avoid your worries in this respect, because it has been equipped with hard-core configurations such as winch, wading hose, front and rear hard bars and three locks in the original factory, which not only has good off-road performance, but also makes the police uncle unable to pick out any faults. You can calmly go to your destination through various checkpoints, large and small.

  Compared with the passenger version we have tested before, the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck has a hotter body color scheme, and the fiery red body painting is particularly dazzling against the Alashan yellow sand.

  Anti-roll frame, shield design engine cabin cover, rough black matte mesh, exposed rivets embedded above black wheel eyebrows, all details of the design exude tough guy hormones, even at the scene of heroes gathering in various exaggerated and alternative modified cars, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck is enough to attract attention.

  Unlike many off-road vehicles, which are like straight men, the Great Wall Gun is more like a warm man who cares for you, because its performance in comfort and many technologies and entertainment configurations are very rich.

  First of all, compared with the pickup truck of the same level or even higher, the rear suspension of the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck adopts a multi-link structure, which can not only improve the comfort of the vehicle when driving on the paved road, but also greatly reduce the vibration and restless beating of the vehicle when driving on the paved road, so that the drivers and passengers in the car can always get a more comfortable ride experience.

  The seats in the car and the accessible parts of the body are also wrapped with a lot of leather materials, which greatly improves the ride comfort. The red and black interior design also adds a touch of fashion to the vehicle.

  In terms of configuration, the performance of the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck is also very kind.7-inch color screen instrument cluster, 9-inch color LCD screen and rich car networking functions are not only completely ahead of pickup trucks of the same class, but also not inferior to passenger cars of the same price. In addition, the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck is equipped with advanced L2-level automatic driving technology, with intelligent driving functions such as ESP, semi-automatic parking radar, lane departure, lane keeping and ACC adaptive cruise.

  For off-road people, the most concerned is obviously the performance of the off-road pickup truck of the Great Wall Gun. The biggest difference between the off-road pickup truck of the Great Wall Gun and the ordinary passenger version is that it has an extremely powerful off-road configuration.The keywords "three locks, tank turning around and crawling mode" are enough to make cross-country people secrete a lot of dopamine.

  This set of two-speed pickup truck with Great Wall Gun.TOD intelligent four-wheel drive system with front and rear axles with locking mechanism. In actual driving, when encountering road conditions such as cross shafts and bullet holes, the speed of system intervention is satisfactory, and because it has seven driving modes including snow, mud and sand, more intelligent settings can help drivers get out of trouble more easily, which is also a very friendly configuration for novices.

  In addition, when the vehicle speed is lower than15km/h, when the rear axle differential is in the open state, the steering radius can be reduced by braking the inner wheel through the electronic system. This function called "tank turning around" is believed to be familiar to everyone, which can really help drivers to pass through narrow road sections more smoothly when SUVs and pickups with large sizes encounter narrow road conditions.

  When driving in the desert, a good power reserve can provide enough confidence for the driver, and because the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck is equipped with shift paddles, the shift speed is also satisfactory in actual driving, and the faster shift response speed can ensure the continuous power output of the engine, making the vehicle travel more smoothly in the desert.

  During this auto show, Toyota introduced the new Lexus LM. Compared with the models on sale, the new Lexus LM will launch a plug-in hybrid version, and the luxury configuration in the car will be further improved. Specifically, the new Lexus LM will only provide four-seat models, thus forming a more obvious distinction with Erffa. In addition, the rear TV of the four-seat version of the current Lexus LM is 26 inches, and the new model is expected to expand the screen to 48 inches, and it is also expected to upgrade the seat material and configuration.

  In terms of power, the new car is expected to launch a hybrid system composed of 2.4T engine and motor (or named LM 500h), and it is also expected to add plug-in hybrid models (or named LM 450h+). However, it is still inconclusive whether the plug-in version will be composed of 2.5L engine or 3.5L engine and motor.

◆ Edit comments

  With the launch of the brand-new Lexus LM, we can see that this model has interpreted luxury to the extreme, and a higher-level "nanny car" has become a brand-new choice for many powerful consumers. The hot sale of new cars may have been assured. What about the fare increase of new cars with the double fare increase labels of Lexus and Premium Erffa? This may be the only suspense.

Dongfeng passenger car Haohan 2023 basic model

  At this year’s 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, dongfeng fengshen brought its brand-new product Haohan to the official launch. It is also the first model built by Dongfeng Group’s DSMA 2.0 platform, which is positioned as a compact SUV. In terms of appearance, let’s take a look at its design language. The new car adopts a more economical front face design, which is bolder than Haoji’s design technique in modeling. Compared with the fuel version, the new car obviously has a different taste.

  Needless to say, the penetrating taillights make the shape of the rear more layered. In addition, the new car uses a hidden door handle, and also provides a two-color body to choose from. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the fuel version are 4650/1905/1630mm and the wheelbase is 2775mm respectively. In terms of motivation, the official has not released its specific information at present, and we will continue to pay attention to it.

◆ Edit comments

  As the first model based on Dongfeng Group’s DSMA 2.0 platform, Haohan adopts a new generation of design language in styling, which shows us that this car will mainly be a compact SUV for young users. At the same time, according to previous information, dongfeng fengshen announced that its sales volume in March was 11,435 vehicles, up 8% year-on-year and 108% quarter-on-quarter, and the sales volume rose against the market. With the launch of this heavy model, it will bring better sales performance to the brand.


◆ New Range Rover Star Pulse

Home of the car

  At this year’s auto show, Land Rover’s new Range Rover Star Pulse was officially released, and the pre-sale price of the new car started at 568,000 yuan. Looking back at the appearance, the new car has made some adjustments on the basis of the cash. For example, the style of the net is more flexible and rich in texture. In addition, the internal structure of the headlight groups on both sides has also been optimized and upgraded, and new LED headlights have been introduced.

  Straight lines run from the front of the car to the rear of the car, and the minimalist design creates an elegant and smooth side effect of the Range Rover star pulse. The change of the rear end is mainly reflected in the internal structure and rear surrounding area of the taillight group, as well as the shape change of chrome-plated decorative parts and reflectors at the rear end. The new model is more recognizable. The new Range Rover Star Vein will also provide new styles of rims, and new blue and gray options will be introduced in the body color.

  In terms of interior, the new Range Rover Star Pulse has been simplified on the basis of the current style. The central control has integrated an 11.4-inch floating screen, and the original lower screen has been replaced by a wooden decorative board. The surrounding area of the gear handle has also adopted the same style, showing a simple and low-key style. In addition, four new colors have been added to the interior for users to choose from.

  The new car will be equipped with the latest generation of PIPIPro infotainment system, so that the driver can control the key functions of the vehicle through the central control panel. The system also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and supports natural voice control. It is reported that the new car can be equipped with Meridian 3D surround sound system with 17 speakers. The official power has not been announced yet. For reference, the current 250PS model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 184 kW (250 HP) and a maximum torque of 365 Nm. The current 340PS model is equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged engine and a +48V light mixing system, with a maximum power of 250kW (340HP) and a maximum torque of 480Nm. The whole system is equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system.

◆ Edit comments

  Range Rover Star Vein is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, and the current price is more overlapping with the higher-level medium-sized and large-sized SUVs, so its competitors have changed, such as Volvo XC90, BMW X5 and Audi Q7, etc., which will form a certain competitive relationship with Range Rover Star Vein. In the medium-sized SUV market, Porsche Macan, which has better performance in terms of brand and awareness, is an unavoidable opponent for new cars. Of course, in order to better meet the market demand, a hybrid version of the configuration was introduced this time, but at present, the official has not announced its specific parameters, and we will continue to pay attention. Generally speaking, the changes and adjustments in all aspects of the new model show good sincerity. Are you satisfied with it?


◆ Write to the end

  It can be seen that the new cars at this Shanghai Auto Show are still very interesting. For example, the booths of brands such as Wangwang U8, Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris C-DM and Gaoshan DHT-PHEV were packed on the day of launch. At the same time, the new Lexus LM has attracted many powerful consumers to become its potential users. Of course, BMW’s brand-new 7-series M760Le, new Honda Accord e:PHEV and other models have also gained a lot of attention as evergreen trees in the car world. These new cars will be put on the market soon, and I believe everyone can see them in 4S shops or exhibition halls. These are the hybrid models that will be listed at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show. Which model do you like? Or is there any car you are concerned about that is not reflected in the article? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for interaction.

Frequent failures, sales halved! The safest Volvo in the world, why can’t it be sold?

The inventor of three-point seat belts, the first automobile brand to use airbags, Volvo is undoubtedly the industry benchmark in terms of safety, but Volvo, the safety benchmark, has recently encountered trouble.

In May 2022, Volvo’s sales in China were only 9,488 vehicles, down 43.8% year-on-year, which was the second consecutive month, down more than 40% year-on-year. In April, Volvo sold 8,579 vehicles, down 47.8% year-on-year, and the sales volume was almost halved, which obviously exceeded the industry average. What’s worse, the combined sales volume of all Volvo models was not as good as that of LI, a new force in car making.

And this is the market answer sheet handed over by Volvo models when they all give substantial terminal discounts. Take Volvo S90 (parameter picture) as an example. The terminal discount of this car is as high as 70,000-80,000 yuan, and the terminal landing price is even in the early 300,000 s. It can be said that the car is being sold with a fracture. But how can Volvo, which has a broken bone, still not be sold?

The product update is slow, and the main models are exhausted.

In the fierce market competition environment, major car companies have been trying to introduce new products, update technology and keep up with the market development trend in recent years, but Volvo, a Swedish car company, is obviously a little slow in pace. Volvo’s three main models have not been replaced for a long time.

XC90 was released in 2014, S90 in 2016 and XC60 in 2017. Although there is a change in the middle, it is basically fine-tuned in appearance and power system, which is neither painful nor itchy, and it is difficult to form a new communication point, and it is also lack of freshness for consumers.

Safety and environmental protection cards can no longer be played.

Volvo’s models have always been known for their safety. Besides, the environmentally friendly interior materials is also its unique selling point. In addition, Volvo has no other differentiation advantages that can distinguish it from its competitors. Volvo’s models are obviously not as good as their competitors at the same level in terms of creating luxurious interior texture and driving texture. However, even for safety and environmental protection, these two cards are becoming more and more immovable.

In terms of safety, as long as the price of luxury brand models is more than 300,000, it may not be so extreme in safety, but it will not be particularly embarrassing. Moreover, with the wave of automobile electrification, more and more models are equipped with active safety systems, which also leads to Volvo’s safety brand, which is less and less attractive to consumers.

In terms of the environmental protection of the interior, many new brands have also begun to promote the interior of their own models and how much environmental protection materials have been used. Therefore, these two advantages that Volvo originally monopolized are gradually being disintegrated by competitors.

The complaint rate is high, with frequent failures.

Since the beginning of this year, some owners of Volvo S60 and S90 have found that the engine can’t start normally for many times, and even some vehicles have completely lost power and can’t be unlocked. Volvo dealers explain this problem as "software matching failure", claiming that it can be repaired by software upgrade, but the vehicle after maintenance and upgrade still has the problem of not starting. According to professional analysis, it may be because the 48V light mixing system of Volvo’s new model may have defects in its working logic, which may lead to power loss of the vehicle.

According to the information of many complaint websites such as Chezhi. com, the complaint sales ratio of Volvo’s models is not low. In the first quarter of this year, the complaint sales ratio of Volvo XC60 new energy was the highest. The main complaints were: suspected distribution reduction, car body accessories and electrical audio-visual system failure, driving safety auxiliary system failure, and engine/motor drive motor failure.

In the face of the long-standing problem of low-frequency resonance/abnormal sound, some car owners revealed that at that time, the dealer gave the "hush money" practice of signing a confidentiality agreement after compensation, but did not recall it.

Dislocation competition, hedging rate and brand premium are worrying.

Dislocation competition and substantial terminal concessions are the secrets of sales growth of Volvo models in previous years, but this practice has also brought great negative effects.

The method of high pricing and substantial terminal discount has seriously hurt Volvo’s brand image, which has led to the general public’s view that Volvo should not buy without breaking a bone, which has also led Volvo to continue the method of high pricing and high terminal discount when launching new models, which has also exhausted Volvo’s brand premium.

In addition, the way of substantial terminal concessions has led to a sharp decline in the value-keeping rate of Volvo models. Take several representative models as examples, the three-year value-keeping rate of Volvo XC60 is 44.67%, that of Volvo XC90 is 54.25%, that of Volvo S90 is 44.54%, and that of Volvo S60 is 45.74%. Even if you count the terminal concessions, the value-keeping rate of Volvo is calculated according to the actual landing price.

As it turns out, Volvo’s several brands, such as substantial discount, misplaced competition, safety and environmental protection, are becoming more and more immovable, and Volvo must make changes. We can also see that Volvo is also actively carrying out electrification transformation recently, hoping that Volvo can make a faster pace in electrification transformation. Perhaps only in this way can Volvo reverse the trend.

Newly built car report card in February: ideal win, Nezha rebound, zero run on the street.

Editor’s Note: This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account Shenrancaijing (ID: shenrancaijing). Author: Zou Shuai, editor: Dawn, Entrepreneurial State is reproduced with authorization, and the first picture is from the photo network.

January’s collective street beating is still in sight. Did the new forces of building cars return to blood in February?

On March 1st, the February sales data of new car-making forces arrived as scheduled. The leader is still ideal, with the delivery volume of 16,620 vehicles in February, up 97.5% year-on-year, and 1,479 vehicles more than last month. After the setback in January, Weilai also returned to 10,000 vehicles, with a delivery volume of 12,157 vehicles, up 98.3% year-on-year. The delivery volume in Tucki was less than 10,000, with only 6,010 vehicles, which was still down year-on-year, but increased by 15% compared with last month.

The momentum of the second echelon is also very strong. Nezha delivered 10,073 vehicles in February, and the last time Nezha delivered 10,000 vehicles in a month was last November. 3,198 vehicles were delivered at zero run and 5,455 vehicles were delivered at extreme krypton.

It is still in the off-season, and it is still too early to discuss the momentum and follow-up actions of the new forces that build cars. However, there are several changes worthy of attention: First, the subsidies of new energy countries have been withdrawn this year, which is a big test for new forces. Whether they can maintain the growth trend, or at least not to fall behind, depends on the ability of each family. Second, influenced by the "price butcher" Tesla, "Wei Xiaoli" has made price reduction adjustments this year, and it is necessary to observe whether the market pays the bill.

The main players are temporarily out of the sales gloom in January, and the car circle is still lively. Tucki P7 is revised, and the ideal L7 is about to be delivered. Wei Laiqing’s "866" and "775" are about to stir up the beams, and Weimar’s chicken feathers have not been cleaned yet. It is conceivable that there will be many variables to happen in the future, and the new forces should also set a plate and what trump cards they have.

The ideal is "close to the ideal" and Tucki is "unable to fly"

As usual, let’s name the new forces first.

The sales crown in February was ideal, with a delivery volume of 16,620 vehicles. In the same period last year, the ideal delivery of 8414 vehicles has doubled. The second place was Weilai, which delivered 12,157 vehicles. This month, Nezha returned to 10,000 vehicles and delivered 10,073 vehicles, winning the third place.

Tucki still didn’t run, and only 6,010 vehicles were delivered in February. As of the time of publication, the official of the press has not announced the delivery volume in February. According to the production and sales express of Sailis Group, the sales volume of Sailis cars (including AITO series) in February was 3,505. 5455 vehicles were delivered in Krypton and 3198 vehicles were delivered in Zero Run.

Cartography/deep combustion

In February this year, both Weilai and Ideality achieved a year-on-year increase of nearly 100%, and only Tucki was slightly embarrassed, with a year-on-year decrease of 3.45%. In the second half of last year, the state of Tucki was very general, and it went down all the way from August to November. In 2023, it seems that Tucki hasn’t recovered in the first two months.

These days, when the ideal sits on the pin crown, it looks very stable. The situation in January is quite special. With the Spring Festival holiday and the withdrawal of subsidies from new energy countries, the monthly performance of new car-making forces is relatively low, and only ideals have maintained a momentum of over 10,000. In February, although it was still in the off-season of sales of new energy vehicles, it kept the trend of rising delivery volume, with 1,479 vehicles more than last month.

Weilai’s delivery in February increased by 42.92% month-on-month, and the surge in delivery was probably related to its inventory clearance activities in that month. Now, only a few old models ES8, ES6 and EC6 are on sale, and "866" is about to bid farewell to the historical stage. It is "775", that is, ET7, ES7 and ET5.

The delivery data in February also shows how well the handover of "866" and "775" has been done. In January, Weilai sold 2,190 SUVs (ES7, ES6, EC6 and ES8), accounting for 25.75% of the total delivery, and 6,316 cars (ET5 and ET7), accounting for 74.25% of the total delivery. It can be seen that SUVs including "866" old models are not the main sales force, and the proportion of SUVs and cars is not small.

Looking at the situation in February, 5037 SUVs and 7120 cars were delivered. The delivery of SUVs accounted for 41.43% of the total delivery, and cars accounted for 58.57%. The proportion of SUVs increased significantly. It seems that "866" sold well.

Next, the first echelon also has key nodes that need to be tested. Ideal L7 was officially launched on February 8th, and it is the first 5-seat version of the ideal vehicle. According to the news, Pro and Max models will be delivered one after another on March 1, and Air models will be delivered one after another in early April. The results of the new car will not be seen until the delivery data in March and April. This time is well timed. After a part is delivered in March, the sales volume in the first quarter may be guaranteed. After another delivery in April, the beginning of the second quarter is also a "good start".

In March, the redesigned Tucki P7 will enter the market under the new name P7i. The arrival of the new P7 is very important for Tucki to fight a "turnaround". According to the news, the new car has been upgraded with lidar, and Tucki is still willing to invest in the auxiliary driving of new energy vehicles. And Tucki’s ability in intelligence is also the reason why the outside world still has confidence in it.

Nezha desperately wants to squeeze into the top three. In February, Nezha’s report card was not bad. According to the official, Nezha S recorded 2,048 sets in February, up 35% from January, accounting for about 20% of the total sales in that month. From the perspective of total delivery, the year-on-year and month-on-month increases were 41.5% and 67.4% respectively, and the trend of blood return was obvious.

Nezha’s record in February, to a certain extent, can also be confirmed, and its price increase has passed smoothly. In January, Nezha raised the prices of some models, with Nezha S, Nezha U-II and Nezha V each increasing by 3,000-6,000 yuan, with Nezha S having the highest price after adjustment, ranging from 202,800-341,800 yuan.

The reason for the price increase is that Nezha wants to hit the market upward.

Last July, Nezha became the top seller of new cars for the first time, and it also held the first place from August to November. However, compared with others, only from Nezha’s own situation, the delivery volume in October was 18,016 vehicles. Since then, the monthly delivery data has been falling all the way, even falling out of the 10,000-vehicle mark. Last December, everyone did well, but only 7,795 vehicles were sold in Nezha, down 48% from the previous month.

picture

In January this year, the monthly delivery volume of Nezha was the lowest in the past year, with 6,016 vehicles. After four months of continuous decline, the outside world began to suspect that Nezha’s hot wheels was no longer useful. Nezha’s style of play has always kept a big gap with "Wei Xiaoli". "Wei Xiaoli" occupies the mass market of 100,000-300,000 yuan, and the middle and high-end market of 300,000-500,000 yuan. Nezha has targeted the low-end market from the beginning, focusing on models below 200,000 yuan. The exchange of price for quantity has indeed brought about the rapid growth of Nezha, and it is not surprising to reach the top.

However, the fatigue in delivery means that it is difficult for this strategy to push Nezha further. Price increase is a risky move, but "seeking wealth and risk".

In the second echelon, another thing worthy of attention is the zero run. In February, Zero Run and Tucki were the only car companies that saw a year-on-year decline in sales. In January of this year, the delivery volume of zero-running was only 1139, which was the bottom of the month. Compared with January 2022, it plummeted by nearly 80%. In February, 3,198 vehicles were delivered at zero speed, which is still far from 10,000 vehicles.

In February, the run-by-run C11 extended-range version officially opened for pre-sale, with the pre-sale range of 159,800-200,000 yuan, and will be delivered in mid-March. In the face of weak sales for several months in a row, the zero-run may have to open the market by increasing the program.

The growth rate of krypton is second only to zero run. In February, 5,455 vehicles were delivered, an increase of 87.07%. Krypton once triumphed all the way, once surpassing Tucki. After jumping on the street with various families in January, its recovery situation in February was relatively clear. However, the "hidden worry" of extreme krypton is hard to ignore. Recently, there have been a lot of controversies about "extremely Kryptonian car owners", "non-refundable orders" and "two-faced". It remains to be seen whether the crisis in public opinion will affect the momentum of extremely Kryptonian.

Lantiu and Wenjie are the only car companies with a month-on-month decline. Lantu delivered only 1,107 vehicles, compared with 1,548 vehicles last month. The sales volume of the industry was 3,505 vehicles, a decrease of 21.68% from the previous month.

Weimar is still invisible. Employees leave their jobs without pay, factories shut down, suppliers cut off their supply, and there is no door after sale. These may be issues that Weimar should be more worried about. On February 27th, according to the staff of the Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau of Huanggang Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, the Municipal Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau and the Municipal Department of Human Resources and Social Security have set up a special class to intervene in this matter and are accepting the rights protection of Weimar employees.

The state of several second echelon can be divided into two categories. One is Nezha and Zero Run, both of which showed fatigue in the past period of time and picked up in February. The other is extreme krypton, Lan Tu and Wen Jie, who walk slowly in small steps, but at the same time walk carefully.

As early as before each company announced its sales volume, some insiders predicted that the delivery volume would probably increase in the off-season this year. The reason is obvious, the price has been reduced, and the volume has gone.

The biggest strength is Wei Lai. According to the limited-time preferential car purchase plan released by Weilai’s official community in February, in February 2023, users who bought 2022 ES8, ES6 and EC6, that is, the old model "866", Weilai covered the state subsidy in 2022. It is understood that the "866" model is no longer customized, so it is also stated in the plan that only a small number of 2022 ES8, ES6 and EC6 long-term exhibition cars can be purchased by users, and they can enjoy additional exhibition discounts according to different storage ages and vehicle conditions. Users who purchase ES8 exhibition cars can enjoy a maximum cash discount of 24,000 yuan, while users who purchase ES6 and EC6 exhibition cars can enjoy a maximum discount of 18,000 yuan.

Weilai’s price reduction has also received a response from Qin Lihong, president of Weilai. It is rumored that Weilai will reduce the price by 100,000 yuan, but Qin Lihong said that in fact, there are very few models with a total discount of 100,000 yuan. He also explained that the price reduction of "866" is because Weilai is clearing the first-generation model and preparing for the "866" model of the second-generation platform.

Weilai’s decline is about 20,000 yuan, and the situation in Tucki is similar. On January 17th, Xpeng Motors lowered the prices of G3i, P5 and P7, with an overall decrease of 20,000-36,000 yuan. Since February, Tucki has given an insurance subsidy of 7,000 yuan and a final payment subsidy of 10,000 yuan for specific models, and the maximum discount is nearly 50,000 yuan.

Weilai, who once shouted that he would not cut prices, can’t hold back now? In fact, it is normal for the new and old models to alternate, and it is normal to reduce prices and promote sales because of clearing inventory. From the perspective of Weilai’s strategy, it is reasonable to hand over the "866" to the next generation.

In addition, a necessary prerequisite for the replacement of old and new cars is that old cars can’t be sold. Take Weilai as an example, the sales of the three models of "866" all dropped by 1,000 units in January this year. EC6 bid farewell to four figures from last September, and the last one was ES6, which delivered 872 vehicles in January this year and 1,731 vehicles in December last year. Not surprisingly, the sales of the "866" three cars have also continued to decline in the past six months. In the case of the overall cold of the new energy vehicle market, the "775" all showed a downward trend after November last year. It is necessary to complete the handover drastically at this moment.

picture

There is also room for cost reduction. The price of lithium carbonate, the main raw material of batteries, began to fall in December last year. At present, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate is less than 400,000/ton. Last year, the highest point was close to 600,000/ton, and now it has dropped by 30%. Some analysts believe that the sales market of new energy vehicles is sluggish at the beginning of this year, the demand for batteries is weak, and the finished product inventory of lithium salt manufacturers is also at a high level, which is cold in the market. In the future, under the influence of the weak price of lithium carbonate, the price of spodumene may also fall further.

Looking back at the industry, new forces have cut prices one after another, and it is difficult to get rid of Tesla, the "price butcher". Recently, it was reported that Tesla may usher in a new round of price cuts in March, with Model 3 dropping to 159,900 and Model Y dropping to 179,900. There is another saying that Model 3 dropped to 199,000. The news has not yet received a response from Tesla.

Two facts are in front of us. First, the rumors of Tesla’s price reduction are probably not groundless. According to its consistent style, price reduction is not only a habitual action, but even a downward trend. Second, the price reduction of Tesla and the price reduction of the new domestic car-making forces are interactive. Tesla gradually approached the price band of the new forces, and the new forces had to cut prices to deal with it.

The industry believes that whether the new energy vehicle market can rebound depends on the situation in the second quarter.

Indeed, the ideal L7 is about to be delivered, and Tucki on hot bricks will also have its own "trump card upgrade", ending the embarrassing situation of being green and yellow, and accepting the market challenge again. Weilai has completed the new generation and the old generation, and the sales data in February also prove that this decision is right and it has been completed well. Next, it is necessary to rely on "775" to conquer the world.

Extreme Krypton, Lan Tu and Wen Jie belong to cumulative players. If there are no big moves, there is a high probability that they will make a steady breakthrough under the general trend. Nezha and Zero Run have gone the same difficult road, becoming high-end and brand-building. As for the result, there should be an answer in the next few months. Of course, the outside world is also waiting for an answer, and there is a silent Weimar.

Looking for a new track to break the circle, Krypton 001 preempts the static diagram

  [Aika Auto New Energy Channel Original]

  In this era when products and services need to be recognized by users at the same time, how to break the circle by circling users is almost a difficult problem faced by all traditional car-making enterprises, especially when we have seen the new forces of car-making moving towards the broad road. For me, it seems that I have found a way to tie pure electric genes, intelligent genes and young genes into the brand, and at the same time pave the way for a series of car scenes that may happen in the future. And this method is the brand of pure electric vehicle newly released by Geely, and it plans to open up a new track to win this era.

  In fact, no matter how much doubt you still have about this brand, as long as the product is hard enough, the user’s mind can be overheated instantly. If the extremely complex ecological circle is to radiate our entire travel and life in the future, so that this brand can meet the competition of the times with more vitality, then for us at present, it may be only this newly released (|) that needs attention. I don’t know what you think. After the press conference, Krypton opened the reservation at 21:00 that day, and my circle of friends was already screened by the reservation information at that time.

  Although the Krypton 001 at the press conference is only a test car, the actual production version will change in the future, but since everyone is so concerned about this car, why don’t we quench our thirst under limited conditions first, and interested friends can follow me down.

How to use Mercedes e300 handbrake?

https://car2.autoimg.cn/cardfs/product/g30/M05/67/E1/800x600_0_autohomecar__autohomecar__ChxknGVke16AYnYmAB0TMeHSqBk729.jpg

For Mercedes-Benz E300 before model year 2015, the use of handbrake is very simple. Just press the handbrake pedal to finish parking. If you need to release the handbrake, just pull the handbrake handle under the light switch on the left side of the instrument panel.

However, for the new Mercedes-Benz E300, the hand brake is used in a slightly different way. There are two ways to open the handbrake: one is controlled by the handbrake switch under the light switch on the left side of the instrument panel. As long as you press the switch, you can start the parking brake. When you need to release the parking state, just press the handbrake switch. Another way is that the vehicle will automatically control the handbrake. When the vehicle comes to a stop and steps on the brake pedal to shift into P gear, the vehicle will automatically start the parking brake. When it is necessary to release the handbrake, just shift into D or R and press the accelerator pedal.

It is worth noting that the hand brake is a very important safety device to prevent the vehicle from sliding or rolling when parking. Therefore, it is very necessary to use the handbrake correctly. When using the handbrake, you should first stop the vehicle completely, then pull up the handbrake pedal or handbrake switch, and finally put it into P gear. When releasing the handbrake, you should first shift into D or R gear, and then press the accelerator pedal, and the handbrake will be released automatically.

In short, the use of the handbrake of Mercedes-Benz E300 is very simple, no matter whether it is old or new, just follow the above steps. The use of the hand brake can not only ensure the safety of the vehicle, but also prolong the service life of the brake system, so the hand brake must be used correctly when parking.

After 9 years of new cars, Volvo’s brand-new XC60 was replaced and sold for 369,900-609,900 yuan.

Original title: After 9 years of new cars, Volvo’s brand-new XC60 was replaced and sold for 369,900-609,900 yuan.

As early as nine days ago, the ticket circle was screened by the preheating poster of Volvo’s new car listing. Volvo broke the ice from northern Europe, which was the ninth day of the countdown to the listing of the new XC60. The most obvious information obtained from the poster was not only the listing time, but also the pure Nordic descent of Volvo born in Sweden. Up to today, we have just collected nine posters calling for "Dragon" with different natural scenery and humanistic customs. We can see Volvo’s historical footprints all over the world and coming to China across the ocean, and we are also full of expectations for this luxury SUV focusing on humanities and technology.


However, the countdown to the warm-up of general activities starts from the conventional number of "6" days or "3" days. This time, Volvo chose to show it with 9 pictures. Presumably, in addition to the constant inspiration, there are other deep meanings, such as the new car that has been replaced for 9 years-the brand-new XC60.


On November 3rd, the last first-generation domestic Volvo XC60 was officially rolled off the assembly line from Chengdu factory, and the first-generation XC60, which debuted in March 2008, successfully withdrew from the historical stage after nine years of wind and rain. Subsequently, the second-generation Volvo brand-new XC60 also made its domestic debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show and began to be pre-sold. As the sales pillar of the Volvo family, it first entered the XC60 in China by pure import in April 2009, completed the listing of the modified model in August 2013, and finally made it domestically and went on sale in the Chengdu factory in November 2014. Nowadays, the brand-new XC60 has also been made in China, and it was officially launched today. The new car has launched eight models with three kinds of power, and the price is 369,900-609,900 yuan. At the same time, Volvo also launched the exclusive "extraordinary courtesy" of the new XC60: the first 6,666 car owners will receive free insurance for two years.

There is no doubt that the new XC60 listed this time is of great significance to Volvo. Let’s put aside its status as a heavy product that has been replaced and carefully polished after nine years of precipitation. As far as the XC60 is an important strategic position for Volvo itself, even if the previous generation model has been on the market for nine years, its sales volume is still ranked NO.1 among Volvo’s many models, so it is self-evident how important this car is. So what changes have been made to the new car in terms of products, and what changes will its arrival bring to the domestic luxury medium-sized SUV market structure? Let’s take a look with these questions.

In terms of design, the new XC60 continues the design style of XC90, especially the family-style classic elements such as the highly recognizable "Raytheon Hammer" LED headlights, the "Viking Axe" taillights and the flagpole exterior rearview mirror, all of which appear on the new XC60. A large number of vertical line elements have also created an atmosphere full of muscle and strength for the new car. In addition, the new car also offers two design styles, the deluxe version and the newly designed R-Design sports version, to meet the personalized and diversified needs of users. The new XC60 has a length/width/height dimension of 4688/1902/1658mm and a wheelbase of 2865mm, which is obviously superior in the same class.


In terms of interior, the new XC60 continues the simple family style, further explaining the exquisiteness and luxury. The new car innovatively introduces "drifting wood" as the interior material, and the exquisite lines and textures create a flowing aesthetic feeling, creating a strong Nordic style. In addition, the parts of the car that contact with the human body are all covered with soft materials to enhance the comfort.


It is worth noting that the CleanZone clean cockpit built by the new XC60 has health technologies such as IAQS in-vehicle air quality control system, CZIS active cockpit cleaning system, real-time monitoring of AQI PM2.5, and anti-sensitivity control of interior materials. In particular, the active cockpit cleaning system innovatively introduces the exhaust function. When the temperature outside the car exceeds 10℃, the new car will automatically start the ventilation equipment after remote control unlocking to disperse the dirty gas accumulated in the car and keep the air inside the car natural and fresh. In addition, the Nappa leather seat is ergonomically designed, providing up to 45 kinds of electric massage combinations, and has the only electric leg and lateral support in its class, providing a more comfortable riding experience.


In addition, the 9-inch vertical central control display screen, 12.3-inch LCD intelligent instrument panel and HUB head-up display configuration assembled in the new car add a lot of sense of science and technology. The crystal electronic shift lever, one-button start knob and driving mode selection impeller from Orrefors, Sweden are made with precision and meticulous materials, which fully embodies the Scandinavian aesthetic luxury design featured by the new XC60.



Volvo, which is famous for its safety, is naturally sloppy in the new XC60. The new car is equipped with ACC adaptive cruise control system, driver safety warning control system, FAHB fully intelligent active high beam, BLIS enhanced blind spot information system and LKA lane keeping auxiliary system. At the same time, the new XC60 is also equipped with the Pilot Assist function, which can realize autopilot assistance within 0~130 km/h.. It is worth mentioning that the new XC60 also comes standard with the upgraded City Safety urban safety system. Compared with the previous generation models, the system has added three new active safety technologies: emergency avoidance auxiliary function, intelligent avoidance of opposite vehicles and intelligent avoidance of vehicles coming in blind areas, which can protect driving safety in all directions.


In terms of power, the new XC60 provides T4, T5 and T8 hybrid power levels. Only the T4 power model is two-wheel drive, and the other models are four-wheel drive. The T4 model has a maximum power of 190 HP and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The T5 model has a maximum power of 254 HP and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. It is worth mentioning that the T8 hybrid version of the car has a comprehensive maximum power of 407 HP, a comprehensive maximum torque of 640 Nm, an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in only 5.3 seconds, a comprehensive fuel consumption as low as 2.3 liters /100 km, and a strong power level.

Write at the end:

According to the data, Volvo’s sales in the country maintained a strong growth trend in November, leading the world with nearly 30% sales growth, and successfully broke through the 100,000-vehicle mark in late November, and the annual sales volume is expected to set a record for the fourth consecutive year. As the sales pillar of Volvo cars, S90, S60L and XC60 also performed brilliantly, among which XC60 accounted for nearly one-third of Volvo’s total sales in China. Now the new XC60 will undoubtedly boost Volvo’s overall sales.


Looking around the fiercely competitive domestic luxury medium-sized SUV market, compared with BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC in the luxury brand BBA camp, and even other luxury medium-sized SUVs such as Lexus NX and Cadillac XT5, the product performance of the new XC60 is also bright. In terms of design, the original Nordic style, more powerful and energy-saving power system, outstanding configuration and leading safety system at the same level, and the scalable modular architecture based on Volvo SPA also make the new XC60 reach a new height in safety and driving control. In addition, compared with the new energy vehicles that are slightly scarce in the same class, the high-performance hybrid version provided by the new XC60 gives consumers more choices. Compared with BBA’s deep-rooted brand appeal in China, Volvo speaks for itself with the new XC60′ s solid product strength. It can be predicted that the arrival of the new XC60 will bring a powerful impact to the luxury medium-sized SUV market.
