1. Overview of the car networking industry

— — definition

The Internet of Vehicles is a large-scale system network that carries out wireless communication and information exchange between vehicles and X (X: vehicles, roads, pedestrians and cloud platforms, etc.) based on the intranet, inter-vehicle network and vehicle cloud network, and is an integrated network that can realize intelligent traffic management, intelligent dynamics and intelligent control of vehicles. It is a typical application of Internet of Things technology in the field of transportation systems.

From the structural level, the vehicle networking system is a "end-pipe cloud" three-layer structure system: the first layer is the end system, the second layer is the pipe system, and the third layer is the cloud system.

From the perspective of application classification, the Internet of Vehicles can be divided from the perspectives of networking technology, application objects and demand objects. No matter which classification method, it basically involves information service applications with user experience as the core, intelligent automobile applications with vehicle driving as the core and collaborative applications.

● Car history

Home of the car

  In 1972, the first-generation BMW 5 Series (E12) was officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It adopted a brand-new naming method of "5 Series" (the fifth new car series after BMW 700, BMW Neue Klasse, BMW New Six and BMW CS). The "5" in the rear logo represents its car series, the last two digits represent the engine displacement, and the last letter represents the power form. The 5 Series is the first BMW with the naming method of "Digital+Series". Before that, the name of BMW model was complicated, and its birth also opened a brand-new classic design era for BMW.

  In order to meet the demand of consumers for sports models, BMW began to launch special upgrade services for the first generation of 5 Series cars. Finally, in 1980, BMW simply introduced the official sports version of the BMW 5 Series-M535i, which was equipped with a three-spoke sports steering wheel, RECARO sports seats and 14-inch alloy wheels produced by BBS, and was equipped with a 3.5-liter inline six-cylinder naturally aspirated fuel injection engine with a maximum power of 218 HP (160 kW)/5,200 rpm and a maximum torque of 310 N m. From 1972 to 1984, the first generation BMW 5 Series produced a total of 699,094 units. As the first model of the new car series, the BMW 5 Series (E12) has achieved great success in both sales volume and market recognition.

Home of the car

  In 1981, the second-generation BMW 5 Series (E28) came out with a more powerful front nose and rear end, and the double kidney air intake grille was separated for the first time. The high beam and running lights used round headlights with different diameters, which made the visual impression more full. Although the body size is similar to that of the first generation, its sports style is more intense. Its power selection ranges from 90 horsepower to 184 horsepower, and then it is extended to the first diesel version of the BMW family-524 TD. The 2.4-liter straight six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine can output up to 115 horsepower.

  M535i, which made the first generation BMW 5 Series shine, appeared in the catalogue of the second generation in 1985. Seven months later, an M5, which was completely built by BMW Sports Department based on BMW 5 Series (E28), was officially launched. BMW decided to sell 500 M5(E28) in the European market, but the number of orders received since then far exceeded BMW’s expectations, reaching four times the original number. From 1981 to 1988, the second generation BMW 5 Series produced a total of 722,328 units. Such brilliant achievements laid a solid foundation for the research and development of the next generation models.

  In 1988, the third-generation BMW 5 Series (E34) officially appeared to the public. The front face shape was still the "golden combination" of the four round headlights and the double kidney grille, but the designer deliberately enlarged the "double kidney" and wrapped it in the decoration of the same color as the body while reducing the area of the air intake grille as a whole. This generation of 5 Series not only shows Bavarian muscular sense in appearance, but also the power selection of up to eleven engines is even more daunting. The power of these engines has jumped from 113 horsepower in the 518i to 340 horsepower in the M5.

  In 1991, the third-generation BMW 5 Series began to provide travel cars, and the rear window that can be opened separately on the trunk lid was hailed as the finishing touch. A hybrid concept car based on the 3rd generation BMW 5 Series also appeared in 1994. It is worth mentioning that in 1991, with the unloading of a 518i in Tianjin Port, BMW officially entered the eyes of consumers in China. From 1988 to 1996, the third generation BMW 5 Series produced a total of 1,333,412 units, which was almost twice that of the previous generation BMW 5 Series, and the status of the 5 Series model was further pushed to a new height.

  In 1992, BMW welcomed an epoch-making design director-chris bangle from the United States. "Cars are not only vehicles or industrial products, but also represent the personality of brands and users." Chris bangle’s famous professional motto was verified in 1995. In 1995, the fourth generation BMW 5 Series (E39) was released, which was the first BMW model designed by Bangor. He designed lampshades for the two iconic round headlights of the 5 Series, and in 2000, he upgraded the "angel eye" design of the daytime running light ring, which, together with the kidney air intake grille, became an unforgettable BMW family element in the future. From 1995 to 2004, the fourth generation BMW 5 Series sold more than 1.5 million units in the world, which proved that Bangor had made great achievements in the transformation of 5 Series design style.

  Time came in 2003, and the fifth generation BMW 5 Series (E60) was released. Bangor continued to develop his own advanced design ideas, but compared with the previous generation, the design of E60 brought overwhelming doubts. Its iconic "nostril" has become the largest double kidney air intake grille in the history of Series 5, and it has become more and more rounded from the rectangle. The headlights with "angel eyes" have also changed the more traditional style in the past. The rising eyebrows and irregular headlights make it difficult for loyal BMW fans to accept them for a while. Has the 5 Series lost its way? Any problem can be solved by time. Today, when you look at its modeling design again, you will find that it is still out of date.

Who are you picking? Welcome to discuss in the comments section. (Text/car home zhang xiaodan)

Huawei holds Chery, can it intercept Xiaomi?

At Huawei’s spring new product launch conference on April 11th, Huawei’s managing director, consumer BG CEO and chairman of Huawei’s smart car solution BU, who have been nicknamed "Big Mouth", changed their high-profile in the past and became much restrained.

In the audience’s "far ahead" booing, he didn’t pick up this quarrel at all.

Only when talking about the HarmonyOS cockpit of Zhijie S7, he couldn’t help but send out a soul torture: "Why do you want to install a mobile phone bracket in the car? I have never thought about it."

The interaction between giants is always warm and affectionate. Minutes after Mr. Yu raised the question, Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, responded in Weibo. Mr. Lei, who has always been smiling at the question, also sent a vote conveniently, which attracted almost 110 thousand people to vote at once.

On the other hand, the second release of Zhijie S7 is indeed an equal competitor to Xiaomi SU7. The two cars are almost the same in size, and their intelligence and ecological aspects are also different.

This pair of old enemies of smart phones, smart ecology and the Internet of Everything is now going to fight in the field of smart cars.

Wisdom S7, can you win Xiaomi?

As early as November 28th, 2023, Zhijie S7, the first smart car jointly built by Huawei and Chery, held a listing conference in Shenzhen. As the first car product of "Huawei X World", Zhijie S7 won more than 20,000 orders as soon as it went public. However, because the production capacity could not keep up with the demand, it was not until March this year that the delivery of this car began to really increase. In the long waiting cycle, many users chose to unsubscribe.

This is why Huawei chose to make a second release of Zhijie S7 before the Beijing Auto Show on April 25th. On the one hand, from the perspective of "helping car companies build good cars", as the first product of cooperation between Huawei and Chery, Zhijie S7 must achieve a bright result. On the other hand, under the background of Xiaomi SU7 killing all sides, Yu Chengdong and Huawei must not let Lei Jun’s life "go too smoothly".

So, what is the competitiveness of the "new" intellectual S7?

As a pure electric car, this model launched five price configurations in one breath. Among them, except for the starting price of the Pro rear-drive long-life version, the prices of the Max and Max+versions of the rear-drive long-life intelligent driving models have been lowered by 20,000 yuan.

As the lowest entry-level model, the Pro rear-drive long-life battery has increased to 82kWh, and the CLTC battery life has increased to 705 km. At the same time, this car is also equipped with Huawei’s visual intelligent driving "HUAWEI ADS Basic Edition" for the first time, which can realize the NCA intelligent driving navigation auxiliary function of high-speed and urban expressway.

Huawei tries to avoid backstab for old car owners. The matching fund of 25,000 yuan and the matching fund of 15,000 yuan for interior and exterior decoration at the time of the first listing have now shrunk into a "rejuvenation right" of 30,000 yuan. At the same time, Huawei also provided 3,000 yuan MagLink tablet computer set and 10,000 yuan cash-filled red envelopes to the old car owners. Combined with the 10 thousand yuan discount that many old car owners got when they were waiting to pick up the car, the rights and interests in the inside and outside were also a decline.

According to the author, many old car owners are quite satisfied with this.

However, compared with Xiaomi SU7, this car is not competitive enough in pricing. In the same lowest configuration, the Pro rear-drive long-life version of Zhijie S7 is nearly 34,000 yuan higher than the standard long-life intelligent driving version of Xiaomi Su7. Although the intelligent and comfortable configurations such as intelligent driving and seat adjustment have been upgraded, the cruising range, body size and motor power of the two cars are basically the same.

In terms of high-profile models equipped with lidar, air suspension and dual-motor four-wheel drive, the starting price of the Max RS four-wheel drive performance version of Zhijie S7 reached 329,800 yuan. The Max version of Xiaomi’s four-wheel drive is only 299,900 yuan, which is also a big step.

In my opinion, as the "skirting line" model of Huawei Smart Car, the company did not intend to let Zhijie S7 directly take the cost-effective route to play hand-to-hand combat with Xiaomi SU7 and even Geely Galaxy E8. After all, Huawei still doesn’t want to build a car directly, so it needs to maintain a certain price bottom line in the smart car selection business, so as to leave a profit margin for smart car software and hardware solutions such as ADS Smart Drive and HarmonyOS Cockpit.

In other words, because of the extra cost and profit brought by the incremental parts of smart cars, Huawei has to let the smart car take the "boutique route" and leave enough living space for Xiaomi SU7. Combined with Huawei’s higher brand image and premium compared with Xiaomi, Zhijie S7 may not become the number one competing product of SU7 at the terminal.

Needless to say, there is a big gap between Zhijie S7 and Xiaomi SU7 in the definition of vehicle products. Compared with the latter, it emphasizes the labels that young people care more about, such as sports and sense of technology. The former actually works harder on comfort.

By comparing the side views of vehicles, it can be seen that the D-pillar of Zhijie S7 falls further back, and the triangular window area is larger than that of SU7. Therefore, S7 should give more ample space for the head space and seat back angle of the rear passengers. Xiaomi SU7 is bound to choose the interior space for the lifting tail and duck tail shape at the tail.

Therefore, the author believes that although many auto media will compare these two cars, at the terminal level, there are not as many users who really choose them as competing products as the outside world thinks.

In fact, the biggest challenge before Yu Chengdong is not to turn over the millet, but to help Chery.

Can Huawei help Chery?

As mentioned above, Zhijie S7 completed its first release on November 28th and received 20,000 orders within 24 hours. However, after that, Chery, Huawei’s manufacturing partner, has been delayed in getting on the bus, resulting in that the car has not delivered 20,000 orders so far.

According to the author’s understanding, there are two main reasons: first, Chery’s internal pull on production capacity resources; Second, Chery wavered at first about what attitude it should take to cooperate with Huawei.

Let’s talk about the first point. Just like Wen Jie M5 was born out of Celestial SF5, Zhi Jie S7 is also based on the OEM’s own model-Xing Ji Yuan ES.

As Chery’s first C-class pure electric car for the high-end market, Xingjiyuan ES uses E0X platform, which cost 10 billion yuan, and is equipped with a series of new configurations that are unfamiliar to Chery, including smart chassis, air suspension and zero-gravity seats.

According to Chery’s plan, this car will form a high-low collocation with Zhijie S7, with two flowers inside and outside the wall. The problem is that Chery, which has been building models below 200 thousand yuan, is also the first time to build high-end cars, lacking running-in This brings a series of challenges to R&D, production, sales and service.

What’s more, the release rhythm of Zhijie S7 has been advanced at the request of Huawei. Originally, the prototype car of this car was produced in Chery’s Intelligent Networked Super One Factory, and the production car was not produced until the "Super Two" (formerly known as this) factory was completed in December of that year. However, the time is tight and the task is urgent, so this car has to be put in a factory to produce in line with the fuel car like Star Map and Moon.

This brings another question: Should the limited production capacity be reserved for the "pro-son" Era ES, or for the adopted "proton" intellectual S7?

The author doesn’t know what happened in this, but from the final result, the sales volume of Xingyuan ES is a tragedy. Since its delivery in December last year, this car, together with the test drive, has delivered less than 2,500 vehicles nationwide, which is even worse than the sales of Zhijie S7 in March.

In fact, according to a document entitled "Proposal on" All Marketing and Total Growth "of Star Map Marketing Center" obtained by the author, starting from January 29th, the department from the general manager to the ordinary employees needs to complete the sales task of 10 to 2 new cars in Star Age every year, and a total of 404 people need to complete the sales of 1,170 new cars in the whole year. In this process, each subdivision department will also make statistics and report on the car sales of department personnel on the 2nd of each month.

It is included in the KPI of all staff. To the author’s surprise, Chery even needs every employee to apportion the sales volume of these 1170 cars, which is enough to show that it has no confidence in the prospect of Xingji ES.

Of course, Huawei is not without help. At the beginning of January this year, the company also had a problem with the supply of spare parts for smart cars. The MDC 810, a computing unit used in the high-level intelligent driving assistance system, could not be supplied due to the shortage of parts. Affected by this, Aouita 12 also suffered.

It can be seen that in the cooperation of Huawei’s intelligent car selection, whether the two parties can guarantee each other not to drag their feet directly affects whether the new car can achieve the sales target. In this process, what attitude and resources should car companies use to cooperate with Huawei is the decisive factor.

According to online news, on January 29th, Han Biwen, deputy general manager of Chery Automobile and general manager in charge of the manufacturing division and in charge of docking with Huawei, resigned. It is said that the reason for his departure was "due to the lack of cooperation from Huawei, the delivery of Zhijie S7 was delayed in a large area and was under great pressure". Although the company spokesman denied this statement, this explanation is obviously not enough to convince everyone.

However, some insiders revealed to the author that Huawei’s attitude in the process of cooperation with Chery is quite strong, with high requirements on manufacturing and quality, and frequent contradictions between the two sides. However, the problems in Chery’s production of intelligent S7 are not solved by Han Biwen on his own. Therefore, in the end, he had to leave his job to end his career at Chery.

Now, at the press conference on April 11th, Chery showed unprecedented attention. Yin Tongyue, the chairman of the company, personally went to the conference platform, saying that Zhijie is already the most important project of Chery. He and Yu Chengdong "have face-to-face communication once a month, online communication once a week, and send WeChat communication every day."

In the course of the speech, Yin Tongyue also defined Huawei’s smart car selection:

"In China, building a good car is inseparable from Huawei technology!"

Obviously, now that both sides have paid attention to the intellectual world, the next step is to see how the intellectual world S7 and the brand’s next SUV model can sell.

Write at the end:

Some people in the industry are optimistic about the steady-state sales of Zhijie S7. Zhu Kai, general manager of Jielan Road, told the author that in the process of user research, they found that many car owners spoke highly of the driving experience and chassis texture of Zhijie S7. "Some dual owners of Xiaomi SU7 and Zhijie S7 said that the latter is more’ virtuous’ than the former. When driving at high speed, the body can be firmly sucked on the ground. "

Therefore, he believes that the steady-state sales of this car will be better than some people think, "about 3,000 vehicles a month is not a problem."

But the author is curious about how many automobile products Huawei’s brand potential energy can radiate. After all, according to the existing successful cases, it can be seen that if a car is only equipped with Huawei’s intelligent driving or intelligent cabin solution, it is not enough to help it achieve big sales. Only by putting the car into Huawei’s terminal stores for sale, like the brands of Wenjie and Zhijie, can its sales volume get a qualitative leap.

However, the size of Huawei stores is also fixed. In addition to the car, Huawei mobile phones, tablets, smart screens (TVs) and various smart home products have to be put inside. Whether the subsequent models can enjoy this kind of "blessing" is obviously unknown.

From this point of view, whether Huawei can defeat Xiaomi with Chery and other car companies is determined to some extent by the interior area of Huawei exhibition hall.

Mercedes-Benz (Import) Mercedes-Benz GLB (Overseas) 2019 Basic Model

  Let’s talk about the overseas version of Mercedes-Benz GLB, which has already appeared. Different people have different opinions. I think the design of Mercedes-Benz GLB is more like a "decent" SUV. The more square design and family-style design elements are very suitable for some young consumers. Even in the absence of a hard-core atmosphere, GLB has found its own position without all-terrain tires, roof lighting and personality front surround, but the Buddha can be wild, stable and joyful.

  In terms of details, the relatively square large-size front grille conforms to the family face, plus the chrome-plated shape of the fog lights on both sides below and the air intakes composed of several rectangles below the grille, which also enhances their recognition and momentum to a certain extent.

  The side of GLB’s body is quite three-dimensional, and the nearly vertical D-pillar design not only takes care of the interior space, but also proves the identity of its SUV. Among many urban SUVs with coupe style, I believe that GLB, a very traditional design, will still please some people. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4634/1834/1658mm and the wheelbase is 2829 mm. At the tail of Mercedes-Benz GLB, it was basically a straight and concise line battle. The taillight design is the same as that of Mercedes-Benz GLC, and the LED strip with irregular rounded corners is adopted inside, which is hard enough.

  If you still like AMG’s sports style, GLB’s sports kit version may be what you want. Compared with the standard version, the sports kit version looks more dynamic. The star-shaped chrome-plated mesh+single banner grille, exaggerated front enclosure (imitation) air intake and dense spoke AMG wheels make the strong sports style on the AMG model attached to GLB.

  Like the appearance, there are two styles to choose from in the interior. You can choose to be a mature and steady family man or a wild boy. But what remains unchanged is the iconic all-LCD instrument panel+integrated large screen of central control vehicle, turbine-type air conditioning outlet shape, brand-new Touchpad controller, steering wheel with full metal texture and thumb control function, or familiar "taste". Of course, the MBUX car system with natural speech recognition function and many in-vehicle interconnection functions will naturally not be absent.

  Although it is a compact SUV, Mercedes-Benz GLB can be equipped with a third row of seats in addition to the traditional five-seat layout, thus becoming a seven-seat SUV. When 7 seats are selected, the vehicle seat layout becomes 2+3+2, in which the third row of seats supports 50/50 split down. Officials say the third row of seats is suitable for two passengers with a height of no more than 168cm.

"Beijing Benz GLB 200』"

  According to the application information, GLB has only announced two models, namely GLB 180 and GLB 200. As an entry-level GLB180 model, it not only cancels the front LED headlights and chrome trim, but also does not use LED as the tail light source. This is also to reduce the cost and make the price of entry-level models more close to the people. In terms of power, GLB 180 and GLB 200 will be equipped with high and low power versions of the 1.3T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 136 HP and 163 HP, while the GLB 250 4MATIC with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine has no news yet.

Editor’s comment:

  It took only two months from the release of the concept car close to the production model to the launch. Compared with other models, this time is faster, which also proves from the side that Mercedes-Benz attaches great importance to GLB this time and Mercedes-Benz has high expectations for it. Before doing it, consumers who have been obsessed with overly individualistic GLA or slightly expensive GLC finally have a new choice and will no longer worry about the difficulty of choosing. At the same time, the new car is more considerate. In addition to the standard version of the five-seat model, GLB will also launch a seven-seat model, which will increase the practicality of the new car to some extent.


● Mercedes-Maibakh GLS

  At the 2018 Beijing Auto Show, the Mercedes-Maibakh Ultimate Luxury concept car made its world debut in Beijing. This concept car shows Maibakh’s determination to enter the high-end SUV market, and we also see that Maibakh has high hopes for the China market. At the upcoming Guangzhou Auto Show in 2019, Maibakh’s brand-new SUV model, Maibakh GLS, is expected to be unveiled simultaneously with overseas markets.

  Compared with Mercedes-Benz GLS, Maibakh GLS will be more luxury-oriented, and will pay more attention to creating a sense of honor in many details. Referring to the previously exposed low camouflage spy photos, the front face of this car will be modeled with Maibakh’s iconic multi-frame grille, which is expected to be decorated with a lot of chrome plating. In the case of retaining the overall design of Mercedes-Benz GLS, the front enclosure is expected to be more concise and will also incorporate chrome trim.

  On the side, Maibakh GLS is expected to add its own body logo on the basis of the regular version, and the shape of the side skirt will also be adjusted. In addition, the new car will be equipped with dense spoke wheels, and the production version is expected to be chrome-plated or polished. On the tail side, the exhaust styling of the new car is more unique.

  All of the above are predictions based on the recently exposed low camouflage spy photos. As a brand new SUV product of Maibakh brand, this car is expected to have many improvements in the interior. It is reported that this car will be equipped with a 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine, and the output power is expected to be between 466 and 487 horsepower. In addition, some foreign media said that the 6.0T V12 engine will also appear in the power options of this car.

Editor’s comment:

  Maibakh is not dismissive of the SUV market. In 2017, it brought the Mercedes-Maibakh G 650 Landaulet model, but this car is positioned in a more personalized and niche market. Maibakh GLS, which will be launched this time, is a truly luxurious and comfortable product for consumers, and it is also a truly market-oriented model.

  It is nothing new for ultra-luxury brands to set foot in the SUV market. Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Bentley Tim Yue have all refreshed our "three views", and even Lamborghini and Aston Martin have given in to the SUV market. It’s time for Mercedes-Maibakh, which is rooted in the top market, to come up with an SUV. Facts have proved that not all local tyrants like to sit in executive-class cars, and around 2 million, local tyrants do not have many choices.

  In terms of configuration, the new car provides 17-inch /18-inch rims, panoramic sunroof, roof rack, black rear spoiler/black exterior mirror shell and other configurations according to different models. In terms of power, the domestic version of the new car is equipped with a 1.2T engine with a maximum power of 136 HP. The transmission system is expected to match the 5-speed manual gearbox /6-speed automatic gearbox, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology declared that the fuel consumption is 5.0L/100km;. As for Peugeot e-2008, it is driven by pure electricity, in which the maximum power of the motor is 136 HP and the peak torque is 260 Nm. The top speed is 150km/h and the cruising range of NEDC is 430km.

Editor’s comment:

  The domestically produced old model domestically produced 2008 entered domestic sales in April 2013. While leading the trend of small SUVs, it also won a monthly sales of 8,000 units. However, 2008 did not make good use of its own advantages, and the speed of upgrading the product itself was quite slow, which led to the reduction of the product strength of the whole vehicle. The popularity of legal brands has also been declining, and the old model 2008 has finally ushered in the end of production suspension.

  After thorough planning, a new generation of 2008 has made a comeback. The new car has a brand-new appearance and a high-tech interior configuration. The old 2008 gives the impression of weak power, and it is expected to be eliminated with the continued use of the 1.2T engine. In terms of new energy, the 430km battery life of e-2008 is also good. However, today’s small SUV market is not as hot as it used to be, and the product strength of joint venture SUV competitors is not what it used to be. Obviously, there are still many things to be done if the brand-new 2008 wants to return to glory.

● Viequenko Banner

  As the brand-new flagship SUV of SAIC-GM-Buick, Angkeqi was not listed at this auto show, but chose to be listed in the "Buick SUV Family Night" on the eve of the auto show. The new car adopts a 7-seat layout of 2+3+2, positioning medium and large SUVs, which greatly meets the needs of family cars.

  According to the self-positioning of Angke Banner, it is necessary to have a sense of luxury and practicality in design. From this point of view, the family-style design style is naturally essential. At the same time, the design of Matrix LED split headlights makes Angkor Banner look extremely sharp. The headlights on the upper part are penetrated by silver strips, and the lights in the fog lights on both sides and the air inlets on both sides add a sense of movement. In addition, the front face of the new car adopts a multi-layer design with complex lines, and the large-size shield-shaped front grille on the front face is matched with the lower grille, which not only has the heavy feeling of American cars, but also adds the exquisite feeling of the whole car.

  The lines on the side of the car body are full, with the body length, width and height of 4981mm/1953mm/1732(1736)mm and the wheelbase of 2863mm, which makes the new car look very strong. In the rear part, the straight lines highlight the layering of the new car. The taillights also adopt Buick family design, and a chrome trim runs through the left and right, which is more in line with the more popular design at present.

SAIC-GM Buick Angke Banner 2020 28T Basic Model

  In terms of interior, the new car adopts asymmetric central control design with two-color interior color matching, which has a strong sense of fashion. The central control screen area is connected with the instrument, and ignition and some control buttons are set on the driver’s side. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a button shift mechanism, which is located on the panel in front of the driver’s right armrest, which is quite creative.

  In terms of configuration, the new car comes standard with a three-temperature independent air conditioner with PM 2.5 filtering function, and its second/third row seats are also equipped with an electric folding function. In addition, this medium and large SUV will also be equipped with the highest level mute technology of Buick Quiet Tuning and leading intelligent driving assistance technology and interconnection technology.

  In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine code-named LSY, with a maximum power of 169 kW (230 HP). In terms of transmission, the new car will match the 9-speed automatic manual transmission. According to the official disclosure of SAIC-GM Buick, Buick Angke Banner will be built based on GM’s medium and large luxury SUV architecture (GM C1 platform) and equipped with GM’s new generation drive system.

Editor’s summary:

  The products in the medium and large SUV market can be said to be very extensive, ranging from the million-level flagship of luxury brands to the big family products with joint venture brands of more than 200,000 and 300,000. As far as the joint venture brand reaches the level of medium and large SUV, it basically has the top-level design of the family pyramid in terms of face value, configuration, space and power. For Angke Banner, its appearance can be said to give the Buick family a new flagship product, and it also has the function of enriching the family product pedigree.

  From the market environment, Angke Banner will first face the challenges of Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Touron after listing. As hot products in the market, these two cars are well-balanced in all aspects and have a good market reputation. We will wait and see whether Angke Banner can compete with Highlander and Touron with sufficient product strength.


● Changan Peugeot Citroen DS 9/DS 9 PHEV models

  As the flagship model of Changan Peugeot Citroen DS, Changan Peugeot Citroen DS 9 and DS 9 PHEV will be officially launched at this Guangzhou Auto Show. From the appearance point of view, the DS brand, which is particularly willing to "work hard" in styling, is naturally worth mentioning.

『DS 9 PHEV』

  DS 9 is positioned in a medium-sized car, which looks quite fashionable as a whole. The family-style headlight group with dot-matrix front grille makes the front face very recognizable. Viewed from the side, the body lines are smooth, and the roof lines from A-pillar to C-pillar are designed to gradually sink, which seems to have a sense of diving. On the tail side, the new car is equipped with a duckling tail rear spoiler, which shows its sporty temperament. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4933mm/1855mm/1468mm and the wheelbase is 2895mm respectively. At the same time, the new car also offers six different styles of rims to choose from.

Home of the car

  In terms of interior, according to the spy photos of the previous test car, the overall interior of the new car is mainly black, and chrome-plated elements are added to the central control trim panel and the center console for embellishment, which has greatly improved the overall texture of the new car. In addition, the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is matched with a large-size central control panel and an electronic gear lever. These configurations are undoubtedly to enhance the overall sense of grade and win the favor of more consumers who pay attention to quality and detail.

  In terms of power, according to the previous application information, the PHEV version will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system based on a 1.6T engine, and the maximum power of the gasoline engine is 200 HP. More data needs further official disclosure, and the fuel version is expected to use the same engine.

Editor’s summary:

  Although the performance of DS in the domestic market is not very prosperous, with the marriage of FCA and PSA, it may bring a new turn for DS. Therefore, the launch of DS 9 and DS 9 PHEV will be crucial. As the new flagship of the brand, from the perspective of new car prospects, both the same-level products from BBA and many hot-selling products from joint venture brands will be the challengers they need to face.

  It is worth noting that from the operation of DS brand dealers, not only the number has dropped significantly, but also some dealers only provide after-sales service. Therefore, in order to make more consumers pay the bill, DS brand should not only bring forth new products, but also improve the convenience of the whole life cycle of vehicles, including service and after-sales links.

"The picture is 2.0L gasoline version"

  GAC Toyota Wildlander’s declaration map has been previously published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The new car is a sister car of FAW Toyota’s brand-new RAV4, which is built on the GA-K platform of TNGA architecture (the same platform as Camry/Asia Dragon/lexus ES), and its Chinese name is expected to be "Willanda". As a sister car, the difference between Wildlander and RAV4 is basically the same as that of Honda CR-V and Honda Haoying, only the front and rear styling has been redesigned, but the body has not been significantly changed.

  At the front of the car, Wildlander adopts a long and narrow willow-shaped front LED headlight group, and the lower air intake area is huge. The lower part of the split design is easy to remind people of Lexus spindle-shaped grille. On both sides of the front enclosure, the new car is also equipped with a large-size imitation opening design with built-in round fog lights. In addition, the Toyota brand LOGO of the dual-engine model incorporates blue elements, and the front fender also incorporates the HYBRID logo.

  Wildlander’s tail has also undergone great changes. The taillights arranged horizontally are slender in shape, with C-shaped light strips and C-shaped chrome strips inside, and the central black decorative board connects the lights on both sides. In the rear part, the new car uses a large area of black material for color separation, which looks more heavy. In addition, both the twin-engine model and the fuel model use two exhaust ports in both sides. In terms of size, Wildlander has a length, width and height of 4665/1855/1680mm and a wheelbase of 2690mm. Among them, only the length of the car body is slightly increased by 65mm due to the change of the front and rear surrounding shapes, and the width, height and wheelbase are consistent with the new RAV4.

  In terms of power, the new car offers two power models: 2.0L fuel version and 2.5L twin-engine version.

In addition, both power models are available in two-wheel drive version and four-wheel drive version, in which the 2.0L four-wheel drive model adopts traditional mechanical four-wheel drive, and the 2.5L dual-engine four-wheel drive model adopts E-Four rear axle electric drive.

Editor’s comment:

  Yet we called and urged a thousand times before she started toward us’s new generation FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang was finally listed in October this year. Different from the past, GAC Toyota also launched its sister model-Wildlander based on this global car, and they will jointly compete in the joint venture compact SUV market like the Corolla/Lei Ling combination. However, almost at the same time, Guangqi Honda also launched the sister model of Dongfeng Honda CR-V-Haoying, which adopts a new design and is slightly better than CR-V in configuration, and will be listed at the end of this month. By then, the competition between RAV4 Rongfang and CR-V will be upgraded to "doubles", and consumers will naturally have more choices. We look forward to the day when two new cars are put on the market.

  SAIC Volkswagen has previously released a preview of its new MPV Viloran. This special MPV from China, which will be officially unveiled at Guangzhou Auto Show, will also become the first commercial MPV under SAIC Volkswagen, and its competitors directly lock in the SAIC-GM Buick GL8, which is also from the SAIC family.

  Combined with the preview and road test spy photos, we can see that the new car adopts the obvious family design of Volkswagen brand, and the LED headlights with huge banner chrome-plated middle net can easily remind us of Volkswagen Huiang and brand-new Passat. As an MPV, the side of the new car is not so brilliant, and the side sliding door is also an expected configuration. Viloran’s tail shape is more fashionable, and the horizontal chrome trim under the tail LOGO is very slim, which penetrates the taillights that are also horizontally arranged, and also echoes the imitation exhaust chrome decoration at the lower enclosure, subtly enhancing the sense of exquisiteness. In terms of details, the "380TSI" logo also indicates that the new car will be equipped with a high-power version of the 2.0T engine.

Home of the car

  Previously, spy photos showed that the Viloran test car adopted a center console design that was almost the same as that of SAIC Volkswagen Touran. However, considering that they are similar in size and both are MQB platform products, it is very likely that the test vehicle temporarily borrowed the interior parts of Touran, and the final design and modeling still need to wait for the official announcement. In terms of power, it is expected that the new car will be equipped with 2.0T engines with different power versions, and the transmission system will also match the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Editor’s comment:

  Volkswagen has rich experience in manufacturing MPVs. Xia Lang, which was born in 1995, Touran, which was born in 2003, or the Volkswagen Transporter family (including Maitewei/Kailuwei, etc.) which has undergone changes for nearly 70 years are all classic models of Volkswagen in the field of household MPVs and light commercial buses. Combined with the flexibility of MQB platform, Viloran will also use a large number of mature parts from Touran, so the product strength foundation of the new car is still guaranteed.

  As for competitors, Buick GL8/GL8 Avenir has undoubtedly become Viloran’s "primary target". As a brand-new model, there is a Volkswagen brand endorsement, and the editor thinks that Viloran’s chances of winning are also great. In addition, regarding the Chinese name of the new car, Volkswagen has registered the trademark "Wei Ang" before. Combined with the fact that the flagship SUV of SAIC-Volkswagen Touran and the flagship car Hui ‘ang both end with the word "Ang", we expect that it is still very likely that this car will eventually be named "Wei ‘ang". Let’s look forward to the new melee in the MPV field!


● New Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GS4

Editor’s comment:

  As a compact SUV of China brand, the new Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GS4 will face great market competition pressure in the future. It is precisely because of this that it is very important whether a car has high value and excellent strength, and from the actual situation, the new GS4 also takes care of both. The new car after the replacement adopts the latest family-style design language, and its overall appearance is smoother and more fashionable than the previous generation. At the same time, the interior of the new car has also been upgraded. Two 12.3-inch instruments and the central control screen have brought a better operating experience, and its rich configuration is also a guarantee for the strength of the new car. Therefore, we can see that in the highly competitive compact SUV market, if the new GS4 can be priced reasonably, its sales will perform well in the future.


● Changan Ford Escape

  On April 3, 2019, Changan Ford Escape was officially launched, which is the first model under the Ford China 2.0 strategy. The new car is a domestic version of the overseas version of the new generation of Mavericks, named from the American version, and also to distinguish it from the European version of the model name "Kuga" used by the current domestic Mavericks. Of course, it is not difficult to guess that Escape will be sold together with maverick. In the future, the new car will be available in three styles: Titanium High Edition, ST-Line Sports Suite Edition and Escape Vignale Deluxe Edition with China’s front face.

Editor’s comment:

  Changan Ford Escape is the "leading" product of Ford China 2.0 strategy, and its performance after listing will directly guide the strategy. First of all, the new car specially designed a set of appearance scheme for consumers in China market, and at the same time provided original design options, so it can be said that it came with enough sincerity. Of course, in the current domestic market, compact SUV, as one of the largest markets, can be said to be a scene of hundreds of battles. Although Changan Ford Escape is paved by a maverick, it is not easy to draw a conclusion. At the same time, in the future, two cars will be sold together, and Changan Ford should guard against internal friction.

With the silver diffuser at the bottom, the rear of the car is enhanced with some sporty atmosphere.

Editor’s comment:

  As a new energy vehicle of compact SUV, the exterior and interior styling style of MG eHS is really fashionable, which can attract the attention of young consumers. At the same time, its rich technology configuration has greatly improved the "playability" of the whole vehicle. This is also very pleasing to the young people who don’t leave their smartphones today. At the same time, the comprehensive powertrain with 251 horsepower can also meet the demand of some consumers for power. In addition, the car will be sold to Europe in the future, which can further strengthen the brand tonality of the car. Generally speaking, this car is a model with excellent comprehensive performance at present, and we have reason to expect that the new car will achieve good results after it is listed in the future.

Editor’s comment:

  Tengshi brand launched its first model, Tengshi, on September 26th, 2014. After that, there was not much action in terms of products. Although this model has good product strength, the popularity of Tengshi brand gradually declined because the subsequent models did not keep up in time. According to public data, Tengshi has lost more than 3.5 billion yuan in the past five years, with an average annual loss of 700 million yuan. Due to various factors such as single model, Tengshi’s annual sales volume is only a few thousand, and Tengshi’s sales volume is also declining. In 2018, Tengshi only sold 1,974 vehicles, down 58.12% year-on-year. The financial report released by BYD shows that in the first quarter of this year, Tengshi’s operating income was 35 million yuan and its net profit was-44 million yuan.

  Due to poor performance, Tengshi has been surviving by "blood transfusion" from both shareholders. From 2012 to 2018, BYD and Daimler increased their capital by 450 million yuan, 150 million yuan, 280 million yuan, 500 million yuan and 400 million yuan respectively. At present, Daimler and BYD have increased their capital for Tengshi seven times, and the total capital increase has exceeded 4 billion yuan. However, after July 1st this year, Daimler put Tengshi automobile sales system under its control, and took advantage of Mercedes-Benz’s domestic sales channels to open the market for Tengshi automobile. Coupled with the "timely" follow-up of Tengshi X, Tengshi seems to find a breakthrough. Compared with Tengshi models on sale, Tengshi X no longer only pursues pure electricity in one direction, but enhances the competitiveness of products in many aspects.

Editor’s comment:

  In 2019, luxury brands concentrated their efforts in the mid-size car market-BMW launched the domestic 3 Series model, Audi launched the A4 modified model, Cadillac launched the CT4 and CT5. Of course, Volvo is also a part of it. The launch of the brand-new domestic S60 model is eye-catching: the new car adopts a brand-new family-style design style that is consistent with overseas models. Although the overall shape is simpler, the sense of movement is more prominent. However, it must be said that the situation Volvo S60 will face in the luxury brand mid-size car market in the future is also very severe. Both the BMW 3 Series with outstanding product strength and A4L and mercedes benz c Class with deep "mass base" pose no small threat to the new car. At the same time, as the second echelon of luxury brands, S60 has to face the attack of models such as Cadillac CT4/CT5, so the future market performance of the new car depends on its pricing.
