Since its listing in mid-September, the sales performance of AITO’s new M7 has been rising steadily. According to the latest news, the new M7 in AITO has accumulated over 50,000 vehicles in 25 days. Behind the explosion of AITO’s new M7 in the market, it is not only the user’s recognition and trust in AITO’s cross-border business, but also another stage victory in the cross-border business cooperation between Celestial Automobile and Huawei, and the continuous deepening and efficient cooperation between the two sides has reached a higher level.

　　In February this year, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of terminal business and CEO of BU, a smart car solution, said in an exclusive interview with the media that under the mode of intelligent selection, Cyrus, which has the earliest cooperation with Huawei, the deepest accumulation and the richest product models, must benefit the most. Now it seems that the fiery sales data undoubtedly confirms the success of the smart car selection model, and also provides the industry with the best model for cross-border cooperation to achieve commercial landing. As the benchmark of intelligent car selection mode, the strong strength and toughness shown by Sailis Automobile in cooperation will also promote the two sides to continue to make new breakthroughs in future cooperation.

　　Relying on the 20 years’ experience in building cars and the strength of the whole vehicle, and Huawei’s core technology empowerment in the ICT field, the 100,000 th AITO rolled off the assembly line at the end of May this year, becoming the first new energy automobile brand to reach this milestone; In June, AITO’s M5 Smart Driving Edition was delivered nationwide, taking the lead in realizing high-speed and high-order intelligent driving function in urban areas without relying on high-precision maps, bringing an infinitely high-order intelligent driving experience close to L3. In September, the heavily upgraded AITO new M7 series was highly sought after as soon as it went on the market. As a luxury intelligent driving medium and large SUV with great wisdom, large space and super safety, the new M7 series brought consumers a brand-new travel experience. In addition, AITO Jiejie M9 will also be released in December, further consolidating the first-Mover advantage of AITO Jiejie series of intelligent products.

　　From being "looked down upon" to "unable to understand" and then "unable to catch up", the AITO series of new energy automobile products jointly designed by Celeste Automobile and Huawei have done the right thing in the right direction from the initial "lone brave" to the current frequent refreshing of industry records and being well received by the market and users.

　　Yu Chengdong once said that the car companies that Huawei cooperates closely with will take the lead in making profits in one or two years, and will become one of the most profitable car companies in China. With the excellent product matrix of AITO and the accelerated landing of new cars, it will continue to promote the sustainable growth of Cyrus’ performance and establish a solid moat in the highly competitive new energy vehicle market.

Wei Jianjun is about to regain the richest man in the car circle with an IPO of 60 billion yuan, but with Geely’s fifth IPO, Li Shufu will overtake in the corner again.

As of the close of November 24th, Geely Automobile ranked 31st in the market value ranking of global car companies with a market value of HK$ 100.067 billion. In contrast, BYD ranked fourth and Great Wall Motor ranked 14th. Even Wei Lai and LI, the new forces making cars, ranked 21st and 24th respectively.

Although the market value is "tepid", the enthusiasm of Geely brand to embrace the capital market has never subsided. Last year, Volvo Cars was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in Sweden. In June this year, Polar Star Motor was listed on NASDAQ. And Li Shufu’s Yikatong Technology will soon go public in the United States.

Soon, Geely’s fifth IPO will come again-on October 31st, Geely Automobile announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the company had submitted a proposal to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the 15th application guideline, which suggested splitting Krypton and listing it independently.

Different from the previous low-key financing, as Geely’s "pro-son", he is desperately drawing a "pie" to the capital market.

On November 17, the customized Robotaxi car built by Krypton for Waymo (Google’s autonomous driving company) was officially unveiled in Los Angeles, USA. It is based on the Krypton M-Vision concept car and will be mass-produced in 2024-which means that the Krypton products will land in the United States in 2024.

At this point, Krypton has obtained the cooperation of three American companies, Google, NVIDIA and Mobileye, in the field of autonomous driving. Such a partner lineup, even European and American multinational car companies, is far behind.

R&D bundled American technology companies and products exported to the American market, and the "one-year-old" pole rushed to the IPO.

The first step of krypton is to take a detour. In September, 2020, the joint venture brand of Geely and Volvo, Lingke Auto, officially released the first pure electric luxury coupe concept car-Lingke ZERO concept, which is also the predecessor of the first model of the brand, Jike 001.

Originally, Geely intended to incubate pure electric vehicles within the system of joint venture brand Linke. But in the end, Geely decided to take out the polar list and make a brand-new independent brand. In March, 2021, Geely Automobile and Geely Holding Group jointly invested and established the brand Krypton, with a total investment of RMB 2 billion.

The birth of krypton, the more important task is to make up for Geely’s shortcomings in the new energy vehicle market.

In 2015, Geely announced its aggressive entry into the new energy field and released the "Blue Geely Action Plan". The goal is that by 2020, the sales of new energy vehicles will account for more than 90% of Geely’s overall sales–but the result is that Geely’s new energy vehicles will only account for 5% of the total sales in 2020, and the Blue Geely Action Plan will fail.

Due to the sloppy first time and the late admission time, Krypton is in an obvious backward state in terms of product richness and channel coverage.

At present, only two models, Extreme Krypton 001 and Extreme Krypton 009, are on sale. Not long ago, the cumulative delivery of Krypton 001 just exceeded 55,000 vehicles. In terms of channels, as of the third quarter of 2022, there were only 169 stores. Judging from the volume, the current extreme krypton can only wrestle with the new forces that build cars.

However, the "direct competitor" faced by Krypton is no longer this volume.

Aside from BYD, which can sell 200,000 vehicles a month, GAC Ai ‘an, which competes for the "first share" with Krypton, has long been far ahead in terms of market size. In October, Ai ‘an once again exceeded the monthly sales of 30,000 vehicles. From January to October, the cumulative delivery volume of Ai ‘an was 210,000 vehicles, fulfilling the annual sales target of 200,000 vehicles ahead of schedule.

It is no wonder that the popularity of Ai ‘an in the capital market far exceeds that of Krypton.

On October 20th, GAC Ai ‘an completed the Series A financing of up to 18.294 billion yuan-the largest financing in the field of vehicle in 2022, and the largest single private financing in the domestic new energy vehicle industry in recent years, and 53 investors in a single round of financing also created the largest number of new energy vehicle enterprises.

In terms of valuation, Ai ‘an has created the highest post-investment valuation of domestic unlisted new energy vehicle companies of 103.239 billion yuan. You know, the market value of Guangzhou Automobile Group is only over 100 billion. According to the current sales growth and the launch of new products, it is very likely that Ai ‘an will build another Guangzhou Automobile Group.

Since we can’t compete with sales, we simply gave up the middle and high-end Red Sea market. Directly entered the high-end car market, and tried to convince the capital market with brand power and product power.

The first task of Krypton is indeed to help Geely get rid of the cheap label.

The former "top three independent brands" were Geely, Great Wall Motor and BYD. In the era of fuel vehicles, BYD has the worst market size and revenue capacity.

But now the pattern is completely reversed. In the first half of this year, BYD increased the average bicycle price by 170,000 yuan by relying on the hot sale of high-end new energy vehicles. In the same period, the average selling price of the Great Wall was 121,200 yuan, while the average bicycle price of Geely was only 102,000 yuan-the last of the three independent brands. Even the Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an, which started from the network car, broke through the average product price of 180,000 yuan in September.

Krypton 001, the first car of Krypton brand, is positioned as a "luxury hunting coupe". However, the starting price of this car is 299,000 yuan, which is far from the luxury car. Even the high-end car is slightly reluctant-the high-end model defined by the Association must start at more than 300,000 yuan.

Extreme Krypton 001 Source: Extreme Krypton official website

This pricing strategy is mainly for the convenience of Krypton 001 to meet the price threshold requirements of state subsidies, so the minimum model is set below 300,000 yuan. Even with this explanation, the average large order amount of Extreme Krypton 001 is only 336,000 yuan, which is lower than the average bicycle price of 430,000 yuan from Weilai.

When the second car was launched, Krypton did not choose to lower the price in exchange for a larger market scale. Instead, we will continue to launch a higher-priced MPV model, Extreme Krypton 009, with a price range of 499,000-588,000 yuan. The price of nearly 600,000 yuan is an unprecedented height of Geely in its own brand.

However, it is worth noting that the so-called high-end of Krypton 009 is more like a high-end that is forced to help.

Because in the high-end version of Krypton 009, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited CTP3.0 Kirin battery was first equipped, and the capacity of this battery pack reached an astonishing 140kWh. Even with the low version, the battery pack capacity has reached 116kWh. According to the current cost price of power battery, the cost of battery pack for low version alone is as high as 150,000 yuan, and that for high version is as high as 182,000 yuan, accounting for 30% of the total car price.

Of course, this does not consider the hidden cost behind the initial mass production of Kirin battery.

In fact, putting heavy and expensive batteries on pure electric MPV models is a rather aggressive attempt. Because pure electric MPV, compared with hybrid and fuel vehicles, has the advantage of better space utilization and certain improvement in driving comfort. However, the original MPV has a large space, and the relative space optimization will not be too obvious. The improvement of driving comfort is difficult to quantify and make users feel.

On the contrary, the shortcomings of pure electric MPV models are very obvious, one is the cruising range, and the other is the convenience of recharging. Judging from the existing scheme, Krypton adopts the "old method" of stacking batteries to improve battery life. But a larger capacity battery means a longer charging time.

In the propaganda copy, Krypton only mentioned the charging time of 140kWh battery pack-10% to 80% takes 28 minutes. The 140kWh Kirin battery takes longer. According to the feedback from the previous owners of 100kWh Krypton 001, it takes 2 hours to fill it normally from 0%. The charging time of krypton 009 with larger capacity battery will be a very big problem.

Extreme Krypton 009 Source: Extreme Krypton official website

You know, the MPV is either a leader or a family member. It is obviously an unpleasant thing to wait with them in the charging station for an hour or two. Especially when you are on a high-speed road, you have to grab charging piles with hundreds of thousands of other electric vehicles, which is extremely inconsistent with the luxury positioning.

Of course, the Krypton brand has no intention of taking measures at this stage.

"I still insist on not doing things on the premise of pursuing sales." Jason Lin, vice president of Krypton Intelligent Technology, said in an interview that Krypton is not pursuing pure high-priced cars, but building the best cars in market segments with creative value to satisfy that market. He also said: "to meet the high-end, it is not the amount of money to measure the high-end, but whether you can represent the most important products in that market."

Perhaps Krypton 009 can convince some consumers, but it is difficult to convince the capital market.

The reason why Krypton can go today is entirely due to Geely’s "selfless dedication".

In September, 2020, Geely Automobile delivered the watch in science and technology innovation board, and successfully held the meeting that month. At that time, Geely’s new story to the capital market was the high-end pure electric product line.

However, with the adjustment of policies and the reorganization of Krypton brand, Geely made a major decision-Geely Automobile withdrew its IPO application in science and technology innovation board in June 2021, and announced that the board of directors of Krypton Intelligent Technology had decided to explore different external financing schemes for the sustainable development of Krypton Intelligent Technology.

Last August, an undelivered Krypton received $500 million investment from ecological partners such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Billie Billie and Intel Capital in the Pre-A round of financing, corresponding to 5.6% of the shares. According to this calculation, the post-investment valuation of Krypton is close to 60 billion yuan.

It is also possible to double the valuation of krypton if we add the delivery results in the past year or so. However, can this brand really be valued at nearly 100 billion?

Theoretically, the valuation reflects each investor’s expectation of the company’s growth. For car companies, raising the valuation is nothing more than doing three things well: sales volume, core technology and brand value.

As far as the core technology is concerned, krypton is far from any imagination at present. In the two intelligent fields, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, there is no full-stack self-research capability, but it relies on mature suppliers to complete the push-intelligent driving, which is handed over to Mobileye；, an autonomous driving technology company owned by Intel; The smart cockpit is taken over by Geely’s Yikatong Technology.

For example, Krypton 001′ s intelligent driving system uses two Mobileye EyeQ5H chips, which is said to be equipped with Mobileye’s SuperVision system, which can support point-to-point assisted driving under various road conditions, such as highways, urban trunk roads, rural roads and urban roads.

However, after more than a year of delivery, even the high-speed navigation assisted driving function has not been realized, let alone the urban assisted driving function that will be launched later. In terms of intelligent driving function, Krypton is not only a generation behind Tesla, but also inferior to Geely’s "old rival" Great Wall Motor (Great Wall’s Mimo Zhixing has achieved high-level assisted driving in the city).

Extremely krypton’s partner in intelligent driving, Intel’s Mobileye, is a famous "black factory" in the automobile industry. In the early days, Tesla and Mobileye broke up because the car companies provided by Mobileye were closed black box solutions. Car companies not only could not modify the algorithms, but also could not share vehicle data with Mobileye.

Li Xiang, CEO of LI, who has always been in honest and frank, has publicly announced the reason for stopping cooperation with Mobileye-because it can’t meet the full-stack self-research needs of our intelligent driving (the most important sensing algorithm is the black box). In addition, the ET7 model has been selected and turned to the NVIDIA Orin chip platform with relatively higher "openness", and the development mode of full-stack self-developed software has been adopted.

In order to create a marketing momentum, Krypton announced that it would become the first automobile brand to use NVIDIA Thor chip, and at the same time, self-developed software based on this chip was carried out. (Thor is the latest chip released by NVIDIA this year. As the successor of Orin, the computing power of a single chip has increased by 8 times to an amazing 2000TOPS).

Originally, everyone thought that Extreme Krypton 009 would make a breakthrough in intelligent driving ability, but in fact, it is a ready-made solution from the bottom chip to the software definition. Previously, all kinds of marketing methods were just "painting cakes" again and again.

In terms of smart cockpit, Krypton also chose to "lie flat" in front of suppliers.

The cockpit of Krypton 001 is based on the whole case plan of Yanfeng Visteon. The so-called "full-case scheme" means that Visteon will provide a complete set of hardware and underlying software development completely according to the product definition and requirements of OEM, and complete the final overall integration work. Basically, it is equivalent to what we often call "outsourcing".

However, due to the limitation of research and development cycle and vehicle cost, the early Krypton 001 was inevitably limited in software and hardware architecture and performance. At that time, the most common problem of the first batch of users was that the car was stuck. In desperation, Krypton had to announce that it would replace the 8155 cockpit chip for the owner free of charge.

On the second model, Krypton 009, the whole project of Yanfeng Visteon was abandoned, but the underlying R&D capability of the entire cockpit was also supported by suppliers. Only this time it was replaced by Geely’s cockpit supplier-Yikatong Technology.

Since its inception in 2017, Yikatong’s main business scope is to integrate multimedia information digital entertainment systems for Geely Automobile. The company’s actual controller and ultimate beneficiary are Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Group. At present, almost all of the 12 OEM customers of Yikatong are brands owned by Li Shufu or Geely. For example, Mercedes-Benz, smart, Lotus, and the protagonist of this article-Krypton.

In order to cover up the fact that the intelligent cockpit is "not self-developed", Extreme Krypton brand didn’t mention anything about the "brother enterprise" Yikatong Technology when promoting its products.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the new brand relying on the advantages of shareholders to grow and develop. Cooperation with suppliers can not only greatly reduce R&D investment, but also quickly adjust in the initial trial and error stage. It’s no wonder that Krypton achieved a positive gross profit margin just after it was delivered for more than a year.

An Conghui, CEO of Krypton Intelligent Technology, revealed in an interview that the gross profit margin of Krypton vehicles reached about 5% in the first half of this year. On the basis of delivering 50,000 vehicles in the second half of this year, the gross profit level will be further improved, and the second model, Krypton 009, will have a better gross profit level.

We should know that Wei Xiaoli, a new car-making force, has been "selling one car at a loss" for a long time, and in the end, all of them were listed on the market with blood and ventured ashore. With the continuous improvement of profitability in the past two years, the gross profit margin of "Wei Xiaoli" has gradually changed from negative to positive.

Of course, krypton’s loss was only transferred to Geely. According to the financial report, in the first half of 2022, Geely’s net profit returned to its mother fell by 35% year-on-year to 1.552 billion yuan, the lowest level in five years. Regarding the decline in profits, Geely made it clear that share-based payment and extreme investment have a great impact on profits. In the first half of the year, share-based expenses led to a decrease of 853 million yuan in profits, and extremely bad losses led to a decrease of 406 million yuan in Geely’s profits.

In this way, due to the "outsourcing" of R&D, Krypton’s financial statements will be quite beautiful-this is undoubtedly the biggest bargaining chip for science and technology innovation board. Therefore, among these newly established independent brands, Krypton is not necessarily the one with the strongest technical strength, but it is likely to be the "most profitable" one.

Easy car original:On the evening of April 7th, BYD launched four new energy vehicles, BYD, Tang EV and e2, at the new car launch conference. Among them, Qin PLUS EV made its first public appearance as a pure electric model of Qin PLUS DM-i, and its manufacturer’s guide price range was 129,800-166,800 yuan. In addition, the appearance of the new car adopts BYD family-style design and will be equipped withBlade battery,NEDC cruising range can reach 600km.,The acceleration time of 0-50km/h is only 4 seconds.There are many highlights.

Overview of highlights of Qin PLUSEV’s new car;

1. The price range of Qin PLUS EV is12.98-16.68 million yuan, a total of ultra-long battery life flagship, long battery life distinguished, long battery life luxury, standard battery life luxury.4 configurationsOptional.

2, Qin PLUS EV appearanceAdopt closed grille design., overall modelingSimilar to.

3. Qin PLUS EV is equipped with BYD’s latestBlade battery,NEDC has a cruising range of up to 600km.. electrical machineryThe maximum power is 135kW.0-50km/h acceleration time is 4S.

In terms of power, the maximum power and torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motor equipped on the top model of Qin PLUS EV are 135kW, 280N·m, and its 0-50km/h acceleration time is 4 seconds. The maximum power and torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motors equipped on the other three middle and low models are 100kW, 180N·m, and the 0-50km/h acceleration time is 5.5 seconds.

Qin PLUS EV is equipped with the latest blade battery with a battery capacity of 71.7kWh and an energy density of 140Wh/kg. In addition to Qin PLUS EV, all BYD electric vehicles will be equipped with blade batteries. Blade battery has the advantages of high safety, high strength, long life and strong temperature control, which can bring a safer travel experience.

In terms of battery life, the official said that its comprehensive power consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 12.9kWh/100km, and the comprehensive mileage of the flagship NEDC with long battery life can reach 600km, leading the same class.

You know, BYD’s flagship pure electric vehicle Han EV has a longest cruising range of only 605km, which is almost flush with Qin PLUS EV. Compared with the current Qin Pro EV with a maximum battery life of 520km, the progress is also obvious.

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

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

The front face adopts the unique closed grille design of EV model, which distinguishes it from Qin PLUS DM-I.. The lower enclosing area is outlined by black decorative strips that run horizontally, which enhances the visual width of the front face.

Arrow-feather LED headlights are blackened. In addition, the middle and high models also have intelligent far and near light function, which is relatively rare in this price model.

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

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Qin PLUS EV are 4765/1837/1515mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2715mm. Compared with Qin PLUS DM-i, the height is only increased by 20 mm.

The real shot model is equipped with 17-inch silver-black two-color aluminum alloy wheels, which is full of sports. To match this,AtlasTire, size 215/55 R17. The top model will be equipped with 18-inch wheels.

The charging interface of Qin PLUS EV is located on the right side of the rear of the car, and the fast charging and slow charging interfaces are designed together like Qin PLUS DM-i, in which the fast charging takes only 30 minutes from 30% to 80%.

The sleek and full tail design is also not much different from Qin PLUS DM-i, and the multi-line outline makes the tail layered.After blackening, the penetrating LED taillights still maintain a good visual effect after lighting. The duckling tail design is matched with the latest font suffix of "Build Your Dreams", which has high recognition.

The interior design of Qin PLUS EV also adopts the same design elements as Qin PLUS DM-i, and the embracing cockpit design is matched with the suspended central control large screen, which highlights the scientific and technological atmosphere of the cockpit.

The interior is gray and white, and the central control area is outlined by irregular silver trim strips. With the piano paint panel, it maintains a certain sense of texture and high quality.

12.8-inch adaptive rotating suspended central control large screen, equipped with DiLink 3.0 Zhilian system. Can play WeChat, Tik Tok and various small games, and support intelligent voice interaction, with high playability.

Compared with Qin PLUS DM-i, the instrument panel has an embedded design. Although it can also be called full LCD instrument panel, its size is a little too small. However, it is reported that the "racing-class dashboard" can be installed in all departments, and it is estimated that the size will be improved. As for the specific appearance, it is still unclear for the time being.

Some physical buttons, including keyless start, electronic parking, air conditioning switch and other physical buttons, are reserved in the position of the gear handle, which is convenient for blind operation while driving.

In terms of configuration, Qin PLUS EV is equipped with keyless entry/start system, rearview mirror electric folding, automatic constant temperature air conditioning, car WIFI, remote control, wireless charging of mobile phone, NFC car key and other functional configurations, and the overall configuration is quite rich.

The safety configuration of Qin PLUS EV is also very rich. The middle and high-end models are equipped with full-speed ACC adaptive cruise, active braking, emergency braking auxiliary function, lane keeping, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition system, parallel assistance and blind area monitoring, which further improves the convenience and safety of car use.

Qin PLUS EV adopts an integrated seat design, which has a good wrapping.The whole system is equipped with a 6-way adjustable main driver’s seat, and the electric adjustment of the co-pilot’s seat is only available on the top model, and the top model is also equipped with the heating function of the front and rear seats. The spatial performance is basically consistent with Qin PLUS DM-i, which is enough to meet the daily use needs.

Summary:From the static experience alone, the strength of Qin PLUS EV is still worthy of recognition. The price starts from 129,800 yuan, equipped with a safer blade battery, a comprehensive cruising range of 600km, and an acceleration of 4s from 0 to 50 km, plus its high-value design.Qin PLUS EV is undoubtedly attractive enough.

However, how does it perform when driving, and how much discount will the real cruising range be? I believe these are also of great concern to everyone. If there is an opportunity to test drive Qin PLUS EV later, we will bring you a detailed test drive experience and measure its cruising range data. Interested friends can pay attention to Easy Car and me, and will bring you more information about Qin PLUS EV later.

SUV, the full name of Sports Utility Vehicle in English, means "sports utility vehicle". Split it up, "sports", I think at least the motivation should be sufficient, and the steering should be smart to prove the characteristics of sports; "Multifunctional", I think there are two meanings here, which are outside the car and inside the car. The first meaning means that the car must be widely used, that is, it can carry people and goods, which means "outside the car"; Another layer of meaning is that the configuration of the vehicle should be rich enough, with many functions, and it should make people feel comfortable and convenient to use, which means "inside the car" here.

If a car meets the above points, then I think it can be called a real SUV, and the Tiggo 8 with a price of just over 80 thousand can meet the above requirements.

NO.1 big heart that can do whatever it wants

Tiggo 8 is equipped with a 1.6TGDI in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine, which has super power and won the title of "Top Ten Engines of China Heart". This engine also adopts a series of advanced technologies, such as aluminum alloy cylinder head, "fish belly" inlet design and Masking combustion chamber. The maximum power is 145KW and the maximum torque is 290 N m. It is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, and the fuel consumption is 7.4L per 100 kilometers in 8.9S, which is comparable to that of the joint venture brand 2.0T engine.

In addition, manufacturers provide lifetime warranty service for all engines, which is the first in the automobile industry. I think only companies with excellent strength and absolute confidence in their products dare to make such a commitment. After all, everyone’s car environment is different. China has a vast territory, and cars can’t live without it except on ordinary urban roads, such as plateaus, cold and high temperatures. Therefore, from this perspective, I really admire the brand Chery, which makes the engine, the "heart" of the three major cars, be "reckless" in the hands of users.

NO.2 standard chassis layout tires are very kind.

The chassis structure of the Tiggo 8 is a multi-link structure before McPherson, which belongs to the standard chassis structure style. It not only improves the stability of the vehicle, but also optimizes the space layout inside the vehicle reasonably, and the ground clearance of the chassis is also very high, not to mention passing some unpaved roads or even light off-road.

In terms of tires, the flagship model is equipped with UC6 SUV tires from German brands, and tyre size has 235/50/R19 tires. This tire is a set of tires specially developed for Asian countries, especially for users in China. You can interpret it as "specially supplied by China" or "specially customized for users in China".

This tire not only has the ability to grip the wet road in rainy days, but also provides additional mute and comfort performance, and takes care of the passengers’ hearing and tactile feelings as much as possible under the premise of ensuring the safety of users. The author found that these four tires are worth nearly 5,000 yuan, which is a rare good tire, and it is enough to show that Chery really lost money this time!

NO.3, many people ride hard currency, and the trunk volume is amazing.

In terms of loading capacity, the Tiggo 8 is even better. The whole department provides three seat versions of 5/6/7 seats, totaling 20 models, which can meet the diverse needs of users. You know, at this price, many cars don’t have so many versions to choose from, let alone six or seven seats. For example, Great Wall H6 and Geely Bo Yue have only five versions, and the starting price is higher than that of Tiggo 8. The starting price of Geely Bo Yue is 89,800, while the starting price of Great Wall H6 is as high as 98,000. What is the starting price of Tiggo 8? Tiggo 8 is only 88,800, and 6-seat and 7-seat models are available.

In many places, especially in remote places, a family travels by such a car. Sometimes an extra seat means that the family can take fewer miles of mountain roads or go out with the big guys without staying at home. In this case, 6 seats and 7 seats are just needed, that is, "hard currency", and there are no conditions to talk about. This is more practical than installing an ambient light and a well-known brand stereo in the car. This is not to say that these functions are not good, but that for users at this price, we need to consider the problem from reality when designing products.

If you don’t have a rigid demand for multi-person ride (more than 5 people), then you can choose the 5-seat version. At this time, the luggage volume is 889 liters. After the second row of seats is folded down, you can even get a loading volume of nearly 2000 liters. What is the concept? Two household single-door refrigerators can be put in, which is bigger than the trunk of Geely Bo Yue. If you have a rigid demand for multi-person riding, you can choose a 6-seat or 7-seat version. The second row of seats supports forward and backward movement and seat electric heating function, and the third row is also equipped with independent air conditioning, independent air outlet and independent headrest.

NO.4 simple headrest shows the concern and awe of enterprises for users’ lives.

Here, I want to talk about the configuration of the independent headrest in the third row. Many seats in the third row of 7-seat SUVs are not equipped with headrest at all. I don’t know why. Is it to imitate the big sofas of those old American cars? The importance of headrest is self-evident. Imagine that when a car has a big collision before and after or the driver takes emergency braking, the occupants in the car will move back and forth with inertia under the condition of external force. At this moment, if there is no safety headrest above our seat, it is very likely that there will be no soft support at the back of the head when rebounding, which will lead to stress injury to the cervical spine. In severe cases, fractures may occur to compress the cervical nerves and lead to paralysis of the lower body.

Therefore, I think that all vehicles, no matter how many seats, must be equipped with safety headrests. The function of safety headrests is to protect the heads of the members in the seats in an emergency, but only if the seat belts are fastened. Then it can be seen from this small detail that Chery has always put the life safety of the occupants in the car in the first place.

NO.5 C-NCAP five-star safety certification rating

By the way, Tiggo 8 won the C-NCAP five-star safety certification rating with high scores, and was strictly designed with reference to the 2018 version of C-NCAP five-star safety standards at the beginning of development. Tiggo 8 also uses six luxury car-grade high-strength hot-formed steel bars from Bentele, and selects a high-strength one-piece cage body, which ensures everyone’s travel safety to the maximum extent. In this respect, it needs to be praised by Chery manufacturers.

The leapfrog configuration of NO.6 reflects science and technology and Zhilian everywhere.

Next, let’s take a look at what highlights the Tiggo 8 has. The first is the luxury of technology. Tiggo 8 is equipped with a 12.3-inch Zhilian multifunctional full-screen LCD instrument, two central control LCD digital displays, and supports three-screen interactive functions; The stepless color-changing temperament atmosphere lamp can realize color and light and shade changes with the fluctuation of temperament and the level of audio; The floating central control area is equipped with an electronic shift lever, which is comfortable and convenient, and also increases the storage space under the center console; Induction intelligent anti-pinch memory electric tailgate can realize remote control, induction control and voice control to open and close.

Super intelligent anti-pinch panoramic skylight, lying in the car and looking at the starry sky is a very pleasant thing; A 360 bird’s-eye panoramic ultra-clear reversing image is not impossible; CN95-level vehicle air conditioning purification technology prevents bacteria and dust from entering the car and wireless charging of mobile phones.

In terms of driving assistance, the Tiggo 8 is equipped with the mainstream L2-level automatic driving assistance system, including the full-speed ACC adaptive cruise system, the AEB automatic emergency braking system, the RCTA traffic blind spot warning after reversing and the IHC intelligent far and near light control system.

In my opinion, these configurations are leapfrog. Compared with my Japanese B-class car, it feels like the product of two eras, so the Tiggo 8 has done a really good job in configuration.

Positioning of NO.7 medium-sized SUV pricing of compact SUV

Finally, let’s take a look at the relationship between it and H6 and Bo Yue. In fact, we can see from the positioning that Tiggo 8 is one level higher than H6 and Bo Yue. Tiggo 8 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with a length x width x height of 4700x1860x1746, while H6 and Bo Yue are positioned as compact SUVs, which are much smaller than Tiggo 8 in appearance and size, so theoretically they cannot form a competitive relationship, but why should I put them? The simple reason is that their prices are very close. As I said before, the starting price of Tiggo 8 is 88,800 yuan, while the starting prices of H6 and Bo Yue are 98,800 yuan and 89,800 yuan respectively, so it is reasonable to compare them.

Then in the case of close price, Tiggo 8 still has the advantage of 5/6/7-seat versions for users to choose from, while H6 and Bo Yue do not have this aspect; In addition, many advanced technologies are used in the core component engine, which makes the power and fuel consumption get a good balance, and Chery manufacturers also provide lifetime warranty; The standard SUV suspension structure is matched with the special tires of continental UC6 SUV with a value of nearly 5,000 yuan, which provides a more comfortable driving experience on the premise of ensuring maneuverability; In terms of space and flexibility, Tiggo 8 is also doing very well; We have done meticulous work in safety concept and safety equipment, and always take ensuring passenger safety as the greatest appeal; In terms of technology, intelligence and luxury configuration, it is even more leapfrog.

To sum up, I think Tiggo 8 is the conscience work of Chery Group. It combines our national conditions and national needs, and everything is based on reality to build a rare good car. Don’t forget, Academician Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, is the owner of the new generation of Tiggo 8.

In addition, the overseas sales of Tiggo 8 should not be underestimated. In January alone, the export volume reached nearly 3,000 units, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Uruguay, Ukraine, Chile and other countries around the world. To this end, Chery Group also specially designed a Brazilian version of the Tiggo 8, which is enough to see how strong a series of comprehensive products such as the shape of this car are. And the final conclusion of Tiggo 8 comparing H6 and Bo Yue, I think everyone who sees this place should have their own answers in their hearts.

????Tang EV Glory Edition, Tang DM-p Glory Edition /2024 Ares Edition were launched a few days ago. This series of vehicles with six different configurations are all equipped with Yunqi-C.

????It is understood that Yunqi -C is an intelligent damping body control system, which can adjust the damping by controlling the electromagnetic valve of the shock absorber to realize stepless adaptive adjustment of the damping. When the vehicle passes through the bumpy road, the comfort control strategy of high frequency and small damping is adopted to make the chassis "soft" and improve the driving comfort. When the vehicle is in rapid cornering, acceleration and braking, the maneuverability control strategy of low frequency and large damping is adopted to make the chassis "hard", provide greater support, restrain the body roll and pitch, and ensure the handling stability of the vehicle. Compared with the traditional passive suspension, Yunqi -C can improve the driving comfort of the vehicle, and at the same time take into account the handling of the vehicle.

????In terms of core technology, Tang DM-p Glory Edition /2024 Ares Edition is equipped with DM-p King Hybrid, which makes the new car accelerate as fast as 4.3s, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under comprehensive working conditions is as low as 6.5L. Tang EV Glory Edition is equipped with a blade battery. The two-wheel drive version has a pure electric cruising range of up to 730km. The four-wheel drive version is equipped with front and rear dual motors, and it has intelligent electric four-wheel drive, which can achieve zero acceleration of 4.4s Moreover, the new car can achieve a maximum of 170kW safe boost DC fast charging, and the longest battery life is 173km after charging for 10 minutes, which improves the energy charging efficiency.

????In terms of intelligent cabin, the new car fully upgrades the high-end version of intelligent cockpit -DiLink100, which is based on D100(6nm) chip and has a vehicle-class cockpit platform supporting 5G. In terms of intelligent driving, with the help of -DiPilot10, the new car can achieve L2+ intelligent driving assistance level, and has the functions of BSD blind spot monitoring, DOW door opening warning and so on.

????The new car continues the tradition of 6-or 7-seat large space base and Dragon Face front face, adding romantic mode, parking unlocking function, 3D real car color matching, plus convenient configurations such as 220V AC socket, 50W mobile phone wireless fast charging and 6kW mobile power station, which can comprehensively improve the car experience of family users.

In recent years, although the field of pure electric vehicles has made great progress, it has also been recognized by many consumers who value the cost of car use, but the pain of battery life has also discouraged some user groups. In this way, it can be said that plug-in hybrid vehicles have brought opportunities. The following small series takes BYD Tang (parameter picture) DM- i as an example, and deeply analyzes the advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles with you. What is the specific performance? Let’s take a look!

The 2021 BYD Tang DM-i on sale is divided into two versions: the 112KM distinguished model and the 112KM distinguished model, and the official guide price remains between 205,800 and 222,800 yuan. This test drive model: 2021 DM-i 1.5T 112KM distinguished model, with a price of 222,800.

For BYD Tang DM-i’s exterior design, after several optimization changes, the overall texture creation is quite good. The exquisite LED matrix headlamp combination makes it conform to the positioning and identity of the family flagship model.

On the side of the car body, the smooth and dynamic line design makes this BYD Tang DM-i have a sense of sight of a coupe SUV. The hidden B/C/D column and chrome-plated decorative strips are decorated with appropriate benefits, which also greatly enhances the side face value. This test drive model adopts 20-inch two-color five-spoke rim shape, which is consistent with the dynamic design theme of the side. On the design style and details of BYD Tang DM-i, there is basically no slot to speak of, which is more appetizing to mainstream consumers.

As for the rear part, BYD Tang DM-i is also a portrayal of dynamic fashion. The combination of penetrating taillights symbolized by BYD has high recognition after lighting at night. In addition, the thicker lower enclosure design and silver-white guard board also give this BYD Tang DM-i a hard-core side.

Turn around and sit in the car of BYD Tang DM-i, in which the layout of control may be familiar to everyone and the family style is obvious. The two-color steering wheel with suspension design and the 15.6-inch central control display screen with adaptive rotation have become the plus items of the interior cockpit. And in terms of interior materials, BYD Tang DM-i also has sufficient sincerity. In addition to covering the center console with a large area of soft materials, suede and piano paint are added to embellish the details, highlighting a strong high-end luxury atmosphere.

The full LCD dashboard is 12.3 inches in size. According to personal experience, the display effect is more delicate, and the driving information is more comprehensive. The 15.6-inch central control display screen has built-in DiLink 3.0 intelligent network connection system, and the UI design is relatively simple, the operation is relatively simple, and there is nothing wrong with the smoothness and sensitivity of the car. In addition, BYD Tang DM-i, which doesn’t take the usual road, also provides a K-song function, which can sing a song anytime and anywhere, and its playability is quite good.

In terms of seating space, BYD Tang DM-i adopts the conventional 7-seat layout. Thanks to the wheelbase of 2820mm, it has a spacious interior seating space. When the seat in the second row is adjusted to the front, there are more than two punches in the leg space. Even when it is fully loaded, sitting in the third row will not feel depressed and cramped. The interior of the trunk is relatively regular. When the rear two rows of seats are laid down, two adult males can easily lie down, and the carrying capacity is also well guaranteed.

In the power part, BYD Tang DM-i is equipped with a 1.5T engine, and the motor adopts a front-mounted single permanent magnet synchronous motor. The 21.5kWh lithium iron carbonate battery pack can provide a pure electric cruising range of 112KM. Byd Tang DM-i can be divided into various driving modes, which can be better applied to different car scenes. Although the acceleration of 8.5 seconds is not top-notch, it is not a problem to meet daily needs. The comprehensive fuel consumption under NEDC working condition is 5.5L/100km, and the fuel economy performance is quite excellent.

In terms of chassis suspension, BYD Tang DM-i is equipped with a front McPherson+rear multi-link independent suspension combination, which can be better resolved when Lu Yu bumps slightly, and it feels like riding on the ground when sitting in the car. When encountering a large potholed road surface, the shock absorption and filtration are also in place, and it will not be transferred to the car to shake too much.

On the whole, in the domestic new energy market, BYD belongs to the first-class independent brand, and many of its models have withstood the test of the market, including BYD Tang DM-i, the protagonist of this paper. The dynamic and exquisite appearance, luxurious interior without losing the sense of technology, coupled with relatively excellent mechanical quality, make it a reliable plug-in hybrid medium-sized SUV. In my opinion, if your car purchase budget is controlled within 250,000, and an SUV with strong practicality, good passability and low car cost is a hard requirement, BYD Tang DM-i is still more suitable.

Tomorrow is the first press conference of Xiaomi Automobile.

In the past week, Xiaomi continued to build momentum. This belated press conference attracted the attention of the whole industry. Everyone is expecting that Lei Jun can give a brand-new product that spans the industry.

However, this week’s intensive traffic is slightly crowded for the automobile industry. Huawei, the flagship SUV, went public on M9, and got on the high ground of public opinion first. As an old rival in the mobile phone industry, Huawei and Xiaomi met again in the automobile circle.

Extreme Krypton 007 and Extreme Fox Alpha T5 will also be listed tonight, and Tucki X9 will choose New Year’s Day Peak to announce the price.

It can be seen that the competition faced by Xiaomi Auto SU7 is almost the same as that of the mobile phone industry many years ago. At that time, Luo Yonghao, Zhou Hongyi, Jia Yueting and other big names were equally influential in the smart phone industry.

Of course, Lei Jun also realized that this morning, he specially sent a Weibo, saying that he knew the complexity of the automobile industry and knew that it was hard to develop. Then he paid tribute to some "car pioneers" and explicitly mentioned five.BYD, Weilai, Tucki, Ideality and Huawei..

A poster is enough to make people think. Only five posters were mentioned, BYD ranked first, and Huawei finally, where will more players not mentioned be?

I have to admire Xiaomi’s marketing ability.The half-covered and half-masked appearance has already satisfied the audience’s appetite.Before that, all the trouble can attract a large number of people to interpret.

Yesterday, Huawei just released M9, and Lei Jun made a thorough analysis of Xiaomi’s information in advance. Also responded to many questions, such as why it is called SU7? What is the positioning of the first car? This also satisfies people’s curiosity to some extent.

High-end commercial warfare is so unpretentious, trying every means to seize the high point of the topic. What is certain is that tomorrow’s release conference of Xiaomi Automobile in Beijing will be a milestone appearance.

01. Lei Jun’s Spoiler

Lei Jun has made it clear that the press conference on the 28th will only talk about technology, not products, and the duration will be a bit long, starting from 2 pm, estimated to be about 3 hours, and it will also talk about the R&D strength accumulated since Xiaomi built the car.

At present, the R&D team has more than 3,400 people, including thousands of technical experts, and has made many innovations and breakthroughs in many technical fields. Intelligent electric vehicles are the integration of automobile industry and consumer electronics, and Xiaomi’s own technical accumulation and experience in consumer electronics also help Xiaomi Automobile.

Regarding the naming, Lei Jun explained the reason, saying that the name SU of this car is actually the abbreviation of Speed Ultra, which is concise.high-performanceMeaning of.

Musk once said that Tesla would not build a slow train. In fact, Xiaomi has the same idea, and the first product must be the ultimate. As for how to pronounce it, Xiaomi has also discussed it seriously. If you think this name is awkward, it doesn’t matter. You can just call it "Su Qi", just like calling a friend’s name.

Since it is a high-performance car, the pricing will definitely not be too cheap. Lei Jun also gave a vaccination to many netizens in advance this time.

Lei Jun said that Xiaomi SU7 is in the trial production and climbing stage, and it will take several months for it to be officially listed. There is no final decision on pricing, but it is a bit expensive, but it is "reasonable" and will exceed everyone’s expectations in experience.

As for why the car will be the first model, Lei Jun also left a little suspense, saying that it will be explained in detail at the press conference on the 28th.

The first car represents Xiaomi’s car-making concept: technology+ecology, and advanced mobile smart space. Therefore, the positioning of Xiaomi SU7 is "C-class high-performance eco-technology car".

In addition, Lei Jun also talked about the problem of benchmarking vehicles. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi SU7 didn’t have an accurate benchmarking vehicle, and hoped to be a dream cars that could carry all people’s aspirations.

In terms of mechanical qualities such as drivability, I hope to be comparable to Porsche Taycan Turbo；; Intelligently, I hope to be comparable to Tesla Model S；; At the same time, it also has the most advanced technology and the richest ecology.

"Today’s automobile industry, saving a car is really not difficult. Just find a benchmark car, do reverse engineering, change the appearance, and it will be completed soon. But today, 200 new cars are released every year on the market. Do you still need Xiaomi to pick up another one? "

This is also on the 1000th day when Xiaomi announced that he would build a car. What Lei Jun said is enough to explain the confidence of this Xiaomi car. He said that this technology conference will be a comprehensive display of technology accumulation since Xiaomi was founded 13 years ago.

In addition, Lei Jun also revealed to Weibo today that Xiaomi 澎湃 OS launched a new logo and will meet you with a brand-new image, like this:

With the upcoming release of Xiaomi Automobile, Xiaomi’s "all-ecology of people and cars" is officially closed, and it will also usher in a "leap" moment.

02. There must be a battle with Huawei.

As the bell approaches in 2024, two giants, from mobile phones to cars, finally meet on the stage of cars.

In March 2021, Xiaomi announced that he would build a car. Lei Jun’s phrase "Fight for Xiaomi Car" began to distribute heroic posts to the whole world, which made the whole automobile circle boil. On April 19th of the same year, Celeste Huawei chose SF5 to go public, and Huawei’s mobile phone showroom began to put cars on it.

In the past decade, this pair of old rivals in the domestic mobile phone industry has also expanded their "battlefield" to the automobile industry.

It’s just that the strategies of the two companies are slightly different. Huawei has repeatedly reiterated that it does not build cars, but only cooperates with car companies to provide supporting solutions for car companies and build eco-brands. Xiaomi is bold, paving the way with cash, from research and development to production.

Different routes lead to the same goal, but they are all handed over to consumers to verify products. From technology to ecology, both sides will fight back and forth.

Although the entanglement in the automobile circle has just begun, the love-hate relationship between the two sides in the old line has existed as early as ten years ago.

In 2013, in the third year of its establishment, Xiaomi Mobile became a dark horse in the mobile phone market with the high cost performance of Xiaomi and Redmi. In that year, Huawei launched the Huawei Glory brand.

The positioning and pricing of the products of the two companies are highly coincident, which has kicked off the entanglement between the two sides for so many years.

The confrontation between the two sides is also quite explosive.Earlier, some netizens spoke about the workmanship of Xiaomi 4 and Glory 6, which was personally forwarded to Weibo by Lei Jun, saying, "Which friend’s masterpiece is this black draft?" .

At that time, Liu Jiangfeng, president of Huawei’s Glory Business Department, directly forwarded it to Lei Jun Weibo, calling it "having a guilty conscience".

Subsequently, Lei Jun issued three Weibo in succession, saying that Xiaomi has been tolerating various practices of Huawei terminals, and that he is sorting out the list of public relations drafts of Huawei terminals touching porcelain Xiaomi. Yu Chengdong countered that no one in the team had hacked his opponent, suggesting that Xiaomi had no magnanimity.

By this year, the two sides have not been satisfied with the secret war of words, and directly moved the technical contest to the light.

In February this year, Huawei sued Xiaomi, claiming that Xiaomi infringed four patents of Huawei, involving 4G, taking photos, unlocking, etc. Xiaomi was not idle. In July, Xiaomi filed a counterclaim against Huawei against China National Intellectual Property Administration for six patents.

Just recently, Yu Chengdong questioned the "keel shaft" technology of Xiaomi folding screen, which also made Xiaomi officially issue an announcement to clarify the patent issues related to the technology, and said, "Please ask Mr. Yu Chengdong to follow ‘ Science and rigor ’ The basic rules, please don’t discredit peers and mislead the public. "

But the real drama is yet to come, these two outstanding people who have been killed by smartphones,The fight in the car circle will be even more exciting.

03. Everyone is concerned about the price.

Finally, let’s sort out the information that Xiaomi Automobile has made public at present. Although the technology does not talk about products at this conference, combined with the information that has been made public or exposed on the Internet, Xiaomi Automobile is poor in price.

On November 15th this year, Xiaomi SU7 declaration map appeared in the latest issue of the declaration catalogue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The Logo on the front face is xiaomi LOGO, the letter "Xiaomi" is on the rear, and the logo of "Beijing Xiaomi" is on the lower left of the rear. It is positioned as a C-class car with a length, width and height of 4997mm, 1963mm and 1455mm respectively and a wheelbase of 3000 mm.

The semi-hidden door handle is used, and the rearview mirror is frameless. The whole vehicle has multiple air guide slots and is equipped with an electric tail, but it should be an optional configuration. In addition, ETC, rearview mirror style, skylight glass, wheels and calipers are all optional.

There will be two versions of rear drive and four-wheel drive, three different models of standard version, Pro version and Max version, and there may be a track version that will not be sold in batches. The power is 220kW and 275kW respectively, and the maximum speed is 210km/h and 265km/h respectively.

According to the information released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the batteries on Xiaomi SU7 have two models with capacity of 101kWh and 73.6kWh. The total mass of the battery pack is 645.8kg and 579kg respectively, and the corresponding cruising range is 800/750km and 668/628km respectively.

The 800km endurance car is equipped with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited ternary lithium battery, dual-motor four-wheel drive power, 800V high-voltage platform, and should be equipped with active tail as standard.

Judging from the configuration of laser radar on the roof and the investment of Xiaomi in developing intelligent driving, the intelligent driving ability will not be too low.

The spy photos of the new car interior, including some details, have been exposed before. From the spy photos, the interior uses the combination of embedded slender dial and floating screen, and uses the common design of electric vehicles. The whole interior is still based on simple technology.

The steering wheel has a three-piece shape, and a circular knob is set on the left and right sides, which looks more combative as a whole. It is speculated that these two knobs are used to adjust the driving mode and auxiliary driving functions of the vehicle.

As for the car, it is proper to get on the car in the surging OS system. Today, Lei Jun officially released the new logo of Xiaomi’s surging OS in Weibo, and specifically mentioned that the release of Xiaomi’s car is the last link to complete the ecological closed loop of people, cars and homes.

As for what other technologies Xiaomi has, I’ll see you at 2 pm tomorrow.
