  The word "volume" is the most distinctive label in today’s automobile industry. At the moment when the automobile market is scrambling to occupy the forefront of the market, the competitive direction of many cars is not only to configure the volume value, but also to be intelligent. However, many domestic new energy vehicles, such as ACC adaptive cruise system, have become standard, and the direction of the next volume of the car company is bound to be some more advanced intelligent driving assistance systems.

  I, born in the all-electric digital platform, has four technical characteristics, such as high efficiency, high performance, high intelligence and high security. With high intelligence, it also has a high-level intelligent driving assistance system. The biggest difference between it and the general intelligent driving assistance system is that it has added a higher-level integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version and high-speed pilot intelligent driving assistance function, and the more detailed driving assistance action details from point A to point B. What will its performance be like? In the magic mountain city of Chongqing in 8D, let’s experience it.

  On the deep blue SL03i, how about the hardware of Zhijia?

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  The dark blue SL03i we test-drive is equipped with a variety of sensing components, including 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 6 micro-touch sensors, high-precision satellite system, capacitive touch-sensitive steering wheel sensor, 10 smart cameras with different pixels and different viewing angles inside and outside the car, and a DMS camera. Obviously, this is a low-cost intelligent driving hardware scheme that is not pure vision or laser radar. The cooperation of various sensing components can give full play to their respective advantages and realize 360-degree all-round monitoring.

  In addition to hardware, the intelligent driving system of Deep Blue SL03i not only provides conventional maps and high-precision maps provided by Gaode, but also has a large-scale data pool. Based on a large number of open road tests, a large number of data accumulation and simulation training, as well as continuous optimization of algorithms and integration of software and hardware, the paper parameters and actual experience of this system can achieve a good result.

  Deep blue SL03i has both traditional dashboard and AR-HUD. Its imaging size is equivalent to 53 inches, and the information that can be displayed here is very basic but critical. More finely on the central control screen, it shows the surrounding road conditions very accurately. Vehicles, lanes and obstacles will be displayed, all thanks to the capture and identification of the surrounding environment by the on-board hardware system.

  The car system supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 can provide more critical computing power for intelligent driving. In addition to the highly intelligent IACC-L integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version, it is also equipped with NID pilot intelligent driving assistance system, which is a set of driving assistance system based on navigation path. It relies on high-precision maps to achieve pilot-assisted driving on supported expressways and some urban express sections, and it can achieve pilot-assisted driving from point A to point B on the road, which can achieve more advanced self-driving.

  Our experience just happened to catch up with Monday, and it was still in the mountain city of Chongqing, which is known as the 8D magic city and may be the most complicated road network in the world. The experience of assisted driving on such complicated and changeable road conditions with dense traffic and frequent road construction is a great test of the intelligent driving skills of Deep Blue SL03i. In fact, except for some high-speed sections, the occasional urban road conditions in Chongqing also intermittently support the coverage of high-precision maps. So what is its actual performance here?

  Urban Expressway+Expressway Intelligent Driving Experience

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  Under ideal conditions, this intelligent driving system of Deep Blue SL03i can make the vehicle travel from point A to point B automatically according to the route set by navigation. In this process, it can not only overtake the slow-moving vehicle, avoid danger, but also choose a better route independently. The experience is actually very close to automatic driving. However, it should be noted that under the current technical level and the requirements of laws and regulations, all functions are only auxiliary, and the driver can’t be the shopkeeper of cutting.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  Specific to IACC-L, the operation of activating the system is very simple. When the vehicle drives to a road covered by a map, a steering wheel icon will pop up on the dashboard to remind you that you can turn on the function. After turning on, the vehicle can automatically drive according to the destination set by navigation. In actual use, the IACC-L startup operation of Deep Blue SL03i is quite simple. Like most cars, the system can be successfully activated by continuously dialing the electronic gear twice after being prompted, and the adjustment of the following distance and speed can be completed through the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  It is worth mentioning that in Chongqing, where traffic jams are frequent, when the driver turns on the function setting of high-speed pilot intelligent driving assistance or integrated adaptive endurance assistance, the gear will be the lowest gear "1st gear", so the following distance will be more in line with the driving habits of actual users. Officials say that the minimum following distance in this state can be controlled at 2m, and it is more difficult to be "jammed" by other vehicles.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  The area covered by high-precision map on high-speed will display the red stamp of "NID" on the map, and when driving here, the system will automatically switch from IACC-L integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version to NID high-speed navigation assistance. Compared with the integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version, the biggest difference of this high-speed navigation aid is that it can realize automatic ramp up and down and route planning. On the expressway, its function is basically the same as that of automatic driving.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  This system can automatically realize the self-adaptive cruise with lane centering and intelligent adjustment with the car, and realize automatic or commanded steering and intelligent deceleration by identifying speed limit signs in qualified corners. Its logic of judging and responding to the action of the preceding car is very old for drivers, so you don’t have to worry that any deceleration action of the preceding car will make your car have a huge nervous reaction.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  Not all traffic participants on the road follow the rules. Facing the sudden sideways situation, the car can always try its best to avoid it at the first time. Deep blue SL03i can comfortably control the vehicle to slow down to a safe speed according to the speed limit signs appearing in tunnels/ramps/bends. Like an old driver, he will try his best to stick to the edge of the lane to make a smart shift, or try his best to brake and slow down, so as to prevent problems to the greatest extent, but he will never use the bypass to avoid obstacles.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  The timing of intelligent lane change is optional, and it is cautious under standard conditions. When there is no car on the right rear, its lane change action is very textbook, and the timing and speed of lighting, turning and merging are very regular. However, in Chongqing, the car will only change lanes when the rear side is safe and the conditions are met. The threshold is similar to that of drivers who leave the novice period. The game is rather timid. In case of special circumstances, it will make timely corrections during the lane change process, keep a relative distance from the preceding car, and then accelerate the distance after completing the lane change.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  When the speed of the preceding vehicle is too slow and there is road space on both sides, the system will judge the traffic situation and decide whether to change lanes and overtake. It is also optional. Under normal circumstances, its automatic lane change does not require a long safety margin, and the requirements for the distance between the front and rear vehicles on both sides of the lane are not great. The decision logic of the system is very human, and the timing is very human, and there will be no problem of frequent and urgent lane change.

  Occasionally, on particularly congested roads, the logic of the system actually puts safety first. In the face of crowded congested roads and other vehicle drivers without zipper traffic habits, the system will occasionally appear indecisive, and the response of the system will appear a little twitchy. When the car is implemented, there will be a big swing or pitching action, but even the old driver will not be able to handle this scene well.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  The system is also skilled in the choice of roads in and out of the ramp. According to the map and congestion, it will change to the exit lane in advance. When passing through the ramp, the overall response of the car is very decisive, and the speed will also drop to a reasonable range. The overall performance is very sophisticated, and it gives you enough confidence. You don’t have to worry about the problem that the curve with large curvature can’t turn around or snake back and forth in the lane to correct the driving direction.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  In the case that the continuous off-ramp intersection may be missed continuously, deep blue SL03i can accurately judge the congestion intention of other cars, and can choose to slow down and yield independently on the premise of safety. Deep blue SL03i can monitor and predict the behavior of surrounding vehicles in real time during the process of traffic jam and the import and export of the intersection ramp, and always merge the vehicles as safely as possible until you are reminded that you must take over manually.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  When passing through some ramps with narrow radians, the dark blue SL03i can also drive in and out very calmly, and the steering wheel turns silky all the time, and there is almost no line pressing, and the whole acceleration and deceleration are controlled properly, so as to avoid the uncomfortable feeling of the drivers and passengers pitching back and forth and swinging left and right, and bring users a smooth and stable driving experience.

Make Smart Driving Technology Closer to the People Deep Blue SL03i Smart Driving Experience

  The high-speed navigation system is based on the coverage of high-precision maps and services, and in areas not covered by high-precision maps, the system will automatically downgrade to the mode of integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version and remind drivers to be alert to safety, and then the integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version will automatically upgrade to high-speed navigation assistance as long as it drives into the road section with high-precision maps that meet the service coverage again.

  Summary:For today’s experience, most of the time we experience is on the expressway or expressway in Chongqing. Although it seems simple, considering the complexity of Chongqing’s own traffic, it is really not a simple thing to handle such a scene well. The deep blue SL03i does ensure both safety and traffic efficiency in most of the time, which is quite surprising.

  What needs to be considered is that, judging from this set of intelligent driving ability, its performance this time does not lose some models that focus on high-level intelligent driving at a price of 300,000 yuan, and even has certain advantages in details. Considering the starting price of Deep Blue SL03i, no matter which way it goes public in the future, the price will make technology equal, which is probably its greatest advantage.

Lidar will be eliminated? Is ASD really so powerful when L4 is driving automatically?

Presumably, everyone knows the pre-sale price, 215,900 yuan, no more or less, just passing the edge of 200,000 yuan. Therefore, according to the popular "high opening and low walking" game in the pre-sale stage and the official listing stage, it is very likely that the starting price of Extreme Yue 07 will be lowered to about 190,000 yuan.

I won’t say much about the appearance configuration. Recently, it happened to be the Chengdu Auto Show. Friends who are free can go to the booth of the Extreme Vietnam to experience and consult. It just happened that this car is also here. Next, let’s go straight to the theme and discuss the core of Extreme Yue 07, which is also the core of this brand: AI Zhijia.

In fact, as early as two days before the Media Day of Chengdu Auto Show in 2024, Jiyue specially held a press conference to give a more comprehensive introduction to its current AI intelligent driving level, and I happened to participate.

At the meeting, Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Yue, first introduced the commonality between Extreme Yue and Radish Run. On the one hand, both of them are backed by Baidu, and on the other hand, everyone has L4 autopilot technology. But the difference is that Rapunzel is commercial, while Extreme Yue is domestic, so for Extreme Yue, this is the first time that L4 autonomous driving technology has empowered the family car market, which is of great significance to itself and the market.

So what do you think the family car equipped with L4 autonomous driving technology will look like? Is it like a radish running with a perception radar that is more in the way than the roof trunk, or is it like Weilai, with three bags at one head? Sorry, neither.

In their own words, they think that the system that mainly depends on "lidar+high-precision map+rule algorithm" is the classical intelligent driving, while "pure vision+end-to-end large model" is the new intelligent driving. Therefore, when Xia Yiping talked about the ASD link, in addition to the "APOLLP LP" marked with Baidu, he also marked the words "the only one in the world and the only one in China".

Indeed, in addition to Tesla’s FSD in the world, there are not many car companies that insist on adopting pure vision solutions, and even fewer can do it. If ASD can really run like a radish, and realize L4 automatic driving with pure vision scheme on private cars based on Apollo ADFM model, then it is indeed "the only one in the world and the only one in China", but the question is whether it can be done?

According to the function of the live demonstration at the press conference, whether it is high speed, city or obstacle stopping and avoiding, obstacle bypassing between lanes, parking in extremely narrow parking spaces, AEB ability, etc., the Extreme Yue 07 with ASD full of blood does have little difference from Huawei ADS 3.0, but it does not show its intelligent driving ability in rainy days, foggy days and other poor perception situations, which is exactly the essential difference between lidar and camera.

But I have to say that the price of ASD is really exciting and true conscience! Tesla’s FSD buyout is about 60 thousand yuan, while ASD is only about 30 thousand yuan, and the limited time period is only 4999 yuan. To tell the truth, this price can’t be installed with a laser radar, but it can directly buy out the high-order intelligent driving function of ASD’s complete set of pure vision solutions, so I don’t want to talk about it.

Generally speaking, whether ASD can completely replace the intelligent driving system under the laser radar scheme at present, with reference to the embarrassing situation of FSD abroad, I personally think it remains to be verified. However, as one of the few car companies in China that adopt the pure vision intelligent driving scheme, the more capable they are, the more they are.

Recently, Deep Blue G318, the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Auto, was officially launched, which quickly attracted the attention of consumers. According to the official data of Deep Blue Auto, the order of Deep Blue G318 exceeded 10,000 in 70 hours and reached 14,126 in 5 days.

This order data is hot. You should know that the dark blue G318 is a smaller off-road SUV, and it is remarkable to get such an order.

Deep blue car isAs a holding subsidiary, Deep Blue brand is positioned in the mid-range new energy vehicle market.Before G318, Deep Blue Automobile had successively launched the middle-class car Deep Blue SL03 and the middle-class SUV Deep Blue S7, but neither of these two models became the explosion of monthly sales exceeding 10,000.

How long can consumers’ enthusiasm for paying for the hot G318 this time? Can it help Deep Blue achieve sales breakthrough?

Extended-range off-road SUV, starting at less than 180 thousand

A few years ago, when the concept of new consumption was hot, some founders shouted that "all industries are worth doing again". In the new energy vehicle market in recent years, the phenomenon that "all models are worth doing again with hybrid (including extended range)" is happening.

In addition to A00 and A0 class cars below 100,000 yuan, which are still pure electric home, there are hybrid and extended-range models with excellent market performance in the automobile market of 100,000-500,000 yuan. Even the niche off-road SUV track has begun to appear frequently with hybrid and extended-range vehicles.

For example, Equation Panther 5, Tank 400, Tank 500, Tank 700 and Haval Raptors all have hybrid models, and looking up at U8, Polar Stone 01 and Warrior 917 are all extended-range models.

The recently launched Deep Blue G318 is also an extended-range off-road SUV, with an order volume exceeding 14,000 units within 5 days.

Deep Blue G318 is the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Automobile, which was officially launched on June 13th. The car has launched a total of six models, and the price range of three two-wheel drive models is 17.59-19.99 million yuan. Among the three four-wheel drive models, the four-wheel drive comfort version and the four-wheel drive suspension version are priced at 199,900 yuan and 229,900 yuan respectively; The top-of-the-line worry-free version is priced at 318,000 yuan, and the pre-sale is expected to start in early 2025.

The dark blue G318 model is positioned as a hard-core SUV with a tough appearance. In terms of power, it is equipped with the super extended range 2.0 system under the new Blue Whale power platform, which consists of a 1.5T range finder and a high-performance motor, and the fuel consumption of power feed is as low as 6.1L/100km. The battery capacity of the entry-level two-drive standard version is small, and the pure electric cruising range (under CLTC working condition) is 77km, so it does not have fast charging function. Other models have a pure electric cruising range of 172km-190km, with fast charging function.

Among the five scheduled start-up models, three two-wheel drive models focus on daily mode. The two four-wheel drive models are mainly off-road, with terrain modes such as wading, snow, rugged terrain, mud and sand. They can turn around in situ and crawl off-road. They are equipped with a special central stepless differential lock for off-road, a magnetic mechanical differential lock for rear axle and a wading radar, with a 1.6T qualification towing hook. Except for the entry-level two-wheel drive standard version, all other models have V2V fast discharge function.

In terms of intelligent driving, all five models have L2-level auxiliary driving function, which can realize speed limit recognition, lane keeping assistance, AEB automatic emergency braking and other functions, among which two-wheel drive suspension and four-wheel drive suspension are higher in configuration, with blind spot monitoring, lane changing assistance, reversing lateral emergency braking and other functions.

After the launch of this off-road SUV in deep blue, the order performance is very hot. Can this hard-core off-road SUV drive the sales of deep blue cars to increase?

"Dark Horse" dark blue car, sales go high and low.

With the accelerated transformation in recent years, three smart electric brands, Aouita, Deep Blue Auto and Changan Qiyuan, have been formed under the Changan Automobile System. Among them, Aouita focuses on the high-end market, by Changan Automobile,Cooperate with Huawei. Deep Blue Automobile is a holding subsidiary of Changan Automobile, focusing on the mid-to-high-end market and targeting younger groups. Changan Qiyuan belongs to a brand-new product sequence of Changan Automobile, which is aimed at more mainstream consumers.

As you can see,Deep blue automobile is responsible for the high-end transformation of Changan Automobile. However, since the first car went on the market, the sales of deep blue cars have appeared "high opening and low going".

Deep Blue Automobile was established in April 2022. Three months later, the first strategic model SL03 was released. The entry-level extended-range model was priced at 168,900 yuan, and the entry-level pure electric model was priced at 183,900 yuan. After 33 minutes of listing, the order exceeded 10,000 yuan.In December, 2022, Deep Blue Auto delivered over 10,000 yuan in a single month, which was the fastest electric vehicle brand to deliver over 10,000 yuan, and became a "dark horse in the new energy automobile industry".

Under the strong performance of Deep Blue SL03, Deep Blue Auto has set a sales target of 400,000 vehicles for 2023. However, after entering 2023, the sales volume of Deep Blue SL03 began to decline, and the delivery volume in May 2023 was 7021 vehicles.

On June 25th, 2023, the second strategic model S7 of Deep Blue was launched. With the help of the two models, the sales performance of Deep Blue brand in the second half of 2023 was excellent, and the delivery peak of 18,338 vehicles was created in December.However, throughout 2023, the dark blue brand delivered a total of 136,900 vehicles, only completing one-third of the sales target.

At the end of 2023, the CEO of Deep Blue Automobile announced that the global sales target of Deep Blue Team in 2024 was set at 450,000 vehicles. But then, Changan Automobile announced the sales target of the group, and finally set the annual sales target of Deep Blue Automobile at 280,000 vehicles.

In 2024, the overall delivery volume of Deep Blue brand declined. In the first five months, 67,200 vehicles were delivered, only about 24% of the sales target was achieved.

In the past three months, the retail sales of Deep Blue SL03 were 4,311, 4,524 and 5,303 respectively, and the retail sales of Deep Blue S7 were 5,705, 5,492 and 5,977 respectively. In the sales rankings of medium-sized cars and medium-sized SUVs, the two models of Deep Blue SL03 and Deep Blue S7 are both ranked around 15th.

In the past two years, Deep Blue has suffered a large loss. According to Changan Automobile Annual Report, in 2022, the revenue of Deep Blue Automobile, formerly known as Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., was 15.678 billion yuan and its net profit was-3.197 billion yuan. In 2023, the revenue of Deep Blue Automobile increased to 25.883 billion yuan and the net profit was-2.999 billion yuan.In two years, the accumulated loss of Deep Blue Automobile exceeded 6 billion yuan.

Hard-core cross-country, is Deep Blue on the right track?

Deep blue G318 orders are hot, largely because of its high cost performance.

Generally speaking, off-road vehicles need larger ones.Therefore, fuel vehicles are often used, and even diesel is chosen as the power type. However, the high fuel consumption brought by high power, at the same time, most off-road SUV consumers are not heavy off-road enthusiasts, and the use scenarios are mostly daily mode. "Light off-road" and "urban off-road" are more common, so the fuel consumption performance of off-road SUVs is even more important.

According to the official information of Deep Blue, the fuel consumption of Deep Blue G318 per 100 kilometers is 6L, while the fuel consumption of Equation Leopard 5, Haval Raptor and Tank 400 all exceeds 7L.

In addition, due to the larger size and the load-bearing body, the interior space of the dark blue G318 is larger, and the trunk space reaches 818L. At the same time, with non-loaded body and air suspension, Deep Blue G318 is more comfortable in driving and rear row.

However, although the orders for Deep Blue G318 are hot, it is equally challenging to drive Deep Blue to achieve its sales target.

On the one hand, off-road SUV itself is a smaller track, and the market volume is difficult to compare with mainstream models.In March-May this year, the sales volume of Jietu travelers with the best performance of off-road SUVs were 9219, 10049 and 6819 respectively. For example, the sales of star models such as Tank 300 and Haval Dog are only around 5,000-6,000, and the sales of other off-road SUV models are mostly below 4,000.

In this case, the ceiling faced by Deep Blue G318 itself is not high, and it remains to be seen whether it can drive the sales of Deep Blue cars to make a big breakthrough.

On the other hand, Deep Blue G318 is the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Automobile, and it is also the only off-road SUV of Changan Automobile at present, and its actual competitiveness still needs market verification.At the same time, although Deep Blue G318 has certain advantages, at the price of 100,000-200,000 yuan, G318 still needs to deal with fuel vehicles such as Jetway Traveler, Tank 300 and Haval Dog, as well as new energy vehicles such as iCAR03, Jetway Shanhai T2 and Haval Raptors, and the difficulty of seizing the market can be imagined.

At present, although Deep Blue has failed to continue its high-gloss performance when it was first listed, it has gained a firm foothold in the automobile industry with its superior shape design and strong cost performance.

On August 8th, Chery was officially listed. The new car is positioned as a medium-sized fuel SUV, which belongs to a higher-quality version of Chery. The price range is 129,900 yuan-174,900 yuan, providing 5 seats and 7 seats. In which: the standard version is 129,900 yuan; The comfort version is139,900 yuan; Deluxe edition is 149,900 yuan; The distinguished edition is 159,900 yuan; The 7-seat ring tower champion edition is 174,900 yuan. In short, it will be slightly lower than the pre-sale price. The highlight is the policy strength: the replacement enjoys a cash discount of 15,000 yuan, and the women’s volleyball guardian fund enjoys a cash discount of 10,000 yuan. The first car owner and used car enjoy a lifetime warranty.

Key point: Used cars are also guaranteed for life.

As for why he chose to push the fuel car again, Li Xue of Chery explained very hard: "It’s not that the fuel car can’t sell well, it’s that your fuel car can’t sell well."

As a reference, Chery sold 195,700 vehicles in July, up 30.1% year-on-year, and its overseas fuel export volume reached a peak. Chery believes that only by thoroughly understanding the basic skills of fuel can we get the highest score of new energy.

Chery has always adhered to the motivation of self-research. At the press conference, Li Xueyong also publicly stated that Chery is about to release a high-performance engine with an efficiency of 48%. What is the concept of 48%? At present, the highest I remember is about 46%.

Go back to the model itself. The model itself is the "top match" in the Tiggo 8 series, and its size configuration and performance are superior to those of the same family: Tiggo 8, Tiggo 8 PLUS and Tiggo 8 PRO.

The whole vehicle is built on the super hybrid platform of Chery Mars architecture and developed according to the global five-star safety standards, which meets both domestic and global requirements.

The whole vehicle is made of high-strength steel (85%) and hot-formed steel (21%), equipped with the only far-end airbag of the same class and 19 active safety configurations, reaching L2.5 intelligent driving assistance capabilities, such as rear cross collision braking, rear approach warning, lane keeping, lane departure assistance, blind zone monitoring, door opening warning, traffic sign recognition, front collision warning and automatic emergency braking, etc.

The dimension part has a length, width and height of 4795/1930/1741mm and a wheelbase of 2770mm, which is one circle larger than that of Tiggo 8 and is exactly the same as that of Tiggo 8. The seating layout is available in 5-seat and 7-seat (5+2) versions. The seats in the second row and the third row of the 7-seat version all support electric full flat down, and the official announcement can achieve a maximum capacity of 2065L!

The interior design is also highly referenced to Fengyun T9: equipped with 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, 15.6-inch central control screen, built-in Qualcomm 8155 chip, supporting Apple CarPlay+ Huawei HiCar.

The passenger seat is the "Queen’s seat" (zero gravity seat), which supports heating/ventilation/massage.

The new car is equipped with 2.0TGDI Kunpeng turbocharged engine, Miller cycle, second generation intelligent thermal management system, scissor double balance shaft and 350bar ultra-high pressure direct injection system. The advantage is that it is both fierce and fuel efficient.

The maximum power of the power system is 187 kW (254 HP) and the maximum torque is 390 Nm, which is almost equal to the performance of more than 600,000 2.0T engines (258 HP).

It is worth mentioning that this car matches the full-stack self-developed Kunpeng 8AT gearbox. At present, apart from Changan CS75 PLUS, few domestic cars within 200,000 yuan will be willing to use 8AT gearbox, which is generally dual clutch.

In terms of passability, the top gear provides the choice of four-wheel drive system. The four-wheel drive system has an intelligent control torque manager, which can realize the torque distribution of the front and rear axles, and provides three basic driving modes+four off-road modes, a total of seven driving modes.

Draw a key point: self-developed motivation, self-developed gearbox and self-developed four-wheel drive. Chery can be said that among domestic brands, it is rare for the three major fuel products to be so thoroughly researched and made by themselves.

Ok, the question is coming. Which version will you choose from so many versions?

Changan Auchan z6idd real reputation, Changan Auchan z6idd hybrid is worth buying?

Changan Auchan, as a sub-brand of Changan, shares the technology R&D, procurement and manufacturing system with Changan Automobile, so what is the performance of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD? Let’s understand the real evaluation of the owner:

1. Sufficient power reserve

Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is equipped with a 1.5T engine +110kW drive motor, which matches the 6th gear powershift. The acceleration time of the vehicle is 7.4 seconds and the maximum speed can reach 200km/h.. Compared with many compact plug-in SUVs, Auchan Z6 iDD has advantages in acceleration performance and extreme speed, and can drive at will on both urban roads and high speed.

2. The car cost is low.

Chang ‘an Auchan Z6 iDD has a NEDC pure electric cruising range of 150 kilometers, which can meet the needs of commuting when driving in urban areas every day, and basically does not need to use fuel. Thanks to the Blue Whale 1.5T hybrid engine and the powertrain of 6th-speed powershift, the vehicle can achieve 6L/100km fuel consumption in the state of power loss and direct drive. Even at high speed, the fuel consumption of Auchan Z6 iDD will not exceed 7L/100km.

3. The space is practical enough.

Although Auchan Z6 iDD is a compact SUV, its body size is not excellent in its class, but the rear platform in the car is completely flat, the rear space is spacious, and the leg space and head space are very large. The trunk space is also very spacious, the volume is larger than many compact SUVs, and there are many storage spaces in the front and rear rows of the car, which is very practical.

4. high price–performance ratio

The official guide price of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is 15.58-17.58 million yuan. Now, under the preferential policies, the price of bare cars remains around 13-15 million yuan. Compared with many compact plug-in SUVs on the market, the advantages of Auchan Z6 iDD are that the whole system comes standard with a long battery life of 150KM, as well as 360 panoramic images, cruise control, keyless entry, electric adjustment of the main driver’s seat, central control of three screens, intelligent voice assistant, independent air outlets in the rear row and other configurations. Combined with the advantages of strong vehicle power, low vehicle cost and large space, the discounted Auchan Z6 iDD is very cost-effective.

5. Insufficient market recognition

Changan’s iDD is a relatively new hybrid technology, and its performance in durability, reliability and stability needs to be tested in the long-term market. As a sub-brand of Changan, Changan Auchan’s market recognition is also insufficient, and Auchan’s logo is more like the logo of a brand-name car in the eyes of many people. It should be pointed out that Auchan is not a mainstream brand.

6. The ride comfort is average

Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is equipped with a 6-speed powershift. Compared with the large-scale use of E-CVT transmission, Changan Auchan Z6 iDD can obviously feel the shift of the vehicle during driving, and its ride comfort is not as good as other new energy vehicles of the same level.

7. Chassis texture is hard.

The chassis suspension of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD adopts the combination of front McPherson and rear multi-links. During driving, the chassis texture is hard, and it has a good filtering effect on large shocks and bumps, but it has an average filtering effect on fine shocks.

8. Driving noise is loud.

According to feedback from many car owners, the sound insulation effect of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is average, and the tire noise is obvious after the vehicle speed rises. There will be a large wind noise in the A-pillar area when driving at high speed, and the low-speed warning sound of the vehicle is too loud and the sound is relatively cheap when driving at low speed.

长安欧尚Z6

To sum up, if you need a car with both power and fuel consumption, large space and high cost performance, Changan Auchan Z6 iDD hybrid is worth buying. However, it is necessary to pay attention to its above shortcomings, and it is recommended to go directly to the 4s shop for test drive experience before buying.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

[Truck House Original] 139,800, without a word, it started the price war in the field of electric/hybrid vehicles. How big is the impact of low-price strategy? In addition to promoting the upgrading and progress of the industry (price reduction and quality improvement), the price of hybrid models is very close to the high end, which will undoubtedly seize the living space of more oil vehicles and affect the existing market structure.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

Then the question is coming, whose hybrid light truck is better? We have selected brands with relatively high attention at present, namely BYD T5DM, JAC, HV2 and Xingzhi H, and let’s have a plate together!

Note: The four vehicles in this inventory are all extended-range hybrids, that is, they do not directly participate in driving vehicles, but drive vehicles or charge batteries to store energy by generating electricity.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

BYD T5DM is not the first brand to launch a hybrid model, but this car is perhaps the most concerned, because the official price is tens of thousands cheaper than competing products, and the entry-level model only costs 139,800, which is only more expensive than high-end light trucks, but it has more battery life and road rights.

More importantly, the difference between the entry-level version of 139,800 and the high-end model is mainly in intelligence. Other hardware specifications are basically the same, and most users only need to choose the side door of the car.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

In the power part, BYD T5DM is equipped with a 1.5T gasoline engine dedicated for hybrid. This technical route is basically the same as that on BYD passenger cars, so the reliability is guaranteed. At the same time, this machine only needs to eat No.92 "coarse grains", which ensures the economy to a certain extent.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

The battery is naturally BYD’s blade battery, with a capacity of 18.3 degrees, slightly larger than the competing products, which can provide the vehicle with a battery life of about 50 kilometers, which meets the regulatory standards and can be green. The comprehensive battery life of oil and electricity is about 1000 kilometers, which can reduce the frequency of energy supplement.

The reason why the compartment space is general is mainly because the cab space of this car is larger and the longitudinal size is longer than that of the general model. How to choose depends on personal needs. In terms of configuration, the real shot is a high-profile version of 149,800, with a large-size screen and an intelligent driver assistance system. Other models are basically the same as the entry version.

Like the appearance, the interior design of this car is similar to that of a fuel car. The semi-circular design is convenient to operate, and a smart large screen is placed in the center. Besides daily entertainment and vehicle information display, it can also control the vehicle air conditioning system.

In the driving motor part, the flying saucer HV2 uses a 120kW permanent magnet synchronous driving motor with a peak torque of 325nm, which is suitable for light load and standard load transportation. The electric drive bridge also has a 100,000-kilometer-long oil change and wheel end maintenance-free design, which will be more worry-free in later use.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

The battery design of the flying saucer HV2 is very interesting. In addition to the "conventional" 17.5-degree battery, users can choose 4.16-degree and 50-degree versions, and users can match more operation scenarios according to their own needs.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

The interior design of flying saucer HV2 is very distinctive, and all kinds of unconventional designs are quite imaginative and highly recognizable. In terms of configuration, this car has a multi-function steering wheel and a large screen on the car. According to the details, this car can also expand the one-button start function.

As the sales leader in the field of electric vehicles, although the current price is not as low as BYD’s, few brands can compete with its influence, and its products are also quite interesting. For example, today’s Xingzhi H series uses a rather rare methanol power.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

Methanol power is a representative product of the remote family. This car is equipped with a 1.8-liter displacement version, the model is JLC-4M18F, and the maximum power is 120 kW.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

The driving motor is also 120 kW, which is not much different from the same level. The battery capacity is the advantage of this car. The maximum capacity is 20.8 kW, which is a few kilowatt hours larger than that of ordinary cars.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

The top of this car covers van, barn, fence and other forms, which is no different from the conventional oil truck. The size of the van is 4150x2100x2100mm, which can meet the daily needs.

BYD started a price war! Who is the reliable hybrid light truck?

The cab comfort performance and space performance of Xingzhi H series are acceptable. At the same time, the ergonomic design of the seat is in place, and it is more comfortable for daily driving. In the configuration part, although the car is not a high-profile model, it has LCD instrument, knob shift and optional 360 look-around configuration, which is relatively intelligent.

BYD T5DM has lowered the entry threshold for users, which has a great impact on the industry. In the future, the proportion of electric vehicles in urban centers is bound to be further improved, which is worth looking forward to. However, you should not blindly enter the business, because hybrid light trucks also have their own limitations, and you should judge the products that suit you according to your own working conditions.

Body double Stand

Michael Schumacher is back! Schumacher’s comeback is enough to shake the whole F1, the whole world racing world. This news is enough to "drown out" the news that BMW will withdraw from F1 next year. The maiden voyage of the legendary car king’s brilliant course began with a small "body double" incident.

Please read the report in The China Journal:

Schumacher’s first grand prix was with Jordan in Belgium in 1991, as a stand-in for jailed Belgian driver Bertrand Gachot. Despite completing only 500m in the race, he made an immediate impression.

Schumacher’s first participation in the International Grand Prix began in 1991 when he represented Jordan in Belgium. At that time, Belgian driver Bertrand Garshute was arrested and Schumacher appeared as "body double". Although he only participated in a 500-meter race, he was immediately impressed.

In the above report,stand-inIt means "body double, the temporary substitute". This statement comes from Hollywood. When making a movie, the "stand-in" who replaces some scenes of the star is Stand-in.

The expression "Stand-in" is not limited to "stand-in", but has gradually expanded into daily life. Whenever a person temporarily does something instead of others, that person can be called stand-in. For example, Tom has been ill recently, I acted as Tom’s stand-in when he was away.

As we all know, the thrilling actions in movies are often performed by others instead of movie stars, and this kind of action is often called a stuntman. Stunt here means "stunt, trick". If you don’t have special training, Never Again Pull a Stunt Like Ride a Bicycle No Hand. And Stuntflier means "stunt pilot".
