1905 movie network news On February 22, the comedy film "Mr. Red Carpet", directed and starring, held a launch ceremony in Shenzhen. Director Ning Hao, starring Andy Lau, and actors, actresses,, and Zhou Wei attended together.

Therefore, Ning Hao and Andy Lau, who became attached, finally cooperated for the first time in the movie. Andy Lau shouted excitedly: "Finally waiting for you!" Director Ning Hao also said: "It’s time for us to play!"

It is reported that the film tells the comedy story of Hong Kong’s aging star working with mainland directors in order to "turn red" and will be released nationwide in 2023.

Andy Lau

The movie "Mr. Red Carpet" tells the story of Liu Weichi, an aging star played by Andy Lau, who collaborates with a major director to make a comeback. He goes deep into the countryside to experience life, but his arrogance triggers a series of endless farce. Ultimately, he has an epiphany that being sincere is the most precious quality, and his life has been transformed and restored to beauty.

Celebrities come to the countryside to experience life, such a farce makes people laugh just thinking about it. And Andy Lau plays an outdated Hong Kong star, such a contrast setting is even more exciting, and it also fills the expectations of the film’s comedy properties.

At the launch ceremony, the lead actor Andy Lau said: "After waiting for so many years, we finally waited. I hope we can make a good show!" Director Ning Hao also borrowed the good fortune of the launch to cheer for the whole crew: "Today is a once-in-a-lifetime good day, February 22, 2022, so many good things come in pairs, it’s time for us to play!"

In 2006, the director Ning Hao received 3 million funding from Mr. Lau’s "Asian Rising Star Directing Project" to shoot "The Dark Horse" and "Crazy Stone", and created the film style of "black comedy", which made a sensation that crazy summer. For years, audiences have been hoping that Director Ning Hao and Andy Lau can work together on a film to satisfy audiences’ wishes.

Sixteen years later, "Mr. Red Carpet" was finally born, and the collaboration between the two big names was highly anticipated. At the same time, it also made everyone speculate, what kind of comedy is this? What kind of sparks will the two top figures in the field of directing and acting collide? The final "laugh" is expected.

1905 movie network feature andThe battle is not over yet, the week is over. This week, a total of nine new films were released, but the focus was on these two films, that isandWhich of these nine new films can I watch? How much are these two focus works worth looking forward to? Xiaodian helps you filter

"The Flying Tiger."

Director: Ding Sheng

Starring: Jackie Chan/Huang Zitao/Wang Kai/Wang Continental/Sang Ping/Wu Yonglun

Release Date: 2016-12-23

Duration: 123 minutes

Director Ding Sheng’s most well-known work in recent years was last year’s work. Whether it was the wonderful performance of supporting actor Wang Qianyuan or the inner impulse to eat dumplings after watching it, it was impressive. This year, Director Ding Sheng rushed into the New Year’s Eve stall with his new work and partnered with a group of big coffee.

After that, Jackie Chan, who worked with Ding Sheng three times, and Huang Zitao, Wang Kai and Wang Continental, who worked together for the first time, formed a folk anti-Japanese guerrilla team. They were all railway workers at Zaozhuang Railway Station on Jinpu Railway. Jackie Chan was the captain Ma Yuan, the foreman of the porters. They worked in the day and came out to fight the devils at night. The common people gave them a name called the Railway Flying Tigers.

The posters released so far in this film are all very beautiful, and the characters in the play are also very talkative. Several new actors and Xiao Xianrou have shown a funny side.

And for Jackie Chan, who was very desperate to film, this time it was still the same. He led the Flying Tigers in the Northeast at minus 20 degrees, on a 100-ton train head, completing various forms including skateboard train scraping, slide train scraping, and other extreme movements such as train jumping.

The film also did a lot of things, except for releasing a poster of the longest, longest and longest in history(The poster is too long, click here to view it.)In addition, there will also be scenes of a train crash in the movie.

They also used actors to create more than 80 memes, which can be used directly. (However, the release date is not the 30th in the picture, but the 23rd~)

The Ferryman.

Director and Screenwriter: Zhang Jiajia

Producer: Wong Kar-wai

Starring: Tony Leung/Takeshi Kancheng/Eason Chan/Angelababy/Zhang Rongrong…

Release Date: 2016-12-23

Duration: 128 minutes

Wong Kar-wai, who has been making a play for many years, has not released a new film, but has released a film he supervised, "The Ferryman".

The director of this play is the screenwriter Zhang Jiajia. "Passing Through Your World" has been released on National Day, and the story integrity of the script is not good. The problem of lines not speaking human words has been seen. This time, he not only wrote but also directed "Ferryman". Zhang Jiajia’s goodnight heart language lines will still appear in such an atmosphere, which is amazing. What kind of atmosphere? Let’s see what Takeshi Kancheng said:

Of course, Tony Leung and Takeshi Kancheng can be seen enjoying the performance of comedy when filming this drama. They have also transformed from the melancholy male gods of these years to the early Hong Kong-style comedies. They are funny and desperate.

However, it has to be said that these few words of Takeshi Kancheng are the same as what we feel when we see the trailer. I didn’t expect "Ferryman" to be a comedy. In the trailer that has been exposed so far, only a few lines are from Tony Leung, Takeshi Kancheng, Angelababy, Zhang Rongrong, Xiong Dailin, Jia Ling, Liu Yan. Other places are basically based on the narration of Tony Leung and Takeshi Kancheng.

These casts are very mixed, except for Tony Leung and Takeshi Kancheng, as well as Anglebaby, whose acting skills have been criticized, Dapeng, who has just given a wonderful performance in China, comedians Jia Ling and Cui Zhijia, as well as popular singers Li Yuchun, Little Fresh Meat Luhan, High Cold Muse Rhododendron and so on.

The film’s story is simple. Adapted from Zhang Jiajia’s novel, Tony Leung’s Chen Mo and Takeshi Kancheng’s Guan Chun open a bar and act as ferrymen, who can rescue people who come for help from their pain and bring them happiness and warmth. The nature of the story sounds very similar to another film, helping people solve difficulties and fulfill their wishes.

Of course, there is no shortage of emotional stories in "Ferryman". The current CPs are: Tony Leung and Du Juan, Takeshi Kancheng and Zhang Rongrong, Eason Chan and Angelababy.

"The world is like a book, I prefer your sentence, I would like to be a comma and stay at your feet. But you have your own reader, and I am just a ferryman." This is from Zhang Jiajia’s novel, let’s see if this sentence will become a narration or a line.

　　Details of participating institutions are as follows:

At 8 o’clock on the evening of June 9, the long-awaited Tang DM-p finally officially appeared for pre-sale, with a pure battery life of 215 kilometers, a super intelligent electric four-wheel drive, an acceleration of 4.3 seconds at zero, and a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers, which is a performance benchmark of this level. Perhaps my expectations are too high. As the first generation of Tang car owners, I am slightly disappointed with the new Tang DM-p, and even think it is a compromise between technology and market.

Dynasty series is BYD’s pioneering work. Since the first generation of Qin and Tang Dynasties, it has established its position as a leader in new energy vehicles. In particular, the 542 strategy, Tang Zhanfanbang, eclipsed the joint venture car at the same level! Zero acceleration of 4.9 seconds, full-time electric four-wheel drive, in the 200,000-class SUV, Tang Yi rides the dust! Even under a million, there are few opponents. Since then, BYD has gained the first batch of fans, and I am one of them.

The first batch of Tang car owners, the pride of domestic cars was rooted in their bones. At that time, the 2015 Tang didn’t even have a small BSG motor, and it was said to be an oil tiger, but I could drive it below 6L (the road conditions were smooth), and even went to
(
get away
) specific fuel consumption. The running-in between people and cars has reached such a level as an armband, an automatic transmission car, and I can even control the engine rpm through mode switching and throttle depth, just like manual transmission.

In 18 years, the second generation of Tang Dynasty went on the market, and started the family design of Longyan, upgraded the BSG small motor, and the zero-hundred-speed acceleration was also improved to 4.5 seconds, which can be said to be a brand-new look from the inside out. At that time, the president of Volkswagen even came to Wan Li for a test drive, so that he was caught speeding and made a wave of advertisements for BYD for free.

Perhaps the starting point of Tang is too high. This time, Tang DM-p did evolve and upgrade in some places, but it also lost something. The prospective car owner may be happy, but for an old car owner like me, he is slightly disappointed. Tang DM-p still hasn’t evolved to the perfect appearance in my heart, and there are some grooves, so I really can’t spit it out.

First, what about the gearbox?

DM-i doesn’t need it, because it focuses on economy and fuel economy. Han DM-p can also use no gearbox, and the passability of the car determines that it can only take pavement. But as an SUV with main performance,Represents poetry and the distant Tang DynastyI think the gearbox is necessary.

EHS electric hybrid system can be more fuel-efficient and smooth, and the super intelligent electric four-wheel drive is realized by three-in-one rear electric drive, and its stability and difficulty relief are not inferior to the previous version. When using the gearbox, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of shifting, which will reduce the driving experience and increase fuel consumption. However, the gearbox has two advantages that ECVT can’t compare. The first isThe engine can be involved in the full speed range., the power bonus is higher. The second isOil and electricity systems are independent of each other, which can form double insurance..

ECVT (including all the existing DHT in 2nd and 3rd gears) has no starting gear, so once the battery, motor and circuit system fail, the engine cannot drive the vehicle alone. And the hybrid gearbox, such as the old Tang and Han DM, can run on pure oil, at the very least, the safety is more secure, and it will not squat halfway. It is more reliable when you drive long distances, even when you cross long distances.

Second, upgrade 2.0T to 1.5T?

Compared with the 2021 Tang DM, the power of Tang DM-p has not been significantly improved, and the official announcement is 4.3 seconds faster than the actual measurement. However, the old Tang DM was realized by 2.0T engine+dual motors with total power of 394kW, while the new Tang DM-p was realized by 1.5T engine+dual motors with total power of 480kW.

We don’t blow black, the displacement is small, the fuel consumption will inevitably decrease, and on this basis, the performance has not weakened, which can be regarded as an improvement. The old Tang DM lost 7.5L of electricity and fuel consumption, while the new one was reduced to 6.5L..

In addition, the thermal efficiency of the new 1.5T Xiaoyun engine is more than 40%, and the noise and vibration are obviously better than the old 2.0T If the new and old models are compared, the new NVH must be far superior to the old ones. Although I have not measured this, I can tell from the technical details.

However, it is 1.5T after all. In order to make the power reach the previous high standard, the motor power has to be increased, and in order to maintain the output of the motor, the battery has to be increased. So this is the Tang DM-p with a battery life of 215Km. butDon DM-p, in my mind, it should be 2.0T!

2.0T high thermal efficiency engine, BYD487ZQD, the thermal efficiency is actually not too high, 39% is enough, and the soul of Tang is not fuel-efficient. I think the fuel consumption of 7.5L is acceptable, because if it can be charged at home, it will still be driven by pure electricity most of the time. My old Tang needs 9L for electricity consumption, but I also have to worry about the expiration of gasoline. For most people, 80Km pure battery life is enough.

Third, don DM-p is still
AWD？

BYD’s marketing level is a long story. before
The four-wheel drive version is called Song PLUS DM-i AWD, which is the same as adding a rear motor on the basis of the EHS hybrid of DM-i. And when I got to Han,
In addition, the rear motor realizes four-wheel drive, because the pure battery life is longer, it is called DM-P. Is there any rule for this naming? Who can tell me what is the difference between DM-i AWD and DM-p? Is the motor more powerful?

In fact, according to the classification defined by BYD itself, the current DM-p of Tang and Han should be called DM-i AWD. Because DM-p is defined as the ultimate performance, regardless of fuel consumption, it should be a 2.0T engine+a hybrid special gearbox with a starting gear (which can be an advanced version of DCT). On this basis, plus a large motor and a large battery necessary for a large motor, it should not be a problem to have a pure battery life of 200Km and a break of 4 seconds.

As a car, the solution of DM-i AWD (cash DM-p) is indeed better than the solution with gearbox. However, as an SUV, I still think that a gearbox is needed to add a heavy insurance to poetry and the distance.

In fact, from the change of naming, we can also see the internal entanglement of BYD. If the technical scheme of early DM-p was determined, there would not be such a freak as AWD on Song Plus DM-I. Maybe just call it
DM-P. I guess, when Song PLUS DM-i AWD was released, BYD didn’t deny that DM-p had a gearbox, and finally, for various reasons, it had to compromise with the market.

Fourth, high-cost solutions cut off the possibility of low prices.

Why does Tang DM-p need 215Km pure battery life? In fact, for most families, the average mileage of a year is 10,000 kilometers, and the average is only about 30Km kilometers per day. Therefore, it is enough to travel in the urban area with pure electricity for 80Km. Even if you run a little farther occasionally, the mileage of pure electricity is not enough. It is nothing more than using some oil. The long battery life is meaningless. But why do the pure battery life of Tang and Han DM-p exceed 200Km?

Because this is necessary for large motors, the battery pack must be large enough to support the voltage required for high power output of large motors! And the cost of the battery is real money, so the price of this generation of Tang Han is much more expensive than the previous generation. You can say it’s worth the money, but it’s not friendly to some friends with insufficient budget.

Fifth, the strength comparison of Tang DM-p products.

The above spit is mainly because I don’t agree with BYD’s technical route, butAs far as Tang DM-p is concerned, the improvement is still huge.. Even if it sells for more than 300 thousand, its product strength at this price is still the strongest, and the only thing that can compete with it is only.
DHT PHEV, plus 2021 Tang DM, we put the three cars together to compare the product strength.

1. compare mocha DHT PHEV:Mocha There are only two configurations of PHEV, one is the 252Km distinguished model equivalent to Tang DM-i, which has no advantage in price and battery life. The fast charge is only 60W, and it takes one hour to charge the battery to 80%. The advantage is that the power is better than that of Tang DM-i 252Km, which is 7.4 seconds, and Bitang DM-i’s performance of 8.5 seconds is more than one second faster. Compared with the two-drive version, it is obvious that the newly released Tang DM-i 252 honor is more worth buying.

The four-wheel drive version, which corresponds to Tang DM-p, is slightly inferior in power, but the gap between 4.8 seconds and 4.3 seconds does not make much sense for home use. Tang DM-p has longer battery life and stronger fast charge. The specific configuration is basically the same horizontal line, while Tang DM-p has a wide temperature range heat pump air conditioner, which has obvious advantages in winter endurance.

In addition, Mocha has five seats, while Tang provided seven-seat and six-seat versions.

Previously, my evaluation of Moka DHT PHEV was before the release of Tang DM-p, and it was 300,000 SUV with the highest cost performance, and there was no one. Sure enough, after the release of Tang DM-p, the most cost-effective 300,000 SUV was taken away.

2. Compare 21 Tang DM models.The price ranges of the two cars do not overlap, so they do not constitute direct competition. Tang DM has only two advantages. The first is its low price. Although it is a product of the previous generation, its performance is not weak. The second is that the oil and electricity systems are independent of each other, which is equivalent to double insurance. However, in other respects, it is definitely a penny for a penny. The pure battery life of Tang DM-p is 215Km. You may not need it, but the money is spent in place, and the surplus is better than nothing. Moreover, the power is insufficient and the fuel consumption is much lower than that of the same class fuel vehicle.

In addition, the biggest improvement is assisted driving. In the past, Tang DM’s assisted driving was only L2 level on the passing line, and the top models only had parallel auxiliary function. The new Tang DM-p has reached the level of quasi-L3, ACC adaptive cruise supports stop-and-go mode, forward and backward travel tips, blind spot monitoring, active lane keeping system, automatic parking in the whole scene … and the safety has also increased by one level.

The second is fast charging. Previously, the most popular voice of old riders was the fast charging function. For Tang DM with 80Km battery life, fast charging is of little significance, because no matter how fast it is filled, it can only run 80Km. However, for the pure battery life of 215Km, it is worthwhile to charge 80% in 20 minutes. 200Km requires 13L of oil. If it can be recharged, it can save more than 100 yuan of oil money.

Sixth, Tang DM-p, DM-i, DM and EV purchase suggestions.

1. It is recommended not to be obsessed with SUV. If it is only for urban transportation, I recommend Han DM-p more. The budget is more than 280 thousand,
More fragrant.

2, there is no demand for four-wheel drive, home to buy Tang DM-i 112Km battery life version, starting at 202,800, cheap is the last word! 112Km pure battery life is enough for most families. The long battery life of 252Km is 80 thousand expensive, which is highly recommended! If you have that budget, you might as well buy DM-P.

3. I want to buy a car after retirement in go on road trip, and I recommend 21 models of Tang DM on the grounds of double insurance. If you have enough budget and don’t go to too remote places, you can also choose Tang DM-p with fast charging, and the cost of comprehensive vehicles is lower.

4. Do not travel far, meet the needs of family cars,
Since you don’t travel far and drive in the city, the two drives will be enough. Unless you are in a northern city, you need to deal with icy roads. The battery life depends on your travel radius. There is no difference between 730Km and 500Km for a pure tram, only the difference between sufficient and insufficient.Make sure you don’t plan to drive long distances. EV smells better than DM-i and DM-p, although it is more expensive..

5. Tang DM-p configuration suggestionsPersonally, the most cost-effective one is the middle-equipped exclusive type, which has a lot more active safety configuration and comfort configuration than the low-equipped one, and can be equipped with a six-seat enjoyment combination suit, with a 2+2+2 seat layout for 10,000 yuan, and the second row of seats can be upgraded with ventilation, heating, massage and lumbar support, which is very cost-effective. Low matching is not recommended, and the loss of 20 thousand yuan difference is too much. The top matching mainly adds an active suspension, and supports full-scene automatic parking, Brembo brake calipers and differential locks. Of course, the budget is sufficient, but the cost performance is not higher than that of the middle matching model.

Write it at the endIn fact, Tang DM has basically reached the ultimate performance of family cars in the previous generation, so that it is difficult for the new model to achieve any substantive breakthrough. Moreover, although Tang is the flagship model of the dynasty family, it is not the top in BYD’s product system, the legendary high-end brand (starry sky? It is getting closer and closer to us, whether it is spit or disappointment, it must still be admitted that Tang DM-p is a 300,000-level SUV with the strongest product strength. Even if there is only a small step forward, it is also breaking through yourself.

　　[car home Experience] If you know anything about cars, when you hear the brand Volvo, what words will flash in your mind for the first time? Safe? Northern Europe? Keep a low profile? Taste? No matter what word crosses your eyes, I believe it will not be a description of sports, fashion and fashion. Yes, Volvo has always been a brand famous for its commitment to automobile safety technology. It comes from Sweden in northern Europe, but now it belongs to Ford, and its impression has always been low-key, unobtrusive and not so eye-catching. However, today’s red Volvo S40 may break your old impression.

　　Note: The model we experienced this time is Volvo S40 2.4i Zia version, which may be different from other models in terms of color, parameters and configuration.

● Appearance-at first glance, it is better to look carefully.

　　S40 is a compact model, which comes from Ford C1 platform. As many people know, the products of this platform include Focus and Mazda 3. The other two models are well-known for their manipulation and sports, and they are all the rage among young people. What about S40?

　　At first glance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is a red S40. This is not because I am a woman, so I like red, but because although almost all models will have red without exception, not all cars can look good in red. And I like the red color of this Volvo S40 very much, maybe it just fits my age and aesthetics.

　　At first glance, the front of S40 is straight and restrained, with simple lines, not very streamlined and round, and not very tough and masculine. The chrome-plated upper intake is not as exaggerated as the popular "big mouth", and the logo of "VOLVO" stands calmly in the middle, as if it is lacking. But just like the "second-eye beauty", after a few more eyes, you can find S40’s character from various details.

　　Two headlights with black edges are as bright and angry as the eyes of a "gourd doll", and the flat and ultra-wide lower air intake is slightly fierce. The most characteristic angle is from the front side. The headlights with black edges, the wide and flat lower grille with black, and the powerful engine compartment line are quoted to Fang Ping’s front face, which has a fierce lion’s head effect.

　　The joints between the hood and headlights are even and detailed, and there are no obvious defects. The welding spots on the side of the door are symmetrically distributed, and the treatment effect is also fine.

　　From the side, it can be found that the engine cabin line passes through the A-pillar all the way to the rear, which outlines a high waistline and dynamic shape, and directly intersects with the arc of the roof at the rear of the car, making the ending a little more movement and dexterity besides being angular and heavy.

　　S40’s tail line is straight, and the two stepped taillights create a sense of integrity with angular edges, which is also surrounded by a circle of black borders. Because there are no tiny lines and no excessive intersections and overlaps, the whole tail shape is quite simple, and the broad protrusions make the layers distinct. If the plump and rounded hip design of the car please men, perhaps the style like S40 can win the love of female consumers.

　　Generally speaking, the appearance of Volvo S40 left me with a unique impression. It is angular but not too straightforward, with personality but not very ostentatious, passionate but restrained, impulsive but secretly hidden.

● Interior-pure black interior+suspended center console

　　This red S40 2.4i Zia version is matched with a pure black interior, instead of gray or beige, which is always used in household models. The visual effect brought by the black interior is first of all a cool and sporty feeling, which is easy to arouse people’s desire to drive and control, unlike the light gray or beige interior, which will make people relax and bring a soothing and fresh feeling. From this perspective, S40 still takes more care of the individual needs of young consumers.

　　The steering wheel wrapped in leather is moderate in size, and the fineness and friction of leather are also very close. The multi-function keys on the left side of the steering wheel are used to operate cruise control, while the right side controls entertainment information, such as radio and CD.

　　The style of the dashboard is Volvo’s simple style, which looks only clear and easy to identify during the day, but the effect of luminous is still quite beautiful.

　　S40 has a well-known bright spot, that is, its floating center console. In recent years, with the popularity of various digital products such as thin and light mobile phones, I believe that this beautiful and lightweight center console made of matt metal panels can bring many young people a sense of satisfaction with fashion and scientific and technological effects.

　　There are four large knobs on the center console, which are used to control the audio and air conditioning, and the buttons are relatively small. From the perspective of the fineness of workmanship, we can’t help but draw a conclusion that we get what we pay for. Although the models developed on the same platform, it is obvious that Volvo S40’s internal material selection and workmanship level are far better than those of Fox and Mazda 3.

　　The keyhole is designed at the lower left of the air-conditioning outlet above the center console. The multi-function display screen has a relatively small area and displays conventional information such as air conditioning, sound and time. What is unsatisfactory is that the information display is actually in English. However, the adjustment of air-conditioning blowing mode is to separate a portrait to indicate that the style is more intuitive and novel.

　　The exterior rearview mirror can be adjusted electrically. If you want to fold it away, you need to press the L and R keys at the same time. The shape of the handbrake is also unique, and it also has a floating effect.

　　The cosmetic mirror on the sun visor is believed to be very popular with ladies. Both sides of the mirror are equipped with lighting, which makes the light sufficient and uniform, and the area of the mirror is also large, which is not as big as a matchbox on some models, and its practicality is still relatively high.

● Space-not bad for a compact car.

　　The body size of Volvo S40 is 4476×1770×1454mm, which is smaller in length, width and height than sedan Focus’s 4480×1840×1500mm, but the wheelbase of 2640mm is the same as that of Focus and Mazda 3. In the actual experience, we also feel that its internal space is still good.

　　Although S40 takes simplicity as its concept, there is no shortage of humanized design in the interior space, which is quite considerate. In addition to the conventional glove box, the storage compartment inside the car and the storage bag at the back of the front seat, there are elastic small storage bags at the front edges of the front and rear seats. Although the volume of the glove box is not very large, it is equipped with anti-skid pads to prevent the goods in the box from rolling and causing damage when the vehicle is driving.

　　In order not to waste space, a shallow storage compartment is set behind the suspended center console, but only some flat items can be placed, otherwise it will shake when driving. The biggest disadvantage is that the storage compartment inside the door is small and there is no special glasses case.

　　Although the S40 looks like a four-door hatchback, in fact, its short tail is not integrated, the trunk is still opened separately, and the floor in the trunk is flat and the area is not small.

　　It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the electric adjustment function mentioned above, the front passenger’s seat can also be tilted forward, and with the rear seat that can be tilted 4 minutes on the right side, it can create an access road for carrying extra-long strip items, which is unique and valuable in design. Unfortunately, after our efforts, because the front headrest can’t be adjusted, the front passenger seat is adjusted to the rearmost position, and the headrest will still be stuck in the glove box after the chair back is put down, and it can’t be completely flat.

　　In terms of driving space, we found a male editor with a height of 178CM and a weight of 75KG to demonstrate, and found that the front head space of S40 is quite abundant, and the performance of the rear leg space is OK, but the head space in the rear row is slightly cramped. If it is a tall man with a height of more than 180CM, it may feel a little oppressive. After all, it is only a compact car, and objectively speaking, the space performance is normal, reasonable and better.

● Seat-lumbar adjustment is influenced by the height of the seat, which is more suitable for women.

　　The driver’s seat and the driver’s seat are all electric 8-way adjustment and manual lumbar support adjustment. The driver’s seat has three sets of memory functions. As mentioned earlier, the driving space of S40 is not bad, but it must be mentioned that the length of the seat cushion is sacrificed to a certain extent. After our actual measurement, the depth of the front and rear cushions is 480mm, which is shorter than that of the front seats of general compact cars. Although the shape of the seat is very good, it is very suitable for women to ride, but if it is changed to men, the front edge of the seat cushion is designed as a sofa-like edge, which will just be supported in the middle of the thigh, and it feels very uncomfortable.

　　The adjustment knobs of manual lumbar support are located on both sides of the seat. If the driver or passenger is male, the seat will not be adjusted too high, and this knob will be sandwiched between the seat and the central armrest, which is extremely inconvenient to operate. However, if the driver or passenger is female, the seat will be adjusted to ensure sufficient sight. At this time, the adjustment of the lumbar support is relatively convenient, and the operation of turning around and twisting the arm is also more difficult for the fatter person.

　　S40’s leather seat leather is good, which makes people feel comfortable. I believe Volvo, which has always advocated car safety, has also spent a lot of thought on the seat design. The front headrest is fixed and cannot be adjusted, but the height and angle are ideal, which can suit the riding posture of most people. The height of the rear headrest can be adjusted vertically, and it can also be pulled out and removed.

● other

　　The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine is in-line with 5 cylinders, and it is matched with a five-speed manual/automatic geartronic gearbox, which has an adaptive speed change mode, can automatically adapt to the driver’s driving style, and has a good stable output.

　　The maximum power of 2.4i engine appears at 6000rpm, and it can also provide up to 170 horsepower. At 4400 rpm, the output torque reaches 230Nm. Such data will not be too laborious to push a body like S40.

　　When the engine compartment cover of S40 is opened, it is found that besides the normal sound insulation cotton, there is also an air duct leading from the air inlet to the battery. It seems that it should be used to cool the battery, but we don’t understand why it is designed like this for the time being. Later, we will contact Volvo to consult about the purpose of this design and give you a definite answer.

　　There are as many as 8 airbags in the whole vehicle, which can automatically control the inflation ratio and explosion speed according to the impact force, thus avoiding the secondary injury caused by airbags. WHIPS head and neck safety protection system can automatically lift the headrest when a high-speed rear-end collision occurs, and disperse the huge impact force generated during the collision to reduce the damage to the head, neck and spine of the occupants.

　　In addition, in order to reserve enough impact buffer zone, VOLVO not only greatly reduced the load of the self-designed miniaturized transverse engine, but also adopted a more compact engine compartment layout, and even the collapse route of the battery was arranged in advance during the collision, so it can minimize the damage to the occupants in the car during the collision.

　　Conclusion:In fact, the price of Volvo S40 far exceeds that of ordinary compact cars, which makes it not a family car that most ordinary families can afford. However, through this static experience, we can see that Volvo not only insists on the safety concept advocated, but also makes some adjustments in vehicle design. At least S40 can make people feel its fashion and modernity from the outside to the inside. From the aspects of exterior and interior, technical content, safety performance and configuration, S40 is suitable for those friends who have unique tastes and do not blindly pursue large size and large space and earn a good income.

　　After watching the static experience of Volvo S40, you must want to know more about its handling performance in actual driving. Don’t argue, the evaluation article of S40 will be presented by the evaluation team of car home this Thursday. Be sure to watch it on time!

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

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

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

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

Porsche to the left, Lotus to the right

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Join hands with Geely and deeply embrace the China market.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On January 30th, some netizens posted that the premium price of the high-end version of SU7, the first model of Xiaomi Automobile, was 361,400 yuan. The new car adopts ternary lithium battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, with a maximum speed of 265 km/h. Market news speculated that the final selling price of Xiaomi automobile may be in the range of 250,000 to 370,000.

In response to the above news, Xiaomi Automobile responded: "Unofficial news is not true." In addition, Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi Group’s public relations department, forwarded a message to Weibo, a netizen, and said that in recent days, internal vehicles began to be licensed, which was to test all the processes of running through sales and delivery, and buying insurance was also one of the links. In other words, it has no reference value.

Xiaomi SU7 is the first production car of Xiaomi Automobile, which was released on December 28th, 2023, Xiaomi Automobile Technology Day. On Xiaomi Auto Technology Day, Lei Jun spent about three hours explaining technologies such as large die casting, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, and the design of Xiaomi’s first production model, but he didn’t talk about the price and kept it highly confidential, which also became the biggest suspense of Xiaomi.

In fact, since the release of Xiaomi Automobile, the price of Xiaomi Automobile has always been the focus of the industry. How much is the pricing for "Xiaomi Auto SU7"? When will it be announced? " Earlier, Xiaomi Auto officially replied, "We really haven’t finalized the price. Mr. Lei, the founder of Xiaomi, also introduced it at the Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference. It is indeed a bit expensive, but it will be’ expensive for a reason’. Not 99,000, not 149,000, not 199,000. The final pricing will be announced at the official launch conference of Xiaomi SU7. " Since then, Mr. Lei has also revealed that Xiaomi Su750,000 has no rivals. It is understood that Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a "C-class high-performance eco-technology car", which provides dual-motor version and single-motor version. The single-motor version is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 220 kW; The dual-motor version is equipped with a front and rear dual-motor system, in which the maximum power of the front motor is 220kW and the maximum power of the rear motor is 275kW.

Not long ago, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, also said in an interview with the media that the pricing of Xiaomi’s first model may be a bit expensive, equivalent to the performance of two or three million luxury cars, and reiterated that the pricing of Xiaomi’s first model will not be 99,000 yuan, 149,000 yuan, 199,000 yuan.

Judging from the product configuration announced by Xiaomi Technology Day, the positioning of Xiaomi SU7 is not low, which means that its price cannot be too low. It should be noted that in recent years, the automobile market has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially since 2023, the automobile price war has intensified, and the price has also become a key link in the competition between automobile enterprises.

For Lei Jun, who "staked all his assets and reputation and started his last business in his life", he has high hopes for Xiaomi Automobile. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi automobile has the performance index that is not inferior to Tesla Model S, and the three indexes of 0-100km/h acceleration, 100km/h-0 braking distance and top speed are not backward, and bluntly said that Xiaomi SU7 has no accurate benchmarking vehicle, and it hopes to be comparable to Porsche Taycan Turbo in mechanical quality such as drivability, and to be comparable to Tesla Model S in intelligence.

As for the follow-up goal of Xiaomi Automobile, Lei Jun’s ambition is to become one of the top five automakers in the world. Lei Jun said: "The goal of Xiaomi Automobile is to rival Porsche and Tesla, to build dream cars in the new era of automobile industry, and to make a beautiful, easy-to-drive, comfortable and safe mobile intelligent space." The goal of autonomous driving is to enter the first camp of the industry in 2024. In addition, Lei Jun also stressed that today is 1003 days since Xiaomi announced its entry into the electric vehicle industry. Starting from the underlying core technology, Xiaomi has invested ten times to make a good car, and its long-term goal is to strive to become one of the top five automobile manufacturers in the world in the next 15-20 years. It is worth mentioning that the homogenization of 200,000-300,000 models in today’s auto market is very serious, and the competition is particularly fierce, which also means that Xiaomi Auto will face a lot of pressure after listing.

Lei Jun said in an interview before: "I am particularly worried that everyone will not buy if it doesn’t catch fire. What’s more worrying is that if everyone buys, they will have to wait for a year or two, and they will definitely be scolded." Whether Xiaomi SU7 can be accepted by the market or whether consumers are willing to pay for it is still unknown because the price is to be determined. But from this point of view, the final decision on how Xiaomi SU7 will perform in the auto market may still depend on Lei Jun’s highly confidential price. According to the plan, the final pricing of Xiaomi SU7 will be announced at the official launch conference of the car.
