[car home News] Although the past 2018 was not a "good year" for many brands, for BYD, which has been deeply rooted in the field of new energy, this brand still maintained a high growth rate in the case of cold car market last year. Judging from the published data, BYD sold a total of 520,700 vehicles throughout the year, up 27.09% year-on-year. Among them, there are 247,800 new energy vehicles and 272,900 fuel vehicles, basically achieving an equal share of new energy and fuel vehicles. From the brand sales data, this achievement is still very good in the case of weak automobile market last year.

　　In the next 2019, BYD will have many new cars on the market. After our combing, BYD will launch three new energy vehicles, including (|)EV 600, Song MAX DM and e1(F0 EV). In addition, S1, Song and brand-new large and medium-sized riders will also join the battle. Let’s take a look at these new cars together.

● Song MAX DM

Time to market: within 2019
New car features: the styling design has been upgraded/the comprehensive torque is 740 Nm.

　　The plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX has made a lot of noise last year, and this car will be officially launched this year. After the new car adopts plug-in hybrid technology, the highest comprehensive torque reaches an astonishing 740 Nm, and the appearance is slightly different from that of the gasoline version, and the interior part is more scientific and technological.

　　In appearance, the design of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX is different from that of the gasoline version. For example, the style of the front grille will change, and the shape of the fog lighting strips on both sides will be slightly different. At the same time, this car is also equipped with multi-spoke wheels. The charging port of the car is located on the right rear fender.

　　In the interior part, this plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a rotatable large-size screen used in the official map earlier, which is more scientific and technological. In terms of details, the "Song" logo on the steering wheel of the plug-in hybrid version has become a blue font, and it also uses the same electronic gear as Song DM, which is very high-grade. In the back row, we can see that the car is equipped with rear air conditioning control buttons, 220V power supply, USB interface and so on.

　　In terms of power, the new car uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and at the same time, it is equipped with front and rear dual motors. The maximum power of both motors is 110 kW and the maximum torque is 250 Nm. The comprehensive power and torque of the power system are 333kW and 740N·m respectively.

● Song MAX EV

Time to market: within 2019
New car features: different design/pure electric drive

　　This year, apart from the plug-in hybrid model, Song MAX is expected to launch. We also learned from the application information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that BYD has declared the pure electric version of Song MAX, a 6/7-seat MPV model with hot sales in the current market. This model inherits the family design of the fuel version, and the exterior design is only different in the middle net and the lower enclosure.

　　BYD Song MAX pure electric version has a body size of 4680*1810*1680mm and a wheelbase of 2785, which is completely consistent with the fuel version. The front face still uses the "Dragon Face" family design language. The difference from the fuel version lies in the design of the middle net, which adopts the plate array shape similar to armor, and the chrome-plated horizontal stripes in the fog light area are also slightly different from the fuel version. Tyre size is 225/50 R18, and the rim adopts ten-spoke slender stripe shape.

　　In terms of optional configuration, it is known that sunroof, luggage rack, keyless entry, lane keeping, privacy glass, panoramic image, side air curtain, wheel core cover, etc. will be installed on different versions of vehicles as optional accessories. In addition, we also see from the application information that the car is rated to carry 6/7 passengers, so it can be inferred that the car may launch two versions of 6-seat and 7-seat like a fuel car.

　　In terms of power, the pure electric version of BYD Song MAX will use a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a peak power of 120kW, and the power battery will use a ternary lithium battery with a maximum speed of 150 km/h. We know that BYD will digitally mark the cruising range of pure electric vehicles at the rear, but from the pictures provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is difficult to determine whether the car is EV500 or EV600.

　　Although Song MAX’s plug-in hybrid model is based on the gasoline version, it has been greatly improved in terms of vehicle performance. If nothing else, the comprehensive torque of 740 Nm alone is enough to join the "sports car" club, and its arrival is a boon for consumers who have certain requirements for vehicle performance. As for the pure electric version, BYD’s pure electric drive technology is also quite mature, so there is no need to worry about technology, and it is expected to have a good performance.

　　Combined with the information of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX and pure electric vehicles exposed this time, they will undoubtedly drop a blockbuster in the domestic MPV market after their launch. After all, hybrid or new energy MPVs are rare in the market, and BYD’s move will certainly enhance its competitiveness in the MPV model market.

● Tang EV
Time to market: February 2019
New car features: BYD SUV and new energy SUV product series flagship/Roewe and other brands are direct competitors.

　　Tang’s car is in the limelight in the new car market in 2018. In addition to the fuel version and plug-in hybrid version that have already been listed, the pure electric drive Tang EV model was also launched in June 2018, and it was opened at the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2018. Pre-sale,The pre-sale price range is 260,000-360,000 yuan.0-100km/h takes 4.5 seconds.

　　As a new member of the Tang family, the biggest change in the design of Xintang EV comes from the grille. The brand-new matrix grille is consistent with the concept car of the previous dynasty, and its shape is like the armor of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses. At the same time, the front side of the car is surrounded by larger chrome decoration and its shape is sharper.

　　Viewed from the side, the side of the new car is consistent with the DM version, and adopts the hidden C-pillar and D-pillar design. It is worth mentioning that the car will be equipped with 265/40 R22 horse brand tires and Brembo’s six-piston calipers. It is difficult to see the difference between the tail shape and the Tang DM version, and the taillight group still uses integrated LED light source.

　　In terms of interior modeling, the interior of BYD Tang EV is consistent with the DM version of Tang, and the whole is very simple. The rotatable central control screen and full LCD instrument panel still appear on the new car, and the shift lever is replaced by an electronic gear lever. It is understood that the car will provide 2+3+2 and 2+3 seat layouts for consumers to choose from in the future.

　　In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180 kW (245 HP). According to the application information, the new car will launch three kinds of endurance models: EV500, EV550 and EV600.

　　In the field of new energy, BYD is undoubtedly the leader of China brand car companies. After years of research and development, the plug-in hybrid technology of this enterprise has now entered the third generation product cycle, which is not only updated in technology, but also better in function and reliability. Pure electric vehicles have always been BYD’s main direction, so the arrival of Tang EV is not abrupt. It’s just that the pre-sale price of this new car up to 360,000 yuan after listing may discourage some consumers who pay attention to it. After all, there are plenty of options in this price range. Therefore, it also means that it has to face more pressure from competitors, but with the help of national policies and BYD’s own strength, I believe this car will have this good market prospect.

● Brand-new medium and large cars
Launch time: or in 2019
New car features: BYD’s new product sequence/expected to be adopted.

　　Speaking of the models in BYD’s product sequence, medium and large cars have always been the products that everyone is looking forward to. As early as 2015, there was news that BYD was developing a new medium and large car. According to BYD’s naming method, this car is likely to be named "Han".

　　At present, the specific shape of this car has not been exposed, but according to the information we obtained, BYD Han’s body length, width and height are 4950/1890/1490mm and the wheelbase is 2940mm, which is likely to be positioned as a medium-sized and large car. In other words, it will be the flagship model of BYD car products after its launch.

"Tesla model sp90d"

　　What is more noteworthy is that this car is equipped with a stronger plug-in hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0T engine and a 150 HP motor, while the four-wheel drive version will also use a 476 HP motor at the rear axle. Under such a powertrain blessing, BYD Han’s 0-100km/h acceleration time is expected to reach 2.9 seconds, reaching the same level as Tesla MODEL S P90D.

　　In addition, in terms of configuration, according to the information that has flowed out, this car is expected to be equipped with ACC adaptive cruise, electric suction door, head-up display, lane keeping assistance, electric rear spoiler, trunk that can be opened by induction, etc. Generally speaking, it is rich.

　　Although in recent years, China brands like to get together to release products in the SUV market, the car market can’t be ignored. As long as there are good products, there is no need for consumers to recognize them. BYD’s new generation Qin, which was listed soon, is such an example. Looking at BYD’s layout in the car market, the existing models are still concentrated in the field of compact cars. When it comes to medium and large cars, this brand has not been involved for the time being, but this level of models can play a role in enhancing the brand image and has a positive effect on the establishment of consumer confidence. Establishing the flagship product is the only way for a car company that wants to build a better brand, so we also expect this car to meet with you in recent years.

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.

Autobots’ platform

　　Xinhua News Agency, Shenzhen, October 11th (Reporter Zhou Ke) "Like a single 0.5— Two dollars, 80 to 150 dollars a day. No problem. Free time, unlimited quantity, more pay for more work, daily salary, no deposit, no membership fee … …” Recently, messages claiming to recruit likes from Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker appeared in WeChat group and QQ group, which attracted the attention of many netizens. Shenzhen police reminded that this is a new type of online part-time scam similar to "swipe fraud" on Taobao, and the scammer just shifted his position from "Taobao" to "Tik Tok" and other software, with the purpose of cheating money.

　　According to the police, this kind of recruitment claims that the job content is to double-click the works of users such as Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker designated by the merchants to help them become popular. However, in practice, in order to make the deceived people fall for it, the swindlers deliberately let them pay attention to a Tik Tok first, try to "brush" a single order, and then let the deceived people send the promotion information to other groups to "help promote" in the name of avoiding membership fees. In addition, if you temporarily pay 118 yuan to buy the activation code, the deceived person can also enjoy the VIP rights for life. However, after paying 118 yuan, the swindler will guide the deceived person into another group and pay other fees.

　　The police said that in terms of the modus operandi of these fraud cases, criminals used the curiosity and greed of the deceived people to attract fans through the newly popular "Tik Tok", "Aauto Quicker" and "Watermelon Video" apps, and asked the deceived people to pay by scanning the QR code, issuing red envelopes, transferring money, etc. Once they cheated money, they immediately blacked out the deceived people. From the former "courier typist", "novel typist" and "part-time brush list" to the present variant "Tik Tok praise clerk", the routine behind the fancy renovation is always the same, just to cheat money.

　　At the same time, the police reminded that this kind of fraud has a large audience, a wide spread and strong confusion. Netizens should raise their awareness of self-prevention, don’t trust videos with marketing and money on short video platforms such as "Tik Tok" and "Aauto Quicker", and don’t easily transfer money to the other party. If they find that they have been cheated, they should call the police immediately.

In terms of power, the King Kong Gun (parameter picture) is equipped with a power combination of 2.0T+6MT, and the GW4C20B gasoline engine is mature and reliable, with a peak torque of 360N·m, and the high-power version of GW4D20M diesel engine has a peak torque of 400 N m. This mature power system has been tested by the market and has outstanding reliability.

A few days ago, another brand-new product based on the same platform of the Great Wall Gun, the fashionable commercial pickup truck King Kong Gun, was listed in Hebei Province.

King Kong cannon has two kinds of power, gasoline and diesel, and there are many different versions of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with gasoline models starting at 88,800 yuan and diesel models starting at 95,800 yuan.

The above price is the standard box model price, and the long box model is added with 2000 yuan;

Entrepreneurial and elite models of long box models can be equipped with flat-bottomed containers, and on this basis, 2,000 yuan will be added;

Pilot limited optional package: including "LED headlights +360 panoramic image", with an optional price of 2000 yuan.

In addition, King Kong Gun also provides car buyers with five exclusive rights: financial gift, replacement gift, interconnection gift, recommendation gift and worry-free gift.

King Kong Gun adopts the design concept of "minimalist aesthetics", which is simple and tough as a whole, and offers five body colors: dream blue, worry-free white, bold horizontal black, enterprising gray and struggle brown.

For the interior, the high-definition LCD dual floating screen is matched with intelligent voice control, and the FOTA online upgrade function can upgrade some in-vehicle functions.

King Kong cannon has three kinds of containers: standard box, long box and flat bottom. The long box model has a 1.82-meter super-large container. The intimate design of low cargo platform and container lighting shows the profound insight of Great Wall Gun to pickup truck users. The turning diameter of 11.9 meters makes the King Kong gun more flexible in turning and turning around.

The soaring oil price has once again attracted everyone’s attention. In many places, the unit price of 92# gasoline has exceeded 8 yuan/liter, and the voice of "can’t afford to add oil" is getting higher and higher. As an SUV owner, looking at the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers up from 10 liters on the meter, the idea of starting a new energy vehicle has become stronger and stronger. Recently, four new energy SUVs have attracted my attention, hoping to give some reference to friends who also want to start new energy vehicles.

Byd yuan PLUS

BYD’s achievements in the field of new energy are obvious to all, and the explosive models launched are also continuous. BYD Yuan PLUS, which attracted widespread attention last year when it carried out preheating publicity. Different from the other derivative models of BYD Yuan Series, Yuan PLUS’s body size has been fully upgraded, with the length, width and height reaching 4455x1875x1615mm and the wheelbase of 2720mm respectively, and the vehicle positioning has also been upgraded to a compact SUV.

The appearance of yuanplus adopts BYD’s latest family-style appearance, which is more recognizable, and the rear of the car adopts penetrating taillights to enhance the layering and fashion sense of the rear. The design language of the interior is refreshing. The inspiration for the shape of the air outlet and the shape of the handrails on both sides of the door is said to come from musical instruments, but for users of different ages, the acceptance may be different. In terms of power and endurance, which everyone is most concerned about, YuanPlus is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 150kW, and lithium iron phosphate batteries with capacities of 49.92 kWh and 60.48 kWh, respectively. The cruising range under CLTC conditions is 430km and 510km, respectively, and the subsidized guiding price is 13.18-159,800 yuan. From the point of view of price and positioning, BYD Yuan PLUS will become a competitor of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an Y, Nezha U and Tucki G3.

Bound M5

Wenjie M5 is a brand-new product jointly built by Huawei and Jin Kang Celeste. The new car adopts extended-range power, and the fuel-electric driving mode makes it no longer have mileage anxiety. As the first vehicle equipped with Huawei HarmonyOS in-vehicle system, users have high expectations for the performance of the in-vehicle system. Wenjie M5 uses a 1.5T four-cylinder engine as the range extender, and its power configuration has three versions: 272 horsepower, 428 horsepower and 496 horsepower. Except for the entry-level version, it is a rear-drive model, and the others are all four-wheel drive models. All models are equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 40 degrees, and support 0.75 hours of fast charging.

The Wujie M5 is positioned in a medium-sized SUV, and there are not many bright spots in the design. The design language is particularly concise, with the dimensions of length, width and height of 4770x1930x1625mm and the wheelbase of 2880mm, respectively. The interior space of the car is considered medium in its class. At present, there are not many extended-range power models on the market. Li ONE is the best seller at present, and its six-seat large space is one of its biggest selling points. The second is Lantu FREE. The price of the M5 in the world is 24.98-31.98 million yuan, which overlaps with the positioning of the first two. It is not easy to break through the tight encirclement, but with the technical blessing of Huawei, everything is still unknown.

Mocha DHT-PHEV

The listing of Mocha DHT-PHEV means that hybrid power will become the development focus of Great Wall Motor in the new energy field in the future. The appearance of Moka DHT-PHEV is very close to that of the fuel version, and the dimensional parameters are basically the same, with the length, width and height of 4875x1960x1690mm and the wheelbase of 2915mm respectively.

The biggest highlight of this new car is the powertrain. Moka DHT-PHEV is equipped with a 1.5T engine, which adopts special technologies such as Miller cycle and high-temperature VGT pressurization, which can effectively improve engine efficiency. There are two models on the market this time, two-wheel drive with 130kW motor and front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive with a total power of 265kW, which are matched with 2-speed DHT (special gearbox for hybrid power). It is said that the comprehensive fuel consumption under WLTC is as low as 1L/100km, and the price is 295,000 yuan and 315,000 yuan respectively. Compared with the fuel version, the pricing is greatly increased, and the fuel version of Mocha is cold in the market. Wei Jianjun blames the poor marketing. Whether it can make a breakthrough in the plug-in hybrid vehicle with a comprehensive upgrade of power and fuel consumption is still very exciting.

Xing tu Zhu feng ET-i

Chery has also begun to catch up in the field of hybrid power. In January this year, it launched the Tiggo 8PLUS Kunpeng e+, which is the first new car equipped with plug-in hybrid power in Chery SUV series. The high-end brand Xingtu also launched the Chasing Wind ET-i equipped with the same powertrain. It is expected that this powertrain will be carried to more models under Chery. Compared with the fuel version, the appearance of Star Road Chasing Wind ET-i has hardly changed. The design language is simple and fashionable, and the body lines are tough, which is in line with its own positioning.

The powertrain of Star Road Chasing Wind ET-i consists of a 1.5T engine and a motor with a total power of 125kW. The comprehensive power of the system reaches 240kW, and the comprehensive torque reaches 510Nm, with excellent performance in power parameters. It is matched with a 3-speed DHT (special gearbox for hybrid power). At the same time, the car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack of 19.27kWh, and the cruising range under NEDC working conditions is 105km. The official claims that the fuel consumption is only 4.8L/100km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 1.0L/100km. The guide price of ET-i is only 14.98-15.98 million yuan, which looks very attractive.

2022 is destined to be a year of sustained and rapid growth of new energy. The above four SUVs cover three mainstream powertrain forms in the field of new energy vehicles: pure electric, extended range and plug-in hybrid power. Which model do you think has the best chance to become an explosion? Welcome to express your opinion in the comments. (Text/Yu Feng)

Following the "explosion" conference at the end of March, Xiaomi Automobile ushered in a traffic feast. At 16: 00 on April 18th, Lei Jun started the live broadcast on time at Beijing Xiaomi Automobile Delivery Center.

This is the first time that Lei Jun started a live broadcast for Xiaomi Automobile. Three years ago, when Lei Jun premiered in Tik Tok, it was the tenth anniversary of Xiaomi. He took products such as "Biography of Xiaomi", "Walk the Line" and Xiaomi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition, and at the same time, he had a heart-to-heart chat with rice noodle friends.

This live broadcast has its own traffic, and the number of viewers quickly exceeded 100,000+,and the number of likes quickly exceeded 100 million. At the beginning of the live broadcast, viewers also sent gift special effects to Lei Jun, and later the gift-giving function was quickly turned off.

"Lei Jun’s legs are quite thin." "Raytheon, I’m coming!" "I also want to take a photo with Lei Jun", "Did Lei always grab Huawei Pura 70" and other comments, constantly refreshing, verifying everyone’s intimacy with Lei Jun.

"It is too early to talk about the success of Xiaomi Automobile"

"Xiaomi Automobile has been released for 20 days, and it is too early to talk about success." Lei Jun said during the live broadcast that Xiaomi SU7 was so hot that I was afraid every day. Under the public beta, every detail was looked at with a magnifying glass. Now I’m a little more nervous, because Xiaomi SU7 has held on to "One Million People in YEATION".

"Of course, Xiaomi is now a success in the first stage. The cycle of building a car is particularly long, and we need to continue to do it seriously. " Lei Jun said.

Whether before or after the release, the popularity of Xiaomi SU7 has remained high, which is not a small order of magnitude higher than that of other car companies. The latest data obtained by the reporter was as of April 3, when Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, announced at the first delivery ceremony of Xiaomi SU7 that the number of Xiaomi cars had exceeded 100,000, and the number of locks had exceeded 40,000. This is a burst in the context of particularly fierce market competition faced by cars with a price range of 215,900-299,900.

In the experience center, Lei Jun introduced in the live broadcast. On the whole, for Xiaomi SU7, the favorite color of girls is Xiaguang purple, and the favorite color of boys is elegant gray; Xiaomi believes that the most cracked color is lava orange. "For the question of what color to choose, listen to your wife." Lei Jun quipped.

"It’s not good to compare me with Musk."

Because there are few live broadcasts, there are still some areas to be improved, such as the occasional echo of the microphone.

However, the live broadcast as a whole continued Lei Jun’s consistent "customer thinking" and cordial style. For example, in the delivery center, Lei Jun had a cordial conversation with the owner’s children and asked where to go to school; Ask the female car owner why she chose Xiaguang Purple; Ask the doctor what major the car owner is studying; Take the initiative to invite customers to take photos and so on.

Why is the proportion of female owners of Xiaomi Automobile high? Lei Jun said that on the one hand, the company has many female engineers; On the other hand, basic functions such as sun protection, storage and good-looking directly hit the pain points of female customers; In addition, many female car owners have used Mijia eco-chain products before and know something about Xiaomi.

During the live broadcast, Lei Jun answered the question "Why did Xiaomi build a car in three years?". He explained that Xiaomi had accumulated the foundation of intelligent manufacturing in the past, and Xiaomi’s R&D budget this year was 24 billion yuan, so it took three years to build a car instead of just three years.

Consistent with expectations, Lei Jun once again introduced innovative technologies such as Xiaomi Super Die Casting in the live broadcast, and introduced that there are hundreds of robots in the factory. Lei Jun revealed that in the future, he plans to open the Xiaomi factory to ordinary citizens step by step.

For the long delivery time, Lei Jun responded that Xiaomi’s preparation should refresh various records of domestic cars. The company has achieved the release and delivery, and the delivery is the quantity. The core problem is that the sales volume is 3-5 times higher than the company expected. "The company held a supplier meeting a few days ago, and the company will improve delivery step by step as soon as possible."

In the live broadcast, Lei Jun also refuted the identity of "the first man in Shuangwen". He said, "I am at the bottom of my life, and there is no cold 4 billion in Cary", "I have never won the college entrance examination" and so on. Lei Jun said frankly, "Many people say that I am a billionaire, and I have never counted (my own assets). Success in life depends not on cool writing, but on dreams, struggle and help from noble people. "

When talking about the benchmark Musk, Lei Jun responded, "Musk is a great entrepreneur. What I do with him is not exactly the same, so it is not easy to compare. But we have all helped popularize science and technology and promoted social progress. "

"Traffic Times" of Car Factory

Lei Jun emphasized in the live broadcast that Xiaomi can’t be treated as a car factory, but the whole ecology of people and cars, and the core is a technology company. However, Lei Jun’s marketing strategy for Xiaomi Automobile is even more talked about by the market.

As of today’s live broadcast, Lei Jun Tik Tok has more than 17.9 million fans. On Weibo, there are more than 23 million fans, with an average of more than one Weibo a day, to protect the traffic.

Under the leadership of Lei Jun, Xiaomi, including Lu Weibing, Xu Fei and many other senior executives, have also launched short video and other platforms. These flows gathered together during the release of Xiaomi SU7, which together constituted the key boost for the realization of Xiaomi SU7 market.

This kind of "traffic marketing" has affected countless drivers in the car circle.

According to the public information, Yin Tongyue, the chairman of Chery, personally tested the long-distance, high-speed and high-order intelligent driving ability of Star Era ET; Wei Jianjun, Chairman of Great Wall Motor, opened his first personal live show, and showed the whole scene NOA； of Great Wall Motor without high-precision map. Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Yue, and Li Yanhong, CEO of Baidu, got on the bus and experienced the latest Extreme Yue 01 … These live broadcasts not only narrowed the distance between the car factory and the users, but also showed their product experience intuitively to the users.

At the Guangzhou Auto Show not long ago, Geely Automobile officially released its Star Yue L hybrid version. On the basis of maintaining the design of the Star Yue L fuel version, the new car has been adjusted for some details. The biggest highlight is that it is equipped with Geely Automobile’s new Lei Shenqing Hi·X hybrid system for the first time. It is reported that the new car will be officially listed in the first half of next year.

A few days ago, we got a set of spy photos of the Star Yue L mixed version from relevant channels. Combined with the previous declaration map and official map, we can have a general understanding of the appearance of the new car. The changes of the Star Yue L hybrid version and the Star Yue fuel version are mainly concentrated in the front face. The straight waterfall air intake grille has been replaced with a fish-scale texture structure, and the textures on both sides of the grille can also be lit, and a luminous Geely LOGO is added.

At the same time, the lower enclosure is decorated with black and the same color as the body instead of the previous through chrome trim, and the large-size diversion grooves on both sides look more combative.

In terms of body size, the declared length, width and height of the new car are 4770/1895/1689mm and the wheelbase is 2845mm, which is consistent with the fuel version. The rear of the car still occupies the whole visual center of gravity with penetrating taillights. The difference is that the shape of the rear enclosure has been adjusted to echo the front face, and the "GHS" logo has been added at the tail mark in the lower right corner to show the identity of the hybrid car.

In the car, we guess that the new car should also continue the design layout of the fuel version, adopt the interior color matching of two-color mix and match, and form an integrated screen with a length of 1 meter with full LCD instrument+central control screen+co-pilot entertainment display, occupying the whole visual center of gravity, showing a strong luxury technology atmosphere.

The power part is the biggest highlight of the new car. The Xingyue L hybrid version is equipped with Geely’s brand-new Lei Shenqing Hi·X hybrid system, which consists of a 1.5TD hybrid engine+motor +DHT Pro transmission. Among them, the maximum power of the engine is 110 kW, the peak torque is 225 Nm, the thermal efficiency is as high as 43.32%, and the coverage rate of the high-efficiency area is close to 50%. The matching DHT Pro transmission has three gears.

According to the official, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Xingyue L 100 kilometers equipped with this hybrid system can be as low as 4.3 liters, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.9 seconds, and the maximum cruising range of 1300 kilometers can be achieved. However, the final performance still needs to wait for the follow-up actual test to be revealed.

Since its release, Xingyue L has attracted the attention of consumers with its leapfrog body size, rich configuration and Volvo powertrain. After its listing in July this year, it has achieved very eye-catching sales results. For reference, the price range of the fuel version of the Star Yue L is 137,200-185,200 yuan. If the future Star Yue L hybrid version can also give a price with enough sincerity, I believe that the new car should have a relatively good market competitiveness.

CCTV News:Speaking of Hua Tuo, everyone must be familiar with it. It is said that this imperial doctor in the Three Kingdoms period has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate the disease. In the Capital Aerospace Machinery Company under the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, there is also a "doctor Hua Tuo". However, this doctor is not a doctor, but an old technician who repairs machine tools. He is Yang Jingde.

Yang Jingde, born in 1937, is a national senior technician, graduated from Shanghai Aviation Industry School (formerly "East China 250 Technical School"), and is one of the earliest military industry technicians trained in New China. At the age of 18, he was assigned to Nanyuan Aviation Repair Factory, today’s Capital Aerospace Machinery Company, and began to deal with cold machine tools.

Now, Nanyuan Aviation Repair Factory has developed into a base for the batch production and development of missiles and rockets in China. From green to old, Yang Jingde never left. He used his life’s wisdom and years to interpret his persistence in the space dream.

Another kind of "magic doctor": "looking, hearing and asking" to repair machine tools

In the 1950s, China’s space industry was still in its infancy, and the conditions were very difficult. Nanyuan aviation repair shop has only a total of hundreds of equipment, all of which are hand-operated machine tools. Yang Jingde doesn’t even have a desk in her dormitory.

However, Yang Jingde was never afraid of hardships, and especially loved to study hard, seizing every opportunity and time to learn advanced technology. Because of his outstanding performance, he was also sent to learn the maintenance of precision machine tools from Soviet experts. For this reason, he made every effort to cherish this hard-won learning opportunity.

At that time, Yang Jingde, who was very young, was already quite famous in the factory. Years of study and research and tempering on the production line have enabled him to practice a stunt: "looking, smelling, asking and cutting" the equipment like an old Chinese doctor.

The oil on the equipment guide rail is more or less, clear or turbid. Yang Jingde can tell the cause of the fault with his eyes.

He can also "listen" to the fault. A few years ago, a British imported equipment was abnormal. Yang Jingde went to the front of the machine tool, leaned down, listened to the noise of the equipment, and then felt the temperature and rotation frequency of the equipment with his hands. The roar in the workshop was extremely noisy, but it did not affect his judgment at all, and he found the "lesion" in a few times.

What’s more, there is another trick, "sound detection from a distance", which makes everyone have to admire the superb skills of this old technician.

One year, Yang Jingde had just finished gallstone surgery, and one of the equipment in the unit was broken. In order not to affect the production, he walked out of the hospital and went back to the workshop for a day. Until he found the cause of the equipment failure and solved the problem, the young comrades of the rest of the equipment could do it by themselves, and he dragged his tired body home. Who knows that at 9 o’clock in the evening, my colleague called and said that the machine that had just been repaired had broken down again. In desperation, he can only instruct the on-site personnel by telephone remote control: "You put your mobile phone next to the machine and I will listen." He vaguely heard the irregular noise in the roar of the machine.

"You put ‘ Lead screw ’ Clean it and see if there is anything extra. " Yang Jingde said.

After the maintenance master took down the "lead screw", he found that there was indeed something superfluous in it. It was aluminium scrap who wore the ball of the "lead screw", which caused the equipment to malfunction. Clean it and reinstall it. Problem solved!

Lay the foundation for your dream with your aerospace peers.

"On October 1, 1997, I began to enter the stage of re-employment, and the specific work was as follows … …” It can be seen from a yellowed Production Task Record Book that this old technician can retire 19 years ago. At that time, Yang Jingde was famous for his stunts, and many units wanted to hire him. The boss of a company came three times and offered him 5000 yuan a month. One company even said, "The salary is up to you, and you are hired as a consultant, so you don’t have to work."

At that time, the salary of rehiring old experts in the factory was 500 yuan per month. Before retiring, the factory leader only said to Yang Jingde: "The factory can’t live without you." He nodded without hesitation.

"I was trained in the factory. Everything I have is given by the factory. I can’t be ungrateful." Yang Jingde said. Not for fame, not for profit, Yang Jingde is like a rock. This firmness is the infinite loyalty of this old technician to the aerospace industry.

After rehiring, the leader always told Yang Jingde that he didn’t have to come to work every day, so call him if he had any questions. But he is still not at ease, coming every day.

Selfless and earnest attitude, marvelous machine repair technology, Yang Jingde has saved a lot of money and made progress for the factory over the years.

In the summer of 2014, an imported machine tool broke down seriously, and there was no maintenance capacity in China, so it had to return to the country of origin, with a maintenance cost of more than 1.3 million yuan and a cycle of at least 3 months. This is a high-precision machine tool, and no one dares to touch it. Yang Jingde looked at it and said, "It can be repaired!"

As a result, 77-year-old Yang Jingde stooped and got in and out of the equipment every day, sweating and working for 20 days. Finally, the machine tool was repaired with only 150,000 yuan. Yang Jingde not only saved "foreign equipment", but also saved more than one million yuan in maintenance costs for the factory. This shocked the original manufacturers.

In 2015, Yang Jingde was 78 years old. Considering his age, the company leaders were really worried about his physical condition, so they ended their re-employment. However, he is still the same as before, and the unit is responsive and has no words.

The old man who repaired machines walked with the aerospace industry all the way, and every progress of this career condensed his life’s hard work and pursuit. He is a witness and a founder. (Text/Liu Chang)
