  Xuanyuan Award was jointly sponsored by auto business review and Austrian EFS in 2013, adhering to the "three independences" award criteria, which are independent of business, power and relationship. Experts from all over the world selected China’s automobile of the year, looking for the contribution samples of China’s automobile industry, thus pushing the new automobile forward.

  75 models were declared. After the initial evaluation, 40 finalists gathered in Wuhan Intelligent Networked Vehicle Test Site. After four rigorous tests and tests of static and dynamic, cockpit ecology and intelligent interaction, intelligent driving experience and scene experience, a total of 25 models entered the final evaluation.

  On December 15th, members of the jury of Xuanyuan Award made a final evaluation on 25 models, and the whole selection process was very heated.

  Dr. Jia Ke, director of Xuanyuan Award Executive Committee, editor-in-chief of auto business review and director of Xuanyuan School, said: "The judges can abstain from voting against all the winning models. As long as one judge votes against it, we will continue to discuss it until we come up with a list that everyone agrees on. Our review process is also a discussion process. In this discussion process, our understanding of the industry can be further deepened. "

  In the end, the winners of the 2024 Xuanyuan Award were grandly released.

  This year’s Xuanyuan Award ceremony added a new link, which is to share the highlights and trends of Xuanyuan Award products found in the annual evaluation with the industry.

  Professor Ma Jun, the judge of Xuanyuan Prize, School of Automobile and School of Design and Creativity of Tongji University, shared the "Development Trend of Intelligent Cockpit and New Method of Product Development". He believes that next year, the big model will be a battleground for military strategists, and car companies must do it. Focusing on the evaluation of user experience, human-computer interaction risk and security of large models, they are building an evaluation system for large models.

  Ni Kai, the judge of Xuanyuan Award, founder and CEO of Heduo Technology, published the Xuanyuan Award Intelligent Driving Test Report. This intelligent driving evaluation is divided into four categories: basic driving, advanced driving, basic parking and advanced parking. In terms of driving, the scores of new power brands, independent new brands and traditional independent brands are equal; In terms of parking, the new power brands and independent new brands have not shown their advantages. On the contrary, many traditional independent brands have achieved good results.

  Zhang Xiaoliang, the judge of Xuanyuan Award, founder and CEO of SoCar product strategy consulting, brought the trend sharing of Xuanyuan Award annual evaluation scene experience. He said, "From this year’s review, we have seen many things that we have never seen before. These things mean that we are making a new round of innovation in another direction. Whether these innovations must be logical or not will certainly stand the long-term test of the market. This will take some time to sort out and may bring more input to our core scenes and killer scenes in the next stage. "

  Du Fang, the representative of Xuanyuan Award test partner and director of Botai products, shared the Xuanyuan Award annual test of intelligent cockpit. This year’s overall trend is to face a more hard-core, more delicate and more interconnected scene experience, with enhanced scene capabilities and more technological and intelligent blessings. She also made some predictions about the future trend: the application of large-scale models in the automotive field will become a new trend next year, whether the multi-modal cockpit natural interaction will surpass the mobile phone-like interaction and become a better way of interaction, and the global integration of cockpit, intelligent driving and vehicle capabilities will bring great challenges.

  In 2024, the list of intelligent driving in the 11th Xuanyuan Awards was released simultaneously. At the same time, excellent cases of intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and scene experience were also revealed.

  There is also a very interesting link at the scene. According to the design characteristics of the TOP10 model of the 2024 Xuanyuan Award, EFS AI expert Minh Cao used AIGC to generate a set of concept car design drawings. In this regard, Wang Xuanzheng, a judge of the Xuanyuan Prize and a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, asked: "If all our designs are exactly the same as expected, what is the role of users in the whole system? Where should our emotions and personalities be placed? "

  Finally, he commented: "AI today, no matter what, we always firmly believe that it is a tool, not a complete solution. Of course, behind deciding whether it is a tool or a plan, it must be our interesting thoughts and souls. "

  The only annual vehicle vacancy in the history of Xuanyuan Award was the unanimous decision of the Xuanyuan Award Executive Committee and the members of the jury.

Image default title _fororder_image008

  Truls Thorstensen, chairman of the Xuanyuan Prize jury and president and CEO of Austrian EFS arc advisory group, said: "If we put these models tested this year in previous years, each model has the ability to win the final prize."

  But at the same time, he pointed out: this year’s automobile products have a homogenization trend; Compared with last year’s products, this year’s automobile products are not so daring to try new things; Compared with previous years, we haven’t seen some excellent product performance this year.

  Vacancy does not mean the retrogression of products and automobile industry, but it is gestating more energy, more potential innovations and better products in the future.

  On the basis of not having the 11th Xuanyuan Award model of the year, we put forward the "Xuanyuan Ten Questions":

Image default title _fororder_image009

  Jia Ke said that the "Ten Questions of Xuanyuan" has put forward a big "question mark" for China automobile industry, which is a question mark at the peak.

  "On the new track of new energy intelligent networked cars, we are the vanguard in the world. In a sense, we still pursued Tesla, followed the opportunity very closely, and made many innovations in application. Today, many of our cars have far exceeded the previous standards. We climbed from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside. Can we climb the peak again? We may need to answer ‘ Xuanyuan Ten Questions ’ . This is also an inspiration left to us by the car vacancy in the 11th Xuanyuan Award. "

  In essence, the "Xuanyuan Ten Questions" is exactly what China automobile industry needs to think calmly in the fierce competition and high involution.

  This year is the 11th Xuanyuan Award and the beginning of a new decade. Jia Ke said: "I hope that in the new decade, the Xuanyuan Award will accompany China’s automobile industry not only to change lanes and overtake, but also to better promote the development of the world’s automobile industry on the new car track."

  The new decade of Xuanyuan Award also needs the continued support of partners.

Xiaomi SU went on the market within 7 years. Is there any core technology for the questioned Xiaomi?

Pictures/networks

edit/Zwei

Lead:Today, it seems that it is not unusual for any enterprise to build a car across borders.

After all, Evergrande, which is engaged in real estate, has built cars, Gree, which is engaged in air conditioning, and even Skyworth, which is engaged in TV, is also building cars. As one of the leading digital industries in China, it is not unusual for Xiaomi to enter the automobile manufacturing industry.

Even after watching the Xiaomi automobile technology conference at the end of 2023, the author is very calm as an "old rice noodle". Using the word "so much" can almost directly summarize the mood after watching the press conference.

However, just before the Chinese New Year, a photo of Zhang Leijun sitting in Xiaomi SU7 was leaked. At the same time, this photo also indicates the interior design of Xiaomi’s new car to some extent.

From this photo, combined with all kinds of information I have at present, I still think Xiaomi car is very interesting. From products to industries, Xiaomi Automobile not only shows us the similarities with traditional new forces, but also shows some differences.

First of all, let’s talk about Xiaomi’s "technical roots"

At the Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference at the end of last year, Lei Jun spoke passionately for three hours, trying to let everyone know the technical advantages of Xiaomi Automobile.

Normally, Xiaomi mainly released its own high-speed motor technology, integrated die casting technology, 800V high-voltage platform technology, intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving assistance technology. Among them, especially the Titan alloy developed by Xiaomi has attracted many people’s attention and made them call it "powerful".

In fact, what I want to tell you is that no matter how powerful and excellent these technologies are on PPT, as long as these technologies have not been empowered in real cars, don’t be too credulous.

In the automobile manufacturing industry, there is an eternal truth: technology is not bought, and it does not take root and sprout overnight, but it takes time as a drug introduction and experience as a premise to accumulate slowly.

The last car company, known as "technology can be bought", was Hengchi Automobile from Evergrande. And what is the final outcome of Hengchi Automobile? I believe everyone here is very clear.

Therefore, the author firmly believes that Xiaomi, as a "newcomer" who has just entered the automobile manufacturing and R&D industries for a few years, is difficult to grow into a "technological success" overnight. Therefore, the arguments that "the performance of Xiaomi automobile has surpassed one million" and "Xiaomi technology is very strong" can be stopped.

After all, an automobile manufacturer established less than five years ago can’t compete with those first-line manufacturers with decades or even over a hundred years of history.

Although Xiaomi can’t become a big player in the field of automobile technology in a short time. However, Xiaomi has the opportunity to become a "user-oriented car company". To put it simply, in the early stage of development, Xiaomi can create products that meet user habits and attract users through the interpretation of user needs.

From the product point of view, Xiaomi does have the foundation of "user-oriented car enterprise"

At a press conference, Lei Jun said with an embarrassed expression: "There are many bugs in the MIUI system this year, and fans have scolded us miserably …"

The head of an enterprise can admit his mistakes in this way with the image of being close to the people. In my opinion, this is an essential element for a household enterprise. Dare to face criticism, admit defects and make up for mistakes. When an enterprise can do this, no matter whether its technology is "far ahead", at least it is successful in shaping its affinity image.

However, building a car is very different from making a mobile phone.

To put it bluntly, the mobile phone is just a fast-moving consumer product. Even if there is a problem, it will only affect the mood of consumers, and the loss will be only a few thousand dollars. Enterprises can and have the conditions to make up for users well.

However, in the process of building a car, once a BUG appears, it will often be a personal safety problem, which is difficult to make up once it is encountered.

So we also see that Xiaomi hopes to avoid problems as much as possible before making a car.

The author gives a few small examples, such as the design dimension of Xiaomi SU7, which is actually very cautious.

The door handle of the vehicle adopts the "embedded and hidden" design similar to that of BMW 2 Series, and will not be stuck by thin ice like the hidden door handle in winter.

Moreover, in the interior design, Xiaomi SU7 still retains a certain scale of physical keys, which can provide convenience for consumers to operate blindly, which is also a small detail that makes people feel good.

Of course, we can’t deny that Xiaomi Automobile may have some problems in the subsequent real car due to lack of experience. In fact, objectively speaking, these problems are hard to avoid in all car-making enterprises. The key lies in whether the problems finally exposed are "big problems" or "small problems".

The author is inclined that Xiaomi can build a good car in a down-to-earth manner, at least in terms of core mechanical quality and safety. As for the potential problems such as screen delay and abnormal sound of decorative parts, it doesn’t really matter much. According to Xiaomi’s attitude towards consumers, the author can even foresee a scene after one or two years:

Lei Jun continued to say "embarrassed" to the big guy at the annual new car launch conference: "There are a lot of small problems in the first SU7, and the fans scolded us miserably … but we will improve these problems …"

Xiaomi builds a car, what is the probability geometry of success?

In fact, we have to understand a feature of the current market, that is, consumers in 2024 will not directly trust a start-up car brand as they did seven or eight years ago. In the era of economic tightening, buying a car is becoming more and more rational. I won’t say, "I am a fan of Xiaomi’s mobile phone, so I must support Xiaomi’s car."

Therefore, in front of Lei Jun and Xiaomi, there are actually more difficulties.

It is difficult to build a car, and it is even more difficult to sell a car.

In front of Xiaomi, there may be only one way to go, and that is the cost-effective route.

However, from the actual action, Xiaomi seems to be more willing to take the high-end route. After last year’s press conference, Lei Jun once bluntly said, "It is impossible for a new millet car to cost 149,000 yuan".

And not long before the Chinese New Year, Lei Jun also released a Weibo poll on "The most beautiful car in your heart is within 500,000", and most of the options are about 300,000 models. The author believes that this actually indirectly shows that Xiaomi’s first new car SU7 is heading for the price of 300,000 yuan.

It is conceivable that if Xiaomi SU7 really sells in the price range of 300,000 yuan, it will face very sinister competition.

In addition, it is not difficult to predict the product strength of SU7: the performance version of this car may have a 3-second acceleration, and it has a high-level chassis adjustment; The long battery life version may have a cruising range of about 800 kilometers, and the charging speed is very fast; At the same time, the intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving assistance system of high-equipped models will also reach the first-line level in the industry …

Based on this product strength, it can really sell for 300 thousand. But in the price range of 300,000, consumers will have more choices. In the future, you can choose extreme krypton 007, extreme krypton 001 or even "big factory new energy" like Zhijie S7; Yes, there are BBA medium-sized cars to choose from. Therefore, if Xiaomi’s first new car really enters the price range of 300,000, it is easy to be defeated by the market.

Of course, the author hopes that a series of information released by Lei Jun and Xiaomi are all "smoke bombs".

At the beginning, it was expensive, but in the end, it was necessary to take a high cost-effective route. Even if the new car is priced at 180,000-250,000 yuan, Xiaomi SU7 will have a "head start".

Moreover, once Xiaomi enters the cost-effective competition path, it will not only make its own road wider and wider, but also play the role of "catalyst" in the whole market. As the cost-effective road of Xiaomi gradually takes shape, more and more car companies will fight for price and quality, which is expected to achieve the real "same price of oil and electricity".

Achuan pingche

Of course, the above price information is only a forecast based on the author’s analysis of existing data. It can only be said that there are two possibilities after Xiaomi’s new car goes on the market.

As for which road Xiaomi will choose in the end, the author prefers that Xiaomi will take a higher cost-effective route. After all, this is also the traditional advantage of Xiaomi.

RECOMMEND

The sales volume of the new M7 in Wenjie exceeded 50,000, and the car purchase benefits worth 30,000 yuan continued to be exported.

  In the second half of this year, the listing and sale of Huawei mate 60 is one of the hottest things. However, in addition to Huawei mate 6, the new energy vehicle market is also very hot.

Xiaomi will invest more than 100 billion yuan to insist on high-end, and the car-making business is highly anticipated but still mysterious.

In the past two years, entrepreneurs have become a "silent majority", and only Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Company, still insists on giving an annual speech. On August 14th, Lei Jun’s fourth annual speech arrived as scheduled. The theme of this speech was "Growth", and it continued the speech mode of story+product in previous years: in the three-hour speech, the first half was Lei Jun’s personal speech, and the second half was the release of new products.

Lei Jun started with his study experience at Wuhan University, and he recalled his entrepreneurial dream when he read The Fire of Silicon Valley. At the age of 28, he became CEO of Jinshan, changing from a programmer to a manager; At the age of 40, Xiaomi was founded, and his dream gradually came into reality … In this speech, Lei Jun focused on the high-end strategy of Xiaomi mobile phone and the development plan of large model, but almost nothing was said about the car-making progress that the outside world was most looking forward to.

Lei Jun’s "Growth"

As the first batch of programmers in China, Lei Jun entered the profession earlier than most of the internet tycoons who people are familiar with. As he mentioned in his annual speech, as early as August 1990, when he was a junior, he was "famous" in Wuhan Electronic Street with excellent technology, and earned his first pot of gold by writing software.

In 1992, Lei Jun joined Jinshan with Qiu Bojun after graduation, and he became the chairman all the way, making him the strongest "migrant worker". As early as 1998, when people were familiar with Ali and Tencent, Lei Jun had already served as the general manager of Jinshan Company. In 2007, after working in Jinshan for 16 years, Lei Jun finally led the company to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and then announced his "resignation" from Jinshan.

In 2010, after "retirement", Lei Jun, at the age of 40, founded Xiaomi, and grew into the largest mobile phone manufacturer in China in just four years. In July 2018, Lei Jun led Xiaomi to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In the previous list released by Hurun Research Institute, Xiaomi ranked 29th with a valuation of 244 billion. It shows that Lei Jun ranks 47th with a net worth of 75 billion RMB.

In April 2010, Xiaomi Company was founded.

Although he brought out two listed companies in one hand and had already realized the freedom of wealth, Lei Jun did not choose to retire. In 2021, he started Xiaomi’s "second venture" and officially announced the construction of a car. In April this year, after the attack of generative AI, Xiaomi set up a big model team and began to bet on AI in an all-round way.

In the speech,Lei Jun officially announced the strategic upgrade of Xiaomi Technology, which can be summarized as "one idea, four key paths and principles"."One idea" is to choose the technical field with long-term value to human civilization and insist on long-term continuous investment. Lei Jun said in his speech: "People are the origin of science and technology. Xiaomi’s scientific and technological exploration should be valuable not only to human life now, but also to the creation, progress and development of human beings in the future."

Two long-term is the core of Xiaomi’s scientific and technological concept. In order to ensure its implementation, Xiaomi has established "four key paths and principles": deep cultivation of the underlying technology, long-term continuous investment, deep integration of software and hardware, and comprehensive empowerment of AI.

The importance of the underlying technology is self-evident, but it is not possible to see the results overnight, especially to test the patience, determination and vision of enterprises. In terms of R&D investment, Xiaomi’s R&D investment will be about 16 billion in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 21%. It is estimated that the total R&D investment in 2023 will exceed RMB 20 billion, and Xiaomi’s R&D investment in the next five years (2022-2026) will exceed RMB 100 billion. From 2017 to 2022, the compound annual growth rate of millet R&D investment reached 38.4%.

In view of the integration of software and hardware and the comprehensive empowerment of AI, the conference also disclosed the latest progress of Xiaomi’s large model, involving research and development, application and even enterprise organization production. It can be seen that in Xiaomi’s eyes, AI technology including large models is a kind of productivity. Xiaomi will embed AI capabilities into all aspects from internal organization to external experience, which is the real essence of AI sub-methodology-using AI to install super brains for business and products.

Xiaomi mobile phone, the suffering and breakthrough of high-end

Smartphone is the starting point of Xiaomi’s establishment and one of its most powerful businesses at present. Compared with the past three speeches, Lei Jun’s speech this year is less painful and more successful. But the pressure on Xiaomi is not small.

In terms of main business, the decline of Xiaomi’s mobile phone revenue reached 20% in the whole year of 2022 and Q1 of 2023. From the perspective of the market, in Q1 and Q2 of 2023, Xiaomi maintained the third place in the global market, but fell out of the top four in the domestic market, with the largest decline among manufacturers.

On the other hand, according to Xiaomi’s previously released financial report for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2023, Xiaomi ranked first among Android manufacturers in the price range of 4000-5000 yuan in mainland China in the first quarter, and its market share increased to 24.1% year-on-year. Shipments of high-end smartphones priced at 3,000 yuan and above accounted for a year-on-year increase of 4%, and smartphones ASP in mainland China hit a single-season high, with a year-on-year increase of over 18%.

The increase in the proportion of high-end mobile phones has brought higher gross profit margin to Xiaomi, but the high-end strategy is not easy all the way..Three years ago, Lei Jun gave his first personal keynote speech on the 10th anniversary of Xiaomi on the stage of the National Convention Center, and announced the launch of Xiaomi 10 Ultra, the first smart phone product for the high-end market.

Xiaomi 10 played a "good start" for the high-end transformation of Xiaomi. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Xiaomi 11 and Xiaomi 12 suffered successive setbacks, which made it difficult to meet expectations and even made the company suffer serious losses. "Everyone has no idea how scary and stressful it is to be a high-end flagship loss." Lei Jun mentioned that investing heavily in high-end mobile phones once frustrated the team, and even he himself had a "heavy" Spring Festival in 2022.

At that time, Xiaomi focused on "stacking". On the way of blindly emphasizing parameters, we forget that the user experience is more important. Not only is it a financial loss, but the greater price is that Xiaomi’s internal team has questioned the high-end strategy.

Whether Xiaomi can do it or not has become a question buried in the bottom of every employee’s heart. For this reason, Lei Jun spent a lot of time communicating with the team and finally determined the brand strategy of sticking to the high-end route. Under the insistence of Lei Jun, Xiaomi 13 made a turnaround and achieved a breakthrough, which became the representative work of Xiaomi’s "from parameter leading to experience priority" in Lei Jun’s mouth.

The success of Xiaomi 13 completed a turnaround for Xiaomi.

In Xiaomi 13 and its subsequent attempts, Lei Jun re-realized that a success is not universal, and the most important thing to do high-end mobile phones is to have systematic thinking. However, it must be admitted that when the mobile phone industry enters the stock market, the fierce competition in the high-end market cannot be underestimated, and high-end is a must for major mobile phone manufacturers.

From suffering to breakthrough, from being questioned to being recognized, Xiaomi’s high-end road is the most painful and rewarding growth for Lei Jun in the past decade. He said that in the face of fierce competition from Apple, Samsung and Huawei, only by insisting on high-end transformation can Xiaomi win living space for the future and force Xiaomi’s technological development. With Lei Jun’s cognitive growth,Xiaomi’s high-end road has also ushered in a new tone-high-end is not a multiple-choice question, it is the only way for Xiaomi’s development, and it is also a battle of life and death.

Cross-border car making is not only diversified.

In addition to the high-end mobile phone, Xiaomi’s core growth curve is the car-making project. However, at the press conference announcing the strategic upgrade, Xiaomi Automobile was intentionally or unintentionally diluted, which is an important part to judge the future development prospects of Xiaomi.

To understand the significance of automobile business to Xiaomi, we should not only look at Xiaomi itself vertically, but also look at the industry trend horizontally. From the perspective of Xiaomi’s ecology, it has been three years since it officially entered the new energy automobile industry in 2021. In the first phase of autonomous driving, Xiaomi invested 3.3 billion yuan in R&D expenses and set up a top R&D team with a scale of over 500 people.

In addition to investing heavily, Xiaomi also actively adopts ecological empowerment. At the beginning of Xiaomi’s autonomous driving technology, after the technical layout strategy of the full-stack self-developed algorithm was formulated, in addition to the exclusive team of over 500 people, many collaborative teams such as artificial intelligence laboratory, Xiaoai team and mobile phone camera department also gave strong support. The team delivered a large number of core technologies accumulated in the past years to Xiaomi Automobile with systematic technological innovation, making it form differentiated competitiveness.

Horizontally, for modern people, "car" as a mobile space and a fixed space "home" together constitute the main scene of daily life. The space inside the car will become a high ground for technology companies, which is why mobile phone manufacturers build cars across borders, and the new forces of building cars are also testing the smart phone business.

Previously, Xiaomi has been deeply involved in mobile phones and AIoT for many years. Once the mobile scene card is completed, the closed-loop ecology of Xiaomi’s smart scene will be formed. Therefore,Building a car for Xiaomi is by no means a simple business diversification, or looking for a second growth curve, which has a deeper and deeper value, that is, completing the last link of Xiaomi’s intelligent ecology.

As an important part of Xiaomi’s business map, with the mass production of automobiles next year, Xiaomi will become the only technology company in the world to realize the complete self-research layout of mobile phones, automobiles and AIoT, and complete the closed-loop technology ecology of people and cars, and the moat of Xiaomi will be dug deeper. Since the production car has not yet appeared, Xiaomi has not pushed the car business to the center of the stage for the time being, but the hand left behind has hidden greater ambitions and territory.

Looking back, Xiaomi is lucky: when he entered the smart phone industry in 2010, the mobile Internet feast just kicked off; When the eco-chain model was launched in 2014, smart life was becoming a new wave; When it enters the research and development field of bionic robots in 2020 and enters the new energy automobile industry in 2021, AI technology and automobile revolution are brewing a new wave of technological change.

Building a car is a new journey for Lei Jun, and its success directly affects the future of Xiaomi. As a latecomer, it is getting closer and closer to the mass production schedule, and the time left by the market for Xiaomi Automobile is already very urgent. "99% of the questions have standard answers. When you don’t understand, ask someone." Xiaomi’s next answer may also require Lei Jun to speed up the learning.

In addition to imported brands and joint venture brands, new cars of China brand that we are proud of will appear at the auto show one after another. So today, I’m going to dish out which cars of China brand will be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show!

I still remember the Changan CS55PLUS launched in 2019, and its brand-new appearance made the whole "CS55 Car Series" a great success. In 2020, the annual sales volume reached 108,000 units. The new generation of CS55PLUS combines the style of Changan UNI series, and its young and fashionable appearance will be more attractive to young people. It is expected that the new car will make its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. In terms of power, the new car will continue to be equipped with the Blue Whale NE series 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 188 HP, and the transmission is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Xingyue L is Geely’s brand-new compact SUV. Geely is also based on high hopes for this star. The new car is equipped with many luxurious configurations, such as 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology, which can realize L4 conditional automatic driving in some scenes and working conditions. In terms of power, it gives this car strong performance: the whole car is equipped with Volvo Drive-E series 2.0TD direct injection turbocharged engines (2.0TD-T4 EVO and 2.0TD-T5). Two power versions are available, the maximum power is 218 HP and 238 HP respectively, and the peak torque is 325 Nm and 350 Nm respectively. In terms of transmission, it is matched with 7-speed wet DCT gearbox and 8AT gearbox from Aisin respectively. It seems that this car will have a bloody battle with its competitors in the compact SUV market segment in the future. However, for consumers, besides the vehicle itself, the most important thing is its pricing, which also plays a decisive role in the future market performance.

It will be booked globally during the Shanghai Chezhen period. The overall shape is very futuristic. In terms of power, it will be equipped with dual motors, with a maximum power of 400kW, a peak torque of 700N·m and an acceleration of 0-100km/h of only 3.9 seconds.

The new car will be pre-sold during the Shanghai Auto Show. The new car has adopted a brand-new design language. It is worth mentioning that, compared with ordinary models, the hybrid model has little difference in shape, but it is different in color matching and body component details.

In terms of battery, the HEV battery pack of this architecture is 1.8kWh. Red Rabbit is the fourth model of lemon platform. It is not only further upgraded in appearance, but also provides a hybrid system. I believe that for consumers who are more interested in fuel consumption, Haval Red Rabbit deserves attention.

Tang DM-i, which will be launched at Shanghai Auto Show, adopts a brand-new plug-in hybrid powertrain. There is no difference in appearance from the current Tang DM model. The biggest difference between Tang DM-i and the models on sale is that it is equipped with a brand-new plug-in system composed of 1.5T engine and motor. The battery pack adopts Ferrous lithium phosphate "blade battery". Depending on the size of the battery pack, the car has two kinds of pure electric cruising range, 52 km and 112 km, and the fuel consumption per 100 km under the power loss condition is 5.3 liters and 5.5 liters respectively.

The Spring Festival movies are in chaos, and Jia Ling and Shen Teng are far ahead. Is there any chance for Zhang Yimou to win?

Every year, the Spring Festival stalls are eagerly awaited by the audience, and this year’s war situation is even more fierce. The overall quality and reputation of this Spring Festival movie is high, and the audience’s evaluation can be inferred from the rising box office results.

Comedy is a well-deserved C position, and the top four movies are all comedy themes without exception. In the pre-sale stage, YOLO, Pegasus 2 and Article 20 have always been the top three, but the situation has changed after the release. The sci-fi cartoon Boonie Bears: Time Twist came from behind and replaced Article 20.

Comedy melee is like a fairy fight, and the ranking may change at any time. At present, YOLO and "Pegasus 2" firmly occupy the top two box office, and the final winner will definitely win from the two films.

Followed by "Boonie Bears: Time Twist" is a dark horse, quietly came to the third place. As the light of domestic animation, the "Bear Haunted" series has always been loved by children. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, it is a relaxing way for the family to go to the cinema to watch cartoons. The audience not only cares about the quality of the film, but also values whether the film satisfies the wish of family happiness.

Article 20, which ranks fourth, and The Movie Emperor, which has been withdrawn from the archives, have recognized luxury lineups, and all kinds of big coffees are gathered. Looking at the lineups, we can know that the film quality will not be bad. "Article 20" is directed by Zhang Yimou, and starring Lei Jiayin, Mary, Zhao Liying, Gao Ye, Liu Yaowen and Wang Xiaoyi, there are both recognized acting schools and popular traffic schools. It was highly anticipated before its release. At the end of the holiday, the film achieved a negative decline, and the box office is hopeful to go further.

"The Movie Emperor" is directed by Ning Hao, and the lineup includes three generations, including body of work’s strength, powerful actors with undiminished elegance, and new faces full of surprises. Andy Lau, Dan Liwen, Daniel Yu Wai-Kwok, Miriam Yeung, Lin Xilei and Tony Leung Ka Fai are all masterpieces, and Ning Hao plays the role of Lin Hao in his own play. Whether it is to bring the old with the new or to promote the old with the new, there will be more sparks of confrontation in the play. But unfortunately, under the pressure of poor box office, this film followed several other films and chose to withdraw the file.

In addition to the Boonie Bears: Time Twist mentioned above, there is also a Viva La Vida that should be paid attention to. Without the blessing of the explosion theme, this film once reached the top five, ranking behind Article 20, but unfortunately it also chose the operation of withdrawing files.

This is a warm love movie, which is the final chapter of the trilogy of life directed by Han Yan. It revolves around two terminally ill young people, Lu Tu and Ling Min, and a relay for life full of love and strength begins. "Mindless" Lu Tu is played by Peng Yuchang, and "Unhappy" Ling Min is played by Li Gengxi. The spark and tension caused by the cooperation between two young people is also one of the highlights in the film.

In addition, there are Xu Fan, Gao Yalin, Liu Dan, Wang Xun and other actors in the starring lineup, and the combination of age differences has also generated a lot of sparks.

Generally speaking, comedy movies are the trump card of this year’s Spring Festival file, and the traffic and popularity have been high. Jia Ling’s film YOLO, which is directed and acted by herself, has made a good start. This film is likely to be her second high-grossing work after Hi, Mom.

Han Han, a director who is good at literary film style, released a new film "Pegasus 2" in the Spring Festival file, which has a gratifying box office and is comparable to the first YOLO. This time, Han Han invited the original "Flying Life" to play the second part, and also invited the flow niche Adam. At first glance, this lineup is very powerful, and the new and old actors alternate, which can still leave a sense of freshness for the audience.

The animated film "Boonie Bears: Time Twist" continues the previous IP, and makes some innovations on the original basis. The main theme is family fun, which expands the audience to the greatest extent, and the audience can have a good year with laughter.

It’s a pity that "Article 20" was very popular before its release, and its publicity was also in place. Although the box office is not low at present, it doesn’t match Zhang Yimou’s name.

When the movie explodes, the value of the stars will rise with it. Jia Ling already has Hi, Mom Zhuyu in the front, and YOLO will help her secure the position of comedy queen. As the leading actor in two films, YOLO and Article 20, Lei Jiayin’s career bonus can be imagined. If both films can achieve box office miracles, Lei Jiayin is likely to enter the first echelon of actors and become a popular player for the prize.

Shen Teng and Mary are as funny as ever. As long as people stand there, the audience wants to laugh. This time, the two played well, and at least got a satisfactory score in the audience’s mind.

The new generation of actors like Liu Yaowen, Peng Yuchang, and Li Gengxi are all young and talented, and their strength is remarkable compared with that of their peers. However, if they want to take up this bowl of acting for a long time, they need to go through more tempering and growth.

It is difficult to know the outcome until the end, and Gan Kun is undecided, and it is possible to rush out of a new dark horse at any time. What surprises will these movies in the Spring Festival bring? Look forward to it together!

AITO asks the new M7: Adding extra points to the travel experience with super intelligence

The appearance of new AITO products always attracts the attention of the industry. Although there are frequent new forces to build cars, the brand created by Celeste hand in hand with Huawei, the world’s leading intelligent terminal provider, is still a special existence in the field of new forces, so that today, people are still talking about the bold attempts of both parties in the cooperative enterprise and the various performances in the intelligent field after AITO asked for the world.

AITO started the "accelerated running" after it came out, and successively released three smart cars, namely, the M5, M7 and M5 pure electric versions, which gained a good reputation. According to the survey, AITO has made outstanding performance in the quality ranking of medium and large SUVs in new energy in the first half of 2023, and AITO has been recommended by many car owners for its good performance. In May this year, the 100,000th vehicle of AITO rolled off the assembly line, which means that the brand has achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1 in only 15 months. "This represents the recognition and trust of users, and also verifies the success of the smart car selection model." Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of terminal BG and CEO of smart car solution BU, said.

"Speeding up and running" is still going on, and AITO continues to be "intelligent". In the past September 12th, the new M7 of AITO came out officially. This new car with a price of 249,800-329,800 yuan has been upgraded in intelligence, among which intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit are particularly worth mentioning. AITO circles call them "double intelligence".

AITO’s new M7 Max intelligent driving version is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-order intelligent driving system, which can realize full-scene, all-weather and wide-range perception of dynamic and static targets by means of 27 sensing hardware equipped around the vehicle, combined with high-performance computing platform and Huawei’s self-developed anthropomorphic algorithm.

The 27 sensing hardware includes 1 overhead lidar, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 11 high-definition visual sensing cameras, which are equivalent to the 27 "eyes" of the new M7, and can realize all-round observation of road conditions without dead ends and fine recognition of obstacles by 99%. In the product evaluation, rows of cone barrels, stationary water horses, mounds of debris, trees falling on the roadside, and gravel falling from the mountain are all included in the evaluation scope, and they can’t escape the "eyes" of the new M7 in AITO. Not only that, the new car can also identify alien objects that pass outside the obstacle list, with a recognition rate of 99.9%.

Recognition is not the goal, but reasoning through recognition, making decisions quickly, responding quickly and saving the day. The "fully armed" AITO Jiejie new M7 can realize high-order intelligent driving with safety, comfort and efficiency in consideration after accurately identifying the behaviors of surrounding traffic participants, which of course includes urban sections and expressway sections during peak traffic hours. The new car can find the parking space and park it independently without self-learning, which truly achieves "visible parking"; Sentinel mode finds potential dangers nearby, and the system will give an alarm and record video …

AITO’s new M7 has both internal and external intelligence, including "clairvoyance", "clairvoyance" and powerful "immanence", which makes the title of "double intelligence" more appropriate.

The new M7 in AITO is equipped with HarmonyOS Intelligent Cockpit 3.0, which can freely switch between the screen of the mobile phone and the screen of the car, so that drivers and passengers can feel the magic of space jumping. For example, before getting on the bus, you are playing games, listening to music, brushing a drama, entering the cockpit, and you can continue to feel the experience through the big screen in the car just by touching online. The new car can also realize the functions of multi-finger touch, such as arbitrary zoom, free switching tasks, one-click touch of super desktop, and multi-function instant display. The experiencer commented that it is as smooth as Huawei Mate 60 Pro mobile phone.

Intelligentization not only gives the new car a smooth and smooth experience, but also can realize many other functions. For example, the new M7 in-car navigation in AITO Jiejie supports offline map voice navigation, and the recognition rate of offline map voice navigation can reach 99%. For example, AITO asks the new M7 to help car owners who "forget when parking" find their cars accurately through the APP. For example, the one-button car reservation in the cockpit can quickly help the driver and passenger to adjust the temperature and air inside the car through "memory", and reduce the sound inside the car through "soft voice command" to make the car as comfortable and quiet as a quiet forest.

Safety is always a topic that drivers and passengers care about. AITO asks the new M7 to create a good physical safety, and at the same time, it is also using its intelligent advantages to "second bless" the active and passive safety of vehicles.

In terms of physical safety, the new M7 of AITO International adopts a cage-type body design structure, with submarine-grade thermoformed steel accounting for 24.4% of the whole body, which can bear 17 tons of weight per square centimeter. Aluminum profiles are filled in the vehicle sill beams to increase the "bone density" of the vehicle, and they also protect the battery cells and battery modules of the vehicle body. The new car is equipped with 8 airbags, and it is also equipped with front double pre-tensioned seat belts.

In terms of intelligent "secondary blessing", the new car can support the low-speed driving scene of the vehicle forward and backward by expanding the AEB emergency braking function in the active safety system, covering the sliding scene and realizing the low-speed emergency braking; In the case of reversing, collision risks including children, anti-collision columns, cone barrels, etc. can be identified. The multi-sensor fusion sensing system of the new M7 in AITO can realize the longest detection distance of 200m and the maximum horizontal detection angle of 120, which increases the vehicle’s prediction of dangerous situations. AITO’s new M7 can increase the maximum braking speed to 90km/h through AEB automatic emergency braking, which can reduce the safety accidents caused by inattention and complex road conditions. In the tunnel section, AITO asks the new M7 to react quickly with the laser radar through the fully integrated sensing scheme, so as to avoid danger in case of abnormal weather or mountain falling rocks.

The highlights of the new M7 in AITO are far more than that. More highlights need to be felt by drivers and passengers themselves, and its price of 249,800-329,800 yuan is also very friendly to consumers. It hopes to truly face the vast number of family users in China, and truly become a product with high intelligence-to-price ratio with "smart equal rights" instead of "brand premium".

I look forward to the listing performance of the new M7 from AITO, and expect more users to experience the new driving experience brought by its high technology. (Yang Yang)
