BYD’s brand-new Qin Fuel/Qin EV has entered the compact sedan market since 64,900 yuan.

On November 5th, BYD’s brand-new Qin series was officially launched, and six new models were launched. Among them, BYD Qin has added four fuel models, and the official guide price of the new Qin fuel is 64,900-81,900 yuan. Before January 25, 2020, the first batch of car owners can enjoy a discount of 5,000 yuan and a surprise of up to 17,000 yuan. The price range of the new Qin EV after subsidy is 129,900 — 139.9 thousand yuan.

A new fuel version has been added to the compact car market.

Zhao Changjiang, general manager of BYD Auto Sales Co., Ltd., mentioned in an interview that from January to September this year, the compact car market accounted for 31.7% of the total market, which is the highest share of the automobile segment and also the "place where the military strategists must fight for it". The brand-new Qin Fuel and Qin EV listed this time are divided into two ways, entering the fuel field and new energy field respectively, and continuing BYD’s journey in the compact car market.

Zhao Changjiang also said that the Qin series has always been a new energy vehicle, and the launch of the fuel version has important considerations: after the launch of the new Qin fuel version, it will make up for the lack of compact fuel cars in the Dynasty series. The brand-new Qin fuel adopts Dragon Face design language, led by internationally renowned design master Wolfgang Eiger, with a length of 4675mm and a wheelbase of 2,670 mm. The new car is equipped with a 1.5-liter +CVT power combination, which meets the national six emission standards. The maximum power is 80 kW, the peak torque is 148 Nm, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.9L.

With the launch of brand-new Qin fuel, BYD Dynasty series products have achieved full engine and full power coverage in compact cars, intermediate cars, compact SUVs, medium and large SUVs and MPV markets.

The brand value of new energy is strong. The new Qin EV has a battery life of 421km.

Along with the new Qin fuel, there is also a new Qin EV. The new Qin EV also uses the Dragon Face design language, and the front face adopts a matrix closed grille. It is worth mentioning that the new Qin EV is based on the world’s leading professional electric vehicle platform — — The BYD e platform is built to realize the efficient integration of motor, electronic control and transmission, reduce the overall body weight, optimize the energy transmission path and reduce the power consumption. The maximum power of its driving motor can reach 100 kW and the peak torque is 180 Nm. The ternary lithium battery has a capacity of 53.1kWh, an energy density of 160Wh/kg, and NEDC’s comprehensive working life reaches 421km.

In the field of new energy vehicles, BYD has a solid technical accumulation, especially in terms of safety. The brand-new Qin EV listed this time builds a seven-dimensional four-layer battery safety matrix, which fully guarantees battery safety in terms of reliable connection, high-voltage protection, collision and overcharge.

With its technical strength and reputation, BYD has established a solid brand awareness among consumers. Therefore, in the case of a decline in the new energy vehicle market, the cumulative sales of BYD’s new energy vehicles in the first nine months still achieved a year-on-year increase of 34.31% to 192,600 units. New energy is the development trend of the automobile market, and Zhao Changjiang judges that it will gradually pick up next year.

The road to champion, the new Qin continues to move forward, intelligent technology empowers travel.

As the "pioneering work" of Dynasty cars, Qin has accumulated more than 200,000 car owners since its listing in 2013. Qin DM has won the CRC SAE category for many years in a row and is a "double champion" in the market and on the field.

Under the background that after the Pan-90s, it gradually became the main consumer and intelligent networking became the trend, Qin also chose to keep pace with the times. The newly listed brand-new Qin Fuel and brand-new Qin EV are both equipped with BYD’s latest DiLink 2.0 intelligent networking system, and users can install 3 million +APP applications on the system, providing cloud service functions, smart bracelet key system and other configurations, and matching Bosch ESP 9.3 body electronic stability system. At the same time, the new Qin EV also supports the intelligent remote upgrade of OTA of the whole vehicle, which can comprehensively upgrade the multimedia system, power system and braking system, and is equipped with remote driving black technology.

In addition, the brand-new Qin Fuel and the brand-new Qin EV both have leading configurations of the same class, such as the longest 4675mm body and NVH library-level quiet space, and their core components are all from internationally renowned suppliers.

With the listing of brand-new Qin fuel and Qin EV, BYD’s continuous efforts in the field of cars have been kicked off. According to reports, BYD will launch a brand-new medium and large car next year — — Han, when the dynasty series will officially enter the mid-to high-end car market.

BYD’s "Easy Sifang" black technology concept is active, and the auto sector has multiple daily limit.

  On January 6th, the financial sector reported that the automobile sector had strengthened. Today, Kaida, Junda and Tongda Electric had daily limit, and Aolian Electronics rose more than 13%.

  In the news, on January 5th, BYD’s brand-new high-end automobile brand was officially released, and its core technology "Easy Sifang" was emphatically introduced. It is understood that the "Easy Sifang" technology is BYD’s first mass-produced four-motor drive technology in China, which can accurately control the four-wheel dynamics of vehicles by virtue of the four-motor independent vector control technology and create a brand-new automobile safety technology system.

  Several stocks that took the lead in daily trading on Friday seemed to be related to the concept of "wheel-side motor", and investors asked related listed companies whether BYD’s black technology was related to you.

Qunar.com mislabeled "18 yuan for one night". Four people bought 7,800 copies and were cancelled.

  Four people, including Jiang, bought 7,800 group purchase coupons for 7-day hotel stay at the price of each 18 yuan on Qunar.com, and then Qunar.com unilaterally frozen all the group purchase coupons and refunded them, which caused disputes between the two sides. After the court of first instance rejected the prosecution of Jiang, Jiang appealed to Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court. Yesterday morning, the second trial of the case was held in Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court.

  The 116 yuan hotel group purchase coupon was wrongly marked as 18 yuan.

  In August 2014, Xingzhi Hotel reached an agreement with the fun company affiliated to Qunar.com on the 7-day hotel chain Wuxi Central Station Store, where Qunar.com released the group purchase marketing information of the hotel and provided users with electronic consumption vouchers, which were recognized by the hotel.

  In November, 2014, Qunar.com published a group purchase product of "7-day hotel chain Central Station Store staying in a traditional twin room for one night" in Wuxi, with a discount of 0.9%, and the group purchase price was 18 yuan. Jiang, Wang, Zhu and Wang bought 2100 copies, 2500 copies, 1900 copies and 1300 copies of goods respectively, which are valid for one year, and paid all the group purchase money, and have received the electronic group purchase coupons issued by the website of Funa Company.

  On the first day of the product’s launch, some people spent money with 18 yuan’s group purchase coupons. Qunar.com found that it mislabeled the room with a total price of 116 yuan as 18 yuan, and then unilaterally frozen the above 7,800 group purchase coupons and made a refund.

  After receiving the refund notice, Jiang and others sent letters to Qunar.com several times, asking them to perform the contract according to the contract, but they were rejected. Later, Jiang and other four people appealed to the court, requesting that Qunar.com continue to fulfill the group purchase according to the group purchase information published on the website.

  Violate the principle of fairness and dismiss the prosecution in the first instance.

  When the case was opened in the first instance, Qunar.com said that the employee mislabeled the original cost price of 109 yuan as 7 yuan on the day of the incident, and then the system automatically generated the group purchase price 18 yuan. In the process of reaching an online service contract with four people, including Jiang, there were frauds and major misunderstandings, and the conclusion and contents of the contract violated the basic principles of voluntariness, equal compensation, honesty and credit, fairness and so on. If we continue to perform the contract, it will cause huge losses to the company. Therefore, we request the court to reject the claims of Jiang and others, and file a counterclaim to request the cancellation of the group purchase contract involved.

  The court of first instance held that qunar. com’s group purchase information was wrong in expression, and if the group purchaser bought the hotel check-in service with 18 yuan’s group purchase coupon, the payment and service were seriously unequal, which violated the principle of fairness.

  The court held that the prices of the 7-day chain hotels in Wuxi involved in the case were all above 100 yuan, and even the hotels with relatively simple facilities needed at least 29 yuan. According to the first-instance judgment, the court revoked the online sales contract reached by four people, including Jiang and Qunar.com, on hotel group purchase coupons, and rejected other claims. Jiang and other four people refused to accept the appeal.

  Qunar. com called consumers "cheating"

  When the second trial was held yesterday, Qunar.com said that after the price was found to be wrong, the website removed the related products. For some consumers who have already purchased, they will be allowed to continue to stay. "But when we inquired about the appellant’s information, we found that they were suspected of cheating, so we frozen the group purchase coupon and refunded it."

  The agent of Qunar.com said that the reason why it is suspected of cheating is because "they are all newly registered users on the day of purchase, and the time period for purchasing group purchase coupons is also the same, and the IP address of their Internet access is the IP address of the hotel."

  Jiang and others denied this statement. "I bought it when I thought it was cheap, and I didn’t consider so much." In addition, regarding Qunar.com’s unilateral freezing of group purchase coupons, Jiang and others said, "If the other party thinks that the contract can be revoked, it should be handled in accordance with the law, and the group purchase coupons cannot be frozen and refunded unilaterally. We believe that this behavior violates the relevant provisions of the contract law and is a breach of contract."

  In addition, there are some scattered buyers of the group purchase products involved, and Qunar.com has fulfilled these contracts normally. This differential treatment violates the appellant’s right to fair trade.

  Yesterday, the court did not pronounce a sentence in court.

BYD has made great efforts. Can the goal of 1.2 million vehicles be achieved in the three major car systems of Dynasty, Ocean and Warship?

The most outstanding performance of the domestic automobile market in 2021 is the explosive growth of new energy vehicles under the epidemic situation. In 2021, the total sales volume of new energy vehicles reached 3.52 million 1000 vehicles, up nearly 160% year-on-year, and the annual penetration rate reached 14.8%. Of course, when it comes to new energy, we have to mention BYD, a domestic new energy leader. Last year, the annual sales volume of new energy passenger cars reached 593,745, and the sales volume of all models exceeded 730,000.

BYD can achieve such sales. Jiang Ge believes that it relies on the support of core technologies such as blade batteries and DM-i super hybrid, as well as a rich product line as a carrier. Among them, the top three heroes include the Song family with an annual sales of 200,000 vehicles, the Qin family with 194,000 vehicles, and the Han family with 117,000 vehicles. In addition, there are the help of Tang, Yuan and E nets.

This year, BYD has set itself an annual target of 1.2 million sales. In addition to expanding production capacity, it will further improve its product line. What new cars are there? Can you achieve your goal? Let’s take a look at Brother Jiang.

A, dynasty series

1. BYD Yuan (parameter picture) PLUS

Aspect: cockpit with the theme of "sports and fitness"

Positioning the compact tidal running SUV, Yuan PLUS has officially started pre-sale in January, with a pre-sale price of 132,800 yuan-152,800 yuan, which is expected to be officially listed in the first quarter. It is reported that BYD Yuan PLUS will be the first to be listed in Australia on February 19th. At present, it has received 15,000 orders, which is quite explosive.

Compared with the old Yuan pro, Yuan PLUS adopts BYD’s latest family Dragon Face 3.0 design language, including wide chrome-plated decorative strips running through the front face, chrome-plated decorative plates on the C-pillar, chrome-plated LOGO decorative strips on the fender, penetrating taillights with wing design and other latest designs, which are more fashionable as a whole, and are on the same level as competing products such as Tucki Gi3 and GAC AION Y.

The proportion of the car body with short front and rear suspension and long wheelbase is 4455*1875*1615mm, and the wheelbase is 2720mm.

The interior is the biggest "bright spot" of Yuan PLUS. The overall design concept takes "exercise and fitness" as the theme, and the details, such as grip door handle, thrust electronic gear lever, treadmill handrail, dumbbell air outlet and so on, are highly characterized, and their eye-catching ability is called off the charts.

In terms of power, it is quite satisfactory. The maximum power of the motor is 150kW and the peak torque is 330N·m, but fortunately, the battery is BYD’s most famous blade battery, which provides 430km and 510km battery life. As far as the product strength is concerned, Yuan PLUS can still play well, but whether it can revive its glory may depend on whether its final pricing will be a surprise.

2. BYD Han

Aspect: the captain and power are enhanced, and the DM-i version is reproduced.

Compared with the current Han EV, the change of the new car is not great. The upper part of the front face is still closed, but the lower enclosure adopts a brand-new style, and the air inlet size is larger, and some fine adjustments have been made.

In terms of size, BYD Han has also been upgraded. The length of the car has been lengthened from the previous 4980mm to the new 4995mm, which has certain advantages compared with rivals such as Tesla Model 3 and Tucki P7.

In terms of power, BYD Han EV has strengthened the motor, and the single motor version has been upgraded from the current maximum power of 163kW to 180kW;; The maximum power of the dual-motor version is upgraded from 163/200kW to 180/200kW. It is reported that the acceleration time of the new Han EV dual-motor version is only 3.7 seconds.

In addition to the Han EV, the Han DM-i equipped with a 1.5T plug-in system also appeared on the declaration list. This Han DM-i is not much different from the previously declared models, and it also uses the dot matrix network. As can be seen from the application information, the new car will be equipped with red brake calipers.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine, an electric motor and a Ferrous lithium phosphate blade battery, and there will be two endurance versions with fuel consumption of 0.8L and 1.4L per 100 kilometers respectively. In terms of price, compared with DM models, the price of Han DM-i will be further reduced, and the estimated starting price can be less than 200,000.

3. BYD Tang

Aspect: Increased cruising range

At the end of last year, the 2022 BYD Tang EV completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Although it is only an annual redesigned model, the appearance of the new BYD Tang EV has changed a lot. In design, the new Tang EV abandons the "grille" design, and the EV tastes stronger.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with BYD DM-i hybrid system, adopting a hybrid system consisting of 1.5T+ motors and lithium iron phosphate batteries, in which the maximum power of the engine is 139 HP and the peak power of the motor is 160 kW.

Second, the ocean network series

Seals/seagulls/sea lions

Aspect: 60,000 yuan mini-car to 250,000 yuan SUV full coverage

The marine life series is mainly based on pure electric power created by E platform 3.0, focusing on selling points such as new face value, new coil efficiency, new intelligence and new experience. Among them, BYD Seal is positioning a medium-sized pure electric car, or benchmarking Tesla Model 3, which is expected to be officially unveiled in the first quarter. Seals are the second model of marine life series after dolphins, and the estimated price will be at the level of 200,000.

In addition to seals, BYD Ocean Series will also have two new cars, Seagull and Sea Lion, which will also be released in the second and third quarters of this year. Among them, Seagull locates A00-class miniature electric vehicles, and the competing products will be cars such as Wuling Hongguang MINI EV and Chery QQ ice cream, and the estimated starting price is about 60,000 yuan.

Chery QQ ice cream

The sea lion is positioned as a medium-sized pure electric SUV, with an estimated starting price of 200,000, and competitors will target Tesla Model Y.. It is reported that this new car will have the opportunity to carry lidar, which is expected to exceed 700km in terms of battery life.

Third, the warship series

Cruiser 05/ destroyer 07/ landing ship

Aspect: brand-new cars, SUVs and MPVs

The warship series is mainly powered by DM-i, and the main selling points are fast, economical, quiet, smooth and green. According to the plan previously announced by BYD officials, the "warship" series of BYD’s "Ocean Net" will launch "destroyers" for positioning cars, "cruisers" for positioning SUV models and "landing ships" for positioning MPV models.

At present, the destroyer 05 has been unveiled, and its positioning is close to that of Qin PLUS. It is expected to be officially launched in the first quarter, offering two cruising ranges of 55km and 120km, of which the 120 km version will also be equipped with fast charging technology, and the price is expected to be between 120,000 and 150,000 yuan.

In addition to destroyer 05, it is reported that BYD will also release destroyer 07 in the fourth quarter of this year, which is close to Han. Judging from the two models of destroyers, the warship series is a bit like a "two-car strategy" with the dynasty series.

The warship series will also launch two SUVs of cruisers, which are expected to be sister models of Song PLUS and Tang. In addition, according to the data, there is also an MPV model named Landing Ship in the warship series, which is expected to be listed in the third quarter of this year and will be compared with the GL8 of Buick. At that time, the models of BYD Ocean Network will be more abundant than the current dynasty series.

In addition, according to the previous news, BYD will also release a high-end model this year with a price range of 500,000-800,000 yuan, and the new car will be classified under a brand-new high-end brand.

Write it at the end

The blade battery completes the distribution, the super hybrid DM-i continues to exert its strength, and BYD’s stamina is still full. Under such a rising trend, BYD’s main task this year is to complete the full roll-out of its product line. At that time, do you think BYD has the opportunity to catch up with Geely, Chang ‘an and Great Wall in total sales through new energy products? Welcome to pay attention to "car territory without borders", leave a message in the comment area below and share your views on BYD.

Where does Volvo come from to maintain "zero casualties" in traffic safety in the electrified era?

[EV Vision Original] If the concept of environmental protection has been integrated into the spiritual blood of Northern Europe, then the synonym of safety has also been integrated into Volvo’s brand gene.

Throughout the development of Volvo, you will find that in some historical nodes, there are security considerations. In 1944, the first one-piece cage body was invented, and in 1959, the three-point seat belt was invented. In that era when fuel vehicles dominated the world, Volvo created a new definition of safety.

Swedish engineer Nils Bohlin invented the V-type three-point seat belt in 1959.

So, when electrification has taken over the throne of fuel vehicles and is ready to unify the world, is Volvo ready for safety?

Yes, it did.

I remember once, Volvo put forward the vision of "zero casualties", which was successfully realized in 2020. Although this is a chapter that can’t be surpassed in the era of fuel vehicles, in the face of the advent of electrification today, Volvo has also begun its own evolution and learning, especially intelligence and networking, and integrated its corresponding technologies into the whole vehicle to meet the new needs of users for automobiles. And the assisted driving has become an important foundation of this development.

In our knowledge, some car companies are still promoting their own L2-assisted driving system. However, as early as 2012, Volvo launched a mass-produced Pilot Assist pilot system with L2 autopilot function, which means that Volvo has once again advanced its deployment in this field and once again led the technological pace of industry development.

So, how will Volvo "lead" in the future?

With regard to autonomous driving, Volvo’s advanced technology route can be said to be very unique. It does not follow the L1-L5 classification method commonly used in the industry, but adopts three stages: "Drive Pilot" (the driver is dominant), "Cruise Pilot" (advanced assisted driving under system monitoring) and "Ride Pilot" (without driver monitoring). This is nothing more than the support of our own technical strength, so we have such courage.

For future models, Volvo will be equipped with a central computing platform composed of NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips in terms of hardware. The data shows that the computing power of a single Orion-X chip can reach 254TOPS, which means that it can calculate 254 trillion times per second, which is 3.5 times that of Tesla HW3.0. At the same time, Volvo is also cooperating with Luminar, the top technology company in Silicon Valley. All Volvo cars will be equipped with 300-line +1550nm Iris second-generation vehicle-class lidar.

As a lidar manufacturer from the United States, the lidar produced by Luminar uses a laser source of 1550nm. At present, there are two kinds of lidar wavelengths on the market: 905nm and 1550 nm. Among them, the laser radar with wavelength of 905nm uses silicon-based photodetector as the emission source, which has the advantages of low cost and mature technology. However, it also has the disadvantage that the 905nm laser source is harmful to human eyes. Although it belongs to the invisible light source, under a certain energy, the laser of this wavelength will burn the retina when it irradiates human eyes, so when it is used as a laser radar emitter, the power should be reduced, so its ability to resist weather interference is weak and its penetration into rain and fog is insufficient.

The 1550 nm laser radar uses InGaAs near infrared detector as the emission source, and its laser is far away from the visible spectrum absorbed by human eyes. Compared with the 905 nm laser, the 1550 nm laser with the same power is 40 times safer for human eyes, so it has higher safety. Therefore, it can run at full power and has high penetration for extreme weather environment.

The data shows that Luminar lidar has a maximum detection range of 600m, and can detect about 10% low reflectivity targets within a distance of 250m, such as black cars at night and tires with the lowest reflectivity on the road, which is of great help to improve driving safety. And the radar itself also supports OTA upgrade, which can constantly update iterations.

In addition, it can also achieve a viewing angle of 120 horizontally and 26 vertically without rotating the radar, and can obtain high-resolution data at any position in the vertical direction in real time by dynamically changing the scanning mode.

In addition, Volvo’s future models will be equipped with a multi-sensor fusion sensing scheme consisting of 5 millimeter-wave radars, 8 cameras and 16 ultrasonic sensors, which improves the fault tolerance rate of the autonomous driving algorithm and greatly improves the safety factor.

In terms of software architecture, Volvo is one of the few automobile manufacturers with complete capability of independent research and development of ADAS. Except perception, everything from perception fusion, decision-making to control is self-developed. At the same time, Zenseact, a Volvo autopilot software development company, can provide a full stack of autopilot software. In addition to reaching a global strategic cooperation with the autopilot giant Waymo, it also cooperated with companies such as UBER to jointly accelerate the development of safe and stable autopilot algorithm logic.

In addition to intelligent driving, passive safety is still Volvo’s core DNA.

When the vehicle ushers in the electrification transformation, the structural safety of the vehicle itself is a little more than that of the traditional fuel vehicle. The first thing to bear the brunt of this is battery safety.

According to previous reports, Volvo Cars announced in June that it would cooperate with Northvolt to develop and produce sustainable battery products. The battery product will be produced with 100% renewable energy, and its energy density is expected to exceed 1000 Wh/L.. So, with such a high energy density battery, how should Volvo prevent it?

In view of the safety of high energy density batteries, Volvo has adopted six technical supports, namely, low heat conduction source blocking technology, barrier-free heat removal technology, intelligent cooling technology, millisecond fast power off technology, positive pressure blocking technology and automatic early warning technology, and their main duties are to block the thermal runaway of batteries to ensure the life safety of people in the car.

Not only that, Volvo will test each battery provided by the supplier separately instead of sampling to ensure reliability. According to the test, the battery pack carried on the whole vehicle can be soaked in more than 1m water depth for many hours and still be intact.

Previously, Volvo had put a Volvo XC40 pure electric version directly into a large glass pool with a water depth of 1.7m. After soaking for 4 minutes, the Volvo XC40 pure electric version can still be driven out smoothly, and the battery-controlled motors are in normal working condition. And after 12 hours of continuous immersion, Volvo XC40 pure electric battery pack still has no water, no leakage and no thermal runaway. It can be seen that Volvo’s battery protection level far exceeds the IP67 standard, so there is no doubt about Volvo’s battery safety.

In addition to waterproof, Volvo has also achieved all-round design and optimization in terms of battery collision safety. Generally speaking, when a pure electric vehicle collides, the battery will be extruded and deformed due to external force, which will eventually lead to rupture and short circuit, and lead to severe fire.

Volvo, on the other hand, has developed fire prevention and temperature control technology for battery packs, so that enough evacuation time can be reserved for drivers and passengers. Not only that, because the power battery occupies most of the chassis area, it puts forward new requirements for structure and energy absorption design.

Volvo has done a good job in protecting the battery pack structure from the structural design of the battery pack. In the collision test in Europe, the battery pack can remain intact and not deformed after the side collision, so as to ensure that the battery cells and circuits are protected from being squeezed and damaged in the vehicle accident, greatly reducing the accident risk and improving the safety of the vehicle.

Perhaps it has been brought to the extreme in terms of safety, but is Volvo’s label limited to this? The answer is: no.

Nowadays, the advanced level of intelligent cockpit has become the best test to show the real strength of a car company in intelligent technology. For future products, Volvo will be equipped with a self-developed integrated in-vehicle system-"Volvo S.OS", and its operating systems include Android Automotive OS, QNX, AUTOSAR and Linux.

This system can realize faster and more flexible function development and upgrade. Just like our smart phones, functions and applications, including service experience, can be upgraded remotely online through OTA.

In addition, at this year’s CES show, Volvo announced its cooperation with Qualcomm. In the future, Volvo pure electric SUV will use Qualcomm Snapdragon digital cockpit platform as the high computing power center, which can meet the higher requirements in image, audio and artificial intelligence, and has the advantage of ultra-low power consumption. Thanks to the new computing platform, the running speed of Volvo Car’s next-generation in-vehicle infotainment system will be increased by 2 times and the image generation speed will be increased by 10 times.

Finally, Volvo recently announced a cooperation with Epic Games, a game company, to apply Unreal Engine, a game development engine of Epic, to the brand-new all-electric flagship model of the next-generation Volvo car, so as to provide a more realistic visual effect for the digital cockpit through photo-level visualization technology and meet the new breakthrough of drivers and passengers in senses.

Write it at the end

As a car company that has developed for 95 years, the word safety is deeply rooted in Volvo’s brand gene, which is more important to consumers than fuel consumption and performance. With the advent of electrification, Volvo continues to lead the safety benchmark in the electrical age through its own vision and foresight, and as consumers, we continue to give Volvo such confidence and continue the concept of "zero casualties" to the end. We will wait and see.

The country has ushered in the first batch of car owners’ delivery ceremonies, and the listing of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is "arrogant"

Recently, through a reporter’s visit to 4S stores, it was found that the Eta Ursae Majoris Star Road, known as the "Three Good SUVs of Chery Group and the first model of Star Road Phase 2.0", has been on the rise for two weeks since its listing, and the popularity of many stores across the country has soared, with the phenomena of "test drive fever" and "delivery fever" appearing one after another.     

According to previous official information, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris started blind booking on December 27th and pre-sale on January 30th last year, and immediately received a warm market response, with 12,900 blind bookings and 5,118 large orders respectively. After the listing on February 21st, the new car basically continued the hot market situation. According to the sales staff, during this period, a large number of interested users entered the store for test drive every day, and the clues of potential customers doubled 10 times. At present, the number of test drive appointments in China has exceeded 10,000.
           

In the face of the surge in terminal demand, the delivery time of new cars has become the most concerned issue for many intended users. The reporter also contacted the insiders of Starway at the first time. Fan Xing, deputy general manager of the marketing center, revealed, "Qingdao Super Smart Factory, which produces Starway Eta Ursae Majoris, has adjusted its production plan at the first time, and its production capacity is rapidly climbing. As of March 7, it has delivered a total of 1,800 new cars. At present, the first batch of car delivery ceremonies have been carried out in Nanjing, Chengdu, Beijing, Hefei, Changsha, Xi’ an, Kunming and other cities across the country in an orderly manner, and the follow-up will fully usher in the delivery fever. "
           

In addition, with the gradual increase in the number of deliveries, the reputation of users of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris has gradually improved. On the one hand, during our visit, many interested users made decisions on the spot, and they all gave positive comments on Starway Eta Ursae Majoris, such as "Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is comparable to 400,000 joint venture luxury models in terms of design, performance and safety", "The price is real, but the configuration is comparable to that of C-class cars, with 10,086 likes", and so on.
           

On the other hand, according to Fan Xing, "among the first owners of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris, there have also been new changes in user portraits. First, the proportion of young users and female users has increased after the 1990 s; Second, the occupation is greatly tilted towards teachers, civil servants, corporate executives and other high-level people. " At the earlier listing meeting, Huang Zhaogen, general manager of Xingtu Marketing Center, said in an exclusive interview with reporters that more than half of the blind and large orders came from the joint venture brand "defection", and BBA accounted for 15%. It can be seen that the product value of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris, which is comparable to 400,000, has been trusted and recognized by users, which further reflects the luxury brand premium ability of Xingtu joint venture.
           

The industry analysts described two main reasons for the popularity of Star Road in Eta Ursae Majoris as very appropriate. First, they focused on users’ thoughts, provided unique user value twice as much as the retail price, and the retail price of 15.28–202,800 yuan was 20,000 lower than the blind subscription price. In addition, there was a lifetime warranty service for the first car owner with a few independent brands, which can be described as a pet for users.
           

Second, if the tram has surpassed the fuel truck and opened up the second track, then the Star Road Eta Ursae Majoris is the third avenue for new cars. Looking at the current automobile market, Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris can be said to be the most mature product in the oil-electricity transition period. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip+Lion Zhiyun 5.0, matching the L2.99 automatic assisted driving brought by Horizon TDA4 scheme, these are the excitement of tram fans. The CDC electromagnetic suspension system carried by the flying fish extrasensory chassis is also the only one in the 400,000 class. It can be said that Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris has a revolutionary driving experience of trams and the reliability and solidity of oil trucks. From the inside out, it fully conforms to the trend of the times, which is the third avenue of new cars.
           

According to the comprehensive market feedback, it can be predicted that with the delivery of new cars, Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris will be expected to become one of the largest potential stocks in the SUV market segment of 150,000-200,000 yuan. Let’s wait and see.
