Recently, there has been new news about the new large SUV of the ideal car codenamed X01! According to relevant information, the ideal X01 is expected to usher in the first launch in April this year and begin to be delivered in the second half of this year. In addition, Ideal will also launch a new MPV model in 2023 to enter new areas.
According to the official introduction, the new car positions a large SUV, the same level as the Mercedes-Benz GLS, the length, width and height are 5200/1998/1800mm, the wheelbase is 3100mm, which is nearly 17cm more than the ideal ONE on sale in terms of length and wheelbase! In terms of shape design, the ideal X01 front face cancels the traditional middle net, which looks more like a new energy vehicle than the ideal ONE, but the side lines have not changed much, but for the first time, a hidden door handle has been adopted.
In terms of interior, the currently exposed ideal X01 has two interior designs, one is to cancel the traditional instrument, using a HUD head-up display system, with a central control suspension large screen design. The other is a triple screen similar to the ideal ONE, but with a larger screen size and an OLED display panel. As for which option will eventually be adopted, it is not yet known. In terms of intelligent hardware, the ideal X01 will be equipped with L4 level automatic driving capabilities of hardware, including AP controller - horizon J3 + J5 chip, SP controller - customized Orin-X chip, 1 128-line lidar, 1 DMS driver detection system, 5 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar and 12 8-megapixel high-definition cameras.
At the level of the power system that everyone cares about, because the vehicle is larger and heavier, the ideal X01 will adopt a new set of range extender plug-in hybrid system, and the range extender will be upgraded from the Dongan 1.2T three-cylinder engine on the ideal ONE to the 1.5T four-cylinder range extender authorized by BMW and produced by the mianyang Xinchen Power joint venture, code-named CE15, using the miller cycle common in hybrid vehicles, with a thermal efficiency of 40%. This CE15 engine we speculate may be the previous BMW CE16 1.6T cylinder shrinkage high thermal efficiency version. The drive motor of the vehicle will come from the Great Wall Honeycomb power, and with a 44.5kWh lithium battery pack and a 65L fuel tank, it will have a pure electric endurance of 155km under the WLTC condition, and a total endurance of more than 800km with full oil and electricity.
It should be known that the ideal ONE with the characteristics of oilable and electric, as well as the relatively fashionable model tonality, not only in the new energy market to gain good sales, and even many users who originally planned to buy traditional SUVs such as Highlander have switched to the camp of ideal ONE.
Mavericks released the official map of the NV from the tour
A few days ago, a new new energy brand - Niu Innovative Energy (NIUTRON) announced the establishment, in fact, this brand is the new brand established by Li Yinan, the founder of The Niu Electric Vehicle that we are familiar with, in order to enter the automotive field. Just a month after the establishment of Niu Chuangxin Energy, they released the official map of the first model from the Youjia NV, and said that the new car will be booked in the first half of this year and will begin to be delivered in September.
The Ziyoujia NV is a new energy medium and large SUV, the front face adopts a penetrating middle grid, with a transverse light bar and a circular daytime running light design, which is reminiscent of The Ford Bronco.
Compared with the front of the car, the side and tail design of the Self-Touring NV is more personalized. The whole vehicle adopts a floating roof design, and the C-pillar adds a light bar that can display the current power of the vehicle. In the middle of the tail is the through-type taillight of the segmented light source, and the outer contour of the rear windshield has a very unique black border shape, which has indeed not been seen in other models, and whether there is a special purpose is still unknown.
According to the official announcement, the self-touring NV positioning medium and large SUV, the length, width and height are 4915/1950/1750mm, the wheelbase is 2900mm, which is the standard body of the medium and large SUV. However, the interior design of the vehicle has not been announced by the official, and it is not clear whether there will be a 6/7-seater model.
It is understood that the self-touring NV is built with a steel-aluminum hybrid architecture, using a front McPherson, rear multi-link suspension. In terms of power system, the self-touring NV provides two kinds of power, pure electric version and extended range version, and both are dual-motor four-wheel drive system, and the official said that the 0-100km/h acceleration of pure electric version and extended range version is 5.9 seconds. As for the parameters of the power system, endurance, range extender cylinder number and other information, the official has not yet been announced, perhaps until the official release of the mass production car in the future.
Jetway T-X hardcore SUV concept car
A few days ago, Jietu released a hard-core SUV concept car T-X, which belongs to the pioneering work of Jietu's new T series models, and the future T series will also give birth to off-road vehicle products of various sizes and positioning. Such a product concept is consistent with the already successful tank 300, 400, 500, 700, 800 series off-road vehicles.
It should be noted that at present, the Jetway T-X is still in the pure concept car stage, so in addition to the shape, other information is not known. From the concept car point of view, T-X adopts the common square box shape of off-road vehicles, the middle net adopts an integrated blackening design, the interior is the English spelling of the luminous JETOUR brand, and the headlights on both sides use a horizontal and vertical interlaced layout, and the style of the whole vehicle is not much different from the off-road vehicles such as tank 300 and Ford Bronco.
As a concept car, the Jetway T-X uses hidden door handles and open door designs, and it is estimated that future production versions should return to the traditional door structure. As for the power system, the official only said that the future T series models will provide a variety of fuel power of 1.0T, 2.0T, 3.0T, and there are also hybrid, pure electric models to choose from.
Interestingly, many netizens said after seeing the side design of the Jetway T-X that this car is very similar to the side of the Land Rover Defender, and I don't know if you agree with this view? Not surprisingly, a production version of the T-X will be available in 2023, and the main competitor will be the currently hard-to-find Tank 300. Considering that Great Wall Motors' reputation in the field of off-road vehicles is very solid, and Jietu, as a sub-brand of Chery, is far inferior to the tank series in terms of sound volume and recognition, it is probably not an easy task to directly challenge the best-selling models in this level.
Subsidies for new energy vehicles will decline by 30% in 2022
In the blink of an eye, it is already 2022, after the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four major departments jointly issued the "Notice on the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in 2022" officially began to be implemented. From January 1, 2022, the subsidy standard for all new energy vehicles will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021. In addition, 2022 will also be the last year for new energy vehicles to enjoy subsidies, and from January 1, 2023, new energy vehicles will no longer enjoy subsidy policies.
Through the above table, we can intuitively see the difference between before and after the subsidy. After the implementation of the new policy, some car companies have raised the price of products for the reduction of subsidies, and some "conscience" car companies have opened a time-limited preferential policy, as long as consumers buy cars within a limited time, manufacturers will pay for the part of the price difference that has declined. It should be noted that all models that enjoy new energy subsidies, the official guidance price must be within 300,000 yuan, if more than 300,000, it is not able to enjoy the subsidy policy.
What is more serious is that in addition to the decline of new energy subsidies, 2022 is also the last year for new energy models to enjoy the purchase tax exemption policy. From January 1, 2023, new energy vehicles, including pure electricity, plug-in hybrid, and range extender, will no longer enjoy subsidies and tax exemptions. Assuming that a pure electric vehicle that is now priced at 200,000 yuan and has a range of 500km, in the case that the manufacturer does not privately subsidize the price of the vehicle, the guidance price will become 212,600 yuan next year, and at the same time, the purchase tax of 18,814 yuan will have to be paid when buying a car, which is equivalent to spending more than 30,000 yuan more than 2022! So those who have the idea of buying new energy vehicles can grasp it!
BMW's sales in China have won three consecutive titles
Recently, various companies have successively released sales data for 2021, and BMW is no exception. According to its official data, in 2021, bmw brand + MINI brand sold 846237 new cars in China, an increase of 8.9% year-on-year, becoming the sales champion of luxury brands in the Chinese market for the third consecutive year.
In addition, BMW's new energy vehicles in 2021 have also begun to gradually develop, with annual sales exceeding 48,000 units, an increase of 69.6% year-on-year. It can also be seen that even in the era of new energy, the premium ability of the old luxury brand is still strong, even if the vehicle is not as good as the new force of the price car in terms of endurance and performance, it can still attract many consumers to buy it.
Among BMW's main competitors, Mercedes-Benz sold 758863 units in China, down 2% year-on-year; Audi sales of 701289 units, down 3.6% year-on-year. In fact, students who pay attention to the 2021 car market should all know that in the middle of the year, because of the shortage of chips, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have experienced different degrees of production cuts, when only BMW can give priority to chip supply by relying on closer cooperation with suppliers, and the hot-selling 3 Series, 5 Series, X3 and other models have also increased prices. Because of this, bmw can shake off the sales of Mercedes-Benz and Audi behind it in 2021 with as many as 100,000 units, which can be described as a ride.
