In terms of styling, Auchan X7 PLUS red version continues the design style of the original model, the only difference is the use of ultra-high chromaticity star red paint, bright red, golden red, dark red and other multi-color gradients interlaced, showing brilliant brightness and saturation. In terms of interior, Auchan X7 PLUS Red Edition adopts a new "Star Bright Red" design in the seats, armrest box, center console, etc. In terms of power, the new car uses blue whale's new generation NE 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 138 kilowatts and a maximum speed of 214km/h.
Autonomous car review: The overall red version of the model has not made significant changes to the X7 PLUS, which is more like a commemorative version of the model. Considering its big red color, if you are interested in the color matching, you can consider snapping it up.
2. Ningbo Yinyi Group said that in order to accelerate the company's strategic deployment in the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing, the company has decided to participate in the restructuring of Zhidou Automobile, a new force in car manufacturing, and intends to invest no more than 400 million yuan to obtain the actual control of the latter. Founded in 2015, Zhidou Automobile is jointly funded by New Ocean Electromechanical Group, Geely Holding Group, GSR Venture Capital Fund, etc., and is also one of the only 8 enterprises in China with independent and complete new energy vehicle production qualifications.
Independent car review: Zhidou Automobile mainly deeply cultivates the A00-level electric vehicle market, which currently has Baojun, Wuling and other car companies, and these two car companies have also achieved a surge in sales by relying on this market. Yinyi Group's choice to start with Zhidou may be precisely the potential of this mini-car market.
3. Following the cessation of China's car import business and car business, Honda's high-end brand Acura will withdraw from the Chinese market. The 4S store is waiting for the manufacturer's final notice, at present, GAC Acura has been unable to book a new car, and the factory has been caught in the rumor of suspension of production.
Autonomous car review: Honda's sales in China are soaring, but Acura's performance is unbearable. Although Acura has sold well in North America, it always feels a bit unsatisfactory in China.
4. Sony today announced that it will establish a new company in partnership with Honda Motor, which will specialize in the development and sale of electric vehicles, and the two companies will officially launch new models in 2025. Instead of purchasing manufacturing equipment, the new company outsourced initial vehicle production to Honda, while Sony developed a mobile service platform for its models, along with sensor and communications technical support. The partnership marks a substantial move by Sony into the electric vehicle sector, with Sony releasing a prototype electric SUV and announcing the establishment of Sony Mobility in January this year.
Autonomous car review: Sony has released its first SUV model, but as a technology giant, it may not be a good choice to directly enter the game to build a car, so Sony will rely on Honda for OEM in the early stage.
5. Ideal Car, a new car-making force, will launch its second model, the Ideal L9, which was previously code-named X01 and officially named ideal L9. The new car is positioned in a large SUV, and the front of the new car is surrounded by a headlight group with a combination of far and near light, and the side adopts a relatively simple line design. In terms of rear, the new car adopts a through-type tail light group design, which is obviously different from the ideal ONE. In terms of intelligent configuration, the ideal L9 will be equipped with intelligent driving services, including super intelligent parking, urban intelligent driving, car remote summoning, etc. It is expected that the price of the new car will be around 500,000 yuan.
Independent car review: The speed at which ideal cars release new models can be said to be the slowest among the new car-making forces, but its sales performance can beat Xiaopeng Automobile and Weilai in a second, and it has to be said that ideal cars belong to slow work.
