Friends who did not buy a car and wait, a variety of blockbuster new energy vehicles are coming!
A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially announced the 354th batch of "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements" (hereinafter referred to as the announcement), including the latest new energy products of many car companies, and there is no shortage of some ace models.

The most eye-catching thing in terms of independent car companies is that BYD has declared two new series of products, both the SEAL EV that benchmarks the Tesla Model 3 and the new plug-in model frigate 07.
Great Wall Euler declared a model called punk cat, from the appearance point of view, this car can almost be considered "pure electric four-door version of the Beetle", with a retro soft and cute shape, this car has accumulated a lot of fans after the release.
In terms of joint venture cars, FAW Audi declared the Q4 e-tron, which is Audi's first car on the MEB platform. FAW Toyota officially declared the bZ4X, which is a model developed by Toyota according to the e-TNGA architecture, different from the previous oil-to-electricity products, this car is the first pure electric model created by Toyota, representing Toyota's thinking on the electric era.
In addition, Huawei Ningde era Changan Automobile jointly built the first electric vehicle Avita 11 also officially landed in this announcement, which means that this car will soon meet with consumers, and this car also represents a new cooperative car manufacturing model, whether the product is successful is very important for this car model.
On the whole, there are a number of models with both strength and topic in this announcement, and being on the catalog also means that these models are not far from mass production. In today's new energy market competition is so fierce, these car companies will undoubtedly further stir the market.
So, how strong are these models? Where is it in the current market?
First, BYD continues to push multiple models Euler shines out the "electric Beetle"
BYD also declared two new cars this time, namely the seals that had been more vocal before and the frigate 07 of the warship series.
Seals are a relatively heavy new car that BYD will launch this year. Previously, many netizens and media speculated according to the exposed spy photos and parameter information that this seal is most likely a new car for BYD to benchmark Tesla Model 3.

The information released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also confirms this. Judging from the appearance of the model, the body proportions of the SEAL are somewhat similar to the Model 3, NIO ET5 and even BYD Han.
In terms of size, the car is positioned as a 5-seat medium and large pure electric sedan, with a length of 4800mm, a width of 1875mm, a height of 1460mm, and a wheelbase of 2920mm. The space in this car is still relatively large, and the ride experience of the vehicle will be more comfortable.
And the car will be launched in 3 versions, of which the four-wheel drive version of the front motor will use AC asynchronous motor, the rear motor will use permanent magnet synchronous motor, the maximum power of the front motor is 160kW (about 217 horsepower), the maximum power of the rear motor is 230kW (about 312 horsepower); the maximum power of the rear-drive version of the single motor is 150kW (about 204 horsepower) or 230kW (about 312 horsepower). At the same time, this car will also use BYD's lithium iron phosphate blade battery, which is expected to reach 550 to 700 kilometers of NEDC endurance.
BYD has always promoted the tactics of the car sea, and there are many new cars, but it has been suffering from the lack of a blockbuster model like Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. This year, BYD will continue to launch a number of new cars, but BYD is obviously also hoping to create a blockbuster car that can match the Model 3 and Model Y in this batch of new cars. Judging from the current news, the new SEAL car is likely to be the best candidate model for BYD's explosive car.
According to the news previously revealed, BYD's warship series models are all plug-and-mix models, and all of them are equipped with BYD's DM-i super hybrid technology. The warship series frigate 07 announced this time is also not unexpectedly a plug-in model.

The frigate 07 is 4820mm long, 1920mm wide, 1750mm high, has a wheelbase of 2820mm, and is positioned as a medium to large 5-seat SUV.
In terms of power, the frigate 07 is divided into three versions, of which the dual-motor version will carry two permanent magnet synchronous motors, the maximum power of the front motor is 145kW (about 197 horsepower), the maximum power of the rear motor is 150kW (about 204 horsepower), and the maximum power of the single motor version is 145kW (about 197 horsepower). Similarly, the car will also be equipped with BYD's lithium iron phosphate blade battery.
BYD's DM-i super hybrid technology can be said to have become a killer for BYD to seize the market share of new energy vehicles, and this year BYD will continue to use this technology to create a better classification of vehicles through the warship series models.
Great Wall's Euler brand also announced the information of punk cat models this time.
This car actually debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show last year, and as the flagship model of the Great Wall Euler, it has always attracted much attention.

The car is 4749mm long, 1989mm wide, 1725mm high and has a wheelbase of 2915mm. In addition, two versions will be available, rear-drive and four-wheel drive, respectively, equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries and lithium ternary batteries, with a cruising range of 500km/580km/600km. Both motors have a maximum power of 220 kW (about 299 hp).
The appearance of this new car is not much different from the previous exposure, and it is also in a retro style, very similar to the Volkswagen Beetle. As euler's flagship model, this punk cat with retro feelings is expected to attract many owners who prefer this type of retro car after its listing, and has the potential to become another explosive car after Euler's good cat.

In addition, the first model of the brand Avita, Avita 11 jointly created by Huawei, Ningde Times and Changan, was also announced this time, and the new car will be officially released at the Beijing Auto Show and delivered in the third quarter.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4880/1970/1601mm, and the wheelbase of the vehicle has reached 2975mm, which belongs to the medium-sized coupe SUV model, and the body size is between the Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe version and the Mercedes-Benz GLE coupe version.
▲ Avita 11
In terms of power, Avita 11 is equipped with Huawei's three-in-one electric drive system, the vehicle adopts four-wheel drive drive form, the front axle of the vehicle is equipped with an asynchronous motor with a power of 195kW (about 265 horsepower), the rear axle is equipped with a synchronous motor with a power of 230kW (about 312 horsepower), and the maximum power of the vehicle can reach 425kW (about 588 horsepower).
In terms of electric drive performance, Avita 11 is equipped with a ternary lithium-ion battery pack from the Ningde era of 90.38kW, and adopts the new generation of CTP technology of the Ningde era, and the mileage of the new car can reach about 600km.
As the first model created by the three giants, Avita 11 has entered the ranks of the head player in terms of configuration, and more importantly, this car has also opened a new car-making mode: supply chain companies are deeply involved in car-making, and the performance of this car will also be an important reference for this model, once this car is recognized by the market, thereafter, such car-making models may increase rapidly.
Second, Toyota took out the ace pure electricity The first MEB Audi debuted
In this announcement, it is not only the domestic car companies that highlight the key models, Toyota and Audi have also declared a pure electric vehicle model.
Toyota officially declared the first forward-developed pure electric vehicle bZ4X, which has been unveiled many times before at the Expo and the Guangzhou Auto Show, but it is a concept model, and this official declaration means that the mass production version is not far away.
Toyota bZ4X
The car's dimensions are 4690mm long, 1860mm wide and 1650mm high, positioning pure electric medium-sized SUVs, and the wheelbase of the vehicle is 2850mm, which is decent in terms of size and has no eye-catching data.
Judging from the declaration information, the car has two power versions, the single motor version will be equipped with a peak power of 150kW (about 204 horsepower), while the dual motor version will be equipped with a battery with a peak power of 80kW (about 108 horsepower) in the front and rear axles, and the comprehensive power will reach 160kW (about 217 horsepower).
On the whole, the gap between the two power versions of this car is not large, and it should be relatively close in acceleration capability.
In terms of batteries, the official in the declaration information did not indicate whether it is a lithium iron phosphate battery or a ternary lithium battery, only that it will use a lithium-ion power battery, referring to the overseas version, this car may use a ternary lithium battery, and the WLTC mileage may be around 500km.
Judging from the information declared, bZ4X also continues the consistent concept of Toyota, there is no very radical part, the appearance and power performance are not particularly prominent, such a configuration strategy has been very popular with consumers in the traditional fuel vehicle market, and in the ever-changing pure electric market, Toyota's car can achieve results, it remains to be verified.
In addition to Toyota, FAW Audi also declared Q4 e-tron, this car factory 4588mm, width 1865mm, height of 1626mm, wheelbase of 2765mm, from the size point of view, Q4 e-tron is not large, and Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ is relatively close.
▲ Audi Q4 e-tron
The car is also divided into two versions, namely 40 e-tron and 50 e-tron, the former equipped with a peak power of 150kW (about 204 horsepower) drive motor, the latter using a dual motor design, front and rear motor peak power of 80kW (about 108 horsepower) and 150kW (about 204 horsepower), the combined maximum power of 230kW (about 312 horsepower).
Due to the different power configurations, the acceleration performance of the Q4 50 e-tron should be significantly better than that of the 40 e-tron version.
In terms of batteries, both versions will use ternary lithium batteries, batteries will be produced by the Ningde era, and FAW-Volkswagen's Foshan plant will undergo final assembly.
It is worth noting that the car is the first Audi model produced on the Volkswagen MEB platform, coupled with the size similar to the ID.4 CROZZ, it was once considered to be a shell car, but as a pure electric model with an Audi standard, this car should be more refined in terms of tuning, and the driving experience should also be more able to reflect Audi's unique feeling.
From the perspective of size, the potential opponent of this car should be Tesla Model Y, which has become the well-deserved first in the pure electric SUV market, and whether the Audi Q4 e-tron has the ability to fight a war is still worth discussing.
Conclusion: Competition in the new energy vehicle market will intensify
In recent years, the domestic new energy vehicle market has flourished, and under the adverse influences of the outside world, it has still achieved a year-by-year growth, and in such an overall environment, domestic and foreign car companies have accelerated the pace of electrification.
At present, domestic car companies have begun a comprehensive electrification transformation, all car companies have pure electric models launched, and although the joint venture car is not moving fast, there are also a number of electric vehicles launched. As one of the world's largest car companies, Toyota Motor has also launched the first pure electric model with positive development after launching several oil to electricity.
With the continuous entry of joint venture car companies such as Toyota and the active electrification transformation of domestic car companies, the entire new energy vehicle market is becoming more lively, and for consumers, there are more models to choose from.
