1. NIO ET7 officially rolled off the production line today at Hefei Jianghuai NIO Advanced Manufacturing Base. Nio said the delivery of the new car will begin on March 28.

Independent car review: As the earliest new car-making force in the game, Weilai's status is now slightly embarrassing. On the one hand, the high price of its models has led to a sluggish sales volume, on the other hand, the praise of Weilai has gradually been surpassed by Xiaopeng Automobile and Ideal Automobile, and the development potential is relatively insufficient.
2. In a case related to the execution of the contract with First Planning (Beijing), Borgward Automobile stated that it had no property to enforce. Borgward's dealer network has also collapsed, with neither new cars for sale nor after-sales service. However, Borgward Automobile said that the maintenance channel of Borgward is still open, and existing owners can still carry out vehicle repairs.
Autonomous car review: Today's Shenzhou department is too busy to take care of itself, and it is almost unable to support the development of Borgward Automobile. On the other hand, the former owner Foton Automobile has completely abandoned this passenger car brand, so in this way, Borgward Automobile is equivalent to being sentenced to death.
3. Today, Wuling Automobile ushered in a new wave of price increases. The official guidance price increase ranges from 4,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan. Among them, the fashion model and the luxury model of the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV macaron version are priced at 32,800 yuan, 38,800 yuan and 44,800 yuan respectively. Nano EV Play, Play High Power Edition, Love And Disney Zootopia Limited Edition prices are 56,800 yuan, 58,800 yuan, 61,800 yuan and 66,800 yuan, respectively. This is already the second time that Wuling has raised prices, and in early February, Wuling has already made a price increase, and this price increase is far more than the first. Since the beginning of this year, nearly 20 car companies have raised prices.
Independent car review: Wuling Automobile price adjustment is not relying on sales and "swing spectrum", it is actually the current upstream raw material prices soaring, if the price is not increased, the terminal car companies will have the dilemma of selling a loss.
4. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology disclosed the declaration information of the new Audi Q6, which is positioned in a medium and large SUV, based on the MQB EVO platform, with a space layout of 3 rows and 7 seats. According to the current existing information, the new SAIC Audi Q6 will become the third SAIC Audi mass production car after A7L and Q5 e-tron, and the size of the new car is basically the same as that of Tuon, and the size of the car exceeds the Q7 in an all-round way, which has more advantages than the BMW X5L.
Autonomous car review: Although the appearance of the new Audi Q6 has changed the style of Audi, it is a great selling point for the Chinese people because of its extremely long wheelbase and considerable space.
5. BMW announced that its hydrogen energy model, the iX5 Hydrogen, has completed winter testing and has entered the final research and development stage before mass production, and completed mass production in the second half of this year. In severe cold conditions, the range of the model still reaches 500 kilometers, and it takes only 3-4 minutes to complete the charging. In terms of power, the hydrogen energy system provides BMW with a maximum power of 275 kilowatts, surpassing the BMW 3.0T version of the X5. At present, the two major deficiencies that limit BMW's development of hydrogen energy are mainly due to the shortage of charging stations and the high price of hydrogen energy models.
Independent car review: At present, although major car companies have gradually adopted hydrogen energy models, the current construction of hydrogen refueling stations is still in its infancy, so it is not realistic to want to go.
