Hello, everyone!
The Beijing Auto Show has been postponed, making the car circle at the end of April less topical. There is no offline auto show, we also have the online "MIIT Auto Show" to see. Every MIIT announcement is full of surprises, and the latest batch of 355 is no exception.
At the same time, the significance of the announcement is that these new cars are not far from being officially listed. Friends who are ready to buy new cars may wish to wait, for example, in this announcement, many new cars will be released and listed in the second quarter. In particular, there are several new Japanese cars that are even more important and new.
Who are they? Is it worth the wait? Take a look at it today!
Japanese Makoto × 2
In 2021, China's new energy vehicle sales reached 3.521 million units, accounting for 13.4% of total vehicle sales. In this increasingly huge market, 70% of domestic cars have become the absolute main force. A few brands such as Tesla and Volkswagen shared the remaining 30%. Such a hot and lively scene, but there is nothing wrong with Japanese brands.
Chinese brands are the main force of new energy
In the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology this time, the mass production version of dongfeng Nissan pure electric SUV Ariya finally appeared; following the same model of FAW Toyota, GAC Toyota version bZ4X also appeared in the announcement. Honda Electric E:NS1 is a step ahead and will be officially launched in about a week. The Japanese brand pure electric platform model has finally arrived. Electric cars, Japanese brands are finally going to play real!
Nissan Aria
Get up early in the morning and catch up late
Nissan was the forerunner of electric vehicles, and the Nissan Leaf was the world's most popular electric car before Tesla's rise. Unfortunately, this advantage has not been maintained until now. After the suspension of xuanyi pure electricity, Nissan is fully cleared in the domestic new energy market.
Nissan Leaf
Nissan Ariaya was also the first to debut among the new generation of Japanese brands. As early as 2020, it appeared at the Beijing Auto Show. At that time, toyota and Honda's pure electric strategy had not yet been announced. Two years later, however, the production version of Ariya is only late.
Ariya was born on Nissan's CMF-e pure electric platform and is positioned as a compact SUV. Exterior, interior, etc., we can already see through the overseas version of the model. In terms of size, it is slightly larger than volkswagen's ID.4. Overall, it has kept pace with the times, but it does not have as many gimmicks as the new forces.

From the current information, the domestic Ariya has two versions of 242 horsepower single motor front drive and 435 horsepower dual motor four-wheel drive. Combined with the declaration information and the overseas version of the model that has been listed, the front-drive version may have a battery life of 550km under the CLTC standard.
Toyota bZ4X
This time it was really eTNGA
FAW Toyota's bZ4X has entered the pre-market warm-up stage, and gaga motor Toyota's sister models have also been officially unveiled. Interestingly, the north-south Toyota version of the bZ4X looks exactly the same, with a smaller gap than C-HR and Yize. Even if this is produced in different factories, the two cars sold in different stores will share the name bZ4X.
Previously, North and South Toyota released an electric version of C-HR and Yize, and sales cannot be said to be obscure, but not worth mentioning. In addition to factors such as overconfidence in pricing, the technology of the two cars is indeed not mature enough. The bZ4X under the eTNGA architecture is a more mature tram.
Definitely Toyota black history
Positioned in the compact class, the bZ4X can be seen as a RAV4 in the era of electrification. In the future, it will compete directly with volkswagen ID.4 and Nissan Ariya. The power parameters, mileage, and exterior interior design have been fully exposed before.

Specific configuration information has yet to be further exposed, such as the two-point configuration of the special-shaped steering wheel and steer-by-wire system, which configuration will be mounted on.
Who is more reliable?
I have to say that these three electric vehicles launched by the japanese top three seem to have outstanding highlights. They are all in the same way as the Volkswagen ID. series: to bring electric vehicles close to the experience of traditional cars. Compared with gimmicks and intelligence, they pay more attention to practicality.
Nissan Aria (Overseas Version)
At present, bZ4X and Ariya are worth looking forward to. As far as the product strength revealed so far is concerned, the two models are able to compete directly with ID.4, and whether they can go to a higher level depends on whether the price is reasonable. For consumers who want to choose traditional brand electric vehicles, these two cars are options worth considering.
Toyota bZ4X overseas version
Honda's e: NS1 is more like a traditional oil to electricity. In Honda's own planning, it is also a transitional model. As an electric vehicle, the same level already has a richer and more reliable domestic new energy vehicles to choose from. In particular, the current pre-sale price of the car is not attractive.
However, the fuel brother model of the e:NS1 appeared in this issue of the announcement, but it is a key model.

The new generation of XR-V
For most of the two years, the Haval H6's position on the SUV sales list was hard to shake. But in fact, XR-V and Binzhi brothers combined, may be the real sales king of SUVs. Even today, eight years after listing, the monthly sales of the two are still considerable.
The current XR-V
This time, the new XR-V is officially unveiled. At the same time, the exterior styling of the overseas HR-V/Vezal was introduced, instead of the previous model, and redesigned for the Chinese market.
New XR-V
In terms of size, length and width have been increased compared to the current XR-V, the wheelbase is unchanged, and the height is shorter. It is still the smaller one in its class, but the space of the current X-RV is magic, with a higher spatial experience. Judging from the body structure, the new XR-V should also maintain this advantage.
New XR-V Interior (Overseas Edition)
This time, the new XR-V only declared a version of the 1.5L self-priming engine, with a maximum horsepower of 124 horsepower. In Europe, Japan and other markets, this generation of models is mainly hybrid, so it is likely to introduce a 1.5L hybrid system in the future to replace the current 1.5T model.
New Binzhi
What it will be like
Now that the new XR-V is here, we might as well predict its sibling model, Binzhi. You onion master may have said: Replace the tail standard Dongfeng Honda with Guangqi Honda? It's not that simple... A very different version of HR-V has emerged overseas.
The US version of HR-V is an entry-level compact SUV based on the Civic platform. Compared with the prototype European version of the XR-V, the Japanese version of HR-V, the AMERICAN version has more space. By analogy, the positioning is similar to Toyota's Corolla Rebbe and Peak Landa. According to previous news, two different versions of HR-V will be introduced to the domestic market. It is said that it will be used as a replacement model for XR-V and Binzhi respectively.
Of course, there is also a possibility. The Chromia is still the twin of the XR-V. The American version of HR-V will use other names and be introduced to The Production of Hiromoto and Higashimoto. In this way, both Honda's product lines will be greatly enriched. For consumers, there are also more options.
The Civic meets the hybrid again
The Civic finally has a hybrid version. The combination of Civic and i-MMD has always been expected by consumers, and this time the dream has finally come true. Unlike the overseas hybrid version, which is based on the hatchback Civic, this time the sedan hybrid Civic that is not yet available overseas has been introduced.
A long time ago, in 2007, The Civic also introduced a hybrid model. At that time, together with toyota Prius, it was one of the pioneers of hybrid in the Chinese car market. Of course, at that time, the market environment and hybrid technology were not mature, and the sales volume of the Hybrid Civic was not enough to describe.
The 2007 Hybrid Civic rim is distinctive
Judging from the declaration information, the dynamic parameters of the hybrid version of the Civic are basically the same as those of the hybrid version of accord. A higher configuration than the fuel edition Civic was declared on the configuration. In terms of appearance, it is only in the rim, tail marker, hidden exhaust and other details, which can be distinguished from the fuel version. Compared with the two main forces of Corolla Shuangqing and Leiling Shuangqing, the hybrid version of Civic should be more inclined to home consumers.
In terms of pricing, the price of the New Civic Hybrid Edition will not be very low. Combined with the current Pricing Strategy of Honda models, you can refer to the current Price of civic 280Turbo models: it may start from 150,000. Judging from the 18-inch rim that has not been used in the fuel version, the hybrid version of the top may be more expensive, perhaps around 180,000.
New car pick-up
In addition to a few Japanese models, there are also several brand new cars in this announcement that are worth seeing. Space is limited to give you a brief inventory, everyone is interested, we will talk in detail in two days.
1. Ideal L9
Representing the ideal L9 is one step closer to the official listing, this time also shows the complete body parameters and power parameters. Would it be more popular as a larger range extender dad car?
2. AITO Asking M7
With the AITO brand with Huawei background, the first product is difficult to say mature in the M5. The Inquisition M7 will be a 5-meter 6-seat SUV. At the very least, it is more mature in terms of external design.
3. Roewe RX9
Previously, Roewe's flagship model was the hardcore off-road vehicle RX8, while the new RX9 was a large-size SUV with a load-bearing type. Not small, bold design, will it be a qualified dad car?
