European Technology News on April 12: With the arrival of April, car companies have handed over their sales report cards for the first quarter of 2024. In the first quarter, the sales volume of Wenjie Automobile reached 85,800 units, a year-on-year increase of 636.27%, taking the first quarter sales championship from Li Auto. In fact, since January this year, Wenjie Automobile has achieved a reversal over Li Auto, and has become the sales champion of new domestic car-making forces for three consecutive months.
At yesterday's Huawei Hongmeng Ecosystem Spring Communication Conference, Yu Chengdong, chairman of the board of directors responsible for intelligent vehicle solution BU, announced that the first official debut of the new generation of Wenjie M5 will be on April 23, and released a teaser picture of the new M5. It is clear from the teaser picture that the front face design of the extended range version is closed, and the air intake is retained below, with only minor changes, which looks very different from the old M5.
Today's netizen @ future study notes broke out a new generation of Wenjie M5 real car picture, the color of the car in the picture is gray, netizens said that this color seems to be called "Snow Peak Gray" color; However, from the front, the chrome strips, wheels, and the front logo are all black with a red brake caliper, and the protruding lidar can be clearly seen above the windshield. The blackened exterior design is somewhat closer to the sporty aspect, and the performance may be improved and optimized accordingly.
At present, Huawei has officially released the visual intelligent driving assistance technology (ADS basic version), which will be the first to be installed on the Zhijie S7. The current M5 is equipped with 1 overhead lidar, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 11 high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars, and is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-end intelligent driving system and HarmonyOS Intelligent Cockpit 3.0. If the new generation of Wenjie M5 is upgraded on this basis, it is expected to attract the attention of many consumers.
Now the biggest question is the price, will the price of the new M5 be cheaper than the current model on sale?
