The Baojunyue has also added a five-door model
Keywords: small electric SUV / 93,800 to 103,800 yuan / additional models
On April 12, Baojun added a 5-door model Plus while carrying out an annual update of its small pure electric SUV Yueye, and the new car is still positioned as a small pure electric SUV, with a price range of 93,800 to 103,800 yuan.
Considering that the design style of the "square box" remains unchanged in order to add new models, providing more interior space and a longer wheelbase (2560mm). Features include a black closed front grille, four-point LED daytime running lights and an off-road-inspired front bumper. In addition, the addition of official modified parts has certain benefits for consumers who want to personalize.
The interior logic is the same as the exterior, with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and an independent large-size LCD instrument panel, as well as a floating center control screen, emphasizing the material environmental protection and low odor emission. The seats are made of memory foam for enhanced comfort.
In terms of power, the motor has a maximum power of 102 horsepower, a top speed of 150 km/h, and an all-electric range of 401 km. At the same time, according to Baojun, the mapless city memory navigation assistance system will also be added to the new car.
Because it is an additional model, there is a high probability that the competitors of the 5-door version of Yueye will not change, including Aion AION Y, Geometry C, Nezha V, Leap T03, Chery Unbounded Pro and other models. Yueye's advantage lies in its unique positioning and shape, and the increased space effectively enhances its practicality.

The 2024 Denza N7 has been changed in shape and upgraded in configuration

The mid-size SUV has been optimized in terms of exterior design, removing the controversial mustache light cluster in favor of a cleaner design, and the LiDAR integration into the fog lamp areas on both sides also helps to further reduce the appearance redundancy.
The dimensions of the vehicle have not changed much from the previous model, with a length of 4.86 meters and a wheelbase of nearly 2.95 meters, and the style of the coupe-style SUV has remained unchanged. On the premise of maintaining the old configuration, the standard configuration of the NOA system of the whole series has been added. At the same time, the old model will also be updated after passing the OTA.
In terms of powertrain, the Denza N7 is available in single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive versions, with a maximum output of 228 hp and 308 hp respectively. The 550km model has a single-motor setup that delivers 228 hp, while the 702km and 630km versions offer more power, and the 630km version has a dual-motor system with a combined power of 524 hp for 000 km
The acceleration time is 3.9 seconds.
The Denza N7's competitors are still targeting the Tesla Model Y, NIO ES6 and Xpeng G6, and the more traditional method of increasing the configuration and reducing the price is also one of the concrete manifestations of the previous controversial form factor.
A new model of the Citroen Versailles C5 X

Since its launch, the C5 X has won some customers who are looking for something unique due to its blend of sedan, SUV and station wagon style, and this annual launch has given it a slight boost in product power, but its more unique styling and slightly more traditional configuration have also hindered the model from entering the true mass market.
The new V23 iCAR car was unveiled
Keywords: Pure electric off-road style SUV / price not announced / equipped with 4WD
On April 12, iCAR Automobile's new SUV model iCAR V23 was officially unveiled, as the first model in cooperation with Zhimi Technology, V23 is positioned as a pure electric small SUV, emphasizing off-road style. The car claims to have a range of up to 500 kilometers and may be shown to the public at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show.
The design of the V23 adopts the styling elements typical of hard-core SUVs (such as the BAIC 212 and Toyota FJ Cruiser), and the body size is slightly larger than that of its similar model, the Baojun Yue Ye PLUS, and the 19-inch and 21-inch wheels are available to enhance the sporty visual effect.
The interior design maintains rectangular elements with rounded corners, with a large floating central console and physical knobs with embossed decorations. In terms of power, the V23 is available in single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive versions, with a range of more than 400 km for rear-wheel drive and more than 500 km for all-wheel drive.
The iCAR V23 is a new electric small SUV launched by iCAR Motors, which is clearly inclined to off-road style, in contrast to the brand's iCAR 03. Although the V23 is designed with off-road at its core, in reality, like most all-electric models on the market, its primary use case is still expected to be concentrated in urban environments.
It is worth noting that although the iCAR V23 emphasizes its off-road capabilities, the autonomous driving assistance system that comes with the vehicle and is also the focus of the new car may make it difficult to find the focus. In today's market segments, consumers may pay more attention to the price and uniqueness of their vehicles.
At present, the V23 is not officially on sale. This means that in the future, the model may also be adjusted based on market feedback and further strategic planning.
