As we all know, there have been many revelations about the iPhone 16 series long before the release of the iPhone 15 series. In line with the principle of "bold assumptions, careful verification", we will still learn about predictions or revelations about new models to see what new things Apple may do next year.

Recently, Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu revealed some details about the iPhone 16 Pro. He introduced,The device will feature a faster 5G modem, Wi-Fi 7, and a new ultra-wide-angle lens at the rear.

In a note to investors, Jeff Pu based his predictions for the iPhone 16 series on his sources in Apple’s supply chain.

He revealed that the size of the new iPhone will be 0.2 inches larger than the current 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, that is, the standard version iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will increase to 6.3 inches, and the larger iPhone 16 Plus and Pro Max models will become 6.9 inches – In contrast, Huawei Mate 60 Pro is 6.82 inches in size.

Coincidentally, Tianfeng International industry analyst Guo Mingxuan and DSCC CEO Ross Young have reported that iPhone 16 series will be larger in size.

And thanks to the larger fuselage size,Apple will be able to carry the same quadruple prism periscope head as the iPhone 15 Pro Max on the relatively small iPhone 16 Pro model, and will finally support 5x optical zoom.

Jeff Pu emphasized that both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will feature 12 million-pixel quadrilateral prism periscope heads for better zoom.

But in this way, the more widely applicable triple telephoto seems to be gone. If Apple still maintains the 3-lens module, the lack of 3x optical telephoto becomes a loss.

Jeff Pu said in the report that Apple plans to upgrade the super wide-angle lens for the Pro series models, and this lens has not been moved since iPhone 13 Pro.

The ultra-wide-angle lens on the iPhone 16 Pro series will use 48 million pixel sensor, a huge leap over the current 12 million pixels. Better ultra-wide-angle quality can also improve the utilization rate of ultra-wide angle to some extent.

Apple’s A-series chips have changed this year, and the appearance of the A17 Pro has changed the next naming rules. Not surprisingly, the iPhone 16 Pro will be equipped with a new A18 Pro chip, built on the same 3nm process as the A17 Pro. The memory is still estimated to be 8GB.

It is worth noting that iPhone 16 Pro changes in terms of connectivity, whether it is Wi-Fi or 5G, iPhone 16 Pro will be upgraded. Jeff Pu speculates that the new iPhone will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem, which can achieve 5G download speeds of up to 7.5 Gbps.

While the iPhone 15 Pro was the first to introduce support for WiFi 6E, next year’s iPhone Pro will likely feature WiFi 7. The latest Wi-Fi standard has speeds of up to 46 Gbps, four times that of WiFi 6.

But support is support. If you want to enjoy the speed of WiFi 7, you also need the corresponding network speed and router, and WiFi 6 routers are not yet popular… I can only say that in the future, it is no problem to use the mobile phone for two more years.

Jeff Pu also predicted the standard iPhone 16. He said that the iPhone 16 will still use a dual-camera module, and the ultra-wide-angle lens will retain 12 million pixel sensor, but will not support macro function.

iPhone 16 standard model should be the A17 didn’t run, after all, to pull the gap with the A17 Pro. The good news is that the memory is 8GB, but the 5G modem will not be upgraded. In terms of connectivity, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also finer – they will support WiFi 6E, not WiFi 7.

The above information is an early reference, Apple is expected to launch iPhone 16 series in September next year, the future we will continue to pay attention to Apple and the new iPhone.

Apple launches a new iPhone every year, and we haven’t seen a refreshing update on the iPhone in years – oh, the last one was called "Dynamic Island". Many users and fans of competing products expressed dissatisfaction and ridicule at these small fixes.

Apple does not tweak new iPhone every year, but it does upgrade. In a recent interview with Brut., Apple CEO Tim Cook answered the question "Is it necessary to launch a new iPhone every year?"

"I think it’s a great thing to have a iPhone every year for people who want it," he said. Apple promotes the practice of users trading in old phones for new ones. So if the phone still works, Apple resells it (recycles it).

If it doesn’t work, Apple has a way to disassemble it and recycle the material to make new iPhone. This is also in line with Apple’s environmental values, although the idea of releasing iPhone annually seems to contradict environmental sensitivity.

But Cook believes that Apple is committed to maximizing the value of older iPhone. iPhone 13 Pro series is still the most worth buying iPhone model in the past 5 years, if iPhone 16 Pro series still has no upgrades, then I may still retain that view.

　　China News Service, Shanghai, July 23rd (Wang Gupi) The fourth Bilibili Macro Link two-dimensional concert hosted by Bilibili bullet comment network, China’s largest young people’s trend culture and entertainment community, was held in Shanghai on the evening of the 23rd. Under the high temperature of 40 ° C that day, 10,000-person two-dimensional fans from all over the country showed undiminished enthusiasm and shared this annual "two-dimensional event" in China.

　　Bilibili Macro Link (hereinafter referred to as "BML") is an annual large-scale offline party brand created by Bilibili bullet comment network (hereinafter referred to as "bilibili"), a cultural gathering place of China’s two dimensions (generally referring to Animation, Comic, Game, Virtual Idol, etc.) and the largest young people’s trend culture and entertainment community in China. In recent years, it has formed an increasing influence across the country.

　　According to Chai Xujun, general manager of the cultural division of bilibili, BML’s name comes from a programmer’s "brain hole". "Macro refers to the macro command in the computer. We think this activity should be able to connect a very’grand ‘group of two-dimensional audiences, so there is such a name." And from the first 800-person small performance to this year’s 10,000-person scale, BML’s "macro" wish has been gradually realized.

　　At the concert that night, in addition to the popular "UP masters" from the bilibili music district, dance district and other major sectors, the organizers also invited well-known foreign stars such as Miyazuki, who had sung interludes for "Digital Baby", to help perform and interact with Chinese fans.

　　It is worth mentioning that the world’s first Chinese virtual singer Luo Tianyi and the well-known Japanese virtual idol Miss Black and White also took the stage that night with the latest holographic technology.

　　"We want to give all two-dimensional fans a carnival experience. It’s a concert, and it’s a two-dimensional music festival," Chai Xujun said.

　　According to the organizers, a total of 12,000 tickets for this year’s BML were sold out in less than two hours. Among them, the most expensive 1280 yuan (RMB) infield tickets were "sold out" in 4 minutes. The main force of ticket purchases this year is the "post-95s" who do not seem to have high spending power.

　　"I have been registering for bilibili for many years. I am very curious about what my friends who like the two-dimensional world are like, and I also want to see the behind-the-scenes look of bilibili who has been with me for so long. It’s like wanting to meet an old friend, so when I see BML, I immediately grab the ticket." "After 95" freshman "Yin Lin" said.

　　Chen Rui, chairperson of Bilibili, told reporters that in today’s growing spiritual demand, new forms of cultural consumption are also emerging, young people are more willing to accept new things, and the need for cultural consumption structure to develop in a diverse direction is becoming increasingly obvious. "For example, when we started BML, we just wanted to give everyone an opportunity for offline communication, but we didn’t expect to end up with the current 10,000-person scale."

Recently, Dayao Beverage has launched a variety of new products and upgraded the quality of big soda to a juice version, preparing for the upcoming peak season of the beverage industry. In the process of continuously meeting the diverse needs of consumers, Dayao Beverage practices the concept of long-term doctrine, using this as a guide to pursue the common improvement of categories, quality and brands, so that more consumers can feel the "refreshing atmosphere" of national soda.

It’s not a good idea.The big kiln soda has been newly upgraded, and the juice content is the core

In the era of quality consumption, the consumption scene, consumption demand and sales channels of China’s beverage market are becoming increasingly diverse. The consumer side not only presents diverse needs, but also has increasing requirements for quality, not only to drink well, but also to drink well, and even to satisfy emotional value. Because of this, "quality-price ratio" instead of "cost performance" is becoming a new consumption concept that a considerable number of consumers agree with and pursue.

In the big soda category, the big kiln has always been known for its good drink, large quantity and high cost performance. Under the trend of quality-to-price consumption, the big kiln drinks continue to up the ante in terms of category and quality, and pry the market with high quality-to-price bottles of juice soda, so as to realize the long-term repurchase of products at the end point and establish a long-term deep link with consumers.

For a long time, Dayao Beverage has used "big soda" as a brand strategic positioning through detailed market research and judgment to consolidate the core characteristics of "big soda and aerated drinks". At present, Dayao Beverage has listed carbonated drinks, fruit and vegetable juice drinks, plant protein drinks, and functional drinks in four categories. In terms of taste innovation, Dayao Beverage has launched Qu Jie soda sparkling water, small kiln fruit steam, Chayuanxiang juice sparkling tea, pomelo love honey pomelo sparkling tea series, etc. In 2023, Dayao Beverage launched energy coffee functional drinks.

This time, the classic carbonated product family added 520ml large glass bottles of pineapple-flavored juice soda, and also launched three portable pineapple, lime, and frozen pear, bringing a more refreshing experience to the whole people in midsummer. At the same time, the official announcement of the big kiln drinks increased the juice content of the three classic products, the big kiln guest, the big orange kiln Nuo, and the big kiln Liai, and upgraded it to juice soda, integrating the original classic taste with the juice demand. On the basis of retaining the core characteristics of "refreshing atmosphere", up the ante juice soda category. Previously, in order to meet the juice needs of young people, the big kiln has launched the big fruit juice in 2023, featuring the "chewing and drinking" big fruit juice, which truly returns to the original taste of fruit.

It is worth mentioning that, no matter how the product is upgraded, Dayao Beverage has always regarded quality management as the top priority of product development, adhered to the implementation of the "0471" quality management strategy, and controlled the quality from the whole process of supplier management, transportation and warehousing, environmental hygiene, and production technology, so that consumers can rest assured.

In addition, the quality of the newly upgraded Big Kiln Juice Soda has been greatly improved, but the product maintains the original 520mL specification, and the price remains unchanged, insisting on large quantity and high quality. Under the guidance of quality and price ratio, Big Kiln drinks have now been recognized by more and more consumers, providing strong support for the national market.

It’s not a good idea.Nationalized strategy-driven, long-term approach leads sustainable development

In the current practice of high-quality development requirements, it is essential for enterprises to adhere to the long-term approach, focus on the future, take a long-term perspective, give full play to the company’s determination, resilience and vitality, and pursue excellence in brand, quality and word-of-mouth, so as to create more cost-effective beverages for consumers.

Among them, Dayao Beverage will make nationalization the core strategy for the long-term development of the enterprise and firmly implement it. At present, Dayao Beverage has built seven production bases across the country. In 2017, Ningxia Dayao Beverage Production Base was officially put into operation; in 2021, Dayao Production Base in Liaoning, Jilin, and Shalqin, Inner Mongolia was put into operation one after another; in 2022, Anhui Funan Factory was put into operation; in 2023, Dayao chose to build two new production bases in Baoji, Shaanxi and Tai’an, Shandong, and will be put into operation one after another this year.

The production capacity of the seven major production bases of Dayao Beverage covers seven regions in North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest and Northwest China. It can not only efficiently guarantee production capacity, deliver in time, shorten the logistics radius, reduce costs and increase efficiency, but also control the quality from the raw materials, production environment, packaging, transportation and other aspects of the product, so that consumers can drink more assured, and provide sufficient and rich supply and quality assurance for the "North Business and South Aid" plan proposed by the southern market.

In the era of intensive farming in the industry, Dayao Beverage is well aware that long-term principles must achieve sustainable development. Therefore, in the early stage of its establishment, Dayao Beverage aimed to build "intelligent, digital, multi-functional, high-reliability, long-life, heavy quality, and safety" factory production technology. Product Research & Development focuses on all high-value attributes of carbonated beverage products throughout the life cycle, and fully introduces ecological concepts. In the process of factory construction and management, multiple energy-saving equipment such as electric energy metering, water saving, solid waste disposal and other intelligent equipment are invested to reduce excessive energy consumption, realize waste heat recovery and recycling, and achieve emission reduction from the source to ensure maximum utilization of resource recycling, so as to achieve clean production management.

Long-term perseverance has resulted in the high-quality development of the enterprise and the recognition of authority in the industry. Many factories of Dayao Beverage have won national and provincial honorary titles such as "Green Factory", "Digital Workshop" and "Intelligent Factory", highlighting the recognition of consumers and all sectors of society for the development achievements of Dayao.

In the future, Big Kiln Beverage will continue to embrace technological innovation, enhance its independent research and development capabilities, and ensure product quality through digitalization, intelligence, and information technology. This will provide momentum for the sustainable and efficient development of enterprises and bring the best quality-to-price soda to the people.

The acceleration time of Mercedes-Benz E300 is 6.6 seconds per 100 kilometers, which can directly reflect the dynamic performance of the car.

Among the vehicles with the same displacement, the vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines usually perform better in the acceleration of 100 kilometers, because they have stronger power output and a wide maximum torque output range, so that vehicles can exert their best acceleration ability at low speeds.

As a mid-range model of Mercedes-Benz, E300 has been completely redesigned in appearance and interior.

It is equipped with the interior ambience lights of Mercedes-Benz S-Class models, which makes the lighting combination in the car more luxurious when the lighting system is turned on at night.

In addition, the headlights can automatically adjust the brightness according to the external environment, providing a smarter lighting experience.

Volvo pulled out of the pole star and its share price soared by 30%.

Volvo Car announced that it will no longer provide funds for Polar Star and plans to reduce its holdings. The reduced shares will be mainly taken over by Geely.

In the past, some analysts believed that Volvo held a large number of polar stars, which dragged down Volvo.

The market reaction confirmed this view, and Volvo’s share price soared just after the announcement.

Volvo pulled out and its share price soared.

Volvo Car (hereinafter referred to as Volvo) announced that it would stop blood transfusion to Polar Star and adjust its shares.

At present, Volvo is evaluating the distribution of shares in Polar Star to its shareholders, and Geely Sweden is the potential main recipient.

Some analysts believe that Geely will replace Volvo’s position as an important shareholder of Polar Star.

For Volvo’s reduction, Geely responded that it supports Volvo to concentrate resources on developing itself.

Geely also stated that it will continue to provide comprehensive business and financial support for Polar Star.

Geely also added that supporting Polar Star will not make Geely reduce its holdings of Volvo. This will be added, because only last month, Geely reduced its holdings of Volvo.

Volvo currently holds 48% of the shares of Polar Star. Some analysts once thought that holding such a high share was a burden for Volvo.

The market proved that this was the case. After Volvo announced its withdrawal from Polar Star, its share price once rose by 30%.

The share price of Polar Star once fell more than 15%, and its market value shrank by nearly 86% compared with the highest value.

The polar star, which just announced layoffs not long ago, is now worse, and the recent situation is in sharp contrast with Volvo.

Volvo is in a good situation, but Polar Star is in a bad situation.

On February 1st, Volvo released its performance report, which showed that its global sales in 2023 was 708,000 vehicles, driving the company’s revenue to increase by 21% year-on-year to 399.3 billion Swedish kronor (equivalent to about RMB 275.9 billion).

Excluding joint ventures and associated companies, the company’s basic operating profit is about 17.694 billion yuan, up 43% year-on-year.

What is even more rare is that the transformation results are also good:

Volvo sold 113,000 pure trams last year, up over 70% year-on-year, and the sales volume of plug-in hybrid vehicles was 152,000, up 10% year-on-year.

Simply calculate, the sales volume of Volvo’s new energy vehicles accounts for over 37.4% of the total sales volume.

Jim Ron, CEO of Volvo Cars, summed it up:

In 2023, Volvo’s revenue and profit reached new highs, which was an important milestone on the company’s transformation road.

In 2017, Polar Star, a joint venture between Volvo and Geely, did not perform well last year.

The annual sales volume was only 54,600 vehicles, and the total loss in the first three quarters was equivalent to RMB 5.27 billion.

Just announced 15% layoffs last week, saying that "the market is full of challenges", and it is necessary to adjust the business scale to cut costs and reduce blood transfusion of Geely and Volvo.

The poor performance of Polar Star is partly due to insufficient attention to the domestic market. The financial report in the first quarter of last year showed that its revenue share in China was only 1.4%.

Polar Star realized the problem, and in order to cater to the preferences of consumers in China, the new polar star 4 was designated as an SUV model.

In view of the local development in China, it was built on the vast platform of the same model SEA, the chassis was tuned by Volvo, and considering the intelligent competitiveness, Meizu’s Flyme Auto was installed on the car core.

It can be seen that Geely assembled the main battle for the battle of Polar Star 4.

In June 2022, the market value of IPO rushed to the pole star of nearly 197.3 billion yuan, which ushered in a dream start, but it was abandoned by "Swedish fellow villagers" less than two years later.

With the withdrawal of Volvo, the problem of polar star is more directly placed in front of Geely case. Geely has gained more direct equity, so it is necessary to try to make Polar Star shine again.

　　() Financial Research Center On April 21st, some investors asked (), Hello: Is the newly released Zhiji L7 pure electric vehicle jointly built by your company and Alibaba? Is it true that this car also has wireless charging function? thank you

　　The company replied, Dear investors, hello. Zhiji Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was established at the end of 2020. It is a brand-new user-oriented automobile science and technology company jointly built by SAIC, () and Alibaba Group. Zhiji L7 has wireless charging function.

A few days ago, Mercedes-Benz released a video about EQG, from which it can be found that the new car has the function of tank turning around. The new car is a pure electric version of Big G, and its appearance is consistent with that of Big G as a whole. It is reported that the new car will be officially unveiled in early 2024. What are the highlights of this car? Let’s take a look at it with the car brother!

The most striking thing this time is that the new car is equipped with four drive motors. Officials say that the new car is also equipped with an independent front suspension and a rigid rear axle specially developed for electric vehicles. Its main function is to control the wheels on both sides to rotate in different directions, so as to realize a form similar to tank turning, which is officially called "G-turn". From the officially released video, we can clearly see that the new car shows the function of turning around the tank, which can realize the original circle.

The tank here turns around, which may not be unfamiliar to users who are familiar with off-road. Simply put, it turns around in place like a tank. This function is mainly to reduce the turning radius of the vehicle in order to improve the passing performance.

In the appearance part, through the exposed video, we can find that the appearance of the new car is basically consistent with the fuel version of G-class. The overall appearance still looks hard and rough, and the headlights on both sides adopt retro round design.

On the side of the car body, the body lines of the new Mercedes EQG are rough, which highlights the domineering of the new car. The overall shape is still the same as the big G, and there is no difference. If you don’t look carefully, you may not be able to see that this is a pure electric vehicle.

In the rear part of the new car, a bare spare tire is hung outside the rear of the new car. This design is also a classic shape of off-road vehicles, and it also follows the side door design of Mercedes-Benz G.

In terms of power, it is understood that the new car will be equipped with a silicon anode battery, which can increase the battery density by 20%-40%, mainly to allow the car to save more energy in the same space, which can effectively alleviate the battery life problem to some extent.

For off-road enthusiasts, Mercedes-Benz G can be said to be their own "dream car", but the high price has dissuaded many people. Due to the influence of electrification, Mercedes-Benz G has to make corresponding changes, which shows that Mercedes-Benz EQG came into being. Generally speaking, the new car, as an electric hard-core off-road vehicle, has shown everyone the function of turning around the tank and realizing the original circle, which must be very attractive to everyone.

The question is coming. What do you think of the in-situ U-turn function of the new car? Leave a message in the comment area and discuss it with your brother!

The exclusive body color of "Golden Armor" symbolizes the cross-country spirit of courage to challenge and constantly break through. Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, and it will never be returned without breaking Loulan. The whole vehicle body is close to the full-size pickup truck. Thanks to the design of shortening the rear suspension, increasing the wheelbase, widening the wheel track and optimizing the shock absorption arrangement, the proportion of the vehicle body is more coordinated, and the driving space is more spacious, bringing a space feeling like first class.

　　Shanhai Gun Performance Edition is equipped with the only and most powerful domestic 3.0T V6 engine, matched with 9AT transmission, and comes standard with silicone oil fan with better heat dissipation performance, surging power and always on-line; Standard Borgwarner 4A+MLOCK intelligent four-wheel drive system, equipped with front and rear axle electronically controlled jaw differential locks, to create a real "three locks" in the hearts of off-road players, and equipped with up to 9 all-terrain modes, all-weather, all-road, all-scene off-road needs can be handled freely, showing the ultimate off-road driving pleasure and charm.

It will be listed in the fourth quarter of this year, with a price of less than 300,000. I believe that with the hard blessing of the performance version of Shanhai Gun, we will be more free, more calm and more extreme in pursuing the mountains and seas in our hearts.

　　The Great Wall Gun created the off-road pickup truck culture that belongs to China people alone, so that off-road is no longer a hobby of a few people, but a lifestyle of more people. Great Wall Gun will continue to adhere to category innovation, continuously iterate and consolidate the full-performance family product matrix, so that more users can enjoy a new way of off-road life.

"Birth card" may appear.

Although the mass production of the time node is confirmed, there is no news that there is a problem at present.

"Xiaomi Automobile must use its own production qualification. The group has invested so much money (coming in) that it is impossible to produce with the qualifications of others. " A number of Xiaomi auto parts suppliers told national business daily.

According to Reuters, Xiaomi was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission to produce electric vehicles in August this year, but it still needs the approval of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, the news has not been officially confirmed. The reporter also inquired about Xiaomi Group many times, but did not get a reply.

The person in charge of the new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, told reporters that one of the important prerequisites for automobile enterprises to obtain the production qualification of new energy vehicles is to have their own production plants. Xiaomi Automobile has already met this condition, which may be just a problem. "There is still more than half a year before mass production," Xiaomi Automobile revealed. It is not impossible for Xiaomi Automobile to obtain (production) qualification during this period. The CEO of the above-mentioned new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, said.

It should be noted that it has recently been reported that Xiaomi Automobile has contacted Jianghuai Automobile, Chery Automobile, Beiqi Blue Xiaomi Automobile and Beiqi Blue Valley to make further progress in cooperation, and both parties are interested in further negotiations. In this regard, Xiaomi Automobile related person said that for the person in charge of Beiqi Blue Valley, he only replied to the reporter: "We have not received relevant news internally."

"In theory, Xiaomi Automobile has its own factory and does not need OEM production from other companies. Beiqi Zhenjiang Blue Valley Factory will produce four models at the same time in 2024, and its smart selection cooperation model with Huawei will also have to transform the Futian factory for production. " An insider close to Beiqi Blue Valley told reporters.

In addition, it has recently been reported that Haima Automobile and Xiaomi Automobile have reached a cooperation. In this regard, Haima Automobile said on the interactive platform that the company has no cooperation with Xiaomi Automobile at present. Xiaomi automobile’s news about automobile cooperation. "We don’t know the news." The relevant person in charge of Haima Automobile responded to the reporter.

However, the management of the above-mentioned new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, believes that Xiaomi Automobile is likely to find other automobile companies to cooperate in production, but will use its own production qualifications. "Even if Xiaomi Car Factory can be put into production quickly next year, there will still be a process of increasing production capacity." The sales target set by Lei Jun is that the production capacity of Xiaomi Automobile in June 2024 is 100,000 units, and it is difficult for the new factory to reach this production capacity quickly. The above-mentioned unnamed executives of new energy automobile companies analyzed this.

According to Lei Jun’s plan, the first batch of Xiaomi cars will sell 100,000 vehicles within one year and deliver 900,000 vehicles in the next three years, thus "entering the first camp in the industry in 2024". This means that from 2025 to 2027, Xiaomi Automobile needs an annual production capacity of at least 300,000 vehicles.

"Xiaomi Auto’s contact with other car companies to solve the existing capacity problem is a strategy based on its long-term sales target, which can alleviate the subsequent capacity shortage of Xiaomi Auto to some extent. The management of the above-mentioned new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, believes.

Various parameter information published on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

　　International Online auto channel News: 190,000 cars, the Han family, as BYD’s car product, has crossed a market milestone in the past March. Since it was listed for 20 months, its performance has been impeccable. Facing the high expectations of the market, it has handed over many nearly perfect sales answers one after another.

　　Behind the achievements, part of it is attributed to the wave of "new four modernizations" of automobiles. New energy vehicles are in the best era, which provides opportunities and confidence for BYD, the industry leader.

　　After the official announcement of stopping the production of fuel vehicles in a drastic way, the newly evolved flagship car of BYD Han family was listed in the public eye on April 10, and I believe many people have been looking forward to it for a long time.

　　The battery life of Han EV Chuangshi pure electric car increased to 715km；; Han EV Qian Shan Cui limited edition national tide culture self-confidence; Han DM-i can be oil and electricity; Subversion performance of Chinese DM-P. Four brand-new advanced models have formed an unprecedented super matrix in the medium and large car market, and the price range and target population have been further expanded. It is bound to achieve the penetration and breakthrough of China automobile brand into the luxury market occupied by joint venture brands with the advantages of new energy technology, and accelerate the market share of traditional fuel vehicles in the past.

　　Why is the product strength of BYD Han family more and more "invincible"? How does BYD realize the continuous evolution of explosive products to the high end? The answer may be in the following four keywords.

　　More luxurious in China.

　　The advanced core of BYD’s Han Yan value is reflected in the perfect integration of traditional culture and modern luxury, without losing low-key luxury.

　　On the basis of the design language of "Longyan Aesthetics" created by BYD’s global design director Wolfgang Eiger, the front face, taillights and vehicle design of the Han family are once again elaborately crafted, showing the elegance and smoothness of a new generation of Longyan flagship coupe.

　　In addition to the brand-new penetrating Chinese knot taillights that incorporate the essence of Chinese culture, the limited edition design of Han EV Qian Shan Cui is amazing. The name of Qian Shan Cui is taken from the poem in Cheng Ju’s Three Peaks Cottage — — "Rain washes Qian Shan’s greenery, and the paddy field and the pine stream have been struggling." The turquoise tone of landscape paintings is rich and profound, and the colors under the illumination are bright and bright. At the same time, it complements the high and cold color matching with a series of exclusive exterior interior sports kits, and the intelligent fragrance with thick makeup and light touch adds a touch of elegance.

　　The interior design extracts the arrangement of the word "Pin" from the ancient buildings in China, so that the whole interior creates a sense of encirclement, while emphasizing the advanced sense of spatial layering. The dragon elements such as the luxurious seats with dragon scales interpret the Chinese fashion atmosphere, and the warm and restrained purple carbon fiber interior is full of artistic atmosphere.

　　On the whole, BYD has created a Han family with a luxurious world outlook, which is highly recognized by mainstream aesthetics and has a unique symbol of China culture. It can’t help but make people feel that "Hua Liu" is the top stream, reflecting strong national self-confidence.

　　More "fragrant" performance

　　As a leader of new energy vehicles, BYD has always adhered to the development concept of "technology is king, innovation is the foundation", and it is the only enterprise in the world that has mastered the core technologies of new energy vehicle chips, batteries, motors, electronic control and charging facilities, and vehicle manufacturing.

　　The empowerment of many core technologies is the capital for the Han family to sell well for a long time. Relying on major technological breakthroughs such as blade battery, DM-i super hybrid, DM-p, and equipped with three power systems including EV, DM-i and DM-p, the evolved Han family achieved a further improvement in performance and efficiency, and solved many travel pain points and needs.

　　First of all, let’s look at the Han EV Genesis Edition. The comprehensive maximum torque of the new car system is as high as 700N·m, which is almost comparable to the performance of the V10 engine. The four-wheel drive version only needs 3.9s for zero acceleration. With the support of high-efficiency heat pump air conditioning in wide temperature range and battery direct cooling and direct heating technology, the CLTC battery life of Han EV Genesis Edition is as high as 715km, and the charging rate is increased to 150km at most when charging for 10 minutes, and the super fast charging from 30% to 80% can be completed in 30 minutes, so that the user’s travel radius is significantly improved, and the pain points of low-temperature battery life and charging efficiency are solved.

　　Different from the single configuration of Han DM in the past, this time BYD provided the dual options of Han DM-i focusing on energy saving and Han DM-p focusing on performance, creating a new experience of plug-in hybrid cars.

　　Han DM-i is powered by super hybrid technology, equipped with core components such as Xiaoyun-Plug-in special turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine with thermal efficiency as high as 40.12%, EHS electric hybrid system, DM-i super hybrid special power blade battery, etc., which subverts the traditional oil-based hybrid technology architecture. The fuel consumption of NEDC is as low as 4.2L per 100 km, the comprehensive cruising range of NEDC is as high as 1,300 km, and the zero-speed acceleration only takes 7.9s This set of endurance, performance and fuel consumption data makes Han DM-i one of the best choices in the 200,000-300,000 class car market.

　　Han DM-p can be described as both performance and efficiency, which has almost refreshed the new height of luxury cars. In addition to the engine, it is equipped with front and rear dual motors with a comprehensive maximum power of 360kW and a maximum torque of 675N·m, with an acceleration of 3.7s at zero speed, a fuel consumption of 5.2L at a power loss of 100 km for NEDC, and a pure battery life of 202km for NEDC. Han DM-p has the strength to break the market pattern of 300,000-class luxury cars in the future.

　　According to the current situation, a small number of China automobile brands may be able to seize some high-end market share, but it is still difficult to achieve a big breakthrough. The evolution of Han family products has opened a door for entering the high-end market, and making the product cost-effective is the key to open this door.

　　Science and technology support high-end

　　In order to attract more BBA and new high-end consumer groups, BYD must come up with a better user experience, especially intelligence.

　　BYD has DiPilot in the field of intelligent driving and DiLink in the field of intelligent cockpit. The intelligent standard of Han family emphasizes the safety and openness of the whole scene, from steady and reliable to gradually leading. This time, the Han family’s intelligent driving assistance and intelligent cockpit have been fully upgraded.

　　The DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system is equipped with 24 sensors at most, including 12 ultrasonic radars +5 millimeter-wave radars +4 panoramic cameras +1 intelligent driving high-perception camera +1 Eps torque sensor +1 DMS driver status monitoring camera, reaching the level of L2.5, and the functions of driving assistance on expressway, emergency lane keeping assistance and intelligent comity are greatly improved.

　　DiLink 4.0(5G) intelligent network connection system has a brand-new UI design and customized APP. It is equipped with 5G chips to increase the speed by over 10 times, and the dual-frequency positioning accuracy can be as accurate as 1 meter, and it supports intelligent voice interaction. In addition to the Han DM-i 121KM distinguished model, the whole system is equipped with HiFi-class customized Dana audio, and at the same time supports the remote upgrade of OTA of the whole vehicle to create a smarter, more efficient and more humane intelligent cockpit.

　　The intelligent technology that does not sell futures has successfully landed on the product side, and the practical experience brought by BYD Han to users is unmatched by many cars of the same class.

　　The safety of tempering.

　　Safety is the primary pain point for consumers to buy new energy vehicles. In turn, this is actually one of the most prominent features of BYD Han.

　　From all kinds of rigorous tests in the R&D process, to blade batteries with high-temperature "ceramic battery" technology, to multiple active and passive safety functions and material laying, and then to diversified cockpit safety guarantee, BYD’s full-dimensional safety performance was finally achieved, and its high score passed C-NCAP "five-star safety certification" and C-IASI three "GOOD" double certifications.

　　For the car health that users are generally concerned about, BYD Han adopts the "baby-grade" painting and refreshing process, reaching the level of European standard 3.0. The green clean mode and remote high-temperature disinfection and sterilization mode bring safer fresh breath.

　　Han family products also add W-HUD head-up display in the aspect of active safety. The larger imaging size and brightness can significantly improve driving safety, while DMS driver monitoring can carry out fatigue detection, distraction detection and long-term driving detection, and remind drivers through multimedia, instrument icon text and language.

　　Based on the performance of key products in the above four aspects: luxury, performance, intelligence and safety, the brand appeal of BYD Han family is also growing positively, and the user group is constantly expanding.

　　tag

　　Previously, BYD revealed that the cumulative orders of Han DM-i and Han DM-p had exceeded 12,098 vehicles in just 10 hours when the pre-sale was opened. After the launch of four new cars, the monthly sales volume of the Han family is expected to be 20,000.

　　From the product evolution of the Han family, we have seen the multi-dimensional qualitative change of BYD at the level of technology, products and market, which is also the basis for BYD to become the first fuel vehicle company in the world to stop production. As Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, said at the performance briefing of the 2021 annual report: "With the introduction of DM-i and blade batteries, especially a turning point product like Han EV, BYD’s brand should be said to be different from before."
