Russia staged to defeat the Ukrainian army’s large-scale counterattack? Putin responded

  [Liu Yupeng, special correspondent of Global Times, Chen Shan] The Ukrainian army’s large-scale counterattack that began in early June seems to be in a state of stagnation. Although there are still many wars in Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian army, which has been armed and trained by the West, has not made obvious progress like last year’s counterattack in Kharkov. Many western analysts are worried that the stalemate in the Ukrainian counterattack may affect the continued assistance of the West to Ukraine, and they are constantly making suggestions for the next move of the Ukrainian army.

  Russian army: Ukrainian army suffered heavy losses in counterattack.

  According to the Russian "Viewpoint" reported on the 18th, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Konashenkov said on the same day that the Ukrainian military continued to try to launch attacks in the direction of Zaporoge, South Donetsk and Donetsk in the past 24 hours, and the most active action took place in the direction of Zaporoge. In the battle in Zaporoge, the Russian army destroyed 33 tanks, 30 infantry fighting vehicles and 35 armored vehicles of the Ukrainian army within 24 hours; In the direction of Hellson, the Russian army destroyed more than 30 Ukrainian soldiers, destroyed two cars and an American M777 artillery system. In the direction of Donetsk, the Russian army repelled the Ukrainian army for eight attacks and wiped out 210 Ukrainian soldiers.

  The Russian side’s continuous propaganda in recent days has "phased" defeated the large-scale counterattack of the Ukrainian army. Russia’s "Viewpoint" said on the 17th that Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that Ukraine is starting to try a new counterattack. "Now the battle is underway, but Kiev has no chance." He said that the Ukrainian army is using the so-called strategic reserve, but what is important is that they have failed to achieve their goals in any section. Putin said: "The loss of Ukrainian military technology and equipment continues to increase every day. Up to now, the Ukrainian army has lost about 186 tanks and 418 armored vehicles of various types. " The Russian Defense Ministry reported on the 14th that since the counterattack on June 4th, the Ukrainian army has killed or injured about 7,500 people on the combat contact line, which is not to mention the losses caused to the Ukrainian army by the Russian army’s use of long-range precision guided weapons and air power to penetrate into Ukraine.

  Russian newspaper Izvestia quoted American political scientist John Varoli as saying on 17th that Putin’s most important statement at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum was about the loss of Ukrainian troops. "This is shocking and has caused anxiety among the elites in Washington, because the whole world has noticed that the so-called counterattack of the Ukrainian army has completely failed." NATO has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on this. Putin’s speech is absolutely humiliating NATO. He told the West that "how many equipment and personnel were destroyed in the Ukrainian counterattack".

  Vladislav Shurikin, a Russian military expert, said in an interview with Izvestia: "Due to the heavy losses and the lack of success and prospect of breaking through our defense, the current counter-offensive activities of the Ukrainian army have declined. Now the attack on the front is not as fierce as before, because the first stage of the Ukrainian attack has not achieved results. In the Ukrainian military command, in the headquarters of the United States and NATO, we are now frantically looking for opportunities for success. Ukraine’s strategic turn will not happen again, and there is no chance. But they hope to achieve operational success at least in a certain area. "

  West: Ukrainian counterattack is not as expected.

  Western media also partially admitted that the Ukrainian counterattack failed to achieve the expected results. At present, the main breakthrough of the Ukrainian army is concentrated in the direction of Zaporoge, and the Ukrainian army has advanced several kilometers in the counterattack, which can be called "the victory of tactical scale." However, CNN said on the 17th that Ukraine’s counterattack against the Russian army has not yet gained "the momentum expected by optimistic observers". According to the report, the current Ukrainian attack is similar to a prelude to broader military operations. So far, the Ukrainian attack has made some progress in some parts of Ukraine, such as Zaporoge, which is regarded as the main target of Ukraine’s counterattack, because occupying it will mean cutting off the land bridge between Crimea and eastern Donetsk. However, "the Russian multi-level defense proved to be difficult to crack." CNN admits that the Ukrainian army must make a frontal attack on the well-prepared Russian defense positions, and the key lies in "the Ukrainian army lacks air superiority." The Russian army has spent several months strengthening local fortifications. "Ukrainians will never make a lightning breakthrough like last autumn in Kharkov." The latest intelligence assessment released by the British Ministry of Defence on the 17th also indicated that the Russian army "gained a temporary advantage in southern Ukraine" due to the successful attack on helicopters.

  As for the strategic intention of the Ukrainian army’s current counterattack, compared with the optimistic expectation of "breaking through the Russian defense line and restoring the occupied territory", the opinions of all parties have also begun to change. According to the assessment of the American think tank War Research Institute, the Ukrainian army did not seem to concentrate the main forces assisted by the West in one direction to form an overwhelming force, but tried to launch attacks in different locations to find out the weak areas of the Russian defense line. However, the report reminded that the current strategy adopted by the Russian army is to use the defense line to consume the main force of the Ukrainian army. In particular, the main force of Ukraine, which is attacking forward, will leave the protection of its own short-range air defense and electronic warfare system and be more vulnerable to long-range strikes by the Russian army.

  On 17th, Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the director of Ukrainian President Zelensky’s office, said that the Ukrainian army’s counterattack had just begun, and in the first stage, it was mainly to increase the firepower of supplying the Russian rear in different directions, so as to reduce the overall defense capability of the Russian army. At present, the primary goal of the Ukrainian counterattack is not to break through the Russian defense line, but to eliminate as many Russian soldiers and technical equipment as possible and "increase the psychological pressure of the Russian army."

  Russia’s "free media" website said on the 16th that the Pentagon revealed the size of the reserve team that the Ukrainian army can use to fight back. Mark Millie, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army, said that NATO has trained 60,000 soldiers for Ukraine. In order to advance the counterattack, the Ukrainian army formed 12 assault brigades. In addition, the United States is still training more Ukrainian troops. At the same time, western countries have trained 5,000 Ukrainian military operators (drivers, technicians and shooters) for NATO armored vehicles provided to Ukraine. Most of them are at the front now. "Ukrainian troops have used almost all NATO equipment, which is either on the front line or has been transferred from the third echelon to the second echelon." Ukrainian Independent News Agency reported on 17th that Ukrainian military expert Vladislav Seleznev said that the Ukrainian army was preparing for the upcoming combat operations. He said: "Can we say that a large-scale counterattack has begun? I think this preparation is still in progress, because at present, only three of the 12 assault brigades are put into use, and the others are in strategic preparation. What makes the Russian General Staff feel nervous is that they don’t know where the main force of the Ukrainian army will counterattack. It is difficult to predict how long Ukraine’s counterattack will last. Obviously, the final result will depend on the resources used and the resistance of the Russian army. "

  Where is the next breakthrough?

  In order to solve the current difficulties faced by the Ukrainian counterattack, the West is also constantly helping out ideas. In view of the current situation that the Ukrainian army failed to master the air superiority during the counterattack, a number of Ukrainian media reported on the 17th that the Swedish government revealed that the Swedish Air Force was training Ukrainian pilots, and it was speculated that this might be a precursor for Ukraine to acquire Swedish Gryphon fighters. It is said that Ukraine has been calling on the West to provide advanced fighters, mainly for American F-16 fighters. Due to the poor conditions of the Ukrainian air base, compared with the American-made F-16 fighter with complicated maintenance and high requirements for airport take-off and landing conditions, the Swedish Gryphon fighter was designed with the use requirements in the harsh battlefield environment in mind at the beginning, and the requirements for logistics were very low, so western military observers believe that the Gryphon fighter is more in line with the actual needs of Ukraine.

  The US Power website said on the 17th that nearly two weeks after the dam of Kahovka Hydropower Station broke, although the raging flood flooded a large area of land downstream of the hydropower station, the water level in the upstream also dropped sharply, "actually eliminating the huge natural barrier that originally prevented the Ukrainian army from crossing the river". According to the report, there are rumors that Ukrainian special forces recently crossed the river upstream of Kahovka Hydropower Station and tried to build a bridgehead behind the current Russian defense line, thus posing a more direct threat to the Russian defense lines in Hellson and Crimea. The report speculated that the Ukrainian army might seize the changes brought about by the dam break and launch a new attack on the Russian army. "If this move is successful, Hellson and Crimea will face direct threats since Russian troops withdrew from the left bank of Dnepro River last autumn. In addition, if the Ukrainian army finds more crossing points in the upper reaches of Kahovka Hydropower Station, the Russian defense line in Zaporoge will also be threatened. "

Prospects of Chery’s new cars in 2016, such as Arrizo 5/Tiggo 7.

  [News] In the winter of a year ago, we had a conversation with Yin Tongyue, the chairman of the board (click to view the dialogue article with Lao Yin). He mentioned to us that "we can’t become a production-only enterprise, so Ariza should strengthen." In 2015, Chery made a change to the model, and it was officially unveiled. In 2016, Arrizo 5 will be officially listed, and the new Arrizo 7 and Arrizo 7 PHEV will also be put on the market. We can see that Chery will exert its strength in the car market. In terms of SUVs, Chery will continue to enhance its competitiveness, and it will launch three models, namely, new models, 3X models and Tiggo 7 models. Then, what are the highlights of each of these models, and what are the characteristics of Chery’s new car planning in 2016? Let’s find the answer together in the following.

● Ariza 5
Time to market: March 2016
New car features: positioning a new compact car, equipped with 1.5L+CVT powertrain.

  Chery Arrizo 5 was launched during the 2015 Guangzhou Auto Show. From its name, it is not difficult to see that this car is positioned between Arrizo 7 and it is a brand-new compact car.

  Chery Arrizo 5 adopts a very young appearance design, with a lattice shape in the middle net, a chrome-plated decorative strip running through the left and right, and two sides connected with the interior decorative strip of the headlight. This design requires high technology, but it is in exchange for a strong front face shape. The design of the front bumper of this car is very simple, and both sides are equipped with.

  On the side, the body line of Arrizo 5 is very compact, and the waistline design with low front and high back creates a running posture, which is very dynamic. The high-profile models also use a very personalized multi-spoke rim, which adds a lot of decoration on the basis of the double five-spoke design. At the rear, the rear of the Arrizo 7 is very short, with a duck tail design and triangular taillights, which also creates a dynamic effect. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Arrizo 5 are 4572mm/1825mm/1482mm respectively, reaching 2670 mm..

  In the interior part, the design of Arrizo 5 is relatively simple, and the simplicity here is reflected in the compactness and concentration of each functional partition, which is not slow. The dashboard of the new car is irregularly shaped, with a LCD screen in the center. The layout of the center console is very compact. The high-profile model is equipped with an 8-inch LCD screen, and it is equipped with a built-in 4G network card, which can support music playing in the cloud and is very powerful. In addition, the car also comes standard with a body stabilization system.

  In terms of seating space, the editor with a height of 178cm sits in the front row. After adjusting the seat to the lowest, there is about 4 fingers in the head. In the back row, the editor’s leg space is more than 2 punches, and the head space is only 1 finger. In the center of the back row, the floor of Ariza 5 is not seriously raised, but there is no headrest in the center, which is a pity.

  In terms of power, Chery Arrizo 5 is equipped with a 1.5L DVVT. The maximum output of this engine is 116 HP (85kW) and the peak value is 141 Nm. In the transmission system, it is matched with a 5-speed or gearbox.

  Editor’s comment:At present, Chery has launched two models, Arrizo 3 and Arrizo 7, in the market. Among them, the Arrizo 3 is positioned at the entry level, which is close to it. However, with the high-end consumption and the erosion of the market, the current sales volume of Arrizo 3 is not high, and only 15,369 vehicles were sold in the first 11 months of 2015. Similarly, for Arrizo 7, its performance is not too bad. In the first November of 2015, a total of 20,094 vehicles were sold. Therefore, in the car product line, Chery has great expectations for the market performance of Arrizo 5.

"Ariza 3; Ariza 7 "

  Referring to the price of Arrizo 3 (57,900-74,900 yuan) and Arrizo 7 (72,900-104,500 yuan), the future price of Arrizo 5 may be around 60,000-90,000 yuan. There are many powerful compact cars in this section, including China brand cars, cars, cars and so on.

  In the face of these models, the Ariza 5, once called "the best-looking Chery car in history", will first attract many consumers in appearance. In addition, this car comes standard with a body stabilization system, and the high-profile models are equipped with a multimedia system with Internet access. In the future, its configuration may give us great surprises. Finally, as the second-generation model under Chery’s new technical standards, the official said that it has greatly improved in technology and quality. We also felt that the workmanship of this car is much better during the test drive (click to view the test drive article), which will also become the advantage of Arrizo 5. There is no doubt that Arrizo 5 will be the key for Chery to enhance the brand image of Arrizo.

● New Arrizo 7
Time to market: April 2016
Features of the new car: ESP is standard in the whole system, and blue-drive models will be launched.

  The reason why Chery launched the new Arrizo 7 following the Arrizo 5 is not only a routine launch of the model of the year, but also to make this car more in line with the new product positioning, keep up with the pace of Arrizo 5 in terms of configuration, and ensure its sales.

Home of the car

  The new Ariza 7 retains the overall design of the current model, but there are some changes in some details. The new car still adopts the inverted trapezoidal air intake design, the headlights on both sides will adopt a new style, and the interior LED strip will be more personalized. In addition, chrome decoration has been added to the fog lamp frames on both sides of the front bumper of the new car, and the fog lamps also use LED light groups.

  The side lines of the new Arrizo 7 will keep the style of the current model, but the new car will be equipped with more fashionable multi-spoke wheels. At the tail, the newly designed taillight style contains light guide belt design, which is more spiritual, and the number of reversing radars on the rear bumper will increase from 3 to 4.

Home of the car

  In the car, the overall shape of the new Arrizo 7 will not change, but according to the official introduction, its configuration will be improved to some extent. The LCD screen in the center of the dashboard of the new car will be upgraded to a color screen, and it will also become the standard of the whole department. Skylights, reversing radar and reversing images will also appear on the new car.

Chery Automobile Arrizo 7 2015 1.6L Manual Zhishang Edition

"The 1.6L engine used in the current Arrizo 7"

  In the power system, the new Arrizo 7 is expected to continue to use 1.6L and 1.5T engines, with the maximum power of 126 HP and 152 HP respectively. At present, the 1.6L model can choose 5-speed manual or CVT gearbox, while the 1.5T model only provides 5-speed manual gearbox. In addition, we also learned from the official that the new Arrizo 7 will launch a blue-drive version with better fuel consumption performance.

  Editor’s comment:After the listing of Arrizo 5, its pricing is expected to overlap with that of Arrizo 7. Because of the higher configuration and more exquisite design of the former, it will definitely have a certain impact on the current market of Arrizo 7, which is obviously not what Chery wants to see. Secondly, the Arrizo 7 is the pioneering work of the Arrizo series. As a key model, Chery will obviously not meet its current sales volume, so it is imperative to change the model.

  Therefore, Chery will launch the new Arrizo 7 only one month after the listing of Arrizo 5, hoping to enhance the competitiveness of its comprehensive products, open a certain gap with Arrizo 5 and reduce the impact between products of the same brand. In addition, due to the addition of Arrizo 5, Chery will definitely reorganize the product positioning of Arrizo 3 and Arrizo 7, and the price of Arrizo 7 may change greatly with the improvement of configuration. Let us wait and see.

● Arrizo 7 PHEV
Time to market: April 2016
Features of the new car: comprehensive fuel consumption of 2.2L/100km, plug-in hybrid system equipped with 1.6L+ permanent magnet synchronous motor.

  When talking to Lao Yin, when referring to new energy vehicles, he said, "PHEV plug-in hybrid vehicles are a future direction of Chery". In 2015, Chery brought the Arrizo 7 PHEV, which will be launched in April this year.

Chery Automobile Arrizo 7 2015 Hybrid Edition

Chery Automobile Arrizo 7 2015 Hybrid Edition

  The Arrizo 7 PHEV, which was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show, is not the final production version. We can see that the design of this car is basically the same as that of the current ordinary version, except for the details such as the body logo and charging port. However, since Chery will launch the new Arrizo 7 in April, the final production version of the Arrizo 7 PHEV is likely to adopt a design similar to the new Arrizo 7.

Chery Automobile Arrizo 7 2015 Hybrid Edition

  In terms of interior, we can see that the design of the exhibition car is basically the same as that of the current Arrizo 7. The car adopts double disks and the center console is trapezoidal. Similarly, the future production version is also expected to adopt the same interior/configuration as the new Arrizo 7.

Chery Automobile Arrizo 7 2015 Hybrid Edition

  In terms of power, this car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of 1.6L+ permanent magnet synchronous motor, which matches the CVT gearbox and is equipped with a 9.2kWh battery pack. According to the official data, the car’s 0-100km/h acceleration time is 10.9 seconds, the comprehensive fuel consumption is 2.2L/100km, and the battery life in pure electric state is 50km.

  Editor’s comment:Chery’s development in new energy vehicles is relatively slow. Most of the products launched earlier are low-end electric vehicles. The launch of the Arrizo 7 PHEV model indicates that it will exert its strength in plug-in hybrid vehicles. Compared with traditional power models, the advantage of plug-in hybrid models is undoubtedly fuel consumption. Take the current Arrizo 7 1.6L CVT model as an example, its official fuel consumption is 7.6L/100km, while the comprehensive fuel consumption of the hybrid model is only 2.2L/100km, which has obvious advantages. Moreover, this car may also enjoy new energy subsidies. According to the 2016 standard, the car can enjoy a state subsidy of 32,000 yuan, and the local subsidy can reach a maximum of 64,000 yuan. Overall, as long as the price is reasonable, this car still has great market potential. In addition, as a new energy vehicle, the car has more advantages in some license plates and number limits.

  Throughout the current domestic market, the same hybrid models as this car are Qin and other products, among which BYD Qin has achieved good sales with its eye-catching high performance, and sold a total of 28,195 vehicles in the first 11 months of 2015. Compared with Qin, the styles of Arrizo 7 PHEV and e550 are closer. They don’t have strong power performance like Qin, but their main features are concentrated on fuel consumption. Therefore, in order to achieve certain results in this market, Chery needs to pay more attention to market promotion and sales strategy.

  Flying wing front grille, full LED headlights, and slip-back styling, all these elements together are young enough, but this year we have seen too many exaggerated and futuristic designs, so it seems that the LaCrosse is a little conservative. In particular, the interior, four-spoke steering wheel and wood grain decoration are typical classical luxury styles.

  The center console of the LaCrosse is covered with physical buttons, multimedia, air conditioning and common vehicle functions. The layout is clear and reasonable, and it is easy to use. Although it looks not as strong as touching the buttons, the feel can only be considered quite satisfactory, but this is definitely one of the few models that I can achieve blind exercise in the past six months, which is really convenient. But I also found a small problem, that is, the steering lever. You can watch the video for details.

  In the official definition, Avenir models are classified separately. If you don’t count the LaCrosse Avenir, then this 652T distinguished model is already the top model. Its configuration really didn’t disappoint us. The seats made of leather and suede are very classy. The front seats also support ventilation, heating and massage. In addition, there are 8-inch LCD instruments, HUD, BOSE audio, etc. The only surprise is that the 360 panoramic image is actually exclusive to Avenir models.

  LaCrosse’s space performance is good, and its configuration is also remarkable. Some points have been deducted from the seat with a slightly poor fit. In addition, the automatic anti-glare function of the exterior rearview mirror will be automatically turned on in the evening. If it is followed by a car without headlights, it is easy to see clearly.

March into space! Trump said that he would form a "space force".

       CCTV News:Some people say that the contest in the military field in the 21st century is not limited to land, sea and air, and "space" will become the new main battlefield. As the only superpower in the world and a leader in space science and technology, the United States has always attached importance to maintaining its military superiority in space. In his speech at the Marine Corps Air Base in Milla, President Trump proposed that the United States should establish a "space force".

       However, Trump did not elaborate on the relevant ideas of the space force. The Pentagon has not yet responded to this. In fact, this is not the first time that the United States has proposed the establishment of a "space force."

       In July 2017, the US House of Representatives proposed the establishment of a new service in the FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Bill — — Space forces. The proposal envisages that the United States will set up an independent space force in the navy with reference to the Marine Corps model. Supporters believe that the establishment of an independent and space-focused military force will help the United States stay ahead in the space race. The opposing side believes that the idea of establishing a space force is not mature enough and needs more research. Later, the bill was not passed by the Senate.

       [Extended reading] The "space forces" of all countries in the world

       The "space force" is a Xinjiang force that relies on satellite information reconnaissance, guidance and navigation and space weapons to fight in outer space. It is a new field of military competition among countries in recent years. Then, from a global perspective, what are the big countries in the field of "space forces" at present?

       The American "space force" has a long history.

       The US military currently has five major services, namely the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard. Although there is no independent space force, the North American Air Defense Command, established in 1950s, actually has such a function. At that time, this department was mainly responsible for satellite launch, tracking other countries’ satellites and early warning. Now it has gradually developed into a multi-functional department with reconnaissance and early warning, space attack and space mapping and support.

       Russia has repeatedly integrated and optimized the establishment of air and space forces.

       Russia, another military power, has already established a powerful space force, which has been integrated and optimized many times.

       In 2001, the Russian government decided to set up a new service — — Space forces. At the end of 2011, the Russian space force was merged into the Russian air and space defense force. In 2015, the Russian Air Force and the Air and Space Defence Force merged to form a new service of the Russian armed forces — — Air and space forces, whose duties include aviation and anti-missile early warning system management, space monitoring, spacecraft launch and control, etc., prevent Russia from being hit by the sky and space.

Know the car emperor: over 2,000 models have been evaluated in 5 years, and it is the first to build a complete evaluation system at room temperature and limit.

On the evening of December 22nd, Know Car Emperor held the 2023 Winter Conference. According to the person in charge of Chedi’s winter test project, after five years of normal temperature test and three years of extreme environmental test, Chedi has accumulated more than 2,000 test models, becoming the first automobile content platform to build a full-scene and systematic test. In 2024, Knowing Car Emperor will increase the investment in intelligent and safety measurement, and carry out more in-depth and professional tests to provide users with reference.

According to reports, in the past five years, Know Car Emperor has carried out large-scale tests on popular models that are popular in the market and concerned by users, with more than 2,000 measured models and more than 900,000 data. On the basis of normal temperature test, since 2021, Knowing Car Emperor began to conduct winter test and summer test in extremely cold and high temperature environment, covering nearly 300 new energy vehicles in three years, and built a complete test system and an industry-leading measured database with the scene of "normal temperature+limit".

In order to describe the assisted driving ability and the performance of the intelligent cockpit more strictly and accurately, the car-knowing emperor also developed a test tool and analysis algorithm. In the assisted driving test, based on the visual perception algorithm of neural network, the vehicle’s centering, following distance and response time in the lane are quantitatively tracked, which solves the limitation of subjective evaluation of assisted driving in the past. In the vehicle testing, key data such as application response time, vehicle sensitivity and fluency can be obtained through frame-by-frame analysis of self-developed testing tools and visual software.

In 2024, Knowing Car Emperor will increase investment in both intelligence and safety, and set up research institutes and special laboratories in conjunction with relevant state departments and authoritative testing institutions to carry out more in-depth and professional tests, so as to provide users with more objective and fair test results.

At the meeting, Zhiche Emperor announced the test results of normal temperature and winter in 2023. The data shows that China brand new energy vehicles continue to maintain their leading position in joint ventures and imported vehicles. In the normal temperature and high-speed endurance test of pure electric vehicles in 2023, 9 of the top 10 are China brands, and the domestic pure electric vehicles with endurance test in winter are the top 13. In the intelligent test, under the extremely difficult snow, night and backlight environment, the domestic production rate of 8 passing models reached 100%.

With the gradual transformation of the automobile industry to new energy sources, users have higher and higher demand for real owner content and long-term in-depth experience content. Based on the change of users’ needs, Knowing Car Emperor will launch the product of "Owner’s Word of Mouth". This product invites real car owners to evaluate their vehicles, and combines the dimensions of appearance, space and intelligence that users are most concerned about. Through the self-developed automobile industry model, the contents of massive car reviews are semantically analyzed, classified and summarized, and displayed at the product end. When users need to know or buy a car, they can see it at first sight by opening the car-understanding App and entering the car page.

In order to let more car owners participate in the content co-creation and measured experience, Knowing Car Emperor will also launch the "Million Car Owners Evaluation Plan". The plan includes four sections, namely, the car manager’s evaluation, the public test challenge, the public test experience camp, and the winter and summer test open day. Users can participate deeply and share the personal test data and experience with more people. For the high-quality car owners in the evaluation plan, Knowing Car Emperor will provide a number of support and incentive measures, including building a brand-new user growth system, selecting the top 100 car owners every year, rewarding millions of creative funds, giving head users the qualification to participate in official activities, giving priority to participating in activities such as experience camps and open days, so that every sharing by users can bring value to others.

It provides a brand-new modernization model (harmony) for the whole world.

  Chinese-style modernization is a pioneering work in the development of human society, which provides a brand-new modernization model for the whole world and increases confidence for more countries to explore their own modernization road independently.

  From the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the theory of Chinese modernization was put forward and expounded in depth, to the general secretary of the Supreme Leader’s in-depth explanation of the rich connotation and world significance of Chinese modernization on a series of bilateral and multilateral occasions, and to the fact that the general secretary of the Supreme Leader recently emphasized the correct understanding and vigorous promotion of Chinese modernization at the opening ceremony of the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "Chinese modernization" has become the key word for the international community to understand China. International people believe that Chinese-style modernization is a pioneering work in the development of human society, which provides a brand-new modernization model for the whole world and increases confidence for more countries to explore their own modernization road independently.

  Since modern times, modernization has been the historical trend of world development, and realizing modernization is the common aspiration of people of all countries. Chinese-style modernization is a great achievement made by people of all ethnic groups in China under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the long-term exploration and practice, and it is also the broad road to building a strong country and national rejuvenation. On the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization through theoretical and practical breakthroughs since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), and the leadership of the Party determines the fundamental nature of Chinese-style modernization. The Communist Party of China (CPC) led the people of China to successfully walk out of the Chinese-style modernization road, showing a big pattern of leading the times, living up to the people’s great feelings and helping the world.

  When a country moves towards modernization, it should not only follow the general law of modernization, but also conform to its own reality and have its own characteristics. Chinese-style modernization not only has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, but also has distinctive characteristics based on its own national conditions. Chinese-style modernization is a modernization with a huge population, the common prosperity of all people, the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and the modernization of peaceful development. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China summarized the China characteristics in five aspects of Chinese modernization and profoundly revealed the scientific connotation of Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization is clearer, more scientific, more sensible and feasible, and it has shown strong appeal in the world. French President Macron said that the Chinese modernization development model is admirable. More and more international public opinion believes that Chinese modernization is the latest development of world modernization theory and will create a new modernization history.

  It took China several decades to complete the industrialization process that western developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years, creating a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and opening up broad prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which is an important reason for the strong attraction of Chinese modernization. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China have worked together to complete the historical task of getting rid of poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way, and achieved the goal of the first century’s struggle, which won a historic victory in the history of the development of the Chinese nation and had a far-reaching impact on the world. "Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and created a miracle of human poverty reduction. This achievement belongs to China and the world." "A China with stable society and strong economy will be the common welfare of the whole world." "The successful exploration of modernization by the most populous country in the world is a great contribution to the cause of human progress" … … More and more international public opinion believes that the achievements of Chinese modernization are inspiring, which fully shows that all countries can have their own modernization.

  What kind of modernization road a country chooses is determined by its historical tradition, social system, development conditions, external environment and many other factors. Different national conditions will lead to different ways of modernization. Chinese-style modernization, deeply rooted in Chinese excellent traditional culture, embodies the advanced essence of scientific socialism, draws on and absorbs all outstanding achievements of human civilization, represents the development direction of human civilization progress, and shows a new picture different from the western modernization model, which is a brand-new form of human civilization. Chinese-style modernization has broken the myth of "modernization = westernization", displayed another picture of modernization, expanded the path choice of developing countries towards modernization, and provided a Chinese plan for mankind to explore a better social system. Martin jacques, a British scholar, believes that Chinese modernization not only opens up many new possibilities for China’s future development, but also provides new ideas and new thinking for world development. Robert kuhn, chairman of the American Kuhn Foundation, said that Chinese modernization contains China’s insight into the new path of modernization and provides a new modernization model for all mankind, especially developing countries.

  "We will promote the overall progress of mankind with Chinese modernization, bring new opportunities to the world with the new development of China, and provide more stability and certainty for the turbulent world." China, which is constantly moving towards modernization, will certainly provide more opportunities for the world, inject more impetus into international cooperation and make greater contributions to the progress of all mankind.

Intelligent car evaluation: 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance version

  With the rapid development of intelligent networked vehicles, automobile intelligence will become the focus of automobile enterprises for a long time to come. Among them, the intelligent car machine system has played an important role, and has gradually been favored by more and more consumers, and even become one of the necessary conditions for car purchase. In the field of smart cars, Huawei, which does not build cars, has set off a wave of enthusiasm in the automobile industry with its unique ecological empowerment. The Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance version evaluated this time is equipped with HarmonyOS car, and it is the latest version 4.0. So for the 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance version, what are the bright performances of its smart car? This issue of "Intelligent Car Machine Evaluation" will comprehensively evaluate the car machine system of 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance edition from two dimensions: system hardware and system software.

  First, the system hardware

  1. Hardware parameters

  The 2023 Aouita 12 Four-wheel Drive Performance Edition is equipped with a 15.6-inch floating touch screen, where the vehicle operation functions are basically integrated. The resolution of the central control screen is high, the screen display is clear, and the screen accounts for a large proportion, and the visual impression is quite good. It is worth mentioning that the 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance version is also equipped with a 35.4-inch 4K resolution integrated remote screen, which can actually be regarded as an instrument panel, and its placement position is closer to the front of the car. The left side of the remote screen displays vehicle-related information, while the right side displays tire pressure monitoring, clocks, mileage and other information, and the display effect is very intuitive.

  2. Hardware evaluation

  The 15.6-inch central control panel does not reflect light even if it is sunny during the day, and the use experience is quite good. The multi-functional area of the steering wheel adopts roller design, which is simple and convenient to operate. Among them, the right wheel integrates the steering wheel customization function, and the driver can set the functions controlled by the right wheel through the central control panel, including switching driving modes, switching multimedia audio sources, taking photos inside, etc.

  Second, the software system

  1. Software parameters

  2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance edition supports OTA upgrade. The HarmonyOS 4.0 system has added a super desktop, which optimizes the distributed collaborative experience of multiple devices in the cockpit, adapts to more third-party applications and covers more scenes. At the same time, thanks to Huawei’s Ark graphics engine, the operation fluency has been upgraded. The measured 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance version completed the boot in only 2 seconds, and performed well.

  2. Basic application evaluation

  The interface of 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance car machine system is very beautiful, and you can switch wallpaper with a flick of your finger, which is very convenient to operate. System functions are set at the bottom of the screen, and the placement position is more reasonable. In addition, the layout of instrument information displayed on the remote screen is also very reasonable and the display is very clear. Unfortunately, topic switching is not supported.

  DOCK bar has many common functions, such as trunk, screen brightness, headlight control, charging port, vehicle power-off, automatic parking and driving mode, which improves the convenience of daily operation.

  2023 Aouita 12 4WD Performance Edition is equipped with 360 panoramic image and transparent chassis/540 image function. It is measured that the quality of the reversing image is clear when there is plenty of sunshine during the day, but after switching to 3D mode, the edge of the image is distorted. The 360 panoramic image supports multiple viewing angles, and it is also equipped with parking auxiliary lines, which can help drivers to finish daily parking more easily. In addition, in the upper right corner setting, the 2023 Aouita 12 Four-wheel Drive Performance Edition also provides "narrow track automatic activation image" and "turn signal activation image", which drivers can choose according to their driving habits.

  3. Map navigation evaluation

  The 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance version is equipped with the car version of Gaode Map. It should be noted that the APP that enters the navigation interface is not an icon of Gaode Map, but an icon named "Huawei Smart Drive", which may be a bit confusing for the first time. Of course, the driver can also open the navigation interface through voice. After entering the interface, the whole map is very concise, and the operation process is consistent with that of the mobile phone, which has good convenience.

  After searching the destination, the navigation will provide three different types of routes for drivers to choose from. At the same time, the navigation settings also provide route preferences such as avoiding congestion, not taking high-speed, giving priority to high-speed, charging less, being the fastest, giving priority to major roads, etc. In addition, the system will also provide the driver with the location of the charging pile on the whole route, which is convenient for the driver to charge the car. After determining the navigation route, the route and a small amount of information will also be displayed in the remote screen.

  Like most new energy vehicles, the car system provides female voice, children’s voice, girl voice, male voice and custom voice, and drivers can choose according to their own needs.

  4, audio-visual entertainment evaluation

  The 2023 Aouita 12 Four-wheel Drive Performance Edition comes with some commonly used apps. At the same time, Huawei APP Mall also provides a very rich selection of third-party apps to meet the entertainment needs of consumers. In addition, the evaluation car also provides a variety of sound effects modes and headrest modes, and the sound wave simulation is also provided at the bottom of the adjustment interface, and the internal sound waves of "V6", "V8" and "V12" engines can be simulated. The measured sound is relatively false, but the starting point is still quite good.

  The 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance radio is located in the upper left corner of the music interface. After entering the main interface of the radio, FM broadcasting and network broadcasting will be provided at the top, which is quite selective.

  5. In-vehicle interconnection evaluation

  The car systems of all 2023 Aouita 12 models support 5G network, and the search speed is fast. In the process of mobile phone Bluetooth measurement, the speed of mobile phone Bluetooth search and connection is relatively fast and the convenience is excellent. In addition, thanks to the rich ecosystem of HarmonyOS system, after logging into Huawei account, users can control the related equipment in their home in real time through the control center on the car, such as sweeping robot, intelligent air conditioner, air purifier, lights, sockets and switches, and can also transfer photos and videos to and from the car through Huawei mobile phones, tablets, computers and other equipment, thus truly realizing the wisdom of everything.

  6. Intelligent interactive evaluation

  Interactive experience is definitely the focus of "involution" for smart cars today. The 2023 Aouita 12 4WD Performance Edition, like most other mainstream smart cars, only supports voice interaction, and does not set the interactive mode of gesture operation. The measured speech interaction reaction speed is fast and the recognition rate is high. At the same time, fine instructions such as "main driving window is open 40%" and "switching driving mode" can also be recognized.

  In addition, for the 2023 Aouita 12 Four-wheel Drive Performance Edition, we have also tested the fuzzy semantic recognition of this voice system, and interacted with the car engine with four commands: "I’m a little hungry", "I’m a little tired", "I’m not feeling well" and "I’m a little thirsty" respectively.

  After the actual measurement, it was found that the four instructions failed to get effective feedback. When "I’m a little hungry" was said, the system would reply "I suggest you go to eat some rice", but the restaurant was not recommended on the map. When you say "I’m a little tired", the system will answer "I suggest you have a rest", but the "rest mode" is not turned on. This kind of "nonsense literature" needs to be improved in the future.

  Summary:

  Through a series of experiences, the overall performance of the 2023 Aouita 12 four-wheel drive performance version of the intelligent car system is satisfactory. Especially with the addition of HarmonyOS system, the operation fluency is impressive, which can be described as "silky". However, during the actual measurement, some problems of this system were also found, for example, there is a certain "nonsense literature" in the voice system. If we can provide more intimate feedback in the future, it will surely be more pleasing. I hope it can be improved in the next OTA upgrade.

In March, the new energy auto market: the ideal worry of the world is still there, and traditional car companies have found the "wealth password"

Text | Front Travel

On the last day of March, china automobile dealers association released a bad forecast: the car market was lower than expected in March, and the terminal sales of passenger cars were around 1.65 million.

At the end of the quarter, in order to sprint the target, all car companies started a new round of price wars, and the passenger flow increased. However, consumers were in a strong mood to hold money for purchase, and the order conversion was insufficient, which led to the weak growth of the auto market in March.

Of course, there are also relatively optimistic news. Due to the price drop, a large number of potential customers started to use new energy vehicles. The Association predicted that the new energy penetration rate in March could reach 45.5%. This level is already at the historical high level of full-month permeability, but is it really the case? We may know a thing or two from the car companies that have announced the results of new energy.

AITO, the ideal fault leads, and the zero run surpasses Weilai and Tucki.

The new forces have always been the "vanguard" to announce sales results. As of press time, AITO, Ideality, Krypton, Weilai and Tucki have all announced their deliveries in March.

Among them, AITO delivered a total of 31,727 new cars in March, surpassing the ideal and becoming the first monthly sales of new power brands. Specific to the vehicle types, the new M7 and the new M9 delivered 24,598 and 6,243 vehicles respectively, with the former being the "No.1 in the sales volume of new power vehicles" and the latter being the "No.1 in the sales volume of new power vehicles above 500,000 yuan", which strongly seized the ideal share in the high-end new energy family car market. For reference, the new M7 sold 18,479 vehicles in February, up 24.88% year-on-year. It must be said that its market performance is really eye-catching.

However, it may be that the performance of the new M7 in the field of inquiry is too strong, but it makes the introductory M5 look a bit "redundant". You know, the threshold for buying a car for the M5 is 249,800 yuan, which is completely consistent with the new M7 with higher positioning. Consumers are definitely more willing to choose the new M7 with more space. At present, Xiaotong hasn’t found the news about the change of the M5, but in order to gain a wider audience, it will be the focus to ask how much the M5′ s future price can drop.

LI delivered only 28,984 vehicles in March, and the sales volume of the new power was surpassed by AITO. However, LI made great progress, with vehicles delivered in March increasing by 39.2% year-on-year and 52.9% year-on-year in the first quarter. Moreover, as of March 31st, LI has delivered 713,764 vehicles, becoming the first brand of new forces in China to complete the milestone of delivering 700,000 vehicles.

In March, 2024 L-series SUVs and a new pure electric MPV ideal MEGA were ideally launched. Even though the ideal MEGA didn’t get the official expected response after it went on the market, it did contribute some sales at present. The 2024 L series has indeed been fully upgraded, and the price has hardly changed, and it is still the backbone of the brand.

In addition, LI’s next focus will be the upcoming ideal L6. As a reference, the car purchase threshold of the ideal L7 is 301,800 yuan, and the ideal L6 with more entry-level positioning will undoubtedly have a lower starting price. In this way, the ideal L series will at least no longer have no price advantage when competing with M7.

In addition to AITO and LI, Zero Run, Weilai and Tucki also announced their deliveries in March, with 14,567 vehicles, 11,866 vehicles and 9,026 vehicles respectively.

Zero run can surpass Weilai and Tucki, and the official said that C10 is the main reason. A medium-sized SUV only needs 128,800 yuan, and many configurations are ahead of the same level. Zero-run C10 has become the "flat replacement" of the ideal L series with its obvious cost-performance advantage. In addition, the newly released Zero Run C11, Zero Run C01 and Zero Run T03 have applied a brand-new electronic and electrical architecture, which has been upgraded in appearance, interior, intelligent driving, cockpit and other dimensions.

Xiaotong believes that the improvement of product strength is undoubtedly the main reason why zero-run cars can surpass Weilai and Tucki under the premise of ensuring cost performance. It is worth noting that the zero-run car has signed a contract with Huawei, and the HarmonyOS native application will be mass-produced in the future. The high-end and smooth smart cockpit has become a car purchase factor for more and more consumers. The cooperation between Zero Run and Huawei will not only provide users with a smarter car experience, but also make the brand quickly enter the first echelon in the intelligent field.

The monthly sales of Weilai and Tucki are growing steadily. Weilai did not push new moves in the first quarter, but Xiaotong learned that the switching of 2024 models under Weilai brand has been basically completed, and the intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving field will usher in a major upgrade in April.

Tucki launched the brand-new MPV Tucki X9 this year, and has delivered nearly 8,000 vehicles in three months, which is a brand-new sales pillar. However, for Xpeng Motors, there is still much room for improvement. To this end, Tucki will release a brand-new sub-brand at the Beijing Auto Show, and the product price will drop to the range of 100,000-150,000 yuan, competing with traditional brands such as Ai ‘an and BAIC to grab a special car and enter the A-class car market.

Generally speaking, the head market structure of the new energy auto market has not changed in March, and it is still asking the world, ideal zero run, and a number of new forces are eyeing. What is worrying is that the new power camp has begun to show obvious differentiation, especially the sales achievements of brands such as Weilai and Tucki have been delayed, which will make people wonder whether they have touched the ceiling.

BYD and Geely "blossomed more", while GAC Ai ‘an and SAIC Volkswagen have hidden concerns.

Traditional brands release sales data slowly, but there are also brands such as BYD, GAC Ai ‘an, Geely, Wuling and SAIC Volkswagen that quickly follow up. Among them, BYD is still the "leader" in new energy sales. In March, it sold a total of 301,631 new energy passenger cars, an increase of 147.8% from the previous month.

Specifically, Dynasty Family and Ocean Net are the absolute sales force of the Group, with a total of 286,712 vehicles sold in March, up 151.4% from the previous month. Tengshi’s chain-on-chain growth also exceeded 100%. Looking up to Auto and Equation Leopard, they positioned the mid-to high-end market, but thanks to the steady growth of market demand, they increased by 39.7% and 53.7% respectively.

?

After entering March, the products of Dynasty Family and Ocean Net quickly followed the "Glory Edition" model, and the cost performance was significantly improved, which further stimulated the sales of the already best-selling cars. The newly listed BYD Yuan UP has pulled the car purchase threshold of small pure electric SUV to less than 100,000 yuan, and the cost performance is also very high, but the vitality of the small SUV market is not high, and the role of Yuan UP has not been highlighted yet.

GAC Ai ‘an sold a total of 32,530 vehicles in March, an increase of 95.1% from the previous month. Although this figure is compared with the monthly sales level of about 40,000 vehicles in the second half of last year, it is still in a steady growth state.

In order to stimulate the sales growth, GAC Ai ‘an launched the corresponding preferential policies in March, and the official said that it won the order volume of nearly 1,600 vehicles on March 11th. At that time, some media even predicted that the sales volume of GAC Ai ‘an in March was expected to exceed 50,000 vehicles.

Obviously, the temporary surge in sales does not mean that it can be maintained, and it is worth noting that its high-end brand Haobo has no obvious effect on promoting brand sales.

Haobo currently has two products with high quality and cost performance. Consumers can buy a medium-sized and large-sized pure electric product for more than 200,000 yuan. However, the image of "network car" left by Ai ‘an to users is too profound. Although Haobo does not take the B-end market, the binding between Haobo and Ai ‘an is too deep, which affects the speed of Haobo’s market expansion. How to change the stereotype of users on the brand is a problem that GAC Ai ‘an needs to face.

Geely Automobile Group sold 150,835 vehicles in March, of which the penetration rate of new energy was about 30%, and a total of 44,791 new energy vehicles were sold. Among them, Galaxy series and Geometry series sold 10,185 vehicles and 12,882 vehicles respectively, up by 12% and 23% respectively. The Krypton brand delivered 13,012 vehicles in March, with a year-on-year increase of over 95%. The brand-new Krypton 001 and Krypton 007 both played a key role.

Wuling did not announce the sales volume of all models, but only announced the sales data of Wuling Binguo and Wuling Binguo PLUS in March: 12,694 vehicles.

At present, in the small pure electric vehicle market, BYD Seagull, BYD Dolphin and Wuling Bingo are at the leading level of faults, but Wuling Bingo is still at the level of being "suppressed" by dolphins by about 1000 vehicles. Wuling Bingo PLUS, which has been on the market for more than a month, has really helped Wuling Bingo alleviate a lot of competitive pressure.

From the data point of view, the combination of Wuling Bingo+Wuling Bingo PLUS is still inferior to the combination of dolphins and seagulls, but Wuling has gradually shifted the position of strategic products from mini-cars to small cars. At present, the market share of mini-cars continues to shrink, and the sales volume is directly halved compared with the peak period. Except for Hongguang MINIEV, the sales volume of models such as Panda mini and Chery Ice Cream is only 10,000.

The positioning of a small car is similar to that of a mini-car, and it is also used for daily commuting, but it pursues space and comfort more, and its configuration is relatively higher. According to the latest purchase tax policy, pure electric vehicles with a battery life of less than 200km and a battery life of not less than 120km at low temperature can not enjoy the purchase tax exemption, which gives small new energy vehicles a competitive advantage.

Considering that both dolphins and seagulls have launched glory versions, consumers might as well start positioning smaller cars with higher budgets. It is almost certain that the relevant policy requirements will only get higher and higher, and the shrinking of the mini-car market is irreversible. It is the best choice for car companies to transfer the battlefield in time.

Compared with domestic brands, the achievements of joint venture brands in the new energy market are not mainstream, but several car companies have gradually gained a foothold, and SAIC Volkswagen is one of them.

According to official data, the sales volume of SAIC Volkswagen ID. Family once again exceeded 10,000 vehicles in March, among which Volkswagen ID.3 became the main sales force of Volkswagen ID. Family without any surprise. However, the official has not released the detailed sales data of its specific models. It is not difficult to guess how bleak the sales performance of other models except Volkswagen ID.3 is.

This product front that needs "one enemy against a hundred" seems to be helpful to the sales data, but it may gradually become synonymous with "cheap big bowl", and the more the brand goes up, the more difficult it is. After all, "waiting for the party" may be waiting for the opportunity to cut prices.

However, SAIC Volkswagen does not seem to intend to change the status quo. According to the latest news, the government also uses a number of financial policies and hedging rates to market Volkswagen ID.3, further emphasizing the cost-effective nature of products. In addition to SAIC-Volkswagen, pure electric products such as SAIC-GM Buick and BMW Brilliance are also powerful terminal promotions.

Obviously, the joint venture brand has long recognized its limitations in the field of new energy, but if it wants to change the status quo, it can’t just rely on actions such as enriching the product line, but needs to start changing from the starting point of the product. Facing the increasingly fierce competition in the new energy market, Volkswagen chose to join hands with Tucki; Audi and Zhiji platform reached a cooperation; Dongfeng Honda has developed Lingxi brand for the new energy market …

They realize that this is ahead of most joint venture brands, but it is not so easy to change consumer stereotypes. According to the practice that almost all car companies choose "price for quantity", in the future, joint venture brands will present a multi-brand front in the new energy market, with at least one responsible for volume and one responsible for high-end.

Write it at the end

Although there are still many car companies that have not released the sales data in March at the time of writing, judging from the published results, the new energy brands in March basically got rid of the impact of the off-season in February, and their development is returning to the right track. Especially the automobile brands that have been in the leading position in sales volume have almost reached the peak at the end of last year, but it will take longer for Weilai and Tucki, which only launch pure electric products, to recover.

However, the fun is yet to come. The first quarter has passed, and car companies need to focus on the future in time.

At the end of April, Beijing Auto Show, the first large-scale international auto show in China this year, will officially open. In the face of the upcoming "splash of wealth", various manufacturers will launch the most advanced products, technologies and even brand-new sub-brands at that time. In addition to the new brand to be released by Tucki, Xiaotong learned that Cadillac Aoge, Zero Run brand new model, Geely Galaxy E5, Extreme Yue 07 and other products will all be unveiled.

These brands have made some achievements in the field of new energy, and will make in-depth adjustments in the positioning, experience and market competitiveness of new products, so as to adapt to the increasingly fierce competition in the new energy market. It is foreseeable that the growth potential of the new energy auto market will be deeply explored in April due to the Beijing Auto Show, and the results will only be better than that in March.
