Biden said he would choose Michelle as his running mate: she will be a strong vice president.

  China Daily Online, April 21st (Sun Ruonan) According to a report by CBS on the 20th, former US Vice President Biden expressed his willingness to choose Michelle Obama as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election.

  The potential Democratic presidential candidate said that former First Lady Michelle would be a strong vice president if she accepted the nomination.

  Biden said on the 20th: "I am willing to choose her (as a partner). She’s smart. She knows the road. She is a great woman, and the Obamas are my good friends. I don’t think she wants to live near the White House any more. " However, Biden also said that it is still too early to choose a vice presidential candidate.

  He said: "As far as candidates are concerned, we have just begun this process. We will soon let the Committee examine it and begin to investigate the background of potential nominees. Everything has just begun. "

  In addition, Biden said: "I promise that (the vice president) will be a woman, because it is very important that my government should be as diverse as the composition of society and the country. We promise that there will be a woman of color in the Supreme Court, which does not mean that there will not be a similar vice president. "

  "I think we must establish this system once and for all. In my opinion, we could have had a female president before, that is Hillary Clinton," Biden said. "Besides, there are many suitable women."

Behind the accusation of "armed rebellion": Where did the rift between Wagner and the Russian military come from?

  "During the battle (referring to special military operations), any grievances should be put aside, and now the fate of the Russian nation is facing a choice." Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed in a televised speech on the 24th that the Russian armed forces have received the necessary orders to eliminate those who organized armed riots.

  The day before, the Russian Federal Security Service announced that it had initiated a criminal investigation against Prigozhin, the founder of the Russian private armed "Wagner" mercenary group, on the grounds that Prigozhin "called for an armed rebellion". Subsequently, the Russian General Prosecutor’s Office also said that Prigozhin had been prosecuted for armed rebellion, which could be sentenced to 12 to 20 years’ imprisonment.

  Prigozhin denied that his action was a "military coup" and called it a "just war", and refuted Putin’s accusation of "treason", saying that their purpose was to save Russia from corruption and other phenomena. Earlier, news spread on social networks in the name of Prigozhin accused Russian Defense Ministry troops of attacking Wagner’s mercenary camp, saying that Wagner soldiers suffered "great losses" and promised to respond. The Russian Defense Ministry denied these accusations, calling them untrue and an "information provocation".

  At present, the Russian capital Moscow and other places have stepped up their vigilance and are strengthening their anti-terrorism measures. On the other hand, Wagner mercenaries announced their entry into Rostov region in southern Russia on the 24th, and entered Voronezh region in southern Russia on the same day, claiming to control a number of military facilities in the region. The British "Guardian" pointed out that the situation in Rostov, the southern part of Russia, is in jeopardy, and the turmoil in an area of strategic significance to Moscow may have a far-reaching impact on the Ukrainian crisis.

  In fact, since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Wagner mercenary group has been fighting side by side with the Russian army on the battlefield in Ukraine, and is regarded as a key force of the Russian army on the battlefield. Why did the founder of Wagner choose to stab the Russian army in the back at this time? Where did the rift between Wagner and the Russian army come from?

  From Putin’s Chef to Wagner’s Founder

  Wagner Group calls itself a "private military company", while more countries call it a mercenary organization. Its business covers operational staff, military consultants, training guidance, intelligence reconnaissance and so on. The organization is controlled by Russian oligarch yevgeny Prigozhin, who is the owner of a luxury restaurant in Russia. As a catering service contractor with close ties with many Russian political and military units, he once hosted a Russian state banquet, so he was called "Putin’s chef".

  Wagner Group opened its new headquarters in St. Peter’s, Russia last November, and it first entered the public eye in 2014. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), in 2014, Wagner supported the pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine and participated in Russia’s actions in Crimea.

  In the west, Wagner has direct contact with the Russian government and should be regarded as an agency, but the Russian government denies Wagner’s participation in official military operations. According to the Reference News, on the surface, Wagner has no direct relationship with the Russian regular army and has not been officially registered, but has participated in Russian military operations in Syria and Ukraine. According to the British military intelligence department, Wagner was the backbone of the war between Soledad and Bachmut.

  Before the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Wagner also operated in southeastern Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Central African Republic, Mali and Mozambique. According to previous reports, Wagner armed forces have the most advanced weapons and their own artillery. Most of its original members are veterans, and some even participated in the war in Afghanistan. They are well-trained and can perform the most complicated tasks, and are known for their efficient and fast actions.

  Prigozhin once claimed on the social platform Telegram that Wagner’s actions in Africa were "honest and fair" and only aimed at "defending African people, including those oppressed by bandits, terrorists and others". However, Gomoti, director of Sadeq Institute, a Libyan think tank, pointed out in an interview with the media that the intervention of Wagner Group in Libya led to the division and paralysis of the whole country.

  Wagner is famous for his fierce fighting style. Kolesnikov, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, once said in the Russian independent media Novaya Gazeta that "exaggerated cruelty" is the characteristic of Prigozhin. Marat Gabidulin, a former member of Wagner Group, said in his memoir that Prigozhin’s "totalitarian" decision-making style often leads to misjudgment and casualties. "Because he firmly believes that he is always right, he is a genius and often overestimates his ability."

  The "frontline hero" in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine

  After Russia launched "special military action" in Ukraine, the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine gradually evolved into a long-term conflict, and Russia launched some military mobilization. In this context, Wagner became an auxiliary supplementary force of Russian troops in Ukraine.

  In January this year, the British Ministry of Defence said: "It is almost certain that Wagner now commands 50,000 soldiers in Ukraine and has become a key part of the Ukrainian campaign." The US Department of National Security also holds the same view that Wagner’s 50,000 people in Uzbekistan are mainly composed of 40,000 prisoners from Russian prisons and 10,000 contractors.

  From the outside world, Wagner’s influence expanded in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, especially in January this year, Wagner claimed to occupy the important town of Leidal in Donetsk. According to Reuters, Russia occupied the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut in May, which was regarded as the biggest victory of Russia in the past 10 months, and Wagner was the biggest "hero" of this victory.

  Prigozhin claimed that 20,000 of his soldiers were killed in the battle for Bakhmut, and about half of them were Russian prisoners. They were promised that they would be free after fighting in Ukraine for six months. US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said at a news conference in May that Wagner’s death toll may exceed 100,000 since he joined the Ukrainian battlefield.

  Wagner claimed in May that he had established a "defensive front" in Bakhmut, which was denied by the Ukrainian army. According to the Guardian, after winning Bakhmut’s victory, Prigozhin made a speech to the people in Russia together with former arms dealer viktor bout and other hardliners, propagating his image of toughness, populism and anti-elitism, and attacking the "incompetence" of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which resonated with Russians who were dissatisfied with the progress at the front.

  "Wagner" and the escalation of high-level contradictions in the Russian army

  Although Wagner’s troops have been fighting side by side with the Russian regular army, Prigozhin often criticizes the top of the Russian Defense Ministry. He claimed that Moscow did not provide enough ammunition for Wagner’s troops, and even questioned Putin’s special military action in an interview with Russian political activist Konstantin Dolgov in May, saying that the initial goal was to "demilitarize" Ukraine, but the action backfired and made the Ukrainian army stronger.

  Over the past few months, Prigozhin has repeatedly accused Russian Defense Minister shoigu of being "incompetent". Recently, the contradiction has gradually escalated. At the beginning of June, Prigozhin claimed that shoigu deliberately made Wagner under-supplied, and the ammunition shortage rate was as high as 70%, so Wagner would leave Bakhmut and hand over the front to the Ministry of National Defense. This move is regarded as a threat to the Russian Ministry of Defense. In addition, Prigozhin has repeatedly denied the "victory" announced by the Russian Ministry of Defense, saying that the Ministry of Defense tried to "steal" Wagner’s glory.

  According to the Guardian, in early June, Wagner also detained Lt Col Roman Venevitin, a Russian military officer, and the Prigozhin Press Office posted a video questioning the officer on the social platform Telegram. Roman Venevittin opened fire on Wagner’s vehicle after drunkenness, accusing Wagner of stealing weapons, forcing mobilized soldiers to sign contracts with the organization, and trying to extort weapons from the Russian Ministry of Defense to incite "anarchy" on the Russian front. This incident once again exposed the rift between Wagner and the Russian army.

  As the war progressed, the rift between the two sides expanded into a wider gap. The Russian Defense Ministry said on June 10th that the "volunteer troops" in Ukraine must sign contracts with them before July 1st. This is considered to be an attempt by the Russian government to gain more control over these organizations. Prigozhin has refused to sign the contract and attacked the "inefficiency" of the command of the Ministry of National Defense.

  On June 13th, Putin expressed his support for shoigu’s initiative to put informal groups under central control. Putin believes that this can provide mercenaries with the same benefits as soldiers: "This is the only way to ensure social security, because if there is no contract with the state and no contract with the Ministry of National Defense, then the state’s social security has no legal basis." "We need to do this and do it as soon as possible." Other pro-Russian groups fighting in Ukraine, such as Kadyrov of Chechnya, have signed contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry.

  This actually shows that Putin supports the Ministry of National Defense led by shoigu in the dispute between Prigozhin and shoigu. Analysts believe that perhaps it is for this reason that Prigozhin, unwilling to lose control of Wagner, chose to "fight to the death" when the deadline came.

Adaptive evolution! A detailed comparison between the new and the old sagitar

interior decoration

  The interior is also the focus of new changes. However, the material has not shrunk. The overall instrument panel is made of soft materials, and the feel is still the best in the same class. There is no need to worry about the detailed workmanship and the feel of the buttons.

Volkswagen FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar 2012 1.4TSI automatic luxury model

  In design, the new sagitar is more full, and the details are more decorative. My favorite is its central control panel. I think the old central control panel is too rigid and lacks some layering.

About the new sagitar

Volkswagen FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar 2012 1.4TSI automatic luxury model

  We didn’t see the switch of ESP on the new sagitar. The manufacturer said that all models of the new sagitar are equipped with ESP system as standard, but no switch is designed. In terms of safety, the new sagitar has not shown the phenomenon of shrinking or reducing the allocation, and we will not lose our due safety configuration when buying low-profile models.

Ride space and feelings

  The new sagitar vigorously promotes that its space has been greatly improved compared with before. I think it’s no secret whether this is the case or not. It’s much more spacious when the car body is lengthened, but it’s necessary to make a routine comparison. After all, it’s better to use photos to explain everything directly.

  The experiencers with a height of 180cm have taken two generations of sagitar respectively, and there is not much difference in their head space. The overall performance can be regarded as the mainstream level of the same level, and the rear leg space is the focus of our attention. The new sagitar has increased from the previous three fingers to the present one and a half punches, and the ride space has been obviously improved.

  The rear suspension of the new sagitar is changed to a torsion beam structure. Compared with the old sagitar, the old sagitar is the first model of the same class in China to adopt a structure. The multi-link suspension is more accurate in handling and better in comfort. The new sagitar was replaced by torsion beam suspension, but the performance of this structure is not as good as that of multi-link suspension in all aspects, and the more reason should be its effective cost control.As for the dynamic performance of the new sagitar, what is the difference between the old sagitar and the old sagitar? Let the next new sagitar test article tell you!

  The front seat of the new sagitar has also been improved in design. The support on both sides of the seat backrest is obviously greater than that of the old model, and the lateral support of the seat to the body is also better than that of the old model, especially for those who are overweight. The central armrest box of the old sagitar has the function of adjusting up and down and back and forth, but this practical function has been lost in the new sagitar, and more can only be adapted to the car.

Analysis of Double Clutch: From Wet to Dry

  Introduction: With the mass production of the 7-speed DSG gearbox equipped with LuK dry dual clutch, the DSG gearbox has entered a new stage, and the dual clutch of the dual clutch transmission DSG took five years from wet to dry.

  With the mass production of the 7-speed DSG gearbox equipped with LuK dry dual clutch, the DSG gearbox has entered a new stage, and the dual clutch of the dual clutch transmission DSG took five years from wet to dry.

  The latest 7-speed DSG gearbox is instructive for the future development of automobile dual clutch system, which brings convenience, movement and comfortable driving experience. Since Volkswagen put into the market in 2003, the six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission has opened a new era of transmission, which is inseparable from the vigorous investment of Volkswagen in new technology and the vigorous expansion of parts manufacturers in the field of new technology. Standing behind Volkswagen’s first-generation DSG is Borg Warner, who is providing wet dual clutches for Volkswagen DSG, and who will stand behind the second-generation DSG?

  In the spring of this year, Volkswagen released a 7-speed DSG gearbox. Except for adding a gear, the biggest difference with the 6-speed DSG is that it adopts a dry dual clutch. This time, which component manufacturer provided the core component-dry dual clutch for the public? That is LuK Company, headquartered in Buehl, Baden, Germany. As an expert in clutch and gearbox system in the industry, it has developed this latest dry dual clutch through close cooperation with Volkswagen. In terms of fuel economy, it is better than the gearbox equipped with wet double clutch, and compared with the traditional manual gearbox, it can save fuel consumption by about 6%.

Wet dual clutch produced by Borgwarner

  The birth of double clutch makes the phenomenon of power interruption and passengers "nodding" when shifting gears become history. As the heart of DSG gearbox, the working principle of LuK dry dual clutch is simple: LuK’s dual clutch consists of two clutches. One of the clutches is connected with the odd gear input shaft of the gearbox: 1st gear, 3rd gear, 5th gear and 7th gear; The other clutch controls the input shaft of even gears: 2nd gear, 4th gear, 6th gear and reverse gear. For example, when the vehicle is driving in 2nd gear, 3rd gear is already in gear (only the 3rd gear clutch is not engaged). Therefore, the whole shift process can be carried out quickly, smoothly and without torque interruption. The shift is completed by electro-hydraulic control mechanism, and the driver can hardly feel the instantaneous shift and the opening and closing of a single clutch.

  The 6-speed DSG’s multi-plate dual clutch runs in the cooling oil tank in a "wet" way, while the LuK’s dual clutch has a dry structure. The torque transmission of wet dual clutch is realized by wet clutch friction plate immersed in oil, while the torque transmission of dry clutch is realized by friction plate on clutch driven plate. Because of saving the high efficiency of torque transmission of related hydraulic system and dry clutch itself, dry system greatly improves fuel economy. The same 1.9 TDI(105 PS/ 77 kW) engine with 7-speed DSG gearbox can save more than 10% fuel compared with 6-speed wet dual clutch transmission.

  The design of "dry" double clutch has brought many benefits, the most important of which is to significantly improve the efficiency of the gearbox system. In addition, the new generation DSG gearbox eliminates the suction filter, oil cooler and high-pressure oil pipe in the gearbox housing. Like the ordinary manual gearbox, gearbox oil is only used for lubrication and cooling of gearbox gears and bearings. Therefore, the 7-speed DSG transmission oil only needs 1.7 liters of transmission oil, while the 6-speed DSG transmission oil needs 6.5 liters. Although "dry" dual clutch has many benefits, it is limited in torque transmission. The new generation DSG gearbox is suitable for all "small" engines with maximum torque less than 250 Nm.

  Generally speaking, the dimension of dry double clutch is slightly larger than that of wet double clutch. This is determined by the layout of the double clutch and the friction material selected. Because the external dimensions of the dry dual clutch of the 7-speed DSG gearbox are slightly larger, the rest parts should be designed to be more compact, so that it can be equipped on Polo-class small cars.

  Since 2004, LuK has started close cooperation with Volkswagen in the development of DSG damping parts. The torsional vibration absorber in this DSG technology gearbox-dual-mass flywheel is also LuK’s product. LuK’s double clutch has been shipped to Volkswagen’s transmission factory in Kassel, Germany since the beginning of 2008. LuK’s factory in Buehl has been fully prepared for mass production (about Schaeffler Group: the German-headquartered Schaeffler Group has three famous brands: INA, LuK and FAG, and is a leading manufacturer in the global automobile industry and rolling bearing industry).

  * 300 HP: At present, the "maximum" engine power matching DSG gearbox is 300 HP.

  * 140℃: The maximum working environment (transmission oil) of electromechanical control module of 6-speed DSG gearbox is 140℃.

  * 250Nm: The maximum torque of the engine matched with the 7-speed DSG gearbox is 250 nm.

  * 350Nm: The maximum torque of the engine matched with the 6-speed DSG gearbox is 350 nm.

  The main reason for the difference in the above data is the adoption of dry/wet dual clutch.

A similar view of "hero"

  "In the land of runes, magic is everything." This is a competitive online game operated by tencent games — — The first sentence in the background setting of League of Legends.

  League of Legends is an e-sports game that is popular all over the world. In the game, players need to fight side by side in the Summoner’s Canyon, and finally win by turning map resources into team advantages. In reality, there is a road to the rise of a city, which coincides with the way to win this game.

  From the "land of runes" to the southernmost city in Sichuan, China, people deeply feel that "canyons" and "rifts" actually hide "opportunities" — — Panzhihua is the only city named after flowers in China, which was born in the national third-line construction. This city opened the door of "building a complete industrial system by self-reliance" in China in the Panxi Rift Valley. Therefore, people also call Panzhihua a "hero city".

  Two "heroes", one galloping in the online world, the other rushing in the years. This winter, the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition will be held in Panzhihua. At that time, two "heroes" will form an alliance and hand in hand present a "feast" about "heroes".

  Urban landscape and game map

  — — Clever "fit"

  Panzhihua is located in the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with extremely diverse landforms.

  "chinese national geography" once described Panzhihua as follows: a series of mountains running nearly north-south — — The Hengduan Mountains in the west, the Daliangshan Mountains in the east, and the Big Snow Mountain in the north, together with the large and small mountains in between, are mountainous and shoulder to shoulder. According to rough statistics, Panzhihua’s mountains account for more than 90% of the city’s total area, and it is a veritable "mountain kingdom."

  There are towering mountains and "heroic" water. As the main stream of the Yangtze River, the deep mountains along the Jinsha River have turned into a zigzag bend, and many rivers such as Anning River, Dahe River and Sanyuan River shuttle between mountains like capillaries, shaping numerous canyons and valleys along the way.

  League of Legends seems to have found the realistic projection of "Summoner Canyon" in Panzhihua.

  Summoner’s Canyon is a map in League of Legends. In the background story of the game, it is said that the most majestic battlefield of the latest wave is "Summoner Canyon". There are three different roads running through the whole battlefield, and there are magical forces everywhere.

  Panzhihua city is distributed in a strip shape along the Jinsha River, with a length of 20 kilometers from east to west, a width of 1-2 kilometers from north to south, and even less than 500 meters at the narrowest point. Panzhihua Avenue, Jinshajiang Avenue and Gangcheng Avenue run through the urban area. In the three-dimensional space, the city is constantly spreading from the river bank to the heights of the mountains, overlapping layers and bringing its own "canyon scenery".

  Interestingly, the Jinsha River runs through the city, dividing the main city of Panzhihua into two areas: Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which just correspond to the red and blue camps in the League of Legends map.

  Let’s imagine such a scene: when the player puts down the mouse, logs off from cyberspace and walks out of the arena of the urban hero competition, he suddenly finds that his city is actually a more grand "summoner’s canyon". Is this link between online games and reality full of "magic power"?

  Summoners all over the country and even the world, welcome you to punch in the "Summoner Canyon" in the real world.

  Urban Spirit and the Connotation of E-sports

  — — Common "background color"

  League of Legends is not only a game but also a sport.

  At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, e-sports made its debut as a formal competition for the first time. E-sports has long been not only an entertainment activity for a group of young people to sweat in the virtual world, but also a fusion of enthusiasm and competition.

  An ordinary person can be a fruit vendor, a takeaway rider, a taxi driver, a breakfast shop owner and a construction worker … … But when he entered the world of League of Legends and teamed up with other players to fight in the land of runes, he was the "hero" who appeared. Every player with the title of "hero" on his head needs to overcome difficulties and climb towards victory through continuous efforts and struggles.

  In this sense, "hero" is not a title, but a mission. Players are like this, and so are cities.

  As a new industrial city in the southwest of New China, the construction and development of Panzhihua has always been closely linked with the national mission.

  Zhong Shaoxi, a native writer in Panzhihua, wrote in the article "Mao Zedong and Panzhihua Development and Construction" that the idea of building a steel plant in Panzhihua began in early 1958. At that time, there was no large-scale steel base in the western part of China, which was very unfavorable to the development of heavy industry in the western part, and the development of rich mineral resources in Panzhihua was urgently needed for the development of steel industry in China.

  On March 4, 1965, after receiving the written report on the preparation and work plan of Panzhihua Special Zone submitted by Lv Dong and Chi Xu, President Mao Zedong immediately instructed that "this piece is very good". Panzhihua was thus listed as the focus of "third-line construction". Later, Premier Zhou Enlai personally took the lead in arranging the specific work of Panzhihua development and construction. Builders from all over the country poured into the deep mountain valley at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, and a legend of China’s urban development began.

  Since then, through the arduous efforts of several generations, the heroic Panzhihua builder has built a new industrial city full of vitality, uniqueness and great potential in the desolate Panxi Rift Valley.

  On December 22nd, 2022, "Opinions of Sichuan Provincial People’s Government of Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Supporting Panzhihua’s High-quality Development and Building a Common Prosperity Experimental Zone" was issued, which marked that Panzhihua has entered a new stage of development.

  Panzhihua once again shoulders the national mission. This time, he will explore the path, create experience and provide samples for Sichuan to achieve common prosperity with practical actions of high-quality development.

  Climbing is the common background of "heroes".

  Urban development and industrial layout

  — — Win-win "track"

  Half of the netizens in the world are e-sports gamers.

  In 2022, the global e-sports population will grow to 2.47 billion, accounting for 48.3% of the global netizens.

  The world’s largest and fastest-growing e-sports market is China.

  In 2022, China’s e-sports industry revenue was 144.503 billion yuan, and the e-sports population was about 488 million, ranking first in the world.

  Gamers in China have become the ultimate winners in more and more international e-sports competitions.

  Want to win, not only clubs and enthusiasts, but also cities aiming at the "new track".

  The person in charge of Tencent’s e-sports said that the semi-finals and finals of the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition were held in Panzhihua, which was the first time that Tencent had entrusted its major e-sports events to prefecture-level cities. Judging from past experience, the successful landing of the competition is expected to bring new traffic to the city and release new kinetic energy for the development of the cultural tourism industry.

  People flow, logistics and consumption … … This is the event bonus. When Panzhihua decided to incorporate e-sports into the urban industrial map, the expected return was obviously more.

  Smart parking makes urban management more refined, data flow makes mines smarter, and e-government cloud makes people run less errands … … In recent years, with data as the core element, Panzhihua has promoted the deep integration of next-generation information technologies such as the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and new products and applications of the digital economy have blossomed everywhere.

  E-sports competition is a new outlet of digital economy, and Panzhihua naturally doesn’t want to miss it.

  In 1965, Panzhihua became the first special zone for resource development in New China. Before 1987, it was called Dukou City. Since 1965, she is 15 years older than Shenzhen; Since 1987, she is seven years younger than Shenzhen.

  Similarly, youth is also the "key word" of e-sports.

  In a young city, hold a young competition. This not only promotes the brand image of Panzhihua city, but also attracts the active participation and extensive attention of young people from all over the country, injecting new vitality into the city. An e-sports "new IP" will become Panzhihua’s "youth business card"; A new format of "e-sports+"may become the engine for Panzhihua to sail to the "New Blue Ocean".

  "Grief Point" of Panzhihua player of the steel fierce sun server in the telecom zone of League of Legends sends an invitation to Panzhihua to friends of the team almost every winter. He said, "There is no winter here, and my hands and feet will not be frozen. The sunshine of Panzhihua brings my own ‘ Open a group ’ Effect. "

  Thank you "Sorrow Point" for introducing the city full of "magic breath".

  Once again, I sincerely invite summoners to come to the hero city of Panzhihua this winter to witness the birth of "heroes".

On September 10th, the second model of the company was officially launched. The new car has three configuration models, and the official guide price range is 209,900-299,900 yuan. During the listing period, the limited-time preferential price is 199,900-289,900 yuan, which is equivalent to a discount of 10,000 yuan for each model.

a

As a medium-sized and large-scale pure electric car, the standard version and the long-life version of the Extreme Yue 07 are built on the 400V platform, and only the top performance version is the 800V platform, so the price is not too surprising, but it is not too high. Recently, the extreme Yue officially claimed that the order for new cars exceeded 5,000 units within 48 hours of listing, and the 880km long-life version accounted for 75% of these 5,000 orders, and the ASD high-end smart driving option rate was 75%.

1400x0_1_q95_autohomecar__Chtk2WarjfOAU5OFACYD775dbhk922Extreme Yue 07 is a new model jointly launched by Geely and Baidu. It is based on the vast architecture of Geely SEA, focusing on intelligent technology, equipped with a brand-new end-to-end perception model, and optionally equipped with the official version of advanced intelligent driving 2.0. This is a pure visual intelligent driving scheme, and Baidu has polished a lot of time on this intelligent driving scheme.

After the ASD(Apollo Self Driving) Apollo advanced intelligent driving assistance system is installed, the forward AEB can stop at a maximum speed of 100 km/h, and the curve AEB function is added, which can also stop in the face of the disappearance of the preceding vehicle, supporting the navigation assistance of national high-speed or urban elevated sections. It is expected that the national urban navigation assistance driving will be realized by the end of 2024. In addition, in the parking part, this system supports the functions of voice parking outside the car, narrow parking in dark light and ASD parking service.

The original price of this system is 29,900 yuan. At present, the optional price is 4,999 yuan, which is really not high. You can also subscribe on a monthly basis. The standard price is 599 yuan/month, and the right to use the car is given free of charge for 3 months.

f17032cf8deb87b3c1cc1f8eb17ed54d~2508x0Adhering to the design concept of Less is more, the shape of the new car is really good. The front of the car is a closed grille with a penetrating LED daytime running light strip, and the light groups on both sides are designed in an inverted T shape. The upper and lower parts are designed with intelligent interactive light groups, while the middle is a horizontally arranged LED light source with lenses. The trapezoidal air intake is below the front of the car. The whole front face is simple but not simple, and it has a good sense of movement with the clamshell cover.

63421fe6896337d93eb973abda8279e9~2508x0The side of the car body is designed with a sliding back coupe style, and the roof line is smooth, with no door handle (pressing the button to open the electric door), hidden water tangent and hidden B-pillar, no obvious waist line, and the door cambered transition, which brings a low drag coefficient of 0.198Cd. The rear part is designed with a hatchback tailgate and a super-running wide-body rear shoulder, with a through taillight group, and the two sides are made into a split style, which is very recognizable.

The new car offers six body colors to choose from, including: Aurora Green, Deep Space Black, Technical White, Titanium Crystal Grey, Galaxy Purple and Space Silver, etc. The optional cost of Titanium Crystal Grey and Galaxy Purple is 6000 yuan, which is free during the listing period.

1400x0_1_q95_autohomecar__Chtk2WarmOuADmGiACY6LrJSH7o275The interior is made in a minimalist style. The center console is equipped with a 35.6-inch penetrating screen, with a D-shaped dual-spoke, and a U-shaped semi-spoke is optional for a limited time. All the buttons and knobs in the car are simplified, and only two rollers and four button indicators are reserved on the steering wheel, which are used to control the left and right turn signals, wipers and lighting functions respectively. Just like Tesla, the gears are integrated in the screen, and the sliding shift mode is adopted.

1400x0_1_q95_autohomecar__Chtk2WarmJWAVq5bADBdOstQ2sk955At present, this design is a trend, but whether it is good or not, for drivers who are used to dialing the lever to light, it will be unaccustomed to suddenly changing to the button type, especially when the steering angle of the steering wheel is larger in the turning state, so it is difficult to distinguish the left and right control of the light. If it is changed to a semi-spoke steering wheel, it will not be difficult to use it without turning back, but this kind of steering wheel also needs to be adapted, especially when the vehicle is moving at low speed or turning around.

1400x0_1_q95_autohomecar__ChxkPWarmkuAMiRmAC_fObBHsfc983The length of the car is 4,953 mm, the width is 1,989 mm, the height is 1,480 mm, and the wheelbase of the new car is 3,013 mm. Although it is a coupe body posture, there is no problem in the interior space. Passengers with a height of 175 cm have more than one punch in the front and rear rows, and more than two punches in the leg space when sitting in the second row.

The hatchback tailgate design is adopted, which has a large opening and is convenient to take things. The trunk has a small conventional volume and a general width, and the back of the rear seat is supported in proportion, with a maximum volume of 1573 liters.

1400x0_1_q95_autohomecar__ChxkPWarlduAUjXOADe_9cfOdTY748In terms of power, the new car has two single-motor models and one dual-motor model. The maximum power of a single motor is 200 kW, and the zero-hundred acceleration is 6.9 seconds and 6.5 seconds respectively, so the power is sufficient. The version uses the first 230 and the last 300 kW motors, and the fastest zero-hundred acceleration is 3.5 seconds. It is equipped with 71.4/100/93.4 kWh battery packs, and the corresponding cruising range is 660/880/770 respectively. Support fast charging, but all models do not provide slow charging port, which is a bit inappropriate and supports external discharge.

The chassis suspension adopts front double wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the top model is equipped with iRTD real-time damping adjustable vibration reduction system, which can monitor the road surface to adjust the damping at a speed of 500 times per second in real time, bringing more comfortable driving experience.

2023 Shanghai Auto Show: GAC Trumpchi E9 real shot

  [Pacific Auto, Industry Channel] At the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, GAC Trumpchi brought a new MPV – E9, which is the first Trumpchi smart electric hybrid derived from the Trumpchi M8 Guru Edition. In simple terms, it is the plug-in version. We have a real shooting experience in front of it, so let’s taste this one together.

   

  First of all, you can see that in terms of appearance, the E9 uses a banner-type chrome-plated trim, officially called "Kunpeng Spread Wing", which seems to be closer to the positioning of new energy models. In addition, in terms of appearance color, the Trumpchi E9 has blade shadow white, elegant black, palace gold, and brocade purple.

   

  In terms of body size, the length, width and height are respectively: 5193/1893/1823 (mm), which is 3070mm, and is positioned in the medium and large MPV, which is on the same level as competing models such as Saina and D9.

   

  In terms of interior, the Trumpchi E9 continues the cockpit design of "Swan Wings", and has two interior themes of "Opera Palace" and "Yunshan Zhushui". The difference is that the Trumpchi E9 adds a 12.3 multimedia entertainment LCD screen to the passenger, forming a three-screen take-off visual effect.

  In terms of seats, the real model adopts a 7-seat layout of 2 + 2 + 3, in which the second row supports rich functions such as seat electric adjustment,/heating/massage, which is very close to the definition of land first class. Not only that, the second row is also equipped with a display screen on the roof, which can maximize the life in the car.

  In terms of power system, the Trumpchi E9 is equipped with a self-developed 2.0TM hybrid special engine + GMC 400 hybrid special transmission + 25kW · h magazine battery pack. Under this power combination, the WLTC operating condition of the whole car has a comprehensive battery life of over 1000km, and the WLTC feeds a hundred kilometers of fuel consumption of 6.05L. Among them, the 2.0TM maximum power is 140kW, the maximum torque is 330N · m, and the official 100-kilometer acceleration time is 8.8s.

  After a series of experience is not difficult, Trumpchi E9 is full of competitiveness, it has achieved a full standard in all aspects, and the newly added 2.0T plug-in system has greatly improved its competitiveness, combined with the pre-sale price of 33-390,000 It seems that there is no doubt that Trumpchi E9 will be a competitive luxury MPV.
