1905 movie network news On September 7th, the film created by Chinese mainland independent animation producer MTJJ and his studio officially landed in major theaters across the country. This domestic two-dimensional animation dubbed by Shanxin, Liu Mingyue and other seiyuu is the first novel of the same name. Once the film was released, it received rave reviews, and the super-high reputation set a new record of the highest score of the cat’s eye and Taobao Film dual-platform animated films.

At the same time, the national roadshow of the film is also going on non-stop. On September 8th, director Mu Mu, original painting A Gen and film promotion ambassador Bo Huang appeared in Dalian, Liaoning Province, and chatted with the local audience about the birth of the film "The Battle of Luo Xiaohei".

Bo Huang, the promotion ambassador, answered questions with humor, and director idolize, the strength of wood, became a fan brother in seconds.

At the event site, Bo Huang, the film promotion ambassador of The Battle of Luo Xiaohei, also made a surprise appearance. As a director, original painting and promotion ambassador, it was the first offline business. Yesterday (September 8), the roadshow was brilliant and climaxed frequently. Teacher Bo Huang said frankly that she is also a fan of Luo Xiaohei. She waited for a long time and was very hard. This time, she waited for a movie and was very excited.

When asked by the host why he chose to be the image promotion ambassador of The Battle of Luo Xiaohei, Mr. Bo Huang’s answer was also witty. He said, "Image"! Luo Xiaohei, who was cured by Meng, and Bo Huang’s warm and handsome image are really just right.

In Bo Huang’s question and answer, many problems were solved, even the ultimate question — — "Why doesn’t Luo Xiaobai follow his father’s surname Huang" also got a satisfactory answer at the scene. Teacher Bo Huang replied wittily, because she had made a guest appearance before as Huang’s father, Luo Xiaobai took her mother’s surname, and her mother was Show Lo.

The cute answer of logical perfect score also made the director Mu Secheng fascinated. At ordinary times, he in honest and frank also felt nervous when he saw idols. After being nervous and excited, the director went online to idolize and boldly "confessed" the film promotion ambassador. "Teacher Bo Huang is my favorite actor, and I am very happy after the film is finished or released, but this moment when I am on the same stage with Teacher Bo Huang is to jump up happily!"

Bo Huang, the director who made the past behind the scenes, was invited to participate in the opera.

In the post-screening communication session of the roadshow, director Mu also talked about the little-known behind-the-scenes story in the film production process. As we all know, the birth of the film "The Battle of Luo Xiaohei" lasted for five years, but few people know that the movie script was written for one year, while more than 70,000 original paintings in the film were painted for more than three years. The ingenuity of the works described by one stroke can be seen.

As a senior fan of Luo Xiaohei, Teacher Bo Huang also silently started the reminder mode at the scene. When he learned that the director had 70 or 80 episodes of planning for the opera, Teacher Bo Huang was deeply moved by the craftsman’s ingenuity of "choosing one thing for life". When asked by the director whether he can be painted into the drama of the 29th episode, the lovely teacher Bo Huang readily agreed, and said with a smile, "The health-care medicine is ready, and I will see if I can last until then". At the end of the activity, the warm-hearted film promotion ambassador, Mr. Bo Huang, also made an emotional appeal to cinemas to arrange more films, so as not to let such a high-quality national film be buried.

At present, the film "The Battle of Luo Xiaohei" has won the box office champion for two consecutive days, and the warm story of the coexistence of Betrox’s cured characters and transvestites has also won unanimous recognition and crazy Amway from people in the industry such as director Xú Zhēng and beast Xiaoxing Yi. Guo Man’s classic previous works are also waving flags and shouting for Luo Xiaohei’s War. I believe this beautiful and pure work will sprout more people’s hearts.

　　[Long-term test] At first, X6 was built on the basis of X5, and GLE Coupe was built on the basis of GLE. Although X4 and GL were relatively cheap later, the high price of luxury brands still made them only a few people’s things. Until a while ago, a car appeared, so that ordinary consumers can also come into contact with this Coupe style, and the price is less than 200 thousand, isn’t it attractive? Well, that’s it.

　　Hello, everyone, I’m Hou Yunfeng, the evaluation editor. I’m always called "Monkey Brother" at ordinary times, and I’ll perform the CX-4 long test this time. I also have a partner, that is, Wang Xilin, the car critic of our Car Encyclopedia. Why is she sitting on a somersault cloud? Because Cece recently had a bad cold and had to go to the hospital for infusion every day, she couldn’t catch up with the first issue, but she told me to take a group photo together, so I had to put her on the P. Don’t worry, everyone. After Cece recovers, she will come back to bring you long-term test content.

　　During the long-term test for half a year, CX-4 will be used as the daily commuter car for me and Sisi, and it will be used in turn. I commute 70 kilometers every day, and Sisi needs 50 kilometers. The distance is far and it is also very blocked. During this time, we will experience the fuel consumption, power, space and maintenance of CX-4, and strive to bring you the most authentic car experience. If you have any questions about CX-4 or want us to answer them, you can leave a message on my editing blog or Cece’s Weibo.

● Brief introduction of long measuring vehicle

　　Let’s talk about the test car first. The 2016 Mazda CX-4 2.5L automatic four-wheel drive Blue Sky Passion Edition has a long name, and it is the second best in the whole system. It is also the low match in two 2.5L cars, with a guide price of 192,800. Why did you choose it in the 2.0L five-car and 2.5L two-car? The reason is very simple. The power performance of the 2.5L model is better, and the 19-inch big feet are more in line with the Coupe shape. I believe that the friends who buy CX-4 are mainly for the face value and power, otherwise why don’t I buy a 2.0L one? Compared with the 2.5L high allocation, the power and four-wheel drive are the same, but some configurations are missing. Generally speaking, this car has a high cost performance and is suitable for friends who love driving.

　　From the first time I saw CX-4, I was attracted by its Coupe shape, which was really handsome and personalized, and the rate of turning back on the road was not low. The 19-inch big feet are particularly air-lifting. It looks much stronger than the 17-inch model of the 2.0L model, and the tires are thick enough. You don’t have to worry about running over potholes and manhole covers. It’s quite good.

　　However, CX-4′ s handsome big slip back shape has many troubles in daily use, and the rear windshield has a poor view. Once, three colleagues sat in the back row and went out together, and almost nothing could be seen in the rearview mirror. Moreover, it rains frequently these days, no matter it is light rain or heavy rain, as long as it falls on the rear windshield, it will be difficult to slide down, and it will be blurred if it gathers too much. When I used to drive an SUV or a car, I didn’t drive it very often. If I switch to CX-4, I must keep it open, otherwise I really can’t see it.

　　[car home Technology] Cadillac XTS is here. Believe it or not, this time, it seriously sent an afternoon letter to Audi A6L. It is natural to be prepared for such a high profile.

● engine

◆ 2.0T engine

　　Cadillac XTS models sold in China will provide two choices: 2.0T engine and 3.6L naturally aspirated engine. From the product information (2.0T Elite, 2.0T Luxury, 2.0T Premium, 3.6L Platinum), models equipped with 2.0T engines will become the main sales force. Can this 2.0T engine with the title of Ward’s Top Ten Engine provoke this girder? Let’s take a look at it.

　　This LTG 2.0T engine is very dazzling in terms of data. Even for the models listed in China, after localization adjustment, the 2.0T engine still retains 267 horsepower, which is not easy for a production car.

　　In fact, these technologies are not enough to make this 2.0T engine stand out among all sentient beings. Only data can explain its power. EA113 engine (mounted on Audi TTS) with the same level is obviously not as trendy as LTG engine, while Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other similar products are technologically advanced, but they have no courage to push the data to a higher level. I think this is the value of the 2.0T engine code-named LTG. According to GM staff, this engine will become exclusive to Cadillac brand in China market.

◆ 3.6-liter naturally aspirated engine

　　Among the four models, except for three models with 2.0T engines, Cadillac XTS also provides a model with a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. Judging from the type of engine, this engine obviously pays more attention to the more linear power output.

　　From the parameter point of view, compared with the cylinder diameter, the shorter stroke makes the engine better at running at high speed, which is beneficial to the transmission of power in a more linear way. Although the efficiency is not as good as that of the 2.0T engine, the engine is more in line with the positioning of Cadillac XTS in terms of working characteristics.

　　In terms of engine technology application, this LFX model 3.6-liter naturally aspirated engine can also be called the mainstream. The addition of in-cylinder direct injection system can get a larger compression ratio for the engine, so as to improve the working efficiency of the engine. In the traditional sense, the V6 engine has stronger power and smoother operation, but the problem of self-weight is always an unavoidable disadvantage. However, with the improvement of engine manufacturing technology, the engine weight can also be controlled by using more integrated components, and so is this V6 engine. The weight of 157kg relieves the pressure of the front suspension to a certain extent, and the handling performance will benefit.

◆ The naming rules of the rear logo have changed.

● base

　　There are also some bright spots in the suspension structure of Cadillac XTS, such as Hiberstrut front suspension structure evolved from McPherson structure and the combination of MRC active electromagnetic induction suspension system and rear axle air spring. These chassis technologies really add a lot of color to Cadillac XTS. It is worth mentioning that although the models to be sold in China are not equipped with four-wheel drive systems for consumers like the overseas models, we also have reason to look forward to its arrival.

◆ Hiberstrut front suspension structure

　　Hiberstrut’s front suspension structure evolved from the widely used McPherson style. Compared with the front suspension with double wishbone structure, the traditional McPherson front suspension has the advantages of compact structure, lighter weight and faster response speed in handling. However, due to the lack of sufficient lateral positioning parts, the lateral rigidity is low and the handling stability is poor. In addition, the traditional McPherson structure can not play a good role in restraining the torsion steering caused by unequal length semi-shafts. The structure of Hiberstrut well neutralizes the advantages of McPherson structure and double wishbone structure, that is, it controls the weight and improves the stability of handling.

　　From this comparison, we can see the difference between the Hiberstrut structure and the traditional McPherson structure. On the basis of the McPherson structure, there is an additional fixed point between the steering knuckle and the steering column, and a short control arm is responsible for the lateral positioning at the upper end. This design concept is similar to that of the double wishbone, except that the structure is more compact and the weight is lighter. In addition to strengthening the fixing rigidity, different steering knuckle fixing methods lead to the change of the kingpin inclination angle, and the smaller kingpin inclination angle makes the wheels of the vehicle have better fit with the ground when turning, thus improving the handling performance of the vehicle in corners. The reduction of the kingpin inclination angle also affects the alignment performance of the wheel to a certain extent, and of course, it can be improved by matching with the steering assist system.

　　Not only the structure is simplified, but also the front suspension of Cadillac XTS is made of aluminum, such as the bearing seat and the strut at the lower part of the shock absorber.

◆ Brembo four-piston calipers are standard for all front brakes.

　　Brembo four-piston calipers are the standard configuration of all Cadillac XTS models. Compared with competing models of the same class, this performance-oriented configuration is really rare.

◆ Adaptive chassis

　　In addition to structural optimization, Cadillac XTS is also equipped with a set of MRC active electromagnetic induction suspension system in the chassis, which can adjust the damping of shock absorber in real time according to the driving mode options and actual driving needs. Not only that, the air spring also appears in the rear suspension part. However, these configurations will only be available in 2.0T premium models and 3.6L Platinum models with 3.6L engines.

　　The piston rod of the shock absorber is equipped with an electromagnetic coil, and the magnetic fluid in the shock absorber is a suspension liquid in which magnetizable soft iron particles are suspended in hydrocarbon solution. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, the magnetic field formed makes the iron particles form a fiber structure arrangement along the fluid direction, and the strength of the combination between particles in the structure is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, so the damping performance can be changed only by changing the current.

　　The system collects information at a frequency of 1000 times per second and reacts quickly, so as to ensure that some unnecessary sloshing is filtered when the vehicle is driving on complex roads, so that the shift of the center of gravity of the vehicle body and the degree of pitching forward and backward can be effectively controlled, and the contact between the tire and the ground can be increased as much as possible. This control logic is also useful in the process of intense driving and after making emergency avoidance actions.

　　Different from the combination of spiral spring and variable damping shock absorber used in the front damping mechanism, the air spring is selected as the elastic element of the suspension in the rear damping mechanism of Cadillac XTS. I think this is also due to the consideration of ride comfort. After all, XTS has locked in the field of executive cars, and the ride feeling in the back row should be taken seriously. Of course, the coordination of air spring and variable damping shock absorber is also very direct for the control of body posture. In addition, it is also an advantage to adjust the horizontal position of the car body in real time according to the changes of the car body load and road conditions.

● safe practice

　　The ESS enhanced safety strategy built on Cadillac XTS has attracted many technologies to improve driving safety, most of which are active safety technologies. Of course, passive safety technologies are also superior in the same class cars. It must be mentioned that Cadillac XTS comes standard with 10 airbags.

◆　Active safety technology

Forward collision warning+road deviation warning

　　We are familiar with these two technologies, which were introduced in detail in "The Third Eye to Analyze the The Secret Behind of the Central Rearview Mirror". Indeed, the best way to improve driving safety is to nip the collision accident in the cradle, and effective monitoring is the key.

　　The camera installed on the front windshield can take 12 high-definition photos every second, and the image information is analyzed by image comparison software to confirm the real-time situation before getting off the bus in driving state. When it is found that the vehicle is too close to the vehicle in front or the vehicle tends to deviate from the lane, the system can use the indicator light, buzzer and seat with vibration warning function to send a warning to the driver in an effort to make the driver pay more attention. Unfortunately, these two active safety systems only have prompt function at present. It is worth noting that these two functions will be activated only when the vehicle speed reaches the working conditions of the system.

　　It is not Cadillac’s initiative to remind drivers by vibration. We have introduced the steering wheel vibration reminder in related articles before, and Citroen C6 also uses seat vibration to remind drivers. However, in contrast, XTS’s vibrating seat is more comprehensive in mode, and the vibration can appear in the left rear, right rear or both sides of the cushion, and the vibration in different positions represents warnings from different directions. Cadillac engineers believe that this reminder with direction indication is more effective than the traditional buzzer.

●　Man-machine interaction system

　　In my impression, compared with other brands of cars, German brand cars have more profound attainments in human-computer interaction system. However, now more and more manufacturers are starting to build their own human-computer interaction systems. Unlike the former, they prefer to realize some ideas with a basic and mature system architecture. The CUE system of Cadillac XTS belongs to this category, and the resulting experience is really different from others.

◆ Focus on user experience

　　CUE system began to be developed in 2008. In order to create a revolutionary experience, in the research and development stage, the system designer conducted a follow-up survey of 32 drivers for half a year and recorded their driving habits one by one. Then, engineers and designers conducted research and development based on these summarized data and corresponding technologies, and finally integrated the CUE system with the vehicle through modeling, visual feeling of the screen and touch feeling.

　　The traditional physical buttons can’t be found in the center console of Cadillac XTS, and the control panel is changed to the same capacitive touch technology as the display of the center console. Although this is rare in cars, most people can adapt to this operation mode quickly. After all, it is not much different from the electronic products you play with all day except the size. In order to counteract the fuzzy feeling of the touch panel during operation, the system gives a certain feedback effect by vibration, but to be honest, I don’t like this slightly abrupt vibration feeling very much. Unfortunately, the system does not support the function of adjusting or closing the vibration intensity.

◆ Development of operating system based on Linux

　　CUE system is developed based on Linux operating system, and the familiar Android system occupies most mobile terminal devices except Apple. From the daily experience, the platform of Android system is more flexible, which means that there are more choices in the use of application software. For Cadillac’s CUE system, it can connect with the mobile phone via Bluetooth, and use 3G network to download the application software needed by individuals. In order to ensure the security of the system, all software from third parties need to be certified by Cadillac before it appears in the download interface.

　　At present, the development authority of the application software around the CUE system has not been fully opened to the outside world, so its advantages cannot be released for the time being. However, the 8-inch multi-touch LCD screen is ready for this purpose, and the page-turning ability of supporting up to 5 screens is comparable to that of mobile phones in terms of code placement of application software. But from another perspective, how many third-party software development organizations will CUE attract? This has a great relationship with the coverage area of CUE system.

◆ Two-picture information flying interaction

　　The design of screen and software is the key to improve the experience, and the hardware is the foundation to realize all this. CUE system adopts ARM11 series of three-core processors, which are widely used in smart phones. This makes the CUE system more comfortable in running application software, navigation and picture processing of display screen. However, in the process of operation, finger movements and screen changes are not as smooth as smart phones such as iPhone.

　　The all-digital instrument and the center console display screen, which can realize the flying interaction of double-screen information, are one of the highlights of the CUE system. By using the touch technology and the data interaction between the two displays, the driver can move the information in the center console display screen to the all-digital instrument for display, and this process only needs the finger to move. This unprecedented experience can really make people shine.

◆ All digital instruments support four background modes.

◆ Entertainment function

☆ Seamless connection with the mobile terminal is realized.

　　Let’s take the mobile phone as an example. After connecting with the mobile phone through Bluetooth, the CUE system will integrate the information in the mobile phone. In addition to the phone book information, music files will also be classified. Moreover, the list of online music such as QQ music will also appear in the entertainment files of the CUE system, which embodies the concept of "cloud".

☆ Rear row equipment

　　The entertainment function of the CUE system itself is also very powerful. The central control display screen and the rear display screen can play different video contents through the Blu-ray drive or other external media devices installed in the glove box. In my opinion, this is very good, but if a split-screen display is needed in an actual car, more demand may be two passengers sitting in the back row, just like video equipment on an airplane. Since each seat is equipped with a display screen, the passengers in the back row will feel somewhat disappointed when they find that they need to accommodate each other during the video playback. Of course, two people watching the same content will also produce more common topics.

● Other details

◆ Active noise reduction and mute system

　　In order to improve the quiet degree in the car, Cadillac XTS is equipped with an active noise reduction and mute system (ANC) provided by Bose. When the system detects the presence of noise, the BOSE sound system assembled in the car emits sound waves in opposite phase to the noise, so as to cancel the noise in the car. This set of active noise reduction technology from audio is also used in headphones.

◆ Multi-directional channel adjustment

◆ Glove box with password lock

　　Cadillac XTS also installed a password lock for the glove box by using CUE system. When lending a vehicle to others or sending it for repair, you can protect your privacy through an encrypted glove box. The encryption is set to be one-off, and the previously set password will be invalid after the owner successfully unlocks it, which is similar to the safe in the hotel.

◆ Head-up display

◆ Parking aid system

◆ on star

Editor’s summary:
　　Americans seem to have more say in the creation of user experience, which is more felt by European mobile phone manufacturers who once thought they would last forever. Which field will be subverted next? Vehicle man-machine interaction system? The emergence of the CUE system is expected to break the tripartite confrontation of German cars in the field of human-computer interaction system. However, it is not yet time, because from the actual experience, although it has certain expansion ability, the operation fluency of the CUE system has not reached my expected effect (the previous publicity mostly compared with Apple products, which invisibly raised people’s expectations for the CUE system). If it can be further optimized in hardware and software, it may really be deeply rooted in people’s hearts over time. It can only be said that the CUE system adds a lot of color to Cadillac XTS.

　　At the beginning of the article, it is said that GM has found a strong rival for Cadillac XTS in China market-Audi A6L. At present, the BMW 5 Series is the most threatening car to Audi A6L. Although Cadillac is both high-end in brand value and XTS is also striving to build its sense of science and technology, the products of these two brands are completely different in China market. What will impress the consumers who need medium and large luxury cars? This question really needs deep thought. (Photo/Text car home Li Boxu)

Accused of consumer suffering Xú Zhēng responded.

The film "Retrograde Life" is being broadcasted in cinemas. On August 13th, the film director and starring Xú Zhēng and actor Wu Jiakai appeared in Hangzhou roadshow. According to statistics, as of noon on August 12, the box office of summer movies in 2024 has exceeded 9.2 billion yuan. Although it is inferior to that in 2023, with the release of more kinds of rich movies, there is still room for the summer movie market to pick up.

"Retrograde Life" focuses on the story of Gao Zhilei, a middle-aged unemployed person, becoming a takeaway, and is written, directed and starred by Xú Zhēng himself. Xú Zhēng shared in the roadshow that he chose to act in person because of his deep resonance with the role, so as to more accurately present the complex feelings inside the role. After the film was released, the audience’s evaluation showed polarization, and some critics thought that the film was suspected of "consumption suffering". Xú Zhēng responded by saying that the movie can’t meet everyone’s expectations. He respects every feeling of watching movies, and emphasizes that it is unfair to criticize directly before watching the movie.

Since the release of Retrograde Life for six days, the box office has quickly exceeded 200 million yuan, which indicates that Xu Zheng has once again set foot in realistic themes after Dying to Survive. Dying to Survive not only achieved commercial success, but also aroused social concern about medical equity. In its first week, it topped the global box office with 1.333 billion yuan, and finally gained 3.1 billion yuan.

As a hot spot in the film market, summer movies continue to attract diverse film works. Although the opening of the summer file in 2024 is slightly dull compared with the previous year, with the strong performance of films such as Catching Dolls and Silent Killing, and the addition of new films such as Decryption and Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century, the market is expected to usher in new growth momentum. According to statisticians’ analysis, many domestic and foreign films to be released in the next few weeks, including The Hedgehog and Detective Conan: A Million Dollar Five-pointed Star, will have a positive impact on the summer file.

The industry predicts that the summer box office in 2024 may remain in the range of 17.5 billion to 21.7 billion yuan, showing that despite the challenges, the film market is still recovering, especially the producers of high-quality content are expected to usher in performance improvement.

After the new upgrade of Huawei’s smart car selection model, Huawei’s "HarmonyOS Zhixing" was born, and the new HarmonyOS Zhixing will provide smart travel solutions for car companies more comprehensively and deeply. At present, the AITO Wenjie brand cooperated by Huawei & Cyrus and the Zhijie brand cooperated by Huawei & Chery have both achieved the launch of new cars. In 2024, Huawei will cooperate with BAIC and JAC to launch two brands and new cars, namely "Enjoy the World" and "Proud World", so as to realize the "World" and "Four donkey kong" in the lineup.

At present, the new models M7 and M9 of AITO’s Wenjie brand have received strong response from the market, and the S7, the first car of Zhijie brand, has also received tens of thousands of orders after its listing, which has made Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing take the lead in the news. In 2024, the four "Jie" brands of Huawei HarmonyOS Zhixing will usher in a product explosion. The author of this article will take you to discuss the heavy new cars that will be launched by the four "Jie" brands in 2024 in advance.

1. AITO boundary: changed boundary M7, new boundary M5 and boundary M8.

According to the news, AITO Wenjie brand is expected to push three new cars in 2024, namely, the new M7, the new M5 and the Wenjie M8, which are expected to be unveiled or listed in the second quarter, the first half and the second half respectively.

First, change M7. The M7 currently on sale is a model M7 that was launched in September 2023. It is a new model that has been upgraded on the basis of the first M7 in 2022. It is precisely because of the arrival of the new M7 that Huawei Smart Car has been reborn.

The modified M7 that will be launched in 2024 may be a mid-term modified model, because it has been two years since the first M7 went on the market, and it is time for the mid-term modified M7 to come. At present, there is no more news about the modified M7, but we can briefly analyze it with reference to the new M7. There are many differences in design between the new M7 and the new M7. The M9 is a design style in the new energy era, while the M7 is still a traditional fuel car shape, so the modified M7 will definitely make a big size adjustment in appearance design. On the power level, the modified M7 will still be a combination of the current 1.5T range extender+motor+battery pack, and some models will also have a four-wheel drive system.

Secondly, the new model M5 is expected to be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in 2024. The cash model M5 is a 2023 model, which is based on the 2022 model just like the M7 model, and is designed with traditional fuel vehicle modeling elements. In 2024, the new M5 is expected to be upgraded in details such as exterior and interior like M7, and adjusted to a family-style design language similar to M9. However, the official news has not yet responded, and we will wait together.

Finally, the brand-new M8 is expected to be launched in the second half of the year. Different from M7 and M5, Wenjie M8 will be a brand-new SUV. From the figures, it will be between M7 and M9, and it will provide 6-seat or 7-seat layout. The appearance of M8 will be basically the same as that of M9, and the family design language will be strengthened. In terms of body size, the car is expected to be smaller than M9 and larger than M7. It is predicted that the wheelbase will be 3 meters and the body length will be about 5.1 meters, positioning medium and large SUVs.

In the car, the HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit system will provide a wealth of driving and entertainment functions. The intelligent driving assistance system is expected to be equipped with HUAWEI ADS? 2.0 fusion sensing system to achieve high-level intelligent driving assistance. In terms of chassis, the M8 will be equipped with Huawei Turing intelligent chassis, and air suspension +CDC electromagnetic damping shock absorber is expected to appear on some models. The power system is an extended range hybrid power system consisting of 1.5T range extender+motor+battery. At present, the price range of M9 is 469,800 yuan to 569,800 yuan, and the price of M7 is 249,800 yuan to 379,800 yuan. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that the price of M8 is expected to be in the range of 350,000 yuan to 450,000 yuan. If it is in this range, then M8 will compete with ideal L8 or ideal L9, and the competition in the new energy luxury SUV market will be more intense in the next 500,000 years.

2. Intellectual world: Intellectual world S9

Zhijie S9 is the second model after Zhijie S7. It is reported that the car will be launched in the second quarter of 2024. Previously, a lot of camouflage spy photos have been exposed about the car. From the photos, it can be seen that the car is a coupe SUV, which has the style of Tesla Model Y. Specifically, the shape of the front of the car is similar to that of Zhijie S7, which adopts a closed grille design. The upper part of the front of the car is equipped with a 192-line laser radar consistent with Zhijie S7, and will be equipped with Huawei ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving assistance system.　

The side of the car body is a typical coupe SUV posture, and the roof line at the B-pillar position is very smooth. The door handle is of concealed design, the wheel hub painted in black is not small in size, and the internal red calipers are very sporty. Referring to the high-profile model of Zhijie S7, S9 is expected to use Brembo high-performance brake calipers.

The cockpit in the car is similar to that in Zhijie S7. The large-size LCD instrument and the central control screen are clearly visible. The steering wheel is still a compact olive three-position steering wheel consistent with Zhijie S7. There is also a Huawei SOUND audio head in the upper center of the center console. In other respects, the Harmony OS 4.0 system will be installed in the central control screen, providing rich entertainment functions.

In terms of power, Zhijie S9 is expected to be equipped with Huawei’s own motor, but the specific data is still unclear. With reference to Zhijie S7, the maximum power of a single motor after S7 is 215 kW, the front motor of the four-wheel drive version is 150 kW, and the acceleration time of the four-wheel drive version is 3.3 seconds per hour. At present, Zhijie S9 will also focus on sports, so its speed-up ability will not be low, and it is expected to be within 4 seconds. As the second new car of Zhijie brand, Zhijie S9 is expected to be listed in the second quarter of this year at a future price of 250,000 to 350,000 yuan against Model Y. Then we will see what its price will be.

3, STELATO enjoy the world: C-class pure electric smart car

In addition to the intellectual and intellectual circles, the brand of Huawei and BAIC is designated as Stella to enjoy the world. The first model, with its internal code name STELATO X4, is positioned as a C-class pure electric smart car, which will be officially released before the Beijing Auto Show in 2024. Previously, a group of camouflage photos of the car have been exposed on the Internet. From the photos, it can be seen that the car is similar to the intelligent S7. The front of the car has wider vision, the grille of the middle net and the vent of the lower bumper are wider, and there is a lidar device at the top of the front of the car. It is expected to be equipped with Huawei ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving assistance system.

On the side of the car body, you can see that it uses electronic rearview mirrors, hidden door handles and large-size low-drag wheels. The vision of the rear of the car is relatively thick. It is expected to adopt the design of penetrating taillights. The area of the left and right light groups is not small, and the internal structure is similar to that of the S7 taillights in Zhijie. There is no light group function that can support custom display patterns like the M9 in Wenjie. There is no exaggerated diffuser design in the lower bumper position, which is consistent with the positioning of his C-class smart car, with more luxurious administration and less exaggerated sports model.

In the interior part, at present, the interior design of Huawei’s Zhijie S7 and S9 and the car that enjoys the world are basically the same. You can see the olive-shaped three-position steering wheel and the suspended central control large screen, but you can see that the instrument of the car is not a suspended screen, but a traditional design with a sunshade. It is expected that Huawei’s HarmonyOS OS system will remain in the central control screen, and it will provide more intelligent entertainment functions. A large number of leather materials can be seen in seats, door panels and central control handrails, and the luxury and comfort in the car is expected to be relatively good, which is also consistent with the positioning of C-class cars. In terms of price, it has been reported that the price of this car will be in the range of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, which is higher than that of Zhijie S7, and the price is also higher, which will directly affect the BBA luxury brand medium-sized car market in the future.

Previously, according to the relevant announcement issued by Beiqi Blue Valley, Beiqi New Energy will carry out intelligent selection cooperation with Huawei Terminal Co., Ltd., and the first model will be positioned as a high-end intelligent pure electric car. The company upgraded the existing BE22 platform in all directions to build a new generation of high-end pure electric intelligent networked automobile platform of BAIC New Energy. The upgraded BE22 platform products will be produced by Beijing High-end Intelligent Ecological Factory. The upgraded BE22 platform product mentioned in the announcement at that time may be the current C-class sedan, but we will continue to pay attention to more information about this car.

4. Aojie: cars, SUVs and MPVs.

The smart car brand that Huawei cooperates with Jianghuai may be named "Aojie", and the new brand will cover three categories: cars, SUVs and MPVs. According to an industry research report of China Merchants Securities circulating in the market, the first model of the smart car jointly developed by Huawei and Jianghuai is a million-class car with a standard of Maibakh, code X6, which is scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2024.

At present, there is little news about Aojie’s first car. However, from other models under Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing Technology Alliance, it can be guessed that the future Aojie’s first car will also have Huawei’s HarmonyOS OS 4.0 intelligent cockpit, Huawei ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving assistance system, Huawei Turing intelligent chassis, smart car digital platform and Huawei giant whale battery, etc. This million-class car that will bid for Maibakh will be the first million-class product under Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing Alliance. We will continue to pay attention to the news of new models in Aojie.

5. Other news: Sales channel upgrade.

In addition to occupying an advantageous position in technical resources, Huawei HarmonyOS Zhixing can also provide rich sales channels for smart car products with the help of widely distributed Huawei stores, which is unmatched by regular direct stores and dealers’ 4S stores.

Previously, the author saw models such as Wenjie M5, Wenjie M7 and Zhijie S7 in the Huawei authorized experience store of Xihongmen Gathering Center in Beijing. At that time, Wenjie M9 was not listed. However, judging from that store, due to the limited area, it seems that it is impossible to place a larger model M9. In fact, this is also a common problem in many supermarkets such as Huawei authorized experience stores and life museums. Huawei has taken action on this issue.

According to Weibo, the official of HarmonyOS Zhixing, China Post is building a new HarmonyOS Zhixing User Center, which will develop together with the existing AITO Internet User Center managed by Cyrus. In addition, according to relevant investment documents, HarmonyOS Zhixing is open to 78 cities across the country to join the user center, and the services provided by the user center include sales, delivery and after-sales. The user center is divided into S, A, B and C4 levels, and each level has different requirements on area, parking space and capacitance.

The author saw from HarmonyOS Zhixing official website that there are already two HarmonyOS Zhixing user center stores in Beijing, and then tried to place an order from HarmonyOS Zhixing APP to ask for M9 and Zhijie S7 respectively. The pick-up point of Zhijie S7 does not match the AITO authorized user center, but only supports the pick-up point of HarmonyOS Zhixing user center, while all the models of Wenjie support HarmonyOS Zhixing user center and AITO authorized user center to pick up cars.

It is reported that in 2024, the number of HarmonyOS Zhixing stores newly built by Huawei is expected to reach about 800, and it will hit 1,000 in 2025. Therefore, from the above point of view, in the future, Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing cooperative model will have different levels of stores including Huawei Experience Store, Smart Life Museum, AITO Experience Center and HarmonyOS Zhixing User Center to provide strong channel support.

Write it at the end

In 2024, Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing will be a year of concentrated outbreak. From the product point of view, AITO’s brands 5, 7, 8 and 9 will go to war with LI’s L series in an all-round way, and Zhijie S7 will compete with new power cars of the same class and traditional independent brand new energy cars, while Zhijie S9 will target the current sales of new energy SUVs as Tesla Model Y, which will be a more intense battle. STELATO’s brand-new C-class sedan not only has influence in the field of new energy, but will further threaten the traditional luxury brand fuel medium-sized sedan. Although there is not much news about Aojie’s new cars at present, it is enough to earn enough attention by positioning and benchmarking Maibakh at a million levels.

From the perspective of sales channels, further expanding and perfecting the multi-level sales service system will alleviate the current sales and delivery problems of HarmonyOS Zhixing. However, the market environment is changing rapidly, and the traditional independent brands headed by BYD cannot be underestimated. What new cooperative car companies and models will Huawei HarmonyOS Zhixing have in 2024, and what will be the sales volume? Let’s wait and see.
