The time pointer for 2023 will reach March. The domestic automobile market has added several new car brands, including the "important tools" brought by BYD and the "sharp tools" brought by Geely. ”, as well as the new brand created by Meizu across borders. The former two have revealed their lineup and brought many new products, while the latter is still under application, but will soon surface.

●BYD’s Yangwang brand was actually first released in early November last year, and it was not until January this year that it was officially unveiled with its products and technologies. After saying goodbye to fuel vehicles completely, BYD used the Dynasty series and Ocean King series to enter the market with a price below 300,000 yuan, and used Denza as a player to hit the price range of 300,000-500,000 yuan. Upsight is BYD's new high-end brand, targeting the 80-100 yuan price range. With a price range of 10,000 yuan or higher, this is an important step for the BYD brand to "go up".

Also appearing with the Yangwang brand is the core technology of "Yisifang", which is also the basic knowledge for us to understand Yangwang products. The platform uses four independent motors (dual motors on the front axle form one assembly, and dual motors on the rear axle form one assembly) to drive the four wheels respectively through reducers, half shafts, and universal joints, so that each wheel will have The respective steering, speed and traction distribution (tentatively referred to as four-wheel dynamics), this indicates that the electronic control system can independently control the wheels with a higher degree of freedom and precision. The resulting function expansion and feature reconstruction are a single The power source of a fuel vehicle is unimaginable. Such as vector four-wheel drive, floating mode, making a U-turn on the spot, setting a circle on ice and snow, downhill in the desert, and continuing to drive with a flat tire (120km/h), etc., are all "novel functions" it can achieve.

As for the products, what is currently known is the first million-level new energy hardcore off-road vehicle - U8, and the first million-level pure electric performance supercar - U9.

Looking up at the U8, it is a hard-core off-road vehicle based on a non-load-bearing body. Its length reaches 5300mm and its wheelbase is 3050mm. It has a very powerful aura. We can see from the chassis structure that the dual motor modules located on the front and rear axles and the blade batteries located on the chassis are directly installed on the longitudinal beams. This is completely different from the Tang EV with a load-bearing body. thing. Moreover, compared with traditional hard-core off-road vehicles, the U8 that uses Yi Sifang's technology platform is undoubtedly disruptive in terms of travel experience, which will give users more confidence when facing various scenarios on paved and non-paved roads. , its 0-100km/h acceleration performance is within 3 seconds.

Looking up at U9, as a pure electric four-wheel drive supercar, vector four-wheel drive can be achieved by precisely controlling the left and right wheel motors. Even without a steering system, vector steering can be achieved through the motor. After all, you can make a U-turn on the spot, and vector steering is a basic operation. It can even achieve a braking distance of less than 40m from 100 kilometers and an agile steering capability of less than 12m when the steering gear and brakes are not working. You can understand it as the "engine braking technology" on new energy vehicles. It is reported that the car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 2 seconds and is expected to be launched within the year, with a price of one million.

●Geely Galaxy

On February 23, Geely’s new mid-to-high-end new energy series—Geely Galaxy New Energy Strategy was officially released, and the new Galaxy series, new products, and new technologies were unveiled. . Geely has a strong presence in the new energy market with prices below RMB 150,000, Jikrypton focuses on the high-end market with prices above RMB 300,000, and Galaxy comes to strengthen the coverage of the market with prices between RMB 150,000 and RMB 300,000.

As a new mid-to-high-end new energy series of the Geely brand, Geely Galaxy has adopted a new logo and will launch 7 products within 2 years, 4 of which belong to the smart electric hybrid L series, the first electric hybrid SUV The Galaxy L7 and Galaxy L6, the first electric hybrid sedan, will be delivered in the second and third quarters of this year respectively; the other three models belong to the smart pure electric E series, and the first pure electric product E8 will be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year.

Galaxy products have two major series, and naturally also have two major architectures. The intelligent electric hybrid L series adopts Geely Galaxy’s intelligent “electric hybrid” architecture, covering A0 to B-class intelligent electric hybrid products; the intelligent pure electric hybrid product The Electric E series adopts Geely Galaxy’s intelligent “pure electric” architecture and covers Class A to Class D intelligent pure electric products.

Looking at technology beyond the architecture, Galaxy products will be equipped with Geely’s original “Aegis Battery Safety System”, which uses 8 layers of shields to ensure the safety of battery packs, battery modules and other systems; the new-generation Thor Electric Hybrid Engine B installed on the Thor Electric Hybrid 8848 -Plus has achieved a mass production peak thermal efficiency of 44.26% (the next generation thermal efficiency may exceed 46%). It is also the world's first smart electric drive to realize P1+P2 dual motor overclocking drive. The combined power of the two drives reaches 287kW. A super-performance version with a combined power of 488kW will be released later; Galaxy N OS is a full-stack self-developed distribution by Geely. An operating system that creates a more private and immersive experience with millisecond response for users.

Geely Galaxy is very generous in terms of products. It has announced more new cars than you can count in one hand. The first product we will welcome is the Galaxy L7. It is positioned as an intelligent electric hybrid SUV and is built based on the world-class e-CMA architecture. The length, width and height are 4700/1905/1685mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2785mm. It is the first to be equipped with the Aegis battery safety system, Thor electric hybrid 8848 and Galaxy N OS. Blockbuster technology, it is the first smart electric hybrid product made with low carbon. Official data shows that the car accelerates from 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds, consumes only 5.23L/100km of electricity, and has a CLTC comprehensive cruising range of 1,370km.

The design of this car is a bit like Boyue L. It focuses on the 200,000-class market segment, and a pure electric version will be available in the future. It is reported that the Galaxy L7 will be launched and delivered in the second quarter of this year.

●Unbounded Cars

On January 28, 2023, Zhuhai Meizu Technology Co., Ltd. applied for registration of 2 "Unbounded Cars" trademarks. The international classification is transportation means. The current trademark The status is Applying. Many people are speculating that Meizu will personally build cars.

However, Chery New Energy already has the Unbounded Pro on sale. After Meizu launches the Unbounded car, people may be confused and confused.

Meizu’s move to cross-border car manufacturing is still very obvious. Previously, Meizu launched the FlymeAuto car system. The biggest highlight of this system is to solve the problem of low space utilization of the Dock bar on the car screen. It is said that Meizu's car sales channels are also in full swing. Many media reports claim that Meizu is recruiting for car sales positions, and offline stores are also being renovated in a high-profile manner, with words such as "FlymeAuto" printed on the outside. All signs show that Meizu is rapidly developing its automotive business.

Furthermore, test spy photos of Meizu Unjie’s first model have also been circulated. This car is covered with camouflage stickers, but it can be seen that it adopts a mainstream SUV design. The overall style is relatively simple, with the Unbounded logo affixed to the front and rear license plates.

According to existing news, Wujie’s first model will be built based on the CMA architecture and will be positioned as a medium-sized SUV. The estimated price is between 200,000 and 300,000. Details such as three-electric configuration have not yet been disclosed. The 200,000-300,000 class is indeed a hot market at the moment, but for the new cross-border car manufacturing forces, this price is not cheap, and it may not be able to successfully open the market.

Meizu was acquired by Geely last year, and the senior vice president of Geely Automobile once stated that Meizu does not build cars but only provides services to car companies. Maybe Unbounded Auto is not a direct result of Meizu's car manufacturing, or it is a part of Geely's new energy strategy, because Meizu does not have the qualifications and conditions to build cars, but it must have a close connection with Meizu.
