Don’t say you don’t know me! Three more new car brands have been born

At present, there are several new car brands in the domestic car market. There are "heavy tools" brought by BYD, "sharp tools" brought by Geely, and Meizu is a new cross-border brand. The former two have revealed their lineup and brought many new products, while the latter is still under application, but will soon surface.

BYD Yangwang

The 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, while looking up is BYD’s new high-end product. brand, aiming at the price range of 800,000-1 million or even higher. This is an important step for the BYD brand to "go up".

Appearing together 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 (double 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. This allows each wheel to have its own steering, speed and traction distribution (let's call it four-wheel dynamics), which indicates that the electronic control system can independently control the wheels with a higher degree of freedom and precision, and the resulting functional expansion , Characteristic reconstruction is unimaginable for fuel vehicles with a single power source.

Such as vector four-wheel drive, floating mode, making a U-turn on the spot, fixing a circle in 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 hardcore 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 similar to the load-bearing body. Tang EV is completely different. 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, with the new Galaxy series, new products, and new technologies unveiled. Geely has a strong presence in the new energy market with prices below RMB 150,000, Ji Krypton 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 intelligent 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 A-level to D-level intelligent pure electric products.

Looking at technology beyond the architecture, Galaxy products will be equipped with Geely’s original “Aegis Battery Safety System”, which protects the safety of battery packs, battery modules and other systems through 8-layer shields; the Thor Electric Hybrid 8848 is equipped with The new generation of Thor electric hybrid engine B-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 and 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 in the future; Galaxy NOS is Geely's all-wheel drive vehicle. The distributed operating system developed by Stack 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 a smart electric hybrid SUV and is built based on the world-class e-CMA architecture. Its length, width and height are 4700/1905/1685mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2785mm. It is equipped with the Aegis battery safety system and Thor electric hybrid for the first time. The three major technologies of 8848 and Galaxy N OS are the first low-carbon manufactured smart electric hybrid products. 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 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 reported that Meizu is recruiting car sales positions externally, and offline stores are also being renovated in a high-profile manner, with " FlymeAuto" and other words. All signs show that Meizu is rapidly deploying 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. Perhaps Unbounded Automobile 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.
