[car home New Energy] The long-overdue Beijing Auto Show will finally meet with you. The 2020 Beijing Auto Show will coincide with the National Day Holiday for several days. I believe that friends who love cars will be excited at home. This year’s Beijing Auto Show, whether it is the heavyweight index of new cars or the enthusiasm of everyone, will definitely be different from the previous ones. Many small partners hold the new energy license index but don’t know what car to choose. They also take this opportunity to focus on new cars and provide some reference for buying vehicles. However, the nightmare of running a broken leg at the auto show every year still exists, so we sort out a guide to the exhibition and guide some new energy heavy new cars so that you won’t get lost in the exhibition.
● Heavy new energy vehicles in Hall E1: Pentium E01, (|)
Pavilion E1 is a collection of China brands, new car-making forces and luxury car brands. Although there are not many brand-new new energy vehicles, they all shoulder the heavy responsibility of "expanding the territory" of the brand, including E01 from FAW Pentium and Gaohe HiPhi X from new car-making forces.
○ Pentium E01: Virtual Character Voice Assistant and Its Rich Configuration
Pentium E01 is the first product of Pentium brand new energy E series, and it is also the pioneering work of Pentium’s impact on the electric vehicle market. The new car is positioned as a medium-sized pure electric SUV, which started blind ordering on August 12 and will be officially listed at the Beijing Auto Show.
Personally, I think the biggest highlight of the new car is the interior of the car, which is equipped with double 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and multimedia screen. The center console is equipped with Pentium’s iconic virtual character voice assistant, and there are many cartoon images to choose from. This makes the interior of the new car full of technology. In terms of configuration, the A-pillar of the new car is equipped with an infrared camera, which can detect the driver’s condition in real time and trigger the corresponding functions. In addition, steep slope descent, ESC system, trunk opening and closing, car networking, voice interaction, car application function expansion and so on are also equipped.
In terms of power, Pentium E01 will be equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 190Ps and a maximum torque of 320 N m. The capacity of ternary lithium battery is 61.34kWh and the cruising range of NEDC is 450km. Judging from the static product strength, the performance of Pentium E01 is above the mainstream level, and many popular elements are added. The configuration is also rich and practical. The positioning of medium-sized SUV also meets the needs of family travel. As long as the price of Pentium E01 is right, it can still reap a wave of sales.
○ Gaohe HiPhi X: cool door opening methods such as opening doors and spreading wings.
The new car is located in a medium and large SUV. From the design of the exterior interior, the originality of the new car is high. The biggest highlight of the car comes from its all-electric NT flapping door system. The six doors of the whole car can be combined into door opening modes such as door opening in pairs and wing opening. It is reported that the car has completely abandoned the traditional mechanical lock cylinder and created a contactless door opening method through the body control computing platform. The interior of Gaohe HiPhi X is also unconventional. The seats in the car are asymmetrical, the second row of seats are relatively independent, and equipped with electric leg rests and handrails to ensure the comfort of riding. The second row and front row seats are equipped with functions such as seat memory, heating, ventilation and backrest massage.
In terms of power, the official acceleration of the new car at 0-100km/h is 3.9 seconds, the drag coefficient of the whole car reaches 0.27Cd, and the cruising range is 610km. As a new force to build a car in the late stage, Gaohe HiPhi X is really embarrassed to make a sound without a gimmick. The door opening+gull wing door, the highly electronic structure of the whole car and various black technology configurations make it quite topical, and many people think it is the prototype of future travel tools. However, having said that, whether the final consumer recognizes it is the most critical, and whether it can lead the new wave of electric vehicles, let us wait and see.
● Heavy new energy vehicles in Hall E2: Qoros Milestone concept car, Roewe RX5EPPlus.
There are many China brands in Hall E2, among which Qoros, which has not been heard for a long time, has brought the latest concept car Milestone, and SAIC Roewe will have RX5EPPlus.
○ Qoros Milestone concept car: brand-new model, brand-new departure
The concept car named Milestone means "milestone". At present, it is still in a mysterious state, but from the preview, the concept car has created a sense of the future of the mecha, and the door opening method is also a sliding design, which is full of ceremony.
A few years ago, Qoros also launched a new energy concept car, but so far no mass production products have been launched. Now the new energy market is in full swing. I believe that the first new energy car of Qoros will meet us soon. As for this concept car, it is more about carrying the latest technology and future vision of Guanzhi, and it also represents a brand-new departure for Guanzhi. I hope that this time it will be phoenix nirvana and fly high.
○ Roewe RX5EPPlus: Providing more choices for consumers
Roewe launched the Roewe RX5 PLUS plug-in hybrid vehicle during the Beijing Auto Show. Positioning a compact SUV, it has a good mass base, and naturally there is nothing to say about its value. The most important thing is that it is equipped with the latest zebra VENUS system, with AI intelligent voice assistant, car home interconnection, long video playback, Alipay applet, day/night mode, children’s smart bracelet interconnection and other functions, and the configuration level is high.
The powertrain of the new car is composed of a 1.5T four-cylinder engine+a permanent magnet synchronous motor and an EDU intelligent electric drive gearbox. The comprehensive power of this powertrain is about 305 HP (224kW), and the comprehensive peak torque of the system is 480 N m.. The new car battery pack has a capacity of 11.1kWh, and the official cruising range of pure electricity is 70km. The positioning of the new car is relatively clear, and it is prepared for the younger generation of trendsetters and new families of three or four. Its listing gives consumers more choices and enriches Roewe’s product matrix in this market segment.
● Heavy new energy vehicles in E3 Hall: Audi Q4 e-tron concept car, Hongqi E-HS9, Great Wall cannon EV, Toyota brand-new Mirai.
There are many heavy new cars in the E3 Pavilion, which is highly competitive, from the concept of compact pure electric SUV Audi Q4 e-tron to the red flag E-HS9 of large pure electric SUV, to the electric pickup truck Great Wall cannon EV, and even the new Mirai of Toyota, a hydrogen fuel cell model.
○ Audi Q4 e-tron concept car: "Big Brother" is finally going to shoot.
Audi can be said to be a heavy blow in the field of new energy this time. The Audi Q4 e-tron concept car and the Audi e-tron Sportback are the first domestic appearances, while the domestic Audi e-tron is the first time to meet the public.
Audi Q4 e-tron concept car is Audi’s first electric vehicle built on MEB platform, and its overall size is between Audi Q3 and Q5. At present, the concept car is full of futuristic electric design language, and it also combines Audi’s classic family-style design elements such as hexagonal grille and headlight shape.
In fact, in the luxury electric vehicle market, consumers don’t have many choices. Even if Audi e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC are listed, there are still only a handful. With the continuous development of new energy supporting industries, consumers’ acceptance has deepened, and the pure electric vehicle market has gradually entered a mature stage. Luxury brands such as Audi are ready to start to exert their strength and deepen this market segment. At that time, the speed and strength of new products are believed to be not too bad. It seems that the "big brother" is finally going to shoot.
○ Red Flag E-HS9: The configuration is luxurious and powerful.
Hongqi E-HS9 will be unveiled at this auto show. This new car is positioned in a large pure electric SUV with 460km and 510km cruising range (NEDC standard) versions. The car follows the product concept of "Chinese New Noble Exquisiteness" and the design philosophy of "Shang Zhi Yi" of Hongqi, and it has a solemn feeling of not being angry and arrogant. The logo of the red flag above the front of the new car is the crowning touch, indicating its identity.
The configuration part is also in line with the positioning of the car, and the details are decorated with elements such as leather, solid wood, chrome plating and piano paint, which enhances the visual layering and advanced feeling. In terms of seats, the new car provides 18-way electric adjustable seats, and the second row of seats can support universal, heating, massage and semi-lying functions. As a large-scale pure electric SUV, Hongqi E-HS9 has few rivals in the market. The 2.8-meter gas field and luxurious interior atmosphere create its powerful momentum, and the intelligent configuration makes it more in line with the current trend of intelligent vehicles. Slightly different from other models, this car is more used to emphasize the brand tone and set a benchmark. As for the price that is close to the people, it can be ranked second for the time being.
○ Great Wall Gun EV: Tesla Cybertruck can’t wait until we have our own electric pickup truck.
"2020 Great Wall Gun"
Great Wall pickup truck will also bring a new energy vehicle-Great Wall Gun EV at this Beijing Auto Show, further enriching the product camp of Great Wall Gun. This model is equipped with coaxial integrated electronic drive axle, with motor power of 150kW, torque of 300N·m and cruising range of 405km.
As far as China is concerned, the market of pure electric pickups is relatively small, but it still has the advantages of low energy consumption cost and simple after-sales, which is also the reason why foreign consumers are enthusiastic about electric pickups. It is reported that the Great Wall pickup truck will release the globalization strategy, which means that the Great Wall Gun EV may be exported to other countries, which will accelerate the globalization process of the Great Wall Gun and provide a stepping stone for achieving brand advancement.
○ Toyota’s new generation Mirai: Hydrogenation for two minutes, continuing "life" for 100 kilometers.
Toyota’s new generation Mirai will be officially unveiled at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. As a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle owned by Toyota, the concept version of the second-generation Toyota Mirai was officially launched at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2019, and the official production version of the car was officially released in early 2020, so it is not excluded that the concept version of Toyota Mirai will officially meet the public at this Beijing Auto Show.
The overall body shape of the new generation Mirai has changed greatly. The chassis from Lexus GS makes its body more slender, and the long front engine compartment cover is in sharp contrast with the sliding back shape and roof, giving the new car a unique visual effect. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell power system, and the official said that it will have a cruising range of more than 600km.
Due to various reasons such as supporting facilities, the new generation Mirai will not be listed in China in the short term, but its convenient way of replenishing energy still points out the direction for us to develop other types of new energy products, and we can also learn from some experiences. I believe that there will be more and more hydrogen fuel cell models in China in the coming year.
● Heavy new energy vehicles in Hall E4: Weimar Maven concept car and BEIJING RADIANCE concept car.
The heavy new cars in Hall E4 are all concept cars and all are pure electric cars, namely Maven concept car from Weimar and RADIANCE concept car from BEIJING brand.
○ Weimar Maven concept car: a chariot from the future
Weimar Maven concept car is a concept car released by Yunyun in May this year, and it is also the first pure electric car under Weimar Automobile. The appearance of the new car adopts a very avant-garde design language, NEDC cruising range will reach 800km, and it has L4-level automatic driving capability and 5G interconnection technology.
This is also Weimar’s third mass production model. Since Weimar’s previous models are SUVs and Maven’s concept is a pure electric car, the new car will be built on a brand-new platform. Judging from the current preview, this model has both models and models, and its concept is avant-garde. At present, the only question is, when will it be mass-produced?
○BEIJING RADIANCE concept car: the flagship electric car under the BEIJING brand.
Seen from the displayed side, the BEIJING RADIANCE concept car has smooth lines, and a chrome-plated decorative strip extends from the A-pillar to the C-pillar, which is very high-grade. The official said that it will use the design method of "mostly beautiful" to create its internal and external modeling. In addition, it will also be equipped with an L4-class autopilot system, with a pure electric cruising range of 800km.
After the release of BEIJING brand last year, BEIJING brand intends to integrate resources and prepare for a heavy attack. RADIANCE concept car must be a part of its series of actions, and it is also a concentrated display of the brand’s technology and brand power. As for what it looks like, please go to the scene to see it again.
● Heavy new energy vehicles in Hall W1: Lantiu’s first mass production concept car and Honda’s brand-new electric concept car.
The heavy new energy vehicles in Hall W1 are all in the concept car stage. Lantu’s first mass-produced concept car is of great significance to its brand-new brand, while Honda’s brand-new electric concept car is the world’s first appearance, and it is also a pure electric vehicle specially built for the China market.
○ Lantiu’s first mass production concept car: fierce and domineering appearance.
Lantu brand was officially announced in July this year, and it is a brand-new new energy brand under Dongfeng Motor Group. Lantu brand has planned 9 models, covering many market segments such as SUV and MPV. The first model is planned to be put into production in 2021, and this concept car is the conceptual version of the first production model.
The first new car has a strong inclination, especially the shape of the front and the lines on the cabin cover, which looks more fierce and domineering as a whole. The car is positioned as a pure electric SUV, and the current competition in this market segment has become fierce. In 2021, the competition in this market will be more exciting. It is really unknown whether it can gain a foothold and make a good shot for the brand.
○ Honda’s brand-new electric concept car: the first Honda brand pure electric concept car to be launched in China market in the future.
Honda, who is also in the same exhibition hall, is also taking the drastic route. This auto show of Honda brought the first Honda brand pure electric concept car to be put into the China market in the future. Although many netizens of the retro and lovely Honda E shouted "Buy as soon as you enter", Honda told us this time with a brand-new concept car that I just want to take the usual road.
●W2 Hall heavy new energy vehicles: Nissan Ariya, Ford Mustang Mach-E,
There are also many new cars in Hall W2. Nissan Ariya, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Polestar Polar Star Precept concept car are all new cars of great significance to the brand.
○ Nissan Ariya: a masterpiece with many years of technology.
Nissan brought a pure electric crossover SUV, Nissan Ariya, at the Beijing Auto Show. This new car also made its debut in China. According to the plan, Ariya will be sold in the Japanese market in mid-2021, and will be sold in Europe, North America and China in late 2021.
Nissan’s electric vehicles also have a broad mass base, and reliable battery technology and product strength have always been the trump card of the brand. Ariya, a new car, has brought a brand-new design concept, a more fashionable design and intelligent configuration, which gives people a surprise. The technical precipitation of electric vehicles produced by Nissan for so many years will also be displayed on this car, which is equipped with e-4ORCE dual-motor four-wheel drive control technology and two batteries with different capacities. Nissan will also build a new electric kingdom with Ariya as the new cornerstone.
○ Ford Mustang Mach-E: Can the electric Mustang shock you?
Although Ford Mustang Mach-E has been listed in overseas markets, it has never appeared in China. This Beijing Auto Show is an opportunity to show it. After being electrified, Mustang is ambitious and has launched many versions. The top GT long-life all-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 465Ps, a maximum torque of 830N·m and a cruising range of 370-480km under EPA conditions.
Judging from the core data, Mach-E has strong strength, long endurance and good dynamic performance, and is a new choice for staying at home instead of walking and occasional outing. China is the largest new energy market in the world at present, and the introduction of Mach-E is certain, so would you choose such a car with style, style and face?
●WHeavy new energy vehicles in Hall 3: Nezha V/Eureka 03, Cadillac LYRIQ, Lexus LF-30 concept car and Polestar polar star Precept concept car.
There are many heavy new energy vehicles in W3 Hall, mainly focusing on the contest between the new car-making forces and traditional luxury brands. Nezha Automobile brought Nezha V and Eureka 03 concept cars, while Cadillac has LYRIQ, Lexus LF-30 concept cars and Polestar polar star Precept concept cars for the first time in China.
○ Nezha V/ Eureka 03: Two new cars in, covering a wide range of market segments.
Nezha V is the third mass-produced model of Nezha Automobile, with the length, width and height of 4070/1690/1540mm respectively and the wheelbase of 2420mm, which is positioned in a small SUV. In terms of configuration, Nezha V will be equipped with 13.3-inch suspended central control panel, in-vehicle vital signs monitoring system, lane departure warning, forward collision warning and other configurations, and its NEDC comprehensive working condition cruising range is 401 kilometers, which is also a new car with target walking volume.
In addition, the Nezha Eureka 03 concept car will also be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, positioned as a coupe, and its production version is expected to be officially unveiled in 2021. So far, Nezha Auto has completed the product layout in the market segments of mini-electric vehicles, small electric SUVs and compact electric SUVs, and with this car, the product coverage of the models is wider. In terms of the speed of new car launch, Nezha can be said to be very fast, and the scale effect may be exerted, and the advantage of product cost performance may be more prominent.
○ Cadillac LYRIQ: the first pure electric vehicle product, which is forward-looking.
General Motors released a number of important information about new energy sources this year, such as a brand-new platform and battery system, which also indicates that the electrification pace of its major brands will make great strides forward. Cadillac will also make its debut at the Beijing Auto Show. The car was born on a pure electric platform and will be put into mass production in 2022.
At present, Cadillac has no mass-produced pure electric products. LYRIQ, as the "vanguard" of the brand attacking the pure electric market, has been placed great expectations. This can also be seen from the appearance, interior design and material configuration, keeping up with the trend of the times while retaining brand elements. It’s just that the production model will wait until after 2022, and interested friends need to wait patiently.
○ Lexus LF-30 Concept Car: Soldiers from the Future
Different from Cadillac LYRIQ, the concept car of Lexus is full of the feeling of the future cockpit. This time, the concept car of Lexus LF-30 is also unveiled in China for the first time. The "30" in the car name represents the 30th anniversary of the brand’s establishment. The exaggerated and sci-fi design is amazing. The internal cockpit is based on the concept of "Tazuna", and the steering wheel control button cooperates with the head-up display to realize simple and intuitive operation.
In terms of power, the new car adopts pure electric power system, which is driven by independent motors on wheels. The maximum power of the system is 400kW(544 HP), the peak torque is 700 Nm, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 3.8 seconds. The design of this future-oriented concept car shows us that it is unlikely to be mass-produced, but this does not prevent us from enjoying it. If Lexus models are so sharp in the future, it will be an exciting thing.
○Polestar Polar Star Precept concept car: luxurious, restrained and classy.
At the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, Precept, a concept car owned by Polestar Polar Star, was officially unveiled. The car was also released on the online cloud. Although it is a concept car, it does not have many unconstrained designs, showing a very "restrained" design concept. If we can sum up this concept car in a few words, I think it should be cold, advanced and environmentally friendly.
As a brand-new brand, Polestar Polar Star has a relatively small popularity compared with traditional car companies, but it has not enough traffic impact compared with the new car-making forces. Although there are already two models on sale at present, the volume of sound on the consumer side is still a little small. In this era when the fragrance of wine is afraid of the depth of the alley, how to do a good job in marketing and successfully get out of the circle is the proposition of Polestar Polar Star in the future.
●W4 Hall’s heavy new energy vehicles: Volkswagen ID.4, LinkZERO CONCEPT
The new energy vehicles in the W4 Hall are all expected, and Volkswagen ID.4 ushered in the first launch, the first electric vehicle of the Lexus brand.LingkeZERO CONCEPT will also face the audience for the first time.
○ Volkswagen ID.4: The long-awaited new car, the world premiere.
Volkswagen ID series models will be launched one after another this year, and ID.4, which locates a compact pure electric SUV, will make its world debut at the Beijing Auto Show, and this model will also be mass-produced in SAIC Volkswagen/FAW-Volkswagen. It is reported that the new car will have two power versions, with a cruising range of 500 kilometers under the European WLTP test standard.
Although domestic SAIC-Volkswagen/FAW-Volkswagen have electric vehicle products for sale, none of them really started from electric vehicles and were born on pure electric platforms from the beginning of research and development, so ID.4 was placed with high hopes. The design of cross-border coupe SUV and the blessing of Volkswagen MEB platform make this new car attract great attention before it is listed, and the domestic ID.4 can also maintain a certain competitive advantage. Volkswagen estimates that it wants to focus on this car and make efforts in the electric vehicle market in the next few years.
○ LingkeZERO CONCEPT: the first electric car, young sports are about to tide.
When all major brands have launched electric vehicles, Lectra naturally cannot lag behind. During this Beijing Auto Show, Lectra’s first pure electric vehicle, ZERO CONCEPT, will be officially unveiled. Based on the brand-new SEA vast architecture, the car is positioned in a medium-sized car with a wheelbase of 2999mm and a cruising range of NEDC over 700km. The new car will be officially launched in 2021.
This new car will be the model that Lectra sets the benchmark for brand electric vehicles, and still continues Lectra’s family-oriented design style, iconic split headlights, slip-back design, sporty design elements and so on. In terms of trend and youthfulness, the Lexus brand has been doing well. It seems that Lexus wants to extend its advantages in this respect to electric vehicles, and consumers who are pursuing sports and fashion trends can pay attention to this model.
Full text summary:
As can be seen from this strategy, there are quite a few new energy vehicles at the Beijing Auto Show, and some characteristics are presented: all brands are actively promoting pure electric vehicles, and electrification transformation is imperative. The concept car representing the future design concept is not too unconstrained, and it is more a new car oriented to market sales. From the consumer’s point of view, these changes are all positive, with less gimmicks and more real new cars, which also shows that the new energy market, even the pure electric vehicle market, is becoming more and more mature and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. Who will become the new hegemon in the next decade is unknown. (Text/Figure car home Jiang Tianshuang)
