Audi 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show lineup announced, including two concept cars

Audi officially announced that it will host the Audi brand night on November 17th, and will showcase two concept cars, the Audi skysphere and grandsphere, as well as the Q4 e-tron, Q4 e-tron portback and Q5 e-tron in mass production. vehicle.

Let's put the two concept cars aside first, let's take a look at the Q4 e-tron and Q5 e-tron first. Both vehicles use the MEB platform, which can be regarded as Audi versions of ID.4 and ID.6.

Q4 e-tron will have three power versions: 35/40 e-tron and 50 e-tron quattro.

Among them, the 35/40 e-tron adopts a single-motor rear-drive layout, with maximum power of 170 horsepower and 204 horsepower, respectively. The WLTP comprehensive range is 349km and 528km respectively; the 50 e-tron quattro with a dual-motor four-wheel drive layout has 299 horsepower and 497km. The mileage.

The Q5 e-tron will also provide three different power models. The power performance is comparable to that of the Q4 e-tron, and the cruising range is slightly longer, 420km, 520km, and 560km.

The above models will be unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show on the 19th of this month, as well as the A8L Horch just released.

The new BMW iX will be launched soon, and the i4 will also be on the Guangzhou Auto Show

In addition to Audi, the BMW booth was also the highlight of the Guangzhou Auto Show.

According to official sources, the BMW iX will be officially launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show. As a product that adopts the brand-new design language of BMW's electrification era, its shape may be slightly different from the BMW in our impression.

The interior also uses a dual-screen design, with a built-in iDrive 8.0 car-machine system, which is this polygonal steering wheel, which Dong Chejun is a little bit confused.

The BMW i4 is based on the CLAR pure electric platform, and its appearance is similar to that of the fuel version 4 series.

You can also find dual screens inside it, but in addition, the car interior still continues the design ideas of the current model, and the shape is more traditional.

If you have a car that you are more concerned about, you can leave a message to tell Dong Chejun, and we will bring you the first report at the venue.

Lotus' first electric SUV is about to be born, teaser picture released

Lotus officials recently released a preview of their first electric SUV, showing the active grille of the new car.

It is understood that the internal code of the new car is TYPE 132, which will be unveiled next year and delivered in 2023.

According to Lotus executives, the new car will be built based on a new pure electric architecture, equipped with a 92-120kWh battery pack and an 800V high-voltage charging system, and accelerates from 100 kilometers to about 3 seconds.

Dong Chejun is most interested in Emira (manual dog head).

Hengchi 5LX login to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology application catalog

In the 350th batch of declaration catalogue issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we can see the declaration picture of the Hengchi 5, the first model of Nengchi. According to previous information, the new NEDC has a battery life of over 700km.

In terms of appearance, the new car uses a split car design, and the China Open also uses a fully enclosed design. The front face looks good.

The tail does not use a through-type taillight design, but there is a chrome-plated decoration between the taillights, and the overall design of the tail is also rounded, similar to the front of the car.

The length, width, and height of the new car are 4725*1925*1676mm, and the wheelbase is 2780mm. It will be equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 150kW and a lithium iron phosphate battery from the Ningde era. (New trip)

Finally saw the real car, but… Hechuang 007 has a sense of sight.

2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be launched, and the overall price will be lowered

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is now on the market. Compared with current models, the biggest difference is that it has reduced prices.

Except for the lowest price remaining unchanged, the prices of other models have been reduced to varying degrees.

Among them, the price of the S400 L luxury model has been lowered by 45,900 yuan, and the current sale is 1.0389 million yuan; the price of the top model S500 L 4MATIC has been lowered by 57,100 yuan to only 178.17 yuan.

But the price is not in vain.

Previously, the standard in-vehicle air conditioning components of the entire series and the MBUX rear entertainment system on high-end models have become optional equipment. I think this can be regarded as a helpless move under the background of "core shortage".

In terms of appearance and power, the new S-class is no different from the old one. It is still equipped with two in-line 6-cylinder engines of 2.5T/3.0T, and is equipped with a 48V light hybrid system.

The price is reduced, buy it?

Tank 500 will start pre-sale at Guangzhou Auto Show

The pre-sale of the Tank 500 will also start.

The new car is positioned as a medium and large luxury off-road SUV, and maintains the consistent hardcore SUV style of the tank family in appearance. The front face adopts a large number of thick silver trims, and the LED lights with sharp edges on both sides are very tough.

Unlike the tank 300, the interior is heavily decorated with leather and wood grain veneers, and the sense of quality is significantly improved. The new car provides LCD instrumentation, large-size central control screen and three-frame multi-function steering wheel, etc. There is no lack of a sense of science and technology in the luxury.

The new car will be equipped with a 3.0T engine and 9AT gearbox independently developed by Great Wall Motors, with a maximum power of 348 horsepower and a peak torque of 500N·m.

The book data is pretty good. It is said that the fuel consumption is a bit high, and you have to look at the actual performance.

Today's topic: What to buy on "Double Eleven"?

Yesterday Dong Chejun asked everyone for their opinions: What is the most useless function on the car?

Basically everyone voted for "automatic start and stop", @Sup.fly. Li even expressed willingness to spend money to remove this feature.

Indeed, the "automatic start-stop" thing is also turned off by Dong Chejun when he gets on the car. Apart from this, I think it is also uncomfortable to have no physical temperature control knob. Those who feel the same give a claw.

"Double Eleven" is coming soon. Are you ready to add some gadgets to your car?

If there is something interesting, fun and useful, please share it with everyone and add it to the shopping cart tonight, hehe.
