2020 is coming to an end. This year's auto market has experienced ups and downs, and finally ushered in a small explosion at the end of the year. However, the total volume may decline slightly compared with last year, which also means that competition in the auto market has further intensified. As an experiencer and witness of the automobile industry, "Daily Talk" follows the practice of previous years to review and inventory the key models that performed well during the year. We comprehensively consider the influence, freshness and sales of the models, and divide them into four major categories: sedans, SUVs, MPVs and new energy vehicles to help consumers provide some meager reference opinions for future car selections. Today I would like to introduce to you the new energy chapter.
1. Hongqi E-HS9 (509,800-729,800 yuan, no sales yet)
As the flagship SUV of the Hongqi brand, E-HS9 is built based on the FME pure electric platform and is positioned as A full-size luxury pure electric SUV. The appearance is highly restored to the Hongqi E115 concept car unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, which vividly interprets Chinese elements and oriental aesthetics. Although the front face is closed, which is common for electric vehicles, it still uses a large-size straight waterfall grille and rich chrome decoration to enhance the atmosphere and high-end image. The front of the car is also equipped with a light strip that has a ceremonial feel when lit, extending through The red trim strip above the cabin cover is Hongqi's iconic decoration. The side of the car body has stretched lines and two-color matching, and the yacht-style rear is also a common style for large luxury cars. The body dimensions are 5209/2010/1713mm in length, width and height respectively, and the wheelbase is 3110mm, reaching the full-size SUV category.
The interior of the carriage uses "luxury" and "avant-garde" as key words. The entire series comes standard with three 16.2-inch "triple screens". The three screens are at the same level and blend naturally with the door panels, creating a strong sense of envelopment. The air-conditioning control area integrated with the gear shifter is also controlled by an LCD screen. Almost all physical buttons are canceled in the cabin. Even the adjustment of the rearview mirror and driving mode requires entering the menu adjustment on the screen. The avant-garde concept even surpasses many New power brand. In addition, the materials used inside the cabin are also very low-cost, with a large amount of leather wrapping, and the embellishment of aluminum alloy trim strips looks very textured. The ambient lights in the shape of dot matrix wings are also very unique. The rear seats of the top-of-the-line four-seater car are no less impressive than the first-class seats. They are also fully touch-controlled and have two entertainment screens. There are as many as seven screens in the car.
In terms of power, the entire Hongqi E-HS9 series is equipped with a permanent magnet/synchronous dual motor system, which is divided into low/high power versions. The former has a comprehensive power of 320kW (435Ps), a comprehensive maximum torque of 600Nm, 0 -100km/h acceleration time is 6.5 seconds; the latter has a comprehensive power of 405kW (551Ps), a comprehensive maximum torque of up to 750Nm, and 0-100km/h acceleration time of only 5 seconds. In terms of battery life, it uses ternary lithium batteries with two energies of 84kWh and 99kWh, corresponding to NEDC comprehensive cruising ranges of 460km and 510km respectively. In terms of chassis, it adopts a front double-wishbone independent + rear multi-link independent suspension combination. High-end models are equipped with air suspension, which supports height and soft and hard adjustment. All are dual-motor four-wheel drive layouts.
Microtalk:
It is hard to imagine that Hongqi E-HS9 was made by a state-owned enterprise, and it is a central enterprise with a well-established reputation. The appearance and interior are grand and luxurious as they should be, but it is so advanced in electronic systems and human-computer interaction that it will make some new car-making forces feel inferior, which is commendable. We are very happy to see a product like E-HS9 that cheers up the Chinese people. Although it is not a mass-market product, it can obviously enhance the awareness of Chinese brands.
2. BYD Han (219,800-279,500 yuan, sales volume in November: 10,105 units)
BYD Han is the only one of the eight models this time to launch EV and DM new energy power version, the car is based on the concept car of the e-SEED GT concept car that was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2019.

The Han EV was once an internet celebrity this year, not only because of its coupe-like styling, but also because the high-performance version can accelerate from 0 to 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. In addition, the interior materials of this car are really luxurious and the workmanship is relatively sophisticated, which is completely worthy of its high price. This car was affected by the battery in the early stage, and the cycle from ordering to delivery was long. In recent months, the production capacity has gradually increased, and the sales volume has gradually stabilized. In November, the sales volume also successfully exceeded 10,000, achieving the results expected by BYD.

As an extended-range electric vehicle, Ideal ONE is unique in the field of new energy. This car is positioned as a medium to large SUV and is divided into 6/7-seater versions. The appearance is tough, creating a sense of fashion and domineering. The front face is equipped with a large-sized grille, the headlights are relatively flat, and the upper LED daytime running lights run through the entire front of the car.

The body dimensions are 5020/1960/1760mm in length, width and height respectively, and the wheelbase is 2935mm.

Micro Talk:
Among the new car-making forces, Ideal ONE is very different. The extended-range electric model can reassure some users with range anxiety and actually solves the cost of electric vehicles. Too high a problem. Based on the current price of about 1,000 yuan per kWh, it saves 40kWh of energy, which is equivalent to saving 40,000 yuan in vehicle manufacturing costs. The cost of a 1.2T engine is several thousand yuan at most. This car also has its own characteristics in terms of human-computer interaction, and the driving assistance system has reached L2 level. However, with the new car-making forces generally performing well, Ideal obviously needs to work harder.
