◆ BYD Qin l
After watching Xiaomi SU7, let’s take a look at BYD Qin L, which is a very hot new energy car at this auto show. As a brand-new model of this brand, with the listing of this car in the future, it will form a two-car pattern with Qin PLUS to meet the needs of different users. The new car adopts the "New Country Tide and Beauty Aesthetics", and the interior of the large-size front grille is supplemented with dot-matrix elements for makeup, with outstanding visual effects. At the same time, the headlight group is narrow and sharp, which is highly integrated with the luminous "dragon beard" on the top. The integrated design not only makes the dragon face more stereoscopic, but also magnifies the horizontal visual effect of the front face.
From the side of the car body, its waistline runs through the front fender to the back door, which makes the car body more slender. With the concave rib line under the door, it creates a three-dimensional cutting effect and highlights the sense of strength of the whole car. At the same time, it adopts a slip-back design, showing a "low-lying" posture and being younger. On the tail side, the wide back shoulder design not only echoes the front face, but also increases the muscular feeling of the body contour. At the same time, the car uses a penetrating taillight shape, inspired by Chinese knots, and the recognition is full. In terms of vehicle size, its length, width and height are 4830/1900/1495mm and its wheelbase is 2790mm respectively.
As for the interior, Qin L’s interior design is inspired by China landscape painting. The agility of oriental landscape and modern technology are combined to create a "landscape painting cockpit" with elegant style. Specifically, the new car uses an embedded large-size LCD instrument with an iconic rotatable central control panel, which makes this car look very scientific and technological. At the same time, the new style of three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and wireless mobile phone charging are added to meet the needs of current users.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5L engine and a motor, with BYD’s fifth-generation DM-i hybrid technology. The maximum power of the engine is 74 kW, and the maximum power of the motor is 160 kW. Compared with the current DM-i hybrid system of Qin PLUS, this one on Qin L further improves the working efficiency of the engine, thus achieving lower fuel consumption. Qin L will adopt the suspension form of front McPherson and rear+multi-links, which should be better than Qin PLUS in handling and comfort. The new car is equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery from Fudi, Zhengzhou. The battery provides 15.874kWh and 10.08kWh for consumers to choose, corresponding to the pure electric cruising range of WLTC of 90km and 60km respectively.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of this year, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i model shocked the domestic auto market at a price of 79,800 yuan, and Qin L, which is more PLUS than Qin PLUS, is about to debut. This car will have a larger body size than Qin PLUS, and the overall texture of the interior will be more advanced. At the same time, the brand-new fifth-generation DM-i hybrid technology will bring consumers lower fuel consumption and longer comprehensive endurance performance. According to the previous information, the price of the car may be more than 120,000 yuan. After entering the market, it will compete with the models with the same price as Deep Blue SL03 and Zero Run C01.
◆ Looking up at U7
After watching BYD Qin L, let’s take a look at Wangwang U7, which is positioned as a large car. The new car uses a design language similar to Wangwang U9, equipped with a very exaggerated C-shaped headlight group, with a far and near headlight group above it and a circle of LED strip around it. There are raised ribs on the hood of the engine, and the visual impact of the whole front is extremely strong. At first glance, it is a troublesome guy. In addition, there is a small bump on the roof, and the inside should be a laser radar.
From the side of the car body, the new car is equipped with large-size wheels with low wind resistance. The car body lines are slender and smooth, and the overall appearance is relatively low. The front fender is equipped with a diversion groove design. The new car is designed with a hidden door handle, and a charging port can be seen at the left rear of the car body. From the rear of the car, the car uses a penetrating taillight, which looks full of technology and looks up at the LOGO in the middle. The multi-layer rear surround design below improves the layering of the rear of the car.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5265/1998/1517mm and the wheelbase is 3160mm respectively. In terms of power, the car will be equipped with an easy square platform and four motors, each with a maximum power of 326 HP and a total power of 1306 HP. Although the new car has a curb weight of 3.095 tons, its top speed can still reach 270 km/h.
As the flagship brand of BYD’s impact on high-end, looking forward to the popularity of U8 has given the brand confidence to further try the Red Sea in the million-level market. Therefore, in the highly competitive car market, Looking Up to U7 came into being, aiming to share a slice of the large and medium-sized luxury car market with traditional luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Porsche Panamera. No matter the design or the power level, looking up at U7 is undoubtedly a new species in this class. The new energy era has given car companies more imagination and space to play, and also challenged traditional luxury brands in design ideas and product performance. Judging from the book data, looking up to U7 is not at all worried about the products of traditional ultra-luxury brands, but at the user level, how to successfully spoil the market in this relatively conservative market level and let consumers take the initiative to choose a domestic car with over one million yuan, the product strength itself and marketing are obviously indispensable.
◆ Mazda EZ-6
At this auto show, Changan Mazda brought a brand-new model-EZ-6 based on Changan EPA hybrid platform. The new car is positioned as a medium-sized car and is expected to be officially launched in the second half of the year. Mazda EZ-6 continues the design style of Mazda family. The biggest highlight of the front face is that the classic Mazda wing adopts luminous design and uses headlights that run through the running water grille, which continues the concept of soul movement as a whole.
On the side of the car body, the car has a hidden door handle and offers two 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, which also adopt a low wind resistance design. The new car body lines are full of strength and dynamic waistline. Just like other Mazda models, the dynamic beauty can be displayed by relying on the body lines. The taillights of vehicles are through-designed, and four round barrel lamp groups are added on both sides of the taillights, which is also a tribute to the classic design of the brand. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the car are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively.
In terms of interior, the dashboard of the car adopts a suspended design shape as a whole, and the overall style is also close to electrification. In terms of materials, the car will be made of Alcantara and will be decorated with matt chrome trim to enhance the sense of exquisiteness. The high-profile models will use the "Red Deer Brown" interior color, while the basic models will use the "Heron Feather White" color.
In terms of intelligence, the car will be equipped with a 14.6-inch LCD screen, and the car system adopts 8155 chips to integrate the control of air conditioning, seats, entertainment and other functions. The car will also be equipped with a 14-speaker Sony audio system, 64-color ambient lights, front zero-gravity seats, and the cockpit also supports 13 scene mode switching. It is worth mentioning that the car also has a panoramic canopy and will provide automatic or manual sunshade. It can be seen that Mazda EZ-6, which was born in Changan EPA hybrid platform, has been greatly improved in terms of body size and interior texture, and its appearance has also maintained Mazda’s online design level. At the same time, after replacing the new energy assembly, it will quickly enter the new energy market in full swing, and get a slice of it to enhance brand sales and brand popularity.
◆ BYD Seal 06 DM-i
In addition to the Qin L of Wang Chaowang mentioned above, there is also a brand-new medium-sized car-Seal 06 DM-i in BYD Ocean Network, which will be listed in the second quarter of this year.

The closed front shape is matched with LED light groups with corners on both sides and the sharp cooling openings on both sides of the front enclosure, which presents a very dynamic style as a whole.
On the side of the car body, the new car adopts a slightly slip-back design, which looks very compact and round as a whole. In the rear part, the new car adopts the popular penetrating taillight group, and the taillights on both sides adopt a drop-shaped design, which, together with the transparent lamp shell, makes the new car show a fashionable and dynamic attribute. The rear enclosure uses a double-layer and double-color design, which shows the sharpness of the rear diffuser and further enhances the dynamic atmosphere of the new car.
In terms of interior, the interior of the new car follows BYD’s family style, with full LCD instrument panel and large-size central control screen design. The new car adopts a large number of curved designs on the door panels and seat surfaces, supplemented by a small amount of blue embellishment, which makes the overall atmosphere of the interior more elegant and fashionable. Different from BYD Seal, the shift area of the new car adopts a circular design, the small gear handle looks very delicate, and various function buttons surround the gear handle, which greatly improves the interior texture.
In terms of power, Seal 06DM-i adopts a plug-in hybrid power system consisting of a 1.5L engine with a model of BYD472QC, in which the maximum power of the engine is 74 kW. The new car offers two sets of power versions, equipped with a 10.08kWh battery version, with a maximum motor power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 210 Nm.

According to the official information, the size of Seal 06DM-i is just stuck between destroyer 05 and Seal DM-i of BYD Ocean Network, which completes the product sequence of the car. It is worth waiting for friends who want to buy an economical family car in the near future.
◆ Wuling Xingguang EV
After seeing so many new cars that haven’t been listed yet, let’s take a look at the Wuling Xingguang EV, which just released the price at the auto show. It has launched two models in total, with the price range of 9.98-10.98 million yuan. Looking back briefly, Wuling Xingguang EV adopts the aesthetic design concept of star wing, and the electric version is equipped with a closed grille and split headlights, but the penetrating LED strip on the plug-in version is replaced by LED daytime running lights with long and narrow shapes on both sides. The lower enclosure is equipped with a penetrating black kit, which is integrated with the headlight groups on both sides, further enhancing the sense of movement.
The design of the side and rear of the car body is consistent with the plug-in version. The lines on the side of the car body are soft and smooth. The low-profile model is equipped with 17-inch rims and the high-profile model is 18 inches.

Take Qin PLUS as an example, the lowest starting price of pure electric version has reached 109,800 yuan, although the price is consistent with the high match of Wuling Xingguang pure electric version, Wuling Xingguang will win regardless of the body size or CLTC cruising range. According to the official data, the sales volume of Wuling Xingguang plug-in hybrid version has exceeded 52,000 units in the five months since its listing, and whether the pure electric version listed this time will replicate the results of the plug-in hybrid version remains to be seen.

◆ Tengshi Z9GT
At the end of the article, let’s take a look at the new flagship hunting model of Tengshi brand-Z9GT, which provides a hybrid version of pure electricity and plug-in. Z series is a sedan series of Tengshi family, 9 stands for flagship model, and GT suffix is English abbreviation of Grand Tourer, which is expected to be listed in the middle of the year. Tengshi Z9GT is the first vehicle whose Tengshi design evolved from π-Motion design language to Elegance in motion design concept. The front face of the new car adopts the design language of solar corona, and the overall shape is simple and dynamic. In detail, the new car integrates smart devices such as lidar, AGS active air intake grille, millimeter-wave radar and ACC driver-assisted radar into the grille area of the front face, achieving the design philosophy of "form following function". In addition, the car also adopts the design of double-star crown headlights, and the multi-functional combination headlights include far and near headlights and the intelligent driving function of DLP pixel headlights.
On the side of the car body, the new car takes elegance as the design principle, and adopts the backward design of the center of gravity to shape the body posture that stretches backwards. The proportion of the car body is more than 3 times the axle ratio and nearly 2 times the wheel height ratio, which not only shapes the stretching proportion of the car body, but also emphasizes the dynamic and sports performance of the vehicle. The car’s lateral center of gravity is lower, and the driving center of gravity moves backward, creating a backward-leaning posture. In the rear part, Tengshi Z9GT presents a FASTBACK tail posture, which is equipped with an aircraft-type roof hollowed-out spoiler and an active rear spoiler, and is equipped with high-position brake lights and low-position pilot lights, showing good sports attributes. The horizontal line design at the rear of the vehicle makes it lower and wider visually, and echoes the front face with a symmetrical sense of order.

The maximum power of the front motor is 230kW, the maximum power of the rear two motors is 240kW and 240kW, the combined maximum power is 710kW, and the maximum speed is 240 km/h. In addition, the car will use lithium iron phosphate battery from Foday, Jinan, but the official has not released the cruising range data of the car.
Tengshi Z9GT, as the flagship model of pure electric hunting equipment under the brand, officially announced that it will bid for Porsche Panamera. On the whole, the positioning of the two cars in their respective brands does have similarities, and at the same time, on the intelligent level, Tengshi Z9GT also shows strong product strength. However, it should be noted that, in terms of the current Tengshi brand power, although Tengshi Z9GT is the flagship model, it still can’t arouse the purchasing desire of its target consumers. The reason is because of the differences in brand power and brand awareness between the two. The follow-up Tengshi brand still needs to create a better sense of use experience and ritual in terms of luxury and comfort configuration, in order to truly become the car purchase choice of target users.
