On April 25th, at the 18th beijing international automotive exhibition in 2024, Tengshi Z9GT made its world debut. The new car is positioned as an intelligent luxury flagship car, which is larger than Paramera Executive Extended Edition. At the same time, it is the first to take the world’s leading subversive technology platform, Yi Sanfang, and it is full of "technology and hard work".

Z9GT adopts the brand-new design concept of Tengshi "Elegance in motion", and its elegant and stretched posture integrates the thinking of eastern and western aesthetics. The vehicle is designed with the center of gravity backward, creating a body posture that stretches backward.

The front face of the new car adopts the design language of solar corona, and adopts the design of double-star crown headlights. The multifunctional combined headlights include far and near headlights and the intelligent driving function of DLP pixel headlights. The front face of the family is outlined by two upward extending figurative lines, 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".

The Z9GT comes under the name of the flagship of Tengshi sedan family, and the body size is naturally full. The length, width and height of the vehicle are 5180X1990X1500(1480)mm and the wheelbase is 3125mm. Extra large size and elegant lines make it sporty.

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.

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.

In addition, the new car adopts the taillight design named "Time Hourglass", which extends from the middle to both sides, and the outline is combined with the surface. We can also see the "E" sign on the rear of the new car. According to the "Easy Sifang" technology, "E" may be BYD’s unique power system with three motors as the core. Earlier, the official also declared that the new car can achieve the elk test score close to 90km/h and the minimum turning radius within 5 meters.

The car is also equipped with 20/21-inch wheels and metal copper brake calipers. In terms of tires, the new car adopts the tire sizes of front 255/40 and rear 275/40.

In addition, the LOGO of Tengshi brand has also changed. Compared with before, the Tengshi LOGO on Z9GT looks more three-dimensional, and the blue in the center has also been changed to a deeper dark blue.

In terms of power, Tengshi Z9GT will be driven by front and rear three motors. 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, the maximum speed is 240km/h, and the horsepower is as high as nearly 1,000 horsepower. In addition, the car will use lithium iron phosphate batteries from Foday, Jinan.

At present, the official has not announced the interior design and detailed power parameter information of Tengshi Z9GT. According to the relevant information, in order to meet the car purchase needs of different fans, the new car may provide hybrid version and pure electric version.

As a high-end brand of BYD, Tengshi Z9GT’s main purpose is to benchmark traditional luxury brands, not only BBA, but also to open the possibility of benchmarking Porsche. According to the product design and the style of hunting coupe, Tengshi Z9GT should aim at Porsche Panamera comprehensively. It remains to be seen how the market response of Tengshi Z9GT, a brand-new luxury car, is.

　　[XCAR domestic new car original]

　　On October 31st, Binyue, a brand-new small SUV owned by Geely Automobile, was officially launched. The price range of the new car is7.88-118.8 million yuan.Binyue was built on the BMA modular architecture independently developed by Geely, and was equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder turbocharged engine in advance. The newly designed LOGO logo can highlight its sporty atmosphere. After the new car goes on the market, it will compete directly with changan CS35, Baojun 510 and Chuanqi GS3.

　

　　In the front part, Binyue adopts the design language of "Time Racing Aesthetics", which is younger and more fashionable. The "Starry Memory" front air intake grille is decorated with chrome trim strips and connected with headlights on both sides, which enhances the overall sense of the front face. Secondly, the sports version adopts Geely’s brand-new black LOGO, which is flatter and more textured than the existing LOGO.

　　Binyue’s flailing waistline simulates the trajectory of the human body jumping into the water, running from the front of the car to the rear of the car, and outlines Binyue’s smooth and powerful body. It is worth mentioning that Binyue is equipped with an aerodynamic speed-sensing tail, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance, increase the downward pressure on the car body and improve the stability of the vehicle when driving at high speed. The shape of the rear of the new car is very full, and the thick chrome trim strips extend all the way to the interior of the taillights on both sides, making the rear layered. In addition, the exhaust layout of the two sides also makes Binyue look full of fighting atmosphere.

　　On April 4th, in Bucharest, Romania, Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a press conference after the NATO-Russia Council meeting. Putin spoke positively of the meeting as a whole, but at the same time he once again expressed his dissatisfaction on controversial issues such as NATO expansion. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Jinquan photo

　　Putin remains the core leader of Russia.

　　Putin neither amended the constitution nor sought a third term, but elected Medvedev to succeed him as president and became prime minister himself, thus achieving a smooth change of Russian leaders. He publicly said: "I can work with Medvedev for a full term in the position of Prime Minister. If I see that the strategic goal of Russia’s development in 2020 can be achieved, I can continue to work."

　　He did not rule out the possibility of being president again in the future, but stressed that it is important to realize his long-term plan for Russia whether he is president or prime minister. Because his strategy of developing Russia in 2020 or the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the people is in line with the wishes of the vast majority of Russian people and has won the full support of all walks of life, this ensures that the change of Putin’s position will not affect him to continue to play Russia’s core leadership role.

　　According to him, in the next few years, the division of labor between Putin and Medvedev is that Putin focuses on economic and social affairs, that is, the goal of Russia becoming one of the five largest economic powers in the world by 2020 and his task of "brand-new social policy" are concretely implemented, while Medvedev focuses on foreign affairs, national defense and other fields.

　　Ambitious and determined to develop the economy

　　From 2000 to 2007, when Putin was president, Russia’s GDP increased by 72%. According to the average purchasing power price, Russia has surpassed Italy and France, ranking seventh in the world. Russia has determined that by 2020, that is, after another 12 years, the total economic output will enter the top five in the world. In order to achieve this goal, Russia will achieve the goal of doubling its GDP within ten years in 2009 ahead of schedule.

　　More importantly, two decisions are made under the guiding ideology of economic development: First, strive for "sustained and stable development" and emphasize the importance of maintaining domestic stability. Medvedev also stated in his campaign platform that "maintaining stable development is a necessary condition for Russia’s development, and Russia must have a stable development period of 10 years", and "the opportunities lost in the 20th century can be recovered through 10 years of normal development".

　　The second is to change from an energy-based raw material development model to an innovative development model. Russia’s economic recovery benefits from abundant natural resources and soaring world energy prices, but to achieve the goal of becoming an economic power, it is necessary to change the economic development model. Putin pointed out in his speech that Russia has not got rid of the situation that its economic development relies too much on natural resources, which makes Russia deeply involved in the role of exporting primary raw materials. "The only solution is innovative development." To this end, on the one hand, Russia should reduce its dependence on oil exports, on the other hand, it should encourage innovation in the scientific and technological system.

　　Continue to implement the "brand-new social policy"

　　Putin’s "new social policy", according to his own statement, is "to create all people-centered modern social environment." Its fundamental purpose is to adjust the social structure with national interests as the center, promote social progress, and strive to maximize the people’s sharing of the great achievements of economic development.

　　To this end, Putin put forward a social development plan, including increasing national income, improving national health and education level, and improving housing and working conditions. Putin put forward the "brand-new social policy", mainly because of the wrong policies during Yeltsin’s reign, which led to the poverty of the Russian people. Through the efforts of Putin’s ruling years, people’s living standards have improved a lot. The annual growth rate of residents’ income is 10% ~ 12%, and the increase of wages reaches 16%. However, social problems are still very serious, mainly the high inflation rate and the imbalance of social development. It is reported that the income gap between residents in the richest and poorest areas in Russia is as high as 35 times.

　　An important reason why Putin agreed to become prime minister after leaving the presidency is that he has to personally complete his social reform plan.

　　Continue to pursue a relatively moderate policy toward the West.

　　The international environment faced by Russia to realize economic revitalization is severe. In order to contain the Russian revival, the United States increased its pressure on Russia, and some European countries cooperated. In this regard, Russia will pursue a policy of not seeking confrontation on the premise of safeguarding its own national interests. Putin’s speech has repeatedly stated that Russia’s policy toward the West is "not offensive", "does not take the initiative to attack, and at the same time does not allow Russia’s national interests to be harmed", "We do not want to return to the Cold War, and our main task is to solve domestic social and economic problems" and "we must develop good relations with all partners, including the United States". Putin even expressed some optimism about Russia-US relations after the US election, saying that Russia and the United States "will choose the fundamental interests of the two countries without exception, realize positive dialogue, and at least cooperate together".

　　It can be said that Russia’s main message to the west under the "Pu-Mei system" is that it wants economic reform rather than the Cold War. It can be expected that Russia will, in general, adopt a relatively moderate attitude towards the West, except for the necessary struggles on issues that harm Russia’s national interests, such as anti-missile and Kosovo.

　　Insist on not being involved in the arms race

　　Russia has a relatively strong military force, which is a great support for becoming a powerful country. In the face of the emerging new arms race in the world, Russia will vigorously develop more advanced new weapons to "effectively respond"; However, it draws lessons from the collapse of the Soviet Union’s arms race and emphasizes that Russia will never "fall into" the arms race. When talking about Russia’s development strategy, Putin made it clear that Russia "cannot drag itself into consumptive confrontation, including an arms race that devastatingly drains the Russian economy". (Ding Yuanhong, former ambassador of China to the European Union)

5G will also promote the further application of cloud technology. BMW has transferred a lot of computing power and functions to the BMW cloud, and processed a lot of data and complex tasks through the BMW cloud computing center.

The BMW i4 model released in advance includes two versions, i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50.

▲ Comparison of important parameters of typical luxury brand pure electric coupe

In terms of appearance, BMW i4 is a coupe with short front and rear suspension, thin side beams, frameless doors and streamlined roof.

The front of the car adopts narrow headlights and BMW’s classic "kidney" shape, which has become one of the appearance standards of BMW I series. The i4 M50 can also be equipped with optional M kit, which includes more flamboyant aerodynamic components, larger rims, etc. to make the vehicle look more combative.

▲ BMW i4

As for the power system, i4 adopts BMW’s latest fifth-generation eDrive electric drive system, which integrates the motor, inverter and gearbox, and has the advantages of simple layout and light weight, with an energy density of 2.14kW/kg.

▲ BMW i4 electric drive system

It is worth pointing out that the motor used in the electric drive system is an electrically excited synchronous motor, which has the advantage of maintaining constant torque output in a fairly wide speed range.

The efficient and compact electric drive system gives BMW the opportunity to give excellent power performance to the i4 model. Among them, i4 eDrive40 adopts the rear wheel drive mode, and the peak power of the electric drive system on the rear axle is 250kW (about 340 HP) and the peak torque is 430N?m. It takes only 5.7s to propel this vehicle with a curb weight of 2125kg to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

▲ BMW i4

The i4 M50 adopts four-wheel drive mode, and the front and rear electric drive systems work together. The peak power of the electric four-wheel drive system is 400kW (about 544 HP), and the peak torque reaches an astonishing 795N?m. With such abundant power, it takes only 3.9 seconds for this vehicle with a curb weight of 2290kg to complete the 0~100km/h acceleration.

In terms of batteries, BMW said that the high-voltage lithium battery used in i4 has a higher technical content than the battery of i3 model, so the energy density has increased by about 20%. At present, both i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50 models are equipped with a lithium battery with a capacity of 83.9kWh (usable capacity is 80.7kWh).

▲ BMW i4 battery pack

In order to keep the battery in its best working condition as much as possible, BMW designed an efficient temperature control system for i4. This system is integrated with the battery pack, which can be heated when it is cold and cooled when it is hot, so that the temperature of each position of the battery pack is as stable and consistent as possible.

With the help of the temperature control system, the battery of i4 can not only support the powerful power output of the electric drive system, but also give the i4 model considerable cruising range.

Under the working condition of WLTP, the energy consumption of i4 eDrive40 is 16~20kWh/100km, and its comprehensive cruising range is 590km；. The energy consumption of i4 M50 is 19~24kWh/100km, and its comprehensive cruising range is 510km.

▲ Charging BMW i4

On this basis, BMW also designed a "Combined Charging Unit" for the i4 model, which gave the i4 the ability to charge quickly.

For example, when using fast-filling piles, i4 supports charging power up to 200kW. Assuming that only 10% of the battery energy is available when the vehicle starts charging, people can get about 164km(i4 eDrive40) or 140km(i4 M50) cruising range in just 10 minutes at this power.

If people are not in such a hurry, it’s ok to wait for a while, because the charging speed of i4 in fast charging mode is very fast, and the charging time from 10% to 80% is only 31 minutes (the same is true for i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50).

In terms of intelligent cockpit, BMW i4 adopts a dual screen design with a 12.3-inch display and a 14.9-inch central control screen, which, like BMW iX, can provide quite a lot of information and a quite shocking sensory experience. Moreover, the double screen adopts the design of curved screen and inclines to the driver’s seat at a certain angle, which is the implementation of BMW’s consistent concept of "driver first".

▲ BMW i4 interior

On this basis, i4 is also equipped with a head-up display system to further enhance the visual experience of drivers and passengers. For example, during driving, the display screen will display information such as map, current position, route planning, etc., while the head-up display system will display tips such as vehicle speed, steering tips, lane change recommendations, etc., so that drivers can see intuitive and concise route guidance information without taking their eyes off the road.

On the center console, the i4 model did not keep too many physical buttons, but integrated the functions corresponding to the buttons into the touch screen. The car also adopts BMW’s eighth generation iDrive system, and its interface and functions are basically the same as BMW iX.

At the same time, i4′ s car system integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mapping system, which has a high tolerance for smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets, and can truly realize end-to-end ecological integration. Users can also customize the car system of i4 through the My BMW App application. In the future, i4′ s car system will also support OTA upgrade. With the blessing of 5G communication technology, OTA upgrade will be very fast.

In terms of intelligent driving, the i4 model has SAE L2-class automatic driving capability, with up to about 40 driving assistance functions. Among them, the functions of forward collision warning, speed limit warning and lane departure warning are standard in the whole department, and the optional functions include adaptive cruise with automatic (adjustable) speed limit assistance, road monitoring, steering and lane keeping assistance, traffic light recognition (only available in Germany) and so on.

It is worth pointing out that the adaptive cruise function of i4 can not only adjust the vehicle speed according to the speed of the preceding vehicle and the set distance, but also adjust the vehicle speed according to the road speed limit. The system will call the road speed limit information provided by the navigation system to ensure that the vehicle will not exceed the speed limit, and at the same time let the vehicle drive safely in the lane through the lane departure warning/avoidance function.

The forward collision warning/avoidance function of BMW i4 has also been upgraded. BMW said that i4′ s sensing system can accurately identify vehicles in static or moving state, as well as pedestrians and cyclists. With a more efficient sensing system, i4 can better avoid collisions.

In addition, parking distance assistance and reversing camera are also standard in the whole system, and optional functions include reversing collision warning and panoramic 3D image display.

Among traditional car companies, BMW’s intelligent process can not be underestimated. In the fields of autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit, BMW already has a large number of core technologies, which is pressing for new forces to build cars step by step.

At the same time, BMW’s electrification transformation is also the fastest in the industry. As early as 2014, BMW has mass-produced two models, i3 and i8, laying the foundation for future models. Nowadays, a large wave of pure electric products are put on the market, which shows BMW’s determination in the field of intelligence and electrification.
