It is expected to pre-sell Haval in April and release the official map of the new model Haval Red Rabbit.
A few days ago, Great Wall Motor officially released the official map of its brand-new model Haval Red Rabbit. It is planned that the new car will be officially opened for pre-sale in April this year. The appearance of Haval Red Rabbit adopts the brand-new aesthetic design concept of "Tide Awakening" of the Great Wall. The front grille is an iconic large-size hexagon, and the interior adopts a straight waterfall design with chrome-plated decoration. The headlights are irregular in shape, and the daytime running lights and headlights are separated. The D-pillar design of Haval Red Rabbit is more rounded, and a large suspended tail is added, giving people a visual effect of sharp style and movement. It is reported that the design of the new car is inspired by the charge posture maintained by athletes when they start to exert their strength.
The new car is positioned in a compact SUV, with a length of 4450mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm in body size, which is quite satisfactory in its class. This car is based on the global intelligent vehicle platform Lemon Platform, and it is the fourth model mass-produced by this platform. Lemon platform has the characteristics of high flexibility, high performance, high safety and light weight, which can give new cars good advantages in intelligence, performance, safety and space ratio.
At present, the power scheme of the new car has not been announced yet, but we predict that the new car will adopt a combination of 1.5T engine with high and low power and 7DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox. Among them, the high-power version can output the maximum power of 135Kw and the peak torque of 270Nm.
Recently, Geely Automobile announced the latest news of Xingyue L. The new car will come standard with Volvo Drive-E 2.0TD power. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 175kW (about 238 HP) and the peak torque is 350 Nm. It is worth mentioning that the Star Yue L is a brand-new SUV based on the CMA super matrix. Compared with the Star Yue on sale, the "L" of the Star Yue L has the meanings of Larger, luxurious and subversive.
In terms of design, the straight waterfall net of Xingyue L is very atmospheric, and the "meter-level full screen" of the interior is also amazing, giving people a refreshing feeling. Although the car is positioned as a compact SUV, in terms of body size, it has reached the standards of many medium-sized SUVs, even much larger than the Jetway X70 PLUS, Buick Angkewei, Tiguan L, Chevrolet Explorer and other models positioned as medium-sized SUVs.
Changan Automobile’s new car release frequency is really fierce in recent two years. Not long ago, Changan Automobile officially released a set of new car preview maps, but the car has strict camouflage. It is reported that the new car belongs to CS series. But judging from the lines of the car body, it is likely to be the third car in the UNI series.
The new car adopts a sharp headlight shape, and the body camouflage sticker is printed with all kinds of hot words in the mouth of young people. Obviously, this car user group will also target young people; The lines on the side of the car body are sharp, especially the layering of the two waistlines on the D-pillar is very strong; In terms of power, it is expected that it will most likely be equipped with Changan Blue Whale NE 1.5T L4 engine and 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Other aspects have not released more information for the time being, and we will continue to pay attention.
Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Beijing Benz Automobile Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision according to the requirements of the Regulations on the Management of Defective Automobile Product Recall and the Implementation Measures of the Regulations on the Management of Defective Automobile Product Recall. The recall involved some imported and domestic C-class (platform 205) vehicles, totaling 125,568 vehicles. The reason for the recall is that if the vehicle is idling for a long time under the unfavorable heat dissipation environment, the heat generated by the rectifier bridge diode may not be dissipated in time, and individual diodes may also cause short-circuit failure due to exceeding the maximum working temperature, which leads to the temperature rise of the alternator stator coil, which cannot rule out the fire risk and has potential safety hazards.
Therefore, Mercedes-Benz (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Beijing Benz Automobile Co., Ltd. will upgrade the engine control unit software for vehicles within the scope of recall through authorized dealers to eliminate potential safety hazards.
Coincidentally, at the time of Mercedes-Benz recall, Audi also announced the recall of domestic A6L, Audi Q3, imported Audi A6 Avant 2.0T and imported Audi A7. The specific production time of vehicles is some domestic A6L 2.0T vehicles produced from April 25th, 2018 to November 24th, 2020, totaling 118,074 vehicles. And some imported A6 Avant 2.0T and A7 2.0T vehicles produced from October 14th, 2019 to November 13th, 2020, totaling 6,724 vehicles.
The reason for the recall is that under certain working conditions when the engine is idling, the imperfect learning function of the camshaft adjuster driving algorithm in the engine control unit may lead to the deviation of the results, which may cause the camshaft not to be adjusted to the correct position, which may lead to the unstable operation of the engine, and in extreme cases, the engine may stop running, posing a safety hazard. FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. will entrust Audi authorized dealers to upgrade the engine control unit software for vehicles within the recall range free of charge to eliminate potential safety hazards. There are also two Audi Q3′ s recalled because the pulley in the steering gear may have dimensional deviation, which may lead to the incorrect installation of the circlip during the assembly process.
As if it was agreed, BMW Brilliance Automobile Co., Ltd. also filed a recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision. A total of 8,114 X3 and iX3 vehicles with production dates from December 29th, 2020 to January 25th, 2021 were recalled.
The reason is that a rocker switch in the automatic seat belt retractor in the middle of the rear row may be positioned incorrectly due to the assembly error of the vehicle in the production process of the supplier. In case of failure, the inductive locking sensor may not work normally in the seat belt retractor, thus causing the passengers to be unable to be fixed on the seat during emergency braking. BMW Brilliance Automobile Co., Ltd. will check the rear middle seat belt for the affected vehicles free of charge and replace the rear middle seat belt if necessary. I have to say that these three brands deliberately chose to announce the recall plan at the same time. It is really a coup to distract consumers’ attention!
