Chery flagship model

  Xing Tu Xing Ji Yuan ES is Chery’s flagship model, which uses Chery’s most advanced technology in all aspects. So what hard-core technology does Xing Ji Yuan ES have?

  First of all, Xingyue ES comes from E0X high-performance electric platform, which is a brand-new platform built by Chery for the future of electrification. Now, building a car is nothing more than two dimensions of intelligence and comfort, and so is E0X platform. E0X platform consists of two parts, one of which is a high-performance physical platform architecture, mainly around the aspects of battery, electric drive, driving control, safety and lightweight, and the other is a high-intelligence electronic and electrical architecture, mainly including high-computing hardware and software, secure communication and high-speed OTA.

What hard-core technologies are equipped with Chery's flagship model-Star Road Star Era ES _fororder_image001?

  Specific to Xingyue ES, the high-equipped models are based on the 800V high-voltage platform, and the charging, discharging and energy storage efficiency will be improved under the high-voltage platform. At the same time, the power devices are made of SiC silicon carbide materials, and the working efficiency will be higher.

What hard-core technologies are equipped with Chery's flagship model-Star Road Star Era ES _fororder_image002?

  Xingyue ES supports charging for 5 minutes and charging for 30% to 80% in 15 minutes, which can match 750V-1000V ordinary fast-charging piles and super-charging piles. At the same time, ES also has a 400V low-profile model, and the price is more acceptable. The battery supplier is Jiangsu Times, which is owned by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. There are lithium ternary batteries and lithium ternary batteries mixed with Ferrous lithium phosphate. The battery capacity ranges from 60 to 97 degrees, the power consumption of CLTC is 11.7kWh/100km, and the battery life of CLTC ranges from 570 to 900 km.

  E0X platform is Chery’s main platform for the future. Within two years, based on this platform, 15 pure electric vehicles will be launched, including cars, SUVs and MPVs. 

  The second highlight of Xingyue ES is its pan-tilt chassis. The whole chassis system includes a series of air suspension, CDC shock absorption, brake by wire, intelligent torque distribution and lightweight materials. Suspension structure: front double ball joints, double wishbone and rear five links are made of a large number of all-aluminum materials, and the front suspension swing arm, front and rear knuckles, rear subframe and brake calipers are all made of all-aluminum. With air suspension +CDC vibration reduction, it means that the suspension height is adjustable, and the suspension damping can be adjusted in real time and actively through intelligent algorithm, and with other software and hardware, the suspension damping can be adjusted in advance.

  In order to cooperate with the advanced driving assistance function in the later period, Xingyue ES is equipped with a brake-by-wire system, which has a fast braking response, improves the active braking performance, and allows the motor to recover the braking energy to the maximum extent. For the four-wheel drive version, the intelligent vector four-wheel drive technology can switch the power between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive within 0.2s.

What hard-core technologies are equipped with Chery's flagship model-Star Road Star Era ES _fororder_image004?

  The chassis of Xingyue ES is almost full, which is a big killer. More than 200,000 people have air suspension, which was unthinkable before. Xingyue ES has pushed these configuration thresholds to a new low.

What hard-core technologies are equipped with Chery's flagship model-Star Road Star Era ES _fororder_image005?

  The third highlight is that Star Age ES is equipped with iFLYTEK Spark Cognitive Model for the first time. This model is mainly aimed at human-computer interaction and intelligent driving. Needless to say, human-computer interaction is nothing more than voice assistants, landing applications and localized services. In the intelligent driving part, the mid-and-low-equipped model of Star Age ES is equipped with Horizon Extended Range 3 chip, with 5 cameras, 8 ultrasonic radars and 2 millimeter-wave radars, which can realize L2-class driving assistance. The top model adopts two NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips, with 12 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter-wave radars and 1 laser radar. Due to the improvement of hardware and computing power, it supports high-speed and urban elevated roads, urban roads and parking lots, covering the whole scene, and can realize the functions of high-speed NOP, urban NOA and intelligent parking AVP.

Changan Yidong XT automatic handsome and cool model, the most beautiful hatchback in China, netizen: the most important thing is 40 thousand

There are hot articles every day, and Duan Zishou is in the private sector. Every time after posting some hot articles, the comments from netizens are getting better and better. Today, let’s take a look at the "Changan Yidong 15 XT automatic handsome and cool models, the most important functions are very well configured, which has been very satisfied". This article has received 214 comments in just one hour. Some people questioned it, others agreed, and some even had a heated discussion in the comment area.

I don’t need a nice car to reduce the expenses of my family. I chose to buy a second-hand car. I heard from my colleague that she bought a second-hand car at Renren, and she showed me her car as if it were new. I went to the scene with the mentality of trying. She said she would take me there. She was very familiar with the seller there and was an old customer after all. When I got home, my husband and I went to Renren Car to see the second-hand car, and showed him the car recommended by the seller. He thought it was a good model, so he chose this Changan-Yidong 2015 XT 1.6L automatic handsome and cool model. It was licensed on December 3, 2015, with a car age of 3 years, a mileage of 39,900 kilometers and a price of 47,000, but it was not possible. He said to go to see the car with me another day. When I saw the car for the second time, it was the same salesman who introduced the car to me. My husband looked at the chassis, opened the front hood and carefully looked at the situation inside. Nodded and said: it’s really good. My friend also came with us, mainly because she is more experienced and gave me a valuable opinion when buying a car. She helped to bargain. She was quite familiar with bargaining. She negotiated the right price in one or two efforts. I bought a car at a low price. The owner of the car has no problem with this price. After discussing the price through negotiation, we checked whether some of their auto insurance was paid. We didn’t dare to put it on the second-hand car platform until we checked the relevant information of the car, and saw the photos proved in the contract. Indeed, we signed the contract soon. I don’t know much about reinspection,My friend said that the re-inspection of the car here is absolutely right. They won’t give you a false data. The transfer hall is really crowded, and everyone is dying. However, the thought of having a car after completing this procedure is nothing. The child is so happy. After buying a car and sending the children to school, the car really gives the children a safe space. Other mothers are amazed at how I can buy a car so quickly that I can exercise it on the road. I bought a car this time. Thanks to the help of my friends, I got my favorite car. The children are praising me. This car is really comfortable to do, and I can’t help secretly rejoicing in my heart.

Then see here, Xiao Bian thinks you must have a lot to say, so let’s see what the masses of people who eat melons say before you speak! ! !

1. @ mmmm44: 1. Say the important things about appearance three times! 2. Space: I’m 185 kg and 175 m tall (a good word). It’s not crowded to be my daughter-in-law in the back of the main driver’s seat, and needless to say, the front row is quite big. My favorite thing is the big mouth-like opening in the trunk. Putting the back seat down can install an electric car.

2. @ 嗮嗮: I can only say that the strength of Chang ‘an European Design Center is still quite good, or how to say "the most beautiful hatchback made in China". It’s amazing at first sight, and the more you look, the better you look. Well, I’m from the Appearance Association. My daughter-in-law said that my two most discerning things are to marry her and buy it. B-pillar is black, and the window film I pasted is also black, which is very visual from a distance.

3. @ Easy-looking: At present, I have traveled 30,000 kilometers without any performance or quality problems. It is not as frequent as some friends said. Personally, I am very satisfied.

4. @ Class test site: I am most satisfied with the appearance of XT. Once I drove out to buy things, passers-by ran to my front to see what kind of car it was, haha. . . . . . And the interior of the car is well done, although the central control is hard plastic.

5. @dedk83: Changan has been making cars more and more diligently in recent years. It is better to work hard in domestic cars. The steering wheel, the seat, the armrest and the door seat are all wrapped in leather and soft-treated. The buttons are also more tactile, and both sun visors have cosmetic mirrors. I like the glasses case and the cigarette lighting area best, which has a sense of damping. Although the plastic of the center console has been treated with imitation leather, it would be perfect if it was replaced with enamel plastic.

6. @ old boys: I think the cars in this class are not bad. Occasionally, the car is full and it is not particularly crowded. The trunk is also satisfactory, and sometimes it is no problem to pack a lot of samples after a business trip. When you go out to go on road trip or something, you can also put the back seat down to sleep, lie down and look at the stars, talk about life and ideals with friends, and think about it comfortably.

7. @ 京京京京: I bought it at the end of 15 years, and the purchase tax was halved. 4s gave a few thousand discounts. I felt that the price/performance ratio was relatively high, and I was more assured of its quality after two years of listing, so I bought it.

8. w82:1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. I think this car is more powerful and faster than our company’s Pentium b50 and Qichen d50. Sometimes I drive a b50 on a business trip, and it takes a lot of effort to overtake a car, so I can only go down to 4th gear and 3rd gear to get there quickly.

9. @ Go out: My daughter-in-law lives in the mountainous area of Shijiazhuang, and sometimes goes to them. Because the suspension of this car is hard to adjust, climbing is very cool, and the inclination angle of the car body is relatively small after 70 turns. The steering wheel is not empty. I think it’s ok to turn. Well, we haven’t driven a good car either, so we can’t compare it. I bought this one with no electronic power. It may be the case of hydraulic power. The original steering is a little heavy, so it will be fine to drive.

10. @ extras: Praise the seat. I am a strong (cough) physique. When I sit down, the whole seat is well wrapped, soft and spacious. I never install cushions and seat covers. Originally, the manufacturers designed them very comfortably, and some people insisted on installing a four-season set or something hard. The sound insulation is ok, and it is basically satisfactory under the condition of high speed and no speeding.

Seeing this, you must have a thousand words! So if you have anything to say, please feel free to contact Xiaobian! ! !

Call Israel a "war criminal"! Why Erdogan’s attitude towards Israel is getting more and more fierce?

  On October 28th, local time, hundreds of thousands of people took part in a rally in Istanbul, Turkey, in support of the Palestinian people.

  Speaking to the crowd at the rally that day, Turkish President Erdogan condemned the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip as an act of aggression and must be stopped immediately. He also called Israel a "war criminal" and an "occupier" in the Middle East.

  Erdogan: "Israel, we will announce to the world that you are a war criminal. Israeli, how did you get into Gaza? You are invaders and occupiers. The Turkish people are all aware of this. Speaking of Western countries, Western countries bear the greatest responsibility for the current situation in Gaza. "

Call Israel a "war criminal"! Why Erdogan's attitude towards Israel is getting more and more fierce?

  After the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out, Erdogan’s attitude attracted attention. He first called on all parties to exercise restraint and avoid escalating the situation, then criticized the Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip and cancelled his visit to Israel. He also said that some foreign countries are "adding fuel to the fire" to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the name of supporting Israel.

  In response to Erdogan’s latest statement, Israeli Foreign Minister Cohen said on social media that he had recalled some diplomats in Turkey to reassess the relationship between Israel and Turkey.

Call Israel a "war criminal"! Why Erdogan's attitude towards Israel is getting more and more fierce?

  Li Yanan, Associate Research Fellow of Middle East Institute of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations.In an interview with the Global Information Broadcasting of the Central Radio and Television General Station, it was pointed out that in the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Turkey’s position has obviously undergone a change from restraint to gradual fierceness, and this change was adjusted by Turkey from its own interests:

  The reason why Turkey exercised restraint in the early stage was mainly because it didn’t want its diplomatic layout to be disturbed by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. First, we don’t want to let the process of normalization of Turkish-Israeli relations, which has just started, be impacted. Because the normalization of Turkey-Israel relations is not only related to Turkey’s economy, trade and investment in the region, but also related to whether Turkey can get a piece of the big chess game of energy development in the Eastern Mediterranean. Second, Turkey and both sides of the conflict — — Both Israel and Palestine maintain a relatively normal communication state, which can make Turkey once again become a mediator in regional hotspot conflicts. Third, Turkey does not want to get involved in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in an excessively high profile as before, so as not to undermine its relations with the Arab countries in the Gulf.

  As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to intensify, Erdogan’s restraint towards Israel has become increasingly difficult to maintain. The Turkish side defended Hamas and criticized western countries for supporting Israel, which is actually the result of balancing interests. First, Turkey wants to win the leadership position in the Islamic world. When the Arab world and the Islamic world are increasingly angry about the tragedy in Gaza, it is hard for Turkey not to show its attitude. Second, Erdogan faces domestic pressure. Third, at present, Egypt and Qatar are playing the role of mediators, and Turkey’s purpose of being a mediator is frustrated. Erdogan hopes to arouse the attention of all parties to Turkey.

  Li Yanan further pointed out that the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has brought both challenges and opportunities for Turkey to achieve its regional strategic goals:

  Challenge 1: This round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has put pressure on the relationship between Turkey and Israel, and also hindered the overall moderate trend in the region, which has disrupted Turkey’s plan to revive its economy as soon as possible after the election.

  Challenge 2: At present, the United States strongly supports Israel, and Turkey is increasingly adopting a strong attitude towards Israel, which will further alienate Turkey from the United States and even NATO, and the differences in diplomatic positions between the two sides on regional hot issues will also expand.

  Opportunity 1: At present, Turkey generally supports the Palestinian side, and the positions of domestic political groups and factions on the Palestinian issue are closer. This provides Erdogan with an opportunity to ease the problem of political polarization.

  Opportunity 2: Although Turkey’s mediation role in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not been brought into full play at present, considering that Turkey has special ties with Lebanon and Iran, and Lebanon and Iran are the key third parties in this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this special relationship gives Turkey more room to continue to play its mediation role.

Biden set foot on the "embarrassing road" in the Middle East

  Xinhua News Agency, Washington, October 18th (international observation) Biden stepped on the "embarrassing road" in the Middle East.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Deng Xianlai

  US President Biden arrived in Israel on the 18th for a visit. On the eve of the visit, a hospital in Gaza was attacked by air, killing hundreds of people. Palestine pointed its finger at Israel, which denied it. Jordan announced in the early hours of the 18th that it would cancel the meeting of the leaders of Palestine, Jordan, Egypt and the United States scheduled to be held in Amman that day.

  Analysts pointed out that Biden’s visit has both internal and external purposes. Internally, he hopes to boost the election for next year’s general election through this visit, while externally, he will show his support for Israel and balance relations with Arab countries. However, the attack on Gaza City Hospital and the subsequent cancellation of the meeting by Arab leaders put Biden in an awkward position.

  A terrible attack

  Pakistani security officials told Xinhua that a large number of displaced people were temporarily living in the attacked hospital, and a strong explosion could be heard at the scene, which also triggered a fire. Palestinian President Abbas announced on the same day that he would mourn for the hospital victims and the Palestinians killed in the current conflict for three days throughout Pakistan.

  The attack on Gaza City Hospital triggered strong condemnation from Palestinians and neighboring countries. Palestinian Prime Minister Ashtiyah issued a statement saying that the "massacre" in Gaza City Hospital was a terrible crime of "genocide"; Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati and Speaker of Parliament Berry condemned the "Israeli attack on Gaza City Hospital"; King Abdullah II of Jordan strongly condemned the "Israeli air strikes on Gaza City Hospital" and warned that the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict has entered a dangerous stage; The Turkish Foreign Ministry also issued a statement saying that Turkey was very angry at "the Israeli attack on the hospital in Gaza City, which killed hundreds of Palestinians".

  The IDF responded that armed groups in the Gaza fired several rockets at Israel that night, among which the rocket fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Jehad) was wrong and hit the hospital, and it should be responsible for this matter.

  According to the statement of the World Health Organization, the attacked hospital was one of 20 hospitals in the northern part of the Gaza Strip that were evacuated by the Israeli military. WHO calls on Israel to revoke the evacuation order, abide by international humanitarian law and protect the safety of medical institutions. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Tü rk, described the attack as "terrible" and called it "totally unacceptable". The violence and killings must stop immediately, and the international community must make every effort to end this situation.

  Randa Slim, a senior researcher and director of conflict resolution at the Middle East Institute of American think tank, said that after the attack on the hospital, "the situation will be very bad".

  An awkward visit

  Biden issued a statement after the incident, saying that he was angry and deeply saddened by the explosion in Gaza City Hospital. The BBC reported that Biden faced an embarrassing situation with the cancellation of the meeting between the leaders of Jordan, Egypt and Palestine.

  Abbas said in a speech that the Israeli government has crossed "all red lines". Jordanian Foreign Minister Assafadi said that the new meeting time of the Quartet will depend on when the countries concerned agree to end the "war and massacre against Palestinians".

  CNN said that Biden faced a dilemma in the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, both to express anger and to avoid the escalation of the conflict. Biden tried to achieve his goal by meeting with Arab leaders, and balanced the relationship with Arab partners while supporting Israel. However, the meeting was cancelled at the last minute, which meant that Biden faced new diplomatic problems.

  Charles Lister, a senior researcher at the Middle East Institute, said that the timing and expected results of Biden’s visit to Israel were extremely bad. Daniel Curtze, the former US ambassador to Israel, pointed out that the attack on Gaza City Hospital left Biden in an unwilling situation.

  Bad Middle East policy

  Jonathan Panikov, a scholar of the Atlantic Council of the United States, said that the lack of a real strategy in the Palestinian-Israeli issue will pose a long-term risk.

  Over the years, the United States has frequently provoked conflicts in the Middle East, and even launched wars to directly promote regime change, which has led to repeated wars in many countries in the Middle East, mired in conflicts and security dilemmas. Hafsha Halava, a scholar at the Middle East Institute, bluntly said that the image of the United States in the Middle East could not be saved, and that "Americans are immoral in this region".

  However, with next year’s US election approaching, American politicians still regard the Middle East issue as a bargaining chip in the face of a serious humanitarian crisis. As Jon altman, a Middle East expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States, said, Biden’s status as a politician determines the significance of this visit. For him, this is an extension of the campaign.

  The US Newsweek website article pointed out that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict forced the White House to face the potential prospect of regional war, which may consume the government’s energy for weeks or months. This is the worst diplomatic crisis for Biden when he is stepping up his campaign.

  Analysts pointed out that in recent years, the issue of Israel has become more and more popular in American partisan politics, and the Republican Party has repeatedly attacked the Democratic Party for "not supporting Israel enough". Biden hopes to take this visit to highlight his consistent commitment to Israel, so as to consolidate or win the votes of Jewish and Christian evangelicals in China.

  To Biden’s embarrassment, the Democratic Party did not fully support his "pro-Israel" stance. Many progressive lawmakers criticized "civilian casualties caused by Israeli air strikes" and called on the conflicting parties to cease fire immediately and provide humanitarian assistance to the Gaza. In addition, polls show that Democrats’ sympathy for Palestine is on the rise in recent years, so it is still unknown to what extent Biden can get political points through this visit.

  The prices of peripheral soybean oil and palm oil continued to fall, and the cotton oil market was negative. Coupled with the sluggish demand, the spot of cotton oil continued to decline. At present, the price of cotton oil in some areas is around 5980 yuan/ton in Hebei, 5830 yuan/ton in Shandong, 5900 yuan/ton in Henan, 5650 ~ 5920 yuan/ton in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and 4870 yuan/ton in southern Xinjiang.

  The mainstream price of first-class soybean oil in domestic port areas is 6250 ~ 6400 yuan/ton, which is 20 ~ 120 yuan/ton lower than last week. At present, the price difference is 420 ~ 570 yuan/ton compared with cotton oil in Shandong. The price of 24-degree palm oil is 5550 ~ 5680 yuan/ton, which is 20 ~ 80 yuan/ton lower than last week, and the price difference with the third-grade cotton oil is not big.

  The ex-factory price of domestic fourth-grade vegetable oil in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is stable at 8,000 ~ 8,200 yuan/ton, down by 100 ~ 150 yuan/ton compared with last week, and the price of fourth-grade vegetable oil pressed by imported rapeseed in coastal areas is 6,150 ~ 6,200 yuan/ton, down by 100 yuan/ton compared with last week. The decline of bulk oils continues, dragging down the cotton oil market.

  Up to now, the total domestic commercial stock of soybean oil has reached 1,279,700 tons, an increase of 1.37% compared with 1,262,350 tons in the same period last week, and an increase of 316,100 tons or 32.8% compared with the same period last year. The total inventory of palm oil in ports nationwide reached 1.089 million tons, and the national reserve of vegetable oil also reached 5 million tons. The overall supply of oil exceeds demand, and the buyer’s confidence in the market outlook is still not optimistic, and the wait-and-see mood is increasing.

  Therefore, under the background of negative market fundamentals, cotton oil is weak and difficult to change, or it will continue to follow the steady decline of oil and fat. However, with the high cost of cottonseed, there is little room for cotton oil to continue to fall. Since late July to mid-August is the key filling period for soybean growth in the United States, the market expects weather speculation. If the US market picks up in August, the cotton oil market may be expected to pick up moderately.

  Cotton meal: the advantage of cost performance is no longer obvious.

  The oil price difference between soybean meal and cotton has narrowed, and the price drop of rapeseed meal has also been negative for cotton meal, and the spot price has continued to decline. At present, the price of cottonseed meal in some areas is around 3070 yuan/ton for 40% protein in Hebei, 3010 yuan/ton for 40% protein in Shandong, 2980 yuan/ton for 40% protein in Henan, 3070-3200 yuan/ton for 40% protein in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and 2820 yuan/ton for 42% protein in southern Xinjiang.

  Since the beginning of this week, the spot soybean meal has fallen with the market.

  There is a small rebound in some areas, but the rebound strength is still limited. At present, the spot price of soybean meal is still at a low level of 3500 ~ 3580 yuan/ton, and the price difference with 40% protein cottonseed meal is around 600 yuan/ton, which is far lower than the average level of 1000 yuan/ton, and the price difference with 46% protein cottonseed meal is only 100 yuan/ton, so the cost performance disadvantage is still obvious, which leads some feed factories to modify the formula one after another and reduce the consumption of cottonseed meal.

  As of July 23rd, the ex-factory quotation of rapeseed meal in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was concentrated at 2,980-3,100 yuan/ton, and the contracted pre-sale price of rapeseed meal squeezed by imported rapeseed from coastal factories was 2,900-3,100 yuan/ton, which was 30-3 100 yuan/ton lower than last week. The spot price of rapeseed meal also continued to decline, and the market wait-and-see mood increased, which led to the decline of cotton meal price this week.

  In addition, the recent strong winds and heavy rains in the south have brought certain threats to the domestic aquaculture industry, with slow shipment of cottonseed meal and increased inventory. Therefore, on the whole, it is expected that short-term cottonseed meal will continue to decline due to weak demand, but the expected US soybean speculation in August and the low domestic cottonseed meal output will bring some support to cottonseed meal. The market outlook pays attention to the guidance of soybean meal price trend to the market.
