  Governor of another state: drones attack local houses

  Gladcov said that many buildings, including houses, were thrown explosive devices by drones. The Russian armed forces, the Border Guard, the National Guard and the Federal Security Service jointly took all necessary measures to eliminate Ukrainian saboteurs, and most residents in the Gryvolong district had been evacuated.

  On May 23, local time, the governor of Belgorod, Russia, announced that the Russian air defense system shot down several drones in Belgorod, the capital of the state, and nearby areas. According to preliminary statistics, no casualties were caused, and the specific losses on the ground are being counted by local authorities.

  Belgorod implements "anti-terrorism mechanism"

  Subsequently, the Russian authorities implemented an "anti-terrorism mechanism" in the Belgorod region in the southwest of the country on the 22nd, and implemented a series of special measures and temporary restrictions, including checking personal identity documents and suspending the production and business activities of explosive and radioactive substances and chemical and biological products.

  Gladcov said in a statement: "In order to ensure the safety of citizens in Belgorod, a legal mechanism against terrorism was introduced today."

The Ukrainian state news agency quoted Andrei Yusov, spokesman of the General Intelligence Department of the Ukrainian Ministry of National Defense, as saying that the above actions were carried out by "anti-Russian armed forces" and their military operations in Belgorod were aimed at establishing a "safe zone for protecting Ukrainian civilians".

After the first debate, Trump and Biden both said that they won the American netizens: Anyway, we lost.

  Xinhua News Agency, Washington, September 30 th On the evening of September 29 th, US Eastern Time, US President Trump, who was seeking re-election, held the first TV debate with Democratic presidential candidate Biden, and had a fierce confrontation on the six major issues previously determined for one and a half hours.

  Under the "eyes of the public", the two sides frequently rob words, label, personal attacks and other behaviors. American media and netizens thought that the scene was chaotic and the performance was disappointing. Others commented that no matter who won the first debate, the United States lost anyway.

  On September 29, a video shot in Arlington, Virginia, USA showed that US President Trump (left) and US Democratic presidential candidate Biden participated in the first presidential debate in the 2020 US election. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Jie photo

  "Everyone is talking and no one is listening."

  The first debate was hosted by Chris Wallace, the host of Fox News. In about 90 minutes, Trump and Biden debated six topics, namely, the Federal Supreme Court, COVID-19 epidemic, economy, urban race and violence, their political records and election fairness.

  According to the original rules, the host started each topic with a question, and Trump and Biden each took two minutes to answer, and then they debated each other. The moderator tried to lead a more in-depth discussion However, judging from the live broadcast, the two frequently interrupted each other, and there were many personal attacks. Wallace intervened many times to keep order.

  Judging from the media comments and netizens’ comments, it is a common impression that the scene is chaotic and disappointing.

  During the debate, both candidates kept interrupting each other and even attacked each other with insulting words. For example, Biden called Trump "not smart" and a "clown" who once shut Trump up. Trump called Biden "not smart" and even personally attacked Biden’s family. After the debate, some American media found that many of their statements were misleading, lacking evidence or even completely wrong after fact checking.

  "This debate is like this country, where everyone is talking and no one is listening … … A mess. " Aksil Aosi, a news website, commented immediately after the debate.

  Jack Tapper, the anchor of CNN, said that the debate was like a "car accident scene".

  Some American netizens commented that this may be the first time that American TV viewers are looking forward to inserting advertisements in the program.

  Ian Bremer, chairman of Eurasia Group, said that this was the "worst presidential debate" he had ever seen, and this debate was "a joke, a farce, an embarrassment and a shame".

  Mark hertling, a retired US Lieutenant General, said that the outside world is watching the debate, but I’m afraid it’s as unbelievable as most American audiences.

  "I win" and "America loses"

  Judging from the past, the debate has limited influence on the election. Affected by the epidemic this year, the election campaign failed to be carried out in the traditional way, and the geometry of the impact of the debate on the election remains to be seen.

  However, the two sides clearly understand the gameplay of the election campaign in the new media era, and the end of the live debate is not really the end. After the debate, the two campaign teams have their own strategies and manpower to continue to stir up hot topics, deliver golden sentences and create hot spots for supporters, media, internet and other different groups or platforms, in order to promote the development of public opinion in their own direction.

  After the debate, both the Trump team and the Biden team claimed that they were the better performers in emails sent to their supporters.

  The Trump team said in the email that this debate will "leave a name in the history of history", while the "fake news" media "will only lie".

  The Biden team said in an email that voters, the media and even some Republicans thought Trump had lost the debate.

  Although the debate scene is full of sparks, it is hard to say whether it can arouse the enthusiasm of voters.

  Ford O’Connell, a Republican policy analyst, believes that both sides have tried to mobilize the enthusiasm of their respective ticket positions in the heated debate, but the effect is doubtful.

  It’s hard to say who got the upper hand in the first debate, but many "see through" commentators think that the "loser" is obvious.

  NBC White House reporter Peter Alexander tweeted: "America lost tonight."

  Andrew Yang, a Democrat who participated in the presidential campaign before, said: "I think Biden has the upper hand, but I always feel that the United States has lost."

  Some netizens lamented that this kind of debate only needs one time, and the remaining two rounds need not be done. (Reporter: Liu Yang, Deng Xianlai, Sun Ding, Xu Jianmei; Video: Tan Yixiao, Hu Yousong; Editor: Sun Hao, Wang Fengfeng; Edit: Wang Pei)

41-year-old Rulu compared with 53-year-old NI YAN, it is clear at a glance that God enjoys eating and graduating from class.

The midday sun really served a "hard dish" for the Chinese opera market.

The era drama "Alley People" starred in Hunan Satellite TV, and the ratings of the first three episodes easily broke 2. I believe that as long as the follow-up efforts are given, it is not impossible to break 3 into an explosion.

The play tells the story of the alley life in the family area of Suzhou Cotton Mill in the late 1970s, when Song Ying (Rulu) and Huang Ling (NI YAN) became neighbors and supported each other.

From the creation of chronological texture to the control of plot rhythm, Alley Family gives people a sense of warmth of the times.

The plot does not overemphasize the content of conflict, but has substance in speech, connecting the different personalities of the two families in series with small things.

In addition, the control and application of the midday sun to the actors are just right.

Li Guangjie, one of the royal male masters, gave a very grounded performance in the play, and the image of a steady and good husband was completely his comfort zone, which made people feel right when they appeared.

However, the most compelling thing about the whole drama is that there are two Mesozoic actresses who are on the same stage, and the acting skills of enjoying food and graduating from classes are clear at a glance.

NI YAN: The acting skills are natural and vivid.

NI YAN, who was slightly tipsy in the red carpet activity, was in a completely different state once he entered the show.

The classic "Legend of Wulin" makes the audience taste good, and the performances in "Pi", "Putting on a Stage" and Minning Town are unforgettable. Her acting skills are solid and her performances are full of substitution.

In the play, Huang Ling, played by NI YAN, looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman with a large family, gentle personality and simple and practical manner.

NI YAN has the breath of loving mother, so as soon as she appears, she has the magic that makes people travel through time and space, and the role suddenly stands, even without language, and you can see the weather-beaten characters from those eyes.

Laughing at Song Ying, who felt guilty about her son, Huang Ling looked at each other crying and laughing, embarrassed, and told each other with a gentle smile that everything had been turned over, and life would be better now and in the future.

The voice seems to be a calming force. NI YAN’s portrayal of Huang Ling is vivid and natural, and the performance of flowing water is all feelings without skills.

When I finally bought meat, I learned that my mother-in-law and others had heard of it. Huang Ling’s face changed immediately. From a bright smile to a full face of disgust, the radian of her mouth seemed to have not changed, but it gave people the opposite feeling.

Quarrel with her husband because of the quantitative problem, Huang Ling changed her gentleness and kindness, pulled out her neck and shouted loudly, and generate showed a strong aura of being a mother.

The role of Huang Ling seems ordinary, but she has a stubborn spirit. Sometimes her words don’t need to be said, which makes people feel the subtext intuitively.

Moreover, NI YAN properly balances the character that the role is bitter and he can’t suffer from children.

Every emotional outburst of hers is not aimless, but well-founded, and full of resentment seems to vent the grievances of previous years.

There is no trace of performance in every move, just like a character coming out of a novel, which easily shows the characteristics of the role to the audience.

NI YAN, who lived near Xi ‘an Film Studio since childhood and was influenced by the artistic atmosphere, transferred from the literary and art soldiers to the performance department of the PLA Art Academy.

Years of drama performances have made her acting more solid, and after she officially entered the acting career, she has soared step by step. NI YAN, who is a trained person, has no equal control over the role, and the role of Huang Ling is full of charm in her hands.

Rulu: God rewards food, which is smart and lively.

In The Alley Family, Song Ying is a fierce female character, some of whom are unreasonable, but her nature is not bad. And the role in Rulu’s hands, just like a replica of Nian Shilan, the strength of the role was just right by her.

Because the factory threatened to give itself a room by quarreling, the leader decided to cancel Song Ying’s one-year evaluation and advanced molecular selection.

Song Ying, who talked about it at the dinner table, pretended not to care, and even smiled, but her eyes could not hide her loneliness.

In order to cover up her sadness, Song Ying bowed her head and ate her face, feeling that her tears were going to hold back at this moment.

You know, in those days, it was a glorious thing to award prizes and evaluate excellent ones.

However, Song Ying lived better for her family, and her son could have a bedroom of his own, pretending to be provocative. Even if his goal was achieved, his heart was full of regrets.

So when she looked at the certificate her son drew for herself, she finally couldn’t help crying.

In Rulu’s body, the audience can clearly see the flesh and blood of the character, her forbearance, and her fierceness are all for the better life of her family, and her fresh vitality makes people look very happy.

When watching her son finally have a playmate, Song Ying’s eyes were gratified and moved, and she looked at it with her neck slightly pulled out, and the inner guilt and distress of the character were conveyed.

With a relaxed face, I told Huang Ling how sensible my son was. I used to have a good time alone. My face was full of pride and smile, but my eyes were full of sufferings.

It seems that I can’t go on. Song Ying took a deep breath, and the flustered expression and movements made the audience outside the screen couldn’t help crying.

Although her style is careless, Song Ying also has a soft heart. Rulu’s performance really broke the audience’s heart, but she couldn’t help but sob. The sense of substitution was too strong.

Graduated from Henan Vocational College of Art ‌ Rulu, who didn’t get into Chinese opera, went to perform in art, and then decided to drift north in order to fulfill her dream of performing arts.

Non-trained graduates, but their acting skills are stronger than those of some trained actors. Rulu’s performance makes people watch and cry.

In the past two years, Jiang Xin hasn’t encountered any big-bang works that can give full play to his own strength, and this "Alley Family" makes the audience see the personality charm of "Empress Hua Fei" again.

I believe that with Rulu’s acting skills, it is not far away to win mainstream awards.

tag

Seeing Rulu and NI YAN on the same stage, it is clear at a glance that they are trained and rewarded by God.

As an actor, the most important thing is empathy with the role. The performance skills are just icing on the cake, and the performance that is really brought into the role can best resonate with the audience.

NI YAN’s acting skills are well-known. After years of precipitation and accumulation, her acting skills have already reached the point of perfection, and her performance in the play makes people feel as natural as drinking plain boiled water.

And Rulu can share equally with NI YAN’s performance. It has to be said that besides God’s food, Rulu’s efforts are also indispensable.

Now "Alley People" is still being broadcasted, and the story between Song Ying and Huang Ling, two good girlfriends, has just begun. Subsequent scenes of Rulu and NI YAN will only be more brilliant, and highlights are indispensable, which is really exciting.

So, which character do you prefer in the play?

In addition, the brand’s universal model, Volkswagen launches a derivative car, then Skoda will have one, and Audi may have another. Such a powerful derivative ability is amazing.

We hope that the arrival of front-drive models will also bring about such changes." The launch of many low-cost entry-level front-drive models will also play an important role in BMW’s sales growth in the future. Judging from BMW’s tradition of pursuing sports, the editor believes that these front-drive models will continue to be BMW’s sporty characteristics under BMW’s adjustment in the future, and everyone should not worry.

In line with the current trend of fewer cylinders and smaller displacements, VEA’s new direct injection gasoline and diesel engines will become the main powertrain of Volvo in the future. The 3- and 4-cylinder engine families will become the core of Volvo’s future powertrain, while the existing 5- and 6-cylinder engine assemblies may be phased out.

  This engine is mounted vertically on the MRA platform, matched with a 7G-tronic gearbox; in the MFA platform, it is matched with a 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox. One engine can be applied to both horizontal and vertical platforms, which is the embodiment of Mercedes-Benz’s modular strategy. 

Conclusion: Modular platformization = short-term large investment, long-term high returns

  At present, car companies are vigorously promoting platform-based production and research and development, and there are many new products. We have only selected 19 representative products for you to see above. After reading today’s article, you may find that why are so many manufacturers promoting platform-based production? In fact, in simple terms, platform-based production can achieve long-term high-profit growth through short-term investment.

  For reference, Volkswagen’s modular horizontal module platform MQB platform released in 2012 cost nearly $70 billion to build (Morgan Stanley valuation), and is expected to save $19 billion per year by 2019, with a project gross profit of nearly 10%. Such high profits are also an important reason why the majority of manufacturers are promoting the development of this technology. But in any case, we still support the arrival of modular production, because after all, we can choose more and better products. (Compiler/Autohome Wang Yin)

Analysis | These two courier companies have announced price increases one after another. What are the reasons?

  CCTV News:On the evening of October 10th, ZTO Express official WeChat published a Letter to Customers, which clearly indicated that ZTO Express Group decided to raise the express delivery price from now on due to the increase of transportation cost, labor cost and raw material price.

  Zhongtong and Yunda successively announced price increases.

  At present, Zhongtong has not announced the price increase in official website. The reporter asked ZTO Express by making an appointment for express delivery, and found that the price of an ordinary document from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province to Shanghai was raised from 10 yuan to 13 yuan, and the express delivery fee from Nanchang to Beijing was raised from 15 yuan to 18 yuan. In addition, the express fee from Nanchang to most parts of the country has also increased 3 yuan money.

  Today, Yunda Express also released the "Customer Notice" announcing the price increase in official website, saying that due to the rising labor, materials and operating costs, the express price will be adjusted from now on.

  Considering the close relationship between the "Tongda Department" express delivery companies, some analysts believe that the possibility of several other private express delivery companies to follow up the price increase is not ruled out.

  Why the price increase? Rising labor costs and raw materials

  In the price increase announcements of the two courier companies, it is mentioned that the price increase is affected by the "labor cost increase". In fact, as early as June 1 this year, Yuantong, Shentong, Zhongtong, Yunda, Best Express and Tiantian Express collectively raised the express delivery fee by 0.15 yuan/ticket on the original basis. Receiving and dispatching are the main income sources of express delivery outlets, and the increase of dispatching fees means the increase of labor costs.

  For the collective dispatch fees of several express delivery companies, Xu Jianguo, vice president of Tiantian Express Network, once said that "this is an initiative that can stabilize the end staff and ensure customer needs."

  At the beginning of the year, the media reported that many couriers switched to delivery in order to increase their income, which caused the loss of personnel in the express delivery industry. The popular saying that "couriers earn tens of thousands of dollars a month" has also been falsified by data: On April 28th this year, the "Survey Results of E-commerce Logistics and Express Employees in China in 2017" released by China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing showed that 74.6% of e-commerce logistics and express employees earned an average monthly income of 3,001-5,000 yuan, and 14.94% earned 5,001-6,000 yuan.

  In addition to the increase in labor costs, the "rising price of raw materials" mentioned by Zhongtong and Yunda in the announcement actually refers to the rising price of cartons. Affected by rising prices of raw and auxiliary materials and decreasing supply, the price of packaging paper such as corrugated paper has more than doubled year-on-year, so the price of a carton has increased by 0.2 to 0.5 yuan.

  After the announcement of the price increase, the share price of the courier company rose.

  After the price increase was announced last night, the share price of ZTO Express listed in the US stock market rose by 5.6%, and its market value increased by 545 million US dollars a day (about 3.587 billion yuan). On the morning of October 11th, the share prices of four express delivery companies listed on the A-share market all rose, among which the share price of Yunda, which has publicly announced the price increase, rose the most. The total market value of five listed express delivery companies increased by 11.955 billion yuan.

  Bohai Securities: A-share market is about to enterVacuum period

  Bohai securitiesIt is pointed out that the A-share market is about to enter a performance vacuum period. At this stage, the strength of short-term closing data is of little significance, and the fundamental information that can help long-term judgment will be more important. With the weakening of base fluctuation, economic fundamentals will face a more sustainable chain expansion process. The improvement of residents’ balance sheets will also boost the resilience of future demand recovery and enhance the medium and long-term expectations of fundamentals. In terms of industry allocation, at present, the valuation of most industries is basically in the bottom area, and there are not many fundamental catalytic factors in the performance vacuum period. Therefore, looking ahead, the driving factor at the industry level in January may still come from the capital side. Thematic opportunities at the industry level are expected to be active, and we can pay attention to the TMT plate with the electronics industry as the core under the trend of AI model from cloud to end industry, as well as the investment opportunities in the big financial, transportation and pharmaceutical industries brought by medium and long-term capital entry.

9 excellent 4-cylinder engines, more powerful than V8 engines.

Although they look small, these can proudly fight many.

In the past, there was only one way to increase energy. Increase the displacement and the number of cylinders. But now, there is another way to increase motivation, and that is. We no longer live in the era when four-cylinder engines are mainly used for practical daily vehicles. They now power some very fast and high-performance cars. But can they stand the test of V8 engine?

As the traditional platform of the car, the V8 engine still provides power for some of the fastest cars on the market. That is to say, in fact, some four-cylinder engines can compete with traditional V8 engines, which is exciting in itself.

These may not sound the best, and they don’t look like mechanical monsters under the hood, but their power is bigger and much higher than anyone imagined. They lack in size, and these four cylinders make up for the spirit (and turbocharger). There are 10 extraordinary four-cylinder engines, which are more powerful than V8 engines.

Honda Type R is quite good, powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged k20c1. This extraordinary engine can produce 306 horsepower at 6500 rpm, with a torque of 295 lb-ft and 153 horsepower per liter. In order to keep running smoothly, the car also has a high-performance cooling system, which can effectively manage the heat generated by the turbocharger and the intense combustion in the compact four-cylinder engine.

Can you imagine a 4-cylinder engine powerful enough to drive the 7 series? This BMW four-wheel drive sedan needs a powerful engine to complement its unique attributes. Automobile manufacturers are famous for their pursuit of Excellence and exquisite craftsmanship, which makes xDrive iPerformance a very popular choice, largely due to its efficient engine.

Although it may not reach the threshold of 300 horsepower, xDrive can still provide an impressive 255 horsepower, which makes its power/size ratio reach 127 horsepower/liter, and its torque output is also excellent, close to 300 pound-feet. It complies with the emission regulations and takes you anywhere you want.

Equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, it can produce up to 310 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. This powerful 2.5-liter engine has significantly improved its performance, accelerating the car from 0 to 60 in less than 4.8 seconds. This means that this small 2.5-liter engine can produce 124 horsepower per liter, more than 118 horsepower per liter!

One of the reasons why this engine is so excellent is that it is a four-cylinder turbocharged boxer engine instead of an in-line four-cylinder engine. There are only two flat four-cylinder engines in this list. In an in-line four-cylinder engine, when it reaches the top or bottom of the cylinder, the secondary force pushes outward. On the contrary, in a plane four-cylinder engine, the piston moves in the opposite direction, thus balancing these forces. The in-line four-cylinder engine lacks the mechanism to balance these forces, which leads to the decrease of vibration and stability. This explains why a flat four-engine like our 2.5-liter engine runs more smoothly than an in-line four-engine So this car is not only powerful, but also has a smooth engine, which brings great driving pleasure to the driver.

Known for its high-performance cars, this special version goes one step further, providing a balanced combination of power and fuel efficiency in a single engine. The 2.0-liter I-4 provides quite good performance.

Although its output power is only 296 horsepower, slightly lower than 300 horsepower, its torque output has reached 295 pound-feet. Most importantly, this engine is very fuel-efficient. The average fuel consumption of Jaguar F-Pace is 22 miles per gallon when driving in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway. At 150 HP/L, this is a heck engine.

No one is better at turbocharger. 911 threw all the other cars out of the skating rink for a reason. But now we are talking about four cylinders. There is a sense of fashion and elegance, which may make people underestimate its true ability until you uncover its powerful engine.

Porsche took an unconventional approach to the engine of the Cayman S, choosing a four-cylinder boxer design instead of the standard six-cylinder. However, they amplified its performance by adding a turbocharger, which made Cayman very powerful. It has an impressive 350 horsepower and 309 pound-feet of torque.

When you look at this car, it may look like any other car, but once you drive it, it will show its true nature. What impressed people was not its aesthetics and appearance, but its unexpectedly powerful engine.

Under the hood, you will find a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which produces 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque for the 2023 Volkswagen R. Thanks to this engine, it is a typical illusion, combining the traditional daily appearance with a powerful and dynamic engine. Still don’t believe this thing can beat the V8 engine? Golf r will reach 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds.

This is a very iconic engine, which shows that cars can become powerful without extremely high displacement. Mitsubishi Evolution X, though compact in size, proved to be a particularly powerful sedan in its time.

Specially designed for racing cars, this car is recognized as a reliable and efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which produces 291 horsepower and an impressive 300 pound-feet of torque, making its power rise ratio 145.5 horsepower/liter.

This is surprising. Ford is one of the best-selling car brands, and its most popular reason is its trucks and V8. However, cars like the Mustang EcoBoost are under the radar of most car enthusiasts, which is a mistake they made.

Mustang’s 2.3-liter engine can produce 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, and it is one of the highest performance four-cylinder engines at present. This fuel-efficient engine consumes an average of 30 miles per gallon and provides 135 horsepower per liter.

Under the hood, you will find a seemingly typical 2.0-liter four-cylinder in-line four-cylinder engine. But don’t let appearances fool you. Mercedes-Benz made full use of the potential of this four-cylinder engine, making its output power reach an astonishing 416 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. In short, the performance of this engine exceeds that of many six-cylinder engines, and it is very close to the power of V8 engine, with 208 horsepower per liter. This is more than Khyron, which has four turbines and 16 cylinders with a displacement of 8.0 liters.

2024 Guangzhou Auto Show opens, who will win the new round of traffic war?

In a blink of an eye, 2024 entered the countdown, and this year’s last large-scale auto show, Guangzhou Auto Show, also slowly kicked off. Judging from the wind direction of domestic auto shows in recent years, the former wheel circle feast has now turned into a traffic repair field, and a number of wheel circle bosses have turned into auto show street runners, starting to punch cards with their lives, and even the leader in red has become a car model … All kinds of wheel circle operations are dizzying, and all this is just for the sake of traffic.

At present, the layout of the exhibition hall of the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show has been released, so from the perspective of traffic, which exhibition hall will be the most lively? Which is the most deserted? Let’s take a closer look at it.

According to the official information, the Guangzhou Auto Show is planned to use Zone A and Zone D of Guangjiao Club and the outdoor exhibition areas of the two zones, with an exhibition scale of 220,000 square meters. The exhibition scale reached a record high, with 78 first-time cars in the world, including 6 first-time cars from cross-border companies and 1,171 exhibition cars, including 512 new energy vehicles.

Let’s start with area a. The main attractions of Hall 1.1 on the 1st floor of Area A are undoubtedly Geely Galaxy and Volkswagen Group, among which Geely Galaxy will appear on Galaxy Starship 7 at this auto show, which just opened for pre-sale not long ago. At present, there are five models available, and the price for first-aid is 109,800 ~ 142,800 yuan. It is worth noting that Galaxy Starship 7 is the world’s first generation of Raytheon electric hybrid system, with the highest thermal efficiency engine mass-produced in the world, with a thermal efficiency of 46.5%, and the lowest fuel consumption of 3.75 liters per 100 kilometers in its class, with a comprehensive cruising range of 1,420 kilometers. The Volkswagen Group booth is a collection of Volkswagen Anhui, FAW-Volkswagen, Volkswagen imported cars and SAIC Volkswagen, and its family lineup is huge. However, there are not many new models released by Volkswagen at this auto show, and the most interesting probability is the new Volkswagen Golf Family.

Hall 2.1 on the first floor of Zone A is the most crowded hall at this Guangzhou Auto Show, because BYD brand has once again achieved the achievement of pavilion package. There are four major brand exhibition areas in the museum: BYD, Looking Up, Equation Leopard and Looking Up. From low to high, it easily covers tens of thousands to millions, and provides sports cars, hard-core off-road vehicles and other models to meet the needs of consumers at all levels. At the same time, looking up to U7, Tengshi N9, BYD Summer and other new models will also be unveiled at this auto show. In addition, BYD also has an intelligent display area of BYD vehicles, a brand area of BYD and an extreme technical experience area of BYD in the exhibition hall, which will ensure that you have fun and enjoy yourself.

The more interesting brands in Hall 3.1 on the first floor of Zone A are FAW Audi and FAW Hongqi. The former will launch the brand-new Audi A5, which is the renamed and upgraded Audi A4L. The latter will also bring a variety of products at the auto show, including sunflower Guoya. The representative brands of Hall 4.1 and Hall 5.1 on the first floor of Area A mainly include Great Wall, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Among them, the Great Wall will launch or market a new generation of Haval H7, tank 500Hi4-Z, etc., and BMW will bring a variety of new models and special edition cars, such as the new M5, M235L coupe and the new BMW X3. Mercedes-Benz’s lineup is also very strong, with 29 participating models, including all-electric G-class off-road vehicles and new all-electric EQE and other heavyweight models.

Hall 1.2, 2nd floor, Zone A, is an old and powerful area, including Buick, Volvo, FAW Toyota, Lexus and other players, but not many new models have been released. Hall 2.2 on the second floor of Zone A is the Guangzhou Automobile Department’s charter. At present, the decline of Guangzhou Automobile Department is no longer a secret. Both market sales and brand awareness have begun to decline, and there is a high probability that it will not be too hot, but after all, it is in its own base camp, which has the advantage of home court. Maybe there will be many local seniors to join in.

The layout of Hall 3.2 on the second floor of Area A is very interesting. Aouita, Changan Automobile, Deep Blue Automobile, FAW Pentium, Wuling Automobile and Baojun Automobile have achieved the encirclement of Dongfeng Nissan. Hall 4.2 on the 2nd floor of Area A is owned by gallants, and Chery Department is VS SAIC+Dongfeng Department. Although it is 1 to 2, Chery has a high probability of crushing the last two. Hall 5.2 on the second floor of Area A is more interesting to see, such as Dongfeng Honda and Kia. Most of the others are ultra-luxury brands. It is really good to see the ultra-luxury models while watching the family car.

There are only four passenger car exhibition halls in Zone D, but it also includes an automobile industry chain and automobile culture exhibition hall and a commercial vehicle exhibition hall. Hall 17.2, on the second floor of Zone D, which just came up, is where the heavyweight, Le Dao, Xiaomi, Wen Jie and other experts who play traffic gather together. I think it’s necessary to see the red with a bayonet. In addition, Tucki and Warrior, two "popular young people", have a high probability of traffic. Changan Mazda is really out of place in this exhibition hall, but the good news is that it can also rub other people’s traffic.

Hall 18.2, 2nd floor, Zone D is more interesting in HarmonyOS Zhixing and Ideals, among which four brands of HarmonyOS Zhixing will gather together, and the new version of Zhijie S7 and Zhijie R7 extended edition will also be released. Ideally, there are no new cars in the near future, and the L series players are expected to participate in the exhibition. After all, pure electric SUVs will have to wait until next year. In Hall 19.2 on the second floor of Zone D, there are new power players such as Wei Lai, Zero Run and Nezha, as well as familiar players such as Shangjiao Di and Lingke. Among them, the new SUV Zero Run B10 will make its debut at this auto show. The car is provided with AI chips and lidar, and the price range is 100,000 ~ 150,000 yuan. SAIC Audi will release its own pure electric concept car, which will no longer use Audi’s four-ring logo, but use Audi’s English logo. In Hall 20.2, 2nd floor, Zone D, there are players such as Zhi Ji, Ji Krypton, Ji Yue and smart, each of which has a lot of traffic, but there are not many new cars that will be launched or listed, and the most interesting one is smart Elf #5.

Che Shu concluded

As the most important auto show at the end of 2024, at this Guangzhou auto show, all auto companies have tried their best to get consumers’ attention. Generally speaking, the new models that are more interesting at this year’s auto show are mainly new energy vehicles, among which there are many models with heavy new technologies for the first time. If you have time and energy, I suggest you go to the auto show in person to see the new changes of our own brand in recent years!
