Recently, Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automobile Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation in accordance with the requirements of the "Regulations on the Administration of Recall of Defective Automobile Products" and the "Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations on the Administration of Recall of Defective Automobile Products". From September 30, 2019, some domestic Jaguar XEL and XFL series vehicles will be recalled, totaling 6,365 vehicles. The details are as follows:

From September 24, 2018 to May 7, 2019, a total of 4,577 domestic Jaguar XELs were produced.

From September 24, 2018 to May 7, 2019, a total of 1,788 domestic Jaguar XFLs were produced.

Due to parts design and assembly process problems in some vehicles within the scope of this recall, the intercooler tube may fall off the throttle in extreme cases, resulting in the vehicle being turned off during driving or unable to start after stopping, which poses a safety hazard. Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Co., Ltd. will replace the improved intercooler tube for vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge to eliminate safety hazards.

Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automobile Co., Ltd. will notify relevant users of the recall through registered letters, phone calls, text messages and other effective means. Relevant users can call the Jaguar brand Client Server hotline 400-820-8955 through landline or mobile phones for consultation. Users can also log in to China Auto Recall Network (www.qiche365.org.cn) and follow the WeChat official account Auto Three Guarantees and Recall (iautocloud365) for more information. In addition, you can also call the China Auto Recall Network hotline: 010-65537365/010-64696365 to report problems during the implementation of the recall or submit defect clues.

(Text/Pan Yuchen, Editor/Zhou Yuanyuan) Dongfeng Motor has not been peaceful recently. After the wave of government and enterprise subsidies launched by its various brands, its high-end new energy brand Lantu has been troubled again.

On March 9, it was rumored on the Internet that Lantu Auto employees said that the company had started layoffs due to poor sales and continuous losses, involving multiple departments such as outbound calls and sales support. Regarding this rumor, the observer network checked with the relevant person of Lantu, and the other party said that they were not aware of the relevant situation.

According to Sohu Finance, Lantu has denied the rumors, calling them false news, and claiming that this business adjustment is actually a transfer of business within Dongfeng Group, transferring the original Lantu self-operated outbound call business to professional institutions within the group.

However, the recent market feedback from Landmap is indeed unsatisfactory.

According to the official data disclosed by Landmap, in 2022, the company sold a total of 19,400 cars, failing to achieve the annual sales target. At the beginning of last year, Landmap CEO Lu Fang set a sales target of 46,000 cars for the whole year, but it fell to 31,000 cars by the middle of last year. But even so, Landmap’s annual target completion rate is still only 62%.

In the first two months of this year, Landmap sold only 2,655 vehicles. It is worth mentioning that this year’s Spring Festival holiday is in January, but Landmap’s delivery data in February was only 1,107 vehicles, a 28% decrease from January.

At the same time, Lantu’s financial situation is also deep in the quagmire. Dongfeng Motor’s financial report data shows that in the first half of 2022, Lantu achieved revenue of 1.887 billion yuan, an increase of 6.8% year-on-year, but the net loss also reached 738 million yuan, an increase of 5% year-on-year.

Lan Tu’s embarrassment was just a microcosm of Dongfeng Motor’s overall predicament.

According to the data disclosed by Dongfeng Motor, in 2022, the group sold 2.4645 million cars for the whole year, down 11.19% year-on-year. Among them, the passenger car segment sold 2.1532 million cars, down 4.4% year-on-year. From January to February this year, Dongfeng Motor sold 297,000 cars, down 49% year-on-year. Among them, the cumulative sales of passenger cars 217,000 cars, down 51.3% year-on-year.

Specifically, sales at the two Japanese joint ventures, Dongfeng Motor’s main source of profit, have both plummeted. Among them, Dongfeng Nissan sold 101,000 vehicles in January-February this year, down 52.5% year-on-year; Dongfeng Honda sold only 62,000 vehicles in the first two months, down 54.8% year-on-year.

In addition, the French joint venture brand Shenlong Automobile was sluggish, selling only 10,700 vehicles in the first two months, down 48.2% year-on-year.

Dongfeng Automobile’s own brand also fell. Dongfeng passenger car company sold 14,500 vehicles in January-February, down 52% year-on-year; Dongfeng Liuqi sold 17,700 vehicles in January-February, down 45.3% year-on-year.

Faced with the severe market situation, in order to stimulate sales, Hubei Province, where Dongfeng Motor is headquartered a few days ago, jointly launched a large government-enterprise joint car purchase subsidy, including Dongfeng, with a maximum discount of 90,000 yuan. This round of preferential activities involves Dongfeng Honda Civic, Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi and many other hot-selling models in the past. Shenlong Automobile and Dongfeng’s own brands also participated.

In addition, on the eve of this year’s two sessions, the Central Organization Department announced that according to the needs of the work, in accordance with the relevant provisions on the age of central enterprise leaders, the chairperson and party secretary of Zhu Yanfeng Dongfeng Automobile Group would be removed, and the current deputy secretary of the party committee and general manager Yang Qing would preside over Dongfeng work.

　 　 　 China Economic News Network (Xing Rui)From the moment he got the car, he was overwhelmed by this "feather blue". It is said that the first sight is very important, and it is true. The popularity is instantly critical, and at the same time, it is an incomparable pleasure in the mood. Then, the brand is done.

　 　 　　The 11th generation Accord was a new car that went on sale last year. It offered two power modes, the fuel version (four models) and the PHEV version (three models), while the previous generation HEV version was cancelled. There were surprises and regrets. While electrification gave traditional car companies new opportunities and hope, it also left a lot of reluctance and helplessness.

　 　 　　Returning to the theme, this time the test drive is the fuel version 1.5T top model. The fuel version of the 11th generation Accord is divided into 4 configurations, and the price range is 179,800 yuan to 228,800 yuan. According to convention, the test drive is mostly the top version or the medium and high version, which can also reflect its "excellent product strength" to the greatest extent. Of course, most of the main models sold are also concentrated here.

　 　 　　From the appearance design point of view, this car continues Honda’s usual simple style, but you can also feel the "introverted" design. It is still the wing-type LED headlights and LED streamer turn signals, and with the new design elements such as the convergent grille and light group, it is both smart, fashionable, and stable and elegant. At the same time, the pentagram wheel hub, large back shape, and through-the-tail light design also strengthen the sense of movement of the whole vehicle.

　 　 　　Based on Honda’s new architecture, the 11th-generation Accord perfectly integrates high rigidity, low center of gravity, and lightweight characteristics. As a result, the center of gravity of the car is lower, and the driving is more stable. On the road, in the 10,000 cars, its low-lying coupe stance is stronger, and the sporty feeling is also oncoming. Peer reviews say, "This car is both sporty and good-looking, both dynamic and not pompous, just right!"

　 　 　　When you get into the main driver’s seat, the seat will quickly "return", because it has a memory function ("exclusive" to medium and high-end models), and you have to readjust the seat to a comfortable position. At the same time, the main driver’s seat has a four-way electric waist rest to fit comfortably and fill up the experience. The gear handle is equipped with a mechanical gear lever, which is more in line with traditional driving habits.

　 　 　　The interior configuration adopts four-screen linkage, with a 12.3-inch central control screen + 11.5-inch HUD head-up display + 10.2-inch TFT instrument panel + cockpit environment control knob, which is full of technology. Especially the cockpit environment control knob replaces most of the physical buttons under the central control screen, and integrates functions such as rapid cooling, automatic heating and customization, even if it is quick and practical.

　 　 　　In terms of car machines, the 11th generation Accord has also been significantly improved. The Honda Connect4.0 system is awesome in terms of page layout, interaction logic, and UI design. First, the main page display is more "practical", covered with voice, navigation, audio, weather and other common functions or information. Secondly, automatic speech recognition ability and fluency are faster. A "Hello, Honda" can easily wake up the voice assistant to perform route navigation, check the weather, and start AI chat. However, it is a bit controversial that it does not support the current popular continuous automatic speech recognition function, which makes the experience slightly insufficient.

　 　 　　Start with one click, the vibration of the engine is transmitted to the foot, step on the accelerator lightly, start cleanly, accelerate briskly, without the slightest sense of delay, and the linear smooth, and the sense of pushing back is also obvious. Press the accelerator deeply at medium and high speed, the acceleration is slightly delayed, but the power is long. There is no sense of frustration during this period, and the smoothness is excellent. I also tried different driving mode combinations on the way, and the overall feeling is "arbitrary". In addition, the roll control is also quite in place, and the body follows very well, without extra swing.

　 　 　　After the whole test drive, the characteristics of the 11th generation Accord came out: fast power response, sensitive steering, good directivity, a very familiar feeling of "under control". In particular, the texture of the chassis is more prominent, the filtering action and isolation are quite excellent, and the hurdles are passed in one go, without being sloppy, and the handling is very straightforward. It has to be said that Honda’s years of technical accumulation and rich experience have made the Accord’s mechanical quality even more outstanding.

　 　 　　It is worth mentioning that the intelligent driving assistance of this 260 Turbo top model is also awesome. During the test drive, the Honda SENSING 360 safety sensory system played an important role, such as LSF for low-speed following, LKAS for lane keeping assistance, LDW for lane departure reminder, and lane centering and automatic lane change assistance, making full-speed adaptive cruise driving practical and better ensuring driving safety.

　 　 　　Traveling with family and friends will pay more attention to the comfort of the car. Compared with other competitors in the same class, the 11th-generation Accord shows users its super space expansion ability with a 2830mm wheelbase. Of course, this is inseparable from Honda’s unique "MM concept". While the front and rear drivers adjust to a comfortable sitting position, the rear passengers still maintain a large "margin" of legroom, and the riding experience is enough to stand out from competitors in the same class. In addition, the depth and depth of the trunk are commendable.

　 　 　　In addition to the sense of space, another indicator of comfort is NVH. This Accord’s front-row wind and road noise insulation is in place. It is also quieter at high speed, and the rear-row noise insulation is slightly weaker, but it is also within the acceptable range. Engine noise control is also reasonable, taking into account both driving pleasure and ride comfort, which is closely related to its use of active noise reduction technology.

　 　 　　In addition, the 11th generation Accord is equipped with a fatigue driving reminder system as standard, and there are ten airbags in the whole car. Whether it is active safety or passive safety, the 11th generation Accord will arrange it properly. After all, safety is "the greatest happiness of users".

　 　 　　Overall, compared to the previous generation, the 11th generation Accord has inheritance and innovation. Compared with competitors, the 11th generation Accord has technical assistance and space advantages. Of course, as mentioned at the beginning, there are surprises and regrets. I hope Accord will not stop moving forward and keep moving forward.

Recently, reporters from Cars and other media had a detailed conversation with Zhiji Automobile Co-CEO Liu Tao, Executive Director of Software and User Multivariate Touchpoint Li Weimeng, and Executive Director of Vehicle Business Planning Chen Wei. They answered questions in detail about Zhiji Automobile’s listing strategy, corporate research and development, technology iteration, and future development.

At the same time, this interview reveals the profound thinking of Zhiji Automobile in product pricing and market strategy, the importance of user requests, and the planning of future development. In addition, they also emphasize the importance of product quality and technological innovation, believing that this way can meet the actual needs of users.

Pricing strategy: market competition and user requests

▲ Zhiji LS6 price range

First of all, Zhiji Automobile answered the questions related to the price range of LS6 21.49-27 6,900 yuan and brand positioning.

Zhiji Automobile said that the pricing of LS6 is based on market demand. The price range is set taking into account market competition and user requests. Although the price range is relatively large, the company emphasizes that the pricing of LS6 will be flexibly adjusted according to market feedback, order situation and competition of competing products. The company’s goal is to provide high-quality products while maintaining a competitive price level to maintain the brand’s high-end positioning.

Zhiji Automobile explained that on the basis of the initial equity price, the price of LS6 will be adjusted according to market demand, order situation and competition. The company plans to adjust the price policy after November 12 according to the actual changes in the market.

At the same time, when the reporter mentioned the issue of the appeal of the rights and interests of the first launch to users and the market, Zhiji Automobile mentioned that what most attracts users is not only the configuration package or price, but also the performance and technical advantages of the product. LS6 has advanced electric vehicle technology, including a quasi-900V super performance platform, which can provide long-term competitiveness. In addition, LS6 is committed to solving users’ actual travel needs and pain points through technology to provide a better experience. The company also places special emphasis on the core qualities of traditional automobiles, such as driving control quality, body quality and its quality management.

The interview revealed Zhiji Auto’s deep thinking in terms of product pricing and market strategy, as well as their emphasis on product performance and user requests. They emphasized the importance of product quality and technological innovation to meet the actual needs of users.

Second, technological platform advantages: continuous research and development to stay ahead

▲ Zhiji LS6 driver platform

First, as a veteran of "going overseas", SAIC Motor has certain advantages in overseas markets. Zhiji Motor said that since June this year, it has started small-scale exports to test the waters of overseas markets, and plans to achieve exports to mainstream European countries next year. In addition, they have carried out small-scale pilots in South America and the Middle East.

Secondly, when talking about the technology platform and its performance, Zhiji Automobile mentioned that the LS6 under their quasi-900V platform adopts a new generation of hurricane motors, which are adapted to the ultra-high pressure environment, and technical improvements such as ceramic bearings help to increase the speed of the motor. In addition, special cooling channels and tunnel cooling inner rotor design also help to ensure the efficient operation of the motor.

Smart Auto also points out that the energy density of their motors is rather high, which means that under the same weight, the vehicle can provide more power than traditional motors.

In addition, they also said that samples of carbon fiber motors have been completed and will soon enter the development phase.

Finally, when discussing the extreme performance of the car, Zhiji Automobile said that the maximum speed of the production model of the LS6 is calibrated at 252 km/h, but it has reached 305 km/h in dogfooding. This speed has exceeded the 300km/h mark and become the first echelon of domestic SUVs.

III. Autonomous driving: technical strength and localization go hand in hand

▲ Zhiji LS6 interior

Zhiji mentioned at the press conference that the listing rights will be given to users who place an order before November 12, so that they can upgrade to the LS6 Max equipped with lidar in order to use its autonomous driving function. As of the press conference, the LS6 blind order has exceeded 30,000 units.

Zhiji Auto believes that in the Chinese market, SaaS charging or autonomous driving charging faces some difficulties, so their future product strategy will not focus on this aspect. At the same time, Zhiji Auto emphasizes that hardware configuration and intelligence will become standard in future cars. They believe that advanced hardware such as lidar will be the basic requirement for future smart vehicles to provide users with better safety and driving experience.

Zhiji Auto says its vision is to provide a great driving experience, incorporating intelligent features into the vehicle to better serve the driver, reduce blind spots and provide more convenience. They stress that both hardware and software should return to the driving itself to ensure that the vehicle is a high-quality "good car".

Finally, regarding the competition of intelligent driving, Zhiji Automobile believes that they have an advantage in terms of technology iteration speed and cockpit intelligence. They also emphasize caution about autonomous driving functions, emphasizing that they must achieve higher safety than human driving before they go live. They plan to catch up with the industry leaders in the next 3 to 6 months and will continue to work hard to promote the development of technology.

IV. Future development: Hard power guarantees continuous product evolution

▲ Zhiji LS6 side appearance

When the reporter mentioned the competitiveness of Zhiji Automobile in the highly competitive 20 to 300,000 yuan market, Zhiji Automobile explained that the competitiveness of the product is the key, and the product must have the ability to evolve sustainably, including hardware and software iterations.

At the same time, they also emphasize the reasonable price of the product, pointing out that it is not the pursuit of low prices, but within the user’s psychological price range.

In addition, they plan to launch a new, relatively small sedan model within the next 18 months to meet different market demands.

Subsequently, in terms of balancing the relationship between Zhiji Automobile and other new energy models of SAIC, Zhiji Automobile believes that SAIC has multiple passenger car brands, each with different positioning in the market, and Zhiji Automobile, as the highest-end electric vehicle brand of SAIC, forms a complementary relationship with electric vehicle brands in other market segments. They believe that Zhiji’s price is based on market competition and aims to provide users with competitive products.

At the same time, Zhiji Auto added that the pricing of the LS6 is based on market competition and brand strategy, and will not have much impact on the pricing of subsequent models. They stressed that the product iteration speed is very fast, and the product positioning is relatively stable.

Finally, Zhiji Auto mentioned the issue of competition with competitors such as Tesla and Xiaopeng. Zhiji Auto explained that their products have hard power, including new three-electric systems and powertrains, as well as unique intelligent functions. They emphasize that the price, configuration and performance are competitive enough in the market competition. They plan to launch more new models in the next 18 months to meet different market needs.

Conclusion: Down-to-earth, the future is promising

In this conversation, the executives of Smart Auto discussed in depth the key issues of the company’s go-to-market strategy, technological innovation, autonomous driving, and future development.

They not only focus on the highly competitive market, but also focus on providing users with high-quality products, emphasizing the continuous iteration of hardware and software to continuously improve product performance. Zhiji Auto’s global expansion plan and commitment to electric vehicle technology demonstrate their vision and determination in the future.
