[Global Network Reporter Bian Zihao] On the 19th local time, US President Biden attended the Munich Security Conference online. According to the information released on the White House website that day, Biden called on allies to be prepared for "long-term strategic competition with China" when talking about foreign policy at the meeting.

　　"We must be prepared for long-term strategic competition with China. How the United States, Europe and Asia cooperate to ensure peace, defend our common values and promote the prosperity and development of the entire Pacific region will be one of our most important efforts. " Biden said at the meeting.

　　In addition, Biden also said that the competition with China will be fierce, but he "welcomes it". "The competition with China will be fierce. This is what I foresee. I welcome such competition because I believe in the (current) global system, and our partners in Europe, the United States and our Indo-Pacific region have worked together to establish this system in the past 70 years. " Biden said.

　　The South China Morning Post believes that Biden’s statement on that day is one of the clearest signals for the new US administration to release how to treat and deal with Beijing. The report also said that Biden’s speech reflected how great the "political sentiment" of the United States towards China has changed in the past year.

　　On the future development of Sino-US relations, Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, responded earlier that the future direction of Sino-US relations depends on the correct choice made by the US and the joint efforts of both sides. It is imperative that the two sides should work together to eliminate all kinds of interference and obstacles and realize a smooth transition of Sino-US relations. At the same time, we should strive to restart dialogue, get back on track and rebuild mutual trust in the next stage of Sino-US relations along the direction that conforms to the common interests of the two countries and their peoples.

The 2024 Haval Big Dog has advanced in appearance, power, intelligence and other aspects, aiming to stabilize the product position of light off-road track and continuously move towards a broader market blue ocean.

Since its launch in 2020, Haval Big Dog has created a unique label of "3/4 scale" with the concept of "more wild fun than city SUVs and more comfort than hardcore off-road vehicles" to open the light off-road SUV track.

Thanks to the blessing of the "3/4 scale" light off-road concept, the two "locks" of the Haval Big Dog 4WD model are composed of a central limited-slip differential + a rear axle electronically controlled mechanical tooth-embedded differential lock, which can achieve 100% torque output between the wheels on both sides of the rear axle, with strong escape ability; intelligent V3 platform, with the ability to evolve the entire vehicle’s software; intelligent electronically controlled 4WD system can achieve millisecond-level torque distribution response in extreme environments from -40 ° C to 120 ° C. Intelligent dynamic torque distribution characteristics respond instantaneously with changes in vehicle operating conditions, improving vehicle driving comfort and flexibility.

The new 2024 Haval Big Dog is upgraded to 8 driving modes, with new grass/gravel and bump road modes, allowing driving to cover multiple scenarios, meet individual needs, and calmly deal with a variety of terrains.

Appearance design, the 2024 Haval Big Dog adheres to the trendy power aesthetics 3.0 design concept. The new car continues the classic square shape of Haval Big Dog, and the optimization of details injects the harmonious and agile beauty of nature into the new car.

The newly designed "Earth Eye" round LED headlight gives people a deep and natural look and feel experience. The newly designed "Skylight" through-type rear tail light adopts an integrated design for a more holistic sense. The "Rock Shield" through-air intake grille is centered on a rock, and with the new standard, the middle net and the headlight are integrated, which is more atmospheric and more recognizable.

The 2024 Haval Big Dog is still equipped with two power combinations for consumers to choose from. The latest generation of high-power 2.0T engine is matched with the transverse 9DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox developed by Great Wall. The maximum power is increased to 175kW and the maximum torque is increased to 385N · m. The gearbox adopts multi-gear compact structure, highly integrated electronic module, compact synchronizer and other technologies to achieve transmission performance optimization, so that the engine works in a better range, and at the same time makes the vehicle shift smoother, better power performance and more comfortable.

The 1.5T version of the 2024 Haval Big Dog adopts the golden power combination of 1.5GDIT engine + 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission, and the fuel economy is improved. The maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 135kW, and the peak torque of 275N · m can be burst at 1500rpm, which is lower fuel consumption and more efficient.

[2022 Review]

2022 has come to an end, taking stock of FAW Toyota’s 2022, from "the completion of a new EV factory" "the first bZ brand bZ4X mass production" "the first pure electric medium-sized sedan bZ3 officially opened for booking" to create a new journey of the new energy track, to the new crown brand new release, five-dimensional upgrades to fully boost the FAW Toyota brand leap; from tens of millions of vehicles to production, FAW Toyota has entered a new era of tens of millions, to the release of Grivia, filling the gap of FAW Toyota TNGA products in the MPV field. FAW Toyota’s 2022 is extraordinary, and FAW Toyota in 2022 has taken a new leap.

New energy, new track, new journey, FAW Toyota accelerates running

Driven by the national environmental protection double carbon strategy, in 2022, despite the impact of the epidemic, the Chinese auto market for new energy vehicles is growing rapidly.

Among many car companies, FAW Toyota’s new energy chess style is indeed very Toyota. Relying on Toyota’s many years of experience in the field of electrification, in 2005, since FAW Toyota first introduced the hybrid model Prius in China, the pace of comprehensive deployment of electrified new energy has never stopped for more than 10 years, and there is steady progress: hybrid, plug-in hybrid, hydrogen fuel power and pure electric technology are comprehensively developed and all-round layout, HEV, PHEV, FCV, BEV models are fully rolled out and realized. In response to the pain points and difficulties of new energy vehicles, FAW Toyota carefully thinks and formulates countermeasures to eliminate users’ car concerns, and continuously upgrades power and manufacturing technologies. Every step has its own inherent attention and approach.

Not only that, for new things and new technologies, FAW Toyota always starts from the user’s perspective, takes into account the pain points and difficulties of new energy vehicles, carefully thinks and formulates countermeasures to eliminate users’ concerns about car use, and continuously upgrades power and manufacturing technology. It is in this context that FAW Toyota’s new new energy independent factory in Tianjin can come into being and become an important force for it to run faster and faster on the new energy track in the future.

The new energy factory is FAW Toyota’s fifth vehicle production plant. It is a newly built factory under the structure of Toyota e-TNGA. It is equipped with Toyota’s latest BEV platform and focuses on the new energy field. The digital intelligent machine in the new factory is strictly controlled for users in every process, from the precise capture of key parts by intelligent adaptive robots to the use of advanced intelligent equipment and technologies such as laser spiral spot welding and IX electrostatic atomization spraying, so that the user’s vehicle has the concept of being "tailor-made".

In 2022, FAW Toyota’s new bZ brand was released. The first pure electric medium-sized SUV bZ4X was produced based on a new energy factory. Under the empowerment of the e-TNGA architecture, under its handsome and technology-rich appearance, some were designed with consumer needs as the guide.

For example, the e-Axle super drive adopted by Toyota for the first time has improved the interior space and increased the BEV battery space. The maximum cruising range of the vehicle under CLTC conditions can reach 615km, and the minimum energy consumption is only 11.6 kWh per 100 kilometers. It has Toyota’s 25-year-old safety electronic control technology with 0 accidents. The large-capacity battery pack has a strong frame structure, and the unique external coolant structure ensures the safety of the battery pack in the event of a collision, effectively avoiding safety hazards such as spontaneous combustion of the battery. The first pure electric medium-sized sedan bZ3 will also be pre-sold on December 18, 2022. As an important part of the electrification strategy, bZ3 will form a dual layout of FAW Toyota in the electric SUV and sedan market with bZ4X, promoting the new development of brand electrification.

To accelerate the brand’s upward breakthrough, FAW Toyota has more than one way to play

Faced with factors such as consumption upgrades and consumption quality improvements, FAW Toyota accelerated its brand upward, and carried out brand rejuvenation and upgrading of the "original yearning for luxury cars" in people’s hearts. Carry out "strategic rejuvenation" from five dimensions such as product matrix, process level, channel network, service system, and user rights and interests, inherit the "crown-level" quality standard, refresh the "crown-level" pleasant experience, and create a long-lasting and new "crown brand" for users.

As a legendary model series born in 1955, Toyota Crown has undergone 67 years of 15 generations of models, and it has a large following in most core markets around the world. Especially in China and Japan, with a long enough historical background and excellent folk car reputation, the Crown is like a spiritual totem engraved on the scroll of every era.

At the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show, the new Crown SportCross, the brand’s new crown, is on pre-sale, priced at 369,000-429,000 yuan. The new Crown SportCross is the "crown of the younger generation", which inherits the gene of "innovation and challenge", sublimates people’s inherent cognition of the crown, and redefines "future luxury" through simple design. It uses a visually impactful black and gold two-tone body as the main color scheme to create a sharp and dynamic "colorful crown". It is the vanguard of the crown brand’s comprehensive renewal.

Not only that, as the "new flagship of Toyota’s advanced technology", the new Crown SportCross is equipped with a new hybrid system of Toyota’s 2.4T turbocharged engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. Zero hundred acceleration only takes 5.8 seconds, and as long as you press the pedal lightly, you can generate a steady stream of surging power and an exciting sense of pushing your back. With this blessing, the new Crown SportCross dynamic test drive shows super power acceleration performance in the internal road planning straight acceleration and steering control test ride experience; in the curve test drive experience, it shows a relaxed, comfortable and smooth test drive experience.

Another new crown rejuvenation car category representative, the new crown Sedan, condenses the traditional and stable style, and gives users a "first class" comfort with a more atmospheric size pattern, higher quality and higher comfort. Together with Crown Land and Crown Wilfa, these two cars will form a new product matrix covering the four high-end segments of sedans, crossovers, SUVs and MPVs, all-round to meet the constantly updated and iterative high-end user requests. In the future, the crown brand will introduce more new products to fully support the FAW Toyota brand and bring more "heart-pounding" car choices to users.

Not only that, in December 2022, FAW Toyota launched the mid-to-high-end MPV Grivia with "equal emphasis on home and business", creating a new pattern in the luxury field of FAW Toyota. Let us see FAW Toyota’s layout and development in multiple fields and multiple tracks, and also let us see FAW Toyota’s efforts to advance from a national brand to a high-end car brand.

Gryvia takes "CONFIDENT ACTIVE" as the design concept of the model, breaking the user’s stereotype of MPV in one fell swoop, realizing the perfect integration of "high-end luxury" and "dynamic fashion", and is the "new mainstream MPV" to meet the needs of consumers in all scenarios of the new era.

Based on the TNGA-K platform, Grevia has a wide body size of 5175mm × 1995mm × 1785mm, and the overall appearance is ready to go. Golden eye projection LED headlight system, dynamic bee net front grille, the front face of the model is very dynamic and tense. The rhythmic streamlined body is supported by 20-inch cutting aluminum alloy wheels, which not only makes the body ratio more coordinated, but also creates a fashionable and sharp visual impression in the interweaving of light and shadow. The flying wing sports tail, with the "T" shape fluid engraving tail light, brings users a new visual enjoyment.

"Power" is another aspect of Gryvia’s subversion of users’ perception of MPV. The new car is equipped with THS II Toyota 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system, matched with E-CVT electronic continuously variable transmission system, and the comprehensive maximum power is 183kW, which can meet the user’s demand for surging power when driving. At the same time, thanks to FAW Toyota’s world-leading technical strength, Gryvia not only has strong performance, but also takes into account the smoothness of acceleration and outstanding fuel economy. The fuel consumption can reach 5.9L/100km under WLTC conditions. Gryvia is also equipped with front McPherson and rear double fork arm independent suspension, which can effectively filter road feedback, suppress shock, and provide strong support when driving in corners to ensure the comfort of users in the car. The launch of Gryvia not only fills the gap of FAW Toyota TNGA products in the MPV field, but also is an important force for the upward development of the FAW Toyota brand.

conclusion

In 2022, FAW Toyota’s electrification layout accelerated, the brand continued to develop upward, and ushered in a double "ten million" moment reached by tens of millions of vehicles and tens of millions of users, entering a new stage of development. Ten million users will form a strong joint force to help FAW Toyota move into a new era of the brand. FAW Toyota with ten million + miles has an unlimited future. (Advertising)

The new generation of Maiteng retains the classic atmospheric style of its "predecessors" in appearance. Even if it is some distance away from the car, it can still be recognized as a Maiteng according to the approximate outline. In addition, the front of the car is joined for the first time with a through light group, and the illuminated LOGO also makes it more recognizable. The design of the side of the car inherits the classic, and the design of the parallel waist line gives it more layers.

In the rear part of the car, the new generation of Maiteng has done a head-to-tail echo treatment, and the addition of through taillights makes it more delicate. In addition, the new car also has a slightly upturned tail shape above the tail, which also enhances the sense of movement of the whole car.

In terms of details, the new generation of Maiteng headlights use IQ. Light matrix headlights, which are not only brighter, but also look very vivid. There is also a naked radar under the front of the car to further demonstrate its technological attributes. The logo on the rear of the vehicle also supports lighting, which has a higher degree of recognition. In terms of tires, the evaluation car is equipped with Goodyear EAGLE F1 series tires, which have the characteristics of long service life, good drainage and wear resistance. The tire specification is 245/40 R19.

Interior: simple and stylish, full of technological sense

The new generation of Maiteng adopts a more simple and fashionable design in the interior, and joins the passenger entertainment screen for the first time. At the same time, the position of the gear shifting mechanism has also been changed. The previous traditional layout has been replaced by an electronic pocket gear, which not only makes it more convenient to switch gears, but also leaves more storage space in the car. The HUD head-up display can display information such as vehicle speed, traffic signs and navigation to enhance the driving experience.

The review car is equipped with a 15-inch 2K central control screen and a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which gives the car powerful computing power and smooth actual operation. And under the center console, the new generation of Maiteng is also equipped with a wireless charging panel for mobile phones and a heat dissipation port, which has better practicality. In addition, the review car is also equipped with 15 Harman/Kardon Harman card speakers, and the central control screen can also adjust bass, treble and other sound effects, so that it can bring an immersive auditory feast at any time.

In terms of comfort configuration, the evaluation car is equipped with a panoramic sunroof that can be opened. Both the main and passenger seats support 12-way electric adjustment. And the evaluation car is also equipped with front/rear seat heating, which improves the comfort in the car. Although the air conditioner panel is screen touch, the driver in the car can adjust the air conditioner temperature and air volume functions through the voice assistant "Hello Volkswagen" to improve driving safety.

Power: better performance, lower fuel consumption

The review car uses a 2.0T turbocharged engine, which is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. This powertrain has been used for a long time on previous older models, so the quality is relatively reliable. And this time FAW-Volkswagen also added a variable valve lift system to this powertrain, which can ensure smooth intake and improve power performance under different working conditions.

The evaluation car offers four driving modes: economy, comfort, sports and personalization. Among them, the economy mode will start slightly slower, while the comfort mode is moderate, and the acceleration in the middle and rear stages also has a good performance. In the sports mode, the speed response of the whole vehicle is very positive, and if you press the accelerator pedal deeply, it will burst into a strong power. Especially at the start, if you press the accelerator pedal deeply, the evaluation car will even have the sound of ringing tires, and the sound of the engine will also be transmitted into the car, further increasing the driving pleasure. And these are characteristics that new energy vehicles cannot match.

In terms of braking, the adjustment of the brake pedal of the evaluation car should be softer, and there will be some empty positions when you step on it, but with a little contact, you can grasp its braking characteristics. The linear braking output can ensure the comfort of the passengers in the car at any time. In the sports mode, although the braking force comes faster, there is no abrupt feeling, and everything is just right rhythm, which can bring people a pleasant driving experience.

The new generation of Maiteng adopts the combination of front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension, which can handle the vibration caused by bumpy road very well. And FAW-Volkswagen has also made exclusive adjustments for it, so that the driver in the car can get a more comfortable driving experience. However, when continuously passing through the speed bumps, the vibration feedback is more obvious. It is worth mentioning that the roll suppression of the vehicle is significantly improved compared with the old model when cutting and turning at high speed. In terms of NVH, the tire noise and wind noise of the whole vehicle are within an acceptable range, even if it is cruising at a speed of 120km/h, there will not be too much noise into the car.

Space: Diverse layout, comfortable ride

In terms of space experience, after the 175cm-tall experiencer enters the car and adjusts the seat, the front row of the head space is about two punches away, and the space performance is relatively generous. Keeping the front row still, the experiencer comes to the back row, the head space is about one punch, the leg space is about half an arm, and the overall riding space performance of the back row is better.

In terms of storage space, the review car has 14 storage spaces and 4 cup holders, but the rear cup holders are not equipped with limiters. The wireless charging panel of the front mobile phone is located under the center console and is equipped with a heat dissipation port, which is very convenient to hold and put the mobile phone. The internal volume of the front armrest box is reasonable, so it is not a problem to place daily items.

The trunk of the evaluation car is very flat, and it is also expanded to both sides to ensure the placement of daily items. However, the trunk is not equipped with anchor points, 12V power supply, etc., which is a slight pity. It is worth mentioning that the evaluation car is equipped with a non-full-size spare tire. At a time when the new car has abandoned the spare tire and only comes standard with tire repair fluid, it is not bad to provide a spare tire option opportunity.

Security: Rich configuration and high coverage

In terms of safety configuration, the evaluation car is equipped with a relatively complete range of safety features, such as active braking/active safety system, DOW door opening warning, front side airbags, etc. In addition, the 360-degree panoramic image display of the evaluation car is very clear, and it also supports multi-angle viewing, which is convenient for drivers to anticipate the surrounding road conditions in advance.

Summarize:

Through this test drive, it can be seen that the new generation of FAW-Volkswagen Maiteng has indeed undergone many changes. While moving towards a younger age, it has also upgraded its intelligent configuration. Even compared with the current mainstream new energy models, the new generation of Maiteng can be said to be at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence. Upgrades in comfort configuration and safety configuration may help it regain its position as the "leader" of B-class cars.
