Distinct personality test Land Rover Range Rover/Range Rover Sport Edition

  [car home Professional Evaluation] In 1947, Mr. Maurice Vilks had a farm on the Red Wharf Bay Island in Anglesey, and he was very eager to have a multi-functional car with the functions of a light tractor and an off-road vehicle. So he outlined the outline of the car on the beach and solemnly named it "Land Rover". A few years later, Land Rover began to build a brand-new Land Rover with the concept of "leisure and urbanization", and finally created the Land Rover Range Rover series. Today, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are the most prominent in the Range Rover series. However, with the launch of a new generation of vehicles, the gap between them is gradually narrowing, especially when they adopt the same platform, the same power system and the same aluminum body technology. Can they still have different personalities? Today I will reveal the answer.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  Today, the Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport Edition we invited use the same 3.0-liter V6 SC supercharged engine, which is matched with the 8-speed automatic manual transmission produced by ZF. However, this does not mean that they will have the same driving experience and riding experience, but the focus is on adjustment.

  Don’t underestimate this V6 engine, even if it is driving a big guy like Range Rover Sport and Range Rover, its power is very abundant. After re-adjustment by engineers, the maximum power of this 3.0-liter supercharged engine has climbed to 340 HP and the maximum torque is 450 Nm. This data has completely surpassed the 3.0-liter supercharged engines of BMW X5 3.0T and Porsche Cayenne Entry Edition, but BMW X5 and Cayenne have done better in the output range of maximum torque. In addition, the new generation Range Rover Sport Edition with all-aluminum body is lighter than X5 and Cayenne. Theoretically, Range Rover Sport Edition should run faster, and the result is indeed true.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  At the moment when the ignition switch is pressed, the two cars show completely different personalities. The exhaust sound of Range Rover Sport Edition is even more shocking. The deep and powerful roar instantly penetrates the air, showing the momentum that a large-displacement engine should have. The restless sound makes it sound more like a performance car, which reflects the positioning of its sport edition. The exhaust sound of Range Rover is much gentler. After all, this is a car that often attends high-end business and administrative occasions. Maturity is its innate temperament.

Acceleration/braking test, dynamic feeling

  Since the Range Rover Sport Edition focuses more on road performance, let’s take a look at its performance in this link. In fact, as early as a few months ago, I personally drove the new generation Range Rover Sport Edition on the country roads in Britain, and I also experienced its powerful four-wheel drive performance in the world’s largest Land Rover Off-road Experience Center. Unfortunately, the V8 and V6 diesel versions were tested at that time, and the strong power performance was self-evident. Today, the power combination of V6 supercharged gasoline engine +8AT still doesn’t disappoint me. Although the power reserve of V6 engine is not as sufficient as that of V8 during daily driving, thanks to the quick response of 8AT gearbox, its overall performance still exceeds my expectations. Whether it is accelerating at the start or accelerating in the middle, the performance of this engine is unambiguous, which is more than enough to push these two big guys.

 ■ 0-100km/h Acceleration Test: Range Rover Sport Victory

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE DynamicLand Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

Home of the carHome of the car

  The specific strength can only be known through actual tests. We have carried out several 0-100km/h acceleration tests on the two cars respectively, and finally the Range Rover Sport Edition won the first prize with a slight advantage of less than 0.2 seconds with better body posture, smaller wind resistance and lighter curb weight at the start. Both cars are much faster than we expected, and the official acceleration results are too conservative (the official 0-100km/h acceleration of Range Rover Sport Edition is 7.2 seconds, and the Range Rover has not been announced).

  In the initial stage, the gearbox limited the torque output, and at the same time, the accelerator and brake pedal were deeply stepped on, and the rotation speed of both cars was maintained at 2500rpm. When the brake pedal is released, the four-wheel drive system distributes the power to the four tires reasonably. During the whole process, the tires hardly slip, and the two behemoths come out like shells. The longitudinal G value of the Range Rover Sport Edition has exceeded 0.8g, and the Range Rover has also exceeded 0.7g..

  However, after the start, the acceleration process of the two cars began to become dull. Even in such a rapid acceleration process, the 8-speed automatic gearbox from ZF was not violent, and every shift in the red line area of 6500rpm was still smooth, which would lose some fun, but ensured good ride comfort.

 ■ Accelerated comparison between Range Rover Sport Edition and its peers.

Home of the car

  Although this huge SUV has excellent acceleration ability, it is difficult for people to feel the pleasure of flying close to the ground. It was not until the moment I read the test results that I realized that these two guys were running so fast, and the Range Rover Sport Edition has already overwhelmed the new generation BMW X5 Canada Edition (test link) that we just tested, becoming the fastest player of this level and this displacement. As for the Range Rover, because it has no clear competitors, the "acceleration and brake comparison at the same level" naturally has nothing to do with it.

  By the way, since two 3.0 SCs are already so fast, is it necessary for consumers to consider the 5.0 SC version with higher displacement? My answer is: yes! Because compared with this V6, the surging power of that V8 can be improved a little bit, and there is no need for the gearbox to downshift when accelerating rapidly. That kind of carefree feeling is only known after trying.

  In the brake test, the results of the two cars are also very close, and the curves are almost coincident. Even the Range Rover with higher body and softer suspension shows a solid and stable foundation. The measured result of 38.69 meters is absolutely excellent for such a huge SUV, while the Range Rover Sport Edition is even better.

Home of the car

  Compared with competitors of the same level, the measured braking performance of Range Rover Sport Edition at 100-0km/h is second only to Mercedes-Benz ML350. Looking at the many million-class SUVs that have been tested before, their performance in braking is not disappointing.

Actual power feeling: Range Rover is comfortable, Range Rover Sport Edition is direct.

  Although the acceleration performance of Range Rover Sport Edition is similar to that of Range Rover, the two cars are quite different in terms of driving experience. The accelerator pedal adjustment of Range Rover Sport Edition is extreme, and the speed pointer can make a quick response when stepping on the accelerator. When accelerating rapidly, the gearbox can quickly downshift to ensure strong torque output. In short, its throttle response is very positive, which requires the driver’s more delicate footwork. With the exciting exhaust sound, the Range Rover Sport Edition can give the driver a strong driving pleasure.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

  Range Rover, on the other hand, is completely opposite. In order to emphasize more comfortable driving experience, engineers deliberately adjust the throttle slightly slowly, and need deeper pedaling action to get the same power output as Range Rover Sport Edition, which will obviously greatly reduce the driving pleasure of Range Rover, but it also brings more comfortable riding experience. In short, there is absolutely no impulse to race with others when driving a Range Rover, and the VIPs in the back can also enjoy the pleasant journey to their heart’s content.

  From beginning to end, the performance of this 8AT gearbox is conscientious, and the ride comfort during daily driving is almost impeccable. When accelerating rapidly, it will also make a downshift at the first time. Because of the different positioning of the two cars, the designer finally equipped the Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover with different types of shift operating mechanisms, among which the Range Rover Sport Edition is an electronic gear lever, and the Range Rover is a knob shift, and the shift paddles also appeared in the two cars we tested.

  There is little difference in the strength adjustment of the brake pedal, and the biggest difference in braking feeling comes from the different body heights of the two cars. According to official data, the height difference between the two cars is 55mm, but the subjective feeling of sitting in the driver’s seat is even greater than this difference. Range Rover’s tall body and soft suspension make the center of gravity of the vehicle shift more obviously when braking, and there will be some fear in my heart when driving for the first time, but fortunately, the braking strength of the two cars is very uniform and linear, and it can be reliable at critical moments. 

Summary of daily driving experience:

  Although the acceleration and braking performance of the two cars are similar, the overall feeling of the accelerator and brake pedal to the driver is obviously different. Range Rover Sport responds more directly, stepping on the pedal will react immediately, while Range Rover is a little slow, mainly to emphasize comfort.

Chassis feeling, pile winding test and emergency line change test

 Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  After different adjustments, the air suspension also shows a completely different personality. The suspension of Range Rover Sport Edition is much tougher than that of Range Rover Sport Edition, and it will give people more confidence when cornering at high speed. However, the adjustment of Range Rover’s obvious preference for comfort makes it a little overwhelmed, but its performance in filtering road bumps, especially in speed bumps, is far better than that of Range Rover Sport Edition.

Pile winding test: Range Rover Sport Edition performs better, but it is greatly influenced by electronic stability program.

  Many people don’t think it is necessary to test the SUV around the pile. In fact, they also have to face the winding Panshan Road when driving on the same road, and they also need to make hedging actions in an emergency, which is precisely their weakness. We carried out an 18-meter pile winding and emergency parallel test on two SUVs. One is to see if there is a gap between the two cars in sports performance, and the other is to show the performance of the two cars in the face of emergency, so that car buyers can know fairly well.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  Range Rover Sport Edition is slightly better than Range Rover in restraining body roll, and the steering wheel’s directivity is much clearer. However, its body stability control system can not be completely closed, and the intervention point is earlier and the intensity of intervention is stronger than that of Range Rover. In the process of winding piles, every time the limit is approached, the electronic stability system will intervene with great strength, and it is difficult to test the winding piles smoothly. However, for the safety of daily driving, the caution of the electronic system is also understandable.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

  In contrast, Range Rover’s soft suspension and tall body make its posture around the pile very awkward, and the huge shift of center of gravity brings great pressure to the suspension of the left and right front wheels, which also makes the driver feel a little overwhelmed and understeer is very serious. Even if the body stability control system is turned off manually, it will jump out and take the initiative to intervene when necessary, but the electronic system intervention of Range Rover is softer than that of Range Rover Sport.

Emergency line change test: electronic stability system plays the leading role, and the advantages of Range Rover Sport Edition are difficult to play.

Home of the car

  In addition to the pile-winding test, we also made an emergency lane change test comparison between the two cars. The emergency lane change test examines the vehicle’s ability to avoid obstacles while traveling. Because the centers of gravity of Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover are relatively high and the width of the test site is limited, based on the principle of safety,We tested the two cars at a speed of 60 km/h. During the whole test, the driver did not touch the accelerator and brake pedal, and the electronic stability control system was on.

  Range Rover Sport Edition has better directivity when hitting the direction, and the driver can basically feel the direction that the car body is going to travel. The control of the body posture is in place, although there is also understeer, but the response of the front is still timely. Speaking of this, the performance of Range Rover Sport Edition is better than that of Range Rover, but at this time, the electronic stability system intervened again and braked the wheels vigorously, so from the video, the Range Rover Sport Edition passed more reluctantly.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  When the Range Rover entered the first corner, it was quite awkward. The fuzzy directivity made it difficult to grasp the direction of the vehicle. At this moment, the Range Rover did not point to where to drive, but the driver needed to improvise according to the direction of the front of the car. The driver must make a prediction in advance, because the response of the front of the car is always half a beat slow, and the phenomenon of understeer is more serious. Fortunately, the electronic system intervention of Range Rover is not as abrupt as the Range Rover Sport Edition, and the driving rhythm will not be seriously disrupted.

Mountain Road Test Drive: Range Rover Sport Edition has obvious advantages.

  In order to further experience the difference between the two cars on the pavement, we came to a mountain road. Because this Range Rover Sport Edition has no dynamic driving mode (only available in the 5.0 V8 SC model) and has no dynamic active rear axle limited slip differential, its driving pleasure will be greatly reduced compared with the V8 version. Even so, driving this Range Rover Sport Edition on a mountain road is much more leisurely than Range Rover. If the full road condition feedback system is set to highway or AUTO mode, the air suspension will be automatically adjusted to the most suitable height and hardness to ensure a more stable performance when cornering. Sensitive accelerator pedal and crisp shifting action will enhance the driver’s confidence.

  If you want its dynamic response to be more positive, then shift into the S gear, and the gearbox will delay the upshift, so as to ensure that the engine has the most abundant dynamic performance. At this time, any slight action you apply to the throttle will stimulate it, and the slightly heavy steering direction is better than the Range Rover. If it’s not fun enough, you can also get excited for a while by turning the shift paddle behind the steering wheel, quick response and large gear font on the dashboard. Of course, don’t expect too much from the handling of the Range Rover Sport Edition. After all, it’s just an SUV, and its bending ability can’t be compared with that of a sports car.

  Being in the Range Rover, the whole person becomes nervous instantly, and you will feel that you are driving a monster at this time. Yes, you will feel this way when driving a Range Rover. Perhaps many people think that Range Rover is irreplaceable because they like the feeling of being above others. Unfortunately, I am not interested in it. The winding mountain road is a nightmare for Range Rover. Although the support strength of the rear suspension is strong enough, the overall soft adjustment will still make the driver’s palm sweat. The slightly slow adjustment of the accelerator pedal will also seriously damage the driver’s mood here, because its rhythm will always be half a beat slower, thus affecting the driver’s judgment on the corner. I don’t think anyone here will miss the feeling of driving like a luxury yacht, not to mention the thoughts of the back passengers swaying left and right at the moment. As for the shift paddles, I have no scruples, and it doesn’t mean much whether the shift paddles appear or not for this comfortable model.

Fuel consumption test: Range Rover Sport wins

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SEHome of the carHome of the carHome of the car

  Consumers who buy Range Rover or Range Rover Sport Edition may not care too much about the average fuel consumption of these two cars, because local tyrants will never be stingy with that oil money. On the contrary, for onlookers, I’d like to see how amazing these two cars will be in this link. During the whole fuel consumption test, we experienced various road conditions, such as mountain roads, expressways, urban loops and congestion. Each car has three passengers. The final measured comprehensive fuel consumption of Range Rover Sport Edition is 15.52L/100km, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of Range Rover is 16.07L/100km, which is higher than the average fuel consumption displayed by the driving computer. Among them, mountain roads and city streets are relatively oil-consuming sections. Generally speaking, the fuel consumption results of the two cars are in line with my expectations.

Summary of chassis handling:

  Through the test drive on the mountain road, we found that the chassis suspension of Range Rover Sport Edition is tougher and the cornering posture is better, and the feedback strength of the steering wheel and the directivity of the front of the car also reflect the sports characteristics. On the contrary, Range Rover is obviously inclined to comfort, with soft suspension and fuzzy direction, which is not suitable for intense driving on mountain roads. However, there is not much difference in the speed of the two cars in the limit state in the actual tests of winding piles and emergency lane change. In other words, there is no obvious difference in handling between the two cars from the outside, which is mainly because the electronic stability system of Range Rover Sport will cause too much interference to the driver, resulting in its failure to exert its full limit.

Four-wheel drive structure: basically the same.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  As we all know, both Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover are equipped with full-time intelligent four-wheel drive system and powerful second-generation all-terrain feedback system. Users only need to choose the corresponding driving mode and control the throttle and direction, and the next difficulties and obstacles will be fully handed over to the vehicle itself to overcome. It’s like a fool’s camera. Even if you don’t know how to take pictures, you can still take wonderful pictures. However, do you know what kind of complicated four-wheel drive structure is hidden under this seemingly stupid operation knob?

Home of the car

"The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Edition of this test drive all adopt this four-wheel drive structure."

  First of all, let’s look at the Range Rover Sport Edition. It can be equipped with two full-time four-wheel drive systems. The central differential with strong off-road capability is a multi-plate clutch structure with low gear. By default, the system distributes the torque evenly in the ratio of 50: 50. According to the change of the combination of multiple clutches, the power distribution of the front and rear axles can be 100% respectively, and the electronic traction control system will also play an auxiliary role. Low gear ensures excellent off-road ability, and can provide 2.93:1 driving force at low gear.

Home of the car

"Range Rover Sport Edition can also be equipped with a four-wheel drive system with single-speed transfer case and +Torsen central differential structure."

  The weak four-wheel drive system adopts the structure of Torsen central differential, and there is no low gear. The mass of this system is 18kg lighter than that of the previous system, and the ratio of front and rear torque distribution is 42: 58 by default. The setting slightly biased towards the rear drive aims to improve its driving pleasure. At the same time, in order to ensure off-road performance, according to the different road conditions and grip, Torsen differential can adjust the maximum distribution ratio of front and rear wheels to 62% and 78% respectively. Theoretically, this system is weaker than the first one in four-wheel drive performance.

  The Range Rover adopts the first four-wheel drive system, and the two cars we tested this time also use this four-wheel drive system. It is worth mentioning that the above is only the middle part of the whole four-wheel drive system. In fact, in order to further optimize the traction and stability under extreme road conditions, consumers can also choose models with dynamic active rear axle limited slip differential (including Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Edition). The rear axle differential lock will form a powerful four-wheel drive system together with the first four-wheel drive system mentioned above.

  The new generation of Range Rover Sport Edition really makes people sit up and take notice. A few years ago, it was the young boy who was on the same platform as the discovery, but hung the name of Range Rover. Now he has truly shared the resources with his eldest brother Range Rover. The same development platform also uses an all-aluminum body, and the power system and four-wheel drive structure are exactly the same as Range Rover. Not only that, the new generation Range Rover Sport Edition has added another option in the four-wheel drive system. From this point of view, Range Rover Sport Edition has integrated most of the advantages of the new generation Range Rover, and the price is so much cheaper than Range Rover. Is there a sense of value?

Cross-country test

Field test: Range Rover has better passability and stronger electronic slip limit between wheels.

  However, the theory is a theory after all. Even though the bones of the two cars are almost the same, from the actual off-road test, the Range Rover Sport Edition still has to admit defeat in front of Big Brother. First of all, in terms of hardware indicators, Range Rover Sport Edition is inferior to Range Rover in terms of maximum ground clearance, approach angle and wading depth. In addition, in the face of difficult off-road tests, Range Rover will be more calm, while Range Rover Sport will be inferior. Please read on if you don’t believe me.

  Next, let’s drive the shelves of two cars separately to see their respective performances. First of all, we opened two pulley blocks, the left front and the right rear, to simulate the situation of cross shafts. As expected, this project does not pose any threat to these two cars at all, and the whole process is very easy. So we decided to open another set of pulleys to see if the two cars can pass the test smoothly when only one tire has grip.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

  As a result, the Range Rover is still very calm. Even if this car is not equipped with an active rear axle differential lock, after choosing the low-speed four-wheel drive mode, with the powerful electronic auxiliary system, the ability to limit slip between the left and right wheels of the Range Rover is still very strong. When passing through the pulley block slowly, the wheels located in the pulley block will be firmly locked by the electronic system after a short slip, and the left rear wheel will get enough power to help the vehicle pass through the pulley block smoothly.

  The calm performance of Range Rover made me look forward to the Range Rover Sport Edition. I thought that the Range Rover Sport Edition with the same power system and four-wheel drive system could also perform easily, but the result was not the case. For the first time, when three wheels touched the pulley block at the same time, it failed because the electronic system was not involved in time.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  So we decided to start over. The second time, when the vehicle went to the pulley block, the situation was still the same. The electronic system only successfully locked the left front wheel, while the two wheels on the right kept idling. No matter how the driver stepped on the accelerator, the engine could not transmit strong power to the left rear wheel, and the vehicle still could not move. Not only that, because the two wheels on the right side have been idling, and the left front wheel has no adhesion, the whole car body can easily rotate clockwise around the left rear wheel, thus deviating from the driving track. After two failures, the Range Rover Sport Edition finally succeeded in the third challenge. Overall, the whole process is not as easy as Range Rover.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

  Since the same power system is adopted, why do the two cars have different performances when facing three open pulley blocks? I’m afraid the reason is that the two cars have different settings for electronic auxiliary systems. During this test, we can clearly feel that the electronic auxiliary braking of Range Rover is very timely and accurate. The Range Rover Sport Edition is a little hesitant, and the braking force is not enough and the power distribution is not accurate enough. This is probably related to the positioning of the two cars. After all, the Range Rover Sport Edition is more focused on road handling. Under the premise of not affecting safety, the vehicle gives the driver more freedom, so it is not difficult to understand that the timeliness of electronic system intervention is not as good as that of Range Rover.

Field test: Range Rover is easier for the same project.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  The excellent performance of Range Rover in the above site test is obvious to all, and the Range Rover Sport Edition barely passed the test despite some difficulty in climbing when facing three pulley blocks on the slope. However, what will happen to the two cars when they really arrive in the suburbs?

  It has been proved that in daily use, 99% of the road conditions that this Range Rover can pass can also pass this Range Rover Sport Edition, but it is not as easy as Range Rover when facing some difficult obstacles. The main reason is that the effective stretching and compression stroke of Range Rover Sport Suspension is not as good as that of Range Rover Sport Suspension, and another reason, as analyzed in the field test section, the involvement degree of electronic auxiliary systems of the two cars is also different.

Summary of cross-country test:

  Although both cars finally passed our site test and field test, from the whole process, Range Rover Sport Edition is obviously not as easy as Range Rover. This is mainly because the electronic system of Range Rover Sport Edition can’t take timely and effective braking when it detects tire slippage. On the contrary, Range Rover is more "old-fashioned" in the distribution of four-wheel power. The suspended or slipping wheels get strong braking, and the power is transferred to the needed wheels, so it is much easier to pass the same project.

  After introducing the performance part, let’s look back at the static performance of the two cars. To tell the truth, I didn’t realize the difference in size between the two cars these days when I was driving them alone. However, when I put the two cars together, the powerful gas field of Range Rover suddenly appeared. At this time, the Range Rover Sport Edition stood by like a young lad, and the two cars seemed to represent different ages of life. The Range Rover Sport Edition was young and green, while the Range Rover was so mature and steady. For Chinese people who always like to be beautiful, the sense of glory brought by Range Rover is incomparable to the Range Rover Sport Edition.

  In addition to the size, in the design of details, Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover also show different personalities. Although the new generation Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover have similar results in the design of headlights, the internal structure of xenon headlights and the light band shape of LED daytime running lights are almost the same, but the headlights of Range Rover Sport Edition are flatter and match with the black mesh (the Dynamic version uses a more cool black mesh, while other versions use a silver mesh), and the overall effect is quite sharp. On the Range Rover, these elements have been pulled up and enlarged, the wide silver mesh is full of domineering, and the headlights with larger sizes also make it look full of energy. In addition, different styles of front bumpers are also in line with the respective positioning of the two cars, one is sporty and the other is administrative.

  Viewed from the side, the new generation Range Rover Sport Edition has brighter lines, and its drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.34, which will be very helpful for reducing fuel consumption. In addition, it also has a lower roof (94mm lower than the previous generation) and an inclined roof contour, which is the most sporty SUV in the Land Rover family so far. In contrast, the Range Rover is more solemn and the body lines are more capable. The classic shark gills air guide holes have been sealed in this generation of cars, just to preserve the classic elements.

  In order to maximize the personalized choice of vehicles, the new generation Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover both provide users with a series of aluminum alloy rim customization options ranging from 19 inches to 22 inches, and consumers of Range Rover Sport Edition can also choose red Brembo brake calipers. The two 3.0L V6 supercharged vehicles we test drive use Pirelli SCORPION VERDE tires with the same specifications of 275/45 R21, which is an SUV tire more suitable for driving on ordinary roads.

        Range Rover Sport Edition Range Rover

  The rear of the car is the biggest difference in appearance between the two cars. The Range Rover Sport Edition draws more lessons from the design style of Aurora. The small and square taillights have a flying wing extension, which echoes the headlights from a distance. In addition to this feature, the taillights of Range Rover still continue the tradition of vertical taillights and have a typical British style. In addition, the design of the rear bumper of Range Rover Sport Edition is not brilliant, perhaps to ensure a good departure angle and thus sacrifice a more sporty visual effect. On the contrary, Range Rover’s hidden tailstock is in line with its own positioning.

Interior experience

  In order to better show the different styles of the two cars, we will introduce the interior part separately.

Range Rover Sport Interior Experience

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  Entering the car, the orange and black interior used in the Range Rover Sport Edition can make people excited. The gray panels, chrome decorative strips and aluminum pedals under the center console and the air outlet of the air conditioner all set off the positioning of the sports version. In recent years, the brand-new interior style of Range Rover family is to reduce the number of keys and knobs as much as possible, and create a luxurious effect in a concise way. Therefore, the interior lines of Range Rover Sport Edition are not complicated, but the sense of science and technology is not inferior at all.

  The 8-inch central control display screen and the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument can display extremely rich contents, and their functions and sense of technology are not inferior to those of several German luxury brands. On the whole, this touch-control in-vehicle infotainment system has left a deep impression on me in two aspects. First, it can display the motion state of the vehicle in detail, which is particularly useful when off-road. Secondly, its interface design is very user-friendly. Although its functions are complicated, it is not difficult to get started.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  The three-spoke steering wheel feels a little hard, and the friction is relatively large. It only takes 2.75 laps to fill it from left to right, which is in line with the positioning of Range Rover Sport. In addition, the Range Rover Sport Edition has greater steering feedback at high speed and more accurate directivity than the Range Rover, which has been introduced in the previous driving session.

  The comfort of the front and rear rows is basically satisfactory, and the seat does not blindly pursue softness and comfort. After all, its name is "Range Rover Sport Edition", so wrapping must also be paid attention to. The two 8-inch screens in the back row are not a bright spot for luxury cars, but the two screens of Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover are connected with the entertainment system in the front row, and passengers in the back row can directly select their favorite programs through the remote control.

  In addition, Range Rover Sport Edition and Range Rover are also equipped with a panoramic sunroof of the same size, which is necessary for this luxury SUV.

Range rover interior experience

  Because the interiors of the two cars share most parts, but the styles and local details are slightly different, we will not repeat what we have experienced before in the next part of introducing the interior of Range Rover.

  Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Edition adopt almost the same central control line design, regardless of the overall color matching of Range Rover and the pattern of decorative plates, the interior becomes more calm, commercial and looks more luxurious. Range Rover’s four-spoke steering wheel is larger in size and turns more than Range Rover Sport Edition, which also leads to fuzzy steering feel. However, the leather steering wheel of Range Rover has a good grip, and the leather on the surface is delicate and soft, which makes people fondle it.

  Whether it is front row comfort or rear row comfort, Range Rover is higher than Range Rover Sport Edition. Its seat is spacious and soft, especially the headrest is fresh in people’s memory. My colleague once described it as "D cup" in the previous test drive article of Range Rover, which shows the comfort. In addition, the front and rear seats of Range Rover are more functional than the Range Rover Sport Edition. The front row can be equipped with seat massage function, and the rear row supports electric backrest angle adjustment, so long-distance travel is no longer tiring.

Night atmosphere lamp

  Do you still remember the seven colors of ambient lights that come with Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars? Land Rover’s engineers are even crazier than Mercedes-Benz. They have provided 10 colors of interior ambience lights for the new Range Rover at once, and they can also adjust the light and shade, but these ambience lights are not available in the Range Rover Sport Edition.

Automatic parking

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

  Land Rover’s first car with automatic parking function was Aurora, and now the two big brothers in the Range Rover family, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover, have finally joined this function. After the actual experience, the automatic parking function of the two cars is very easy to use, the monitoring ability of the sensor is very strong, and the rear of the car can be accurately detected, and finally the vehicle stops very straight. It would be better if the forward parking and warehousing function could be added in the future.

Home of the car

  For a medium and large SUV, the space performance of Range Rover Sport Edition is not satisfactory. The experiencer with a height of 182cm sits in the back row with only one punch in his leg space, which is unacceptable to many domestic consumers.

Home of the car

  Because the length and height of the car body have advantages, the ride space of Range Rover is more spacious than that of Range Rover Sport Edition, but the back leg space of the experiencer is still only one punch and three fingers.

Storage space

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  Before introducing the storage compartment, it is necessary to show you the refrigerator in the central armrest box. The volume of this refrigerator is not small. It can refrigerate four bottles of mineral water and meet the needs of four passengers in the car at the same time in hot summer.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  Other storage spaces of Range Rover Sport Edition are more conventional, and the quantity can fully meet the needs of most people. Unfortunately, neither car is equipped with a glasses case.

  Most storage compartments of Range Rover are the same as those of Range Rover Sport Edition, but in addition, it also has some storage compartments, which makes more rational use of the interior space. For example, its front door is designed with an umbrella slot, and the central control glove box is also divided into upper and lower floors.

Trunk

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition 2014 3.0 V6 SC HSE Dynamic

  The trunk of the Range Rover Sport Edition is very neat and bulky. There are four sliding hooks on the floor. If there is a net bag, it can be fixed, so as not to let the easy-to-roll objects run around.

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

Land Rover Land Rover Range Rover 2014 3.0 V6 SC Vogue SE

  The trunk of Range Rover adopts a more fashionable and practical design of up-and-down door opening, and the rear seats can be controlled to be folded or laid down by pressing buttons. According to our measured data, under normal conditions, the trunk volume of Range Rover is larger than that of Range Rover Sport Edition, but the official data is that Range Rover Sport Edition is larger.

Full text summary:

  As mentioned in the article, the new generation Range Rover Sport Edition has indeed undergone a radical change. It is not only more amazing in appearance and interior, but also has a qualitative leap in driving quality due to its brand-new development platform, all-aluminum body and brand-new power system. However, even so, the future pressure of Range Rover Sport Edition is still very great. After all, the opponents at this level are very strong, and the scene of competing for hegemony will intensify. If you want to win in this war, it is not enough to rely on the product itself.

  On the contrary, the future of Range Rover may be easier. It has comfortable driving experience, strong off-road performance, and most importantly, it has a domineering king atmosphere. Its image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of local tyrants, so even if the price is expensive, some people will be willing to pay for it.

  Frankly speaking, after a detailed evaluation and experience, I still haven’t given a clear win or loss in my mind about the two cars in front of me. After all, they are not competitors themselves, and the purpose of this comparison is only to prove that as two top models of Land Rover, what is the connection between them and what is the difference. As it turns out, under almost the same power system, the two cars still show completely different personalities through different adjustments. One is an expert on the road, and the other is a king in cross-country; One is an athlete galloping in the mountain road, and the other is an elite attending the business club. Although manufacturers have been promoting that they are all-around players in SUVs, it turns out that no car can be truly all-around. When two contradictory things are combined, one party will always make a compromise. If we put aside the perceptual factors, only from the technical content of the two cars, the gap between them is not much, and the difference of 610 thousand yuan is indeed somewhat inflated.

Can Toyota Willanda buy this car? Let’s take a look at the car experience of real car owners.

Some netizens bought one recently.ToyotaWilanda 2023 dual-engine 2.5L E-CVT two-wheel drive distinguished edition,The price of bare cars is 240,000, which is 2023. Can Toyota still buy cars? Let’s take a look at the car experience of real car owners:

Most satisfied: fuel-efficient and spacious.

I have owned Toyota for a month, and I have a lot of mileage every day. Usually commuting to work, picking up and dropping off children, during the six-day drive, Toyota Willanda showed excellent fuel-saving performance. As a typical Japanese car, the proper fuel consumption control has given me longer mileage. This is indeed a big advantage in choosing Japanese brands.

In addition to fuel economy, the spacious space of Toyota Willanda is also a place that makes me happy. The body size seems small, but the interior space is quite spacious. This is a very practical design for a family car. In appearance, the body design is full and attractive, although it is not young, but it is very suitable for mature men.

Most dissatisfied: the hardness of the rear seats is average, and the interior design lacks creativity.

However, in the process of using the car, I also found some shortcomings. The thickness of the rear seat is average, slightly hard and lacking in comfort. As for the interior design, in contrast, some places are too simple, even with some plastic feeling, and the overall texture is slightly insufficient.

Space: The big body leaves you more room for imagination.

Although the body length of Toyota Willanda is moderate (4665x1855x1680), the interior seating space is quite spacious. The wheelbase of 2.7 meters makes the rear passengers have enough leg space, and the overhead space in the car is even more spacious. At the height of 175cm, there are still five fingers on my head. Comfortable seats and enough legroom make long-distance travel easier.

Driving experience: strong and stable power.

In terms of driving, Toyota Willanda’s 2.5L power performance is good. On the flat urban road, the driving performance is stable, especially in areas like Chengdu. The design makes the start smooth, accelerates overtaking rapidly, and the performance on the expressway is also satisfactory. The solid feeling of the chassis and the soft suspension system make the driving feel more comfortable.

Fuel consumption: more fuel saving.

An important reason for choosing Toyota Willanda is to take a fancy to its fuel-saving characteristics. This version further improves the fuel economy on the original basis, providing more convenience for long-term driving.

Appearance: Classic design makes people like it more and more.

In terms of appearance, Toyota Willanda is a kind of mature design at first glance, but over time, the more I look at it, the more I like it. The family-style front design has a strong sense of design, while the cutting design and unique lamp shape of the rear show a sense of atmosphere.

Interior: simple and atmospheric

For interiors, everyone has different preferences. Wilanda’s interior is made of pure black with silver lines, and the whole is simple and atmospheric. Although there is a little plastic feeling, it does not affect the overall aesthetic feeling.

Cost-effective: fuel-efficient and practical, and worth long-term investment.

As a durable and fuel-efficient vehicle, Willanda is a good investment for me, considering its reliability and feasibility of long-term use, although its cost performance is not very high. Prepare to drive for 7-8 years, which should be an easy task for this car.

Configuration: Excellent safety performance

In terms of configuration, Toyota Willanda is equipped with active safety-related configuration, full-speed adaptive cruise, full LED automatic headlights, etc., which provides a more comprehensive driving guarantee.

Generally speaking, Toyota Willanda has excellent performance in fuel economy, space and driving experience. Although there are some minor shortcomings, on the whole, as a household, it has brought me a good car experience.

A bizarre "scandal" occurred in Antarctica. Seals tried to rape emperor penguins.






    Strange: Seals want to mate with penguins.







    Struggle: It took the seal 45 minutes to mate with the emperor penguin, but it was probably disappointing.







    Family reunion? The king penguin in the picture is bigger than the fur seal, and certainly not as easy to bully as the penguin in the article.


    Scientists recently witnessed a natural wonder on Marion Island near the South Pole-a male Antarctic fur seal tried to rape an emperor penguin, but the seal failed in the end, and the "scandal" was captured by scientists.


    Attempted invasion for 45 minutes


    According to Hong Kong’s Wen Wei Po reported on the 4th, the "crime scene" was a beach on Marion Island. The "suspect" was burly and weighed about 100 kilograms, pressing the victim penguin who weighed only 15 kilograms. The infringed penguin kept flapping its wings and tried to get up and escape, but could not escape. The seal pressed the penguin for a while, twitched his lower body back and forth for a while, trying to violence each other, but it took 45 minutes to be helpless, so he had to "borrow water" and didn’t look back at the penguin.


    Scientists don’t know why seals raped penguins, and they don’t know the sex of the victims, but I believe this is the first time that a mammal has attempted to mate with a different species such as vertebrates.


    The South African scientist who filmed this wonder estimated that the violent seal might be a young male seal with no sexual experience. Because it was too young and tender, it was not favored by the female seal, but the sexual desire suddenly surged, so he was hungry and chose a penguin.


    Motivation: lack of sexual experience?


    However, because the mating season of local animals is almost over, scientists speculate that seals may want to hunt penguins at first, but their appetite for penguins has turned into sexual impulses. Debruin, a South African mammal expert, said: "At first glance, we thought that seals would kill penguins." Because Marion Island is the only place in the world where Antarctic fur seals are known to hunt emperor penguins on land, the idea that seals originally tried to hunt penguins was established.


    Scientists also said that it is also possible that seals originally wanted to play with penguins, but during the play, they became lustful.

B-Class Car Review: Who is your Dream Car?

Old irons, let’s talk about B-class cars today. This market is fiercely competitive, and all the powerful people are gearing up and want to compete for their own country. Who is the king of B-class cars? Who is your favorite?

First of all, let’s make it clear, what is a B-class car?

B-class car generally refers to a car with a wheelbase of 7 meters to 9 meters. It is spacious, rich in configuration and relatively close to the people. It is the first choice for many family users. However, the B-class car market is no longer limited to traditional fuel vehicles, and new energy vehicles are gradually emerging, and even some more subdivided markets are derived, such as sports cars and luxury cars.

So, which B-class car is stronger?

Appearance: Who is more handsome?

Appearance design, for a car, is definitely the first impression and the key to attracting attention.

Volkswagen, a classic family-style design, is steady and exquisite, and looks good-looking, but many friends think it is a bit "old-fashioned" and belongs to that kind of good-looking type. The more you look at it, the more you think it has flavor.

Toyota, in recent years, has become younger and more sporty in design and more fashionable in overall style. However, some people think that it pursues "the trend" too much, and it lacks a sense of calmness and overexertion.

Honda, the brand-new Accord, adopts a more radical design, with sharp lines and low body, creating a sense of movement, but some people think it is a bit "grandiose" and not atmospheric enough, that is, it looks amazing at first glance, but it may be aesthetically tired after a long time.

Byd Han, needless to say, the exterior design of this car is definitely "drop-dead gorgeous", especially the Dragon Face design language, which is highly recognizable and has a sense of science and technology. It is definitely a young man’s dish!

To sum up, the design of B-class cars has its own merits, Volkswagen Passat is more stable, Toyota Camry is more fashionable, Honda Accord is more sporty, and BYD Han is full of science and technology.

Old irons, which car design do you prefer? Do you like stability, fashion, sports, or a sense of technology?

Interior: Who is more comfortable?

Interior design is an important indicator of a car’s comfort and sense of technology. After all, it takes a long time to ride, and of course it needs to be comfortable.

Volkswagen Passat, the interior design is quite satisfactory, the materials and workmanship are very good, but the overall style is conservative, lacking some freshness, and it feels a bit "old school".

Toyota Camry, the interior design is relatively simple, but the materials and workmanship are also excellent, and the configuration is relatively rich, which gives people a comfortable overall and is suitable for users who pursue comfort and cost performance.

Honda Accord, the interior design is relatively simple, but the materials and workmanship are slightly general, and the configuration is relatively simple. The overall feeling is relatively ordinary and it feels a bit "plain".

Byd Han, not to mention the interior design, is simple, scientific and luxurious, with excellent materials and workmanship, and is also equipped with a large-size central control panel, full LCD instrument panel, HUD head-up display, etc., which is full of science and technology and full of futuristic feeling.

To sum up, the interior design of B-class cars has its own characteristics. Volkswagen Passat is more stable, Toyota Camry is more comfortable, Honda Accord is more ordinary, and BYD Han has a sense of technology and luxury.

Old irons, what do you value more about the interior? Is it comfort? A sense of technology? Or luxury? Do you prefer simplicity, technology or luxury?

Power article: Who is stronger?

In terms of power, the B-class car should, after all, take into account both daily transportation and occasional high-speed running, and the power should be strong enough.

Volkswagen Passat, which provides 4T and 0T engines, has a relatively stable power performance, which is more than enough to meet the daily driving needs, but its acceleration performance is average, which is suitable for users who pursue comfort and stability.

Toyota Camry, which provides 0L naturally aspirated and 5L naturally aspirated engines, has linear power performance and good fuel economy, but average acceleration performance, and is suitable for users who pursue fuel economy and reliability.

Honda Accord, which provides 5T and 0T engines, has abundant power performance and stronger acceleration performance, but slightly higher fuel consumption, and is suitable for users who pursue power and control.

Byd Han provides pure electric and plug-in hybrid power versions. The pure electric version has strong power and excellent acceleration performance, while the plug-in hybrid version has both power and fuel economy, and the fuel economy is also very good, which is suitable for users who pursue new energy vehicles and a sense of technology.

To sum up, the power performance of B-class cars has its own advantages and disadvantages. Volkswagen Passat is more stable, Toyota Camry is more fuel-efficient, Honda Accord is stronger, and BYD Han has many choices, so you can choose according to your needs.

Old iron, which indicators do you value more about motivation? Is it acceleration performance? Or fuel economy? Do you like the smooth driving experience, or pursue strong power, or want to save fuel?

In addition to the above aspects, there are many places worthy of attention in B-class cars, such as intelligence, safety and so on. Let’s talk about it next time.

Old irons, what do you think of B-class cars? Which car do you think is more worth starting with? What kind of car do you like?

Intelligent articles: Who is smarter?

Volkswagen Passat is also rich in intelligent configuration, but the overall feeling is conservative and lacks some new ideas, just like an old driver with rich experience, but lacking some new tricks.

Toyota Camry, intelligent configuration is more practical, but the overall feeling is more traditional, a bit "conservative", just like an old pedant, knowledgeable, but lacking a little spirituality.

Honda Accord, the intelligent configuration is relatively good, especially the Honda SENSING safety auxiliary system, which has comprehensive functions, but the overall feeling is relatively general, just like a student, who studies hard but lacks some creativity.

Old irons, which aspects of intelligent configuration do you value more? Is it a safety assistance system? Or an intelligent networking system? Is it practical? Or a sense of technology? Do you like the stability of an old driver, the practicality of an old pedant, the comprehensiveness of a student, or the advanced genius?

Security chapter: Who is safer?

Safety is an important factor that cannot be ignored in any car. After all, safety is the most important thing.

Volkswagen Passat, safety has always been the strength of Volkswagen, the body structure is relatively solid, the safety configuration is also relatively rich, and the overall safety is good, just like a battle-hardened warrior, experienced and full of security.

Toyota Camry has high safety, stable body structure, comprehensive safety configuration and excellent overall safety, just like a solid fortress, which is safe, reliable and reassuring.

Honda Accord has excellent safety, solid body structure, rich safety configuration and good overall safety, just like a quick ninja, quick response and nip in the bud.

Get famous as soon as possible! Before Huawei, Samsung released a folding screen mobile phone, which is expensive to cry

Every editor, Wang Jiaqi    

In the field of science and technology, whoever can grab the first place will get more eyeballs, has the voice over, and even more money…

Now that the entire smartphone industry has entered the cold winter, it is time to start a new era. From the current trend, folding screen mobile phones are the next era.

From the quarrel between Xiaomi and Rouyu Technology in January this year to Samsung’s "rush" to Huawei in February, folding screens have become a battleground for mobile phone manufacturers.

However, who can actually fold depends on the product.

Today (February 21), Samsung’s folding screen phone Galaxy Fold was unveiled, summing it up: stunning design, expensive to cry.

At 3 am Beijing time on February 21, Samsung held a new product launch event in San Francisco, USA, and officially released the Galaxy S10 series and the much-anticipated folding screen phone – Galaxy Fold. This is Samsung’s first folding screen phone.

Image source: Samsung official website

The Galaxy Fold has a 7.3-inch folding screen and a 4.6-inch secondary screen, which is folded inside. When the phone is folded, the 4.6-inch (resolution 840×1960 pixels) secondary screen can realize all the operations of the current ordinary smartphone, and the overall operation logic is no different from that of the ordinary phone.

When the screen is turned on, the Galaxy Fold turns into a full-screen tablet, expanding the entire display area to 7.3 inches, and the main display has a resolution of 1536×2152 pixels. When the phone unfolds, apps that were previously running on the small screen will seamlessly switch to their current location, automatically adapting to the larger screen – if you’re looking at a map, then when you unfold the phone, the map will also expand and show more detailed information; if you’re taking a photo, then when you unfold the phone, it will automatically enter a wider editing mode.

The Galaxy Fold can display up to three apps on a single screen, with seamless switching between them.

This is due to the powerful performance of the Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy Fold is equipped with a 7nm SoC, with built-in 12GB RAM + 512GB ROM (UFS 3.0), and a 4380mAh battery.

Unlike the Galaxy S10 series, the Galaxy Fold does not use the latest ultrasonic screen fingerprint technology, but instead uses a side fingerprint to unlock it.

In terms of imaging, the Galaxy Fold machine contains a total of six lenses. Among them, the three rear lenses are 16MP ultra-wide-angle, 12MP standard wide-angle and 12MP telephoto, the front camera on the small screen is 10MP specification, and the front dual-camera specifications in the open state are 10MP ultra-wide-angle and 8MP depth-of-field cameras.

Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is how the phone screen folds. Samsung uses a sophisticated hinge system to reinforce it, hiding multiple interlocking gears in the phone case.

The key point is that the Galaxy Fold starts at $1980 (about 13,377 yuan) and has four color schemes. It will launch an LTE version and a 5G version respectively. It is expected to go on sale on April 26.

After the Note 7 explosion, Samsung’s share of the Chinese market plummeted, from 20% at its peak to 1% today.

Can Samsung rely on folding phones to make a comeback in China?

Some people are not optimistic about this. Today, a CNBC article analyzed that Samsung may be repeating the mistakes of Apple’s mobile phones.

1. The price is too high

In addition to the Galaxy Fold, which starts at $1,980, today Samsung also announced the entry-level Galaxy S10e, which starts at $749; the Galaxy S10, which starts at $899; and the Galaxy S10 +, which starts at $999. Those prices will rise as storage space increases.

Todd Haselton, technology product editor at CNBC, believes that with the longer lifespan of mobile phones, consumers don’t have to replace them as urgently as they used to.

2. Lack of "rigid demand" function

People used to queue up for new phones because they had better cameras, sharper screens and faster data transfer speeds – all must-have features. But that innovation has slowed.

Although Samsung has introduced a more colorful display, a fingerprint reader hidden under the screen, and an interesting feature that allows wireless earphones to be charged on the back of the phone, why would users want to spend another $850 or $999 to upgrade the Galaxy S8, which already has a good display and facial recognition? They are not attractive enough to make consumers spend so much money.

3. Failed miserably in the Chinese market

Apple’s phone shipments in China have plummeted nearly 20% due to pricing issues, but Apple is still on the Chinese market map anyway. But what about Samsung?

Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and other local brands have taken advantage of Apple and Samsung’s mistakes in the market to rise rapidly through affordable mobile phones. It is expected that new products will also be difficult to reverse Samsung’s decline in the Chinese market.

After the Spring Festival, the folding screen + 5G concept ignited the class A share market. Today, 5G concept, Huawei concept, Xiaomi concept, flexible screen concept and other sectors led the rise.

When it came to folding screens last year, it seemed like it was just a gimmick, but this year, after the debate between Xiaomi and Royole Technology "who is the first", and the exposure of Samsung’s patent related to Huawei and Apple’s folding screen, people found that folding screen mobile phones have become a reality.

On October 30 last year, Rouyu Technology released a folding screen hand, the core selling point is "the world’s first foldable flexible screen mobile phone".

On January 23, Lin Bin, co-founder and president of Xiaomi, announced on Weibo that the engineering machine of Xiaomi’s folding screen mobile phone has been launched, accompanied by a demonstration video. In the 200-word introduction, Lin Bin mentioned that Xiaomi "has overcome a series of technical problems such as flexible folding screen technology, four-wheel drive folding shaft technology… After a series of technical problems, we have made the first folding screen mobile phone, which should also be the world’s first dual folding mobile phone".

As a result, Xiaomi became a target for Fan Junchao, vice-president of Royole Technology.

In Moments’ more than 900-word response, Fan Junchao pointed out that Xiaomi’s dual-folding screen mobile phone only used concept flexible screens and engineering prototypes that could not be mass-produced, and claimed that he had conquered flexible display technology, and there was suspicion of plagiarism. In addition to Samsung and LG, other manufacturers around the world are still 108,000 miles away from the launch of the whole machine. The words are quite fierce.

Yesterday (February 20), at the Xiaomi press conference, Lei Jun responded to the matter: "That folding screen is indeed not made by our Xiaomi, but if we turn the folding screen into a product, the workload here is unprecedented. The dual folding screen is definitely the first of Xiaomi."

The battle for folding screen mobile phones is not just a technical issue, but a dark battle over time and order.

Because just one day after Xiaomi’s official exposure (January 24), Huawei Consumer CEO Yu Chengdong said that Huawei will launch a 5G folding screen smartphone at the 2019 Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain from February 25 to 28. Xiaomi’s early exposure beat Huawei by a day.

According to data, Huawei’s previous schedule for the launch of 5G smartphones was June 2019, but now it has been advanced to February.

As a result, Samsung was earlier than Huawei. On January 9, Samsung executives confirmed to the media that Samsung would release a folding display phone in the first half of 2019. Shortly thereafter, the Wall Street Journal received news that on February 20, four days before Huawei’s 5G folding phone was released, Samsung would showcase a foldable screen phone at a new product launch event.

As early as the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Note9 in August 2018, Koh Dong-jin, president of Samsung’s mobile division, said that "it will not let the outside world [wait for the folding screen phone] for too long", because Samsung does not want to lose the title of the world’s first foldable screen phone to others.

Nowadays, Samsung has set the tone for the appearance, performance and price of the folding screen mobile phone. After the release of Huawei and Xiaomi’s mobile phones, the war will really start when consumers choose.

The daily economic news is comprehensive from the APP (reporter: Liu Chunshan), Wall Street news, Chinese entrepreneur magazine, CNBC, etc

K Figure 600733_0]

  "Our experiences go beyond traditionExecutive car benchmark – Maybach! "On August 6, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, chairperson of end point BG, and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, shouted.

  On August 6, Huawei released the new model Hongmeng Zhixing Xiangjie S9 at the Beijing National Stadium. The car was built in cooperation with BAIC Group and is the first smart model of BAIC Group. There are two versions of the new car, priced at 399,800 – 449,800 yuan, which is 50,000 yuan lower than the pre-sale price.

  Positioning the C + class pure electric car, the Enjoy S9 is known for its space, comfort and intelligent configuration. The first Huawei ADS3.0 high-end intelligent driving system and the first zero-gravity seat applied to the car are all core selling points.

  Yu Chengdong said that the Xiangjie S9 is the first flagship sedan of Hongmeng Zhixing, and together with the Wenjie M9, it forms the "Double 9 Flagship". The new car will be partially delivered as early as August 7. "The Xiangjie S9 will reshape the experience in an all-round way. The new car will be listed as soon as it is released, and it will be sold as soon as it is listed."

  Before the launch of the Enjoy S9, Huawei andWith an average price of nearly 500,000 yuan, Wenjie M9 has delivered more than 15,000 units for four consecutive months, ranking first in the sales list of large SUVs. Can Xiangjie S9 replicate the hot sales of Wenjie M9? With the listing of Xiangjie S9, the market may be able to get a glimpse of one or two.

  A big gamble between Huawei and BAIC

  Xiangjie S9 is the first C + class executive sedan under Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing Alliance. It has a length, width and height of 5160mm, 1987mm and 1486mm, and a wheelbase of 3050mm. Yu Chengdong said that thanks to the advantages brought by the interior design, the interior space performance of Xiangjie S9 is significantly better than that of the traditional luxury brand D-class sedan.

  The Enjoy S9 currently has two versions. The two-wheel drive version of the Enjoy S9 Max has a battery life of 816 kilometers and a zero-hundred acceleration of 5.98 seconds; the four-wheel drive version of the Enjoy S9 Ultra has a battery life of 721 kilometers and a zero-hundred acceleration of 3.9 seconds. Both models are equipped withThe ternarySupport for 800VTechnology, combined with the 800V platform, can increase battery life by 200 kilometers in 5 minutes of charging.

  "[This is] the best that the 8th generation production line has produced, the defect rate has reached the level of one billion. "Chairperson and CEO Zeng Yuqun said at the press conference.

  As the first luxury flagship sedan of Hongmeng Zhixing, the Enjoy S9 can be equipped with optional rear zero-gravity seats, car-level projection giant screen, and comes standard with HUAWEI ADS 3.0 high-end intelligent driving system, D-class car exclusive Tuling platform, adjustable air suspension, etc. It is officially claimed that it can provide a more comfortable, stable and safe driving experience.

  The level of assisted driving of the Enjoy S9 has attracted particular attention. As the first model of the HUAWEI ADS 3.0 high-end intelligent driving system, the Enjoy S9 comes standard with 192 lines, and took the lead in applying the new end-to-end architecture. Yu Chengdong said that "it can realize autonomous driving from parking space to parking space, and it can be driven nationwide."

  In the previous live broadcast, Yu Chengdong said that the Xiangjie S9 will compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8L. At the launch site of the new car, he shouted "Beyond Maybach". Maybe traditional luxury brands such as BBA are no longer competitors.

  Xiangjie S9 is not only an important product of Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing, but also BAIC Group and BAICThe masterpiece.

  According to the information provided by BAIC Group, BAIC has tailored the world’s leading intelligent manufacturing factory for the Xiangjie brand, and the overall comprehensive automation rate has reached the industry advanced level. The factory not only has the world’s leading ADS intelligent driving calibration system, but also introduced the "OurHours quality monitoring and sensing system", so that the whole process can be monitored and traced.

  Xiangjie S9 was born in BAIC GroupPlatform. The platform is a pure electric high-end flagship platform independently developed by BAIC Group, which deeply integrates the homologous design of the Mercedes-Benz MRA luxury rear drive platform in engineering design, module development and other parts and the new framework of Darwin 2.0 technology system.

  Xiangjie S9 is also the first blockbuster product launched in cooperation with Huawei after the adjustment of BAIC Group and the top leader of BAIC this year.

  At the end of March this year, Zhang Jianyong, then deputy director of Beijing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and former deputy general manager of BAIC Group, returned to BAIC Group as the group’s party secretary and chairperson. Then in July, Zhang Guofu, former deputy party secretary and executive deputy general manager of BAIC Group, was promoted to the party secretary and general manager of BAIC New Energy.

  Zhang Guofu once revealed to the Times Weekly reporter that Zhang Jianyong attaches great importance to the development of independent new energy brands. "After returning to BAIC Group, Zhang Jianyong’s first stop came to his independent new energy brand –(That is, the parent company of BAIC New Energy). "

  "Working with Huawei this time, we have gathered all the advantageous resources of the whole industry chain, such as BAIC’s R & D and production of complete vehicles, parts, service trade, etc., all in Xiangjie S9," Zhang Jianyong said at the launch of Xiangjie S9 on August 6.

  Can it create a double 9 miracle?

  Xiangjie S9 can be said to be a masterpiece, and it is also a core member of Hongmeng Zhixing’s "Double 9 Flagship". I have asked the M9 "Zhuyu is in the front", what is the future of Xiangjie S9?

  On December 26, 2023, Huawei and jointly released the Q & J M9. The car is positioned as a large new energy SUV, with a total of two versions of pure electric and extended-range hybrid models, priced 469,800-569,800 yuan. Since its listing, Q & J M9 has gained market recognition through excellent spatial performance and intelligent functional experience, and sales have continued to rise.

  Yu Chengdong said that the number of Dading (orders designated to pay the deposit) of the M9 has reached 120,000 in the seven months since its listing. Previously, the M9 has delivered more than 15,000 units for four consecutive months, ranking first in the sales list of large SUVs.

Ask the world M9 picture source:

  Specifically, the Wenjie M9 is equipped with a zero-gravity seat, a laser projection system, Huawei ADS 2.0 high-end intelligent driving system, Huawei Tuling chassis, and dualAt the same time, its body space design and safety performance are also very outstanding.

  Numerous high-end configurations and intelligent functions have significantly improved the travel experience of drivers and passengers. Recently, the Times Weekly reporter found in the test drive experience that the driving experience of the Qinjie M9 is very outstanding, with fast vehicle power response, comfortable chassis adjustment, smooth braking and smooth turning. Even on rainy high-speed sections, the Qinjie M9 can provide a very stable driving experience.

  At the same time, the abundant interior space and leather-wrapped zero-gravity seats, together with the intelligent and smooth in-car interaction system, can provide passengers with a comfortable and intelligent ride experience. Even in the back row, you can enjoy spacious space and flexible control of various entertainment functions in the car.

  To a certain extent, the Xiangjie S9 has space and intelligent functions comparable to the Wenjie M9, and its power performance and safety are also very eye-catching. According to Ji Xuehong, director and professor of the Automotive Industry Innovation Research Center of North China University of Technology, the Xiangjie S9 has a certain market space and is expected to promote the car sales of BAIC New Energy.

  On the other hand, the Enjoy S9 currently only has pure electric models, and whether it can capture the hearts of high-end model consumers with pure electric models alone remains to be seen. However, the application of 800V technology is conducive to improving the energy replenishment efficiency of the Q Jie S9.

  In order to make the name of Enjoy S9, in addition to Zeng Yuqun and Zhang Jianyong, two big names in the industry, Huawei also invited Huang Xiaoming and Gao Ye, two well-known actors, to help out on the spot.

  In addition to enjoy the S9, Yu Chengdong also revealed to the outside world the new version of the M7, namely the M7 PRO. Compared with the M7 ULTRA, the car is expected to be released at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 26. The pre-sale price is 249,800 yuan.

  In addition, in the second half of this year, a number of smart models such as the M8 and the first SUV in Zhijie are also expected to be launched into the market. Overall, Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing’s product scale may reach 7 this year, including the M5, M7, M8, M9, S7, R7 and S9.

  The first smart car brand that cooperates with Huawei also made a public appearance at this press conference, named "Zunjie". "Jianghuai Smart Car is positioned as an ultra-high-end car, Xiangjie is positioned as a high-end car, and Zhijie is positioned as a wide range of mid-range and mid-to-high-end cars, which is a car that can be affordable to a wide range of people. The main focus of Qinjie is on SUVs." Yu Chengdong explained the positioning of the four brands.

  On the one hand, the popularity of the original models, on the other hand, the addition of new models. With the continuous expansion of the product matrix, the outside world is looking forward to more moves by Huawei in the automotive field.

  Huawei’s full-scene ecological map has been expanded again: folding screen mobile phones cover mid-to-high-end, and Hongmeng Zhixing has ushered in the third "world"

  Huawei and others have released vertical folding mobile phones, is it not a good business?

  The latest progress of Hongmeng Zhixing "Zunjie": Huawei has applied for the transfer of trademarks, and Jianghuai "300-person division" has accelerated recruitment
