SAIC MAXUS G70 and Trumpchi E8, who should choose the two seven-seater MPVs？ The comprehensive strength is revealed
Just after the college entrance examination, one after another, parents take their children to start summer travel. It is necessary to drive a car with a large space when the family goes out to play. At present, many friends will choose a seven-seater MPV for self-driving trips. In this type of car, the SAIC MAXUS G70 and Trumpchi E8 have attracted the attention of many consumers. So which of these two cars is more worth buying? Let’s introduce their configurations today to provide some reference for friends who are ready to buy a car.
SAIC MAXUS G70 is more powerful
SAIC MAXUS G70
Trumpchi E8
When traveling, many friends are not satisfied with simple city walking, but more yearning for better outdoor clocks in some natural ecology, but the road conditions in these places are usually not as good as asphalt roads, and they often need to climb hills, or pass through some non-paved roads. In this case, the car needs to have better power to ensure the driving experience.
From the power point of view, the G70 equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine is very reassuring. The maximum power of this car reaches 172kW, the peak torque reaches 360N · m, and the blessing of the 9AT gearbox makes the driving control easier and silkier. The "three major components" of the Trumpchi E8 seem a little outdated now. The 2.0 engine acceleration performance is average, especially if it exceeds 60km, it feels relatively difficult to drive. If there are more passengers in the car, the driving experience will be discounted.
SAIC MAXUS G70 better matches home scenarios

Trumpchi E8
During travel, the compartment’s spatial performance and interior configuration have a significant impact on driving comfort. In terms of space, the G70 with a size of 4900 * 1885 * 1768mm and a wheelbase of 2960mm performs very well. In addition to being spacious enough, if you choose the 6-seat version, it is also equipped with a 180 ° rotating seat and an extra-long slide rail, allowing users to adjust the direction and position of the seat flexibly, making it more convenient to get on and off or load luggage.
The body size of the Trumpchi E8 is 4920 * 1900 * 1760, the wheelbase is 2930mm, and the space performance is also very bright. The long body and car width make this car slightly restricted when choosing a parking space. In addition, the design of this car does not fully take into account household needs. The side sliding door does not have a sliding door button, it is more inconvenient for passengers to get on and off, and the side sliding door track is not hidden. The whole is more like a commercial vehicle.
G70 security configuration is more in place
SAIC MAXUS G70
Trumpchi E8
Safety is a key aspect of vehicle performance. In this regard, the SAIC MAXUS G70, which is based on the five-star safety standards of Euro NCAP and ANCAP crash tests, makes people feel safe. The white body of this car adopts a closed-loop frame structure with a high-strength steel ratio of more than 80%, which can bring more powerful protection to users. In addition, 4 airbags, 2 extra-long side air curtains up to 2.89m are also designed in the car, and the second and third rows are also equipped with ISOFIX child safety seat interfaces, providing more comprehensive protection for the whole family.
Looking at the Trumpchi E8, the car’s impact resistance and airbag configuration are also very good, but the third row of seats in this car adopts a down-flip design, with a relatively rearward backrest.
The seven-seater MPV has now become the first choice for many families to buy a car. The above two cars perform very well in space, but relatively speaking, the G70 better matches the car needs of home users in terms of power, safety and some design details. At present, if you buy this five-star full-equipped household MPV, you can also enjoy a replacement subsidy of up to 6,000 yuan. In addition to the G70, on June 7, the SAIC MAXUS everyone 7 super hybrid has been listed, which is also very suitable for family travel. Friends who want to buy a seven-seater MPV may wish to contact the local dealer for further information.

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.
Image source: Tencent video screenshot
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.
Image source: Tencent video screenshot
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.
Image source: Photograph Network
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

Dongfeng Motor Group： The vicissitudes of life
From glory to loneliness, from pride to disappointment, it doesn’t take an era at all, a few years is enough. Just like the automotive industry in recent years, it is difficult for anyone at the card table to "win in a breeze".
On July 25, Dongfeng Group shares (HK: 00489) set a 52-week intraday low of HK $2.19/share. As the chairperson of the group, Yang Qing, an old Dongfeng man who is responsible for the group’s performance and market performance, should be under a lot of pressure.
Its shares fell more than 40 per cent in the first half of the year, while the Hang Seng index closed up nearly 4 per cent over the same period, as the group’s chill in capital markets reflected weakness in sales fundamentals that underpin Dongfeng.
Longitudinal point of view, in the first half of this year, the cumulative sales of Dongfeng Group shares increased by 2.2% year-on-year, stopping at one million vehicles for the second consecutive year; recall the same period in 2017/2018, half a year to reach 1.50 million vehicles, the gap is not big.
1 Recognize the reality
In 2024, Dongfeng Group’s share sales target is 2.70 million vehicles, which is the first time in five years that the group has adjusted the annual target to below 3 million vehicles.
But unfortunately, in the three years from 2020 to 2022, the group’s sales target has been higher and higher, but the actual sales achieved have been less and less. Looking at the data in recent years, Dongfeng Group shares reveal a sense of helplessness and unwillingness that "my life is up to me" but cannot be fought.
In 2023, Dongfeng Group’s shares contracted for the first time, lowering the target to 3 million vehicles, but finally reached 2.0882 million vehicles, with a completion rate of less than 70% for the whole year. In 2024, Dongfeng Group shares, which recognized the reality, lowered their expectations again, and this time the annual target was only 2.70 million vehicles.
90.8%, 84.3%, 71.0%, and 69.6% are the target completion rates of Dongfeng Group from 2020 to 2023. The decreasing sales volume and completion rate year by year are like a basin of cold water, which ruthlessly wakes up this old automobile central enterprise with a glorious history.
From Shiyan in northwestern Hubei to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, Dongfeng Motor is facing another critical moment.
2 "days" fade away
The most sobering thing for Dongfeng Group’s shares should be the "not what it used to be" of its two major Japanese joint ventures.
During its heyday (about the past 10 years), the two Japanese joint ventures contributed more than 70% of the group’s sales, making them a veritable sales pillar and profit cow.
In the first half of 2018, Dongfeng Nissan (including Venutian and Infiniti) sold 620,000 vehicles, and now only 330,000 vehicles; compared with the monthly average sales may be more impactful. In five years, its monthly average sales have plummeted from 100,000 vehicles to 50,000 vehicles, reaching the level of "halving".
Weak sales will inevitably be transmitted to the production side, inhibiting the release of production capacity.
According to public information, Dongfeng Nissan’s Guangzhou, Xiangyang, Zhengzhou, Dalian, Changzhou and Wuhan production bases reached 1.60 million vehicles, while last year’s capacity utilization rate was less than 50%. As of the first half of this year, its capacity utilization rate was only 20.6%.
Not long ago, it was reported that Dongfeng Nissan’s Wuhan Yunfeng factory would be used to produce Lantu car soulmates.
Although it is the height of summer, it feels chilling. The era of Japanese brands in full swing has come to an end. The decision to introduce three-cylinder engines may be the historic beginning of Dongfeng Nissan’s decline.
In the face of the strong counterattack of Chinese brands, the "Huohuo Sickle" of the price war, and Dongfeng Nissan, which is lagging behind in the transformation of new energy, have lost their "combat power" and have become the first Japanese brands to bear the brunt.
It is worth mentioning that on June 16, Dongfeng Nissan ushered in 16 million vehicle production and sales milestones on its 21st birthday. General Manager of Dongfeng Nissan, Sekiguchi, released the "Dongfeng Nissan New Struggle · 100 Action Plan". He called on all Dongfeng Nissan employees to strengthen their confidence, anchor their goals, fight with all their fun, and win with all their fun, and jointly open a "new era of enjoyment" for Dongfeng Nissan.
Dongfeng Nissan plans to launch 7 new new energy products by the end of 2026, and the R & D investment will exceed 10 billion yuan in the next three years. The medium and long-term goal is to increase the size of the R & D team to more than 4,000 people…
However, can the grand plan bring Dongfeng Nissan back to the glory of the fuel age?
Compared with Dongfeng Nissan’s cumulative negative sales performance, Dongfeng Honda sold 237,900 vehicles in the first half of this year, up 4.79% year-on-year, outperforming the group’s growth rate. However, as mentioned above, its current sales scale is also facing a serious contraction.
Under the rolling tide of new energy and intelligent transformation, Dongfeng Honda’s meritorious models CR-V and CR-V, even if the price is significantly reduced, it is difficult to return to the previous market position. BYD, Geely Automobile, and Chery’s competing models are on the rise.
In the face of the overall monthly sales of about 30,000 vehicles, the annual sales target of "Dongfeng Honda’s impact on 1 million vehicles" may never be mentioned again.
According to Honda China’s latest news, it will implement capacity optimization in China to accelerate electrification transformation. Among them, Dongfeng Honda plans to suspend production of the second production line with an annual capacity of 240,000 vehicles in November 2024; its new electric factory under construction will be put into operation in September this year, and plans to launch more than 10 pure electric models by 2030.
It is worth mentioning that on July 16, Dongfeng Honda also just celebrated its 21st birthday, only a month away from Dongfeng Nissan.
The transformation is lagging behind, sales are shrinking, overcapacity, and layoffs are causing Japanese brands to face unprecedented challenges.
3 "Dharma" is difficult to apply
In the first half of this year, Shenlong Automobile sold a total of 37,700 vehicles, with an average monthly sales of more than 6,000 vehicles, and the performance was very "stable". It’s just that the market presence is minimal.
In 2022, the monthly sales volume of this French joint venture company can still exceed 10,000 vehicles, but since 2023, it has basically missed 10,000 vehicles, not to mention the easy monthly sales of 50,000 vehicles at its peak.
A year later, he went to the FAW Group to follow the old leader, but the situation of Shenlong Automobile was far from optimistic. In the current extremely rolled-in car market, it was difficult to survive with a sales volume of several thousand vehicles; especially for Shenlong Automobile, new brands and new products emerged one after another.
The current Shenlong Automobile has mainly focused on the user brand "bosom friend" and implemented the "Five Hearts Guardian Action 2.0", including the recent launch of the "Longjing Plan" with JD.com.
For product-level innovation or new actions, Shenlong Automobile has little voice. In the first half of this year, Shenlong Automobile mainly launched the new 408 model of Dongfeng Peugeot, and Dongfeng Citroen 2024 Versailles C5 X & a new version of Travel Extraordinary, nothing more.
If the Japanese joint venture is lagging behind in the new energy track, then Shenlong Automobile can be considered a laggard. It is understood that Shenlong Automobile’s first new energy model will not be officially put into production until 2025.
On July 15, Shenlong Automobile made adjustments to its management. Chen Bin, an "old Dongfeng man", was transferred to FAW and no longer held the position of general manager of the company; Song Hanming was recommended to serve as general manager. Chen Bin was also ordered to take over at the lowest point of Shenlong Automobile and start a disaster. However, the current Shenlong Automobile still makes everyone feel that the stamina is insufficient.
The sales target of 100,000 cars this year may be difficult to achieve.
4 "Self" is constantly strong
Perhaps realizing the "powerlessness" of the joint venture sector, Dongfeng Group shares have poured more effort into their own business.
Dongfeng Yipai, Dongfeng Nano, Dongfeng Fengshen, the three major brands have joined forces to improve the production and sales performance of Dongfeng passenger cars.
Among them, Dongfeng Yipai, which is the core of Dongfeng Motor’s strategic transformation, has launched two models in the first half of this year, namely eπ 007 and eπ 008. It is understood that the second factory in Wuhan mainly produces Dongfeng Yipai. The output of eπ 007 will stabilize at around 3,000 units in July, and will increase to 5,000 units in August as orders grow. The eπ 008, which was officially launched and delivered in June, is also climbing production. The current monthly output has increased to about 5,000 units.
According to the plan, in the next three years, Yipai, Fengshen and Nano will launch 11 new products; and by 2025, the three major product series of the "Dongfeng" brand will break through 700,000 new energy vehicles.
700,000, which is equivalent to the sales of Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Honda last year. Is this going to be "independent and joint venture"?
The answer lies in 2025.
After Dreamer and Chaser, the fourth model of Lantu Automobile will also be launched this year.
In 2023, Lantu Automobile successfully achieved its annual sales target of 50,000 vehicles; in 2024, its sales target is the same as Shenlong Automobile, and it is also 100,000 vehicles. With the addition of new models of Huawei Empower, this goal is not far away.

The failure of the joint venture brand in the Chinese market is not the only one affected by Dongfeng Group. However, it has two major Japanese automakers and a legal system. Dongfeng Motor Group has been hit more strongly, which also led to its first net profit loss in 2023.
Dongfeng Motor Group’s "bug-catching" operation has also continued. Even at the DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION’s mid-year 2024 work conference on July 16, Yang Qing, chairperson and party secretary of the company, emphasized that in the second half of the year, the company must insist on the central inspection and rectification, and put it in a prominent position.
As the saying goes, everything is man-made, and only when people are correct can they do things correctly.
Dongfeng Automobile Group, a central automobile enterprise that often talks about "family and country feelings" and "industry serving the country", carries a heavier mission.
Now that the glory of the joint venture era is in the past, there is no need to miss it. The automotive industry is a marathon, self-improvement, and there are still opportunities in the second half. The national team should be very excited.
The old man is on the verge of a thousand miles. If you don’t fight at this time, when will you wait?!
