01. Three power options, magical body proportions. Does the BYD Sea Lion 07 EV look good?
It’s time for the announcement of the application information again, and the BYD Sea Lion 07 EV is also on the public list. As a member of BYD Ocean Network, the front face of this car naturally incorporates family design elements similar to BYD Seal. However, when you turn to the rear of the car, you will find that its temperament is somewhat similar to the Yuan PLUS, mainly reflected in the contour of the through type tail lights. Anyway, Dynasty Net and Ocean Net have always been the same family.

Another highlight of this car is undoubtedly its crossover design. As an SUV, its length, width, and height dimensions are 4830/1925/1620mm respectively, but its wheelbase reaches 2930mm. The whole car looks wide and low, with smooth lines and a sense of luxury. The sleek and non hunchbacked body contour also looks more beautiful.

In 2023, BYD achieved impressive sales results, with a total annual sales volume of 3.02 million vehicles. Entering 2024, there are still various uncertain factors in the domestic automotive market, but challenges and opportunities coexist. The BYD Haishi 07 EV, a heavyweight model, is believed to make an important contribution to BYD’s overall sales.
02.With more and more suffixes, should the new Volkswagen Tiguan L be called “Tiguan L PRO”?
In the recent declaration information released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, SAIC Volkswagen’s all-new generation Tiguan L is also listed. Interestingly, this car may adopt a brand new name – the Tiguan L PRO, with an additional suffix. It seems that it can be replaced with PLUS, MAX and other similar names in the future.
As a replacement model, it still has a familiar “Volkswagen face” and a strong inheritance. The “big mouth” that crosses the front insurance can be considered a brand new family element, but it is not very out of style. The R-line version, on the other hand, adopts a more aggressive design and a more sporty temperament.
Another design element that can highlight the family style is undoubtedly the through style tail light design, with the internal shape of the light group being red and white, giving it a very straightforward appearance. As for the design of the rear bumper, there are also significant differences between the standard version and the R-line version.
Compared with the current Tiguan L, the size growth of this successor model is not significant, with dimensions of 4735/1842 (1859)/1682mm in length, width, and height, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. Considering that its size has reached the level of a mid size SUV, even if the improvement is not significant, it can still meet the needs of consumers.
The successor model of the Tiguan L will be equipped with a 2.0T engine and offer two tuning options, with a maximum power of 137 kW (approximately 186 horsepower) and 162 kW (approximately 220 horsepower), respectively. In addition to the two wheel drive model, it will also launch a four-wheel drive model equipped with a 4MOTION four-wheel drive system.
Historical sales data of SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L
The sales performance of SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L has always been relatively good, and it has recently resumed its growth momentum. In the traditional fuel joint venture vehicle market, it does have strong competitiveness. However, in the face of the trend of new energy, the focus of Volkswagen’s transformation is more on the ID series pure electric models, and plug-in hybrid models seem to serve as transitional assistance. If this market is also developed, it may accelerate the transformation of new energy to a certain extent.
03 Honda’s pure electric “sisters” is a little fierce in modeling design
The application drawings for Guangzhou Honda e: NP2 Jipai 2 and Dongfeng Honda e: NS2 have recently been released simultaneously. Honda’s “dual car strategy” has been implemented in China for many years and has proven to be successful. Today, this operation is still maintained in the pure electric vehicle field.

Of course, the design differences between the two “sisters cars” are quite obvious. GAC Honda e: NP2 Jipai 2 adopts the shape of crab clamp headlights, and the tail lights echo it. Dongfeng Honda e: NS2’s front face is a bit like Civic, and the headlights adopt more exaggerated fangs, which also echo the through tail lights.

Their body dimensions are also very similar. The length, width, and height of the GAC Honda e: NP2 Jipai 2 are 4787/1838/1570mm respectively, while the Dongfeng Honda e: NS2 is 4788/1838/1570mm. Both have a wheelbase of 2735mm. Not only that, they even have the same front and rear track widths. The front track width is 1545mm, and the rear track width is 1550mm. They all use 225/50R18 95V tires.

Not only that, the drive motors equipped on these two cars are both provided by Weipai Automotive Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., with the code name TZ190HSAMCF61, and a maximum power of 150 kW (about 204 horsepower).

Honda’s “dual car strategy” is to some extent a unique phenomenon in the Chinese market. To simultaneously consider the product layout of the two joint ventures, this operation is obviously the simplest and most efficient. Under the trend of electrification transformation, Honda’s performance is still relatively positive, and it has launched corresponding products based on the characteristics of the Chinese market, accelerating the pace of transformation and entering a new development track.
04 can also be equipped with iron wheels, and the all-new Haval H9 truly understands the needs of off-road players
The official image was released last week, and the application image for the all-new Haval H9 doesn’t look as fresh anymore. But correspondingly, some parameter information related to this car has finally been clearly disclosed this time.
Haval’s all-new generation H9 declaration diagram
The first impression that the all-new Haval H9 gives people is the Haval Raptor, which has been said many times. But the difference is that the all-new Haval H9 is a rugged SUV with a non load bearing body structure.

In addition to the high-end and exquisite version, the all-new Haval H9 also offers a relatively primitive exterior design. The front and rear bumpers retain plastic original colors, the intake grille is not chrome decorated, and steel wheels are also used. For off-road players who originally planned to upgrade, this version actually better meets their needs.

There are three types of data for its body length, namely 4950mm, 5000mm, and 5070mm, while there are two types of data for its width, 1960mm and 1976mm. In fact, the difference is not significant, and the vehicle height is uniformly 1930mm, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. Its tailgate also offers two optional accessories between an external spare tire and a storage backpack, allowing users to choose according to their actual driving needs.

The all-new Haval H9 offers two types of power: gasoline and diesel. The gasoline model is equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine codenamed GW4C20B, with a maximum power of 165 kW (approximately 224 horsepower), while the diesel model is equipped with a 2.4T diesel engine codenamed GW4D24, with a maximum power of 137 kW (approximately 186 horsepower).

Compared with the old H9, the all-new Haval H9 has made significant progress, with many highlights in both design and functionality. In terms of mechanical and off-road performance, it is believed that there are also impressive performances, as the tank brand has already demonstrated the technical strength of Great Wall Motors. If the all-new H9 releases a plug-in hybrid version in the future, the market performance is expected to be even better.
