Podcast del programa emitido en Onda Cero MS el jueves 13 de abril. Arrancamos desgranando los datos de fallecidos en las carreteras durante el puente de la Semana Santa de 2023. Y, lamentablemente, no son buenas cifras. Han fallecido en las carreteras españolas durante estos días 34 personas lo que supone un incremento de 7 muertos sobre las 27 que perecieron en la Semana Santa de 2022. Entramos con nuestro experto Jose Lagunar en detalles para tratar de aclarar porqué sigue subiendo la siniestralidad vial cuando la tecnología es cada vez mayor y los coches cuentas con mayores y mejores ayudas a la conducción. Si quieres saber algo más sobre la seguridad vial en España te recomendamos que acudas a esta lista donde te contamos que es el Semáforo de la Seguridad Vial en España: https://www.ivoox.com/semaforo-seguridad-vial_bk_list_10155486_1.html Conocemos en detalles como son las pruebas que hacen en Renault para que la fiabilidad de sus coches sea cada vez mayor. Y es que después del Megane E-Tech 100% eléctrico en 2020, Austral es el segundo modelo de Renault que se ha sometido a las Confirmation Run. SEsto se trata de un programa de pruebas finales donde el Renault Austral, último lanzamiento de la marca, ha recorrido casi 3 millones de kilómetros por todo tipo de carreteras antes de su lanzamiento comercial. Al volante van probadores que se comportan como futuros clientes. Su objetivo: identificar los puntos de mejora para que Austral, el vehículo más ‘Made in Spain’ de la historia, esté al máximo nivel en términos de placer de conducción, calidad y fiabilidad. En el garaje de AutoFM esta semana aparca un… Probamos el familiar Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake con una imagen realmente atractiva y una gran habitabilidad con su maletero de 565 litros. Todo ello gracias a la plataforma MQB sobre la que está construido y a su motor colocado en posición transversal. Hemos probado el motor diésel de acceso a la gama 2.0 TDI de 150 caballos con caja de cambios DSG y etiqueta C de la DGT. El precio de tarifa de esta variante TDI 150 CV DSG R-Line asciende a 55.990 euros, sin descuentos de la maraca y sin contar los extras. Dale al play y escucha la prueba de un modelo el Arteon que podría desaparecer en unos años. Su sustituto será la berlina eléctrica VW ID. Aero de la que te contamos lo poco que la marca ha comunicado hasta ahora. Parece que tendrá una autonomía dehasta 620 kilómetros, que mide casi 5,0 metros de largo y monta llantas de 22 pulgadas. Está confirmado que se basará en la plataforma MEB del grupo VAG. Cerramos el programa con los datos de ventas del mes de marzo. Pero esta vez ponemos el foco sobre el mercado del VO, el vehículo usado. Y es que en el mes de marzo de 2023 las ventas de coches de ocasión en España han ascendido hasta un total de 178.180 unidades. Lo que supone un crecimiento del 2,1%.

2022年063期：本田ZR-V致在，放大的XR-V还是缩小的CR-V？

※ 投稿邮箱：418150505@qq.com※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注前30分钟聊本田ZR-V致在，后面聊聊球鞋与运动装备。不知道大家对于小型SUV是什么印象，在我看来，小型suv的缺点大于优点。因为他首先是小，空间小就意味着实用性一般，如果真的买小车，我肯定愿意花更少的钱，去买A0级轿车，飞度、致炫和威驰，代步足够了。其次是驾驶质感一般，因为就是小车的底子，再怎么加长拉高，开起来的颠簸感，噪音控制都是小车的水准。最后是定价和配置，小型suv普遍不会给太丰富的配置，因为厂家还是像A0级车那样的造车思路，会严格控制成本，做工一般，配置给的也很低，但是价格普遍又比A0级小车定价高不少。就比如本田XR-V和缤智，其实就是飞度的底盘和动力，可是飞度畅销款卖81800元，XR-V和缤智要卖到13万多。按理说，这么没性价比的车，应该很难卖才是。但本田粉丝的信仰撑起了这两款车的销量，在小型SUV几乎全军覆没的市场当中，XR-V和缤智是妥妥的销量NO.1。也正因为如此，本田现在更有信心往上够一够，推出一款新车了，这就是我们今天要聊的本田ZR-V。本田ZR-V，空间上比XR-V和缤智略大一些，平台也不一样，使用的是思域的平台，定位比CR-V和皓影略低一些,目前官方给到的预售价16.8万，虽然这大概率只是他的中低配价格，但是这个价格很多客户并不满意，因为CR-V自动挡入门版，也就才17.98万，终端还有不少优惠。但是，本田显然是希望用这款车无缝对接本田CR-V，因为CR-V马上新款就要来了，新款CR-V会从里到外的改头换面，新款长宽高分别是4703x1866x1680mm，轴距2701mm，相比老款CR-V，车长增加82mm，车款增加11mm，车高增加1mm，轴距增加40mm。可以说，新CR-V放大了一圈，颜值也提升了不少，关键是还将会有7座版本。这样一来，紧凑级的CR-V/皓影与小型SUV XR-V/缤智之间，就空出了很大的一个空间，本田现在用ZR-V这款车来填补空白，正好合适。而很多人非常奇怪的一点是，用RV结尾的命名方式，一直不都是东本的习惯吗？怎么广本出了个ZR-V，那么今后东本的ZR-V兄弟车型该怎么命名？其实，东本的ZR-V兄弟车型，命名叫HR-V。所以，今天节目开头部分，我们先把这几款车的关系捋一捋，不然大家在选购的时候，都容易看晕圈了。关于命名首先，广本的ZR-V不是没有中文名，他的中文名叫致在。之前的XR-V、CR-V、UR-V都没有中文名，所以大概率今后广本宣传ZR-V的时候，重点强调的可能是中文名致在，而东本宣传HR-V的时候，重点强调的是英文名。那广本既然给这车命名致在，为什么还要强调ZR-V这个名称呢？因为ZR-V就相当于是美国本土的新款HR-V，只是HR-V这个名字给到了东本，广本如果用一个纯中文命名，就显得不像是全球车型。而北美上一代HR-V，实际上就是国内的缤智/XR-V，只不过美国的HR-V在日本换了个名字叫VEZEL，而VEZEL在国内叫缤智。实际上，一定要较真的话，缤智的造型更接近全球化车型，XR-V是在此基础上针对中国市场优化的造型。大家一听就明白了，缤智/XR-V与致在/HR-V，实际上就是新老两代车型。大家可以这么理解，但也不完全对。因为缤智/XR-V还会继续卖，它俩用的是飞度的底盘和动力，主打1.5L+CVT，定位小型SUV。而广本ZR-V致在/东本HR-V，用的是十一代思域的底盘和动力，主打1.5T+CVT，就连内饰造型，都与现款的思域/型格一模一样。所以，指望致在/HR-V的定价便宜，是不可能的。早几年，是不是听到一款车用英文名会显得高级一些？其实这两年，国潮崛起之后，这种观念也开始淡化了。比如冠道和UR-V，并没有因为UR-V是英文就显得更高级，反倒是更看重实际入手价格，哪个更实惠。冠道入门价格更低，那么低配就卖得多。UR-V优惠比冠道更好，那高配就卖的多。今后ZR-V致在和HR-V肯定也是一样的道理。本田ZR-V是什么来头？本田为什么要造它？至于本田为什么会引入国内，我觉得有两点原因。一是因为目前来看，本田的两大SUV销量冠军XR-V和CR-V，XR-V定位小型SUV，售价12.79-17.59万，CR-V定位紧凑级SUV，售价16.98-27.68万，看似价格上两车完美覆盖了10-20万SUV市场。但是仔细研究你就会发现，XR-V长度4.32米，CR-V长度4.62米。所以很多人会觉得XR-V太小，CR-V又太贵。而且，看似XR-V与CR-V价格无缝对接，实际上并不是这样，因为XR-V的1.5T版本几乎没有人买，也就是说14-17万这个区间几乎断档，大部分人也就能够接受XR-V这种小型suv卖个12-14万的价格，前提还得有个1-2万的优惠。因此，本田在他俩之间再塞进去一款车，也是合理的。正好，趁这次换代的机会，保留原有的尺寸不变，再放大一圈，换个平台，增加一款新车型，这波操作挑不出什么毛病。ZR-V致在是台什么车，到底是大号的XR-V还是小号的CR-V？本田ZR-V致在在官方定义中是一款紧凑级SUV，尺寸比XR-V大，比CR-V小，长宽高分别为4568*1840*1611毫米，轴距2655毫米。其实，这个尺寸也就勉强算是紧凑级的入门尺寸，算是A-级SUV车型。虽然ZR-V的外观和美版HR-V基本一致，不过它的外观设计，网友都吐槽说一点儿也不像本田，简直就是一个缝合怪。他的车头很像福特，难道是因为它是美版的，所以设计成福特的前脸讨漂亮国人的喜欢？再看车尾，这两个尾灯，蔚来的设计师看了可能都会怀疑图纸失窃了？之前都是国产车抄袭合资车的设计，现在变成了他们抄我们了？说回正题，可能这套设计放在北美可能确实会很吃香，不过在国内，尤其是ZR-V车头这么小的进气格栅，就显得很不协调。既然底盘是思域的，那还不如把思域/型格的车头搬过来安上去，这样反而显得更加运动。内饰上，ZR-V和思域几乎一模一样，光看内饰，别人还以为你买了台思域或者型格。10.2英寸全液晶仪表+9英寸中控，还有一体式的空调出风口都是老样子，所以说它是新车，其实就是外观新一点罢了。包括引擎，用的也是型格上的那颗L15CD的1.5T发动机，最大功率132kW/182Ps，峰值扭矩240牛米，用的是CVT变速箱。其实仔细一琢磨，本田ZR-V致在并不是放大的缤智XR-V，更像是小一号的皓影CR-V。因为本田和几大车企的造车思路有所不同，比如大众玩的是MQB模块化生产平台，在一个平台上可以生产很多车型，像是之前的奥迪Q6，它和大众揽境途昂是换壳车，但是和高尔夫8、奥迪A3却又是同平台的产物。再看日产，和雷诺合作后一改之前的思路，一起研发了CMF模块化平台，对标的就是大众的MQB。再比如丰田的TNGA整合式架构，设计理念相同，通用零件率也更高。而本田的造车理念是平台迭代，同时共享零部件。所以，XR-V和飞度是同一平台的产物，ZR-V和CR-V、皓影一样，都属于思域平台。因此ZR-V应该算是小号的CR-V和皓影。或者准确来说，ZR-V致在是SUV版的思域和型格。因为它的尺寸比CR-V和皓影小，开起来更轻快，加速响应会更及时，肯定是要比CR-V和皓影燃油版好开。而且ZR-V致在原厂还有炽热黄，颜色搭配显然也是按思域型格的路线走，看得出厂家也是想把ZR-V致在打造的年轻一点，吸引更多的年轻人。CR-V就让那些年纪大的人买吧。ZR-V致在的预售价贵不贵，后期会不会下调幅度很大？目前ZR-V致在只有一个预售价，16.80万。很多人一看这个价格肯定不干了，这还没算上优惠。现阶段就有不少人在抄底CR-V，2万上下的优惠，落地18万左右，等新款上市肯定是拿不到的。所以相信很多人大多会选择咬咬牙上CR-V，因为它名气大，口碑好，还保值。它好歹是CR-V，尺寸更大，空间也更大。但是ZR-V致在上市后，大概率与CR-V同价位的版本，配置会高很多。那么ZR-V致在外观内饰更年轻，配置更丰富，只是空间略小一点。你到底是要大而全的CR-V，还是小而精的ZR-V，我相信不同的人，选择的车型还真的很可能不一样。ZR-V致在后期上市定价，肯定比思域型格要贵，可是本田现在1.5T还分高低功率两个版本，所以思域低功率版入门12.99万，高功率版入门14.29万。ZR-V致在前期可定只会上高功率版本，暂时稳住高位的价格，因此起步售价比思域贵1万我觉得是合理的，15.29万-15.89万起售应该是大概率事件。其次，缤智的1.5T版本14.58万起步，皓影1.5T+CVT 17.98万起，正好ZR-V致在定个16万左右的价格处在两者中间很合适。这款车，后期的降价空间估计也不大，前期产量可能要慢慢爬升，长时间没优惠，后期有了销售压力，也就3-5千，最多1万上下。所以，心喜欢的话，也别干等优惠了，随时出手都没事，价格不会波动很大。ZR-V致在的竞争对手有哪些？要说最直接的对手，那肯定是日产逍客、丰田卡罗拉锐放/锋兰达、大众途岳了。ZR-V致在的长宽高尺寸，相比对手都有一定优势，1.5T的动力也有一些优势。虽然轴距2655mm与对手比，也最多算是打个平手，但是大家实际体验一下后排，自然知道这个级别的车，后排表现都差不多。最终客户买谁，我觉得大概率还是看颜值，品牌好感度，还有价格。要说它的对手中卖得最好的肯定是日产逍客，最近一年（2021.06-2022.06）卖了15.6万多台，平均一个月1.3万多台，还是很夸张的。这也是因为它进入国内的时间早，名声大，口碑不错，再加上它的大哥奇骏现在全系都是三缸，而它是四缸，气缸数比大哥还多，所以宁愿花更少的钱买逍客，也不愿意买新奇骏的消费者不在少数。这还只是次要的，最主要的是逍客定价12.79万起，定价和本田的小型SUV差不多，所以花小钱买更大的车谁不愿意。而且逍客最近优惠在3.5万左右，力度很大，中配的豪华版落地15万左右，落地价比ZR-V的预售价还便宜了近两万，你说香不香？其次是卖得也不错大众途岳，最近一年（2021.06-2022.06）卖了12.3万多台，也是很不错。买途岳的理由也很简单，一是途岳更像是老途观的接班人。车身尺寸上，途岳和老途观几乎一致，长度和高度比老途观少了53毫米，宽度多了32毫米，轴距更是只差了4毫米。但是，如果老途观迟迟不停产，或者像日产轩逸那样新老同堂销售，肯定会引来很大的争议。所以干脆改头换面，换上途昂的造型，变身途岳再进行销售，这样就让消费者打心底里认同了它。因此大众途岳更像是给买不起途观L和探岳的大众粉量身定制的。二是途岳动力肯定要比丰田和日产的要强，虽然1.4T+DSG低速顿挫、抖动、异响已经是家常便饭，但是挂着大众标，长得像小途昂就有人愿意买。至于丰田锋兰达和卡罗拉锐放，出的时间短，而且配置惨不忍睹，后悬挂还是板簧，除了空间还行、而且是最便宜的丰田SUV之外(比自家小型SUV奕泽，C-HR都便宜），没有任何的亮点。不过买它的消费者大多都是大爷大妈，只要是丰田、是SUV就行，开着不坏有点空间就够了。所以它对本田ZR-V致在造成不了什么伤害。什么人会买ZR-V致在？至于什么人会买，我相信ZR-V致在的客户还是年轻人偏多，大爷大妈们应该是宁愿多掏一点去买空间更大、口碑更好的CR-V，哪怕配置低点，车型要换代了，这也没事。所以ZR-V致在的主要消费群体还是那群觉得CR-V贵，又觉得XR-V小，而且比较关注配置丰富程度的客户。至于思域和型格，可能会受一些影响，关键看本田的品牌影响还能否持续输出，年青一代的思想，如果还有JDM情怀，觉得思域是他们心中唯一能买的起的运动车型，那他们是不会看SUV车型ZR-V致在的。如果这一代年轻人情怀不在，那显然多加点钱，上ZR-V致在显得更时尚一些。此外，我觉得打算买1.5T的缤智和XR-V的人，可能大概率会去买ZR-V致在。因为他们觉得1.5L的动力太弱，而且这么多钱都花了，还不如里外里再加点上ZR-V，都是1.5T，不仅空间变大了，配置也多了，内饰也更好看了。所以这款车的上市，会让XR-V和缤智的1.5T更难买，还不如干脆停产算了，只出1.5L，这样让三款车能有较大的差异化，不至于打价格战，也让消费者在买车的时候也能更简单些。所以如果是你，XR-V、ZR-V、CR-V、UR-V会怎么选？可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

2022年061期：奥迪Q6，这是造了个什么玩意？

※ 投稿邮箱：418150505@qq.com※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注最近上汽奥迪发布了一款新车，定位中大型SUV，目前只有预售价，50-65万，三种动力总成一共7个配置。此车一发布，网上热议不断，网友纷纷吐槽说Q6基本就是大众途昂的换壳车。今天我们就来聊聊奥迪Q6这款车，它到底是一款怎么样的车，它究竟是不是途昂的换壳车？它的价格到底贵不贵？它的竞争对手都有谁？以及适合哪些人群。奥迪Q6到底是台什么车，和自家的途昂、揽境有什么区别？很多网友说奥迪Q6就是途昂的换壳车，我们先来看一组数据。奥迪Q6长宽高为5099/2014/1784毫米，轴距为2980毫米。比途昂更长、更宽、更高，不过轴距和途昂一样。其实真要论Q6和谁是同平台，最准确的应该属大众揽境。因为众所周知，大众途昂最早2017年就被上汽大众生产了，所以严格来说它属于大众的第一代MQB平台，而第一代MQB诞生于2012年。但是大众新的MQB EVO平台诞生于2019年，大家也都知道最早用上这个平台的车型是高尔夫8，然后是奥迪A3、斯柯达明锐PRO等。然后紧接着是大众揽境，所以真要这么说，奥迪Q6应该是大众揽境的换壳车才更准确。而且揽境和Q6的尺寸更加接近，长度都在5.1米左右，宽度都超过了2米。或者你说它是奥迪A3的XXXL版也可以，高尔夫的XXXL版也可以。再来看Q6的动力总成，40和45都是再熟悉不过的2.0T EA888，40最大马力231匹，最大扭矩370牛米。45最大马力265匹，在最大扭矩400牛米。50是2.5T VR6 EA390的六缸机，途昂揽境同款，最大马力299匹，最大扭矩500牛米。这么看，以为Q6的引擎和途昂揽境没有区别，只是功率调高了。但是真要深挖就能发现，Q6的40、45用的2.0T是现在保时捷MACAN 2.0T的同款（2021款macan，用的低功率252马力，370牛米。现在是macan和macanT版本差价5万），是最新的第四代EA888，目前这台引擎采用原装进口的方式引入国内。所以在发动机的数据上，40的Q6会比380的揽境和途昂还要多11匹马力，20牛米。45和保时捷MACAN 2.0T的数据一样，最大马力都是265匹，最大扭矩400牛米。如果一定要买，我估计还是45版本卖得会更好一些。毕竟50万都花了，也不差这5万。根据以往途昂和揽境的销售来看，330低功率几乎没人买，客户基本选的都是380版本。主要还是怕小马拉大车。虽然Q6低功率版本也比途昂、揽境的380版本动力略好一点，但是毕竟客户多花了20多万买Q6，怎么能买一个跟途昂、揽境差不多动力的车型呢？那有的人要说了，直接买六缸的不就行了，要知道途昂、揽境买2.5T的客户也是凤毛菱角，大众客户都不愿意花30多万买2.5T，奥迪客户难道就愿意花70万买2.5T了吗？离谱的定价，只会让客户敬而远之。再看变速箱和底盘悬挂，不出意外，Q6和途昂揽境是出奇的一致，用的都是7档湿式双离合变速箱，悬挂前麦弗逊后多连杆独立悬挂。因为三车都是横置发动机，所以四驱都是多片离合器的适时四驱，即便写的是QUATTRO，但也是残血中的残血。双离合现如今还有多少客户害怕质量稳定性，我不得而知。但是稍微懂一些车辆操控的人都知道，横置前驱的平台，优点是车内空间大，成本低，油耗更经济。缺点是发动机、变速箱、转向系统全部集中在车头，加速或者爬坡的时候重心后移，前轮抓地力减弱，驾驶感受一般，而且转向过程也会受到车轮转矩的影响。所以你在奥迪车系里，40万以上的几乎看不到横置前驱车型，Q6算是打破了先例。这就是德国人眼里的中国人喜欢的车型，如果这车都能热卖，那估计后期还会推出更多这类奇葩车型。还有奥迪的看家本领Quattro，Q6设计师生怕别人不知道似的，在车头印上大大的标，在车尾的高位刹车灯点亮时也投影出quattro，就不怕后面跟车的车主吓一跳吗？还有中控面板都不放过。而实际上，这套quattro四驱系统是Haldex Traction式quattro四驱，不是纯粹的机械四驱。这套四驱系统没有分动箱、扭矩放大器和差速锁。当然有人说城市suv不能要求那么高，大部分suv都没有，这话也没错。但是5-95%的分动比例，车轮打滑后依靠压紧限滑差速器的多片式离合器实现50:50的分动，正常驾驶后桥只有5%的动力分配，这种四驱的意义，仅仅在雨雪天气，稍微增加一点通过性而已，可以说这种电子限滑差速器，毫无越野能力可言。反倒不如出个两驱版本，既省钱又省油。不过毫无疑问，对于这个级别的客户来说，没有quattro就像是买了个假奥迪，他们肯定是不愿意的。而且我估计，家里真正能决定买不买Q6的人，说不定也不是研究平台动力的那个人，家里话语权最高的人往往是不懂车的小仙女。小仙女看中的是内饰。再看看车内，Q6的内饰可以说还不如大众的途昂和揽境，虽然Q6的中控有两块屏，10.1英寸+8.6英寸，但是它看起来就是很老气，放在2022年的今天这样的内饰一点都不新潮，尤其是中控才10.1英寸，还不如途昂和揽境直接给你12英寸来的更震撼。要我说，还不如直接把A7L的内饰搬过来用，也比这套内饰有科技感。不过Q6和途昂揽境不同的是，途昂只有7座可选，揽境只有6座可选，但是奥迪Q6有6座和7座两种可选。关于六座与七座，这里多说两句。六座车型的优势，当然是第二排两个独立座椅，让人有种头等舱的感觉。特别是家里已经有一辆五座车的人，看到六座车型，就会有种新鲜感，想象着未来长途出行，自己坐在第二排，翘着二郎腿的感觉别提多爽了。但是，六座的缺点首先是二排座椅不能放倒，七座版可以。因此，六座的后备箱空间最大延展，就是放倒第三排。而七座可以二排，三排全部放倒，成为全平的后备箱。另外，也要注意家里长期几人出行。如果长期满座五人，偶尔6、7人出行，那么肯定买七座，因为六座的话，第三排你仍然要竖起一个座椅，后备箱就几乎不能放什么东西。而七座，你可以无人满载，后备箱仍然纯平。另外，六座的独立座椅比七座的三排座要更占体积，因此，第三排腿部空间，六座相比七座更加捉襟见肘。奥迪Q6和Q7又有什么区别？不管是从数据还是实车，Q6的尺寸确实很大，目前是奥迪家族里尺寸最大的，但不是大众家族里尺寸最大的，最大的是揽境，和它只有毫米之差。相比Q7，它长了22毫米，宽了44毫米，高了53毫米，但是轴距比Q7短16毫米。要说Q6和Q7最大的区别，一是在于车身结构。刚说的Q6是MQB EVO平台，是大众的横置引擎，主要以前驱为主，所以即便是四驱的途昂、揽境和Q6的四驱也是以前驱为主。这样的布局放在30-40万的途昂和揽境上没有问题，不仅厂家可以节省成本拉低售价，整车空间也更大。但是放在Q6上明显就有点偷工减料的嫌疑。而奥迪Q7用的是MLB的纵置引擎，后驱平台为主。一般横置引擎的发动机都会放在前轴之前，纵置引擎的发动机都会放在前轴上方或者之后，这也是为什么Q7虽然没有Q6长，但是轴距要比Q6长的原因。你还可以看到，40万以上的宝马奔驰奥迪，除了几个性能车比如AMG 35 45系列和奥迪S3、RS3和TTS/TT RS之外，几乎通通都是纵置引擎布局。奥迪的A4L/A5/A6L/A7，包括Q6的小弟Q5L都是纵置引擎，更别说Q7和Q8了。所以光纸上谈兵也知道Q6开起来肯定没有Q5L和Q7好开，毕竟横置引擎的车一般车头都很重。其次，奥迪Q7是正经的德原奥迪，而且是奥迪的第一款量产SUV。好歹途昂在漂亮国是有在卖的，名字叫ALTAS，但Q6目前来看只是中国特供。奥迪Q6的对手有哪些，以及什么人会买？其实在我看来，途昂、揽境与奥迪Q6，有点像是通用的开拓者、昂科旗与凯迪拉克XT6。而XT6现如今2.0T七座四驱豪华型，44.97万指导价，优惠后才36万多，落地40万左右。跟奥迪Q6落地50多万对比，差价10几万。我实在无法理解，奥迪厂家领导是故意视而不见，还是根本没把XT6放在眼里，讲起来都是上汽的产品，有些上汽奥迪领导可能还是上汽通用凯迪拉克的前同事。XT6与Q6的差距能有10多万这么大吗？人家XT6好歹也是LSY可变缸发动机，9AT变速箱，DOUBLE CLUTCH的四驱系统，后桥多出一组多片式离合器限滑差速器，能够提升后轮单轮的脱困能力，说不定Q6过不去的坎XT6都能过得去。另外，纵置四驱的福特探险者，2.3T野马同款发动机276马力，425牛米，比Q6 2.0T高功率版动力还好，前双球节后多连杆悬架的标准也比Q6这种买菜车更好，其他的配置，空间咱就不拿出来一个个比了。总之我想说的是，论产品素质，探险者是吊打Q6的存在，只不错因为挂了个福特的标，被很多人嫌弃。即使我告诉你这车也就35万上下就可以落地。跟Q6比差价将近20万，可是四个环对于某些人就是更有吸引力。我知道肯定有人会说，奥迪Q6毕竟50-65万的预售价所以Q6的主流对手应该在50-60万。这个价位的中大型SUV并不是很多，一只手数得过来，比如林肯飞行家，沃尔沃XC90。不过林肯飞行家全系3.0T V6，最大马力355匹，匹配10AT。所以一般买飞行家的车主都是男性，而且他们都非常在意动力表现，毕竟飞行家是目前60万以内，唯一配备六缸的6/7座的豪华品牌中大型SUV。就冲着这一点，买它的车主就不会再看别的车型。而沃尔沃XC90和奥迪Q6就很像，都是2.0T的6/7座SUV，横置引擎布局，轴距也只差4毫米。按理说买Q6的人肯定会去看一眼XC90吧？确实，估计有不少会去看一眼，但是一旦看到XC90动辄十几万的优惠，估计就不会回来了。目前XC90如果谈的好，18、19甚至20万的优惠也很容易，也就是说XC90优惠完落地在50万左右。正好是奥迪Q6低配的裸车价。而且最近几年奥迪的品牌力已经远不如宝马奔驰，转眼看到XC90的优惠这么大，很有可能瞬间就能让消费者上头，转而刷卡把车提。除此之外，宝马奔驰能勉强算奥迪Q6的竞争对手估计只有华晨宝马X5和奔驰GLE了。不过这俩的价格要比奥迪Q6略高，华晨宝马X5 60.5万起步，目前平价销售，奔驰GLE起步价69.98万，目前优惠五六万，裸车也要六十三四万了（450加价）。而且它俩在国内都只有5座版本。最关键是X5和GLE的名气很大，尤其是国产加长之后的的X5，后排空间真的巨大，很多人看到后真的会走不动路。所以买X5和GLE的人别说奥迪Q6了，连Q7都不会看上一眼。因为人家心里压根就看不上奥迪，觉得奥迪就不值这个价。所以奥迪Q6真正意义上的对手，其实还是自家的奥迪Q7。因为尺寸很接近，都是6/7座布局。最关键是价格，目前奥迪Q7指导价63-75万，现在优惠约9个点，而且销售说，现在Q7基本卖得最好的也都是2.0T，尤其是最低配，优惠完57万不到，不就和Q6的45T价格几乎一样了吗？但是Q7是原装进口，和宾利添越、保时捷卡宴、兰博基尼URUS是同平台，是纵置引擎平台，而且名气也要比新的Q6响。同样的价格为什么不选更好的Q7？就因为Q6是横置引擎平台，车内空间稍微比Q7大？所以不管怎么看，奥迪Q6都没有自家的Q7划算。因此Q6的受众面将会非常小，估计它只适合那些想买BBA SUV，预算只有60万，又得有6/7座，还得是新车型的人群。但是这样的人群可以说凤毛菱角，真的为奥迪Q6捏一把汗。上汽奥迪我一直觉得处于非常尴尬的境地，看似既可以生产一汽奥迪的姐妹车型，又可以自主研发中国特供车型。而实际上，这反而给他造成了很大困扰。就像是A7L上市的时候，评价是毁誉参半，因为大家心目中的A7，就应该是那种优雅帅气的掀背造型。现在折腾成了A6L的运动版，还卖那么贵，一个月销量才仅仅500台上下，跟月销过万的A6L比，连零头的零头都不够。上汽奥迪第二款Q5 e-tron更是没有声音没有图像，仿佛就像没上市过一样，月销量才100多台。很多网友调侃，这就是精装修版的大众ID.6 X，而现如今ID.6 X也滞销严重，终端优惠5万上下往外甩卖，谁还会去关心Q5 e-tron这种溢价更高的电动车。因此上汽奥迪第三款车Q6的出现，就开始了全方面的所谓中国特供，但是所谓专为中国消费者定制的产品，也只是在空间上放大一些，然后挂上Quattro标提升一下身价。可是神似奇瑞瑞虎8 plus和大通D60的造型，让稍微懂一点车的消费者都无法直视。而在配置上，你说他有诚意嘛，的确给的也挺多。你说他没诚意嘛，2.0T版本全系都没有L2级智能驾驶辅助，没有双层夹胶玻璃，低配版本连无钥匙进入，座椅加热、氛围灯、DCC悬架软硬调节都没给。奥迪Q6的厂家通稿里有一句话：不随套路，自创道路。我在想，不随套路，这是不是在暗讽一汽奥迪套娃的做法？其实，网友说的一句话我反而更认可，改变不是乱编，戏说不是胡说。奥迪Q6如果老老实实按奥迪的设计语言设计，再拉皮成这么大一个车型，加上还不错的配置，说不定还是能收割不少有钱人的。但是现如今这样的造型，这样的定价，我实在找不到推荐身边人购买的理由。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

Show #1525 Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Friday 8th July, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. VOLKSWAGEN CEO SAYS EV OUTLOOK IS ‘VERY GOOD,' EXPECTS TO REDUCE DELIVERY TIMES THIS YEAR "The CEO of German automotive giant Volkswagen sought to assuage concerns about electric vehicle sales and semiconductor supplies on Thursday, predicting delivery times for EVs will get shorter as the year progresses." "We're trying to keep delivery times short," Diess said, "but we have a lead time of a year or so currently, so we are ramping up production … five assembly plants are coming into production now. We will see a ramp-up in the second half of the year to really be able to reduce delivery times for our EVs," he added. "There's high demand in Europe and also in the United States." By the year 2030, VW says it wants at least 70% of its European revenue to come from electric cars. In China and North America, its goal is at least 50% of revenue from EVs." Original Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/07/volkswagen-ceo-says-ev-outlook-is-very-good.html VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES $20 BILLION EFFORT TO BUILD ITS OWN EV BATTERIES "Volkswagen said it would invest $20.38 billion to build electric vehicle batteries, a move the company says will create 20,000 jobs and generate $20.38 billion in annual sales. The automaker will create a new company called Power Co to oversee the vast effort as VW races to secure enough capacity, materials, and supplies to power its EV ambitions. Power Co will manage VW's entire battery supply chain, from research and development of new technologies to the mining of the raw materials to end-of-life recycling. The news was announced at a groundbreaking ceremony for the company's first battery plant in Salzgitter, a city in Germany's Lower Saxony. “The battery cell business is one of the cornerstones of our New Auto strategy which will make Volkswagen a leading provider of the sustainable, software-driven mobility of tomorrow,” VW CEO Herbert Diess said in a statement. “Establishing our own cell factory is a megaproject in technical and economic terms. It shows that we are bringing the leading-edge technology of the future to Germany!” Original Source: https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/7/23198203/volkswagen-ev-battery-factory-power-co-investment GROUND BREAKING IN SALZGITTER: VOLKSWAGEN ENTERS GLOBAL BATTERY BUSINESS WITH “POWERCO” "Salzgitter is to be a blueprint for cell factories throughout Europe and will set new standards in terms of sustainability and innovation. “What we have put to the test millions of times over with vehicle platforms such as the MQB and MEB will also lay the foundation for establishing cell production: we will be standardizing on the basis of European standards and upscaling. This way, we will combine speed and cost optimization with the highest quality levels“, said PowerCo CEO Frank Blome. Standardization will not only cover equipment, buildings and infrastructure but also products, processes and IT. This way, factories that can rapidly be converted for further product and production innovations will be created. Each factory will be operated 100 percent on electricity from regenerative sources and will be designed for future closed-loop recycling. Volkswagen also unveiled the prismatic unified cell announced at the Power Day in 2021. This allows the flexible use of a raft of different cell chemistries and will be used in up to 80 percent of all Group models. At Salzgitter, unified cells for the volume segment are to be produced from 2025 onwards. In future, the plant is to reach an annual capacity of 40 GWh – enough for about 500,000 electric vehicles. The new unified cell harnesses synergy effects and will reduce battery costs by up to 50 percent. The prototypes produced to date have demonstrated highly promising performance with respect to range, charging times and safety – essential prerequisites for a future industrial standard."

Our spies have sent us photos showing different prototypes testing, but this is the first time we are actually able to see one of these test vehicles on the move. the suspension setup does appear to be considerably stiffer than on lesser versions, so the driving experience should be transformed too. Hyundai has so far not made any performance numbers public, but the Ioniq 5 N will probably have similar power to the EV6 GT, which has 576 horsepower and sprints to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds, topping out at 161 mph (260 km/h)." Original Source: https://insideevs.com/news/596854/hyundai-ioniq5-n-hot-version-testing-nurburgring/ EU CLAMPS DOWN ON FAKE PHEV MODELS "Last year, Transport & Environment reported that many PHEV cars for sale in Europe actually use their gasoline engines almost all the time, leading to far more emissions than claimed. The latest data shows that, on average, privately owned PHEVs emit three times more carbon dioxide — and therefore use three times more fuel — than recorded officially. For company cars it is even worse. Plug-in hybrids emit five times more than their official ratings. In theory, a plug-in hybrid has a smallish battery that allows it to travel on electric power alone for 20 miles or so without using the internal combustion engine at all. Beginning in 2025, the EU will significantly reduce the so-called utility factors, which is the share of electric driving that regulators use for calculating CO2 emissions of PHEVs. From 2027, the utility factors of plug-in hybrids will be fully aligned with how they are driven in the real world." Original Source: https://cleantechnica.com/2022/07/07/eu-clamps-down-on-fake-phev-models/ CHINA LOOKING TO EXTEND EV AND CAR TAX EXEMPTIONS "China is looking to extend a tax exemption for new electric vehicles (EVs) as part of efforts to encourage car purchases, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday. The ministry also unveiled measures to encourage trade-ins of older vehicles and support the second-hand market. Last month, Beijing said it was in talks with Chinese EV makers about extending costly subsidies that were set to expire in 2022, aiming to keep a key market growing as the broader economy slows." Original Source: https://www.asiafinancial.com/china-electric-vehicle-tax-exemption-could-be-extended WEST COAST EV CHARGING NETWORK EVCS RAISES $68.8M TO EXPAND FAST CHARGER FOOTPRINT "A West Coast-based EV charging network – has raised $68.8 million in funding to help expand its presence to over thirty-five new cities in California, Oregon, and Washington. In addition to increasing fast charger density in its current footprint, EVCS looks to double its network size by 2023. Because its network currently only caters to western states, EVCS has a relatively small presence compared to some of the nationwide charging providers like EVGo and Electrify America. That being said, the company is planning to double its network size by next year and now has the funding in place to get started. The funds will be used to more than double EVCS' network of 600 chargers across the West Coast to 1,500 in the next eighteen months, providing more EV drivers to opportunity to utilize the company's unique unlimited charging subscription model." Original Source: https://electrek.co/2022/07/06/ev-charging-network-evcs/ MORE AMERICANS WOULD “DEFINITELY” GET ELECTRIC VEHICLES, CONSUMER REPORTS SURVEY SHOWS "With gas prices taking a toll on people's wallets, Consumer Reports (CR) has a new survey of what Americans think about battery electric vehicles (EVs) and low carbon fuels. The nationally representative survey of 8,027 American consumers, which was fielded in late January and February, is the largest national survey sample in the history of CR, the nonprofit consumer research, testing, and advocacy organization. The survey finds 71% of Americans express some level of interest in buying or leasing an electric-only vehicle: 14% would "definitely" buy or lease one if they were to get a vehicle today, 22% would "seriously consider" one, and 35% "might" consider one. The 14% of American drivers who say they would “definitely” buy or lease an electric-only vehicle is up markedly from the 4% who said the same in a 2020. Nearly half of Americans (46%) are unaware of the incentives available to purchase an EV. The survey was fielded January 27 to February 18, when the national average price for gasoline rose from about $3.34 to $3.52 per gallon. Now the average price is about $4.78, according to AAA.

2022 VW Golf GTI Review: Staying True

The Volkswagen Golf is entering its eighth generation. It's almost hard to believe that Volkswagen's beloved hatchback is nearing 50 years in production. Still, VW's Golf is giving hatchback fans a well-sorted and continually confident option. Well, that's the case at least in the United States with the performance variants of the Golf, which fill the void for the departed base model. The 2022 Golf GTI is the entry point to VW Golfs in the US, and that's not a bad thing. The latest Volkswagen Golf sticks to the same MQB platform as the outgoing generation, and sports an updated version of the same powertrain. This version of VW's EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mill sends 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. Controlling that power is either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren puts the 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI through its paces and brings you along for the ride. Wren walks around the latest Golf GTI and highlights its design, features and interior before taking you along for a live-recorded drive review. Along with these segments, Wren chats with Mark Vaughn about the legacy of Volkswagen's GTI, how it compares with previous models and what they like about the latest model. Closing the show, the two discuss what makes this eighth-generation Golf GTI special.

本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注今天这期节目咱们聊聊福特EVOS这款车，今年4月份在聊上海车展的时候，我曾经提到过这款车，当时EVOS全球首发，很多网友都看到了现场的照片和视频。媒体同行也是各种解读这款车的亮点，但是我一看这车造型，就感觉麻烦大了。因为EVOS是跨界车的造型，在国内目前还没有任何一款跨界车销量能够拿的出手的。所以，当时媒体都在热炒这款车，但是我仍然表示不看好EVOS今后会热销。而现如今，实际情况也与我预计的差不多，福特EVOS在网络上好评初潮，都说无论是空间、配置、颜值、动力都在平均线以上，可是销量却在平均线以下。从8月份开始盲订，到9月26日开启预售，订单情况一直不理想。当时的预售价是22.78-26.08万，价格一公布，网友一顿吐槽。倒不是说吐槽这个定价太贵，而是吐槽有25、6万为什么要买这款车？冠道和UR-V难道不比它更香吗？可能是迫于压力和订单的不理想，福特最终在11月19日广州车展正式上市EVOS车型，定价22.58-25.98万，比之前预售价低了1、2千。这说明福特预售价不敢玩得太过火，如果像比亚迪那样预售价与正式售价差价6、7千，那预售阶段客户就全跑光了。而在广州车展发布正式售价的时候，又好巧不巧丰田上市了一款新车HARRIER凌放，价位与EVOS完全重叠，同样预算，甚至可以买到凌放的混动版本。所以，福特EVOS上市又临时新增了一个最低配车型“科技版”，定价19.98万。很多不懂行情的媒体，还以为这是预售价降了3万呢，觉得福特好有良心。我前面已经解释了，预售价与正式售价比其实只降了1、2千。而19.98万这款配置说白了，就是来救火的。我先给出第一个结论，如果你准备买22.58万的福特EVOS低配风尚版，那么一定要等一等，因为目前19.98万的科技版配置还没有公布。大概率是因为这个版本是高层领导拍脑袋决定的，就是看到预售情况十分不理想，又不愿意把全系售价定得太低，因为后期还有其他中国特供车型的布局。于是，就匆匆忙忙的上了一个入门的EVOS科技版车型，而这个19.98万的配置到底该怎么定？哪些应该保留，哪些应该砍掉？福特官方肯定还在讨论中，所以各大网站都没有公布具体的配置信息。我这里大胆预测一下，首先肯定是把一整套智能驾驶辅助系统去掉的，毕竟这玩意最值钱，而很多客户又不需要这个功能。然后再把19寸轮毂缩到18寸，这也是客户关注度不高，但是成本不低的项目。也可能去掉倒车影像，定速巡航这些功能，再把全景天窗变成小天窗，去掉无钥匙进入、远程启动、主动式进气格栅，取消二排座椅靠背调节，比例放倒。毕竟差价2.6万，多砍掉一些花里胡哨的功能，客户是能接受的。而有一些配置是万万不能砍的，例如12.3英寸全液晶仪表，27英寸的中控带鱼屏，这是产品灵魂所在，砍掉就真的凉凉了。况且，你这个配置还叫科技版，屏幕变小了，还科技个啥？另外，像是LED大灯，自动空调这种配置也是万万不能砍掉的，因为有和没有，档次差别很大。那么，就算把我上述说到的这些配置全都砍掉，价钱从22.58万降低到19.98万，我相信大多数人还是愿意买19.98万的版本，因为这款车在大多数人心中就是20万以内落地才比较划算。现在网上很多人认为，EVOS的定价是与锐际无缝对接的，因为锐际的定价16.98-21.88万，EVOS的定价19.98-25.98万。可是真正与锐际对接的车型应该是锐界，定价22.98-30.98万。有人就看不懂了，锐界与EVOS感觉价格几乎重叠，难道这EVOS就是锐界的轿跑版吗？答案当然是否定的。大家之所以节奏被带跑偏，其实主要原因是被媒体口中的EVOS定位中型SUV，或者说是跨界SUV这种说法迷惑了。这款车其实更像是一款比较跨界的中型轿车，只是底盘升高了一些。如果EVOS真的定位更偏SUV，那为什么连四驱版本都不给安排？那么，如果定位更偏跨界型轿车的话，再看他的定位，是不是就在蒙迪欧与金牛座之间了？而蒙迪欧与金牛座这两款车，马上就要面临换代和改款。在我看来，EVOS其实就是换代的蒙迪欧跨界轿跑版，只是造型做的更偏SUV化了一些。老蒙迪欧现在不急换代，因为取消2.0T之后，留着1.5T老平台老技术再混1年，先让EVOS这种中国特供车去探探底，看看市场反映，反正跨界车销量一般也能说的通，福特还是指望后期新蒙迪欧能翻身的。现如今，福特在国内的平台有新C2平台，用于生产福克斯、锐际和林肯冒险家。这个是横置前驱和四驱平台。还有CD4平台，用于生产蒙迪欧、金牛座、锐界和林肯航海家，这个同样是横置前驱和四驱平台。然后就是CD6平台，这是纵置后驱/四驱平台，生产探险者和飞行家。然后就是老C2平台，生产翼虎，还有在这个平台上修改而来的福睿斯。那么EVOS用的是哪个平台呢？答案是新C2平台，有人可能觉得奇怪，那岂不是跟锐际，福克斯一个平台了？可是这车你前面不是说，就是新蒙迪欧的跨界版本吗？蒙迪欧和金牛座都是CD4平台。实际上，CD4平台已经非常老了，今后会逐渐被新C2平台所替代，换句话说，今后的新蒙迪欧也是新C2平台下的产品。其实EVOS和新蒙迪欧厂家内部项目代码都是：CD542，只是后缀不一样而已。大家今后不要用平台来定义一款车的档次高低，平台只是一个通用的概念，就像大众MQB平台下有小型车POLO，也有中大型SUV途昂。大家要是关注广州车展，会发现林肯发布了一款新车叫做林肯Z，预售价25.5-34.2万，很多人问这车怎么评价？其实这就是新蒙迪欧加长换标版本，厂家内部代号：CD764。而你仔细看林肯Z的内饰设计风格，与福特EVOS几乎一模一样，两台车的动力总成也几乎是一模一样（林肯Z调高了8马力，EVOS加92，林肯Z加95号油）。再看网上流出的下一代蒙迪欧谍照，外观和内饰也是与EVOS如出一辙。所以，EVOS再怎么换马甲装成跨界车也好、中型SUV也罢，本质来讲它的族谱还是得写进福特轿车的序列，与蒙迪欧、林肯Z同根同源。如果有人拿林肯Z去对比奔驰、宝马和奥迪的34C车型，他一定会发现，预售价27万的次低配版本，无论是尺寸、动力、空间还是配置都是碾压般的存在。林肯Z单凭12.3英寸全液晶仪表+27英寸4k中控屏，就能让不少准备买34C的车主开始注意到自己，再看看这车接近5米的车长，接近3米的轴距，空间也一点不差。再看看配置，27万的版本就吊打34C定价34、5万的版本。可是林肯Z能否卖的好，仍然是两说。因为林肯Z和EVOS一样，都是中国特供车型。在30万以上级别购车的客户，对于品牌和车型的社会认可度有着非常高的要求，这些都不关于产品力的高低。所以像林肯Z和EVOS这样的车型，因为是特供，不用考虑到全球人民的喜好，那就专供中国市场的特点来使劲怼配置和空间不就得了，所以完全可以根据中国人喜好来进行优化。比如后排空间，比如中控大屏都做到了肉眼可见的超越同级。我只能说，你只管努力，剩下的交给天意。福特也就是从这几款车开始中国特供起来的。大家有没有发现，福特一旦中国特供起来，就会非常的疯狂。感觉像是憋着一口气，发泄般的给怼配置，像要一口吃掉之前几年错过的红利一样，可是这里面问题也很大，我给大家分析一下。首先是品牌定位问题，就拿EVOS车型举例子，这款产品预售的时候都叫好。为什么真正上市了，销量如此惨淡呢?我觉得问题有三：首先是福特品牌驾驭不了20万以上价位的车型，这是一个很恐怖的事情。福特品牌早几年接二连三的负面新闻，加上车型换代的迟缓，导致绝大多数老百姓都认为福特就是问题多，空间小，油耗高的美系车。除非有特别懂车，识货的买家，看上了探险者这种纵置发动机四驱SUV，否则福特很难卖动20万以上的车。EVOS你从任何角度看，产品力都没有问题，为何卖不动？品牌力是最大的问题，单靠产品力提升是完全不够的。其次，是现阶段的销售政策，福特玩得还是不够花。预售阶段有3333订金抵扣6666元车款。正式上市，一毛钱折扣都没有，只有送三年三次保养。原本准备放弃丰田、大众、本田来看福特的客户，心里多少还是有些想花小钱办大事的心态，占点小便宜是人之常情。但是看到福特销售这么硬气，回去想想又觉得不过如此。能替代EVOS的车型比比皆是，途观X、探岳X、冠道、UR-V、领克05，甚至丰田的凌放都能轻松抢走EVOS客户，人家看上的就是混动，你一点脾气没有。最后就是关于EVOS定价的合理性问题。由于EVOS这是中国特供车型，理论上讲，它原本就不在福特正常的产品序列里。所以定价弹性非常大，可以高一些，来提升品牌调性。也可以低一些，来冲量保证市场占有率。我们就来分析一下，这款车到底定价合理不合理？EVOS用的是新C2平台，全系前驱，2.0T+8AT。对于福特来说，都是现成的平台、发动机和变速箱，开发一款新车耗费最大的部分都省了。同平台的锐际顶配也就22万，同平台的冒险家顶配27万多。而更高一级平台的锐界，前驱顶配也就27万。林肯Z相当于蒙迪欧换标加长款，EVOS相当于是蒙迪欧跨界轿跑版，林肯Z入门定价25.5万。而蒙迪欧之前2.0T定价区间在20-26万。这么一圈听下来，我告诉你EVOS定价20-26万，它合理吗？（实际售价19.98-25.98）我觉得非常合理，但是消费者觉得不合理，也没几个人真的会这么去分析。他们觉得不合理的原因，就是福特的车不值这个价，所以你还没办法跟客户讲道理。EVOS如果卖不好，会遇到两个问题。一是会把福特做中国特供的团队整懵逼了；二是蒙迪欧估计还要推迟上市，因为按这种环境看，上市也多半凉凉。按理说，EVOS和林肯Z属于福特憋了很久的大招，可以看的出来，这是他们研究透了中国消费者的心理，才股足了劲打造出来的“爆款”。就好比一个学生在考试之前，把几乎历年来的真题全部做了一遍，自我感觉已经把出卷老师的思路摸的清清楚楚了，选择题只要看开头几个字，就知道ABCD选哪个了。交卷之后，还非常自信的说自己这次不是100分就直接撕试卷。结果，60分都没考到。你说这样的打击得有多大？而蒙迪欧换代上市，其实在我看来随便卖卖肯定也比现在半死不活的销量要好。可是，B级车对于一个品牌而言，真正的意义并不是销量得有多好，而是让这个品牌的调性能够定义在20-30万这个区间。这样的话，他的A级车和紧凑级SUV才能跑的出销量。没见过哪个合资品牌B级车卖不好，A级车和紧凑级SUV咔咔跑量的。大众的帕萨特、迈腾，丰田的凯美瑞、亚洲龙，本田的雅阁，日产的天籁，销量都很好。福特必须把B级车蒙迪欧的销量拉动起来，才能让整个品牌腰杆子挺直。现如今EVOS这种中国特供车，空间拉这么大，配置怼这么高，大家还不认可，那问题就大了去了。真的要把蒙迪欧价位调低上市，最终销量可能上去了，但品牌整体调性就被锁定在更低一级了，所以这事非常麻烦。不仅如此，在福特三网合并之后，江铃福特也开始蹭热度，这次广州车展亮相了一款领睿，定位中型SUV。今年上半年江铃福特还出了款领裕，有六座、有七座，卖的还挺不错。你以为这是好事吗？一个做商用车的，挖空心思想吃乘用车市场，用一个杂交的平台，打造出一款看起来空间、动力和配置还不错的大车。所以，经常我的后台会出现这样的咨询，爸妈看上了福特领裕，我不希望他们买这车，该如何劝他们？为什么孩子不愿意父母买这车，因为在他们眼中，这就是个杂牌车，虽然挂着福特的标。从我实际试驾的角度看，福特EVOS的产品力真的很不错，起码同样20-25万区间的合资SUV，无论是本田、丰田还是大众，大家去开一开就知道，这台车的驾驶质感，绝对比对手好的不是一星半点。能看的见的地方，我就不再赘述了，比如后排空间肉眼可见的大，中控屏幕，也是大到吓人的带鱼屏，还带分屏显示，甚至可以副驾驶带蓝牙耳机听歌看电影。还有L2+级驾驶辅助、FNV智能互联架构等等。这些大家感兴趣的都可以去4s店玩玩。我只能说福特走中国特供没有错，但是产品力再强，品牌力没起来还是白忙活。这款EVOS毫无疑问，只要优惠个2万，肯定销量蹭蹭地往上涨，什么没有四驱、没有carplay这些就都不是问题。如果你现在就要原价购买EVOS的话，我建议要慎重一些，车是很好开，配置也算丰富，空间也还行，但原价购买EVOS我也是不建议的。因为这车在我心目中，至少也是得优惠2万才值得入手的车型。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

Full Transcript: Speaker1: Manager Minute brought to you by the VRTAC for Quality Management conversations powered by VR, 1manager at a time, 1 minute at a time. Here is your host Carol Pankow. Carol: So welcome to the manager minute, I am so excited to have David D'Arcangelo, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, and Natasha Jerde, Director of State Services for the Blind in Minnesota. Thank you both for joining me today. Natasha, you've been in your position for two years now. So how's it going in Minnesota? Natasha: Well, first, thanks for having me, Carol. And for others, I'm actually filling in for detail magazine with Minnesota General, so I am representing both. So I will speak globally and with Minnesota. We are definitely going through a state of evolution because not only are we going through COVID, we are also one of the states that really are going through the racial reckoning that's been happening when George Floyd was murdered. So we are having a lot of diversity and inclusion efforts in addition to trying to figure out what VR is going to look like in this new era. So it's been a challenge, but it's also been an opportunity as well. Carol: Yeah, it definitely has been a heavy load and thank you for pinch hitting for Dee, too. I knew you could represent both, so that's great. And David, I saw you just had your three year anniversary in August. So how are things in Massachusetts? David: Thanks for having me on. Things in Massachusetts are going well. I'm excited to talk about all of the various programs that we have. We haven't let COVID stop us at all. We continue to move forward. We're doing realignment projects. We've done a bunch of those that we'll talk about. Hiring is up good things happening in Massachusetts. I know we're going to go into more detail. Carol: Good to hear it. Well, October is designated as a National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and when I was thinking about an October topic, well, it just made perfect sense to talk about employment and VR. David, I remember last year when we were on a call with RSA and they were highlighting VR's 100th anniversary. You presented what was happening at the Mass Commission and you really had some exciting things happening for customers during the pandemic. And I love following all the work that you do on your social media and I saw y'all have a podcast as well. And Natasha, I know your team well, and they're always creating some wonderful ways to build partnerships with employers and create interesting and lasting relationships that have helped to improve employment opportunities. And you're also a really good partner with Minnesota General. I know two years ago we held the roundtable and recognition of employers in Minnesota during this very month to celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month. I just wanted to talk for a second about some Bureau of Labor Statistics and as I was looking things up as of August 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that unemployment rates for persons with disabilities are 11.5 percent, compared to five point one percent for persons without disabilities. And the labor force participation rate for people with disabilities is 35.6 percent, compared to 75.8 percent for working age people without disabilities. Now, the labor force participation of people with disabilities is higher than it was prior to the pandemic, and John O'Neill, he's the director of the Center for Employment and Disability Research at the Kessler Foundation. He said that this actually has been a bright spot during the pandemic as people with disabilities, and he thought maybe out of economic necessity remained engaged in the labor market. He says the last time that we saw labor force participation at this level was July of 2009. But even given all of that, you know, that bright spot, much work needs to be done to increase the number of people with disabilities in the labor force, which really ties directly to the mission of VR. So I know these past 18 months have definitely been a challenge for you both pivoting to remote work for your staff, figuring out new ways to provide services to your customers and figuring out the reality of this new world of work. And in some ways, I'm really hopeful that the pandemic has proven there are new ways in which work can be done that's going to benefit our consumers in the end. So let's dig in. So, Natasha, can you paint us a picture of your agency? Like, how many people are you serving right now? Do you currently have a waiting list and how are your employment numbers looking? Natasha: I have both Minnesota blind and general here at Minnesota Blind. We're at about 650 individuals we're currently surveying. And if you look at 2, 3, 4 years ago, we were usually in the 700's. So our applications are still down, but they are trending upwards. We haven't had a waiting list for a few years. All categories are open. Our employment numbers are slowly trending upwards. 2021 brought much higher well, not much higher, 3 higher than 2020. But we are looking to get back our 2019 numbers slowly but surely. And as for Minnesota General, they've had a downward trend. There are about 2000 fewer applications and serving 11 percent fewer applicants than they did in the previous year. Our numbers are pretty on par with the national trends. Minnesota General has been offering services to all people on the waiting list. They reopened their final 2 priority for service categories, which had been closed since the fall of 2014. They have effectively eliminated the waiting list. They are seeing rates of employment at the time of exit decrease overall about 13 percent decrease, which is very identical to the national trends. Carol: That's big news, though on the waiting list, that's good stuff. That is really good stuff for both of you. So, David, paint us a little picture of your agency. David: Basically, everything I'm going to talk about is on our website. So let me just start with that. If people hear something that resonates with them, please use us as a resource. We want to collaborate with you. Go to Mass.Gov/MCB Mass.Gov/MCB and find out all that's going on with the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind. We've seen a 25 percent increase over our previous year in terms of VR despite the pandemic, so that's really a testament to our team, our counselors, and most especially though, the consumers we work with who have persevered and there's just a lot of opportunity in Massachusetts. Some of that might be related to the pandemic, actually. You know, COVID has put real strain on the health care system. We've seen hiring there. But even other service industry things, we've seen hiring there to go back to John O'Neill's data point, which I believe in John very much and Andrew out Anvil that does the entire program first Friday of the month at noon, I faithfully listen to the number come out and they do a great job since the data has been collected in 2008. Yeah, I mean, we made a great amount of progress that COVID happened. We slid all the way back and now we've slowly regained. So at least we're back to where we were, which I think is a good thing for people with disabilities. Specifically to Massachusetts, though, we've seen that, we've seen our VR program increase and consumers typically we have, you know, somewhere between 850 and 950. Now we're at about 1050, 1038 consumers. Exactly, actually that we served as of June 30 at the end of the fiscal year. And of that, we had 155successful closures, and many of those were six figure closures. We had a significant amount of people that got a high level job, so that's very encouraging to us and we've had some good results. I know we're going to talk about some of the specific programs we're looking at pre X, we're looking at the mid-career professional and even older adults who want to reenter the workforce or continue to work beyond retirement age. Carol: That is super exciting news. It really is. I love it. That's what I remember you talking about with RSA when we were doing that. Other call it like a year ago, like these six figure positions, that's that's incredible. So now that we've gotten this kind of picture of what's going on in general with your agencies, let's just look a little bit at the overall employment picture in each of your states. So what's your employment rate kind of look like and what are your hot employment markets and sectors? And David, I'll go to you first. I know you started a little bit on this. I'll let you expand. David: Yeah, as I indicated, health care remains strong. In Massachusetts, we're hovering right around five percent for the general unemployment number. Our labor participation rate among the general population remains strong. Unfortunately, among people with disabilities, we're still looking at around two thirds of all working age people with disabilities who are not in the labor force. To me, that's job one, right? That's job one for our agency, for our counselors, is engaging our consumers and trying to get them resolved to want to work. That, I think, is because before you can get the job, we know how to get them the job once they're resolved, but they've got to be resolved to want to work. So that's job one. Then the second part is getting them a job, which is it's not easy, but it's easier, right? I think we're doing well. We've put together public awareness campaigns to really try to get out there. We use actually real allotment dollars from RSA to launch our What's Your Vision campaign, which we're out on TV with 30 second ads. We've been in print or on social media again, go to mass dot gov food slash MQB to check out the full campaign. I know there was a plethora of real dollars coming from RSA, so if you're looking for something to do with those dollars, we've proved the proof of concept that you can do it and it can be effective because we're having more people come to MQB. Carol: Very cool. Yeah, I'm looking forward to looking at that link. So Natasha, how about you? What's going on with the employment overall? The picture in Minnesota? Natasha: Minnesota is looking great. Our unemployment rate is at 3.8percent, which is well below the national average. Our labor force participation rate is 67.8 percent for all individuals and about 48 percent of Minnesotans with a disability are employed, and that's compared to about 38.8 percent nationally. So the numbers are looking great. And when you're asking about hot jobs across the board, everything is hot right now. Job vacancies are at a record number. Employers across the state are reporting difficulty finding workers. The demand is especially high in health care and social assistance. But those other areas that really were hit hard during the recession, including food service, hospitality, those are soaring right back. Carol: Wow, thank you for that. So it's no secret that the pandemic had a huge impact on employment and the economy as a whole. But can you tell us how the pandemic has affected employment for the customers you serve in particular? And are there any lessons you learned during these past 18 months you're putting into place for the long term and attached? I'm going to punt that one to you first. Natasha: We actually had a lot more opportunity than challenge when COVID hit, so we did have a number of individuals with disabilities who were laid off primarily because they were in the service and hospitality industry, and that was hit especially hard. But with COVID, it really showed that teleworking is completely and utterly doable, and all of these job postings we're seeing now are for remote workers. And when you're working with people who have transportation barriers who also live in very rural settings, this has been incredible and they're getting jobs and we're able to accommodate those jobs. The biggest struggle, though, is because we are so remote and virtual is accessibility issues, and we've been doing a lot of education of employers, of our own employer, the state of Minnesota, how to make sure everything is accessible so that if someone is working virtually, they can still do their job. And how we implement accommodations in a virtual world look very different. I think our biggest lesson learned is you just need to roll with it. You have to be flexible and you can't get locked into the way you used to do things. So we did things we didn't think was actually possible. We've done virtual adjustment to blindness training. We've even done virtual job site accommodations where they would walk us around on their phone or their laptop showing us the worksite, and we had been able to give suggestions and ideas how to accommodate without ever leaving our house. You just have to throw the book out the window is what we learned. Carol: I bet your team has been super busy. I bet those guys are just like, Wow, but it's got to make the work super interesting. Natasha: It's so much fun. I have never seen such creativity as I have these past 18 months. We have tried anything and everything, and it's been incredible. We're going to use a lot of those things from here on out. Carol: Oh, very cool. So, David, I know you guys are always super innovative at the mask commission. So what about you? Tell us about how these last 18 months have impacted you and employment for your customers and kind of any lessons you've learned? David: Yeah, really. Just a big credit goes out to our team and our consumers, one for being resilient. And we closed Friday, March 13 at five o'clock and we were open for business Monday morning, 9:00 a.m. Our counselors were already equipped with mobile laptops. Aware, which is our case management system, is all in the cloud, so we were positioned well to be able to work in this remote environment. So that's helped our counselors and our team. But additionally, I got to agree in Natasha's right, and I think you all listening to this podcast will agree the amelioration of transportation as a barrier or at least the significant amount of that as a barrier has been a game changer. It's really a paradigm shift and is unlocked. So many potentials for not only blind people, but all people with disabilities. I think that the permanence of that opportunity is a huge takeaway, a silver lining. Covid is a very serious situation. A lot of people have suffered, so I don't want to say it's a great thing because we wouldn't want to trade that right. But this is really help people with disabilities. And I think in the long term, it's going to continue to help them. I think that's the top of the full thing. And how can we leverage that even further? Is there are things we can collectively go to RSA for or I think, you know, Carol, I also sit on the National Council on Disability. Although I'm here as commissioner today, I'm trying to influence people on the federal level to think outside the box. And let's consider if there are other ways that we can leverage, whether it's being online or any technology that we can use to bring to bear for the benefit of people with disabilities to work. David: I think more and more of that is coming, and that's a good thing. We're getting some of the other things we've been doing, though we just want an award. I'm pleased to say for our graphic novel that we put together our Patriots Best Practices guide. That's a good thing. We're trying to engage those students and their families who traditionally you know how some of these RSA guidelines go. They're very dry. They're on an eight and a half by 11 piece of paper typed print. This is engaging. We find once you put it in the kids hands, they can't put it down and they're learning about all the steps of VR and the families are learning about that. That's a good thing because we really believe it takes a village and back to the other thing we were talking about where you've got to get the person with the disability resolved to want to work. And yes, they come about that ultimately on their own. But if their families are in on it, their friends are in on it, the community is on it and telling them, Hey, this is a good thing. Work brings independence, self-determination and it really, you're going to be contributing to something. I mean, I would assert somebody's self-identity really work is intertwined with that. So we think that things, whether it's the what? Your Vision ad campaign, this Preets practices guide, all of the other work that we're doing, trying to get out into the broader community. We think that rising tide will lift all ships. Carol: So is that price guide also on your website, David? David: It sure is Mass.Gov/MCB. Additionally, we have a companion website that goes with it that shows you the graphic novel and is audio described at the same time. And I think that's quest for independence. It's the UWW, AMC B Dash quest for independence. Again, go toMass.Gov/MCB. You'll get the link to it. Carol: Awesome. No, I'm sure there's some people going to be interested in that as well. That's a bonus tip all listeners for the price guide. That's great. So it might be a little early on seeing this yet, but have you either have you seen any kind of the signs of the long COVID starting to impact customers? David, I'll ask you that first, have you started to see that? David: Yeah. So in Massachusetts, we haven't seen too much of that, but we have seen hesitancy getting back out into the community a little bit. And on the consumer side, you know, so we're only going to do that when people are comfortable because it's really it's safety first, it's safety first for our team, for our counselors and then additionally for the consumers. We haven't seen too many breakthroughs, fortunately or too much spread in our community in Massachusetts, which we're grateful for. We have a high vaccination rate. I think Massachusetts leads the nation in the percentage of our people who are vaccinated. I think that's contributed and helped really open things up in Massachusetts here. I wouldn't say it's back to what it was pre-COVID, but I think we're trending in the right direction and hopefully sometimes we'll be able to put this behind us. Carol: Good. Good, Natasha, what about in Minnesota? Are you seeing any signs of like the long COVID in customers? Natasha: We have not. Between both general and blind. We haven't seen a single applicant or customer who is dealing with long COVID. Part of me is, yes, it might be too soon, and the other part of me is thinking, I don't know if individuals really are realizing that those long term effects are going to have a disabling impact on them, and they may not even realize what VR is or what disability is. They were living and working just as anyone does. And then this happened. So I think there might need to be some awareness out there in the future. Carol: I can see a campaign coming. I can see David like launching a campaign around this, how we going to serve the long COVID folks. So back in the day, I used to have this personal philosophy. I like to tag to start with, you know, about employment, and I always felt that I wanted our customers to achieve and obtain or maintain family sustaining wages. And I don't focus used to be like, what? Like, what is that? But I didn't want people to just get a job. I wanted them to give more than a job. I was hoping it could lend itself to a career and moving up and having a ladder and buying a house and doing all of that. So what is your personal philosophy around employment and people with disabilities and Natasha, I'll ask you first. Natasha: My first philosophy is I agree with you, Carol. Any old job does not mean a good job, and family sustaining wage is essential. My other philosophy is I don't believe there should have to be a philosophy around employment of people with disabilities. I mean, frankly, VR is a long term goal needs to be that we aren't needed, that the only factor in any employment situation should be that the individual can do the job and it should not matter if they have a disability or not. And employers need to recognize that every single person brings value and strength to the organization. And we are doing a family sustaining wage study in Minnesota, and 93 percent of individuals with disabilities who are part of the data did not receive a family sustaining wage. 93 percent, there should not be a gap and they should not be relegated to entry level employment, minimum wage employment if they want and need to do more. My philosophy is there shouldn't have to be one. Carol: I love that here here, Mic-drop on that boom. So David, how about you? Even though we shouldn't have to have one? Do you have a personal philosophy? David: I certainly do as a consumer myself, having been completely blind multiple times in my life and now being legally blind right on 20-200, there is a significant amount of suffering that occurs with people with blindness, people with disabilities in general. Coming to that acceptance, that disability is going to be part of the natural human condition, I think is the first thing. So once you can come to terms with that, then it becomes the greatest secret right, which is we become what we think about. So if you focus and your resolve that you want to work, you will achieve that and then move up. And so it starts with goal setting and a plan and all the things we talk about in VR, the tried and true methods of sitting down with your family, with your extended circle and drawing up that plan and sticking to it, the path to prosperity is paved by perseverance. You got to hang in there for everyone hundred you ask you. I get 99 no's, and you can't give up until you get that one, yes, even if it's at the hundredth time, so you've got to hang in there, that is. The number one thing is that perseverance, because people with disabilities are naturally inclined to solve problems to hang in there. Whether it's the Accenture study that we know that people with disabilities outperformed in terms of being on time in terms of having less absenteeism, in terms of being productive in many ways. Those are all good traits, but it starts with overcoming the inherent challenges that come with disability. And then once you do that, then come into VR. We've got programs and services, and we've got great professionals who know how to provide opportunities for you. Carol: I love that. Oh my gosh, I'm glad you said it. That Accenture study as well. It's back to the basics. I always think we used to talk about that. Going back to the basics. I know sometimes it's like, Oh, here's a flashy new program that's going on, but really, it is back to the basics. I am going to ask you, though, have you had any other types of initiatives or practices that you put into place around employment that you're hoping are going to help to move the needle forward? And David, I'm going to kick that to you. David: So let's talk about some of the realignment projects that we do. I think year one realignment projects that we did. Twenty four separate realignment projects, we follow that up with another six this year. I think we're doing another 6. So we're talking everything from the graphic novel that we talked about to we launched an employer challenge during the pandemic. We get great response on that from the business community, where we challenge the business community to, hey, do one more thing. That's the name of the campaign. Do one more thing. Everybody can be a mentor. You can offer one more internship. How about interviewing and then hiring and then promoting and retaining all of those things? So that's what that campaign is centered around. We launched our Career View podcast. We've got twenty one episodes there on all types of VR topics. We have special guests and staff and counselors sharing their insight, by the way that's available on our website Mass.Gov/MCB. You can also find it on SoundCloud, Apple and Google. So we have our nationally recognized summer internship program. This year, we had nearly 70 individuals participate that joins more than a group of 700 that we've had over the years. In October, we had our job fair. We do that annually at Radcliffe and with partners like Perkins School for the Blind, Carroll Center for the Blind and other community stakeholders. This year we had 40 career ready candidates who pitch themselves. We did reverse pitches, which seem to be a very effective model in the 20 personnel executives that we have loved it and we're getting placements out of that job fair. We did the 60 second elevator pitch, so if you want more information, contact me, be pleased to share it. We did a reach for the stars, which was in that event where we gave out gifts to the people that had the best pitches. And then for Nadeem, we created blogs and worked with our sister agencies, MRC and Match Commission for the death of Hard of Hearing to get it out through their communities to make sure that people know that, yeah, it's about blindness, but it's also about people with deaf blindness and people with blindness and other disabilities as well. So whether it's the virtual town halls that we're doing, I came day celebrations. I mean, we've got a lot of events going on. My team has worked so hard and I think we have the advantage, though, of such institutional knowledge and just great human resources here in Massachusetts with our team at MCB and the consumers. I mean, you just got to have a willing consumer group that wants to take part. Carol: Well, I think you need to have a session at NCSAB or CSr CSAvR and all the things that you're doing because I could just see, like my old director, wheels are turning. I am sure colleagues from across the country would be like, What are you doing? I want to know more about that. David: Sign us up. I mean, there is a number of other studies that we did realignment projects. I think in total, Carla and I, who's our communications director, Carla Cathy, does a terrific job. I think we stopped at 52 different projects that we've done over the past 24 months or something like that. So we've got a lot going on. Check us out. Mass.Gov/MCB to find out more. Carol: Holy smokes. Thanks for sharing that. So Natasha, I know you're representing you and Dee, so are there any other initiatives or practices that you all are doing around employment to move the needle forward? Natasha: I got sent a whole list that Minnesota General has been doing, but I think the biggest thing I wanted to share first is that we are doing most of these things together. I think Minnesota General and Minnesota Blind had had a long history of being very isolated from one another and siloed. That is no more. We do almost everything together and as one voice, and so a lot of the things I'll be talking about, we are doing this as a team, but with employment, I think pre-employment is the first place we start is when you build that. Relationship between a student and work, so a couple of things that we're doing at SSB is bring your a game where students are meeting monthly and they get information about an Alexa game and then they play that game with their family and friends, and then they come back together with their peers to talk about the game and how it relates to jobs and job skills. And then we also did an open mic night so that we can encourage the artistic side of our students. And they came, Well, they're going to be coming on the 28th. They're singers and bands and poets and comedians and storytellers, so they'll be able to share their talent. We're also expanding our pre-employment transition services programs. We're adding another work opportunity navigator who's going to be focused on providing work experiences in the northern region since we have a ton of students up there and a lot of need. We're also entering into a contract with the third party to host liability insurance so that we can get more students out there for work experiences. That's been our biggest barrier, so we figured let's get over that so we can get students paid work experiences. We have a program in Minnesota called the Connect seven hundred program, which is great but could be better. But Connect seven hundred is like Schedule A, where a person with a disability can come in and have a noncompetitive interview. And the Connect 700 program has just soared this last year. And the stats are that someone who applies for Connect 700 with the state are nearly twice as likely to get hired than someone from the general public firsthand. SSB has had a number of vacancies in every single vacancy, has had to connect 700 applicant and almost every single vacancy has been hired from a Connect 700. So that's been a really great experience. Another huge project, and I'm going to say it's 2 projects. The first is the elimination of subminimum wage. Legislature created a task force to eliminate it by 2025 and going hand in hand with that is our collaboration with the Department of Human Services to help people who are on waivers and receiving vocational rehabilitation to get jobs. We're doing something called service provider alignment, so if someone's on a waiver and getting vocational rehabilitation services, they can have the same provider from start to finish. We have a new framework called Engage Plan, Find and Keep so that it helps people move through that process without any delays so that they can get into employment. And there's no back and forth of who's paying for what. So it's a seamless experience. And then I could go on and on with 50 more things, but for sake of time, I won't. But the final thing is we have increased our collaboration with our WIO partners tenfold because they have connections. We don't we know disability, but they have connections with the business community we often can't replicate. So we've been doing a lot with our title 1 and title 3 partners. And so with that, I'll turn it back to you, Carol. Carol: Well, I know that's been on your heart for a long time. You've always talked about that partnership with the WIO partners, and that is so critical. You both have so much happening. And so I want to lead us into our National Disability Employment Awareness Month, little part of our discussion and how each of your agencies is drawing attention to this month. So, Natasha, I know that I was following on social media as well and saw that there was an employer event earlier in the month. So can you tell us a little bit about how that went? Natasha: Yeah, we had over 400 attendees. We invited the creators of the windmill training. If you're familiar with windmills, Milt Wright is the company, and the two owners of that corporation actually came and presented. And the topic was music within disability inclusion in a business world, and that recording is available on YouTube. And if you go to our Career Force website, it's available on there. We also unveiled something called disability inclusion bite-size learning modules for employers, and they are 20 minute modules and there are five of them that employers can go in and learn about disability inclusion, and there's tip sheets and tip cards and how they can incorporate it into their business. We've also done a number of blog posts and of course, we celebrated White Cane Day and we posted three videos regarding White Cane Day and what it means for people with vision loss. And fortunately, our governor is very much in support and issue two proclamations one for NDI and one for White Cane Day. Carol: Yeah, that was awesome and I loved it. I saw your video too, promoting White Cane Day. I thought that was really well done. Both of you are good at the old social media and David, I follow the mask commission all the time on social media and I saw you were part of a panel a couple of weeks ago for National Disability Employment Awareness Month. David: Yeah. Carol: and also I saw there was a podcast dropped and you had a couple of other tweets out and some really cool things with customers. I just wondered if there's any things you want to highlight about the special month. David: Again, just a shout out to our team for doing such a great job with all of the social. Media, Caller Kath is doing a great job, but did a VR panel with the state exchange for employment for people with disabilities, a seed project which counts on state governments, has an affiliate. It's the National Association of State Personnel executives. So NASPE they had their conference in Boston, so they wanted to hear from me. So we were able to present there about hiring people with disabilities. So we're a model employer state. We talked a little bit about that and how they could do things in their state. So that was good. But we kicked off the month with our vlog and our ad campaign that I mentioned previously. What's your vision, which is on TV and it's in print and it's really getting a lot of traction. We had our job fair. We had our employer of the year and then our Reach for the Stars contest, which we talked about. We had our virtual town hall with our transportation authority, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, about barriers and making sure that people with disabilities have their free or reduced Charlie card in Massachusetts. If you're blind, you have a free travel pass to be able to travel throughout the public transit system. So we talked about that we had a white pain awareness day and celebration where we had some mobility awards within that program. That was fun, but we had a provider's council presentation with the disability commissioners all throughout Massachusetts about human services and things like that. We presented to higher education professionals at Lesley University. We did an event for parents of children with blindness and visual impairments for the Boston Public Schools and New England College of Optometry. Again, just more of the reallotment project. So it's very busy at MCB, but it's a good thing. And I think that's one of the reasons why you're seeing the amount of consumers coming in for VR is up. The amount of closures is up. So it's a good thing. I think it's working. Carol: I'd say so, David, I think you need to train your peers. I have never seen anyone quite like you and how you've promoted and really gotten traction in Massachusetts and have made some really cool things happen. I think it's amazing. And Natasha, I just wanted to say so that if people wanted to follow what you were talking about with the mini modules for the employers, I looked it up and it's CareerForceMN.com. So if anybody wants to listen to that, definitely. David's promoted his website to a number of times, but folks should definitely go to both because I think that you will get a lot of rich information that is applicable in any state. It doesn't have to be that it was developed for Massachusetts or Minnesota. What's being said are things that are pertinent anywhere. So I know we need to close up here shortly and I just want to ask you each. So if you had a shiny VR crystal ball and you could forecast what is happening with VR 5 years from now and how would employment for VR look? And what do you think needs to be done to just overall improve employment for individuals with disabilities? Natasha, I'm going to go to you first and then I'll go to David Natasha: O if only I had that crystal ball. You know, I think we can't have VR look the same in 5 years from now as it does 5 years ago. I think we have hung our hats on the old way of doing VR for so long, and we really, really need to reimagine across the board how we work with our customers and everything that David says. This is what I hope that all VR agencies embrace. We need to connect people to not just any old job. We need to be focusing on advancement. We want people to never have to come back to VR. But yeah, that's the majority of our cases. Are people returning. That's why we need to invest people for the long haul and we need to make sure that they have everything that they need so that they do not come back. And the way that we approach businesses, I think, has been kind of archaic and has been from this. Well, we're going to convince you to hire people with disabilities, but we need to be driving home that the expectation is if employers want talented, loyal staff, a strong business model that embraces diversity and inclusion and a workforce that actually reflects their stakeholders and customers, then they cannot disregard the disability community. And VR needs to be the leader in that message. And it cannot be. Just please hire someone with a disability that's not going to work, and that's not our approach anymore. Carol: Well said. Well said. So, David, how about you? Do you have a crystal ball? David: Wish I did. But the great poet Santayana said those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it, so I think we need to look back. Let's look back at starting with like Smith's best act and all of that and see how much progress we have made. And even it just contemporarily when we're talking about we did away with homemakers, that was a big VR thing. Right now, it's imminent that we're going to get rid of. 14C, that's another step. You know, I look at programs like the SBA8A program. Let's get included in that. I look at Randolph Sheppard as we've seen the pandemic just crushed so many of those vendors there. What can we do now to expand that program or to get that program into other sectors or industries to keep that alive and keep people entrepreneurial? So I. I think the future's bright for VR, I believe in incremental change. These are long standing challenges that are profound. And so to me, it's like, what can we do to look at the existing program, incorporate all of the good things that we've talked about, all of the things that we've been hyper accelerated to learn as a result of COVID. It's the transportation piece that we talked about, the technology piece that we talked about. Let's keep that going so we can provide our people with access to the opportunities. And I'm just very confident that we're trending in the right direction. I want to keep it going. Carol: Well, thank you, David, for those positive words at the end. I really appreciate that. I think you two are both such a visionary and just talented leaders, and I'm really looking forward to the work you all do over these next five years. Very excited. Thank you for being on the show. I appreciate your time. I know you're both busy. David: Thank you, Carol. Natasha: Thanks to you all.

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注最近，懂车帝的碰撞试验室拿2021款丰田卡罗拉1.2T S-CVT先锋版和2021款大众速腾200TSI DSG舒适智联版，进行了一次碰撞测试，丰田卡罗拉和大众速腾均以64公里/小时的速度、50%的驾驶员侧重叠率完成正面对撞，最后根据车体变形程度及假人伤害数据进行分析评价。我相信有不少朋友的私家车应该都在这个价格区间，家里即使有两台车的话，其中一台车有可能也是在15万上下的区间，用来代步，而这两款车分别是德系和日系的标杆作品，而且都是各自的最新平台架构，所以有人也说，这是MQB大战TNGA。真的，不得不佩服，有钱就是可以任性，这有可能是地球上第一次有媒体，以最直观的用对撞的形式，来对比这两个平台的车型哪个更安全。这个视频并不是很长，但是可以说全程无尿点，两车结束对撞之后，从表面上来看丰田卡罗拉的车身整体溃缩程度更为明显，大众速腾的车身则无明显溃缩情况，而且大众速腾车门可以轻松开启，车内安全气囊均已弹出，并很好的保护到了假人，相比之下，丰田卡罗拉不仅车头溃缩程度相对严重，驾驶舱腿部位置侵入量较大，假人的腿部受损比较严重。最关键的是，碰撞后卡罗拉的车门锁并不会自动打开，导致车门不能从外部开启，每个车门需要分别手动解锁后才能打开。值得注意的是，虽然丰田卡罗拉车内安全气囊也已安全弹出，但通过拆解，内部变形要明显大于速腾，而且卡罗拉的后座直接给弹了起来，由此可见，丰田卡罗拉碰撞后的车身结构表现是略弱于大众速腾的，整体车身变形后，让假人的受损程度相较速腾来说更高。不管别人怎么说，对撞的事件已经结束，没有看过相关视频的小伙伴也可以上网搜一下相关的视频，今天先和各位分享一下我的观点。我们都知道，现在网络上充斥着很多言论，很多人看完碰撞结果以后也是惊讶不已，包括我之前在抖音上发的小视频，底下很多人都在留言，说德系车“测试没赢过、实战没输过”，日本车就是个脆壳子，不值得信赖；也有人说丰田现在的安全已经不只是车身强度啦，还有主被动安全系统的加入，可以在发生事故之前就避免事故……咱们也不好判断是不是有厂家公关在安排水军进行洗白或者趁机造势，但是我们可以聊聊几个关键的点。首先，我们在看碰撞测试的时候，最应该关注的点，是车辆对于驾乘人员的保护，现在所有的碰撞测试，对驾乘人员的保护关注度不够，很多时候都是看车辆的受损情况、车内空间压缩和白车身变形，而且最为关键的是，这一次对撞试验结束之后，我们也并未看到相关的假人受伤情况分析。其实测试碰撞的目的，有些机构是为了给厂家在销售过程中贴个标签，比如被人戏称为“五星批发部”的C-NCAP，有些是出于对自己公司的利益，比如保险公司们一起弄的中保研，为的是考虑到今后的维修成本和保险理赔，但这些都是从车辆本身出发，而实际上车辆碰撞后的人伤情况，才是最符合老百姓实际需要的。毕竟，车子撞坏了有保险公司可以修，太严重的话可以选择报废，而人伤无论轻重都是人受罪，而且影响到生命安全，现在很多家庭都有二孩了，未成年人不能坐在副驾驶，所以碰撞测试的时候，如果能够在后排放上儿童座椅，加上儿童假人，模拟一家几口出行的状态，碰撞后主持人详细讲解一下每个座位及家人分别受伤害的情况，特别是关键部位，比如头部，颈部，胸部等等，那就更完美了。而这次卡罗拉与速腾碰撞，后排座椅直接飞出去，也是网友吐槽最多的点之一。其次，在此次碰撞试验中，卡罗拉的车辆锁没有解除，我在网上看到有人提出质疑，说卡罗拉没有自动落锁，为什么车子会被锁上，我觉得这有很大可能是有一群人在刻意的转移话题，因为车子怎么锁上的根本不重要，重要的是卡罗拉现在进行撞击后，四个门从外侧根本打不开，假如在事故发生后产生了二次风险，比如追尾、起火等情况，那么车内人员的逃脱难度，以及车外人员的救援难度会大大增加。最后，我把这次碰撞试验的视频来来回回看了好几遍，2021款速腾确实是比卡罗拉的车身形变要更少，至少看起来安全性更好，这个没有任何的争议，但是如果我们将一台车的碰撞成绩，无限延伸到整个平台安全性的高低，甚至延伸到日系车和德系车上面，那就有点不讲道理了，包括有很多自媒体这段时间也是揪着这件事疯狂博眼球、抢流量，但是如果你真的信了这些论调去买车，那只能说你太年轻了。而且，这次视频有几个地方我也是存疑的，比如懂车帝为什么选择了速腾，而没有选择同样是MQB平台的朗逸（视频里的声音被哔掉了），因为实际上朗逸的销量比速腾要好，而且价格和卡罗拉更接近，更有代表性，但是节目组给出的理由是认为那个哔掉的车型是中国特供车“有可能减配缩水，达不到想要的效果”，我就比较疑惑节目组想要达到什么样的效果？当然，这并不代表不公平，因为速腾也是大众的代表产品，销量也不低。再一个就是懂车帝这次选择的是2021款的速腾，并且节目组在视频里也特别强调了“之前中保研的碰撞成绩不好，所以21款速腾据说是有25%的增强”。这其实就好理解了，大众在中保研的碰撞测试中翻车之后，开始对自家产品做“应试教育”，有针对性的增强前部碰撞的标准，所以这次对撞成绩明显提高了很多。但是我们也要知道，这种做法是“只保速腾的车内人员不受伤，不管对面的人伤有多重”，是在这种前提下加强了车头的位置，这种做法在道义上大家怎么看，欢迎在评论区讨论。速腾和卡罗拉对撞背后的对决为什么这次的对撞会造成这么大的轰动，是因为速腾是当今德系A级车的代表车型之一，而卡罗拉一直以来都是日系A级车的传奇车型，当然不止如此，这两台车可以算是国内A级车市场的“销量王”。可能有人会问了：“销量王，不应该是轩逸吗？”明面上确实是轩逸，2020年一共卖出去53.8万台，但是轩逸的销量里其实包含了两款车，一款是新轩逸，另一款是轩逸经典，别小看轩逸经典这么一款老掉牙的车型，它可是贡献了轩逸相当一部分的销量，新老轩逸同堂销售，销量还算在一起，确实有点“不讲武德”。照这么个玩法，速腾、朗逸、宝来，这三台车都有亲兄弟般的血缘关系，那大众是不是也可以把销量算一起，那可是破百万的销量；与此同时，卡罗拉和雷凌的关系就更近了，基本可以算作是一台车，算在一起的话销量也可以超过新老轩逸。可惜，速腾、朗逸、宝来的销量是分开算的，因为有一汽大众和上汽大众；卡罗拉和雷凌的销量也是分开算的，因为有一汽丰田和广汽丰田；但是，日产只有一个东风。所以在某种意义上，速腾和卡罗拉确实是国内A级车市场的“销量王”和“顶级流量”，顶流之间的碰撞自然不愁没有关注度。轰动的另一个原因，是大家喜欢“联想”甚至是“连坐”。这次对撞结果是速腾赢了，根据速腾与朗逸、宝来的血缘关系，绝大多数人下意识就会联想到同属于MQB平台的朗逸和宝来也有同样的安全表现，而卡罗拉输了，同理大多数人也会把雷凌给一起连坐了，既然卡罗拉不安全，那么同是TNGA架构的雷凌也一样不安全，速腾是MQB平台，而现在大众几乎所有新车都出自这个平台的分支，那么是不是MQB平台下的车型都这么抗撞呢？我相信，稍微懂点车的人肯定知道，绝对不可能。卡罗拉是TNGA架构下的C平台，这也是丰田一直宣传的全新架构、全新平台，这个视频之所以引起广泛关注，的确是因为MQB与TNGA的对决，牵扯到所有MQB平台和TNGA架构的车，这么一来，这种轰动效应也就爆发式地扩散开了，甚至可能有人直接就会连带着判定MQB就是比TNGA安全，大众就是比丰田安全，顺带进一步坐实了德系就是比日系安全的说法。显然这种想法是非常不理智的，毕竟一个大的平台、架构下面，会根据车型级别细分出各种分支，比如MQB就有A0、A1、A2等等，TNGA也有TNGA-B、TNGA-C、TNGA-K等等，同时平台或架构只是安全性的一方面，而每款产品的设计不同，主被动安全配置不同等等，也会随着车型级别的提升而得出不同结论，举个例子，如果将速腾的对手换成亚洲龙，你会觉得速腾还能胜过亚洲龙吗？我们不得不承认，这次对撞带来的影响面非常之广，解读的方式也是多种多样，虽然主持人已经足够专业了，但是在网友层面还是会演变成各种不同的答案，所以这种碰撞测试，我其实内心是希望平台坚持下去，做的越多越好，但是从另一方面，感觉每次碰撞都会造成一次不小的舆论风波，而后续的二次传播，平台不会再去针对性的解读，大家自由发挥的空间还是太大，也容易对真实选购的客户产生困扰。毕竟，速腾和卡罗拉的销量摆在这里，直接影响到各自海量老车主的利益和众多准车主的选择，老车主们心惊胆战，赢了皆大欢喜、输了怨声载道，准车主们静观其变，赢了就赶紧买，输了就换别家。再加上消费者的联想和连坐，赢了的那方，同品牌所有车都会跟着沾光，尤其是那些有血缘关系的车型，输了的那方，这个品牌旗下车型可能都会跟着被带进坑里，这次除了卡罗拉最遭殃的就是雷凌了，我也很担心这一类节目今后被充值的可能性，只要影响力足够大、利益足够诱人，我相信厂家会想尽一切办法来一撞成名。再换回客户角度来看，速腾和卡罗拉车主如果刚提车，恰巧有刚看到这个视频，速腾车主会不会长舒一口气，坚信自己的选择是正确的，又或者有人“不巧”买了卡罗拉，新车还没捂热就遭遇晴天霹雳，会不会连觉都睡不好？其实，不用过分紧张，这种对撞更多还是一个参考，真正上路驾驶时的环境根本不会像在实验室中那么理想，变量实在是太多了，在各自变量影响下很可能又会出现另一种情况。而现在对于那些本来就在速腾和卡罗拉之间来回纠结的人们，恐怕这次对撞的结果，会直接影响到他们的选择，今年速腾的销量会不会反超卡罗拉，倒是可以好好期待一下，毕竟去年全年销量，速腾落后卡罗拉4万多台。我们有哪些A级车可以选择这次对撞说完了，不如借着这个机会再聊聊市场上的那些A级车，如果你的购车计划被这次对撞打乱了，也可以当作参考。首先是德系，在A级车扎堆的10万~15万价位，最主流的德系车就是大众了，以这次对撞的速腾来说，经过这几年持续地增配、官降，销量一直维持在一个高位，去年销量接近30万台，但大众的A级车同质化非常严重，速腾、朗逸、宝来之间甚至存在一个互相竞争的关系，尤其是朗逸和宝来，代表了一汽和上汽的竞争，反倒是速腾的定位会稍高一点，上汽大众虽然也有兄弟车型凌度，但是明显不是速腾的对手。不管如何，速腾、朗逸、宝来都属于万金油车型，没有明显的优点，也没有明显的缺点，大众真是将中国的“中庸之道”研究得透透的，而选择它们的人也有一个共性，那就是保守、务实，大家买什么他们就买什么，当然这个级别的消费者普遍没有什么个性化需求，跟随主流是最稳妥的方式。在品牌层面，很多地方大众标依然等于有面子，大众的高销量反映在生活中就是一种认同感，你买别的品牌可能会被亲戚朋友DISS，但是你买一台大众回去没有人会在背后议论你的选择，所以在国内的A级车市场，你买什么都有可能出错，唯独买大众是不太可能出错的。下面是日系车，卡罗拉和雷凌上了1.5L三缸车型，前不久我们刚出过一期节目，感兴趣的可以回听一下。个人认为，除非丰田将1.2T彻底停产了，否则它仍然是卡罗拉和雷凌的销量主力，毕竟长久以来形成的三缸歧视在短期内是不可能消失的，而且卡罗拉和雷凌的三缸并没有什么肉眼可见的优势。顺便说一句，虽然卡罗拉这次对撞输了，但它和雷凌的安全气囊配得多，正面气囊、侧气囊、头部气囊、膝部气囊、坐垫气囊全系标配，同时车道偏离预警、车道保持辅助、主动刹车在卡罗拉上也是标配，在雷凌上则是从次低配开始配备，这点同级别没多少车能做到（至少大众没有做到）。但有意思的是，根据我在二手车市场摸爬滚打的经验，德系车如果撞过，保值率并不会跌得太惨，但日系车只要撞过，那就卖不上什么价，具体原因我不是很清楚，是不是因为在很多人心里日系车都是不经碰的？除了三缸版本外，卡罗拉/雷凌的1.2T和混动车型该如何选，我觉得相比1.2T车型，混动车型的优势并不是油耗、省钱，毕竟它俩之间的差价，想单纯靠后期油耗去弥补，需要一个相当长的周期，“省油”不代表“省钱”，所以除非追求混动车型稍好的行驶品质，否则一般人买1.2T都已经足够日常使用。轩逸，销量王，虽然这个销量是新老合力“拼凑”出来的，但不得不承认轩逸的特性确实适合这个级别的消费者，它的特性是什么？没短板、没毛病，就像一个高级一点的老年代步车，但家用代步肯定是足够了。但是，在没短板、没毛病的另一面，就是没有新技术，轩逸经典已经是非常老旧的车型了，而新轩逸也没有带来什么技术上的突破，同时轩逸的CVT变速箱我觉得也是一个槽点，虽然在油耗上是比较经济的，但是耐用性和在寒冷地区的低温保护问题，一直是大家吐槽的点，但是似乎丝毫没有影响销量。轩逸的动力参数其实很一般，但是绝大多数人试驾之后，反而觉得够用了，1.6L自吸发动机匹配CVT变速箱，12秒左右才能破百，也没有更高阶的动力总成可供选择，冷保护问题其实就是在动辄零下几十度的北方冬季，在车子热起来之前，踩油门是跑不快的。当然，日产的CVT变速箱故障率一般都是出现在几十万公里之后，正常家庭使用期限内，还真的就没啥问题。思域、昂克塞拉、福克斯，两个日系、一个美系。首先，这代思域真没什么好说的了，毕竟这种主打运动的A级车看上去没有那么“会过日子”，在上了年纪的人眼中是比较难以接受的，排除这类消费群体之后依然能够获得如此高的销量，主要还是产品的名声在外，有历史、有传承、有故事、调性一直保持的很好，是这个级别里最能拿来吹牛的车型，思域三厢本就非常火了，两厢车型造型非常高调，一定程度上还原了Type-R的风采，大家也都知道Type-R对于喜欢日系车的人意味着什么，再加上做了手动高配这么一个别人都不敢做的配置，又给火上浇了把油。反观昂克塞拉，我觉得挺可惜的，首先它没有引入绝美无双的两厢车型，虽然没有引入的原因是上一代两厢销量太差了，但对于那些真正喜欢昂克塞拉的人来说是一个遗憾，同时长安马自达一直给不了什么好的销售政策，吸引不了除昂克塞拉粉以外的“路人”客群，更关键的是如果现在去买2.0L的昂克塞拉，差不多都可以买一汽马自达的阿特兹了，别不信，阿特兹17.58万起售，现在最高能让到4万优惠，而且马上3月份就会上新款了，这可是整整高了一个级别的车，是正儿八经B级车。至于福克斯，运动性能非常强，同级别最好的底盘之一，只可惜现在全系都在玩三缸，玩着玩着就把自己玩脱了，不过不得不承认，福克斯的1.5T高功率三缸机是市面上最强三缸机之一，现在福克斯是难以复制当年的辉煌了，买它的也都是真爱粉并且非常认同这台发动机，很多人直接上次顶配甚至顶配，现在优惠也快3万了。接下来是国产车，最近比较火的是名爵的MG6、吉利的星瑞、领克的03……包括这些车在内的国产车都有个特点——越级打市场，要么在价格上越级，给出一个相比合资品牌A级车非常诱人的价格，要么就在级别上越级，用A+级或者准B级的姿态去打A级车市场。空间大、配置高、车机好……几乎已经成为国产车的共性，那为什么还是有人不买账，无非就是品牌价值问题，但是在这个级别的合资车也不见得多有档次，同时国产车的销量现在也不差，可在和合资车比销量的时候，还是比不过。为什么？因为消费者买车有第一选择性，国产车会给很多消费者带来不确定感，就比如不耐用，那问题就来了，什么叫不耐用？车也不是纸糊的，路上那么多网约车，不信去问问他们有没有大修过，我相信现在的国产车，除了某些发动机和变速箱的匹配不行，底盘质感差一点，其他的还真不会有什么大问题。写在最后综合而言，如果手捧十几万的预算想去买台车回来，我觉得考虑清楚几个点之后，其实再去选车就很简单。如果只是为了满足自己的日常代步需求，偶尔后排带点人，那么就遵循自己的喜好和驾驶习惯，追求动力就去买马力大的，追求操控就去买操控好的，追求颜值就去买长的好看的。如果有家用的需求，平时大多数情况下车子里都是坐满的，那么就要综合家庭成员的需求点，比如是要空间大一些，还是内部舒适化配置高一些，或者是主被动安全配置要更到位的。但是，不管怎么样都记住一点，就是在十几万这个价位里，很难有面面俱到的车，所以想清楚自己最需要什么，然后奔着自己最需要的点去选车就可以了。音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

DSG舒适智联版，进行了一次碰撞测试，丰田卡罗拉和大众速腾均以64公里/小时的速度、50%的驾驶员侧重叠率完成正面对撞，最后根据车体变形程度及假人伤害数据进行分析评价。我相信有不少朋友的私家车应该都在这个价格区间，家里即使有两台车的话，其中一台车有可能也是在15万上下的区间，用来代步，而这两款车分别是德系和日系的标杆作品，而且都是各自的最新平台架构，所以有人也说，这是MQB大战TNGA。真的，不得不佩服，有钱就是可以任性，这有可能是地球上第一次有媒体，以最直观的用对撞的形式，来对比这两个平台的车型哪个更安全。这个视频并不是很长，但是可以说全程无尿点，两车结束对撞之后，从表面上来看丰田卡罗拉的车身整体溃缩程度更为明显，大众速腾的车身则无明显溃缩情况，而且大众速腾车门可以轻松开启，车内安全气囊均已弹出，并很好的保护到了假人，相比之下，丰田卡罗拉不仅车头溃缩程度相对严重，驾驶舱腿部位置侵入量较大，假人的腿部受损比较严重。最关键的是，碰撞后卡罗拉的车门锁并不会自动打开，导致车门不能从外部开启，每个车门需要分别手动解锁后才能打开。值得注意的是，虽然丰田卡罗拉车内安全气囊也已安全弹出，但通过拆解，内部变形要明显大于速腾，而且卡罗拉的后座直接给弹了起来，由此可见，丰田卡罗拉碰撞后的车身结构表现是略弱于大众速腾的，整体车身变形后，让假人的受损程度相较速腾来说更高。不管别人怎么说，对撞的事件已经结束，没有看过相关视频的小伙伴也可以上网搜一下相关的视频，今天先和各位分享一下我的观点。我们都知道，现在网络上充斥着很多言论，很多人看完碰撞结果以后也是惊讶不已，包括我之前在抖音上发的小视频，底下很多人都在留言，说德系车“测试没赢过、实战没输过”，日本车就是个脆壳子，不值得信赖；也有人说丰田现在的安全已经不只是车身强度啦，还有主被动安全系统的加入，可以在发生事故之前就避免事故……咱们也不好判断是不是有厂家公关在安排水军进行洗白或者趁机造势，但是我们可以聊聊几个关键的点。首先，我们在看碰撞测试的时候，最应该关注的点，是车辆对于驾乘人员的保护，现在所有的碰撞测试，对驾乘人员的保护关注度不够，很多时候都是看车辆的受损情况、车内空间压缩和白车身变形，而且最为关键的是，这一次对撞试验结束之后，我们也并未看到相关的假人受伤情况分析。其实测试碰撞的目的，有些机构是为了给厂家在销售过程中贴个标签，比如被人戏称为“五星批发部”的C-NCAP，有些是出于对自己公司的利益，比如保险公司们一起弄的中保研，为的是考虑到今后的维修成本和保险理赔，但这些都是从车辆本身出发，而实际上车辆碰撞后的人伤情况，才是最符合老百姓实际需要的。毕竟，车子撞坏了有保险公司可以修，太严重的话可以选择报废，而人伤无论轻重都是人受罪，而且影响到生命安全，现在很多家庭都有二孩了，未成年人不能坐在副驾驶，所以碰撞测试的时候，如果能够在后排放上儿童座椅，加上儿童假人，模拟一家几口出行的状态，碰撞后主持人详细讲解一下每个座位及家人分别受伤害的情况，特别是关键部位，比如头部，颈部，胸部等等，那就更完美了。而这次卡罗拉与速腾碰撞，后排座椅直接飞出去，也是网友吐槽最多的点之一。其次，在此次碰撞试验中，卡罗拉的车辆锁没有解除，我在网上看到有人提出质疑，说卡罗拉没有自动落锁，为什么车子会被锁上，我觉得这有很大可能是有一群人在刻意的转移话题，因为车子怎么锁上的根本不重要，重要的是卡罗拉现在进行撞击后，四个门从外侧根本打不开，假如在事故发生后产生了二次风险，比如追尾、起火等情况，那么车内人员的逃脱难度，以及车外人员的救援难度会大大增加。最后，我把这次碰撞试验的视频来来回回看了好几遍，2021款速腾确实是比卡罗拉的车身形变要更少，至少看起来安全性更好，这个没有任何的争议，但是如果我们将一台车的碰撞成绩，无限延伸到整个平台安全性的高低，甚至延伸到日系车和德系车上面，那就有点不讲道理了，包括有很多自媒体这段时间也是揪着这件事疯狂博眼球、抢流量，但是如果你真的信了这些论调去买车，那只能说你太年轻了。而且，这次视频有几个地方我也是存疑的，比如懂车帝为什么选择了速腾，而没有选择同样是MQB平台的朗逸（视频里的声音被哔掉了），因为实际上朗逸的销量比速腾要好，而且价格和卡罗拉更接近，更有代表性，但是节目组给出的理由是认为那个哔掉的车型是中国特供车“有可能减配缩水，达不到想要的效果”，我就比较疑惑节目组想要达到什么样的效果？当然，这并不代表不公平，因为速腾也是大众的代表产品，销量也不低。再一个就是懂车帝这次选择的是2021款的速腾，并且节目组在视频里也特别强调了“之前中保研的碰撞成绩不好，所以21款速腾据说是有25%的增强”。这其实就好理解了，大众在中保研的碰撞测试中翻车之后，开始对自家产品做“应试教育”，有针对性的增强前部碰撞的标准，所以这次对撞成绩明显提高了很多。但是我们也要知道，这种做法是“只保速腾的车内人员不受伤，不管对面的人伤有多重”，是在这种前提下加强了车头的位置，这种做法在道义上大家怎么看，欢迎在评论区讨论。速腾和卡罗拉对撞背后的对决为什么这次的对撞会造成这么大的轰动，是因为速腾是当今德系A级车的代表车型之一，而卡罗拉一直以来都是日系A级车的传奇车型，当然不止如此，这两台车可以算是国内A级车市场的“销量王”。可能有人会问了：“销量王，不应该是轩逸吗？”明面上确实是轩逸，2020年一共卖出去53.8万台，但是轩逸的销量里其实包含了两款车，一款是新轩逸，另一款是轩逸经典，别小看轩逸经典这么一款老掉牙的车型，它可是贡献了轩逸相当一部分的销量，新老轩逸同堂销售，销量还算在一起，确实有点“不讲武德”。照这么个玩法，速腾、朗逸、宝来，这三台车都有亲兄弟般的血缘关系，那大众是不是也可以把销量算一起，那可是破百万的销量；与此同时，卡罗拉和雷凌的关系就更近了，基本可以算作是一台车，算在一起的话销量也可以超过新老轩逸。可惜，速腾、朗逸、宝来的销量是分开算的，因为有一汽大众和上汽大众；卡罗拉和雷凌的销量也是分开算的，因为有一汽丰田和广汽丰田；但是，日产只有一个东风。所以在某种意义上，速腾和卡罗拉确实是国内A级车市场的“销量王”和“顶级流量”，顶流之间的碰撞自然不愁没有关注度。轰动的另一个原因，是大家喜欢“联想”甚至是“连坐”。这次对撞结果是速腾赢了，根据速腾与朗逸、宝来的血缘关系，绝大多数人下意识就会联想到同属于MQB平台的朗逸和宝来也有同样的安全表现，而卡罗拉输了，同理大多数人也会把雷凌给一起连坐了，既然卡罗拉不安全，那么同是TNGA架构的雷凌也一样不安全，速腾是MQB平台，而现在大众几乎所有新车都出自这个平台的分支，那么是不是MQB平台下的车型都这么抗撞呢？我相信，稍微懂点车的人肯定知道，绝对不可能。卡罗拉是TNGA架构下的C平台，这也是丰田一直宣传的全新架构、全新平台，这个视频之所以引起广泛关注，的确是因为MQB与TNGA的对决，牵扯到所有MQB平台和TNGA架构的车，这么一来，这种轰动效应也就爆发式地扩散开了，甚至可能有人直接就会连带着判定MQB就是比TNGA安全，大众就是比丰田安全，顺带进一步坐实了德系就是比日系安全的说法。显然这种想法是非常不理智的，毕竟一个大的平台、架构下面，会根据车型级别细分出各种分支，比如MQB就有A0、A1、A2等等，TNGA也有TNGA-B、TNGA-C、TNGA-K等等，同时平台或架构只是安全性的一方面，而每款产品的设计不同，主被动安全配置不同等等，也会随着车型级别的提升而得出不同结论，举个例子，如果将速腾的对手换成亚洲龙，你会觉得速腾还能胜过亚洲龙吗？我们不得不承认，这次对撞带来的影响面非常之广，解读的方式也是多种多样，虽然主持人已经足够专业了，但是在网友层面还是会演变成各种不同的答案，所以这种碰撞测试，我其实内心是希望平台坚持下去，做的越多越好，但是从另一方面，感觉每次碰撞都会造成一次不小的舆论风波，而后续的二次传播，平台不会再去针对性的解读，大家自由发挥的空间还是太大，也容易对真实选购的客户产生困扰。毕竟，速腾和卡罗拉的销量摆在这里，直接影响到各自海量老车主的利益和众多准车主的选择，老车主们心惊胆战，赢了皆大欢喜、输了怨声载道，准车主们静观其变，赢了就赶紧买，输了就换别家。再加上消费者的联想和连坐，赢了的那方，同品牌所有车都会跟着沾光，尤其是那些有血缘关系的车型，输了的那方，这个品牌旗下车型可能都会跟着被带进坑里，这次除了卡罗拉最遭殃的就是雷凌了，我也很担心这一类节目今后被充值的可能性，只要影响力足够大、利益足够诱人，我相信厂家会想尽一切办法来一撞成名。再换回客户角度来看，速腾和卡罗拉车主如果刚提车，恰巧有刚看到这个视频，速腾车主会不会长舒一口气，坚信自己的选择是正确的，又或者有人“不巧”买了卡罗拉，新车还没捂热就遭遇晴天霹雳，会不会连觉都睡不好？其实，不用过分紧张，这种对撞更多还是一个参考，真正上路驾驶时的环境根本不会像在实验室中那么理想，变量实在是太多了，在各自变量影响下很可能又会出现另一种情况。而现在对于那些本来就在速腾和卡罗拉之间来回纠结的人们，恐怕这次对撞的结果，会直接影响到他们的选择，今年速腾的销量会不会反超卡罗拉，倒是可以好好期待一下，毕竟去年全年销量，速腾落后卡罗拉4万多台。我们有哪些A级车可以选择这次对撞说完了，不如借着这个机会再聊聊市场上的那些A级车，如果你的购车计划被这次对撞打乱了，也可以当作参考。首先是德系，在A级车扎堆的10万~15万价位，最主流的德系车就是大众了，以这次对撞的速腾来说，经过这几年持续地增配、官降，销量一直维持在一个高位，去年销量接近30万台，但大众的A级车同质化非常严重，速腾、朗逸、宝来之间甚至存在一个互相竞争的关系，尤其是朗逸和宝来，代表了一汽和上汽的竞争，反倒是速腾的定位会稍高一点，上汽大众虽然也有兄弟车型凌度，但是明显不是速腾的对手。不管如何，速腾、朗逸、宝来都属于万金油车型，没有明显的优点，也没有明显的缺点，大众真是将中国的“中庸之道”研究得透透的，而选择它们的人也有一个共性，那就是保守、务实，大家买什么他们就买什么，当然这个级别的消费者普遍没有什么个性化需求，跟随主流是最稳妥的方式。在品牌层面，很多地方大众标依然等于有面子，大众的高销量反映在生活中就是一种认同感，你买别的品牌可能会被亲戚朋友DISS，但是你买一台大众回去没有人会在背后议论你的选择，所以在国内的A级车市场，你买什么都有可能出错，唯独买大众是不太可能出错的。下面是日系车，卡罗拉和雷凌上了1.5L三缸车型，前不久我们刚出过一期节目，感兴趣的可以回听一下。个人认为，除非丰田将1.2T彻底停产了，否则它仍然是卡罗拉和雷凌的销量主力，毕竟长久以来形成的三缸歧视在短期内是不可能消失的，而且卡罗拉和雷凌的三缸并没有什么肉眼可见的优势。顺便说一句，虽然卡罗拉这次对撞输了，但它和雷凌的安全气囊配得多，正面气囊、侧气囊、头部气囊、膝部气囊、坐垫气囊全系标配，同时车道偏离预警、车道保持辅助、主动刹车在卡罗拉上也是标配，在雷凌上则是从次低配开始配备，这点同级别没多少车能做到（至少大众没有做到）。但有意思的是，根据我在二手车市场摸爬滚打的经验，德系车如果撞过，保值率并不会跌得太惨，但日系车只要撞过，那就卖不上什么价，具体原因我不是很清楚，是不是因为在很多人心里日系车都是不经碰的？除了三缸版本外，卡罗拉/雷凌的1.2T和混动车型该如何选，我觉得相比1.2T车型，混动车型的优势并不是油耗、省钱，毕竟它俩之间的差价，想单纯靠后期油耗去弥补，需要一个相当长的周期，“省油”不代表“省钱”，所以除非追求混动车型稍好的行驶品质，否则一般人买1.2T都已经足够日常使用。轩逸，销量王，虽然这个销量是新老合力“拼凑”出来的，但不得不承认轩逸的特性确实适合这个级别的消费者，它的特性是什么？没短板、没毛病，就像一个高级一点的老年代步车，但家用代步肯定是足够了。但是，在没短板、没毛病的另一面，就是没有新技术，轩逸经典已经是非常老旧的车型了，而新轩逸也没有带来什么技术上的突破，同时轩逸的CVT变速箱我觉得也是一个槽点，虽然在油耗上是比较经济的，但是耐用性和在寒冷地区的低温保护问题，一直是大家吐槽的点，但是似乎丝毫没有影响销量。轩逸的动力参数其实很一般，但是绝大多数人试驾之后，反而觉得够用了，1.6L自吸发动机匹配CVT变速箱，12秒左右才能破百，也没有更高阶的动力总成可供选择，冷保护问题其实就是在动辄零下几十度的北方冬季，在车子热起来之前，踩油门是跑不快的。当然，日产的CVT变速箱故障率一般都是出现在几十万公里之后，正常家庭使用期限内，还真的就没啥问题。思域、昂克塞拉、福克斯，两个日系、一个美系。首先，这代思域真没什么好说的了，毕竟这种主打运动的A级车看上去没有那么“会过日子”，在上了年纪的人眼中是比较难以接受的，排除这类消费群体之后依然能够获得如此高的销量，主要还是产品的名声在外，有历史、有传承、有故事、调性一直保持的很好，是这个级别里最能拿来吹牛的车型，思域三厢本就非常火了，两厢车型造型非常高调，一定程度上还原了Type-R的风采，大家也都知道Type-R对于喜欢日系车的人意味着什么，再加上做了手动高配这么一个别人都不敢做的配置，又给火上浇了把油。反观昂克塞拉，我觉得挺可惜的，首先它没有引入绝美无双的两厢车型，虽然没有引入的原因是上一代两厢销量太差了，但对于那些真正喜欢昂克塞拉的人来说是一个遗憾，同时长安马自达一直给不了什么好的销售政策，吸引不了除昂克塞拉粉以外的“路人”客群，更关键的是如果现在去买2.0L的昂克塞拉，差不多都可以买一汽马自达的阿特兹了，别不信，阿特兹17.58万起售，现在最高能让到4万优惠，而且马上3月份就会上新款了，这可是整整高了一个级别的车，是正儿八经B级车。至于福克斯，运动性能非常强，同级别最好的底盘之一，只可惜现在全系都在玩三缸，玩着玩着就把自己玩脱了，不过不得不承认，福克斯的1.5T高功率三缸机是市面上最强三缸机之一，现在福克斯是难以复制当年的辉煌了，买它的也都是真爱粉并且非常认同这台发动机，很多人直接上次顶配甚至顶配，现在优惠也快3万了。接下来是国产车，最近比较火的是名爵的MG6、吉利的星瑞、领克的03……包括这些车在内的国产车都有个特点——越级打市场，要么在价格上越级，给出一个相比合资品牌A级车非常诱人的价格，要么就在级别上越级，用A+级或者准B级的姿态去打A级车市场。空间大、配置高、车机好……几乎已经成为国产车的共性，那为什么还是有人不买账，无非就是品牌价值问题，但是在这个级别的合资车也不见得多有档次，同时国产车的销量现在也不差，可在和合资车比销量的时候，还是比不过。为什么？因为消费者买车有第一选择性，国产车会给很多消费者带来不确定感，就比如不耐用，那问题就来了，什么叫不耐用？车也不是纸糊的，路上那么多网约车，不信去问问他们有没有大修过，我相信现在的国产车，除了某些发动机和变速箱的匹配不行，底盘质感差一点，其他的还真不会有什么大问题。写在最后综合而言，如果手捧十几万的预算想去买台车回来，我觉得考虑清楚几个点之后，其实再去选车就很简单。如果只是为了满足自己的日常代步需求，偶尔后排带点人，那么就遵循自己的喜好和驾驶习惯，追求动力就去买马力大的，追求操控就去买操控好的，追求颜值就去买长的好看的。如果有家用的需求，平时大多数情况下车子里都是坐满的，那么就要综合家庭成员的需求点，比如是要空间大一些，还是内部舒适化配置高一些，或者是主被动安全配置要更到位的。但是，不管怎么样都记住一点，就是在十几万这个价位里，很难有面面俱到的车，所以想清楚自己最需要什么，然后奔着自己最需要的点去选车就可以了。音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注最近，懂车帝的碰撞试验室拿2021款丰田卡罗拉1.2T S-CVT先锋版和2021款大众速腾200TSI DSG舒适智联版，进行了一次碰撞测试，丰田卡罗拉和大众速腾均以64公里/小时的速度、50%的驾驶员侧重叠率完成正面对撞，最后根据车体变形程度及假人伤害数据进行分析评价。我相信有不少朋友的私家车应该都在这个价格区间，家里即使有两台车的话，其中一台车有可能也是在15万上下的区间，用来代步，而这两款车分别是德系和日系的标杆作品，而且都是各自的最新平台架构，所以有人也说，这是MQB大战TNGA。真的，不得不佩服，有钱就是可以任性，这有可能是地球上第一次有媒体，以最直观的用对撞的形式，来对比这两个平台的车型哪个更安全。这个视频并不是很长，但是可以说全程无尿点，两车结束对撞之后，从表面上来看丰田卡罗拉的车身整体溃缩程度更为明显，大众速腾的车身则无明显溃缩情况，而且大众速腾车门可以轻松开启，车内安全气囊均已弹出，并很好的保护到了假人，相比之下，丰田卡罗拉不仅车头溃缩程度相对严重，驾驶舱腿部位置侵入量较大，假人的腿部受损比较严重。最关键的是，碰撞后卡罗拉的车门锁并不会自动打开，导致车门不能从外部开启，每个车门需要分别手动解锁后才能打开。值得注意的是，虽然丰田卡罗拉车内安全气囊也已安全弹出，但通过拆解，内部变形要明显大于速腾，而且卡罗拉的后座直接给弹了起来，由此可见，丰田卡罗拉碰撞后的车身结构表现是略弱于大众速腾的，整体车身变形后，让假人的受损程度相较速腾来说更高。不管别人怎么说，对撞的事件已经结束，没有看过相关视频的小伙伴也可以上网搜一下相关的视频，今天先和各位分享一下我的观点。我们都知道，现在网络上充斥着很多言论，很多人看完碰撞结果以后也是惊讶不已，包括我之前在抖音上发的小视频，底下很多人都在留言，说德系车“测试没赢过、实战没输过”，日本车就是个脆壳子，不值得信赖；也有人说丰田现在的安全已经不只是车身强度啦，还有主被动安全系统的加入，可以在发生事故之前就避免事故……咱们也不好判断是不是有厂家公关在安排水军进行洗白或者趁机造势，但是我们可以聊聊几个关键的点。首先，我们在看碰撞测试的时候，最应该关注的点，是车辆对于驾乘人员的保护，现在所有的碰撞测试，对驾乘人员的保护关注度不够，很多时候都是看车辆的受损情况、车内空间压缩和白车身变形，而且最为关键的是，这一次对撞试验结束之后，我们也并未看到相关的假人受伤情况分析。其实测试碰撞的目的，有些机构是为了给厂家在销售过程中贴个标签，比如被人戏称为“五星批发部”的C-NCAP，有些是出于对自己公司的利益，比如保险公司们一起弄的中保研，为的是考虑到今后的维修成本和保险理赔，但这些都是从车辆本身出发，而实际上车辆碰撞后的人伤情况，才是最符合老百姓实际需要的。毕竟，车子撞坏了有保险公司可以修，太严重的话可以选择报废，而人伤无论轻重都是人受罪，而且影响到生命安全，现在很多家庭都有二孩了，未成年人不能坐在副驾驶，所以碰撞测试的时候，如果能够在后排放上儿童座椅，加上儿童假人，模拟一家几口出行的状态，碰撞后主持人详细讲解一下每个座位及家人分别受伤害的情况，特别是关键部位，比如头部，颈部，胸部等等，那就更完美了。而这次卡罗拉与速腾碰撞，后排座椅直接飞出去，也是网友吐槽最多的点之一。其次，在此次碰撞试验中，卡罗拉的车辆锁没有解除，我在网上看到有人提出质疑，说卡罗拉没有自动落锁，为什么车子会被锁上，我觉得这有很大可能是有一群人在刻意的转移话题，因为车子怎么锁上的根本不重要，重要的是卡罗拉现在进行撞击后，四个门从外侧根本打不开，假如在事故发生后产生了二次风险，比如追尾、起火等情况，那么车内人员的逃脱难度，以及车外人员的救援难度会大大增加。最后，我把这次碰撞试验的视频来来回回看了好几遍，2021款速腾确实是比卡罗拉的车身形变要更少，至少看起来安全性更好，这个没有任何的争议，但是如果我们将一台车的碰撞成绩，无限延伸到整个平台安全性的高低，甚至延伸到日系车和德系车上面，那就有点不讲道理了，包括有很多自媒体这段时间也是揪着这件事疯狂博眼球、抢流量，但是如果你真的信了这些论调去买车，那只能说你太年轻了。而且，这次视频有几个地方我也是存疑的，比如懂车帝为什么选择了速腾，而没有选择同样是MQB平台的朗逸（视频里的声音被哔掉了），因为实际上朗逸的销量比速腾要好，而且价格和卡罗拉更接近，更有代表性，但是节目组给出的理由是认为那个哔掉的车型是中国特供车“有可能减配缩水，达不到想要的效果”，我就比较疑惑节目组想要达到什么样的效果？当然，这并不代表不公平，因为速腾也是大众的代表产品，销量也不低。再一个就是懂车帝这次选择的是2021款的速腾，并且节目组在视频里也特别强调了“之前中保研的碰撞成绩不好，所以21款速腾据说是有25%的增强”。这其实就好理解了，大众在中保研的碰撞测试中翻车之后，开始对自家产品做“应试教育”，有针对性的增强前部碰撞的标准，所以这次对撞成绩明显提高了很多。但是我们也要知道，这种做法是“只保速腾的车内人员不受伤，不管对面的人伤有多重”，是在这种前提下加强了车头的位置，这种做法在道义上大家怎么看，欢迎在评论区讨论。速腾和卡罗拉对撞背后的对决为什么这次的对撞会造成这么大的轰动，是因为速腾是当今德系A级车的代表车型之一，而卡罗拉一直以来都是日系A级车的传奇车型，当然不止如此，这两台车可以算是国内A级车市场的“销量王”。可能有人会问了：“销量王，不应该是轩逸吗？”明面上确实是轩逸，2020年一共卖出去53.8万台，但是轩逸的销量里其实包含了两款车，一款是新轩逸，另一款是轩逸经典，别小看轩逸经典这么一款老掉牙的车型，它可是贡献了轩逸相当一部分的销量，新老轩逸同堂销售，销量还算在一起，确实有点“不讲武德”。照这么个玩法，速腾、朗逸、宝来，这三台车都有亲兄弟般的血缘关系，那大众是不是也可以把销量算一起，那可是破百万的销量；与此同时，卡罗拉和雷凌的关系就更近了，基本可以算作是一台车，算在一起的话销量也可以超过新老轩逸。可惜，速腾、朗逸、宝来的销量是分开算的，因为有一汽大众和上汽大众；卡罗拉和雷凌的销量也是分开算的，因为有一汽丰田和广汽丰田；但是，日产只有一个东风。所以在某种意义上，速腾和卡罗拉确实是国内A级车市场的“销量王”和“顶级流量”，顶流之间的碰撞自然不愁没有关注度。轰动的另一个原因，是大家喜欢“联想”甚至是“连坐”。这次对撞结果是速腾赢了，根据速腾与朗逸、宝来的血缘关系，绝大多数人下意识就会联想到同属于MQB平台的朗逸和宝来也有同样的安全表现，而卡罗拉输了，同理大多数人也会把雷凌给一起连坐了，既然卡罗拉不安全，那么同是TNGA架构的雷凌也一样不安全，速腾是MQB平台，而现在大众几乎所有新车都出自这个平台的分支，那么是不是MQB平台下的车型都这么抗撞呢？我相信，稍微懂点车的人肯定知道，绝对不可能。卡罗拉是TNGA架构下的C平台，这也是丰田一直宣传的全新架构、全新平台，这个视频之所以引起广泛关注，的确是因为MQB与TNGA的对决，牵扯到所有MQB平台和TNGA架构的车，这么一来，这种轰动效应也就爆发式地扩散开了，甚至可能有人直接就会连带着判定MQB就是比TNGA安全，大众就是比丰田安全，顺带进一步坐实了德系就是比日系安全的说法。显然这种想法是非常不理智的，毕竟一个大的平台、架构下面，会根据车型级别细分出各种分支，比如MQB就有A0、A1、A2等等，TNGA也有TNGA-B、TNGA-C、TNGA-K等等，同时平台或架构只是安全性的一方面，而每款产品的设计不同，主被动安全配置不同等等，也会随着车型级别的提升而得出不同结论，举个例子，如果将速腾的对手换成亚洲龙，你会觉得速腾还能胜过亚洲龙吗？我们不得不承认，这次对撞带来的影响面非常之广，解读的方式也是多种多样，虽然主持人已经足够专业了，但是在网友层面还是会演变成各种不同的答案，所以这种碰撞测试，我其实内心是希望平台坚持下去，做的越多越好，但是从另一方面，感觉每次碰撞都会造成一次不小的舆论风波，而后续的二次传播，平台不会再去针对性的解读，大家自由发挥的空间还是太大，也容易对真实选购的客户产生困扰。毕竟，速腾和卡罗拉的销量摆在这里，直接影响到各自海量老车主的利益和众多准车主的选择，老车主们心惊胆战，赢了皆大欢喜、输了怨声载道，准车主们静观其变，赢了就赶紧买，输了就换别家。再加上消费者的联想和连坐，赢了的那方，同品牌所有车都会跟着沾光，尤其是那些有血缘关系的车型，输了的那方，这个品牌旗下车型可能都会跟着被带进坑里，这次除了卡罗拉最遭殃的就是雷凌了，我也很担心这一类节目今后被充值的可能性，只要影响力足够大、利益足够诱人，我相信厂家会想尽一切办法来一撞成名。再换回客户角度来看，速腾和卡罗拉车主如果刚提车，恰巧有刚看到这个视频，速腾车主会不会长舒一口气，坚信自己的选择是正确的，又或者有人“不巧”买了卡罗拉，新车还没捂热就遭遇晴天霹雳，会不会连觉都睡不好？其实，不用过分紧张，这种对撞更多还是一个参考，真正上路驾驶时的环境根本不会像在实验室中那么理想，变量实在是太多了，在各自变量影响下很可能又会出现另一种情况。而现在对于那些本来就在速腾和卡罗拉之间来回纠结的人们，恐怕这次对撞的结果，会直接影响到他们的选择，今年速腾的销量会不会反超卡罗拉，倒是可以好好期待一下，毕竟去年全年销量，速腾落后卡罗拉4万多台。我们有哪些A级车可以选择这次对撞说完了，不如借着这个机会再聊聊市场上的那些A级车，如果你的购车计划被这次对撞打乱了，也可以当作参考。首先是德系，在A级车扎堆的10万~15万价位，最主流的德系车就是大众了，以这次对撞的速腾来说，经过这几年持续地增配、官降，销量一直维持在一个高位，去年销量接近30万台，但大众的A级车同质化非常严重，速腾、朗逸、宝来之间甚至存在一个互相竞争的关系，尤其是朗逸和宝来，代表了一汽和上汽的竞争，反倒是速腾的定位会稍高一点，上汽大众虽然也有兄弟车型凌度，但是明显不是速腾的对手。不管如何，速腾、朗逸、宝来都属于万金油车型，没有明显的优点，也没有明显的缺点，大众真是将中国的“中庸之道”研究得透透的，而选择它们的人也有一个共性，那就是保守、务实，大家买什么他们就买什么，当然这个级别的消费者普遍没有什么个性化需求，跟随主流是最稳妥的方式。在品牌层面，很多地方大众标依然等于有面子，大众的高销量反映在生活中就是一种认同感，你买别的品牌可能会被亲戚朋友DISS，但是你买一台大众回去没有人会在背后议论你的选择，所以在国内的A级车市场，你买什么都有可能出错，唯独买大众是不太可能出错的。下面是日系车，卡罗拉和雷凌上了1.5L三缸车型，前不久我们刚出过一期节目，感兴趣的可以回听一下。个人认为，除非丰田将1.2T彻底停产了，否则它仍然是卡罗拉和雷凌的销量主力，毕竟长久以来形成的三缸歧视在短期内是不可能消失的，而且卡罗拉和雷凌的三缸并没有什么肉眼可见的优势。顺便说一句，虽然卡罗拉这次对撞输了，但它和雷凌的安全气囊配得多，正面气囊、侧气囊、头部气囊、膝部气囊、坐垫气囊全系标配，同时车道偏离预警、车道保持辅助、主动刹车在卡罗拉上也是标配，在雷凌上则是从次低配开始配备，这点同级别没多少车能做到（至少大众没有做到）。但有意思的是，根据我在二手车市场摸爬滚打的经验，德系车如果撞过，保值率并不会跌得太惨，但日系车只要撞过，那就卖不上什么价，具体原因我不是很清楚，是不是因为在很多人心里日系车都是不经碰的？除了三缸版本外，卡罗拉/雷凌的1.2T和混动车型该如何选，我觉得相比1.2T车型，混动车型的优势并不是油耗、省钱，毕竟它俩之间的差价，想单纯靠后期油耗去弥补，需要一个相当长的周期，“省油”不代表“省钱”，所以除非追求混动车型稍好的行驶品质，否则一般人买1.2T都已经足够日常使用。轩逸，销量王，虽然这个销量是新老合力“拼凑”出来的，但不得不承认轩逸的特性确实适合这个级别的消费者，它的特性是什么？没短板、没毛病，就像一个高级一点的老年代步车，但家用代步肯定是足够了。但是，在没短板、没毛病的另一面，就是没有新技术，轩逸经典已经是非常老旧的车型了，而新轩逸也没有带来什么技术上的突破，同时轩逸的CVT变速箱我觉得也是一个槽点，虽然在油耗上是比较经济的，但是耐用性和在寒冷地区的低温保护问题，一直是大家吐槽的点，但是似乎丝毫没有影响销量。轩逸的动力参数其实很一般，但是绝大多数人试驾之后，反而觉得够用了，1.6L自吸发动机匹配CVT变速箱，12秒左右才能破百，也没有更高阶的动力总成可供选择，冷保护问题其实就是在动辄零下几十度的北方冬季，在车子热起来之前，踩油门是跑不快的。当然，日产的CVT变速箱故障率一般都是出现在几十万公里之后，正常家庭使用期限内，还真的就没啥问题。思域、昂克塞拉、福克斯，两个日系、一个美系。首先，这代思域真没什么好说的了，毕竟这种主打运动的A级车看上去没有那么“会过日子”，在上了年纪的人眼中是比较难以接受的，排除这类消费群体之后依然能够获得如此高的销量，主要还是产品的名声在外，有历史、有传承、有故事、调性一直保持的很好，是这个级别里最能拿来吹牛的车型，思域三厢本就非常火了，两厢车型造型非常高调，一定程度上还原了Type-R的风采，大家也都知道Type-R对于喜欢日系车的人意味着什么，再加上做了手动高配这么一个别人都不敢做的配置，又给火上浇了把油。反观昂克塞拉，我觉得挺可惜的，首先它没有引入绝美无双的两厢车型，虽然没有引入的原因是上一代两厢销量太差了，但对于那些真正喜欢昂克塞拉的人来说是一个遗憾，同时长安马自达一直给不了什么好的销售政策，吸引不了除昂克塞拉粉以外的“路人”客群，更关键的是如果现在去买2.0L的昂克塞拉，差不多都可以买一汽马自达的阿特兹了，别不信，阿特兹17.58万起售，现在最高能让到4万优惠，而且马上3月份就会上新款了，这可是整整高了一个级别的车，是正儿八经B级车。至于福克斯，运动性能非常强，同级别最好的底盘之一，只可惜现在全系都在玩三缸，玩着玩着就把自己玩脱了，不过不得不承认，福克斯的1.5T高功率三缸机是市面上最强三缸机之一，现在福克斯是难以复制当年的辉煌了，买它的也都是真爱粉并且非常认同这台发动机，很多人直接上次顶配甚至顶配，现在优惠也快3万了。接下来是国产车，最近比较火的是名爵的MG6、吉利的星瑞、领克的03……包括这些车在内的国产车都有个特点——越级打市场，要么在价格上越级，给出一个相比合资品牌A级车非常诱人的价格，要么就在级别上越级，用A+级或者准B级的姿态去打A级车市场。空间大、配置高、车机好……几乎已经成为国产车的共性，那为什么还是有人不买账，无非就是品牌价值问题，但是在这个级别的合资车也不见得多有档次，同时国产车的销量现在也不差，可在和合资车比销量的时候，还是比不过。为什么？因为消费者买车有第一选择性，国产车会给很多消费者带来不确定感，就比如不耐用，那问题就来了，什么叫不耐用？车也不是纸糊的，路上那么多网约车，不信去问问他们有没有大修过，我相信现在的国产车，除了某些发动机和变速箱的匹配不行，底盘质感差一点，其他的还真不会有什么大问题。写在最后综合而言，如果手捧十几万的预算想去买台车回来，我觉得考虑清楚几个点之后，其实再去选车就很简单。如果只是为了满足自己的日常代步需求，偶尔后排带点人，那么就遵循自己的喜好和驾驶习惯，追求动力就去买马力大的，追求操控就去买操控好的，追求颜值就去买长的好看的。如果有家用的需求，平时大多数情况下车子里都是坐满的，那么就要综合家庭成员的需求点，比如是要空间大一些，还是内部舒适化配置高一些，或者是主被动安全配置要更到位的。但是，不管怎么样都记住一点，就是在十几万这个价位里，很难有面面俱到的车，所以想清楚自己最需要什么，然后奔着自己最需要的点去选车就可以了。音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注最近，懂车帝的碰撞试验室拿2021款丰田卡罗拉1.2T S-CVT先锋版和2021款大众速腾200TSI DSG舒适智联版，进行了一次碰撞测试，丰田卡罗拉和大众速腾均以64公里/小时的速度、50%的驾驶员侧重叠率完成正面对撞，最后根据车体变形程度及假人伤害数据进行分析评价。我相信有不少朋友的私家车应该都在这个价格区间，家里即使有两台车的话，其中一台车有可能也是在15万上下的区间，用来代步，而这两款车分别是德系和日系的标杆作品，而且都是各自的最新平台架构，所以有人也说，这是MQB大战TNGA。真的，不得不佩服，有钱就是可以任性，这有可能是地球上第一次有媒体，以最直观的用对撞的形式，来对比这两个平台的车型哪个更安全。这个视频并不是很长，但是可以说全程无尿点，两车结束对撞之后，从表面上来看丰田卡罗拉的车身整体溃缩程度更为明显，大众速腾的车身则无明显溃缩情况，而且大众速腾车门可以轻松开启，车内安全气囊均已弹出，并很好的保护到了假人，相比之下，丰田卡罗拉不仅车头溃缩程度相对严重，驾驶舱腿部位置侵入量较大，假人的腿部受损比较严重。最关键的是，碰撞后卡罗拉的车门锁并不会自动打开，导致车门不能从外部开启，每个车门需要分别手动解锁后才能打开。值得注意的是，虽然丰田卡罗拉车内安全气囊也已安全弹出，但通过拆解，内部变形要明显大于速腾，而且卡罗拉的后座直接给弹了起来，由此可见，丰田卡罗拉碰撞后的车身结构表现是略弱于大众速腾的，整体车身变形后，让假人的受损程度相较速腾来说更高。不管别人怎么说，对撞的事件已经结束，没有看过相关视频的小伙伴也可以上网搜一下相关的视频，今天先和各位分享一下我的观点。我们都知道，现在网络上充斥着很多言论，很多人看完碰撞结果以后也是惊讶不已，包括我之前在抖音上发的小视频，底下很多人都在留言，说德系车“测试没赢过、实战没输过”，日本车就是个脆壳子，不值得信赖；也有人说丰田现在的安全已经不只是车身强度啦，还有主被动安全系统的加入，可以在发生事故之前就避免事故……咱们也不好判断是不是有厂家公关在安排水军进行洗白或者趁机造势，但是我们可以聊聊几个关键的点。首先，我们在看碰撞测试的时候，最应该关注的点，是车辆对于驾乘人员的保护，现在所有的碰撞测试，对驾乘人员的保护关注度不够，很多时候都是看车辆的受损情况、车内空间压缩和白车身变形，而且最为关键的是，这一次对撞试验结束之后，我们也并未看到相关的假人受伤情况分析。其实测试碰撞的目的，有些机构是为了给厂家在销售过程中贴个标签，比如被人戏称为“五星批发部”的C-NCAP，有些是出于对自己公司的利益，比如保险公司们一起弄的中保研，为的是考虑到今后的维修成本和保险理赔，但这些都是从车辆本身出发，而实际上车辆碰撞后的人伤情况，才是最符合老百姓实际需要的。毕竟，车子撞坏了有保险公司可以修，太严重的话可以选择报废，而人伤无论轻重都是人受罪，而且影响到生命安全，现在很多家庭都有二孩了，未成年人不能坐在副驾驶，所以碰撞测试的时候，如果能够在后排放上儿童座椅，加上儿童假人，模拟一家几口出行的状态，碰撞后主持人详细讲解一下每个座位及家人分别受伤害的情况，特别是关键部位，比如头部，颈部，胸部等等，那就更完美了。而这次卡罗拉与速腾碰撞，后排座椅直接飞出去，也是网友吐槽最多的点之一。其次，在此次碰撞试验中，卡罗拉的车辆锁没有解除，我在网上看到有人提出质疑，说卡罗拉没有自动落锁，为什么车子会被锁上，我觉得这有很大可能是有一群人在刻意的转移话题，因为车子怎么锁上的根本不重要，重要的是卡罗拉现在进行撞击后，四个门从外侧根本打不开，假如在事故发生后产生了二次风险，比如追尾、起火等情况，那么车内人员的逃脱难度，以及车外人员的救援难度会大大增加。最后，我把这次碰撞试验的视频来来回回看了好几遍，2021款速腾确实是比卡罗拉的车身形变要更少，至少看起来安全性更好，这个没有任何的争议，但是如果我们将一台车的碰撞成绩，无限延伸到整个平台安全性的高低，甚至延伸到日系车和德系车上面，那就有点不讲道理了，包括有很多自媒体这段时间也是揪着这件事疯狂博眼球、抢流量，但是如果你真的信了这些论调去买车，那只能说你太年轻了。而且，这次视频有几个地方我也是存疑的，比如懂车帝为什么选择了速腾，而没有选择同样是MQB平台的朗逸（视频里的声音被哔掉了），因为实际上朗逸的销量比速腾要好，而且价格和卡罗拉更接近，更有代表性，但是节目组给出的理由是认为那个哔掉的车型是中国特供车“有可能减配缩水，达不到想要的效果”，我就比较疑惑节目组想要达到什么样的效果？当然，这并不代表不公平，因为速腾也是大众的代表产品，销量也不低。再一个就是懂车帝这次选择的是2021款的速腾，并且节目组在视频里也特别强调了“之前中保研的碰撞成绩不好，所以21款速腾据说是有25%的增强”。这其实就好理解了，大众在中保研的碰撞测试中翻车之后，开始对自家产品做“应试教育”，有针对性的增强前部碰撞的标准，所以这次对撞成绩明显提高了很多。但是我们也要知道，这种做法是“只保速腾的车内人员不受伤，不管对面的人伤有多重”，是在这种前提下加强了车头的位置，这种做法在道义上大家怎么看，欢迎在评论区讨论。速腾和卡罗拉对撞背后的对决为什么这次的对撞会造成这么大的轰动，是因为速腾是当今德系A级车的代表车型之一，而卡罗拉一直以来都是日系A级车的传奇车型，当然不止如此，这两台车可以算是国内A级车市场的“销量王”。可能有人会问了：“销量王，不应该是轩逸吗？”明面上确实是轩逸，2020年一共卖出去53.8万台，但是轩逸的销量里其实包含了两款车，一款是新轩逸，另一款是轩逸经典，别小看轩逸经典这么一款老掉牙的车型，它可是贡献了轩逸相当一部分的销量，新老轩逸同堂销售，销量还算在一起，确实有点“不讲武德”。照这么个玩法，速腾、朗逸、宝来，这三台车都有亲兄弟般的血缘关系，那大众是不是也可以把销量算一起，那可是破百万的销量；与此同时，卡罗拉和雷凌的关系就更近了，基本可以算作是一台车，算在一起的话销量也可以超过新老轩逸。可惜，速腾、朗逸、宝来的销量是分开算的，因为有一汽大众和上汽大众；卡罗拉和雷凌的销量也是分开算的，因为有一汽丰田和广汽丰田；但是，日产只有一个东风。所以在某种意义上，速腾和卡罗拉确实是国内A级车市场的“销量王”和“顶级流量”，顶流之间的碰撞自然不愁没有关注度。轰动的另一个原因，是大家喜欢“联想”甚至是“连坐”。这次对撞结果是速腾赢了，根据速腾与朗逸、宝来的血缘关系，绝大多数人下意识就会联想到同属于MQB平台的朗逸和宝来也有同样的安全表现，而卡罗拉输了，同理大多数人也会把雷凌给一起连坐了，既然卡罗拉不安全，那么同是TNGA架构的雷凌也一样不安全，速腾是MQB平台，而现在大众几乎所有新车都出自这个平台的分支，那么是不是MQB平台下的车型都这么抗撞呢？我相信，稍微懂点车的人肯定知道，绝对不可能。卡罗拉是TNGA架构下的C平台，这也是丰田一直宣传的全新架构、全新平台，这个视频之所以引起广泛关注，的确是因为MQB与TNGA的对决，牵扯到所有MQB平台和TNGA架构的车，这么一来，这种轰动效应也就爆发式地扩散开了，甚至可能有人直接就会连带着判定MQB就是比TNGA安全，大众就是比丰田安全，顺带进一步坐实了德系就是比日系安全的说法。显然这种想法是非常不理智的，毕竟一个大的平台、架构下面，会根据车型级别细分出各种分支，比如MQB就有A0、A1、A2等等，TNGA也有TNGA-B、TNGA-C、TNGA-K等等，同时平台或架构只是安全性的一方面，而每款产品的设计不同，主被动安全配置不同等等，也会随着车型级别的提升而得出不同结论，举个例子，如果将速腾的对手换成亚洲龙，你会觉得速腾还能胜过亚洲龙吗？我们不得不承认，这次对撞带来的影响面非常之广，解读的方式也是多种多样，虽然主持人已经足够专业了，但是在网友层面还是会演变成各种不同的答案，所以这种碰撞测试，我其实内心是希望平台坚持下去，做的越多越好，但是从另一方面，感觉每次碰撞都会造成一次不小的舆论风波，而后续的二次传播，平台不会再去针对性的解读，大家自由发挥的空间还是太大，也容易对真实选购的客户产生困扰。毕竟，速腾和卡罗拉的销量摆在这里，直接影响到各自海量老车主的利益和众多准车主的选择，老车主们心惊胆战，赢了皆大欢喜、输了怨声载道，准车主们静观其变，赢了就赶紧买，输了就换别家。再加上消费者的联想和连坐，赢了的那方，同品牌所有车都会跟着沾光，尤其是那些有血缘关系的车型，输了的那方，这个品牌旗下车型可能都会跟着被带进坑里，这次除了卡罗拉最遭殃的就是雷凌了，我也很担心这一类节目今后被充值的可能性，只要影响力足够大、利益足够诱人，我相信厂家会想尽一切办法来一撞成名。再换回客户角度来看，速腾和卡罗拉车主如果刚提车，恰巧有刚看到这个视频，速腾车主会不会长舒一口气，坚信自己的选择是正确的，又或者有人“不巧”买了卡罗拉，新车还没捂热就遭遇晴天霹雳，会不会连觉都睡不好？其实，不用过分紧张，这种对撞更多还是一个参考，真正上路驾驶时的环境根本不会像在实验室中那么理想，变量实在是太多了，在各自变量影响下很可能又会出现另一种情况。而现在对于那些本来就在速腾和卡罗拉之间来回纠结的人们，恐怕这次对撞的结果，会直接影响到他们的选择，今年速腾的销量会不会反超卡罗拉，倒是可以好好期待一下，毕竟去年全年销量，速腾落后卡罗拉4万多台。我们有哪些A级车可以选择这次对撞说完了，不如借着这个机会再聊聊市场上的那些A级车，如果你的购车计划被这次对撞打乱了，也可以当作参考。首先是德系，在A级车扎堆的10万~15万价位，最主流的德系车就是大众了，以这次对撞的速腾来说，经过这几年持续地增配、官降，销量一直维持在一个高位，去年销量接近30万台，但大众的A级车同质化非常严重，速腾、朗逸、宝来之间甚至存在一个互相竞争的关系，尤其是朗逸和宝来，代表了一汽和上汽的竞争，反倒是速腾的定位会稍高一点，上汽大众虽然也有兄弟车型凌度，但是明显不是速腾的对手。不管如何，速腾、朗逸、宝来都属于万金油车型，没有明显的优点，也没有明显的缺点，大众真是将中国的“中庸之道”研究得透透的，而选择它们的人也有一个共性，那就是保守、务实，大家买什么他们就买什么，当然这个级别的消费者普遍没有什么个性化需求，跟随主流是最稳妥的方式。在品牌层面，很多地方大众标依然等于有面子，大众的高销量反映在生活中就是一种认同感，你买别的品牌可能会被亲戚朋友DISS，但是你买一台大众回去没有人会在背后议论你的选择，所以在国内的A级车市场，你买什么都有可能出错，唯独买大众是不太可能出错的。下面是日系车，卡罗拉和雷凌上了1.5L三缸车型，前不久我们刚出过一期节目，感兴趣的可以回听一下。个人认为，除非丰田将1.2T彻底停产了，否则它仍然是卡罗拉和雷凌的销量主力，毕竟长久以来形成的三缸歧视在短期内是不可能消失的，而且卡罗拉和雷凌的三缸并没有什么肉眼可见的优势。顺便说一句，虽然卡罗拉这次对撞输了，但它和雷凌的安全气囊配得多，正面气囊、侧气囊、头部气囊、膝部气囊、坐垫气囊全系标配，同时车道偏离预警、车道保持辅助、主动刹车在卡罗拉上也是标配，在雷凌上则是从次低配开始配备，这点同级别没多少车能做到（至少大众没有做到）。但有意思的是，根据我在二手车市场摸爬滚打的经验，德系车如果撞过，保值率并不会跌得太惨，但日系车只要撞过，那就卖不上什么价，具体原因我不是很清楚，是不是因为在很多人心里日系车都是不经碰的？除了三缸版本外，卡罗拉/雷凌的1.2T和混动车型该如何选，我觉得相比1.2T车型，混动车型的优势并不是油耗、省钱，毕竟它俩之间的差价，想单纯靠后期油耗去弥补，需要一个相当长的周期，“省油”不代表“省钱”，所以除非追求混动车型稍好的行驶品质，否则一般人买1.2T都已经足够日常使用。轩逸，销量王，虽然这个销量是新老合力“拼凑”出来的，但不得不承认轩逸的特性确实适合这个级别的消费者，它的特性是什么？没短板、没毛病，就像一个高级一点的老年代步车，但家用代步肯定是足够了。但是，在没短板、没毛病的另一面，就是没有新技术，轩逸经典已经是非常老旧的车型了，而新轩逸也没有带来什么技术上的突破，同时轩逸的CVT变速箱我觉得也是一个槽点，虽然在油耗上是比较经济的，但是耐用性和在寒冷地区的低温保护问题，一直是大家吐槽的点，但是似乎丝毫没有影响销量。轩逸的动力参数其实很一般，但是绝大多数人试驾之后，反而觉得够用了，1.6L自吸发动机匹配CVT变速箱，12秒左右才能破百，也没有更高阶的动力总成可供选择，冷保护问题其实就是在动辄零下几十度的北方冬季，在车子热起来之前，踩油门是跑不快的。当然，日产的CVT变速箱故障率一般都是出现在几十万公里之后，正常家庭使用期限内，还真的就没啥问题。思域、昂克塞拉、福克斯，两个日系、一个美系。首先，这代思域真没什么好说的了，毕竟这种主打运动的A级车看上去没有那么“会过日子”，在上了年纪的人眼中是比较难以接受的，排除这类消费群体之后依然能够获得如此高的销量，主要还是产品的名声在外，有历史、有传承、有故事、调性一直保持的很好，是这个级别里最能拿来吹牛的车型，思域三厢本就非常火了，两厢车型造型非常高调，一定程度上还原了Type-R的风采，大家也都知道Type-R对于喜欢日系车的人意味着什么，再加上做了手动高配这么一个别人都不敢做的配置，又给火上浇了把油。反观昂克塞拉，我觉得挺可惜的，首先它没有引入绝美无双的两厢车型，虽然没有引入的原因是上一代两厢销量太差了，但对于那些真正喜欢昂克塞拉的人来说是一个遗憾，同时长安马自达一直给不了什么好的销售政策，吸引不了除昂克塞拉粉以外的“路人”客群，更关键的是如果现在去买2.0L的昂克塞拉，差不多都可以买一汽马自达的阿特兹了，别不信，阿特兹17.58万起售，现在最高能让到4万优惠，而且马上3月份就会上新款了，这可是整整高了一个级别的车，是正儿八经B级车。至于福克斯，运动性能非常强，同级别最好的底盘之一，只可惜现在全系都在玩三缸，玩着玩着就把自己玩脱了，不过不得不承认，福克斯的1.5T高功率三缸机是市面上最强三缸机之一，现在福克斯是难以复制当年的辉煌了，买它的也都是真爱粉并且非常认同这台发动机，很多人直接上次顶配甚至顶配，现在优惠也快3万了。接下来是国产车，最近比较火的是名爵的MG6、吉利的星瑞、领克的03……包括这些车在内的国产车都有个特点——越级打市场，要么在价格上越级，给出一个相比合资品牌A级车非常诱人的价格，要么就在级别上越级，用A+级或者准B级的姿态去打A级车市场。空间大、配置高、车机好……几乎已经成为国产车的共性，那为什么还是有人不买账，无非就是品牌价值问题，但是在这个级别的合资车也不见得多有档次，同时国产车的销量现在也不差，可在和合资车比销量的时候，还是比不过。为什么？因为消费者买车有第一选择性，国产车会给很多消费者带来不确定感，就比如不耐用，那问题就来了，什么叫不耐用？车也不是纸糊的，路上那么多网约车，不信去问问他们有没有大修过，我相信现在的国产车，除了某些发动机和变速箱的匹配不行，底盘质感差一点，其他的还真不会有什么大问题。写在最后综合而言，如果手捧十几万的预算想去买台车回来，我觉得考虑清楚几个点之后，其实再去选车就很简单。如果只是为了满足自己的日常代步需求，偶尔后排带点人，那么就遵循自己的喜好和驾驶习惯，追求动力就去买马力大的，追求操控就去买操控好的，追求颜值就去买长的好看的。如果有家用的需求，平时大多数情况下车子里都是坐满的，那么就要综合家庭成员的需求点，比如是要空间大一些，还是内部舒适化配置高一些，或者是主被动安全配置要更到位的。但是，不管怎么样都记住一点，就是在十几万这个价位里，很难有面面俱到的车，所以想清楚自己最需要什么，然后奔着自己最需要的点去选车就可以了。音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注最近，懂车帝的碰撞试验室拿2021款丰田卡罗拉1.2T S-CVT先锋版和2021款大众速腾200TSI DSG舒适智联版，进行了一次碰撞测试，丰田卡罗拉和大众速腾均以64公里/小时的速度、50%的驾驶员侧重叠率完成正面对撞，最后根据车体变形程度及假人伤害数据进行分析评价。我相信有不少朋友的私家车应该都在这个价格区间，家里即使有两台车的话，其中一台车有可能也是在15万上下的区间，用来代步，而这两款车分别是德系和日系的标杆作品，而且都是各自的最新平台架构，所以有人也说，这是MQB大战TNGA。真的，不得不佩服，有钱就是可以任性，这有可能是地球上第一次有媒体，以最直观的用对撞的形式，来对比这两个平台的车型哪个更安全。这个视频并不是很长，但是可以说全程无尿点，两车结束对撞之后，从表面上来看丰田卡罗拉的车身整体溃缩程度更为明显，大众速腾的车身则无明显溃缩情况，而且大众速腾车门可以轻松开启，车内安全气囊均已弹出，并很好的保护到了假人，相比之下，丰田卡罗拉不仅车头溃缩程度相对严重，驾驶舱腿部位置侵入量较大，假人的腿部受损比较严重。最关键的是，碰撞后卡罗拉的车门锁并不会自动打开，导致车门不能从外部开启，每个车门需要分别手动解锁后才能打开。值得注意的是，虽然丰田卡罗拉车内安全气囊也已安全弹出，但通过拆解，内部变形要明显大于速腾，而且卡罗拉的后座直接给弹了起来，由此可见，丰田卡罗拉碰撞后的车身结构表现是略弱于大众速腾的，整体车身变形后，让假人的受损程度相较速腾来说更高。不管别人怎么说，对撞的事件已经结束，没有看过相关视频的小伙伴也可以上网搜一下相关的视频，今天先和各位分享一下我的观点。我们都知道，现在网络上充斥着很多言论，很多人看完碰撞结果以后也是惊讶不已，包括我之前在抖音上发的小视频，底下很多人都在留言，说德系车“测试没赢过、实战没输过”，日本车就是个脆壳子，不值得信赖；也有人说丰田现在的安全已经不只是车身强度啦，还有主被动安全系统的加入，可以在发生事故之前就避免事故……咱们也不好判断是不是有厂家公关在安排水军进行洗白或者趁机造势，但是我们可以聊聊几个关键的点。首先，我们在看碰撞测试的时候，最应该关注的点，是车辆对于驾乘人员的保护，现在所有的碰撞测试，对驾乘人员的保护关注度不够，很多时候都是看车辆的受损情况、车内空间压缩和白车身变形，而且最为关键的是，这一次对撞试验结束之后，我们也并未看到相关的假人受伤情况分析。其实测试碰撞的目的，有些机构是为了给厂家在销售过程中贴个标签，比如被人戏称为“五星批发部”的C-NCAP，有些是出于对自己公司的利益，比如保险公司们一起弄的中保研，为的是考虑到今后的维修成本和保险理赔，但这些都是从车辆本身出发，而实际上车辆碰撞后的人伤情况，才是最符合老百姓实际需要的。毕竟，车子撞坏了有保险公司可以修，太严重的话可以选择报废，而人伤无论轻重都是人受罪，而且影响到生命安全，现在很多家庭都有二孩了，未成年人不能坐在副驾驶，所以碰撞测试的时候，如果能够在后排放上儿童座椅，加上儿童假人，模拟一家几口出行的状态，碰撞后主持人详细讲解一下每个座位及家人分别受伤害的情况，特别是关键部位，比如头部，颈部，胸部等等，那就更完美了。而这次卡罗拉与速腾碰撞，后排座椅直接飞出去，也是网友吐槽最多的点之一。其次，在此次碰撞试验中，卡罗拉的车辆锁没有解除，我在网上看到有人提出质疑，说卡罗拉没有自动落锁，为什么车子会被锁上，我觉得这有很大可能是有一群人在刻意的转移话题，因为车子怎么锁上的根本不重要，重要的是卡罗拉现在进行撞击后，四个门从外侧根本打不开，假如在事故发生后产生了二次风险，比如追尾、起火等情况，那么车内人员的逃脱难度，以及车外人员的救援难度会大大增加。最后，我把这次碰撞试验的视频来来回回看了好几遍，2021款速腾确实是比卡罗拉的车身形变要更少，至少看起来安全性更好，这个没有任何的争议，但是如果我们将一台车的碰撞成绩，无限延伸到整个平台安全性的高低，甚至延伸到日系车和德系车上面，那就有点不讲道理了，包括有很多自媒体这段时间也是揪着这件事疯狂博眼球、抢流量，但是如果你真的信了这些论调去买车，那只能说你太年轻了。而且，这次视频有几个地方我也是存疑的，比如懂车帝为什么选择了速腾，而没有选择同样是MQB平台的朗逸（视频里的声音被哔掉了），因为实际上朗逸的销量比速腾要好，而且价格和卡罗拉更接近，更有代表性，但是节目组给出的理由是认为那个哔掉的车型是中国特供车“有可能减配缩水，达不到想要的效果”，我就比较疑惑节目组想要达到什么样的效果？当然，这并不代表不公平，因为速腾也是大众的代表产品，销量也不低。再一个就是懂车帝这次选择的是2021款的速腾，并且节目组在视频里也特别强调了“之前中保研的碰撞成绩不好，所以21款速腾据说是有25%的增强”。这其实就好理解了，大众在中保研的碰撞测试中翻车之后，开始对自家产品做“应试教育”，有针对性的增强前部碰撞的标准，所以这次对撞成绩明显提高了很多。但是我们也要知道，这种做法是“只保速腾的车内人员不受伤，不管对面的人伤有多重”，是在这种前提下加强了车头的位置，这种做法在道义上大家怎么看，欢迎在评论区讨论。速腾和卡罗拉对撞背后的对决为什么这次的对撞会造成这么大的轰动，是因为速腾是当今德系A级车的代表车型之一，而卡罗拉一直以来都是日系A级车的传奇车型，当然不止如此，这两台车可以算是国内A级车市场的“销量王”。可能有人会问了：“销量王，不应该是轩逸吗？”明面上确实是轩逸，2020年一共卖出去53.8万台，但是轩逸的销量里其实包含了两款车，一款是新轩逸，另一款是轩逸经典，别小看轩逸经典这么一款老掉牙的车型，它可是贡献了轩逸相当一部分的销量，新老轩逸同堂销售，销量还算在一起，确实有点“不讲武德”。照这么个玩法，速腾、朗逸、宝来，这三台车都有亲兄弟般的血缘关系，那大众是不是也可以把销量算一起，那可是破百万的销量；与此同时，卡罗拉和雷凌的关系就更近了，基本可以算作是一台车，算在一起的话销量也可以超过新老轩逸。可惜，速腾、朗逸、宝来的销量是分开算的，因为有一汽大众和上汽大众；卡罗拉和雷凌的销量也是分开算的，因为有一汽丰田和广汽丰田；但是，日产只有一个东风。所以在某种意义上，速腾和卡罗拉确实是国内A级车市场的“销量王”和“顶级流量”，顶流之间的碰撞自然不愁没有关注度。轰动的另一个原因，是大家喜欢“联想”甚至是“连坐”。这次对撞结果是速腾赢了，根据速腾与朗逸、宝来的血缘关系，绝大多数人下意识就会联想到同属于MQB平台的朗逸和宝来也有同样的安全表现，而卡罗拉输了，同理大多数人也会把雷凌给一起连坐了，既然卡罗拉不安全，那么同是TNGA架构的雷凌也一样不安全，速腾是MQB平台，而现在大众几乎所有新车都出自这个平台的分支，那么是不是MQB平台下的车型都这么抗撞呢？我相信，稍微懂点车的人肯定知道，绝对不可能。卡罗拉是TNGA架构下的C平台，这也是丰田一直宣传的全新架构、全新平台，这个视频之所以引起广泛关注，的确是因为MQB与TNGA的对决，牵扯到所有MQB平台和TNGA架构的车，这么一来，这种轰动效应也就爆发式地扩散开了，甚至可能有人直接就会连带着判定MQB就是比TNGA安全，大众就是比丰田安全，顺带进一步坐实了德系就是比日系安全的说法。显然这种想法是非常不理智的，毕竟一个大的平台、架构下面，会根据车型级别细分出各种分支，比如MQB就有A0、A1、A2等等，TNGA也有TNGA-B、TNGA-C、TNGA-K等等，同时平台或架构只是安全性的一方面，而每款产品的设计不同，主被动安全配置不同等等，也会随着车型级别的提升而得出不同结论，举个例子，如果将速腾的对手换成亚洲龙，你会觉得速腾还能胜过亚洲龙吗？我们不得不承认，这次对撞带来的影响面非常之广，解读的方式也是多种多样，虽然主持人已经足够专业了，但是在网友层面还是会演变成各种不同的答案，所以这种碰撞测试，我其实内心是希望平台坚持下去，做的越多越好，但是从另一方面，感觉每次碰撞都会造成一次不小的舆论风波，而后续的二次传播，平台不会再去针对性的解读，大家自由发挥的空间还是太大，也容易对真实选购的客户产生困扰。毕竟，速腾和卡罗拉的销量摆在这里，直接影响到各自海量老车主的利益和众多准车主的选择，老车主们心惊胆战，赢了皆大欢喜、输了怨声载道，准车主们静观其变，赢了就赶紧买，输了就换别家。再加上消费者的联想和连坐，赢了的那方，同品牌所有车都会跟着沾光，尤其是那些有血缘关系的车型，输了的那方，这个品牌旗下车型可能都会跟着被带进坑里，这次除了卡罗拉最遭殃的就是雷凌了，我也很担心这一类节目今后被充值的可能性，只要影响力足够大、利益足够诱人，我相信厂家会想尽一切办法来一撞成名。再换回客户角度来看，速腾和卡罗拉车主如果刚提车，恰巧有刚看到这个视频，速腾车主会不会长舒一口气，坚信自己的选择是正确的，又或者有人“不巧”买了卡罗拉，新车还没捂热就遭遇晴天霹雳，会不会连觉都睡不好？其实，不用过分紧张，这种对撞更多还是一个参考，真正上路驾驶时的环境根本不会像在实验室中那么理想，变量实在是太多了，在各自变量影响下很可能又会出现另一种情况。而现在对于那些本来就在速腾和卡罗拉之间来回纠结的人们，恐怕这次对撞的结果，会直接影响到他们的选择，今年速腾的销量会不会反超卡罗拉，倒是可以好好期待一下，毕竟去年全年销量，速腾落后卡罗拉4万多台。我们有哪些A级车可以选择这次对撞说完了，不如借着这个机会再聊聊市场上的那些A级车，如果你的购车计划被这次对撞打乱了，也可以当作参考。首先是德系，在A级车扎堆的10万~15万价位，最主流的德系车就是大众了，以这次对撞的速腾来说，经过这几年持续地增配、官降，销量一直维持在一个高位，去年销量接近30万台，但大众的A级车同质化非常严重，速腾、朗逸、宝来之间甚至存在一个互相竞争的关系，尤其是朗逸和宝来，代表了一汽和上汽的竞争，反倒是速腾的定位会稍高一点，上汽大众虽然也有兄弟车型凌度，但是明显不是速腾的对手。不管如何，速腾、朗逸、宝来都属于万金油车型，没有明显的优点，也没有明显的缺点，大众真是将中国的“中庸之道”研究得透透的，而选择它们的人也有一个共性，那就是保守、务实，大家买什么他们就买什么，当然这个级别的消费者普遍没有什么个性化需求，跟随主流是最稳妥的方式。在品牌层面，很多地方大众标依然等于有面子，大众的高销量反映在生活中就是一种认同感，你买别的品牌可能会被亲戚朋友DISS，但是你买一台大众回去没有人会在背后议论你的选择，所以在国内的A级车市场，你买什么都有可能出错，唯独买大众是不太可能出错的。下面是日系车，卡罗拉和雷凌上了1.5L三缸车型，前不久我们刚出过一期节目，感兴趣的可以回听一下。个人认为，除非丰田将1.2T彻底停产了，否则它仍然是卡罗拉和雷凌的销量主力，毕竟长久以来形成的三缸歧视在短期内是不可能消失的，而且卡罗拉和雷凌的三缸并没有什么肉眼可见的优势。顺便说一句，虽然卡罗拉这次对撞输了，但它和雷凌的安全气囊配得多，正面气囊、侧气囊、头部气囊、膝部气囊、坐垫气囊全系标配，同时车道偏离预警、车道保持辅助、主动刹车在卡罗拉上也是标配，在雷凌上则是从次低配开始配备，这点同级别没多少车能做到（至少大众没有做到）。但有意思的是，根据我在二手车市场摸爬滚打的经验，德系车如果撞过，保值率并不会跌得太惨，但日系车只要撞过，那就卖不上什么价，具体原因我不是很清楚，是不是因为在很多人心里日系车都是不经碰的？除了三缸版本外，卡罗拉/雷凌的1.2T和混动车型该如何选，我觉得相比1.2T车型，混动车型的优势并不是油耗、省钱，毕竟它俩之间的差价，想单纯靠后期油耗去弥补，需要一个相当长的周期，“省油”不代表“省钱”，所以除非追求混动车型稍好的行驶品质，否则一般人买1.2T都已经足够日常使用。轩逸，销量王，虽然这个销量是新老合力“拼凑”出来的，但不得不承认轩逸的特性确实适合这个级别的消费者，它的特性是什么？没短板、没毛病，就像一个高级一点的老年代步车，但家用代步肯定是足够了。但是，在没短板、没毛病的另一面，就是没有新技术，轩逸经典已经是非常老旧的车型了，而新轩逸也没有带来什么技术上的突破，同时轩逸的CVT变速箱我觉得也是一个槽点，虽然在油耗上是比较经济的，但是耐用性和在寒冷地区的低温保护问题，一直是大家吐槽的点，但是似乎丝毫没有影响销量。轩逸的动力参数其实很一般，但是绝大多数人试驾之后，反而觉得够用了，1.6L自吸发动机匹配CVT变速箱，12秒左右才能破百，也没有更高阶的动力总成可供选择，冷保护问题其实就是在动辄零下几十度的北方冬季，在车子热起来之前，踩油门是跑不快的。当然，日产的CVT变速箱故障率一般都是出现在几十万公里之后，正常家庭使用期限内，还真的就没啥问题。思域、昂克塞拉、福克斯，两个日系、一个美系。首先，这代思域真没什么好说的了，毕竟这种主打运动的A级车看上去没有那么“会过日子”，在上了年纪的人眼中是比较难以接受的，排除这类消费群体之后依然能够获得如此高的销量，主要还是产品的名声在外，有历史、有传承、有故事、调性一直保持的很好，是这个级别里最能拿来吹牛的车型，思域三厢本就非常火了，两厢车型造型非常高调，一定程度上还原了Type-R的风采，大家也都知道Type-R对于喜欢日系车的人意味着什么，再加上做了手动高配这么一个别人都不敢做的配置，又给火上浇了把油。反观昂克塞拉，我觉得挺可惜的，首先它没有引入绝美无双的两厢车型，虽然没有引入的原因是上一代两厢销量太差了，但对于那些真正喜欢昂克塞拉的人来说是一个遗憾，同时长安马自达一直给不了什么好的销售政策，吸引不了除昂克塞拉粉以外的“路人”客群，更关键的是如果现在去买2.0L的昂克塞拉，差不多都可以买一汽马自达的阿特兹了，别不信，阿特兹17.58万起售，现在最高能让到4万优惠，而且马上3月份就会上新款了，这可是整整高了一个级别的车，是正儿八经B级车。至于福克斯，运动性能非常强，同级别最好的底盘之一，只可惜现在全系都在玩三缸，玩着玩着就把自己玩脱了，不过不得不承认，福克斯的1.5T高功率三缸机是市面上最强三缸机之一，现在福克斯是难以复制当年的辉煌了，买它的也都是真爱粉并且非常认同这台发动机，很多人直接上次顶配甚至顶配，现在优惠也快3万了。接下来是国产车，最近比较火的是名爵的MG6、吉利的星瑞、领克的03……包括这些车在内的国产车都有个特点——越级打市场，要么在价格上越级，给出一个相比合资品牌A级车非常诱人的价格，要么就在级别上越级，用A+级或者准B级的姿态去打A级车市场。空间大、配置高、车机好……几乎已经成为国产车的共性，那为什么还是有人不买账，无非就是品牌价值问题，但是在这个级别的合资车也不见得多有档次，同时国产车的销量现在也不差，可在和合资车比销量的时候，还是比不过。为什么？因为消费者买车有第一选择性，国产车会给很多消费者带来不确定感，就比如不耐用，那问题就来了，什么叫不耐用？车也不是纸糊的，路上那么多网约车，不信去问问他们有没有大修过，我相信现在的国产车，除了某些发动机和变速箱的匹配不行，底盘质感差一点，其他的还真不会有什么大问题。写在最后综合而言，如果手捧十几万的预算想去买台车回来，我觉得考虑清楚几个点之后，其实再去选车就很简单。如果只是为了满足自己的日常代步需求，偶尔后排带点人，那么就遵循自己的喜好和驾驶习惯，追求动力就去买马力大的，追求操控就去买操控好的，追求颜值就去买长的好看的。如果有家用的需求，平时大多数情况下车子里都是坐满的，那么就要综合家庭成员的需求点，比如是要空间大一些，还是内部舒适化配置高一些，或者是主被动安全配置要更到位的。但是，不管怎么样都记住一点，就是在十几万这个价位里，很难有面面俱到的车，所以想清楚自己最需要什么，然后奔着自己最需要的点去选车就可以了。音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注最近，懂车帝的碰撞试验室拿2021款丰田卡罗拉1.2T S-CVT先锋版和2021款大众速腾200TSI DSG舒适智联版，进行了一次碰撞测试，丰田卡罗拉和大众速腾均以64公里/小时的速度、50%的驾驶员侧重叠率完成正面对撞，最后根据车体变形程度及假人伤害数据进行分析评价。我相信有不少朋友的私家车应该都在这个价格区间，家里即使有两台车的话，其中一台车有可能也是在15万上下的区间，用来代步，而这两款车分别是德系和日系的标杆作品，而且都是各自的最新平台架构，所以有人也说，这是MQB大战TNGA。真的，不得不佩服，有钱就是可以任性，这有可能是地球上第一次有媒体，以最直观的用对撞的形式，来对比这两个平台的车型哪个更安全。这个视频并不是很长，但是可以说全程无尿点，两车结束对撞之后，从表面上来看丰田卡罗拉的车身整体溃缩程度更为明显，大众速腾的车身则无明显溃缩情况，而且大众速腾车门可以轻松开启，车内安全气囊均已弹出，并很好的保护到了假人，相比之下，丰田卡罗拉不仅车头溃缩程度相对严重，驾驶舱腿部位置侵入量较大，假人的腿部受损比较严重。最关键的是，碰撞后卡罗拉的车门锁并不会自动打开，导致车门不能从外部开启，每个车门需要分别手动解锁后才能打开。值得注意的是，虽然丰田卡罗拉车内安全气囊也已安全弹出，但通过拆解，内部变形要明显大于速腾，而且卡罗拉的后座直接给弹了起来，由此可见，丰田卡罗拉碰撞后的车身结构表现是略弱于大众速腾的，整体车身变形后，让假人的受损程度相较速腾来说更高。不管别人怎么说，对撞的事件已经结束，没有看过相关视频的小伙伴也可以上网搜一下相关的视频，今天先和各位分享一下我的观点。我们都知道，现在网络上充斥着很多言论，很多人看完碰撞结果以后也是惊讶不已，包括我之前在抖音上发的小视频，底下很多人都在留言，说德系车“测试没赢过、实战没输过”，日本车就是个脆壳子，不值得信赖；也有人说丰田现在的安全已经不只是车身强度啦，还有主被动安全系统的加入，可以在发生事故之前就避免事故……咱们也不好判断是不是有厂家公关在安排水军进行洗白或者趁机造势，但是我们可以聊聊几个关键的点。首先，我们在看碰撞测试的时候，最应该关注的点，是车辆对于驾乘人员的保护，现在所有的碰撞测试，对驾乘人员的保护关注度不够，很多时候都是看车辆的受损情况、车内空间压缩和白车身变形，而且最为关键的是，这一次对撞试验结束之后，我们也并未看到相关的假人受伤情况分析。其实测试碰撞的目的，有些机构是为了给厂家在销售过程中贴个标签，比如被人戏称为“五星批发部”的C-NCAP，有些是出于对自己公司的利益，比如保险公司们一起弄的中保研，为的是考虑到今后的维修成本和保险理赔，但这些都是从车辆本身出发，而实际上车辆碰撞后的人伤情况，才是最符合老百姓实际需要的。毕竟，车子撞坏了有保险公司可以修，太严重的话可以选择报废，而人伤无论轻重都是人受罪，而且影响到生命安全，现在很多家庭都有二孩了，未成年人不能坐在副驾驶，所以碰撞测试的时候，如果能够在后排放上儿童座椅，加上儿童假人，模拟一家几口出行的状态，碰撞后主持人详细讲解一下每个座位及家人分别受伤害的情况，特别是关键部位，比如头部，颈部，胸部等等，那就更完美了。而这次卡罗拉与速腾碰撞，后排座椅直接飞出去，也是网友吐槽最多的点之一。其次，在此次碰撞试验中，卡罗拉的车辆锁没有解除，我在网上看到有人提出质疑，说卡罗拉没有自动落锁，为什么车子会被锁上，我觉得这有很大可能是有一群人在刻意的转移话题，因为车子怎么锁上的根本不重要，重要的是卡罗拉现在进行撞击后，四个门从外侧根本打不开，假如在事故发生后产生了二次风险，比如追尾、起火等情况，那么车内人员的逃脱难度，以及车外人员的救援难度会大大增加。最后，我把这次碰撞试验的视频来来回回看了好几遍，2021款速腾确实是比卡罗拉的车身形变要更少，至少看起来安全性更好，这个没有任何的争议，但是如果我们将一台车的碰撞成绩，无限延伸到整个平台安全性的高低，甚至延伸到日系车和德系车上面，那就有点不讲道理了，包括有很多自媒体这段时间也是揪着这件事疯狂博眼球、抢流量，但是如果你真的信了这些论调去买车，那只能说你太年轻了。而且，这次视频有几个地方我也是存疑的，比如懂车帝为什么选择了速腾，而没有选择同样是MQB平台的朗逸（视频里的声音被哔掉了），因为实际上朗逸的销量比速腾要好，而且价格和卡罗拉更接近，更有代表性，但是节目组给出的理由是认为那个哔掉的车型是中国特供车“有可能减配缩水，达不到想要的效果”，我就比较疑惑节目组想要达到什么样的效果？当然，这并不代表不公平，因为速腾也是大众的代表产品，销量也不低。再一个就是懂车帝这次选择的是2021款的速腾，并且节目组在视频里也特别强调了“之前中保研的碰撞成绩不好，所以21款速腾据说是有25%的增强”。这其实就好理解了，大众在中保研的碰撞测试中翻车之后，开始对自家产品做“应试教育”，有针对性的增强前部碰撞的标准，所以这次对撞成绩明显提高了很多。但是我们也要知道，这种做法是“只保速腾的车内人员不受伤，不管对面的人伤有多重”，是在这种前提下加强了车头的位置，这种做法在道义上大家怎么看，欢迎在评论区讨论。速腾和卡罗拉对撞背后的对决为什么这次的对撞会造成这么大的轰动，是因为速腾是当今德系A级车的代表车型之一，而卡罗拉一直以来都是日系A级车的传奇车型，当然不止如此，这两台车可以算是国内A级车市场的“销量王”。可能有人会问了：“销量王，不应该是轩逸吗？”明面上确实是轩逸，2020年一共卖出去53.8万台，但是轩逸的销量里其实包含了两款车，一款是新轩逸，另一款是轩逸经典，别小看轩逸经典这么一款老掉牙的车型，它可是贡献了轩逸相当一部分的销量，新老轩逸同堂销售，销量还算在一起，确实有点“不讲武德”。照这么个玩法，速腾、朗逸、宝来，这三台车都有亲兄弟般的血缘关系，那大众是不是也可以把销量算一起，那可是破百万的销量；与此同时，卡罗拉和雷凌的关系就更近了，基本可以算作是一台车，算在一起的话销量也可以超过新老轩逸。可惜，速腾、朗逸、宝来的销量是分开算的，因为有一汽大众和上汽大众；卡罗拉和雷凌的销量也是分开算的，因为有一汽丰田和广汽丰田；但是，日产只有一个东风。所以在某种意义上，速腾和卡罗拉确实是国内A级车市场的“销量王”和“顶级流量”，顶流之间的碰撞自然不愁没有关注度。轰动的另一个原因，是大家喜欢“联想”甚至是“连坐”。这次对撞结果是速腾赢了，根据速腾与朗逸、宝来的血缘关系，绝大多数人下意识就会联想到同属于MQB平台的朗逸和宝来也有同样的安全表现，而卡罗拉输了，同理大多数人也会把雷凌给一起连坐了，既然卡罗拉不安全，那么同是TNGA架构的雷凌也一样不安全，速腾是MQB平台，而现在大众几乎所有新车都出自这个平台的分支，那么是不是MQB平台下的车型都这么抗撞呢？我相信，稍微懂点车的人肯定知道，绝对不可能。卡罗拉是TNGA架构下的C平台，这也是丰田一直宣传的全新架构、全新平台，这个视频之所以引起广泛关注，的确是因为MQB与TNGA的对决，牵扯到所有MQB平台和TNGA架构的车，这么一来，这种轰动效应也就爆发式地扩散开了，甚至可能有人直接就会连带着判定MQB就是比TNGA安全，大众就是比丰田安全，顺带进一步坐实了德系就是比日系安全的说法。显然这种想法是非常不理智的，毕竟一个大的平台、架构下面，会根据车型级别细分出各种分支，比如MQB就有A0、A1、A2等等，TNGA也有TNGA-B、TNGA-C、TNGA-K等等，同时平台或架构只是安全性的一方面，而每款产品的设计不同，主被动安全配置不同等等，也会随着车型级别的提升而得出不同结论，举个例子，如果将速腾的对手换成亚洲龙，你会觉得速腾还能胜过亚洲龙吗？我们不得不承认，这次对撞带来的影响面非常之广，解读的方式也是多种多样，虽然主持人已经足够专业了，但是在网友层面还是会演变成各种不同的答案，所以这种碰撞测试，我其实内心是希望平台坚持下去，做的越多越好，但是从另一方面，感觉每次碰撞都会造成一次不小的舆论风波，而后续的二次传播，平台不会再去针对性的解读，大家自由发挥的空间还是太大，也容易对真实选购的客户产生困扰。毕竟，速腾和卡罗拉的销量摆在这里，直接影响到各自海量老车主的利益和众多准车主的选择，老车主们心惊胆战，赢了皆大欢喜、输了怨声载道，准车主们静观其变，赢了就赶紧买，输了就换别家。再加上消费者的联想和连坐，赢了的那方，同品牌所有车都会跟着沾光，尤其是那些有血缘关系的车型，输了的那方，这个品牌旗下车型可能都会跟着被带进坑里，这次除了卡罗拉最遭殃的就是雷凌了，我也很担心这一类节目今后被充值的可能性，只要影响力足够大、利益足够诱人，我相信厂家会想尽一切办法来一撞成名。再换回客户角度来看，速腾和卡罗拉车主如果刚提车，恰巧有刚看到这个视频，速腾车主会不会长舒一口气，坚信自己的选择是正确的，又或者有人“不巧”买了卡罗拉，新车还没捂热就遭遇晴天霹雳，会不会连觉都睡不好？其实，不用过分紧张，这种对撞更多还是一个参考，真正上路驾驶时的环境根本不会像在实验室中那么理想，变量实在是太多了，在各自变量影响下很可能又会出现另一种情况。而现在对于那些本来就在速腾和卡罗拉之间来回纠结的人们，恐怕这次对撞的结果，会直接影响到他们的选择，今年速腾的销量会不会反超卡罗拉，倒是可以好好期待一下，毕竟去年全年销量，速腾落后卡罗拉4万多台。我们有哪些A级车可以选择这次对撞说完了，不如借着这个机会再聊聊市场上的那些A级车，如果你的购车计划被这次对撞打乱了，也可以当作参考。首先是德系，在A级车扎堆的10万~15万价位，最主流的德系车就是大众了，以这次对撞的速腾来说，经过这几年持续地增配、官降，销量一直维持在一个高位，去年销量接近30万台，但大众的A级车同质化非常严重，速腾、朗逸、宝来之间甚至存在一个互相竞争的关系，尤其是朗逸和宝来，代表了一汽和上汽的竞争，反倒是速腾的定位会稍高一点，上汽大众虽然也有兄弟车型凌度，但是明显不是速腾的对手。不管如何，速腾、朗逸、宝来都属于万金油车型，没有明显的优点，也没有明显的缺点，大众真是将中国的“中庸之道”研究得透透的，而选择它们的人也有一个共性，那就是保守、务实，大家买什么他们就买什么，当然这个级别的消费者普遍没有什么个性化需求，跟随主流是最稳妥的方式。在品牌层面，很多地方大众标依然等于有面子，大众的高销量反映在生活中就是一种认同感，你买别的品牌可能会被亲戚朋友DISS，但是你买一台大众回去没有人会在背后议论你的选择，所以在国内的A级车市场，你买什么都有可能出错，唯独买大众是不太可能出错的。下面是日系车，卡罗拉和雷凌上了1.5L三缸车型，前不久我们刚出过一期节目，感兴趣的可以回听一下。个人认为，除非丰田将1.2T彻底停产了，否则它仍然是卡罗拉和雷凌的销量主力，毕竟长久以来形成的三缸歧视在短期内是不可能消失的，而且卡罗拉和雷凌的三缸并没有什么肉眼可见的优势。顺便说一句，虽然卡罗拉这次对撞输了，但它和雷凌的安全气囊配得多，正面气囊、侧气囊、头部气囊、膝部气囊、坐垫气囊全系标配，同时车道偏离预警、车道保持辅助、主动刹车在卡罗拉上也是标配，在雷凌上则是从次低配开始配备，这点同级别没多少车能做到（至少大众没有做到）。但有意思的是，根据我在二手车市场摸爬滚打的经验，德系车如果撞过，保值率并不会跌得太惨，但日系车只要撞过，那就卖不上什么价，具体原因我不是很清楚，是不是因为在很多人心里日系车都是不经碰的？除了三缸版本外，卡罗拉/雷凌的1.2T和混动车型该如何选，我觉得相比1.2T车型，混动车型的优势并不是油耗、省钱，毕竟它俩之间的差价，想单纯靠后期油耗去弥补，需要一个相当长的周期，“省油”不代表“省钱”，所以除非追求混动车型稍好的行驶品质，否则一般人买1.2T都已经足够日常使用。轩逸，销量王，虽然这个销量是新老合力“拼凑”出来的，但不得不承认轩逸的特性确实适合这个级别的消费者，它的特性是什么？没短板、没毛病，就像一个高级一点的老年代步车，但家用代步肯定是足够了。但是，在没短板、没毛病的另一面，就是没有新技术，轩逸经典已经是非常老旧的车型了，而新轩逸也没有带来什么技术上的突破，同时轩逸的CVT变速箱我觉得也是一个槽点，虽然在油耗上是比较经济的，但是耐用性和在寒冷地区的低温保护问题，一直是大家吐槽的点，但是似乎丝毫没有影响销量。轩逸的动力参数其实很一般，但是绝大多数人试驾之后，反而觉得够用了，1.6L自吸发动机匹配CVT变速箱，12秒左右才能破百，也没有更高阶的动力总成可供选择，冷保护问题其实就是在动辄零下几十度的北方冬季，在车子热起来之前，踩油门是跑不快的。当然，日产的CVT变速箱故障率一般都是出现在几十万公里之后，正常家庭使用期限内，还真的就没啥问题。思域、昂克塞拉、福克斯，两个日系、一个美系。首先，这代思域真没什么好说的了，毕竟这种主打运动的A级车看上去没有那么“会过日子”，在上了年纪的人眼中是比较难以接受的，排除这类消费群体之后依然能够获得如此高的销量，主要还是产品的名声在外，有历史、有传承、有故事、调性一直保持的很好，是这个级别里最能拿来吹牛的车型，思域三厢本就非常火了，两厢车型造型非常高调，一定程度上还原了Type-R的风采，大家也都知道Type-R对于喜欢日系车的人意味着什么，再加上做了手动高配这么一个别人都不敢做的配置，又给火上浇了把油。反观昂克塞拉，我觉得挺可惜的，首先它没有引入绝美无双的两厢车型，虽然没有引入的原因是上一代两厢销量太差了，但对于那些真正喜欢昂克塞拉的人来说是一个遗憾，同时长安马自达一直给不了什么好的销售政策，吸引不了除昂克塞拉粉以外的“路人”客群，更关键的是如果现在去买2.0L的昂克塞拉，差不多都可以买一汽马自达的阿特兹了，别不信，阿特兹17.58万起售，现在最高能让到4万优惠，而且马上3月份就会上新款了，这可是整整高了一个级别的车，是正儿八经B级车。至于福克斯，运动性能非常强，同级别最好的底盘之一，只可惜现在全系都在玩三缸，玩着玩着就把自己玩脱了，不过不得不承认，福克斯的1.5T高功率三缸机是市面上最强三缸机之一，现在福克斯是难以复制当年的辉煌了，买它的也都是真爱粉并且非常认同这台发动机，很多人直接上次顶配甚至顶配，现在优惠也快3万了。接下来是国产车，最近比较火的是名爵的MG6、吉利的星瑞、领克的03……包括这些车在内的国产车都有个特点——越级打市场，要么在价格上越级，给出一个相比合资品牌A级车非常诱人的价格，要么就在级别上越级，用A+级或者准B级的姿态去打A级车市场。空间大、配置高、车机好……几乎已经成为国产车的共性，那为什么还是有人不买账，无非就是品牌价值问题，但是在这个级别的合资车也不见得多有档次，同时国产车的销量现在也不差，可在和合资车比销量的时候，还是比不过。为什么？因为消费者买车有第一选择性，国产车会给很多消费者带来不确定感，就比如不耐用，那问题就来了，什么叫不耐用？车也不是纸糊的，路上那么多网约车，不信去问问他们有没有大修过，我相信现在的国产车，除了某些发动机和变速箱的匹配不行，底盘质感差一点，其他的还真不会有什么大问题。写在最后综合而言，如果手捧十几万的预算想去买台车回来，我觉得考虑清楚几个点之后，其实再去选车就很简单。如果只是为了满足自己的日常代步需求，偶尔后排带点人，那么就遵循自己的喜好和驾驶习惯，追求动力就去买马力大的，追求操控就去买操控好的，追求颜值就去买长的好看的。如果有家用的需求，平时大多数情况下车子里都是坐满的，那么就要综合家庭成员的需求点，比如是要空间大一些，还是内部舒适化配置高一些，或者是主被动安全配置要更到位的。但是，不管怎么样都记住一点，就是在十几万这个价位里，很难有面面俱到的车，所以想清楚自己最需要什么，然后奔着自己最需要的点去选车就可以了。音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

Show #883 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 4th September 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. TESLA SHARES FALL AFTER STOCK WAS NOT ADDED TO THE S&P 500 "After showing a fourth straight quarter of profitability, many assumed Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) would be added to the S&P 500. After hitting this milestone, the electric vehicle maker qualified for entry into the index of the United State's 500 largest companies." reportd Yahoo! Finance: "After the S&P 500 added Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ: ETSY), Teradyne Inc (NASDAQ: TER) and Catalent (NYSE: CTLT) on Friday evening, the lack of a Tesla announcement sent shares sinking. Meeting qualifications does not automatically mean a company will be added to the index, as a committee makes the final decision on which stocks to add each month. Many assumed Tesla would be added to the S&P 500 index. The company is currently one of the top 10 largest in the U.S. based on market cap. While it won't affect day to day operations, it will hurt the share price." CNBC points out: "Even if a company meets these criteria as well as the other stipulations, that does not guarantee inclusion in the index. The committee meets on a quarterly basis to rebalance the index, but companies can be added or removed from the S&P at any time." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-shares-fall-stock-not-000938393.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/04/tesla-falls-after-sp-500-adds-etsy-and-two-others-bypassing-carmaker.html ELON MUSK MEETS WITH VW CEO "Elon Musk had a special meeting with VW CEO Hebert Diess where he got a preview of the ID.3 and ID.4 electric cars. As we have been reporting over the last few days, Musk has been in Germany to visit a few projects related to Tesla." says Electrek: "A VW official confirmed the meeting between the two CEOs, but they didn’t elaborate on the nature of it. Tesla’s CEO was also apparently given a preview of the ID.3 and the ID.4 electric vehicles at the airport. Musk and Diess both had good things to say about each other in the past. Just hours before the meeting, Musk told fans outside Gigafactory Berlin that he thought Volkswagen was doing a lot for electrification." Handelsblatt reported: “When Elon Musk’s private jet, the “Gulfstream G650”, took off from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport on Wednesday at 9:17 pm, everyone thought: The Tesla boss’s visit to Germany is over. But only 26 minutes later the plane landed at Braunschweig Airport. The reason for the stopover was a visit to VW boss Herbert Diess.” https://electrek.co/2020/09/04/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-meets-vw-ceo-preview-id3-id4-electric-cars/ VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 EV INTERIOR: SCREENS AND TOUCH-SENSITIVITY "The reveal of the Volkswagen ID.4, the first member of VW's new family of battery-powered vehicles slated to come to the U.S., is getting closer. Before we see the exterior of the crossover EV later this month, Volkswagen is giving us a preview of the interior. Naturally, screens feature prominently, but the most notable characteristic may be the wholesale embrace of touch-sensitivity." according to Autoblog: "The images show a large freestanding center screen that is able to display multiple functions at once — in this case, navigation, audio, and phone, along with what may be an equalizer. Another image shows that the central display has three pages of menus. The center screen dwarfs the instrument cluster, which is another screen. Contained within the image of the instrument cluster, by the way, is a rendering of the ID.4 that gives us our best look yet at the exterior of the vehicle in its production form. Extending from the right of the cluster screen is a trapezoidal-shaped knob that functions as the gearshift. Touch the end of the knob to actuate the parking brake. The parking brake button appears to be touch-sensitive, as are all the buttons we can see in these pictures" https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/04/volkswagen-id-4-ev-interior-previewed/ UK IN AUGUST – 9.75% ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET SHARE "The UK saw 9.75% plugin electric vehicle market share in August 2020, up from 4.4% in August 2019. Year to date plugin share now stands at 8.2%. The overall auto market was down 5.8% compared to a year ago, at just over 87,000 units." writes Dr Max Holland for CleanTechnica: "The 9.75% August result was weighted strongly in favour of full battery electric vehicles (BEVs) over plug in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), with market shares of 6.4% and 3.3% respectively. This was quite a significant change in weighing from the cumulative year-to-date shares of 4.9% BEV versus 3.3% PHEV. We can see that the Tesla Model 3, Nissan LEAF, MG ZS EV, Jaguar I-Pace and Renault Zoe were the most popular BEVs, all selling over 2000 units in the first half of the year. The BMW 330e and the Mitsubishi Outlander were highest selling PHEVs. The MG ZS EV deserves a shout out for grabbing the 3rd place spot for BEVs in its first full year of availability – a great achievement. Notably, the Tesla Model 3 was by far the most popular UK plugin in the first half of the year, outselling the next 4 BEVs combined." https://cleantechnica.com/2020/09/05/uk-in-august-9-75-electric-vehicle-market-share-more-than-2x-year-on-year/ BMW I3 PRODUCTION WILL BE INCREASED IN ORDER TO MEET DEMAND "BMW is probably not developing a direct replacement for the i3 electric car, so when it goes out of production, it will most likely remain a unique one-off model in the company’s history. But its merits go beyond its quirky, boxy looks and the fact that it’s electric - it’s actually one of BMW’s recent success stories." says InsideEVs: "The i3 debuted in September of 2013 and at the time it quickly became the world’s second best selling EV, after the Nissan Leaf, then it dropped to third position where it stayed between 2014 and 2016. So the i3 has been in production for almost seven years now and it has surprisingly remained unwaveringly popular. The United States is its best selling market, where around 50,000 examples have been delivered in total since it was launched. Total global sales exceeded 165,000 at the start of 2020 and according to some recent information, the figure will keep growing because the i3 is still in very high demand around the world." https://insideevs.com/news/441425/bmw-i3-production-increased-to-meet-demand/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles VOLTA ZERO LAUNCHED "Volta Trucks has launched the Zero, the world's first purpose-built pure-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle. With a range of between 95 - 125 miles on a charge, the Volta Zero is targeted at 'last mile' deliveries, particularly in urban areas. Fitted with a battery of between 160 to 200 kWh, the Volta Zero is likely to be built in the UK, with full production due to start in 2022. By the end of 2020, the Swedish firm expects the first prototype to be built, with test vehicles due to start trials with customers early next year." says Next Green Car: "Designed to be capable of operating in narrow city streets, the Volta Zero aims to undertake the role that three or four 3.5-tonne vehicles would normally do - reducing congestion and emissions. With a payload of 8,600 kg and an overall volume of 37.7 m3, the Volta Zero is designed to accommodate 16 Euro pallets. A refrigerated cargo box will also be available, which uses the vehicle's battery for operation." https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8982/volta-zero-launched/ ŠKODA AUTO INVESTS 32 MILLION EUROS IN ENYAQ IV PRODUCTION LINE AT ITS MLADÁ BOLESLAV PLANT ŠKODA AUTO has now completed the conversion of an existing production line at its main factory in Mladá Boleslav for MEB vehicles, which has been in progress since last summer. This work included structural changes to the building as well as modifications to the conveyor technology and final assembly line. Investments made amount to 32 million euros. It is now the only line in the entire Volkswagen Group on which vehicles based on the MEB modular electric car platform and the MQB modular transverse matrix can be built alongside one another. This means that the all-electric ŠKODA ENYAQ iV1, the OCTAVIA2 and the KAROQ3 compact SUV all roll off the same production line at the Mladá Boleslav plant.

Show #873 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 21st August 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. SERIES PRODUCTION OF VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 BEGINS From VW: Volkswagen’s electric offensive continues to gather speed: Series production of the brand’s first all-electric SUV, the ID.4, gets underway in Zwickau. The world premiere of the ID.4 follows at the end of September. Preparations to roll out the electric SUV at international level are also in full swing. Pre-production of the ID.4 has already started at the Anting plant in China, the Chattanooga site will start the ID.4 production in 2022. The SUV will initially be launched with rear-wheel drive, while an electric all-wheel drive version will be added a later date. PushEVs points out: "The Volkswagen ID.4 made in Europe is using the new NCM 712 battery cells made by LG Chem in Poland. Later on, the made in USA version will get its battery cells from SK Innovation and the made in China version will probably get its battery cells from CATL. Made with very energy dense and affordable NCM 712 batteries – that cost below 100 euros per kWh -, the expensive Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4 will be extremely profitable electric cars (on average way more than 15.000 euros per unit). That’s why Volkswagen will only try to sell the cheaper electric triplets (UpMiiGo) made on the old MQB platform when it’s required to reach EU emissions targets. This year thanks to the COVID-19 lockdowns, ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) car sales dropped a lot, this is great but also means that Volkswagen won’t have to sell as many electric cars as it was previously expected. The very profitable ID.3 and ID.4 will be enough to comply with EU emissions regulations and VW doesn’t need to sell any more triplets this year." https://pushevs.com/2020/08/20/series-production-of-volkswagen-id-4-begins-in-zwickau/ TESLA IS ROLLING OUT SUSPENSION UPDATE WITH REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION "Tesla has started rolling out a new suspension update with real-time visualization of the suspension for Model S and Model X vehicles equipped with the new fully-adaptive damping suspension." says Fred at Electrek: "Model S and Model X vehicles have long been equipped with a standard “smart” air suspension, but when Tesla launched the new Raven Model S and Model X vehicles last year, it updated the vehicles with a new adaptive suspension." Tesla said: "You can now see a real-time visualization of how the suspension system is dynamically adjusting each wheel’s damping to account for changing road conditions. Tap “Show Suspension Data” to get even more real-time information. Adaptive Suspension Damping now has an ADVANCED setting that allows you to set custom levels of Ride Comfort and Handling in addition to the existing COMFORT, AUTO, and SPORT settings. We have simplified the Tesla suspension control logic to better support both temporary and more permanent heights. If Ride Heights is manually adjusted to High or Very High, your car now automatically lowers after you drive a short distance. For snowy or off-road conditions, tap “Keep” next to the Ride Height slider to keep the height at High or Very High until you reach the maximum allowed speed. For steep driveways or places where you repeatedly need a higher ride height, tap “Always Auto-Raise at this location.” This feature will raise suspension to the saved height when re-entering the location.” https://electrek.co/2020/08/21/tesla-suspension-update-real-time-visualization/ TESLA’S AUTOPILOT TO BENEFIT FROM UK PUSH FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING "The UK government already has said that by spring 2021, hands-free driving could become legal on the country's roads. In preparation for this transition, officials and pertinent organizations are now initiating a deeper dive into the technology." says Tesmanian: "The call for evidence will look at the Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS)--an automated technology that can take over control of the vehicle at low speeds, keeping it in the lane on motorways. Following the approval of ALKS Regulation in June 2020 by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)--of which the UK is a member--the technology is likely to be available in cars entering the UK market from Spring 2021. The government is acting now to ensure that regulation is ready where necessary for its introduction." https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/hands-free-driving-could-be-made-legal-on-uk-roads-by-spring-2021 CHINESE EV MAKER NIO LAUNCHES BATTERY LEASING SERVICE "Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio Inc has launched a battery leasing service that will allow drivers to buy an EV without owning the battery pack - one of the most expensive EV components - thereby lowering the starting price of its cars." reports Reuters: "The service, called “battery as a service” (BaaS), entails drivers paying a monthly rental fee for use of the batteries. The cheapest Nio car after subsidies is now an ES6 sport-utility vehicle (SUV) priced 273,600 yuan ($39,553) without ownership of the battery pack, versus 343,600 yuan including the pack. Nio operates 143 battery-swapping stations around China, where drivers can swap spent battery packs for fully charged replacements. Nio’s battery packs are the same shape and size across its lineup, which is comprised of three SUVs. EV models from peer BAIC BluePark New Energy Technology Co Ltd also have standardised batteries." https://in.reuters.com/article/nio-battery-electric/chinese-ev-maker-nio-launches-battery-leasing-service-eyes-global-market-idINKBN25G0V4?il=0 ELECTRIC I-PACE SUV GETS A CHEAPER MODEL... FOR GERMANY Jaguar is working on a new entry-level I-PACE but it could be a Europe-only affair. It looks to be a limited-edition model, which is strange considering it makes less power and costs less than the full-fat model, called the ‘EV320 SE’. That numbers refers to the metric horsepower, which translates to 238kW. " according to stuff.co.nz: "Jag reckons the SUV will hit 100kmh in 6.4 seconds, compared to 4.8 for the existing EV400. Velocity tops out 180kmh versus 200kmh but range is an identical 480km. Being a special edition, the EV320 gets optional extras thrown on as standard. That includes 20-inch wheels, an electrically-opening boot, electric heated mirrors, LED headlights, 14-way adjustable leather sports seats, driving assists and a pair of touchscreens on the centre console. The UK isn’t getting this model, with currently confirmed countries including Germany and Norway." https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/122514625/electric-ipace-suv-gets-a-cheaper-model-for-germany BRITISH ARMY TRIALS HYBRID-POWERED MILITARY VEHICLES "Hybrid technology is being tested by the British Army in two of its armoured vehicles as a way to improve sustainability and enhance stealth capabilities." says the Daily Mail: "The innovative hybrid electric-drive system will be developed by Coventry-based NP Aerospace along with General Dynamics UK, Supacat and Magtec. Alongside delivering multiple technical and operational enhancements, the introduction of hybrid technology will ultimately reduce the Army's reliance on fossil fuels" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8646565/British-Army-trials-hybrid-powered-military-vehicles-improve-stealth.html UK SAFARI RE-OPENS USING ELECTRIC VEHICLES "" Hyundai is helping leading family Theme Park and Zoo, Chessington World of Adventures Resort get going again by providing electric cars for the resort's a brand-new Safari Adventure VIP Experience." says Motor1: "In a first for a UK attraction, guests will be driven by a park ranger in a fleet of fully-electric Kona crossovers, travelling among zebras, giraffes and more in the resort's African animal Wanyama Reserve." https://uk.motor1.com/news/439716/uk-safari-re-opens-using-electric-vehicles/ LYFT JOINS EV100 "Lyft, the ride-sharing company from the US, has joined EV100 by announcing its commitment to reaching 100% electric vehicles on its platform by 2030." says Smart Transport website: "The company is estimating that making the switch will save drivers on its platform around $10 billion in reduced vehicle operating expenses. EV100 is an initiative by international non-profit The Climate Group, bringing together over 70 companies committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and making electric transport the new normal by 2030. Other members include Lime, AstraZeneca, and Ingka Group (IKEA)." https://www.smarttransport.org.uk/news/latest-news/lyft-joins-ev100-and-commits-to-full-ev-switch-by-2030 RENAULT INTRODUCES ZOE IN SOUTH KOREA "Renault, through its Renault Samsung Motors subsidiary (owned in 80.1% by Renault and 19.9% by Samsung), is introducing in South Korea its flagship electric car Renault ZOE." reports InsideEVs: "After deducting generous subsidies of about 11.9 million won ($10,075), the effective prices are from 28.1 to 32.1 million won ($23,900 to $27,300). We can guess that Renault targets to sell at least a few thousand ZOE per year in the country, which might become the largest export market for ZOE outside Europe." https://insideevs.com/news/439808/renault-zoe-south-korea/ ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES TRIPLE IN AUSTRALIA "Sales of electric vehicles in Australia tripled in 2019 despite a lack of government support, according to the industry’s peak body. The country’s network of electric vehicle charging stations was also growing, the Electric Vehicle Council’s annual report found, including a rise in the number of faster charging stations" writes The Guardian: " There are now 28 electric models on sale, with eight priced below $65,000. Six more were due to arrive before the end of 2021, including two priced below $50,000, the council’s report said. The Morrison government promised a national electric vehicle strategy would be finalised by the middle of this year, but the policy has been delayed. The prime minister, Scott Morrison, last year accused Labor of wanting to “end the weekend” and force people out of four-wheel drives." Mein Urlaub mit dem ID.3 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mein-urlaub-mit-dem-id3-herbert-diess/?trackingId=%2Fp6xj%2FhYvRFRWxMENi8%2FbA%3D%3D Herbert Diess, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Group. Blogging his Summer holiday in an ID.3 From Google Translate: "We had a great time with the ID.3 on the way to Italy and there. Vacation trips with modern electric cars are already working really well today. The cars offer so much comfort and drive so confidently that the vacation can begin with great serenity even with the vacation trip. The charging infrastructure between Munich and Lake Garda was also well developed, only the charging stations will have to be displayed more precisely on our navigation systems in the future - there is currently a discrepancy of around 200 meters with some. Many people saw the vehicle live for the first time during my trip. I was really pleased with the reactions. The curious and interested looks show: The ID.3 is cool! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mein-urlaub-mit-dem-id3-herbert-diess/?trackingId=%2Fp6xj%2FhYvRFRWxMENi8%2FbA%3D%3D You can listen to all 872 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. MERCEDES-BENZ LAUNCHES ITS ELECTRIC EQV MINIVAN FOR ~$64,000 "Mercedes-Benz is launching its electric EQV minivan in Europe for €71,388.10 (incl. 19% VAT), which is the equivalent of a sticker price of about ~$64,000 USD." says Electrek: "The electric EQV MPV was first unveiled last year when we learned that it is equipped with a 100 kWh battery pack, but the company is limiting the usable capacity to 90 kWh. They believe it’s going to result in 405 km (250 miles) of range on a single charge. To charge the battery pack, the EQV is equipped with an 11 kW on-board charger and it can DC fast-charge at up to 110 kW, which Mercedes claims can charge the battery pack from 10 to 80% in less than 45 min. The electric van will be available as part of its V-Class lineup in Europe, but no availability has been confirmed for the North American market." https://electrek.co/2020/05/26/mercedes-benz-eqv-electric-minivan-price/ CarBuzz said: "Like the EQC SUV, the EQV features a similar sealed-off grille design. Riding on 18-inch wheels, it’s certainly one of the smarter vans around. Although still unconfirmed for the local market, the EQV will be offered elsewhere with two wheelbase lengths, the longer one stretching to 135 inches. It can seat up to eight passengers and accommodate 36.4 cubic feet of their luggage. Pretty nifty for a zero-emissions vehicle." https://carbuzz.com/cars/mercedes-benz/eqv And Green Car Reports says: "A new feature offers a particularly efficient and comfortable driving style: recuperation level DAUTO. According to the maxim “drive ahead and save energy” information from the security assistants, the navigation system and the camera get connected and adjust the strength of the recuperation situation—specifically and in real time. In addition, four driving programs help the customer to choose individually between the maximum of comfort and the maximum of range while driving." https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/05/20200526-eqv.html KIA IS CONSIDERING AN ULTRA-SMALL ELECTRIC CAR "Kia is examining plans to build a purely electric miniature car in the style of the Citroën Ami. Although the South Korean company has not revealed a timetable for these plans, it seems that Kia is already considering a new distribution model for the electric microcar." says Carrie from Electrive: "In a candid interview with AutoExpress Emilio Herrera, COO of Kia in Europe confirmed the company’s considerations. The mini electric car for urban areas – if it is realized – will be offered for rent globally via a subscription model. “The idea is to have a dedicated platform from Kia that we could possibly share with Hyundai,” Herrera said. The Kia manager did not name a timetable for a possible market launch of the small electric car. AutoExpress is expecting a corresponding production model in 2022. Citroën introduced the Ami at the end of February. The small two-seater in a strongly stylised design is to be available at prices starting at 6,000 euros or a monthly leasing rate of 19.99 euros (four years, 10,000 kilometres per year) in France. Pricing models for other European markets have not yet been revealed. Since Herrera spoke of a “dedicated platform” for the very small electric car, it does not seem likely to be the skateboard platform from Canoo. " https://www.electrive.com/2020/05/26/kia-is-considering-an-ultra-small-electric-car/ RUMOR: IN APRIL TESLA RECEIVED ABOUT 15,000 ORDERS FOR MIC MODEL 3 LR "According to the Chinese media (via Moneyball), Tesla has received in April close to 15,000 orders for the new Long Range Made-in-China (MIC) Model 3. It's an unofficial number." reports InsideEVs: "t's great news that the demand for the upcoming LR (rear-wheel drive) is high because Tesla intends to produce in China some 4,000 Model 3 per week as early as in June. The last month was weaker than expected, as Model 3 registrations amounted to 4,312, up to 3-4 times less than anticipated production output (at 3,000 per week). It's explained that consumers were delaying orders of the Standard Range Model 3 to get a more attractive price (after changes in subsidies). Only time will tell whether sales in China will really stabilize at 4,000 per week (or 12,000 per month) for all versions (SR and LR)." https://insideevs.com/news/425337/tesla-15000-orders-model-3-lr/ AUDI E-TRON IS THE NEW KING OF NORWAY "Norway remains one of the most fascinating auto markets in the world. With a 70% plug-in vehicle market share in the first 4 months of 2020, there is nothing that comes close to it. That isn’t an overnight figure either — the country has been far ahead of any other market in terms of plug-in vehicle market share for several years."That said, the market leader is now a vehicle that would typically be outside the price range of a working class family in other countries, but Norway is a rich country (very rich country) with adventurous terrain, so it makes a bit of sense. The Audi e-tron isn’t just first — it’s far ahead in the #1 spot so far this year." says CleanTechnica: "A German model that was in the #1 spot for many, many months, the Volkswagen e-Golf, is solidly in second at 6% market share. After that, you’ve got the Nissan LEAF, Hyundai Kona EV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Tesla Model 3, Renault Zoe, BMW i3, and then a long tail of remaining PEVs. You also have a handful of plug-less vehicles scattered into the overall sales rankings (see charts below)." https://cleantechnica.com/2020/05/25/audi-e-tron-is-the-new-king-of-norway/ MACRON DEMANDS CARMAKERS TURN TO ‘MADE IN FRANCE’ FOR €8BN VIRUS AID "French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled on Tuesday (26 May) an €8 billion aid package for the auto industry, which includes increased subsidies for electric car purchases" says Euractiv.com: "Negotiations with the likes of Citroën, Peugeot and Renault have been ongoing for weeks and the €8 billion support package does not come without strings, as Macron has made it clear they are expected to do more domestically. It was not immediately unclear if the support plan has specific conditions in terms of moving production back to France, although Renault will reportedly build electric motors at a plant in Normandy rather than in Asia, as previously planned, in order to access state aid. Renault will also lend its weight to the Battery Alliance, a pan-European industrial push to boost battery production and increase supply in check with growing demand for electric vehicles. Macron’s €8bn scheme is also aimed at consumers, who will be able to benefit from new and improved subsidy schemes worth around €1bn. For electric cars, the current premium of €6,000 for private citizens will increase to €7,000, while plug-in hybrids will be worth €2,000." https://www.euractiv.com/section/electric-cars/news/macron-demands-carmakers-turn-to-made-in-france-for-e8bn-virus-aid/ RECORD €60BN INVESTMENT IN ELECTRIC CARS AND BATTERIES IN EUROPE SECURED LAST YEAR Europe secured €60 billion in investments to produce electric vehicles and batteries last year – 19 times more than in 2018, new analysis shows. Driven by EU car CO2 targets, industry and governments committed 3.5 times more into EV and battery production in Europe than they did in China, according to T&E’s report. Germany got the biggest chunk, €40 billion, coming mainly from the Volkswagen Group, and Tesla which announced a plant in Berlin. The Czech Republic received €6.6 billion, also thanks to VW, which plans to produce 75 all-electric models worldwide by 2029. Italy secured €1.75 billion in EV investments last year from Fiat, while France, Sweden and the UK each got around €1 billion from car manufacturers. Spain received close to €300 million from Opel, and Croatia got €80 million from Hyundai and Kia. BYD BLADE PRISMATIC BATTERY CELL SPECS AND POSSIBILITIES "Simpler battery packs made with fewer and larger battery cells weren’t possible with compromised platforms like MQB, however in skateboard platforms like MEB – specially made for electric cars -, they are not only possible, they are what makes sense. Only in late 2016, high energy density battery cells started to be available in pouch format, like the LGX E63 made by LG Chem." says PushEVs: "In 2020, assembling big battery packs with tiny cells doesn’t make sense and I wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla announces a battery pack made with cobalt-free prismatic battery cells in “battery day”. This would be great, not only for Tesla, but also for electric bicycle manufacturers who would benefit from an immediate increase of cylindrical cells available on the market. BYD Blade Battery is a module-less CTP (cell-to-pack) battery pack. Without modules, the long prismatic battery cells connected in series are put in an array and then inserted into a battery pack, making it as simple as possible. The simplicity of the CTP technology helps to achieve a good energy density at the battery pack level, even if the energy density of the cells isn’t amazing." https://pushevs.com/2020/05/26/byd-blade-prismatic-battery-cell-specs-possibilities/ RENAULT CAPTUR PLUG-IN HYBRID SPEC REVEALED Renault UK has confirmed full specifications of new E-TECH version of the two all-new Renault Captur Plug-in Hybrid. The All-New Captur Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) benefits from a new petrol-electric powertrain, making it the most efficient and economical in the range as well as the most powerful. The Captur Plug-in Hybrid uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine alongside a 9.8kWh battery driving two electric motors, enabling an all-electric driving range of 30 miles (WLTP) and total power output of 160hp. To help owners make the most of their All-New Captur Plug-in Hybrid, a free 7kW wallbox home charger, supplied and fitted by BP Chargemaster is included as standard for retail customers. Scheduled heating, ventilation and charging times can be controlled via the standard 9.3-inch Easy Link portrait touchscreen or via the new MY Renault APP.

Show #754 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 20th April 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. T&E FINDS BEV ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN ICES "In Europe, an electric car is responsible for almost three times less CO2 over its life cycle than a comparable petrol or diesel car, Transport & Environment has determined and published a corresponding calculation tool." reports electrive: "Even in the worst case scenario, an electric car in Poland with a battery made in China emits 22 per cent less CO2 than a comparable diesel car and 28 per cent less than a gasoline car, according to T&E. The best case, according to T&E, would be an electric car with a battery made in Sweden, if the electric car was also driven in Sweden (i.e. charged with the electricity mix there). In this case, 80 per cent less CO2 was emitted compared to diesel and 81 per cent less compared to petrol. The CO2 emissions of the e-vehicles include the emissions from production. According to Transport & Environment, they used IPCC data for this purpose. Here, the emissions from the entire supply chain are to be included, right up to the operation of the mines – i.e. far beyond pure cell production." https://www.electrive.com/2020/04/20/te-finds-bev-environmental-footprint-significantly-lower-than-ices/ TESLA MODEL S PERFORMANCE NOW HITS 60 MPH IN JUST 2.3 SECONDS "Tesla says the Model S Performance hits 60 MPH in a time of just 2.3 seconds. That's just a slight improvement over the previously listed time of 2.4 seconds, but it brings with it new bragging rights for Tesla since the official figure now puts the Model S into a league of cars that numbers just a few." says InsideEVs: "If Tesla manages to find a way to bring the 0-60 MPH time down just another tenth of a second, the Model S Performance will stand alone as the only car in the world capable of hitting 60 MPH in 2.2 seconds and to think that some believe electric cars are slow. They're not." https://insideevs.com/news/410853/tesla-model-s-0-60-upgrade/ TESLA CYBERTRUCK WILL HAVE 500-MILE RANGE AND “FLOAT FOR A WHILE” "Elon Musk has been leaking further details on the divisive Tesla Cybertruck, a sci-fi-inspired all-electric pick-up, via Twitter this week." reports leasing.com: "Musk confirmed the vehicle will have a heat pump, like the upcoming Model Y, an all-new air suspension and also claimed it will be able to temporarily float. That’s right, when he was asked about its wading depth, he said it will even “float for a while”. Quite what that means, I'm sure we’ll find out in due course." https://leasing.com/car-leasing-news/tesla-cybertruck/ VOLVO CARS REOPENS SWEDISH FACTORIES & OFFICES "After all of its facilities have been cleaned extensively, Volvo Cars has announced that it has reopened its manufacturing plants and company offices in Torslanda, Sweden, following a coronavirus-related shutdown over the last few weeks." writes CleanTechnica: "“the layout in all meeting rooms, office spaces and restaurants has been adjusted where necessary to allow for social distancing,” the press release from Volvo reads. “For example, by ensuring that desks are placed appropriately and limiting the number of people allowed in meeting rooms and restaurants.”" https://cleantechnica.com/2020/04/20/volvo-cars-reopens-swedish-factories-offices/ TESLA POWERWALL UPDATE MAKES IT SMARTER DURING A POWER OUTAGE "Tesla's Powerwall backup battery system for home use just got smarter. In an update released Friday, the Powerwall can now work with Tesla charging stations at home to prioritize energy needs during a power outage." says CNET: "Before the update, in the event of a blackout, the Powerwall kicked in to supply power to the home and continue to serve juice to a Tesla charger if the car was plugged in. Now, the Powerwall will communicate with the Tesla charger and the two will work together to share energy. If the Powerwall doesn't have enough energy stored to power the home's essential needs, such as air conditioning, it will automatically stop charging the car. Even if the home begins to show an uptick in energy needs, the Powerwall will slow the amount of juice headed to a Tesla before cutting it off entirely." 13.5 kWh in a Powerwall. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-powerwall-update-ev-charging-power-outage/ NEW VW TIGUAN INCOMING WITH R AND PHEV VERSIONS "VW is gearing up to reveal a heavily-updated Tiguan SUV in the second half of 2020, with this first teaser image showing the refreshed design." says CAR Magazine: "VW says the Tiguan is now it's best-selling car, not just for the brand but the entire VW Group. More than 900,000 were built in 2019 alone. A new PHEV will arrive alongside the Tiguan’s facelift as part of that rollout, utilising the MQB platform’s innate ability to house an electrified variant. The Tiguan plug-in will use a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine and a 13kWh battery pack, with VW targeting between 31 and 43 miles of zero-emission electric range. While speaking at a digital presentation over VW’s PHEV plans, Dr. Kai Philipp – the brand’s project manager for electrified powertrains – told us that that target applied to all of VW’s upcoming new PHEVs: ‘surveys with Volkswagen customers have shown that a total electric range from 50 to 70 km (31-43 miles) fits the need of our customers.’" VW will call the Golf PHEV an eHybrid and there's an Arteon too. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/volkswagen/tiguan/ CAN THE MINI COOPER SE ROAD TRIP? WE DRIVE IT 1,111 MILES TO FIND OUT "Some may say that taking the 2020 MINI Cooper SE, the shortest-range BEV available in the US today, on a New Jersey to North Carolina round trip isn't really the best idea. However, we decided to do it for a couple of reasons." writes Tom Moloughney for InsideEVs: "I was pleasantly surprised at the MINI Cooper SE's driving range at highway speeds. About 50 miles in I realized that I could probably space the stops at 90 to 100 miles apart without fear of running short of range, and that's with the heat on and me driving 70 mph to 80 mph in 35 to 40-degree temperatures when I started out. The vehicle quickly rises to the 50 kW charging limit and holds the full rate until the car is 75% charged before beginning to ramp down. When the car reaches 90% state of charge, it's still accepting 18-19 kW, and that's not bad at all." 50kW charge speed though. Tom also got to see inside en Electrify America charger, see the article! https://insideevs.com/reviews/410446/video-mini-cooper-se-1111-mile-trip/ THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE PREFER TO BUY ELECTRIC CARS "High-income households bought three out of four newly registered electric cars in Norway last year. Those who earn the most prefer electric cars over fossil fuel cars." reports Norway Today: "The more you earn, the more likely you are to choose an electric car rather than fossil-fueled cars. Households with the highest income last year bought 37 per cent of all newly registered electric cars and 21 per cent of all newly registered fossil-fueled cars." https://norwaytoday.info/finance/the-wealthiest-people-prefer-to-buy-electric-cars/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK Do you prefer to buy new or used EV?

Welcome to new Patreon EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ANDREA JEFFERSON Audi Q5 TFSI "Audi of America is introducing its first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant of its bestselling SUV, the Audi Q5. The Audi Q5 TFSI e (earlier post) will be joined by the A8 TFSI e and the Audi A7 TFSI e in the coming months." says Green Car Congress: "The Audi Q5 TFSI e is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder TFSI engine coupled with an electric motor that sits between the engine and 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission. The lithium-ion battery pack, located under the luggage compartment floor, is made up of 104 prismatic cells and stores 14.1 kWh of energy with a voltage of 381 volts. The climate control system uses a highly efficient heat pump that pools the waste heat from the high-voltage components. The Audi Q5 TFSI e has a range of 20 miles. This mode can be selected for driving scenarios when an engine might not be needed." https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/01/20200117-q5e.html Q7 e-tron 3.0 V6 TDI Diesel, but it's quick and smooth.

It’s also confirmed it’ll introduce RS-badged plug-in hybrid vehicles and Autocar reports one of these is expected to be the next-generation RS4, not due until after 2022." BMW "Leaked order guides have revealed the starting price of the new BMW X3 xDrive30e, which will launch in the United States in Q1 2020." says CarScoops: "the plug-in hybrid version of the premium compact SUV will start at $49,545, including destination. Its main rivals, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e and Volvo XC60 T8, can be had from $51,645 and $54,945, respectively. The arrival of the X3 xDrive30e will bump the number of available models to four, excluding the top X3 M. The lineup kicks off with the X3 sDrive30i, followed by the X3 xDrive30i, which have MSRPs of $41,950 and $43,950, respectively, while the 382 horsepower X3 M40i will set you back $55,900. The plug-in hybrid X3 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 181 hp and a 107 hp electric motor that’s integrated into the 8-speed automatic transmission. With the battery fully charged, the X3 xDrive30e has an all-electric range of almost 20 miles (32 km)." https://www.carscoops.com/2020/01/2020-bmw-x3-xdrive30e-phev-will-undercut-the-competition-by-several-thousand-dollars/ In the UK: "BMW has expanded its already extensive plug-in hybrid line-up with the addition of the X1 xDrive 25e - soon to be followed by an X2 model with the badge." according to Next Green Car: " the X1 will offer a range of up to 35 miles on a single charge. X2 specifications are yet to be confirmed, with its launch due in the summer, but expect very similar figures to the X1. BMW’s drive systems are carried over from other PHEV models, which include Auto eDrive, Max eDrive, and Save Battery. Charging the 10 kWh battery will take a little over three hours on a standard 3 kW home or public charge point. Both the X1 and X2 models will join PHEV options already available in the shape of the 2 Series Active Tourer, 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X3, X5, and i8 ranges, plus BMW’s group stable-mate Mini with the Countryman Cooper S E, as well as the all-electric i3." https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8827/bmw-launches-x1-phev-with-x2-soon-to-follow/ CITROEN "Citroën announced the debut of its first plug-in model, the Citroën C5 Aircross SUV Hybrid at the Brussels Motor Show (January 10-19), which starts electrification of the brand" reports InsideEVs: "The C5 Aircross SUV plug-in hybrid version, already available to order, is Citroën’s first plug-in hybrid model of the Core Model Strategy, which by 2025 will lead to 100% of the range having an electrified version, with a new electrified offer every year." https://insideevs.com/news/391491/citroen-c5-aircross-suv-hybrid/ HYUNDAI "Hyundai and Kia are intensifying their electrification efforts by planning to have 13 hybrids, six plug-in hybrids, 23 EVs and two fuel cell vehicles on sale by the middle of the decade. 2020 will be the year when the most important SUVs from the two brands will be electrified as Hyundai will introduce hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Santa Fe and the next-generation Tucson.

The car will have a battery of at least 13kWh. that battery will give it the ability to go for about 30 miles on electricity alone" https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda/octavia/108748/new-2020-skoda-octavia-vrs-ready-for-hybrid-power VW Golf GTE - 31 miles range but not currently availble to order in some countries. PAssat GTE - again unavailable due to high demand. Other honourable mentions: Volvo XC90 T8 four-cylinder petrols. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid V6 petrol. Mitsubishi Outlander for 30 miles of range. Hyundai IONIQ PHEV starts at £26,000 but 39 miles of range. Mercedes-Benz C-Class C350 E Saloon and Estate have a 6.2kWh pack. TONY BULLOCK I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have and provide some perspective as an owner of a Niro PHEV since August 2018 - one who fully intends to get a BEV as his next car. So far I've done just over 9,400 miles and the vast majority of that has been on battery. Why I chose the PHEV: I had a 63-plate Toyota diesel that I hated driving for environmental reasons. We needed something bigger for the family to take luggage, guitars, friends etc. around. There wasn't anything in my price range that was suitable. The eNiro would have fitted the bill for practical reasons, but it's still pricey. Toyota salesman tried to sell me a hybrid. One Kia salesman tried to sell me a Sportage diesel to clear stock. The same dealer subsequently let me drive their eNiro which he absolutely raved about! :-) I picked up the PHEV from the Midlands and drove it back to Kent. It only took about a week to get it but it was the very last in the UK, otherwise it was a three month wait. If a suitable BEV for my family's lifestyle had been available and affordable in July 2018 then I'd have definitely got one. I certainly don't regret getting the PHEV, but I wish I could have got the BEV.

Quais são os principais motivos e o que esperar de montadoras que estão fechando as fábricas, como fez a Ford em São Bernardo do Campo? E o que esperar de caminhões e carros que entram e saem de linha? É hora de saber isso tudo com o AutoVideos neste papo com o Liam Mattera e o Conrado Navarro. No momento, está ocorrendo a polêmica envolvendo o fechamento da fábrica da Ford em São Bernardo do Campo. Também temos o acordo na fábrica de São José dos Campos da GM, com o sindicato cedendo para que possa ocorrer a fabricação da nova geração da picape S10 (nessa fábrica com grande capacidade ociosa). Adicionalmente, houve a afirmação do sindicato de Taubaté a respeito do fim da produção do Gol, Voyage e Up! em 2021. No dia 19/02 a Ford anunciou o encerramento da operação de montagem no segmento de caminhões na fábrica de São Bernardo do Campo, no ABC Paulista. No momento, é o adeus aos caminhões Ford e também o Ford Fiesta sairá de linha. A empresa mantém a fábrica de veículos em Camaçari, na Bahia. Na fábrica da GM, em São José dos Campos, após a polêmica do plano de demissão voluntária, a montadora aumentou a produção na planta de São Caetano enquanto o Sindicato em São José cobra aporte bilionário prometido em 2013 e a fabrica mantém produção da S10 e Trailblazer. Em Taubaté, o Sindicato revelou que a Volkswagen tem planos de produzir um novo SUV (Volkswagen T-Track) na cidade enquanto as atuais gerações de Gol, Voyage e Up! serão produzidos somente até 2021. A fábrica receberá investimentos e passará a produzir veículos baseados na plataforma MQB, plataforma modular na qual estará o novo Gol.

29 May 2018 | EVs Now Price Competitive, Hypermile Attempt Has A Sad Twist and BMW Wireless Charging Available Today

Play Episode Listen Later May 28, 2018 10:45

Tuesday 29th May 2018 and this is your EV News Daily. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening! Wherever you're listening around the world, a very warm welcome from London, UK. Here is today’s news about electric cars and the future of transport. My name is Martyn Lee and I go through every EV article online so you don’t have to. We'll start with a follow up to yesterday's story about the hypermile'd Model 3, the attempt by Sean Mitchell and his hypermiling partner Erik Strait. After covering 606.2miles, using 66kWh at 110Wh/mile they were able to relax and once again dream of driving a car over 30mph. However there's a sting in the tail of this story. After trying to charge the Model 3 overnight at a Supercharger, it was refusing to take any charge. The last I heard it was being towed to a Service Centre where I imagine Model 3 experts will be waiting for it. As much as Tesla love the good publicity they'll be keen to understand what's happened here. It seems like pulling 66kWh hours isn't much from a 74/75 kWh pack. Also, the car was hired from Turo. EVS NOW COMPETITIVE, SAYS LEASEPLAN'S CAR COST INDEX Cost comparison for EVs with ICE cars has been a moving target, some say 2020 and some say 2025. But everyone agrees sales of EVs will take off once they are cost competitive. However maybe that day is...today! "In several European countries, electric vehicles (EVs) are now cost competitive with traditional powertrains. The TCO gap is rapidly narrowing in Belgium and the UK, while EVs are already cheaper in Norway and the Netherlands. That is the conclusion of LeasePlan's most recent Car Cost Index (CCI)." says Frank Jacobs for FleetEurope: "The CCI is a comprehensive, annual analysis of the Total Cost of Ownership for a small to medium-sized car (B & C segment) in 21 countries" which includes taxes, insurance, fuel, maintenance and the all-important depreciation. "TCO of EVs also varies greatly, from a low of €597 in Hungary to a high of €986 in Italy. Norway is the only country where TCO for an EV (€670) is lower than for a petrol (€731) or diesel (€722) car." TESLA SEMI SPIED BETWEEN FREMONT AND PALO ALTO Time for another sighting of the Tesla Semi which is putting in some miles, not only for testing, but also doing some work as well according to the rumours. During a talk in the Netherlands, Tesla VP of Truck programs Jerome Guillen said: "Tesla will be the first customer for its own truck. So we will use our own trucks to carry cargo in the US between our different facilities. We have (an) assembly factory in California, we have a battery factory in Nevada, so we’ll use our truck to carry things in between" Teslarati say "The latest image of the Tesla Semi was shared by Model 3 owner and r/TeslaMotors subreddit member u/AMG76, who stated that the picture was taken just this past weekend." DIESEL IS ‘FINISHED’ IN EUROPE AMID PUSH FOR ELECTRIC CARS EV's could be getting an easier ride in Europe partly because sales of diesels are in freefall and people are looking for alternatives. "European commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska said the EU has had a “breakthrough moment” since Germany-based Volkswagen AG admitted in 2015 that it fitted diesel engines with software to cheat U.S. checks on smog-causing discharges of nitrogen oxides. This deeply affected “the emotions in society toward emissions and cleaner cars,” she said.“Diesel cars are finished,” Bienkowska said in a May 24 interview in her ninth-floor Brussels office. “I think in several years they will completely disappear. This is the technology of the past.” VOLKSWAGEN OPENING THREE NEW FACTORIES IN CHINA FOR EV BOOM "Volkswagen AG is opening three new factories in China with its local partner FAW Group" according to Bloomberg: "Two of the new facilities will be in Tianjin and Foshan, VW said in an emailed statement, adding it opened one in Qingdao on Monday. The plants will focus on bringing more sport-utility and electric vehicles for local production, the fastest growing segments of China’s auto market." "The Qingdao factory opened with the introduction of the new Bora on the MQB platform and will produce battery systems" BMW WIRELESS CHARGING AVAILABLE STARTING TODAY "Today marks the market launch of BMW’s highly anticipated wireless charging solution for iPerformance cars. BMW has been talking about it for over a year, in anticipation of the launch of their new BMW 530e iPerformance model, the first production car available with wireless charging." says Nico at BMW BLog: "The system is now available for orders and allows customers to recharge their 530e – and future PHEV models – by simply parking the car over a so-called base pad. The BMW Wireless Charging option can be ordered now as a leasing-option for the BMW 530e iPerformance. The product offer starts with Germany, subsequently followed by the UK, the US, Japan and China." ELON MUSK JUST REVEALED NEW TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE EDITION DETAILS "In response to Tesla aficionado Ryan McCaffrey, Musk confirmed on Twitter that the car will come with sport-level brakes, coupled with red calipers" according to Inverse "New brakes aren’t the only cosmetic changes coming to the car. It will be the first variant to offer a white interior alongside the standard black, as well as a carbon fiber spoiler and 20-inch performance wheels instead of the “Aero” wheels offered on the base models." SK INNOVATION BEGINS CONSTRUCTION OF 7.5 GWH BATTERY PLANT IN HUNGARY And finally, InsideEVs reports: "SK Innovation held a groundbreaking ceremony for its first European lithium-ion battery factory in Hungary." How long does it take to build a battery factory? Well even though the build starts now, it won't produce cells until early in 2020. "The batteries to be produced in SK Battery Hungary will be third-generation EV batteries, which give an EV 500km range with one charge. The company had announced in September, 2017 that it would start mass-producing of the world’s first medium-to-large NCM (nickel:cobalt:manganese) pouches. SK Battery Hungary expects to start mass-producing and supplying the batteries from early 2020. Once all the production lines are installed, the factory’s production capacity will reach 7.5 GWh per year."

Musk $182bn Payday, VW e-Golf Sells Out and BMW Confirms Electric Lineup | 22 Mar 2018

Thursday 22nd March 2018. MUSK PAYDAY NEWS! His payday has been approved for a nominal value of $2.6bn, however that could be as much as $55bn worth of shares if he hits all the targets of Tesla being worth a mind-blowing $650bn. Including his current holding and presuming he doesn’t sell any shares, Elon Musk would then own 28% of Tesla, worth $182bn. As of 2017 the World’s richest person is Amazon’s Jezz Bezos at $112bn. VW EGOLF OFF THE MENU We’ll start with some good news about e-Golf sales, but if you’re listening in North America wanted to drive a new VW eGolf you better be quick. According to insight from InsideEVs, sales have been so strong here in Europe, they are almost out of stock. After all it was the best selling BEV in Western Europe according to InsideEVs sales scorecard. VW chairman Herbert Diess said: ““Our electric vehicle sales were three times more popular in 2017 than 2016 and the e-Golf nearly sold out, so it’s clear customers are willing to switch to EVs once the price is right.” NEXT STEPS FOR BMW Fresh news from just a few hours ago, at BMW’s Annual Accounts Press Conference they confirmed their next electric car will be the iX3. Then we’ll get the i4, previously known as the i Vision Dynamics. The only look we’ve had at it is in pure, utterly bonkers concept car form, but if the production EV was anywhere near it, it’s going to look great. From one pure battery electric vehicle (BEV) now in the guise of the i3, the i4 will be one of 12 battery-electric models BMW aims to have in showrooms by 2025. BMW CEO Harald Krueger said the i4 will be produced at the BMW's factory in Munich where it builds 3- and 4-series models. There’s also the electric MINI going into production in 2019, made here in the UK in Oxford as well as Mexico, before the electric version of the X3, the iX3, to be unveiled this year and available in 2020. In 2021 comes the iNEXT as their innovation flagbearer. But he wouldn’t say where in that timeline the i4 sits. BMW do expect, within 3 years, pure electric ranges will be 435 miles as the norm and 62miles normal for PHEVs. Autonews say BMW has secured naming rights for the badges i1 to i9 and iX1 to iX9. VW FACTORY INVESTMENT IN USA According to Fortune VW will be investing $340million in their Chattanooga factory to build a 5-seater SUV. At the New York International Auto Show on 30th March we’ll see their new SUV concept based on the MQB platform, which of course is designed for hybrid and PHEV options. The Chattanooga factory has been viewed as the likely location for VW’s plan to produce electric vehicles. POD POINT BREAK RECORDS In the UK, charging provider Pod Point has installed 67 charge points for Skanska, and it looks like it breaks the record for the largest in the country. And one of the largest in Europe too. It took them 2 weeks to install the 7kW chargers but, the key detail, they also included the infrastructure to add another 243 more. That would be 310 charge points in one location for Skanska employees to charge their cars whilst they work. Erik Fairbairn, chief executive of Pod Point, said: “This is the largest single site charge point installation that we’re aware of in the UK, but also a sign of a larger shift over the past six months, as more businesses wake up to the benefits of EVs. We’ve certainly seen a big increase in enquiries from companies wanting future proof charge point installations that can be scaled up as their fleets make the switch to electric.” Utility Week say “Recent research commissioned by Ovo Energy suggests existing EVs in the UK could contribute more than 114MW to the National Grid, enough to power over 300,000 homes. HYUNDAI ELECTRIFIES THE TUCSON “Hyundai will present the facelifted version of the third-gen Tucson next week” according to CarScoops, “on March 28, during a press conference at the New York Auto Show, which will be streamed live. The crossover slots between the Kona and Santa Fe Sport has been spied numerous times in prototype form with heavy camouflage covering its body. Hyundai has also confirmed hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the SUV”. “The 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric will join the other two in New York. The zero emission vehicle comes straight from the Geneva Motor Show, where it was revealed with a 133hp (135PS) electric motor and 39.2kWh battery pack. This version can be driven for up to 186miles (300km), whereas the long-range variant can travel up to 292miles (470km) and uses a 201hp (204PS) electric motor, paired to a 64kWh battery pack. As a final note, you can watch Hyundai’s press conference, which starts on March 28, at 12:45pm EST (5:45pm CET)” on CarScoops.com BMW 3-SERIES SPIED Finally the all new BMW 3-series has been spotted testing in the concept form and in full-on camo gear. This car will be huge for BMW. It simple must be a huge success. They want Audi A4 buyers to choose the 3-series instead, same for Merc C-Class buyers. It’s all new from the ground up. I have no doubt there will be a strong emphasis on plug ins and hybrids in the range. The hybrid tech might be the mildest of mild, just a 48v system to run systems and take the pressure of the ICE, or to do things like spool up the turbo ready for when the engine needs it. Anything which gets the CO2 down under the new WLTP emissions system which all cars must use from September this year. Since the first version of the Ford Fusion Energi in 2013 not much has happened on their electric front. Well, nothing actually apart from announcements. Now they’re updating it for the 2019 model year which includes a Hybrid and Phev. The Fusion Energi, the only plug in Ford sell now the C-Max Energi is no more, gets a very little battery bump. From 7.6kWH to 7.9kWH. It sits in the same space as before but, considering other auto makers like Renault have done the same but with much bigger capacity increases, like the new LEAF or the Zoe ZE40, at least we know the technology exists to do that. It’s an EPA range of 25 electric miles. I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

Der VW-Bus ist Kult, doch mit dem T6 verdient VW nicht genug Geld! Der betagte Solitär ist im Prinzip nur ein facegelifteter T5 und für gewerbliche Nutzer bleibt es nach einem Facelift 2019 wohl bis 2025 dabei. Doch die in die Jahre gekommene Basis entzieht sich der Verblockung mit moderner Technik. Das soll beim Personen-Transporter Multivan zukünftig anders werden. Schon 2019 soll er durch den New Bulli ersetzt werden. Und der taucht tief in die Pkw-Technik ein: Der Wechsel zur Großserienplattform MQB macht den Weg frei für anspruchsvollere Inhalte, schafft mehr Freiheit bei der Modellplanung – und erhöht die Variantenvielfalt.

Alle Infos zum neuen VW T-Roc VW präsentiert mit dem T-Roc ein neues SUV in Golf-Größe. Mit dem T-Roc geht VW neue Wege. Denn auch, wenn man den Neuen gerne "Golf-SUV" nennen würde, ist er nicht einfach nur die höhergelegte Version des Wolfsburger Dauerbrenners. Stattdessen baut VW den kleinen Bruder des Tiguan konsequent als eigene Baureihe auf. Dass der T-Roc verglichen mit den anderen VW-SUVs Tiguan und Touareg, aber auch Konzern-SUVs Seat Ateca und Skoda Karoq, Neuland befährt, zeigt sich zunächst in den Abmessungen: Mit 4,23 Meter Länge ist er deutlich kürzer als ein Tiguan und sogar minimal kürzer als der Golf (4,26 Meter). Seine Form erinnert stärker an einen normalen Kompakten als an ein SUV mit großem Kofferraum. Auch der Radstand hat mit 2,60 Meter Golf-Niveau (2,62 Meter) – kein Wunder, schließlich steckt der MQB unterm Blech. Gepaart mit kurzen Überhängen und rund 1,82 Meter Breite ergibt sich eine bullige und modebewusste Optik, die praktisch keine Ähnlichkeit mehr zum Technikspender Golf erkennen lässt.
