Serious questions about the effectiveness and desirability of South Africa's prevailing scrap export ban have been raised in a new report, which calls for its immediate lifting unless evidence can be produced showing that the ban is having the desired effect of preventing infrastructure-related theft. Published by XA Global Trade Advisors, the report follows hot on the heels of a decision by ArcelorMittal South Africa to wind down its long-products business, partly because its integrated mills are unable to compete with those electric-arc furnaces that have secured a significant raw material advantage as a result of the trade restrictions placed on scrap. XA Global Trade Advisors CEO Donald MacKay argues that the combination of the price preference system, scrap export duties and the prevailing export ban have distorted the domestic steel value chain and have created financial risks that could have major implications for the State-owned Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) if unwound. The report calculates that there are yearly value transfers of R4.5-billion from metals recyclers to the scrap-based mini-mills on the three-million tons of scrap being sold yearly. It also estimates that the IDC has built up a R14-billion exposure to scrap-metal consuming sectors, which has created an incentive to sustain these transfers to companies that have become increasingly reliant on subsidised raw materials as electricity prices rise and infrastructure fails. "The electricity price cannot be lowered and so all the pressure is applied to the scrap recycling sector," the report argues. In response, the IDC told Engineering News that its exposure to steel-related companies stood at about R10-billion and was not confined to scrap-metal consuming firms. "The rationale for the IDC support provided to mini-mills was to increase competition in the primary steel industry, improve economic inclusion, access to markets for small and medium enterprises and black industrialists, and to enhance competition in related products. "The investment case also concerns market segmentation and the ability to comply with the market's requirements," the IDC stated. It added that the mini-mills supplied a complementary range of "fit-for-purpose" commodity products which were mainly driven by competitive factors such as an ability to respond to the market in a short period of time at the right price. "While several of the IDC's investee companies produce the standard commodity-type bar mill range, upgrades have also taken place over the years towards higher quality products and diversification," it added in response to questions. The XA report also highlights a lack of data transparency since the initial ban on the export of ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal was imposed by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (dtic) on November 30, 2022, or following its six-month extension on July 31 this year. MacKay says that, despite Promotion of Access to Information Act requests, no information has been released on the theft of infrastructure since the ban, with even Transnet's cable theft data, which had been published regularly on the State-owned utility's website, having been removed from the public domain. Transparency, MacKay argues, is essential for assessing whether the ban's negative economic impacts are outweighed by the benefits. "The secrecy around scrap metal policy has created fertile ground for lobbying and corrupt decisions," he adds. The dtic told Engineering News it would study the report but did not want to comment so close to the closing date for comments on whether or not to extend the ban. "All comments received by the closing date will be carefully considered by Minister Ebrahim Patel before a decision is taken. "The Minister will consider all inputs and will carefully weigh the impact of the scrap and waste-metal ban on the steel value-chain against the substantial damage done to infrastructure and the associated disruptions to bus...
The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) reports that it registered a further 98 generation facilities - with a combined capacity of 908 MW and an investment value of R17.3-billion - during the second quarter of its 2023/24 financial year. These registrations, which took place from July to September, raise to 1 185 the total number of generation facilities registered since 2018. However, the pace of registrations accelerated markedly after a 2021 reform was made to Schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulation Act, lifting the licence-exemption cap from 1 MW to 100 MW. That cap was subsequently removed entirely to accelerate investment as power disruptions intensified. In August, the National Energy Crisis Committee reported that, since the implementation of the regulatory changes, the pipeline of private sector generation projects had increased to over 100 projects representing more than 10 000 MW of capacity. Projects registered with Nersa to date, meanwhile, have a combined capacity of 5 785 MW and an investment value of R111-billion and exclude the thousands of smaller installations that have been implemented by households and businesses in response to loadshedding. Eskom has estimated that some 4 400 MW of behind-the-meter generation was installed between July 2022 and July 2023, mostly in the form of rooftop solar. Nersa reports that 92 of the registrations during the second quarter were for solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities, which make up 71% of the capacity registered. The balance comprises two solar PV projects with battery energy storage systems, two co-generators and two wind projects. Regulator Member responsible for Electricity Regulation Nhlanhla Gumede commended the uptake in registrations, which he indicated had been processed by Nersa within an average of five working days. However, he recommended that future registration applications for generation facilities of variable energy sources be coupled with battery storage. Sixty-eight of the generation facilities registered during the period are connected to the Eskom network and have a total capacity of 785 MW and an associated investment value of R14.8-billion. A total of 30 generation facilities are connected to the municipal distribution network, with a capacity of 27 MW and investment value of R2.5-billion. The three provinces with the highest number of new registered generation facilities in the second quarter were Gauteng (19 projects for 11 MW), Western Cape (17 projects for 119 MW) and KwaZulu-Natal (15 projects for 7 MW). The top three provinces by capacity were the Free State (251 MW across 7 projects), North West (192 MW across 11 projects) and the Western Cape. The 11 projects registered in the North West province during the period carried the highest investment value, at R5.8-billion. The average investment cost for the second quarter of the 2023/24 financial year is R19 000/kW, Nersa states.
Serious questions about the effectiveness and desirability of South Africa's prevailing scrap export ban have been raised in a new report, which calls for its immediate lifting unless evidence can be produced showing that the ban is having the desired effect of preventing infrastructure-related theft. Published by XA Global Trade Advisors, the report follows hot on the heels of a decision by ArcelorMittal South Africa to wind down its long-products business, partly because its integrated mills are unable to compete with those electric-arc furnaces that have secured a significant raw material advantage as a result of the trade restrictions placed on scrap. XA Global Trade Advisors CEO Donald MacKay argues that the combination of the price preference system, scrap export duties and the prevailing export ban have distorted the domestic steel value chain and have created financial risks that could have major implications for the State-owned Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) if unwound. The report calculates that there are yearly value transfers of R4.5-billion from metals recyclers to the scrap-based mini-mills on the three-million tons of scrap being sold yearly. It also estimates that the IDC has built up a R14-billion exposure to scrap-metal consuming sectors, which has created an incentive to sustain these transfers to companies that have become increasingly reliant on subsidised raw materials as electricity prices rise and infrastructure fails. "The electricity price cannot be lowered and so all the pressure is applied to the scrap recycling sector," the report argues. In response, the IDC told Engineering News that its exposure to steel-related companies stood at about R10-billion and was not confined to scrap-metal consuming firms. "The rationale for the IDC support provided to mini-mills was to increase competition in the primary steel industry, improve economic inclusion, access to markets for small and medium enterprises and black industrialists, and to enhance competition in related products. "The investment case also concerns market segmentation and the ability to comply with the market's requirements," the IDC stated. It added that the mini-mills supplied a complementary range of "fit-for-purpose" commodity products which were mainly driven by competitive factors such as an ability to respond to the market in a short period of time at the right price. "While several of the IDC's investee companies produce the standard commodity-type bar mill range, upgrades have also taken place over the years towards higher quality products and diversification," it added in response to questions. The XA report also highlights a lack of data transparency since the initial ban on the export of ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal was imposed by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (dtic) on November 30, 2022, or following its six-month extension on July 31 this year. MacKay says that, despite Promotion of Access to Information Act requests, no information has been released on the theft of infrastructure since the ban, with even Transnet's cable theft data, which had been published regularly on the State-owned utility's website, having been removed from the public domain. Transparency, MacKay argues, is essential for assessing whether the ban's negative economic impacts are outweighed by the benefits. "The secrecy around scrap metal policy has created fertile ground for lobbying and corrupt decisions," he adds. The dtic told Engineering News it would study the report but did not want to comment so close to the closing date for comments on whether or not to extend the ban. "All comments received by the closing date will be carefully considered by Minister Ebrahim Patel before a decision is taken. "The Minister will consider all inputs and will carefully weigh the impact of the scrap and waste-metal ban on the steel value-chain against the substantial damage done to infrastructure and the associated disruptions to bus...
The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) reports that it registered a further 98 generation facilities - with a combined capacity of 908 MW and an investment value of R17.3-billion - during the second quarter of its 2023/24 financial year. These registrations, which took place from July to September, raise to 1 185 the total number of generation facilities registered since 2018. However, the pace of registrations accelerated markedly after a 2021 reform was made to Schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulation Act, lifting the licence-exemption cap from 1 MW to 100 MW. That cap was subsequently removed entirely to accelerate investment as power disruptions intensified. In August, the National Energy Crisis Committee reported that, since the implementation of the regulatory changes, the pipeline of private sector generation projects had increased to over 100 projects representing more than 10 000 MW of capacity. Projects registered with Nersa to date, meanwhile, have a combined capacity of 5 785 MW and an investment value of R111-billion and exclude the thousands of smaller installations that have been implemented by households and businesses in response to loadshedding. Eskom has estimated that some 4 400 MW of behind-the-meter generation was installed between July 2022 and July 2023, mostly in the form of rooftop solar. Nersa reports that 92 of the registrations during the second quarter were for solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities, which make up 71% of the capacity registered. The balance comprises two solar PV projects with battery energy storage systems, two co-generators and two wind projects. Regulator Member responsible for Electricity Regulation Nhlanhla Gumede commended the uptake in registrations, which he indicated had been processed by Nersa within an average of five working days. However, he recommended that future registration applications for generation facilities of variable energy sources be coupled with battery storage. Sixty-eight of the generation facilities registered during the period are connected to the Eskom network and have a total capacity of 785 MW and an associated investment value of R14.8-billion. A total of 30 generation facilities are connected to the municipal distribution network, with a capacity of 27 MW and investment value of R2.5-billion. The three provinces with the highest number of new registered generation facilities in the second quarter were Gauteng (19 projects for 11 MW), Western Cape (17 projects for 119 MW) and KwaZulu-Natal (15 projects for 7 MW). The top three provinces by capacity were the Free State (251 MW across 7 projects), North West (192 MW across 11 projects) and the Western Cape. The 11 projects registered in the North West province during the period carried the highest investment value, at R5.8-billion. The average investment cost for the second quarter of the 2023/24 financial year is R19 000/kW, Nersa states.
The National Assembly will today vote on whether to suspend former Transport Minister Dipuo Peters for her alleged role in state capture at Prasa. This after Parliament's Joint Committee on Ethics and Members Interest found she breached the ethics code and recommended the sanction. United Behind lodged a complaint last year alleging Peters dismissed the Prasa board after it uncovered R14 billion in irregular expenditure and initiated investigations into corruption at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa.

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. South African ilmenite used to manufacture titanium dioxide pigment in KwaZulu-Natal has received a major value boost with the signing of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the long-awaited sulphuric acid titanium dioxide project that has been championed over many years by Nyanza Light Metals CEO Donovan Chimhandamba. The project highlights the huge opportunity for Africa and South Africa to move up the value curve by establishing advanced material production companies that make competitive use of locally mined materials. The $750-million required for the far-reaching titanium dioxide (TiO2) project is no small change and has been awaiting the high-level EPC signing with East China Engineering Science and Technology Company (ECEC), a subsidiary of China National Chemical Engineering Group Company. The signing was essential to give the many finance houses committed to funding the 80 000 t/y project the confidence needed. This solace stems from ECEC having built 31 plants in China over 60 years, as well as the EPC signed being followed by an ongoing operational upkeep agreement. The important backdrop to all this is that South Africa's ilmenite, a heavy mineral sands derivative, sells at around $300/t on export markets, whereas using it to manufacture TiO2 pigment at the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone will enable it to potentially fetch a ten-times-higher $3 000/t. The first thing the R14-billion Nyanza project is seeking to achieve is to move Africa's abundant raw materials up the value curve, Chimhandamba emphasised to Engineering News & Mining Weekly in a Zoom interview earlier this year. The 80 000 t/y of TiO2 pigment is probably around half of Africa's buying capacity and just over 1% in terms of the global market. TiO2 is widely used in the fields of coatings, cosmetics, medicine, electronics and environmental protection. However, at present, there is not a single TiO2 factory in operation all across Africa, China Chemical Industry News journalists Li Dongzhou and Wang Peng have noted in their article sent to Engineering News & Mining Weekly. At last month's third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation held in Beijing, the EPC signing breakthrough was finally achieved. With shared technology and cooperation, Nyanza will produce TiO2 pigment in South Africa, demonstrating how the Belt and Road Initiative is benefiting development in Africa through cooperation with China, Dongzhou and Peng emphasise. Nyanza will be sourcing its ilmenite from within South Africa and Mining Weekly can report manufacturing costs could be lowered further if a way is found to blend in the 45-million tons of stockpiled ilmenite-containing slag at Evraz, the former Highveld Steel and Vanadium, in eMalahleni, Mpumalanga. The blending in could conceivably be brought about with higher-content ilmenite, or synthetic rutile from Richards Bay Minerals. Self-generation of 12 MW of solar power supported by battery storage is planned, augmented by cogenerated electricity from theTiO2 pigment plant itself once it is in operation. Already commissioned is a R200-million product testing and development centre, which is able to provide 700 t/y of TiO2 pigment sample to offtake partners. Offtake agreements for more than 60% of the 80 000 t/y capacity have already been signed and while the main plant is being built, the testing and development will be used to train the 850 employees that will be brought in early for upskilling. Africa Finance Corporation of Nigeria and African Export-Import Bank of Egypt are co-funders of the project's feasibility phase, and a third multilateral international finance institution is going through concluding the agreements. Senior debt is already oversubscribed, equity players have expressed interest, financial close is likely by year-end and construction is expected to begin next year. Arkein Industr...
This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. Higher free cash flow, higher recovered grades, higher production and higher received gold price have been reported by Harmony Gold in its operational update for the three months ended September 30, the first quarter of the JSE-listed gold mining company's 2024 financial year. Group operating free cash flow in the quarter rocketed by 278% to R3 236-million on higher recovered grades at the Mponeng and Moab Khotsong gold mines in South Africa and by a strong quarter at Hidden Valley in Papua New Guinea (PNG). "The first quarter saw a continuation of the strong operating performance across all our operations," Harmony stated in a release to Mining Weekly on Monday, November 13. High-grade South African underground operations contributed 53% towards group operating free cash flow and the PNG mine 22%. The initial quarter of Harmony's new financial year has been sufficiently buoyant to give confidence that annual guidance of 1 380 000 oz to 1 480 000 oz will be produced in the full year. All-in sustaining costs (AISC) below R975 000/kg and underground grade of 5.6 g/t to 5.75g/t are forecast. Highlights for the three months ended September 30 include a 17% increase in total quarterly gold production to 425 130 oz, compared with 363 336 oz the same three months of corresponding period of Harmony's 2023 financial year. AISC for the quarter was $1 404/oz was 7% improved and quarterly gold revenue was 33% higher at R14 781-million on an 18%-higher rand gold price received of R1 127 208/kg. Underpinned by the high-grade Mponeng and Moab Khotsong mines were 18% higher recovered grades to 6.29 g/t from 5.35g/t. owing to entry into the high-grade 'Big Red' part of the orebody. Silver production from Hidden Valley jumped by 55% to 993 914 oz and the average silver price received rose by 35% to $23.59/oz, taking revenue to R433-million. Production of uranium, a by-product of the gold extraction process at Moab Khotsong, leaped by 50% to 154 420 lb and uranium sold by 116% to 205 000 lb. Year-on-year, the average uranium price received increased by 24% to $58.21/lb, resulting in uranium revenue of R223-million for the quarter. Harmony's key gold projects in execution include the tailings storage facility expansion at Mine Waste Solutions and the Zaaiplaats project, which is the life of mine extension at Moab Khotsong. Harmony looks forward to working with Newmont as it continue with the permitting of Wafi-Golpu in PNG. Sustainability is informing the updating the feasibility study for the Eva Copper project in Australia, where a key project consideration is to include the supply of renewable power in the project plan. The sequencing of capital expenditure is expected to remain largely unchanged, with comfortable levels of capital intensity alongside a robust balance sheet. Regarding health and safety, Harmony is deeply saddened by three colleagues - Amahle Nodangala, a rock drill operator and Luvuyo Sangeni, a development team member, both from Kusasalethu in Gauteng, and Mlandelwa Zide, a scraper winch operator from Tshepong North in the Free State - losing their lives in two separate fall-of-ground events.

Noluthando Mthonti-Mlambo speaks to Eskom's Acting CFO, Martin Buys about the company's results. The power utility incurred a net loss after tax of R23.9 billion, a significant increase from the R11.9 billion net loss reported for the previous financial year. Primary energy expenses, specifically the expenditure to supplement generation capacity through the usage of open-cycle gas turbines (OCGTs), remained the biggest contributor to the financial loss, with a total of R29.7 billion spent on both Eskom and independent power producers in the period under review. This is almost double the R14.7 billion spent in the previous year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Durante muchos años la mayor parte de los modelos de Renault tenían como nombre un simple número. Pero, a diferencia de otras marcas, en las que el número era una pista, en Renault el número despista. Así que vamos a repasar todos… del R3 al R900, ¿o no sabías que hubo un R900, una especie de monovolumen con motor V8? ¡Hoy nos vamos a divertir! Porque es cierto que en otras marcas la numeración te da una pista. Pongamos por ejemplo BMW. Sabes que el primer número te da una referencia de la categoría del coche, un serie 3 es más que un serie 1 y menos que un serie 5. Además, los impares son 4 puertas laterales y los pares 2. Y las dos siguientes cifras te orientan sobre la cilindrada… todo muy organizadito y muy alemán… algo parecido hace, por ejemplo, Mercedes-Benz. Pues en Renault resulta que un R15 es un deportivo y que un R16 es una berlina media. Un R10 es un tres volúmenes, pero el R9 es también 3 volúmenes, como el R12… pero en cambio el R11 es dos volúmenes… ¡Vaya lio! ¿O no? Pues la verdad es que no. Cierto que no hay una lógica “global” pero por el conocimiento de la marca y de los modelos lo cierto es que la inmensa mayoría de los casos nadie tiene ningún problema para saber de qué coche hablamos. Hay excepciones, como el R3 que no todo el mundo conoce, o el R7 que no lo hubo en todos los países, o los R15, R15 y R17 no muy conocidos en España. Y la estrella del video de hoy, el R900. Y empezamos, por orden ascendente y con una advertencia: NO hemos tenido en cuenta los coches de competición sobre todo los F1. ¡Vamos allá! R3 (1961), R4 (1961), R5 (1972), R6 (1968), R7 (1974), R8 (1962), R9 (1981), R10 (1965), R11 (1981), R12 (1969), ¿R12+1?, R14 (1976), R15 (1971), R16 (1965), R17 (1971), R18 (1978), R19 (1988), R20 (1975), R21 (1986), R25 (1983), R30 (1975) y R900 (1959) Conclusión. ¿Me he olvidado de alguno? Espero vuestros comentarios . Y en un próximo vídeo, los F1. Coche del día. Cualquiera me valdría. Confieso que cuando vi los primeros dibujos, ni siquiera eran fotos, de los R20 y R30 me enamoré de ese coche. Pero no, el coche del día es el R16, un coche que cuando le vi me pareció un R6 “grandote” y que cuando lo probé me enamoró… un TX tendría, sin duda, en mi garaje.
Capitec's digital strategy has started paying off as the lender delivered a 17% rise in headline earnings per share and further hiked its dividend by a similar margin to R14. Business Day TV caught up with the company's CEO, Gerrie Fourie for a look at its interim results.
Despite attractively priced assets, the lure of remaining listed declining and a swift bounce back from Covid, Private Equity suffered its annus horribilus last year. Private equity investments totalled R14.9 billion in 2021, a marginal increase from R14.5 billion in 2020. But the number of deals was still the lowest since 2011, and the value is less than half of what the local industry attracted at its peak in 2018. Fund raising remains tough for South African private equity GPs as evidenced by the latest SAVCA survey which shows that Funds Under Management increased by 5.6% to R206.2bn down from a 5.8% increase in 2020.

No me digáis que soy malo por llamar al Renault 14 el “coche pera”… Porque fue una idea, mala idea, de la propia Renault. Muchas cosas salieron mal para que este coche, sucesor del R12 y mucho mejor que él, no triunfase… y para que nunca viese la luz su versión coupé. No nació para competir con el Volkswagen Golf, sino con la idea de superarlo. Ahí es nada. Pero esa era la meta del director de Renault, Bernard Hanon quien no escatimó recursos. Renault en los años 70. La gama de Renault en 1970 gozaba de un gran éxito, pero excepción hecha del Renault 5, nacido en 1972, se había quedado anticuada. Hablamos de los R4, R6, R16 y del R12 y sus derivados deportivos, los R15 y R17, sin olvidar que al R8 llegó hasta el 71 en Francia y 1976 en España y México. En el segmento medio, el de mayores ventas, el R12 ya era un dinosaurio, aunque se vendía bien y tenía mucho prestigio… y tuvo algunas segundas vidas como Dacia y en mercado de América de sur. ¡Más madera! Había que pararle los pies, mejor dicho, las ruedas, al VW Golf y a todo lo se le venía y desde Renault se pusieron en marcha. Hanon pidió a Robert Broyer, diseñador del R12, que diseñase su sustituto, pero pensando en el Golf, es decir, con dos volúmenes. Y como Renault tenía prisa hizo algo hoy en día muy frecuente, pero que no lo era tanto en esos años: Llegar a un acuerdo con una marca rival, concretamente Peugeot, para desarrollar un moderno motor que acabaría siendo usado más por Peugeot que por Renault. Recibimiento frío. Hemos tenido en esta serie de coches incomprendidos coches como el #Fiat Multipla o el AMC Pacer, coches que causaron rechazo desde el principio… pero no dejaron indiferente. Eso de que se hable de ti, aunque sea mal, también pasa en los coches. El R14 no causó rechazo, fue peor, causó cierta indiferencia. El R14, incluso por dentro, a muchos les parecía “demasiado moderno” a otros, simplemente soso… como era el caso de su salpicadero. El ”coche-pera”. Y entonces a un “brillante” -con comillas- ejecutivo-creativo publicitario se le ocurrió una idea extraordinaria: Comparar al R14, que se vendía en un verde “pera” con una pera. ¿Con que objetivo? No se sabe. A lo mejor ese día este creativo no se había tomado su medicación, pero lo cierto es que esta publicidad salió adelante. ¿Y qué pasó? Que se retiró enseguida. Pero el daño estaba hecho. Los clientes, no veían esa forma de pera como una solución de diseño destacable, más bien lo interpretaban como una prueba de falta de solidez y seriedad. Al final se quedó con el mote, que rebasó Francia para llegar a otros países. Convivió cuatro años con el R12, al que apenas superaba en ventas y antes de siete años fue sustituido por el R11 y luego por el 9. Su produjeron en algo más de seis años casi un millón de coches… ¿Puede considerarse en fracaso? Hombre si te digo que del VW Golf I se han fabricado 7 millones de unidades, desde 1974 hasta 2009, cuando cesó su fabricación en Sudáfrica, pues sí. Todo es relativo. España: Más de lo mismo. La vida del R14 en España fue todavía más breve, pues no apareció hasta 1976, cuatro años más tarde, pero eso sí, era Made in Spain. A pesar de los esfuerzos de la marca, el R14 lo tuvo peor en España, un mercado mucho menos maduro y donde los coches de 2 volúmenes, pese al Golf, se perciben como “menos coche” que un tres volúmenes. ¡Hubo un coupé! El proyecto 121, que era la clave interna del R14, contemplaba una versión coupé, parecida a un Hunting Break o Shooting Brake, como más os guste… “coupé de caza” para entendernos. En 1974 François Wasservogel, propuso este concepto de un "shooting brake" basado en el R14 que entonces se estaba industrializando. Se piense en Ligier para hacer esta carrocería, pero suceden dos cosas: Una la crisis de petróleo no invita a lanzar coupés, aunque sean modestos. La otra, que se acaban de remodelar los R15 y R17… así que iba haber una rivalidad interna. Se decide dejar el proyecto para más adelante, pero el escaso éxito del R14 aconseja no liarla más. Una curiosidad, para este modelo se preveía la denominación R9, por ser impar, como los otros coupés y de una numeración inferior, que debía dar idea que se situaba por debajo de los otros modelos deportivos. Conclusión. ¿Mereció este modelo semejante “maltrato” por parte de los compradores? Pues sin duda no. Honestamente, creo que no era un producto redondo que, si tren delantero McPherson no estaba bien resuelto, que faltaban versiones más prestacionales que sí tuvieron sus rivales, entre ellas el Golf GTi, que la estética no cautivo y que la publicidad fue en error de bulto… pero, dicho todo esto, no era un mal coche, ni mucho menos. Y, en mi opinión, en este momento, precisamente porque no tuvo éxito, porque se fabricaron, pocas unidades y se mantienen aún menos, es una buena pieza de colección.

After being called bullish about the Rand; TreasuryOne's currency expert Andre Cilliers is confident that the rand can remain entrenched between R14.50 and R14.85 in the near term. He told Biznews that the Rand strength is supported by peace talks between Russia and Ukraine and although people tend to forget what the impact of the war is as it drags on; it is still very much at the forefront. Cilliers also weighs on Moody's revision of the country's outlook to stable, and on the impact on the economy of billions of rands that was returned to the Treasury by the North West and other provinces.
TreasuryONE's Currency Risk Strategist Andre Cilliers has been involved in the foreign exchange markets for almost four decades. During that time he could probably count on one hand the number of times he has been optimistic on South Africa's ever weakening currency. But a confluence of factors are providing a powerful stimulant - with Cilliers having transformed (at least temporarily) into a Rand Bull. He reckons a further surge to R14.50 against the US Dollar may be on the cards.

本文章发布于订阅号:百车全说,订阅号阅读更加方便,欢迎关注最近连续聊了几位听友的故事,反响非常不错。大家也都踊跃给我投稿,我的邮箱:418150505@qq.com。读大家的来信感觉特别开心,写信不是写文章,不需要多么优美的修辞,多么精妙的排比,不需要讲究文章的结构和技巧。只要是自己真实发生的事,写出来就行,哪怕错别字连篇也没关系。甚至有听友为了偷懒,直接用语音转文字,然后就发我了,也挺好。今天这期节目聊的这个故事,是一位来自深圳的听友投稿的,他在2016年买了人生中的第一辆车,从准备买车到最后卖车,他在某知名汽车论坛4年多的时间发了100多篇帖子。他买车、用车和卖车的过程并没有什么跌宕起伏的剧情,但是一个又一个的小故事,让我觉得无比真实。读他的来信,好几次我都情不自禁的笑了,因为我仿佛看到了当年开奥拓时候的自己。所以,今天在节目里把这位听友的故事分享给大家,希望大家喜欢。这位听友叫小天,90年生,甘肃人,2005年中专毕业之后来到深圳打工。因为从小就特别喜欢车,虽然知道自己的经济实力离买车还很遥远,但是2012年还是去考了驾照。用他的话说,这是给自己的一种激励方式,每天摸一摸自己的驾照,鼓励自己努力工作,早日提一台属于自己的车回来。一转眼来到了2015年,小天在深圳打拼了10年,省吃俭用,竟然账上存款有了15万,心里还是美滋滋的,他经常路过4s店都忍不住想冲进去提一台车回去。可是理智告诉他不可以,因为还有比买车更重要的事没做,那就是娶媳妇。在家人的劝说下,小天用15万首付,回到兰州买了套房,从此每个月背上了2000多的房贷。跟许多人一样,房子、车子、妻子、孩子、票子,人生每个阶段就是完成不同的任务。房子、妻子都有了,孩子得顺其自然,票子得慢慢赚。小天又开始心痒痒的想启动买车计划。2016年,他鼓励自己媳妇也去考个驾照,今后买台车回来,俩人可以换着开。想法挺好,可是之前15万积蓄全部拿去买房了,手头没有一分钱存款,怎么办?大家注意细节,小天让媳妇提前考驾照,其实等同于心理暗示,买车是咱俩的事,如果只有小天有驾照,媳妇没有,那么买车就是自己要买,与媳妇无关。所以最后凑购车款的时候,媳妇主动提出可以支援1万,小天的父亲也愿意出1万辅助一下。有了2万多的首付,小天琢磨着贷款买台5万多的车总归是够了吧。于是,他就开始在各大汽车网站做功课了。小天的预算虽然不多,但是他对自己的第一辆爱车还是很有想法的。首先,排除日系车,这是他的个人情节。其次,不考虑国产,他并不是觉得国产品牌不好,而是觉得合资也有低价位的车型,二选一的话,还是合资优先。那么根据手头的预算,他最后定下了几款备选车型:Polo、捷达、现代瑞纳和雪佛兰赛欧3。去大众4s店看了几次,价格实在谈不下来,超预算太多所以放弃了。瑞纳看了之后也实在无感,最后就剩雪佛兰4S店没去,他心里也没底,这车到底怎样?2016年3月15日,小天在论坛发帖问网友,赛欧3这车怎么样?帖子里自己先说了一堆网友反映的问题,然后表示自己要买车,现在很迷茫,希望车主站出来讲两句真实体验。我看到这篇帖子里有几十位网友给他鼓励,说自己的车开了几年了,用的不错,没什么问题。小天因为这篇帖子里车友们的鼓励,更加坚定要买赛欧3了。从3月研究到5月份,连车型都确定好了,就买1.3L手动理想版。2016年5月的一个下午,小天去他好朋友张哥的店里玩,大老远就看到了张哥刚提的福特蒙迪欧,锃光瓦亮的停在店门口,看的小天哈喇子都要流出来了。俩人坐下来闲聊,肯定得提张哥刚买的这台蒙迪欧。其实,张哥也是刚拿驾照的新手,这两年开店赚了点钱,手痒痒的想开车,就买了一台蒙迪欧。张哥鼓励小天,有条件就买台车,早买早享受,这话一下子就撩的小天恨不得马上冲到4s店提一台。张哥估计看出了小天眼神里的那股小火苗,再加上自己也想开新车练练手。于是跟小天说,要不我现在就开车带你去4s店看车?小天一看手表,嚯,这都晚上7点了,开车去4s店还得要30多分钟,咱这是去看车还是去吃夜宵?张哥说,走呗,有车就看,没车就撸串。于是,俩人真就开车去4s店了。这里介绍一下小天的位置,他虽然在深圳,但是在深圳与东莞交界的地方,所以去到的雪佛兰4s店是在东莞地界。由于张哥是个新手,一路上龟速行驶,还开错了好几个路口,最后开到雪佛兰4s店都快晚上9点钟了,天都已经黑了。可这时,神奇的一幕出现了,雪佛兰4s店最后一名销售,正准备关灯锁门下班走人。更关键的是,这还是位漂亮的女销售。这女销售胆子也挺大,黑灯瞎火的晚上,俩大老爷们跟打了鸡血似的冲进4s店,她也不害怕。小天说,自己想买赛欧,这是第一次到4s店看实车,希望销售能给介绍一下。其实,女销售当时说了什么,小天也记不得了,当时他满眼都是赛欧3,怎么看这车怎么好看,小巧玲珑的造型,凹凸有致的曲线,这是他来信的原话。我严重怀疑他的回忆有些错位,可能这并不是赛欧给他留下的第一印象,而是那个女销售。小天想买这车,还有一个自我催眠的理由,他说自己是个变形金刚迷,童年记忆里,大黄蜂的忠诚、勇敢和霸气给他留下了深深地烙印。你看看,买车的时候永远是找它的优点,卖车的时候永远找它的缺点。女销售说天色已晚,咱们赶紧办正事吧。小天红着脸问,啥是正事啊?女销售说买车,你不会大老远跑过来,就是为了看一眼再回去吧?小天有点尴尬地说,买是想买,但是钱还没凑够。女销售说没关系,你交200定金,签合同的时候可以抵扣2000,非常划算。小天又问,那么赛欧3 1.3L手动理想版现在什么价?销售说,57900元。小天心想,这车指导价62900元,之前在网上看到的优惠价好像就是57900。但是他跟销售说,这价格觉得有点贵。于是转头看了看张哥,希望张哥说两句劝他考虑考虑,回头再说的话。结果张哥来了句,来都来了,喜欢就买,都这么晚了别墨迹了。于是,小天就稀里糊涂的交了200元定金,把车给定了。女销售说,周末有空可以再来店里聊一下具体订单细节。到了周六,小天迫不及待的打了个出租直奔雪佛兰4s店,女销售直接把写好的合同推到小天面前,说签字交钱就可以了。小天很诧异地问,咱们难道没有讨价还价的流程吗?女销售说,我当时报的57900就是底价,而且还给你了200抵2000的额外优惠,这价格很好的。小天说,那不行,去菜场买菜还能讨价还价呢,买车咋能这么草率,怎么着你也得再给我便宜1000块钱。女销售满脸惊讶,好像小天提了什么无理的理由一样,怎么可能再优惠1000这么多?俩人就这么掰扯了半天,最后女销售不情不愿地说去跟领导申请一下。用小天的话说,她也就是去了趟卫生间,回来表示自己被领导训了一顿,非常委屈,领导说了,只此一单,下不为例。小天心想,虽然你演技拙劣,但我配合你的表演,于是确定了配置、颜色和赠送项目,就把订单最终确定了下来。小天定的是蓝色,没过几天销售打电话告诉他,蓝色暂时没货,要不换其他颜色?小天说要么换红色?可他又不确定红色是什么样子,于是又在网上发帖,希望红色的赛欧车友发一下自己车的照片,不要ps过的,希望就是真实的颜色,还真有不少网友给他发了照片。这里给大家提个醒,手机拍出来的照片也很假,各个品牌手机算法不同,你拍个绿草坪试试就知道了,苹果,华为,小米,三星出来的颜色差距非常大。所以选车的颜色,必须到店里眼见为实,看图片和视频都会有误差。最后销售也怕麻烦,告诉他你就买白色吧,有现货,而且选这颜色肯定不会错。提车当天,小天的心情跟娶媳妇一样兴奋。车提回来,他算了一下这次的总消费,裸车57900元,购置税当时有减半政策2939元,保险4950元,上牌2000元,贷款手续费2000元,贴息2500元,车船税270元。最后算下来,这台车总共花了73000多(这个价格他当时觉得还不错,后来发到论坛里, 大家都说他买贵了,让小天郁闷了很久)。但因为是贷款,所以首付加其他费用,只付出去36000多,今后3年每个月月供1105元。再加上之前兰州买房的贷款每个月2000多,现在小天每个月车贷、房贷合计3000多,当时的小天压力的确不小。不过有压力就有动力,小天和媳妇这3年努力挣钱,没想到到了2019年车贷还完的时候,竟然又凑了28万在媳妇老家贷款买了套房,媳妇老家在武汉周边的一个小镇,他也喜欢今后还在在那儿生活、学习,将来能在武汉这种新一线城市发展。看得出,小天是一位内心细腻,对生活很有规划的人。由于上下班路程太短,赛欧买回来8个多月,才跑了不到5000公里。小天一直心痒痒的想跑长途感受一下,2017年4月终于等来了机会,他要带着女友去女方家举行婚礼,从深圳到武汉单程1000多公里,走大广高速,全程要开13个多小时,这一路上小天就休息了一次,也是够猛的。这台车的油耗也让他很满意,全程只加了2次油,一次160元。用他的话讲,在高速上什么奔驰、宝马都一样,都得限速在120km上下,他一路上放着DJ嗨曲,动次打次的边开车边欣赏风景,这时候的他才真正体会到了拥有一台车的真正乐趣。在媳妇老家办完婚礼,新婚小俩口开着新车又风雨兼程的返回了深圳,继续开始拼搏的生活。小天是真的喜欢他的这台车,虽然他也知道这台车很便宜,也没必要去折腾些什么。但是,他心里总是想给这台车装饰一些自己喜欢的东西。小天喜欢研究车,他发现好车都有“日间行车灯”,于是就开始上网搜,赛欧能否改装日行灯。结果发现,还真有,而且价格不贵才200多。于是他二话不说就下单买了回来。结果安装的时候,惹了一肚子气。卖家秀跟买家秀完全不一样,圆形的雾灯竟然是椭圆形,怎么装都装不进去,结果雾灯凹在里面,日行灯凸在外面,巨丑无比。而且师傅提醒他,广州这里根本没有雾,装这玩意儿干嘛?于是小天又买了一套,这次安装还算顺利。改装这东西有瘾,小天接着又买了一堆的小玩意,从车身贴纸到杯垫,从晴雨挡到小尾翼,小尾喉,短天线,甚至连出风口的装饰条都给换了。小天一顿操作之后,看着自己的作品,非常满意的点点头,这才是属于我的个性化赛欧,哦不,这是我的小黄蜂(方向盘上的标都换成了大黄蜂的logo)。我知道很多人看到图片都笑了,用现在流行的词加做“土嗨”,但是我完全能理解当时小天的心情。就像当年我开二手奥拓的时候,我花了好几个日夜去研究改音响。因为奥拓一共就俩喇叭,还坏了一个。我要求不高,就想给车上多添俩喇叭,然后给车机换个CD,平时也能听个响。最后我买的CD机是拆车件,才50块钱,一对同轴喇叭,好像也就不到200,找师傅安装收了我30块钱。安装好喇叭,我至今还记得,第一天开在路上的兴奋劲。我当时奥拓的车尾也贴了“龟速行驶中”,甚至还把奥迪四个环,都贴在了尾部(那时刚去奥迪4s店上班)。现在回想10几年前的点点滴滴,既觉得好傻,又觉得挺有意思。小天对这台赛欧大手笔的改装主要有两个,一是中控换了个液晶屏,带倒车影像那种,花了大约2000块。到了2018年,小天的赛欧开了2年多,行驶了18800公里,突然又想换更宽的轮胎了,估计是天天泡论坛被车友安利的。其实这么新的车,这么少的公里数,根本没必要换胎。论坛里也是人才辈出,有人说他换了195/60 R14的四条胎,遇到某虎打折,750元拿下,然后旧胎放二手平台卖了200,等于换4条胎只花了500。小天一下就被种草了,因为原厂胎是175/70 R14,他用了这两年感觉非常不好,从外观上看,像是个小脚老太太,开起来胎噪也大,速度快一点过弯感觉随时要侧翻。所以看到论坛里很多人说换了195/60 R14的胎怎么香怎么香,他就心痒痒。终于等到一次平台有活动,小天花了900多大洋,换了195/60 R14的四条宽胎。用他的话说,换完之后,像是换了台新车,后悔没有早点换。到了2020年,赛欧的贷款早已经还完了,兰州和武汉两套房的贷款还是压力挺大,小天暂时还没什么换车的打算。可有时候换车的想法是自己给的,有时候换车的情况是上天安排的。2020年1月21日,小天带着媳妇从深圳开长途回武汉过年,到家已经是晚上10点多了。第二天一觉睡到自然醒,走走亲戚就过去了。到了第三天,也就是1月23日,全国人民都知道的大新闻,武汉因为疫情封城了。小天一个在深圳打工的西北汉子,狂奔1000多公里来到武汉,不到3天被通知居家隔离3个月。两套房子的贷款每个月都不能断,但是小天和媳妇回不了深圳上班,每个月只有出没有进,眼瞅着银行存款一点点在消耗殆尽。就在这个节骨眼上,小天突然收到一条短信。他脸上的表情一会哭一会儿笑,吓得媳妇赶紧问他咋回事,医院现在可忙不过来,不收精神病人。小天把手机拿给媳妇看,喏,你瞅瞅,短信通知我,刚刚摇中了深圳车牌。这里给大家普及一下深圳车牌的中签率,大约在0.2%,也就是2‰,1000个人里有2个幸运儿。小天收到这个消息,当然开心。可问题是,深圳要求国六排放,他的赛欧是国5排放,东莞牌照,肯定迁不进深圳。所以只能是卖掉赛欧,然后再回深圳买一辆新车。这台赛欧估摸着也就卖个3万上下,再买新车,怎么也得贴个好几万。可深圳牌照摇中之后,6个月内必须上牌,否则就作废了。收到短信的日期是2月26日,这还在武汉隔离着呢,什么时候解禁都不清楚。这种给人希望,又让人绝望的感觉,非常尴尬。不过,幸好在4月8日,武汉宣布解封,小天和媳妇一刻都没停留,凌晨5点就开车返回了深圳。之后,小天在某家论坛发帖售卖自己的这台赛欧,可能是之前发了100多条贴,在赛欧论坛已经小有名气了,而且某家论坛,别人点你头像可以看到你之前发的帖子,就比如今天我说的很多故事,还有用的配图,很多都是我回看小天之前的帖子得到的信息。所以,大家今后如果想要自己的车卖个好价钱,可以长期在论坛记录自己的用车生活。小天发帖没几天,就有不少人私信他咨询购车的问题,最终他的车卖给了一位莆田的网友。在二手车过户的时候,又遇到了一点小麻烦。之前我们说过,小天的车灯,轮胎,小尾翼等等很多地方都改过。有人说六年免检,改装不用怕,安心玩5年再说。可大家想过没有,可能2、3年你这车就要转手卖了,过户的时候,依然要恢复原厂状态。小天的车是东莞牌,他人在深圳,对东莞不熟。于是就想到了之前在雪佛兰售后保养的时候,经常接待他的一个经理。于是就联系这位经理,让帮忙问问车管所认不认识人,可不可以不要恢复原厂状态,就直接过户。雪佛兰售后经理说,这事简单,我给你介绍个黄牛,肯定可以搞定。小天问要多少钱,经理说1500,小天说1000行不行?经理说可以。于是,小天就约了莆田买车的网友到东莞见面过户。结果,过户流程走完了,东莞黄牛拿着绿本和车钥匙,问小天要2000块钱。小天当时就傻了,他说跟雪佛兰售后经理讲好了1000的,黄牛说不可能,就是2000。小天赶忙翻看他与售后经理的聊天记录,结果巧了,之前聊天都是文字,就在他问价格的时候,对方售后经理打了个语音电话过来,他们的价格是在语音电话里聊的,等于说没了证据。小天心想,自己肯定是被人摆了一道,可是在人家地盘,车钥匙和绿本都在对方手上,能怎样呢?于是老老实实的交了2000,这台车一共才卖了3万,扣掉2000的黄牛费用,实际进钱包的才28000元。这台赛欧从2016年入手,到2020年置换一共开了将近4年时间,7万多买的,卖了3万(实际上是2万8),大家觉得保值不保值呢?后来小天挂上深圳牌的新座驾,是2020款的吉利帝豪GL 1.4T高配,用他的话说,国产品牌真的是越来越好了。这台车无论是外观到内饰,配置到动力,都是吊打之前的赛欧。平时在单位,停在同事的轩逸边上,气场一点都不输。小天说,今后再写一篇投稿,聊聊自己这台帝豪GL的买车和用车故事,也非常有意思。关于小天的故事大家听后感觉怎样?欢迎在我们节目下方留言交流,这是一个平凡的不能再平凡的车友的故事,但是有血有肉的情节,让我在读他来信的时候,也跟着他的故事一会儿哈哈笑,一会儿皱眉毛。也欢迎大家投稿给我,聊聊你买车,用车的故事,再平凡的人,也有自己的故事。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号:

本文章发布于订阅号:百车全说,订阅号阅读更加方便,欢迎关注最近连续聊了几位听友的故事,反响非常不错。大家也都踊跃给我投稿,我的邮箱:418150505@qq.com。读大家的来信感觉特别开心,写信不是写文章,不需要多么优美的修辞,多么精妙的排比,不需要讲究文章的结构和技巧。只要是自己真实发生的事,写出来就行,哪怕错别字连篇也没关系。甚至有听友为了偷懒,直接用语音转文字,然后就发我了,也挺好。今天这期节目聊的这个故事,是一位来自深圳的听友投稿的,他在2016年买了人生中的第一辆车,从准备买车到最后卖车,他在某知名汽车论坛4年多的时间发了100多篇帖子。他买车、用车和卖车的过程并没有什么跌宕起伏的剧情,但是一个又一个的小故事,让我觉得无比真实。读他的来信,好几次我都情不自禁的笑了,因为我仿佛看到了当年开奥拓时候的自己。所以,今天在节目里把这位听友的故事分享给大家,希望大家喜欢。这位听友叫小天,90年生,甘肃人,2005年中专毕业之后来到深圳打工。因为从小就特别喜欢车,虽然知道自己的经济实力离买车还很遥远,但是2012年还是去考了驾照。用他的话说,这是给自己的一种激励方式,每天摸一摸自己的驾照,鼓励自己努力工作,早日提一台属于自己的车回来。一转眼来到了2015年,小天在深圳打拼了10年,省吃俭用,竟然账上存款有了15万,心里还是美滋滋的,他经常路过4s店都忍不住想冲进去提一台车回去。可是理智告诉他不可以,因为还有比买车更重要的事没做,那就是娶媳妇。在家人的劝说下,小天用15万首付,回到兰州买了套房,从此每个月背上了2000多的房贷。跟许多人一样,房子、车子、妻子、孩子、票子,人生每个阶段就是完成不同的任务。房子、妻子都有了,孩子得顺其自然,票子得慢慢赚。小天又开始心痒痒的想启动买车计划。2016年,他鼓励自己媳妇也去考个驾照,今后买台车回来,俩人可以换着开。想法挺好,可是之前15万积蓄全部拿去买房了,手头没有一分钱存款,怎么办?大家注意细节,小天让媳妇提前考驾照,其实等同于心理暗示,买车是咱俩的事,如果只有小天有驾照,媳妇没有,那么买车就是自己要买,与媳妇无关。所以最后凑购车款的时候,媳妇主动提出可以支援1万,小天的父亲也愿意出1万辅助一下。有了2万多的首付,小天琢磨着贷款买台5万多的车总归是够了吧。于是,他就开始在各大汽车网站做功课了。小天的预算虽然不多,但是他对自己的第一辆爱车还是很有想法的。首先,排除日系车,这是他的个人情节。其次,不考虑国产,他并不是觉得国产品牌不好,而是觉得合资也有低价位的车型,二选一的话,还是合资优先。那么根据手头的预算,他最后定下了几款备选车型:Polo、捷达、现代瑞纳和雪佛兰赛欧3。去大众4s店看了几次,价格实在谈不下来,超预算太多所以放弃了。瑞纳看了之后也实在无感,最后就剩雪佛兰4S店没去,他心里也没底,这车到底怎样?2016年3月15日,小天在论坛发帖问网友,赛欧3这车怎么样?帖子里自己先说了一堆网友反映的问题,然后表示自己要买车,现在很迷茫,希望车主站出来讲两句真实体验。我看到这篇帖子里有几十位网友给他鼓励,说自己的车开了几年了,用的不错,没什么问题。小天因为这篇帖子里车友们的鼓励,更加坚定要买赛欧3了。从3月研究到5月份,连车型都确定好了,就买1.3L手动理想版。2016年5月的一个下午,小天去他好朋友张哥的店里玩,大老远就看到了张哥刚提的福特蒙迪欧,锃光瓦亮的停在店门口,看的小天哈喇子都要流出来了。俩人坐下来闲聊,肯定得提张哥刚买的这台蒙迪欧。其实,张哥也是刚拿驾照的新手,这两年开店赚了点钱,手痒痒的想开车,就买了一台蒙迪欧。张哥鼓励小天,有条件就买台车,早买早享受,这话一下子就撩的小天恨不得马上冲到4s店提一台。张哥估计看出了小天眼神里的那股小火苗,再加上自己也想开新车练练手。于是跟小天说,要不我现在就开车带你去4s店看车?小天一看手表,嚯,这都晚上7点了,开车去4s店还得要30多分钟,咱这是去看车还是去吃夜宵?张哥说,走呗,有车就看,没车就撸串。于是,俩人真就开车去4s店了。这里介绍一下小天的位置,他虽然在深圳,但是在深圳与东莞交界的地方,所以去到的雪佛兰4s店是在东莞地界。由于张哥是个新手,一路上龟速行驶,还开错了好几个路口,最后开到雪佛兰4s店都快晚上9点钟了,天都已经黑了。可这时,神奇的一幕出现了,雪佛兰4s店最后一名销售,正准备关灯锁门下班走人。更关键的是,这还是位漂亮的女销售。这女销售胆子也挺大,黑灯瞎火的晚上,俩大老爷们跟打了鸡血似的冲进4s店,她也不害怕。小天说,自己想买赛欧,这是第一次到4s店看实车,希望销售能给介绍一下。其实,女销售当时说了什么,小天也记不得了,当时他满眼都是赛欧3,怎么看这车怎么好看,小巧玲珑的造型,凹凸有致的曲线,这是他来信的原话。我严重怀疑他的回忆有些错位,可能这并不是赛欧给他留下的第一印象,而是那个女销售。小天想买这车,还有一个自我催眠的理由,他说自己是个变形金刚迷,童年记忆里,大黄蜂的忠诚、勇敢和霸气给他留下了深深地烙印。你看看,买车的时候永远是找它的优点,卖车的时候永远找它的缺点。女销售说天色已晚,咱们赶紧办正事吧。小天红着脸问,啥是正事啊?女销售说买车,你不会大老远跑过来,就是为了看一眼再回去吧?小天有点尴尬地说,买是想买,但是钱还没凑够。女销售说没关系,你交200定金,签合同的时候可以抵扣2000,非常划算。小天又问,那么赛欧3 1.3L手动理想版现在什么价?销售说,57900元。小天心想,这车指导价62900元,之前在网上看到的优惠价好像就是57900。但是他跟销售说,这价格觉得有点贵。于是转头看了看张哥,希望张哥说两句劝他考虑考虑,回头再说的话。结果张哥来了句,来都来了,喜欢就买,都这么晚了别墨迹了。于是,小天就稀里糊涂的交了200元定金,把车给定了。女销售说,周末有空可以再来店里聊一下具体订单细节。到了周六,小天迫不及待的打了个出租直奔雪佛兰4s店,女销售直接把写好的合同推到小天面前,说签字交钱就可以了。小天很诧异地问,咱们难道没有讨价还价的流程吗?女销售说,我当时报的57900就是底价,而且还给你了200抵2000的额外优惠,这价格很好的。小天说,那不行,去菜场买菜还能讨价还价呢,买车咋能这么草率,怎么着你也得再给我便宜1000块钱。女销售满脸惊讶,好像小天提了什么无理的理由一样,怎么可能再优惠1000这么多?俩人就这么掰扯了半天,最后女销售不情不愿地说去跟领导申请一下。用小天的话说,她也就是去了趟卫生间,回来表示自己被领导训了一顿,非常委屈,领导说了,只此一单,下不为例。小天心想,虽然你演技拙劣,但我配合你的表演,于是确定了配置、颜色和赠送项目,就把订单最终确定了下来。小天定的是蓝色,没过几天销售打电话告诉他,蓝色暂时没货,要不换其他颜色?小天说要么换红色?可他又不确定红色是什么样子,于是又在网上发帖,希望红色的赛欧车友发一下自己车的照片,不要ps过的,希望就是真实的颜色,还真有不少网友给他发了照片。这里给大家提个醒,手机拍出来的照片也很假,各个品牌手机算法不同,你拍个绿草坪试试就知道了,苹果,华为,小米,三星出来的颜色差距非常大。所以选车的颜色,必须到店里眼见为实,看图片和视频都会有误差。最后销售也怕麻烦,告诉他你就买白色吧,有现货,而且选这颜色肯定不会错。提车当天,小天的心情跟娶媳妇一样兴奋。车提回来,他算了一下这次的总消费,裸车57900元,购置税当时有减半政策2939元,保险4950元,上牌2000元,贷款手续费2000元,贴息2500元,车船税270元。最后算下来,这台车总共花了73000多(这个价格他当时觉得还不错,后来发到论坛里, 大家都说他买贵了,让小天郁闷了很久)。但因为是贷款,所以首付加其他费用,只付出去36000多,今后3年每个月月供1105元。再加上之前兰州买房的贷款每个月2000多,现在小天每个月车贷、房贷合计3000多,当时的小天压力的确不小。不过有压力就有动力,小天和媳妇这3年努力挣钱,没想到到了2019年车贷还完的时候,竟然又凑了28万在媳妇老家贷款买了套房,媳妇老家在武汉周边的一个小镇,他也喜欢今后还在在那儿生活、学习,将来能在武汉这种新一线城市发展。看得出,小天是一位内心细腻,对生活很有规划的人。由于上下班路程太短,赛欧买回来8个多月,才跑了不到5000公里。小天一直心痒痒的想跑长途感受一下,2017年4月终于等来了机会,他要带着女友去女方家举行婚礼,从深圳到武汉单程1000多公里,走大广高速,全程要开13个多小时,这一路上小天就休息了一次,也是够猛的。这台车的油耗也让他很满意,全程只加了2次油,一次160元。用他的话讲,在高速上什么奔驰、宝马都一样,都得限速在120km上下,他一路上放着DJ嗨曲,动次打次的边开车边欣赏风景,这时候的他才真正体会到了拥有一台车的真正乐趣。在媳妇老家办完婚礼,新婚小俩口开着新车又风雨兼程的返回了深圳,继续开始拼搏的生活。小天是真的喜欢他的这台车,虽然他也知道这台车很便宜,也没必要去折腾些什么。但是,他心里总是想给这台车装饰一些自己喜欢的东西。小天喜欢研究车,他发现好车都有“日间行车灯”,于是就开始上网搜,赛欧能否改装日行灯。结果发现,还真有,而且价格不贵才200多。于是他二话不说就下单买了回来。结果安装的时候,惹了一肚子气。卖家秀跟买家秀完全不一样,圆形的雾灯竟然是椭圆形,怎么装都装不进去,结果雾灯凹在里面,日行灯凸在外面,巨丑无比。而且师傅提醒他,广州这里根本没有雾,装这玩意儿干嘛?于是小天又买了一套,这次安装还算顺利。改装这东西有瘾,小天接着又买了一堆的小玩意,从车身贴纸到杯垫,从晴雨挡到小尾翼,小尾喉,短天线,甚至连出风口的装饰条都给换了。小天一顿操作之后,看着自己的作品,非常满意的点点头,这才是属于我的个性化赛欧,哦不,这是我的小黄蜂(方向盘上的标都换成了大黄蜂的logo)。我知道很多人看到图片都笑了,用现在流行的词加做“土嗨”,但是我完全能理解当时小天的心情。就像当年我开二手奥拓的时候,我花了好几个日夜去研究改音响。因为奥拓一共就俩喇叭,还坏了一个。我要求不高,就想给车上多添俩喇叭,然后给车机换个CD,平时也能听个响。最后我买的CD机是拆车件,才50块钱,一对同轴喇叭,好像也就不到200,找师傅安装收了我30块钱。安装好喇叭,我至今还记得,第一天开在路上的兴奋劲。我当时奥拓的车尾也贴了“龟速行驶中”,甚至还把奥迪四个环,都贴在了尾部(那时刚去奥迪4s店上班)。现在回想10几年前的点点滴滴,既觉得好傻,又觉得挺有意思。小天对这台赛欧大手笔的改装主要有两个,一是中控换了个液晶屏,带倒车影像那种,花了大约2000块。到了2018年,小天的赛欧开了2年多,行驶了18800公里,突然又想换更宽的轮胎了,估计是天天泡论坛被车友安利的。其实这么新的车,这么少的公里数,根本没必要换胎。论坛里也是人才辈出,有人说他换了195/60 R14的四条胎,遇到某虎打折,750元拿下,然后旧胎放二手平台卖了200,等于换4条胎只花了500。小天一下就被种草了,因为原厂胎是175/70 R14,他用了这两年感觉非常不好,从外观上看,像是个小脚老太太,开起来胎噪也大,速度快一点过弯感觉随时要侧翻。所以看到论坛里很多人说换了195/60 R14的胎怎么香怎么香,他就心痒痒。终于等到一次平台有活动,小天花了900多大洋,换了195/60 R14的四条宽胎。用他的话说,换完之后,像是换了台新车,后悔没有早点换。到了2020年,赛欧的贷款早已经还完了,兰州和武汉两套房的贷款还是压力挺大,小天暂时还没什么换车的打算。可有时候换车的想法是自己给的,有时候换车的情况是上天安排的。2020年1月21日,小天带着媳妇从深圳开长途回武汉过年,到家已经是晚上10点多了。第二天一觉睡到自然醒,走走亲戚就过去了。到了第三天,也就是1月23日,全国人民都知道的大新闻,武汉因为疫情封城了。小天一个在深圳打工的西北汉子,狂奔1000多公里来到武汉,不到3天被通知居家隔离3个月。两套房子的贷款每个月都不能断,但是小天和媳妇回不了深圳上班,每个月只有出没有进,眼瞅着银行存款一点点在消耗殆尽。就在这个节骨眼上,小天突然收到一条短信。他脸上的表情一会哭一会儿笑,吓得媳妇赶紧问他咋回事,医院现在可忙不过来,不收精神病人。小天把手机拿给媳妇看,喏,你瞅瞅,短信通知我,刚刚摇中了深圳车牌。这里给大家普及一下深圳车牌的中签率,大约在0.2%,也就是2‰,1000个人里有2个幸运儿。小天收到这个消息,当然开心。可问题是,深圳要求国六排放,他的赛欧是国5排放,东莞牌照,肯定迁不进深圳。所以只能是卖掉赛欧,然后再回深圳买一辆新车。这台赛欧估摸着也就卖个3万上下,再买新车,怎么也得贴个好几万。可深圳牌照摇中之后,6个月内必须上牌,否则就作废了。收到短信的日期是2月26日,这还在武汉隔离着呢,什么时候解禁都不清楚。这种给人希望,又让人绝望的感觉,非常尴尬。不过,幸好在4月8日,武汉宣布解封,小天和媳妇一刻都没停留,凌晨5点就开车返回了深圳。之后,小天在某家论坛发帖售卖自己的这台赛欧,可能是之前发了100多条贴,在赛欧论坛已经小有名气了,而且某家论坛,别人点你头像可以看到你之前发的帖子,就比如今天我说的很多故事,还有用的配图,很多都是我回看小天之前的帖子得到的信息。所以,大家今后如果想要自己的车卖个好价钱,可以长期在论坛记录自己的用车生活。小天发帖没几天,就有不少人私信他咨询购车的问题,最终他的车卖给了一位莆田的网友。在二手车过户的时候,又遇到了一点小麻烦。之前我们说过,小天的车灯,轮胎,小尾翼等等很多地方都改过。有人说六年免检,改装不用怕,安心玩5年再说。可大家想过没有,可能2、3年你这车就要转手卖了,过户的时候,依然要恢复原厂状态。小天的车是东莞牌,他人在深圳,对东莞不熟。于是就想到了之前在雪佛兰售后保养的时候,经常接待他的一个经理。于是就联系这位经理,让帮忙问问车管所认不认识人,可不可以不要恢复原厂状态,就直接过户。雪佛兰售后经理说,这事简单,我给你介绍个黄牛,肯定可以搞定。小天问要多少钱,经理说1500,小天说1000行不行?经理说可以。于是,小天就约了莆田买车的网友到东莞见面过户。结果,过户流程走完了,东莞黄牛拿着绿本和车钥匙,问小天要2000块钱。小天当时就傻了,他说跟雪佛兰售后经理讲好了1000的,黄牛说不可能,就是2000。小天赶忙翻看他与售后经理的聊天记录,结果巧了,之前聊天都是文字,就在他问价格的时候,对方售后经理打了个语音电话过来,他们的价格是在语音电话里聊的,等于说没了证据。小天心想,自己肯定是被人摆了一道,可是在人家地盘,车钥匙和绿本都在对方手上,能怎样呢?于是老老实实的交了2000,这台车一共才卖了3万,扣掉2000的黄牛费用,实际进钱包的才28000元。这台赛欧从2016年入手,到2020年置换一共开了将近4年时间,7万多买的,卖了3万(实际上是2万8),大家觉得保值不保值呢?后来小天挂上深圳牌的新座驾,是2020款的吉利帝豪GL 1.4T高配,用他的话说,国产品牌真的是越来越好了。这台车无论是外观到内饰,配置到动力,都是吊打之前的赛欧。平时在单位,停在同事的轩逸边上,气场一点都不输。小天说,今后再写一篇投稿,聊聊自己这台帝豪GL的买车和用车故事,也非常有意思。关于小天的故事大家听后感觉怎样?欢迎在我们节目下方留言交流,这是一个平凡的不能再平凡的车友的故事,但是有血有肉的情节,让我在读他来信的时候,也跟着他的故事一会儿哈哈笑,一会儿皱眉毛。也欢迎大家投稿给我,聊聊你买车,用车的故事,再平凡的人,也有自己的故事。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号:

※ 本文章发布于订阅号:百车全说,订阅号阅读更加方便,欢迎关注随着新年的鞭炮声,在这里先给各位拜个晚年,祝大家新的一年里身体健康、万事如意、工作顺利、和和美美。新一年的到来,很多厂家也是即将发布自己的新车型,所以今天就和各位一起来梳理一下,看看有哪些车型是值得关注的。荣威MARVEL R首先是上汽的MRAVEL R,这个车子其实一直都给我有点“犹抱琵琶半遮面”的感觉。首先是在2020年4月,上汽发布了新款的“R标”,并且特地指明这个LOGO是主要面向荣威的中高端新能源车,后来上汽也是为这个R标进行了各种路演、快闪等等宣传活动,最后终于千呼万唤始出来,2020年2月7日上汽MARVEL R正式上市,在我看完实车之后,我说实话就两个字:失望。这次的MARVEL R一共有两个车型,定价分别为21.98万和23.98万,NEDC综合续航都是505公里,配备69.9度的三元锂电池包,快充到80%需要半个小时,慢充需要12个小时,三电系统是上汽自己做的。其中,普通版车型是双电机后驱,最大功率186马力/410牛米,百公里加速7.9秒;PRO版车型的后驱版性能和普通版一致,相比之下主要是多出了一套主被动安全装备、全速自适应巡航(普通版是定速巡航)、多一套前雷达(普通版只有后雷达)、自动泊车入位、感应后备箱、主动闭合式进气格栅(这个我有点没看懂,一个电动车要主动闭合式进气格栅有什么用)、座椅材质变成了皮+ALCANTARA、前排座椅多出通风功能(普通版只有加热)、多出了手势控制、面部识别、9喇叭BOSE音响(普通版是8喇叭普通音响)、自适应远近光灯、64色氛围灯、AR实景驾驶辅助系统。如果你在PRO版车型的基础上,再花2万块钱选装四驱性能包,那你将得到一套前轮电机,这样车辆就变成了前单电机+后双电机的配置,同时电机总功率将提升到301马力/665牛米,百公里加速时间会缩短至4.8秒,但是NEDC续航会缩短至460公里。除了这个2万块钱的性能包之外,上汽还给这台车配备了3万块的R PILOT智驾成长包,主要就是一套华为巴龙5G芯片+Mobileye EyeQ4H芯片,然后多出1个前视摄像头和4个周视摄像头、2个毫米波雷达、一套5G智能驾驶功能、遥控移车+一键远程智能召唤、智能变道辅助、领航辅助驾驶。然后官方想着让消费者能一起买,这次还给了个折扣,如果你同时选择2万的四驱性能包和3万的R PILOT智驾成长包,原价5万块钱的东西打完折只收你4.3万。除此之外就是一个2000块钱的选装,名字叫黑武士特别款,主要就是一个专属外观、一套19寸熏黑轮毂、卡钳变成红色、一套黑色行李架。这次MARVEL R在宣传的时候官方主打的是“5G”这个概念,但是从我角度来说,我其实不是很看好,因为在目前现有的行车环境和用车条件之下,5G的噱头远远大于实际使用时的体验,以目前来看唯一的用处就是网速快,而且前提还是得在有5G基站信号覆盖的地方,否则大多数号称的智能化功能也就是个本地功能了。对于这台车的销量,我也是不太看好的,因为MARVEL R实际上就是一台来自2018年的MARVEL X换了一个壳,它的性能表现和2018年的MARVEL X相比没有任何长进,设计层面没有什么进步,空间尺寸没有变化,甚至价格也没有降低太多,而之前MARVEL X在销量层面已经非常失败,没有作出什么积极改变的MARVEL R会凭空获得市场认可吗?首先,我在看完车辆的整体外观内饰之后,发现2021年上市的MARVEL R和2018年上市的MARVEL X在设计层面上相似度极高,整体的外观和内饰的设计大体上是趋同的,只是细节处进行了修改。其次,两台车并且尺寸也几乎一致,Marvel X的车辆数据是4678mm*1919 mm*1618mm,轴距2800mm;Marvel R的车辆数据是4674mm*1919mm *1618mm,轴距2800mm。再者,MARVEL R的NEDC续航里程为505公里,电动机最大功率137千瓦,最大扭矩410牛米,百公里加速时间7.9秒,同时高配车型可以选装价格仅为两万元的性能包,可以让NEDC续航里程减少50公里,换来三电机四驱和222千瓦/650牛米的动力,以及4.8秒的百公里加速时间,而这些关键指标数值和之前的MARVEL X如出一辙,而当你把那两个选装包一起选上之后(别忘了普通版还不让你选),即使算上打包优惠,车价直接也干到了28.28万。总的来说,MARVEL R和MARVEL X的不同之处非常少,只是新增了一套需要额外支付费用才能用上的辅助驾驶系统,调整了车标、前脸、尾灯、前后保险杠的设计样式,更新了车机系统,这是不是也就意味着,你花那么些钱买来的新车车,实际上是一个在2018年发布后由于销量不好,于是厂家重新包装后上市的产品。比亚迪DM-i除了已经发布的上汽MARVEL R之外,在年后最为关键的重头戏,也是呼声最高的产品,当属比亚迪DM-i系统的三台车,分别是秦Plus DM-i、宋Plus DM-i和唐DM-i,并且这三台车其实在1月11日的时候就已经开始了预售。其中,秦Plus DM-i一共推出4款车型,预售价区间为10.78万-14.78万;宋Plus DM-i推出4款车型,预售价区间为15.38万-17.58万;唐DM-i推出3款车型,预售价区间为19.78万-22.48万。关于这次这三台新车的外观和内饰,我觉得符合比亚迪一贯作风,使用了比亚迪当下主打的设计语言,没有什么太多值得去聊的,主要还是这个DM-i超级混动系统。首先,比亚迪DM-i超级混动技术是个啥,很多人还不是很清楚,其实这套系统的本质就是用一台骁云-插混专用发动机(秦Plus、宋Plus DM-i是1.5L发动机,唐DM-i是1.5T发动机),配上一个高效电动机,然后有一套EHS电混系统,并且配备了刀片电池,就这么一套东西拼起来,就是DM-i插电式混合动力系统。应用到实际日常驾驶的场景下,简单来说就是“短途用电,长途用油”,只不过相比之前追求高性能的DM系统,这套DM-i主打的是“低油耗+长续航”,关于这套DM-i混动系统,我们后期会专门来聊。关于比亚迪的DM-i车型,我存在几个疑惑的地方,也是和各位分享一下:第一,由于DM-i的车型取消了12V的铅酸电池,改成了12V的铁锂电池,所以不能通过DM-i车型去给其他车型进行搭电,因为小电池有自己的BMS电池管理系统,在外部搭电的情况下会请求触发保护,电瓶就无法放电,当然铁锂电池通过动力电池来自动补电,这也是为什么比亚迪工程师敢说自己这个电池寿命能和高压电池组基本相当的原因之一。但是,我们都知道车辆冷启动时需要的电流是很大的,现在的确有很多性能车和改装厂,为了轻量化会把铅酸电池换成了锂电池,但在寒冷天气的情况下,能不能打着火是一件很影响体验的事情,换言之比亚迪DM-i这个铁锂电池能不能完美有效的去应对低温天气,这一点要打个问号。另外一点,消费者其实很难在乎不可见的成本,但当这些隐性成本显现出来的时候,是非常难受,且影响体验,铅酸电池在现阶段的优势,主要是大多数车型通用、更换成本低、货源充足、简单易用,如果全面跃进换成锂电池,一旦后期的维护价格超出预期,跳脚骂娘都有可能,如果是这样的话,那比亚迪必须要跟进好服务质量,而这对于比亚迪来说势必会成为一项不小的开支。第二,从2008年的DM1.0系统到2020年末发布的DM-i系统,比亚迪在“542时期”(代表车型:比亚迪秦)和“7-DCT时期”(代表车型:比亚迪唐)拥有足够长的时间进行试错,因为那时候的相关政策让比亚迪一下子拥有了很长的时间窗口,使得比亚迪能够通过市场反馈和大量的车辆实际运行结果,从而进行产品更新和问题修正。但是,以目前的新能源车辆发展速度,PHEV车型的限购、限行是早晚的事情,换言之还有多少时间能试错是个未知数,从政策导向上来看,能给到比亚迪这套DM-i系统多少时间去进行更进一步的调整和修正,答案是不确定的。第三,比亚迪这套DM-i系统全面取消了发动机前端轮系,主要包括发电机皮带轮、水泵皮带轮和助力泵皮带轮,使得整台车的刹车、空调、水泵都变成了电子化控制。如果说传统的发动机就像一个家庭里的大家长,必须要面面俱到,什么都给管着,那么比亚迪则是通过插混技术,将发动机原来需要干的一部分活儿转交给了电池和电机,相当于找了个管家,从而给发动机减负,实现高效率。但是,整套电气轮系的可靠性、耐用度、寿命长短、养护成本等等方面,和传统的发动机轮系比起来究竟如何,这一点也是未知的。总的来说,比亚迪在这套动力系统上,确实做到了领先世界的水平,我甚至可以拍着胸脯去说,比亚迪这套混动系统是世界一流的水平,但是伴随着这种领先技术的,永远都是我们无法预知的不确定因素。现在比亚迪DM-i的车子还没有正式上市,即使是正式上市销售,也需要较长的一段时间来检验,我们现在能做的,就是等车辆正式上市交付,看看比亚迪能不能把这三台车的调教给做好,以及这套DM-i系统能不能经受住市场考验。丰田傲澜/凌尚除了比亚迪DM-i车型之外,还有一个重头戏就是丰田的傲澜和凌尚,只不过傲澜已经确定在3月发布,但是凌尚似乎要等到7月份才能有动静,此外由于之前的名称事件,现在丰田给出的答复就是暂未确定这两台车的中文名,不过根据先前透露出来的信息,傲澜有可能会更名为“亚洲狮”。关于丰田的这两台车,其实我们就可以看做是一个卡罗拉的加长版,仔细一些的朋友会发现,这次凌尚用的英文名还是“LEVIN”,也就是雷凌的英文名,丰田这一次把这两台车都弄的神神秘秘的,也不知道是藏着什么心思。根据目前已知的信息来看,也就是知道搭载了和奕泽、凯美瑞一样的2.0L自然吸气发动机+CVT变速箱,轴距2750mm比卡罗拉多50mm,基本上就是卡罗拉/雷凌相当于iPhone 12,傲澜和凌尚相当于iPhone 12 Pro,凯美瑞就是iPhone 12 Pro Max。其实不难看出,丰田现在是在为这两台车进行铺路的,并且铺路不仅仅是给卡罗拉和雷凌都用上了1.5L三缸机,一汽丰田针对天津技术开发区的发动机工厂进行了改造,计划将提高54万台的TNGA发动机年产能,同时削减10.8万台1.2T发动机年产能,这个改造预计会在2021年3月竣工验收。巧合的是,先前丰田1.2T发动机的年产能,也就是10.8万台这个数字,所以这就相当于丰田已经决定要停产这个1.2T发动机,之后在售的卡罗拉/雷凌只会用1.5L三缸和1.8L混动,而且丰田在2019年的时候就在国内开启了TNGA 1.5L/2.0L混动项目,什么时候搭载1.5L三缸混动也只是时间问题,到时候1.8L混动也是大概率会被砍掉,想要丰田四缸发动机的轿车,那你就得从傲澜或者凌尚看起。根据先前的价格来看,目前傲澜和凌尚这两台车,大概率会定价在15万-20万这个价格区间,说不定之后还会出个1.5L三缸版本拉低入门的门槛,至于具体怎么玩,还是得等正式上市之后才知道。奥迪e-tron此外,年后还有即将国产上市的奥迪e-tron,同期还会上市进口版本的奥迪e-tron Sportback版本。这两台车其实各位都不陌生,已经在去年的北京车展和大家见面了,内外设计和配置和海外版都基本相同,主要区别在于国产的e-tron的输出功率有所下降,海外版是前135千瓦/309牛米+后165千瓦/355牛米的交流异步电机,国产之后则变成了前115千瓦/266牛米+后172千瓦/314牛米,整体动力参数上比之前进口版低了不少,465公里的NEDC续航也比进口版少了5公里,但是电池和之前在售的海外版一样,都是95度电的三元锂电池。所以,经由这次简配和国产之后,国产版的e-tron是不是价格有可能降低,我觉得肯定会降,但是依照奥迪的调性来看,能降多少是个问题。先前进口版的奥迪e-tron定价69.28万-82.86万,通过终端优惠,69.28万的版本成交价在40万-45万之间,最低甚至有过38万的行情,这次国产之后的奥迪e-tron,我估计价格应该不会降的特别多,甚至有可能价格会高于宝马的iX3,毕竟宝马iX3现在经过调价之后,售价直接拉倒了39.99万和43.99万。我估计国产奥迪e-tron的定价有可能和国产奔驰EQC的49.98万-62.28万价格差不多,至于经销商怎么给出进一步的优惠,那就是后话了。但是,不管怎么说,奥迪e-tron和奔驰EQC这两台车都是油改电的产物,相比之下宝马iX3则是在生产X3的时候就已经把生产平台进行了电动化的适配(本质上还是油改电),如果一定要我来选择的话,我还是更倾向于宝马。WEY摩卡与咖啡家族除了上述车辆之外,还有一个值得关注的车型就是WEY摩卡,以及摩卡背后的咖啡家族,毕竟现在除了即将上市的摩卡之外,玛奇朵的申报图也已经出来了,只不过那个是台紧凑级SUV,而摩卡可以看作是VV7的换代车型。但是相比于之前的VV7来看,摩卡4875*1960*1690mm的车身数据比之前VV7大一圈,可是2915mm的轴距却比之前VV7要短一些,同时WEY摩卡的动力系统一共有两套,一套是2.0T+48V+9DCT的配置,还有一套是PHEV混动的配置(纯电续航200公里,三元锂电池)。其实这次很多人的关注点,我感觉有点偏了,有不少人的目光都被吸引到了这次的代言人身上,也就是任正非的小女儿姚安娜,毕竟姚安娜2021年1月14日才刚刚宣布出道,2021年1月15日WEY的代言就官宣了,这效率也是令人称奇。在我看来,2021年应该是WEY品牌要去打硬仗的一年,虽然旗下的坦克300热度非常的高,但是就我目前看下来的情况,关于咖啡家族的热度实在有些平平无奇,可以说远没有当年VV7上市的时候那么轰动。去年,WEY的销量有所下滑,VV6勉强撑起了WEY的门面,但是VV5和VV7已经难阻颓势,之前WEY在自己所宣传的豪华SUV领域里一直缺少重大更新,摩卡的出现主打“智能+混动”,看上去确实是一个新东西,但实际上依旧只是小打小闹,本质上的东西还是没有变革太多,你能看到的更多是WEY在努力堆料。所以,如果不着急的话,不妨等一等,看看WEY的下一步动作是什么样的,毕竟他们还有个柠檬平台,还有DHT插混,还有果冻电池,还有一台等着全面更新的VV7。五菱征途聊完轿车和SUV之后,我们再来说说皮卡,这也是不少朋友在关注的车型。长期以来,大家对于皮卡外观都处于两个比较极端的认知,一个是那种美系全尺寸的超大皮卡,全车上下都充满了荷尔蒙的气息,突出的就是“大”和“硬”;另一种则是生产工具,也不纠结外形和内饰,只要皮实耐用不怎么坏,坏了之后也好修,离地间隙能跑烂路,后面的翻斗装载量足够,价格反正也别太贵就行了。但是,之前无论是哪种皮卡,都没有五菱什么事儿,但是随着五菱征途的发布,似乎就不能忽略掉五菱的江湖地位了。五菱征途的车身尺寸不算大,长宽高分别为5105*1640*1810mm,货箱栏板内尺寸2000/1520/365mm,轴距3160mm,还可以如果你选装宽窄两种脚踏板。动力上则是搭载一颗最大功率99马力的1.5L自然吸气发动机,如果有熟悉面包车的朋友们到这儿应该就明白了,这车其实就是个五菱宏光PLUS的皮卡版,包括生产的平台也是五菱宏光的平台,以目前的信息来看,五菱征途的售价应该是在6万元左右,说到底关键词依然是便宜。但是,五菱似乎是在MINI EV上尝到了甜头,这次推出五菱征途的同时,也像之前的MINI EV那样出了几台改装版车型,一个叫“御寒征途”,一个叫“越境征途”,还有一个叫“激浪征途”,这三台车所对应的场景分别是滑雪、越野露营和钓鱼,其实前两个我都能理解,但是第三个钓鱼……我只能说脑洞太大了。当然,这三台官方改装版的车型和之前MINI EV皮卡一样,大概率不会量产,也就是给你看看这车能怎么玩,主要还是起到一个噱头的作用,吸引非商用人群来选择购买。这台车能不能作为一台家用车,也是不少人关注的地方,从我自己的角度来看,这台车作为家用车还是差点意思。虽然说中控屏幕、倒车影像、倒车雷达、手机互联、多功能方向盘等等配置都有,不过大概率是高配甚至顶配才有。而且这台车虽然前排座椅能放平,但是后排座椅的角度非常的直,以至于近乎90度,基本上也就前排坐的舒服点,后面短途坐坐人还行,但是长途绝对会让你的腰受不了。所以,如果想买这台车回来家用的朋友,我觉得还是算了吧,这台车主打的还是商用市场。但是,问题又来了,拖货的又有多少人愿意去选择这台车呢?首先,原配175/75 R14的圈胎,基本上也只够城市道路来使用。其次,很多地方的主城区对皮卡有限制,买这个五菱征途作为生产工具,还不如去买货用面包车,价格还比这车便宜。再者,皮卡在目前的政策下,是有15年/60万公里的强制报废规定的。所以,五菱征途这一次让到底想怎么玩,我是有些没看懂,甚至可以说皮卡车“能拉会跑”的优点在这台车上并不明显,而皮卡“限行”的缺点还难以解决,只能说噱头确实是做到了,但是这台车肯定无法像MINI EV那样大火。写在最后当然,年后即将上市的新车不止这几款,比如长安的UNI-K、五菱宏光侠、新款本田思域等等,这些都将在年后的汽车市场中掀起浪花。至于能掀起多大的浪,归根结底还是取决于自己的实力,以及我们之前反复提及的那两个字——诚意。音频图文更新在订阅号:

※ 本文章发布于订阅号:百车全说,订阅号阅读更加方便,欢迎关注随着新年的鞭炮声,在这里先给各位拜个晚年,祝大家新的一年里身体健康、万事如意、工作顺利、和和美美。新一年的到来,很多厂家也是即将发布自己的新车型,所以今天就和各位一起来梳理一下,看看有哪些车型是值得关注的。荣威MARVEL R首先是上汽的MRAVEL R,这个车子其实一直都给我有点“犹抱琵琶半遮面”的感觉。首先是在2020年4月,上汽发布了新款的“R标”,并且特地指明这个LOGO是主要面向荣威的中高端新能源车,后来上汽也是为这个R标进行了各种路演、快闪等等宣传活动,最后终于千呼万唤始出来,2020年2月7日上汽MARVEL R正式上市,在我看完实车之后,我说实话就两个字:失望。这次的MARVEL R一共有两个车型,定价分别为21.98万和23.98万,NEDC综合续航都是505公里,配备69.9度的三元锂电池包,快充到80%需要半个小时,慢充需要12个小时,三电系统是上汽自己做的。其中,普通版车型是双电机后驱,最大功率186马力/410牛米,百公里加速7.9秒;PRO版车型的后驱版性能和普通版一致,相比之下主要是多出了一套主被动安全装备、全速自适应巡航(普通版是定速巡航)、多一套前雷达(普通版只有后雷达)、自动泊车入位、感应后备箱、主动闭合式进气格栅(这个我有点没看懂,一个电动车要主动闭合式进气格栅有什么用)、座椅材质变成了皮+ALCANTARA、前排座椅多出通风功能(普通版只有加热)、多出了手势控制、面部识别、9喇叭BOSE音响(普通版是8喇叭普通音响)、自适应远近光灯、64色氛围灯、AR实景驾驶辅助系统。如果你在PRO版车型的基础上,再花2万块钱选装四驱性能包,那你将得到一套前轮电机,这样车辆就变成了前单电机+后双电机的配置,同时电机总功率将提升到301马力/665牛米,百公里加速时间会缩短至4.8秒,但是NEDC续航会缩短至460公里。除了这个2万块钱的性能包之外,上汽还给这台车配备了3万块的R PILOT智驾成长包,主要就是一套华为巴龙5G芯片+Mobileye EyeQ4H芯片,然后多出1个前视摄像头和4个周视摄像头、2个毫米波雷达、一套5G智能驾驶功能、遥控移车+一键远程智能召唤、智能变道辅助、领航辅助驾驶。然后官方想着让消费者能一起买,这次还给了个折扣,如果你同时选择2万的四驱性能包和3万的R PILOT智驾成长包,原价5万块钱的东西打完折只收你4.3万。除此之外就是一个2000块钱的选装,名字叫黑武士特别款,主要就是一个专属外观、一套19寸熏黑轮毂、卡钳变成红色、一套黑色行李架。这次MARVEL R在宣传的时候官方主打的是“5G”这个概念,但是从我角度来说,我其实不是很看好,因为在目前现有的行车环境和用车条件之下,5G的噱头远远大于实际使用时的体验,以目前来看唯一的用处就是网速快,而且前提还是得在有5G基站信号覆盖的地方,否则大多数号称的智能化功能也就是个本地功能了。对于这台车的销量,我也是不太看好的,因为MARVEL R实际上就是一台来自2018年的MARVEL X换了一个壳,它的性能表现和2018年的MARVEL X相比没有任何长进,设计层面没有什么进步,空间尺寸没有变化,甚至价格也没有降低太多,而之前MARVEL X在销量层面已经非常失败,没有作出什么积极改变的MARVEL R会凭空获得市场认可吗?首先,我在看完车辆的整体外观内饰之后,发现2021年上市的MARVEL R和2018年上市的MARVEL X在设计层面上相似度极高,整体的外观和内饰的设计大体上是趋同的,只是细节处进行了修改。其次,两台车并且尺寸也几乎一致,Marvel X的车辆数据是4678mm*1919 mm*1618mm,轴距2800mm;Marvel R的车辆数据是4674mm*1919mm *1618mm,轴距2800mm。再者,MARVEL R的NEDC续航里程为505公里,电动机最大功率137千瓦,最大扭矩410牛米,百公里加速时间7.9秒,同时高配车型可以选装价格仅为两万元的性能包,可以让NEDC续航里程减少50公里,换来三电机四驱和222千瓦/650牛米的动力,以及4.8秒的百公里加速时间,而这些关键指标数值和之前的MARVEL X如出一辙,而当你把那两个选装包一起选上之后(别忘了普通版还不让你选),即使算上打包优惠,车价直接也干到了28.28万。总的来说,MARVEL R和MARVEL X的不同之处非常少,只是新增了一套需要额外支付费用才能用上的辅助驾驶系统,调整了车标、前脸、尾灯、前后保险杠的设计样式,更新了车机系统,这是不是也就意味着,你花那么些钱买来的新车车,实际上是一个在2018年发布后由于销量不好,于是厂家重新包装后上市的产品。比亚迪DM-i除了已经发布的上汽MARVEL R之外,在年后最为关键的重头戏,也是呼声最高的产品,当属比亚迪DM-i系统的三台车,分别是秦Plus DM-i、宋Plus DM-i和唐DM-i,并且这三台车其实在1月11日的时候就已经开始了预售。其中,秦Plus DM-i一共推出4款车型,预售价区间为10.78万-14.78万;宋Plus DM-i推出4款车型,预售价区间为15.38万-17.58万;唐DM-i推出3款车型,预售价区间为19.78万-22.48万。关于这次这三台新车的外观和内饰,我觉得符合比亚迪一贯作风,使用了比亚迪当下主打的设计语言,没有什么太多值得去聊的,主要还是这个DM-i超级混动系统。首先,比亚迪DM-i超级混动技术是个啥,很多人还不是很清楚,其实这套系统的本质就是用一台骁云-插混专用发动机(秦Plus、宋Plus DM-i是1.5L发动机,唐DM-i是1.5T发动机),配上一个高效电动机,然后有一套EHS电混系统,并且配备了刀片电池,就这么一套东西拼起来,就是DM-i插电式混合动力系统。应用到实际日常驾驶的场景下,简单来说就是“短途用电,长途用油”,只不过相比之前追求高性能的DM系统,这套DM-i主打的是“低油耗+长续航”,关于这套DM-i混动系统,我们后期会专门来聊。关于比亚迪的DM-i车型,我存在几个疑惑的地方,也是和各位分享一下:第一,由于DM-i的车型取消了12V的铅酸电池,改成了12V的铁锂电池,所以不能通过DM-i车型去给其他车型进行搭电,因为小电池有自己的BMS电池管理系统,在外部搭电的情况下会请求触发保护,电瓶就无法放电,当然铁锂电池通过动力电池来自动补电,这也是为什么比亚迪工程师敢说自己这个电池寿命能和高压电池组基本相当的原因之一。但是,我们都知道车辆冷启动时需要的电流是很大的,现在的确有很多性能车和改装厂,为了轻量化会把铅酸电池换成了锂电池,但在寒冷天气的情况下,能不能打着火是一件很影响体验的事情,换言之比亚迪DM-i这个铁锂电池能不能完美有效的去应对低温天气,这一点要打个问号。另外一点,消费者其实很难在乎不可见的成本,但当这些隐性成本显现出来的时候,是非常难受,且影响体验,铅酸电池在现阶段的优势,主要是大多数车型通用、更换成本低、货源充足、简单易用,如果全面跃进换成锂电池,一旦后期的维护价格超出预期,跳脚骂娘都有可能,如果是这样的话,那比亚迪必须要跟进好服务质量,而这对于比亚迪来说势必会成为一项不小的开支。第二,从2008年的DM1.0系统到2020年末发布的DM-i系统,比亚迪在“542时期”(代表车型:比亚迪秦)和“7-DCT时期”(代表车型:比亚迪唐)拥有足够长的时间进行试错,因为那时候的相关政策让比亚迪一下子拥有了很长的时间窗口,使得比亚迪能够通过市场反馈和大量的车辆实际运行结果,从而进行产品更新和问题修正。但是,以目前的新能源车辆发展速度,PHEV车型的限购、限行是早晚的事情,换言之还有多少时间能试错是个未知数,从政策导向上来看,能给到比亚迪这套DM-i系统多少时间去进行更进一步的调整和修正,答案是不确定的。第三,比亚迪这套DM-i系统全面取消了发动机前端轮系,主要包括发电机皮带轮、水泵皮带轮和助力泵皮带轮,使得整台车的刹车、空调、水泵都变成了电子化控制。如果说传统的发动机就像一个家庭里的大家长,必须要面面俱到,什么都给管着,那么比亚迪则是通过插混技术,将发动机原来需要干的一部分活儿转交给了电池和电机,相当于找了个管家,从而给发动机减负,实现高效率。但是,整套电气轮系的可靠性、耐用度、寿命长短、养护成本等等方面,和传统的发动机轮系比起来究竟如何,这一点也是未知的。总的来说,比亚迪在这套动力系统上,确实做到了领先世界的水平,我甚至可以拍着胸脯去说,比亚迪这套混动系统是世界一流的水平,但是伴随着这种领先技术的,永远都是我们无法预知的不确定因素。现在比亚迪DM-i的车子还没有正式上市,即使是正式上市销售,也需要较长的一段时间来检验,我们现在能做的,就是等车辆正式上市交付,看看比亚迪能不能把这三台车的调教给做好,以及这套DM-i系统能不能经受住市场考验。丰田傲澜/凌尚除了比亚迪DM-i车型之外,还有一个重头戏就是丰田的傲澜和凌尚,只不过傲澜已经确定在3月发布,但是凌尚似乎要等到7月份才能有动静,此外由于之前的名称事件,现在丰田给出的答复就是暂未确定这两台车的中文名,不过根据先前透露出来的信息,傲澜有可能会更名为“亚洲狮”。关于丰田的这两台车,其实我们就可以看做是一个卡罗拉的加长版,仔细一些的朋友会发现,这次凌尚用的英文名还是“LEVIN”,也就是雷凌的英文名,丰田这一次把这两台车都弄的神神秘秘的,也不知道是藏着什么心思。根据目前已知的信息来看,也就是知道搭载了和奕泽、凯美瑞一样的2.0L自然吸气发动机+CVT变速箱,轴距2750mm比卡罗拉多50mm,基本上就是卡罗拉/雷凌相当于iPhone 12,傲澜和凌尚相当于iPhone 12 Pro,凯美瑞就是iPhone 12 Pro Max。其实不难看出,丰田现在是在为这两台车进行铺路的,并且铺路不仅仅是给卡罗拉和雷凌都用上了1.5L三缸机,一汽丰田针对天津技术开发区的发动机工厂进行了改造,计划将提高54万台的TNGA发动机年产能,同时削减10.8万台1.2T发动机年产能,这个改造预计会在2021年3月竣工验收。巧合的是,先前丰田1.2T发动机的年产能,也就是10.8万台这个数字,所以这就相当于丰田已经决定要停产这个1.2T发动机,之后在售的卡罗拉/雷凌只会用1.5L三缸和1.8L混动,而且丰田在2019年的时候就在国内开启了TNGA 1.5L/2.0L混动项目,什么时候搭载1.5L三缸混动也只是时间问题,到时候1.8L混动也是大概率会被砍掉,想要丰田四缸发动机的轿车,那你就得从傲澜或者凌尚看起。根据先前的价格来看,目前傲澜和凌尚这两台车,大概率会定价在15万-20万这个价格区间,说不定之后还会出个1.5L三缸版本拉低入门的门槛,至于具体怎么玩,还是得等正式上市之后才知道。奥迪e-tron此外,年后还有即将国产上市的奥迪e-tron,同期还会上市进口版本的奥迪e-tron Sportback版本。这两台车其实各位都不陌生,已经在去年的北京车展和大家见面了,内外设计和配置和海外版都基本相同,主要区别在于国产的e-tron的输出功率有所下降,海外版是前135千瓦/309牛米+后165千瓦/355牛米的交流异步电机,国产之后则变成了前115千瓦/266牛米+后172千瓦/314牛米,整体动力参数上比之前进口版低了不少,465公里的NEDC续航也比进口版少了5公里,但是电池和之前在售的海外版一样,都是95度电的三元锂电池。所以,经由这次简配和国产之后,国产版的e-tron是不是价格有可能降低,我觉得肯定会降,但是依照奥迪的调性来看,能降多少是个问题。先前进口版的奥迪e-tron定价69.28万-82.86万,通过终端优惠,69.28万的版本成交价在40万-45万之间,最低甚至有过38万的行情,这次国产之后的奥迪e-tron,我估计价格应该不会降的特别多,甚至有可能价格会高于宝马的iX3,毕竟宝马iX3现在经过调价之后,售价直接拉倒了39.99万和43.99万。我估计国产奥迪e-tron的定价有可能和国产奔驰EQC的49.98万-62.28万价格差不多,至于经销商怎么给出进一步的优惠,那就是后话了。但是,不管怎么说,奥迪e-tron和奔驰EQC这两台车都是油改电的产物,相比之下宝马iX3则是在生产X3的时候就已经把生产平台进行了电动化的适配(本质上还是油改电),如果一定要我来选择的话,我还是更倾向于宝马。WEY摩卡与咖啡家族除了上述车辆之外,还有一个值得关注的车型就是WEY摩卡,以及摩卡背后的咖啡家族,毕竟现在除了即将上市的摩卡之外,玛奇朵的申报图也已经出来了,只不过那个是台紧凑级SUV,而摩卡可以看作是VV7的换代车型。但是相比于之前的VV7来看,摩卡4875*1960*1690mm的车身数据比之前VV7大一圈,可是2915mm的轴距却比之前VV7要短一些,同时WEY摩卡的动力系统一共有两套,一套是2.0T+48V+9DCT的配置,还有一套是PHEV混动的配置(纯电续航200公里,三元锂电池)。其实这次很多人的关注点,我感觉有点偏了,有不少人的目光都被吸引到了这次的代言人身上,也就是任正非的小女儿姚安娜,毕竟姚安娜2021年1月14日才刚刚宣布出道,2021年1月15日WEY的代言就官宣了,这效率也是令人称奇。在我看来,2021年应该是WEY品牌要去打硬仗的一年,虽然旗下的坦克300热度非常的高,但是就我目前看下来的情况,关于咖啡家族的热度实在有些平平无奇,可以说远没有当年VV7上市的时候那么轰动。去年,WEY的销量有所下滑,VV6勉强撑起了WEY的门面,但是VV5和VV7已经难阻颓势,之前WEY在自己所宣传的豪华SUV领域里一直缺少重大更新,摩卡的出现主打“智能+混动”,看上去确实是一个新东西,但实际上依旧只是小打小闹,本质上的东西还是没有变革太多,你能看到的更多是WEY在努力堆料。所以,如果不着急的话,不妨等一等,看看WEY的下一步动作是什么样的,毕竟他们还有个柠檬平台,还有DHT插混,还有果冻电池,还有一台等着全面更新的VV7。五菱征途聊完轿车和SUV之后,我们再来说说皮卡,这也是不少朋友在关注的车型。长期以来,大家对于皮卡外观都处于两个比较极端的认知,一个是那种美系全尺寸的超大皮卡,全车上下都充满了荷尔蒙的气息,突出的就是“大”和“硬”;另一种则是生产工具,也不纠结外形和内饰,只要皮实耐用不怎么坏,坏了之后也好修,离地间隙能跑烂路,后面的翻斗装载量足够,价格反正也别太贵就行了。但是,之前无论是哪种皮卡,都没有五菱什么事儿,但是随着五菱征途的发布,似乎就不能忽略掉五菱的江湖地位了。五菱征途的车身尺寸不算大,长宽高分别为5105*1640*1810mm,货箱栏板内尺寸2000/1520/365mm,轴距3160mm,还可以如果你选装宽窄两种脚踏板。动力上则是搭载一颗最大功率99马力的1.5L自然吸气发动机,如果有熟悉面包车的朋友们到这儿应该就明白了,这车其实就是个五菱宏光PLUS的皮卡版,包括生产的平台也是五菱宏光的平台,以目前的信息来看,五菱征途的售价应该是在6万元左右,说到底关键词依然是便宜。但是,五菱似乎是在MINI EV上尝到了甜头,这次推出五菱征途的同时,也像之前的MINI EV那样出了几台改装版车型,一个叫“御寒征途”,一个叫“越境征途”,还有一个叫“激浪征途”,这三台车所对应的场景分别是滑雪、越野露营和钓鱼,其实前两个我都能理解,但是第三个钓鱼……我只能说脑洞太大了。当然,这三台官方改装版的车型和之前MINI EV皮卡一样,大概率不会量产,也就是给你看看这车能怎么玩,主要还是起到一个噱头的作用,吸引非商用人群来选择购买。这台车能不能作为一台家用车,也是不少人关注的地方,从我自己的角度来看,这台车作为家用车还是差点意思。虽然说中控屏幕、倒车影像、倒车雷达、手机互联、多功能方向盘等等配置都有,不过大概率是高配甚至顶配才有。而且这台车虽然前排座椅能放平,但是后排座椅的角度非常的直,以至于近乎90度,基本上也就前排坐的舒服点,后面短途坐坐人还行,但是长途绝对会让你的腰受不了。所以,如果想买这台车回来家用的朋友,我觉得还是算了吧,这台车主打的还是商用市场。但是,问题又来了,拖货的又有多少人愿意去选择这台车呢?首先,原配175/75 R14的圈胎,基本上也只够城市道路来使用。其次,很多地方的主城区对皮卡有限制,买这个五菱征途作为生产工具,还不如去买货用面包车,价格还比这车便宜。再者,皮卡在目前的政策下,是有15年/60万公里的强制报废规定的。所以,五菱征途这一次让到底想怎么玩,我是有些没看懂,甚至可以说皮卡车“能拉会跑”的优点在这台车上并不明显,而皮卡“限行”的缺点还难以解决,只能说噱头确实是做到了,但是这台车肯定无法像MINI EV那样大火。写在最后当然,年后即将上市的新车不止这几款,比如长安的UNI-K、五菱宏光侠、新款本田思域等等,这些都将在年后的汽车市场中掀起浪花。至于能掀起多大的浪,归根结底还是取决于自己的实力,以及我们之前反复提及的那两个字——诚意。音频图文更新在订阅号:

※ 本文章发布于订阅号:百车全说,订阅号阅读更加方便,欢迎关注随着新年的鞭炮声,在这里先给各位拜个晚年,祝大家新的一年里身体健康、万事如意、工作顺利、和和美美。新一年的到来,很多厂家也是即将发布自己的新车型,所以今天就和各位一起来梳理一下,看看有哪些车型是值得关注的。荣威MARVEL R首先是上汽的MRAVEL R,这个车子其实一直都给我有点“犹抱琵琶半遮面”的感觉。首先是在2020年4月,上汽发布了新款的“R标”,并且特地指明这个LOGO是主要面向荣威的中高端新能源车,后来上汽也是为这个R标进行了各种路演、快闪等等宣传活动,最后终于千呼万唤始出来,2020年2月7日上汽MARVEL R正式上市,在我看完实车之后,我说实话就两个字:失望。这次的MARVEL R一共有两个车型,定价分别为21.98万和23.98万,NEDC综合续航都是505公里,配备69.9度的三元锂电池包,快充到80%需要半个小时,慢充需要12个小时,三电系统是上汽自己做的。其中,普通版车型是双电机后驱,最大功率186马力/410牛米,百公里加速7.9秒;PRO版车型的后驱版性能和普通版一致,相比之下主要是多出了一套主被动安全装备、全速自适应巡航(普通版是定速巡航)、多一套前雷达(普通版只有后雷达)、自动泊车入位、感应后备箱、主动闭合式进气格栅(这个我有点没看懂,一个电动车要主动闭合式进气格栅有什么用)、座椅材质变成了皮+ALCANTARA、前排座椅多出通风功能(普通版只有加热)、多出了手势控制、面部识别、9喇叭BOSE音响(普通版是8喇叭普通音响)、自适应远近光灯、64色氛围灯、AR实景驾驶辅助系统。如果你在PRO版车型的基础上,再花2万块钱选装四驱性能包,那你将得到一套前轮电机,这样车辆就变成了前单电机+后双电机的配置,同时电机总功率将提升到301马力/665牛米,百公里加速时间会缩短至4.8秒,但是NEDC续航会缩短至460公里。除了这个2万块钱的性能包之外,上汽还给这台车配备了3万块的R PILOT智驾成长包,主要就是一套华为巴龙5G芯片+Mobileye EyeQ4H芯片,然后多出1个前视摄像头和4个周视摄像头、2个毫米波雷达、一套5G智能驾驶功能、遥控移车+一键远程智能召唤、智能变道辅助、领航辅助驾驶。然后官方想着让消费者能一起买,这次还给了个折扣,如果你同时选择2万的四驱性能包和3万的R PILOT智驾成长包,原价5万块钱的东西打完折只收你4.3万。除此之外就是一个2000块钱的选装,名字叫黑武士特别款,主要就是一个专属外观、一套19寸熏黑轮毂、卡钳变成红色、一套黑色行李架。这次MARVEL R在宣传的时候官方主打的是“5G”这个概念,但是从我角度来说,我其实不是很看好,因为在目前现有的行车环境和用车条件之下,5G的噱头远远大于实际使用时的体验,以目前来看唯一的用处就是网速快,而且前提还是得在有5G基站信号覆盖的地方,否则大多数号称的智能化功能也就是个本地功能了。对于这台车的销量,我也是不太看好的,因为MARVEL R实际上就是一台来自2018年的MARVEL X换了一个壳,它的性能表现和2018年的MARVEL X相比没有任何长进,设计层面没有什么进步,空间尺寸没有变化,甚至价格也没有降低太多,而之前MARVEL X在销量层面已经非常失败,没有作出什么积极改变的MARVEL R会凭空获得市场认可吗?首先,我在看完车辆的整体外观内饰之后,发现2021年上市的MARVEL R和2018年上市的MARVEL X在设计层面上相似度极高,整体的外观和内饰的设计大体上是趋同的,只是细节处进行了修改。其次,两台车并且尺寸也几乎一致,Marvel X的车辆数据是4678mm*1919 mm*1618mm,轴距2800mm;Marvel R的车辆数据是4674mm*1919mm *1618mm,轴距2800mm。再者,MARVEL R的NEDC续航里程为505公里,电动机最大功率137千瓦,最大扭矩410牛米,百公里加速时间7.9秒,同时高配车型可以选装价格仅为两万元的性能包,可以让NEDC续航里程减少50公里,换来三电机四驱和222千瓦/650牛米的动力,以及4.8秒的百公里加速时间,而这些关键指标数值和之前的MARVEL X如出一辙,而当你把那两个选装包一起选上之后(别忘了普通版还不让你选),即使算上打包优惠,车价直接也干到了28.28万。总的来说,MARVEL R和MARVEL X的不同之处非常少,只是新增了一套需要额外支付费用才能用上的辅助驾驶系统,调整了车标、前脸、尾灯、前后保险杠的设计样式,更新了车机系统,这是不是也就意味着,你花那么些钱买来的新车车,实际上是一个在2018年发布后由于销量不好,于是厂家重新包装后上市的产品。比亚迪DM-i除了已经发布的上汽MARVEL R之外,在年后最为关键的重头戏,也是呼声最高的产品,当属比亚迪DM-i系统的三台车,分别是秦Plus DM-i、宋Plus DM-i和唐DM-i,并且这三台车其实在1月11日的时候就已经开始了预售。其中,秦Plus DM-i一共推出4款车型,预售价区间为10.78万-14.78万;宋Plus DM-i推出4款车型,预售价区间为15.38万-17.58万;唐DM-i推出3款车型,预售价区间为19.78万-22.48万。关于这次这三台新车的外观和内饰,我觉得符合比亚迪一贯作风,使用了比亚迪当下主打的设计语言,没有什么太多值得去聊的,主要还是这个DM-i超级混动系统。首先,比亚迪DM-i超级混动技术是个啥,很多人还不是很清楚,其实这套系统的本质就是用一台骁云-插混专用发动机(秦Plus、宋Plus DM-i是1.5L发动机,唐DM-i是1.5T发动机),配上一个高效电动机,然后有一套EHS电混系统,并且配备了刀片电池,就这么一套东西拼起来,就是DM-i插电式混合动力系统。应用到实际日常驾驶的场景下,简单来说就是“短途用电,长途用油”,只不过相比之前追求高性能的DM系统,这套DM-i主打的是“低油耗+长续航”,关于这套DM-i混动系统,我们后期会专门来聊。关于比亚迪的DM-i车型,我存在几个疑惑的地方,也是和各位分享一下:第一,由于DM-i的车型取消了12V的铅酸电池,改成了12V的铁锂电池,所以不能通过DM-i车型去给其他车型进行搭电,因为小电池有自己的BMS电池管理系统,在外部搭电的情况下会请求触发保护,电瓶就无法放电,当然铁锂电池通过动力电池来自动补电,这也是为什么比亚迪工程师敢说自己这个电池寿命能和高压电池组基本相当的原因之一。但是,我们都知道车辆冷启动时需要的电流是很大的,现在的确有很多性能车和改装厂,为了轻量化会把铅酸电池换成了锂电池,但在寒冷天气的情况下,能不能打着火是一件很影响体验的事情,换言之比亚迪DM-i这个铁锂电池能不能完美有效的去应对低温天气,这一点要打个问号。另外一点,消费者其实很难在乎不可见的成本,但当这些隐性成本显现出来的时候,是非常难受,且影响体验,铅酸电池在现阶段的优势,主要是大多数车型通用、更换成本低、货源充足、简单易用,如果全面跃进换成锂电池,一旦后期的维护价格超出预期,跳脚骂娘都有可能,如果是这样的话,那比亚迪必须要跟进好服务质量,而这对于比亚迪来说势必会成为一项不小的开支。第二,从2008年的DM1.0系统到2020年末发布的DM-i系统,比亚迪在“542时期”(代表车型:比亚迪秦)和“7-DCT时期”(代表车型:比亚迪唐)拥有足够长的时间进行试错,因为那时候的相关政策让比亚迪一下子拥有了很长的时间窗口,使得比亚迪能够通过市场反馈和大量的车辆实际运行结果,从而进行产品更新和问题修正。但是,以目前的新能源车辆发展速度,PHEV车型的限购、限行是早晚的事情,换言之还有多少时间能试错是个未知数,从政策导向上来看,能给到比亚迪这套DM-i系统多少时间去进行更进一步的调整和修正,答案是不确定的。第三,比亚迪这套DM-i系统全面取消了发动机前端轮系,主要包括发电机皮带轮、水泵皮带轮和助力泵皮带轮,使得整台车的刹车、空调、水泵都变成了电子化控制。如果说传统的发动机就像一个家庭里的大家长,必须要面面俱到,什么都给管着,那么比亚迪则是通过插混技术,将发动机原来需要干的一部分活儿转交给了电池和电机,相当于找了个管家,从而给发动机减负,实现高效率。但是,整套电气轮系的可靠性、耐用度、寿命长短、养护成本等等方面,和传统的发动机轮系比起来究竟如何,这一点也是未知的。总的来说,比亚迪在这套动力系统上,确实做到了领先世界的水平,我甚至可以拍着胸脯去说,比亚迪这套混动系统是世界一流的水平,但是伴随着这种领先技术的,永远都是我们无法预知的不确定因素。现在比亚迪DM-i的车子还没有正式上市,即使是正式上市销售,也需要较长的一段时间来检验,我们现在能做的,就是等车辆正式上市交付,看看比亚迪能不能把这三台车的调教给做好,以及这套DM-i系统能不能经受住市场考验。丰田傲澜/凌尚除了比亚迪DM-i车型之外,还有一个重头戏就是丰田的傲澜和凌尚,只不过傲澜已经确定在3月发布,但是凌尚似乎要等到7月份才能有动静,此外由于之前的名称事件,现在丰田给出的答复就是暂未确定这两台车的中文名,不过根据先前透露出来的信息,傲澜有可能会更名为“亚洲狮”。关于丰田的这两台车,其实我们就可以看做是一个卡罗拉的加长版,仔细一些的朋友会发现,这次凌尚用的英文名还是“LEVIN”,也就是雷凌的英文名,丰田这一次把这两台车都弄的神神秘秘的,也不知道是藏着什么心思。根据目前已知的信息来看,也就是知道搭载了和奕泽、凯美瑞一样的2.0L自然吸气发动机+CVT变速箱,轴距2750mm比卡罗拉多50mm,基本上就是卡罗拉/雷凌相当于iPhone 12,傲澜和凌尚相当于iPhone 12 Pro,凯美瑞就是iPhone 12 Pro Max。其实不难看出,丰田现在是在为这两台车进行铺路的,并且铺路不仅仅是给卡罗拉和雷凌都用上了1.5L三缸机,一汽丰田针对天津技术开发区的发动机工厂进行了改造,计划将提高54万台的TNGA发动机年产能,同时削减10.8万台1.2T发动机年产能,这个改造预计会在2021年3月竣工验收。巧合的是,先前丰田1.2T发动机的年产能,也就是10.8万台这个数字,所以这就相当于丰田已经决定要停产这个1.2T发动机,之后在售的卡罗拉/雷凌只会用1.5L三缸和1.8L混动,而且丰田在2019年的时候就在国内开启了TNGA 1.5L/2.0L混动项目,什么时候搭载1.5L三缸混动也只是时间问题,到时候1.8L混动也是大概率会被砍掉,想要丰田四缸发动机的轿车,那你就得从傲澜或者凌尚看起。根据先前的价格来看,目前傲澜和凌尚这两台车,大概率会定价在15万-20万这个价格区间,说不定之后还会出个1.5L三缸版本拉低入门的门槛,至于具体怎么玩,还是得等正式上市之后才知道。奥迪e-tron此外,年后还有即将国产上市的奥迪e-tron,同期还会上市进口版本的奥迪e-tron Sportback版本。这两台车其实各位都不陌生,已经在去年的北京车展和大家见面了,内外设计和配置和海外版都基本相同,主要区别在于国产的e-tron的输出功率有所下降,海外版是前135千瓦/309牛米+后165千瓦/355牛米的交流异步电机,国产之后则变成了前115千瓦/266牛米+后172千瓦/314牛米,整体动力参数上比之前进口版低了不少,465公里的NEDC续航也比进口版少了5公里,但是电池和之前在售的海外版一样,都是95度电的三元锂电池。所以,经由这次简配和国产之后,国产版的e-tron是不是价格有可能降低,我觉得肯定会降,但是依照奥迪的调性来看,能降多少是个问题。先前进口版的奥迪e-tron定价69.28万-82.86万,通过终端优惠,69.28万的版本成交价在40万-45万之间,最低甚至有过38万的行情,这次国产之后的奥迪e-tron,我估计价格应该不会降的特别多,甚至有可能价格会高于宝马的iX3,毕竟宝马iX3现在经过调价之后,售价直接拉倒了39.99万和43.99万。我估计国产奥迪e-tron的定价有可能和国产奔驰EQC的49.98万-62.28万价格差不多,至于经销商怎么给出进一步的优惠,那就是后话了。但是,不管怎么说,奥迪e-tron和奔驰EQC这两台车都是油改电的产物,相比之下宝马iX3则是在生产X3的时候就已经把生产平台进行了电动化的适配(本质上还是油改电),如果一定要我来选择的话,我还是更倾向于宝马。WEY摩卡与咖啡家族除了上述车辆之外,还有一个值得关注的车型就是WEY摩卡,以及摩卡背后的咖啡家族,毕竟现在除了即将上市的摩卡之外,玛奇朵的申报图也已经出来了,只不过那个是台紧凑级SUV,而摩卡可以看作是VV7的换代车型。但是相比于之前的VV7来看,摩卡4875*1960*1690mm的车身数据比之前VV7大一圈,可是2915mm的轴距却比之前VV7要短一些,同时WEY摩卡的动力系统一共有两套,一套是2.0T+48V+9DCT的配置,还有一套是PHEV混动的配置(纯电续航200公里,三元锂电池)。其实这次很多人的关注点,我感觉有点偏了,有不少人的目光都被吸引到了这次的代言人身上,也就是任正非的小女儿姚安娜,毕竟姚安娜2021年1月14日才刚刚宣布出道,2021年1月15日WEY的代言就官宣了,这效率也是令人称奇。在我看来,2021年应该是WEY品牌要去打硬仗的一年,虽然旗下的坦克300热度非常的高,但是就我目前看下来的情况,关于咖啡家族的热度实在有些平平无奇,可以说远没有当年VV7上市的时候那么轰动。去年,WEY的销量有所下滑,VV6勉强撑起了WEY的门面,但是VV5和VV7已经难阻颓势,之前WEY在自己所宣传的豪华SUV领域里一直缺少重大更新,摩卡的出现主打“智能+混动”,看上去确实是一个新东西,但实际上依旧只是小打小闹,本质上的东西还是没有变革太多,你能看到的更多是WEY在努力堆料。所以,如果不着急的话,不妨等一等,看看WEY的下一步动作是什么样的,毕竟他们还有个柠檬平台,还有DHT插混,还有果冻电池,还有一台等着全面更新的VV7。五菱征途聊完轿车和SUV之后,我们再来说说皮卡,这也是不少朋友在关注的车型。长期以来,大家对于皮卡外观都处于两个比较极端的认知,一个是那种美系全尺寸的超大皮卡,全车上下都充满了荷尔蒙的气息,突出的就是“大”和“硬”;另一种则是生产工具,也不纠结外形和内饰,只要皮实耐用不怎么坏,坏了之后也好修,离地间隙能跑烂路,后面的翻斗装载量足够,价格反正也别太贵就行了。但是,之前无论是哪种皮卡,都没有五菱什么事儿,但是随着五菱征途的发布,似乎就不能忽略掉五菱的江湖地位了。五菱征途的车身尺寸不算大,长宽高分别为5105*1640*1810mm,货箱栏板内尺寸2000/1520/365mm,轴距3160mm,还可以如果你选装宽窄两种脚踏板。动力上则是搭载一颗最大功率99马力的1.5L自然吸气发动机,如果有熟悉面包车的朋友们到这儿应该就明白了,这车其实就是个五菱宏光PLUS的皮卡版,包括生产的平台也是五菱宏光的平台,以目前的信息来看,五菱征途的售价应该是在6万元左右,说到底关键词依然是便宜。但是,五菱似乎是在MINI EV上尝到了甜头,这次推出五菱征途的同时,也像之前的MINI EV那样出了几台改装版车型,一个叫“御寒征途”,一个叫“越境征途”,还有一个叫“激浪征途”,这三台车所对应的场景分别是滑雪、越野露营和钓鱼,其实前两个我都能理解,但是第三个钓鱼……我只能说脑洞太大了。当然,这三台官方改装版的车型和之前MINI EV皮卡一样,大概率不会量产,也就是给你看看这车能怎么玩,主要还是起到一个噱头的作用,吸引非商用人群来选择购买。这台车能不能作为一台家用车,也是不少人关注的地方,从我自己的角度来看,这台车作为家用车还是差点意思。虽然说中控屏幕、倒车影像、倒车雷达、手机互联、多功能方向盘等等配置都有,不过大概率是高配甚至顶配才有。而且这台车虽然前排座椅能放平,但是后排座椅的角度非常的直,以至于近乎90度,基本上也就前排坐的舒服点,后面短途坐坐人还行,但是长途绝对会让你的腰受不了。所以,如果想买这台车回来家用的朋友,我觉得还是算了吧,这台车主打的还是商用市场。但是,问题又来了,拖货的又有多少人愿意去选择这台车呢?首先,原配175/75 R14的圈胎,基本上也只够城市道路来使用。其次,很多地方的主城区对皮卡有限制,买这个五菱征途作为生产工具,还不如去买货用面包车,价格还比这车便宜。再者,皮卡在目前的政策下,是有15年/60万公里的强制报废规定的。所以,五菱征途这一次让到底想怎么玩,我是有些没看懂,甚至可以说皮卡车“能拉会跑”的优点在这台车上并不明显,而皮卡“限行”的缺点还难以解决,只能说噱头确实是做到了,但是这台车肯定无法像MINI EV那样大火。写在最后当然,年后即将上市的新车不止这几款,比如长安的UNI-K、五菱宏光侠、新款本田思域等等,这些都将在年后的汽车市场中掀起浪花。至于能掀起多大的浪,归根结底还是取决于自己的实力,以及我们之前反复提及的那两个字——诚意。音频图文更新在订阅号:
