GB2RS News Sunday the 20th of July 2025 The news headlines: The RSGB launches GB70RS awards to celebrate 70 years of GB2RS New volunteer RSGB STEM Champion announced Visit the RSGB National Radio Centre during the summer holidays The RSGB's weekly news broadcast, GB2RS, is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the Society is inviting you to collect awards for listening and logging GB2RS News broadcasts between Friday, the 1st of August and Tuesday, the 30th of September. There are four categories, including a basic listener award and a regular listener award. Full details of the programme, the rules and how to apply for your certificate are available by searching GB70RS at QRZ.com. To read about the awards and wider celebrations that are taking place for the 70th anniversary of GB2RS, go to rsgb.org/gb70rs RSGB Board Director, Ben Lloyd, GW4BML, has appointed Ian Stevenson, G3YNU, as the volunteer RSGB STEM Champion. This new role fits with the RSGB's strategy to bring amateur radio to new audiences and to highlight the link between amateur radio and science, technology, engineering and maths. Ian brings a wealth of experience to this role, having been a mathematics teacher for ten years, with a further 23 years in Higher Education as a Senior Lecturer in ICT and Education. Ian also played a pivotal role in establishing the RSGB School Links Project, which introduced classroom activities that connect amateur radio with the school curricula. The project was established following Tim Peake's Principia mission to the International Space Station, which included ten UK ARISS school contacts during Tim's time in space. In his new RSGB role, Ian is enthusiastic about fostering close ties with STEM organisations and STEM ambassadors across the UK, including those already engaged with the RSGB. If you'd like to contact Ian to share suggestions that may enhance the RSGB's STEM outreach programme, you can contact him via stem.champion@rsgb.org.uk If you are looking for an activity to keep the children busy during the summer holidays, why not plan a visit to the RSGB National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park? The knowledgeable and welcoming volunteers will be on hand to give an introduction to radio technology, how it works and why it is still relevant today. There are interactive displays as well as the opportunity to get a certificate for sending your name in Morse code. There will also be three more of the successful Spy Transmitter events during the summer, so keep an eye on the Bletchley Park website and the RSGB comms channels if you'd like to take part. Start planning your visit by going to rsgb.org/nrc. Don't forget that as a membership benefit, RSGB members can visit the world-famous Bletchley Park estate, including the RSGB National Radio Centre, for free. Download your voucher by going to rsgb.org/bpvoucher Did you know that the Radio Communications Foundation offers funding to young people who need help with the Foundation licence exam fee? They need to be under the age of 21 and in full-time education. If you know someone who may be eligible, help spread the word and promote this programme. To find out more and submit an application, go to commsfoundation.co.uk and select ‘RCF Grants' from the sub-menu. This year marked the centenary of the unique mechanical Alexanderson Alternator transmitter at Grimeton near Varberg in Sweden. GB2RS Newsreader and NRC volunteer Brian Hardy, G4BIP, travelled to Sweden for a special 70th birthday trip with his partner Hilary, G7SOI. On the 2nd of July, they were able to watch SAQ being operated on a frequency of 17.2kHz as part of the celebration. Brian was even allowed to key up the station in advance of the formal transmission and send some test messages. Despite SAQ having a power output of 80kW, nobody came back to his CQ call! However, it was a big tick on his 'bucket list'! The station is usually fired up twice a year and is well worth a visit. You can discover much more, including a fascinating YouTube video of the centenary event, via alexander.n.se The UK Six Metre Group's AGM will be held via Zoom on Sunday, the 27th of July 2025 at 17:00 UTC.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 17th of July. Space weather has been a bit like our terrestrial weather this week. We have had sunspots, some C-class solar flares, some coronal mass ejections and a large coronal hole – unsettled, you could say! Luckily, the coronal mass ejections were not Earth-directed, but the Kp index did rise to 5 on the 15th of July and again late on the 16th of July. The large coronal hole, which may have been responsible, is well south on the Sun's surface and should rotate out of Earth's view by the beginning of the coming week. Meanwhile, the Sun appears to have woken up, spot-wise, with 11 groups on the 17th of July, four of which are classed as growing, while two are stable and three are declining. Two groups are unclassified at this time. This resulted in an increase in the solar flux index to 152 on Thursday, the 17th. Overall, this means quite reasonable HF conditions considering the time of year. Recent DX spots included the JW0V DXpedition to Svalbard on both SSB and FT8, and C93RRC in Mozambique on 17m CW, plus 30, 20 and 10m FT8. Conditions have been up and down, with daytime maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, over a 3,000km path reaching 28MHz at times, but then quickly declining to 18 or 19MHz ten minutes later. All we can advise is to keep listening! Nighttime MUFs over a 3,000km path have generally been exceeding 10MHz, and occasionally reaching 14MHz. We may start to see nighttime 14MHz openings tailing off as we head into late July. Next week, NOAA is a little pessimistic with a predicted solar flux index in the range of 118 to 130. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions, with a possible Kp of 4, are forecast for Tuesday, 22nd of July. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The unsettled weather over this weekend will continue through the first part of the coming week. Some of the rain will be heavy and possibly thundery, so there is a good chance of rain scatter on the GHz bands. After mid-week, the pattern may change enough for a weak ridge of high pressure to build close to the UK and this may offer some Tropo opportunities. It may not be strong enough for it to persist through the warmth of a July day. Thus, most places will have better Tropo prospects overnight. The solar conditions have recently fired off a steady stream of aurora alerts, and we should probably expect similar in the coming week. Meteor scatter is often on people's minds during late summer since we have two showers towards the end of this month and, of course, next month's Perseids. This month, both the Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids peak around the 30th of July, but we are already in the broad spread of dates for activity. Sporadic-E is still happening on most days somewhere within Europe, but even UK stations can expect regular FT8 activity and a fair chance of CW or SSB paths for stronger events. Last Wednesday saw another early afternoon opening into the USA. These stronger events need a low Kp index, below 3, and some jet stream activity to generate turbulence that can spread upwards to the E region. In the coming week, we will certainly have some jet stream activity, so it should be worth monitoring your favourite beacons for activity. It's always helpful to have a list of favourite beacons at the ready to cover a range of directions. For example, one in Finland, Poland, Hungary, Italy and Spain should cover it. Moon declination is positive again, reaching maximum on Tuesday, the 22nd, with associated long Moon windows and high peak elevation. Path losses continue to fall until perigee today, Sunday, the 20th. 144MHz sky noise is moderate, but Thursday the 24th sees the Moon and Sun close in the sky until early the following day. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Mike Belkowski reunites with Chris Burres, co-founder of SES Research and the original supplier of the carbon 60 (C60) used in the historic 2012 French longevity study where Wistar rats lived 90% longer than the control group. This episode centers around the rebranding of BioLight's C60 product to BioESS60, with an emphasis on scientific rigor, quality assurance, and consumer safety. Chris and Dr. Mike unpack why the C60 supplement market has become compromised, how the name ESS60 (Elemental Safe Spheres) was created to separate quality-controlled, biologically safe carbon 60 from industrial or fraudulent versions, and what the latest science suggests about its mechanism of action inside the mitochondria. Chris introduces the BOSS Theory — Buffering Oxidative Stress System — explaining how ESS60 functions as a selective antioxidant that targets negatively charged ROS without interfering with redox signaling. This distinguishes it from traditional antioxidants like vitamin C or E, which are non-selective and degrade after use. Chris compares ESS60 to a “molecular sponge” that protects the cell's internal “prairie” from the torrential stress “storms” of modern life. Alongside that, the two discuss how ESS60 and methylene blue may have synergistic roles in mitochondrial optimization — MB enhances ATP production efficiency, while ESS60 buffers the resulting oxidative stress. The conversation also touches on the evolving understanding of nitric oxide (NO) signaling and how not all NO inhibition is necessarily harmful — especially when considering MB's selective inhibition of inducible NO synthase (iNOS). If you found the information in today's episode with Chris Burres particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes: “ESS60 is a selective antioxidant — it buffers only the negatively charged reactive oxygen species that cause damage, while preserving the signaling functions of the others.” – Chris Burres “Taking something in the morning and positively impacting sleep at night — that's not normal. But that's what people consistently report with ESS60.” – Chris Burres “The supplement industry is the Wild West.

Volvo buyers in China got an unwelcome surprise recently when they discovered some irregularities in a standard component.According to Chinese media outlet Sohu, as reported by Carscoops, several owners posted concerns on social media about the speakers installed in their S60 sedans.One customer reported that his upgraded, premium quality speakers from the brand Bowers & Wilkins weren't there – instead, was a set labeled “Bowers & VVilkins” – with the second word starting with two capital Vs instead of the W.

It's very pleasant when you get behind the wheel of a car, and it proves to be a lot better than you thought it would be. That was Host Jack Nerad's experience with the 2024 Volvo S60 Recharge eAWD Ultimate Dark. While the eurosedan has a name longer than the block Nerad lives on, he discovered it to be faster, more agile, and more inventive than he imagined. One big positive — the 455 horsepower available from its plug-in hybrid powertrain. The 143 horsepower kicked in by the rear-axle electric motor, which engages almost instantly, made the S60 Recharge feel even more powerful. Inside, the competitor to the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers a well-designed cabin that doesn't look like a clone of every other sports-luxury sedan. For one thing, it has cloth upholstery, which was attractive and felt cool to the touch. And the infotainment system is topnotch, too. We'll have more on the S60 in this episode if we don't run out of time just saying its full name. Co-host Chris Teague was at the wheel of our other road test vehicle this week — the very competent 2024 Acura MDX Type S. It's Acura's sportiest three-row trim, and while that might sound oxymoronic, it proved apt, as our review of the MDX will outline. In the news this week, the proposed fuel economy regulations could cost American automakers almost $10 billion in fines. This is according to a letter the companies sent to the Department of Energy. Of course, carmakers will probably pass on the costs to consumers, so all of us will end up paying more. In happier news, vehicle sales surged in the third quarter. We'll tell you which types led the charge — and which didn't — coming up. The figures might surprise you. A related story shows that EVs are affordable, at least for some people, but that affordability depends a lot on who you are and what kind of money you have. A new report says the United Auto Workers union's strike tactics are forcing the U.S.-based carmakers into a game of "Survivor.” We will talk about that and about which of the car companies is likely to cave in first. Our special guest this week is Honda product planner Kyle Campbell. He'll give us all the inside details on the 2024 Honda Passport TrailSport in an interview for you coming up. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

Tom and guest host Brendan Appel of the Sons of Speed (Jill is traveling this week) opened the show discussing the off-road ready Ford Bronco Raptor. The hosts agreed that Raptor is pricey, and a little too wide to drive in urban environments, but found much to like about the truck. Tom and Brendan also discussed the coming 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor, the first American-market Raptor version of the midsize pickup. In the second segment the hosts are joined by Larry Nutson, Chicago Bureau Chief of The Auto Channel. Larry shared his thoughts on where the auto industry is on the path to electrification, and laid out a rough timeline for EV adoption. In the third segment Brendan was subjected to Tom's “Maserati or Cocoa Bean” quiz. Tom also talked about the Volvo S60 Recharge, and how the S60 is a better vehicle when electrified.

※ 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32分钟聊全新福特蒙迪欧，后半部分聊出行安全。蒙迪欧到底值多少钱？全新蒙迪欧目前指导价15.98-21.98万。每一档间隔2万，时尚、豪华、至尊和ST-Line。其实对于消费者来说，配置和对应的价格非常好选，而且入门15.98万，看起来非常有性价比。可是很多人心中有个疑问，蒙迪欧到底值多少钱？因为大家至今对于蒙迪欧的价格印象，还是停留在上一代老款车型上，老款蒙迪欧180时尚，指导价19.28万，优惠最多能达到6万多接近7万，12万多的裸车价，落地15万左右。而2.0T虽然后来停产了，但是之前在售的时候，200时尚指导价20.58万，优惠后14万多，落地17万不到。因此，蒙迪欧在很多人心中就是15-17万左右的车型。如果按照这个心理预期，那麻烦就大了。因为新蒙迪欧跟EVOS一样，都是通过福特的官方APP下单，理论上讲是没有任何优惠的。因此，官方定价多少就是多少。虽然看起来定价不高，可是消费者如果只接受15-17万落地买蒙迪欧的话，那全系只有最低配15.98万的版本能选，17.98万以上的版本他都觉得贵。你真别觉得夸张，蒙迪欧虽然是B级车，但是由于这款车换代速度太慢，之前种下的因，还是会影响到现在结成的果。因为就看到了这样的场面，很多网友拿雪佛兰迈瑞宝XL来对比，说迈瑞宝XL的2.0T版本，指导价19.59万，裸车价才14万多，比蒙迪欧入门款还便宜1万。斯柯达速派330版本18.99万，优惠完也就才16万左右，不觉得蒙迪欧的定价有多便宜。新蒙迪欧价格对标谁？蒙迪欧真的不便宜吗？我觉得从定价上看，福特已经尽力了。虽然说还是有些最后的倔强，但就目前大环境来说，定这个价格肯定是深思熟虑的。首先，我们可以看看他的兄弟车型EVOS。我之前说过，福特其实不用急着上市蒙迪欧，可以先让EVOS的销量起来，把EVOS口碑做好，然后再出全新蒙迪欧。但这个车就不要叫蒙迪欧了，因为国人对这个车型的联想词都几乎是负面的，直接改名“EVOS行政版”，这可是千载难逢的好机会。福特本来出新车就不多，况且这台EVOS还是货真价实的蒙迪欧魔改版本。用EVOS行政版的名字，听起来还很洋气，我觉得应该非常对中国消费者的胃口。虽然这可能会被媒体嘲笑一通，但是无所谓，你笑你的，我销量上去了，口碑起来就行，可惜福特没有这么做。当然，我也理解福特为什么不这么做，因为EVOS是中国特供车，而蒙迪欧是全球车型，听说过特供车蹭全球车型名字的，没听说过全球车型去蹭特供车名字的。再看看EVOS的定价，22.58-25.98万，对比蒙迪欧的定价15.98-21.98万，差了多少？起售价差了将近7万，我想问，同样的动力总成，同样的底盘架构，甚至连轴距2945mm都一模一样，凭什么EVOS比蒙迪欧贵将近7万？所以，我不负责任的猜测，很可能厂家眼瞅着EVOS销量预冷，赶紧用蒙迪欧来救火。蒙迪欧的定价，可以说是对EVOS的反思和总结，也可以说是对自己的一次救赎。但是蒙迪欧拉低售价之后，连锁反应还会影响到刚上市不久的林肯Z，原本林肯Z的售价25.28-34.08万，还有不少人叫好的。因为大家都觉得这车对标BBA，性价比很高，就算对标二线豪华品牌，凯迪拉克CT4/CT5，捷豹XEL，沃尔沃S60也很有优势。可大家也知道这就是精装修版的福特蒙迪欧，所以有些车主也在盯着全新蒙迪欧的定价。虽然，林肯车主只认林肯，不会买福特，但是参考一下总可以吧。结果一看，蒙迪欧入门版价格15.98万，对比林肯Z入门版价格25.28万，傻眼了，凭什么贵10万？同样的动力，同样的底盘，甚至配置上也没觉得林肯Z比蒙迪欧丰富多少。这10万买的是啥，精装修嘛，还是品牌溢价？当然，林肯本来就是为理性消费者准备的，只不过一款车如果完全依靠消费者凭感觉去买，成为主流车型的概率微乎其微。所以，你问我蒙迪欧的定价合理不合理？我说合理，但是没必要这么合理。完全可以定高一些，然后再配合促销手段来包装一下。这就让我想到了之前韩系品牌的骚操作手法，起亚K5和索纳塔10上市的时候，采取的是包牌价销售的形式。也就是说新车上市就送购置税送保险。也就是说，韩系车重新定位过自己的品牌之后，已经确定要把姿态放得比其他合资车要低，但是又没有完全在指导价上体现。因为他们知道，中国消费者买东西不可能不还价，不可能不想要占便宜的。所以，首发包牌价的操作方式，让K5凯酷和索纳塔10第一批车主，都感觉自己占到便宜了。后期没有包牌价活动结束了也没关系，再利用经销商的终端价格来放出2万左右的优惠，依然跟之前包牌的价格差不多。这就相当于在很长一段时间内，K5和索纳塔10价格几乎都没什么变化吗？前面买车的没有觉得被割韭菜，后来买车的觉得本来定价就不高，还有2万左右优惠，也不亏。福特说到底，还是用的美式定价的思路，直来直往，忽略了中国消费者的人情世故。他们可能觉得，特斯拉同样是美国品牌，一分钱优惠没有，价格一步到位不也卖得异常火爆吗？对不起，那是特斯拉。首先，人家有全球顶流网红马斯克拉流量，人设与品牌几乎合二为一；其次有直营店体系能做到线上与线下价格一致，销售渠道和定价权牢牢掌握在厂家手里；最后是特斯拉的定价符合甚至低于消费者预期，因此销量火爆。而福特如果照搬这一套APP下单，一口价模式就容易出很多问题。这就跟一家国内企业的老总去参观完了硅谷的企业，发现人家的企业文化特别宽松，上班可以带宠物，可以不用打卡，公司提供免费的美食，甚至提供健身房和游戏厅。于是他也回来模仿，结果可想而知。这其实是因为国内老总只看到了表象，没有看到实质。谷歌企业对于人才的管理、时间的管理、绩效制度的管理都是一套极为复杂，且量身定制的系统工程。只是照抄人家轻松的办公环境，不去根据自己实际情况来改造企业内部流程和制度，结果肯定是一地鸡毛。蒙迪欧低配吸引的肯定是15-20万以内，花小钱能办大事的用户。除了韩系的K5和索纳塔10以外，还包括迈瑞宝XL和斯柯达速派等等。蒙迪欧因为是新款，占据后发优势，理应可以碾压对手。但是很遗憾，我看到低配15.98万的版本，配置还是比较保守。12.3英寸的全液晶仪表变成了8英寸小屏。27英寸的带鱼屏，变成了13.2英寸。这种一眼就让人看出低配的设定，是很难让客户接受的。因为这批刚刚够到B级车门槛的客户，他们比买高配的客户更渴望得到丰富的配置。或者说，表面文章至少得做到位，别让高低配那么明显，让客户心理落差别太大。可惜，蒙迪欧又错失一次引爆销量的好机会。其实，就差这么两块大屏，其他的比如L2级智能驾驶辅助，最低配没了就没了，入门级客户也不会太在意，还有像什么织物座椅，手动调节，小轮毂这些都能忍。但是看着大黑框里面的小屏幕，客户真的忍不了。这种错误当年在奔驰A级上也犯过。A180L刚上市那会儿，大家都兴冲冲的跑去4s店看车，结果只有A200L是10.25英寸大连屏，A180L竟然是7英寸的，中间的黑框都能停下一排邮轮了。结果，很多客户放弃了这款车。没多久奔驰就把A180L高配改成了10.25英寸大连屏。所以，我估计蒙迪欧年度改款，大概率会把入门款改成大连屏。而蒙迪欧17.98万和19.98万这个价位段，刚好是雅阁、凯美瑞、帕萨特、迈腾牢牢把守住的一块市场，多少车型想从他们嘴里抢肉吃，太难了。蒙迪欧可能觉得我动力更好，配置更丰富，空间更大，应该没问题了吧？有问题，问题在于客户的信心。因为同价位段可以入手的车型太多了，所以对谁更有信心，最终就投票给谁。说白了，这是常年积累的信任过程，不是单靠一款车给出了很有诚意的价格、配置和空间就能成为爆款。再看合资B级车的客户里，大部分对车有一定的自己的理解，之前大多也拥有过一台，或者多台车。所以他们对品牌的喜好，几乎是固定的。但是，真当自己挑选想买车型时，又会考虑各方面因素。比如，周围熟人有没有已经买过帕萨特，雅阁是不是缺点什么配置，一汽大众销售服务太差，这些都可能影响他直接放弃某款车型。因为这些车型之间差距实在太小了，他本来就犹豫不定，再遇到不好的体验，可能就直接pass了。所以B级车客户其实一直在做减法，而且得出结果速度非常快。可是做减法的前提，你至少得在公式里。雅阁、凯美瑞、帕萨特和迈腾，四减三的话，就没有蒙迪欧什么事了。因此蒙迪欧首先要列在消费者的公式里，怎么进入消费者的公式呢？目前来看，福特把能做的都做了，比如空间，动力，配置，甚至搬来了12.3+27英寸的带鱼屏。你说够不够呢？有可能真的会引发一些人的思考，也有些人会心动。但是他们依然有疑问，20多万买福特？蒙迪欧会不会很快降价？内饰会不会有异味？变速箱有没有问题？油耗高不高？保值率会不会很低？作为全新蒙迪欧，大家还不算特别了解的新车型，这都是要面对的问题。所以，不是这款产品力不强，而是福特整个品牌带给客户信心还没有完全建立起来。至于顶配21.98万的ST-Line版本，我反倒是比较看好的。虽然这个价位去买帕萨特，迈腾330豪华，凯美瑞2.5豪华都没问题了，但是好歹ST-Line有自己的特色，应该会有福特粉丝愿意买单，毕竟这种风格喜欢的就会很上头，而且独此一家，别无分店。可惜蒙迪欧竟然没给ST Line加外观套件，只是给了个双色车身，然后车内用了翻毛皮，红黑搭配点缀了一下，实在是让我想不通，应该很多年轻客户也会很纠结。全新蒙迪欧的ST-Line版本应该学学君威GS，看看人家是怎么区分GS和普通版君威的。所以说，全新蒙迪欧还是有很多可以提升的地方。总结来说，全新蒙迪欧其实是一款很有诚意的B级车，可惜这款车来的稍微晚了些。同样这款产品，如果早1-2年上市，可能对于B级车市场会是一颗重磅炸弹。可惜这1-2年，日系和德系互相内卷，原来舍不得给配置的帕萨特和迈腾，新款车型都开始大满配了。再加上丰田机油门，雅阁失速门，大众A柱门这些负面阴影逐渐消退，现在这几款车销量仍然是起飞的状态。在四大金刚顺风顺水的时刻，蒙迪欧站出来说，咱们干一场，后果可想而知。蒙迪欧站在厂家角度，应该是不能再有优惠了，但我估计半年后，优惠1-2w的可能性还是有的。其实，这款车的定价真的定低了，平均应该上调2万的定价，然后包牌销售。1年后，再把2万的优惠幅度放给经销商让利。毕竟问了丰田，本田，大众都有优惠，去到福特说是一分钱优惠没有，凭什么？我不就是图便宜才来看福特吗？可是福特也很懵逼，我还不够便宜吗？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

The 2021 Volvo S60 T5 is a premium sedan in a world gone over almost completely to crossovers, and Sami and Benjamin get deep with just how surprising its past decade has been for a brand that few would have thought would still be in the luxury conversation so many years later. Benjamin then startles Sami by singing the praises of the 2021 Lexus RX 450h, a hybrid SUV that would seem to be the anti-enthusiast machine—which is exactly the point, as Benjamin points out. The pair wrap things up with their thoughts on the production Jeep Grand Wagoneer as well as the cost of electricity as it informs EV buying decisions.
※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注上个星期，今年最重磅的车型之一，全新奔驰C级（W206）终于发布了。可能真正去关注发布直播的人并不多，但在发布完的第二天，我微信里十几个与车有关的群都在聊这个车，微信切出去一会儿，那就是上百条未读，买得起的、买不起的、喜欢的、吐槽的……所有人都在聊这车，一款车能造成这么轰动的效应实在难得一见。看到新C级的时候，仿佛又有了当年第一次看到这代C级（W205）的那种惊艳感，满脑子都是香。奔驰在豪华和精致方面，真的让人上头，奔驰的标也真的很值钱，不服不行。今天聊的新C级，在欧洲只是亮相，还没有正式发售，国内应该是下半年上市。这车确实有很多亮点，但是它也并不是完美的，特别是大家看到的内饰，低配大概率不会标配这两块超大屏。还有现在流传出来的各种新奇功能，如果按照这个标准去买，怕是得准备将近50万。今天我们就来好好扒一扒新C级的优缺点，当然还包括与现款有什么差别，以及大家最关心的，与宝马3系、奥迪A4L以及同级别、同价位二线豪华品牌车型的对比。走大哥的路，让大哥无路可走之前全新S级发布的时候，那台车处于一片争议和嘲讽之中，但套用相同设计语言的全新C级发布之后，网上的风评还真的不差，反正C级只要设计成小S级就真香的定律，从上代C级和S级开始就已经被验证了。这次新C级发布了三厢版和旅行版，旅行版我们就先不聊了，不过这次发布会上有一个小插曲，公布新C级旅行版时大屏幕上显示的是“The new C-Class Wagon”，而奔驰一般都用“estate”而非“wagon”去表示自家旅行车，estate在英文中有庄园的含义，听起来更像是有钱人享受生活的大玩具，而wagon纯粹就是货车车厢的意思，就像穷苦人民的工具车一样，可是，奔驰官网上却依然用的还是“estate”，不知道这算不算是一次乌龙事件。回到全新的C级三厢版上，这次标轴版本的长宽高是4751/1820/1438mm，轴距是2865mm，相比现款海外标轴，在长、宽和轴距上分别提升了65mm、10mm和25mm，但是高度降低了9mm。总结成一句话就是更长更宽更扁了，其实这样的车长已经非常接近现款国产长轴4784mm的数据，未来加长之后（消息称轴距加长89mm）大概率会超过BBA同级别中最长的3系长轴（4829mm)。所以，对于未来国产C级长轴版本的空间可以期待一下，会不会达到3系长轴版本的水平？这次新C级的整体轮廓就像是新S级的等比例缩小，采用一样的带有260万像素和投影功能的LED数字大灯，以及颇具争议性的“三角眼”尾灯，此外就是新S级的数字大灯了点亮后中间有3个亮点，中期改款的E级变成了2个点，而新C级只剩1个点，当然，这个大灯在国内大概率会成为选配或者顶配才有的东西。在内饰部分，除了空调出风口以外，基本照搬新S级，左边是12.3英寸全液晶仪表，右边是11.9英寸OLED触控屏，我大概数了一下，新C级中控区域的实体按键一只手就能数的过来，基本上都集中在中控屏幕的下方。但是，先不要激动，记不记得A180L上被阉割成两块老式手机一样大的双联屏，在国产后的新C级低配车型上，液晶仪表和中控屏幕大概率也会缩水。总之，新C级的设计可以总结成一句话：走大哥的路，让大哥无路可走。奔驰轿车线每一轮的更新换代，基本都是从S级开始，随后延伸到E级和C级，这样做的好处，是让S级车主率先享用全新的设计语言，玩腻了扔给C级和E级车主，并且C级和E级车主不会有任何怨言，反而会“感激流涕”，自己的车就成了“小S级”，有一种花小钱办大事的舒爽。但是，我仍然怀念那个设计师不会偷懒的年代，每款车都有自己的专属设计，诞生了蝴蝶奔、四眼E等等经典设计，而现在的所谓家族化设计更像是设计师偷懒的结果。反观这次的新S级，那台车的身上有太多的元素在CLS和CLA、以及A级三厢和改款E级上出现过了，并且内饰的全面科技化也放弃了原先坚持了数十年的“纸醉金迷”般的豪华调性，这是一场豪赌。不过，我觉得正是新S级如此大胆，才成就了新C级的设计，这套语言相比新S级，更像是为了新C级量身打造的，它的定位和人群不需要出格的豪华，看起来高级感、再来点新意就可以了，如果新C级能让人遗忘掉现款的设计，就算没上市就已经成功了一半，以至于我们的兔子叕叕叕叕想换车了，只不过他想换的是C级旅行版，我记得他说了这么一句话：“我这个对奔驰从来不感兴趣的人，这次也被‘套头'了（南京话，表示深陷其中）”。再一个比较劲爆的消息，那就是这次新C级取消了立标车型。为什么要取消立标车型，我个人猜测有两个原因：第一， 是奔驰希望更加明确旗下的车型定位，以及区分相对应的消费人群，所以现在S级只有立标，毕竟S级车主的商务需求更多；E级有立标和大标，E级消费人群多样化，有商务的也有家用的；而C级只有大标，你在路上见过现款立标C级吗，之前说买黑色A4L和白色A6L的都是狠人，但我觉得买立标C级的人更狠。第二， 这次新C级的风格明显更偏运动化，比如之前提到更矮的车身，官方宣传片中的样车还是哑光灰色，要知道这在之前可是AMG的专属颜色，让我非常意外的是，新C级的配置中居然出现了新S级上的“后轮转向”，而且被当作主要买点宣传。后轮转向是什么？这是一种后轮小角度转动的技术，低速下与前轮反方向转动，减小转弯半径，高速下变为同方向转动，提升过弯时的稳定性。这玩意儿放在S级这样的大车上，使用场景更多是调头和停车，虽说后轮的转角也许只有几度，但可以将大型轿车的转弯半径缩小至中型轿车的水平。除了大车，一般只有跑车或者性能车才会使用，比如保时捷的911，纯粹为了提升操控极限。这次放在了新C级上面，那么是不是可以猜测一下，在标榜运动的3系都全面舒适化的今天，C级反而希望通过增强运动性能去抢夺原属于3系的粉丝？除了后轮转向和数字大灯，新C级也是不遗余力地去蹭新S级的配置，比如可以点外卖的第二代MBUX系统、新S级刚刚用上的AR-HUD增强现实的抬头显示……先泼一盆冷水，有些东西看看就好，尤其是后轮转向，国产后大概率是顶配中的顶配才有资格享用，参考一下现款顶配的价格，想要这些东西全部配齐，那你面对的很可能是一台指导价50万的C级。没有新意的全系电气化当然，全新C级的重点不只是内饰和外观的改变，这台车的动力总成也采用了M254发动机+48V电机组成的ISG系统，相比于之前的M264发动机+48V电机的BSG系统，现在的ISG系统把电机集成在发动机和变速箱之间，可以直接输出动力和扭矩，而不是像之前那样需要通过皮带进行动力传输。这就相当于过去你如果想把一只整猪放进冰箱，需要先把肉分割开，然后归类放进去，现在则变成了开冰箱门、放进去、关冰箱门，就这么直接。当然，我们作为消费者其实不需要去了解这个ISG系统到底是什么东西，我们需要知道的是，这套动力系统从动力输出参数、响应速度、平顺性、经济性等方面，都超越了奔驰自家之前的BSG系统。其中，1.5T的M254的ISG电机有15千瓦的输出功率和200牛米的扭矩输出，这15千瓦和200牛米是直接可以从启动开始就输出到轮上（严格来说是发动机点火之前），所以它的动力响应可以说超越了很多传统的燃油车，应该是只比电动车的动力响应差一点。而同期发售的插混版本的全新C级，无论其电机架构形式是P1还是P2的，由于ISG系统的存在，从动力层面看，都可以做到类似于本田IMMD那样可以串联和并联的系统，按照奔驰官方现在给出的100公里纯电续航，加上PHEV系统天生具有的节能属性，混动版本的全新C级有可能续航里程超过1000公里。从我的角度来看，奔驰能把全新C级进行全系电气化，这个操作还是很大胆的，特别是连C63 AMG这样经典的性能车，也要变成2.0T+48V的动力配置，这一点是目前奥迪和宝马都不敢做的事，我觉得可以说明两件事：第一， 奔驰对自家的小排量涡轮技术很有信心，这种信心一方面是作为大品牌的自信，相信只有奔驰大标+AMG仍然可以hold住百万的定价；另一方面现在新款A45和A45S上搭载的M139 2.0T发动机，其实力确实很强，主要原因在于近几年奔驰赛车技术大规模下放，所以有能力通过小排量发动机去取代6缸、8缸。退一步讲，现在不换也不行，大排量现在在全球各国都是被打压的状态。我们都知道，上一代的奔驰基本上是部分中低配车型采用混动或者是小排量涡轮，比如被人吐槽的GLB配1.33T发动机、C级和E级配1.5T+48V……从技术上来说，之前奔驰的小排量发动机技术确实不够成熟，加上国产之后各种阉割和减配，北奔的装配工艺也有点感人，进而给人一种德不配位，花钱就是为了买标的感觉，当然人们对于车型排量的固有认知，也是不可忽略的因素。第二， 以目前的形式来看，BBA三家都将大面积采用以轻混为主的动力配置，同时并不完全押宝在电动车上，而是依然将重点押在燃油为主的轻混车型上，当然这其中的原因，一方面是如果全面铺开电动车，那就是自己革自己的命，因为在电动车领域里，传统品牌大多数情况下并不如新品牌好使，对于这种老牌汽车厂家来说，反而容易得不偿失；另一方面则是PHEV类车型在我国和欧洲都算是算新能源车，只是国内目前对于PHEV插混车型的政策正在不断收紧，由于这种轻混车型由于不受电池成本的限制，又能够享受政策红利，所以对于厂家来说，他们在降低车辆油耗的同时，能有更强的议价权和控制成本的能力，还可以去满足更高的排放标准，并且有可能通过混动系统去打造出更强的动力。绝对是当下的首选方案。但是，当我们把奔驰这套全新的电气化动力系统扒开来看，你会发现它的本质其实就是通过“省油+长续航”和“高性能”这两条腿来走路，这一点是不是有些似曾相识的感觉？没错，这正是比亚迪已经做了很久的事情，比亚迪不就是“DM-P系统”走高性能路线，然后“DM-i系统”走省油+长续航路线么，所以奔驰这个玩法真的有些落后了，至少从我自己角度来看，确实没什么新意。而奔驰作为一个已经诞生一百多年的老同志，明显在看清未来趋势方面，还没有比亚迪高瞻远瞩。但是，奔驰这样的汽车界大佬，这一次显然自认为是有备而来，只是汽车市场里并不只有奔驰一家，别的厂家会不会进行“偷袭”也不好说。所以，好戏肯定还在后头。奔驰C级的对手们依照目前的市场情况来看，大多数去选择奔驰C级的客户，主要对比的其实就是奥迪A4L和宝马3系，还有一部分则是会去对比凯迪拉克的CT5、雷克萨斯ES、沃尔沃S60等等。那么，这些差不多价位的车，和奔驰新C级之间应该怎么选呢？我们先聊聊两个奔驰C级的死对头，也就是宝马3系和奥迪A4L。我们都知道，宝马3系是这三台车当中最早完成换代的车型，从过去的F3X变成了现在的G2X，这一代的宝马3系拥有BBA三家当中最长的轴距，也有相对而言更好的乘坐空间，这台车其实从上市到现在，一路价格都非常坚挺，甚至坚挺的有点不像宝马了，市场热度也是很高。撇开价格不谈，现在的宝马3系其实已经不像过去那样追求运动性，反而是逐步的在向舒适化靠拢，现在的宝马3系，不仅原厂全系减配了防倾杆，而且原厂避震也很软，你在开的时候会明显感觉车辆指向性虽然很好，悬架响应也很快，但软趴趴的悬挂，在劈弯的时候很难给你信心，以至于有一种方向盘告诉你可以，但是车身动态反馈告诉你慢一点的感觉。除此之外，2020年9月以后出厂的宝马所有车型，都进行了ECU加密，所以无法通过刷写ECU的方式进行动力升级，并且2020年11月以后的325Li车型，用的发动机改成了和320Li一样的B48C版本，要知道之前的325Li一直用的是B48D机头，和330的发动机一样。简单的说，你可以理解325以前是330的发动机降低了功率，现在是320的发动机调高了功率。有人问，这有什么差别呢，差别在于换装B48C之后，发动机的散热系统发生改变，B48C的散热是风冷+水冷，B48D是两个水箱散热，并且发动机的排气歧管进行了集成，整体性能相比B48D会弱一些……以至于网上都流传一个段子，说“E90是E46的后代，F30是很像奔驰的宝马，G20/G28则是宝马找奥迪代工出来的奔驰”，你品，你细品。而奥迪A4L这台车现在还没有换代，底盘依旧是代号B9的那一套，2016年上市，奥迪换代周期在6-7年，上次B8到B9的换代就经历了7年，所以下次B10换代估计在2022年-2023年。但是现款在售的A4L顶配45TFSI Quattro的运动性非常强，不仅配备了有别于普通A4L的运动底盘，并且在整体性能和硬件配置上也是压着宝马330和奔驰C300在打，加上后续的车辆改装潜力非常高，换言之就是如果不服，那就崩哭你。奥迪A4L的问题在于，买奥迪A4L的大多数人还是选择40TFSI版本的车辆，而A4L时尚版的车型（不管是35TFSI时尚动感型，还是40TFSI时尚动感/致雅型）都没有后排独立空调，也没有后排独立的空调出风口，这一点在日常使用的时候确实差点意思，不过价格合适啊，30万不到就可以落地。而上到40TFSI的豪华型，基本上该有的配置都有了，也就比时尚版贵2万左右，唯一需要纠结的就是选择前驱车型还是四驱车型，如果选择四驱，就再多掏2万。可能有些人说，我买A4L不是为了便宜，而是觉得现在的A4L反而是34C里面操控性最好的车型，所以我决定再等2年，等B10上市再入手。我劝各位早点打消这种想法，因为基本确定，后期B10车型要用MQB横置模块化平台替换掉现在的MLB Evo纵置模块化平台，换言之，下一代的操控性大概率不如现款，但是空间和舒适度应该会提升不少，到时候再配上三块屏的虚拟座舱，照样可以咔咔的收割钱包。如果用全新奔驰C级来和目前在售的宝马3系、奥迪A4L进行对比，其实就是打了一个时间差，因为宝马3系已经进行过大改款，近两年也不会有什么大动作，而奥迪A4L则是中期小改款刚结束没多久，前面我也说了，B10换代车型至少要在2022-2023年才能上市。所以，今年的全新奔驰C级只要不作死、不减配、该给优惠就给优惠，那销量肯定是蹭蹭蹭的往上涨，至于什么1.5T发动机动力弱，相信我，在小S面前，这些根本不是问题，你给这车配个1.3T发动机，价格再便宜2万，很多人也愿意买。撇开BBA三家不谈，目前市场上还有一个对手就是凯迪拉克CT5。凯迪拉克CT5最近销量也是节节攀升，虽然一直以来都被人调侃，认为是买不起BBA的才去选择凯迪拉克，这里我要帮他们说句公道话。不是买不起BBA，是买不起BB，也就是奔驰和宝马。奥迪不能算进去，因为奥迪A4L现在优惠后的价格，实际上与CT5差不多。CT5目前优惠5-5.5万，28T豪华落地28万出头。A4L 40时尚落地30万不到，其实是差不多的。能选择CT5的客户，绝对不是因为这一点价格差，更多是对凯迪拉克的真爱。凯迪拉克CT5也是最近才上了2021款车型，主要是在内饰和车机方面进行了一些小的提升。凯迪拉克CT5这台车相比BBA而言，其本身最大的优势主要在于性价比，能让你用更少的钱买到更好的配置，并且这台车的发动机不像BBA那样分高低功率，全系都是237马力/350牛米的发动机，只是百公里加速7.3s的成绩总让人觉得差点意思。但是，凯迪拉克CT5也有一些小问题，比如这台车的内饰相比于BBA而言确实差点意思，这一点不仅限于CT5，凯迪拉克全系车型（除了凯雷德）其实都有这个问题。再一个问题就是这台车的FOTA系统，这个问题我一直都很诟病，我总觉得是凯迪拉克用力过猛，而且还把力气用错了地方，因为大多数去选择凯迪拉克的车主，其实追求的就是运动性，现在这个237马力显然是不够格的，毕竟之前老款ATS-L都有279马力，加上凯迪拉克现在一个FOTA搞上去，使得现在的CT5无法像别的车型那样通过刷写ECU进行动力升级，只能默默地等待官方推送动力升级程序，但是官方到现在也没有动静；最后的问题就是配置不合理，当然这个配置指的不是舒适型配置，而是硬件配置，要知道过去的ATS-L全系标配前轮BREMBO四活塞刹车，但是到了现在的CT5反而变成了顶配才有，所以我就在想，即使是无法标配这些性能件，是否能够开放选装，该多少钱就多少钱呗。最后，奔驰C级其实还有一个对手，那就是雷克萨斯ES，有人说，不对啊，IS才是对标34C的车型，别急，听我说。目前IS新款还没上市，国内没有IS可买，但是ES200这款车的定价29-30.9万，一台进口的雷克萨斯ES，理论上车型定位还高于34C，裸车价不打折也就是3系、A4L、C级的价位，还送4年10万公里免费保修保养，你觉得吸不吸引人？雷克萨斯ES这台车的路数其实和凯迪拉克CT6、沃尔沃S90差不多，都是越级来打B级车市场，同时和C级车产生竞争关系，只不过凯迪拉克CT6和沃尔沃S90目前的优惠幅度非常大，而雷克萨斯ES则没有优惠，有不少地方直到现在都还是要加价提车，但是胜在定价不高（官方指导价29-40.9万）。假如真的有客户从ES200开始看起，说不定还会被混动洗脑，最终买了ES300h也说不定，到了豪华品牌混动领域，雷克萨斯几乎通杀四方，并且同等价位中雷克萨斯在主被动安全配置上给到的配置也算可以。但是，雷克萨斯ES这台车一直以来就像榴莲一样，两极分化非常严重，喜欢的人就特别喜欢，觉得舒适度好、保值率高、后期养护省心，但是不喜欢的人就嗤之以鼻，觉得就是个老年代步车，中控土了吧唧，车机难用的要命，最关键的是动力是个弱鸡。取消平民车？奔驰希望自己成为奢侈品之前在网上一直有传言，说奔驰希望自己成为奢侈品，把自己打造成汽车中的爱马仕。我不知道奔驰是怎么理解“奢侈品”这三个字的，因为在我看来，车和包、衣服、鞋子都不一样，价值基准也不一样，就算是几十万的奔驰车，其本质依然具备极强的工具属性，只有那些超豪车和超跑，才算是真正意义上的奢侈品，而奢侈品包包的价值更多体现的是社交属性，没有人在意一个爱马仕可以装多少东西。传言中，奔驰的做法是取消C级以下的所有车型，也就是说未来奔驰将没有30万以内的车，假如奔驰真的要这么做，我先不谈能不能成功，但也许能让奔驰离自己想象中的“奢侈品”更进一步。当然，奔驰也有自己的苦衷，毕竟等车辆电池和充电技术成熟之后，电动车的成本会进一步的大幅度降低（看看每年都在降价的特斯拉），而传统燃油车企在30万以内的市场去和电动车拼性价比，结局大概率是失败，这个问题在目前逐渐价格下沉的豪华品牌上会尤其明显，所以要么拼不过就加入电动大军，要么干脆放弃这部分市场打出价值差异化，奔驰的奢侈品路线倒是为所有豪华品牌提供了一个破局的思路。这景象像极了当年钟表业的石英危机，瑞士的机械手表在引以为豪的可靠和精准上，被来自日本的精工石英表打的毫无还手之力，要不是后来瑞士钟表业找到出路，将机械手表与奢侈品的概念牢牢捆绑，现在至少有一半的瑞士钟表品牌已经消失。但是活下来的，妥妥的都是奢侈品。这次的全新C级或许多少也受到了这种理念的影响，整台车看上去非常精致，现在这个年代不缺家境优渥的人，尤其在这两年疫情导致的通货膨胀基础上，手里有些资产的人反而越发有钱，今年南京的奢侈品店门口，排队的人比往年都多，而且每家店出来的人手里都提着大包小包。也许，看着更精致的奔驰，才能满足这些富裕阶级的使用需求和社交需求，只是这样一来，我们这样的普通人也许会离奔驰越来越远。你说对吗？*图片源自网络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，欢迎关注上个星期，今年最重磅的车型之一，全新奔驰C级（W206）终于发布了。可能真正去关注发布直播的人并不多，但在发布完的第二天，我微信里十几个与车有关的群都在聊这个车，微信切出去一会儿，那就是上百条未读，买得起的、买不起的、喜欢的、吐槽的……所有人都在聊这车，一款车能造成这么轰动的效应实在难得一见。看到新C级的时候，仿佛又有了当年第一次看到这代C级（W205）的那种惊艳感，满脑子都是香。奔驰在豪华和精致方面，真的让人上头，奔驰的标也真的很值钱，不服不行。今天聊的新C级，在欧洲只是亮相，还没有正式发售，国内应该是下半年上市。这车确实有很多亮点，但是它也并不是完美的，特别是大家看到的内饰，低配大概率不会标配这两块超大屏。还有现在流传出来的各种新奇功能，如果按照这个标准去买，怕是得准备将近50万。今天我们就来好好扒一扒新C级的优缺点，当然还包括与现款有什么差别，以及大家最关心的，与宝马3系、奥迪A4L以及同级别、同价位二线豪华品牌车型的对比。走大哥的路，让大哥无路可走之前全新S级发布的时候，那台车处于一片争议和嘲讽之中，但套用相同设计语言的全新C级发布之后，网上的风评还真的不差，反正C级只要设计成小S级就真香的定律，从上代C级和S级开始就已经被验证了。这次新C级发布了三厢版和旅行版，旅行版我们就先不聊了，不过这次发布会上有一个小插曲，公布新C级旅行版时大屏幕上显示的是“The

是奔驰希望更加明确旗下的车型定位，以及区分相对应的消费人群，所以现在S级只有立标，毕竟S级车主的商务需求更多；E级有立标和大标，E级消费人群多样化，有商务的也有家用的；而C级只有大标，你在路上见过现款立标C级吗，之前说买黑色A4L和白色A6L的都是狠人，但我觉得买立标C级的人更狠。第二， 这次新C级的风格明显更偏运动化，比如之前提到更矮的车身，官方宣传片中的样车还是哑光灰色，要知道这在之前可是AMG的专属颜色，让我非常意外的是，新C级的配置中居然出现了新S级上的“后轮转向”，而且被当作主要买点宣传。后轮转向是什么？这是一种后轮小角度转动的技术，低速下与前轮反方向转动，减小转弯半径，高速下变为同方向转动，提升过弯时的稳定性。这玩意儿放在S级这样的大车上，使用场景更多是调头和停车，虽说后轮的转角也许只有几度，但可以将大型轿车的转弯半径缩小至中型轿车的水平。除了大车，一般只有跑车或者性能车才会使用，比如保时捷的911，纯粹为了提升操控极限。这次放在了新C级上面，那么是不是可以猜测一下，在标榜运动的3系都全面舒适化的今天，C级反而希望通过增强运动性能去抢夺原属于3系的粉丝？除了后轮转向和数字大灯，新C级也是不遗余力地去蹭新S级的配置，比如可以点外卖的第二代MBUX系统、新S级刚刚用上的AR-HUD增强现实的抬头显示……先泼一盆冷水，有些东西看看就好，尤其是后轮转向，国产后大概率是顶配中的顶配才有资格享用，参考一下现款顶配的价格，想要这些东西全部配齐，那你面对的很可能是一台指导价50万的C级。没有新意的全系电气化当然，全新C级的重点不只是内饰和外观的改变，这台车的动力总成也采用了M254发动机+48V电机组成的ISG系统，相比于之前的M264发动机+48V电机的BSG系统，现在的ISG系统把电机集成在发动机和变速箱之间，可以直接输出动力和扭矩，而不是像之前那样需要通过皮带进行动力传输。这就相当于过去你如果想把一只整猪放进冰箱，需要先把肉分割开，然后归类放进去，现在则变成了开冰箱门、放进去、关冰箱门，就这么直接。当然，我们作为消费者其实不需要去了解这个ISG系统到底是什么东西，我们需要知道的是，这套动力系统从动力输出参数、响应速度、平顺性、经济性等方面，都超越了奔驰自家之前的BSG系统。其中，1.5T的M254的ISG电机有15千瓦的输出功率和200牛米的扭矩输出，这15千瓦和200牛米是直接可以从启动开始就输出到轮上（严格来说是发动机点火之前），所以它的动力响应可以说超越了很多传统的燃油车，应该是只比电动车的动力响应差一点。而同期发售的插混版本的全新C级，无论其电机架构形式是P1还是P2的，由于ISG系统的存在，从动力层面看，都可以做到类似于本田IMMD那样可以串联和并联的系统，按照奔驰官方现在给出的100公里纯电续航，加上PHEV系统天生具有的节能属性，混动版本的全新C级有可能续航里程超过1000公里。从我的角度来看，奔驰能把全新C级进行全系电气化，这个操作还是很大胆的，特别是连C63 AMG这样经典的性能车，也要变成2.0T+48V的动力配置，这一点是目前奥迪和宝马都不敢做的事，我觉得可以说明两件事：第一， 奔驰对自家的小排量涡轮技术很有信心，这种信心一方面是作为大品牌的自信，相信只有奔驰大标+AMG仍然可以hold住百万的定价；另一方面现在新款A45和A45S上搭载的M139 2.0T发动机，其实力确实很强，主要原因在于近几年奔驰赛车技术大规模下放，所以有能力通过小排量发动机去取代6缸、8缸。退一步讲，现在不换也不行，大排量现在在全球各国都是被打压的状态。我们都知道，上一代的奔驰基本上是部分中低配车型采用混动或者是小排量涡轮，比如被人吐槽的GLB配1.33T发动机、C级和E级配1.5T+48V……从技术上来说，之前奔驰的小排量发动机技术确实不够成熟，加上国产之后各种阉割和减配，北奔的装配工艺也有点感人，进而给人一种德不配位，花钱就是为了买标的感觉，当然人们对于车型排量的固有认知，也是不可忽略的因素。第二， 以目前的形式来看，BBA三家都将大面积采用以轻混为主的动力配置，同时并不完全押宝在电动车上，而是依然将重点押在燃油为主的轻混车型上，当然这其中的原因，一方面是如果全面铺开电动车，那就是自己革自己的命，因为在电动车领域里，传统品牌大多数情况下并不如新品牌好使，对于这种老牌汽车厂家来说，反而容易得不偿失；另一方面则是PHEV类车型在我国和欧洲都算是算新能源车，只是国内目前对于PHEV插混车型的政策正在不断收紧，由于这种轻混车型由于不受电池成本的限制，又能够享受政策红利，所以对于厂家来说，他们在降低车辆油耗的同时，能有更强的议价权和控制成本的能力，还可以去满足更高的排放标准，并且有可能通过混动系统去打造出更强的动力。绝对是当下的首选方案。但是，当我们把奔驰这套全新的电气化动力系统扒开来看，你会发现它的本质其实就是通过“省油+长续航”和“高性能”这两条腿来走路，这一点是不是有些似曾相识的感觉？没错，这正是比亚迪已经做了很久的事情，比亚迪不就是“DM-P系统”走高性能路线，然后“DM-i系统”走省油+长续航路线么，所以奔驰这个玩法真的有些落后了，至少从我自己角度来看，确实没什么新意。而奔驰作为一个已经诞生一百多年的老同志，明显在看清未来趋势方面，还没有比亚迪高瞻远瞩。但是，奔驰这样的汽车界大佬，这一次显然自认为是有备而来，只是汽车市场里并不只有奔驰一家，别的厂家会不会进行“偷袭”也不好说。所以，好戏肯定还在后头。奔驰C级的对手们依照目前的市场情况来看，大多数去选择奔驰C级的客户，主要对比的其实就是奥迪A4L和宝马3系，还有一部分则是会去对比凯迪拉克的CT5、雷克萨斯ES、沃尔沃S60等等。那么，这些差不多价位的车，和奔驰新C级之间应该怎么选呢？我们先聊聊两个奔驰C级的死对头，也就是宝马3系和奥迪A4L。我们都知道，宝马3系是这三台车当中最早完成换代的车型，从过去的F3X变成了现在的G2X，这一代的宝马3系拥有BBA三家当中最长的轴距，也有相对而言更好的乘坐空间，这台车其实从上市到现在，一路价格都非常坚挺，甚至坚挺的有点不像宝马了，市场热度也是很高。撇开价格不谈，现在的宝马3系其实已经不像过去那样追求运动性，反而是逐步的在向舒适化靠拢，现在的宝马3系，不仅原厂全系减配了防倾杆，而且原厂避震也很软，你在开的时候会明显感觉车辆指向性虽然很好，悬架响应也很快，但软趴趴的悬挂，在劈弯的时候很难给你信心，以至于有一种方向盘告诉你可以，但是车身动态反馈告诉你慢一点的感觉。除此之外，2020年9月以后出厂的宝马所有车型，都进行了ECU加密，所以无法通过刷写ECU的方式进行动力升级，并且2020年11月以后的325Li车型，用的发动机改成了和320Li一样的B48C版本，要知道之前的325Li一直用的是B48D机头，和330的发动机一样。简单的说，你可以理解325以前是330的发动机降低了功率，现在是320的发动机调高了功率。有人问，这有什么差别呢，差别在于换装B48C之后，发动机的散热系统发生改变，B48C的散热是风冷+水冷，B48D是两个水箱散热，并且发动机的排气歧管进行了集成，整体性能相比B48D会弱一些……以至于网上都流传一个段子，说“E90是E46的后代，F30是很像奔驰的宝马，G20/G28则是宝马找奥迪代工出来的奔驰”，你品，你细品。而奥迪A4L这台车现在还没有换代，底盘依旧是代号B9的那一套，2016年上市，奥迪换代周期在6-7年，上次B8到B9的换代就经历了7年，所以下次B10换代估计在2022年-2023年。但是现款在售的A4L顶配45TFSI Quattro的运动性非常强，不仅配备了有别于普通A4L的运动底盘，并且在整体性能和硬件配置上也是压着宝马330和奔驰C300在打，加上后续的车辆改装潜力非常高，换言之就是如果不服，那就崩哭你。奥迪A4L的问题在于，买奥迪A4L的大多数人还是选择40TFSI版本的车辆，而A4L时尚版的车型（不管是35TFSI时尚动感型，还是40TFSI时尚动感/致雅型）都没有后排独立空调，也没有后排独立的空调出风口，这一点在日常使用的时候确实差点意思，不过价格合适啊，30万不到就可以落地。而上到40TFSI的豪华型，基本上该有的配置都有了，也就比时尚版贵2万左右，唯一需要纠结的就是选择前驱车型还是四驱车型，如果选择四驱，就再多掏2万。可能有些人说，我买A4L不是为了便宜，而是觉得现在的A4L反而是34C里面操控性最好的车型，所以我决定再等2年，等B10上市再入手。我劝各位早点打消这种想法，因为基本确定，后期B10车型要用MQB横置模块化平台替换掉现在的MLB Evo纵置模块化平台，换言之，下一代的操控性大概率不如现款，但是空间和舒适度应该会提升不少，到时候再配上三块屏的虚拟座舱，照样可以咔咔的收割钱包。如果用全新奔驰C级来和目前在售的宝马3系、奥迪A4L进行对比，其实就是打了一个时间差，因为宝马3系已经进行过大改款，近两年也不会有什么大动作，而奥迪A4L则是中期小改款刚结束没多久，前面我也说了，B10换代车型至少要在2022-2023年才能上市。所以，今年的全新奔驰C级只要不作死、不减配、该给优惠就给优惠，那销量肯定是蹭蹭蹭的往上涨，至于什么1.5T发动机动力弱，相信我，在小S面前，这些根本不是问题，你给这车配个1.3T发动机，价格再便宜2万，很多人也愿意买。撇开BBA三家不谈，目前市场上还有一个对手就是凯迪拉克CT5。凯迪拉克CT5最近销量也是节节攀升，虽然一直以来都被人调侃，认为是买不起BBA的才去选择凯迪拉克，这里我要帮他们说句公道话。不是买不起BBA，是买不起BB，也就是奔驰和宝马。奥迪不能算进去，因为奥迪A4L现在优惠后的价格，实际上与CT5差不多。CT5目前优惠5-5.5万，28T豪华落地28万出头。A4L 40时尚落地30万不到，其实是差不多的。能选择CT5的客户，绝对不是因为这一点价格差，更多是对凯迪拉克的真爱。凯迪拉克CT5也是最近才上了2021款车型，主要是在内饰和车机方面进行了一些小的提升。凯迪拉克CT5这台车相比BBA而言，其本身最大的优势主要在于性价比，能让你用更少的钱买到更好的配置，并且这台车的发动机不像BBA那样分高低功率，全系都是237马力/350牛米的发动机，只是百公里加速7.3s的成绩总让人觉得差点意思。但是，凯迪拉克CT5也有一些小问题，比如这台车的内饰相比于BBA而言确实差点意思，这一点不仅限于CT5，凯迪拉克全系车型（除了凯雷德）其实都有这个问题。再一个问题就是这台车的FOTA系统，这个问题我一直都很诟病，我总觉得是凯迪拉克用力过猛，而且还把力气用错了地方，因为大多数去选择凯迪拉克的车主，其实追求的就是运动性，现在这个237马力显然是不够格的，毕竟之前老款ATS-L都有279马力，加上凯迪拉克现在一个FOTA搞上去，使得现在的CT5无法像别的车型那样通过刷写ECU进行动力升级，只能默默地等待官方推送动力升级程序，但是官方到现在也没有动静；最后的问题就是配置不合理，当然这个配置指的不是舒适型配置，而是硬件配置，要知道过去的ATS-L全系标配前轮BREMBO四活塞刹车，但是到了现在的CT5反而变成了顶配才有，所以我就在想，即使是无法标配这些性能件，是否能够开放选装，该多少钱就多少钱呗。最后，奔驰C级其实还有一个对手，那就是雷克萨斯ES，有人说，不对啊，IS才是对标34C的车型，别急，听我说。目前IS新款还没上市，国内没有IS可买，但是ES200这款车的定价29-30.9万，一台进口的雷克萨斯ES，理论上车型定位还高于34C，裸车价不打折也就是3系、A4L、C级的价位，还送4年10万公里免费保修保养，你觉得吸不吸引人？雷克萨斯ES这台车的路数其实和凯迪拉克CT6、沃尔沃S90差不多，都是越级来打B级车市场，同时和C级车产生竞争关系，只不过凯迪拉克CT6和沃尔沃S90目前的优惠幅度非常大，而雷克萨斯ES则没有优惠，有不少地方直到现在都还是要加价提车，但是胜在定价不高（官方指导价29-40.9万）。假如真的有客户从ES200开始看起，说不定还会被混动洗脑，最终买了ES300h也说不定，到了豪华品牌混动领域，雷克萨斯几乎通杀四方，并且同等价位中雷克萨斯在主被动安全配置上给到的配置也算可以。但是，雷克萨斯ES这台车一直以来就像榴莲一样，两极分化非常严重，喜欢的人就特别喜欢，觉得舒适度好、保值率高、后期养护省心，但是不喜欢的人就嗤之以鼻，觉得就是个老年代步车，中控土了吧唧，车机难用的要命，最关键的是动力是个弱鸡。取消平民车？奔驰希望自己成为奢侈品之前在网上一直有传言，说奔驰希望自己成为奢侈品，把自己打造成汽车中的爱马仕。我不知道奔驰是怎么理解“奢侈品”这三个字的，因为在我看来，车和包、衣服、鞋子都不一样，价值基准也不一样，就算是几十万的奔驰车，其本质依然具备极强的工具属性，只有那些超豪车和超跑，才算是真正意义上的奢侈品，而奢侈品包包的价值更多体现的是社交属性，没有人在意一个爱马仕可以装多少东西。传言中，奔驰的做法是取消C级以下的所有车型，也就是说未来奔驰将没有30万以内的车，假如奔驰真的要这么做，我先不谈能不能成功，但也许能让奔驰离自己想象中的“奢侈品”更进一步。当然，奔驰也有自己的苦衷，毕竟等车辆电池和充电技术成熟之后，电动车的成本会进一步的大幅度降低（看看每年都在降价的特斯拉），而传统燃油车企在30万以内的市场去和电动车拼性价比，结局大概率是失败，这个问题在目前逐渐价格下沉的豪华品牌上会尤其明显，所以要么拼不过就加入电动大军，要么干脆放弃这部分市场打出价值差异化，奔驰的奢侈品路线倒是为所有豪华品牌提供了一个破局的思路。这景象像极了当年钟表业的石英危机，瑞士的机械手表在引以为豪的可靠和精准上，被来自日本的精工石英表打的毫无还手之力，要不是后来瑞士钟表业找到出路，将机械手表与奢侈品的概念牢牢捆绑，现在至少有一半的瑞士钟表品牌已经消失。但是活下来的，妥妥的都是奢侈品。这次的全新C级或许多少也受到了这种理念的影响，整台车看上去非常精致，现在这个年代不缺家境优渥的人，尤其在这两年疫情导致的通货膨胀基础上，手里有些资产的人反而越发有钱，今年南京的奢侈品店门口，排队的人比往年都多，而且每家店出来的人手里都提着大包小包。也许，看着更精致的奔驰，才能满足这些富裕阶级的使用需求和社交需求，只是这样一来，我们这样的普通人也许会离奔驰越来越远。你说对吗？*图片源自网络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，欢迎关注前段时间，我发了一个关于沃尔沃V90CC的微博，我说这台车的配置其实很不合理，沃尔沃V90CC智远版指导价44.79万，优惠后裸车价格38万不到，落地在43万左右，看着价格挺香，实际上这台车的配置非常不合理，因为在这个44.79万的智远版上面，还有一个55.69万元的高配智尊版，要知道V90CC在国内现在只有高低两个配置，所以就弄的人很迷惑，这两个版本之间差价怎么就能达到将近11万？关于这台车，我也是在身边做了一个小小的调研，并且也询问了一些买V90CC的客户，其实大多数车主都是更想要指导价55.69万的智尊版高配车型，因为那个版本配备的通风按摩座椅和宝华韦健音响确实有点香，可是后期维护费用较高的空气悬架又是他们不想要的，再者就是两个配置的差价确实太大了，所以V90CC这台车的矛盾点一下就出来了，那就是缺少一个折中的方案来满足消费者的需求，这就像你去火锅店吃饭，老板上来就告诉你，要么你就选个重麻重辣的锅底，要么你就来个清汤锅，而且还不让你自己加辣椒。所以，我总觉得沃尔沃完全可以再增加一个配置，去掉空气悬架、HUD抬头显示这类配置，然后弄一个指导价在50万以内的中配车型……于是我就把这个想法发到了微博上，发现下面就很多人在评论，我没想到这种小众的旅行车竟然还有如此之高的关注度，在我的印象当中，这种车型完全就是两极分化，喜欢的二话不说刷卡买回家，不喜欢的怎么说都不喜欢，而且回顾2020年的销量，沃尔沃V60和V90CC这两台旅行车其实一个月也就卖个一两百台，属于冷门车中的冷门车，所以今天借着这个话题，和各位好好的聊一聊旅行车。沃尔沃的V60与V90CC既然说到了沃尔沃，那自然是要先聊聊目前在售的沃尔沃旅行车，其实也就两台：V60和V90 cross country。首先是V60，这是基于S60设计的旅行车，也可以理解成S60的旅行版本，由于V60是进口车，所以它的指导价定在了30.43-39.58万，目前在售的V60分为197马力的2.0T低功率B4车型，以及250马力的2.0T高功率B5车型，共计四款配置可选，而和V60同根同源的S60则只需要28.69-38.09万。很多朋友第一次在看V60的时候，其实会发现这台车比S60贵不了多少，还是纯原装进口，顿时就觉得香喷喷，但实际上S60作为沃尔沃的走量车型，4S店已经放出了7-8万的优惠，而沃尔沃对V60的定调就是小众车，也有可能是沃尔沃明白没有多少人去买，所以直接采用了“官网直销”的模式，不跟你扯什么优惠不优惠的事情，想买就官网下单然后到店提车，要知道之前2019款的V60优惠能到6万左右，现在2021款虽然比2020款官降了3-4万，但是成交价没有优惠，这么一弄相当于变相涨价了2万。所以，沃尔沃V60和S60的价格实际差了接近10万，并且V60作为进口车，后续的维修价格也不便宜（至少在4S店修车是这样的），但实际上V60与S60的零配件共通程度非常高，有很多部分完全可以用S60的国产配件去替代V60的进口配件，所以去外面的修理厂维修，可以节省一大笔开销。尽管V60实际成交价格比国产后的S60高了不少，但是在硬性产品力上，沃尔沃V60并没有与S60拉开足够大的差距，如果你是一个理性的、务实的消费者，进口的V60相比国产的S60简直毫无性价比可言，但旅行车的玩家们通常都比较感性，所以也不太会死咬着性价比不放，毕竟在当下的市场环境里，大多数旅行车本身就不具备可比性，想要追求小众、玩调性，那钱包肯定是要付出一点代价的。那么如果单纯和市场在售同级别、同价位的旅行车、猎装车对比一下，V60的主要竞争对手有：29.98-38.18万的奔驰CLA猎跑车、36.08-39.28万的奔驰C级旅行轿车、34.98-38.98万的奥迪A4 Avant、41.88万的奥迪A4 ALLROAD……这些车型全部都是进口车。这里面，最凹造型的是CLA猎跑，但也是性价比最低的旅行车，一台紧凑型轿车的底子加上总共就两款配置可选，想省点钱买个29.98万的版本，那就只能得到一个可怜兮兮的1.3T发动机，想要2.0T发动机，那就得加钱去买38.18万的版本，同时它在奔驰的车型定位中属于猎跑车（这一点和之前CLS猎装版类似），所以车身线条从B柱开始急剧下溜，实用性注定没有传统的旅行车高，不过这台车确实很好看，猎跑造型、无框车门、较低的离地间隙……只是这凹造型的代价确实大了点。而A4 ALLROAD也是一个“异类”，allraod其实本身是旅行车在强化通过性之后的产物，类似斯巴鲁傲虎，但后者准确来说是介于旅行车和SUV之间的跨界车，目前在售的A4 ALLROAD只有41.88万一个配置可选，但它的三大件非常强悍：252马力的2.0T高功率发动机，搭配quattro ultra适时四驱系统，同时配置也不低，但就这个价格嘛……你懂的。撇开那两台车不谈，和V60一样同属正统旅行车的现在看来只有C级旅行轿车和A4 Avant，这两车路上的能见度都比V60要高一些。其中，奔驰的C级旅行目前全系配备1.5T发动机，分高低功率共计两款配置，其本身36.08万的起步价也比V60 2.0T高功率B5车型贵一点，毕竟车头前面的奔驰大标放在那儿，再加上进口车的身份，价格自然不会低。而A4 Avant配备的204马力-2.0T发动机也只能算是中功率，同时全系没有四驱，34.98万的起步价和V60的高功率B5车型相同，所以沃尔沃V60的优势似乎也只有从最低配开始就配备了主动安全配置，再往上又加入了ACC自适应巡航……这里面很多东西在C级旅行和A4 Avant上要么是选装项，要么干脆就没有，但如果你在这三款车中纠结，与其说是纠结它们的产品力，不如说更多纠结的是它们的品牌力。聊完了V60，接着我们再聊聊依然是全进口的V90CC，这台车在只上市了Cross Country的版本，最直观的区别就是那套越野轮眉和更高的离地间隙，不过现在可以在官网选择与车身同色的轮眉，但是如果你这样选配，那你只能选择“松林灰金属漆”。沃尔沃V90CC的配置也非常简单粗暴，总共就两款2.0T高功率的配置，44.79万的B5智远版和55.69万的B5智尊版，但是V90CC与V60不同，它并不是官网直销，你在4S店是可以看到它的，所以V90CC实际上有一定的优惠幅度，最低配的B5智远版优惠后38万不到，比原价销售的顶配V60还便宜，只不过目前国产S90的优惠幅度巨大，指导价40.69-50.59万，低配优惠后30万左右的裸车，怎么看V90CC都只能成为小众的选择。V90CC和S90的发动机与变速箱是一致的，全系250马力的高功率B系列发动机，带有48V轻混系统，匹配8AT变速箱，实际上V90CC与S90的区别，要远大于V60与S60的区别，因为V90CC有一套全时四驱系统，而目前国内在售的S90、V60和S60都是前驱车（其中S90和S60有T8版本的四驱车型），这也是沃尔沃的Cross Country或者奥迪的ALLROAD系列这种细分旅行车型与很多传统旅行车另一个明显区别。还有一个有意思的地方，V90CC的后悬架叫“多连杆式整体后桥”，而非S90上常见的多连杆式独立悬架，看图片像是板悬，但它通过叶片弹簧的设计，让桥式结构负责承载，由于下摆臂的存在，左右车轮可以互不干涉，所以依然保留了独立悬挂的特性。反观V90CC的竞争对手，目前只有奥迪45.28-47.98万的A6 Avant和56.98万的ALLROAD，放在前两年还有捷豹XF Sportbrake，也是一水的进口车。其中A6 Avant是目前市面上极其稀少的中大型旅行车，可惜只有190马力、2.0T低功率的40TFSI豪华动感型和245马力、2.0T高功率的45TFSI甄选动感型，奥迪依旧没有引入四驱版的Avant车型，说实话这车和V90CC并没有非常直接的竞争关系，无非就是与V90CC低配智远版有一定的价格重叠，只要见过实车，你就知道A6 Avant与V90CC的风格相差非常多，反而是和没有越野轮眉的V90能与A6 Avant产生一些竞争，只不过咱们在国内买不到V90。撇开A6 Avant这台车来看，奥迪旗下与V90CC有直接竞争关系的应该是A6 ALLROAD，同样都有越野轮眉套件、高通过性底盘、四驱系统、空气悬架……并且56.98万的指导价也与V90CC顶配智尊版的55.69万相似。至于这两台车怎么选，我觉得还真没什么好纠结的，因为买这种车子往往都是看“眼缘”，接下来才是对比配置和价格，换言之如果自己一眼就看中了，只要钱到位，那就是刷卡买单，其他的一概不管，愿意买旅行车的消费者往往就是这么“豪横”。什么是旅行车？聊了这么多关于旅行车的问题，我发现还有一个很有意思的事情，那就是很多人搞不清“什么是旅行车”，因为在目前市面上出现过的车型里，还有一种叫“猎装车”，长的样子其实和旅行车差不多，都是有一个大屁股在后面，然后车子做成两厢掀背的造型，从类型上来看，旅行车和猎装车似乎是同一种产品，但是，这两者之间其实有很大的差别。猎装车，英文名叫“shooting brake”，这个单词和“sedan”或者“coupe”这种法语词汇不一样，shooting brake是一个实实在在的英文单词，在19世纪的时候就已经用来表示能用来装猎枪和猎物的马车，主要用处就是过去欧洲的贵族在打猎的时候，需要自己的马车有独立的货箱来装猎枪和猎物。而真正意义上能称作是第一台猎装车的汽油车，很多人都认为应该是劳斯莱斯在1910年推出的Silver Ghost（银魅）。但是，我并不这么认为，因为那时候还没有所谓的两厢车、三厢车之类的概念，更不要说什么猎装车了，换言之所谓的车辆造型，直到二战之后才初现端倪，因为在二战之后，汽车制造商们才一改之前的“大屁股”车身，开始有了追求流线型和空气动力学的溜背造型，再往后才出现了两厢、三厢、掀背车的分类。所以，如果要细究猎装车的历史，我认为应该从二战之后的魔改车型开始，比如上世纪50年代~60年代的时候，很多专业的改装厂或者改装发烧友，自己给自己的跑车硬生生的加个屁股，所以就有了诸如“法拉利250 GT SWB Breadvan”这样的魔改车型，而这也为后来的猎装车奠定了最为基本的定义，那就是猎装车是基于双门轿跑车衍生而来的一种多功能车，并且动力强劲、后备箱有足够的空间。总的来说，猎装车从诞生到发展至今，一直都有一丝所谓的“上流社会”的味道在里面，而旅行车则与之相反，它所拥有的更多是老百姓们的辛酸泪，因为wagon这个单词的由来，其实就是指代一个能装足够多的人和货的工具车。比如在19世纪美国“西进运动”的时候，无数的美国人揣着自己的家当和所谓的梦想，坐上了前往西部的wagon，只不过那会儿的wagon还是用马在拉车，所以想知道车子的动力怎么样，很简单，数数前面有几匹马就知道了。值得一提的是，“西进运动”其实是一件充满了血和泪的故事，大批印第安原住民因此遭到屠杀，幸存下来的印第安人则被赶到了更荒凉的地方（当时称作“保留地”），感兴趣的朋友可以看一下斯皮尔伯格拍的《西部风云》，里面的故事背景就是当年的西进运动。到了20世纪20年代，广大劳动人民开始用汽车的动力总成来替代马匹，再用汽车的车厢来替代马车的车厢，于是我们现在熟悉的wagon车型就问世了，由于wagon的车厢内部结构比较规整，能最大限度的装人和拉东西，所以成为了火车站或者港口附近的运输利器，这也是为什么wagon在一开始被称作“station wagon”，因为“station”翻译过来就是“站点”，意思就是在站点那儿拉人拖货的工具车，什么超载、人货混装……在当年那都不叫事儿，他们恨不得像印度那样给你再卖个挂票，毕竟大家都得吃饭，能多装点东西就能多收点钱。到了二战结束以后，由于猎装车高高在上的腔调和售价，使得很多老百姓根本触摸不到，但那时候又没有SUV车型（只有越野车），老百姓们又有装载和出行的需求，加上那会儿高速路铺天盖地的修（以欧洲和美国为主），于是基于四门轿车打造而来、空间更大、价格更低的旅行车就登上了历史舞台，那时候的人们也很好分辨，两个门的基本上就是猎装车，四个门的那就是旅行车。旅行车的历史就这样一路发展下来，当时的旅行车不论前驱、后驱还是四驱，不管你动力好与不好，人们还是更多会去在意空间够不够全家出游，后备箱能不能装下一家老小的东西，这也是为什么我们看到的很多过去的旅行车（比如桑塔纳旅行版）都有一个硕大的“屁股”，其原因就是为了满足装载需要。但是，有些汽车厂商就不喜欢按套路出牌，在20世纪70年代中期，沃尔沃出手了，当时的沃尔沃还没有被吉利收购，那会儿他们推出了一台名叫“P1800 ES”的车型，彻底打破了猎装车和旅行车的定义。从名字上来看，沃尔沃P1800 ES中的ES应该是旅行车estate的缩写，但是这辆车恰好又是一辆偏向运动的车型，因为它的本质是P1800 coupe，所以这台车跟以前人们常见的猎装车一样都是两个门，后来沃尔沃“再接再厉”的又推了一台“沃尔沃480 ES”，那台车其实摆到今天来看就像个双门跳灯版富康，但是人家沃尔沃却叫它旅行车，为此，前沃尔沃当家设计大师彼得·霍布里还特地给猎装车下了一个定义：“猎装车是三门掀背，但又不是矮胖的普通两厢车，而是修长优雅的轿跑风”。时至今日，没有人能猜到彼得·霍布里为什么要说这样的话，是不是在为沃尔沃洗地也不好说，只不过后来的旅行车的日子一天不如一天，因为SUV车型开始在历史上崭露头角，逐渐取代了人们对于旅行车的偏好，毕竟SUV的离地间隙要远高于旅行车或者猎装车，在日常使用层面的实用性更强，随着后来城市SUV进入人们的视野，旅行车或者猎装车逐渐就成为了小众的选择。如果说彼得·霍布里的一席话只是解读了他所认为的猎装车，那么奔驰则是用自家在2012年发布的CLS猎装版，以实际行动打破了以往猎装车的“规矩”，自此猎装车和旅行车的概念彻底混乱。先前的沃尔沃P1800 ES自称旅行车却是一台两门车，而奔驰CLS猎装版自称“猎装车”却有四个门……以至于在我看来，目前还能实实在在称作猎装车的，似乎也只剩下法拉利FF和GTC 4 Lusso了。而旅行车发展到现在，各家其实也都有了各家自己的名字，不再局限于过去wagon的叫法，甚至连旅行车都不再拘泥于过去的形制。从名字上来说，奔驰把自家旅行车称作Estate、奥迪称作Avant、宝马叫Touring、雪铁龙叫Tourer、标致叫SW、雷诺叫MCV、斯柯达叫Combi（之前国内在售的明锐Combi就是一台很原汁原味的旅行车，可惜生不逢时）、大众叫variant、欧宝叫Caravan……而在形制上，现在除了传统的旅行车的设计之外，各家厂商的花样也是越来越多，比如才进国内没多久的新款奔驰CLA猎跑车（Shooting Brake），其本质还是一个旅行车，只是冠用了猎装车的名号，又比如沃尔沃V90 Cross Country、奥迪A4 ALLROAD、A6 ALLROAD这种加高底盘离地间隙的旅行车，再比如斯巴鲁傲虎这种SUV和旅行车的跨界结合，以及类似大众CC猎装版这种四不像车型……以目前的在售新车来看（二手车不算），咱们能买到的最贵的旅行车，应该就是“Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Tourismo”，这也应该算是出厂性能最强的旅行车了，起售价238.5万，算上选配和其他费用，落地价格突破300万属于常规操作；而咱们能买到的最便宜的旅行车，那应该是“宝骏310W”，这车指导价只要5.28万-7.28万，其实就是在宝骏310的基础上硬生生的加了个“大屁股”。“旅行”的意义在充分了解什么是旅行车之后，肯定有朋友在心里会发问：买旅行车的的意义在哪里？首先，我们都知道旅行车的价格，普遍略高于正常版本的车辆。比如之前2018款的大众蔚揽，起售指导价就订到了24.38万，而如果你想真正体验到蔚揽这台车，最起码也要买个39.28万的四驱纵行版，更别说再往上的顶配四驱拓行版定价达到了40.08万……我相信，绝大多数人在看到这个价格之后，其实心里就已经把旅行车给PASS掉了，毕竟同根同源的迈腾在当年的售价只要18.99万-31.69万。其次，现在很多厂家其实根本就没有搞懂真正的旅行车消费者要的是什么，甚至可以说是“揣着明白装糊涂”。比如奥迪A4 Avant在海外有高功率2.0T发动机+四驱版本，但是到了国内就只有低功率2.0T发动机+前驱版本，想要四驱车型，那不好意思，你只能去买A4 ALLROAD这种车，假使奥迪把自家A4 Avant高功四驱版车型拉到国内来，然后定的价格和A4 ALLROAD差不多，我都不提什么选配空气悬挂、20寸轮毂之类的事情，只要来个高功四驱的A4 Avant，销量肯定比现在的A4 Avant要好。我们都知道，真正去买旅行车的客户，多多少少都是有点情怀的，并且是有自己需求点的，像CC猎装版、福克斯猎装版这些车子，厂家偏要加一圈越野轮眉，还把底盘还给抬高，强行去蹭SUV车型的名头，弄个什么所谓的“跨界风”，我就想问问有几个旅行车爱好者是喜欢这个的？要知道，喜欢旅行车的人，他们想要的是更加优雅一些的车身，而不是好好的一台车给加上了一圈“傻大黑粗”的越野轮眉，使得好好的“潘安”变成了“张飞”。当然，这种越野轮眉并不是说没有办法解决，目前像诸如A4 ALLROAD这样的车，国内已经有包围厂商推出了去除轮眉版的包围件，包含了前保总成、后保总成、侧裙和叶子板，当然后叶子板那块还得自己补腻子，因为后轮眉拆掉之后会有卡扣留下的洞……如果觉得这样的做法费用较高的话，也有便宜一点的方法，那就是去贴个改色膜，把这套轮眉包裹住，或者是找个修理厂做个与车身同色的油漆，甚至可以通过刮腻子的方法把轮眉和车身的接缝盖住，从而打造出一种类似于宽体的效果。最后，旅行车其实并不符合咱们绝大多数消费者的用车需求。旅行车在海外市场能够发展至今，其本身的优势在于空间大、装载能力强，但是国内现在很多车型都进行了加长，以奔驰C级长轴轿车和C级旅行版为例，普通轿车版本的轴距达到了2920mm，但是旅行版的轴距只有2840mm，和标轴版的C级一样，所以空间大这种优势直接荡然无存，唯一剩下的优点就是后备箱能装的东西多，可是如果你去选择SUV车型，不仅能有差不多的装载空间，而且还能有更高一些的离地间隙，通过性也会比正常的旅行车要好很多。放在当下的环境来看，我们撇开奥迪RS4、RS6这种披着旅行车外衣的性能车不谈，就单单去聊一下正常的旅行车，我思考了半天，觉得买旅行车的意义只有两个：1. 旅行车拥有和SUV差不多的装载力，但是有更低的离地间隙，从而获得相对好一些的驾驶体验；2. 通过对小众车型的拥有，可以彰显自己与众不同的品位与追求，说的再直白点就是可以“装X”。写在最后总的来说，旅行车在国内销量遇冷，我觉得属于意料之中的事情，因为这种车辆确实不太符合我们的国情，也不是很符合大多数老百姓的需求。想追求驾驶和操控的客户，不会去选择旅行车，毕竟还有那么多主打运动车辆摆在面前，普通的旅行车拖个大屁股在后面，也很难去说运动性能有多好；而追求实用的客户，也很难从旅行车身上看到完全碾压SUV车型的地方，甚至可以说SUV车型的实用程度会高于不少旅行车……加上现在国内能买到的旅行车本来就很少，价格相对于同级别的SUV或者轿车来说会高一些，并且有不少旅行车进入国内之后直接进行“反向操作”，一改之前的优美造型，所以几方面因素一叠加，自然很难打动大多数消费者的心。毕竟，情怀无价，但买车是真要花钱的，如果这个买车的钱还不是自己出，那势必更要去考量他人的看法和需求，而不是由着自己的喜好来买车。*图片源自网络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，欢迎关注前段时间，我发了一个关于沃尔沃V90CC的微博，我说这台车的配置其实很不合理，沃尔沃V90CC智远版指导价44.79万，优惠后裸车价格38万不到，落地在43万左右，看着价格挺香，实际上这台车的配置非常不合理，因为在这个44.79万的智远版上面，还有一个55.69万元的高配智尊版，要知道V90CC在国内现在只有高低两个配置，所以就弄的人很迷惑，这两个版本之间差价怎么就能达到将近11万？关于这台车，我也是在身边做了一个小小的调研，并且也询问了一些买V90CC的客户，其实大多数车主都是更想要指导价55.69万的智尊版高配车型，因为那个版本配备的通风按摩座椅和宝华韦健音响确实有点香，可是后期维护费用较高的空气悬架又是他们不想要的，再者就是两个配置的差价确实太大了，所以V90CC这台车的矛盾点一下就出来了，那就是缺少一个折中的方案来满足消费者的需求，这就像你去火锅店吃饭，老板上来就告诉你，要么你就选个重麻重辣的锅底，要么你就来个清汤锅，而且还不让你自己加辣椒。所以，我总觉得沃尔沃完全可以再增加一个配置，去掉空气悬架、HUD抬头显示这类配置，然后弄一个指导价在50万以内的中配车型……于是我就把这个想法发到了微博上，发现下面就很多人在评论，我没想到这种小众的旅行车竟然还有如此之高的关注度，在我的印象当中，这种车型完全就是两极分化，喜欢的二话不说刷卡买回家，不喜欢的怎么说都不喜欢，而且回顾2020年的销量，沃尔沃V60和V90CC这两台旅行车其实一个月也就卖个一两百台，属于冷门车中的冷门车，所以今天借着这个话题，和各位好好的聊一聊旅行车。沃尔沃的V60与V90CC既然说到了沃尔沃，那自然是要先聊聊目前在售的沃尔沃旅行车，其实也就两台：V60和V90 cross country。首先是V60，这是基于S60设计的旅行车，也可以理解成S60的旅行版本，由于V60是进口车，所以它的指导价定在了30.43-39.58万，目前在售的V60分为197马力的2.0T低功率B4车型，以及250马力的2.0T高功率B5车型，共计四款配置可选，而和V60同根同源的S60则只需要28.69-38.09万。很多朋友第一次在看V60的时候，其实会发现这台车比S60贵不了多少，还是纯原装进口，顿时就觉得香喷喷，但实际上S60作为沃尔沃的走量车型，4S店已经放出了7-8万的优惠，而沃尔沃对V60的定调就是小众车，也有可能是沃尔沃明白没有多少人去买，所以直接采用了“官网直销”的模式，不跟你扯什么优惠不优惠的事情，想买就官网下单然后到店提车，要知道之前2019款的V60优惠能到6万左右，现在2021款虽然比2020款官降了3-4万，但是成交价没有优惠，这么一弄相当于变相涨价了2万。所以，沃尔沃V60和S60的价格实际差了接近10万，并且V60作为进口车，后续的维修价格也不便宜（至少在4S店修车是这样的），但实际上V60与S60的零配件共通程度非常高，有很多部分完全可以用S60的国产配件去替代V60的进口配件，所以去外面的修理厂维修，可以节省一大笔开销。尽管V60实际成交价格比国产后的S60高了不少，但是在硬性产品力上，沃尔沃V60并没有与S60拉开足够大的差距，如果你是一个理性的、务实的消费者，进口的V60相比国产的S60简直毫无性价比可言，但旅行车的玩家们通常都比较感性，所以也不太会死咬着性价比不放，毕竟在当下的市场环境里，大多数旅行车本身就不具备可比性，想要追求小众、玩调性，那钱包肯定是要付出一点代价的。那么如果单纯和市场在售同级别、同价位的旅行车、猎装车对比一下，V60的主要竞争对手有：29.98-38.18万的奔驰CLA猎跑车、36.08-39.28万的奔驰C级旅行轿车、34.98-38.98万的奥迪A4 Avant、41.88万的奥迪A4 ALLROAD……这些车型全部都是进口车。这里面，最凹造型的是CLA猎跑，但也是性价比最低的旅行车，一台紧凑型轿车的底子加上总共就两款配置可选，想省点钱买个29.98万的版本，那就只能得到一个可怜兮兮的1.3T发动机，想要2.0T发动机，那就得加钱去买38.18万的版本，同时它在奔驰的车型定位中属于猎跑车（这一点和之前CLS猎装版类似），所以车身线条从B柱开始急剧下溜，实用性注定没有传统的旅行车高，不过这台车确实很好看，猎跑造型、无框车门、较低的离地间隙……只是这凹造型的代价确实大了点。而A4 ALLROAD也是一个“异类”，allraod其实本身是旅行车在强化通过性之后的产物，类似斯巴鲁傲虎，但后者准确来说是介于旅行车和SUV之间的跨界车，目前在售的A4 ALLROAD只有41.88万一个配置可选，但它的三大件非常强悍：252马力的2.0T高功率发动机，搭配quattro ultra适时四驱系统，同时配置也不低，但就这个价格嘛……你懂的。撇开那两台车不谈，和V60一样同属正统旅行车的现在看来只有C级旅行轿车和A4 Avant，这两车路上的能见度都比V60要高一些。其中，奔驰的C级旅行目前全系配备1.5T发动机，分高低功率共计两款配置，其本身36.08万的起步价也比V60 2.0T高功率B5车型贵一点，毕竟车头前面的奔驰大标放在那儿，再加上进口车的身份，价格自然不会低。而A4 Avant配备的204马力-2.0T发动机也只能算是中功率，同时全系没有四驱，34.98万的起步价和V60的高功率B5车型相同，所以沃尔沃V60的优势似乎也只有从最低配开始就配备了主动安全配置，再往上又加入了ACC自适应巡航……这里面很多东西在C级旅行和A4 Avant上要么是选装项，要么干脆就没有，但如果你在这三款车中纠结，与其说是纠结它们的产品力，不如说更多纠结的是它们的品牌力。聊完了V60，接着我们再聊聊依然是全进口的V90CC，这台车在只上市了Cross Country的版本，最直观的区别就是那套越野轮眉和更高的离地间隙，不过现在可以在官网选择与车身同色的轮眉，但是如果你这样选配，那你只能选择“松林灰金属漆”。沃尔沃V90CC的配置也非常简单粗暴，总共就两款2.0T高功率的配置，44.79万的B5智远版和55.69万的B5智尊版，但是V90CC与V60不同，它并不是官网直销，你在4S店是可以看到它的，所以V90CC实际上有一定的优惠幅度，最低配的B5智远版优惠后38万不到，比原价销售的顶配V60还便宜，只不过目前国产S90的优惠幅度巨大，指导价40.69-50.59万，低配优惠后30万左右的裸车，怎么看V90CC都只能成为小众的选择。V90CC和S90的发动机与变速箱是一致的，全系250马力的高功率B系列发动机，带有48V轻混系统，匹配8AT变速箱，实际上V90CC与S90的区别，要远大于V60与S60的区别，因为V90CC有一套全时四驱系统，而目前国内在售的S90、V60和S60都是前驱车（其中S90和S60有T8版本的四驱车型），这也是沃尔沃的Cross Country或者奥迪的ALLROAD系列这种细分旅行车型与很多传统旅行车另一个明显区别。还有一个有意思的地方，V90CC的后悬架叫“多连杆式整体后桥”，而非S90上常见的多连杆式独立悬架，看图片像是板悬，但它通过叶片弹簧的设计，让桥式结构负责承载，由于下摆臂的存在，左右车轮可以互不干涉，所以依然保留了独立悬挂的特性。反观V90CC的竞争对手，目前只有奥迪45.28-47.98万的A6 Avant和56.98万的ALLROAD，放在前两年还有捷豹XF Sportbrake，也是一水的进口车。其中A6 Avant是目前市面上极其稀少的中大型旅行车，可惜只有190马力、2.0T低功率的40TFSI豪华动感型和245马力、2.0T高功率的45TFSI甄选动感型，奥迪依旧没有引入四驱版的Avant车型，说实话这车和V90CC并没有非常直接的竞争关系，无非就是与V90CC低配智远版有一定的价格重叠，只要见过实车，你就知道A6 Avant与V90CC的风格相差非常多，反而是和没有越野轮眉的V90能与A6 Avant产生一些竞争，只不过咱们在国内买不到V90。撇开A6 Avant这台车来看，奥迪旗下与V90CC有直接竞争关系的应该是A6 ALLROAD，同样都有越野轮眉套件、高通过性底盘、四驱系统、空气悬架……并且56.98万的指导价也与V90CC顶配智尊版的55.69万相似。至于这两台车怎么选，我觉得还真没什么好纠结的，因为买这种车子往往都是看“眼缘”，接下来才是对比配置和价格，换言之如果自己一眼就看中了，只要钱到位，那就是刷卡买单，其他的一概不管，愿意买旅行车的消费者往往就是这么“豪横”。什么是旅行车？聊了这么多关于旅行车的问题，我发现还有一个很有意思的事情，那就是很多人搞不清“什么是旅行车”，因为在目前市面上出现过的车型里，还有一种叫“猎装车”，长的样子其实和旅行车差不多，都是有一个大屁股在后面，然后车子做成两厢掀背的造型，从类型上来看，旅行车和猎装车似乎是同一种产品，但是，这两者之间其实有很大的差别。猎装车，英文名叫“shooting brake”，这个单词和“sedan”或者“coupe”这种法语词汇不一样，shooting brake是一个实实在在的英文单词，在19世纪的时候就已经用来表示能用来装猎枪和猎物的马车，主要用处就是过去欧洲的贵族在打猎的时候，需要自己的马车有独立的货箱来装猎枪和猎物。而真正意义上能称作是第一台猎装车的汽油车，很多人都认为应该是劳斯莱斯在1910年推出的Silver Ghost（银魅）。但是，我并不这么认为，因为那时候还没有所谓的两厢车、三厢车之类的概念，更不要说什么猎装车了，换言之所谓的车辆造型，直到二战之后才初现端倪，因为在二战之后，汽车制造商们才一改之前的“大屁股”车身，开始有了追求流线型和空气动力学的溜背造型，再往后才出现了两厢、三厢、掀背车的分类。所以，如果要细究猎装车的历史，我认为应该从二战之后的魔改车型开始，比如上世纪50年代~60年代的时候，很多专业的改装厂或者改装发烧友，自己给自己的跑车硬生生的加个屁股，所以就有了诸如“法拉利250 GT SWB Breadvan”这样的魔改车型，而这也为后来的猎装车奠定了最为基本的定义，那就是猎装车是基于双门轿跑车衍生而来的一种多功能车，并且动力强劲、后备箱有足够的空间。总的来说，猎装车从诞生到发展至今，一直都有一丝所谓的“上流社会”的味道在里面，而旅行车则与之相反，它所拥有的更多是老百姓们的辛酸泪，因为wagon这个单词的由来，其实就是指代一个能装足够多的人和货的工具车。比如在19世纪美国“西进运动”的时候，无数的美国人揣着自己的家当和所谓的梦想，坐上了前往西部的wagon，只不过那会儿的wagon还是用马在拉车，所以想知道车子的动力怎么样，很简单，数数前面有几匹马就知道了。值得一提的是，“西进运动”其实是一件充满了血和泪的故事，大批印第安原住民因此遭到屠杀，幸存下来的印第安人则被赶到了更荒凉的地方（当时称作“保留地”），感兴趣的朋友可以看一下斯皮尔伯格拍的《西部风云》，里面的故事背景就是当年的西进运动。到了20世纪20年代，广大劳动人民开始用汽车的动力总成来替代马匹，再用汽车的车厢来替代马车的车厢，于是我们现在熟悉的wagon车型就问世了，由于wagon的车厢内部结构比较规整，能最大限度的装人和拉东西，所以成为了火车站或者港口附近的运输利器，这也是为什么wagon在一开始被称作“station wagon”，因为“station”翻译过来就是“站点”，意思就是在站点那儿拉人拖货的工具车，什么超载、人货混装……在当年那都不叫事儿，他们恨不得像印度那样给你再卖个挂票，毕竟大家都得吃饭，能多装点东西就能多收点钱。到了二战结束以后，由于猎装车高高在上的腔调和售价，使得很多老百姓根本触摸不到，但那时候又没有SUV车型（只有越野车），老百姓们又有装载和出行的需求，加上那会儿高速路铺天盖地的修（以欧洲和美国为主），于是基于四门轿车打造而来、空间更大、价格更低的旅行车就登上了历史舞台，那时候的人们也很好分辨，两个门的基本上就是猎装车，四个门的那就是旅行车。旅行车的历史就这样一路发展下来，当时的旅行车不论前驱、后驱还是四驱，不管你动力好与不好，人们还是更多会去在意空间够不够全家出游，后备箱能不能装下一家老小的东西，这也是为什么我们看到的很多过去的旅行车（比如桑塔纳旅行版）都有一个硕大的“屁股”，其原因就是为了满足装载需要。但是，有些汽车厂商就不喜欢按套路出牌，在20世纪70年代中期，沃尔沃出手了，当时的沃尔沃还没有被吉利收购，那会儿他们推出了一台名叫“P1800 ES”的车型，彻底打破了猎装车和旅行车的定义。从名字上来看，沃尔沃P1800 ES中的ES应该是旅行车estate的缩写，但是这辆车恰好又是一辆偏向运动的车型，因为它的本质是P1800 coupe，所以这台车跟以前人们常见的猎装车一样都是两个门，后来沃尔沃“再接再厉”的又推了一台“沃尔沃480 ES”，那台车其实摆到今天来看就像个双门跳灯版富康，但是人家沃尔沃却叫它旅行车，为此，前沃尔沃当家设计大师彼得·霍布里还特地给猎装车下了一个定义：“猎装车是三门掀背，但又不是矮胖的普通两厢车，而是修长优雅的轿跑风”。时至今日，没有人能猜到彼得·霍布里为什么要说这样的话，是不是在为沃尔沃洗地也不好说，只不过后来的旅行车的日子一天不如一天，因为SUV车型开始在历史上崭露头角，逐渐取代了人们对于旅行车的偏好，毕竟SUV的离地间隙要远高于旅行车或者猎装车，在日常使用层面的实用性更强，随着后来城市SUV进入人们的视野，旅行车或者猎装车逐渐就成为了小众的选择。如果说彼得·霍布里的一席话只是解读了他所认为的猎装车，那么奔驰则是用自家在2012年发布的CLS猎装版，以实际行动打破了以往猎装车的“规矩”，自此猎装车和旅行车的概念彻底混乱。先前的沃尔沃P1800 ES自称旅行车却是一台两门车，而奔驰CLS猎装版自称“猎装车”却有四个门……以至于在我看来，目前还能实实在在称作猎装车的，似乎也只剩下法拉利FF和GTC 4 Lusso了。而旅行车发展到现在，各家其实也都有了各家自己的名字，不再局限于过去wagon的叫法，甚至连旅行车都不再拘泥于过去的形制。从名字上来说，奔驰把自家旅行车称作Estate、奥迪称作Avant、宝马叫Touring、雪铁龙叫Tourer、标致叫SW、雷诺叫MCV、斯柯达叫Combi（之前国内在售的明锐Combi就是一台很原汁原味的旅行车，可惜生不逢时）、大众叫variant、欧宝叫Caravan……而在形制上，现在除了传统的旅行车的设计之外，各家厂商的花样也是越来越多，比如才进国内没多久的新款奔驰CLA猎跑车（Shooting Brake），其本质还是一个旅行车，只是冠用了猎装车的名号，又比如沃尔沃V90 Cross Country、奥迪A4 ALLROAD、A6 ALLROAD这种加高底盘离地间隙的旅行车，再比如斯巴鲁傲虎这种SUV和旅行车的跨界结合，以及类似大众CC猎装版这种四不像车型……以目前的在售新车来看（二手车不算），咱们能买到的最贵的旅行车，应该就是“Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Tourismo”，这也应该算是出厂性能最强的旅行车了，起售价238.5万，算上选配和其他费用，落地价格突破300万属于常规操作；而咱们能买到的最便宜的旅行车，那应该是“宝骏310W”，这车指导价只要5.28万-7.28万，其实就是在宝骏310的基础上硬生生的加了个“大屁股”。“旅行”的意义在充分了解什么是旅行车之后，肯定有朋友在心里会发问：买旅行车的的意义在哪里？首先，我们都知道旅行车的价格，普遍略高于正常版本的车辆。比如之前2018款的大众蔚揽，起售指导价就订到了24.38万，而如果你想真正体验到蔚揽这台车，最起码也要买个39.28万的四驱纵行版，更别说再往上的顶配四驱拓行版定价达到了40.08万……我相信，绝大多数人在看到这个价格之后，其实心里就已经把旅行车给PASS掉了，毕竟同根同源的迈腾在当年的售价只要18.99万-31.69万。其次，现在很多厂家其实根本就没有搞懂真正的旅行车消费者要的是什么，甚至可以说是“揣着明白装糊涂”。比如奥迪A4 Avant在海外有高功率2.0T发动机+四驱版本，但是到了国内就只有低功率2.0T发动机+前驱版本，想要四驱车型，那不好意思，你只能去买A4 ALLROAD这种车，假使奥迪把自家A4 Avant高功四驱版车型拉到国内来，然后定的价格和A4 ALLROAD差不多，我都不提什么选配空气悬挂、20寸轮毂之类的事情，只要来个高功四驱的A4 Avant，销量肯定比现在的A4 Avant要好。我们都知道，真正去买旅行车的客户，多多少少都是有点情怀的，并且是有自己需求点的，像CC猎装版、福克斯猎装版这些车子，厂家偏要加一圈越野轮眉，还把底盘还给抬高，强行去蹭SUV车型的名头，弄个什么所谓的“跨界风”，我就想问问有几个旅行车爱好者是喜欢这个的？要知道，喜欢旅行车的人，他们想要的是更加优雅一些的车身，而不是好好的一台车给加上了一圈“傻大黑粗”的越野轮眉，使得好好的“潘安”变成了“张飞”。当然，这种越野轮眉并不是说没有办法解决，目前像诸如A4

Show #872 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 20th 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. PORSCHE TAYCAN TO FEATURE PLUG&CHARGE AND DOWNLOADABLE UPGRADES "Starting in October, there will be numerous innovations for the Porsche Taycan at the change of the model year. The new Plug & Charge function allows for automated charging and payment without a card or app. Other innovations include Functions on Demand, FoD, and faster acceleration. Physical changes include a colour head-up display and an on-board charger with a charging capacity of up to 22 kW. " says electrive: "Plug-and-Charge based on ISO standard 15118 enables the charging process to start automatically. So far, Plug & Charge is already operational at Ionity charging stations in Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Italy and the Czech Republic. Twelve more European countries will follow at the start of 2021, according to Porsche. In the US and Canada, Plug & Charge will also be available from Electrify America and Electrify Canada at “many charging points” as of the start of 2021. Drivers may choose to subscribe or else opt-in for certain functions online. Other new FoDs include automated driving features such as Active Lane Keep Assist that keeps the vehicle in the centre of the lane with continuous steering intervention. InnoDrive adapts the speed to the conditions ahead. Both functions are available for a fee of 19.50 euro per month or 808.10 euro each as a purchase option. " And as per Autocar: "Also new for the 2021 model year is a battery preservation function that restricts charging capacity where appropriate to reduce power loss. At an 800v Ionity rapid-charging station, for example, drivers can slow the charging speed from 270kW to around 200kW using a new charging mode selector on the central display. The Taycan can also now be specified with a power guard function, which prevents a system overload when charging domestically and allows for it to be charged using excess electricity generated by a building’s solar panels. " https://www.electrive.com/2020/08/19/my21-porsche-taycan-comes-with-plug-and-charge-plus-fod/ https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2021-porsche-taycan-gains-wireless-upgrades-and-new-options LUCID AIR WILL BE FASTEST CHARGING EV: ADDS 300 MILES OF RANGE IN 20 MINUTES "We recently learned the Air has an estimated 517-mile driving range (by EPA testing standards). That, combined with the fast-charging ability of being able to accept over 300 kW of power, will make the Air an excellent choice for long road trips." says InsideEVs: "The Lucid has the best of both worlds. It can charge at the highest rate of any EV, and it is also one of the most efficient EVs. That combination makes it the fastest-charging EV, as it can recharge at a rate of roughly 20 miles of range per minute of charging. Lucid's extraordinarily high charging rate is possible because of its 900V electrical architecture, including custom lithium-ion battery cells, a highly sophisticated battery (BMS), and thermal management system (TMS), as well as the Lucid Air’s powertrain efficiency. As for AC charging, Lucid is also pushing the limits and is equipping the Air with a 19.2 kW onboard charger which can replenish 80 miles of range per hour." https://insideevs.com/news/439835/lucid-air-fastest-charging-ev/ LUCID AIR WILL OFFER VEHICLE TO GRID POWER "The company is also developing a home charger that it claims will be “the first AC charging stations with bi-directional charging ever offered.” Most EV chargers are unidirectional, meaning electricity flows from the electrical grid to the vehicle. Lucid claims its chargers will flow two ways, thus bidirectional. This will allow customers to use their Lucid Air to power their homes or “off-grid vacation properties,” Lucid Motors said." says The Verge. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/19/21375308/lucid-motors-air-ev-charging-time-miles-minutes PANASONIC TO INVEST $100M IN EV BATTERY PLANT IN US FOR TESLA. "Panasonic will boost production capacity of batteries for Tesla next year in an investment expected to exceed $100 million, Nikkei learned on Wednesday." writes Nikkei today: "The investment will be made in Gigafactory 1, a battery plant in the U.S. state of Nevada with 13 production lines. Panasonic will add another line, increasing capacity by 10% to 39 gigawatt-hours per year. This is the first capacity expansion at Gigafactory since it opened in 2017. Panasonic is also upgrading the batteries being produced at Gigafactory, raising each battery's storage capacity by 5%, starting in September. With annual production capacity set to exceed 1 million vehicles next year, the capacity for battery production is also likely to increase, Panasonic officials say." https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Panasonic-to-invest-100m-in-EV-battery-plant-in-US-for-Tesla POLESTAR CONFIRMS WESTFIELD LONDON AS ITS FIRST UK SPACE "Polestar has announced the location of its first UK Space, located in Westfield London. Also known as Westfield White City or Westfield Shepherds Bush, the largest shopping centre in Europe was an obvious choice of location for the growing Swedish electric performance brand." according to Conceptcarz.com: "The Westfield Space is situated at the heart of where people go to shop and relax, for a seamless and hassle-free customer journey. Minimalist design and integrated digital interactivity ensure the product remains the focus. Non-commissioned Polestar Specialists are there to inform consumers about the brand and its products before moving to the brand's website to order their car directly from the Swedish manufacturer" https://www.conceptcarz.com/a38409/polestar-westfield-london-uk.aspx SECOND PLUG-IN HYBRID JOINS VOLVO XC40 LINE-UP "Arriving ahead of the early 2021 launch of the fully electric XC40, the new XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T4 joins the existing Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T5. The T4 plug-in hybrid brings a lower-powered and priced alternative to the T5, opening up plug-in hybrid technology to a wider market. It uses a 129hp 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine and an 82hp electric motor with seven-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The 10.7kWh rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides an all-electric range of up to 27 miles" reports Fleet World: "Its sub-£40,000 price tag also means the Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T4 avoids the £325 Vehicle Excise Duty surcharge. It’s available in R-Design and Inscription equipment grades, priced from £39,130 on the road and starts first deliveries to UK customers from October 2020." https://fleetworld.co.uk/second-plug-in-hybrid-joins-volvo-xc40-line-up-as-diesels-exit/ VOLVO CUTS PRICES ON PLUG-IN HYBRID LINEUP ". According to an early order guide, prices for 2021 Recharge T8 plug-in hybrids can be up to $7,750 cheaper than 2020 models. The most significant price change is found on the S60 T8 sedan as a new entry-level model is available starting at $48,645 (including destination) which is $7,750 less than the 2020 entry-level model. " writes Carsdirect.com: "Given that the price cut is only on the PHEV models, this moves the price point much closer to the T5 and T6 gasoline versions. In the case of the S60, the R-Design Expression (the new entry-level plug-in hybrid model) is available as low as $43,226 after accounting for the federal tax credit. That’s $19 less than the cheapest T6 Momentum AWD model which starts at $43,245. For all eligible models, the tax credit equates to $5,419." https://www.carsdirect.com/automotive-news/volvo-cuts-prices-on-plug-in-hybrid-lineup HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC DEBUTS FAST ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER IN PUKALANI Firstly thanks to Jim Burness from NationCarCharging.com, yesterday I asked what CHP stood for, and Jim kindly informed me: California Highway Patrol! "Electric vehicle drivers can now power up at a newly installed Hawaiian Electric fast charging station at the Pukalani Terrace Center in Upcountry Maui." says Hawaiian Electric: "This publicly-accessible DC fast charger owned and operated by Hawaiian Electric offers a new lower rate during daytime hours to encourage charging when solar energy is typically abundant. The company expects to install new fast chargers with the EV-Maui rate at three additional locations in Central, South, and West Maui later this year once site agreements are confirmed." https://www.hawaiianelectric.com/hawaiian-electric-debuts-fast-electric-vehicle-charger-in-pukalani “RUSSIA HAS CREATED THE CHEAPEST ELECTRIC CAR IN THE WORLD” – ZETTA CM1 "As reported by the spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, Russia has created the cheapest electric car in the world. The new electric car Zetta CM1 will be released at the end of the year with a price tag of approximately €5200. The vehicle has been developed by Russian Engineering and Manufacturing Company (REMC)." says RusAutoNews.com. 27hp hub motors on each wheel. 120kmh. 10kWh battery. http://rusautonews.com/2020/08/18/russia-has-created-the-cheapest-electric-car-in-the-world-zetta-cm1/ GERMAN STATE REQUIRES SOLAR PANELS ON NEW, NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS "many buildings get constructed with no thought for rooftop solar. The German state of Baden-Württemberg is changing that in its jurisdiction. It is requiring that all new non-residential buildings have solar panels on them starting in 2022" says CleanTechnica: "This follows the city-state of Hamburg passing a similar law that goes into effect a year later, in 2023. As a new building is built, everyone must take into account that it has solar panels on top, just as we have to take into account that a new building will have a roof and walls, just as we expect that a new building will be hooked up to the electric grid." https://cleantechnica.com/2020/08/18/german-state-requires-solar-panels-on-new-non-residential-buildings/ UK TO REMAIN WITH EU CO2 EMISSION REGULATIONS "It is looking like the UK is to remain with EU regulation on CO2 emission standards even after leaving the European Union at the end of this year. A new consultation points out as much and is open for comments until 21 August." according to electrive: "When made into legislation as proposed, the UK will keep the EU’s 15% CO2 emission reduction target for cars and vans from 2025, and a 37.5% reduction for cars and 31% for vans come 2030. Carmakers will face fines of 86 British pounds instead of 95 euros for every gram of CO2 exceeded. The limit is 95 grams per km, and manufacturers will still base their targets on the average weight of vehicles sold." https://www.electrive.com/2020/08/19/uk-to-remain-with-eu-co2-emission-regulations/ You can listen to all 871 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.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.24.220186v1?rss=1 Authors: Dengler, L., Örd, M., Schwab, L. M., Loog, M., Ewald, J. C. Abstract: Protein phosphorylation enables a rapid adjustment of cellular activities to diverse intracellular and environmental stimuli. Many phosphoproteins are targeted on more than one site, which allows the integration of multiple signals and the implementation of complex responses. However, the hierarchy and interplay between multiple phospho-sites are often unknown. Here, we study multi-site phosphorylation using the yeast trehalase Nth1 and its activator, the 14-3-3 protein Bmh1, as a model. Nth1 is known to be phosphorylated by the metabolic kinase PKA on four serine residues and by the cell cycle kinase CDK on one residue. However, how these five phospho-sites adjust Nth1 activity remains unclear. Using a novel reporter construct, we investigated the contribution of the individual sites for the regulation of the trehalase and its 14-3-3 interactor. In contrast to the constitutively phosphorylated S20 and S83, the weaker sites S21 and S60 are only phosphorylated by increased PKA activity. For binding Bmh1, S83 functions as the high-affinity "gatekeeper" site, but successful binding of the Bmh1 dimer and thus Nth1 activation requires S60 as a secondary site. Under nutrient-poor conditions with low PKA activity, S60 is not efficiently phosphorylated and the cell cycle dependent phosphorylation of S66 by Cdk1 contributes to Nth1 activity, likely by providing an alternative Bmh1 binding site. Additionally, the PKA sites S20 and S21 modulate the dephosphorylation of Nth1 on downstream Bmh1 sites. In summary, our results expand our molecular understanding of Nth1 regulation and provide a new aspect of the interaction of 14-3-3 proteins with their targets.

Show #668 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 16th January 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time. 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. VW CEO SAYS CARMAKER FACES SAME FATE AS NOKIA WITHOUT URGENT REFORMS "Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) needs to accelerate the overhaul of its business to avoid becoming another Nokia (NOKIA.HE), which lost its dominance in the handset market to Apple (AAPL.O), the German carmaker’s chief executive said." and reported by Reuters today: "VW will cut resources devoted to fuel cells, since they will not be as competitive as battery electric drivertrains for at least another decade. VW will also slash costs at its MOIA mobility services unit." Diess said: "The big questions is: Are we fast enough? If we continue at our current speed, it is going to be very tough. The era of the classic carmakers is over. In summary this is probably the most difficult challenge Volkswagen has ever faced." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-strategy-diess/vw-ceo-says-carmaker-faces-same-fate-as-nokia-without-urgent-reforms-idUSKBN1ZF1OB FOXCONN AND FIAT CHRYSLER WILL MAKE ELECTRIC CARS FOR CHINA "iPhone manufacturer Foxconn is getting into the electric vehicle game, thanks to a planned joint venture with Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler (FCA). Foxconn announced on Thursday that the two companies will combine forces to make vehicles for the Chinese market, with FCA handling the manufacturing and the Taiwanese tech giant managing the electronics and software." wrties The Verge: "FCA, which oversees its eponymous brands as well as ones like Jeep and Dodge, has lagged behind its competitors in embracing electric vehicle technology. The company recently kicked off a merger with French automaker PSA Group, which makes cars under the Peugeot and Citroën brands (among others), partly in order to better attack the changing automotive landscape" https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/16/21069288/foxconn-fiat-chrysler-electric-vehicles-china-joint-venture PLUG-IN ELECTRIC CAR SALES IN GERMANY DOUBLED IN DECEMBER 2019 From the InsideEVs Sales SCorecard: "Passenger plug-in electric car sales in Germany doubled in December, reaching the second-highest monthly level ever of 11,328 new registrations (up 98% year-over-year). The market share also improved to a near-record level, standing at 4.0%. That's one in every 25 new passenger cars. 2019 ended with 108,629 new passenger plug-in car registrations in Germany, which makes the country the biggest European market for EVs right now. The year-over-year growth amounted to 61%, while the average market share stands at 3%." https://insideevs.com/news/393067/plugin-car-sales-germany-december-2019/ VOLVO WILL BUILD NEW U.S. BATTERY PLANT TO HELP LAUNCH ELECTRIC XC90 Volvo will build its own U.S. battery assembly plant as it readies a line of electric vehicles for this market. The expansion is part of a previously announced $600 million project that the Swedish automaker has begun at its plant in Ridgeville, S.C., which includes a second production line and Volvo Car University." says Autonews.com: "Volvo will create an electric version of its next XC90 crossover and build it at the plant starting in late 2022. The factory, 45 miles northwest of Charleston, employs about 1,500 workers building the S60 sedan. The South Carolina plant will become the global production center for the third-generation XC90 flagship crossover" https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/volvo-building-us-battery-assembly-plant LEAF GETS CHEAPER "The Nissan LEAF is no longer the front-runner of electric cars and Nissan knows it. However, instead of introducing major changes to the LEAF, Nissan is pushing for a cheaper price to remain relevant." according to Pedro at PushEVs: "Now Nissan introduced a cheaper entry-level trim with a slower 3,6 kW on-board charger and without dual USB ports for the rear seats. Nonetheless, the price difference between the two cheapest trim levels can vary a lot from country to country. The new entry-level trim only seems tempting in Spain where it starts at 25.900 euros, which is 4.000 euros cheaper than the second cheapest trim level available. In other countries the difference between the two cheapest trim levels is a lot smaller and might not be worth it." https://pushevs.com/2020/01/16/nissan-leaf-gets-cheaper/ THE CHEVROLET BOLT IS HEADED TO CHINA AS A BUICK SUV "When spy photos of what appeared to be Chevrolet Bolt EV with some minor front- and rear-end updates circulated last week, Autoblog surmised that GM was working on some sort of Bolt-based vehicle — potentially a crossover — to be sold in China as a Buick." says Byron at Autoblog: "On Thursday, Motor1.com spotted a story published earlier this week on the Chinese site Auto Home which claims that GM has applied to sell an all-electric SUV under the Velite 7 nameplate in China. There's little differentiating the Velite 7's exterior from the Bolt EV's, apart from bumpers, badges, and a little extra ground clearance. Up front, the bowtie is replaced by a round Buick badge, and the bumper picks up an almost Prius-like appearance thanks to contrasting vertical elements and a thin grille bleeding into the head lights to give it a full-width appearance." https://www.autoblog.com/2020/01/16/buick-velite-ev-china/ TESLA RESPONDS TO GIGAFACTORY 4 PROTESTS BY SWIFTLY OPENING COMMUNITY OFFICE "Tesla has responded to local protests at the site of their next factory near Berlin by opening a community office to hear local concerns, according to Der Spiegel. The office opens Thursday, just a few days after site protests began." reports Electrek: "About 50 protesters gathered at the gigafactory site earlier this week to protest the plan. Their main concern was about the lack of public participation in the project. Tesla will now open a community office to hear those public concerns, as confirmed by Jörg Steinbach, Brandenburg’s minister of economics. Steinbach hopes that the opening of the community office will help to relax the situation between the protesters and Tesla." https://ww.electrek.co/2020/01/16/tesla-responds-gigafactory-4-protests-swiftly-community-office/# HONDA & MOIXA LAUNCH THEIR FIRST V2G PROJECT IN LONDON "Honda and Moixa have teamed up to launch the first fruit of their pan-European cooperation. Smart chargers with vehicle-to-grid technology have been installed in London’s borough Islington and foretell a future of bi-directional charging via CCS." says electrive: "For now, the project sees three smart charging stations located at the private parking space of Islington council with two more to come. Honda, together with its Swiss partner EVTec sign responsible for the station design. It is decidedly more compact than other V2G-capable charging stations and offers both ChaDeMo and CCS charging. The latter is a novelty as Honda claims that this will enable the first bi-directional charging capability via CCS, once the Honda E arrives this summer. For the time being, however, Islington Council runs a fleet of five Nissan eNV200 electric vans for a 12-month trial period and staff alone. The EVs charge with ChaDeMo and are capable of pushing energy back into the grid at 10 kW." https://www.electrive.com/2020/01/16/honda-moixa-launch-their-first-v2g-project-in-london/ NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week… Which car company would you like to see doing more to embrace electrification?

Show #558 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 22nd August 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time. 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. Welcome to a new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER SABBY THE CAT. PORSCHE TAYCAN INTERIOR REVEALED, EVEN GIVES PASSENGER A SCREEN "Following a teaser on August 20, Porsche has released six images of the new electric car’s cabin ahead of its early September debut, showing a digitally intensive cockpit that brings the company’s interior design language firmly into the 21st century." reports Motor1.com: "The crown jewel of the Taycan’s cockpit is an enormous 16.8-inch curved display atop the steering column. Surrounding the display are touch-capacitive buttons that control the headlights, stability control, suspension firmness, and judging by the image released, the vehicle’s ride height. Look right of the instrument cluster and there’s a 10.9-inch touchscreen where you’d expect it. Look even further and there’s yet another screen where you wouldn’t – right in front of the passenger. When these screens are off, though, they blend neatly into the dash. The center console houses a third (or fourth, if you tick the box for the passenger display) screen, spanning 8.4 inches. It’s the primary interface for the climate controls, but the lower portion doubles as a haptic touchpad. Optional “Race-Tex” upholstery, made from recycled polyester fiber, produces far less carbon dioxide during production. The floor carpets also use recycled materials." The debut is 4th September. https://www.motor1.com/news/366633/porsche-taycan-interior-revealed-official/ TESLA’S HEAD OF AUTOPILOT SOFTWARE LEAVES IN RESTRUCTURING "Tesla’s head of Autopilot software, Stuart Bowers, has left the automaker to work for the venture capital firm Greylock after a restructuring of the Autopilot team. Over the last few months, there have been several reports about a restructuring of Tesla’s Autopilot team." reports Electrek: "Despite all the changes and Musk taking more direct reports, it wasn’t clear if Bowers had actually left the company. Now we have confirmation for the first time that the executive has left Tesla after Greylock Partners announced that he has joined the firm as an Executive in Residence." https://electrek.co/2019/08/21/tesla-head-autopilot-software-leaves-restructuring/ SANDY MUNRO STATES TESLA HAS A 10-YEAR LEAD OVER US AUTOMAKERS "Sandy Munro has another hour-long interview about the ongoing transition to electric vehicles. The interview was conducted by Sean Mitchell of allthingsev.info. On more than one occasion, Munro claims the issue with the major automakers is the number of executives with MBAs, who have a tendency to believe in outsourcing as much as possible. Maybe this a key reason why we see so many executives leaving Tesla, because at Tesla they are actually focused on innovation and not just paying some contractor or supplier to do the hard work." according to Clean TEchnica. From the Youtube comments from Chee Fung: "Always refreshing to listen from Sandy, he's a non-fanboy Tesla praiser and always give Tesla a fair amount of criticisms. Any rational Tesla bull who wants unbiased view about Tesla's edge, Sandy is always the one to go to. He's so familiar with the Detroit-ic car corporation culture, and yet he's has all the high regards on the Silicon-Valley-ish Tesla enterprise system." https://cleantechnica.com/2019/08/21/sandy-munro-states-tesla-has-a-10-year-lead-over-us-automakers/ VOLVO UK EXPANDS THE S60 LINE-UP WITH A PLUG-IN HYBRID "In the UK, Volvo has just extended its S60 range with a plug-in hybrid option. The PHEV comes with a 4wd T8 Twin Engine powertrain combining a 303hp petrol engine with an 87hp (64 kW) electric motor. In this constellation, the S60 offers 36 miles (approx 58 km) of purely electric range." writes electrive: "The new PHEV has an impressive acceleration from 0-62mph (0-100 km/h) in just 4.6 seconds. The new T8 Twin Engine R-Design Plus plug-in hybrid model is priced at £49,805 (54,485 euros)." £49k you say? What about a Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance, 3.2 sec 0-60mph, 162mph top speed, price? £49,000. Although yes, FSD is £5,800 https://www.electrive.com/2019/08/22/volvo-uk-expands-the-s60-line-up-with-a-plug-in-hybrid/ BYD PROFIT TRIPLES AS CHINA'S EV BOOM CONTINUES "BYD posted a 204 percent rise in first-half profit on Wednesday, as China's new energy vehicle market continues to surge." reports Automotive News Europe: "The Shenzhen-based company, which is backed by U.S. investor Warren Buffett and whose products include full-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, posted net profit of 1.45 billion yuan ($205.29 million), up from 479.10 million yuan a year earlier. BYD sold 145,653 so-called new energy vehicles between January and June, up 95 percent from a year earlier. " https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/byd-profit-triples-chinas-ev-boom-continues MPS CALL FOR BAN ON NEW PETROL AND DIESEL VEHICLES "The Government's technology advisory body has called for it to fast-track the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by five years to 2035 - then banish privately-owned vehicles from the road entirely." according to ThisIsMoney: "It should bring forward the proposed ban on new cars and vans with conventional and hybrid engines and hike fuel duty whenever rail fares rise, the report by the Science and Technology Committee says." https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-7383069/Technology-committee-wants-new-petrol-diesel-car-banned-2035.html TESLA SUSPENSION UPDATE HELPS MODEL S AND MODEL X HIGH-SPEED DRIVING "Tesla has piloted a unique way of updating its vehicles' software to add new features and safety improvements remotely. It has adjusted Autopilot and introduced tweaks to improve battery life in the past, but now, the company is using the same system to tune the Model S and Model X suspension over the air." reports Engadet: "The latest software (2019.28.3.1) makes adjustments to the adaptive suspension system, using "dampening algorithms" to better handle speeds over 160 km/h (100mph). It will be useful for drivers in countries like Germany, however, where some roads have no speed limits." https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/22/tesla-tune-suspension-software/ EXPANSION OF ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS AT VOLKSWAGEN’S GERMAN SITES BEGINS The Volkswagen brand is systematically driving its electric offensive and will be installing some 4,000 charging points at its German sites by 2025. The first are already up and running. 4,000 charging points will be gradually phased in at Volkswagen’s ten German sites by 2025 100% green power from renewable sources. When combined with the activities at dealerships, this means the Volkswagen Group is providing some 36,000 new charging points in Europe. https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2019/08/Expansion_of_electric_charging_stations.html COMMUNITY The MYEV.com Question Of The Week. Submitted by Brian C: "Petrol users pay by quantity. EV drivers should ALSO pay by quantity. All charging companies be required by law to charge per kWh – do you agree?"

Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because by understanding the past, we're able to be prepared for the innovations of the future! Today we're going to look at the emergence of Google's Android operating system. Before we look at Android, let's look at what led to it. Frank Canova who built a device he showed off as “Angler” at COMDEX in 1992. This would be released as the Simon Personal Communicator by BellSouth and manufactured as the IBM Simon by Mitsubishi. The Palm, Newton, Symbian, and Pocket PC, or Windows CE would come out shortly thereafter and rise in popularity over the next few years. CDMA would slowly come down in cost over the next decade. Now let's jump to 2003. At the time, you had Microsoft Windows CE, the Palm Treo was maturing and supported dual-band GSM, Handspring merged into the Palm hardware division, Symbian could be licensed but I never met a phone of theirs I liked. Like the Nokia phones looked about the same as many printer menu screens. One other device that is more relevant because of the humans behind it was the T-Mobile sidekick, which actually had a cool flippy motion to open the keyboard! Keep that Sidekick in mind for a moment. Oh and let's not forget a fantastic name. The mobile operating systems were limited. Each was proprietary. Most were menu driven and reminded us more of an iPod, released in 2001. I was a consultant at the time and remember thinking it was insane that people would pay hundreds of dollars for a phone. At the time, flip phones were all the rage. A cottage industry of applications sprung up, like Notify, that made use of app frameworks on these devices to connect my customers to their Exchange accounts so their calendars could sync wirelessly. The browsing experience wasn't great. The messaging experience wasn't great. The phones were big and clunky. And while you could write apps for the Symbian in Qt Creator or Flash Lite or Python for S60, few bothered. That's when Andy Rubin left Danger, the company the cofounded that made the Sidekick and joined up with Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White in 2003 to found a little company called Android Inc. They wanted to make better mobile devices than were currently on the market. They founded Android Inc and set out to write an operating system based on Linux that could rival anything on the market. Rubin was no noob when cofounding Danger. He had been a robotics engineer in the 80s, a manufacturing engineer at Apple for a few years and then got on his first mobility engineering gig when he bounced to General Magic to work on Magic Cap, a spinoff from Apple FROM 92 TO 95. He then helped build WebTV from 95-99. Many in business academia have noted that Android existed before Google and that's why it's as successful as it is today. But Google bought Android in 2005, years before the actual release of Android. Apple had long been rumor milling a phone, which would mean a mobile operating system as well. Android was sprinting towards a release that was somewhat Blackberry-like, focused on competing with similar devices on the market at the time, like the Blackberries that were all the rage. Obama and Hillary Clinton was all about theirs. As a consultant, I was stoked to become a Blackberry Enterprise Server reseller and used that to deploy all the things. The first iPhone was released in 2007. I think we sometimes think that along came the iPhone and Blackberries started to disappear. It took years. But the fall was fast. While the iPhone was also impactful, the Android-based devices were probably more-so. That release of the iPhone kicked Andy Rubin in the keister and he pivoted over from the Blackberry-styled keyboard to a touch screen, which changed… everything. Suddenly this weird innovation wasn't yet another frivolous expensive Apple extravagance. The logo helped grow the popularity as well, I think. Internally at Google Dan Morrill started creating what were known as Dandroids. But the bugdroid as it's known was designed by Irina Blok on the Android launch team. It was eventually licensed under Creative Commons, which resulted in lots of different variations of the logo; a sharp contrast to the control Apple puts around the usage of their own logo. The first version of the shipping Android code came along in 2008 and the first phone that really shipped with it wasn't until the HTC Dream in 2009. This device had a keyboard you could press but also had a touch screen, although we hadn't gotten a virtual keyboard yet. It shipped with an ARM11, 192MB of RAM, and 256MB of storage. But you could expand it up to 16 gigs with a microSD card. Oh, and it had a trackball. It bad 802.11b and g, Bluetooth, and shipped with Android 1.0. But it could be upgraded up to 1.6, Donut. The hacker in me just… couldn't help but mod the thing much as I couldn't help but jailbreak the iPhone back before I got too lazy not to. Of course, the Dev Phone 1 shipped soon after that didn't require you to hack it, something Apple waited until 2019 to copy. The screen was smaller than that of an iPhone. The keyboard felt kinda' junky. The app catalog was lacking. It didn't really work well in an office setting. But it was open source. It was a solid operating system and it showed promise as to the future of not-Apple in a post-Blackberry world. Note: Any time a politician uses a technology it's about 5 minutes past being dead tech. Of Blackberry, iOS, and Android, Android was last in devices sold using those platforms in 2009, although the G1 as the Dream was also known as, took 9% market share quickly. But then came Eclair. Unlike sophomore efforts from bands, there's something about a 2.0 release of software. By the end of 2010 there were more Androids than iOS devices. 2011 showed the peak year of Blackberry sales, with over 50 million being sold, but those were the lagerts spinning out of the buying tornado and buying the pivot the R&D for the fruitless next few Blackberry releases. Blackberry marketshare would zero out in just 6 short years. iPhone continued a nice climb over the past 8 years. But Android sales are now in the billions per year. Ultimately the blackberry, to quote Time a “failure to keep up with Apple and Google was a consequence of errors in its strategy and vision.” If you had to net-net that, touch vs menus was a substantial part of that. By 2017 the Android and iOS marketshare was a combined 99.6%. In 2013, now Google CEO, Sundar Pichai took on Android when Andy Rubin was embroiled in sexual harassment charges and now acts as CEO of Playground Global, an incubator for hardware startups. The open source nature of Android and it being ready to fit into a device from manufacturers like HTC led to advancements that inspired and were inspired by the iPhone leading us to the state we're in today. Let's look at the released per year and per innovation: * 1.0, API 1, 2008: Include early Google apps like Gmail, Maps, Calendar, of course a web browser, a media player, and YouTube * 1.1 came in February the next year and was code named Petit Four * 1.5 Cupcake, 2009: Gave us on an-screen keyboard and third-party widgets then apps on the Android Market, now known as the Google Play Store. Thus came the HTC Dream. Open source everything. * 1.6 Donut, 2009: Customizeable screen sizes and resolution, CDMA support. And the short-lived Dell Streak! Because of this resolution we got the joy of learning all about the tablet. Oh, and Universal Search and more emphasis on battery usage! * 2.0 Eclair, 2009: The advent of the Motorola Droid, turn by turn navigation, real time traffic, live wallpapers, speech to text. But the pinch to zoom from iOS sparked a war with Apple.We also got the ability to limit accounts. Oh, new camera modes that would have impressed even George Eastman, and Bluetooth 2.1 support. * 2.2 Froyo, four months later in 2010 came Froyo, with under-the-hood tuning, voice actions, Flash support, something Apple has never had. And here came the HTC Incredible S as well as one of the most mobile devices ever built: The Samsung Galaxy S2. This was also the first hotspot option and we got 3G and better LCDs. That whole tethering, it took a year for iPhone to copy that. * 2.3 Gingerbread: With 2010 came Gingerbread. The green from the robot came into the Gingerbread with the black and green motif moving front and center. More sensors, NFC, a new download manager, copy and paste got better, * 3.0 Honeycomb, 2011. The most important thing was when Matias Duarte showed up and reinvented the Android UI. The holographic design traded out the green and blue and gave you more screen space. This kicked off a permanet overhaul and brought a card-UI for recent apps. Enter the Galaxy S9 and the Huawei Mate 2. * 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, later in 2011 - Duarte's designs started really taking hold. For starters, let's get rid of buttons. THat's important and has been a critical change for other devices as well. We Reunited tablets and phones with a single vision. On screen buttons, brought the card-like appearance into app switching. Smarter swiping, added swiping to dismiss, which changed everything for how we handle email and texts with gestures. You can thank this design for Tinder. * 4.1 to 4.3 Jelly Bean, 2012: Added some sweet sweet fine tuning to the foundational elements from Ice Cream Sandwich. Google Now that was supposed to give us predictive intelligence, interactive notifications, expanded voice search, advanced search, sill with the card-based everything now for results. We also got multiuser support for tablets. And the Android Quick Settings pane. We also got widgets on the lock screen - but those are a privacy nightmare and didn't last for long. Automatic widget resizing, wireless display projection support, restrict profiles on multiple user accounts, making it a great parent device. Enter the Nexus 10. AND TWO FINGER DOWN SWIPES. * 4.4 KitKat, in 2013 ended the era of a dark screen, lighter screens and neutral highlights moved in. I mean, Matrix was way before that after all. OK, Google showed up. Furthering the competition with Apple and Siri. Hands-free activation. A panel on the home screen, and a stand-alone launcher. AND EMOJIS ON THE KEYBOARD. Increased NFC security. * 5. Lollipop came in 2014 bringing 64 bit, Bluetooth Low Energy, flatter interface, But more importantly, we got annual releases like iOS. * 6: Marshmallow, 2015 gave us doze mode, sticking it to iPhone by even more battery saving features. App security and prompts to grant apps access to resources like the camera and phone were . The Nexus 5x and 6P ports brought fingerprint scanners and USB-C. * 7: Nougat in 2016 gave us quick app switching, a different lock screen and home screen wallpaper, split-screen multitasking, and gender/race-centric emojis. * 8: Oreo in 2017 gave us floating video windows, which got kinda' cool once app makers started adding support in their apps for it. We also got a new file browser, which came to iOS in 2019. And more battery enhancements with prettied up battery menus. Oh, and notification dots on app icons, borrowed from Apple. * 9: Pie in 2018 brought notch support, navigations that were similar to those from the iPhone X adopting to a soon-to-be bezel-free world. And of course, the battery continues to improve. This brings us into the world of the Pixel 3. * 10, Likely some timed in 2019 While the initial release of Android shipped with the Linux 2.1 kernel, that has been updated as appropriate over the years with, 3 in Ice Cream Sandwich, and version 4 in Nougat. Every release of android tends to have an increment in the Linux kernel. Now, Android is open source. So how does Google make money? Let's start with what Google does best. Advertising. Google makes a few cents every time you click on an ad in an advertisement in messages or web pages or any other little spot they've managed to drop an ad in there. Then there's the Google Play Store. Apple makes 70% more revenue from apps than Android, despite the fact that Android apps have twice the number of installs. The old adage is if you don't pay for a product, you are the product. I don't tend to think Google goes overboard with all that, though. And Google is probably keeping Caterpillar in business just to buy big enough equipment to move their gold bars from one building to the next on campus. Any time someone's making money, lots of other people wanna taste. Like Oracle, who owns a lot of open source components used in Android. And the competition between iOS and Android makes both products better for consumers! Now look out for Android Auto, Android Things, Android TV, Chrome OS, the Google Assistant and others - given that other types of vendors can make use of Google's open source offerings to cut R&D costs and get to market faster! But more importantly, Android has contributed substantially to the rise of ubiquitious computing despite how much money you have. I like to think the long-term impact of such a democratization of Mobility and the Internet will make the world a little less idiocracy and a little more wikipedia. Thank you so very much for tuning into another episode of the History of Computing Podcast. We're lucky to have you. Have a great day!

Trucking-News with Ruthann Trucking-News this week involves Inspections, Crash ratings, Woman of the year and Autonomous Braking Systems. Also drug smuggling is not worth the time you will do. Ruthann puts her spin on the latest news in the Trucking Industry while putting up with Troy. Trucking news with Ruthann The science behind automatic braking From fiddling with the radio to just plain daydreaming, there are tons of reasons you might briefly lose focus in traffic and risk rear-ending the car in front of you. And that’s exactly where autonomous braking comes into play. Automatic braking systems (like Volvo’s City Safety) use infrared sensors usually built into the windshield to track your position amid other vehicles. If you start approaching another car too quickly, the system taps on the brakes for you, either slowing you down or bringing you to an all-out stop. DOT checking a rig IIHS finds reduced claims in autobraking cars While there’s plenty of debate and ambiguity surrounding forward collision avoidance technology, autonomous braking seems to be one example of it that’s making headway. In a recent study, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) took an in-depth look at Volvo’s City Safety feature and revealed some favorable results. When compared to SUVs that didn’t have collision avoidance technology, Volvo’s XC60 SUVs (equipped with City Safety) had: 33 percent fewer bodily injury claims 15 percent fewer property damage claims 20 percent fewer collision claims And for Volvo’s S60 midsize sedans, City Safety resulted in claims reductions of: 18 percent for bodily injury 16 percent for property damage 9 percent for collision Smuggling Drugs in Semi trucks SALTON CITY, Calif. – El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents from the Indio Station assigned to the Highway 86 checkpoint simultaneously arrested two men suspected of smuggling drugs hidden in their trucks on Friday. The incident occurred at approximately 12:10 p.m., when two truck drivers approached the checkpoint driving respectively a red 1999 semi-truck and a black 1994 semi-truck. A Border Patrol detection canine alerted to both of the semi-trucks during a pre-primary inspection. Agents referred the men to the secondary inspection area for a closer examination. After an extensive search, agents discovered 15 bundles of cocaine hidden inside the rear axle compartment of each semi-truck. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/border-patrol-stops-2-trucks-drugs-loaded-rear-axles

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Thursday 21st June edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport. VOLVO'S NEW HYBRID S60 HYBRID TO BE MADE IN U.S. The first major auto maker to publicly say they would electrify their entire range was Volvo, and now they've revealed one of those models to drive the company into an electric future. If you're in the market for a BMW 3-series, hold on to our wallet and check out the Volvo first. The new S60, which US listeners would call a mid-size Sedan or compact executive, is being built at their first plant in North American in South Carolina. It's a plant which will never see a diesel engine because they've been phased out by Volvo. In fact it was double bubble because they launched the new car and also inaugurated the factory. So what can we expect from a US built hybrid? There are four engine choices but two of them are electrified. The engines are gas (aka petrol) and include PHEV power. You can choose a Plug In T6 Twin Engine or the 400hp Plug In T8 Twin Engine AWD PHEV. We recently told you about the Polestar option too which, which sprinkles Swedish performance fairy dust over your car, which beefed up brakes, suspension and tuning. As for safety, there's Autobraking for collision avoidance with pedestrians or an elk on Swedish roads, Run-off Road Mitigation and Oncoming Lane Mitigation. Plus Volvo have their Pilot Assist which keeps you at Level 2 autonomous driving, so a bit steery and a bit brake-y, but not too much. It can do 28 miles of pure EV range. Can I add...my goodness it looks good. Prices start at $41,295 for anything with a battery and Volvo are pushing their Care By Volvo subscription plans, over two years with 24/7 customer care and breakdown assistance, plus all your maintenance and the bits which wear out like wipers and brakes. Of course if it's really a turnkey solution you'd need insurance, and that's sorted too, with Liberty Mutual. PORSCHE BUY INTO RIMAC "Porsche AG is taking a 10% stake in Rimac Automobili, the Croatian hypercar and electric vehicle components company behind the world’s fastest electric car" according to TechCrunch. It's interesting this is happening since the Rimac C_Two is being designed with specs to make your eyes water and most big legacy makers have either been scrating their heads about how Rimac are doing it, or plain old dismissing the outrageous specs of 1,914hp and 0-60mph in 1.85sec, as not possible with an electric car. According to TechCrunch: "the company, which was founded by Mate Rimac in 2009, also engineers and manufactures high-performance electric vehicle powertrain systems and battery systems. The company has already worked with Renault, Jaguar, and Aston Martin. The company’s tech was even used in the E-Type Zero Jaguar driven by Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex at their wedding last month." Do you think it means things were going OK with Taycan, formerly the Mission-E, but they wanted to buy into more knowledge and expertise? TopGear says: "CEO and namesake Mate Rimac, who remains the majority shareholder, says entering into this partnership with Porsche “is an important step in [Rimac’s] strategy to become a leading EV technology supplier to global OEMs”. Porsche's Lutz Meschke said: "We feel that Rimac's ideas and approaches are extremely promising, which is why we hope to enter into close collaboration with the company in the form of a development partnership" MEANWHILE FORD SAYS BATTERY TECHNOLOGY ISN'T READY I hate to juxtapose that story of performance EVs to this one, but here goes. You know how Tesla announced the Semi Truck specs, and then the head of Daimler Trucks said they've be buying two, one to test and one to take apart, because the technology to make one doesn't exist? And that the same rules of chemistry applied in Fremont to Germany? Well now Ford are having their say. "The boss of Ford Performance in Europe told Whichcar.com.au that battery technology isn’t yet suitable for sports car duty" Leo Roeks, European director of Ford Performance: “I have to stay very high-level and very neutral, as I don’t want to make any hints about future products. We need to keep looking at the technology at this point in time. The expectation that we have on performance vehicles right now, it’s very difficult to fulfil that with a fully-electric vehicle. If we look at the battery at the moment, you can have an energy or a power battery – the energy battery is kind of like a big water tank, but it’s got a small pipe. You can leave the tap running for a fairly long time, not a lot of water comes out of it, but it takes ages to get the tank empty. Then again, it also takes a long time to fill it up. A power battery is like a very small tank of water with big pipes, which is relatively easy to drain but also very easy to fill it. I’m looking for something in between. At the moment, that technology is not yet there – that’s something we need to look at. The question is: how close we can get between power and energy.” GERMANY COULD WIN THE BATTLE FOR EUROPEAN GIGAFACTORY LOCATION Elon Tweets! "“Germany is a leading choice for Europe. Perhaps on the German-French border makes sense, near the Benelux countries.” Investopedia reports: "[One] European location where Tesla has ongoing operations is in Pruem, Germany, about 20 miles from the Belgian border and around 60 miles from France. It hosts the Grohmann Engineering division of Tesla, which specializes in automated manufacturing systems for battery-manufacturing facilities. In recent times, Grohmann has successfully built a production line for Tesla’s U.S. battery factory in Reno, Nevada, which is aimed at supporting the production of its newest mass-market Model 3 car." A reminder of what Elon has said at both the recent Shareholder meeting and on the Q1 2018 earnings Call, all future Gigafactories will produce batteries and assemble cars. All continents will need a Gigafactory soon, to produce cars at lower costs, but the goal is to have 12. WHY YOUR NEXT UBER COULD BE AN EV Uber told us: "We’re excited to launch the EV Champions Initiative, a pilot program for driver-partners to deliver at least 5 million EV rides over the next year. This program kicks off today in seven cities — Austin, Los Angeles, Montreal, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle — in partnership with leading electric vehicle (EV) adoption experts. This program builds off the success of existing pilots in Pittsburgh and Portland and we’re proud to team up with experts who have decades of experience in EV adoption. Together, we hope to better equip both plug-in electric and full battery electric vehicle drivers for success. Adam Gromis, Uber’s global lead on sustainability and environmental impact: "What we’ve learned from drivers is that they love not paying for gas and giving their riders a quiet, smooth, efficient, high-tech ride. But any EV driver is trying to operate this technology in a world that’s not built for them.” "Starting today, riders will get a push notification alerting them when they’re matched with an EV driver. But passengers won’t be able to choose to ride in an EV" says curbed.com: "Currently, Uber offers the option for riders to choose an electric vehicle in some European cities (where it’s called Uber Green), but this is only offered in cities which already have the number of EVs and density of charging infrastructure to support the feature." PORTABLE BATTERY PACKS TO RESCUE YOU FROM FLAT BATTERY "A recently developed totally portable Electric Vehicle (EV) recharge system designed to enable a stranded EV driver who has a depleted high voltage battery to receive a charge at roadside for a short period of time and thus allowing the EV "self-recover" from a roadside breakdown flat battery incident" reports ElectricVehicle Research.com: " a roadside attending rescue patrol can simply plug in the battery EV, wait for around 10-15 minutes and effectively the EV can then drive off to the nearest fixed location EV charge station.The great feature of the Mobile Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (MEVSE) design is in the capability of the Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) 48 volt battery pack to be re-charged from the standard rescue vehicle on-board existing 12 volt charging system." https://www.electricvehiclesresearch.com/articles/14549/mobile-ev-charger-that-self-charges-as-recovery-vehicle-is-driving SOLAREDGE UNVEILS EV CHARGING STATION AT INTERSOLAR EUROPE SolarEdge Technologies is unveiling its residential electric vehicle [EV] charging station this week at Intersolar Europe, in Munich. Following the recent debut of its EV-charging, single-phase inverter, SolarEdge will now also provide a standalone EV charger. Check out PV Magazine for more details. They say: "The new EV charger will be integrated into SolarEdge’s smart energy suite, to support increased energy independence. With the EV charger offering management in SolarEdge’s monitoring platform, EV charging can be easily controlled and programmed." SP GROUP TO BUILD SINGAPORE'S LARGEST PUBLIC EV CHARGING NETWORK SP Group (SP) has today announced its plans to build Singapore's largest public Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network, in its bid to accelerate EV adoption in Singapore" as per SGCarMart: "By 2020, SP will build 500 charging points islandwide, located at shopping malls, residential areas, business parks and industrial sites, accessible by all members of the public. These charging points will also be compatible with all EV models. The first batch of 30 charging points will be in operation by the end of 2018. The islandwide network will be fully compliant with Singapore's national charging standards and comprise both AC and DC chargers, with power ratings ranging from 22kW to 50kW." Access will be via an app to initiate a charge and receive updates on its status, as well as to make payment. COMMUNITY New followers. Hope to speak to Phil Roberts from Electric Future tomorrow.

Hello and welcome to the Thursday 14th June edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport. Firstly this is show 150, so thank you to any long time listeners. And welcome to you if this is the first podcast you’ve listened to. Back at show 100 I changed the format slightly, mainly in the area of how it’s titled on various platforms to make it easier to read on car dashboard displays, but there will be a couple of minor changes from today. The biggest tweak being more of your input at the end of each show after the news. You’ll still hear today’s biggest news stories but I’ll be including at least one, and maybe more, piece of feedback from the socials, or Youtube comments or the email. That way if you just want the news, you can stop after that, but I hope you’ll stick around to hear from the community. And I’d be delighted if you wanted to contribute to the show as well. In the long term I also have plans for more interviews, specials and yes Youtubers, I’m working out we can do something in vision! AUDI CONNECTS YOUR EV WITH YOUR HOUSE Following yesterday’s news about Porsche releasing an app to manage charging across multiple providers, today Audi just revealed how they want to integrate into your house. Audi is teaming up with two new partners to connect its electric e-tron models with your home energy management, with systems from SMA Solar Technology and the Hager Group to enable the most cost effective way to charge your car - and we know EV's already have a much lower total cost of ownership. The head of product marketing at Audi starts us off with some first class marketing guff: "In keeping with our premium quality standards, we want an electric car that fits seamlessly into the intelligently connected home, to provide genuine added value for the customer. That is why we have teamed up with the two leading suppliers of home energy management systems, the Hager Group and SMA Solar Technology. That brings maximum charging convenience". With the connect charging system and a suitably equipped HEMS, the customer can use variable electricity tariffs to charge the Audi e-tron. This system can charge the battery when electricity is less expensive while simultaneously considering individual mobility requirements, such as departure time and charge level. The connect charging system gets the necessary rate information either from the HEMS or from information the customer enters into the myAudi portal. If the home is equipped with a photovoltaic system, the customer can optimize the charging process to prefer the electricity generated by the system for charging the Audi e-tron. The electric SUV does this by considering forecast phases of sunshine and the current flow of electricity at the home’s connection point to the public grid. VW PIKES PEAK RACER TECHNICAL DETAILS Meanwhile we're less than two weeks our from Pikes Peak and VW have told us more about their custom designed racer. "features two interlinked, integrated lithium-ion battery blocks on board, located to the right and left of the cockpit. They feed energy to two separate high-performance electric motors for the front and rear axles. Together, they provide performance of 500 kW" according to Green Car Congress. "The I.D. R Pikes Peak itself produces up to 20% of the electrical energy required for the 19.99-kilometer (12.42-mile) race via regenerative braking. This procedure also contributes part of the brake performance. " VW say: "We are breaking new ground with the I.D. R Pikes Peak: This is the first time that Volkswagen will be competing in a race with a fully-electric car. Alongside the elaborate aerodynamic concept and the special requirements for the sports car chassis, the development of the electric drivetrain was the greatest challenge." VOLVO GIVES YOU A BIT OF POLESTAR It's still a year before you can get your grubby little mits on the Polestar plug-in hybrid with 600 horsepower and a 100-mile driving range, but before then, Volvo aren't afraid of leveraging the name a bit. "It just unveiled the "Polestar Engineered" flavor of its upcoming S60 hybrid sports sedan, and will also offer the option on its V60 estate and XC60 SUV vehicles in 2019." says Engadget. You're looking at upgrades to power, torque, software upgrades and brakes. Plus aesthetic upgrades to brakes calipers and exhausts. "All Polestar Engineered Volvos are T8 models with twin electric and gasoline hybrid motors. The XC60, for one, has an electric-only range of 18 miles, good enough for tooling around town or to work. The BMW 3 series-fighting S60 will be unveiled in exactly one week". The last update I had was that unveiling will be in Charleston, South Carolina factory. GM BOOSTING CHEVROLET BOLT EV PRODUCTION LATER THIS YEAR "General Motors released its annual sustainability report on Tuesday, and the automaker reaffirmed its commitment to building even more Chevrolet Bolt EV electric cars this year." reports Sean at GMAuthority: "The automaker said that in response to global demand, production will increase at the Orion plant in the fourth quarter of 2018. North America should see a greater supply of Bolt EVs late this year, but GM will ship some of the additional cars to South Korea to fill demand as well. Additionally, GM also reconfirmed 20 new electric cars coming by 2023 for global markets. The latter portion of the commitment likely means the U.S. won’t see all 20 electric cars in the pipeline. We do know that quite a few of the planned cars will be Cadillacs, according to previous comments. However, GM said there will be “at least” 20 new battery-electric vehicles, which means we could see even more EVs on the global stage, likely for China." GEELY EMGRAND GSE IS RELEASED IN CHINA Last week Geely, those of Volvo-owning fame, launched their Geely Emgrand GSe, one of their combustion cars re-engineered for electric. It starts at ~$19,000 and goes up to $22,000. There is a 120kW motor and the range is said to be 217 miles. It's a very similar front end to the Hyundai Kona with a closed grill, in fact it's very similar to the size of it as well, being a small SUV. It also has the ability to become a power source for other EVs or electrical equipment. TOYOTA TO SELL GAC CARS Reuters say: “Toyota Motor Corp is taking an unprecedented route to meet China’s stringent green car quotas: its showrooms will sell an electric vehicle without the Japanese company’s distinctive triple-oval logo. Instead, it will feature the label of GAC Motor, Toyota’s Chinese partner, and will be built around GAC’s lower-cost technology. The move – a first for Toyota – will give GAC access to the Japanese carmaker’s stringent quality control, prestige and sales channel. For Toyota, it presents a quick way to meet Beijing’s requirements that such vehicles represent 10 percent of an auto manufacturer’s production by 2019.” BMW i3s REVIEW Finally, occasionally I like to look at what motoring website are saying about EVs. It's usually complimentary before lapsing into lazy conclusions about lack of chargers and not being able to do long journeys. The Drive has reviews the BMW i3s and were very impressed. "The electric motor still had plenty of pep left even when accelerating at 55 miles per hour. Though it definitely felt more comfortable on city streets." "The infotainment and instrument panel screens kind of look tiny and out of date nowadays." "The regenerative braking on it is really impressive. One-pedal driving is so easy. I actually often wound up taking my foot off the accelerator and finding myself stopping way more quickly than expected, thanks to the regen, then awkwardly creeping up to the stoplight at 5 mph." "The battery's good for about 120-plus miles, when fully charged. The teeny tiny tank for the teeny tiny range extender engine adds about 60, maybe a bit more if you babied it. So realistically, you could do 180, maybe 200 miles on a go. And then you'd have to stop every 50 miles to refill the gas tank." COMMUNITY Firstly hi to Jeff Borden who listen in North Vancouver, British Columbia. He tweeted “Vancouver Model 3’s getting ready, thank you @ElonMusk” with a video of a him driving past 8 long rows of new Tesla’s waiting to meeting their owners, and it looked like a lot of Model 3’s, with only a few S and X models. He followed up with a panorama photo of them all, and then Tesla’s temporary showroom with 50-55 cars in shot again Model 3’s. He had been talking to Tesla staff and he said in a followup tweet “Staff indicated 700+ in Vancouver and 1,000+ in Toronto in a 2 week period” Walter MacVane - @EcoHeliGuy - Whats really crazy, look up USA

Join us for a walk down memory lane as we retrace the start of the Ruby community in Johannesburg and end up on the trails of the Aosta Valley. Kenneth & Kevin chat with Armand du Plessis, a long-time Rubyist about his journey from classic ASP to being the CTO of Hornet. We get a small glimpse into life before .net and building applications for Symbian, and a whirlwind tour of building various systems in the mobile money space. Armand has always been a keen early adopter, building an OpenID bridge for Facebook (a precursor to their own Facebook Connect platform), hooking up Erlang and Ruby processes with BERT and running Tokyo Cabinet back in the day. His adventures included a brief stop with open-sourced S60 browser from Nokia, trying to bridge native API's and JavaScript long before it was cool! We also have some good chats about the early days of the Ruby community in Johannesburg, the start of then Ruby on Beer (now Jozi.rb) and some interesting visitors we've had. We also touch on BarCampJozi and the need for another one. The last five years Armand has been involved with Hornet, a gay social network and dating app. Armand was part of the team that helped launch the service after just 2 months of build, and made it in time for various launch parties they had all over the world. Admittedly they still have some technical debt today for some of the shortcuts taken back then. Kenneth was very grateful to hear someone admit this openly and honestly. We also lean a few interesting things about their stack and the huge amounts of traffic they do (their CDN serves more traffic than the Cape Town Internet Exchange!). Finally we lace up as Armand shares with us his trail running adventures from the last few years. Armand has embarked on some truly epic runs all over the world, including Mont Blanc, Patagonia, Andora and many more. As we recorded he was getting ready to participate in the 2016 Tor Des Giants. Armand shares some tips and motivation and technology that can help kickstart a healthy trail running addiction.

They're both big, plush, and expensive: the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator join the Consumer Reports test fleet. Each scores points in this skirmish in different ways, but we can't help thinking that this segment's heyday has come and gone. We also look at the new Nissan Murano, which aims for a upscale look and feel at a price point dominated by family haulers. After complaining about the Murano's steering feel, we debate how much that matters to its buyers. Finally, we answer two viewer questions from the Detroit Auto Show: Could Buick build the Avenir concept car without stepping on Cadillac's toes? And, could brands other than Volvo overcome the reputational baggage that comes with selling Chinese-built cars in America?

Redesigning the top-selling vehicle in America is already fraught with peril. But taking a big leap in materials and engines is another thing altogether. We discuss the new 2015 Ford F150 pickup and the impact of its aluminium body and downsized engines. Ford's EcoBoost 2.7-liter turbo V6 might be half the size of rival truck engines, but with 325 hp and 375 lbft of torque in a 5,060 pound truck, it sure doesn't feel like it. We also answer viewer questions about upscale sedans, including the Volvo S60 and Buick Regal.

借车用用！相信朋友们，都遇到过这种情况，亲朋好友来向你借车，车主往往比较尴尬，借了怕引起麻烦，不借又怕伤感情。对于车主来说，借车给别人最怕的就是出事故，车子受损不说，如果人员伤亡还会扯上一大摊子事。甚至还有的人说，借车给人出了事故，车主也要承担部分赔偿责任。这让很多车主觉得冤枉，车不是我开的事故不是我造的，凭什么要我赔啊？ 今年4月29日，湖南都市频道明星学院，艺人，郭彪把自己的沃尔沃S60借给朋友，借车人酒驾＋超载＋超速，飞下十二米浦沅立交桥造成四死两重伤，郭彪面临700万以上的经济追偿，朋友们，您说这个车借得够不够给力呀，谁也不知道下一秒会发生什么事，对不对？ 那么，真要是借车出了事故该由谁担责呢？其实，根据《侵权责任法》第49条的规定，首先由交强险在保险限额内承担，不足的部分，原则上由机动车使用人来承担，但是车主有过错的除外。 那么怎样才算车主有过错呢？必须符合三个条件：一是借车人有驾照且未吊销和过期。二是驾照类型符合驾驶车辆。三是对方借车时无酒驾、毒驾等法律禁止的行为。 少雍在这里给各位提两点建议：一是借车前最好看一下对方驾照的情况，如果过期、吊销、准驾不符，都不可以借。否则，事故后就要付上连带责任。二是如果明知对方喝了酒，你把车借给对方，那么事故后也需要付连带赔偿责任。 当然，车子最好不要借给别人，不是有句话说得好：老婆与车概不外借！

Mamma MiaSweden has never had an export like the band ABBA. And it's not just that first ten year run ('73-'83) of success it enjoyed with all those famous top ten singles. What's most amazing about ABBA is how the band morphed into a brand that has continued to score financially even twenty-five years after the original members officially called it quits. A business plan that Sweden's other major export Volvo can only lust after. A fact not lost on this 82-year old automaker nor its parent -- at least at this point -- Ford Motor Company which put the Swedes on the block in one way or another over two years ago.And now as its stay in Glass House comes to a close with two bidders fighting over the "Volvo For Life" pedigree, the company is preparing to not only change addresses, but to change face as well. New products linked with a new strategy are, the company hopes, leading the way to new customers. At least that's the plan for this mid-luxury brand according to Doug Speck, president and CEO of Volvo Cars North America. Mr. Speck joins John McElroy and his panel to talk about some of the new products like the well-received XC60 CUV and next year's new flagship sedan the S60 and how he expects they will match up against the competition. He also updates us on the Volvo mantra -- safety -- and how the company intends to stay a step up on everyone, especially since safety plays such a big role in almost all of today's vehicles.

Having already given you the AT&T spec sheet and images on this new Nokia, the only things missing are launch date, price, and a bit of video. Well, a janky QIK video just made its way to YouTube claiming that Nokia's Mako is coming to AT&T in mid-July as the 6790 Surge. It should be "priced pretty well" but those details haven't been finalized. So if a quick messaging device running S60 beneath a 2. 4-inch 240x320 pixel display with HSDPA data and 2 megapixel camera is enough motivation to prompt another mouse-click then by all means, click through for the video overview provided after the break. Stay cool, bye. Continue reading Video: Nokia 6790 Surge / Mako gets a QIK onto the small screen . Filed under: Cellphones .

Ewan's off this week on his way to a desert island with enough mobile hardware to confuse them at Heathrow airport. In his absence the team discuss a number of the recent and forthcoming events (including our very own 'Unlimited Drinks'), review the Jawbone headset, discuss CLI-spoofing outfit Spookcall, get excited about budget S60 handsets and highlight their 'things of the week'. Recorded by phone, this episode has extra smooth-jazz hold music magic.... nice
