This car will be launched at the Shanghai Auto Show First appearance. Xpeng Motors previously revealed information related to the G6 in the Q&A conference call for the fourth quarter of 2022: the new car's battery life will be greatly improved, the space will be much larger than that of its competitors, and the internal design will be more distinctive.
From the appearance point of view, the Xiaopeng G6 uses a family-style ring light strip and split headlights. The Xiaopeng P7 and G9 also have similar designs, which is not surprising. It is worth noting that the rear of the new car is relatively rounded, and the through-type taillight is disconnected from the middle, making it highly recognizable.

In addition, lidar is not absent. It is expected that Xpeng G6 will also have high-speed NGP, urban NGP, LCC enhanced version and other intelligent assisted driving functions.
Editor’s comment: Xpeng G6 should learn from the experience of G9, allowing consumers to feel the differences between configurations most intuitively, play less tricks, set an attractive price, and seize this opportunity , otherwise sales will still not increase.
Honda’s two new electric SUVs
Honda’s new e:N series products will make their debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. As usual, they will be produced by Hiroshi and Higashimoto respectively. Since the new cars are still wrapped in thick camouflage, we have to wait until the Shanghai Auto Show to unveil their mysterious veil.
Editor’s comment: In the wave of electrification, traditional joint venture car companies have not taken advantage. As strong as Honda, the first version of its e:N series only had crazy price cuts and no one cared about it. For the second product launch, we really need to think carefully about what consumers need, and we must be very careful when pricing, otherwise we will still not be able to reap the dividends of new energy.
Volvo EX90
Volvo EX90 adopts a closed front grille design, but the front face still has many imprints of Volvo’s current models, such as the classic LOGO and Thor’s Hammer LED lights. group and so on.

The battery capacity is 111kWh and the cruising range is 467km and 600km respectively.
Editor’s comment: Volvo EX90’s competitors are BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, etc. With its safety and extremely intelligent performance, EX90 should have a place in the high-end pure electric market in the future.
smart Elf #3
The front face of smart Elf #3 continues the family-style design style. The through-type light group and the trapezoidal grille design are highly recognizable.
In addition, the new car will still launch a high-performance BRABUS version, which uses blackened logos and added vent design, which is very dynamic.

Since the new car is covered with camouflage coating, we don’t know some details of the design for the time being. However, it can be seen that it uses a through-type headlight design with a luminous logo in the middle, which is in line with the current ID family design.
In terms of smart cockpit, the new car is equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a 15-inch central control screen, a built-in latest HMI system, and a HUD system on the front windshield. In addition, the biggest highlight of the car is that it is equipped with an intelligent air-conditioning system, which can detect the temperature outside the car, detect the driver's approach through the key, and turn on the air-conditioning system to preheat or cool in advance.

Editor’s comment: Compared with other joint ventures, Volkswagen’s pure electric vehicle sales are pretty good, and this time the ID.7 is also exciting. However, it is only unveiled and will not be launched until 2024. Is it too late?

Editor’s comment: Xingtu E03 is a product of cooperation between Chery and Huawei, so its car engine and intelligent driving assistance are highly anticipated. As Xingtu's first sedan, E03 also has epoch-making significance, and we look forward to its debut.
