    China Journal Global Online News: Leaders of EU member states signed the Lisbon Treaty in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 13th. If the treaty is finally ratified by member States, it will pave the way for the reform of EU institutions.


    The signing ceremony was held in Jeronimos Monastery, which was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO. Portuguese Prime Minister Socrates, the rotating presidency of the European Union, European Commission President Barroso and European Parliament Speaker Petrin delivered short speeches successively.


    Socrates said that the Lisbon Treaty will make the EU more modern, more efficient and more democratic, and will also make the EU’s voice in the world louder. Barroso said that the Lisbon Treaty will make the EU better serve the citizens of its member countries and make the EU’s foreign policy more coherent. The signing of the Lisbon Treaty has made the EU full of confidence in the future.


    After the speech, the leaders of the 27 member States of the European Union signed the treaty one after another. The signing of the Lisbon Treaty marks the temporary end of the constitutional crisis that has plagued the EU for more than two years. According to the plan, the treaty ratification procedure will be completed in 2008 and will take effect before the European Parliament election in 2009.


    In 2005, after the EU Constitutional Treaty was rejected by France and the Netherlands, the EU was caught in a constitutional crisis, and the issue of institutional reform was forced to be shelved. In March this year, EU leaders adopted the Berlin Declaration, announcing the end of the constitutional reflection period. The Lisbon Treaty, regarded as a simplified version of the EU Constitutional Treaty, was born six months later.


    According to the Lisbon Treaty, the Council of the European Union will have a permanent president to replace the current rotation mechanism of the EU presidency once every six months; At present, the two overlapping functions of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission Commissioner for Foreign Affairs will be merged; The European Commission will be slimmed down, and the current practice of appointing an EU member in each member state will be abolished; Replace the current "effective majority voting system" with "double majority voting system"

Hubei Yasi Du Xiaoyi: Preference for front-line employees will lead to higher loyalty.

  Yasi, Hubei, is headquartered in Yichang, Hubei Province, on the bank of the Yangtze River.

  In 1996, a daily chemical store started from 50 square meters, and now it is a physical retail scale with annual sales of more than 2 billion yuan;

  From 2001 to 2005, we successively acquired commercial properties and completed the capital accumulation of Yasi’s asset development strategy.

  Joined SPAR in 2005, laying the foundation for the improvement of store management technology;

  In 2007, Hubei Daji was established, involved in commercial real estate development and operation, and officially entered diversified development;

  Nowadays, it has formed a diversified development pattern in Yichang, Xiangfan, Jingmen, Yidu, Dangyang and its surrounding areas, with commercial real estate development as the guide and physical retail business as the core, and involved in finance, hotels, entertainment, catering, tourism and other fields.

  Yasi, Hubei Province: A Multi-landscape along the Three Gorges.

  In May this year, members of a delegation composed of more than 10 CEOs of retail enterprises rushed to Yichang, Hubei from Beijing, Henan, Guangdong and Shanxi.

  Gao Jiancheng, editor-in-chief of China Business Daily Supermarket Weekly, personally led the investigation, and the purpose of this trip is to inspect Yas International Plaza in Yidu, so as to explore the secrets of how Yas has diversified and multi-format layout in Yichang, Xiangfan, Yidu and other surrounding areas.

  The newly opened Yidu Yasi International Plaza this year is another masterpiece of Yasi Group’s independent operation from the early real estate project development to the later investment operation. In terms of the format combination of the shopping center, Yasi’s third-generation boutique supermarket, Yasi Food City and other formats independently operated by Yasi Group are all included.

  It can be said that Yas International Plaza in Yidu, to a certain extent, is a new combination of Yas Group’s diversified and multi-format development, and it is also a concentrated expression of Yas Group’s diversified comprehensive management strength from starting from a 400-square-meter food supermarket to successively acquiring commercial properties with heavy assets and multi-format development mode, joining the international SPAR to upgrade its management technology, and getting involved in commercial real estate, hotels, restaurants, finance, entertainment and tourism.

  On the banks of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges, what kind of business development model is Hubei Yasi using to interpret the road map for modern regional retail enterprises to become stronger and bigger by opening up new businesses?

  Asset-oriented model development gene

  From the current high rental cost in the industry, more and more enterprises have to close their stores because they can’t afford it. The asset-oriented development model has become an important embodiment of the core competitiveness of enterprises.

  In fact, in this respect, Yas Group has had more than ten years of development experience.

  "In September 1999, we opened the first 390-square-meter chain store, which also marked that Yas officially embarked on the enterprise development model of chain retail." Du Xiaoyi, chairman of Hubei Yasi Group, told the reporter that in August 2000, Yichang Yasi Discount Plaza with a business scale of 5,000 square meters was officially opened, which also laid the foundation for Yasi to develop chain retail.

  Subsequently, from 2001 to 2005, it was a period of rapid development of Yas’s chain retail business. During this period, Yas successively acquired several large commercial properties in Yichang and its surrounding areas, which enabled the chain retail scale to expand rapidly.

  For the retail business that quickly formed a heavy asset model before 2005, Du Xiaoyi said frankly that it benefited from the favorable big business environment at that time. "On the one hand, the chain retail industry was a sunrise industry that was very popular with consumers at that time, and the retail market was not yet open to foreign retail enterprises on a large scale, and the growth environment of domestic retail enterprises was still very relaxed; On the other hand, the operating costs such as rent and labor were still at a low level, which was very important for the retail enterprises of labor-intensive enterprises.

  After the chain retail industry has formed a certain scale, especially after the country opened the retail market to foreign capital in December 2004, the domestic retail enterprises that are still in their infancy are facing the market threat of "wolf coming". In fact, many retail enterprises have really become standardized and mature since this period.

  How to balance technology and strategy?

  "In 2005, Yas officially joined the international SPAR, which was known for its own brand and management technology at that time, and it was also the third enterprise in China to join the organization." Du Xiaoyi told reporters that enterprises should find different development priorities at different stages of development, especially for entrepreneurs, which is a challenge to strategic choice.

  In 2007, after the chain retail business has entered the stage of stable development, Yas established the independently operated Daji Real Estate Co., Ltd., specializing in commercial real estate development and commercial property management.

  As a result, Yasi Group has gradually formed a dual-core driving operation mode with commercial real estate development as the guide and commercial format combination investment operation as the core.

  Looking back on the development of Yas Group for more than ten years, from the acquisition of commercial properties in the initial stage of business to joining the international SPPAR, from the development of commercial real estate to the extension of the upstream supply chain and diversified businesses such as hotels, finance, catering and tourism, every strategic decision of enterprise development directly injects new impetus into the business growth of Yas Group.

  "As an entrepreneur, blindly pursuing perfection at the technical level will often make entrepreneurs lose their grasp of the timing of corporate strategic decision-making and lose their keen market insight." Du Xiaoyi said frankly that joining the international SPAR has indeed brought obvious improvement to the management technology of Yas supermarket stores, but if an enterprise focuses too much on the improvement and innovation of specific technologies, it will inevitably affect the decision-making of the enterprise’s big strategic direction, because the market environment, consumption environment and big economic environment are changing rapidly.

  In fact, it’s not hard to see that the double-core driving mode of commercial real estate and commercial operation has continuously expanded the market in Yichang, Xiangfan, Jingmen and other regions in the past two years. Du Xiaoyi’s big store strategy, diversified and multi-format business extension mode are promoting the arrival of a new round of rapid growth period of Yas Group.

  This also explores a reference model for regional retail enterprises to continue to be stronger and bigger for the whole traditional retail industry in the period of slow growth.

  Front-line employees are more loyal.

  No matter how advanced the store management technology is, the entrepreneur’s strategic choice is correct. If there is no staff team that can stand the test of the market, where can the enterprise develop? Especially at present, China has entered an era of high labor costs, and the demographic dividend is no longer the advantage of retail enterprises.

  However, for more than ten years, why has the staff team of Yas Group had a very high loyalty and cohesion? "Work is life-oriented, life is happy." Du Xiaoyi told reporters that his main job now is to think about how to make employees happy every day.
In order to make front-line employees feel the corporate culture of Yas’s "big family", Yas often organizes front-line employees to carry out some collective activities, or go out for a trip, or hold some entertainment activities. Even if they just watch a movie and just get together to chat, Du Xiaoyi will personally ask the relevant person in charge, and the employees are not satisfied with the activities.

  Du Xiaoyi also made no secret of his preference for front-line employees. In his eyes, front-line employees are even more important than his "right-hand man", which is also inseparable from the business philosophy of Yas "big family" that Du Xiaoyi is willing to give and share with employees.

  "Whether it is a senior management or a front-line employee, the salary offered by Yas must be guaranteed to be the highest among local retail enterprises. First of all, it must be given to employees materially." Du Xiaoyi told reporters that being good for employees is actually good for the development of enterprises. When employees feel the love of the enterprise, they will naturally cherish their work more, and their enthusiasm and initiative will naturally improve, which will enter a virtuous circle of mutual understanding with employees.

  Transplanting Yasi landscape

  The timely timing of enterprise development strategy has contributed to the diversified and multi-format development pattern of Hubei Yasi today, which is attributed to the strategic vision and management wisdom of Chairman Du Xiaoyi.

  Perhaps some enterprises will question, how much of Yas’s experience can be suitable for their own enterprises? The author believes that at least three points are worth learning from the regional retail enterprises that want to become stronger and bigger.

  Take how to operate a commercial complex as an example. In the past two years, more and more enterprises have tried to develop and operate commercial complex projects, but it seems that these are all strong enterprises. Then, can regional leading enterprises and enterprises with a scale of 300 million to 100 million operate commercial complex projects? How to try this new business field?

  According to the author’s understanding, a retail enterprise in Shandong with an annual sales of 500 million yuan and a community supermarket as its core business has already planned to operate a commercial complex, which actually represents the next development idea of a considerable number of regional retail enterprises. At present, what everyone lacks most is experience in this field.

  In this regard, Yas’s development model has accumulated mature operational experience for some regional growth enterprises interested in expanding in new business areas. In this regard, Du Xiaoyi will also share Yas’s operation mode in this respect with the industry based on the commercial complex he is currently operating.

  This reminds me of the 3rd China Community Business Development Forum, which was hosted by our newspaper in Tangshan in April this year. At that time, more than 300 business operators from all over the country were eager to learn the curiosity suitable for their own model, which made me admire it very much, and also made me understand that the more grounded and similar the market environment, the more worth learning.

  This year, Yas has opened a third-generation boutique supermarket in its own commercial complex. The management orientation of its third-generation boutique supermarket is not to engage in market competition, not to distribute posters, to refuse price wars, to pursue high gross profit rate and to adopt more targeted and precise marketing. During the newly opened period, the average sales volume of the store increased by nearly 30% compared with the same-size stores.

  Its greatest success is to explore a set of systematic store-opening models with different business styles and market positioning according to the characteristics of different business districts.

  Doing business in partnership between enterprises and employees is another innovative highlight of Yas’s management. This is forbidden in many enterprises, but Yas dares to let some employees with ability and resources boldly develop the business resources needed by the company.

  In fact, Yas has formed a mature management and operation mode in terms of loyalty building for front-line employees, expansion of new business areas, combined operation of commercial complexes, etc. The rest is to see if our enterprise has a pair of wise eyes and a heart of learning.

Hong Kong’s economic recovery is improving, focusing on tackling chronic diseases of people’s livelihood.

Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, December 26th Title: Hong Kong’s economic recovery is improving, focusing on tackling chronic diseases of people’s livelihood.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Xu Wang Xi Chen Peiying Huang Qiantian

In 2021, Hong Kong’s economy will recover strongly, and the SAR government predicts that the annual growth is expected to reach 6.4%.

This year, international finance centre’s position remained stable, and the latest ranking of international institutions rose by one place and returned to the third place.

This year, Hong Kong made a long-term plan, and it is expected that the core issues of economic and social development, such as housing problems and innovative technology, will be solved.

Confidence in a strong economic recovery has steadily increased.

"Hong Kong’s economy has recovered strongly this year." E Zhihuan, chief economist of BOC Hong Kong, has a clear view: "In sync with the major economies in the world, Hong Kong has entered the track of strong recovery, and this trend will continue."

Ou Xixiong, economic adviser to the SAR Government, said that the sharp improvement in external factors was the main driving force for Hong Kong’s economic recovery.

The unemployment rate in Hong Kong has also continued to improve this year. According to the latest labor force statistics released by the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government on December 16th, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped from 4.3% from August to October in 2021 to 4.1% from September to November in 2021.

Another highlight of Hong Kong’s economy is that inflation is under control. Unlike the recovery of many economies and the deterioration of inflation, consumer prices in Hong Kong have only increased slightly. In the first three quarters of this year, the basic consumer price inflation was 0.4%, and the overall consumer price inflation rate for the whole year was predicted to be 1.6%.

A number of recent surveys show that business confidence in Hong Kong has steadily increased.

According to the "Business Prospects Questionnaire Survey" of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, nearly half of the enterprises surveyed expect that the turnover next year will increase compared with this year.

Housing and people’s livelihood pain points will become the focus of policy.

Ms. Li, who lives in public housing (low-rent housing in Hong Kong), is obsessed with moving to a big house: "My daughter is older, a little rebellious, and she often conflicts with her father, even if she is given a small space."

28 square meters, five people. This is the status quo of Ms. Li’s family. The two older daughters slept in bunk beds, huddled behind the door, and the mother took the younger daughter to sleep in the cabin. If I hadn’t got through the balcony, my father’s sofa wouldn’t be open.

According to the data of the Housing Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government, there are now more than 250,000 applications waiting for public housing, and the waiting time is nearly six years.

Housing is the biggest pain point of Hong Kong society. For a long time, it is difficult to reach a consensus on how to solve it.

In 2021, with the care and support of the central government, Hong Kong got rid of the haze of social tears, and the SAR government and all walks of life increasingly focused on solving people’s livelihood problems.

The core of Hong Kong’s housing problem is the land problem. According to the latest figures released by the Housing Department, about 350 hectares of land have been found in the next decade, which can build about 330,000 public housing units. According to the Housing Department, this is a new high in recent years, and the multi-pronged land search strategy of the SAR Government has achieved results.

What is even more encouraging is the planning of the "Northern Metropolitan Area". In the policy address in October this year, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, proposed to build a "Northern Metropolitan Area" covering an area of 300 square kilometers in northern Hong Kong, which is suitable for living, industry and tourism. While meeting the housing needs of about 2.5 million people, it can also form a strategic layout of "two cities and three circles" with Shenzhen, and play a "double engine" role for the country and produce a "strong joint force" role.

Hong Kong still has good opportunities without fear of western smearing.

Peter Stein, a Danish businessman who is talking business in Europe, is eager to return to Hong Kong, even if he has to spend the whole Christmas holiday together with New Year’s Day in an isolation hotel. Hong Kong has his business and his family.

"I like the freedom of Hong Kong, especially the combination of busy city life and beautiful countryside." Peter Stein, who started a medical device company in Hong Kong in 1994, said, "One of my best experiences was hiking in the mountains. When I was hiking on Lantau Island, I could hear Donald singing in Disneyland. This will not be found in other parts of the world, only in Hong Kong. "

He found that what people in Europe are talking about in Hong Kong is totally different from the Hong Kong where he lives. "They believe the information in those media, and they are misled!" Peter Stein believes, "For young people, Hong Kong is the place with the best opportunities in the world. Hong Kong is a Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with more than 80 million people. It has a good infrastructure and many excellent companies and enterprises. "

It takes time to eliminate the smear of western media, but western business circles still have confidence in Hong Kong.

According to the 30th "Global Financial Center Index" report of Z/Yen Group and China (Shenzhen) Comprehensive Development Research Institute, the overall ranking of Hong Kong, China rose by one place from March this year to the third place in the world.

In the global IPO market, KPMG reported that as of December 5, the total IPO amount of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2021 was $39 billion, and the amount of funds raised ranked fourth in the world.

The Hong Kong bond market in 2021 is also extremely active. Renminbi bonds, in particular, experienced a downturn in previous years. In 2021, 20 billion yuan from the Ministry of Finance and 5 billion yuan from Shenzhen were issued in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong SAR Government also issued 5 billion yuan of offshore RMB green bonds for the first time, which was enthusiastically sought after.

The smooth development of bond links and "cross-border wealth management links" highlights the advantages of connectivity between Hong Kong and the Mainland. Raymond Yue, president of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, said that foreign investors are most concerned about how to better seize the opportunities in the Hong Kong and mainland markets and how to strengthen the development of new fields such as financial technology and green finance. With the continuous advancement of interconnection, Hong Kong’s financial industry will gain greater development momentum.

Innovation and entrepreneurship, in the best times and the best regions.

Wu Xueming, who graduated from Harvard University, started his business in Hong Kong, and then moved to Foshan and Jiangmen to set up business parks. The persistent epidemic has allowed Wu Xueming to conduct his own mainland enterprises by remote video.

"This is the best entrepreneurial era, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is the best entrepreneurial area." Wu Xueming said.

Zhan Peixun organized youth science and technology exchange activities in Hong Kong for a long time, and finally could not hold back his entrepreneurial passion. He started his own unmanned vehicle project in Shenzhen at the beginning of this year. At present, his company has obtained the first unmanned test license granted by the Transport Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

He can list a lot of complementary advantages of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and he is deeply impressed by the support policies of various places for Hong Kong Youth. He recently visited Guangzhou Nansha, Shenzhen Qianhai, Futian Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cooperation Zone and other places, and found that all places tried their best to attract Hong Kong youths to get in, stay and blend in. "For Hong Kong youths who are interested in starting businesses, this is definitely the best place to land.".

The Hong Kong SAR Government is also determined to enhance its support for innovation and technology. In the 2021 policy address, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced that it would immediately study the expansion of the Science Park, and suggested that the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Science and Technology Park, which is being built in Hetao, should be integrated with Lok Ma Chau and Xintian to form a "Xintian Science and Technology City".

Liang Haiming, president of Silk Road Zhigu Research Institute, is very optimistic about this area. Xintian Science and Technology City has about 240 hectares of land related to Chuangke, and together with Shenzhen Chuangke Park, it forms a Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone covering an area of about 540 hectares.

Yang Yuchuan, a visiting professor in hong kong financial services institute, suggested that Hong Kong should give full play to its special advantages and attract international scientific research talents in the future, so as to make Hong Kong a science and technology innovation center that gathers talents from home and abroad for common development.

Freed from the constraints of "pan-politicization", Hong Kong concentrates on planning long-term development. "In the past, we didn’t have the courage, knowledge or conditions to plan the future for Hong Kong." In a forum in October, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that the two major measures taken by the central authorities, including the Hong Kong National Security Law, have restored our stability, and improving the electoral system has enabled us to ensure that "patriots govern Hong Kong". Now it is time to forge ahead, make a fresh start and plan for the future of Hong Kong.

The iconic side-opening tailgate of the hard-core off-road vehicle is not absent, and it is opened on the left side. The taillight group is also consistent with the headlights. It is also a vertically arranged LED taillight, which also shows the visual characteristics of "I" after lighting.

  The black wheel eyebrows are matched with a strong cross-border style, and the toy atmosphere is remarkable. The stout five-spoke wheel hub is full of sports sense, and it adopts the 225/55R19 tire of RADIAL RP76 series under Chaoyang brand, which focuses on comfort and silence.

  Interior: Hardliners are not only in appearance.

  This is a car that looks the same. The interior and appearance of iCAR 03 are the same design style. It also uses a lot of square elements and is decorated with rose gold metal to create a tough atmosphere, but the R angle is more rounded to enhance the gentle feeling. The center console adopts the conventional T-shaped symmetrical layout, which well balances the needs of science and technology and practicality. The whole cockpit is made of a lot of soft plastics and leather. Although it is tough, it does not have the high cold feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

  The steering wheel adopts a three-piece design, and a large area of leather material is used to wrap it, supplemented by bright stitching, which has a good performance in texture. The button areas on the left and right sides adopt the layout of wheels with physical buttons, and there are few buttons, so it is very easy to get started and do not need extra learning.

  The 15.6-inch floating central control panel is the core of human-computer interaction of the whole vehicle, which supports OTA upgrade and two kinds of chip selection. The car machine and Tencent have made customized development based on Android system, and the interface is more concise and refreshing, integrating commonly used online maps, love listening, car WeChat, Huawei Hicar and other functions. In terms of voice control, iCAR 03 is equipped with i-VA intelligent interactive system, which can carry out humanized in-depth communication and entertainment interaction, with remarkable recognition and response logic. Regardless of response speed logic and timbre, "human taste" is stronger than similar products.

  In the aspect of driving assistance, the new car uses the strategy of visual intelligent driving assistance, which has the driving assistance ability above L2 level. On the basis of this, it can realize the driving assistance functions such as forward safety assistance, emergency lane keeping, lane departure warning, lane departure assistance, and the start reminder of the preceding vehicle, which is mainstream and practical.

  Through design is adopted under the center console, which expands the storage space in the front row, retains some practical buttons, and the crystal design knob with advanced section can switch driving modes. There is also a wireless charging panel with air cooling on the side, which supports 50W fast charging.

  Space: compact but not small.

  ICAR 03 adopts a chair with a conventional shape, which has good support and wrapping, and the filler is tough. It refers to a large number of human model data to fill different areas in a targeted manner. The wide headrest can reduce the fatigue caused by long-distance riding, and the surface is covered with delicate leather. Functionally, the front seats are electrically adjustable with heating and ventilation.

  The rear seat maintains the same design and comfort as the front seat, the long cushion supports the thighs better, and the rear middle platform is relatively flat, which does not affect the riding comfort of the middle passengers. It is equipped with three independent headrests in the rear row, three sets of three-point seat belts, and the rear air outlet and charging interface ensure comfort. Compared with the front row, there is no difference in the overall riding experience in the back row, and even the hip point is lower. Whether it looks or feels, it is quite good to sit up and the space is very decent.

  The conventional space in the five-seat state is average, but the very neat internal structure improves the utilization rate of the whole space. If more loading space is needed, the 4/6 split back seat can be dumped to expand to a larger volume, while the chair back and floor have no big angle and are less constrained to use.

  In addition to its attractive appearance, the external small plastic schoolbag has another advantage that it does not occupy the passenger space. Generally speaking, it is the volume level of a 20-inch boarding box. The interior is not only sealed, but also has a net bag stopper, which can store items that need to be isolated from the passenger compartment.

  Test drive: Multi-driving mode is the highlight

  In terms of power configuration, iCAR 03 provides two power options: single-motor rear drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive. Among them, the maximum power of the single motor version is 135kW, and the double motor version is the first 70kW plus the last 135kW. Both the front and rear are permanent magnet synchronous motors.

  As for batteries, iCAR 03 will be equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. In terms of cruising range, according to different models, the official cruising range of iCAR 03 is 401/472/501km. It is worth mentioning that the new car is equipped with an intelligent temperature control system, and the battery system will be maintained in a suitable temperature range to achieve high-efficiency energy output. Even in the face of low temperature, the endurance performance can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, which is very beneficial. Improve the endurance performance of the vehicle under normal use in the northern low temperature environment.

  We have seen the same power system in many pure trams of Chery Group, and their personalities are relatively unified. In normal mode, you can feel the unique direct feeling of initial acceleration from the moment you step on the accelerator pedal. The whole acceleration process is very smooth, and the continuous acceleration can give people a strong feeling of power, and the power output is quite linear. When you accelerate twice in the middle, a strong continuous push back feeling can also give you.

  Let’s focus on its changeable personality. The new car has iWD intelligent electronic control four-wheel drive and 8+X mode, that is, economy/comfort/sport/bump/wet/muddy/loose/all-road/user-defined driving mode. Users can switch flexibly according to road conditions and personal preferences. In the user-defined mode, pedal response, energy recovery and steering mode can be customized, and dozens of driving mode schemes can be assembled at most, with high degree of freedom.

  However, too many choices will definitely make you have a choice phobia. In most road conditions, the difference in power output in economy/comfort/sports mode will not be too obvious. The main difference is only the response of the accelerator pedal, because even if you are willing to step on the accelerator pedal in economy mode, the power can still give you a strong sense of pushing back in a short time, and if you enter sports mode, the power point will be there. You can start gently or accelerate grumpily.

  There are four gears to choose from in the kinetic energy recovery mode. Personally, I prefer a strong state. Although there will be a short delay in braking when collecting oil, I can feel the dragging feeling that is more like the kinetic energy recovery of new energy vehicles in the stereotype, even heavier than the general single pedal logic. As for the weakest mode, the deceleration G value is very small, which makes people feel no different from the loosening deceleration of fuel vehicles.

  Born on an aluminum-based platform, iCAR 03 uses the former McPherson independent suspension and the rear H-arm independent suspension. In design, it has been optimized and improved in many mechanical parts such as the "second suspension" with the "Land Rover Homologous" engineers, and the hydraulic bushings with higher cost are used before and after. Under the adjustment of engineers, the dynamic performance of the vehicle chassis has reached a good balance between comfort and support. The European style in the overall stereotype of chassis adjustment is very supportive, and the sense of road is very clear, which is rarely seen in SUV, but there are a little more ups and downs, but this will probably be improved in the subsequent production version.

  Lightweight and flexible steering is absolutely wonderful. Moderate steering wheel size brings excellent and delicate steering feel. It is an SUV, but its body follows well, the turning radius is extremely small, and even the inside wheels of the brakes can be used to "turn around the tank", which is very convenient for extreme driving or daily urban roads. However, the sound insulation is limited by the square box shape, mainly because the wind noise of A-pillar in high-speed driving is obvious.

  In most cases, iCAR’s four-wheel drive system is obviously designed to improve the driving quality and prepare for crossing on occasional unpaved sections. How does it face several mild off-road subjects?

Hard-core small "tide box" first test drive iCAR 03

  In fact, the driving experience of urban SUV on paved and unpaved roads is quite different. Because of the aluminum-based body-in-white with embedded girders, the rigidity of the body is greater than that of the general urban SUV, and the suspension shock absorber also adopts a longer stroke structure, which has a longer absorption time and more sufficient rebound absorption when experiencing some uneven roads, and there is no sense of looseness when sitting in the car.

  Therefore, when encountering some bad road conditions on unpaved roads, it is not obvious when passing quickly to the driver, but the driving control feeling is also more fun than the performance on the highway. Facing the light cross-country track with the attitude of running tension, iCAR 03 is very comfortable in the less severe cross-country field, and it is very interesting to drive even when facing the curve.

  In the central control room, you can also know the first-hand road condition data information in real time, such as the slope and direction, and you can also know the ground condition through the image of the central control screen, which is helpful for off-road.

  Cutting into different modes is suitable for short-term light off-road sections, and it is more emboldened to face unpaved ramps, and the driving force has different changes in different modes. However, in such a light off-road venue, you can actually face the whole process calmly when you enter the concave-convex road mode.

  Including the small challenge of wading at a depth of 50 cm, in fact, with the long suspension stroke and good sealing, iCAR03 can ensure four-wheel landing in most cases, thus reducing the possibility of power loss. The more powerful four-wheel drive system is safer to pass here.

  At the cannonball pit and the cross axle, we will encounter the situation that one or two tires lose grip from the ground. iCAR shows obvious slipping phenomenon in the face of various inclined cross axle sections, but it seems that it has no influence on the passing subjects of the whole vehicle. The large approach angle, departure angle and high ground clearance play a big role, and it can also effectively deal with these extreme off-road conditions for urban SUVs.

  The steep slope descent function can automatically help drivers control the downhill speed. The steeper the slope, the slower the speed, which reduces the driving difficulty for novices. However, iCAR 03 adds intelligent speed regulation to the steep slope descent, and the newly added "flexible downhill" system can automatically adjust the speed within the range of 3-12km/h according to the pitch angle and other information. On our steep slope with a gradient of more than 40, the vehicle keeps driving at a constant speed of less than 5 kilometers per hour when going downhill, and we just need to hold the steering wheel well.

  Summary: SUV craze has been going on for more than ten years, but the style is almost the same. Just like a few years ago, all kinds of SUVs got together to play cross-country and cross-border, today’s SUVs began to get together to play with square boxes, and among them, iCAR03 became the most square one I have tried so far. Based on this, it has a very high degree of topic.

  Back to the beginning, this tidal box shape, perhaps this is its biggest competitive point.

    What should I do if I want to exercise, be comfortable and have four seats and enough space? Then look at this "three guns". We have just tested Porsche and AMG, both of which are 4 stars, but this time it’s Panamera’s big brother, the turbocharged version, and the old Audi. Who is the winner? Who is more comprehensive? Because if you want to win the "box office champion", you must not only be brave, but also have a "plan".

Evaluation of Panamera, e63ag, RS6 in three-shot duel.

    The same four doors and four seats, although Porsche’s 500 horsepower is the weakest, from the appearance, compared with Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG and Audi RS6, Panamera Turbo is obviously special. 5 meters long, it has a maximum luggage compartment space of 1250 liters and a fuel tank volume of 100 liters — — Most sports cars don’t have such charm. Also, Porsche has put too much effort into this new model with internal code name G1, so it is normal for it to gain more favorable feelings from people.

    Since it is likely to fall in love at first sight, and since the Panamera Turbo appears for the first time, we will take Porsche as the benchmark for this comparative test article.

    The first shot: Porsche is amazing, but its shortcomings are obvious.

Evaluation of Panamera, e63ag, RS6 in three-shot duel.
In this case, Porsche’s four-wheel drive system is not efficient enough.

    After sitting in the Panamera Turbo, its charm will attract you at once. The seat position is the lowest in this class, which is very Porsche, but contrary to Porsche tradition, they have become a little wider. On this basis, Panamera provides a separate suite for each passenger.

Excellent sense of sports car, four seats, which is a unique pleasure provided by Porsche.

Attractive and traditional instruments, especially the navigation system, surprise people.

    However, there must be some people who complain that Porsche’s seats are not "reassuring" to others, and despite the huge and changeable luggage compartment, Panamera’s space for passengers does not match its 5-meter figure. Imagine that if a Japanese designer cuts out such a stingy interior space from such a sufficient body, then he will definitely wave the Tatsu Yamashiro — — Cut more space or cut yourself open. Not to mention that the adjustment device of the rear seat needs to increase the price. Only if the front passenger is tall, then he must care about his friends in the back seat and have to move the seat forward a few centimeters. As a result, no matter what he feels or what passers-by see, he will feel very uncomfortable about the proportion of the whole car.

Spoiler capable of changing in four stages

    It is true that Porsche fans can still get everything they want from Panamera even if they don’t move. After paying 135,000 euros, you have a lot of exquisite leather decorations, and Alcantara hugs you, including the top of your head. Touch-screen navigation system is particularly commendable, it is very user-friendly, and there is a parking assistance system that is of great help to anyone — — I say anyone, because Panamera’s vision is extremely limited.

Various adjustment functions have their own exclusive buttons.

    On the other hand, although the starting price has been reduced by 30,000 euros, the rich configuration can still meet your needs. The Audi RS6 is based on the sturdy A6. Although the sports seat is slightly higher, it is comfortable to ride, and the carbon fiber and metal trim are even more refreshing. It can be said that Porsche and Audi don’t need any improvement in the interior, but Mercedes-Benz AMG may make people a little unhappy. Although it also has sports seats, carbon fiber and metal decoration, E 63 AMG is obviously simple and far less refined than the above two "brothers".

 


The first shot: Porsche is amazing, but its shortcomings are obvious.


 

    Second shot: Porsche has the strongest speed and acceleration performance.

Open the engine compartment, which one will you hug?
They are naturally aspirated, turbocharged and double turbocharged respectively.

    Mercedes-Benz will not let people down, I think many people will have this idea, so wake up AMG first, and it is the only naturally aspirated engine among the three. By the way, the actual displacement of AMG numbered 6.3 is 6.2 liters, which can actually be traced back to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (Gallery Forum) EL 6.3&mdash in 1968; — That savage revolutionary deserves credit for his deceptive symbol. But why has no one accused Mercedes-Benz of being a big liar for a long time? I think V8′ s excellent popularity has made people forget this for a long time. The same is true now. The 525 HP V8 of E 63 AMG dispels people’s worries only through sound waves. Its speed rises extremely quickly, and you will not be limited by the turbocharger. Moreover, the 7-speed automatic gearbox is seamlessly matched with it, and the shift is fast and smooth. When necessary, it takes only 100 milliseconds to complete the shift using M mode. In this appraisal, Mercedes-Benz AMG surpassed Audi and Porsche 7-speed PDK.

Evaluation of Panamera, e63ag, RS6 in three-shot duel.
Shock absorption and steering have a high balance, and the V8 engine is powerful.

    Now come to the Audi RS6 with the highest horsepower. The 580-horsepower 5.0-liter V10 is related to Lamborghini. Although it has been domesticated, the rumbling sound is still somewhat unpleasant and even boring. However, with the help of two turbochargers of IHI, you will gradually smile until your mouth is completely opened under the pressure of G value. Because of all-wheel drive, the big guy weighing 2058kg can get traction almost all the time, and the 6-speed automatic gearbox can always be in the proper transmission ratio. Even if the weight is increased by 0.5 tons during the test, RS6 has no scruples to challenge the speed limiter (not only 250 kilometers, but also the maximum speed limit can be set at 280 kilometers per hour). When the speed reaches 260 kilometers, the exhaust pipe will make a grunt when it is shifted to the highest gear — — Great. At this time, in addition to the rare sense of speed, you will clearly feel that Audi perfectly combines power and comfort.

Evaluation of Panamera, e63ag, RS6 in three-shot duel.
Driving AMG is the easiest, but the interior material may be unsatisfactory.

    To say that the combination is perfect, we really can’t forget the Mercedes-Benz in front, because comprehensiveness is the magic weapon that it can always stand out from the crowd. In addition to the excellent shock absorption effect, a large number of auxiliary systems work extremely effectively, but the maximum speed enjoyed is limited to 250 kilometers per hour — — If you want to continue to 300 kilometers per hour, you need to pay 3927 euros including training expenses.

Mercedes-Benz’s ceramic brake disc is 402 mm, which also needs to be increased.    

Evaluation of Panamera, e63ag, RS6 in three-shot duel.
This regulation system is a big reason for people to pay for AMG.

    It’s much easier to drive the Porsche Panamera Turbo into the 300km club. You just need to press a Sport Plus button, otherwise it won’t move forward after reaching 270km/h in comfort mode. Here, in order to improve stability, Porsche has a little secret, that is, there is a spoiler called "rabbit house" in the rear of the car. It is not only a simple expansion, but also can be understood through levels.

    In the end, Porsche still can’t underestimate the 4.8-liter V8 in acceleration performance because it surpassed 300 wins. Perhaps Porsche’s power is the poorest of the three, but looking at the torque, Audi’s 650 Nm is proud enough (Mercedes-Benz’s 630 Nm is also extravagant enough), but Porsche has reached 700 Nm through turbocharging, and even climbed to the peak of 770 Nm after strengthening the turbocharging value. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Panamera was ahead of its competitors, and Audi was always at a disadvantage because of its big size.

    The powerful Porsche has lowered its previous disadvantages through performance, and the fuel consumption will naturally be affected. Fortunately, there is little difference. When the speed is 220km/h, the highest 7th gear of the dual clutch gearbox is used, and the speed is only 3000 rpm. Which gear to use is very important for dieting, because the fuel consumption can vary from 9.5 liters to 25 liters, and the average fuel consumption in ams test is about 18 liters. The more powerful Audi and Mercedes-Benz performed slightly better, at the cost that they could not surpass Porsche.

The heavy front load and Torsten differential make RS6 prone to understeer.

Compare and evaluate Model 3 and Model Y! Buy 3 or Y?

Tesla, which sells well in China market, brought a heavy news on the first day of 21 years. It announced the price of domestic Model Y, and the standard endurance all-wheel drive version was 339,900 yuan. At the same time of domestic price reduction, it also attracted many competitors, including the middle and high versions of its own Model 3. Many people will have questions. To buy the first Tesla, should I buy 3 or Y? Today, I said that I found the high-performance version of Model 3 and the all-wheel drive version of Model Y, and made a horizontal comparison for everyone.

1. Who is better to "sit"?

Space is an eternal topic for China people to buy a car, so the biggest feeling of Model Y this time is big. Compared with Model 3, the most obvious manifestation of Model Y is that it is wider and towering, so the two cars will look bloated in contrast. Without the flexible feeling of Model 3, the gray paint of the test drive will be more dull.

The two cars have the same performance in the interior, and everything is so familiar. The storage space in the T-shaped area is rich, and the button-type charging area of the mobile phone card has been changed from the original piano paint cover to a single-layer suede wireless charging area. The original "creaking" clamshell storage compartment has also become a push-pull cover, and the overall feeling is much cleaner and neater. On the door panel of the car door, there are also more "special" decorative plates for China-made models, which are more abundant.

The rear is the conventional cup holder and armrest box. There is flocking inside the storage compartment in the T-shaped area, which can also protect the valuable products in the storage compartment when the vehicle is shaking, adding a layer of collision buffer. It is also equipped with two Type-C charging sockets, which can be charged by wire.

Then there is the performance of seating and space. The seats in the front row feel similar in height between the two cars. After all, from the appearance of the seats, the seat accessories should be the same. However, because Model Y needs a higher sitting posture, Tesla simply raises the seat directly, resulting in a relatively large penetration under the seat, and water cups and bottles are easy to slide to the front row, which affects driving safety. It is suggested that two drawers can be equipped in the later stage, and storage space can be increased.

The feeling of the rear seat can be said that the difference is obvious. As we can see from the picture, the seat of Model 3 is longer, with better support and better softness. The seat of Model Y is shorter and harder than the seat of Model 3, and the support for the front of the thigh is not enough. Although it has a two-stage adjustable backrest, the overall sitting posture is relatively correct and the wrapping is not good. Without Model 3, you can be a little lazy and sit lower, so the supporting and wrapping nature is naturally not as good as Model 3.

Compared with Model 3, the wheelbase of Model Y is increased by 1.5 cm, so the performance of legroom is not much different between the two cars. The extended wheelbase and car length are reflected in the trunk.

Thanks to the shape of the SUV, the opening of the trunk is naturally larger than that of the car Model 3, and it is more convenient to carry goods in and out, and it can also support 4-2-4 seats to be laid down independently, which can make it easier to pull some long furniture items. Since Model Y provides 7-seat models in some market areas, the location where the seat was originally installed has also been changed to a small storage compartment. In addition, the platform under the cover plate also has a deeper storage compartment than Model 3, so you can put an extra backpack.

2. Who is better to "open"?

After comparing the space, it is obvious that Model Y is better. But when it comes to manipulation, Model 3 Performance says it has something to say. Although the car naturally has an advantage in handling, compared with the Model 3 with long battery life and rear drive, the Performance version will give you a more pure feeling of sports. On the Performance model, Pirelli P ZERO series tires with sports performance orientation are adopted, with the parameter of 235/40 R19. Although the tire thickness is not the thinnest, the support for line change and cornering is in place, and a balance is found between comfort and support.

The disadvantage is that the fine vibration and tire noise are relatively large, and the suspension can pull the car body. When the manhole cover is pressed and the fluctuation is relatively large, the suspension treatment is tough and has a sense of advanced. When passing through the dense speed bumps, the tires and chassis handle the high-frequency vibration too simply, which is followed by the vibration noise without texture, and it will spread to your skull. The buzzing sound is very annoying.

In daily driving, the steering feel of the steering wheel of Model 3 Performance is relatively heavy, and this problem also appears on Model Y, which is unfriendly to female drivers. The steering wheel is also biased when rubbing the library in place, which is worse than the experience of the long-life rear-drive version that I tested before.

By default, the Performance model adopts the four-wheel drive mode, which makes the front of the car less flexible than the long-life rear-drive version. However, at this time, you can turn on the track mode and adjust the power output to the rear-drive, which can reduce the weight of the steering wheel to a certain extent and make daily driving easier.

On the highway, one foot switch is pressed, and all thoughts are thrown away in an instant. But at this time, there are also unpredictable settings. Because the steering wheel turns from left to right only twice, the number of turns is small, and the steering ratio is small, the speed gain is faster than that of the car with a large steering ratio. When the steering wheel is gently turned at high speed, the left and right swing range of the car will be larger, which will easily encroach on the left and right lanes. If the novice is nervous, accidents may occur, which is still more dangerous.

The accelerator pedal is well received, and the position and damping feel are very good. This kind of accelerator pedal adjustment can give the driver more sense of security and exploration space for a model with an acceleration of 3.3 seconds. On the contrary, telex braking is not linear and comes quickly, and you may feel caught off guard for the first time.

The ground clearance of the Performance model is shorter than that of the ordinary Model 3, but the sitting posture is still relatively high, and with the cancellation of the dashboard, the whole view is better. The chassis is more compact and the movement is more crisp. However, whether it is Model 3 Performance or Model Y, the roll of the two cars in cornering is still relatively large, so it is recommended to control the speed.

Compared with Model 3 Performance, it feels like a car. It is said that my brother still feels like a big car when driving Model Y. This is because the vehicle is taller and wider, and the sitting posture in the front row will be later. The first time the vehicle starts, it will also feel that the pedal position of the suspended switch is just right, and the damping will be lighter than that of Model 3 Performance. Although the steering wheel is equally heavy, it is still somewhat harmonious on a medium-sized and large SUV, giving the driver confidence. The brakes are also telex, and the overall experience will be slower than that of Model 3. There is no room for gradual progress and it is not linear.

Chassis performance means that I think it is more ambiguous than feeling. It’s true that the vehicle is bigger and heavier and takes a more comfortable style, but compared with the relatively strong power system of the vehicle, the phenomenon of nodding and looking up when braking and starting is more obvious, and with the single pedal logic of the whole network, the pitch of the vehicle between acceleration and deceleration is obvious. The roll of the vehicle is also obvious when cornering. Although you will not feel flustered, the amplitude of the swing has made passengers feel uncomfortable.

In addition, when the rear suspension passes through a relatively large speed bump, the relatively stiff action and the feeling of throwing jump are given bad reviews, and this throwing jump will be accompanied by an abnormal sound of the suspension. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation since I tried so many cars. It may also be a problem with individual vehicles.

The driving performance of Model Y is much lighter than that of Model 3 Performance as a whole, and the tires are softer. What Model Y wants to create is a comfortable state, but the hard chassis in the initial stage will obviously be on some less well-paved roads in the city, and the fine vibration will be more obvious, and the support on high-speed road conditions is not enough. Therefore, there is still room for optimization in dynamic adjustment.

3. Buy Model 3 or Model Y?

From the previous experience, the overall experience of Model 3 Performance products will be more perfect, which is also because the Model 3 series models have been launched for a long time. As an SUV model with the same platform as Model 3, the texture of the car will be better.

However, the performance of Model Y in vertical and height space is beyond the reach of Model 3. If it is a big family user, it is obvious that Model 3 series is not competent. On the other hand, before the OTA of kinetic energy recovery option is upgraded back, the driving comfort still needs to test the driver’s technology.

Not only that, but in the design of the appearance, I also think that the tail of Model 3 series cars is compact and sexy, which is more vivid than the design of Model Y. In addition, the two cars also upgraded the low beam with lens and replaced the original chrome trim and door handle with black matte material. There is no doubt that the overall product strength of Model 3 will be more perfect.

Written in the last words:

Finally, make a summary of the two cars and talk about my views on independent new energy vehicles. First of all, Model 3 Performance and Model Y have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although some problems have been mentioned above, in general, the overall product strength of the two products is still relatively perfect. Model 3 will be more refined, while Model Y has the selling point of space.

And then look at a group of independent brands of new energy vehicles and new forces to build cars. In the past, we always said that independent brands can overtake through tram corners. Now, a few years later, when we test Tesla and look back at our own brands, it seems that the balance of excellent products is still slightly tilted towards the west. Obviously, our own brand still has a long way to go.
