In the parking scenario, the speed limit of VPA memory parking is increased from 15 km/h to 20 km/h. A large part of the reason why the parking system is not popular with users at this stage comes from the slow parking speed of the system . Behind the speed increase, it is precisely because of the addition of lidar that the vehicle's perception capabilities have been improved. The final development trend of automatic parking and functions is to wirelessly approach human driving. Otherwise, it will not be accepted by users and its value will naturally not be reflected.

Quick review:

is burdened by the "family design style". Although Volkswagen's electric vehicle appearance design has more refined details and a sense of technology, the overall outline still lacks some freshness. The good news is that it's instantly recognizable as a Volkswagen.

However, although it lacks freshness, it still has to commend the public for its design skills. The proportions and lines of the body are very smooth, and there are no abrupt or strange points when looking at it. The fastback shape also brings an excellent drag coefficient of 0.228.

Through the renderings released by and the road map of the B9 Passat, we can judge that the car and screen will be improved. This is also a major pain point in the current Volkswagen ID. series and Volkswagen MQB EVO platform .

Among the existing products of the Volkswagen brand, the vehicle engine has always been a major pain point that has been criticized. Therefore, in the Accelerate (acceleration plan) released in March 2021, Volkswagen declared that it would become a "software-driven mobile provider." On December 7 of the same year, the CEO of Volkswagen Group became fully responsible for the work of the software department CARIAD.

At the end of April this year, Volkswagen held the "CARIAD China Strategy Conference" in China, determined to solve the pain points in the car experience. Whether the Passat B9 and ID.Vizzion, which will be released in the next two years, can solve the existing criticisms, it is worth looking forward to .

The 100,000th Leapmotor rolls off the production line

On June 28, 2022, Leopao ushered in the 100,000th production vehicle rolling off the production line. From the launch of Leopao's first mass-produced car S01 on June 28, 2019 to today's 100,000 units, it took Leapao three full years to complete this goal of .

In fact, many people were not optimistic about Leapao at the beginning, thinking that Leapao would die out within a year after the launch of S01. Although the market feedback of S01 was not particularly good, the emergence of T03 helped Leopao stabilize its position in the second echelon of new forces.

After having the T03, Leapao has been taking the cost-effective route of low-priced cars. Therefore, in October 2021, a higher-level mid-sized SUV, the Leapmo C11, was launched, with a price range of 150,000 to 200,000, and a maximum 90 kWh large battery. and the launch of C11 is to improve the overall image of Leapao, so that everyone no longer thinks that Leapao is just a company that makes scooters for the elderly.

At the same time, when C11 logs in to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for application, the production qualification will also be transferred to the Jinhua factory of Leapun for self-production. Leapmotor 's Jinhua factory covers an area of ​​551 acres. The base plans to build four major process workshops, including three electrical workshops and automobile core components. The flexible production line can realize the co-line production of components for three platforms and multiple models. The factory currently has a production capacity of 50,000 units. The factory is currently expanding its production capacity and plans to increase its production capacity to The planned production capacity is 250,000 units.

Quick comment:

The 100,000 units that rolled off the assembly line this time are the Leap Run C11 performance version that rolled off the assembly line at the Jinhua factory. In Zhu Jiangming 's zero-run 2.0 strategy, the medium and large sedan C01 is also on the market as scheduled and will be delivered in the third quarter of this year.

Obviously, Leapao has found confidence in existing products, and also summed up its own method: continuing to follow the cost-effective route, the price of C11 has more than doubled from the original T03’s 80,000 to 16-20 million, but this is still the midsize SUV with the biggest battery you can buy.

And C01 obviously continues this method. Users can buy an extra large cup for the price of a medium cup. Based on products, Leapao brand has achieved rapid upward breakthrough, but the road to more than 300,000 yuan is not easy. For Lingpao, products can serve as a stepping stone for the brand, but if it wants to go well and steadily, Lingpao must continue to work hard.
