Once a year, the year-end feast of riders-Guangzhou International Auto Show is coming! It is understood that the number of cars unveiled at this auto show reached 1,171, including 78 in the world. Both quantity and quality have leapt to a new level. What are the highlights of this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show? Which new cars deserve special attention? Let’s take a sneak peek.
[Auto Show Aspect 1] The first new car has increased greatly
At this year’s Guangzhou International Auto Show, the number of the world’s first cars reached 78, a lot more than the "40~50 models" of the fuel car times auto show. The increase in the number of new cars reflects the change in R&D thinking of car companies, and it is also in response to the market’s adjustment of operating strategies-this is a market that requires higher R&D and operating speed.
Among the 78 world first-time cars, there are 6 multinational car companies and 72 independent brands. Self-owned brands launch more new cars than multinational car companies, which is also in line with the current domestic market trend. According to the latest statistics of Chenglian Branch, from January to October this year, the market share of China’s own automobile brands reached 60%, an increase of 8.4 percentage points compared with the same period last year.
Among the 72 new cars launched by independent brands, many of them are still directed at the "explosion". It is impossible to get full marks or high marks for every car. However, in the current market environment, the market sales of two 80-point models (out of 100 points) are often not lower than that of a 99-point model-provided that car companies can bear the cost of "trial and error".
Comments:Frequent innovation will definitely increase the cost. However, no car company dares to stop, because if they don’t do it, their competitors will do it. Judging from the Guangzhou Auto Show, the "weather vane of the auto market", car companies have adapted to the new rhythm and intensity of the China market.
[Auto Show Aspect 2] "Intelligent" Advanced
At this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, the prefix of "smart driving" of new models basically carries the word "high-order", and it is not uncommon to have "end-to-end", "AI smart driving", "Robotaxi" and even "L4 automatic driving". As for L2+ intelligent driving assistance, it is just the default "standard".
"Intelligent driving" is the main application scenario of "intelligence", but it is far from all. At this year’s auto show, we can see the iterative upgrade of intelligent cockpit and intelligent interaction. Intelligent chassis and intelligent suspension can be carried on new cars at higher frequency.
This year’s auto show, from hardware to software, we can see the continuous evolution of "intelligence". You can see the increase of the upper limit of intelligence and the improvement of the lower limit of intelligence. It should be reminded that consumers should be skeptical about the "subversion" and "breakthrough" declared by car companies, and "innovation" should be gradual.
Comments:Automobile is a serious product related to people’s lives. In the final analysis, intelligence depends on technical maturity, safety, reliability, cost and experience.
[Auto Show Aspect 3] "New Joint Venture Car" Reveals Clues
In the past two decades, joint venture car companies have been the focus of the domestic automobile industry. Which road should the joint venture model take? Joint venture car companies have begun a new round of exploration, either fast or slow, or up or down, or up or down. Among them, there are many new models.
Facing the evaluation of "slow transformation", the joint venture car companies are determined to reverse the old image at this Guangzhou Auto Show. Take Guangqi Honda as an example. At this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, Guangqi Honda will present a brand-new Ye P product sequence and a brand-new W pure electric architecture. By the end of this year, Guangqi Honda’s annual production capacity of 120,000 production lines will be put into production. By 2027, Guangqi Honda will launch six new pure electric vehicles.
From this Guangzhou Auto Show, it is expected that "new joint venture vehicles" based on new ideas will be seen one after another next year, and the success or failure of joint venture vehicle enterprises’ transformation will be seen the year after next.
Comments:middleIn recent years, the development speed of the car has far exceeded expectations, which is unexpected by the joint venture car companies. It takes time to adjust the strategy, and it takes more time to see the results. From "mentoring" to "running side by side", and then seeking innovation and adapting together, joint venture car companies are integrating into the new historical process of "from big to strong" in China.
