　　 In April this year, the reporter randomly bought five bags of different varieties of rice in a large supermarket in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and then sent them to the China Academy of Inspection and Quarantine for testing. The test results are surprising. Among the five kinds of rice, three contain genetically modified ingredients. So far, the government of China has never approved the commercial cultivation of any kind of genetically modified rice, nor has it approved the import of genetically modified rice, which means that the genetically modified rice and rice products appearing in the market are illegal, and these illegal genetically modified products are quietly coming to people’s table.

　　 Transgenic component Bt63 was detected in the rice purchased in the supermarket.

　　 In recent years, there have been media reports that the rice sold in the surrounding markets in Wuhan, Hubei Province contains genetically modified ingredients. At the same time, rice products exported from China to the European Union are frequently found to contain genetically modified ingredients. In the EU’s rapid warning system for food and feed, in 2013 alone, rice products exported from China to the EU were found to contain genetically modified ingredients for 25 times.

　　 In April this year, the reporter bought five kinds of rice at random in a large supermarket in Wuhan, and then sent them to China Academy of Inspection and Quarantine for testing. The test results are surprising. Among the five kinds of rice, three contain the genetically modified ingredient Bt63, and most of the genetically modified ingredients displayed in the EU early warning system are of this type.

　　 Bt63 is a patented transgenic insect-resistant rice developed by the School of Life Science and Technology of Huazhong Agricultural University. It was successfully developed in 1999 and has been evaluated for 11 years. In 2009, Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice obtained the safety certificate of transgenic organisms, but it was not approved for commercial planting. According to "People’s Republic of China (PRC) Seed Law", genetically modified crops are not allowed to be planted commercially before obtaining the commercial planting license. Then, where did the rice containing Bt63 gene detected in the market come from, where was it planted, and where did the seeds come from?

　　 A kilo of rice is planted in 40 yuan, and many farmers grow insect-resistant rice.

　　 Zhongshan Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City is a famous seed street, where dozens of seed sales outlets, large and small, are concentrated. In April this year, during the rice planting season, the reporter came to this street, trying to find genetically modified rice seeds and then tracing their sources.

　　 I heard that the reporter wanted to buy insect-resistant rice, but the owners of several shops said that they didn’t. When asked why, they said that they had sold it before, but now it is strictly controlled and no one dares to sell it.

　　 After repeated questioning by reporters, a boss provided clues. According to this, the reporter went to Jinxing Village of Lingmiao in Jiangxia section for investigation, and found that many local farmers were planting genetically modified rice. They buy rice seeds at the seed sales point in Jinxing Village at the price of one catty in 40 yuan, but they usually buy rice seeds through acquaintances. For various reasons, the boss of the point of sale avoided the reporter’s interview.

　　 The source of transgenic rice seeds may be Huazhong Agricultural University.

　　 Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice is a patent of School of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University. Theoretically, Huanong is the original seed source of all the transgenic rice containing Bt63 in the market.

　　 Zhang Qifa, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, professor of Huanong College of Life Science, mainly engaged in molecular genetics and genetic engineering research, and the leader of Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice project. In the interview, Zhang Qifa did not deny the possibility of GM rice spreading from Huanong. According to him, there may be two channels: first, different units or individuals may take rice seeds when the results are displayed and identified in 1999; Second, when Huanong conducted a large-scale productive experiment in 2003, a subsidiary may illegally breed after taking the seeds.

　　 According to Zhang Qifa, in the 1990s, the state did not have strict legal provisions on the safety management of genetically modified organisms, and many scientific research achievements were shared by everyone. It was not until 2001 that the State Council issued and implemented the Measures for the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms that the safety management of genetically modified crops became standardized. Prior to this, seed companies could easily get Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice seeds, then breed them themselves and then enter the market.

　　 According to several media reports, Zhang Qifa was the CEO of a company named corneal, which was the important source of Huanong’s "intentional disclosure" of genetically modified rice.

　　 In this regard, Zhang Qifa said, "It is hard to say that it was intentionally leaked". At that time, the establishment of the company was a part of the country’s plan to promote the cultivation and industrialization of genetically modified crops. He introduced that according to the national regulations on the management of genetically modified crops, large-scale productive experiments must be carried out before genetically modified insect-resistant rice can obtain a biosafety certificate. In 2003, the Ministry of Agriculture approved 2,000 mu of farmland for the production test of Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice, in which hundreds of farmers participated. At the end of 2002, after the establishment of corneal Company, the production experiment of Bt63 transgenic insect-resistant rice was just completed.

　　 So, in the process of productive experiment, did it cause the leakage and diffusion of seeds? According to Zhang Qifa, corneal Company didn’t have seed production capacity at that time, but entrusted other seed companies to produce seeds, and then distributed the seeds to farmers after recycling them. In this process, the seed company has the possibility of leakage.

　　 The shopkeeper tore up the receipt and denied selling genetically modified rice seeds.

　　 The reporter went to Wulijie Town, Jiangxia District, Wuhan, which is also a major rice producing area. According to the interview experience in Duanlingmiao town, it is difficult for strangers to buy genetically modified rice seeds, so the reporter found a local farmer to help him buy them at the seed sales point in the town.

　　 According to the farmer, this kind of insect-resistant rice is very popular among farmers, because it can resist borers, and they can save the money for buying pesticides and the labor cost for spraying drugs, saving 200 to 300 yuan per mu, which is quite attractive to farmers with a gross income of only over 1000 yuan per mu.

　　 There are nearly ten seed shops in Wulijie town, large and small, and the farmers who help them enter a sales point called Jiexing Seed Shop. A few minutes later, the boss turned into the back room and took out two bags of genetically modified insect-resistant rice seeds. However, when the reporter entered the salesroom again, the proprietress said that she never sold genetically modified insect-resistant rice seeds.

　　 Subsequently, the reporter sent the purchased rice seeds to Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for testing, and the results showed that the rice seeds contained insect-resistant transgenic Bt63. According to the information on the packaging of the rice seed named "Liangyou Jianghui 902" purchased by the reporter, the rice seed was produced by Hunan Xiuhua Technology Co., Ltd. The reporter went to Xiuhua Company in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, and found Li Yonghong, the person in charge of declaring the variety at that time, but he said that the company could not have genetically modified seeds.

　　 With the assistance of Zhuzhou Seed Management Station, the reporter sampled the seeds of Liangyou Jianghui 902 on the spot. The test results showed that the sampled grains did not contain Bt63. That is to say, the seeds purchased by the reporter in the seed sales department in Jiangxia District of Wuhan and the seeds in the grain depot of Hunan Xiuhua Company are not the same rice seed.

　　 Then, who produced the genetically modified rice seeds purchased by reporters and how did they enter the market? The reporter once again came to Jiexing Seed Sales Department. The proprietress denied that she had ever sold rice seeds, so the reporter took out the receipt issued by the sales department when she bought rice seeds, but the proprietress always denied it. Under the stalemate, the reporter dialed the complaint phone number of Jiangxia Seed Station marked on the receipt, hoping that law enforcement officers could come to investigate and collect evidence, but the person who answered the phone said that the leaders had a meeting and the law enforcement officers had gone to the countryside and could not come.

　　 No sooner had the reporter put down the phone than the owner of this shop appeared. After a dispute, the boss tore up the receipt and drove the reporter away.

　　 Rice testing loopholes, factory inspection, genetically modified

　　 Among the three kinds of rice bought by the reporter that were found to contain transgenes, two kinds of rice were produced at Shekou Street in the urban-rural junction of huangpi district.

　　 According to Director Ni of a rice factory, the rice provided by the reporter should come from Jianghan Plain, such as Qianjiang, Jingmen and Jingzhou. The rice and rice in their processing plant come from all over the country. During the processing, the factory will make certain preparations according to the taste and color of the rice, and then pack it and leave the factory.

　　 In the test report presented by director Ni, the reporter saw that the rice in Wuhan market is currently implemented in GB1354-2009 standard. The standard only stipulates some physical indicators of rice. After the local regulatory authorities test rice according to this standard, qualified rice can enter the market for sale.

　　 It is understood that the rice factory standards formulated in China do not contain genetically modified detection items, so government regulatory authorities and enterprises will not test the rice factory, which leads to rice manufacturers not knowing even if some rice contains genetically modified ingredients. These rice, so quietly to the consumer’s table.

　　 For many export enterprises, they also face the same problem, because they unknowingly bought rice containing genetically modified ingredients, which caused them to suffer losses when exporting. A batch of white rice cakes exported by a food company in Shanghai to the European Union in 2013 were found to contain genetically modified ingredients.

　　 In order to reduce losses, some domestic enterprises will conduct their own testing of genetically modified ingredients according to EU standards. However, the general manager of a food company in Shanghai said that because there are many sources of rice in the market, despite the testing links, enterprises are hard to prevent. According to what they know, genetically modified rice has spread, and it is difficult to recover it, and it is out of control. Most of the rice in Hunan, Hubei, Anhui and Fujian have been "polluted" by genetic modification.

　　 It is understood that on May 27 this year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the Notice of the Ministry of Agriculture on Further Strengthening the Safety Supervision of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms, requiring agricultural departments at all levels to focus on rice, corn, soybean and rape seeds and severely investigate and deal with illegal production, processing and sales of genetically modified seeds according to law.

Today, with the rapid iteration of the domestic new energy vehicle market, many manufacturers at home and abroad are aiming at this huge cake, and taking advantage of this so-called "new energy" momentum, they have launched one model after another. From the product point of view, although there are many new energy vehicles on the market at present, the quality is actually mixed, and there are not many "good cars" that can really be taken. At the same time, many manufacturers also regard the L3 automatic assisted driving system, which is popular at present, as a configuration to check for missing parts.

This technology configuration is no longer exclusive to luxury cars, although 200,000-300,000-level household scooters are also equipped with this configuration; But to be honest, many friends who have bought cars don’t know what L3 is. Whether it is even practical is still unknown; Today, on the occasion of this test drive of Ai ‘an LX, we have a deep talk with you about the ADiG0 3.0 autopilot system carried by this car.

What is L3 autopilot? What’s the difference between ADiGO 3.0 system?

First of all, briefly talk about L3 autopilot, which is based on the standards formulated by the American Society of International Automotive Engineers. Among them, L3 level is the abbreviation of highly automatic driving when conditions permit, and the car can turn, accelerate and decelerate by itself and respond appropriately to the environment; At the same time, people can also take over and quit autonomous driving. To put it bluntly, L3 automatic assisted driving has been able to get rid of the hands and feet, and there is no need to interfere with the driving of the car in the open state. The ADiG0 3.0 autopilot system equipped by Guangzhou Automobile New Energy Ai ‘an LX, the most important thing is to improve the high-precision map and the more intelligent Mobileyeye EQ 4 camera, which can more accurately perceive the 360-degree environment of the vehicle.

Among them, the difference between this ADiGO 3.0 autopilot system and other assisted driving systems lies in this "high-precision map", which is considered to occupy a unique "geographical position". Compared with other maps in the past, its accuracy has reached 0.1 meter, and it can predict the road conditions 1 kilometer away, which greatly improves the perception of vehicles as a whole. However, the GPS signal is lost due to high-speed road conditions, under the bridge and the weather, and the latest generation MobileyQ4 chip carried by this Ai ‘an LX will not appear, greatly improving the driving experience of the car.

At the same time, ADiGO3.0 system uses the fifth generation millimeter wave radar from Bosch to cooperate with the brand-new high-precision map; Moreover, the system also has the self-learning ability, which can imitate and evolve according to the driver’s daily habits, and will give users a better driving mode as a whole. Moreover, Ai ‘an LX has a more powerful driver monitoring DMS system with vehicle owner fatigue monitoring sensors, which can monitor the driver’s driving state in real time, distracting for more than 3 seconds, that is, actively ensuring safety through warning lights and sound reminders, avoiding fatigue and distraction and improving driving safety; It is reported that this ADiGO 3.0 autopilot system can only be installed through the Aion LX 80 version at present, and the optional price is 39,800 yuan.

Is ADiGO 3.0 system complicated to operate?

As the functions of the automatic driving system are becoming more and more abundant, when you want to turn on or off a driving assistance system alone, you often have to turn it upside down in the menu, and these relatively low-level settings are generally areas that speech recognition can’t control. Take Ai ‘an LX as an example. Although the UI design concentrates the auxiliary systems together, it is necessary to turn on all the horizontal, vertical, blind areas and intelligent parking assistance systems in order to realize all the functions of ADiGO 3.0 system.

At the same time, when driving, the ADiGO 3.0 system is turned on, which is divided into two steps and three buttons in total. Only when the right button is used to turn on the adaptive cruise and set the good distance can the lane keeping function be activated through the left steering wheel pattern button, and the cancellation function can be directly pressed by the adaptive cruise button. On the whole, this combination also invisibly increases the learning cost of drivers.

How is the ADiGO 3.0 system measured?

Through the test drive in the past few days, we have a preliminary understanding of the overall use of ADiGO 3.0 auxiliary driving system carried by this Guangzhou Automobile New Energy Aian LX. However, due to the abnormal working state of the expressway auxiliary system of our Aian LX test drive, the high-precision map cannot be activated normally. Until the test drive is returned, the problem has not been solved, so we can only experience some functions of ADiGO 3.0, and the subjective feelings below are only evaluated based on the current car condition.

Although only part of the functions of the system are used, the sensitivity of the system is extremely high, and the automatic driving and car following functions can be easily realized by turning on the automatic driving system during normal driving.

However, the whole road section referred to in this autopilot system is not all roads. Due to the complex road conditions in China, the current high-precision map only covers 28 urban expressways and urban expressways. Therefore, for safety reasons, when the high-precision map is not activated, we use the adaptive cruise of Ai’ an LX and turn on the autopilot function. When the speed exceeds 80km/h, the car’s automatic lane change can be activated, and its automatic lane change can be completed only by the turn signal. However, Automatic lane change at this speed and above can’t be completely realized. Therefore, in order to get rid of the shackles of hands and feet, it is still necessary to use both hands and feet on high-speed and relatively simple urban expressways, while in urban roads.

Then we talk about lane identification. First of all, when I am driving on a normal paved road, Ian LX will stay in the middle of the lane, and there will be no left/right deviation, and it will stay firmly in the middle of the lane. Relative to the road, this function basically belongs to the state of stopping, and it will automatically tend to drive in the middle from time to time, so this function still requires the use of the road.

At the same time, after the front vehicle slows down or accelerates during driving, the braking system will still keep the whole vehicle at a relatively low speed, and it will not speed up until the front vehicle almost leaves the monitoring range. The overall response seems to reflect the slowdown, but in general, it ensures the safety of the overall driving environment. It is worth noting that most of our test drive encounters morning and evening peaks, so it is "blocked" on the loop to a great extent. In this case, automatic car-following is a more practical configuration for us. After simple testing, the car has four adjustable car-following distance gears, among which the setting distance is adjusted to the latest in congested sections, which is not easy to be jammed; However, the response of the system is usually slow, so it is not recommended to adjust to the nearest distance on extremely congested roads or highways. On the contrary, more space should be left for drivers to respond.

Finally, let’s talk about the automatic parking function that is more suitable for the needs of our car in the configuration of Ai ‘an LX. This function is extremely sensitive and has three functions: parallel parking, vertical parking and parallel parking. Relying on 17 radars (1 forward medium-range millimeter wave, 4 short-range lateral millimeter waves and 12 ultrasonic radars), four panoramic cameras realize more accurate parking and parking functions, but the extreme action of this automatic parking function is too large. At the same time, when looking for a parking space, we should be closer to the surrounding vehicles, so that it will be easier to find the parking position. Generally speaking, this function is also a good practical configuration for people like me who are usually lazy.

Conclusion:

This experience of Ai ‘an LX mainly lies in driving assistance. The overall feeling is quite good. L3 autopilot is natural and smooth, and it is not complicated to open. It is easier to open after proficiency and the process is very friendly. The fly in the ointment is that at present, high-precision maps only support high-speed and urban expressways, which can relieve fatigue to a great extent. However, at present, only a few companies in China have qualification measurement, so there is still room for improvement in high-precision maps. The only pity in this experience is that this Aion LX process is limited by the failure to activate the highway auxiliary system, and it is impossible to truly get rid of the foot on the highway; In urban road conditions, ADiGO 3.0 still has some functional details, such as prompt information and the ability to pass the ramp, which need to be improved in future OTA; At the same time, the test drive model is Ai ‘an LX 80. Although it has not been tested in depth in terms of battery life, after comprehensive use, NEDC’s comprehensive working condition battery life is 650km, which also enables users to travel further.

As of 10: 00 a.m. on 24th, the mainstream price of 24-degree palm oil in Zhangjiagang market port was referenced to P2501+180 yuan/ton or 9330 yuan/ton, which was down by 80 yuan/ton or 0.85% compared with the previous working day. The data of palm oil origin gave a boost to the market, but it continued to be insufficient. Today, the spot price adjusted back within a narrow range. Domestic supply and demand remain weak, the downstream is not willing to take over at a high price, and the market is sporadic. It is expected that the short-term palm oil price will run at a high level. (Zhuo Chuang Information)

Tencent rolled off another product today.

On July 5th, Penguin FM, an audio platform owned by Tencent, released an offline announcement, saying that Penguin FM regretted to say goodbye to everyone due to business adjustment. From now on, Penguin FM will close the user registration and recharge functions, and officially stop operating at 0: 00 on September 6, 2023.

It is reported that Tencent’s "Penguin FM" was originally named "Radish FM", focusing on zero-flow listening, recommending selected programs for users’ intelligence in multiple scenarios, and online listening to audio programs such as novels, music, jokes, news and entertainment gossip in a massive program library.

WeChat official account of Penguin FM shows that it has not been updated for nearly three years.

　　Guangzhou Eighth Generation is definitely not the most expensive and luxurious model at this Guangzhou Auto Show, but it is indeed the most concerned model, which can be said to be the biggest highlight of this auto show.

　　It is worth mentioning that the Guangben Eighth Accord was released only two months after the release of the North American Eighth Accord, so it is worth saying "Good!" The label of overseas synchronization is not a deceptive cover.

　　Media parties and people in the industry unanimously praised the Accord as "the strongest Accord in history", so where is this strongest? What are the differences between the North American version and the American version? When will it be listed? In what range will the price be set? This series of questions are what netizens are most concerned about. Don’t worry, let’s solve these mysteries one by one.

● First of all, briefly compare some differences in appearance between the overseas version and the domestic version of the Eighth Generation Accord.

　　From the side, the front combination headlights are slightly different. Generally speaking, the appearance of the domestic Accord remains highly consistent with that of the overseas version, but the configuration is increased in a small place. As for the interior, we haven’t got the interior map of Guangzhou Honda Eighth Accord, so we can’t judge whether it will be different from the overseas version for the time being.

● Why is it praised as "the strongest Accord in history"

　　3.5LV6 3-stage variable management (VCM)i- engine +VGR variable mechanical speed ratio power steering system+brand new chassis+active control engine support (ACM) and active noise control (ANC) = the strongest Accord in history. Guangzhou Honda’s eighth-generation Accord has a 2.4L four-cylinder engine and a 3.5LV6 engine to choose from. The 2.4L Accord is equipped with K24A8 engine, which is up to 132KW, 2.4L higher than the current Accord.

　　But when it comes to power, it should be 3.5V6 version. This car has brought advanced technology, such as variable. Guangzhou Honda’s eighth-generation Accord 3.5L engine is an i-VTEC engine with a three-stage variable cylinder management (VCM) in V6. When in use, the three, four and six cylinders can be switched freely, which can control the fuel consumption very well and is even better than the seventh generation.
　
　　The engine will put all six cylinders into operation when the vehicle starts, accelerates or climbs a hill. Under the conditions of medium speed cruise and low engine load, the system will only operate one cylinder bank, that is, three cylinders. During moderate acceleration, high-speed cruise and gentle slope driving, the engine will run with four cylinders.

　　With the help of three working modes, the VCM system can carefully determine the working displacement of the engine to keep it consistent with the driving requirements at any time. Because the system will automatically close the intake valve and exhaust valve of the non-working cylinder, it can avoid the loss of suction and exhaust related to intake and exhaust, and further improve the fuel economy. VCM system achieves the highest performance and the highest fuel economy-these two characteristics usually cannot coexist in conventional engines.

　　Other technologies that use talents, such as VGR (Variable Speed Ratio Steering), are more accurate in driving and more flexible and light in low speed. Moreover, it adopts a brand-new chassis, which surpasses its predecessors-the seventh generation in power, steering, handling and riding comfort, so that the high-speed stability and grip of the car can be better reflected, including the reduction of noise during driving-the eighth generation Accord can be said to be the strongest Accord in history.

● Guangzhou Honda Eight-Generation Accord is close to Class C and is it a B++ class model? Will it become the benchmark for domestic car grades?

　　In terms of size, the classification of the eighth-generation Accord has changed from "medium-sized" by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to "large-sized", and its size and space have surpassed all competitors at the same level. This size can meet the customer’s requirements for four adult passengers in the front and rear seats to enjoy the same seat comfort.

　　Although the manufacturer has not announced the specific technical details, Fu Shoujie, executive deputy general manager of Guangzhou Honda, said that in the China market, the eighth generation Accord has completely surpassed the existing concept of B-class car, approaching or even reaching the level of C-class car, and it is a veritable "B++ class" car, thus setting a brand-new coordinate for the middle and high-class car market in China.

　　Fu Shoujie, executive deputy general manager of Guangzhou Honda, said that in the past, Accord was the benchmark of price, and now it is more appropriate to measure it with the benchmark of grade.

● Can Guangben’s eighth-generation Accord King regain the mid-to high-end sales champion?

　　This reminds me of the story of Simba, the lion king, but I wonder if the new Accord can successfully perform the drama of the return of the king and regain the throne from his hands. After Camry went public, it once created a monthly sales record of 16,000 cars. This may be an insurmountable obstacle for the opponent. But it seems that the Eight-Generation Accord has the confidence to say something beyond it. Fu Shoujie, deputy general manager of Guangzhou Honda, said that next year, Guangben New Accord will return to the throne of middle and high-end car sales champion. I hope that the eighth generation Accord will sell 200,000 vehicles next year.

　　Say these words, I believe that I am not cheering myself up out of thin air. At present, the production capacity of Guangben has reached 360,000, with two factories, four models and 18 varieties. There are nearly 320 terminal sales. This laid the foundation for the Accord’s successful flop.

● When will Guangzhou Honda’s new Accord go on the market? The forecast is the first half of January next year.

　　The official said that it is not the time to announce the listing date and price, but one thing is certain. Although the official refused to disclose it, I believe that the new Accord is ready to go, and the large-scale promotion of the old Accord has lasted for a long time. From the market situation, some models have been out of stock. Therefore, it can be speculated that the old Accord has stopped production or reduced production, and the new Accord has stepped up production online.

　　In connection with the above, Guangzhou Honda hopes that the new Accord can regain its position as the king of middle and high-end sales, and hopes to sell 200,000 vehicles next year. According to official data of Guangfeng, Camry has sold 180,000 vehicles so far. In other words, it is best to be listed in early January if the Accord wants to win the championship successfully next year, otherwise the pressure will increase with time. Of course, some media said that the new Accord will be listed at the end of this year, but in comparison, it will be more beneficial to go public in January next year.

● What will be the listing price of the new Accord? It is possible to start at 240,000 yuan.

　　The biggest rival of the new Accord is Camry, and the price range of its 2.4L model is 2298-269800 yuan. However, according to the management of Guangzhou Honda, the new Accord will definitely not fight the price war. If we fight it, it will be a value war. If we fight the price war, the market will undoubtedly bring harm to both automobile manufacturers and automobile consumption. When asked by the media whether there would be a fare increase, the management of Guangben did not directly answer. In the dialogue, Fu Shoujie, executive deputy general manager of Guangzhou Honda, also said that the Accord used to be the benchmark of price, and now it is more appropriate to measure it with the benchmark of grade.

　　These signals tell us that the listing price of Accord will never be cheaper than that of Camry. Of course, there must be different reasons for technology and configuration. When the eighth generation Honda Accord was listed in North America, there were two kinds of displacement models, 2.4 and 3.5 respectively. The price of the 2.4 displacement model was between 158.9 and 210.8 thousand yuan. According to the price difference (80 thousand yuan) between North America and China, a media predicted that the price of the 8 th generation domestic Accord with 2.4 displacement model might be between 240 and 290 thousand yuan. This estimate is roughly in line with the above discussion. However, Guangzhou Honda’s production capacity is strong, and it is believed that it will not be troubled by production capacity, resulting in high pricing due to insufficient supply. And the price can not be set too much higher than Camry, so it is most likely that the starting price of the domestic listing of the Eighth Generation New Accord will be around 240,000 yuan. Because of the large displacement and the more advanced technology applied to the 3.5L model, it is difficult to estimate the price for the time being.

　　Sina Auto News On the evening of November 5, 2017, the 2018 SAIC-GM Cadillac XTS was officially listed in Beijing. The new car is a mid-term modified model, adopting the latest family-style design style, upgrading the configuration and adopting the latest CUE system.The new car has launched three models with 2.0T engines, and the price range is 299.9-359.9 million yuan.

　　1. Brand-new family-style diamond cutting design, adopting star waterfall LED headlights and "L type"Flying wing LED taillights;

　　2. The interior materials have been adjusted, and the latest 10-inch touch screen CUE system has been adopted;

　　3、Newly added streaming media rearview mirror, equipped with BOSE audio with active noise reduction technology as standard..

　　In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the latest family-style diamond cutting design language similar to CT6, the size of the middle net is increased, and the number of horizontal chrome-plated strips is increased to three, which broadens the visual effect of the front of the car and looks more domineering. In addition, the new car adopts the latest family-style star waterfall LED headlights, but the headlight shape is slightly bloated compared with CT6 and XTS, and the distance between the lower edge and the fog lamp is further. The size of the new car is 5103*1852*1502mm and the wheelbase is 2837 mm. Except that the length is 28mm shorter, the other dimensions have not changed, and the change of front face shape is the main reason.

　　There is no change in the side of the new car, but the change in the tail is obvious. The first thing that bears the brunt is that the license plate frame is moved to the bumper, and the tail is more concise. This is also a major concept of the ESCALA concept car and the future design direction of Cadillac models. In addition, the new flying wing LED taillight is no longer a straight waterfall shape, but an "L" shape, which is more elegant and does not abandon the tradition of Cadillac. The tail wing of the new car still takes into account the function of the brake light, but the design not only adds black elements, but also has a more layered feeling, and is larger in size and more unified with the design of the car body. The black part at the bottom and the rectangular double-outlet exhaust pipe are more stretched and look more dynamic.

　　In terms of interior, the new car has only been adjusted in details, the most eye-catching of which is the upgraded 10-inch central control screen and the latest CUE system. In addition, the wood decorative board of the new car was changed to matte material, which showed more grades, and the panel of the block handle area was also adjusted.

　　In terms of configuration, the new car not only adopts the latest CUE system, but also adds a streaming rearview mirror, with BOSE audio and active noise reduction technology as standard.

　　In terms of power, the new car will continue to use the current 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 269 HP and a peak torque of 400 Nm. The new car does not use GM’s latest 9-speed automatic gearbox in terms of gearbox, but still uses the current 6-speed automatic gearbox.

　　Hui ‘ang’s rear seat is the biggest highlight, which is equipped with Nappa customized calf leather, electric adjustment, 4-way electric lumbar support, seat massage, X-WOKS aviation first-class headrest, desk board, car refrigerator and other configurations, greatly improving the comfort and luxury of the rear row. In addition, Huiang is equipped with 2.0-liter turbocharged and 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engines, both of which match the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The 480 V6 model also comes standard with a four-wheel drive system. However, as a non-luxury brand model, the price is not low.

　　Volvo Asia Pacific S90

　　As a luxury brand in northern Europe, Volvo S90 long wheelbase version is a unique model, which is like a clean stream in the era of pursuing youth and dynamics, and represents the elegance and luxury of northern Europe. In addition to its unique temperament, S90 has a wheelbase of 3061mm, which does not lose any other mainstream luxury medium and large cars. The safety that Volvo has always been proud of is also reflected in the S90. The whole system comes standard with the CitySafety urban safety system, ACC adaptive cruise system and lane keeping function.

　　The main change of the 2018 Cadillac XTS is the upgrade of design and configuration. The latest family-style design makes XTS look more fashionable and avant-garde, and the addition of 10-inch central control panel and streaming rearview mirror makes the new car feel more scientific and technological. The sense of science and technology, comfort and cost performance of new cars are still their biggest selling points, especially those with air suspension and electromagnetic suspension in the same price range.
