Hard-core New Choice Try SAIC MAXUS D90 Pro Diesel Edition

  [car home Original Test Drive] On April 10th, SAIC MAXUS D90 Pro (abbreviated as D90 Pro in the text) was officially launched, and there were seven new models with the price range of 179,800-279,800 yuan. In fact, this car was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year and accepted the reservation. After more than four months, it finally came. We also conducted a field test drive for this car at the first time. Compared with our AH-100 professional test site, the off-road test site is not difficult. Surely such a simple "test" can’t help this "tough guy" who is good at off-road?

  The test drive of the SAIC MAXUS D90 Pro is equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine and matched with the 8AT automatic manual transmission. As a modified model of SAIC MAXUS D90, this car has also been given a brand-new naming method. The appearance of the word Pro makes us look forward to the improvement of its strength.

  Although it is said that there are seven models on the market, in fact, there is no fixed configuration version of the D90 Pro. The "recommended models" and prices are only for reference. Users can determine the configuration they want through the wise selection of SAIC MAXUS Spider, and specifically customize their favorite models.

● The appearance is masculine.

  The body size of the D90 Pro is relatively large, which also determines that it is "born" with a strong gas field. The hexagonal mesh shape looks a bit exaggerated, but at present, "big mouth" is also a popular design style. For most users who choose the D90 Pro, they definitely bought a car to go out in the wild, so it is more important to choose a set of off-road kits. The off-road kits provided by SAIC MAXUS for the D90 Pro include original 18-inch off-road tires, wading throats, bottom off-road fenders, off-road wheel eyebrows and sand barriers, etc. The D90 Pro equipped with these kits is like an athlete in a competition suit, and its heroic spirit is compelling. It’s a little pity that we didn’t assemble all the off-road kits for this test drive.

  Compared with the competitors of the same level, the body size of the D90 Pro does not fall in the wind, and the wheelbase length is obviously superior to that of the competitors of the same level. As a car with off-road capability as its selling point, the passability is a very important indicator. The minimum ground clearance of D90 Pro is 210mm, and the maximum wading depth is 800 mm. The low point of the chassis uses a waterproof one-way valve, and the approach angle is 28, and the departure angle is 25, so it will not easily rub when facing complex road conditions.

● Interior materials are graded.

  The design style of the interior is quite fashionable. When you only look at the interior, it is hard to imagine that this is a medium-sized off-road vehicle. The silver decorative strips in the details, the large-area suede material coverage and the 12.3-inch central control screen all show you: "Although I am big, I can be exquisite."

  The 12.3-inch central control screen is not so big in the current trend of big screen popularity. It feels just right on this car, and the clarity of the screen and the fluency of the system response are good. SAIC Ali Zebra Zhixing system can be said to be an "old friend" of everyone. Now this system has been upgraded to version 3.0, with more and more functions, including voice control, music, navigation, remote control of vehicles and other functions. The original car is also equipped with a high-tech navigation map.

  The seat configuration of this test drive model is quite high. With the help of Spider Smart Choice, the rich seat functions are no longer exclusive to the top model. Users can customize their favorite configurations according to actual needs, and the diversified seat layout forms also give consumers more choices.

● Summary

  In fact, there is not much to describe about the static part. The exterior design and interior design are two separate things, and it is most important for users who really want to buy a car to look pleasing to the eye. The spider intelligent selection function launched by SAIC MAXUS has raised the user’s independent choice to a new height. This intelligent customization service provides nearly 100 choices including powertrain, seat form, appearance kit, interior material and configuration equipment, and can directly place orders with the factory, and can also track the manufacturing status of the vehicles it has ordered in real time. With this feature, you will avoid a lot of time entangled in the configuration table.

● Power system

  The 2.0T diesel engine mounted on the D90 Pro is named SAIC π (meeting the national VI b emission standard). This engine adopts two-stage supercharger, which can exert the maximum value of turbocharging under different load intensities, and has obvious effect on improving the low-speed torque of the engine. In addition, the friction work of the piston at medium and low speed is reduced by staggering the crankshaft centerline and the cylinder bore centerline, which is beneficial to improving fuel economy and reducing noise.

  The so-called all-terrain intelligent timely four-wheel drive system is actually several torque output forms calibrated by manufacturers according to different road conditions and the conclusion of road test. If you are a "super hard core" cross-country player, you can also choose to install the part-time 4wd system. In terms of gearbox setting, this gearbox will not shift up automatically in manual mode, so as to ensure stronger torque output in low-speed gear and cope with more complicated off-road conditions.

  The D90 Pro has smooth power and sensitive throttle adjustment. Although the size of the whole vehicle is not small, it doesn’t feel heavy when driving, and there will be no hesitation even when completing cross-country projects. During the test drive, for safety reasons, parking on the slope is not allowed at the site, so there is no difficulty in completing the climbing project (about 40 slope).

  The overall texture of the chassis is relatively compact, the support effect of the suspension is good, it is somewhat tenacious, and the handling of bumps on the road surface is relatively simple. When walking on the continuous undulating road surface, the rear suspension has no obvious redundant ricochet, and there will be no feeling like sailing. The steering system in the form of electronic power is exchanged for a lighter steering feel, and driving in daily urban traffic environment will not feel tired.

  During the cross-axle project, according to the coach’s arrangement, the rear differential lock was locked. Faced with such a challenge, I passed easily. In the subsequent experience, I didn’t lock the rear differential lock, but the vehicle could pass smoothly.

  The suspension stroke of the D90 Pro is relatively long, and the ground clearance is enough, so it is more calm when facing the shell pit, and the phenomenon of bottoming will not easily occur. The wheel-to-wheel slip restriction effect is excellent, the response is rapid, and it is easier to pass.

  Two "opponents" were also found at the scene, and I experienced Haval H9. The overall feeling of Haval H9 is more "tight". From the chassis texture to the steering feel to the feeling of the accelerator pedal, H9 is more "hard", but the low-torque dynamic performance is better than D90 Pro. Like an athlete on the basketball court, H9 is like a center, heavy and slow, but as long as the action is in place, it must be an effective action; The D90 Pro is more like a power forward, with more agile performance and richer actions and means of "scoring". The setting of each project in the off-road test drive venue is relatively simple, and both cars can pass easily, so it is impossible to tell the absolute advantages and disadvantages in this competition.

● Summary

  SAIC MAXUS D90 Pro is a car with high attention, which can be seen from the fiery degree of car home Forum. Through the spider intelligent selection function, users can have a high degree of "autonomy", which is undoubtedly a good thing. A short field test drive can’t have a deep driving experience for this car, but as far as the test items in the field are concerned, no one can stand the D90 Pro hard, which can also prove that the off-road ability of the D90 Pro is really good. Next week, we will welcome the D90 Pro test car. At that time, we will pull it to a professional off-road field in car home for the AH-100 off-road test, and then we will see how its "real strength" is. (Text/map/photo by car home Fu Bo)

Gree air-conditioning encounters dealers donating money to run away. Will Gree take responsibility?

Original title: Gree air-conditioning encounters dealers donating money to run away. Will Gree take responsibility?

Not long ago, it just broke the news that Vantage dealers lost contact. Now, Kunmeng Decoration, a distributor of Gree air conditioners in Hangzhou, has run away again. The boss is a "post-90 s" boy. Since the Dragon Boat Festival Holiday Notice was issued on June 16, he has never opened the door again.

Gree air-conditioning encounters dealers donating money to run away. Will Gree take responsibility?

According to the complaint register of Hangzhou Agile International Garden, a community that suffered major losses, 77 owners were cheated, most of them paid 10,000-20,000 yuan, and the largest single loss in the register was 820,000 yuan, including renovation and installation costs. Most of them are Gree air conditioners, but there are also a few Daikin air conditioners and Haier air conditioners. According to qianjiang evening news reporter’s preliminary statistics, the total loss amount is nearly 2.5 million yuan. Of course, this is not a complete statistic.

What does the decoration of Kunming League have to do with Gree?

In the shop decorated by Kun Meng, there are two brands of Gree authorized retailers:

1. "Hangzhou Tiancheng Air Conditioning Engineering Co., Ltd." specially authorizes "Hangzhou Kunmeng Electric Appliance Co., Ltd." as the designated retailer of Gree Central Air Conditioning in Hangzhou.

2. "Gree central air-conditioning factory authorized direct-sale store", valid from October 2017 to July 2018.

Hangzhou Tiancheng Air Conditioning Engineering Co., Ltd. is a supplier and after-sales service provider of Gree central air conditioning in Hangzhou. Gree customer service also indicated that Hangzhou Kunmeng Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. is indeed a distributor of Gree air conditioning, and it was authorized by Hangzhou Tiancheng to pick up the goods in Tiancheng.

Does Gree need to take responsibility?

As the authorized party of Kunmeng Decoration, Tiancheng Air Conditioning said that it has given a solution for the owner: providing equipment and construction personnel with compensation to solve the engineering problems left by Kunmeng first, but it needs to be charged, and the detailed agreement price is listed in the plan. In the scheme, with a period of one year, Tiancheng cooperated with the owner to recover the cheated amount. If it is recovered, the owners will make up for it according to the listed agreement price. If it is not recovered, it will be made up at 15% off the agreed price.

For Tiancheng’s solution, most owners don’t recognize it: "Why should we spend money again? Don’t Tiancheng and Gree have any responsibility? "

At present, Gree headquarters has not expressed its position on this matter.

From this point of view, whether Gree or Tiancheng Air Conditioning has awarded the dealer qualification after inspecting the dealer qualification of Kunmeng Decoration, then the air conditioning enterprise and the dealer should share the responsibility.Gree, as a well-known air-conditioning brand in China, should be responsible for its distributors and consumers to some extent..

Dealers running away will obviously harm the interests of all parties, first of all, ordinary central air-conditioning buyers, and secondly, all the employees in the store, which will certainly do great harm to the brand in this area.

But in any case, this tragedy that has brought harm to many people should be avoided by all parties, especially manufacturers, and once it happens, manufacturers should be duty-bound to bear some responsibilities. In the face of the victims who are already in dire straits, it is the brand’s heavy sense of responsibility and shining brand image that may be pulled up.

From the North Pole to the Universe, The Adventure of the Haier Brothers Universe has been launched.


1905 movie network news Twenty-three years ago, the animated film Haier Brothers came out, which became the first popular science animated feature film in China, and made a great contribution in the history of original animation in China. Twenty-three years later, the new animated film "The Adventure of Haier Brothers" moved the story background to the space and continued to lead a new generation of children and audiences to explore unknown mysteries. The play premiered on Tencent Video, Iqiyi and other platforms on September 17th, and was updated at 16:00 every day from Monday to Friday.


Stimulate imagination and explore spirit


The Haier brothers once crossed the North Pacific Ocean, went deep into the Arctic, got to know Eskimos, witnessed the wonderful phenomena of nature such as extreme daylight and mirage with their own eyes, and completed a global adventure with friends. This cartoon has far-reaching educational significance, is entertaining and won the audience’s love. It won the Golden Boy Award and the Golden Eagle Award successively, and became an excellent original children’s cartoon in China in the 1990s.


In this new animation, the Haier brothers remain unchanged, and as always, they stick to the main line of transmitting knowledge and inspiring imagination, and take accompanying children to grow up healthily as their mission. Haier Brothers Cosmic Adventure focuses on knowledge and exploration, not telling children the standard answer or "what", but encouraging children to actively seek knowledge and explore "why". In the Haier Brothers’ world, every child is "unique", and the purpose is to respect children’s interests, stimulate their imagination and exploration spirit, and let them develop their personality and wisdom.


This time, the Haier brothers are going to explore the vast universe, get in touch with powerful intelligent creatures and alien civilizations, and lead children to see more cutting-edge technology, which will greatly broaden their horizons. At the end of each cartoon, there is a small knowledge class, such as "How big is the universe" and "What is a nano-robot", which transforms the storyline mentioned in the feature film into small knowledge of popular science. This knowledge transfer based on the plot is more enlightening than blunt indoctrination, which can be described as the integration of wisdom and interest, which will greatly broaden children’s knowledge and acceptance.


Realize self-transcendence


Haier brothers subverted the traditional creative mode.Before the production of "Haier Brothers Cosmic Adventure", it was convenient to interact with small audiences on the material, character design and content of the animation, and went to primary schools and kindergartens in many cities to have face-to-face communication with children, and guided the design and production of cartoons according to the voting results. This kind of interactive creation subverts the closed production mode of traditional cartoons, connects producers and users, draws inspiration and suggestions from the target audience, and creates fine products that the audience loves and recognizes.

Can Country Garden, which wants to be "the world’s number one", be overwhelmed? With 1.4 trillion debts, creditors applied for liquidation due to 1.6 billion overdue debts.

Author Li Dunmin; Editor Ma Jia
Country Garden, known as the "cosmic housing enterprise", is now pushed to the cusp of "bankruptcy" due to debt problems.
In the wake of the liquidation application filed by creditorssixTianhou,threemoonfourOn the evening of Sunday, Country Garden officially released it.threeThe monthly management meeting, in addition to talking about Country Garden’s efforts to ensure delivery and stable operation, said that the company’s founders and shareholders never wanted to lie flat.
This sudden application for liquidation is even worse for Country Garden, which is already short of funds. On February 28th, Country Garden announced that the company had received a liquidation petition from Ever Credit Limited (the applicant), involving an unpaid term loan with a principal of about HK$ 1.6 billion and accrued interest.
Ever Credit Limited is a subsidiary of Hong Kong Jiantao Group, a leading copper panel manufacturer. The company pointed out that the presentation of the petition does not mean that the petitioner can successfully liquidate the company, and the High Court has set the first hearing date of the petition as May 17, 2024.
Although being filed for liquidation by creditors does not mean liquidation or bankruptcy, forcing creditors to file an application also means that the liquidity problem of Country Garden is imminent. In the past three years, 35 large and small housing enterprises such as Evergrande, Longguang and Sunac have defaulted on domestic and foreign bonds, especially the Evergrande incident, which has had a huge impact on the whole real estate market.
Country Garden, which has always been known for its "financial stability", has not been spared. Country Garden’s latest announcement made the bleak situation public. According to Country Garden’s disclosure, the unaudited operation data showed that the contracted sales amount in February 2024 was about 3.72 billion yuan, and the contracted sales floor area attributable to the company’s shareholders’ equity was about 370,000 square meters.
You know, even in 2022, the average monthly equity sales of Country Garden will be 30 billion yuan. According to previous data, in 2023, Country Garden realized an equity sales amount of 174.28 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 51.25%.
It is worth mentioning that Yang Huiyan, who is also the second-generation successor like Fuli Zong, faced "the biggest difficulty since the company was founded" after taking over from his father Yang Guoqiang as the chairman of the Board of Directors of Country Garden Group in March 2023.
Lossy performance, pressure from creditors, liquidity crisis of the company … Will this liquidation petition of Jiantao Group become the last straw to overwhelm Country Garden’s trillion-dollar debt crisis? Can Country Garden, which starts the crazy "sale" rhythm, walk out of a different road from Evergrande? Can Country Garden, which suffered the biggest crisis since its establishment, land smoothly after debt restructuring?
01. "liquidation" or a fuse?
This is not the first time that Country Garden has been "debt-collected" by Jiantao Group.
As a creditor and shareholder of Country Garden, Jiantao Group is now one of the largest producers of copper-clad panels in the world, and its business scope has developed from copper-clad panels to printed circuit boards, chemical products and domestic real estate. The actual controller is Leslie Cheung, who is known as the "chemical king" in Hong Kong.
The trigger for the "trouble" of Jiantao Group to Country Garden came from August 8, 2023, when a Country Garden failed to pay the coupon of two US dollar debts totaling US$ 22.5 million, which exposed the liquidity risk of Country Garden.
As a creditor of Country Garden, Jiantao Group smelled the crisis. It turned out that at the end of 2021, Country Garden borrowed 1.88 billion Hong Kong dollars from Jiantao, and after repaying the first loan of about 300 million Hong Kong dollars, Country Garden, whose finances were gradually tense, could not continue to pay back the money.
In order to appease Jiantao Group, in August 2023, Country Garden issued about 351 million new shares to Jiantao, which offset some of the arrears. Jiantao became a shareholder holding about 1.25% of Country Garden shares at a lower cost. As a result, the loan owed by Country Garden to Jiantao Group has also dropped from HK$ 1.88 billion to about HK$ 1.598 billion. However, according to the financing agreement, the remaining loan will be repaid in December 2023. However, the good times didn’t last long, and the liquidity crisis was like a domino. Two months after publicly admitting financial difficulties, Country Garden still had to choose the "road to survival" and start debt restructuring at home and abroad. On October 10th, Country Garden announced that it would seek an overall solution for overseas debt.
With the debt restructuring of Country Garden at home and abroad, the loan of Jiantao Group is also in the restructuring. After learning that Country Garden started debt restructuring, Jiantao Group issued a statutory debt repayment letter in October 2023, demanding that Country Garden pay its debts. Now it seems that after months of negotiation, the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement on debt repayment. So Jiantao Group directly appealed to the court without stopping, and adopted a more radical way of "asking for money".
In response, Country Garden expressed its strong opposition to the liquidation petition, saying that "the radical action of a single creditor will not have a significant impact".
Bai Wenxi, chief economist of IPG China, believes that this application for liquidation is an important signal for Country Garden, indicating that the financial pressure faced by the company is increasing, and at least one important creditor is worried about its financial situation.
Although "tough", Country Garden still can’t escape the current financial difficulties.By the end of 2022, Country Garden’s total liabilities totaled 1.43 trillion yuan, including contractual liabilities of 668.2 billion yuan, accounting for 46.57%, nearly half of the total liabilities.
Among them, as of June 30, 2023, the scale of interest-bearing liabilities only decreased from 271.3 billion to 257.9 billion yuan, a decrease of less than 5 percentage points. In addition,Within one year, the debt to be repaid reached 121.632 billion yuan, while Country Garden had only 101.115 billion yuan in cash and equivalents.
Undoubtedly, the debt collection of Jiantao Group may trigger a series of chain reactions, which is likely to become a catalyst for Country Garden’s debt crisis.
02, the king of the third and fourth lines, into Xiao He, also played havoc?
picture
Yang Guoqiang, the founder, once boasted that Haikou wanted to be "the first in the world", from a dark horse who started in the third and fourth lines to a global industry sales champion.
With Yang Guoqiang’s strong skills and unique "management philosophy", Country Garden has also developed from a local housing enterprise in a corner to the whole country. Country Garden once stood on the wind and benefited from the upsurge of "shantytown renovation" after 2015, so that Country Garden entered the third-and fourth-tier cities in China in a big way. In just a few years, Country Garden’s real estate map has extended from the first and second tier to the third, fourth and fifth tier cities, and has rapidly grown into a leading real estate enterprise, even known as the "cosmic real estate enterprise". In 2020, the company’s sales exceeded 570.7 billion yuan for the first time, setting a record high.
By the end of 2022, Country Garden had about 955.5 billion yuan in marketable equity resources and about 252.8 billion yuan in marketable potential equity, totaling about 1.2 trillion yuan.It is reported that the company’s nearly one trillion soil reserves,About 40% are for the first-and second-tier markets, and nearly 60% are for the third-and fourth-tier markets.
However, it was too late when Country Garden reflected on the problem of "excessive investment in third-and fourth-tier cities and lower-tier cities". Since 2022, Country Garden’s equity sales amount in that month turned negative year-on-year. From January to July 2023, Country Garden’s accumulated contracted sales amount was 140.8 billion yuan, down 35% year-on-year, especially in July, when the monthly sales scale was 12.1 billion yuan, down 60% year-on-year.
The sudden stall in sales directly led to a net loss of 51.4 billion yuan in Country Garden in the first half of 2023. In explaining the reasons for the loss, Country Garden not only mentioned the impact of the downward sales of the real estate industry and the exchange loss caused by foreign exchange fluctuations, but also said that it failed to grasp the "potential risks such as excessive investment ratio" in small cities.
picture(Source: Eastern Fortune Choice Data)
Re-betting on third-and fourth-tier cities also stems from Yang Guoqiang’s strength and paranoia."Frankly speaking, I’m an unconventional person, like a madman." The self-evaluation of Yang Guoqiang, the founder of Country Garden, appeared in the book My 1000 Days in Country Garden: Yang Guoqiang and His Real Estate Kingdom from the Financial Perspective by Wu Jianbin, the former executive director and chief financial officer of Country Garden Group.
At present, the debt disagreement of Country Garden has also been hotly discussed.Wu Jianbin had hoped that Country Garden would strengthen its budget management, and that "the scale and net profit should increase synchronously". However, Yang Guoqiang felt that his business model had been questioned and did not agree with his research results. Yang is more concerned about the sales growth.
In July 2015, in the meeting on value management, Wu Jianbin once again emphasized the management of debt ratio ceiling, suggesting not to easily expand. However, Yang Guoqiang was angry. "Today, seeing the P/E ratio of the New Third Board and small and medium-sized enterprises is so high, it is false. You can’t learn … I think it’s better to make the real estate business bigger … I am the chairman, just do as I say. "
However, the rapid change of forms is often unpredictable. The so-called man can conquer nature, and in many cases it is only a footnote under the torrent of the times. Country Garden said that since 2021, the industry has entered an unprecedented difficult period, and multiple unfavorable factors are superimposed, resulting in severe difficulties and challenges in industry sales and open market financing.
03, "all-round" self-help
Nowadays, self-help and survival have become the biggest sword around Country Garden.
From self-help measures such as salary reduction and layoffs to the mode of "selling and selling", Country Garden, as an industry survivor, has reached the most critical moment.Especially after the rumors that the founder left the country and transferred assets through charitable funds.Yang’s father and daughter showed the sincerity of actively paying off debts, and dealt with the debt and property delivery problems by increasing shareholders’ holdings, transferring project equity and selling private jet assets.
After the opening of the year in 2024, Country Garden accelerated its "selling and selling" and sold five projects in Guangzhou in one breath, including Phoenix Hotel in Zengcheng District, Grade A office building in Country Garden Center in Zengcheng District, Yongwang Commercial Property in Country Garden Phoenix in Zengcheng District, Canglongfu Office Building in Country Garden in Panyu District, and Renhe Apartment Building in Baiyun District. The total price to be sold is 3.818 billion yuan.
In fact, since the thunder broke out in August 2023, Country Garden has been in full swing to exchange its high-quality assets for chips. Not only will the 26.67% equity of Guangzhou Asian Games Town Project be sold to China Shipping, with a total price of about 1.29 billion yuan. Then it signed an agreement with Wanda Commercial Management and Zhuhai Wanying to transfer its stake in Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management at a price of 3.069 billion yuan.
In addition to opening the sale mode, in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, salary reduction and layoffs are the only magic weapon for large enterprises. From the organizational structure, 14 regions are merged into 7, and the number of regions is always reduced from 206 at the peak to 21; The number of employees has been reduced from 69,932 to 58,140, with a reduction of more than 11,000; In addition, the monthly salary of executives with hundreds of millions of salaries will be reduced to 10,000 yuan.
However, Country Garden’s self-help behavior of "saving money" is a drop in the bucket in the face of the total debt of 1.4 trillion yuan.
Besides saving money, the most effective way to find money is to realize what Yang Huiyan called "guaranteed delivery", but it is not easy. According to the latest data released by the Central Finger Research Institute, in 2023, the total sales of "Top 100" real estate enterprises was 6,279.1 billion yuan, down nearly 20% year-on-year. Among them, the sales of Country Garden, which ended its "six consecutive championships", dropped directly from 464.30 billion yuan in 2022 to 219.98 billion yuan.
Not only that, the company’s contract sales showed a cliff-like decline. According to the announcement, the contracted sales amount of Country Garden in December 2023 was still 6.91 billion yuan, but by February 2024, the contracted sales amount of the company was only 3.72 billion yuan, which was far from the average monthly sales of nearly 30 billion yuan in the peak period.
In 2023, Country Garden delivered 600,000 suites, and the goal in 2024 is to exceed 480,000 suites. In Yang Huiyan’s words, "it is still the delivery task of a large number of days".
It can be said that as Evergrande, which has learned from the past, Country Garden can’t lie flat. "Resolutely not lying flat" is also the attitude that Country Garden conveys to the outside world, but waiting for the darkness before dawn is always long, and Country Garden can only suffer now.

According to the survey, the average monthly living expenses of college students are 1212 yuan, which is more than 30% and not enough.

  BEIJING, Beijing, Feb. 15 (Reporter Kan Feng) It is another school season, and the "school-starting economy" of college students in China is once again hot. In recent years, online consumption, campus express delivery, campus loan and other college students’ consumption phenomena and behaviors have been continuously concerned by the society. So, what is the average consumption level and financial management means of college students? Recently, MyCOS Research Institute released a survey report on the consumption behavior of college students in China.

  How much can college students spend every month?

  — — The average monthly consumption is 1212 yuan, boys love socializing and girls love food.

  The survey, named "College Students’ Views on Consumption and Financial Management", was completed by means of online survey. The survey target was only college students, and a total of 1,289 valid answers were collected from college students in 2016.

  The survey shows that the average monthly expenditure of college students is 1212 yuan (excluding tuition and round-trip transportation between home and school). Family is the main source of students’ living expenses. 94% of students’ living expenses are provided by their parents or relatives, followed by part-time jobs.

  Where do college students spend their living expenses? According to this survey, the main consumption chosen by the surveyed boys is social and entertainment, other foods besides basic meals and image consumption, and the main consumption chosen by the surveyed boys is other foods besides basic meals, image consumption and social and entertainment consumption.

  The proportion of boys spending money on communication/Internet surfing fees (31%) and digital electronic products (16%) is 7 and 11 percentage points higher than that of girls, while the proportion of boys spending money on image consumption (38%) is 24 percentage points lower than that of girls.

  What do college students mainly look at when shopping?

  — — Shopping mainly depends on price and quality.

  It is found that the most important factor for students to consider in shopping is "price", and the second and third places are "quality" and "personal preference".

  According to the analysis of the report, as a college student class who has not formally entered the society, the source of living expenses is limited, and students pay more attention to price and quality than the brand, grade and advertising of goods when shopping, which shows that most students can spend rationally.

  With the living expenses in hand, will college students give up their money to "Qian Shengqian"? According to the survey, 57% students have managed their finances in different forms. Among the college students surveyed, 42% chose products such as Yu ‘ebao, Zhaocaibao and Licaitong, 24% chose traditional bank time deposits, and only 3% and 2% bought stocks and invested in P2P online loans. Most students choose a low-risk, robust financial management method.

  Is the living expenses of college students enough?

  — — Over 30% of the respondents sigh beyond their means.

  The survey results show that among the students surveyed, 41% of college students’ living expenses can meet their daily needs and have a balance. More than 30% of college students have made ends meet. According to the survey, 24% of the students’ living expenses are insufficient occasionally, and 8% are often insufficient.

  According to the analysis of the report, students’ living expenses are not enough. On the one hand, it may be due to factors such as the economic situation of individual families, and on the other hand, it may be due to students’ lack of planning for the use of living expenses.

  The survey shows that 40% of college students will not plan and arrange the use of living expenses. When the living expenses can’t meet the expenses, 43% of college students choose to give up consumption, while others will choose to ask their parents for help (40%), spend first and then pay (20%) and borrow money from friends (15%) to meet their consumption needs.

  The survey also showed that 39% of the students surveyed reported that someone around them had used campus loans. The report suggests that colleges and universities should pay more attention to students’ lives, guide students with financial difficulties to seek help and give them help, strengthen risk prevention education, and guide college students to spend rationally and plan their consumption.

Test the taste of the new Chuanqi GS3· movie speed young people. It knows very well.

[Pacific Auto Evaluation Channel] Chuanqi GS3 (parameter picture) (inquiry base price | reference matching) is the sales responsibility of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi in the small SUV market segment. With its low entry threshold and dynamic fashion design, it quickly won the favor of a new generation of young people in 2017, and its market performance has been very good. In March of this year, Chuanqi GS3 also ushered in a new generation of models-Chuanqi GS3 Shadow Speed. As the third model of Chuanqi "Shadow" generation family, the new car has been improved in all aspects, such as internal and external values, intelligent configuration and power. What’s the actual performance? It is the focus of our next experience.

The car purchase policy is very friendly to young people.

Buy at a low threshold and sell cars at a high rate of preservation.

The new generation Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has launched four models, with the selling price range of 858-111,800 yuan. In addition to the good price, GAC Chuanqi also brought more surprises at the launch conference of GS3· Shadow Speed. Just after the sale price of the new car was announced, before the cheers on the scene dissipated, the official announced the "triple gift" for the listing of the new car. Among them, the "financial gift" provided a financial scheme with zero down payment, and also provided flexible repayment services. Only 66 yuan was repaid in each of the first six issues, which greatly reduced the threshold for young people to buy a car and let the car land as soon as possible.

Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed Model Price (10,000 yuan) Jin Jin Edition 8.58 Jin Zhi Edition 9.58 Jin Zhi Edition 10.58R-STYLE Edition 11.18 Speed Enjoy Financial Gift: Flexible repayment, ultra-low monthly payment for 66 yuan (the first six issues); 0 yuan down payment, easy to get on the bus

Enjoy the gift of value preservation immediately: 20% discount for value preservation and redemption for up to 3 years.

Enjoy the traffic gift: free basic traffic for life and free entertainment traffic for 3 years (6G/ month).

However, what makes everyone at the scene can’t help cheering again is the "value-preserving ceremony", that is, car buyers can enjoy the value-preserving and redemption service of up to 3 years and 20% discount. That is to say, when everyone’s Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed expires for 3 years, if they want to buy other models of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi brand, the official will buy back everyone’s vehicles at the highest 80% preservation rate (according to the fare). The depreciation amount after 3 years can also be converted into a daily usage fee deduction.

This means that users can not only buy cars at a low threshold, but also sell cars at a high rate of preservation, thus eliminating consumers’ "residual anxiety" about new cars. This "buy-and-sell" shows a strong inclusiveness and the initial intention of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi, a national brand.

Of course, whether it’s a financial plan or a high rate of preservation, these are just one of the eye-catching factors. Ultimately, the core that can affect young people’s car purchase decisions depends on the product strength itself, so next we will conduct a detailed test experience on Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed.

Appearance: R-STYLE version is so cool!

The main consumers of small SUVs are young people, so Chuanqi GS3 Shadow Speed also focuses on the improvement of face value in this upgrade. At a glance, it can be seen that the appearance of Chuanqi GS3 Shadow Speed has changed dramatically compared with the previous generation. As the third model of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi’s "Shadow Corps", the new car naturally has a strong "Shadow" style, and it is effective in off the charts.

In terms of body appearance color, the new generation Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has five colors, namely, Mohe Grey, Salt Lake Blue, Ivory White, Superstar Silver and Haoyue Grey, among which Mohe Grey and Salt Lake Blue are two new colors. Ink grey is made of high-grade aluminum powder to form a matte texture with a unique metallic and gritty feeling, while salt lake blue is equipped with a high fixation system to fully ensure the high saturation of car paint.

It is worth mentioning that the new generation Chuanqi GS3· Quick Shadow Factory also provided a 5000-piece optional package, which can be upgraded to 19-inch wheels, Michelin PS4 tires (with a single value of more than 1500 yuan) and track mode (including performance training) at a cost of 5000 yuan, which is still very worthwhile if it is considered in terms of performance orientation.

Interior: texture and sense of science and technology surpass the same level.

Compared with the previous generation, the interior of the new generation Chuanqi GS3· Fast Shadow has made a qualitative leap in texture and technological atmosphere. The specific elements include the design of 12.3-inch LCD dual screen, exquisite and compact ring-type electronic gear shifting mechanism, leather seat with star texture, 32-color adjustable ambient light system, air conditioning outlet similar to propeller nozzle … It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to find a second rival among the 80,000-class SUVs.

In addition, the brand-new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has a late-comer advantage in intelligence because it is a freshly baked product. Its intelligent cockpit system is equipped with an 8-core high-performance car, which can respond to intelligent voice interaction at high speed, and has rich online entertainment functions and convenience functions, which is ahead of most competing products of the same level at present.

Seat Comfort & Sitting Space

The body size of the new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed is 4410mm/4446mm (regular version /R-STYLE version) *1850mm*1600mm, and the wheelbase size is 2650mm, which is one of the best in its class. Therefore, a spacious rear row space is not a problem, and young users have children, even a second child, which is enough for daily use. In addition, its rear floor is flat, which makes the rear passengers have enough leg space, even if three normal adults sit in the back at the same time, they can still ensure that everyone can have a comfortable sitting position.

Chuanqi GS3· Movie Speed R-STYLE Edition Space Exhibition:

Dynamic driving experience: clear road feeling/flexible driving.

Remember when Shadow Leopard first appeared, that exciting power system? Yes, Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed is also equipped with the same model. This power system of Guangzhou Automobile Julang Power’s third-generation 1.5TGDI engine +7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox has a maximum output of 130KW and a maximum torque of 270 N m. The official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.5s(R-STYLE version), which is significantly improved compared with the old models.

Comparing changan CS35 PLUS or Geely Binyue of the same level horizontally, it is easier to find that GS3· Shadow Speed is the car that can best provide the feeling of "small steel gun" at this price and level.

I have to say that when I first got started, I was deeply impressed by this Chuanqi GS3· movie speed. In addition to the appearance and interior in the sensory experience, it will not fall off the chain when it comes to dynamic driving. When you turn on the normal mode on the city road and lightly step on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle can give you very positive power feedback. Moreover, with the increase of gear, the gearbox shifts quickly, and you can’t feel the sense of frustration. The overall acceleration process has always been linear, which is the type that can be easily controlled.

Switch to SPORT+ mode. At this time, the throttle will basically be kept at 2200rpm, and the logic of gearbox upshift and downshift will be more anthropomorphic. With the richer exhaust sound, the sports taste will be very high in an instant. At this time, I have to sigh that Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed is probably the model that can provide the feeling of "small steel gun" at this price and level.

Of course, when you switch to sports mode and open the sports exhaust valve, and then step on the accelerator deeply to accelerate and overtake, the engine working sound from the engine compartment and the exhaust sound from the tail can greatly stimulate the driver to secrete more hormones, so that you have an impulse to stay excited and be ready for the battle at any time.

Performance test: excellent acceleration/braking performance

0-100km/h 100 km acceleration test: 7.63 seconds.

On the sunny day of the test, we adopted the ejection start mode, adjusted the driving mode to SPORT+ and turned off the body stability system. Due to the gearbox protection mechanism, the brake pedal was released when the speed was controlled in the range of 2000-2200rpm, and the accelerator pedal was fully pressed. At the beginning, the whole acceleration process was very smooth, and there was no tire slip, and the front of the car did not have an obvious upward posture. The whole acceleration process was completed in one go, and the final score of 7.63 seconds was basically consistent with the official propaganda, and it was also an excellent performance at this level.

100-0km/h braking distance: 34.72m.

It can be seen from the test chart that the braking force is linear during the whole braking process, and the G value has no obvious fluctuation. The powerful braking force gives the driver good confidence. The measured braking distance of 34.72 meters at 100-0km/h is enough to make Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed stand out in the same class.

Noise test

The test is divided into idle speed, 60km/h, 90km/h and 120km/h, and finally the noise inside the car is measured in the following table. Compared with competitors at the same level, this performance is slightly lower on the whole, and it can be clearly felt through the driving experience, especially when the noise is well controlled at high speed.

Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed Noise Test Speed Noise 0km/h (idle speed) 43.5db60km/h60.1db90km/h64.9db120km/h68.7db Note: Data source tabulation: Pacific Auto Network.

Fuel consumption test: the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of comprehensive road conditions is 6.7 liters.

As we also mentioned above, the official comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 6.18L, which is only 50 cents per kilometer. So what is the fuel economy of actually running on the road and passing on GS3·?

In terms of route, in order to simulate the most realistic daily car scene, we have planned the route combination of 50% urban low-speed sections, 30% urban trunk roads and 20% highway sections, which can basically simulate the morning and evening rush hours and smooth road sections. The measured distance is 100km, the air conditioner is adjusted to 24°C, the wind speed is 2 and the external circulation mode is started. The final average speed is about 27km/h, and the apparent average fuel consumption is 6.7L/100km, which is about 50 cents per kilometer, which is basically consistent with the official propaganda. This fuel cost is really very friendly to young people.

Full text summary

The brand-new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed continues the price strategy of the previous generation models, and provides a variety of financial staging schemes and innovatively puts forward an ultra-high value-keeping scheme of "three-year 20% repurchase", which fully dispels the worries of young people from the aspects of entry threshold and late replacement initiative. This wave of operation is really worthy of praise for GAC Chuanqi.

Of course, after our test, the brand-new Chuanqi GS3· Shadow Speed has also done a good job of pleasing all aspects of young people’s needs in terms of product strength. First of all, the shape is completely in line with the aesthetic requirements of young people, and a more sporty R-STYLE version has been launched for some segmentation needs; Secondly, the interior focuses on simple style, and the dual-screen design can meet the current scientific and technological needs. The most important model has a large internal space and the size has an advantage in the same level SUV; Finally, its golden power combination has both acceleration performance and fuel economy, so that young people with a small budget can reach it, drive it smoothly, use it conveniently and save money … So what is there to struggle with?
