　　After October, car enterprises 2024 “final battle” began to fight, and the Guangzhou Auto Show is not only the end of the year car market wind vane, but also car enterprises to fight the last two months of the main battlefield, so the market is highly concerned.

　　New forces steal the limelight

　　This year, the car market price war intensified, and the pressure of competition has been increasing. According to statistics, in the first 10 months of this year, the proportion of car companies to complete the annual sales target is not optimistic, the completion rate of more than 80% of the car companies are only a few, such as BYD, Geely, Zero Run, Xiaomi; completion rate of 70% to 80% of the car companies, including Ideal, Azure, Extreme Kryptonite, Chang'an and so on; but there are also many car companies to complete the rate of 6% and below, such as SAIC, Dongfeng, the Great Wall, EAE, SiaoPeng, ZhiGi, Avita and so on.

　　Some car companies have already held 2024 to win the annual business objectives, the closing sprint mobilization meeting, etc., and naturally will not miss the Guangzhou Auto Show as a display stage.

　　Chinese brands and new car-making forces stole the limelight at Auto Guangzhou. Two Guangdong “host” car companies set up a “special pavilion”, namely BYD and GAC Group, of which BYD is following this year's Chengdu Auto Show, once again “package pavilion”, the common debut of the Brands include BYD (including Dynasty, Ocean), Tengshi, Equation Leopard, Yangwang.

　　New car-making forces, millet car and Huawei to build the Hongmeng Zhixing booth is still the big hit of the auto show, in which the millet group millet SU7 Ultra prototype car debut, the launch of the crowd millet car booth surrounded by water, after the launch of the booth also took measures to limit the flow, you need to queue up in order to enter the car.

        The debut of the Zunjie brand also made the Monozukuri booth a highlight of the Guangzhou Auto Show. Huawei said that Zunjie will be released alongside the Mate70 at a conference before the end of November. However, it is worth noting that the production car of the Zunjie brand at the auto show was not openly displayed, but was placed in a “small dark room”, requiring an appointment to enter to watch.

         Change is still the main theme

　　Just as auto shows in recent years have placed more emphasis on the display of new energy and intelligence, this Guangzhou Auto Show is no less important. Among the 1,171 vehicles on display, the number of new energy vehicles is as high as 512, accounting for nearly 44%.

　　There are many heavyweight models among the above-mentioned new energy vehicles on display. In addition to the aforementioned Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, Sailix brought its entire lineup of models under the Inquirer brand - Inquirer M5, M7, and M9 - to this year's auto show. At the same time, SALIS unveiled the new generation of Super Range Extender System, which is based on “C2E Range Extender Architecture” and “RoboREX Intelligent Control Technology”. He Liyang, president of Sailix Auto, said at the scene, “From January to September this year, Sailix has carried more than 340,000 units of range extender.”

　　Geely and Baidu's Jiyue brand unveiled its first smart-driving supercar, ROBO X. Equipped with a high-performance drive system, the car accelerates from zero to 100 in less than 1.9 seconds and offers a maximum range of more than 650km. Reservations for the ROBO X were officially opened at the Guangzhou Auto Show, and mass production is expected to be realized in 2027.

         No new car enterprises also released in the automotive intelligence “big show of muscle”. Among them, Wisdom Auto, Momenta and NVIDIA NVIDIA reached a cooperation to create the industry's first DRIVE AGX Thor chip mass-production intelligent driving solutions, the program performance ceiling is higher, the evolution of faster. Extreme Krypton Automotive firstly demonstrated its full-stack self-developed Vast Smart Driving 2.0 technology, which is geared towards high-level intelligent driving and introduces a digital precognition network.

In many people's minds, haven't classic mid-size B-segment sedans from joint-venture brands always been around the 200,000 yuan mark? Think of the classic Magotan Passat, Honda Accord, or Toyota Camry, etc. However, the mid-size B-segment car market has become very competitive, and even the main models from Japanese brands have seen a general drop in prices, such as the Nissan Teana, which has offered so-called limited-time discounts.

In fact, the Nissan Teana Sincere Edition at 120,000 yuan is not a fantasy. The entry-level Sincere Edition, with a listed price of 179,800 yuan, can actually be had for 127,800 yuan after limited-time discounts. So, a model that once seemed out of reach now appears quite approachable. The size and positioning of the Nissan Teana Sincere Edition have not shrunk, and its configuration is relatively mainstream.

Moreover, the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT transmission offers a relatively smooth ride without any jerkiness. Plus, the WLTC combined fuel consumption can be controlled at 6.41 liters per 100 km. If you're not particularly pursuing the thrill of powerful performance, this car is quite practical for family use, with low fuel costs.

The Nissan Teana Sincere Edition has a design that is quite enduring. The front now features a larger horizontal grille, and the front is adorned with relatively narrow LED light groups. Although the side of the car maintains a traditional three-box sedan shape, the details include a two-tone treatment at the C-pillar, making the entire roof look very smooth, with an elegant style.

As a standard mid-size B-segment sedan, the car is 4906mm in length, 1850mm in width, and has a wheelbase of 2825mm. In terms of size, it is very close to the Honda Accord. Plus, the Nissan Teana has always been known for its spacious rear seats and the "big sofa" experience, which is indeed comfortable.

The interior configuration is not low either. Even the entry-level Nissan Teana Sincere Edition comes standard with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and supports 4G internet connectivity. It also features a seven-inch digital instrument cluster. Although this version does not offer full-speed adaptive cruise control, basic reversing imaging and cruise control are standard, which is enough for daily family use.

Of course, the hardware configuration is still the familiar 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. Without a turbocharger, the power performance parameters are indeed not strong. The factory状态下, the 2.0L engine outputs 156 horsepower and is matched with a CVT transmission, which indeed lacks passion. However, this power combination wins in stability, having been tested over the years, and its reliability is indeed high.

The question is, do you think the Nissan Teana Sincere Edition is a good deal? Welcome to leave a comment and discuss!
