Following the success of the first ITTF mixed team World Cup in Chengdu in 2023, the ITTF announced on December 11th that the men’s singles World Cup and the women’s singles World Cup will also return. These two traditional ITTF events will be held in April, 2024 in China and Macau, the largest indoor gymnasium-Macau Galaxy Variety Hall.

The Galaxy Variety Hall, which can accommodate as many as 16,000 spectators, is the top indoor venue in Asia at present, equipped with the first-class technology and entertainment facilities in Asia, which will bring unprecedented experience to the audience.

The ITTF World Cup is one of the "three major competitions" of table tennis (Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup), and it is an important part of table tennis players’ personal Grand Slam. In 1980, the first ITTF Men’s Singles World Cup was held in Hongkong, China, and Guo Yuehua of China won the championship. In 1996, the first ITTF Women’s Singles World Cup was also held in Hongkong, and China’s Deng Yaping won the championship. However, in 2020, the ITTF announced the cancellation of the World Cup, which also led to the player’s grand slam achievement missing an important event.

At the press conference on the 11th, Petra Sorin, president of ITTF and member of the International Olympic Committee, said: "The mixed team World Cup in Chengdu in 2023 has achieved remarkable success, which also laid the foundation for the future. On this basis, we are pleased to announce that the men’s singles and women’s singles World Cup held in Macau, China in April 2024 will return, and the mixed team competition will be held in Chengdu next November. I believe that we will once again witness unforgettable events, which will further enrich the legacy of the ITTF World Cup. "

There are 33 days left in 2023, and in the coming year of 2024, many friends should have the demand of buying a car for the first time, changing it and increasing it. The picture shows that the car has summed up five suggestions for buying a car in 2024 based on the current development trend of the automobile industry and personal judgment.

First, new energy sources are preferred, and pure fuel vehicles are not recommended.

Many people may be reluctant to accept the fact that pure fuel vehicles are declining, but the fact is that fuel vehicles are accelerating to withdraw from the historical stage, at least in China. According to the monthly report of the Association, the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles has reached 38% in October 2023, and in January this year, the market penetration rate of new energy was still 25.7%. Compared with the same period of last year, the penetration rate of new energy market increased by 7.8% in October.

In terms of sales volume, of the 2.03 million new cars sold in October 2023, 770,000 were new energy vehicles, and the remaining 1.26 million were pure fuel vehicles. This comparison really shows that fuel vehicles are still difficult to hide the king’s demeanor, but if we compare the growth rate in the same period, it means that pure fuel vehicles are showing signs of decline-in November, the sales of new energy vehicles increased by 38% year-on-year, while the sales of pure fuel vehicles increased by -2.1%. In January, which was hit hardest by new energy, the sales of pure fuel vehicles increased by an astonishing -44.5% year-on-year.

It is not difficult to see that the pure fuel vehicle is going downhill as a whole, and there is no possibility of any return to life. In 2024, pure fuel vehicles, especially those below 200,000, will disappear faster. The newly listed consumer-grade vehicles are basically plug-in, extended-range or pure electric vehicles, and new pure fuel vehicles will be limited to joint venture brands and a few performance vehicles. For most consumers, accepting new energy sources may become the norm, because there are really not many pure fuel new cars to choose from.

In addition, it is still about wallets. 2024 is the penultimate year of new energy purchase tax exemption, and by 2026, new energy purchase tax will not be completely exempted. So, get on the bus when you get on, don’t hesitate, the later the fuel car changes, the greater the loss. You may not believe me, but the second-hand car association will give you lessons.

Second, program extension and multi-gear plug-in hybrid priority program extension

It is not yet clear who can laugh at the end between the extended program and the plug-in hybrid, but in the coming and foreseeable year of 2024, the extended program is undoubtedly the better solution.

Extended programs are often ridiculed as backward technology, but the answer given by the market is not the case. The sales volume of new energy terminals in October 2023 showed that the sales volume of plug-in hybrid vehicles in October was 159,000, and the sales volume of extended-range vehicles in the same period was 72,200, with a year-on-year increase of 211%. No matter what industry it is, "joining if you can’t beat it" is an eternal road. At first, you only wanted to extend your journey. Now Deep Blue, Wenjie, Zero Run, Lantu and even BYD have all joined the ranks of extending your journey. Only Tucki and Weilai are the independent new energy brands that firmly adhere to the pure circuit line, and the sales of the latter have reached the "not very good" range.

At the same time, the self-owned brands that adhere to the multi-gear plug-in hybrid technology route are also uncomfortable. How many of the 159,000 plug-in new cars are BYD’s single-gear plug-in, I think you have a good idea.

Undoubtedly, in the coming year of 2024, with the continuous decline in the price of raw materials for batteries, there will be more and more extended-range models for large batteries. A very simple question, when the extended pure electric mileage comes to about 350 kilometers, what are the advantages of plug-in hybrid models with 55 kilometers and 120 kilometers of pure electric battery life? Not to mention the multi-speed plug-in hybrid vehicle with complex technology and easy failure.

Third, the conditions allow priority to choose the smart driving version.

Nowadays, the development speed of new cars is really fast, and electrification is accompanied by intelligence. Of course, the intelligence here is not a disappearing gear handle and an increasingly large central control screen, but an increasingly advanced auxiliary driving function. When quite a few people are not used to giving the throttle to the adaptive cruise system, the tram has entered the stage of giving the steering wheel to the auxiliary driving system.

Then the two-day video of Smart World S7 and Ideal Unmanned parking service shows us to some extent the normal state of parking in the basements of first-and second-tier cities after two or three years-the basements of big shopping malls are full of cars with drivers who have no one to find their own parking spaces, and in most cases, they may be better and more courteous than human drivers.

Intelligent driving is not limited to unmanned parking service, but also point-to-point navigation assistance. At present, most car companies’ intelligent driving schemes are still in semi-closed road environment such as expressway/urban expressway, which is only the initial stage of pilot assistance. The higher level is the navigation assistance of complex urban roads, and the foreseeable ultimate goal is the point-to-point navigation assistance. At present, the intelligent driving technology of some car companies has actually reached the point-to-point level of navigation assistance, but the policies, regulations and road environmental conditions have not yet reached the practical level. In the future, with the improvement of regulations and urban infrastructure, point-to-point navigation assistance will no longer be a scene unique to science fiction films.

In the coming year of 2024, most trams with a price of more than 150,000 yuan should provide a smart driving version, which usually uses the suffix of MAX or I, and the price is usually about 20,000 yuan more expensive than the ordinary version. At the same time, there may be a new trend that all new cars have the redundancy of intelligent driving hardware. If you want to open the intelligent driving function in the future, you only need to purchase the service and push the intelligent driving function through OTA.

Therefore, considering the change cycle of 5-6 years, if you buy a tram next year, it is recommended to give priority to the intelligent driving version. If conditions do not permit, try to choose a model with intelligent driving hardware redundancy that can be upgraded through OTA, so that you can upgrade to the intelligent driving version at any time when future conditions permit. The intelligent driving era will not be too far away.

Fourth, independent brand new energy gives priority to big manufacturers and their sub-brands.

Needless to say, in recent years, new energy sources of independent brands have emerged in an endless stream, and many of them are short-lived. The latter are basically "new forces" without endorsement from big manufacturers. Other things aside, just by fighting the price war, the big manufacturers will persist longer than the new forces, and the after-sales and supply chain of the big manufacturers will be more complete, at least there will be no crisis in the car machine.

At the same time, the self-owned brand new energy sub-brands are actually doing very well, and the level of adjustment is inevitable, but at least the hardware is full, and more than 200,000 double wishbone air suspensions are arranged for you. The same price can be given priority.

Fifth, buy early and enjoy the discount for buying late.

This is applicable at any time, because the development of science and technology is a process of continuous innovation and progress, and everyone may be backstab. For example, when you are still immersed in the expectation and joy of waiting for your car to be transported to the delivery center, the APP highlights the push of the smart driving version of the same model.

At this time, you should learn to comfort yourself that "buy early and enjoy the discount when you buy late". In the new energy era, new cars come out faster than mobile phones. No matter when you buy a car, there are always better and more advanced models on the market, and the models that can afford and meet your needs are the most suitable. In short, the best scenery is always in the distance, and it is wonderful to learn to enjoy the present.

The year 2023 is coming to an end, with less than a month left in the blink of an eye. Looking back on this year, using one word to describe the automobile industry is the flying of rolls and rolls. There are endless new products on the new energy track, and the field of fuel vehicles has also started price wars one after another. Car manufacturers have finished rolling up the price of products. For consumers, this year is indeed a year suitable for buying cars.

Today, let’s take a look at the products that surprised you in 2023 and are worth starting with. Here are 10 models, which are very heavy.

Byd seagull

It has been listed for more than 7 months, but it has won the championship for more than 6 months. This is BYD Seagull. From the appearance of BYD Seagull in April to October, it is the champion of this level of car sales every month, and even has a sales volume of more than 40,000, making it a popular candidate for the champion of car sales.

Recently, the 200,000th seagull officially rolled off the assembly line. Up to now, the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 180,000, and the results are not dazzling. This success, in addition to the blessing of BYD brand aura, is also indispensable to the outstanding strength of the model itself. The lower threshold, the better car cost performance, the upper-middle level seating space of the same class and the relatively sporty and fashionable appearance make Seagull very suitable for consumers who pay attention to economic applicability such as commuting.

Deep blue S7

The dark blue S7, known as the "King of Volume" of the 7-character generation, has only been listed for half a year. From the latest sales data, for example, in October, Deep Blue S7 also had data of over 8,000 vehicles, which was considered as a best-selling camp.

The advantage of Deep Blue S7 can roll lies in its price. It is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, and its price is less than 150,000. Its cost performance is outstanding, and its face value, space and configuration are online. The first car owner also enjoys the lifetime warranty policy of the battery pack. Under the premise of low car purchase threshold and low car use threshold, the maintenance cost is also invisibly lowered, which is just right for the modern young people’s psychology of "saving the flowers". The product strength is icing on the cake, and the price advantage is the last word.

Wen Jie M7

It is said that a M7 that is far ahead has revitalized the world, making the products with low sales suddenly come back to life. Less than 50 days after listing, the sales volume of Dading exceeded 80,000, which is dazzling in the whole high-end new energy field, and it really makes the ideal feel the pressure.

There is no doubt about Huawei’s brand power, and HarmonyOS’s intelligent ecosystem is also a bright spot. However, the success of the M7 is also inseparable from the model itself. For example, the improvement of the overall mechanical quality and configuration level is obvious for the enhancement of handling and comfort. Moreover, the price adjustment and positioning are more reasonable, and the opponent is reduced from L8 to L7. Relying on the price advantage, the brand influence and its own strength, it is not all the credit of being far ahead.

Feifan F7

In terms of sales volume, Feifan F7 did not achieve the expected popularity. However, judging from the model itself, Feifan F7 can still rank among the annual models.

At the beginning of the year, when Feifan F7 appeared to announce the selling price, there was also a real wave of enthusiasm. Some people feel sincere because of the low price threshold of the model, some people complain because of the unreasonable scheme of renting batteries and buying out batteries in Feifan F7 battery exchange mode, and some people are surprised because of the NVH of this car …

Nowadays, according to the data that the monthly sales volume is just over 2,000 vehicles, the purchasing power of heat conversion is limited. Moreover, SAIC, which is backed by Feifan, is not only betting on Feifan, but also the D7 model of Zhiji and Roewe itself. Although the overall price-performance ratio of Feifan F7 is excellent, now the 200,000+market segment is completely established as an explosion, and there are still some characteristics with higher recognition. Therefore, Feifan F7 will inevitably be listed less than one year. Under the impact of new products, the terminal will give a drop of about 20,000, and the price-performance ratio of the whole vehicle will be improved by price advantage.

Zhiji LS6

At the beginning of the year, Zhiji LS7 just made its debut. Near the end of the year, the sister model Zhiji LS6 made a strong attack.

Obviously, in order to start the brand of Zhiji, SAIC has also made great efforts, and the price has dropped again and again. From Zhiji L7 to Zhiji LS7 to Zhiji LS6, the terminal has given a limited-time discount of 15,000, and the threshold has been lowered to the early 210,000. Compared with Zhiji LS7, the performance-price ratio has been significantly improved. After all, in terms of size, Zhiji LS6 is only a little smaller, but it is a whole level lower in price.

Moreover, Zhiji LS6 quasi-900V dual silicon carbide platform not only ensures zero acceleration within 3.5S, but also pays more attention to the intelligent car experience of vehicles. For example, the elevated NOA capability comes standard with NVIDIA Orin-X chip and lidar to ensure convenient, comfortable and intelligent travel.

Zhijie S7

What sparks can Chery and Huawei collide? Just look at the intellectual S7.

At the end of November, Zhijie S7 officially debuted, with a price of 249,800 yuan. It is aimed at medium and large-sized cars, 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform is standard, and Huawei empowers Turing intelligent chassis and other new technologies. It only takes 3.3S to accelerate 100 kilometers, and CLTC’s comprehensive cruising range can reach 855km, and it can last 215km in five minutes.

Judging from the current data, the reservation has exceeded 20,000 units. It is good news for Chery’s road to electrification transformation. The design of the front face of Zhijie S7, especially the headlights, is very Huawei’s style. From the perspective of positioning, the price of this car is actually not dominant in the auto market of 200,000+,and the so-called outstanding selling points are not clear. The so-called intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving and fast charging are basically standard in this market segment. The product characteristics of Zhijie S7 are not clear. Perhaps Huawei’s brand power and Chery’s influence can play a certain role, but if you want to win the first place, and

Haobo HT

In contrast, the niche attribute of Haobo HT is relatively clear.

Throughout the field of new energy, the explosion mode is nothing more than niche configuration and mass production positioning. In this mode, it is often the easiest to give birth to explosions, such as ideals and Tesla. Nowadays, Haobo HT has also grasped the key point, relying on popular positioning and niche configuration, and wants to stand out in the 200,000+camp.

Standard European wing door, with Dolby panoramic sound, has a memory point in terms of car experience and visual effects. Combined with the price of 213,900, the threshold is not high, and the performance in relatively balanced products can still occupy a place in the middle and large pure electric SUV camp. Judging from the current data, there are orders for more than 20,000 vehicles in less than one month of pre-sale, which is a great success for this new brand with a total of three models listed soon.

Lan tu Zhu guang

The 200,000+market has never lacked good cars. Under the shackles of classic benchmarks such as BYD Han and Tesla Model 3, if you want to gain a firm foothold quickly, you must rely on outstanding characteristics to attract potential and fixed audiences, that is to say, the labeling should be clear, and it should arouse the resonance and recognition of the audience, so that it can be truly transformed into purchasing power.

The pursuit of light like Lantu has set its sights on groups with business car needs. From the price point of view, the threshold of chasing light from 266,900 is not low in the same class, but it comes standard with electric four-wheel drive, with a million-level magic carpet chassis, air suspension and CDC blessing, which can be adjusted in advance to reduce the bumpy feeling. The rear row also has administrative push-off, the four-seat mode comes standard with massage ventilation and heating functions, and the intelligent auxiliary driving system of L2.9 level, and the driving quality is even better.

Byd song l

The price has not been officially announced, but it is not surprising that BYD Song L will also be an explosive product.

The positioning should be between Song PLUS and Tang Dynasty, which is considered as a B-class SUV product. Its shape is also different from that of Song PLUS and Tang Dynasty, and it is more sporty and fashionable, and its personality is towering. Hunting coupe SUV positioning, strong cross-border style, and more aggressive modeling, strong sports atmosphere, distinctive features, more like young audiences. Many people call it "the most beautiful BYD" in the SUV field.

The highlight of BYD Song L lies not only in the car itself, but also in the blessing of brand influence. With the endorsement of BYD, Song L has more outstanding advantages in terms of technology, word-of-mouth and stability and reliability. Thanks to BYD’s highly vertically integrated industry consolidation ability, Song L also has room for price reduction. No matter how the market changes, compared with the new power products, Song L has stronger pressure resistance.

Ideality MEGA

While the most beautiful BYD is on the scene, the ugliest ideal is about to go online.

This product with a strong sense of technology and futurity, which looks like a concept car, will be a formal production car. It is the ideal MEGA, and according to the official data, the number of orders has exceeded 10,000, and there are many people who spit it out, but obviously there are as many people who recognize it.

The price will be around 500,000-600,000. The new car will be unveiled in December and delivered in January of the following year. Although the appearance has changed to the ideal calm and atmospheric style, the interior still retains a lot of the same design, and the big screen is still very eye-catching. The unique design also brings excellent performance of wind resistance coefficient, which is only 0.215Cd. Although it is a 7-seat layout, the space utilization is reasonable, and various modes can be switched. Two rows of independent seats also ensure comfort. The 800V platform is built, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 5.5S, and the travel quality and control are guaranteed.
