When there are more and more electric vehicles on the road, consumers’ pursuits are also diversified, maybe it is the freshness of personality, maybe it is the fun of driving at will, or the hard-core technology that can sense the future in advance. As a result, the definition of "good car" is constantly being broken and reshaped.

　　A good product needs time to be meticulously crafted, remaining cutting-edge in technology and experience, and ultimately highly in line with consumers’ inner value expectations. As a pioneer in the electrification of luxury vehicles, Lexus continuously surpasses itself in the dimension of product and brand value, and uses technological innovation to drive products to better and more advanced directions to meet the changes and upgrades of users’ travel needs.

　　On February 14, two new products bearing the vision of "Lexus Electrified" – the new RZ, a native pure electric mid-sized luxury SUV, and the new generation RX, a medium and large luxury SUV, were officially launched. The new RZ launched a total of three models, with an official guide price of 369,900 yuan – 459,900 yuan, and the new generation RX launched a total of six models, with an official guide price of 405,000 yuan – 619,000 yuan. Such sincere and pragmatic pricing can be described as "reaching the hearts of the people." In the recent situation of price increases by independent brands and traditional luxury brands, it has increasingly highlighted the Lexus brand’s emphasis on the Chinese market and its determination to embrace electrification.

　　The new energy vehicle market has thus ushered in a heavyweight player. Powerful product selection, high-tech performance configuration, professional and warm service spirit have made the new RZ and RX stand out among similar competitors. Lexus has used a more unique way to integrate innovative technology and ingenious craftsmanship to inject a refreshing connotation into automotive products in the electrification era, demonstrating Lexus’ breakthroughs and evolution in exploring the road of multi-electrification.　

　　The new RZ sets a high value preservation benchmark　

　　The new RZ, as Lexus’ first BEV model based on the native pure electric platform, relies on the brand’s 30 years of electrification technology accumulation and cutting-edge technology to maximize the potential of the vehicle and reshape the driving texture. It marks a new step for Lexus on the road to electrification and starts a brand evolution with pure electric as the core.　

　　The new RZ integrates Lexus’ classic spindle design elements into the three-dimensional body, with a harmonious and dynamic posture and a long wheelbase of 2850mm for free and wide rear space. The simple and luxurious Tazuna reins concept cockpit design is centered on the driver, with a reasonable layout of the full-color head-up display HUD, LCD instrument panel and central display screen for efficient access. Large areas of environmentally friendly ecological materials create a natural and comfortable cockpit atmosphere, and the details show Lexus’s new aesthetic standards full of ritual in the electrification era.

　　Unlike the cookie-cutter pursuit of acceleration, large battery, and long battery life, Lexus does not play gimmicks and aims to bring users a driving texture that exceeds expectations. On the new RZ, it is equipped with a series of innovative technologies, including the DIRECT4 electronic dynamic four-wheel drive system. The overall handling and vehicle response can faithfully reflect the driver’s wishes, enhance control confidence, and allow users to enjoy the pure electric driving fun. It is not difficult to see from this that Lexus’ profound insights into the concept of building cars in the electrification era have brought consumers a completely different and beyond the previous product experience in the increasingly homogeneous electric vehicle market.　

　　The "kind" price of the new RZ is also surprising. As an imported luxury brand, the price of the new RZ in China is already in a low-lying area globally. Taking Europe as an example, the price of the new RZ in Spain is 73,000 – 88,000 euros (about RMB 510,000 – 610,000 yuan), and the starting price has exceeded the Chinese market, which reflects Lexus’ great sincerity for Chinese users and optimism about the world’s largest new energy vehicle market.

　　Lexus, which has long been a god of value preservation, has launched a sincere high-value preservation promise for used cars in order to eliminate consumers’ anxiety about purchasing pure electric vehicles: users who buy a new RZ can enjoy up to "90% within one year, 80% within two years, 70% within three years, and 60% within four years" when replacing Lexus brand models. It has to be said that such a value preservation service can be called "the conscience of the industry", which is a "new business card" for Lexus in the Chinese market, pushing the concept of high-quality service to a new height. 　

　　It can be said that the new RZ has revolutionized users’ previous perception of pure electric vehicles with its all-round evolutionary product value, unique new configuration and new performance. Coupled with the high value preservation commitment of the "ceiling" level, it has formed a more significant differentiation advantage, which coincides with the pursuit of Chinese users. The luxury electric vehicle market pattern is expected to be broken by Lexus.　

　　A new generation of RX "mixed" to new heights

　　With a forward-looking vision for electrification transformation, Lexus’ hybrid products have long been sold well around the world. With multiple advantages such as efficiency and performance, they have become the best choice for consumers’ low-carbon travel. As the core model of the brand, the RX series has been deeply loved by users around the world, including in China, since its launch in 1998.　

　　Now, the new RX upgraded to the fifth generation is available in China for the first time in a full-range full-hybrid lineup, achieving another leap in product power and showcasing Lexus’ new achievements in exploring the path of multi-electrification, providing consumers with practical and environmentally friendly options.

　　The newly upgraded GA-K platform has greatly improved the basic performance of the new generation of RX. The RX 350h adopts Lexus’ fourth-generation full-hybrid technology, which is better in terms of smoothness, quietness, comfort and fuel economy. Unlike other PHEV models based on fuel vehicles currently on the market, the power system of the RX 450h + is based on the brand’s mature hybrid system. It is developed to match the e-Four electric four-wheel drive system. Whether it is handling performance or pure electric battery life, it is more outstanding.　

　　The new generation of RX introduces the first high-performance hybrid model, the RX 500h F SPORT Performance, with a parallel hybrid structure for the first time, and a 2.4T turbocharged engine matched with the DIRECT4 electronic dynamic four-wheel drive system, providing an exciting driving experience.

　　In addition to the comprehensive enhancement of power performance, the active safety function also further interprets the Lexus "people-oriented" brand concept. The new generation of RX series comes standard with Lexus intelligent safety system LSS + 3.0, which adopts anthropomorphic safety design for common car safety pain points, and allows intelligent technology to intervene under the premise of ensuring safety, anticipate in advance, provide multi-faceted safety protection, and better fit the user’s driving habits.

　　Under the premise that a number of important configurations are standard in all systems, the comparative advantages of the new generation of RX three models in terms of price are even more worthy of a book. The hybrid model RX 350h has no price increase, and the starting price is the same as the old RX 300. The plug-in hybrid model RX 450h + can enjoy the green card and the purchase tax exemption policy. The high-performance hybrid model RX 500h provides a richer and more flexible package, which is full of sincerity.

　　As the main selling model, the new generation of RX offers a wealth of electrification solutions to new and old users. Its excellent product strength and competitive price are expected to promote the replacement of electrified models with traditional fuel vehicles, and achieve Lexus’ continued leadership in the medium and large luxury SUV market segment.

　　Accelerating towards an electrified future　

　　Under the trend of carbon neutrality, the huge incremental market of electric vehicles will usher in a broader development space.

　　According to the data of the Passenger Federation, the new energy penetration rate of passenger cars in China in 2022 has reached 27.6%, and the market penetration rate of new passenger cars with L2 auxiliary driving exceeds 30%. On the other hand, the data of the National Bureau of Statistics revealed that the proportion of households with cars in China is only 41.67%. From the perspective of market consumption, pure electric vehicles focus on meeting users who have increased purchase needs, while hybrid vehicles effectively solve the first purchase and exchange demands of more users. New energy vehicles are gradually expanding, accelerating the substitution process of traditional fuel vehicles.

　　Industries and markets are changing faster than expected, and electrification has therefore become an important strategic direction for Lexus’ transformation. As the world’s largest new energy vehicle market, China has provided the stage and confidence for Lexus, which has formed the Pareto Principle in the luxury car sector, to accelerate the electrification transformation.　

　　With the release of the "Lexus Electrification Vision" in 2019 as an opportunity, Lexus has further focused on advanced electrification technology and continuously enriched its electrified product lineup, including full hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and pure electric (BEV) models, to continue to provide users with indispensable driving pleasure and a luxury experience that exceeds expectations.

　　In the future, Lexus will gradually evolve into a BEV-centric brand. In this transformation process, Lexus will continue to provide diverse power options according to the needs of different regions and users, to help achieve carbon neutrality goals.

　　Since entering China in 2005, Lexus has been attracting Chinese consumers with its unique luxury temperament and brand temperature. Starting with the launch of the new RZ and the new generation of RX, Lexus has further met the diverse needs of users for electrification. In the luxury electric vehicle market full of changes, its unique brand charm and product strength, high-specification luxury taste and hospitality will form a closer value resonance with more and more consumers, and stage a "unique view" in the luxury car market.

2024 Sea Lion 6 PHEV review: Is this China’s new mid-size SUV that beats hybrids?

The whirlwind of the Australian tour brought another local model, the Sea Lion 6 midsize SUV.

This is a significant arrival for several reasons. First, it gives the Chinese manufacturer access to Australia’s largest sales market, and as aPlug-in hybridHere are three models that BYD has launched since 2022After the Atto 3, the first driven model launched in AustraliaEmission vehicles,andshark…

With annual sales expected to be around 20,000 units, local BYD dealer EVDirect has high hopes for the Sealion 6. it is itsBold triple-double sales targetAnd what will eventually become the cornerstone of Australia’s best-selling brand.

But so far, Australians haveNot much interest, and if they are interested in electrification, they prefer plug-in-free hybrids and pure electric vehicles.

So there must be a lot of work to be done here.

2024 BYD Sea Lion 6 price and equipment

Okay, if you’re wondering what Sealion 6 is, it was called Seal U in Australia until recently.

2024 BYD Sea Lion 6 cockpit.

But the desire to separate its identity from the electric Seal sedan prompted the change.

Therefore, considering that our coverage is already extensive, we will not repeat much beyond the specification basics.

There are two models available: the 48,990 front-wheel-drive Dynamic and the 52,990 AUD all-wheel-drive Premium (all prices include road rates). This pricing is easily lower than the Sea Lion 6’s most reasonable competitors and puts it in competition with the best-selling, no-plug hybrid.

Both Sealion 6s come with five seats, a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol and an 18.3kWh BYD "Blade" LFP battery.

Dynamic has one at the front, while Premium has been added to the ICE, with another motor at the back.

All the key performance specs are at the bottom of this story, but essentially, the Sealion 6 uses BYD’s fourth-generation DM-i (dual-motor intelligent) PHEV system to provide a claimed electric range of 80 to 90 kilometers (based on the slower NEDC rating), with a combined range of about 1,000 kilometers.

In essence, a lower-powered Dynamic can go further, and a higher-powered Premium can go faster.

In addition to the mechanics, they are stacked very tightly on the device. They all come with 19-inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, synthetic leather upholstery, the iconic BYD swivel screen, a comprehensive infotainment system (including karaoke!), as well as safety equipment and vehicle charging. Added to the premium version alone.

The 2024 BYD Sea Lion 6 has a comprehensive infotainment system. Even karaoke!

The vehicle is guaranteed for six years/150,000 km, the battery is guaranteed for eight years/160,000 km, the maintenance interval is 12 months/20,000 km, and the first five maintenance costs total $1600.

2024 BYD Sea Lion 6: Our Thoughts

Riding in the 2024 BYD Sea Lion 6 Premium, the first impression is luxurious, luxurious; large screen, soft covering. Only the rough stretching and tilt adjustment on one car hints at quality defects.

It lacks the unique nautical theme of the Atto 3. Instead, it has a modern and inviting appearance, which is typical of Chinese automakers.

Comfortable and flat power-adjustable front and rear seats, even for tall passengers, also provide support for this, with rear seats that can be raised for better views and that can recline but not slide.

The car comes with ample storage space, dual smartphone wireless chargers on the front, and front and rear USB ports.

The downside is that the trunk is only 425 litres, which is too small compared to competitors such as the Toyota RAV4. After the rear seats are folded, the trunk space can be expanded to 1440 litres. But you can’t find a spare tire, only a repair tool.

Our first drive was limited to Lang Lang’s old proving ground, so it didn’t cover all driving conditions; there were few stops, and that’s where the hybrid comes in the most.

But it does offer the opportunity to learn the basics of Sealion 6, and they seem to work well.

The powertrain wants to run as purely electric as possible (in tandem blended mode), but the driver can choose parallel mode to be on call and make a sound when more power is needed. There are also three driving modes – Economy, Normal and Sport.

The gasoline engine primarily acts as a range extender, so no matter what your left foot is doing, it will basically hum in the background in a steady state.

It does take an active part in driving the wheels at high speeds, under higher loads (e.g. when towing on a hill or when the battery is depleted). Drivers can also set the battery charge status when the ICE is started.

Just then, the stupid official fuel consumption statement was exposed as a fantasy.

BYD’s argument is that most Australians only drive an average of 30km a day, so they may never use any fuel. If they drive longer distances, they won’t worry about charging because ICE can act as a backup.

Although the powertrain experience is very smooth, the Sea Lion 6 Premium doesn’t feel like a vehicle with 228kW and 550Nm, nor is it capable of accelerating from standstill to 100km/h in 5.9 seconds as claimed.

It’s sturdy, but it’s not.So…Solid.

The rest of the driving experience reminds us that Chinese manufacturers still have a long way to go in terms of fine-tuning the ride, handling, and steering.

The Sea Lion 6 is locally tested and tuned for a soft and comfortable setting, which means there is a noticeable body roll around corners. The steering is adjustable in both modes, but both are light. So it makes sense that this is better for more stressful city work.

In its class, it lags far behind the best drivers, but at first glance it is also more composed than its Chinese compatriots, the H6, and the MG HS.

The lane-keeping intervention is delicate by Chinese standards. No one ever grabbed the wheel with force and impact during the hands-free self-driving tests – which is nice, but not legal. A fix has been scheduled for release.

2024 BYD Sea Lion 6: Verdict

The 2024 BYD Sea Lion 6 has an impressive powertrain, ample equipment, and a price tag that allows it to compete with major competitors, such as a range of high-end products.

At first glance – definitely more driving is needed – it feels powerful and comfortable to ride. But in terms of dynamics, there are better vehicles in the field.

The question is whether Australians will eventually seize the opportunity presented by Sea Lion 6 to adopt PHEV technology in large numbers, and whether enthusiast enthusiasm for BYD will translate into a wider audience.

It may seem like a daunting challenge, but within just a few years of landing in Australia, the BYD Cyclone taught us that anything is possible.

Young battlefield nurse Yang Zi

"Wounded" makeup

Yang Zi and the younger brother in the film "Gazi"

　　A few days ago, a war movie "Changde Bloodshed", which reflects the Kuomintang’s frontal resistance to the Japanese army, is under intense filming at Wang Zuo’s Bayi Film and Television Base. The film stars Lv Liangwei, Yang Zi, and An Yixuan. Yang Zi plays a tragic Miao girl in the play – Tao’er, which is also Yang Zi’s first role as an adult.

　　The film tells the story of 8,000 Kuomintang troops who stubbornly resisted after being surrounded by Japanese 30,000 in Changde in 1943 due to the miscalculation of the situation by the Kuomintang army. Yang Zi plays the tragic Miao girl Tao’er, who was born into a poor family. Her parents were killed by the Japanese invaders. She lived with her younger brother since she was a child, and later grew up into a revolutionary youth through the experience of war. Yang Zi, who is 17 years old, experiences many "firsts" in this film.

Participating in a war drama for the first time

　　"The Great Battle of Changde" is a majestic war drama and a man’s drama. During the Battle of Changde, the 57th Division of the 74th Army of the Kuomintang Army, which was responsible for defending Changde City, fought alone for 16 days and nights with 8,000 divisions against well-equipped 40,000 invaders under the circumstances that it was easy to attack and difficult to defend. In the end, almost the entire army was killed, but it also caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army. Yang Zi plays Tao’er, an army nurse who goes through the baptism of war with the troops. Yang Zi’s previous roles were all good girls at home or good students in the school. The scenes were all familiar schools and units. This time, he changed to the battlefield where the war was raging and the corpses were everywhere. She confessed that when she first arrived on the cast of "Changde Blood Battle", she was very uncomfortable. "When I saw the wounded soldiers, I was very afraid." I didn’t even dare to approach the "wounded" who were wearing makeup. Later, Yang Zi gradually integrated into the character, experiencing the difficult environment of the war era and the emotions of people in extraordinary times. She is a senior in high school and said that the film was an important lesson for her life and made her "grow a lot."

Playing an adult role for the first time

　　In the film, Tao’er is positioned in her twenties; for Yang Zi, who has just passed her seventeenth birthday, this is her first time challenging the role of an "adult". The biggest problem when setting makeup is how to look old. Several makeup tests were considered "too tender" by the director, and finally the director and makeup artist finally came up with a trick to look old: wearing a black face. The makeup artist used foundation on Yang Zi’s face and body that was several sizes darker than her skin tone. After makeup, Yang Zi looked like a "female bag", and she really looked haggard and old, which was more in line with Tao’er’s identity and age. When it comes to this unique makeup, Yang Zi laughs and says: "In the past, when I was filming, I always worried that my makeup was not perfect, so I would bring a small mirror to check myself at any time. This time, I don’t worry, it seems that the dirtier and uglier the better." When asked if I would worry about looking too ugly, Yang Zi said: "No, the actor just needs to be close to the character, and it doesn’t matter what kind of sacrifice is made in order to be close to the character!" — Yang Zi, who is only a senior in high school but has 12 years of acting experience, has already demanded himself by the standards of professional actors.

The first time a tragic woman

　　Unlike the simple and simple characters in the past, Tao’er, a Miao girl in "Changde Blood Battle", is a woman with a bumpy fate. Her parents died when she was young, and she raised her younger brother alone. Afraid of losing her younger brother, she stopped him from fighting against the Japanese, and later joined the revolutionary team. Yang Zi said that her previous roles were all children, who were cared for, but this time she has to take care of her younger brother as a "sister" or even a "mother", which is not a big challenge for her; the inner drama is much more complicated, and it needs to be natural and appropriate to express Tao’er’s change from not supporting the revolution to joining the revolution. Facing such a difficult role, Yang Zi has no stage fright – she started acting at the age of five, and she has accumulated a lot of experience with many big names. She is like the "youngest old actor". Yang Zi’s performance was well received by the director, who said she "played better than many actors who graduated from college."
