<h1>The car has only been driven a few thousand kilometers, yet it s been taken apart everywhere! What s the catch with this 380,000-yuan AITO M9?</h1>
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/d24bc424-e8e5-48e6-a344-597aa8d4fc5b.png">
 Hello, everyone~ It s time for Auto Inspector to meet you again! I m a big guy weighing 180 with a height of 180, wearing size 44 shoes—dealers usually think twice before misrepresenting a car s condition when they see me. Though I may look imposing, I m actually very meticulous and won t overlook any details. Today, I m sharing with you a barely-used AITO M9 (image | configuration | price), reportedly nearly 100,000 cheaper than a brand-new one! 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/34cb634b-90e5-42e1-bc8d-f84ecfd7f9c8.png">
 Although many people criticize the AITO M9 online, as a premium vehicle in the 500,000-yuan price range, it has already surpassed 170,000 cumulative sales in less than a year since its launch, averaging over 10,000 units per month. It firmly holds the top spot among luxury SUVs priced above 500,000 yuan—undeniably impressive. After all, 500,000 yuan is no small sum. You might argue that AITO s marketing is overhyped, but can you really say those who spend that much on the car are just foolish with money? Votes cast with wallets speak far louder than those with words. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/d34769f0-f85a-4c32-8d09-bf85411f1413.png">
 Brother Tang from Chongqing mentioned that he really wanted a large-sized SUV, but there were too few options for traditional gasoline-powered cars, and the prices were too high. The key issue was that compared to new energy vehicles like the AITO M9, they fell far behind in terms of both smart features and comfort. The extended-range version also solved the problem of range anxiety, making it a perfect choice. Brother Tang also said he had looked at the Li L9 and thought it was good too, but a friend introduced him to this AITO M9, which had only been driven for a few months and was 100,000 yuan cheaper than a brand-new one, offering great value for money. So, he decided to give it a try. However, the seller mentioned that the car had been in an accident at the front, so Brother Tang asked us to help assess the severity of the damage—if it was minor, he could still accept it. Now, let’s take a look at today’s featured car. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/c40f87b0-cad4-486f-9599-f49bb6427bc8.png">
 Model Year: AITO M9 2024 Extended Range Max Edition 42kW 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/b086ba56-3a6b-41ed-bfd8-0aacacd865b6.png">
 Manufacturing date: May 2024 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/33c72cfc-b1df-4872-ad63-b56bbf92774a.png">
 Displayed mileage: 5,000 kilometers 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/37e8da24-b879-4aaf-82ad-cfd9bad879a4.png">
 Manufacturer s Suggested Retail Price: ¥469,800 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/aaddce8a-e123-4ec0-9d83-82514fec1ff7.png">
 Seller s quote: 380,000. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/1cf923c5-400c-423b-8f48-37a0598fc99e.png">
 As a nearly new car with only a few thousand kilometers driven, the actual experience is almost the same as a brand-new one—it s just a matter of an extra ownership transfer, which is still quite cost-effective. The most important thing is to assess how significant the car s issues are. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/519362a9-3fdd-485a-a1d9-0c40ee815b90.png">
 To be honest, the presence of this car is truly impressive—it almost feels like a Mercedes-Benz GLS Maybach. The entire exterior and interior are quite fresh, and with a little tidying up, it could almost pass as brand new. The interior also looks full of tech. But frankly, as a skeptic, I’m still quite doubtful about this kind of new energy vehicle since it hasn’t stood the test of time. Of course, a big part of it is that I haven’t reached that level of spending power. Even if I had 500,000, I wouldn’t consider buying this car—what if I made the wrong choice? The cost of trial and error is just too high. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/d9d3eaf2-b14a-425a-ac76-d002120b077e.png">
 Upon inspecting the front of the vehicle, it was found that the screws on the front bumper, headlight frame, and radiator frame had all been removed. However, the headlight s production date matches and shows no signs of replacement. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/0c5a847e-f450-46d7-95cb-7c8a880e4311.png">
 Next, upon inspection, it can be seen that the engine hood and the fenders on both sides have been removed, and the engine mounts have also been taken off. However, the front frame rails are intact, which doesn t make sense theoretically. If the frame rails are undamaged, there should be no need to remove the engine. Let s proceed with this question in mind and continue examining the left and right sides. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/dceba25d-0a33-4940-add0-a8ce4afc48e7.png">
 The paint thickness readings on the outer surfaces of the left A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar are higher than normal, but no signs of repainting were detected. Both left-side doors show evidence of having been removed and reinstalled, and there is minor bodywork and repainting on the left side sill. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/c240841e-2c08-4414-bec9-3b059946a130.png">
 The two doors on the right side have also been removed, but the A, B, and C pillars are intact. This situation is quite peculiar because none of the four doors have been replaced or repainted, so why were they removed? The frame is also undamaged. With this question in mind, let s continue our investigation. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/a8b0117a-5244-479c-a8a4-1ad0cff4176f.png">
 The rear bumper has been removed, both rear taillights on the left and right sides have been removed, and the trunk lid has also been removed. However, the taillight frames and rear tail panel are intact, and even the internal charging system and electronic control unit have been completely dismantled. It s quite strange—this car shows signs of disassembly all over the exterior, yet there are no part replacements or major repairs. So far, there s no suspicion of a major accident. Next, let s take a look at the engine. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/280bc5a0-eb0f-408e-a89b-6fe0cd593bfd.png">
 The AITO M9 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and two electric motors, delivering a maximum power of 365 kW and a peak torque of 675 N·m, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 4.9 seconds. The performance of new energy vehicles is indeed an advantage. For a large SUV like this, achieving such performance with a traditional fuel-powered vehicle would require an 8-cylinder engine, pushing the price well over 1.5 million yuan. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/0f15e2ea-da2b-49fa-83d0-8988f2e13766.png">
 After inspecting the engine compartment, I found that the main components of the engine and transmission have not been disassembled, but both have been removed from the vehicle because their mounts were taken off, including the fuse box. I suspect there might have been water damage, as too many parts of the entire car have been dismantled. More evidence is needed to confirm this. Next, let s take a look at the interior. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/450092c9-9ce8-446b-a29d-3bcc44712657.png">
 Getting up close to the interior, the seats are soft and very comfortable to sit on. Almost every surface you touch is made of soft materials, giving a high-end feel. Compared to my Ford Focus, the difference is like night and day. Currently, the interior shows no signs of wear. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/a2379ba0-e816-48e5-b6cf-a7217b0bd982.png">
 The back seat is also quite spacious and doesn t appear to have been water-damaged. Let s check the details right away. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/fdc3bfb3-b566-4e23-b508-fa35e312521a.png">
 You can see the wire plug under the seat and mud beneath the seat—could it really have been waterlogged? 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/ce1704b6-95ee-4381-b46b-a445a6bc0370.png">
 Pry open the area beneath the seat carpet and use an endoscope to inspect the cavity—it appears clean and tidy, with no water stains or mud. This is quite strange. While there is mud under the seat, the area beneath the carpet is entirely clean. Could the seat have been replaced? 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/e80dcd56-36f6-480a-bb45-1c5e69641ebf.png">
 So I compared and found that the plastic parts on the right threshold had also been removed, including the B-pillar trim, headliner, and A-pillar trim, all of which showed signs of disassembly. 
 The dashboard, steering wheel, and all seat belts in the car show signs of having been removed and reinstalled, which essentially means the entire interior has been taken apart. However, what s strange is that the car hasn t been water-damaged, so why would so many components have been dismantled? The more I inspect this vehicle, the more confused I become. But by now, a bold suspicion has already formed in my mind. Next, I ll lift the car to inspect the chassis and verify my hypothesis. 
 Lifting the car reveals a very clean underside, which aligns with the expected condition after just over 5,000 kilometers. 
 The inspection revealed that the exhaust pipe, underbody guard, and all suspension components had been removed. 
 The subframes at the front and rear, as well as the front and rear crash beams, have been removed. However, the main components, the engine and transmission, have not been disassembled—only lifted. Seeing this, I ve basically reached a conclusion, but I still need a few more photos to confirm. 
 You can see that the car body is quite new, without any traces of mud or dirt. Even if it has only been driven a little over 5,000 kilometers, some mud and water stains would have accumulated underneath over time. This one is clearly brand new. 
 Moreover, it can be seen that all four tires were manufactured in 2023, including all the glass on the vehicle, which was also produced in 2023. However, this car was manufactured in May 2024. For such a popular model, it’s impossible to use components that old. Therefore, my conclusion is that this car either had its body shell replaced or it’s an assembled vehicle! After communicating with the seller, they claimed the car was sourced from the Seres factory. This raises another possibility—it could be a test vehicle. In any case, the car itself doesn’t seem to have any major accidents. 
 In the end, I told the customer everything I had detected in detail, and he was utterly shocked. He said he had never even heard of such a car before, let alone seen one! No wonder it was so cheap—it seems you really do get what you pay for. So, what do you all think? Can this car actually be bought? Personally, I think if the disassembly and reassembly were done by the manufacturer themselves, the difference from a brand-new car wouldn’t be that significant. It’s just that buyers might feel uneasy about it. At that point, it all comes down to whether the price is right—if it’s reasonable, I think it could be worth buying. But at 380,000 yuan, if it were me, I wouldn’t even consider it.

2025 Neta X 400 Air Review: Affordable Electric Compact SUV for Family Commuting

<h1>It became a damaged car even before getting licensed! This AITO M9 is discounted by tens of thousands—should you buy a transport-damaged vehicle?</h1><img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/48e93bd0-91a1-4e41-a4bb-1b7c71a19b54.png">Hello, everyone~ The veteran from Jianchejia is back with you again. I m Akun, a used car inspector. I used to be a top dog in the auto repair world, honing my skills over the years with more than four years in the industry. Now, by a twist of fate, I ve joined Jianchejia, where I ve passed rigorous assessments and training to become a certified used car inspector. My mission is to safeguard your car-buying rights, and I’m thrilled to share this episode’s interesting used car inspection story with you. Today, I’ll walk you through the inspection of a transport-damaged vehicle.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/beea0441-6195-4b17-a6cb-079d26cadaa0.png">Simply put, a transport-damaged car is a new vehicle that sustained damage during transportation, typically occurring on the way from the manufacturer to the dealership. These cars are usually cheaper than brand-new ones. Of course, some dealerships might take a chance by repairing minor transport damage and selling the vehicle as new. If discovered by consumers, this could result in compensation of three times the purchase price! Today, I, Akun, have been entrusted by a client to inspect a transport-damaged AITO M9 in Pingshan County, Shijiazhuang.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/bd47884f-e402-4630-977c-a3baa15e8d9c.png">Arriving at the vehicle inspection location, I discovered this was a place specializing in selling transport-damaged cars. To be fair, if the transport damage isn t severe, these cars can indeed be a great deal. For example, a high-end model like the AITO M9, which normally costs 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, could be tens of thousands cheaper with minor transport damage. According to the information provided by the client, this particular vehicle is a 2024 AITO M9 Extended-Range Max Edition with a 42kWh battery and 6 seats, manufactured in September 2024. The odometer shows just 7 kilometers, and the original retail price was 469,800 yuan. The current asking price from the seller isn t disclosed to us—the dealer isn t sharing that information, likely due to business confidentiality concerns.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/dc3e18f7-40be-4805-bb1c-4ddf2ec509f7.png">However, the transport damage to this car is not minor. You can see the front windshield is broken, and there s a dent on the pillar. The customer asked us to check if there are any other issues. So, let s immediately give this car a thorough health check.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/304d66a0-8060-458c-aff4-6e83a54f5e4d.png">The windshield is indeed completely shattered and definitely needs to be replaced. Additionally, there are dents on both the left and right A-pillars. The one on the left is relatively small, but the dent on the right is deformed over 8 cm in length. According to national standards, this qualifies as a standard accident vehicle—what we commonly refer to as a major accident car. It’s just bad luck that the car became an accident vehicle before it even hit the road! However, the client said he can accept these two issues, as minor deformations don’t affect much, and he’s fine as long as there are no problems elsewhere.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/d1493237-6922-4b12-b139-dda5164adf67.png">Upon inspecting the exterior, no issues were found in other areas, and the overall condition still appears quite new. Despite being a transport-damaged vehicle, it has only 7 kilometers on it, making it essentially like a brand-new car. The protective seat covers are still on the interior, which is also very clean without any signs of damage. It seems the transport damage did not affect the interior.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/ee1ebc85-6f3b-4772-836d-60d8bddbbbef.png">Upon inspecting the front end of the vehicle, it can be observed that the screws on the front bumper show no signs of removal, the hood screws remain untouched, and the paint surface is in good condition. Additionally, the screws on the radiator support frame and the anti-collision beam are intact without any issues.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/eb5815c7-1131-4eeb-99c5-55d1c3b31dcb.png">After a full round of paint inspection, the entire car retains its original factory paint, including the bumpers, with no damage or scratches on the surface. It appears that only the front windshield and A-pillar are damaged, while the rest of the car remains in like-new condition, with no issues found. This aligns with what the seller has stated.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/af89a1f7-6214-405d-af2a-ace0719b7c62.png">Although it s a new car, according to our thorough inspection process, the engine still needs to be checked. This vehicle is an extended-range model, equipped with a 1.5T range extender engine—many also call it a range extender—along with two electric motors. It delivers a maximum power of 3565 kW and a peak torque of 675 N·m, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Keep in mind, this is a full-size SUV weighing 2.6 tons. To achieve this kind of performance in a gasoline-powered car, you d likely need an 8-cylinder engine or above!<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/a37db9f1-61ff-426e-9cb1-4e651c480fb5.png">The valve cover of this range-extender engine shows no signs of being removed or repaired. Both the intake and exhaust manifolds, as well as the engine mount bolts, are in proper condition. In short, none of the visible components in the engine bay have had their screws touched—everything remains in its original factory state. The battery charge level is also normal, consistent with the condition of a new vehicle.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/065c56b5-61ac-44d0-9f02-f36f26a6c46f.png">As for the interior, the shattered front windshield fell and covered the dashboard, so some areas are not visible. However, the dashboard is definitely scratched, though it s not a major issue. These damages can be repaired well and restored to a condition where they are unnoticeable.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/e730a969-3d09-4ee1-9b63-67b1562f2bcd.png">All the electrical functions inside, including the HUD, are fully operational without any issues.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/2bc0e0ae-0b55-4eca-9bb9-38e470b2d998.png">Next is checking for water damage. The OBD port is intact, and after removing the sill trim panel, the carpet appears very white without any signs of water-induced yellowing. Additionally, the wiring harness connectors are clean, ruling out any suspicion of water damage to the interior.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/07ee232c-e0ba-4073-acb5-f198209bd5a0.png">After raising the chassis and removing the protective panel, it can be seen that this range-extender engine and the single-speed transmission of the electric vehicle show no signs of oil leakage or seepage, and not a single screw has been touched. Why am I describing this in such detail? Because I’m afraid someone might ask: Where does the engine in a new energy vehicle come from? Where does the transmission come from? Some people genuinely don’t think the range extender is an engine! And others are unaware that electric cars also have a single-speed transmission!Finally, inspect all the chassis suspension components of the entire vehicle, and you can see that everything is in good condition, with no signs of scraping or bottoming out on the chassis.After this round of inspection, it s confirmed that the issues with this damaged transport vehicle are a shattered front windshield and a deformed A-pillar. What do you all think would be a fair price for this car now? Later, I asked the customer, the older brother, how much the car cost, but he didn t give specifics. He only mentioned it was several tens of thousands cheaper than the price of a new car, which still seems like a good deal.

It became a damaged car even before getting licensed! This AITO M9 is discounted by tens of thousands—should you buy a transport-damaged vehicle?

<h1>Nezha serves up a solid dish: a 90,000-class large 5-seater pure electric SUV with 163 horsepower and a 501km range, packing serious punch for family use.</h1><img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/60d6f8f1-9ba0-411a-8003-f2631755c35e.png">For family vehicles, ample space is essential. If you also desire better cargo capacity and lower operating costs, then a large five-seater pure electric SUV would be an ideal choice. Take the 2025 Neta X, for example—it’s a fantastic option. Positioned as a 90,000-class large five-seater pure electric SUV with a 500-kilometer range, it offers four available models with a price range of 89,800 to 124,800 yuan. But how does it actually perform for family use? In this article, we’ll take a closer look.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/3ed547a2-d753-4ece-80f3-8c55085b8ea7.png">In terms of appearance, the Nezha X (see news) adopts the latest family design language, featuring a closed front fascia that is rounded and full. It is equipped with the currently popular split-type headlight clusters, with L-shaped daytime running lights on top and integrated LED high/low beam units on both sides below, accented by L-shaped chrome trim for a more refined look. Standard features include automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment, and delayed shut-off, providing excellent daily illumination. The bottom retains a blackened air intake design, further enhancing the front fascia s visual impact.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/bcd00e6f-b3f1-470d-a4cb-7bf5693a4d58.png">The vehicle measures 4,619mm in length, 1,860mm in width, and 1,628mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,770mm, positioning it as a compact SUV. The side profile features sleek and dynamic lines, highlighted by a rising beltline and a forward-leaning stance that enhances the sense of motion. Blackened accents on the window trim, wheel arches, side skirts, and alloy wheels further emphasize its sporty appeal.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/13e078d2-1ff6-43ef-9c6e-0628580d9424.png">The rear adopts a design with a narrower top and wider bottom, lowering the visual center of gravity for a more solid and full visual effect. Additionally, the sculpted surface lines create a rich sense of layering, complemented by a high-mounted spoiler, smoked full-width taillights, and blackened trim elements at the base, enhancing a poised and sophisticated presence.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/8d7c1728-67f2-442e-83bd-fca40d15a4f2.jpg">Upon entering the vehicle, the interior design presents a minimalist yet sophisticated aesthetic. The dashboard features a stepped layout, creating a strong sense of layering. It is equipped with a three-spoke flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel wrapped in leather, offering a refined tactile experience. Ahead of the steering wheel sits an 8.9-inch full LCD instrument panel, while the center console boasts a 10.1-inch or 15.6-inch floating touchscreen. Higher trim models are further enhanced with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P chip, ensuring smoother and more responsive infotainment system performance. Standard features include Bluetooth calling, vehicle connectivity, 4G network, voice recognition, and continuous voice commands, elevating the user s smart driving experience. Additionally, higher trims offer conveniences like 15W wireless phone charging, a built-in dashcam, and a 12V power outlet for added daily practicality.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/413ea3dd-3130-473c-afae-184a52dd7602.png">In terms of driver assistance, the top-tier model offers Level 2 autonomous driving support, featuring a comprehensive active safety warning system, automatic emergency braking, lane change assist, lane centering assist, driver fatigue monitoring, and road traffic sign recognition. It is further equipped with front and rear parking sensors, full-speed adaptive cruise control, automatic parking, and reverse tracking assist, making it easier for users to handle complex parking scenarios. Additionally, the inclusion of six airbags provides all-round safety protection for both drivers and passengers.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/9cb85c2c-79be-4d5f-878b-a3b9e4b95095.png">The interior features a conventional 2+3 five-seat layout, with all models equipped with faux leather seats. Higher trim levels offer power adjustment and heating functions for the front seats, while the top trim includes a driver s seat memory feature. Thanks to its class-leading 2,770mm wheelbase, the car boasts an exceptionally high interior space utilization rate, delivering a spacious driving and riding experience. The author, who is 176cm tall, adjusted the driver s seat to a comfortable position and found approximately one and a half fists of headroom. Moving to the rear seats, headroom reduced to slightly over one fist, while legroom reached about two and a half fists—more than sufficient for daily family use. Additionally, the top trim comes with an openable panoramic sunroof, enhancing natural light and a sense of openness in the cabin, ensuring passengers don’t feel cramped even during long rides.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/826e06f9-9d9d-413e-93a8-de9be8cec900.png">In terms of performance, the 2025 Neta X (user-rated) is equipped with a front-mounted single motor delivering 163 horsepower. Power is transmitted through a fixed gear ratio transmission, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 9.5 seconds. This makes driving the 1,670 kg compact SUV effortless, with responsive acceleration across all speed ranges, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.

<h1>A $280,000 car costs $200,000 to repair after hitting a wall corner! What s so great about the trouble-causing integrated casting?</h1><img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/e05c5391-e866-47f8-b15c-0cfe1162b9c7.png">In the past year or two, domestic new energy vehicle technology has continued to advance, while product prices have also been steadily declining. The completeness of the supply chain and intense competition are undoubtedly the main reasons. Additionally, automakers are fiercely competing in manufacturing processes, particularly in the area of integrated die-casting technology. Companies like Tesla and Xiaomi have already adopted this technology. However, since Tesla first implemented integrated die-casting in the Model Y, many consumers have yet to fully grasp the advantages of this innovation. On the contrary, some car owners have quickly learned its downsides the hard way!<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/e9046891-0298-4cb5-b929-bdb11423676f.png">I wonder if you still remember a highly representative single-vehicle accident that went viral online a year or two ago. A Tesla Model Y owner was parking in a residential area when, possibly due to distraction or limited driving skills, the car’s rear end collided directly with the 90-degree corner of a building during reversing. The impact was visibly severe—the left side of the vehicle suffered extensive damage, and the rear wheel nearly ended up pressed flat against the wall.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/8ae648be-dc59-43fd-91a6-a8b5ffd9cd91.png">Of course, it s normal for any car or driver to be involved in an accident. What drew attention at the time was that Tesla s after-sales service quoted a repair cost of 200,000 yuan for this accident vehicle. According to the owner, the car itself was only worth 280,000 yuan—a 280,000-yuan car requiring 200,000 yuan in major repairs was simply outrageous! The reason for such a high repair quote was that the integrated die-cast component had suffered relatively severe damage, leading to the exorbitant repair costs.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/b3232b63-7c00-43b9-b88c-f004e05382bf.png">So, once an accident occurs, the repair costs for vehicles with integrated die-casting are so high, and users don’t even perceive any advanced benefits during daily driving. Why are car manufacturers still pushing so hard for integrated die-casting?<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/e4c32886-77b7-4d5d-bf3d-933275c0ec41.png">The first consideration is cost. For car manufacturers, simpler structures lead to greater cost savings. Why? Because more components require additional processes and procedures. Whether it s monitoring workflows or certain steps needing manual intervention, an increase in parts inevitably means higher labor costs.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/70185294-2893-4cd8-a131-db3c8b21d6c1.png">However, integrated die-casting technology is different. Simply put, many related components are directly cast together in one piece, eliminating the need for re-welding or screw connections, which significantly reduces the number of parts. As a result, costs are greatly reduced. For manufacturers, overall costs are lowered, making it more advantageous to reduce prices and wage a price war more effectively!Another point is product consistency. As mentioned earlier, the more components there are, the more connection points there will be. With more connectors, the risks of loosening, abnormal noises, and even mechanical fatigue become greater—this should be understandable to everyone!For integrated die-casting technology, the core material used is higher-strength aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy is die-cast into a small number of components, which not only significantly reduces the number of connectors but also enhances the strength of these large parts. As a result, integrated die-cast components exhibit greater overall consistency and a lower probability of minor issues, leading to improved vehicle performance, smoother operation, and greater reliability.So, from the manufacturer s perspective, although the price of aluminum alloy material itself is higher than that of steel, and the cost of die-casting machines is also substantial, from the standpoint of decreasing costs, integrated die-casting technology can improve the vehicle s consistency in performance while also reducing the per-unit cost. Essentially, for consumers, purchasing a vehicle equipped with integrated die-casting technology is still quite cost-effective.Therefore, while extreme incidents like the previous Tesla Model Y accident do incur higher repair costs, such cases are exceptions. In the vast majority of situations, users still benefit from the integrated casting technology.

At the front center of the dashboard, it also includes an AI voice assistant called Xiao Yi, resembling a small robot. Powered by the Pangu AI model, it assists passengers with tasks like route planning and travel itinerary creation. Combined with the HarmonyOS cockpit based on Huawei’s Ark Engine, the Zhiji S7’s infotainment system has seen a significant upgrade in smoothness.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/7c9f81f6-1082-4388-884a-6104e5d4c321.jpg">On the intelligent driving front, the Zhijie S7 is equipped with the HUAWEI ADS Basic Edition, achieving a vision-based autonomous driving solution without relying on lidar. Beyond fundamental features like automatic ramp entry/exit and lane-changing assistance, the model also offers certain autonomous lane-switching and obstacle-avoidance capabilities, making driving easier for beginners. Additionally, the Zhijie S7 can activate its NCA navigation function on highways and elevated roads, automatically avoiding rows of traffic cones and construction zones to ensure driving safety. In terms of passive safety, the Zhijie S7 uses aluminum alloy for 85.4% of its body structure, complemented by aluminum side sills and a one-piece hot-formed steel door ring. Combined with its cage-style body structure, it maximizes frame rigidity and minimizes deformation during rollover scenarios.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/def01683-de54-4a9d-9e34-a4a97d934444.png">The 2025 Zhiji S7 introduces four new exterior color options—Phantom Purple, Sunny Blue, Metropolis Red, and Ripple Green—offering young users a diverse range of choices. The front fascia of the car features an All-in-One integrated design, where the luminous star track, triangular headlights, and aerodynamic deflectors are skillfully combined, resembling the wings of a roc in flight. This distinctive styling enhances the brand s identity, while the three-in-one design also accentuates the grandeur of the Zhiji S7. Additionally, the integrated lighting unit design expands the illumination angle, further reducing blind spots during turns, ensuring driving safety by improving visibility for the driver.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/5cd6c411-1d2b-4b68-bcc0-4da9793bf459.png">From the side profile, the Zhijie S7 boasts rounded and full rear waistlines, while the sleek, flowing roofline effectively counterbalances any sense of bulkiness, highlighting the coupe s distinctive sporty character. The car features slightly flared wheel arches at both the front and rear, complemented by subtly recessed door panels, enhancing its muscular appeal and further accentuating its dynamic aesthetics. Additionally, the vehicle adopts the popular full-width light bar design, with C -shaped hooks at each end and a central English logo, reinforcing brand recognition.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/1b5c6620-c5bb-4bfc-9e3f-4cedbb8f7976.png">The dimensions of the Zhijie S7 are 4971mm in length, 1963mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2950mm. Compared to the similarly priced mid-size Model 3 2023 Rear-Wheel Drive, the Zhijie S7 offers a more pronounced advantage in terms of space. However, there s no need to worry about difficulty handling a larger vehicle—the car is equipped with a front virtual ball-joint double-wishbone suspension and a rear five-link independent suspension, achieving a 50:50 weight distribution for smooth handling. Additionally, the Zhijie S7 boasts a minimum turning radius of just 5.7 meters, making it even more agile than the Model 3 (with a minimum turning radius of 5.8 meters), which is positioned as a B-segment car. This is undoubtedly a plus for a C-segment vehicle.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/51a7e00c-f46b-4796-9f39-f64d3dcefd04.png">The Zhijie S7 is equipped with the HUAWEI DriveONE 800V silicon carbide gold power platform, which doubles the charging efficiency compared to the 400V fast-charging platform used in the Model 3. With just a 5-minute charge, it can add 215 km of range. Additionally, the Zhijie S7 delivers more dynamic performance, featuring an electric drive system with a maximum speed of 22,000 rpm and a peak power of 215 kW. Even the base model achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.4 seconds, laying the foundation for an exhilarating driving experience. Furthermore, the Zhijie S7 comes with an 82kWh ternary lithium battery from CALB, offering a CLTC pure electric range of up to 705 km, making it ideal for long-distance trips, outings, or business travel.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/e912f10c-f766-4e3c-b6cb-2c704fd251fe.png">To fully leverage its performance characteristics, the ZhiJie S7 also offers a dedicated Sport+ driving mode. The vehicle benefits from the joint tuning efforts of Huawei s German research team and Chery, delivering a driving experience reminiscent of German sedans—quick and stable around corners, fast yet quiet acceleration, all while balancing comfort and handling. Additionally, thanks to its rear-wheel-drive design, the ZhiJie S7 can effortlessly execute launch starts without losing power in the mid-to-late stages, allowing passengers to continuously feel a strong sense of acceleration. This feature is sure to appeal to young drivers who seek an engaging driving experience.<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/b45891ad-1c20-4547-aa76-90fd452597d1.png">The 2025 Zhijie S7 Pro Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range Edition, as an entry-level model, comes equipped with 800V fast charging, the HarmonyOS cockpit, and the advanced HUWWEI ADS intelligent driving system. It can be said that even the base model is fully loaded. Considering its guide price of 229,800 yuan, I believe it offers great value for money. Moreover, the Zhijie S7 achieves a better balance between powerful performance and smooth handling through meticulous tuning. This undoubtedly challenges both the intelligence that new energy vehicles emphasize and the handling that traditional fuel-powered cars take pride in. So, fellow car enthusiasts, what are your thoughts on this king of competition ?

2025 Neta X Compact SUV: Performance, Range, and Comfort Analysis

<h1>BYD s real trump card! Over 4.8 meters in length, runs 2,100 km on a full tank, and looks even sleeker than the Qin L.</h1>
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/fb8a13c0-4aea-4b3a-b984-d42ea377d06b.png">
 We know that most of BYD s cars focus on cost-effectiveness. Apart from the well-known Qin Plus DM-i priced at 79,800 yuan, other models like the Yuan Plus, Song Plus, Song L, and Destroyer 05 are also top choices for many families. Of course, BYD has also made strides in the mid-to-high-end segment, with models like the Tang and Han enjoying strong popularity and reputation, while the million-yuan luxury car, the Yangwang U8, is particularly favored by the affluent. Thus, BYD now covers the entire price spectrum, with a product lineup ranging from budget cars priced at tens of thousands to luxury off-road vehicles worth millions. For ordinary consumers, buying a car naturally prioritizes cost-effectiveness, especially in the new energy segment. A budget of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan is more than sufficient for daily commuting. That’s why today, we’re discussing BYD’s true ace—a car with a length exceeding 4.8 meters, capable of traveling 2,100 kilometers on a single tank of fuel, and even more stylish than the Qin L. This car is the BYD Seal 06 DM-i, with a guide price of 99,800 to 139,800 yuan. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/ba653f9f-333d-4b1d-b849-43e86de05ce4.png">
 First of all, we know that the Seal 06 and the Qin L are essentially not very different—one comes from the Dynasty Network, while the other is from the Ocean Network. The Seal 06 overall appears more sporty and individual, aligning better with the aesthetic preferences of younger people, which is evident from its exterior design. The front face adopts the Ocean Network s family design language, featuring a rounded and full hood with striking headlight clusters, giving the front end a distinct resemblance to the marine creature, the seal. Of course, for slightly older consumers, the Qin L might be the preferred choice due to its more conventional styling. The side profile is equally dynamic, with semi-concealed door handles that, in my opinion, strike the most reasonable balance—fully concealed ones can be less convenient to use, while traditional ones tend to look somewhat outdated. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/48e88a2a-aea3-437b-a466-728f738df37d.png">
 Due to its coupe-style design, the car features a sleek, fastback rear silhouette that looks very dynamic, complemented by distinctive wheels that match the overall style. However, the wheel sizes are slightly on the smaller side—only the top trim gets 18-inch wheels, the entry-level version has 16-inch wheels, and the rest come with 17-inch wheels. If 18-inch wheels were standard across the lineup, it would further elevate the car s premium feel. The rear is equipped with a full-width LED light bar, with BYD s lettered logo positioned above it. Compared to the front, the rear design is somewhat understated, lacking standout elements. Of course, this is likely a deliberate choice given the car s positioning as a family vehicle, where overly flashy designs aren t really necessary. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/ec7759c5-a8e5-4e94-a83a-a3e1cd87e020.png">
 As a mid-size sedan, the Seal 06 DM-i doesn t have a significant size advantage within its class, with a length of only 4,830 mm. However, it boasts a width of 1,875 mm and a wheelbase of 2,790 mm. This clearly positions it as a competitor in a niche market—slightly smaller than traditional mid-size sedans in terms of space, but considerably more spacious than compact cars one segment below, especially in the rear seats. In real-world testing, a passenger who is 1.78 meters tall has about three fingers worth of headroom and ample legroom, measuring approximately two fists and two fingers. Even when fully loaded, as long as the passengers weight isn t excessive, comfort remains uncompromised. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/432f575f-8ddb-4549-827b-ff7613ece39d.png">
 However, it s a bit of a letdown that the entry-level models only feature manual seat adjustments. The two mid-range variants offer power adjustment solely for the driver s seat, and only the two higher-end models provide power adjustment for both the driver and front passenger seats—though this is understandable given the price point. Additionally, the car boasts a 550L trunk capacity, and the rear seats can be folded down in a split configuration, ensuring relatively high overall space utilization. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/4cd03e9f-b61c-4954-9e24-40e5f220b13e.png">
 As for the interior, the Seal 06 DM-i doesn’t offer many surprises either. The only standout feature is the steering wheel design, which resembles the tail fin of a marine creature, giving it a very distinctive and sporty look. The symmetrical dashboard follows a rather conventional layout. The infotainment screen comes in three sizes: the entry-level model has a modest 10.1-inch display, the top-tier version boasts a 15.6-inch screen, while other trims feature a 12.8-inch display. Fortunately, an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument cluster is standard across all variants. Additionally, the compact and sleek electronic gear shifter adds a touch of technological sophistication to the cabin. The sport-style seats provide decent comfort, with bolstering and support befitting this segment. Beyond these elements, the interior of the Seal 06 DM-i indeed lacks notable highlights. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/185e7e85-a533-4712-974e-7bb69e3a2df4.png">
 As a plug-in hybrid model, the Seal 06 DM-i s powertrain is a major advantage. The car is primarily equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 101 hp and a peak torque of 126 Nm. It comes with a front-mounted single motor, offering two power options: total motor horsepower of 163 hp and 218 hp, with 0-100 km/h acceleration times of 7.9 seconds and 7.5 seconds, respectively. Its performance holds a certain advantage among models in the 100,000-yuan price range. Of course, what matters even more is its range and fuel efficiency. The car offers two battery capacities: 10.08 kWh and 15.87 kWh, providing pure electric ranges of 80 km and 120 km, respectively. The WLTC combined fuel consumption is 1.36 L/100 km and 1.1 L/100 km, while the fuel consumption under depleted battery conditions is 3.8 L/100 km and 3.98 L/100 km. 
<img src="https://api.kiojin.com/files/bbf86c43-9911-4fd3-b8d9-4bb750185252.png">
 It s worth mentioning that the BYD Seal 06 DM-i boasts a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters, allowing for a combined range of up to 2,100 kilometers when fully fueled and charged—enough for several long-distance round trips. Whether used in urban areas or on highways, range anxiety is virtually non-existent. So, what are your thoughts on the Seal 06 DM-i?
