　　[Model PK] There is no doubt that it will be the overlord in the middle and high-end business market from the past to the present and even for a long time to come. Although the newly redesigned GL8 was criticized by many people for its "bloated shape", "ugly rear" and "smaller third row space" at the beginning of its listing, it did not affect its sales. When few competitors can shake the market position of Buick GL8, it is still the first choice for business reception vehicles such as major enterprises and institutions, hotels and leasing companies.

　　Although this kind of competitors have been involved in the competition in the commercial MPV market before, the average monthly sales volume in the past six months is less than 400 units, which makes it difficult to challenge Buick GL8 (the average monthly sales volume is about 5,000 units). However, the listing on June 7th showed us a new showstopper with extraordinary strength. Ailishen is the second MPV model that the brand entered China, and the first MPV launched by Honda. It is different from Yishang IKEA in style, with larger size and more commercial positioning. As a latecomer, it aims at Buick GL8.

　　Today, the models we choose to compare are: Buick GL8 2.4L displacement top model, with a market price of 328,000 yuan; Ailishen’s top model, the market price is 319,800 yuan; The price difference between the two models is 8200 yuan, and the price is relatively close, so there is a tendency to compete.

■ introduction to the history of two cars

　　Before starting the comparison, let me briefly introduce the history of the next two models. Buick GL8 officially entered China in 1999. As the first domestic medium and high-end MPV model, it successfully started the slogan of "business class on land" and almost formed a market monopoly. Although there are also MPV models on the market at the same time, such as:, and Honda Odyssey, the sales volume can’t compete with Buick GL8. After that, Buick GL8 made several changes, and successively launched GL8 Luxun, GL8 luxury commercial vehicles and other models, with the price range covering from 200,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan, further consolidating its market position.

　　Let’s look at Honda Ailishen, a model that Chinese people are not familiar with. It first appeared in 2003, and won the recognition of overseas markets at that time with its advanced design and excellent comfort. In Japan, Ailishen’s target competitors are Toyota and these two models. From the product positioning point of view, it is higher than Buick GL8. Today, Ailishen, launched by Dongfeng Honda in China, belongs to the second generation of products. It was first launched overseas in 2006 and has been six years old. From the year point of view, Ailishen is not young, but actually from the design level of all aspects of the product, six-year-old Ailishen is still a product with great sense and full of humanized design. Compared with Buick GL8, its competitiveness is not bad at all.

■ Appearance: Buick GL8 is larger.

　　From the body size data, Buick GL8 is much bigger than Ailishen, especially the length of the car. The length of Buick GL8 is 5256mm, that of Ailishen is 4935mm, and the difference between the two cars is 321mm；; Buick GL8 is also 188mm longer than Eric. In terms of car width and car height, there is not much difference between them. Buick GL8 is also 33mm wider than Ailishen, and Ailishen is 5mm higher than Buick GL8.

　　Although from the data, Buick GL8 is a full circle bigger than Eric Shen, but the actual visual effect is not quite the same as the data. Because Ailishen’s appearance uses a lot of straight lines, it gives people the feeling of being angular. When the two cars stop together, Ailishen looks even bigger.

　　The air intake grille and headlights of Buick GL8 and Ailishen are very large, and the air intake grille of Buick GL8 adopts the family classic straight waterfall design, which is somewhat similar in shape. Ailishen, on the other hand, created a large-area shield grille with three thick chrome trim strips, which made the visual effect more domineering, but compared with Buick GL8, it had more atmosphere and less vitality.

　　Both cars are equipped with headlight cleaning and other functions. The difference is that Buick GL8 uses a low beam integrated xenon lamp, while Ailishen only has a low beam xenon lamp, and the high beam still uses ordinary halogen bulbs. In contrast, the performance of Buick GL8 is more kind. As for the headlight cleaning function, both cars have it.

　　On the side of the car body, the length advantage of Buick GL8 is obvious, and the design styles of the two cars are also very different. Buick GL8 is decorated with a large number of chrome trim strips, and a "fold" is designed at the lower edge of the sliding door window. The third row of windows is arc-shaped and equipped with hidden slide rails. The side shape of Buick GL8 is very strong.

　　In contrast, the shape of Ailishen’s car side is relatively dull, without chrome trim and hidden slide rail design. The straight roof and regular side windows look like a "van", and the only highlight may be the black and unique door handle.

　　Of course, Ailishen also has its own magic weapon-the whole system comes standard with double electric side sliding doors. This configuration is both practical and classy, which is much more than fancy modeling! The same price Buick GL8 does not have this configuration. (Buick GL8 needs to buy a 3.0L model to have an electric side sliding door, starting at 368,000 yuan)

　　In the rear modeling, Buick GL8 has richer lines, while Ailishen is square. The taillights of both cars use light sources, among which Ailishen’s taillights have a larger area, but the shape is not bright. The willow taillight of Buick GL8 was controversial at the beginning of its launch, but with the increase of the visibility of the car on the road, everyone gradually began to get used to its new shape. On the whole, the rear of Buick GL8 is still more energetic than Ailishen.

　　The wheels of the two cars are the same size, both of which are 17-inch and 10-spoke styles. However, Ailishen’s wheel hub adopts a two-color design, which is more chic. As for tires, Buick GL8 adopts tires, the model is MA656 225/60R17, and the market price is about 700 yuan. Ailishen uses tires, the model of which is SP SPORT 270 215/60R17. The specifications are relatively unpopular, and the market price is about 1000 yuan. (Tire price, refer to the quotation from Shanghai)

Appearance summary:

　　The body size of Buick GL8 is larger, and the overall design is more fashionable, especially the front face and car side shape are more dynamic than Ailishen. On the other hand, Ailishen’s appearance is full of atmosphere and lack of bright spots. The straight lines and the angular design look like a standard "van". Except for the shiny front air intake grille, it is difficult to leave a deep impression on other places. However, Ailishen’s standard double electric side sliding doors are very sincere. As for the larger body size of Buick GL8 than that of Alekson, what impact will it bring to the interior space? Please look at page three. (Click to enter)

　　This year, China’s new energy vehicle market is particularly active, and new car listing and price reduction competition are staged simultaneously. Two days ago, AION Y Plus Xingyao went public, which brought the price of AION Y Plus to less than 100,000 yuan. On March 5 th, Ai ‘an enlarged the move again, and the pure electricity price maker AION S MAX Xinghan officially dropped 23,000 yuan, and the price was adjusted to 179,900 yuan.

　　As a result, this "No.1 pure electric family car" with 610km long battery life, 300km charging in 30 minutes, and intelligent driving functions such as L2 automatic driving and remote parking, based on product and price advantages, shows the incomparable market competitiveness of its class. This time, the official reduction actually gave consumers a value courtesy of up to 50,000 yuan. AION S MAX Xingyao came to lower the price and improve the quality-price ratio, and the official reduction price dropped by 23,000 yuan. Secondly, compared with competing products at the same level, the extra product value is 10,000 yuan for smart driving, 5,000 yuan for buying a car and sending a charging pile, 6,000 yuan for vehicle financial policy, and 6,000 yuan for replacement subsidy, so the total product value is 27,000 yuan more than competing products, which is equivalent to a value subsidy of 50,000 yuan for users before and after conversion. According to industry insiders, pure electric giant Ai ‘an will join hands with BYD to accelerate the end of the era of fuel vehicles.

　　The fatal blow of Ai ‘an teamed up with BYD to make fuel despair.

　　According to the data released by the passenger car market information association, the domestic retail penetration rate of new energy vehicles in January this year was 32.8%, up 7.2% year-on-year, and the retail sales volume of new energy vehicles in the market was 668,000, up 101.8% year-on-year. Industry organizations predict that the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China will reach 13 million in 2024, and the penetration rate is expected to increase to 40%. On the other hand, in recent years, the sales volume of fuel vehicles has continued to decline, and some joint venture brands have suddenly withdrawn from the market. Data show that in January this year, the national retail sales of conventional fuel passenger cars (excluding new energy vehicles) reached 960,000, down 44% year-on-year, and the downward trend for three years continued. In contrast, the development momentum of new energy vehicles has remained good.

　　In addition to the macro-level industry analysis, the performance of major new energy vehicle companies also confirmed this trend. Just after the Spring Festival, the price reduction represented by new energy automobile giants such as Ai ‘an and BYD has begun. First, BYD started with the glory of Qin PLUS, a hybrid model, and started the price reduction marketing. Then, Ai ‘an made a strong innovation, and announced that AION S MAX Xinghan official had dropped by 23,000 yuan. On the premise of ensuring quality and service, it was able to gain strength and broke the long-standing market pattern of fuel vehicles of the same class with a guiding price of 179,900 yuan. Ai ‘an’s strong participation in the team of pure electric vehicles will become the last straw for new energy to crush fuel.

　　The advantage of "pure electricity" in playing combination boxing is more obvious.

　　From oil to electricity, many car companies have experienced a road of "crossing the river by feeling the stones". Looking at the head brands of new energy auto markets such as BYD and Ai ‘an, they now have their own models and service characteristics.

　　In recent years, BYD mainly relies on plug-in hybrid, plus the low-end version of DM-i, guarding the new energy automobile market below 150,000. Aian focuses on intelligent manufacturing of pure electric vehicles, integrates cutting-edge technologies and car demand, and has successively launched a number of models such as AION S MAX, AION Y Plus, AION V Plus, etc., to meet the car scenes of different segments of people and become the first choice for more families to buy cars. On the basis of maintaining the advantages of products, AION S MAX Xinghan further integrates resources, optimizes prices and improves services, making the advantages of "pure electricity" more obvious.

　　In terms of cruising range, Ai ‘an took the lead in popularizing "pure electric long battery life", breaking the shackles of fuel vehicles on new energy battery life, and 610km battery life has become the normal state of pure electric vehicles. In addition to building cars, Ai ‘an has built a "fast, wide and near" power supply system. The brand energy station has now covered 338 cities across the country, with nearly 1.6 million charging piles, creating an energy supply circle of 5 kilometers in the urban area and 10 kilometers in the main road, so that the owners of Ai ‘an can find charging piles within 10 minutes, and the energy supply guarantee is more perfect. In terms of charging speed, in January this year, Ai ‘an launched a new OTA online upgrade, which increased the charging speed by 28%. 300km in 30 minutes, full battery life, ready to go. Long battery life and quick replenishment can completely solve the mileage anxiety of consumers, and win a box of oil at full power.

　　In the field of intelligent driving, Ai ‘an has also demonstrated its leading technical strength, which is not only comprehensive in use scenarios, but also mature and reliable in technology. It is also one of the first brands in China to start L3 application and lay out intelligent driving. In the future, Ai ‘an will continue to vigorously promote the leading intelligent driving technology in all models, accelerate the landing and popularization of cutting-edge intelligent driving technologies such as L3 and urban NDA, and strive to achieve L4 intelligent driving in 2025. Just as Apple eliminated traditional mobile phones, pure electricity is the best carrier for smart cars in the future, and people who are used to pure electric driving will no longer adapt to backward fuel vehicles.

　　It is not difficult to find that the new energy vehicles represented by Ai ‘an, after solving the endurance anxiety, energy-replenishing infrastructure and charging speed, continue to deepen the intelligent driving technology, and the consumer’s car experience continues to improve. Of course, the diversification measures of Ai ‘an have contributed to the market performance worthy of recognition. In 2023, the cumulative sales volume of Ai ‘an exceeded 480,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 77%. In this context, Ai ‘an has become the fastest pure electric brand and new energy brand in the world, and also the fastest automobile brand in the world, and its comprehensive strength is obvious to all.

　　Whether it is BYD’s main hybrid or pure electricity led by Ai ‘an, China’s new energy automobile market has formed a "double-male pattern", and the trend of the two new energy brands to accelerate fuel conversion will continue to accelerate, which will also drive the upgrading of products and services in the entire automobile industry and contribute more to the popularization and application of new energy vehicles.

　　In the long-awaited event, on May 17th, Huang Xingrui, an all-round music genius, devoted himself to creating a brand-new album "Dream of Spring without Trace". This album, with its diverse music types and innovative music styles, once again proves his extraordinary talent and innovative potential in the music industry.

　　Focus on singing: highlight musical talent

　　As a new independent singer after 00, Huang Xingrui began to dabble in song creation at the age of 17. With his fresh creative ideas and unique musical talent, he won the favor of many hit dramas such as Our Days and Elite Lawyers, and wrote songs and soundtracks for many hit TV dramas in China. Among them, in Elite Lawyer, he monopolized You Just Need to Feel, Thinking of You, How are you doing, and Late Tender.
Five songs, such as Take Good Care, and four songs, such as Songs of the Past, Snowflakes, Weirdness and Imitation, were also created in A Set of Our Days broadcast by CCTV. His unparalleled musical talent has been recognized and affirmed by the public.

　　The popular list of music platforms such as Netease Cloud shows that since 2017, 42 songs created by Huang Xingrui have entered the official list for 965 times, and songs such as "Who am I?" and "Drift" have continuously entered the soaring list, potential list and recommendation list. In order to better focus on his own music creation, Huang Xingrui created his own personal music studio-Threshold Space, aiming at adhering to his own original music style and pioneering creative concept: under the evolution of music, art and art forms,
Produce endless changes and create unlimited possibilities. Under the constant creative transformation, we can export infinite new concepts and excellent music works.

　　Be brave in innovation: try multiple styles

　　The experience of transnational and cross-cultural life and study has enabled Huang Xingrui to get in touch with different cultures and circles, which has also provided diverse inspiration and motivation for his music creation. Huang Xingrui never easily defines his own music style. In his view, music has unlimited possibilities and creativity.

　　The new album "A Dream of Spring Without a Trace", which was launched on May 17th, is a completely new attempt with a completely different musical style. The name of the album was inspired by an ancient phrase by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, "People are like Qiu Hong, and things are like spring dreams." The meaning of the poem is: people are like wild geese in autumn, and traces can be found when they come and go; But the past is like a big dream in spring, without even a trace left. The album depicts the transition of people’s emotions through 13 songs covering different music types such as Chinese style, jazz and electronics. Through the combination of surrounding synthesizer sound design and acoustic instruments, this paper tries to present this fleeting dream of youth. Among them, the main song "Falling Fish and Wild Goose" expresses the beauty of meeting with a feeling of sinking into the water in slow motion and depicts the moment when the two meet again.

　　Stick to your dream: don’t forget the initial heart of music

　　"No matter in which era, as long as your things are good, they will be recognized, and this will never change."

　　Huang Xingrui insists on the originality and independence of music, always keeps his works in his own hands, and gradually becomes a rare creative singer in Chinese music. He believes that what is left is really good music after big waves wash sand. This is exactly the same as his good friend Jackson Wang’s insistence on music: music carries life experiences.

　　On the road of music, Huang Xingrui actively expanded his exploration of the possibility of music and innovatively mixed the oriental charm with the western rhythm. Through arrangement and mixing, each song containing different elements and styles is treated into a unified texture, which brings simple and beautiful music enjoyment to the audience. He, a rising post-00 star in Ran Ran, is exploring a more fantastic and magnificent music world with his audience.
