Huawei Mate 70 series starts pre-sale, and there are long queues in many stores across the country

On November 18, Huawei Mate 70 series mobile phones officially launched pre-sale, launching four models of Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro + and Mate 70 RS Extraordinary Master, which will be officially released on November 26.

Judging from the market reaction after the opening of the pre-sale, the Mate 70 series has become the most talked-about flagship new machine this year. At 14 pm today, the interface news reporter saw in the Huawei global flagship store in Wangfujing, Beijing, that consumers waiting for reservations outside the store had formed a long queue. The on-site staff said that since the pre-sale started at 12:08, more than 400 people have been lined up.

Several consumers who queued at the scene told Interface News that they all came to the store to queue up as soon as they saw the pre-sale news in the morning. In addition, there are long-awaited scalpers and throngs of people queuing outside the store.

At a number of Huawei stores such as Shenzhen Vientiane Tiandi, people waiting for reservations are also lined up outside the store. Staff said that currently only 0 yuan can register the purchase intention, and each person is limited to one registration, and there is no guarantee of stock, but those who book earlier have the opportunity to get the actual machine earlier.

The online booking situation is also quite hot. As of press time, in the official Huawei mall, the number of reservations for the Mate 70 series has exceeded 1.13 million. The online booking rules are the same as offline, with zero threshold reservations, but there is no guarantee of stock.

According to the official materials, the Mate 70 series continues the symmetrical large circular camera module design of previous generations, while the RS Extraordinary Master Edition continues to use the octagonal design. At present, Huawei has not announced the specific performance parameters of the new machine, but it has been reported that the series will use the side fingerprint scheme.

Another upgrade of the Mate 70 series is to be equipped with the Pure Blood Hongmeng system (HarmonyOS NEXT). However, since the Pure Blood Hongmeng ecosystem is still being improved, Huawei is likely to adopt a dual system mode, which is convenient for users to switch at any time.

Compared with the tighter production capacity of the Mate 60 series, the Mate 70 series has increased a lot. Interface News previously learned from the supply chain that the full life cycle stocking of the Mate 70 series is expected to be about 15 million units, which is about 20% higher than that of the Mate 60 series. According to the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, the planned output of this series of parts has increased by about 50% compared with the same period of the Mate 60.

In the context of the general downturn in the smartphone market, Huawei remains optimistic about the sales of the new phone, and dealers are also waiting for this model to re-create a wealth myth like the Mate 60.

Many dealers interviewed believe that the chip and the price will be the two important factors affecting the sales of the Mate 70 series. The starting price of the Mate 60 series is 5,499 yuan, and whether the Mate 70 series will increase the price on the basis of the general price increase of domestic mobile phones this year will also be the main focus of the 26th conference.

Hamas will release the first Israeli hostages

  China news agency, Beijing, November 24-Comprehensive news: As a mediator, the Qatari Foreign Ministry announced on the 23rd that the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) will release the first batch of Israeli hostages at 16: 00 local time on the 24th.

  According to Al Jazeera, a spokesman for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 23rd that a ceasefire will start in Gaza at 7: 00 on the 24th. At 16: 00 on the same day, Hamas will release the first batch of Israeli hostages, including 13 women and children.

  According to the Israel Times, the Israeli Prime Minister’s office confirmed the news and said that Israel has received a preliminary list of hostages expected to be released.

  The Kasang Brigade, an armed faction affiliated to Hamas, also said that a ceasefire will start in the Gaza on the morning of 24th for four days, and a total of 50 Israeli hostages will be released. In exchange, for every Israeli hostage released by Hamas, Israel will release three Palestinian prisoners, totaling 150.

  According to Reuters news, the Egyptian side said that during the ceasefire period, 200 aid trucks and 4 fuel trucks will enter the Gaza through the Rafah port every day.

  Israeli Defense Minister said on the evening of 23rd that once the temporary cease-fire with Hamas ends, the Israeli army will resume military operations, which will last for at least two months.

  The Israel Defense Forces said on the 23rd that a commander of Hamas’s naval forces was killed in an air raid on the Gaza that night. On the 23rd, the Israeli army also launched air strikes against various infrastructure and rocket launching sites of Hezbollah in Lebanon in response to Hezbollah’s rocket launch in northern Israel earlier that day.

Gree Electric: The company has developed GR35, GR50E, GRS20 and other industrial robots for lithium batteries and photovoltaics, GR200 industrial robots for die casting of automobile parts, and GRX5 c

  () Financial Research Center On July 12th, some investors asked (). What about the development of the company’s industrial robots?

  The company replied that Gree Electric adheres to the development concept of "mastering the core technology independently" and deeply cultivates the technical fields of industrial robots such as servo motors, servo drivers, motion controllers, etc., and has achieved full range coverage of robot products from 1kg to 600kg, which can be widely used in different industrial scenes such as machinery manufacturing, auto parts processing, household appliances manufacturing, 3C, etc. The company has developed GR35, GR50E, GRS20 and other industrial robots for lithium batteries and photovoltaics, GR200 industrial robots for die casting of automobile parts, and GRX5 cooperative robots for matching liquid dispensing workstations, and provided robot automation application solutions for the manufacturing of new energy automobile parts, which continuously helped the intelligent upgrading of the national manufacturing industry.

Geely has a new car again! The new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian is on the market, starting at 147,700.

In September, Geely Xingyue L sold a total of 19,044 new cars, ranking sixth in the total SUV sales list, and the market sales were extraordinary. On October 27th, Geely Automobile officially launched the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian. As a redesigned model, the new car launched five configurations.The price is 147.7-179.7 million yuan.

The launch of the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian model will strengthen the strength of the entire Xingyue L car series. Looking at the joint-venture SUV models in the same price range, CR-V is old-fashioned, and Volkswagen is also facing upgrading. Therefore, at this time, the arrival of Xingyue L Dongfang Obsidian will obviously make its compact SUV market "lively" again. So what is better about this new car update?

The first is the rejuvenation of Yan value. As we all know, the original design of Xingyue L gives people a feeling of great atmosphere, especially its large-size body shape, which is actually more like a medium-sized SUV. Now, the manufacturer has equipped the new "Yunqi Zhujing Front Grille" for the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian. With the new silver logo, the whole vehicle has more China elements, and there is no sense of disharmony at the same time. This is the charm brought by the design rejuvenation.

On the side of the car body, the new car has a waistline running through the car body to the tail, and the front and rear fenders are slightly convex, which looks quite powerful. The rim uses a 20-inch dense spoke design, which looks harmonious with its large body. The rear of the car is equipped with a penetrating taillight group, with silver chrome decoration and hidden exhaust below, which is also biased towards household attributes.

In terms of size, Xingyue L Dongfang Yao has a length, width and height of 4770/1895/1689mm and a wheelbase of 2845mm, which is still the positioning of a compact SUV, but it is also the body of a medium-sized SUV.

Secondly, the interior design has become better. Entering the car of Xingyue L Dongfang Yao, we can see that the new car continues to be equipped with a triple screen with a length of more than 1 meter, and there is also a 25.6-inch AR-HUD head-up display in front of the main driver. The central control panel is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 car chip, which is also the smart cabin level of new energy vehicles.

In addition, the physical buttons at the bottom of the screen are cancelled in the channel area of the center console, and the electronic shift lever made of knob control buttons and crystal materials is replaced, which can also make the owner more comfortable in actual use.

As for the internal configuration, it also has double-deck sound insulation glass, 12-speaker audio system of Yanfei Lishi, front seat heating/ventilation, headrest audio, panoramic sunroof, main driver’s seat massage, one-button leveling of co-pilot, three-temperature zone air conditioning, rear electric adjustment, rear privacy glass and optional rear seat heating. Therefore, the configuration of the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian can also be said to be armed to the teeth.

In terms of power, the new Xingyue L Dongfang Yao models listed this time are all equipped with 2.0T engines. The maximum power of the new car is 238 HP and the peak torque is 350 Nm. The transmission matches Aisin 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and the high-equipped models are also equipped with Borgwarner’s sixth-generation electro-hydraulic four-wheel drive system.

On the old Xingyue L model, many people commented that the chassis of this car was very textured and comfortable, but when it came to the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian, the power experience was beyond this level, and the logic and reaction speed of the gearbox were also very good, which was exactly like the driving experience that a higher-level car had. In addition, the performance of the new car in sound insulation is also by going up one flight of stairs, which is mainly due to the use of double-decker sound insulation glass in its front row. The chassis is as comfortable as ever, which is also the credit of CDC variable damping suspension.

In short, as a new modified model, Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian still surprises us in many aspects. In particular, its performance in driving texture gives me the feeling that it is more like the level of a medium-sized joint venture SUV with a level of more than 200,000. But now, Geely has achieved the same or even higher driving experience as the joint venture medium-sized SUV with a price of only 167,000 yuan, so I think that the overall price of this Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian model is quite cost-effective.

Write at the end:Despite the fierce competition in the SUV market and the overall rise of new energy vehicles, Chinese people obviously still need a good fuel SUV to choose from. Nowadays, the launch of the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian model is to meet the needs of such users. Through the introduction of the above product points, we can see that the new Xingyue L Dongfang Yao has become newer and better, so we have every reason to believe that it can continue to achieve good market sales performance.

Extreme Yue 07 dies when it goes public? 200,000 buying a car is in a dilemma! Car enterprise innovation causes controversy

Dear riders, today let’s talk about a topic that has recently exploded in the circle: it’s officially listed! However, this new product, known as a "good car", doesn’t seem to have caused much waves in the market.

Let’s take a look at the background of this new player first. But, brothers, this market is no longer the era when gold was everywhere! Heroes from all walks of life gather together. That’s called a enter the dragon. It’s very lively!

Extreme Yue 07: Step on the head of a chicken or a duck?

Speaking of the positioning of the Extreme Yue 07, the official statement is "pure electric medium and large cars". Sounds tall, doesn’t it? But you old irons, we have to keep our eyes open and see clearly: this price segment is the most competitive battlefield!

, Extreme Krypton 001, Tesla, Zhiji L6 … These bosses are all eyeing this cake. Extreme Yue 07 wants to share a piece of this "fairy fight" market, I am afraid it will take some effort!

Some netizens quipped: "Do you want to step on the head of a chicken or a duck?" Indeed, in this price segment, it is not easy to stand out.

Technological innovation or anti-human design?

When it comes to innovation, Extreme Yue 07 has put a lot of effort into it. 800V high-voltage fast charging technology, dual Orin-X chips, ASD Apollo high-order intelligent driving system … Does it sound very powerful? But brothers, good things have to be used in the right place!

For example, the design of canceling the door handle is officially called "full of science and technology". But think about it, in winter, you stand by the car and shout, "Hi SIMO! Open the door! " What’s the picture? Isn’t this a toss-up

And the 35.6-inch "fish screen", which looks cool. But old irons, do you really need such a big screen when driving? Isn’t the reflection dazzling? Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

User Experience: Innovation or Self-satisfaction?

After all, whether a car is good or not depends on the user experience. Extreme Yue 07 can be said to be a broken heart in this respect, but the effect is good. …

Take a chestnut, the half-width steering wheel, which is said to have cost 20 million yuan to develop. But brothers, do you feel comfortable using this steering wheel when driving? What should I do if I get rid of it when I turn sharply? Isn’t this a life?

There is also the design of shifting gears through screen touch, which is troublesome to think about. Old irons, can you imagine looking down for the shift button on the screen when you are in a hurry? Isn’t this a sin for yourself?

Market Strategy: Differentiation or Self-isolation?

To be honest, Extreme Vietnam 07 does have some bright spots in some aspects. For example, the design is quite innovative and the dynamic performance is good. But brothers, what’s the use of good performance alone? The key is that someone has to buy it!

Some netizens spoke out and said, "Do you want to collect all the’ anti-human’ designs?" Although it is a bit heavy, it makes sense. Differentiated marketing is a good thing, but we must grasp the degree!

Future Outlook: Opportunities and Challenges Coexist

The future of the electric vehicle market is undoubtedly bright, but the competition will become more and more fierce.

Some insiders said: "The problem with Extreme Vietnam 07 is not that it is not good enough, but that it is’ good’ in the wrong place." This sentence is very reasonable. While pursuing innovation, we should also consider the actual needs of users!

Finally, I want to say that the Extreme Yue 07 is indeed a distinctive car, but whether it can become an explosion depends on the market reaction. Dear riders, do you think there’s a chance for Extreme Yue 07? Welcome to discuss in the comment area!

European Observation Room | Review of US-European Relations in 2023: An EU that does not want to be marginalized

[Editor’s note]

This article is the 44th column of "European Observation Room" jointly published by Shanghai European Society and The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) "Diplomatic Scholar". On December 1st, Shanghai International Studies University and the Shanghai European Society held a conference on "Europe-America Relations Trend Report 2023" and a seminar on "Europe-America Sino-Russian Relations under the Influence of Euro-American Transatlantic Relations", at which the Annual Report on Europe-America Relations Trend 2023 (hereinafter referred to as "Report") was released.

After the twists and turns from Obama to Biden, the relationship between Europe and the United States has taken an obvious turning point under the pressure of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. By 2023, the relationship between the two sides has entered a relatively stable year. Just as the president of the Shanghai European Society,Ding Chun, a professor at Fudan University, wrote a preface for the Report, saying that the differences between the United States and Europe have not disappeared under the relatively stable pattern of the United States dominating Europe, but they should not be exaggerated. However, in specific topics and national relations, the relationship between the United States and Europe shows different forms and characteristics, which also leaves room for China to develop specific relations and realize national interests. A more timely and detailed study of the United States and Europe is of greater significance at present. The "European Observatory" recently published some articles in the Report.

The year 2023 is an important year for the world to get rid of the shadow of the COVID-19 epidemic, and it is also a year in which the Ukrainian crisis presents a long-term and complicated situation. Judging from the political and diplomatic relations between the European Union and the United States, the two sides continued to maintain the institutionalized and normalized dialogue and coordination after Biden took office, but the inherent differences of interests began to re-emerge as the "honeymoon period" aimed at repairing the alliance gradually passed. At the same time, in the face of regional hot issues such as the Ukrainian crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States and Europe share common positions, but there are also differences in attitudes. Consultations between the two sides on these hot issues are becoming more and more frequent.

1. Normalization and institutionalization of EU-US political and diplomatic interaction

In 2023, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States includes not only the exchange of visits and consultations between European and American leaders, but also the meetings and exchanges between the two sides on multilateral occasions.

On March 10th, 2023, in Washington, USA, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met with US President Biden. 澎湃 image data map

From a bilateral perspective, on March 10th, 2023, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited the United States and met with Biden. On October 20, 2023, President Michelle and Ursula von der Leyen of the European Council visited Washington, D.C., and jointly held the second US-EU summit with US President Biden, and issued a joint statement after the meeting. In addition, other senior officials of both sides also interact frequently. For example, in early April 2023, US Secretary of State Blinken and EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Affairs borrell co-chaired the EU-U.S. Energy Council); in Brussels; At the end of May, several executive vice-presidents of the European Commission, together with officials such as Blinken, Minister of Commerce and Trade Representative, held the fourth ministerial meeting of the Euro-American Trade and Technology Council. On June 22, 2023, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Newland and Secretary-General of the European External Action Agency Stefano Sannino co-chaired the second dialogue between the United States and Europe on China and the fourth high-level consultation on the so-called "Indo-Pacific region".

At the multilateral level, the interaction between Europe and the United States mainly includes Biden’s trip to Europe in mid-July to attend the NATO summit in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, a Baltic country, and the EU, as a key partner of NATO, was also invited to attend the summit. The G-7 summit held in Hiroshima, Japan in May 2023 and the 18th summit of G-20 leaders held in New Delhi in September also became important platforms for Biden to communicate with Michelle and Ursula von der Leyen who were invited to attend the meeting. It can be said that these annual and institutionalized bilateral dialogues and multilateral meetings have become the main channels for normalized exchanges and consultations between the EU and the United States.

Second, the main topics and purposes of EU-US political and diplomatic interaction

Judging from the content involved, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States in 2023 mainly revolves around the following two goals.

First of all,Maintain the consistency of the positions of the United States and Europe on major hot issues and ensure the continuity and stability of the US commitment.The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has entered the second year, and the stalemate in the war indicates that this conflict will develop in a long-term and complicated direction. This makes the EU particularly worried that the United States will waver in any form on the Ukrainian issue, otherwise it will lead the EU and its member States to "fight alone" in the action of "supporting Ukraine and curbing Russia". For example, in October 2023, the US Congress failed to approve a new round of aid to Ukraine in time due to domestic political struggles, which caused great concern in the EU. During the Third European Political Community Leaders’ Meeting, borrell made it clear that "Europe can certainly not replace the United States" on the question of whether Europe can fill the gap in American aid to Ukraine. Therefore, the commitment of continuous assistance to Ukraine has become the core content of every dialogue between the United States and Europe. For example, in the joint statement issued after the second US-EU summit, the two sides once again stressed that long-term political, financial, humanitarian and military support for Ukraine will not waver. The two sides stood shoulder to shoulder and demanded that Russia end the war and immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw its troops and equipment from internationally recognized Ukrainian territory. Moreover, the two sides have also given a unified attitude towards other political solutions to the Ukrainian issue proposed by all parties in the international community, that is, any proposal to pursue comprehensive, just and lasting peace must be based on complete respect for Ukraine’s independence.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict that broke out in October, like the Ukrainian issue, occurred in the surrounding areas of the EU, which once again posed a serious security threat to the EU. Therefore, the coordination of positions on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become another important issue of regional security in the United States and Europe. In the above-mentioned joint statement, Europe and the United States not only recognized Israel’s right to self-defense, but also emphasized the premise of "conforming to international law, including humanitarian law" and the importance of protecting civilians and ensuring corresponding material supply channels. This joint statement can be regarded as the strengthening of position coordination between the United States and Europe, and the rectification of the "one-sided" attitude and "unreserved solidarity" towards Israel in the early stage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Secondly,The United States and Europe hold consultations around the differences of interests, hoping to achieve the coordination of US and European policies and the compatibility of interests.In the second half of 2022, the Biden administration of the United States promulgated the Inflation Reduction Act, which plans to provide subsidies and tax incentives worth $369 billion for green technologies. These preferential measures will only be given to those related enterprises that have settled in the United States for manufacturing. This legislation immediately triggered strong dissatisfaction and worry in the European Union, fearing that the US bill would lead to a large outflow of domestic industrial capacity in Europe and cause a huge blow to the European economy. Therefore, the purpose of Ursula von der Leyen’s visit to the United States on March 10, 2023 was to negotiate with Biden on the Inflation Reduction Act, hoping to push the United States to make corresponding amendments and adjustments, but in vain.

In addition to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden administration of the United States has successively issued a series of policies and bills to activate the development of specific industries in the country, such as the Chip and Science Act (August 2022), the National Defense Production Act (June 2022), and the Infrastructure Investment and Employment Act (November 2021). Faced with these competitive modes, mainly through tax reduction or exemption, loans or subsidies, the European Union successively launched the Green Deal Industrial Plan, the Clean Zero Industry Act and the Key Raw Materials Act in 2023 as a response, relaxing the restrictions on subsidies provided by member States to specific industries, strengthening the requirements for the proportion of production capacity within the region, and improving the investment environment for green technology production. As the global governance issue of climate change is more and more closely related to the production capacity and social employment of various countries, the compatibility of industrial policies, economic legislation and economic stimulus measures is increasingly appearing in the political dialogue and consultation agenda between the United States and Europe. Similarly, such issues also dominated the second summit between the two major EU leaders and the Biden administration in October. However, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the export tariff agreement for steel and aluminum.

Furthermore,The EU urgently needs to ensure that it will not be marginalized in the tripartite game between China, the United States and Europe.Ensure that US-European interaction takes precedence over Sino-US interaction. The joint statement issued by the two sides after the second EU-US summit clearly stated that they are using various bilateral and multilateral platforms to discuss their China policies. On the one hand, both sides are ready to build a constructive and stable relationship with China, recognizing the importance and necessity of strengthening China’s cooperation in the fields of climate change, biodiversity, debt sustainability, global public health governance, macroeconomic stability, etc., but on the other hand, both sides also emphasize the importance of risk reduction and diversification of the industrial chain and the necessity of protecting certain advanced technologies. In addition, the two sides have once again expressed their common position and principles on the Taiwan Strait issue, the situation in the South China Sea, Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong, and the Ukrainian issue. From the time point of view, the interaction between the United States and Europe on China policy was earlier than the San Francisco meeting between the top leaders of China and the United States on November 15, 2023 and the China-EU Summit held in Beijing on December 7, 2023, achieving the goal of giving priority to coordination.

Third, the future prospect of EU-US political and diplomatic relations

Under the background of the persistent game between big countries, frequent and difficult regional conflicts, and increasingly urgent global governance issues, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States is one of the main ways to maintain the stability and unity of transatlantic relations, expand their voice and influence in the international community, and maintain the dominance of Western alliance relations in international affairs. However, the seemingly solid alliance is also facing many challenges. Therefore, the political and diplomatic interaction between the United States and Europe is also a mirror that reflects the differences in positions and interests between the two sides. Despite the frequent political and diplomatic interactions between the EU and the United States since Biden took office recently, whether this seemingly solid alliance can continue to be consolidated and enhanced in the future depends on many uncertain factors in the era of chaos.

First of all,The future direction of US-European relations is closely related to the internal political game between the two sides.From the perspective of the United States, the presidential election in 2024 has already begun. The possibility of Trump’s comeback should not be underestimated. The foreign policy of the United States has been changing with the change of president. For example, the climate policy of the United States has undergone several rounds of general adjustment from the Clinton administration to the Biden administration. This undoubtedly affects the nerves of European allies on the other side of the Atlantic. From the perspective of the EU, under the complicated and special mechanism of the EU, there are different opinions between leaders of different institutions and between different member States on important issues such as US-Europe relations and regional conflicts, which affect the unity and consistency of the EU’s foreign policy. For example, the differences between Ursula von der Leyen, Michelle and borrell have been exposed quite openly for many times. Ursula von der Leyen’s overly pro-American stance and strong stance in the field of EU diplomacy have earned him the title of "American agent" inside and outside the EU. The year 2024 will be the election year for the European Parliament and the appointment year for three important figures, namely, the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Council and the High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Affairs. Their views on Europe’s position and role in the international order and US-Europe relations will have an important impact on the future US-Europe relations.

Secondly,Whether the differences in economic and security interests between the United States and Europe are enlarged or narrowed will also profoundly affect the political and diplomatic relations between the two sides.From the perspective of economic interests, Germany, the economic engine of the European Union, is experiencing a difficult transition period of industrial structure and energy structure. A series of economic stimulus measures with obvious protectionism in the United States have seriously damaged the economic development prospects of Germany and even the whole European Union, which has further widened the differences of interests between the United States and Europe in the fields of economy, trade and investment and interfered with the synchronization of political and diplomatic actions between the United States and Europe. From the perspective of security interests, the long-term and complicated conflict between Russia and Ukraine may lead to different views in the west on how to end the conflict, which will also interfere with the consistency of the positions of both sides and the efficiency of their actions.

Domestic BMW i5 will be on the market soon, with a price of 400,000-500,000. Are you ready?

It is reported that the highly anticipated domestic BMW i5 will be officially launched at the end of January 2024, with an estimated price of 400,000-500,000. This news has undoubtedly brought surprises to the fans. Let’s take a look at the charm of this new car!

First of all, from the appearance point of view, the new car basically continues the overseas version of the design, the front face adopts the latest kidney grille, and the angel eye headlights on both sides have also been upgraded. In addition, the grille, the front and rear enclosures, the wheel hub, the exterior rearview mirror and the window trim all add champagne color, which makes the whole car look more noble and elegant. The door handle has also been replaced with a new one, which is consistent with the new X1 shape, and people can recognize it as the latest design of BMW at a glance.
