BYD Xia
A new member joins the Dynasty network, with this all-new MPV model scheduled for official launch on January 8th. Equipped with refrigerator, TV, and large sofa, plus the 5th generation DM-i technology and the Yunlian-C vehicle control system, BYD's comprehensive technology makes this a robust product offering.
With increasingly more new vehicle information being revealed, four models will debut at launch. The expected price range is 280,000-320,000 yuan, with actual launch prices likely adjusting to the 260,000-280,000 yuan range. Given BYD Xia's technological advantages and balanced product strength, plus these competitive prices, the BYD Dynasty network is set to welcome another bestseller.
Featuring traditional MPV styling, through-type taillights, and a straight roof design ensuring head room and passenger comfort in the second and third rows. Silver trim adds distinctiveness and design flair. The Dragon Face front design features chrome trim in dragon whisker style, with embedded 'Xia' characters for recognition, creating a strong presence.
Dual 12.3-inch instrument screens + passenger entertainment display, 15.6-inch floating central control screen, and rear ceiling screen. Wireless charging, electronic gear selector, and HUD display are all present. 2+2+3 layout, with onboard refrigerator, power footrests, folding table boards, power sunshades, etc. Equipped with 1.5T engine + 200kW motor, offering 20.39/36.628kWh LFP battery options.
Tesla Model Y
Tesla Model Y's launch date is approaching, planned for Q1 2025, likely debuting in January. Various media have released numerous renderings of the new Model Y, some borrowing design elements from the Cybertruck, with linear headlight design and through-type styling. Combined with recent heavily camouflaged road test photos, this possibility seems plausible.
Certainly, Tesla Model Y will undergo comprehensive interior and exterior changes, including interior layout adjustments, ambient lighting, and rear entertainment screens. Seat ventilation and roof sunshades should also be included. The highly requested third-row seating likely won't appear, at least not in the initial 5-seat layout version. Whether 6/7-seat versions will launch later depends on Tesla's product planning, as overseas markets have always had 7-seat versions.
Regarding power, many sources suggest a 90kWh large battery and 800V platform upgrade, though no confirmed details yet. Range improvement is certain to enhance product performance. Currently, Tesla offers a 10,000 yuan reduction on final payment, effectively lowering the starting price to 239,990 yuan.
Jetour Traveller
Originally planned for late 2024 launch, the Jetour Traveller will likely debut in January 2025. Previously showcased at the Guangzhou Auto Show, its boxy design made a strong impression. Positioned as a road travel off-road SUV, powered by Kunpeng 2.0T + 8AT powertrain, with XWD intelligent all-wheel drive system capable of intelligent terrain recognition and automatic torque distribution, offering 7+X driving modes.
In the hardcore SUV segment, Jetour has pioneered many new market segments and tracks, such as family travel, off-road travel, and new energy off-road vehicles, creating multiple bestsellers helping the brand achieve nearly 440,000 units in sales in the first 10 months.

Yangwang U7 PHEV
Yangwang's entry barrier remains high, with both current products, U9 and U8, priced above 1 million yuan. The high price limits purchase accessibility and usage scenarios, affecting actual sales performance. In the past year, Yangwang U9 sold 64 units, while U8 sold 8,672 units.
Yangwang U7 will be positioned below U8 and U9 but still focuses on high-end luxury, likely priced between 500,000-700,000 yuan, with top configurations possibly exceeding 1 million.
