According to statistics, the total number of cars exhibited at this year’s auto show reached 1,132, including 469 new energy vehicles and 59 new cars launched in the world. Such a dense number of new cars is really dazzling. It doesn’t matter. Today, we have compiled 10 must-see hot models at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, E-class and E-class. How to choose MEGA and X9? Who is harder in Prado? Let’s take a look.
1. The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase version VS the new BMW 5 Series long wheelbase version.
The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase version is open for pre-sale, and the pre-sale price range is 45.00-540,000 yuan.
The new domestic BMW 5 Series /i5 will be put into production in January next year.
E-Class Harmony, a pair of tell it to the judge, who have been in love and killing each other for many years, will appear at the same time at this Guangzhou Auto Show, which is bound to collide with a lot of sparks. First of all, in terms of styling, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class still takes elegance as the main line, while the new BMW 5 Series has a larger size, so it has a stronger gas field.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase version are 5092/1880/1493mm and the wheelbase is 3094mm respectively. The length, width and height of the new 5-Series long wheelbase version are 5175/1900/1520mm and the wheelbase is 3105 mm. Obviously, BMW has an advantage in terms of size. As for the spatial performance, there is a suspense. We will also bring you a comparative experience if we have the opportunity.
The interiors of the two new cars also have the same characteristics, that is, intelligence and technology configuration. The new BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 12.3-inch instrument and a 14.9-inch central control screen, while the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class adopts a triple screen design consistent with Mercedes-Benz EQS. In terms of car system, BMW 5 Series is equipped with iDrive 8.5 system, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the third-generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, with excellent fluency performance. As for voice control, the two cars can also be regarded as keeping up with the pace of the times, and then we will bring you comparative tests when we have the opportunity.
In terms of power, it is actually the smallest difference between the two cars, which lies entirely in the difference in driving experience brought by different styles of training, but the more important point lies in the electrification of new energy. At this auto show, the new BMW i5 was unveiled together, and the heat was not lower than that of the fuel version 5 series, while Mercedes-Benz can only compete with EQE, so the newer BMW i5 seems to have more advantages in more aspects.
Many people ask which one is better, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class or the new BMW 5 Series. In fact, the groups of the two cars are slightly different. One is more mature and the other is more dynamic. It can only be said that the one that suits you is the best, but if you want to ask how to choose BMW i5 and EQE, then I personally prefer BMW i5.
2. Ideal MEGA VS Tucki X9
Ideal MEGA: open blind subscription
Pre-sale price of Tucki X9: starting from 388,000 yuan.
MPV models have really staged a drama of salted fish turning over in the domestic market, and they are gone forever on the road to luxury and high-end.

In contrast, the popularity of Tucki X9 seems to be lower, but as the flagship medium and large MPV, the low-key of Tucki X9 does not mean that it has no bright spots. Global 800V, front and rear integrated aluminum die-casting, XNGP and other core technologies of boosting architecture, and it is also the only MPV with rear wheel steering as standard in the world. At the same time, as the first vehicle equipped with XOS Tianqi intelligent cockpit system, Tucki X9 will bring the application scenarios and travel experience of the next generation intelligent cockpit.
As medium and large MPVs, both cars are big men in terms of figure. The ideal MEGA has a length, width and height of 5350/1965/1850mm and a wheelbase of 3300mm, respectively. The length, width and height of Tucki X9 are 5293/1988/1785mm and the wheelbase is 3160mm, which is a little smaller than the ideal MEGA in terms of size data, but both cars are definitely big in terms of visual effects.
Ideal MEGA and Tucki X9 are bound to become hot spots in the MPV market in 2024. At present, the understanding of them is only limited to the static part. As for the dynamic performance, it is also worth looking forward to. What surprises will they bring? Let’s wait and see.

Brand-new domestic Toyota Prado: Open the reservation after the Spring Festival
At present, in the domestic market, the hard-core SUV may be able to compete with MPV. The 700 Hi4-T and the brand-new Prado are undoubtedly the two cars with the highest attention at this auto show. The appearance of the tank 700 Hi4-T will continue the "Mecha Technology" route. The length, width and height of the new car are 5090(5113)/2061/1952mm, and the wheelbase is 3000mm, which is adopted by the new car. In addition, the specifications of the front/rear tires of the new car are 275/60 R20 and 275/50 R22, respectively, with high ground clearance, and the approach angle and departure angle are expected to be greater than 30 degrees.

After the last row is put down, the trunk can also have more storage space. At the same time, due to the hybrid of oil and electricity in Prado, the battery will be smaller and occupy less space in the car.
The comfort configuration of the new Prado is not bad, including seat heating/ventilation, steering wheel heating, mobile phone wireless interconnection, panoramic sunroof, 14-speaker JBL speaker, three-temperature zone air conditioning and so on. However, the display of interior materials and the sense of science and technology in the car are definitely not as good as China brand new energy off-road SUV.
The new Prado, which is about to be made in China, will be equipped with a 2.4T hybrid system of oil and electricity, and bid farewell to the large-displacement naturally aspirated engine. Its system has a comprehensive maximum power of 330 HP (243 kW) and a maximum torque of 630 Nm. Its parameter level is better than that of the fuel tank 500, but lower than that of the tank 500 Hi4-T. Compared with the vehicles in the new energy field, there is still a gap in power parameters.
In terms of off-road performance, the new Prado will be equipped with middle and rear differential locks, high and low speed four-wheel drive, which can amplify the torque. At the same time, the new car will also be equipped with multi-terrain control and creep mode.
