兄弟们，大家中午好。 最近这段时间，小米的品宣一直处于半停滞状态，以至于在前几个就已经在全网大热的 小米 YU7，临近发布之际，反而没有声音了。 于是，不少米粉们发出了疑问，难道？ 小米 YU7？这次要延期了吗？ 众所周知，此前小米对于 小米 YU7的上市时间一直宣传的是6-7月份。 而不少的自媒体博主猜测，这款车可能会出现在4月份的上海车展上，让大家先睹为快。 不过让大家失望的是， 上海车展只有SU 7车型，并没有 YU7。 于是，自媒体博主又开始猜测， YU7是不是又要延期到2026年了？ 对此小米的王化已经给出回应： YU7上市时间并未改变，依然是之前雷总预告的6-7月。 明天就是5月份， 离 YU7的正式发布时间已经非常接近了。 现在网上的各种配置信息，已经爆料的差不多了。 咱们来看一下最新的消息吧。 首先，近期工信部再次更新小米 YU7 续航信息。 对于一款新能源汽车来说，续航一直是大家关注的重中之重。 虽然都2025年了，但是新能源汽车依旧是"新玩具"，大部分人对此还是有续航焦虑的。 YU7续航， 此前已经更新过2个版本，分别是： 最高续航分别是760公里 和820公里。 | 序号 | 汽车生产企 ...

题图｜AI生成 时间进入4月，中国汽车市场的价格战还在持续。而这次受影响的，则是一些过去相对坚挺"豪华"品牌。 例如，某些高端品牌开始以"去库存车"的名义降价，过去接近30万元的电动车，如今不到20万元。而另一些 品牌，则在发布换代或改款车时直接将起售价拉低了近10万元，以便获得市场认可。更不用说，早在今年 春节以后，5年免息的终端促销政策甚至已经成为30万元以上电动车的必选项了。 为什么明明因为搭载了大电池以后成本更高的纯电动车，愣是卖不上价格呢？要把电动汽车做出用户认可 的豪华感，怎么就这么难？ 高速短腿，不该成为豪华电动车的 痛点 尽管售价和配置有着不少差别，但 所有电动汽车都共享着同样的焦虑——跑不远 。 尽管早已有电动汽车的 CLTC工况续航里程超越500公里，但自己这辆车到底能跑多远，几乎所有的电动车主都说不清楚。 因为，电动汽车的续航里程会受到气温、道路坡度、路面环境乃至风力风向等等外部条件的影响。尤其是 上了高速公路以后，市区里还能稳稳跑上400乃至500公里的电动汽车，能耗就会成倍上升，导致续航下 降。 这是因为， 目前几乎所有的电动汽车搭载的，都是固定齿比的单挡变速箱 。别看新发布的一些高 ...
