In 2022, the competition in the new energy vehicle market will become increasingly fierce and fierce, and the iterative update of models will continue to accelerate. But in any case, 2022 has finally come to an end and become a thing of the past.
And 2023 is coming towards us full of hope, so what new cars are worth looking forward to in the new chapter of 2023? Today I will make a summary for you.
NIO ET5 Travel Edition
Among the many car categories, there is a niche model that has always been liked by many people, and that is the station wagon. Following the exposure of the spy photos of the Weilai ET5 travel version, it also aroused heated discussions among netizens.
From the spy photos, although the test car has thick camouflage, it can be clearly seen that the C-pillar and roof shape of the vehicle is very in line with the style of a station wagon. There is also a spoiler above the tailgate, which looks very Sports, good looks.
The interior of the car is also expected to be consistent with the ET5, following NIO’s consistent “second living room” design concept, and bringing a unique interior space experience through the carefully designed light, shadow, and materials in the cockpit.
With reference to the power performance of NIO ET5, the ET5 travel version is expected to be equipped with front and rear dual motors, with a combined power of 360kW, a peak torque of 700N m, and an acceleration time of around 4s to 100 kilometers. The battery life is also expected to provide 75kWh and 100kWh battery packs, and the CLTC battery life is expected to be around 560km and 710km.
Tesla Model S/X
Speaking of the new Model S/X, in fact, it has been launched and delivered overseas for more than a year, but it has not been seen in China for a long time. Its new shift mode, functional innovation, new entertainment system, and 2.1s 100-kilometer performance all make this model full of mystery.
Although the appearance is not too refreshing, it basically continues the design language of the current models but simplifies some design elements.
As for the interior cockpit, there are relatively big changes between these two models. The most intuitive one is the new interior design language, which adopts a suspended square central control screen similar to Model 3/Y and the “novelty” Yoke steering wheel and Function key changes. In addition, a new car-machine system and gear-shifting method have also been adopted.
In terms of power, the new Model S dual-motor version is equipped with a front permanent magnet/rear asynchronous motor combination, with a total power of 493kW and an acceleration of 3.2s from 100 kilometers (minus the start time); while the three-motor Plaid version is equipped with front 1 + rear 2 permanent magnets.

Li L7
At the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show, Li Auto also announced the launch date of Li L7, which will be launched on February 8, 2023, and the show car and test drive car will enter the store simultaneously on February 9. In addition, the new car has been officially released at the launch conference of Li L8.
Li L7 is positioned as a five-seat family smart flagship SUV. In terms of interior layout, the front row of the new car is the same as the family flagship L9, adopting a central control layout of dual screens + steering wheel screens + HUD. In the rear part, the new car basically retains the comfort configuration of the Li L9.
In terms of power, the L7 uses a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender from Li Xinchen Technology for the range extender, with a maximum power of 113kW. In terms of motors, the L7 is equipped with a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive system. The maximum power of the front motor is 130kW, the maximum power of the rear motor is 200kW, the total power reaches 330kW, and the total torque reaches 620N m.
Zeekr 003
As the third model of Zeekr, Zeekr 003 is also a compact SUV that Zeekr will release soon. The previous 001 and 009 were both a larger size, and this model appeals to users who love small cars.
In terms of appearance, although the new car is covered with heavy camouflage, you can still see the posture and size of the vehicle. The posture of the new car is relatively low, and it looks more like a hatchback. At the same time, the front face still adopts a split light group design similar to that of Zeekr 001.
In terms of the tail, it is quite different from Zeekr 001. It is equipped with a new style of taillight design and a small rear wing, which is a bit sporty and personalized.
The interior has also been exposed before. It can be seen that the new car adopts an independent instrument and central control screen design, and the steering wheel has also made a new design. less space. The air outlet of the air conditioner still adopts a hidden design.
In terms of power, referring to the performance parameters of 001 and 009, I believe this model will also be equipped with a powerful power system.
BYD Seagull
If you ask which mini-car is worth looking forward to in 2023, BYD Seagull must be in it. The size is smaller than the dolphin, and the price is lower. It is also based on the e-platform 3.0 and has attracted a lot of attention.
Looking back at the previous spy photos, in terms of the front face, the seagull will be different from the more rounded style of the dolphin but adopts a more radical design. The closed front face is equipped with angular headlights. Xiang’s daytime running lights feel very fierce.
The side of the body is indeed like a miniature version of a dolphin, the roof line sinks slightly backwards, with the raised window line and the suspended roof. However, compared with dolphins, seagulls will also have an extra rear wing blessing, making the whole model more sporty and dynamic.
The shape of the tail will also be more three-dimensional than that of a dolphin. The taillights also adopt a dot-matrix design with a broken eyebrow. When lit, they also present a double-width style, which also enhances the technological atmosphere of the vehicle.
The car is also expected to be launched in the second and third quarters of 2023.
Denza SUV
Denza’s second model, the Denza mid-size SUV, is also called a “world-class SUV” by Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Tengza’s sales department, and will be released in the first half of 2023.
Judging from the previous spy photos, the front face of the new car is consistent with the concept car INCEPTION, the split headlight design, the wing-like light strip design, etc., have all been retained.
Looking at the side of the car, the whole body posture of the new car is actually more sporty. The waistline of the whole body adopts “flowing” curved lines, with rising curved edges from front to back. Compared with the flat and straight lines of conventional models, although it lacks a bit of “hardcore” feeling, it has more of a smart and sporty atmosphere.
In terms of the rear, the lined wheels at the rear of the new car also show that the design of the concept car INCEPTION has been greatly retained. The basic outline is the same as the concept car. The spoiler, through-type taillights, etc. have been preserved with a high probability, and the shape of the rear is very full. And with a little slip-back shape.
In addition, according to the previous concept car, this model is likely to be equipped with two lidars. This is also BYD’s new breakthrough in intelligence, and it is also BYD’s first model equipped with lidar.
Aion Hyper GT
During the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show, Aian Hyper GT was also officially unveiled. As the flagship model of the high-end brand Hyper, Aion is also based on the AEP3.0 platform, a new generation of the high-end pure electric exclusive platform of Aion, and a new generation of electronic and electrical architecture Protoss architecture. It can be said that it is the latest technology of Aion. results.
As the first model of the Hyper series, the official positioning of the Hyper GT is “sci-fi rotor GT”. Its overall shape is also officially called “Fengshengshuiqi” design language. Looking at the real car under such a design language, you will find that the appearance of the whole vehicle is relatively round.
In terms of power, the Hyper GT with rear-drive configuration will be equipped with a drive motor with a peak power of 250kW and a peak torque of 434N m. The official said that with such a single motor configuration, the new car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4 seconds.
At the same time, in terms of assisted driving configuration, Hyper GT is also equipped with 3 laser radars, plus millimeter wave radar, ultrasonic radar, infrared remote sensing technology, and a high-definition camera. The official said that Hyper GT is equipped with 39 multi-integrated intelligent driving perception systems.
Jidu ROBO-02
At the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show, Jidu brought us the second model ROBO-02. Although this Jidu ROBO-02 is only shown for the first time, judging from the status of the show car, it is expected that the new car has entered the countdown to mass production. After the official entry of ROBO-02, the already crowded electric sedan market will become even more exciting.
Get to know ROBO-02 from 45° first. From a golden point of view, the coupe appearance of Jidu ROBO-02 is more coordinated than that of the brand’s first model ROBO-01.
On the side of the body, you can see that ROBO-02 adopts a very obvious coupe-style design, and the body line dives rapidly from the C-pillar, forming a very dynamic visual effect.
Turning to the rear part of the car, you can see that ROBO-02 adopts a through-type taillight design, and it is expected that the taillight part will also have the ability to interact. In addition, the new car is also equipped with the ROBO-01 electric tailgate, and the entire tailgate is suspected to be opened in a hatchback style.
Although the ROBO-02 did not open the door this time, according to the official image, it can be seen that the new car will also use a U-shaped steering wheel, a 35.6-inch integrated screen, and will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 car-machine chip.
Marvel F7
Although Marvel did not clearly indicate the specific release time of the F7 in the catalog of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in September, the F7 has already landed, which also shows that this model is not far from the official release.
According to the declaration drawing and various spy photos, the new car has inherited the design language of the Marvel brand as a whole, and its overall design follows the classic golden ratio, which looks relatively simple and has a sense of technology.
At the rear, the new car also adopts a through-type taillight design and is equipped with an embossed car logo in the center. The side air curtains are also designed on both sides to enhance the sporty feeling of the vehicle.
Regarding battery life, the announcement also shows that Marvel F7 will provide two battery packs of 77kWh and 90kWh, with a total of 3 CLTC cruising ranges of 576km, 666km, and 706km. In terms of power, the power of the equipped motor is 250kW. In addition, it is understood that Marvel F7 will also have the same battery swap capability as Marvel R7.
Deepal S7
Deepal SL03 can be said to have laid a very good foundation for Deepal’s future new cars, and Deepal’s second model – Deepal S7 is also enjoying this “bonus”.
In the 366th batch of declaration, catalogs previously issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Changan Deep Blue S7 has also officially declared information, and it is still a purely electric version and an extended-range version.
From the appearance point of view, the new car adopts the same design style as the SL03 as a whole, but the front face has made specific changes. The extended range version and the pure electric version are basically the same in appearance.
Since it is an SUV model, the rear looks much more coordinated than that of the SL03. I believe this model will also become a new growth point for Deepal.
In terms of power, the currently declared model is a pure electric version, which is still a single motor, with a motor power of 160kW and a 190kW motor. There is no four-wheel drive pure electric model yet. In terms of battery life, the low-power version of the CLTC model has a battery life of 620km, while the high-power version of the CLTC model has a battery life of 520km.
In the range-extended model, a 1.5L engine is used, and the motor has a certain improvement compared with the SL03, reaching 175kW. As for battery life, 1 is equipped with a 31.73kWh battery pack, and the WLTC pure electric battery life is 160km.
IM LS7
IM LS7, the second model under the IM brand, has also officially unveiled and opened pre-sales before. It will be officially launched in February next year, and show cars will arrive in stores in January.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a very full and combative design language. The light language composed of the headlight group and the daytime running lights below gives people a sense of calmness and prestige. In addition, the interactive projection lamp design that was the highlight of IM L7 has also been carried over to the LS7. In addition, the officially launched models can be equipped with dual lidar and special configuration Carlog.
In terms of interior, IM LS7 continues the 2+1 screen design of IM L7 in the cockpit layout, and the liftable central control/co-pilot screen and central screen are not absent on the LS7. At the same time, the front of the new car adopts a design that is officially called “Star Fall Ice Feeling Front Dome”, which can provide users with a 106-degree wide field of vision.
Another highlight of the cockpit is the “zero-gravity buoyancy seat”. The rear right seat of IM LS7 supports electric adjustment and a large reclining position, with a maximum range of 121°. The co-pilot seat can be completely stored in the glove box below the position. This is mainly due to the fact that the new car adopts the longest slide rail of the current mass-produced car in the world, reaching 1950mm.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a dual-motor power combination of 175kW at the front and 250kW at the rear. This powertrain is consistent with the IM L7. In terms of battery life, IM LS7 will have two battery versions of 90kWh and 100kWh. At present, two endurance versions have been declared, both of which are equipped with 100kWh battery packs, and the pure electric endurance of CLTC is 660km and 625km respectively.
Voyah chasing light
On December 15th, Voyah Chasing Light will also be officially unveiled. It is expected to be delivered in the first and second quarters of 2023.
Although there are not many highlights in the appearance and interior of the chasing light, I think it is still interesting in terms of technology. For example, the 86kWh battery version uses the industry’s first semi-solid battery pack, and the mainstream configuration level is still very good. Looking forward to the actual landing results of this model.
Avatr 11 RWD
In the previous 362nd batch declaration catalogue, the Avatr 11 rear-wheel drive version has also entered the catalogue.
In terms of appearance, there is basically no change. The front face adopts a closed grille design, and the front cabin adopts a folded line design. The overall design is full of sense. The rib lines further enhance the youthful and sporty feeling of the vehicle, thereby bringing lower wind resistance performance.
In terms of power, the Avatr 11 rear-drive version is equipped with a rear 230kW Huawei DriveONE motor. The battery life has not been announced. As a reference, the dual-motor version provides 90kWh and 116kWh battery versions. If it is used with a single motor, it is believed that the battery life will be further improved.
Baojun KiWi pure electric “Jimmy”
Speaking of miniature cars worth looking forward to in 2023, I think there is one more, and that is the pure electric “Jimmy” from Baojun KiWi.
Judging from the official preview image, the new car should be positioned as a small pure electric SUV model, and the exterior design of the new car will adopt the square shape commonly used in hard-core off-road. The angular appearance looks very powerful.
Previously, the exterior patent drawing of the new car has also been exposed. It can be seen that the new car will adopt a two-door four-seater design, and the interior will adopt a dual-screen design. Generally speaking, it still has the exquisiteness of KiWi.
Hycan V09
Following Tengshi D9 and Zeekrypton 009, there is another heavyweight MPV – Hycan V09. It does have many highlights, such as the standard configuration of an 800V high-voltage system, equipped with lidar, dual 8155 in the cockpit, etc., which make this model full of gimmicks.
Looking back at the appearance, the MPV of Hycan V09 is also based on the concept car. The design details of the front face and the rear are more mass-produced, and the style is tough and simple. The shape looks more fashionable and dynamic. However, the real vehicle is not equipped with a lidar.
The cockpit is also equipped with four screens, using dual Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips, which can realize multi-screen interconnection.
The Hycan A09 is also equipped with an 800V high-voltage system as standard. The peak charging power of the basic version can reach 158kW, which can be adapted to most fast charging piles on the market and meet the requirements of fast energy replenishment. In addition, a 4C super fast charging solution is also provided, with a peak fast charging power of up to 380kW, a maximum charging time of 5 minutes, and a battery life increased by 200km.
In terms of battery life, the new car is equipped with a high-energy-density nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary lithium battery cell with an energy density of 257wh/kg. The official said that the battery life of the car can reach 750+km.
In terms of intelligent driving, the Hycan V09 is also the first MPV model equipped with lidar. The whole car has 24 sensor hardware, including an equivalent 130-line number lidar*1, an 8MP front-view wide-angle camera*1, and a 2MP rear-view camera* 1, 3MP ultra-clear fisheye surround view camera*4, millimeter wave radar*5, AK2 ultrasonic radar*12.
Edit summary:
A new chapter has begun, and major car companies have begun to make efforts, and various new models will be released one after another. The above are only some of the new cars in 2023. I believe that in this year’s new energy market, there will be more flowers blooming, and major brands will rush forward again. new highs.
For consumers, more choices and more intense introversion are of course more beneficial to consumers, with richer car purchase options, newer technology on the car, more cost-effective configuration prices, etc.
