It continues Xiaomi's family - style design language, with an overall shape leaning towards a sporty crossover SUV. The bullet - shaped headlight group, combined with multiple - lens design, makes the new car's headlights look bright. The large - sized blackened air intake at the lower surround, paired with the "small fang - tooth" shape, is highly sporty. The hidden door handle has a unique design. After unlocking, it can automatically retract into the car door, not only reducing wind resistance but also providing a convenient way to open the door.
 
On the side of the body, the fast - back shape creates a strong sports atmosphere, and the front - end lines are smooth and dynamic. At the rear, the new car, as expected, continues to use Xiaomi's family - style taillights. From a distance, it looks like a widened "concave" shape, with extremely high recognition.

The BYD Tang L, which is expected to be launched in March 2025, adopts a new Longyan design language, reducing unnecessary stepped surfaces, making the entire front - end look more plump. The iconic "dragon beard" lines are highly three - dimensional, extending from the front to the side, not only elongating the visual proportion of the whole vehicle but also full of a sense of strength. The front bumper adopts a double - clamp three - dimensional shape, and the design inspiration of the active air intake grille comes from a folding fan. The headlight group adopts a "square pupil" design, and the Chinese - style taillights restore the bamboo - weaving craftsmanship in traditional Chinese techniques with a tortuous and three - dimensional braided shape, fully demonstrating the charm of Oriental aesthetics.
 
The side - body lines are less prominent. The Tang L adopts hidden door handles and cancels the traditional window - sill trim strips.

Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip and the ZEEKR OS car - machine system, the fluency and intelligence performance of the car - machine are highly anticipated. As for whether there are any detailed changes, it remains to be seen after the launch of the Zeekr 007 GT. In terms of power, it is expected to follow the power system of the current Zeekr 007. The maximum power of the rear - drive single - motor version can reach 310kW, and the 0 - 100km/h acceleration time is 5.4 seconds.
