From late July to early August, the car market has welcomed a number of newly launched vehicles. Among the models that have already been launched, some have performed well in terms of sales, such as the Geely Galaxy E5 and the BYD Song L DM-i, which have already received more than ten thousand new orders within a week of their launch. Of course, there are also some new cars that have not yet announced their large order data, and it seems that the short-term new orders are not very optimistic. So, are these recently launched new cars worth buying at the current price? Let's look at the recommendation index from "Illustrated Auto".

Shenlan S07: Recommendation Index ★★★

With a guided price of 149,900 to 212,900 yuan, the Shenlan S07 was officially launched last week. The Shenlan S07 is a facelift model of the Shenlan S7, and the new car has minor adjustments in appearance compared to the Shenlan S7, and the comfort configuration has also been upgraded. The range extender model remains unchanged, and the battery has been upgraded to a 3C fast-charging battery pack in addition to adding a 39-degree large battery pack, which speeds up the charging speed and also slightly improves the endurance. In addition, the Shenlan S07 also offers a smart driving version equipped with Huawei's Qian Kun ADS SE visual smart driving system.

At present, the Shenlan S07 has no other discounts except for an official discount of 10,000 yuan and a replacement subsidy, and the price is relatively firm. In terms of improvements, the improvements of the Shenlan S07 compared to the old model are not very significant, especially in the most core range extender and car machine chip, but the guided price is indeed more expensive than the old model, especially after the introduction of the new national subsidy rules, the price of the Shenlan S07 appears to be more expensive.

Looking at the terminal sales volume of the Shenlan brand last week, the new orders of the Shenlan S07 are not very optimistic, and the brand's weekly sales volume has also declined compared to before the release of the Shenlan S07.

In terms of current car purchase rights and interests, "Illustrated Auto" believes that the Shenlan S07 still needs to be observed, and it is expected that there will be a larger right and interest in the fourth quarter. Of course, if it is an urgent need for a car or if there is an old car that meets the national three scrap standards, the Shenlan S07 can be purchased.

Galaxy E5: Recommendation Index ★★★☆

The limited-time preferential guide price of 109,800 to 145,800 yuan, Geely Galaxy E5 has been launched. The limited-time preferential guide price of the Galaxy E5 will last until October 1st of this year, in other words, the car purchase rights and interests of the Galaxy E5 will not change before October. As for whether the car purchase rights and interests will change after October, it depends on the sales performance in August and September.At present, the new order data for the Galaxy E5 is quite good. Third-party data shows that within 96 hours of the Galaxy E5's market launch, new orders have already exceeded 15,000 units, indicating that the market still recognizes this car.

Currently, there are quite a few compact pure electric SUVs available in the 100,000 yuan price range. In addition to the popular BYD Yuan PLUS and AION Y, there are models like the Nezha X, the Arcfox KOLA S, and the upcoming Deep Blue S05. The Galaxy E5 doesn't have many highlights in terms of appearance, but the interior texture has shown the potential to surpass its class. The Meizu car machine system is also a plus, and these two highlights are enough to offset the minor shortcomings of the Galaxy E5's power system.

Overall, the Galaxy E5's comprehensive performance under the current price is acceptable. Considering that it will not introduce more significant car purchase rights in the short term, the "Illustrated Automobile" believes that if there is a car purchase budget of about 100,000 yuan and an urgent need for a car, the Galaxy E5 is worth considering.

Nezha X: Recommendation Index ★★★☆

Just mentioned the Galaxy E5, and here comes the new Nezha X. The new Nezha X's guide price is 89,800-124,800 yuan, much cheaper than the Galaxy E5, with a range of 400-500 kilometers, and the entry threshold has been reduced by 10,000 yuan compared to the 2024 model.

The new Nezha X has not changed much in terms of appearance, interior, and power, mainly upgrading the configuration, such as heat pump air conditioning, electric tailgate, driver's seat memory and welcome, wireless phone charging, and other configurations. The idea of the facelift is to increase the quantity without increasing the price, and the overall configuration level has been improved.

The sales of Nezha X in the first half of this year were not very satisfactory, barely breaking through the 10,000 mark. After the new model is launched, it is expected to attract more new users through the increase in configuration.

The new Nezha X currently does not have any cash discounts or car purchase rights, and it is expected that the price will be relatively firm in the short term. In terms of the current price, the new Nezha X is quite friendly to consumers with a limited car purchase budget. The power system and overall configuration are above the basic line of the same level, but the passive safety configuration is not satisfactory, and there is no big problem with urban commuting.

2025 BYD Seagull: Recommendation Index ★★★★The 2025 BYD Seagull has officially hit the market at the beginning of the month, with a total of three models launched, priced between 69,800 and 85,800 yuan. As a minor facelift model of the year, the exterior design of the 2025 BYD Seagull has not changed much, mainly optimizing and upgrading in terms of vehicle configuration. It is worth mentioning that the "BUILD YOUR DREAMS" logo at the rear of the new Seagull has been upgraded to a more concise BYD logo, which has greatly improved the visual experience.

As the best-selling sedan in the first half of 2024, the BYD Seagull, with a cumulative sales volume of 167,800 units in half a year, has become the preferred model in the new energy sedan market of 60,000-80,000 yuan. Sales are the best word of mouth, and it can be said to have reached the level of "buy blindly", and even you can rush directly without thinking, because it is difficult to find a better and more worry-free model in the same level.

Chery Fengyun T10: Recommendation Index ★★☆

Chery Fengyun's new energy series, the large SUV Fengyun T10, has been on the market for some time. The new car has launched three configuration models, with a price range of 189,900 to 229,900 yuan, and a cash benefit of 2,000 yuan deposit offsetting 10,000 yuan final payment, which is equivalent to a cash discount of 8,000 yuan.

Fengyun T10 is a large battery plug-in hybrid model, with a CLTC pure electric range of 200km and 210km, and a comprehensive range of over 1400km, which can be compared with some mainstream range-extended SUVs on the market. In addition, Fengyun T10 has also launched a six-seat version with a 2+2+2 layout, which is also quite suitable for family use.

However, in terms of price, Fengyun T10 is not very competitive. Users with insufficient budget can directly look at Fengyun T9, and users with a budget of about 200,000 yuan, there are BYD Tang, Dongfeng Yipai eπ008 to choose from, and some users may even go back to look at Xingji Yuan ET, after all, the latter has a higher brand positioning and more solid materials.

In terms of the current pricing, Tu Shuo Auto believes that Chery Fengyun T10 can be observed for the time being, and it can wait until the fourth quarter of this year to see if there are bigger discounts. It doesn't matter if there are no better ones, and the buyer's market will not leave any regrets for missing a car.BYD Song L DM-i: Recommendation Index ★★★★

On the same day as the launch of the Deep Blue S07 and the Chery Fengyun T10, the BYD Song PLUS/L DM-i has a guide price ranging from 135,800 to 175,800 RMB. After the launch, many people said it was expensive, but they were secretly willing to pay faster than anyone else. Third-party sales data show that, as of last week, the orders for BYD Song L DM-i have already exceeded 20,000 units, which should be considered the best-selling model among the four SUVs launched on July 25th.

Although the BYD Song L DM-i does not have a strong price advantage, it is very competitive when sold at the same price as the 2025 BYD Song PLUS DM-i. With updated exterior, interior, and configurations, it seems more attractive than the 2025 BYD Song PLUS DM-i, and it is expected that the orders will continue to rise.

Considering BYD's current sales trend and its consistent discount strategy, the price of the Song L DM-i will remain firm in the short term. Users with urgent needs can just go for it blindly, as it is difficult to find a more cost-effective and competitive model at this price point.
