A | The automotive experts at Edmunds test SUVs of all shapes, sizes and prices. During these evaluations, certain models rise to the top with qualities such as roomy seating and cargo areas, a comfortable ride, and easy-to-use touchscreens and technology features. But with many prospective buyers looking to make every dollar count, it’s important to consider value as well.Working with a budget cap of $40,000, Edmunds picked five SUVs to highlight. Some have city-friendly proportions that take the stress out of parking in tight spots, while others have cavernous cargo holds and handy third-row seating. They are listed below in order of price, which includes the destination charge.2024 MAZDA CX-50The Mazda CX-50 small SUV earns a spot in this list thanks to its driving refinement and upscale cabin. From inside it’s not hard to believe that you’re behind the wheel of a luxury-badged model. The design is first-rate and the seats are supportive in either row. The CX-50 rides a bit more firmly over bumps than other SUVs, but in return it has stable handling and is enjoyable to zip around town in or take out on a scenic drive. All-wheel drive is standard on every trim, as are driver assist features such as lane keeping assistance, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning. A 186-horsepower four-cylinder serves as this Mazda’s capable and budget-minded base engine. There’s an optional turbo four-cylinder that’s more powerful, but it nudges the price at or above a $40,000 spending limit.Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price: $31,6752023 KIA SORENTOThe Kia Sorento is a compelling choice for shoppers wanting a low-priced seven-passenger SUV. Its third-row seating area is smaller than those of bigger models — such as the Hyundai Palisade listed below — but it is still suitable for occasional use for kids. Most of the Sorento’s trim levels come well stocked with helpful convenience and technology features.There is a choice of a fuel-conscious, non-turbocharged 191-horsepower four-cylinder engine or a punchier 281-horsepower turbo-four available in higher trims. And it’s possible to opt for the more powerful engine and keep the Sorento’s price well below $40,000. A Sorento Hybrid is also available for shoppers seeking higher fuel economy. Starting MSRP: $31,4152024 HONDA CR-VThe Honda CR-V is about as well rounded as a small SUV can get. It delivers a smooth and comfortable ride, great outward visibility, and loads of cargo space. Fuel economy is another plus point. The CR-V’s base 190-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder gets up to an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined, or you can opt for the 204-hp hybrid powertrain that gets up to 40 mpg combined. Thanks to its recent redesign for the 2023 model year, the interior of the CR-V is attractive and functional. Picking the midgrade EX-L trim stays under our budget limit and still gets you some upscale features such as leather upholstery, a power liftgate and a bigger center touchscreen. Starting MSRP: $30,8252024 SUBARU OUTBACKThe Subaru Outback is ideal for SUV shoppers who want a vehicle that’s suitable for occasional off-road adventures. Thanks to its standard all-wheel drive and generous ground clearance, the midsize Outback has above-average capability on dirt roads or rocky trails. The Outback’s wagon-like shape also makes it easier to load recreational gear or cargo on the roof.Acceleration from the Outback’s standard 182-horsepower four-cylinder can be slow when you need a burst of speed on the highway, but in exchange the Outback gets a respectable EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined. A more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder is also available, though it exceeds our budget cap.Starting MSRP: $30,1902024 HYUNDAI PALISADEThe three-row Hyundai Palisade is the most expensive SUV among Edmunds’ choices here, and the majority of trims are priced beyond a $40,000 budget. But it’s important to know even the base Palisade is equipped with a long roster of tech features and driving aids. Highlights include a big 12.3-inch center touchscreen, first- and second-row USB ports, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning.All Palisades come with a 291-horsepower V6 engine that delivers acceptable acceleration and fuel economy. Despite its relatively large size, the Palisade is relaxing to drive and easy to maneuver. Also worth noting is its third-row seating has ample space even for adults, which is a rarity among many midsize SUVs. Starting MSRP: $37,735_______This story was provided to The Associated Press by the automotive website Edmunds.Nick Kurczewski is a contributor at Edmunds and is on Twitter and Instagram。

B | 10月13日,中国移动、中国联通、中国电信三大运营商“全线开闸”,正式获批开展eSIM手机商用试验,试点范围覆盖全国31个省(自治区、直辖市),用户无需实体SIM卡即可完成网络注册。

C | 此前,苹果公司宣布iPhone Air国行版将于10月22日正式发售,该机型为国内首款仅支持eSIM的智能手机。

D | 京东10月17日数据显示,iPhone Air在预售阶段创下1秒成交额破亿元的纪录。在此带动下,华为、OPPO等国内厂商称将陆续推出eSIM手机。

E | eSIM手机大规模商用箭在弦上。从设计、制造到封装、测试,如何实现国产供应仍“等米下锅”。记者近日联系多家封测厂商了解到,他们并不直接面对终端厂商,国产eSIM芯片如何供应,要向紫光国微(002049.SZ)、通富微电(002156.SZ)等了解。 10月20日,紫光国微证券部人士在电话中向《每日经济新闻》记者表示,公司eSIM卡芯片技术成熟,可兼容全球400多家运营商,但国内最终能选择多少家运营商接入,合作方究竟是运营商还是手机厂商,商业合作模式目前仍待明确。 有消息称,iPhone Air的eSIM芯片核心供应商为环旭电子,但该说法被公司否认。10月20日,环旭电子(601231.SH)证券部人士在电话中向《每日经济新闻》记者称,公司业务与苹果无关联。“部分应用于智能穿戴的SiP模组中集成有eSIM功能,未有独立的eSIM模组应用于客户的端侧产品。” “无卡时代”来临,国产eSIM芯片供应进程到哪了? 近日,《每日经济新闻》记者联系多家涉eSIM芯片业务厂商,多数人士向记者表示,eSIM手机商用试验开启不久,此前有物联网eSIM业务经验,未曾应用于手机,但会持续关注这方面的机会。 国内eSIM应用于智能手机处于起步阶段。过去十多年,国内相关政策曾积极推动eSIM技术落地,并经历了探索、试点、暂停、重启四个阶段。

F | 2015年起,中国联通率先启动eSIM技术研发。

G | 2017年,中国移动推出了全球尺寸最小的eSIM NB-IoT通信模组。

H | 随后,国内eSIM应用从可穿戴设备扩展至物联网领域。不过,2023年,三大运营商以“业务维护升级”为由,同步暂停了eSIM一号双终端业务及独立eSIM卡办理申请,国内eSIM市场陷入停滞状态。

I | eSIM产业链中的芯片设计、封测、终端制造及配套材料企业的业务进展也受到了影响。 紫光国微是国内首家实现eSIM全球商用的芯片商,公司已成功推出并量产多款符合GSMA(全球移动通信系统协会)及国内通信标准的eSIM产品。 公司证券部人士向记者介绍,公司在eSIM芯片业务上已有销售,主要分为两类场景:一是在手机端,仅在国外市场销售;二是在非手机类应用场景中,国内已有使用案例。

J | 今年9月22日,华大电子官网发文称:“公司与全球领先的eSIM服务商Valid联合宣布,双方共同开发的SGP.22V2.5eSIM操作系统(OS)已全面通过GSMA eUICC Security Assurance(eSA)认证。

K | 这一重大技术突破将赋能全球设备制造商,为用户提供无缝、安全的eSIM体验。” 即便此前未在国内有过落地案例,但相关厂商正在积极关注eSIM可能带来的巨大机遇。 10月17日,新恒汇(301678.SZ)证券部人士向记者称,公司会关注eSIM市场需求变化,积极开发新技术、新工艺,努力扩大市场份额。 10月19日,长电科技(600584.SH)芯片封测技术专家向《每日经济新闻》记者表示,长电科技具备行业领先的圆片级芯片封装(WLCSP)等先进封装技术,并积累了丰富的量产工程经验和全球交付能力,可应用于eSIM卡芯片相关封装领域。 “公司看好eSIM领域的市场机会,愿与相关合作伙伴一起,不断推动移动终端产品朝着更轻薄、更智能、体验更优的方向发展。”上述封测技术专家表示。

L | 国内企业“等米下锅”:技术成熟,如何合作仍待明确 eSIM手机芯片国产供应核心并非在于技术,而是新商业模式下eSIM如何嵌入手机的相关协议与细则。 紫光国微证券部人士向记者介绍,直接对接的客户究竟是手机厂商、运营商或是其他方,均未确定,需由工信部及运营商主导明确运营模式后,才能确定最终合作方案。公司eSIM卡芯片技术成熟,可兼容全球400多家运营商,但国内最终能选择多少家运营商接入,合作方究竟是运营商还是手机厂商,仍待清晰。

M | “我们得等相关细则出来,才能确定国内手机端eSIM芯片的供应方案。毕竟现在连合作对象都没法确定,更谈不上具体的出货和订单了。

N | ”上述人士向记者表示。 在推动eSIM业务上,三大运营商的行动策略存在一些差异。中国移动明确提出开展eSIM芯片与操作系统的国产化技术攻关,研究开发功能更强、更加安全的eSIM终端和芯片。

o | 中国联通称,公司始终引领eSIM技术应用与创新。自2015年启动技术研发,2018年国内推出eSIM可穿戴业务,再到陆续获得物联网、笔记本与平板类业务许可,已累计适配终端75款,服务用户规模突破数百万。未来将继续与产业链各方携手,共建开放、协同、共赢的eSIM产业生态。

p | 中国电信称,将携手产业链合作伙伴,共建“开放、协同、共赢”的eSIM产业开放生态,共同推动通信行业终端形态革新、服务模式重构、产业生态升级。 10月20日消息,苹果公司无线软件技术与生态系统副总裁Arun Mathias及无线技术团队成员Anjali Jotwani近日在接受国内媒体采访时明确表示,未来将在中国大陆市场推出eSIM快速转换功能(eSIM Quick Transfer)。 国产芯片能否接得住市场需求,关乎国内通信产业新一轮发展的无卡之战,尚待启幕。
