Technical advantages, AION LX Plus hardware configuration can be called the strongest in the same class, for intelligent driving equipped with the number of hardware reached 35, including 6 millimeter wave radar, 3 second-generation intelligent zoom lidar, 12 ultrasonic radar, 8 automatic driving HD cameras, 4 surround view cameras and 2 independent high-precision positioning modules.
The second generation of intelligent zoom lidar detection distance of up to 250m, environmental perception refresh rate in the 10 ~ 30Hz dynamic adjustment, these 35 sensors become the "eyes" of the driver assistance system, for the plug, ghost probe and other situations have a stronger resilience.
The unique HOD+DMS can achieve dual monitoring, monitoring whether the driver is holding the steering wheel at any time, whether there is distraction or drowsiness, and reminding it through the indicator light and voice after discovery.
In the urban road section, intelligent autonomous lane change, traffic light left and right turn, turn around, roundabout traffic and other scenes can be realized, and the over-the-horizon summoning parking function can realize all-scenario parking under the ground, basement and non-scribbled parking spaces.
GAC Aeon's original magazine battery system has a high degree of safety, sponge silicon anode plate battery technology for the silicon anode material inlay process of easy expansion, cracking, damage and other issues have been perfectly solved, -20 °C battery capacity retention rate reached 92%, advanced battery technology makes AION LX Plus endurance and safety are the strongest in the same level.
■ Answer the comment
In pure electric models, the endurance of the vehicle is always the most concerned issue for car buyers.
Before the appearance of AION LX Plus, the endurance of more than 600 kilometers has been regarded as a long endurance, the endurance of the Polar Fox Alpha T, Hechuang 007, and The Hongqi E-HS9 has a range of more than 640 kilometers, and the endurance of BYD's new Tang EV has reached 730 kilometers, which is already the leader in the industry.
At present, only AION LX Plus has a battery life of more than 1,000 under CLTC conditions, and such endurance is also the leading level in the world. In addition, the hardware configuration of the car is also the most abundant in the same class, and the high-end auxiliary driving function is unmatched by other models at the same price.
