Previously, as a new high-end new energy vehicle brand jointly created by Xilis and Huawei, aito AutoMotive M5 has been officially released before, and the new car is positioned in a new energy medium-sized luxury SUV. The car is based on the pure electric drive extended range platform DE-i, which has a 4-second 0-100km/h acceleration experience and a range of more than 1000km. This time we have the opportunity to experience the car statically again, let's see how strong this car is.
In the appearance part, the shape of the M5 is somewhat similar to the Cyrus SF5, and the overall style belongs to a very sporty design. The front of the car still adopts the fully enclosed design used by new energy vehicles, and the sharp lines make the front of the car look very combative.
The lower part of the front of the car adopts a black horizontal grille design, although the interior adopts a fully enclosed design, but for consumers who are accustomed to the traditional fuel vehicle modeling, such a design is obviously more pleasing, and its bright black design looks very imposing.
The shape of the headlights is basically the same as that of the Cyrus SF5, the design of the quad looks very sharp, and its interior also uses a full LED light source. The daytime running lights located under the headlights are more like two "fangs", adding a lot of fierce feeling to the front of the car.
The side of the M5 uses a double waist line design, the upper waist line runs from the front fender to the rear door, and the more convex lower waist line has the front door to the rear door, and the combination of the two waist lines makes the side of the new car look more three-dimensional and more layered. Due to the more luxurious positioning, the rim shape of the Q&I M5 is more atmospheric, and the two-color fan-type chrome rim is very graded.
The design of the rear of the car is even more "Xilis", still equipped with through taillights, and the black trim in the center of shanghai is inlaid with the new brand "AITO" words. The lines of the entire rear of the car are quite simple, which is also very much in line with the avant-garde design orientation of the new car.
Compared with the appearance, the interior design has no shadow of "Cyris", and the interior design of the vehicle is obviously more classy than the material race R&SF5. A large number of soft materials and silver brushed material trim strips make the entire interior look very textured, and the full LCD instrument and suspension central control screen also add a lot of technology to the vehicle.
Surrounded independent cockpit design, the center console is distributed in a "T" shape, and the symmetrical wood grain decoration and hidden air conditioning outlet are extended left and right, which are naturally connected to the sub-instrument panel. The center console is equipped with a 10.4-inch curved full LCD instrument panel and a 15.6-inch semi-suspended central control screen, which makes the cockpit full of technology.
In the atmosphere light part, the new car supports RGB 128 color ambience lights, built-in three modes of rising sun, sea breeze and rhythm, the future system will be upgraded through OTA, in the process of vehicle acceleration / deceleration, automatically adjust the brightness and shade of the ambience light.
This set of HarmonyOS smart cockpit adopts intelligent background control and memory allocation VIP scheduling scheme, which makes the operation and operation of the entire car and machine system extremely smooth, and the performance in frame loss rate and response delay is better than the industry average. In the car application part, the M5 is pre-installed including petal map, Huawei music, Huawei video, kugou, himalaya, pocket story, Youku, thunderstone and so on.
In the voice assistant part, Q&I M5 brings intelligent voice assistant "Xiaoyi", and supports "continuous dialogue", "visual speaking", "intelligent recognition of four-tone area", "dialect recognition" and so on. In addition, it also has intelligent environment awareness, intelligent position perception, intelligent scene awareness, fatigue driving detection and other functions.
Q&I M5 integrates Huawei's face recognition service FRS (Face Recognition Service) and Huawei's in-app payment IAP (In-App Purchases Kit), breaking through the traditional mobile phone scan code payment method, and users can complete payment through face recognition verification. In the future, users can also use the exterior camera to scan the QR code of the parking lot, and cooperate with the face payment function in the cockpit to achieve rapid payment and improve the payment experience.
The new car's seats are equipped with first-class seats, which use Nappa leather materials, which are quite tactile and visual. The front seats are equipped with seat heating and seat ventilation, and the rear seats are also thoughtfully equipped with seat heating.
The M5 has also worked hard in the NVH section, with double-layer laminated acoustic glass on both front and rear windows, while 80% of the body floor is sprayed with LASD liquid acoustic damping material. AITO also invited Renault NVH chief experts to create professional road noise control technologies in the fields of tire optimization, suspension comfort and handling balance tuning, exterior shape structure optimization, wind noise and other fields.
The car is also equipped with HUAWEI SOUND sound system, with 19 unit audio, 7.1 surround sound field and 1200W peak power, with Huawei music, Huawei video multi-channel audio and video content, so that you can get live performance in the car.
In terms of power, the M5 will be equipped with a range extender power system, and its 1.5T range extender has a compression ratio of 15:1, thermal efficiency of 41%, and power generation efficiency of 3.2kW·h/L. In addition, the front axle of the new car is equipped with SEP165 asynchronous AC motor, the rear axle is equipped with Huawei HW150 permanent magnet synchronous motor, forming a dual-motor four-wheel drive scheme, the maximum power of the front motor is 165kW, the peak torque is 420N·m, the maximum power of the rear motor is 150kW, and the peak torque is 300N·m; the official announcement of the new car accelerates from 100 kilometers to 4.65 seconds.
In the endurance section, the new car is equipped with a battery pack with a capacity of 40kWh, a pure electric WLTC range of 150 km, and a WLC range of the new car with a range extender can reach 1000 km.
In terms of driving assistance, the M5 is equipped with 1 high-perception camera, 3 millimeter wave radars, 4 surround view cameras, and 8 ultrasonic radars. This allows the new car to achieve L2 level driver assistance functions.
With the change of automobile sales methods, more and more manufacturers will choose direct operation, and a large number of experience stores in the business circle will assume the sales responsibilities of the original 4S stores. In this regard, Huawei has a natural advantage, and this time the M5 has been displayed in 180 Huawei stores in 42 cities since December 23, 2021, and has opened test drives in 500 Huawei stores in 118 cities since January 20, 2022.
Thanks to the number of existing Huawei authorized dealers, can AITO cars quickly build up their own store networks, so that more consumers can experience the M5 at close range, such a huge advantage is not available to many car brands, in addition, the configuration of the new car is also quite bright, especially with the blessing of harmonyOS smart cockpit, so that the new car has truly become a node in the Internet of Everything. For the power part, it is really difficult to say how long the vitality of this form of increased range is really difficult to say, at least at this stage it can still solve the pain points of some new energy vehicles, and consumers with high requirements for quality may wish to pay attention to the M5.
