Electric view

A few days ago, at Huawei's winter flagship new product launch, Huawei released the first model under the AITO brand created in cooperation with Xilix - the Q&I M5. As soon as the new car was unveiled, it triggered a heated discussion, and there were many voices of doubt. So what about the Q&I M5? Is it worth buying?
It's also easy to answer this question. Because the author found that the pre-price of the top of the M5 (four-wheel drive flagship version) is 320,000 yuan, which is very close to the price of the ideal ONE (338,000 yuan) that also adopts the extender hybrid power structure. You know, the sales of the ideal ONE are very good, which shows that it is very popular with consumers.
So, today we will comprehensively compare the price difference of only 18,000 M5 four-wheel drive flagship version and the ideal ONE, look at the selection of the range, which of them is more fragrant?
In addition to the three cylinders, the ideal ONE performance is not good?
At the press conference, Yu Chengdong deliberately stressed that the three-cylinder engine cannot be bought, to illustrate that the four-cylinder engine equipped with the M5 has more advantages. No need to guess, the model that is connotated is the ideal ONE. Because the supply chain is not strong, the ideal ONE chose a 1.2T three-cylinder turbo engine developed by Dongan Power as the range extender, although this engine does not participate in the driving, but because the jitter control is always inferior to the four-cylinder engine, it still has a certain impact on the quality of the driving. The other owner of the Q&I M5 - Cyris is behind a traditional car company, so it is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbo engine independently developed by this traditional car company as a range extender, and on the issue of shaking or not shaking, the Q&I M5 wins.
Unexpectedly, the parameter performance of the two range extenders was reversed. The maximum power of the ideal ONE's 1.2T range extender is 96kW, while the maximum power of the 1.5T range extender of the Inquisitive M5 is 92kW, and both need to add No. 95 gasoline, so don't look at the Range Extender of the Q&I M5 has a large displacement, and it is really not good to do it.
Let's look at the driving system of the two. Both vehicles are equipped with dual motors arranged in the front and rear axles. The difference is that the two motors of the ideal ONE are permanent magnet synchronous motors, while the inverse M5 is an AC asynchronous motor in the front motor and a permanent magnet synchronous motor in the rear motor. The gap between the book data of the two motors is also large, the ideal ONE motor has a comprehensive maximum power of 245kW and a maximum torque of 455N·m, while the motor of the Q&I M5 has a combined maximum power of 365kW and a maximum torque of 675N·m. The difference in parameters is also reflected in the performance, the ideal ONE zero hundred acceleration time is 6.5 seconds, although it looks good, but compared to the Q&I M5, the gap is still very large, because the zero hundred acceleration time of the Q&I M5 is only 4.4 seconds, which can be directly matched with the entry supercar.
Both vehicles are equipped with ternary lithium batteries, the battery capacity of the ideal ONE is 40.5kWh, and the battery capacity of the Q&I M5 is 40kWh, which can be said to be almost the same; and the pure electric mileage of the two vehicles is also very close, under the WLTC working conditions, the official data of the ideal ONE is 155km, and the official data of the M5 of the Q&I is 150km. Considering that the size of the ideal ONE is much larger, it is not necessarily a bad thing to see that the performance is almost the same, especially for electric drive models.
On the whole, although the ideal ONE has the short board of "three cylinders", the gap between the strength of the entire power system and the M5 is not large. Although the performance of the Q&I M5 is stronger, the ideal ONE has kept the bottom line of the mileage with a larger body, so it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, but it gives consumers a chance to choose, pay attention to performance, and definitely choose the M5 of the Q&A, and if you care about the endurance, the advantages of the ideal ONE are greater.
One inch long, one inch strong, the ideal ONE space wins
If in terms of power system, the two cars are chess opponents, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat; then in terms of practicality, the M5 can only be rubbed on the ground by the ideal ONE. Because the two of them are not a level of opponent at all, the M5 is a medium-sized SUV, the ideal ONE is a medium and large SUV, the size gap please see the following table, the gap is not generally large, but quite large.
Not only that, but the seat layout of the two is also different. Thanks to its oversized body size, the ideal ONE opted for a 2+2+2 6-seat layout that makes every passenger more comfortable.
The M5 is a traditional 2+3 5-seat layout. Whether it is the sense of space and comfort of passengers, it is undoubtedly the ideal ONE victory.
However, considering that the price of the Q&I M5 is 18,000 cheaper than the ideal ONE, and the price of the Q&I M5 is still the pre-sale price, it is not allowed to be on sale when it is officially launched, it can be cheaper, the space is smaller, and it is not necessary to sit 6 people at any time.
Q&I M5 has Hongmeng, and the ideal ONE screen is useless
Next, let's move on to the M5's strong project – Intelligence. Because behind the Q&I M5 stands Huawei, a technology tycoon who can independently develop an operating system, the intelligence of the Q&I M5 is arranged clearly. It is equipped with the Hongmeng intelligent cockpit developed by Huawei, with a large central control screen with a size of 15.6 inches as the core, first of all, the screen has a good look and feel, and then the built-in Hongmeng system has a very cool function, clear logic, with the built-in Kirin 9 series chips, the operation of the entire system is very smooth. In addition, the M5 also has a variety of Huawei ecological chain accessories in the car, such as its USB charging port supports 66W fast charging, wireless charging board also supports 40W power; moreover, the most important thing is that its audio uses the speaker provided by Huawei SOUND, which has a high-power output, and the overall sound quality performance is not comparable to that of ordinary models.
In contrast, the ideal ONE is a complete younger brother in this regard. In order to reflect the sense of science and technology, the ideal ONE without too much confidence can only be a strong stack of screens, there are three pieces on the center console alone, namely a 12.3-inch LCD instrument, a 16.2-inch central control screen and a 10.1-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, in addition, the central control control panel also uses a touch screen. Don't look at the size of the ideal ONE's central control screen is very large, but because it is pulled very long, the display area is obviously not up to the large screen of the M5. Not only that, the performance of the entire smart car machine is not very good, first of all, the look and feel of the screen, perhaps there is little experience in creating digital products, the glare of the screen is more serious, in the strong light environment, it is difficult to see the screen. The system can not be compared with Hongmeng, which can interconnect with a variety of smart devices, but fortunately, it still supports the mainstream car machine function, intelligent voice, online navigation, online music and other functions can be supported. Just this 10.1-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, I really did not understand, now who does not have a smart phone, but also need to use the entertainment screen on the car? Not to mention that the size of this entertainment screen is not large, and the look and feel is not very good. Some people say that this screen can tease children, but the traffic law clearly stipulates that children under the age of 12 cannot sit in the co-pilot; well, when parking for leisure, you have to hold a child and sit in the co-pilot and let him watch cartoons, then I have nothing to say.
『 Write at the end 』
Although the price of the same range extender hybrid model is also very close, the target group of the M5 and the ideal ONE is obviously inconsistent. Ideal ONE is very suitable for large family users, for large space and comfort has a higher demand, and in order to meet the needs of such users, ideal ONE does not over-pursue performance, but in the performance and mileage between the compromise program, at the same time, the weak intelligent performance is not valued by such users, plus it is oilable and electric, no mileage anxiety characteristics, therefore, deeply loved by consumers. The crowd facing the M5 is more like a technology geek, first of all, the absolute pursuit of performance, the ability to break through 4.4 seconds, directly into the threshold of high-performance cars; the powerful Hongmeng intelligent cockpit not only performs well on the car machine, but also can be efficiently interconnected with devices such as smart phones, tablets, smart homes, etc., which can meet the intelligent lifestyle that technology experts want, as for the characteristics of oilable and electric, it is only a transition program in the stage of pure electric technology that has not yet been perfected.
So, after reading this article, do you know that when you choose extender hybrid, should you choose the world M5 or the ideal ONE?
