A few days ago, GAC AION LX PLUS was officially listed, and the guidance price was: 286,660-45.96 million yuan. According to the official introduction, AION LX is the flagship model of GAC Aean, which originally attracted a wave of traffic with excellent NVH, excellent vehicle performance and interior design that conformed to the aesthetics of the Chinese people, so that AION LX received widespread attention at the beginning of the listing, and it also used "helicopter rescue" as a publicity gimmick to attract a wave of traffic.
After the launch of the PLUS car series in AION S, as the big brother of AION LX is naturally not far behind, the same launch of the PLUS model, the biggest highlight is that the car finally broke through the 1000km endurance ceiling, in the CLTC working conditions can reach 1008km, the fastest 100 km acceleration can be 2.9 seconds.
At last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, AION LX PLUS met with us, and the design is believed to be very well understood. The overall shape has not changed drastically from the old model, and the shape and details of the front bar have been improved, the closed area of the front face will be larger, and there will be a zoom lidar on the top of the vehicle, which can be described as arming the equipment to the teeth.
The length, width and height of the vehicle are 4835, 1935 and 1685 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2900 mm. In the body color, two colors of skyline gray and pulse blue have been added, which emphasizes the scientific and technological sense of the vehicle.
Limited by the screen size, AION LX PLUS no longer uses the dual screen design, showing the advantages of the 15.6-inch screen as much as possible, and also adding a hidden air outlet to control the direction and air volume of the air outlet through the screen.
The basis for these functions is the ADIGO 4.0 intelligent networking system equipped with AION LX PLUS, which controls every command inside the vehicle through the Qualcomm 8155 chip, and even realizes functions such as sensorless start, new AR real-world navigation and cockpit monitoring.
ADIGO is the product of the in-depth cooperation between GAC and iFLYTEK, in addition to providing basic intelligent functions, it is unique in speech recognition capabilities, as well as multilingual interaction and dialect recognition, after all, speech recognition is the housekeeping skill of iFLYTEK.
At present, the mainstream lithium battery, most of the use of graphite as a negative electrode material, and AION LX PLUS uses the latest sponge silicon anode plate battery, as the name suggests, is the use of silicon materials to replace the traditional graphite, compared to graphite, silicon can store 9 times more lithium ions than graphite, but the shortcoming is that its structure is not stable enough, after multiple charge and discharge its structure is prone to "deterioration", resulting in a decrease in battery capacity.
In order to solve this problem, gac battery research team through the use of nano-composite silicon technology, adhesive with self-healing and gradient composite coating technology, the short board of silicon one by one to repair, to maintain the stability of the battery structure and the stability of the electrode structure, this new battery technology even applied for more than 50 patents, is gac Aeon exclusive technology.
From the data point of view, the energy density of this battery can reach 205Wh/kg, the capacity can reach 144.4kWh, and the CLTC comprehensive working condition endurance reaches 1008km, which is also the world's first pure electric vehicle with a cruising range of more than 1000km under CLTC conditions.
With a long battery life, of course, there must be enough strong performance. The AION LX PLUS builds on the original, with a new dual-stop dual-motor four-in-one integrated electric drive assembly with a peak power of up to 340kW. The four-wheel drive version of the model that achieves 2.9 seconds of acceleration uses a three-motor assembly, and the comprehensive power reaches 540kw, which seems to be more simple and rough compared to the engine power increase.
Of course, this is not to say that the AION LX PLUS can break through the 100km endurance level while achieving 2.9 seconds of breakthrough acceleration. Achieving 1008km of endurance is the front-drive version of the AION LX PLUS.
Compared with ordinary radar systems, lidar has multiple advantages such as high precision, long distance, wide angle, fast response, etc. At present, some car companies have applied lidar to vehicles and strive to improve vehicle driving assistance capabilities.
AION LX PLUS's lidar comes from Sagitar Juchuang RoboSense, which has a lidar on the roof and the top of the wheel brow, and the official claim can achieve 300 ° cross coverage detection in front of the car, with a maximum detection distance of 250m. In addition to lidar, the AION LX PLUS has 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 12 high-definition cameras, and 2 high-precision positioning modules.
At present, lidar is also facing problems such as high cost and algorithms. With the increase in scale, the efforts of car companies, and the improvement of suppliers, it is believed that car manufacturers (especially independent companies) will have new breakthroughs in assisted driving.
As an autonomous flagship new energy SUV, the functional standard configuration will naturally not be less, such as: electric tail, Bluetooth key, seat heating, seat ventilation, second row backrest adjustment, ADIGO 4.0 system and 15.6-inch display, and even facial recognition, OTA upgrade are standard in the whole series.
After the configuration comparison, the professor recommends the 80D Zhizun version, the convenient configuration available daily, this configuration is the best choice in general, although it is an entry-level model, but the overall endurance is the longest in addition to the thousand mile version, and the 180kW motor will not look like a "weak chicken" when it is opened daily. On the contrary, the configuration of L2-level driver assistance, automatic parking, ADIGO 4.0 system, large-size display screen and so on is also equipped, coupled with the support of state subsidies, which is a cost-effective configuration in the car series.
summary:
The PLUS on the name is not just the size of the PLUS so simple, the technical PLUS is the focus of AION LX PLUS, including silicon anode lithium battery, double-stop dual motor assembly, 3 lidar, high-end auxiliary driving functions are GAC Aean's housekeeping skills, but also reflects GAC Aeon's technical reserves in new energy and forward-looking.
