The platform architecture of the vehicle has been mentioned by more and more media and netizens in recent years, and I believe that many car enthusiasts are confused by the connotation of the vehicle platform. As an automobile manufacturer, why do we always put the development and application of the platform architecture in the first place? This is because the platform architecture of the vehicle is like the parent body of the car, only the platform architecture is reliable, and the various models derived from it will continue the mother gene and become high-quality products, for which major car companies will invest a lot of money and manpower to develop their own vehicle platform architecture. In this regard, Beijing Hyundai is very representative, its i-GMP platform, in all aspects have shown outstanding comprehensive quality, its derived types of models are naturally more competitive.
Get to know the i-GMP platform for the first time
The i-GMP platform currently applied by Beijing Hyundai is its third-generation version, known as the innocent-Global Modular Architecture Platform, which literally translates to "innovative global modular architecture platform". From the naming alone, it can be seen that the Beijing Hyundai i-GMP platform takes globalization and modularity as the main cornerstone to build its own diversified product dimensions, so how do we understand globalization and modularity?
After beijing hyundai applies a global platform, it can make its own products highly consistent with overseas models to ensure the same quantity and quality, providing consumers with better car purchase options. The idea of modularization is the pearl in the history of human industrial manufacturing. The so-called modularity means that the i-GMP platform can have better component compatibility, and any design can be combined by prefabricated accessories with high versatility. This can not only greatly improve the production efficiency of manufacturers, but also greatly reduce development and manufacturing costs because of the versatility of parts, thereby reducing the price of the vehicle, so that consumers can benefit, so as to achieve a win-win situation.
What are the features of the i-GMP platform?
What are the characteristics of the Beijing Hyundai i-GMP platform? What surprises can it bring to consumers? First of all, the i-GMP platform has five core advantages in terms of technology: more friendly design, safer collision, better energy efficiency, more sporty handling, and more comfortable space, which can greatly improve the overall performance of the vehicle. For example, in terms of comfort, it makes the model more ergonomic through a more scientific and reasonable sitting design and internal structure layout, so that consumers can feel comfortable and happy when driving.
In terms of safety, the i-GMP platform regards "safety first" as the first priority, and increases the average strength of the platform by more than 10% by adopting multiple force transfer path structure design and hot stamping formed high-strength steel. At the same time, it improves the violent shaking of the vehicle during the small-area offset impact, effectively reduces the secondary injury to the passenger after the collision, even if the vehicle is unfortunately involved in an accident, it can also support the safety space for the occupants of the car and reduce the probability of personal accident injury.
In the face of youthfulness, the i-GMP platform still has a lot of housekeeping skills
These characteristics are actually the basic advantages of the i-GMP platform, which are very practical and intimate for all users. But as China's auto market becomes younger, and a new generation of consumers consider more when buying a car, how is the i-GMP platform doing in this regard? Let's start with the conclusion – it's very friendly to young Chinese consumers for the following reasons:
Young people generally pay attention to the driving experience of the vehicle when buying a car, and it is difficult for ordinary models without fun to win the hearts of young people. The i-GMP platform understands the importance of driving pleasure by optimizing the weight configuration of the body and reducing the inertia torque to improve the sport performance; and its steering rack center position is closer to the center of the axle, which can achieve more agile handling performance; in addition, the i-GMP platform also increases the main sales recline design, greatly improving the vehicle's driving trackability, improving the impact when passing through bumpy roads, and making the vehicle full of driving pleasure.
Nowadays, all cities have policy support and inclination for new energy vehicles, and young people are more likely to be able to buy suitable new energy models, which can not only reduce the cost of cars, but also have a higher attendance rate than oil cars. At this time, another advantage of the i-GMP platform also appears, which is not only suitable for oil vehicles, but also has good compatibility with new energy models. For it, it is compatible with various forms of energy drive, and consumers can always buy a variety of products with stronger comprehensive strength and were born on the i-GMP platform, curing people's choice difficulties in minutes.
I believe that everyone has a full and comprehensive understanding of Beijing Hyundai's i-GMP platform. At present, the i-GMP platform has given birth to the fifth generation of Tucson L series models, the tenth generation of Sonata, the seventh generation of Elantra and other major sales models, and in the following years there will be more new cars to meet the majority of consumers. The wide application of the Beijing Hyundai i-GMP platform has brought the gospel to the majority of automobile consumers while its own products have a stronger competitive strength.
