Under the wave of new energy, all car companies are transforming to new energy, in addition to enterprises such as Wei Xiaoli, who have entered the game from outside, traditional car companies are also transforming into the intelligent electric vehicle industry. For example, Geely Automobile incubated Extreme Krypton, Dongfeng hatched Lantu, Changan brought Avita, and the Great Wall brought a mecha dragon. Similarly, BAIC BJEV has also brought the Jihu brand.
As a veteran player in China's new energy market, BAIC BJEV can be said to be one of the earliest auto brands to lay out new energy, and even in the past few years from 2016 to 2018, it once created an era of double dominance in China's new energy vehicle market with BYD.
Different from the style of other brands, the Jihu brand adopts a three-way co-creation model, specifically, it has BAIC BJEV's Sandian technology, Magna's car manufacturing process, and Huawei's intelligent technology, bringing consumers a different product experience.
In the past few days, the editor of the electric colt test drove the Polar Fox Alpha T and shared a few test driving experiences with you. There are many reports on the market about this car, not much nonsense, directly on the dry goods.
There are many highlights of this car, here are mainly to share with you 3 aspects:
1, first of all, the static aspect is the sense of luxury. The exterior and interior are the most direct embodiment.
From the outside, it feels closer to the new forces. The front face is very sharp, and it is very in tune with the brand's name, especially the headlight group, like the eyes of a fox. Like Tesla and Xiaopeng, it gives people a strong sense of technology. And it's very recognizable.
Coming to the side, the Alpha T highlights the sense of sportiness, the feeling of a muscular man, and the lines are very clear. Two parallel waist lines wrap the body together, which is very tense.
Coming to the rear, the rear tail of the Alpha T shows a distinct wide-body effect, and with the through-taillights, the whole car looks very atmospheric.
In the interior part, I feel that Alpha T gives people the feeling of being delicate in science fiction.
The cool triple screen reveals a sense of science fiction, especially when lit at night, with the atmosphere light through the tunnel, giving people a feeling of traveling through the time tunnel. Most of the functions in the car are concentrated in the screen, and some functions such as wireless charging of mobile phones will increase the sense of technology in the vehicle.
Refinement is the advantage of the traditional car company background, there are many examples, such as atmosphere lights, patterns on speakers, including the embellishment of door handles. It will make people feel that every detail is handled very carefully, and the most direct visible to the naked eye is that the stitches of the seat look very delicate and delicate.
2, the dynamic part, with a generalization: stable as a rock.
One of the most criticized points of the new forces is the driving level, such as control, stability and so on. This has always been where they are very taboo. The Polar Fox Alpha T, which has a traditional background, clearly does not have such a problem. Moreover, it also has the world's top supplier Magna for chassis tuning.
The dynamic feeling of alpha T, I think it is more appropriate to describe it as rock-solid, I try to test its dynamic performance in various situations, such as accelerating overtaking, high-speed cornering, etc. In general, if the car is high-speed when the curve is turned, the vehicle rolls too much, and the driver actually does not dare to add a larger throttle, but the Alpha T will give the driver a strong confidence to make some bolder decisions to release personal adrenaline. Because it provides more rapid power when you overtake, it will provide better stability when you are cornering at high speeds.
3. Intelligent technology: the inner son of the new forces
For a long time, intelligent technology has been considered a must for new forces to subvert traditional car companies. But in fact, for many traditional car companies in transition, their performance is not weak. I didn't have much hope for its smart technology before I test drove the Alpha T, after all, there are other cases of traditional car companies pulling crotches, but it did give me some small surprises. There are two main points to be made here:
The first is smart cockpit technology. It has an automatic memory function, and the vehicle will automatically adjust to the position set last time it is turned on.
The car has a very cool triple screen, and almost all functions can be done through voice control. As far as voice control is concerned, it has 3 advantages: 1, first of all, the function is complete, almost all the functions can be completed by voice wake-up; 2, natural semantic recognition, you tell it that you are cold, it will automatically help you turn on the air conditioner, not necessarily to say that the air conditioner is turned on; 3, speech recognition is very accurate, even when playing music, you suddenly call it, it can respond to your instructions very positively.
Of course, if the recognition time is prolonged a little, and you don't have to wake up every time, it's perfect.
This is followed by advanced assisted driving. Officially, alpha T de assisted driving system can reach L2 level, basic one key to open, it will automatically complete the car, acceleration, deceleration, turning and other operations. There is no need for the tedious process of traditional car companies, adaptive and lane keeping functions are separated, and the speed is constantly set, alpha only needs to gently flick the lever on the steering wheel twice, and people can easily hand over the vehicle to drive. The auto-following car, the brakes are very smooth, there is no such thing as a very stiff feeling.
This is thanks to its very luxurious sensor configuration, which is able to better detect the external environment. At the software level, this advanced driver assistance system comes from Huawei and has a very high degree of intelligence. It is worth mentioning that with the continuous advancement of Huawei technology, the later stage of the vehicle can also continue to upgrade the function.
This car is summed up in one sentence, both the foundation of traditional car companies and the new forces of car manufacturing.
