When you first hear ABOUT AITO, you may have some strangeness, what is it? But if I tell you that it comes from Huawei and Jinkang Cyrus, I think you will wake up when you hear the answer.
At the end of 2021, aiTO, a high-end smart car brand jointly created by Huawei and Cyris, was officially unveiled, and its first model, the Q&E M5, also debuted, ushering in the brightest moment of the day. It is reported that this car is still produced and manufactured by Jinkang Cyris, and Huawei is deeply involved in the whole chain from pre-planning, design, research and development, to sales and service. It can be described as a smart model with Huawei's authentic pedigree and excellent genes.
So for Q&C M5, as the world's leading ICT (information and communication) infrastructure and intelligent terminal provider, how much is Huawei deeply involved? Let's take a closer look.
Performance blessing, ask the world M5 how to open up what it feels like?
The model I test drove this time is AITU Inquisition M5 four-wheel drive performance version (pre-sale after subsidy 280,000 yuan) Due to weather reasons, the venue was covered with thick snow on the same day, so it was in safety considerations, we could only experience a few scenes of test drive, including: straight line acceleration, pile winding, elk test, continuous speed bumps, etc.
Let's take a look at the "strength" of this car. The AITO M5 is equipped with huawei DriveONE pure electric drive range extender platform, which uses a range extender hybrid system from KinconCelex. The range extenders of the three models are 125Ps 4-cylinder 1.5T turbocharged engines, in terms of detailed parameters, the four-wheel drive performance version of the front axle is equipped with an asynchronous AC motor, the maximum power of 165kW, the maximum torque of 420N·m, and the rear axle is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, high power 150kW, maximum torque of 300N·m, so the total power of the new car reached 315kW, equivalent to 428Ps horsepower, and the total torque also reached 720N·m. The official acceleration time is 4.8 seconds per 100 km/h.
It is worth noting that the SOC of the vehicle's power is automatically set according to different driving modes and vehicle modes, of which the maximum power is 70%. However, when fully charged, I feel that there is no difference in driving texture between pure electric priority and fuel priority mode.
Static luxury, how much does the M5 know?
The M5 is built using a very sporty design language, with a large air intake grille at the front of the car with a strong sense of visual impact, while the rear of the car uses a slender through taillight design.
In terms of intelligent driving, AITO Inquisition M5 has L2 level intelligent driving assistance, which integrates 1 visual perception camera, 3 millimeter wave radar, 4 APA cameras, and 12 long-range ultrasonic radars.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts an integrated wrap-around cockpit design, the center console is distributed in a "T" shape, and the left and right extensions are symmetrical wood grain decoration and hidden air conditioning outlets, 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 2K HDR intelligent central control screen, which makes the cockpit full of technology.
For the first time, the AITO M5 is equipped with the new HarmonyOS smart cockpit, providing users with an easy, convenient and rich immersive driving experience. HarmonyOS smart cockpit breaks the information gap between different devices, so that the vehicle is no longer an island, but a super terminal that can seamlessly circulate with people, mobile phones, smart homes, smart watches, etc., truly realizing the convenience of all things connected by cars. Industry-leading voice interaction, intelligent xiaoyi suggestions, petal maps with excellent navigation experience, all-round digital car keys and many other black technologies have raised the intelligence of cars to a new height.
Editor's Summary: AITO M5 not only has a stylish and beautiful appearance and ultra-rich functional configuration, but also its core extender technology, which can also bring users a new energy travel experience with worry-free mileage. In addition, compared with the ideal ONE home, AITO Q&I M5 pursues performance and personality more, and with the blessing of Huawei's intelligent technology empire, it gives this new car a more innovative vitality, so you need a "supercar SUV" that can compete with big-name sports cars, AITO Q&I M5 is a good choice. At present, it will enter Huawei's national flagship store sales, and test drive will begin on January 20, 2022, and the delivery time will be after the Spring Festival (the end of February), and its performance is expected.
