At the end of December last year, Huawei held a winter flagship new product launch in Shenzhen. At the press conference, the Q&I M5 equipped with the new HarmonyOS smart cockpit was unveiled. Yu Chengdong, a brother of Huawei, said that Huawei's advanced ICT technology and intelligent car solutions will help AITO bring consumers the ultimate and intelligent travel experience, which is also the first impression of AITO Q&A M5.
Then, a question arose in my mind: What kind of spark will be sparked when the car and wisdom meet? This made xiaobian interested in this car. After a period of understanding, I later made a "big decision" and had this test drive opportunity in advance. Here, Xiaobian would like to share with you some of the experience of this upcoming Q&I M5.
Huawei-enabled, HarmonyOS smart cockpit highlights a lot
As the first car equipped with harmonyOS smart cockpit, everyone's focus on the M5 is naturally intelligent.
In fact, Xiaobian is also looking forward to the M5 smart cockpit, and it is indeed not disappointing from the experience, for several reasons. First, the intelligent car machine has clear logic and easy operation. According to the staff, the M5 car machine system and Huawei's tablet are basically a set of things, but there are more vehicle control procedures. That is to say, if you have used the Huawei tablet before, then you will be more familiar with this interface, even if you have not used it, it is very easy to get started, because it does not have a layer of menu bars, all the functions are easy to find, and support car customization.
Secondly, the intelligent experience of the M5 is also very good, for example, the voice interaction function. It supports continuous dialogue and recognizes commands from people in different seats without interference. For example, when the main driver issues "Xiaoyi Xiaoyi, help me open the window, close the navigation, play Tan Yonglin's music", it will be executed quickly, without interference from the sound of other seats. Suppose the back row issues an instruction to it, it responds with "Hello back row", and then it will recognize the sound in the back row individually and complete the command.
It is worth mentioning that when we want to navigate, we usually issue instructions to navigate to the destination, at this time, it will ask you which route to choose. At present, most of the car machines need to be completed by the voice assistant to continue to choose the route, but the M5 can choose the route during the broadcast of the voice assistant, which also shows the intelligent side.
At present, most high-end models are equipped with wireless charging devices, but the M5 not only provides wireless charging devices, but also has a super fast charging function, which is a surprise, and it is also the first time that Xiaobian has seen a vehicle equipped with a super fast charging function.
In addition, the new car is equipped with a stereo on the headrest of the main seat, which can create a surround sound for users. Overall, in the smart cockpit of the Q&I M5, the experience is very good.
In addition, the M5 not only supports key unlocking, mobile phone unlocking, but also supports card keys, and the grade is instantly improved a lot.
The driving texture is good, but the driver assistance logic can still be improved
In fact, for the intelligent cockpit experience of the Q&I M5, Xiaobian personally is not too worried, after all, Huawei has done a good job in the field of intelligence, and the installation of the Hongmeng system is even more confident. So, I've always wondered what the dynamic experience of test driving this car is like.
At present, this car has not yet been listed, take this test drive opportunity, and briefly share with you the dynamic performance of Xiaobian on it. First of all, the feeling of opening the M5 is comfortable, perhaps because of the use of range extension processing, its driving texture is close to that of pure electric models, whether it is starting or driving at high speed, the tranquility is very good.
When the new car starts, the power response is fast, the speed is fast, and the power is enough to meet daily needs, but the front section of the brake adjustment of the Q&A M5 is slightly softer, and it takes some time to adjust the foot feeling. In addition, although the test drive process is not far, about 20 minutes or so, but also through a lot of poor road conditions, and the chassis texture of the M5 is also soft, through the bad road conditions, although there is some small shaking, but can filter out most of the vibration, sitting in the car feel more comfortable, plus the front seat is also equipped with seat ventilation / heating and massage function, the overall feeling is not bad.
As we all know, Huawei has previously cooperated with Jihu to launch a set of high-level automatic driving assistance solutions. Unfortunately, this car is not equipped with Huawei's high-end automatic driving ADS system, but is equipped with an ordinary L2+ level driver assistance system. Operationally speaking, it is relatively simple to start ACC adaptive endurance, but it still needs to be improved in some logic.
For example, when setting the cruise speed, when the lever continues to be dialed upwards, the speed increases by 1 km. Normally speaking, vigorous and long-term dialing should be fast speed will be better, and a single dial will slowly increase the speed.
For example, when the ACC adaptive cruise and lane keeping functions are turned on at the same time, the system is not very fast to identify the vehicle next to it, and when we slightly swing the steering wheel, the lane-keeping function is canceled.
Suppose a scene, when we turn on the lane keeping function, next to the sudden large truck, out of a sense of oppression, most people will be away from the direction of the big truck to lightly adjust the direction, then the lane keeping function is forced to cancel, we need to reopen, inevitably there will be some trouble, and these are the problems that logic can solve. Overall, the driving texture of the Q&I M5 is good, but the logic of the driver assistance function can also be improved.
Auto network review: The order has exceeded 6000, will Huawei + Xiaokang succeed this time
Huawei and Xiaokang are not the first time to cooperate, and some people may be familiar with Cyrus and unfamiliar with the AITO brand. In fact, AITO is a high-end brand launched by Huawei and Xilis, a subsidiary of Xiaokang Group, and the Q&I M5 is the first model under the AITO brand.
Q&I M5 recently opened pre-sale, pre-sale price range of 25-32 million yuan, it is understood that Q&I M5 previous orders have exceeded 6,000, is expected to be delivered around March this year. So, as a medium-sized range extender pure electric SUV labeled "car + smart", will it achieve Huawei and Xiaokang? We'll see.
