After the launch of the Polar Fox Alpha S last year, it has caused a lot of heat in the market with its high degree of intelligence, and the HI version of the model jointly created with Huawei has refreshed our impression of the Extreme Fox car since then. So such an intelligent orientation of medium and large cars, in the digital aspect of how to perform, this period of the car came, let's take a closer look at it.
Before the official content is opened, let's first understand the basic information of this model, at present, the Polar Fox Alpha S has a total of four subdivided models, the price range is 251,900-344,900 yuan, this time we borrowed the test drive for the top 603H model, priced at 344,900 yuan, the 603H model is powered by a four-wheel drive system composed of front and rear dual motors, the total power of a single motor is 320 kilowatts, and the total torque is 720 Nm. It is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 93.6 kWh and a NEDC cruising range of 603 km.
Hardware section evaluation
Entering the Polar Fox Alpha S car, it can be seen that it is still the Polar Fox family design style, but in the detailed design, the Alpha S is more concise than the Alpha T, which makes the overall visual appearance of the car has a better technical atmosphere. The most attractive thing in the car is undoubtedly the large size of the double screen that runs through the center console, of which the size of the central control screen reaches 21.69 inches, and the screen resolution reaches the 4K level, plus the screen surface is anti-glare and anti-reflection treatment, whether in the strong sunlight, or in the dark, can show excellent display effects.
The full LCD gauge size is 12.3 inches, the display UI interface is more similar to the Alpha T, the overall use of three-stage design, the middle of a analog pointer style dial, can display the speed and output power, and integrated driver assistance system display interface. The left side of the full LCD meter can display navigation, telephone and vehicle information, and the right side can display multimedia information. The display clarity and display information richness of the whole lcd instrument have a good level. In addition, Alpha S is also equipped with a HUD head-up display system, which can display information such as speed and mileage.
In the hardware section, the Polar Fox Alpha S score is 1.75 points, from this score, its hardware performance is more prominent, only the streaming mirror function is not equipped, but this function is not common in the same level. The other three received full marks, which is enough to see that the Polar Fox Alpha S is excellent in its class.
Software section review
In addition to the excellent display effect, the central control screen of Alpha S also has a built-in intelligent car machine system, which is very complete in terms of functionality, such as the commonly used Baidu map, Tencent Video, Cool Me Music, Himalaya and other applications are equipped, and also support Baidu CarLife and Apple CarPlay functions, giving the car machine system a stronger expansion. The car interface can be displayed in full screen or half-split screen on the narrow central control screen, and because the central control screen tilts to the driver by a certain arc, it is not difficult to observe.
Polar Fox Alpha S online navigation function provided by Baidu Map, there is no slot point in terms of functionality, it is not substantially different from the use of Baidu map on the phone, and the navigation interface can be displayed on the left and right sides of the central control screen and the full LCD instrument, the display position can be flexibly changed according to the needs to meet the different needs of consumers. In addition, Polar Fox Alpha S can also remind consumers to add charging pile passing points to the navigation route according to the remaining mileage to avoid insufficient battery life.
In terms of speech recognition, polar fox alpha S can be awakened through "hello, little fox", most of the commonly used commands it can be accurately recognized, such as food, movies, open / close the window and other commands can be controlled, and the recognition speed is faster, plus support for multiple rounds of interaction, communicate with this set of speech recognition system, as if communicating with real people.
In the software part, Polar Fox Alpha S got 3.75 points, losing the sub-item in the car home interconnection part, the lack of this function for such an intelligent car system, the implementation is not difficult, I hope that Extreme Fox can complete this function in the follow-up OTA upgrade.
Accessibility/Advanced Features
In terms of accessibility and advanced features, the Polar Fox Alpha S also has a better performance, and in the more basic accessibility part, it has a full score of 2 points. In the advanced function part, the Polar Fox Alpha S scored 1.6 points, losing the points for unmanned autonomous parking and AR real-life navigation functions. Among them, although the Polar Fox Alpha S is not equipped with unmanned autonomous parking, it is equipped with RPA remote sensing parking, which can be parked in/out of the parking space by remote control of the vehicle through the mobile phone APP, which can solve the problem of narrow parking space and poor parking to a certain extent.
Thanks to the Fact Fox Alpha S equipped with 4 panoramic cameras and 12 front/rear parking radars, a 360-degree panoramic image with chassis perspective can be realized, and the display effect is relatively clear, enabling consumers to intuitively understand the situation around the car. In addition, these complete intelligent configurations are equipped in the entire series, except for the entry-level models.

After our actual evaluation, the Polar Fox Alpha S finally got a cockpit digital scoring score of 9.1 points, which is a qualified performance for an intelligently oriented pure electric vehicle. It is worth noting that the Polar Fox Alpha S also has a higher positioning, a stronger degree of intelligence HI version of the model is about to be listed, and it is built in cooperation with Huawei, with a more complete auxiliary driving system, as well as Huawei Hongmeng OS car engine system, I believe its performance will be higher than the ordinary version of the Alpha S to a higher level.
