At last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Beijing Motor Cube was officially released, as a new SUV model, you can see a very obvious difference from the past. Now, when such a new car with a lot of personality stops in front of me, I finally have the opportunity to read it well.
For many consumers, the reason why they pay attention to the Rubik's Cube may be related to Huawei. There is no doubt that today Huawei is definitely the industry leader in intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, intelligent networking, etc., and I have seen Huawei's outstanding performance in "intelligence" on other models before, and the cooperation between BAIC Motor and Huawei can be said to be a strong combination. For a "smart car" equipped with Huawei's smart cockpit, what surprises will the Rubik's Cube bring us?
Innovative design with full personality
The ultra-recognizable design is undoubtedly my first impression of the Rubik's Cube. In my opinion, Rubik's Cube is a new car with a very distinct design style, which is completely different from the impression left by Beijing Automobile in the past, and the overall design style is also more youthful. On the basis of exaggerated personality styling, the rubik's cube is more delicate in its grasp of details, not deliberately designed for cool design, but it will still impress you.
Rubik's cube front design has a very rich fresh elements, split design LED headlights full of personality, slender shape of the daytime running lights to bring a sharper visual effect to the front of the car, with the large area below the diamond-shaped net design, the transition of "infinity" not only strengthens the visual center of gravity, but also gives a strong sense of the future. Of course, such a design undoubtedly has a stronger appeal to the current young consumer group, and this is also what the Bai auto brand urgently needs to expand, which is a good start.
The body side modeling pays more attention to the sense of fluency, and there are not too many deliberate lines, which is a relatively simple and rounded style. The two-tone design and slightly slippery roof lines give the Rubik's Cube more nimble, and a chrome trim strip running through the windows also makes for a stronger visual transition from the front to the rear.
This time, the model I actually shot is equipped with a horse brand UC6 SUV tire, the size is 225/55 R19, and the two-color rim shape is more sporty.
In addition, the door handles are also hidden design, unlocking automatically pops up, more ceremonial. Of course, the most attractive design highlight of the Rubik's Cube must be the use of electronic exterior mirrors, which replace the traditional mirror surface through camera framing, and the screen on the door trim panel to observe the side rear. Compared with the traditional rearview mirror, the field of view is 3 times more, the occlusion area is reduced by 60%, and the wind resistance is reduced by 4%. Of course, we can see such designs on the Audi e-tron, Honda e and Lexus ES before, but if you want to really experience it, maybe the Rubik's Cube is the fastest to feel. As for how well it performs in daily use, we still need to wait until the test drive to really experience it.
The rear design of the Rubik's Cube pays more attention to creating a sense of layering, from the oversized tail wing, the taillights that run through the shape to the rear surround of the black shape, which is dynamic and very fashionable. The exhaust system with bilateral double out uses a hidden design, which is a bit too low-key.
Huawei's smart cockpit is blessed, and the overall improvement is comprehensively improved
The progress of Rubik's Cube in interior design is also very obvious, whether it is a scientific and technological atmosphere, intelligent improvement or more solid materials in details, it will intuitively let you perceive its improvement. There is no doubt that with the blessing of Huawei's smart cockpit, the Rubik's Cube has obvious advantages over traditional models of the same level, and intelligent network connection is its selling point.
The overall atmosphere of the interior is relatively simple, but there are very diverse elements in the details. The interior is clad in a large number of soft materials, and the contrasting design of black and red is more stylish and sporty.
Huawei's smart cockpit has become the focus of the entire interior. In terms of parameters, it is equipped with a vehicle-grade Kirin 990A chip, which has a computing power of 3.5TOPs, supports 5G network connection, and responds faster; the car machine can interconnect with 8 major terminals such as mobile phones and PCs, creating more use scenarios, voice control, gesture recognition and other interactive uses are more natural; adapt to more than 100 applications such as AutoNavi Map and NetEase Cloud Music, and can be remotely controlled with smart homes. It is believed that with such a rich functional performance, it will undoubtedly bring consumers a more intelligent and convenient car experience.
In addition, rubik's cube is also equipped with AR-HUD head-up display function, through the resolution of 854×420 pixels, 60 inches projection area, you can directly project information such as instruments, real-life navigation, assisted driving on the front windshield, bringing better display effect and experience.
Thanks to the more "smart" technology configuration, the number of physical buttons in the entire interior has been further simplified, and the control area under the central control screen has been designed with a separate design, and the electronic gear, electronic handbrake and wireless charging panel of the mobile phone are placed here. There's also an extra storage space underneath for your belongings.
In terms of body size, the Rubik's Cube is 4620/1886/1680 mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase reaches 2735 mm. The front and rear seats are designed in red, which matches the overall black atmosphere and is very visually impactful. The front seats are integrated to create a stronger sense of movement and better body support.
The overall riding comfort of the rear row is also not bad, the leather seat filling is relatively thick, the leg space is generous, the top of the head will not feel depressed, the overall riding experience is the mainstream performance of the same level, the family does not have to worry at all, the practical performance is good.
In terms of power, the Magic Cube is equipped with the Magic Core 1.5T engine, which is known as the "Heart of China" 2021 Top Ten Engines, which can achieve 39.2% thermal efficiency performance, the maximum power of the engine is 138 kilowatts, the maximum torque can reach 305 Nm, and it matches the 7-speed wet double-clutch transmission. Combined with the official data, the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 7.9 seconds, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 6.0 liters, and the braking distance of 100-0 km / h is only 37 meters.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the whole car is equipped with 25 driving monitoring sensors, with intelligent driving assistance systems such as front/rear collision warning, IACC adaptive cruise, one-button automatic parking APA, tracking and reversing, etc., and supports L2.5 level driving assistance system, bringing a safer and more intelligent driving experience.
For this static experience, Rubik's Cube made a good impression on me. Among them, it is not only the personalized appearance and Huawei's intelligent cockpit, but more importantly, it is very important to feel the positive attitude of the Beijing automobile brand in the face of industry changes, and to cater to the aesthetic, intelligent, and assisted driving needs of today's consumers with more youthful products. It is worth mentioning that Rubik's Cube will be listed in the first half of this year, and the price range is expected to be 110,000 to 150,000 yuan, do you expect it to be officially listed?
