Under the general trend of "new four modernizations of automobiles" and "smart travel", the "wave" of this real shooting was born - Beijing Auto Cube. As the world's first Huawei smart cockpit fuel SUV, THE COOPERATION between BAIC Motor and Huawei has created a "caring" Chi Heng partner for the Z+ generation of young people, which will greatly change and improve people's travel efficiency and travel style. The model filmed this time is a Beijing Motor Cube trial car, not a final mass production version.
At the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, the Beijing Motor Cube, code-named C52X, made its debut. The new car name was collected through co-creation, which represents that BAIC Motor is willing to let users participate in brand building, marking that BAIC Motor has officially entered the era of user co-creation. The symbol of wisdom, flexibility and change symbolized by the Rubik's Cube also coincides with the characteristics of this car.
Beijing Motor Cube product positioning compact SUV, body size 4620× 1886× 1680mm, wheelbase of 2735mm. It is based on BAIC's newly developed BMFA Rubik's Cube architecture, with four highlights: deep integration, extreme engineering, flexible expansion, and intelligent architecture. It is the core strategy of BAIC R&D 2.0 to R&D 3.0, aiming to "build smarter cars" for consumers.
In terms of styling design, Rubik's Cube will mislead people into a pure electric model of new forces, bold and innovative design, rich trends and technological elements, bringing a strong visual impact. On the basis of inheriting the "Most Beautiful" family design language, rubik's cube derives the design theme of "Diamond Star". Design highlights include the front-end "Starry Sky Grille", "Light and Shadow Sculpture" body waistline and "Starlight Flying Wing" through-type taillights. The manufacturer offers six body colors, including Haoyue White, Bright Night Yellow, Galaxy Gray, Vast Gray, Interstellar Blue, and Twinkle Red.
The front face composition is divided into two parts, the upper part is composed of L-shaped day running light group and narrow and long intake grille, the through-line design echoes with the tail light, enhancing the horizontal visual width; the lower part is composed of split headlights, gradient cutout type "starry sky grille", trapezoidal auxiliary air intake, which enhances the technology and sports sense of the front face.
Emphasis is placed on lightness and sportiness on the side of the body, with a glossy black suspended roof design and a heavy side skirt outlining a muscular figure. The rear of the car is equipped with segmented double-layered tail wings, which enhances the sporty attributes of the whole vehicle.
The interior design combines three elements of performance, cutting-edge and technology, and design highlights include the "Interstellar Engine" sub-instrumentation, the "Battlestar" air conditioner outlet and the "Diamond Star Orbit" atmosphere light. Manufacturers provide black and red, black and white, black and gray three color schemes. The three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel feels great in the hand, with a leather wrap embellished with red stitching and integrated multi-function control buttons. The seats are wrapped in leather, the front seats are fixed in one piece, electrically adjustable, and the rear seats support a 4:6 reclining. The interior of the trunk is well-organized and equipped with an electric tailgate.
Cockpit human-machine interaction is equipped with a full LCD instrument panel, an oversized floating central control screen, and an AR-HUD. Its projection area can reach 60 inches, the resolution is 854×420 pixels, the instrument, real-life navigation, assisted driving and other information can be directly projected on the front windshield, to achieve navigation intersection guidance, driving assistance, video playback and other functions, effectively improve driving safety.
Beijing Motor Cube adopts Huawei's smart cockpit, equipped with a vehicle-grade Kirin 990A chip, with 3.5TOPs computing power, and supports 5G network connection. Under the empowerment of Kirin 990A, Rubik's Cube achieves faster response speed and running speed, which can better meet the user's personalized car experience. At the same time, with the help of the Hongmeng OS ecosystem, Mofang shares the ecology with 8 smart terminals such as Huawei mobile phones, watches, and glasses, forming a "hardware community" of car-machine interconnection, and collaborating with N kinds of smart home devices to form a "super terminal", bringing a "1+8+N" superposition experience. Using the leading VEHICLE FOTA control architecture of the same level, it can upgrade the vehicle machine, power and vehicle performance in real time, bringing a commonly used and new driving experience.
In addition, Rubik's Cube also adapts to more than 100 applications such as AutoNavi Map, NetEase Cloud Music, Himalaya, and Kuaishou, and enjoys the massive applications of the online mall. Intelligent situational voice control can be visible and speakable, and at the same time accept multi-mode commands, realize multiple functions such as voiceprint recognition, gesture recognition, and facial recognition, and build a multimodal natural human-computer interaction system. Because it is a test car, the actual performance of Huawei's smart cockpit will be unlocked later.
In terms of powertrain, the Cube is equipped with a Magic Core 1.5T engine + 7 wet-proof dual-clutch transmission combination. This 1.5T engine has won the title of "China Heart" 2021 Top Ten Engines, with a maximum power of 138 kW, a maximum torque of 305N·m, an acceleration time of 7.9s per 100 kilometers, and a fuel consumption as low as 6.0 liters per 100 kilometers. It also features smart driving, which automatically matches the most suitable mode according to the driver's intentions.
In terms of intelligent driving, Rubik's Cube is equipped with 25 driving monitoring sensors, with front/rear collision warning, HWA highway assist, IACC adaptive cruise, one-button automatic parking APA, TJA traffic congestion assistance, RPA outside the remote control parking, tracking and reversing and other intelligent driving assistance systems, and finally achieves the level of L2.5 driver assistance system, realizing a new experience of intelligent driving travel.
In terms of technology configuration, a major highlight is the first one in the same class equipped with electronic exterior mirrors, providing an all-weather, all-scenario better solution. Through the integrated screen of the door guards on both sides, the image of the outer ring of the car is displayed in real time. Electronic exterior mirrors have 3 times more field of view than conventional mirrors, with 60% less occlusion area and 4% less wind resistance. Driving at night can prevent dazzling, rain and snow can automatically enhance image clarity; high speed, turning and reversing can temporarily expand the field of view, can also achieve autonomous adjustment; when reversing, there are auxiliary lines to indicate the roadside distance, the lens automatically pulls down and zooms in. If the electronic exterior mirror is finally mass-produced, it will surely become a highlight configuration that attracts young people. In addition, the Cube is also equipped with FACE ID, mobile APP remote control, voice control, mobile phone Bluetooth key, B-Care children's cockpit and FOTA self-evolution.
BEIJING AUTO CUBE is expected to be listed in April 2022, with a price range of 110,000-150,000 yuan. With Huawei's smart cockpit, numerous black technology configurations, and outstanding cost performance. It is believed that after the listing, Beijing Auto Cube can win the favor of young consumers and achieve good sales performance.
