With the further decline of the new energy subsidy policy, the 2022 of the new force car companies is destined to be full of uncertainty, which is also true for the breakthrough of Weilai, Xiaopeng and the ideal "new force" car manufacturer, in the face of this uncertainty, who can take the lead is particularly important.
As early as the beginning of last year, founder Li Bin released NIO's first flagship car ET7 on the annual NIO Day, this pure electric car will be equipped with a 70/100/150kWh solid-state battery pack, with a maximum endurance of more than 1,000 kilometers, priced from 448,000 yuan, and is expected to open a test drive at the end of March this year.
According to the official information, the vehicle size of et7 reaches 5101*1987*1505 mm, the wheelbase is 3060 mm, and the wind resistance coefficient is 0.23. In terms of power, it is equipped with front and rear dual motors, the maximum output power can reach 480kW, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 3.8s.
In addition, ET7 also applies NIO's latest autonomous driving technology NAD (NIO Autonomous Driving), the whole vehicle has 33 high-performance perception hardware, including 1 ultra-long-range lidar, 11 8 million pixel high-definition cameras and 5 millimeter wave radar and 12 ultrasonic sensors, which in some media reports can already benchmark or even surpass the existence of Tesla Model S.
Although some of the remarks made by founder Li Bin at the end of last year caused great controversy, this does not seem to affect the performance of NIO, which still delivered 9652 new cars in the past January, although lagging behind the other two, but considering the average selling price of NIO, this achievement seems to be acceptable.
THE ET7, which has high hopes, shoulders the wild hope of Weilai to impact the luxury electric vehicle market, and whether this shot can be fired has extraordinary significance for Weilai and domestic electric vehicles.
As the best performing new force car company in the market in the past year, Xiaopeng Automobile is not far behind, and at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, Xiaopeng Automobile's new intelligent flagship SUV Xiaopeng G9 was officially unveiled.
According to the information released on the official website, the Xiaopeng G9 is built based on the X-EEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture, and will be equipped with the X Pilot 4.0 system to achieve higher-level automatic driving functions. It is worth mentioning that xiaopeng G9 supports 800V high-voltage sic platform, charging for 5 minutes and ending 200 kilometers will no longer be a dream.
If it is said that the previous "Wei Xiaoli" can coexist harmoniously because of the low degree of product crossover, then the Xiaopeng G9, which is positioned as a large and medium-sized SUV, has inevitably had to face off with Weilai and the ideal. It can be expected that this year's smart SUV market will inevitably have a fierce fight.
At the same time, Xiaopeng, who is not satisfied with becoming the annual sales champion of the new domestic forces, has set its sights on overseas markets, and the Xiaopeng G9 is developed in accordance with the dual certification standards of Chinese and EU vehicles, which is a smart SUV truly based on the international market.
At the same time, the G9, which shoulders the two major missions of brand upward and overseas market development, can be described as the key to Xiaopeng Automobile's opening of the next mileage.
With a model that has become the runner-up in the sales of new power car companies in 2021, the results of the ideal car can not be described as dazzling.
But compared with the other two richer product matrix, relying on a single model to fight the world is not realistic after all, so the ideal will also launch a new car this year - ideal X01, according to the previously disclosed information, the ideal X01 is larger than the ideal one size, will use the second generation of extended range platform, equipped with 1.5T four-cylinder Miller cycle range extender, the highest endurance of up to 820 kilometers, the fastest in April this year to open mass production.
The Ideal X01 will reportedly be equipped with L4-level self-driving hardware, including 12 8-megapixel cameras, 15 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 1 DMS.
In 2020, volkswagen (China) CEO Feng Sihan and ideal car founder Li Xiang's air dispute attracted a lot of attention, Feng Sihan called the extended range electric car is the "worst solution", Li Xiang spent a year to respond, in November 2021, the ideal one on the amount of insurance exceeded the Volkswagen brand medium and large SUVs combined.
The feeling of revenge is painful, but the single product is also an indisputable fact, and the listing of the ideal X01 may be able to alleviate this situation, but in the long run, pure electric models are closer to the answer to the future.
2022 is destined to be an extraordinary year in the development of new energy vehicles, with the increasingly fierce competition, "Wei Xiaoli" has made its own move, as to whether the follow-up situation will open, it also needs to be tested by the market.
