Speaking of new forces to build cars, "Wei Xiaoli" can be said to be the most recognized by consumers of the 3 brands, of which Xiaopeng in my opinion is the most "sword to the side", with G3 and P7 good market performance, Xiaopeng Automobile has become more and more confident, the third model P5 positioning more cost-effective compact sedan, but equipped with a rare lidar, now it is also very bold, which makes consumers both surprised and looking forward to. In addition, Xiaopeng P5 also has XPILOT 3.5 automatic driving assistance system, as well as a comprehensive endurance of more than 600 kilometers, coupled with the starting price of more than 160,000 yuan, which immediately makes Xiaopeng P5 a dark horse in the compact electric vehicle market.
What attracts consumers about the Xiaopeng P5 is in addition to lidar, assisted driving and ultra-long battery life? Of course, there is also the car engine system that Xiaopeng has always been proud of. This time, the Xiaopeng P5 specially prepared an interactive cockpit with the Xmart OS 3.0 system as the core, which is also the first time to be serviced on the Xiaopeng model. It uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8155P chip, which can bring a smoother experience, while also having a richer in-vehicle application to meet the full range of occupants' entertainment and interaction requirements.
After introducing xiaopeng P5, let's look at the "CC-1000T intelligent cockpit evaluation system", which is jointly developed by Cheyun Research Institute and partners, adhering to the principle of openness and continuity from several dimensions such as intelligent performance, ease of use, appearance and sense of technology, trustworthiness and innovation to subjectively experience and score the degree of cockpit intelligence of the vehicle. From 2019 to the present, the system has been upgraded to version 3.0 after annual iteration, from the traditional product research and development as the core of the successful transformation to research and development + experience, has tested more than 100 smart cockpit models, so that the huge and complex concept of smart cockpit is more simple and intuitive in front of consumers.
"CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation System" is divided into two categories of scores: basic items and innovation items, and the basic items involve a total of 210 items, each with a 5-point system, with a full score of 1050 points. Innovations are evaluated as independent, and according to the performance of the model, there is also a 5-point system for each innovation, but there is no upper limit on the total score. The sum of the basic items and the innovation items is the total score of the model's smart cockpit performance, so as to completely evaluate and depict the smart cockpit.
Why are we introducing innovative projects? As we all know, the current development of the smart cockpit is very fast, every month or even every week there are new functions born, it may not be included in the basic items, but it can give consumers a sense of surprise and practicality, but also has a certain original functional experience, these functions will be scored in the innovation items. According to the intelligent cockpit experience, we classify innovation into three categories, namely interactive function innovation, digital innovation, and cockpit environment innovation, so as to more perfectly evaluate the innovation of smart cockpit.
To say that Xiaopeng P5 in the most important embodiment of the smart cockpit, 12.3-inch dashboard + 15.6-inch central control screen has played a decisive role, the larger size of the screen can not only bring better visual effects, in terms of running fluency, there is Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8155P chip as a hardware guarantee, and these are all standard, it can be seen that Xiaopeng P5 is still very thick in configuration.
According to the data source of the CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation Cloud Platform, xiaopeng P5 scored a total of 873 points, of which the performance score was 742 points and 131 points in innovation. In terms of "interactive function innovation", the small P5 scored 33 points for projects such as private customization, WYSIWYG and drone; in terms of digital innovation, app store + voice control application, cryogenic battery preheating and V2L, I was also impressed; and the rest of the more projects were focused on cockpit environment innovation, which included 12 items, and the sub-score was as high as 58 points.
App Store + Voice Control: The number of apps upends your imagination
As we said earlier, the 15.6-inch screen used by Xiaopeng P5 is very eye-catching, how to make good use of such a large screen? The answer given by Xiaopeng's engineers is to use richer applications. The application built into the Xiaopeng P5 car machine system is like a mobile phone, which can be downloaded according to needs, and has also been classified to a certain extent, which is currently divided into: mobile living room, hearing good sounds, leisure time, information reading, travel and life tools, etc., and the richness of functions may subvert our imagination.
Of course, the built-in App program is also very complicated, it can be said that you can find it on your mobile phone, and this Xiaopeng P5 will not be absent. For example, common software to watch videos: Youku IoT version, Bilibili, iQiyi, Kuaishou Express Edition, etc.; listening to music includes: NetEase Cloud Music, Phoenix FM, HiFi Music Pro Edition, Cloud Listening, Lazy Listening to Books, etc.; If you like self-driving travel, Xiaopeng P5 also prepares a honeycomb tour, fliggy travel, going out, etc. So many apps increase the practicality of the entire car machine, in addition, the above apps can be turned on/off by voice (except for Youku), so there are also good performances in terms of surprise and originality.
Smart and versatile space: let you fall in love with the space in the car from now on
With such a wealth of apps, how do you use it to the greatest extent? For this reason, Xiaopeng P5 has specially created the concept of intelligent and changeable space, which can make your car become "viewing space" or "sleeping space" in seconds, and the addition of smart fragrance and smart refrigerator will also make your car life more comfortable. How to open the "sleeping space" of Xiaopeng P5? In fact, it is very simple, take out the headrest of the front seat, put the front seat flat, and then cooperate with the rear seat to form a comfortable sleeping space like a bed. "Movie space" can be seen as an upgraded version of the sleeping space, the seat settings are exactly the same, only need to be combined with a movie kit, which includes a car custom ultra-clear projector, 45-inch car screen, car projector fixture, you can make the cabin of xiaopeng P5 into a cinema-like space, both interesting and private.
The refrigerator design of Xiaopeng P5 is located in the center of the rear row, which is large and easy to access. Its temperature setting has three gears of 6 °C, 0 °C and -6 °C, which can not only be refrigerated, but also frozen, and it is more convenient to keep food fresh when camping outdoors. However, after the optional car refrigerator is installed, the trunk volume will be reduced from 450L to 360L.
Vehicle drone control: Sit in the car and play with the drone
The function I want to talk about below can be said to be an innovation in the interaction of the car, the vehicle is no longer a single means of transportation, xiaopeng P5 and drones are linked, bringing a different use of the feeling. How? We sit in the car, through the voice or central control screen to control the drone intelligent flight, the car map shows the location of the drone in real time, while also browsing the image taken by the drone at any time. At present, this feature needs to be further developed, but it is conceivable that this may become a trend in the future, especially for anti-risk and disaster relief. At present, the vehicle-mounted drone only supports the DJI drone Mavic 2 Pro model, and the drone and external hardware need to be purchased separately.
summary:
Xiaopeng P5 in the smart cockpit performance of two points left a deep impression on me, the first is the huge 15.6-inch screen, it gives me a visual effect is very shocking, the visual effect naturally has nothing to say, of course, in front of relatives and friends also have a face; the second is based on the large-screen hardware conditions of many App applications, this inclusive and open attitude, it is worth more manufacturers to learn.
For a wealth of App programs, Xiaopeng P5 is also a full-scene, multi-faceted display, the best embodiment is the sleeping space and the viewing space, the former makes your Xiaopeng P5 seconds into a comfortable double bed, the latter on this basis, and then becomes a suitable for two people to watch the car space, and you do not have to worry about exhaust, when watching the movie, the cost of power consumption is also more affordable than fuel. Coupled with the addition of the car refrigerator and smart fragrance, I believe that the in-car gameplay of Xiaopeng P5 can only be imagined, and it cannot be done without it.
