If you have a small achievement in your career and are carefree in life, then when it comes to car consumption, I believe that many people will first think of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.
But in fact, "success" is not the highest standard to measure a person's career status and life value. According to the writer Zhou Guoping, more important than success is that a person must have inner richness and have his own true disposition and true qualities.
For the car itself, why not.
When switching to car consumption, it is not easy to satisfy yourself and make everyone satisfied. It is better to determine your own goals, give up the unnecessary "luxury", and finally make yourself satisfied, which is the true meaning of buying a car. Therefore, from various angles such as power, comfort, and configuration, our eyes should not be limited to Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. Especially in the current era of "faster" development of new energy vehicles, there are many models that are more worthy of our attention.
Pull the technology configuration full and expect its highlight performance
Among them, Gaohe HiPhi X is one of them. It is a luxury intelligent pure electric vehicle under Huaren Express, defined as "the world's first evolvable supercar SUV". However, it does not have "luxury in the high walls". Up to now, Gaohe HiPhi X has become the most expensive pure electric vehicle to achieve "mass production" in China. The market guidance price is 570,000 yuan -800,000 yuan.
If the price is a significant sign of improving its quality and promoting its "success", then the sense of futurism and technology it presents is the biggest highlight of this model. The use of low body design, the length of 5200mm, wheelbase of 3150mm, especially the use of "spread wing doors" and diagonal door design, is extremely rare in the industry, and this six-door design, the author has only seen in Rolls-Royce and other top luxury models. Impressive.
As a pure electric luxury SUV, it adopts dual motors (ternary lithium batteries), NEDC pure electric endurance of 550 kilometers, fast charging time of one hour. At the same time, the electric four-wheel drive is adopted, the total power of the motor is 440KM, the total torque reaches 820N·m, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 3.9 seconds.
In terms of technology configuration, equipped with 5 surround view cameras, 24 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars, with intelligent driver assistance systems, including face recognition, programmable headlights, electric suction doors, HUDs, etc., in short, you can think of software and hardware. In short, in terms of configuration data, Gaohe HiPhi X is far ahead.
However, it is obvious that in terms of brand and recognition, The HiPhi X is still far from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. The sales figures are unmatched. As a model priced at up to 800,000 yuan, it may be a successful choice, but it is not necessarily a satisfactory destination.
Can "second-tier" luxury hold up its amazement?
If Gaohe HiPhi X is full of intelligent technology and leaves no room for appearance, then cadillac LYRIQ, as an American car, the appearance and its interior are also very sci-fi. At present, the reservation has been opened, and the pre-sale price is 439,700 yuan.
Positioning medium and large SUVs, there is also no luxury in the high wall, using cross-border body design, shape dynamic, and its concept car design concept is inherited.
The LYRIQ is 5003mm long and has a wheelbase of 3094mm, which cannot be separated from the atmosphere of American cars. The 5-seat layout provides a large interior space. The 33-inch LCD display on the center console is really eye-catching and is standard across the series. The car-machine system supports various common functions such as 360-degree panoramic imaging, satellite navigation, in-car telephony, speech recognition system, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, etc. The screen PPI value reaches 271, which is the best performance of pixel density in the current car screen. At the same time, active and passive safety equipment such as lane keeping and lane departure warning are also readily available.
Positioned as a medium-sized pure electric SUV, based on the GM UItium Aotene electric platform, equipped with a 95.7kWh ternary lithium battery and a rear single motor, the total output power of the system is 255kW, and the peak torque is 440N·m. The acceleration of 100 kilometers is 6.9 seconds, and the cruising range under clTC conditions reaches 650 kilometers.
Cadillac's sales are increasing day by day, if the pure electricity field is one step ahead of the BBA, or even to meet the successful people at a super high level, then the Cadillac brand at least in the field of new energy, in terms of brand and quality-price ratio, can be completely on par with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi.
In the new energy market to enter the "luxury line", do you think LYRIQ has such a confidence?
What can the "Givo gene" bring to it?
Even with the inheritance of volvo in Sweden, it is inseparable from the background of Geely Automobile, but it is still unable to shorten the distance between Polestar Polestar Polestar 1 and consumers.
This "plug-in hybrid sports car" with Nordic pedigree has been running in the Chinese market for a long time, although it is equipped with a hybrid system equipped with 2.0T machinery + turbo twin supercharged engine and dual motors, but it has obviously not crossed the "luxury" boundary, even if the price reaches 1.45 million yuan!
In fact, the biggest advantage of this model is that it adopts a hybrid power, which can output 441kW and 1000N m of power. However, the ultra-high price price completely masks this advantage. To be fair, either you are a gasoline sports car, and someone will look at how much money you have; or you are a luxurious pure tram, at least you will get future development space. And such an ultra-high-priced hybrid car, luxury within its own high walls, will eventually be destroyed in the generations.
It is better to take a look at Polar Star 2, at least the price range of about 300,000 yuan will make it have some sense of existence. However, whether it is Polestar Polestar 1 or Polestar 2, in the domestic market, if it is separated from the existence of "brand", it will not be able to support its subsequent development. Compared with Cadillac's pure electricity, Volvo, which is also a second-line luxury, it is best to weigh its own sense of existence.
For successful people, in addition to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, will you choose between Polestar, Gaohe, cadillac? But no matter what, no matter what choice is made, satisfying yourself is the true meaning of buying a car, and it will also bring the joy of success. In the career, in life, the most precious value and the most beautiful enjoyment can actually be obtained on any model.
