Just by looking at the parameters, you know that Avita 11 is a fierce character.
On March 13, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the declaration of the 354th batch of new vehicles in the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements", and Avita 11 appeared in them. Avita is a car brand jointly created by CHN, and the 11 is the official name of Avita's first model.
Who is CHN?
C= Changan Automobile, H= Huawei, N= Ningde era.
On November 15, 2021, Avita held a press conference in Shanghai. Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of Consumer BG, and CEO of Smart Vehicle Solutions BU, and Zeng Yuqun, chairman of CATL, all stood for Avita by video.
Top car companies, top intelligent and autonomous driving suppliers, top battery suppliers - Avita is holding the industry's top resources to appear, naturally extraordinary.
The first intelligent electric vehicle Avita 11, zero hundred acceleration of less than 4 seconds, the use of 750V high voltage platform, support more than 200kW fast charging, cruising range of up to 700 kilometers, high-end auxiliary driving chip computing power is more than 400TOPS, the whole vehicle perception hardware as many as 34.
After landing on the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the specific parameters of the Avita 11 were exposed, which was one head higher than the Tesla Model Y high-performance version. Can Avita 11, which is more heavily stacked on assisted driving hardware, become a dark horse and stand out?
01
3 lidars, 400 TOPS hashrate
Avita 11 is equipped with 3 lidars.
According to the declaration map of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Avita 11 is under the front plate frame, and there are a total of 3 lidars arranged in the front fender position on both sides of the vehicle, which is currently the model with the largest number of lidars entering the automotive announcement system of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. More lidar can help vehicles perform better at high-end assisted driving.
According to the information released by Avita, Avita 11 is very powerful in terms of high-level assisted driver perception hardware, with a total of up to 34 sensors, including 6 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar, 13 cameras and 3 lidar. The high-end assisted driving computing platform will be provided by Huawei, with a final force of up to 400 TOPS.
At the software level, Avita 11 enables pilot assistance for high speeds and complex road conditions in urban areas.
In terms of body size, according to the parameters announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Avita 11 is 4880mm long, 1970mm wide, and has a wheelbase of 2975mm, which belongs to the intermediate SUV model, the seat layout is 4 or 5 seats, and it is expected to have a very prominent advantage in terms of interior space.
The exterior of Avita 11 was designed by the Design Center in Munich, Germany, with the concept of "futurism", and the overall shape is full of futuristic technology.
In the front part of the body, the headlamp group called "Curvature Headlights" has slender lines and is completely separated from the automotive products currently on sale, and the "Curvature Headlights" outline the competence and sharpness in the very affinity front face composition. The clean and elegant side lines enhance the smooth and agile silhouette of the whole vehicle.
At the rear of the body, the Avita 11's shape is more unique, with two window lines converging into sharp V-shaped sharp angles at the rear of the body, and pointing powerfully to the edge of the end of the coupe C-pillar, which uniquely echoes the rounded rear wheel arch.
Judging from the declaration chart, Avita 11 will feature a slender style of through-style taillights that present a distinct visual layering between the inverted trapezoidal rear window and the sedate lower body.
It can be said that in terms of appearance, the actual effect of Avita 11 is the same as the design concept, and the future is full of technology and is very unique.
Judging from the parameters of the declaration announcement, Avita 11 adopts a four-wheel drive layout, and the drive motor is provided by HUAWEI Huawei in CHN. The front axle motor is YS210XY584 AC asynchronous motor with a power of 195kW. The rear axle motor is a TZ210XY584 permanent magnet synchronous motor with a power of 230kW and a total power of 425kW for the front and rear dual motors.
This allows the Avita 11's 0-100km/h acceleration time to go into the 3.x seconds level, the same as the European supercar.
In terms of power batteries, Avita 11 adopts ternary lithium batteries provided by CHN Ningde Times, with a power battery capacity of 90.38 kWh and an estimated cruising range of more than 600 kilometers.
Combined with the information released by the manufacturer, Avita 11 will support ultra-fast charging of more than 200kW, and the voltage platform of the vehicle three-electric system will reach the 750V level, which is a high-voltage platform. The realization of 200kW ultra-fast charging is also leading in the whole industry.
In terms of options, Avita 11 will offer three wheels for consumers to choose from, with two tyres available in 265/45R21 and 265/40R22 on wheels.
02
Seize the Model Y high-performance version of the market
After the listing of Avita 11, it will compete with a number of models, including Tesla Model Y, the upcoming Weilai ES7, Xiaopeng G9, etc., but in terms of comprehensive dimensions and parameter configuration, the most direct competitor of Avita 11 is the Model Y high-performance version.
In terms of appearance, the body of the Avita 11 is slightly larger than the Model Y High Performance Edition, but the wheelbase performance is more prominent, and it is expected to outperform the Model Y High Performance Edition in terms of riding space.
Especially in terms of rear space, model Y's widely criticized small back bench problem is expected to cease to exist on Avita 11. Because Aveta 11 will use the latest Cell TO Pack (CTP) technology of the CATL era, the efficiency of the power battery pack group has been greatly improved, which will reduce the occupation of the power battery for the space inside the car.
In terms of three electrics, Avita 11 and Tesla Model Y high-performance version parameters are more similar, and the competition is more intense.
Avita 11, which is based on CTP technology in the Ningde era, will be equipped with a larger capacity ternary lithium-powered battery, while the Tesla Model Y uses a cylindrical 21700 ternary lithium battery provided by LG, so in terms of the efficiency of the power battery group, Avita 11 is better. In addition, due to the higher voltage platform of the whole vehicle, the energy use efficiency of the Avita 11 is expected to be better than that of Tesla.
In terms of power, both Avita 11 and Model Y High Performance Edition adopt a four-wheel drive layout of a front-mounted AC asynchronous motor and a rear-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor.
The Avita 11 is far ahead in terms of motor power, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is expected to be shorter than the current Tesla Model Y high-performance version of 3.7s. In terms of range, the Avita 11 is roughly the same as the Model Y High Performance Edition, but the Model Y High Performance Edition has a CRUIC operating range and a NEDC operating range of 566 km.
In terms of high-end assisted driving hardware, the Avita 11 has a crushing advantage over the Tesla Model Y high-performance version.
The Avita 11 is equipped with 34 driver assistance perception hardware, the Tesla Model Y High Performance Edition is equipped with 21, and the crucial millimeter wave radar and lidar configuration is missing. In terms of computing platform, Avita 11 uses the MDC computing platform provided by Huawei, with a computing power of 400 TOPS, which can meet the computing power required by the pilot driving assistance in urban working conditions.
At the level of high-end driver assistance software, Avita 11 will be supported by Huawei's software and hardware, and in Huawei's high-level driver assistance test vehicle, models that use the same high-level driver assistance software hardware platform can drive autonomously in the streets of the city. So far, Tesla has not opened this feature in China.
In terms of appearance, the Avita 11 adopts a more futuristic design language, and the Tesla Model Y design style is more modern. In terms of interior, Avita 11 has not yet announced the interior design.
03
It is expected to sell from 400,000 yuan
Avita 11 parameters can be described as bursting, hardware and "piled up", the cost is not low.
Due to the larger number of high-end assisted driving perception hardware and more power battery capacity, Avita 11 can still control the cost, and compete with the Tesla Model Y high-performance version in terms of price, which will test the operation ability of Avita.
It is clear that Avita is the first model launched by CHN, and Changan, Huawei, and Ningde era will definitely pay more resources for the car.
At present, in the shareholding structure of Avita Technology (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., the main operating entity of Avita, Changan Automobile and CATL Consortium account for the largest proportion, holding 39.02% and 28.99% of the shares respectively. It is believed that the two companies' expectations for Avita are in the long term, not the short-term return on investment.
Therefore, in terms of cost control of Avita 11, Changan Automobile is expected to empower Avita with the procurement advantage of Changan Group, and CATL will support the cost of power batteries. I believe that in terms of cost control, Avita can have a good performance.
In terms of model price, the current Tesla Model Y high-performance version is priced at 397,900 yuan, that is, the price range of 400,000 yuan. It is estimated that Avita will also start selling in the price range of 400,000 yuan, directly competing with the Tesla Model Y high-performance version.
04
CHN layout in the second half
Competition in China's new energy vehicle market has quietly shifted to the second half.
In the first half, the electrification of cars was the theme. In the second half, the intelligentization of electric vehicles is the theme.
CHN, Changan-Huawei-Ningde era is aimed at the competition in the second half. The three companies are strong in the field of automobile manufacturing, intelligent and autonomous driving, and power batteries, all of which are eligible to enter the second half of the race, but any one of them will not have the certainty of victory, so the union is the best arrangement.
Focus on manufacturing continue to focus on manufacturing, focus on intelligence and automatic driving continue to strengthen competitiveness, focus on power batteries to provide the most cutting-edge battery technology, the division of labor is clear, the development direction is also clear. Most importantly, none of the three are short of money.
After the capital increase and the adjustment of the share ratio, Avita will participate in the competition of the automobile market as a new force. In 2016, Li Bin, chairman of Weilai Automobile, once said that he should not build a car without 20 billion, and in 2021, Li Bin updated the figure to 40 billion, and he believed that 40 billion was not necessarily enough.
CHN teamed up to build Avita, proving that Avita is not short of resources and money, but Avita lacks recognition and market, and urgently needs Avita 11 to open the market.
Tesla, Weilai, Xiaopeng and other new forces represented by the car companies, in the high-end intelligent electric vehicle market has taken a foothold, in the first half of the race to occupy the first mover advantage. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi did not have any results in the first half, but in the second half they will inevitably exert their full strength.
Avita, there is no first half advantage, there is no Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi brand resource accumulation, Avita must rely on hard skills to score in the second half.
Avita is also facing an uphill battle.
