As a leader in the information and communication technology industry, Huawei has always claimed that it will not build cars, but its expansion in the automotive field has never stopped. AITO Q&I M5 is an extreme intelligent luxury SUV jointly empowered by Huawei and Xilix, and today we will take a comprehensive look at this car.
In order to more intuitively show the comprehensive strength of the M5, we deliberately found two models that have a direct competition with it and are still very popular: the ideal ONE and the Tesla Model Y. Next, we will compete one by one on the three aspects of battery life, performance and smart cockpit.
The first part: endurance test
In this section we have the Q&I M5 and the Ideal ONE using the extender power system for PK. The M5 is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender, with a maximum compression ratio of 15:1 and an ultra-high thermal efficiency of 41%, and the WLTP has an endurance of 1102 kilometers, of which pure electric endurance is 150 kilometers. The ideal ONE is equipped with a 1.2T three-cylinder range extender, and the WLTP has a range of 890 kilometers, of which the pure electric mileage is 155 kilometers. In terms of charging, both cars support fast charging and slow charging.
For models with range extender power system, we first conduct photoelectric tests, and after the range extender is forced to start automatically, we then drive in a 110km power deficit state, and finally get the actual pure electric mileage and the actual power loss fuel consumption.
When the two cars have about 20% of the power left, the range extender will automatically start, at this time, the actual pure electric mileage of the Q&I M5 is 184.7, and the actual pure electric mileage of the ideal ONE is 156.4 kilometers. It can be seen that the performance of the M5 is better, and it is far beyond the pure electric mileage given by the official.
After the end of the pure electric endurance test, the two cars continued to drive about 110km in a state of loss of power, and then filled with fuel again to jump guns, after calculating the actual average fuel consumption of the final Q&A M5 was 9.22L/100km, and the actual average fuel consumption of the ideal ONE was 9.9L/100km.
Therefore, from a comprehensive point of view, the M5, whether it is pure electric endurance or loss of power and fuel consumption, has performed better than the ideal ONE, and the high-efficiency range extender and Huawei's three-in-one electric drive system provide a strong ultra-long endurance performance for the M5, truly achieving zero anxiety in mileage.
The second part: performance testing
In this session, we continue to conduct 0-100km/h acceleration tests and 100km/h-0 brake tests on the QR M5 and the Ideal ONE to see who is stronger in terms of performance. Q&I M5 four-wheel drive performance version model is equipped with a front AC asynchronous motor, a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, a total motor power of 315KW, a maximum torque of 720N·m; and the ideal ONE extended range 6-seat version, equipped with a front and rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, the total power of the motor is 245KW, the maximum torque is 455N·m, from the book data, AITO Q&I M5 has obvious advantages.
Turn off the body stabilization system, turn on the catapult mode, and press the acceleration pedal with all your strength, and the front of both cars is raised high, ready to fire like a loaded bullet. In the initial stage, because the two cars are all four-wheel drive versions, the wheels have not seen any slippage, but from the P-box data and the actual body feeling, the advantages of the Q&C M5 are very obvious.
Q&A M5 starting posture
Ideal ONE starting posture
The starting g value of the Q&I M5 can reach 0.6g, and the g-value of the accelerated whole process has not shown a significant downward trend, and the whole process has maintained a strong acceleration posture, with a strong sense of pushing back, and finally achieved a breakthrough of 4.6 seconds. The maximum g-value of the ideal ONE started to about 0.7g, but the second half of the attenuation was large, and the final breakthrough was 6.9 seconds.
Ask the boundary M5 acceleration curve
Ideal ONE acceleration curve
Next, we conducted two car 100km/h-0 brake tests.
Q&A M5 braking attitude
Ideal ONE braking attitude
From the data in the P-box, it can be seen that the maximum deceleration g-value of the QR M5 quickly approached -1.5g, and then stabilized to about -1.1g, and finally it achieved a braking stop of 36.34 meters. The maximum deceleration g value of the ideal ONE is maintained at about -1g throughout the process, and the process is relatively smooth, and the final result is 38.22 meters.
Ask the boundary M5 brake curve
Ideal ONE braking curve
On the whole, in the performance test, the M5 showed a strong mechanical quality, acceleration and braking of the two items are much better than the ideal ONE results, and truly achieve "running fast, but also standing". The ideal ONE is more calm, mainly because the huge body limits its play in this link.
The third link: smart cockpit
With the continuous popularization of automobile intelligence, whether a car is smart enough has also become a particularly important indicator for consumers when purchasing vehicles. In order to fully feel the level of intelligence of the M5, in this link, we have invited Tesla Model Y, the current hottest product in the field of electric vehicles, to compete.
First of all, in terms of hardware, the Inquisition M5 uses a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 15.6-inch central control screen, while the Tesla Model Y adopts a dashboard-free design, and the size of the central control screen is smaller than that of the Q&I M5, which is 15 inches. The voice interaction system adopts self-research for both vehicles.
Q&A M5
Tesla Model Y
The biggest feature of the Q&I M5 is that it is equipped with a new HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit, which breaks through the three major pain points of the traditional car machine "few applications, slow upgrades, and poor experience", realizes easier interaction, makes it easier to obtain content resources, etc., and elevates the intelligence of the car to a new height. In addition, the system also supports multi-device interconnection, so that the real car is no longer just a vehicle attribute, but also a carrier of the Internet of Everything.
In contrast, Tesla, the localization of software is relatively poor, the experience is general, and the ecosystem is relatively closed, so that the third-party application of this set of car machines has been very few, and the experience in real life is really average.
Q&I M5 provides all-scenario free-flow calls, log in to the same Huawei account of mobile phones and car machines, under the distributed technical support of HarmonyOS, can realize the natural connection between navigation, music, video, changlian and other services between mobile phones and car machines, seamless operation.
Q&I M5 unblock function enables video calls
The switching between CMS camera and driving camera can capture the beautiful scenery outside the car in real time and share it to Huawei mobile phone with one click. In summary, these functions are not available in the Tesla Model Y.
Secondly, in terms of intelligent voice, we use voice control for the two cars to issue the same instructions including the software and hardware to control the vehicle, to see who has faster recognition speed, more accurate and higher achievement rate.
Q&I M5 whether it is speech recognition accuracy or achievement rate is significantly better than Tesla Model Y, this system supports up to 60 seconds of continuous dialogue, no need to repeat the wake-up at each command, the false break rate ≤1%, and is not afraid of interjection interrupts and invalid instructions, but also can achieve a sentence to arrange 2 tasks.
In addition, it also has a visual speakable function, most of the options in the central control screen, as long as we see can be completed by voice, convenient and fast in the driving process, and more importantly, it can minimize the traffic hazards caused by driver distraction.
summary
Through the duel of the above three links, we fully understand the comprehensive product strength of the M5.
First, it has a strong endorsement. With the support of HarmonyOS, a new technology interconnection system has been created, and the car is no longer an independent individual, but a key carrier in this ecosystem, which can better serve our car life than the other two popular competitors.
Second, the diversified car experience brought by the extended range power system, the pure electric endurance of nearly 200km for short-distance commuting in the city is completely enough, even if there is no power, it can be refueled, and the 1102km WLTP mileage allows you to have no worries.
Third, with strong power and solid control, the M5 has excellent dynamic driving performance, and achieves both driving quality and driving quality.
Finally, the M5 not only has the above advantages, but more importantly, its price is huge, the price is extremely high, and it is worth recommending.
