At last year's Shanghai Auto Show, roewe booth exhibited a compact crossover SUV with a very sci-fi shape, and this new car was highly concerned by consumers as soon as it was unveiled. After a year, on March 17, Roewe officially finally officially released this smart SUV: Whale.
Officials call the whale a bionic intelligent driving life body, indicating that the owner of this car plays intelligent technology. At the same time as the release of the new car, the pre-price was announced, with a total of three configurations, from low to high, namely the beluga version, the killer whale version, and the blue whale version, and the pre-sale price range was: 16.68-19.28 million yuan.
At the same time, the official also prepared a zero-interest financial program, APP points, lifetime original vehicle warranty, official repurchase of used cars and lifetime free system upgrades for the intended users of the "Whale World Courtesy".
In the era when appearance is justice, good looks have become a necessary condition for consumers to buy a car. Many of the styling details of the new car clearly borrow from the shape characteristics of whales in the ocean. Whales are the most special-looking mammals on Earth, with a streamlined posture and a strong sense of power. Roewe Whale adopts a new "rhythm wake-up" design concept, dynamic slipback shape with forward swooping front, creating a strong momentum; the front face grille area breaks through the traditional design boundary, and the body is integrated, expressing intelligence and advanced sense.
The Energy Cube-Starship headlights symbolize the huge energy contained in the whale, and with the combined position lights of the Time and Space Gate, the Interstellar Tunnel Sub-lamp and the Tunnel Door Tail Light, the vehicle recognition is emphasized; the rearview mirror is also branded with a luminous lion logo, further enhancing the sense of exclusivity and value. The new car also integrates the diversified expressions of design circles, fashion circles, art circles, architectural circles and other fields through parametric design means, highlighting the scientific and technological style and high-level sense in details.
The side and rear of the car are also equally handsome, the shape of the back plus the suspension roof and hidden door handles are very similar to new energy models, and the design of the through-type taillights and split brake lights is very novel. In addition, the new car is also equipped with five bright colored wheels with red brake calipers, adding a touch of sportiness to the new car. The new car has a length, width and height of 4702/1903/1691mm, and a wheelbase of 2765mm.
The interior color with a strong marine atmosphere, the use of a large area of white and blue stitching, and this blue is a grayish tone, much like the color of the whale, at the same time, the gear lever is also made similar to the whale's tail style, the seat is also tattooed with whale LOGO, folds on the trim board and other designs, the bionic design is very good, I have to say that Roewe did some effort in the details.
As a smart fuel vehicle, Roewe Whale has made a breakthrough in intelligence, and the biggest highlight is naturally the Roselle intelligent cockpit system. The system uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 flagship chip, which is also the most advanced vehicle specification chip, using a 7nm process, lower power consumption, stronger performance, coupled with the strongest 8-core CPU of the same level, the chip computing power can reach 3.6 million times / second, creating a strong hardware foundation.
In the intelligent cockpit, the most concerned is its intelligent voice interaction system. It uses the industry's advanced "cultivated AI semantics", is the world's first 7-day self-evolving system, based on the world's largest semantic library and the world's leading deep language model system, the longer you spend with users, the more you can understand, learn faster, and know more. As for whether it can be called "the strongest car voice in history", we will not say, but this main "emotional intelligence" is very forward-looking, more understanding of users, more able to think, and can evolve.
Today, while automotive energy is replaceable, our quest for strong power will not change. Whale is equipped with a 2.0T blue-core engine with Aisin 8AT transmission, a 2.0T turbo engine called Ocean Power, which can provide a maximum power of 179kW and a maximum torque of 370N·m from the perspective of power parameters, hoping that this power system can play its full performance in the future and be independent.
Che Yun summary
As a traditional car company with a long development time, Roewe's performance in the field of new energy in recent years has not been so prominent. Today, there are only three new energy models exhibited on the official website of SAIC Roewe (one of which is a micro-electric vehicle). But it has to be said that the release of Roewe Whale has helped the brand find its sense of existence to a large extent.
The design of the new car incorporates whale elements, the lines are smooth, and the rounded design looks very natural. In addition, the configuration space of the new car is also fully in line with the mainstream level, and the power advantage is also very distinct, which is a model with good comprehensive strength. If the future can show enough sincerity in pricing, then Che Yunmei believes that this car will also be appreciated by some young consumers.
