Speaking of smart SUV models, you will definitely think of the star model of the Roewe RX5, the leader of internet SUVs. Nowadays, SAIC Roewe has been deeply cultivating in the intelligent market for many years and has ushered in a new achievement, which is the new smart SUV officially launched by SAIC Roewe on March 17 - Whale, with a pre-price of 166,800 to 192,800 yuan.
This model is saicid motor Roewe's "bionic intelligent driving life form" based on scientific and technological innovation. As a new intelligent benchmark in fuel vehicles, Whale has integrated more youthful and personalized thinking from the aspects of vehicle design, performance and configuration to attract the attention of more young people. Let Xiaobian take you to see what are the highlights of the new car?
Whale is SAIC Roewe's latest intelligent achievement
The post-80s and post-90s generations dare to explore and pursue the ultimate intelligent technology experience. Whale's SUV meets the young generation's pursuit of intelligence by equipping it with advanced intelligent hardware and intelligent systems.
First, let's look at the hardware configuration. Whale is equipped with 29 intelligent driving sensors, integrating 3 millimeter wave radar, 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, high-precision positioning module, high-precision map and other configurations. A number of high-definition cameras form a real-time picture with no dead angle coverage in the whole region, the radar detection distance can reach 210 meters, the range covers a wide angle of 120 °, the elevation angle reaches 30 °, and the detection target speed accuracy is 0.5m/s, so that the accuracy of driving environment monitoring is guaranteed, and the application of efficient intelligent systems is laid a solid foundation.
The second is an intelligent system based on advanced hardware. The NGP intelligent driving pilot system allows vehicles to follow the navigation intelligent driving in the road section covered by the high-precision map to achieve the purpose of relieving the driver's nervousness. At the same time, the visual fusion automatic parking adopts the surround view camera + radar fusion automatic parking scheme, and the parking problem of novices can also be solved. In addition, there is AR real-life driving, which superimposes and integrates the real situation in front of the vehicle with information such as lane positioning, driving guidance, and environmental perception, bringing a more immersive driving experience to the driver, while reducing some safety hazards brought about by the blind spot of the A-pillar.
At present, it is difficult to see advanced configurations such as millimeter-wave radar and high-precision maps on fuel models, and Roewe Whale dares to be the first, making intelligent driving closer to consumers, and also enhancing the competitiveness of Whale in the same price range.
The bionic aesthetic is more in line with the aesthetics of the times
The name of the whale is very novel, which makes people think of the image of the deep-sea giant whale, and when you see the appearance of the new car, you will find that it is "as famous as its car". Whale's SUV adopts a bionic design, the grille shape adopts a pleated cut design, and with sharp LED headlights, you can feel the powerful aura of this car from the front face alone.
The wheelbase of the whale is up to 2760mm, and the design of the side slipback shape, smooth lines and hidden door handles makes the vehicle have a stronger integrity, a stronger sense of technology, and at the same time reduce the wind resistance of the whole vehicle. The interior of the new car is also full of technology, equipped with dual 12.3-inch IMAX high-definition screens, leather sports seats, 256-color mood lights and other high-end configurations, which is very good for the creation of a sense of luxury in the car. The design of the whale reflects the sense of technology and the sense of the future from the inside out, which is very in line with the aesthetics of today's young people.
The golden power combination empowers the "giant whale" core
The golden power combination of whales refers to the new generation of 2.0TGI blue-core engine + Aisin 8AT transmission. The engine features a lightweight all-aluminum body, mid-fuel direct injection technology and optimized dual variable valve timing technology with a peak torque of 370N·m.
The high performance of the vehicle is not only reflected in the abundant power, but also the smooth driving speed of the whole vehicle is also very important. The Aisin 8AT gearbox equipped with whale has the advantages of clear logic, quick response, smooth gear changes, etc., thereby improving the driving comfort of the whole vehicle.
summary
Whale's new SUV debuted worldwide at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2021, ushering in an official pre-sale after a year. The launch of the whale breaks through the design thinking of traditional cars, whether it is intelligent configuration, new bionic design, or vehicle performance, it reflects the efforts made by SAIC Roewe in terms of rejuvenation and personalization, and I believe that whale SUV will become a new intelligent benchmark in fuel vehicles.
