Extreme Krypton 001 is a "high drive low walk" car.
The 100kWh battery is installed on a model that costs less than 300,000 yuan, or a cool hunting version, which is not hot, and it is difficult to bear it!
However, after months of waiting, the first batch of small partners to pick up the car found some problems. For example, the optional automatic doors are a bit clumsy, the navigation system is unresponsive, remote operation and Bluetooth operation interfere with each other, and so on.
Fortunately, it is an electric vehicle and supports OTA, which theoretically allows everything except hardware to be modified, and most of the problems about this car focus on the car. Coincidentally, March 23 ushered in the ZEEKR 001 V2.0 version for the owner of the full push, let's take a look at what kind of performance ZEEKR 001 after upgrading V2.0!
In order to give you a more intuitive understanding of this upgrade, we have made the following updates to the ZEEKR 001 V2.0 vehicle system:
Unlock ZEEKR AD Intelligent Assisted Driving: ACC Adaptive Cruise, AEB Active Brake, Cross Traffic Early Warning; Driving Mode Memory; Lock Car Automatic Window Lift; Remote Defrost Function; Support Door Manual Mode; Upgrade Transparent Body; Add 5G Switch; · · ·
Previously, the system version number of ZEEKR 001 was version 1.0.X, and from this upgrade to version 2.0, it can be known that the OTA upgrade is an annual major update, similar to the difference between iOS14 and iOS15, so the update content is more worth looking forward to.
For small partners who have just picked up the car, don't worry, here are the upgrade preparation steps for you. The vehicle is first powered on and the OTA software is received by silent download. Depending on the speed of the Internet, the download time varies, so you can turn on the vehicle comfort mode and set the function to more than 2 hours, so that you don't have to sit in the car and wait for the download boringly.
After the download is completed, the entire OTA upgrade process takes about 1 hour, so friends who are in a hurry to use the car should be fully prepared in advance.
OK, after a long 1 hour of waiting, the vehicle was finally OTA completed. The first upgrade of the ZEEKR 001 V2.0 system is the storage position adjusted for the main seat. Previously, this position was hidden very deeply, but now this interface can easily appear in the pop-up window of the central control screen, storing the current seat position, and will no longer return to its original position when the brake is pressed to be ready to hang up the gear because it is not saved.
It is commendable that the pop-up window on the driver's side of the central control screen not only has the option of saving position, but also provides external rearview mirrors, HUD head-up display, steering wheel position adjustment, containing a lot of content.
The most important improvement of this OTA should be the unlocking of the ZEEKR AD assisted driving system, but it should be noted that this update only opens some functions, including ACC adaptive cruise, AEB emergency braking and lane departure assistance, which belongs to the level of L2+ intelligent driving assistance. Although the ZAD button on the steering wheel can activate the auxiliary driving function, compared with Weilai, Xiaopeng, Tesla, etc., which can rely on high-precision maps to change lanes, lower ramps and other complex operations, the current ZAD still has a lot of distance.
The function optimization also adds the element of "transparent body", in fact, according to the principle, it is not complicated, that is, the screen is synthesized through the cameras around the body, resulting in a transparent suspension effect. However, this is not a real-time picture, but there is a delay of 1-3 seconds, if during the reversing process, suddenly a cat jumps to the bottom of the car, then this transparent body is difficult to find. However, it is more than enough to deal with fixed road teeth, parking lines, and corner piers.
V2.0 version also has a new upgrade to the 5G network, the user can freely choose, and turn off this button, the default use of 4G network. The speed of 5G network is faster, the coverage of 4G network is wider, and users can choose the most suitable network for them according to the actual situation. But I have a question, the system automatically chooses badly based on the network signal strength at that time? This also simplifies menu operations.
The ZEEKR 001 V2.0 system has also been upgraded for this controversial door. Previously, users who had installed the electric door could not turn off the automatic function, but it was easy to scratch in the automatic state, and it could be easily switched from automatic mode to manual mode after upgrading.
But the problem is, spent 15,000 yuan to install the electric door function, but to manually turn it off, this money is used to buy a top Huawei or iPhone, is it not fragrant?
summary
The upgrade of zeeKR 001 V2.0 generally focuses on the four scenarios of getting on, driving, parking and getting off, and more intimate optimization also makes this car more convenient to use.
With the increase of users, there will be more and more problems to be exposed, and in view of the V2.0 upgrade, we also see ZEEKR's determination and strength in dealing with optimized user issues, I believe that the V3.0, V4.0 · · · Version, will make the function and operation more delicate, which may be the biggest charm of OTA upgrade.
