With a budget of 800,000 to buy an electric SUV, aside from the Tesla Model X, there is only one option, which is the HiPhi-X 4-seat version of Gaohe.
But yesterday, with another option, Lotus launched its first pure electric SUV model, the Eletre, which is pronounced quite like Shanghainese. The price of the new car has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be between 800,000 and 1 million.
The high-end SUV market is long overdue
In the second half of 2021, there will always be a watch, more than 500,000 luxury brand electric vehicle sales, Gaohe HiPhi-X punch porsche Taycan, foot Audi e-tron, Tesla Model X is basically crushed into ashes.
On the one hand, this is because Gaohe HiPhi-X products are very strong, on the other hand, it is also because Gaohe's market segment is very accurate, million-level luxury electric SUV, and there is really no one that can roll.
And this market segment should have been rolled up a long time ago.
Intelligent electric SUV, excellent performance experience, excellent intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, should also be "devolved" to the rich people also enjoy ah!
Lotus Eletre was the first to roll up, and as soon as it appeared, it was "Roll God", performance, intelligent driving, cockpit are all full, we directly look at the report card of the Roll God.
Zero Hundred Acceleration 2.95 seconds 600km Cruising Range (WLTP) 800V High Voltage Platform, 10%-80% Charging Only 20 Minutes CDC + Air Spring + Rear Wheel Steering, Corner Limit 1.1G Acceleration 10 Piston Carbon Ceramic Brake 4 LiDAR + 7 X 8 Million Cameras 2 X NVIDIA Orin Chips, 508Tops hashrate 15.1 inch foldable central control screen 29 inch AR-HUD2 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 cockpit chip 2160w, 23 speaker KEF audio
This report card is like your class is handsome, good grades, not partial students, intelligent electric SUV "stacking" this thing is capped, at least in the short term everyone does not have to argue anymore, anyway can not pile lotus.
Lotus strength shows you how much you can do whatever you want by selling to the rich.
Run fast, smart driving is still strong
The most frightening thing is that not only is the performance very strong, but the intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit are also killed. You might diss "pile up" who wouldn't? At the heart of the smart cockpit are algorithms and software.
Sorry, who said you had to do it yourself? Who says self-development is stronger? The core software and algorithms can also be solved with money, and Lotus formed a joint venture with Momenta last November, which will inject soul into the new car with full hardware.
Of course, Lotus is so stacked, I don't know what Momenta's engineers think, after all, Momenta has always been the main focus on visual algorithms, how much can you give some face?
4 lidar, two before and after the use of Hesai AT128, and the ideal L9 the same model, the main attack on medium and long-distance detection, the maximum detection distance of 10% reflectivity is 200m, can be understood as the highway, can be detected 200 meters in advance of the black vehicle parked in the middle of the road.
The left and right two use Sagitar Juchuang M1, the same as the Xiaopeng G9, mainly attacking near-field perception, and the high scanning evaluation rate can reach 25 times per second, which can be understood as even if you flash to the side of the car at a speed of 1/25 second, it will be captured by radar. The exception M1 has a self-cleaning function, even if this area is easily contaminated with sludge, it does not affect the system's perception of the environment.
The level FOV of the 4 lidars is 120°, and it is theoretically not a problem to stitch together a 360-degree laser point cloud to perceive the environment, which is not difficult for Momenta to do Robotaxi.
What is more outrageous is that this car also uses 4D millimeter wave radar, as well as a medium and long-range lidar, and 4 angle radars. With 7 8 million cameras, the superposition of three 360° perception data of laser point cloud, vision and millimeter wave point cloud is realized.
This is very difficult for perceptual fusion, and if it is the post-fusion that is now customary, then this information is not necessary. If it is pre-adoption fusion... Lotus Eletre will be put into production in 2022, delivered in 2023, and in 1 year' time, hoping for a major technological breakthrough.
Even if the Lotus Eletre is a bit overdone, it is really rolled up, at least let the friends lying on the ground know what a 1 million-level luxury pure electric SUV should look like.
