After the Guangzhou Auto Show, the Xiaopeng G9, which only appeared in appearance, has been attracting much attention, especially after the recent ideal L9 has been exposed in turn, Xiaopeng finally can't sit still, and yesterday put a wave of nine palace grids as a new car. There are many dry goods information points, but they are not explicitly stated, only the keywords are mentioned, and the only certainty is the G9 that was originally scheduled to appear at the Beijing Auto Show, which was limited by the postponement of the epidemic auto show and now officially announced the official unveiling in June.
Although the appetite is hanging, but not hanging the appetite is not Xiaopeng, but in fact, if you carefully speculate, there are still a lot of views and configurations, and we have summarized a few points for you:
1. In addition to high-computing chip, the electrical architecture is equally important. In fact, as early as last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Xiaopeng revealed some information, such as gigabit Ethernet as the backbone of the communication architecture, while supporting multiple communication protocols; for example, multiple controllers can synchronously refresh the software, the vehicle-level OTA time can be controlled within 30 min, and X-EEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture using central supercomputing + regional control of the high fusion hardware architecture. Translated over, not only is the response faster, the software operation range is wider, and even the OTA upgrade speed is faster, after all, electric vehicles are more and more like mobile phone electronic products, just a car chip is not enough, but the specific can bring users some substantive experience, can only wait for the official conference to announce.
2, assisted driving has always been the focus of Xiaopeng and even the entire new force brand publicity object, in last year's Xiaopeng 1024 Technology Day, Xiaopeng demonstrated the G9's XPILOT 4.0 goal to achieve parking lot point-to-point assisted driving. The main core of Xpilot 4.0 adopts two dual NVIDIA OrinX chips, with a maximum computing power of 508 TOPS, which is about 17 times higher than the 30 TOPS Xavier chips on P7 and P5. Judging from the G9's electrical architecture, the surplus computing power may participate in other on-board tasks.
In addition to a more powerful processor, the G9 will also use two Sagitar Juchuang lidars, placed under the left and right headlights, to improve the recognition of obstacles in the near and far field and increase the safety redundancy of urban NGP. The layout of this lidar will be much better than that of the Xiaopeng P5 or even the L9 and other competitors who are placed on the roof of the car, but the detection field of view will be relatively poor.
3, in the chassis parts with air suspension, which is also Xiaopeng's first model equipped with air suspension, according to the previous online news revealed, this air suspension system is Xiaopeng self-developed, not only can do the basic function of raising and lowering the body, its auxiliary driving camera will also participate in the dynamic adjustment of the air suspension, through the visual recognition of the undulations or potholes of the road surface, to dynamically adjust the height and softness of the air suspension to obtain a better driving experience. In the past, like the general MRC electromagnetic suspension, it would make adaptive adjustments to the soft and hard suspension through the ultra-high scanning speed, but what kind of effect it would have through the camera, I was still looking forward to it.
4, listening to music is only part of the needs of the cockpit, Xiaopeng's cockpit to do 5D immersion experience. Coincidentally, before the ideal L9 is also the audio as a selling point to break the news, but L9 is taking a home theater route, through the high-power audio with the seat to achieve 4D soundstage experience, Xiaopeng's 5D personal guess is based on the vibration of the 4D seat, adding the atmosphere light linkage and aromatherapy system, after all, can not always do the car water this stupid thing, personally feel that this function is better than nothing, but from the P7 on the Danna audio performance, G9's audio performance must be good. However, considering that the G9 uses a bezel-less door, this puts forward a big test for the sound insulation level of its car.
5, in addition to automatic driving, Xiaopeng is best at their voice assistant "Xiao P", basically all operations can be achieved through the voice assistant, but also can achieve the function of multitasking without multiple wake-ups, from the poster point of view, Xiaopeng G9's voice assistant may achieve no need to wake up word wake-up, and can achieve similar to Weilai, passengers with different seats can be activated.
6, with most of the current 2D plane interactive UI through the touch screen, Xiaopeng G9 can achieve 3D UI, will no longer be limited to the screen, this currently I do not have too many ideas in my mind, I hope it is not a very chicken gesture operation, like BMW's kind of waving and cutting songs.
7. In terms of energy replenishment mode, Xiaopeng said that the G9 can be charged in 5 minutes and 200km+, which I think is the biggest highlight of the G9's exposure. In fact, this is definitely a theoretical value, 200km should also be calculated according to clTC's calculation standards, combined with the 800V platform announced by Xiaopeng before, it can achieve up to 480 kW charging power, blind guess G9's battery pack should be about 100 degrees, and the cruising range should be more than 800km. However, the charging rate of this kind of thing still depends on the infrastructure, and the Porsche Taycan is a good example.
8, can achieve more powerful visual display, real-time 360 ° presentation, blind guessing is the use of camera scanning and modeling of the surrounding environment, presenting a 3D visualization scene.
The interior of the new car has not been revealed, but from the spy photos that have been taken before, the central control has chosen a long screen similar to the P7, and there is no dashboard behind the steering wheel but equipped with an LCD screen, which is also the design that most of the new forces love to use nowadays.
Although the appearance and the ideal L9 height collide in the face, plus the two cars are the main family travel, but from the interior and model positioning, the audience of the two cars is not the same gang, especially in terms of power, one is pure electricity and one is an extended range, the two cars should not constitute a competitive relationship. In addition, the positioning of Xiaopeng G9 globalization needs to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Xiaopeng brand upwards, whether the supercharge can be replaced, become a new weapon to solve consumer mileage anxiety, whether the pricing is reasonable, will become an important reason for whether the Xiaopeng G9 can sell well. Next, let's see how many surprises Xiaopeng can bring us.
