As Nezha Automobile's exploration of the future new intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving and intelligent safety technology, Nezha S was rated as one of the "most anticipated new energy vehicles in 2022" by the industry, although the current sales volume of Nezha Automobile can be said to have squeezed into the first-line camp of new forces, but it has to be said that the brand awareness is still slightly inferior to Wei Xiaoli, and Nezha S may really send it into the first-line camp in one fell swoop.
On April 14, the official public account of Nezha Automobile released a number of interior design drawings of Nezha S, this time introducing the multi-functional suspension steering wheel of Nezha S, you can see that there are very simple roller buttons on the top, with the suspension central control screen next to it, it can be said that it is very in line with the aesthetics of young people.
Since 2022, Nezha Automobile has continuously released information about the appearance, interior and part of the power of Nezha S, and today I will take you to review all the information that this car is currently consistent, first look at the key refinement:
1. The first landing product of Shanhai Platform will be equipped with L4 level automatic auxiliary driving system
2. The body width is 1980mm, positioning the B-class digital electric coupe, which is expected to be pre-sold in April and listed in 2022
3. In terms of appearance, the coupe-type body design is adopted, equipped with split headlights, and hidden door handles and borderless doors are added, and the appearance of the new car looks very aggressive
4. The machine screen adopts the four-screen combination of LCD instrument + 17.6-inch central control screen + 12.3-inch co-pilot screen + HUD head-up display, and the mass production model may adopt a panoramic canopy design
5. Provide two versions of extended range and pure electric models: the extended range version is 1100km, the pure electric version has a mileage of 800km (NEDC working conditions), and the four-wheel drive version will adopt the front and rear dual motor design, peak power 340kW, overall peak torque 600N·m, and zero hundred miles acceleration of 3.9 seconds
6. Support up to 240kW fast charging power, 150km in 5 minutes, 80% recharge in 20 minutes
7. The wind resistance coefficient of the new car is less than 0.23Cd
Specifically, in terms of appearance, the overall visual effect of the new car is wider and lower, using a fully enclosed grille with split headlights, with strong recognition, the bottom of the front of the car adopts a large mouth honeycomb front bracketing design, slipback modeling + hidden door handle design, the overall visual feeling is more dynamic, the line on the top of the car is gentle and smooth, the outline of the rear adopts a multi-segment tough model line, and the all-black roof design.
In terms of interior, in addition to the more eye-catching four-screen combination, it also has the functions of independent full-frequency headrest audio for the main driver, scene-based interactive light language, and intelligent gesture recognition. It is reported that the area of the panoramic dimming sky curtain of Nezha S reaches about 2 square meters, and it supports 10 levels of light and shade adjustment.
In terms of size, although the specific size has not been announced in addition to the width, but from its and Eureka 03 concept car and its similar appearance, it should be similar to its size, Eureka 03 body size is 4800/2000/1400mm in length, width and height, and wheelbase is 2900 mm (width difference of 20mm), so it is inferred that the wheelbase of Nezha S should be above 2850mm, positioned as a medium-sized car.
Why is there an L4 autonomous driving and urban pilot assistance capabilities?
The reason is the full-stack self-developed TA PILOT 4.0 intelligent driving system, which uses Huawei's MDC 610 chip.
Among them, Huawei's MDC platform and algorithm can achieve 200TOPS high computing power.
The hardware is equipped with 2 solid-state lidar, 11 assisted driving cameras (including 2 forward 8M cameras, 4 surround view cameras, 5 circumferential cameras), 5 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic sensors, high-precision positioning units and high-precision maps and other perception units, which can achieve pilot assistance driving on high-speed/urban roads, and can achieve L4-level assisted driving in multiple scenarios such as parking/remote summoning.
In addition, Nezha S will be equipped with City Pilot Assist, High Speed Pilot Assist and Last Mile Parking/Pick-up.
What else does the Shanhai platform bring to Nezha S?
In addition to L4 level assisted driving, in terms of intelligent cockpit, the products under the "Shanhai Platform" will be equipped with a cockpit domain controller, with a central processor, graphics processor and AI computing unit, the computing power is at the top of the industry, cross-chip, cross-platform, flexible configuration. In a word, this cockpit is very smart.
There is also security, "security" referred to by the "Shanhai Platform" is not only life and property, but also a number of breakthroughs around active and passive security, network security, functional safety, battery safety, etc., to achieve global five-star security standards. In terms of network security, the application of 360 car brain to fully protect user privacy and vehicle system security; battery safety, active and passive two-pronged approach, in the cell level, module level, package level for layer inhibition, multi-round testing, to ensure that the measures are effective.
Who are the competitors?
From the current information, the competitive products are designated in the Xiaopeng P7, Tesla Model3 and other similar models, in terms of AI computing power and auxiliary driving, Nezha S is a very competitive advantage, but because too much information about the current new car has not been disclosed, it is still impossible to accurately compare.
What colors are available?
According to the spy photos previously exposed, Nezha S may have 10 colors to choose from, these 10 colors are pine green, miao yellow, amber brown, glacier blue, ceramic blue, moon silver, pearl white, Xuan black, Xiangrui purple and Tianling red.
Is there a single motor version?
Although there is only some information about the extended range model and the dual-motor model, the industry speculates that there are single-motor versions.
What is the approximate price?
In fact, there is a lot of speculation in the industry on this issue, and said about 150,000, there are 20-300,000, there are about 300,000, Xiaobian believes that the new car pricing is about 200,000-300,000, from the currently announced model configuration and parameters, the new car should not be too cheap, 150,000 is basically unlikely, and considering that Nezha has been taking the cost-effective route, the probability of 300,000 is not large, so 20-300,000 is the most likely.
From the perspective of the announced appearance, interior, power and intelligent driving, Nezha S is still very capable of playing, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people now, but whether the new car can quickly become a blockbuster after the new car is listed or depends on the cost performance, I believe that if Nezha S pricing is appropriate, it can still win the love of many consumers.
