After the launch of the Xiaopeng P5, there has been a constant controversy about its related issues. Some people think that its entry price of 177,900 yuan, the endurance is only 460km, and the selling points of the publicity are mostly optional, and there is no cost performance at all. Some people think that it is intelligent and powerful, and it is also equipped with lidar and sleeping space, which is very good. So what about the Xiaopeng P5?
Where is the selling point of Xiaopeng P5?
From the perspective of traditional fuel vehicles, the basic quality of Xiaopeng P5 is not strong. There is space for B-class cars, but there are also prices for mainstream B-class joint venture cars. The chassis and suspension have been criticized a lot, especially the rear suspension is a non-independent suspension of the torque beam that is very rare at this price point. The 460km pure electric endurance and configuration of the entry-level model are also extremely weak in the price range of the Xiaopeng P5. From this point of view alone, Xiaopeng P5 really has no cost performance at all. The high-end models with rich equipment will face the competition of BYD Han, so the cost performance is general.
But from the perspective of intelligence, the configuration of Xiaopeng P5 is quite good. Whether it is the first mass production model equipped with infrared radar or Xiaopeng's self-developed XPILOT 3.5 intelligent driver assistance system, it is very tempting. XPILOT 3.5 intelligent driver assistance system enables xiaopeng P5 to have urban NGP function, and the scope of application is extended from high-speed/expressway to urban roads. In addition to the new urban NGP function, XPILOT 3.5 will also bring high-speed NGP-L intelligent navigation assisted driving enhancement version, as well as VPA-L cross-floor parking lot memory parking, which can cross B1 and B2 to achieve cross-floor memory parking in parking lots. With the help of lidar, Xiaopeng P5 will recognize plug vehicles earlier, identify stationary vehicles more accurately, and perceive small objects more accurately.
In addition to intelligent configuration, another attraction of Xiaopeng P5 is the concept of "third space". Xiaopeng has also proposed the concept of "23-hour intelligent third space", believing that the "entertainment", "leisure" and "relaxation" that people need in daily life can be realized in the car. These include a projector, inflatable mattress, refrigerator, smart fragrance and more.
What is the cost performance of Xiaopeng P?
From the perspective of traditional fuel vehicles alone, the configuration of the Xiaopeng P5 is not inferior to the joint venture mid-size car of the same price in terms of cost performance, in addition to the rear suspension and chassis slightly lost, in the main / passive safety configuration, auxiliary / control configuration, multimedia configuration and other aspects are much ahead. However, compared with domestic brand models at the same price, especially compared with zero-run C11 and other models, Xiaopeng P5 has no advantage, but this is not the reason why Xiaopeng P5 has no cost performance.
The selling point of Xiaopeng P5 is the intelligent aspect, mainly the XPILOT 3.5 intelligent driving assistance system and the "third space". XPILOT 3.5 intelligent driving assistance system requires an additional charge, if you want to open it for life, you need to spend an additional 20,000-45,000 yuan; the "smart comfort space" and "smart sleep space" of the "third space" are optional in most models, requiring an additional cost of 20,000 yuan and 12,000 yuan. The infrared lidar in the most critical gimmick of the Xiaopeng P5, "the first mass production model equipped with infrared lidar", only exists in the top and sub-top models. This has led to the fact that if you want to fully experience the advertised Xiaopeng P5, you may need to spend nearly 300,000 yuan directly tesla Model 3, which is also the reason why many people think that the price of Xiaopeng P5 is inflated.
summary
Not counting the extra option, the cost performance of Xiaopeng P5 itself is actually not bad, and it also belongs to the midstream level in domestic brands. But the problem with Xiaopeng P5 is that its main publicity selling points are almost all in the selection, which makes many scheduled car owners have a strong psychological gap. The original main function is almost at an additional cost, and the price is not low, which makes the Xiaopeng P5 become flashy.
