Acura exited the Chinese market, how far is Infiniti's way? This is a hot topic in the automotive industry in recent times. In contrast, Lexus's position in the domestic market is completely different, and there is even a saying of "BBL" circulating in the market, explaining that the full name of the abbreviation is "Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus". Audi's decline in the past two years is obvious to everyone, and Lexus is thriving. As an automobile practitioner, you have to ask why the brand of Lexus, the small editor of the car, can take root in the domestic market, I can only say that the brand's models have no obvious pain points, the overall reputation is also good, and the most important thing is that the debut is also very good, especially for Acura and Infiniti.
But in terms of configuration, Lexus has always been more Buddhist, and one configuration can eat for many years, just like Toyota. If nothing else, the old ben is indeed forbidden to eat, such as lexus headlights, we tested the LC 500h before, has been on the market for more than 6 years, just like its appearance, it can still be played today, especially the PSE technology that existed 10 years ago, even after 10 years is still one of the top technologies! The LS 500h, as the flagship sedan of the Lexus product line, although the exposure rate is far less than that of the 78S, whether it is 74 meters of low beam or 131 meters of high beam, it is not low-key at all. What is the level of Lexus' best-selling ES, headlights?
Model: 2021 300h Premium Edition (secondary top)
Lamp source: far and near light are LED features: matrix adaptive far and near light
Lamp quotation: The headlight quotation of the test model is 28572 yuan, which is the after-sales order price of the 4S store, that is, the price of buying a headlight. According to the staff of the 4S store, the headlights of ES have been reduced in price compared with before, and the original single headlights are more than 30,000. It can be seen from this that The zero-to-whole ratio of Lexus is still very high, if the front face is rear-ended as a whole, a pair of headlights will have to ask you for 60,000 yuan, or don't be stingy with car damage insurance, there is something it really pays you ah!
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
Most of Lexus models use different shapes of "three-eye headlights", (except for IS CT, also discontinued) there are horizontal, longitudinal and stacked arrangements, headlights are composed of three low-beam LEDs + a high-beam LED.
Among them, the ES headlights have a total of 24 small LEDs, and these 24 LED lights can be turned on or off individually.
The headlight control and mode adjustment are set on the left side of the steering wheel, which is very traditional, and the automatic mode can be opened directly by pressing the round button.
Compared with the same level of BBA models, Xiaobian feels that the taillights of Lexus ES are more recognizable, especially in the lighted state, a touch of dark red L-shaped light source appears to be very deep, although it is also a triangular taillight, but it is much more atmospheric than mercedes-Benz's "squinting eyes"!
Lamp brightness measurement unit: Lux
Definition: When the luminous flux obtained by an object that is uniformly illuminated by light is 1 lumen on an area of 1 square meter, its illuminance (light intensity) is 1 Lux.
Note: In the actual test of the car, in a dark room, light an ordinary candle, when the human eye is 30cm away from the candle flame, the light intensity felt is 10Lux.
Distance test: The near light is 11 meters closer than the big brother LS500h
Based on the test experience of previous Lexus models, the ES's headlight irradiation distance will certainly not disappoint, and the results are indeed the same. First look at the low beam, 62.1 meters of performance has exceeded the Audi Q7 (58 meters) we have tested before, it is worth mentioning that ES's big brother LS500h, near light dry to 73.9 meters, and even has reached the high beam level of some family cars, although LS500h headlight shape and actual configuration and ES comparison words do not have any tricks, but the flagship is indeed the flagship, compared to ES can also do.
High beam test: The ES brings surprises
Lexus ES high beam performance of 131.2 meters, the performance has been with the big brother LS500h side by side, but also we have tested the most powerful model within 500,000, don't look at Lexus no laser headlights, but this has exceeded bmw and Audi flagship models (laser is not activated), or that sentence, want to activate the laser headlights in the vast majority of domestic road conditions, it is very difficult, because there can not be a little visible light to reach a certain speed, so we do not have to worry about no laser headlights, high beam is not enough problem, combined with the domestic road conditions, laser headlights are basically a decoration , and the high beam irradiation distance of more than 130 meters for ES can be said to be very sufficient.
Launch Ceremony:
When the Lexus ES headlights are lit, they will have a left-right/front-and-forth sweep effect, which still looks very obvious, but it should be noted here that the sweep effect is achieved by high beams, unlike most models that are implemented close to the light. The three LEDs of the low beam have a physical drive to swing up and down, that is, this is a physical adjustment, which is essentially different from the adaptive high beam that achieves adaptive adaptation through different LEDs.
Adaptive high beam:
BladeScanTM extreme speed rotating mirror type high beam adaptive control system, is Lexus's latest and most advanced headlight AHS technology, the headlight is arranged with 6000 revolutions per minute rotating reflective mirror, to reflect the LED light source emitted beam, improve the soft illumination of high beam and precise control, it is said that it can achieve accurate to 0.1 degrees of irradiation angle control. Compared with some conventional high beam adaptive control systems of the same level of friends, Lexus this system can more accurately control the distribution of light, while expanding the range of light illumination, to avoid dazzling other vehicles when following and meeting cars.
In the actual experience, ES's high beam can effectively avoid the object and the vehicle in front, in simple terms, there is a car or a place with a light source, it will directly become a "black frame", the camera recognition efficiency is very high, and the same direction electric bicycle about 80 meters in front of the visual inspection can also be recognized in time, you know, the taillight brightness of the electric bicycle is already very low. The camera can achieve this level, which is simple to say, but it is not easy to land, and it requires very high accuracy to achieve such recognition efficiency.
The camera for road condition monitoring is located at the top of the front windshield and looks small, but the accuracy is very high. If there is a collision in this position, of course, it is not just as simple as changing a windshield, I used to think that Lexus's zero-to-whole ratio should be OK, but when I knew that ES's single headlight was 30,000 pieces smaller, I found that the zero-to-whole ratio of this brand really did not lose Tovo. (Volvo's zero-to-to-piece ratio has always been the highest brand in each market segment.)
#编辑总结
Combined with the LS500h and LC500h tested by Shangfeng Travel, the headlight irradiation performance of the ES300h is also online, or that sentence, Lexus technology may not be new, it is relatively low-key, but the actual performance is still very competitive. Compared with the German system to play the lamp out of these brands, Lexus lights in the appearance has always had its own attitude, and the functionality and the actual experience of the sense of no difference, which is back to the original intention of the headlight test column, a headlamp in the end is not good to use, only tried to know, the manufacturer's promotion of a page of PPT, can not represent the use of the landing effect.
To digress, Xiaobian as a 5 series owner, in the 95 gasoline 9 blocks more than a day, opened a week Lexus ES, to be honest a little touched, but ES has a "BUG" is really tangled, 12.3-inch central control screen only 300h top with the executive version only, the rest of the models are all 8-inch small screen, which is a little too insincere! Five minutes before the press release, Xiaobian learned that the landing price of the 300h administrative version in Beijing is now more than 550,000, and the top match is really discouraged.
