At present, electrification and intelligence have become an important direction for the development of the automotive market, and among them, the M5 is equipped with the industry-leading Hongmeng OS intelligent cockpit system with Huawei's deep empowerment, realizing the opening of the car machine and mobile phone accounts, and at the same time, the same interactive experience, rapid response speed and software ecology advantages as the mobile phone make it famous in the car circle. So in addition to the strong advantages of the new car in terms of intelligence, can it meet the needs of consumers in daily use? The following is a detailed answer for you through the "Daily Usability Test Report".
Test vehicle: AITO Q&I M5 2022 4WD Ultimate Edition
Official guidance price: 319,800 yuan
First, the functional configuration test link
All four doors of the M5 series are equipped with a keyless entry function, and it is also equipped with a more convenient "comfortable access" function. After actual measurement, the driver needs to carry the key, when about 1 meter away from the vehicle, the vehicle can be automatically unlocked, on the contrary, away from the vehicle 1 meter can automatically lock, after many tests, the function induction is very sensitive, and there is no failure situation; the same as most pure electric vehicles, the M5 in the brake pedal when the vehicle will be officially started, and then the driver directly hang up the gear to drive, both have lazy happiness, but also have a scientific and technological force.
The mirror adjustment function of the M5 adopts the traditional operation mode, and the function button is located in front of the main driving window lift button. When adjusting the outer rearview mirror, you need to select the side of the exterior mirror that needs to be adjusted by the left or right, and then adjust the middle disc button to adjust to a reasonable position. In the actual measurement, the button area is large, and it has a certain texture, the adjustment process is smooth, and there is no obvious stuttering phenomenon. At the same time, all new cars support rearview mirror heating, automatic roll-down of reversing and automatic folding of locking cars.
The opening switch position of the engine cover is located in the lower left of the front of the driver's seat, and when opening, you need to pull the inside switch twice, and then turn the switch inside the hatch and lift it with the trend. The bonnet is supported by dual hydraulic support rods for good stability, and the bonnet is moderately heavy and effortless to lift.
Second, the comfort configuration test link
In terms of seats, the front seat adjustment buttons of the M5 are consistent with the traditional operation method, which is very convenient to adjust, and the main/co-driver seats of the new car are all 12-way electric adjustment, which is very thick. It is worth mentioning that the front seats also support 3-speed seat heating, ventilation and massage functions, and the rear seats provide 3-speed heating functions. In addition, the M5 is equipped with a "seat memory" function, which is enclosed in quotation marks because the function is switched by the user and can automatically adjust the seat position previously set by the user. In general, the practicality and comfort configuration of the Q&I M5 are relatively perfect.
In the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and end of the driver's seat of the Q&I M5 is 25cm, and the seat adjustable travel is wide, which can meet the needs of the vast majority of drivers.
The multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down + front and rear adjustment, the adjustable angle reaches 8.1 °, which is relatively wide, and the adjustable front and back distance is 6cm, which is at the average level of the same level.
The M5 rear seats are equipped with three headrests that can be adjusted up and down, and the area of the three headrests is not much different, the interior padding is softer, and the comfort performance is good.
The M5 central armrest box is very large and wrapped in a soft leather. Although the armrest does not support adjustment, it can give the driver full support to the elbow during driving, and the practical performance is remarkable.
Third, the multimedia configuration test link
The biggest highlight of the M5 vehicle is that it is equipped with Huawei's Hongmeng HarmonyOS system, which realizes the opening of the car machine and mobile phone accounts, improves the closed-loop ecological construction, and at the same time, the same interactive experience, response speed and software ecology as the mobile phone are also unmatched by other models of the same level, and the overall performance is very outstanding.
We also tested the radio function that is used the most often every day, the radio is located in the application at the bottom of the central control screen, and you can see the radio function when you click to enter. When adjusting the radio, the user can adjust the station left and right, and the lower left corner can also collect the driver's favorite radio station, and the collected radio station is placed in the "My" column in the upper right corner for the driver to find. In addition, the M5 also provides Internet radio, which not only has a rich choice of internal choices, but also plans for variety, making it more convenient for consumers to use. Of course, the driver can also adjust the radio channel through the voice, the speech recognition rate is very accurate, and the reaction speed is faster.
The front row of the M5 is equipped with 1 Type-A and 2 Type-C interfaces, and the rear air conditioner is equipped with 2 Type-C interfaces below the air outlet, considering that the current Use of Type-C Interface is not high, so consumers also need to buy adapters to use. It is worth mentioning that the left side of the M5 trunk is not only equipped with a 12V 120W power interface, but also equipped with a 220V 150W external discharge interface below, which can meet the needs of people's electrical appliances when they travel.
The navigation system of Q&C M5 is based on the core of AutoNavi map, the function is placed at the bottom of the main interface, after entering the navigation system, thanks to the large size of the central control screen, the display effect is very clear. When searching for destinations, it not only supports handwriting and pinyin search methods, but also provides voice search, of which speech also supports Mandarin, dialect and English, and the speech recognition rate is also very accurate. Once you've confirmed your destination, the navigator will recommend three routes for you to choose from according to your needs.
In addition, when setting the route, the driver can also set the route preference, including avoiding congestion, not taking the high speed, high speed priority, less toll, road priority, fastest speed, and search along the way.
After confirming the navigation path, the navigation information and maps can be mapped to the LCD dashboard and the HUD head-up display, which is convenient.
Fourth, the space configuration test link
As a space test that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "There is no shortage of highlights at the mechanical level, test drive 2022 AITO Q&AO M5", we have already experienced its riding space, and this time we will evaluate the same storage space and its convenience from the same amount of daily life.
In addition to the regular front door panel storage slots, glove box and central armrest box, the Inquisition M5 is equipped with a rare three cup holder, one of which is designed under the air conditioning outlet and equipped with a limiter inside. At the same time, a mobile phone wireless charging pad is designed on its left side, and it is worth mentioning that the wireless charging supports 40W power and has a high charging efficiency.
In addition, the left and right sides of the center console are also hollowed out, but due to the mechanical structure, the bottom can not be completely hollowed out, so the storage slot volume on the left and right sides is relatively limited, but it can be used to place some scattered small objects, and the convenience is still worth affirming.
In addition to the conventional storage position, two cup holders are also designed in the front of the central armrest box, while an irregular storage compartment is designed at the rear to further enhance the diversity of daily storage.
The overall performance of the trunk of the Q&C M5 is decent, and the internal volume performance is good, but after the rear seat proportion is lowered, it cannot form a complete plane, and after the platform is lifted, due to the mechanical parts such as electric motors at the bottom, it does not provide additional storage space.
For the basic value of the M5 trunk, we also measured the opening length of 90cm, the opening width was 110cm, the depth of the trunk was 95cm, and the vertical height of the trunk platform and the internal roof was 72cm.
Fifth, the safety configuration test link
In the vehicle front and rear vision test, all seats in the car have been adjusted to the lowest state, and the measured data has some deviations from the normal use of the driver, for reference only.
In the field of view in front of the test, we used a 70 cm high pile bucket as a reference and then adjusted the distance until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver's seat. After testing, the final measured data of the pile barrel and the front of the car was 293cm, which was in the average of the same class of models tested.
In the rear vision test, the pile bucket is still fixed and placed, and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be observed, and the measured distance is 1230 cm.
When testing the field of view of the exterior mirror, the tester first asks the tester to stand at a vertical distance of 10m of the left and right rearview mirrors, and then begins to move to the left and right sides until it appears at the outermost edge of the rearview mirror on both sides, and the lateral distance is measured. Then, calculated by a formula, the angle angle of the mirror's field of view can be derived. The larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of the mirror field, and conversely, the larger the blind spot of the mirror field.
The left and right exterior mirrors of the M5 use ordinary lenses, but thanks to the large area of the rearview mirrors, their field of view is very wide. The final test results of the rearview mirrors on both sides are 29° on the left and 20° on the right, and the field of view reaches the middle and upper reaches of the same level.
During the test, the reversing radar can sense the object behind it at 140cm, and the radar power performance is good. Referring to the previous test experience, the closer to 25cm in the continuous beeping stage, the closer it is to daily use habits. Judging from the measured data, the continuous beeping of the M5 indicates that there is a certain gap between the distance and the test experience value, and the driver needs time to run in.
The front parking radar is consistent with the rear parking radar, divided into four stages of beeping, the farthest can sense the object in front at 95cm, the radar power performance is good, the maximum distance of the continuous beep stage is 30cm, and there is also a certain gap with the test experience value.
It is worth mentioning that although the continuous beep of the front and rear radars indicates a slight gap between the distance and the test experience value, the distance between the vehicle and the front/rear obstacle will be identified in the reverse image of the boundary M5. After actual measurement, this value is basically consistent with the measured value, and the driver can refer to this value to achieve accurate control.
The M5 series of the Q&I M5 is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, which has a clear resolution, but there is a certain distortion, especially when the vehicle is close to the obstacle, the distortion of the obstacle object in the image is more serious. In addition, in the upper right corner of the image, a panoramic view of the low-speed steering, a transparent body, and a front trajectory line are also set up, all of which help the driver to observe the surrounding situation of the vehicle and improve safety.
In daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or U-turns, and the minimum turning radius of the vehicle is very important at this time. The minimum turning radius refers to the circular radius of the trajectory that rolls over the support plane in the center of the outer steering wheel when the steering wheel is turned to the limit position and the car is steering at the lowest stable speed. The smaller the turning radius, the better the maneuverability of the car. Know the minimum turning radius of your car, and know what to expect when the vehicle turns or makes a U-turn to avoid scratching and other situations. After actual measurement, the turning radius of the M5 is 5.4m, which is in the middle and lower reaches of the same level of the tested model, and the driver needs to set aside a certain amount of reservation when completing the U-turn and other actions every day.
In addition to the main driving side of the M5, the other three car doors are equipped with in-car handles. The in-car handle is necessary for people with limited mobility, and it can also play a certain auxiliary role for passenger safety on bumpy roads.
Sixth, practical configuration highlights
1、HUAWEI SOUND
The Inquisition M5 is equipped with the HUAWEI SOUND sound system, which offers three soundstage modes and four sound styles. At the hardware level, the AITO M5 has 19 sounding units (4 speakers for the main driver's headrest are optional), including 1 dual voice coil subwoofer, 4 woofers, 2 surround units, 3 mid-units, 5 tweeters and 4 headrest units. A three-way speaker composed of high, medium and bass sound units makes the sound fuller and clearer.
It is worth mentioning that the AITO M5 also provides a private headrest audio, and the directional audio can bring a better immersive experience to the driver, effectively avoiding unnecessary impacts on the passengers in the car such as music and navigation information.
2. Steering wheel custom button
In the left multi-function steering wheel, the Q&I M5 is designed with a "custom" button, which the driver can set the button function through the central control screen, which provides switching instrument full-screen maps, switching multimedia audio sources, taking pictures internally, taking pictures (driving recorder) and capturing video recordings (driving recorder), etc., and the daily convenience performance is good.
3. Multiple cockpit scene modes
It is worth mentioning that the M5 also provides a variety of cockpit scene modes, mainly including three major scenes of rest, meditation and breathing, under different ambient sounds, the user's body and mind can be relaxed. It is a slight pity that this function cannot be activated when the vehicle's power is less than 30%, which may be considered to bring noise into the car when the engine is started, affecting the user experience.
summary
With the industry-leading Huawei Hongmeng HarmonyOS system, the performance of the Q&I M5 in the intelligent car and machine system is very eye-catching, which not only has a fast response speed, but also the richness of functions and the convenience of daily operation are impeccable, which is the biggest advantage of the Q&I M5. In terms of daily practicality, the overall performance of the M5 has also reached the expectations of testers, and its comfort and convenience functions have been remarkable. However, the new car still needs to improve some details, such as the distortion of the panoramic image camera, the trunk is not equipped with anchors, and so on. In general, as a new car-making force, AITO Q&A M5 has an overall performance in terms of practicality, and with the follow-up changes, I believe the product will be more perfect.
