I for Xiaopeng P5 can be described as familiar and unfamiliar, as a key model of Xiaopeng Automobile, there are also a lot of contacts for P5, but every time they rub shoulders with the driver's seat, this time invited to participate in the Xiaopeng Automobile Intelligent Experience Camp P5 special session, just give me a chance to make up. This time, in addition to experiencing the basic product power of Xiaopeng P5, you can also deeply experience the newly added auxiliary parking function of Xiaopeng P5 - memory parking. The plan cannot keep up with the changes, and due to the impact of objective reasons such as the epidemic, our activity form has changed from the original fixed venue to our free choice of venue experience. After leaving the "comfort zone" arranged by the manufacturer, can xiaopeng P5 approach or even achieve the effect of official declaration in the actual use environment?
In terms of design, P5 and P7 use a completely different design style, compared to the highly futuristic design of P7, P5 as a whole is much flatter, the front face still adopts the Design Style of Xiaopeng Family, compared with the split headlights of P7, there is less publicity and more affinity.
The side lines are also more inclined to traditional cars, the proportion is more substantial, and the carriages occupy the largest proportion of the whole car. The two-color body increases the layering of the whole car, and the hidden door handle is not absent, which can still bring a more satisfactory performance in the details. The rear styling adopts a through-type taillight design, which is good when lit and echoes the headlights. The rest maintains a minimalist design style, and the overall appearance is quite well-behaved.
The interior is more impressive than the appearance, first of all, the layout of the center console is quite regular, the design of the LCD dashboard and the central control screen has greatly simplified the physical buttons, which looks more concise and flavorful, and the addition of wooden trim can highlight the atmosphere of home.
In addition, the spatial performance has also reached a satisfactory level, whether it is the front or the back row can give the seating space beyond the same level. A slightly less objectionable is the steering wheel, which can only be adjusted up and down and is not so friendly for taller drivers.
In terms of dynamics, the 550P model we test drove is equipped with a front-mounted single-motor electric drive system, which is a more common layout in the same class. The maximum power is 155kW, the peak torque is 310N·m, and the power performance is in line with the data. The overall adjustment is also more decent, the power distribution is quite gentle, it will not give people an abrupt feeling, and it will not feel uncomfortable for a long time. Riding performance can also give surprises, you can feel the shock absorber tuning bias is comfortable, the trip is very long and at the same time relatively soft, the handling ability of the road vibration is very strong, the size of the impact can be resolved one by one, soft at the same time there is no kind of swing like driving a boat, daily driving situation is very comfortable. Of course, the standard Michelin silent tires are also indispensable, providing suitable grip while improving the quietness of the car is quite obvious.
Come to the two features we focused on this experience, APA Intelligent Assisted Parking and VPA/VPA-L Memory Parking. In addition to the two iconic lidars, there are 5 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, plus 13 cameras, and there is really no need to say anything about the hardware part.
APA intelligent auxiliary parking function, the system will determine whether the current APA can be opened, and real-time identification of nearby parking spaces, the driver can be successfully identified by the system to choose from the parking space, according to the system's guidance after operation, the vehicle will automatically park in the parking space.
The VPA / VPA-L is the memory parking function, the system will remember the parking space after learning, when driving into the garage and reaching the memory position, the system will prompt whether to remember parking, after determining the vehicle will automatically follow the memory route to the parking space. The VPA-L is an advanced version of VPA that can be used in cross-floor garage scenes.
Regarding the precautions of these two kinds of assisted driving, we will not repeat them here, and interested friends can learn from the official channels of Xiaopeng Automobile. Compared with the function introduction of the manual, I believe that everyone is more concerned about the actual performance of use, and we will explain the venue of the experience before starting.
We chose a relatively old multi-storey parking lot, unlike the official publicity of the basement, our site this time is a reverse cross-floor, and because of the relatively old, the road conditions are much worse than the basement of the commercial area, and the layout of the parking spaces will be much messier. Coupled with the chaotic access routes, as well as a large number of debris, it can be said that it is a more representative scene. Due to the conditions and equipment restrictions at that time, only the outside and inside of the car can be photographed separately, and there may be a slightly out of sync situation, which is only used to show the state of the car under different visions.
Let's experience the more conventional APA first, which is also a small warm-up for the P5. The APA function is very simple to turn on, only need to be turned on in the parking lot via on-screen buttons and voice recognition. The accuracy of the system for parking space recognition is still relatively high, whether it is a vertical parking space or a side parking space, it can be effectively identified.
For a relatively open environment, xiaopeng P5 does not have any pressure to deal with, so what about the situation with vehicles and obstacles? Our target parking space selection has a special scene with vehicles parked on the right and columns on the left. It can be seen that the Xiaopeng P5 is more reasonable in the distance and route arrangement, there is no confusion due to the difference in obstacles, and the experience of empty parking spaces is the same, and it successfully parks in the target parking space.
In terms of parking execution, the P5 performed quite well, we experienced parking spaces without obstacles, and parking spaces with vehicles and columns, and P5 could park in the target parking spaces efficiently and safely. Distances can be estimated via the screen throughout the process, allowing the driver to more intuitively understand the progress of the vehicle's parking so that it can take over the vehicle more quickly in the event of an unexpected situation. We also simulated the termination of assisted parking after an unexpected situation, only by pressing the brake pedal, you can stop the vehicle and enter a silent state, and when the environmental safety is confirmed, it needs to be confirmed again through the screen before it can continue.
It seems that the standard APA-assisted parking function is easy for the P5, so how does the VPA-L perform? Since cross-level parking is a more common situation, we skip the VPA directly to experience VPA-L. First of all, the memory process, this process is not cumbersome, just need to meet the conditions, according to the guidance of self-parking, you can activate the VPA-L at the beginning of the memory path, so that the vehicle according to the memory path to the parking space.
In the actual experience, the overall performance of the vehicle is stable, and the choice of path is also very cautious, there will be no sudden dynamic changes, and the lamps will be adjusted according to the actual driving state of the vehicle. In the face of road conditions, there is also a good recognition, and the identification of uphill and road obstacles is basically in place, and the experience after reaching the target parking space is consistent with the situation when APA.
Summary: In the scene we set, Xiaopeng P5 can perform auxiliary parking instructions relatively well, in addition to artificially terminating the execution on the way, the whole process is basically smooth. It can be said that this system has a certain degree of practicality, especially for users with fixed underground garage parking spaces, only need to record the target parking spaces, this "last kilometer" can be expanded to "last two kilometers", effectively reducing the intensity of daily commuting. However, we still have a slight regret in this experience, due to objective reasons and the limitations of the scene, we cannot experience the actual experience of the system in the case of traffic flow and crowd flow, and we also look forward to more opportunities for experience in the future.
After a day of experience, the understanding of Xiaopeng P5 is also more in-depth, P5 proves that the auxiliary parking function is not only a selling point on the flyer, but also a high usage rate in daily use scenarios. The overall performance of the comprehensive P5, while maintaining the maximum practicality, can also have the intelligent performance of those fun models. What the future car will look like, perhaps everyone does not have a very clear image, but Xiaopeng P5 uses its actual performance to outline the future development direction of the future car. However, I would like to remind everyone here that when using assisted driving, you also need to be vigilant at all times, be ready to take over the vehicle at any time, and enjoy the convenience of assisted driving while ensuring safety.
