Polar Fox Alpha S New HI Edition, 400,000 Little Foxes are coming

Tomorrow the Polar Fox is going to send a new car.

This car is described on the official WeChat public account of Jihu. "Two strivers partners, a world-class car". The two partners refer to the Pole Fox and Huawei, the world-class car is naturally the protagonist of tomorrow, the Pole Fox Alpha S new HI version.

It is not possible to say that it is a new car, this polar fox Alpha S new HI version is based on the ordinary Alpha S, equipped with a complete set of car machines and driver assistance systems provided by Huawei. In terms of appearance, three lidars were added to the front part of the car, some chrome decoration was added to the rear of the car, and the entire body size was a little longer than the ordinary version.

It feels like an annual Apple conference, where each generation of iPhones seems to have changed a lot, and nothing seems to have changed. You say, Polar Fox, does this count as learning the essence of apples~

The highlights of the new car are also clear, equipped with the intelligent cockpit of the Hongmeng OS system, equipped with Huawei Kirin car chip; it is also the first mass production model equipped with Huawei's high-end automatic driving ADS system. From the price point of view, the pre-price is 388,900 yuan and 429,900 yuan, which is 86,000 to 137,000 yuan more expensive than the ordinary version. This difference is basically the price of a landing Fit.

PK of smart driving and driving control

Combined with the pricing range of the vehicle itself, we set up two keywords "more than 350,000" and "pure electric car", which can be seen that its competitors at the same price point are NIO ET7 and Zhiji L7. Since the price of the ET7 is at least above 440,000, the Zhiji L7 is more like a direct competitor to the new HI version of the Alpha S. Therefore, this issue brings you the new HI version of Alpha S compared to the Zhiji L7

Note: Due to the fact that the new HI version of Polar Fox Alpha S has not been officially listed, the source network, if there is any error, please correct it in the comment area.

The truth represents only personal opinions

First release the conclusion:

Let the little fox run a little longer

When I first entered the industry, the most expensive of the independent brands was the Hongqi L5, but its symbolic significance was greater than the actual significance, and there was no doubt about it. After two or three years in the industry, it has become the WEILAI EP9, which is still a product of symbolic significance.

Looking further back, the high-priced independent brands that are truly mass-produced and widely recognized by ordinary people seem to have blossomed overnight in these two years and filled your vision.

Extreme Kr 001, priced at 299,000 to 386,000

Zhiji L7, priced at 368,800 to 408,800

Polar Fox Alpha S new HI version, pre-priced 38.89 ~ 429,900

NIO ET7 is priced at 448,000 to 526,000

HiPhi X, priced at 570,000 to 800,000 yuan

Top performance, high-grade materials, cutting-edge technology, and uninhibited design are vividly displayed in these products.

But unlike traditional luxury brands, technology is the backbone that underpins their price point. The difference between the new car-making forces is more like the study of different technical directions.

Zhi ji wants to drive, and ji fox wants smart driving.

400TOPS hashrate chip, 3 lidar, 6 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar, 9 ADS cameras, 4 surround view cameras. If you ask me to explain what each radar does, I'm sure I can't say for sure, but I can give you a simple account.

The cost of a monocular camera in the industry is between 150-600 yuan, and the more complex three-eye camera is generally within 1000 yuan. And the three Huawei lidars you see in the front of the car are at least thousands of yuan in construction. From the perspective of lidar attributes, it belongs to solid-state lidar (to put it bluntly, it cannot move), so one is placed on the left, center, and right to ensure full coverage of the detection range to the greatest extent.

So if you look at the various radars, they are actually stacks of banknotes that you spend.

However, if you listen to sales in the store and say that these estimates are not understood, he can only tell you that with this set of gadgets, the vehicle can achieve deeper full-scene assisted driving. It can automatically go up and down the ramp, automatic overtaking, automatic parallel lane, automatic avoidance of slow cars, etc.

In other words, on this car, the driver assistance function will become more practical and multi-scenario, whether it is urban or high-speed, so that you can operate safely in the wind and rain.

In terms of interior, Hongmeng OS smart cockpit. In short, the car machine uses the Hongmeng OS system, and the human language is that the car-machine interaction is more like your Huawei mobile phone. Navigation, calls, gesture recognition, and more can all meet your basic interaction needs. The 21.7-inch 4K ultra-clear central control screen and the 12.3-inch LCD instrument are like the standard products of the new generation, most of which are not strange, but it is more like our appetite has been cultivated by the new forces.

In terms of power, the dual motor system has a maximum power of up to 473kW, a maximum torque of 655 Nm, an acceleration of only 3.5 seconds per 100 km/h, and a maximum cruising range of 708 km. Compared with the Zhiji L7, it has slightly less torque and slightly more battery life. In terms of body size, the length and wheelbase are not as good as the Zhiji L7.

Overall, Huawei's taste is very strong. To be honest, just rush this degree of integration, tomorrow's press conference told me to buy a fox to send HUAWEI Mate Xs 2 is also quite reasonable.

What about the Zhiji L7?

One of the selling points that the Zhiji L7 prides itself on is that it broke the world Taycan's longest electric drift record with a total of 43.646km of 258 laps in 1 hour and 6 minutes. From a personal point of view, driving control is the main differentiated competition point it wants to create, after all, the official website is also written on the New World driving control flagship. Of course, in addition, in terms of stacking and intelligence, it will certainly not fall behind others.

However, if you combine the positioning of medium and large cars, this differentiated competition point seems to be less stable. After all, at the price of 400,000 pure electric cars, the early adopters are already rare.

conclusion

The experience of the two cars is actually quite similar. From January 19, 2019 to May 4, 2022, Pole Fox and Huawei engineers fought side by side for 1203 days and nights.

Zhiji, from the establishment of the brand in December 2020 to the appearance at the Chengdu Auto Show in August last year, was repeatedly postponed due to chip problems until it was officially listed in March this year, and several 100 days have passed.

In the vast market accumulated by traditional luxury brands, these new students use the power of technology to combine vertical and horizontal, each with their own way of playing. If you happen to have a good material foundation, and you are willing to try it. Then you might as well let the little fox run a little longer.
