From 397,900, the Polar Fox Alpha S HI version was listed, and Huawei's blessing or become a new benchmark for intelligence

On the evening of May 7, 2022, the new HI version of Polar Fox Alpha S was officially launched, with two configurations, the advanced version and the advanced version, and the guidance price was 397,900 yuan and 429,900 yuan respectively.

In fact, this is not just a press conference, while the new car is officially listed, it has also completely broken all kinds of doubts and suspicions about the Jihu brand inside and outside the industry recently. After all, the Alpha S HI version of the model was pre-sold as early as april 2021 at the Polar Fox brand night, but the new car could not be delivered, so various voices came out: can the new car still be listed? Can the cooperation between Pole Fox and Huawei continue...

The most powerful response to doubts is naturally the launch of new cars. At the press conference, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., CEO of Terminal BG, and CEO of Smart Vehicle Solution BU, personally represented the new station platform, which also demonstrated the strong partnership between the two brands.

When the pre-sale price was released a year ago, we were also impressed by the courage of the polar fox to sell at a high price, and in a year, the new energy market was also changing, and the pure electric new cars of about 400,000 yuan came one after another, which also made the price of the Alpha S HI version less difficult to accept. But after all, it is not a small amount, and people can't help but wonder, I spent 400,000 yuan to buy the Alpha S HI version, what can I get?

In fact, to solve this problem, the most important thing is to explain the "HI" clearly. "HI" is not the world's Say Hi, it is an abbreviation of "HUAWEI Inside", which means that this car is equipped with HI Huawei's full-stack intelligent car solution, and the Alpha S HI version is also the world's first mass production car that can be named after HI. Not all cars with Huawei-provided components can be marked with the HI LOGO, and only cars that use Huawei's intelligent driving solution can be used.

Simple two letters, behind which is the in-depth cooperation between the two brands, according to the data, the pole fox alpha S new HI version in the research and development process, the two sides of the engineers cooperation for more than 1200 days, generalization test mileage of more than one million kilometers, and after more than two years, a total of three rounds, nearly three hundred programs of chassis tuning, as well as hundreds of thousands of kilometers of full testing and verification of hundreds of thousands of kilometers of road surface in various weather, in the layout of lidar, 5G antenna integration and front windshield optimization and many other aspects to achieve technological first and leading.

Intelligence is the biggest highlight of the new car. As the world's first high-end pure power production sedan equipped with Huawei's smart cockpit -Hongmeng car machine OS, the Alpha S HI version should bring users a better intelligent experience. Hongmeng operating system allows the car machine to be seamlessly connected with mobile phones, computers, PADs, smart home appliances and other products, truly opening up the imagination space of "mobile life" and allowing cars to enter the "intelligent world of the Internet of Everything". At the same time, it can continue to grow and enhance the functional experience through OTA upgrades.

At the same time, with the combination of high reliability and high performance IMC architecture and super hardware and software, the new car also realizes high-level intelligent driving on urban roads. In terms of hardware, Alpha S HI Edition has 34 high-perception hardware, including 3-way lidar, 6-channel millimeter-wave radar, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 13-channel high-definition cameras, to achieve 360° all-round coverage, which also makes it the world's first mass production car equipped with 3 laser radars, and the world's first mass production car to support intelligent driving on urban roads.

More perception hardware, bringing more information, so there is a great test for computing power, this aspect is not to worry, MDC 810 supercomputing platform has 400 TOPS computing power, fully meet the requirements of the vehicle for computing power.

Friends who watched the American drama Thunderbolt Ranger when they were young should have fantasized about owning a car like KITt, and the Alpha S HI version can bring us infinitely closer to the dream of our childhood. It can control the urban road/ night scene and high-speed / urban expressway scene, especially like the community, congestion with the car / congestion, traffic light intersection, people and vehicles mixed obstacle avoidance, fast road cruise, get out of trouble to change lanes, large trucks press line driving avoidance, up and down ramp / sink in and out, automatic parking and other scenarios It can be analyzed and processed, so that users can have a continuous automatic driving experience from the community garage to the company garage, basically can achieve point-to-point daily traffic.

That is to say, after we get on the bus, basically do not care, it can drive to the designated place by itself, and the scene of the science fiction movie will be illuminated into reality. Previously, Polar Fox has held a small media test drive on the intelligent driving system, and its excellent performance is indeed amazing, and in many complex road conditions, the reaction is almost the same as that of our own driving.

At the same time of ultra-high intelligence, the new car also has many highlights in terms of electric drive. First of all, relying on the first 800V high-voltage mass production vehicle platform in China, its battery system supports 800V, 250A super fast charging, charging power up to 187kW, charging 10 minutes can supplement the cruising range of nearly 200km, and the power from 30% to 80% only takes 15 minutes. Of course, this also requires the hardware of the charging pile to support 800V, and most of the current charging piles should not reach this level.

In terms of power, the Alpha S HI version is more violent than the ordinary version of the Alpha S, using a combination of front-drive asynchronous motor + rear-drive synchronous motor, the maximum power is 473 kilowatts, the maximum torque is 655 Nm, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers takes only 3.5 seconds, before I briefly experienced the HI version of the non-mass production engineering prototype car, the feeling of "people driving in front, soul chasing in the back", is still vividly remembered.

summary

The so-called good things and many grinding, after a year of pre-sale, the Alpha S HI version of the model is finally officially arrived, and the cooperation with Huawei can also be regarded as a positive result. However, today's market environment is also completely different from a year ago, when the 400,000-level high-end pure electric car is still brewing, and now the same level of the same price of the competitors can have a lot, and are not good stubble, polar fox wants to break through in the fierce competition, afraid it is not easy, at present, it seems that the road is obstructed and strong, the listing is just a beginning, there are many things that polar fox has to do, come on.
