An online concert with Cui Jian, a "rock old cannon", let people see the "love and uncompromising" car-making attitude of Jihu Automobile. However, having an attitude does not mean smooth sailing, since its debut, although it has been sharp under the blessing of Magna, its performance in the market has always been a little worse.
In order to fill this gap, Jihu Automobile chose to work with another "strivers partner", Huawei, to create an Alpha S Huawei HI version. The car was unveiled in April last year and announced a pre-price of 388,900 yuan. It was supposed to be delivered at the end of last year, but unfortunately the plan could not catch up with the changes, and in the end it was ruthlessly pigeonted. It was not until after dragging for nearly half a year that the "intelligent driving first car" renamed Alpha S's new HI version finally appeared on the big stage of the new energy era.
On May 7, under the joint witness of BAIC BJEV Liu Yu and Huawei Yu Chengdong, the world's first mass production car equipped with HI Huawei's full-stack intelligent vehicle solution, the new HI version of Jihu Alpha S, was launched, and a total of two versions, the advanced version and the advanced version, were priced at 397,900 yuan and 429,900 yuan respectively. The price of the high-end version remains unchanged, and the advanced version replaces the basic version of the pre-sale period, and the price has also increased by 0.9 million yuan while the product power has increased. I don't know how consumers feel about the price adjustment of the new HI version of Alpha S.
In terms of styling design, the new HI version of Alpha S and the ordinary version are basically the same, but there are slight differences in detail.
For example, the front of the car is equipped with three rectangular lidar on both sides and directly in front. However, in order to form a big difference with the ordinary version, the new HI version of Alpha S adds two exclusive optional colors of Vic black and sea rock ash on the basis of the original car color, priced at 16,000 yuan (order 8,000 yuan before December 31). The price of this car paint is not cheap, but it is estimated that consumers who buy this car have most of the money that should not be bad for this exclusive car paint.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new HI version are 4980/1960/1599mm, the length and width are slightly increased compared with the ordinary version, and the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2915mm. In addition, the rear part also has a hi exclusive red logo, which strengthens the recognition of the HI version of the model.
Although the M5 was the first to win the title of the first Hongmeng OS intelligent cockpit system, the new HI version of Alpha S is still the world's first high-end pure electricity production car equipped with Hongmeng OS intelligent cockpit system. In order to compete for this honor, it can also be regarded as painstaking. However, U1S1, the empowerment of Hongmeng OS, really allows Alpha S's new HI version to find the right way to open "mobile life". The 20.3-inch 4K touch widescreen car machine, in addition to realizing multi-terminal device collaboration, also has the ability of continuous automatic learning and rapid iteration. By constantly understanding and adapting to the habits and hobbies of users, we will build a cabin travel space for exclusive car owners. That is, "the more you open, the smarter you are, and the more you open, the more you understand.".
In terms of power, the new HI version of Alpha S is equipped with a dual-motor power system, with a comprehensive output of 473 kW, a peak torque of 655N·m, and zero hundred acceleration of 3.5s. In terms of endurance, the NEDC endurance of these two cars is 500km, thanks to the empowerment of the 800V high-voltage mass production platform, the charging power of this car can reach up to 187kW, and the 10-minute energy can be replenished by nearly 200km cruising range.
For Alpha S's new HI version of the killer - automatic driving system, Yu Chengdong gave a very high evaluation: "The hardware architecture of the automatic driving system we made should be the strongest in the world today, and there is no one." It's just that the software still needs to be polished and iteratively improved. ”
In order to support this "world's strongest" title, the new HI version of Alpha S is equipped with 34 perception hardware, in addition to three lidars, there are 6 millimeter wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 9 ADS cameras and 4 surround view cameras, which can achieve a 360-degree detection angle. In conjunction with huawei's MDC810 intelligent driving computing platform, its computing power can reach 400 TOPS, which can easily cope with the test of complex road conditions.
Among the smart models loaded with three lidars, the new HI version of the Alpha S is the forerunner, but not the only one, and new cars with the same lidar as the WM M7, Avita 11 and Nezha S are already on the way. Huawei's proud Hongmeng OS smart cockpit can also be seen on many models. Alpha S's new HI version can temporarily lead in automatic driving and intelligence by virtue of its first-mover advantage, but if you want to really make your own voice in the high-end electric market, you still need the blessing of your own core technology.
