This is also basically similar to the previous statement, and the new company's equity will be more diversified. Now, car companies that are worried about losing their "soul" by adopting Huawei's technical solutions may not have to worry. They can choose to become shareholders, share the cost of Huawei's technology development, and use the joint venture technology with peace of mind.
At the same time, Yu Chengdong also previewed a number of key information: 1. The orders of the new M7 exceeded 100,000 units in two and a half months after its launch, and 23,000 units will be delivered next month, and 30,000 units will be sold next year; 2. The blind order of the M9 has reached 33,000 units; 3. There are two "Jie" series with Jiangqi Group and BAIC Group on the way.
▲The price of the S7 in the world

Zhijie S7 has less than 300,000 intelligent driving
At the end of the year, there is no map for NCA to go online
In addition to responding to the joint venture between Huawei and Changan, the focus of the press conference was the official release of the Zhijie S7.
In addition to daily comparisons with "advanced peers" such as Model3, Model3 and Porsche, Zhijie S7 also brings a new queen seat, more comfortable seat material, air purification system for the whole car, HUAWEI SOUND super-sensory space audio technology, high-fidelity microphone-free karaoke, MagLink interface that can be linked to the car machine, and other new configurations.
In addition, Yu Chengdong brought three blockbuster news on the Zhijie S7 at the press conference: at the end of the year, the city NCA without a map can be opened nationwide, the parking function is on the car for the first time, and the first Tu Zero intelligent chassis.
At present, most of the high-speed and urban pilot assisted driving functions of smart cars need high-precision map support to assist environmental perception. Huawei, on the other hand, has brought the first urban navigation assistance solution in China, which is known as "no map".
▲Zhijie S7 intelligent driving
Yu Chengdong announced at the press conference that Huawei's ADS2.0 equipped on Zhijie S7 will realize the urban NCA function without a map solution in December, and it can be opened nationwide.
Yu Chengdong mentioned that ADS2.0 can now be iterated once every 5 days, and the future OTA upgrade will make the vehicle's intelligent driving function more powerful.
While most car companies are pushing high-speed pilot assisted driving with maps, Huawei has entered the market with the urban NCA solution without maps, which has been implemented quickly and the technical route is more aggressive, which shows Huawei's active layout of intelligent driving solutions.
Perhaps, Huawei's intelligent driving solution will best compete with Tesla's FSD, which is rumored to enter China.
There is also a smarter Xiaoyi voice assistant. The voice assistant connected to the Pangu model can make suggestions for users, which is more intelligent and convenient.
Before the official release of Zhijie S7, a video of Zhijie S7 unmanned valet parking sparked heated discussions.
▲ Internet transmission of the wisdom of the S7 valet parking video
The Zhijie S7 shown in the video can slow down or stop to give way to pedestrians, and can also drive in front of the owner and wait for the owner to get into the car.
These features were "hammered" at this press conference. At the press conference, the unmanned Zhijie S7 opened the stage and stopped steadily beside Yu Chengdong.
▲Zhijie S7 demonstrated the parking function on the spot
Yu Chengdong mentioned that the parking function of Zhijie S7 can be triggered by one button, autonomous car, courtesy to pedestrians, intelligent obstacle avoidance and other functions, and the parking process can be visualized throughout the process. Outside of the parking lot, users can also summon vehicles with one click of the phone on their phones.
In extreme working conditions, the Zhijie S7 can fold the rearview mirror by itself and park in a parking space with only 20cm of space on both sides. At the same time, Zhijie S7 can also realize parking assistance for mechanical parking spaces, which is the first in the industry.
At present, the beta opening plan for parking will be launched in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Suzhou and Dongguan in the first quarter of next year.
▲The first batch of Zhijie S7 parking substitute drivers landed in cities
In the parking function of Zhijie S7, the "last 100 meters" of autonomous driving may be opened, and the future of autonomous driving is one step closer.
The Zhijie S7 also debuted Huawei's Tuling intelligent chassis. The technology was tuned by Huawei's German research institute, and combined with Huawei's AI and software capabilities, the Tuling intelligent chassis implements four core functions: HUAWEI ADS road surface awareness, iVSE intelligent vehicle status awareness, HUAWEI DATS dynamic adaptive torque control, and HUAWEI xMotion intelligent body collaborative control.
▲The core technology of the S7 chassis of Zhijie
In addition to three important information, more features and data of the Zhijie S7 were also revealed at the press conference.
In terms of vehicle range, the Zhijie S7 has achieved 100 kWh of electricity and has a CLTC comprehensive range of 855km, and the power consumption is only 12.4kWh per 100km. In terms of energy replenishment, the vehicle can achieve a range of 400 kilometers in 15 minutes under the condition of super fast charging.
▲Energy consumption of Zhijie S7
In terms of safety, the Zhijie S7 is equipped with a safety body system and a safety battery system. Yu Chengdong mentioned that Huawei's battery pack has been rated as the "safest" battery pack by CATL.
▲Zhijie S7 battery safety
Zhijie S7 is also equipped with "omnidirectional anti-collision system" CAS2.0, which can not only achieve the AEB function of up to 120 kilometers, but also realize lateral active safety, and the vehicle can actively correct deviations and avoid danger. Rear Active Safety recognizes pedestrians, two-wheeled vehicles and cross-cutting vehicles. It can be said that active safety in all directions has been realized.

When displaying these data, Model 3, Model S and other foreign models are compared on a daily basis, and Zhijie S7 is "far ahead" when displaying.

"7 series" sedan comparison of Extreme Krypton Xiaomi is a bit stressful
In addition to comparing foreign models, we also compared the Zhijie S7 with the "7 Series" medium and large sedans on sale in China.
▲Comparison of "7 Series" sedans
It can be seen that the size of the Zhijie S7 is second only to the Xiaomi car that has not yet been officially released among the four cars, and the wheelbase and width have reached a good level.
However, Yu Chengdong previously said, "It's easy to make the car bigger, and the big interior space is the real skill." "The Zhijie S7 adopts a new OneBox styling design, with an occupancy rate of 88% and a longitudinal length of 1910mm in the front and rear of the cockpit.
In terms of performance,ZhijieS70000 acceleration has been achieved3Seconds,Although the paper data of ZEEKR007,But the official publicity data of ZEEKR007Some restrictions have been added,The specific performance of the two cars needs to be tested in practice。
In terms of intelligent driving ability,The intelligent driving of the Extreme Krypton series has been criticized by some car owners,And the official has also launched a high-speed assisted driving function in the recent version,Compared with the wisdom of the worldS7Urban NCA function and progress can be said to be a little worse。 The intelligent driving of the Volkswagen ID.7 and the ID.3 are the same system, and there is still a gap compared with some domestic players. Perhaps the only one who can "compete head-on" with Zhijie S7 Zhijia is Xiaopeng P7i.
At the cockpit system level,ZhijieS7It will be on the car Hongmeng cockpit4.0,There are more terminals that can be associated and connected,With six-tone sound source positioning、Multi-person multi-screen multi-tone concurrent control、Eye position tracking and eye status recognition in the cabin、Multi-screen multi-channel two-way flow、Multi-screen cross-device projection and other functions,The richness of the application and the openness of the ecology will be stronger。
Xiaopeng P7i has been a representative model of intelligent car machine for a long time,The voice capability of the vehicle has entered the first echelon of the industry,Basically realize what you see and say,You can even control more than 90% of the functions of the whole car,A shortcoming is the lack of multi-device interconnection capabilities。
In terms of price, the price of Zhijie S7 can be said to be very competitive, with the blessing of Huawei's "black technology", the price is 249,800 yuan, which may put pressure on the pricing of Xiaomi SU7 and Extreme Krypton 007.
