Crushing the ideal L9 in all aspects, but it is only 10,000 yuan?

The end of 2023 is very intriguing for the automotive industry, and the most elite products will be listed at the end of this year, on December 23, NIO's flagship executive sedan ET9 was released, with a pre-sale price of 800,000 yuan, followed by Wenjie M9, Zeekrypton 007 and Xiaomi SU7, and at the beginning of January next year, Xpeng X9 and Geely Galaxy E8 will also reveal the final official price.

Yu Chengdong said that the M9 is a milestone product in the intelligent era, "we bring all the best Huawei smart car black technology to the car." At present, the lowest price of the M9 is the extended range Max version, which is priced at 469,800 yuan, and the highest price is the pure electric Ultra version, which is priced at 569,800 yuan.

Although on the PPT of the press conference, the benchmarking data of this car are all luxury brands, including Porsche, Rolls-Royce, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, etc., but everyone understands in their hearts that the most direct competitors of this car are WeilaiES8 and IdealL9, especially IdealL9, both are flagship SUVs, and they are all about capturing the hearts of consumers with refrigerator color TV sofas.

Turing Intelligent Chassis:

The intelligence of the Turing chassis mainly revolves around three levels: intelligent perception, intelligent adjustment, and intelligent collaborative control. For example, Huawei's ADS 2.0 intelligent assisted driving system has been installed in other models under the Wenjie brand, and its intelligent performance is acceptable. It is understood that ADS 2.0 in the M9 may support the "car to find people" function, but whether the function is practical in multi-storey parking lots still needs to be further tested.

In addition, the new car is also equipped with Huawei's DATS dynamic torque adaptive system, which intelligently adjusts the torque according to road conditions. In addition, the M9 is equipped with air suspension and CDC variable damping dampers as standard, and the body height has a 5-speed adjustable function. From the perspective of intelligent configuration, the pressure of the ideal L9 should not be small.

Megapixel headlights and smart lighting system

The headlights of the M9 are composed of three, including adaptive low beams, adaptive matrix headlights, and megapixel smart projection headlights.

Among them, the megapixel smart projection headlights support outdoor projection function, which can achieve more than 100 inches of outdoor giant screen projection, and also realize lane-level precise control, support precise shading, Yu Chengdong said that this masking accuracy can even reach the level of the human eye of the driver of the opposite vehicle;

The vehicle's intelligent interactive matrix headlights can be used for charging timing display, and when the vehicle changes lanes, it can also convey thanks, share blessings during the festival, and make the driving atmosphere more friendly. It also supports a variety of personality skins, with rich situational light words, to make the vehicle "live". The interaction ability is a bit stronger than that of the ideal L9.

Refrigerator, color TV, large sofa

Refrigerator and sofa are relative toL9It is a one-to-one benchmark,But the configuration similar to the queen's co-pilot is now the standard equipment of high-end models,On color TV,WenjieM9It is indeed an advantage over the ideal。

If it was placed a few years ago, the triple screen may have looked relatively fresh, but today, this kind of triple screen looks more ordinary. But the HarmonyOS system used in these three screens is the advantage, and the silky smooth operation has been intelligent, and the system has been vividly reflected in other models.

The second row of the M9 has a lifting projection giant screen, which is Huawei's first 32-inch automotive-grade projection system, which can enjoy a cinema-level viewing experience anytime and anywhere. The HUAWEI ARHUD can project 75-inch images up to 8.5 meters away when parked.

Intelligent Driving:

Yu Chengdong said: "By the end of December, we will achieve full coverage of urban areas, highways, and urban express NCA (intelligent driving pilot assistance, i.e., high-level intelligent driving). Owners of the M5 and M7 will be able to receive an upgrade from the urban NCA via OTA in January. ”

NCA is Huawei's abbreviation for "navigation assisted driving", and different car companies have different names, such as Xpeng is abbreviated as NGP, NIO is referred to as NOP, and Ideal is referred to as NOA.

At present, Huawei, Li and Weilai are very tight on the number of open cities: according to public information, Xpeng announced that it will expand XNGP to 50 cities by the end of the year, Li announced that Ideal AD Max will open urban NOA in 110 cities by the end of this year, and Weilai announced that its NOP+ has completed the verification of 250,000 kilometers of urban pilot routes, and opened 60,000 kilometers of route mileage in 200 cities.

Urban NOA is generally recognized as the last sector to complete the L3 autonomous driving function, and the leading car companies focusing on intelligent driving are promoting their own urban NOA layout to strengthen their technical strength in the face of L3 autonomous driving.

The M9 offers a total of four models, including an extended-range version of the CLTC pure electric range of 225km and a comprehensive range of up to 1362km, while supporting an optional 52kWh battery pack, which can increase the pure electric range and comprehensive range to 275km and 1402km respectively, while the pure electric version has an acceleration level of 4.3s on the basis of the CLTC pure electric range of 630km.

To sum up, even if the M9 is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the ideal L9 MAX priced at 459,800 yuan (the ideal L9 Pro is 30,000 yuan cheaper after cutting the lidar and other functional configurations), but the M9 is equipped with more leading technology and the blessing of the Hongmeng system, which obviously has more advantages.

Not only that, as a model that Huawei is deeply involved in, the technical advantages of Wenjie M9 in terms of intelligence and networking are brand highlights, which may promote other brands to carry out more technological innovation in the fields of intelligence and networking, which may put greater pressure on traditional luxury brands.
