Epoch ET takes the car as an extension of the home, creating a mobile home for everyone who loves their home. Dr. Gao Xinhua, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and CTO of Chery Automobile Engineering Technology R&D Institute, said at the pre-sale meeting: "Epoch ET is the representative of Chery Group's 'upward, new and future-oriented', and is the latest achievement of technological innovation, system innovation and user concept innovation. ”
Super endurance, a number of strengths far ahead
The mileage and energy efficiency of new energy have always been the pain points that users are most concerned about. As a blockbuster model of Xingtu's high-end new energy, the Epoch ET is the culmination of Chery Group's 27 years of car manufacturing technology, with a maximum range of 760km for the pure electric version and a comprehensive range of more than 1,500km for the extended range version.
The extended-range version adopts Chery's self-developed industry-mass-produced engine with the highest thermal efficiency of 44.5% and a rated power of 115kW, achieving 3.65kWh of 1L oil power generation and 5.2L/100km of WLTC feed-in fuel consumption, defining the "golden range extension" with ultra-low energy consumption.
The pure electric version is equipped with CATL's super-rechargeable battery, with a peak charging power of 420kW, which can achieve a range of 475km in 11.5 minutes. Even in the low temperature environment of minus 20°C, it only takes 24 minutes for the SOC to go from 20% to 80%, and when the SOC is only 20%, the peak output power still reaches 280kW, and the high-efficiency overcharging alleviates the anxiety of energy replenishment in the northern winter.
Super safe, all-dimensional security protection
Adhering to the safety gene, on the basis of passive safety with more than 20 excellent active safety technologies and global five-star safety standards, and with a total of 6 full-dimensional safety protections that exceed expectations, including battery safety, information safety, functional safety and electromagnetic safety, we have built a super safety fortress.
Battery safety is the most concerned issue for new energy users. From battery safety development, design to testing, Epoch ET has always adhered to high standards and strict requirements, and has carried out daily battery safety tests such as wading, bottom support, combustion, and collision that far exceed the national standard, becoming the first SUV model in the industry to pass the "NESTA six-dimensional electric safety" certification, raising the safety of new energy batteries to a new height.
As the first line of defense to ensure safety, the new car uses high-strength steel and aluminum materials, which account for 88%, with integrated die-casting rear longitudinal members and more than 11 tons of roof compression, to achieve a "zero deformation" body structure in collision.
Super comfortable, indulge in a super comfortable second living space
Safety is the bottom line, comfort is the gene. As a medium and large SUV, the Epoch ET adheres to the design concept of "large space/small public pool", with an effective cabin space of 3.45m³, and is equipped with 36 storage spaces and a canopy area of 1.57 square meters, which can isolate 98.5% infrared rays and 99.9% ultraviolet rays.
Let comfort be more than space, the Epoch ET comfort seat is made of Nuprima micro-velvet matte leather, with ultra-wide luxury audio headrests, 16-way electric floating zero-gravity passenger seat and industry-leading four-way power-adjustable rear seats, which can sit or lie down and take care of every family member in the car.
At the same time, the Epoch ET adopts intelligent air management and intelligent thermal management system to actively monitor the PM2.5 concentration in the car and purify the air in the car.
Super driving with the perfect balance of handling and comfort
As the core competitiveness of Epoch ET, the gimbal intelligent chassis has undergone thousands of matching and tuning, and has four core technologies: cloud-dynamic architecture, intelligent control chassis, efficient braking, and intelligent power, which can easily cope with various extreme road conditions and challenges.
The Epoch ET adopts an all-aluminum chassis design, equipped with a front high-end double wishbone + rear five-link suspension that can only be found in million-level luxury cars, redefining the luxury chassis. Its front high-end double wishbone is designed with a virtual kingpin and HDS hydraulic vibration isolation system to effectively reduce vibration and bring a more stable handling experience. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with IAS intelligent air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system, which accurately predicts the road conditions ahead through lidar and realizes millisecond-level active continuous adjustment of suspension damping, bringing the ultimate smooth and comfortable driving quality.
In terms of power, with the blessing of 800V ultra-efficient electric drive and intelligent torque control system, the Epoch ET has a total power of 413kW, a maximum torque of 8000N·m, and an acceleration of 100 kilometers in 3 seconds. In addition, the new car is also equipped with million-piston six-piston fixed calipers, free steering system and CIC fusion control technology, and the largest wading depth of 700+50mm in the same class, which truly achieves plug-in waterproofing and battery waterproofing, and is not afraid of traffic in all scenes.
Super intelligent, among the first echelon of the industry
As the "spire" of Chery Group's pyramid, Epoch ET is based on Chery's latest generation EEA 5.0 electronic and electrical architecture, which is the industry's first software architecture to realize global SOA as a service. It is also equipped with the latest technology in the industry, such as UWB physical key, Lion AI large model voice and DHS smart health monitoring, etc., to create a personalized luxury intelligent new experience.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the Epoch ET intelligent driving hardware is full, equipped with 30 high-performance sensors and NVIDIA Drive Orin chips with up to 508TOPS computing power, which can achieve safer NEP full-scene intelligent driving assistance, covering high-speed pilot assistance, city pilot assistance, intelligent parking, etc. In addition, Epoch ET also integrates intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit AI large model, so that users can talk to virtual voice assistants in intelligent driving to complete intelligent driving control and create super intelligence.
As the pinnacle of Xingtu's impact on the high-end in 2024, the dazzling debut of its pure electric version and extended range version will help Xingtu rush to China's first independent luxury brand, and reshape the new pattern of China's new energy high-end market with high-end luxury. The era of the Epoch has arrived, and in the future, Epoch ET will continue to empower with innovative technology, and work with users to enjoy a new experience of super intelligent travel beyond imagination.
