IQ is Cadillac's second pure electric SUV based on the Autonen platform, and will be officially launched and delivered at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. The new car has a high degree of similarity with the IQ Ruige in terms of design, with a strong sense of science fiction in appearance, and the interior is equipped with a 33-inch surround-screen 9K super retina screen, which is available in two power versions: single motor and dual motor. Next, we will conduct a static analysis of IQ Aoge, and consumers who like this car can pay attention to it.
The overall shape of IQ is on par with IQ Ruige, with the iconic shield-shaped luminous grille very chic, the Cadillac brand logo that can be lit up in the middle, and the figure-7 matrix LED headlights create an outstanding technological atmosphere.
It is worth mentioning that the grille light source of the two-wheel drive version and the four-wheel drive version are distinguished, the two-wheel drive version uses a linear LED light source, and the four-wheel drive version uses a triangular LED light source.
The lower grille has a banner design and is integrated with a chunky gloss black trim that is cut-out to dissipate heat. The air vents on both sides are embellished with irregularly patterned black trim pieces to enhance the sporty look of the front face.
The side shape is slender and smooth, with a slightly raised waistline with a certain curvature, and the window area is concave, which is blackened to create the visual effect of a floating roof. The D-pillar panel has a number of built-in banner LED light sources, which is not only visually more beautiful, but also improves the safety of night driving.
The rear styling also references the design style of the IQ Ruige, but the tilt angle of the rear window is not as exaggerated as that of the IQ Ruige, and the rear roof also adds a spoiler design and a shark fin. The high-mounted brake lights are placed on both sides of the rear window, which can play a good role in warning the rear car. The taillights are vertically arranged, with a large number of blackened elements around the perimeter, and a large black rear surround enhances the sporty atmosphere of the vehicle.
The interior layout of the IQ is basically the same as the design of the IQ Ruige, but the details have been adjusted, such as adding blue decorative strips to the air conditioning outlets, and covering the door storage compartments and the storage compartments under the suspension platform with blue materials, which can better represent its new energy identity.
In addition, the shape of the air conditioning vents in front of the passenger has been simplified, the front center armrest box has been reduced in size, the suspension table is covered in a similar carbon fibre material, and a refined knob-type gear shift mechanism is used.
It is equipped with a three-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel, and the button area is operated by touch, and shortcut keys such as full-speed adaptive cruise control, steering wheel heating, volume, telephone, and voice recognition are integrated. A camera is installed on the steering wheel to monitor the driver's driving status and realize functions such as facial recognition.
Equipped with a 33-inch surround-screen 9K super retina screen, the resolution is as high as 271PPI, and it has an ultra-high contrast ratio of 100000:1, the picture is delicate and realistic, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the smoothness and response speed of the car machine are excellent. Functions such as continuous voice recognition, car navigation, car-home interconnection, OTA remote upgrade are readily available, and you can also download iQiyi, Kuwo Music, Himalaya, QQ Music, Weibo and other entertainment apps through the app store, with a high degree of intelligence.
The actual vehicle is equipped with a head-up display, which can project navigation, driving assistance and other information on the front windshield, so that the driver can check the new car information without looking down, improving driving safety.
IQ is equipped with leather seats, which are soft and skin-friendly, and the backrest and cushion area are perforated, so it is not easy to get stuffy in summer. Functions such as electric seat adjustment, heating and ventilation are not absent.
IQ Ruige is equipped with a panoramic canopy and provides electric sunshades, which play a good role in sun protection and heat insulation. Since it cannot be opened, the ventilation effect in the car will be somewhat reduced.
IQ Ruige is positioned as a mid-size SUV, and the rear seat space is still relatively abundant. The rear seats can be folded down proportionally, which can be folded down to expand more storage space and improve the convenience of using the car.
In terms of power, the IQ is equipped with two electric motors with a maximum output of 150kW or 180kW, with a range of 536km with a 68.4kWh battery pack at the low configuration, a 79.7kWh battery pack with a range of 615km at the high configuration, and a dual front and rear electric motor with a maximum power of 143kW and 68kW with a range of 600km for the all-wheel drive version.
Based on the Autoneng platform, IQ continues Cadillac's luxury sci-fi design style, and it is believed that it will also be on par with IQ Ruige in terms of intelligence, laying a good foundation for its impact on the luxury pure electric vehicle market. As for whether IQ Ruige can be recognized by the market, the key depends on the pricing.
