[Text/Caiquan Club & Brother Dao said car Gao Xinyao] A while ago, a friend happened to change cars and came to the editor to be a staff officer. It was the Beijing International Auto Show, so I hit it off and went directly to the scene to see it. My friend himself has an oil brand, but considering the huge gap in oil and electricity prices and the extreme involution of China's new energy vehicle companies in price and cost performance in recent years, I still decided to try new energy vehicles.
The world often praises women: You can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen. The same is true for the choice of car, we not only want a high-end and high-grade appearance, but also want to have a low-key luxury interior and car machine. When intelligence comes to the automotive field, choosing a car is like choosing a mobile phone: is its appearance domineering and exposed? Is the car machine smooth? Will it be flashy, and will the interior be comfortable? How about its battery life? Will it stand up to a crash and what is the safety factor? As a durable commodity, will it be able to grow old after 10 years?
So is there such a new energy vehicle that can meet our "picky" needs? At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, we saw a cutting-edge brand - Haobo. "This car looks so handsome." Haobo HT at the booth attracted the attention of friends.
"What brand is Haobo, I don't seem to have heard of it before, a friend asked.
In recent years, after "Wei Xiaoli" in the domestic track, many labels have tried it. "Our Haobo Hyper is a new high-end brand launched by GAC Aion. It has three series: SSR, GT and HT, corresponding to supercars, sedans and SUVs. This time on display is our latest 2024 Haobo HT. As a "professional", I have to show my knowledge.
"Aion, I remember a lot of ride-hailing is a ride-hailing service." My friend exclaimed, "That's a very reliable quality." It's also a big brand, and it won't run away like a small factory. ”
But when I heard that this was a pure electric car, my friend was still a little hesitant. During the holidays, friends will drive their families back to their hometown in Shandong Province - more than 700 kilometers from Beijing to Qingdao, and in order to hurry, they usually only take a short break once or twice in between. Usually there is a habit of traveling around the surrounding cities by car during small long holidays. Long journeys for the whole family. Not only the battery life, but also the rear seat experience of the family, friends are also very picky.
"Our Haobo is the latest upgrade of the 'Double 800'. With the latest generation of 800V UHV charging platform and a standard mileage of 825 kilometers, we don't have to worry too much about running at high speed. "Xiaobian, I became a salesman at this time (PS: If a friend buys it, Aion has to give me a commission!) Hmph)
Sitting in the back row, my friend sighed in surprise: "Huh! It's really the same as the couch! "Unlike other models that have been criticized for their rear comfort, the rear of the Haobo HT will not be uncomfortable to sit in." In the past, it was said that the co-driver was a princess car, but now the back row can also be stretched. It is worthy of being a model certified by the United Arab Emirates" My friend was also pleasantly surprised to find a small table and pedals, thinking that if my parents had urgent work on the highway, they would not have to put the computer on their laps and shrink to do it. If you are bored on the road, you don't need to pick up melon seeds.
When I got home, my friend told his family what he thought, but they were confronted with an ultimate question: how did the car compare to Tesla. It is true that if you asked about the choice of new energy vehicles three years ago, most people would probably blurt out: Tesla! Indeed, when new energy vehicles were just developed in China, Tesla became the first new energy vehicle for many trendy people with its pioneering appearance, avant-garde and simple control system, resounding name and driving experience of non-fuel vehicles. Coupled with the common in the report: the car accident rotates and rolls, and the passengers are still "safe and sound", which also makes Tesla a benchmark in the hearts of the older generation with its unique safety performance. But "the magic is one foot high, the road is one foot high", and my friends and I also conducted a series of data searches in order to persuade them.
The same price point is higher configuration
Haobo HT 2024 670 UHV LiDAR Edition VS Tesla Model Y 2024 Rear-wheel Drive Edition adheres to the principle of "fairness and justice", and my friend chose two models at the same price. Both models start at 249,900, but Haobo HT has a clear upper hand in terms of cost performance.
From the perspective of comprehensive performance of endurance and power, Haobo HT has obvious advantages in CLTC pure electric range performance. And thanks to the blessing of the 800V voltage platform, it is also significantly ahead of Tesla in terms of fast charging time. The overall power data performance is also better. In terms of space, Haobo HT is also larger than Tesla Model Y as a whole. In order to highlight the space advantage, Haobo HT2023 debut specially invited Yi Jianlian as the brand spokesperson. Yi Jianlian, who is 2.12 meters tall, easily sat in the back row of the vehicle, and the space experience was instantly far ahead.
In addition, intelligent driving functions such as high-precision maps, automatic parking, memory parking, and automatic driving assistance are also standard on the Haobo HT2024 670 UHV LiDAR version. However, in Tesla's basic driver assistance features, only Active Cloud Ride Control (TACC) and assisted steering are supported. In view of the fact that the relatively cost-effective enhanced version has been taken off the shelves, users can only choose to spend another 64,000 yuan if they want to experience a blast, but the full autonomous driving is even far away. At the same time, although Tesla's NOA is popular in the United States, because Tesla does not have a R&D team in China to localize the work, even if the NOA is good in the United States, it may not be easy to use in China.
In addition, the experience of the cockpit in the Tesla car is not so good. Even most Tesla users complained: the navigation in the car is not as easy to use as on the mobile phone. There is also a relatively fresh in-car voice assistant, and Tesla is limited to buttons and driver wake-up; The driving experience is also not improved, such as seat massage, heating, ventilation and other functions.
Same configuration for better experience
Haobo HT 2024 670 UHV LiDAR Edition VS Tesla Model Y 2024 Long-range All-Wheel Drive Edition According to the family's ideas, friends also compared the "Tesla Long-range All-Wheel Drive Version" that is comparable to Haobo driving data and even performs better in individual parameters.
In this round of competition, Tesla's model has mainly improved its battery life and power, using the front and rear dual motors and replacing the battery cell supplier, but the price has come to 290,900, and the charging efficiency has not been improved, and the additional power consumption brought by the dual motors will also produce "electricity anxiety". On the contrary, Haobo HT has not been opened up too far behind. It still maintains certain advantages in battery energy, charging speed and power consumption per 100 kilometers.
But even after the price increase, in terms of intelligent driving experience and interior, Tesla is still "indifferent" after the model upgrade, and Haobo is not only 40,000 yuan lower, but also can enjoy the light luxury materials and interior technology, as well as the latest listing of the no-picture NDA. Although intelligent assisted driving is not the decisive factor in the choice, who would not like products that increase the quantity without increasing the price.
Not only that, but we also collected Haobo's "hidden easter eggs". At the beginning of this year, Haobo officially launched the whole system of lifetime free charging rights, which caused heated discussions on the whole network. When the market is still worried about the "additional terms" and "scope of application" advertised by the previous enterprises, Haobo this rights and interests broadcast covers all new and old car owners. The free charging quota of 2,200 kWh per year for each vehicle is enough for the vehicle to travel 10,000 kilometers, which basically covers the needs of most users.
In response to the problem of "scope of application", Haobo has set up a "five-permanent" alliance of five head charging operators, including State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, Special Call, Star Charging, and Cloud Fast Charging, and even signed an agreement with PetroChina in February, which truly covers 90% of the charging piles in the country. This is a great benefit for us who like to travel by car. Go to the toilet in the rest stop, borrow hot water, and get down for a stroll to solve the charging problem. For the trip, there is not much to lose.
After the report of the friends, everyone also expressed their support. At present, my friend has also contacted a dealership near his home to prepare for a test drive. I look forward to him unlocking more stars and seas with Haobo HT.
