Intelligence is one of the new four modernizations of automobiles, many people believe that the intelligent cockpit can only be equipped with new energy models, but during this time, many automobile manufacturers have put forward the concept of "oil and electricity with intelligence", that is, the fuel version of the model can also provide an intelligent experience comparable to that of new energy vehicles. In this regard, the JAC Refine RF8 is a good example.
JAC Refine RF8 is a medium and large MPV, and two versions of fuel and plug-in hybrid are launched at the same time, interestingly, both versions have Hongmeng version models on sale, with prices of 209,900 yuan and 259,900 yuan respectively, so how about the performance of these two cars?
What is the basic performance of the two cars?
A model at the same time to launch both fuel and new energy versions, this practice is more common in joint ventures, because they do not dare to give up all fuel vehicles, but JAC Refine RF8 also adopts this scheme, both fuel version of the model and plug-in hybrid version of the model, and have their own Hongmeng version.
The two cars are relatively close in terms of basic performance, both have a body length of 5215mm, and a wheelbase of 3100mm, and also have an atmospheric appearance, which can meet the needs of both business users and family users.
At the same time, both cars offer L2 level driving assistance functions, such as active braking, lane departure warning, fatigue driving reminder, transparent chassis, reverse side warning, lane merging assist, lane keeping assist, lane centering keeping, road traffic sign recognition, etc.
In addition, both cars provide dual-side power side sliding doors, electric trunk, intelligent voice recognition, facial recognition, 4G network, OTA upgrade, leather seats, HUD head-up display, 50W mobile phone fast charging, front seat heating and ventilation, second-row seat leg rest adjustment, rear small table, temperature zone control and other common configurations.
It should be said that the basic performance of the two cars is still good, but different power systems will bring different car experience. The gasoline version is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a maximum output of 186 kW, while the plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine with a maximum output of 120 kW and a front-mounted single motor with a power of 160 kW, giving it a range of 150 km in CLTC mode and 1,150 km on full fuel.
At the same time, the plug-in hybrid version of the model fast charging time is only 0.41 hours, slow charging time takes 2 hours, but also can provide 3.3kW external discharge, to meet the needs of users in camping, picnic, emergency rescue, etc., the practical value is higher than the fuel vehicle model, of course, its price is also 50,000 yuan more expensive.
What can HarmonyOS bring?
JAC Refine RF8From pre-sale to listing, the popularity has not been low, first of all, because its basic performance is relatively strong, but more importantly, it also has the blessing of Huawei Hongmeng, which can bring a better car experience. The JAC Refine RF8 Harmony Edition model is equipped with Huawei Harmony 4.0 intelligent cockpit, which has become its core selling point.
Hongmeng4.0Intelligent cockpit to JAC Refine RF8The improvement is first reflected in the hardware, it brings Huawei15.6inch2K smart central control screen, screen-to-body ratio is as high as 90%, and there is also an advanced LTPS display mode, which surpasses the ordinary central control screen in terms of clarity and fluency.
At the software level, Hongmeng 4.0 intelligent cockpit also provides the same operation logic as Huawei mobile phones and tablets, supporting visible control, and can also be seamlessly connected with Huawei mobile phones and tablets, and even reverse control of the mobile phone on the car machine, truly realizing multi-screen collaborative operation, which is also ahead of most competitors.
In addition, the Hongmeng 4.0 intelligent cockpit also brings an intelligent voice assistant created by Huawei and Refine in cooperation, which can achieve one-time continuous dialogue, support user customization, and do not need a wake-up word, which has a good performance in human-vehicle interaction.
Not only that, the HarmonyOS 4.0 intelligent cockpit also brings 100 Internet applications in Huawei's application ecosystem, which can multi-task in parallel, and the switching is also very smooth. It should be said that in terms of operating system, Huawei is at the leading level in China, and it can make the car machine as convenient as a mobile phone.
at the same time,JAC Refine RF8Hongmeng Edition is also equipped with Leizi Huawei's AR-HUD,The frame size reaches 23.5 inches,Support 10 levels of adaptive adjustment of picture brightness,It can also display various information related to the vehicle on the windshield,Make it easier for users to drive。
What is the future of the new car?
JAC Refine RF8 Harmony Edition integrates Refine in the MPV field for many years of design experience, and at the same time has the support of Huawei Harmony system, which has first-class performance in intelligence, so the overall competitiveness is still good.
It is worth mentioning that,JAC Ruifeng RF8The price of Hongmeng version also belongs to a more people-friendly type,More than 200,000 new energy medium and large MPV,It is still relatively competitive in the domestic new energy market,It can bring a better car experience,At the same time, it can also reduce the cost of the user's car,It has a strong attraction to family users。
However, this car also has some shortcomings, that is, its popularity is low, although it has the blessing of Huawei, but if it wants to enter the mainstream market and be accepted by family users, this car still needs to go through a long period of brand accumulation and word-of-mouth precipitation. In terms of product performance, it is ready, but when it comes to branding, it needs to work a little harder.
Add the Hongmeng system to the existing models,This has gradually become a popular trend in the car circle,JAC Ruifeng RF8The overall strength of the Hongmeng version is good,Judging from the performance of models such as WenjieM7,Hongmeng intelligent cockpit does have the ability to turn stone into gold,So can the sales of this car really take off?
