Since sailing across the Strait of Gibraltar in the 16th century and passing through the Pillars of Hercules with the warning slogan "Do not cross", our ancestors have developed civilization from cave dwellings in primitive societies to modern buildings, large flats, and bieshu in modern societies for thousands of years. Nowadays, in addition to our necessary living space (DI 1 space) and production and working space (DI 2 space), the "di three spaces" (proposed by United States socio·logist Ray Oldenburg in his book "The Great Good Place" in 1989) have gradually become the focus of people's attention.
Schematic diagram of the third space
The "third space" can be a fixed place such as a park, a café, a library, or a mobile space such as a train or a car, but its main feature is to provide people with a comfortable, relaxed and convenient environment, so that people can freely release themselves outside the necessary survival and labor production, including physical release and emotional release, to meet people's yearning for privacy and freedom.
With the increase in the number of cars in mainland China and the development of the new four modernizations of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicles have naturally become one of the main carriers of the current middle-class third space concept. As a movable space, new energy vehicles should ensure that they bring more practical area and space to users while ensuring a wide body, so that the car can truly become a third space for people to be comfortable, 0 pressure, 0 anxiety and 0 constraints.
How to create a comfortable environment with zero pressure and 0 constraints in the limited interior space of the existing battery, motor and seat is a complex scientific problem, and the "elevator effect" has to be mentioned. The elevator is a very small space, and you will find that when many people take the elevator, people will always habitually look up at the number of floors displayed, and want to "escape" this small space as soon as possible. The reason for this is that there is an intersection between people's private spaces in the elevator, that is, they feel that each other has entered their own private space, so they will feel uncomfortable and want to leave this narrow space as soon as possible. In the same way, people will feel uncomfortable in a crowded car, but also because someone has entered our private space, and people often feel more obvious about the space around the head and limbs.
Therefore, in order to ensure the comfort of the car space, in addition to ensuring that there is enough car interior space to "defend" everyone's private space in the car, it is also necessary to bring enough "living room experience" through the design of the simplifying home concept of "DI one space", so that sunlight and fresh air can circulate in the car, and get a comfortable experience like lying on the balcony of your own living room. Just like Xingtu Star Era ET, it not only gives a "construction area" of 4955mm x 1975mm x 1698mm in length, width and height, and a wheelbase of 3000mm, but also reduces the "shared area" through reasonable layout optimization, zui finally achieved an astonishing "suite area" (effective cabin space) of 3.45 cubic meters, and obtained a large room rate of 78% in the same class, which can stand out among many medium and large SUVs such as L6 and tsl X.
While ensuring the "inner area", in order to obtain a better and more comfortable space experience, it is also necessary to reasonably plan the length and width of the space, not only to ensure the comfort and safe driving of the front row, but also to take care of the riding experience of the second row. The plan given by the Star Era ET is 2181mm longitudinal depth and 1500mm of second-row horizontal space, which brings jizhi's spacious front and rear legroom, so that the second row of the 5-seater SUV can be spacious and comfortable when it is full, completely bid farewell to the embarrassment of the second row of 3 people in front of the empty seat, and can completely realize the freedom of the second-row passengers' stilted legs, and there will never be an embarrassing scene where there is nowhere to place the long legs of one meter eight.
Adequate interior space is indeed a necessary condition for comfort, but it is not a sufficient condition, and people's perception of space comfort is also related to many factors such as convenience, transparency, seat comfort, temperature and humidity of the car storage space. Among them, the convenience, transparency and seat comfort of the storage space in the car are very important.
When it comes to storage space in the car, the ability to fit more quantities and types of items and the ability to put items more easily are important criteria to measure its strengths and weaknesses. Also take the Star Era ET as an example, it provides a 546L large trunk and a 60L washable front trunk, under normal circumstances, the trunk can accommodate 10 20-inch suitcases, and with the function of folding the rear seats with one key, you can get up to 1835L trunk volume, which can accommodate 32 20-inch suitcases, and a comfortable bed space of more than two meters, the number of loads is not small.
In terms of the types of items to be loaded, the trunk of up to 1835L is not a problem for tents, tables and chairs when camping, or equipment such as skis and snowboards for self-driving skiing, or large furniture and appliances when moving, and even accommodation in the car. What's more worth mentioning is that its 60L washable front trunk has a sealable drainage hole reserved at the bottom, which greatly expands the types of items that can be reloaded, which can be used as a fish tank, and the fish caught during camping can be put directly into the front trunk, and ice cubes can also be added to chill the drinks and beer when the whole family camps, instantly expanding the capacity to a 60L outdoor refrigerator, in addition, for durian and other fruits or items with a relatively large taste, they can also be placed here separately for isolation and preservation with other items. The all-round space at the front and its separation from the passenger compartment make the front and rear passenger space clean and comfortable.
After zui, in terms of whether it is more convenient to put items, which is a standard for people's direct perception, Star Era ET has also made great innovations. For example, the common co-pilot dashboard, the conventional practice is to make an air conditioning outlet or audio, but the Star Era ET is ingenious and makes it a terrace-style dashboard, bringing users a table that can place books, cosmetics, keys and other items, so that the queen on the co-pilot in the morning opens the vanity mirror, and can reach out to get eyebrow pencils, lipsticks and other touch-up supplies, and can also place books, keys, etc. here on the way, which is convenient and practical.
Another example is its uniquely designed Starbucks bar, which is not only equipped with two 50W wireless super fast chargers, three 60W wired fast chargers and two Starbucks cup holders, but also reserves an open space under the middle aisle for luggage, bags and other bulky items, which is super practical. At the same time, the movable modular design also provides convenience for side parking, up and down and rear administrative offices.
Let's talk about the transparency of the interior space, for the interior space of "every inch of land", it is of course the best solution to increase the space at the physical level, but in the case of space quantification, it has become a must to improve the sense of space by improving the transparency of the interior space. According to research, the human visual system is very sensitive to light, and in a dim environment, insufficient light will lead to a decrease in visual information input, which will reduce the external stimuli received by the brain, and affect the perception of visual depth, making the space appear more closed and depressing. Therefore, it is very important to improve the light and transparency of the interior of the vehicle under the premise of ensuring the safety of the vehicle. Taking the Star Era ET as an example, it is equipped with a single canopy of 2.38 square meters of industry size, with an effective light transmission area of up to 1.57 square meters, sitting in the car is like being in your own sun room, which effectively improves the comfort of the ride while enhancing the sense of space in the car.
However, it is not uncommon for the car canopy to affect the riding experience after the sun is exposed, in order to reduce the occurrence of such situations, the canopy of the Star Era ET uses double-layer nano silver-plated heat-insulating glass, with an ultraviolet isolation rate of up to 99.9% and an infrared isolation rate of up to 98.5%. The red ultraviolet isolation rate exceeds the sales volume in the market, and the sun protection index is UPF50 of a certain brand of parasols. Sitting in the Star Era ET is like holding up a high-end parasol that can protect from the sun and insulate the heat, but at the same time, the sunlight can still "shine" into the car normally, even if you don't wear sunscreen, you don't have to worry about the damage to your skin when traveling in the scorching sun.
After Zui, let's talk about the comfort of the car's seat, which directly affects the comfort of the occupants for the interior space. So, what kind of chair makes you feel comfortable? In 1973, when the United States space agency launched one of its space stations, Skylab, researchers discovered that astronauts often adopt a neutral posture to relieve pressure on the musculoskeletal and spine when relaxing in space, and ergonomic chairs and zero-gravity chairs have become popular. However, due to the different heights, weights, body shapes, and habits of people, the neutral posture produced by people's zero-gravity seats cannot meet everyone's requirements, but is it enough to do zero-gravity only to do the right ergonomics?
The continuous development of materials science has also raised the threshold of human demand for seat fabrics and comfort to unprecedented heights. Compared with the traditional Nappa process, Nuprima uses more complex ten-layer process materials, and the seat has 208,000 ventilation holes, which are velvety and soft, skin-friendly and non-sensitive, with 16-way electric adjustment and 130° backrest adjustment to achieve "posture" and "touch" double true zero pressure, Achieve the best zero-gravity relaxation state to meet the comfortable riding needs of people with different body sensations.
As a movable space, the space design and innovation of new energy vehicles are particularly important, which is not only a movable personal space, but also an extension of family life scenes and a solution for diversified life, and a starting point for people to explore freely. With the development of new energy vehicles in mainland China in full swing, it is believed that there will be more and more models with super space comfort and innovation similar to the Star Era ET, which will jointly promote the development of China's new energy vehicle interior space revolution.
