The ideal car, it can be said that this year is the most highly anticipated new car player.
Two months before the mass production was delivered, the ideal car opened the road test drive for the first production car ONE of the media. According to the media voice of the previous period, it can be said that the praise is “a mess.”
The readers of the Dong Che Club clearly asked me to “speak the shortcomings first.”
Before the article is necessary to explain, the test drive that this ideal is taken is the PP3 stage trial car, which is also in the non-production phase, and there are two stages from the final SOP mass production.
However, the current car is infinitely close to mass production in terms of mechanical quality. The remaining two months of optimization work is mainly on the digitalization of suppliers and software.
The test drive of the whole day covers the provincial road and the highway section. The ideal ONE gives the most intuitive feeling is “equilibrium”, which means that it is not easy to find a “hard” for this car.
This is not my own subjective feeling. I got a similar answer when I talked with my media colleagues.
But “balance” is not equal to “perfect”, let’s talk slowly.
First say the appearance of the interior
Since the release of the ideal ONE, the exterior of the car has no suspense, and all the dark details are well known.
For the appearance, I will briefly summarize it.
The through-headlights and taillights are in line with the current trend,In the large size and blackened color grid, the ideal ONE head is highly recognizable, and the slender lamp set and the large intake air on both sides combine to have the charm of the Cadillac XT6.
Compared with the front of the car, the ideal ONE’s rear end is more mediocre. The lighting through the taillights is good, and it still has a strong American flavor. As for who you guessed. Because it is a prototype car, the tail of the new car is very clean, only the “Li” car logo is dotted, and the production version will have the “ideal ONE” model logo, which is required by laws and regulations.
The hood is also adorned with the “Li” logo. The boot cover is a layer of tight plastic cover, which means that the extension mechanism of the car is not visible from the outside to the inside. The original factory only reserved the addition port of glass water. This approach is very similar to many self-owned brands, probably for soundproofing, and other reasons are not known.
Summary in one sentence, much like the BMW X5, but the lines are rounded.
Official offers six body colors, white/silver/grey/black/blue, and a limited edition Baby Blue. The latter requires an optional price of 10,000 and will not be delivered until December.
It is necessary to remind that the rarer the color, the narrower the channel of your touch up, and the higher the maintenance cost later. After all, it is difficult for the general repair shop to call out such special paint.
The ideal delivery will be a six-seat version, and there will be a seven-seat version later. In addition to the number of seats, the interior of the two cars will not change much. The ideal ONE interior gives the most intuitive feeling that the material is solid, it may be the reason of the supplier, the ideal ONE materialThe details are similar to the Weilai ES8, which costs nearly half a million yuan next door.
Of course, the most eye-catching is the four-screen layout of the central control T-zone.
The main drive has a 12.3-inch meter, a central control 16.2″ large screen, a second-drive 12.3-inch screen, and a 10.1-inch screen at the bottom. (“Beat face” Porsche Taycan)
The division of the four screens is clear, the meter does not have to say much, mainly shows the driving information, the central control screen is the center of the car machine, the sub-driving screen is mainly used for the task of audio-visual entertainment, and the vice-driver can watch the film-playing drama during the driving process.
In order to avoid affecting the driver, only in the parking state, the co-driver can use the single-finger gesture to share the video of the sub-driving screen “Flying Screen” to the central control panel. The vehicle is also equipped with a headphone jack for the secondary driver to cut off the interference of the sound to the driver.
The bottom screen is mainly responsible for air conditioning, unlocking, mode switching, etc., and all the functions that require high frequency use are arranged. With fewer and fewer physical buttons in the car, “touchscreen air conditioners” have been criticized by riders.
This ideal solves this pain point through gesture operation. In addition to the regular touch operation, tap the screen, drag up and down to adjust the temperature, and drag left and right to adjust the fan gear. The biggest advantage of this is that it realizes that the touch screen cannot blindly operate the air conditioner.
The interesting thing is that the UI of the gesture operation is very “fruitful”, very similar to Apple’s iOS design. Also learning Apple’s drop-down menu of the central control screen is almost exactly the same as the control center of the iPhone.
Users can also use voice operation navigation, air conditioning, sunroof, window and other functions, the recognition rate is not bad, but the wake-up rate is very affected by the environment, especially when the window is noisy.
In order to prevent the central control entertainment system and instrument and the bottom function screen from “fighting”, the car is equipped with two processors, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A and Texas Instruments J6. The former is responsible for entertainment and the latter is responsible for driving information and function control.
There is a detail worth mentioning. Ideally, the “tank lock” is placed on the function control screen as a high frequency switch. It was learned by the ideal staff that, unlike many conventional fuel vehicles, the high-pressure fuel tank was ideally used, which meant that the exterior fuel tank cover could not be opened even if the vehicle was unlocked.
Unlocked by the button inside the car, the tank will probably undergo a five-second pressure relief process, and the outside personnel can open the fuel tank cap by pressing.
About the four-screen car system system summary, UI design is very close to the old habits of smartphone users, the menu level is simple, the function is still easy to find, but the anti-reflective effect of the screen needs to be strengthened.
Under the summer sun, the main driving instrument has a slight “mirror” phenomenon, but does not affect the reading of information. The main and the second drivers can hardly see the screen in front of each other. Although the actual use has no effect, the perception is somewhat unpleasant.
As a six-seat model, the second row of seats naturally has to be mentioned, which is also the ideal part of the ideal. Like the commercial vehicles like the GL8, the second row of two seats separates, leaving the access to the third row to ensure the privacy of the second row of passengers.
For a car with a wheelbase of 2935mm, there is no need to worry about the second row of space, and the cushion is fully supported.
Each seat supports electric adjustment and has armrests on both sides, once in treasureMa 7 Series, soft pillow seen on the 5 Series also appeared in the ideal ONE seat for comfort must be a big plus point.
The second row of seat belts is designed to avoid the shackles of the passengers. However, the seat armrests on the side of the door have caused me to get on and off the passengers of this size. Flexible and retractable.
As for the third row, I have a good idea. I am one meter and seventy-five. Under my driving position, I adjusted the second row to my limit. The space in the third row is OK, and the leg space is good. However, the short seat cushion can not support my thighs, and the seat padding is relatively thin, which can only be described as a “hard bench” compared to the second row.
I always think that the assessment of the third row of seats should not be just a single dimension of “leg space”. There are many ways for manufacturers to “steal space”. Only when they are comfortable, it is excellent. Can be considered “available”.
There are currently no seven-seat/six-seat SUVs of regular size that can be excellent, and the ideals of knowing the product are not able to pass this. Therefore, if you want to take care of the comfort of the three rows, you are strongly recommended MPV.
The ideal detailing should be the most careful in the new car. For example, the third row actually gives two “advanced” Type-C interfaces, and it is necessary to know that the C-port “on the car” product is still available. It’s rare.
