Guangzhou New Energy Aion LX’s pre-sales will be controversial.

As always, the new style of painting, the three executives at the press conference repeatedly appeared in the words of the unprecedented ancient, epoch-making, the world’s first, the most scientific sense of the word, quite a bit of a word is not surprisingly endless.

Guangzhou New Energy’s self-selling product is its new flagship, Aion LX, with a pre-sale price of 250,000.

No matter how the manufacturer blows itself, the strength of the product is geometric, we have to calm down. As I said in the title, Aion LX has three major selling points: 650km, L3 autopilot, and 3.9 seconds.

Friends who are familiar with electric vehicles should have some understanding. The ultimate acceleration performance and long battery life are difficult to achieve at the same time. Like many car companies, Guangxin has also made a bad marketing, 650km battery life. And 3.9 seconds to break the hundred is actually not a parallel relationship in the same version of the car.

Let’s take a look at the model version:

Aion LX 60: Single motor two drive, maximum power 135 kW, NEDC battery life 503 km

Aion LX 70: Single motor two-wheel drive, maximum power 135kW, NEDC battery life 520 km

Aion LX 80: Single motor two-wheel drive, maximum power 150kW, NEDC battery life 650km.

Aion LX 80D: Dual motor four-wheel drive, maximum power 300kW, NEDC battery life 600 km.

The top of the two-wheel drive is the farthest, which is 650km. The four-wheel drive top is the fastest acceleration, and the 3.9-second breaks 100. This is also in line with common sense. These two versions of the model are used in the Ningde NCM811 battery, with the same 93 degrees of power, the four-wheel drive version in order to accommodate the acceleration performance, so sacrificed on the battery life.

As for the actual level of battery life to be used by consumers, this is not a big controversy. The biggest controversy is L3 level autopilot.

First talk about hardware. According to the official statement, Aion LX is equipped with the world’s top “High Precision Radar + Mobileye Q4 Camera” dual detection hardware combination, and high-definition map with positioning accuracy of up to 0.2 meters, can detect a radius of 200 meters. The location and action trends of vehicles and pedestrians within the vehicle can predict the 1 km ahead path in real time at high speed.

With this combination of hardware, Aion LX claims to be an L3-class autopilot that enables HWA high-speed lane-change assisted driving systems and APA-integrated parking. However, Guangzhou Automobile’s judgment on L3 automatic driving seems to be somewhat different from the industry. At present, few car companies dare to say that the production car supports L3 automatic driving.

L3 level autopilot, also known as limited autopilot, allows the vehicle to drive autonomously in most road conditions, but the driver still needs to stay focused and take over the vehicle in an emergency.

First of all, most of the road conditions, in fact, now the mainstream autonomous driving vehicles only support a certain degree of automatic driving ability on closed roads, such as high speed, because in the complex urban roads, the vehicle does not have enough redundancy mechanism. To judge complex road conditions to deal with the dangers that may occur at any time. In other words, if the Aion LX can only cope with high-speed cruising, lane change, it can’t be called L3 autopilot.

However, intelligent, Aion LX’s ADiGO intelligent IoT system is quite interesting.

First of all, the system is equipped with Face ID face recognition, which recognizes different drivers and matches the corresponding configurations. At the same time, it also monitors the driver’s physical condition, such as walking away. It will remind you by warning lights and alarm sounds.

When the vehicle is found to be too low, the system will actively ask, actively find the pile, actively identify the appointment, and directly open the navigation and extreme energy-saving mode to actively recover the power. Since this is an IoT system, it can also be interconnected with mobile phones, charging piles, smart homes, and smart factories, providing a larger imagination for smart mobile travel.

Because there is no test drive, we can only statically look at the exterior and interior performance of this car, which is very good overall.

The details of the appearance are not repeated here. In my personal aesthetic, this car is still very beautiful. In the interior, the Aion LX features Nappa seats, leather seats, suede ceilings, true aluminum IP trims, and a full-fit cold-bending screen. The brand has always been a luxury brand. But you have to be aware that these high-end materials that are tangible and tangible are not standard, and many are optional.

Guangzhou New Energy refers to personalization. You can use your app to make a limited arrangement of materials, technology, performance, etc., which means that different models are selected after different options. Prices are different. We simply tried it and the four-wheel drive model was almost 390,000.

Interestingly, GAC New Energy also provides a battery leasing program, which can be reduced by 6 to 100,000 depending on the model car price. We have already seen this familiar operation in the past. In fact, this is a financial stage plan. (Chinese regulations do not support separate sales of batteries and bodies)

The official also provides 6 free lifetime benefits for Aion LX’s first owner, free lifetime data and free lifetime data, and free lifetime warranty for the three years, free valet charging service for the first year and free helicopter for emergency scenes. .

The rest are normal operations, helicopter rescue really sees you…

About Aion LX, it is necessary to conclude it. Whether it’s appearance or intrinsic, or whether it’s battery life or acceleration performance and intelligent car machine, Aion LX is a great “looking” car. Although the product is good, GAC loves to say “big talk” in marketing. It is easy to “black” yourself.
