For any car company, there is still a long way to go to truly occupy the minds of consumers.
The winter is over, but the Guangzhou Auto Show that just opened is still very lively.
As one of the most powerful new vehicles in mass production and delivery, Xiaopeng also brought the latest G3 2020 and pure electric midsize coupe P7 to the scene and offered attractive car discounts: as long as November Buying 2019 models or 2020 Xiaopeng G3 between the 15th and the 8th, you can get a portable charging gun worth 980 yuan and 5 basic maintenance vouchers.
This company, which has just completed the $400 million Series C financing, has gradually found its own path of differentiation after its establishment five years ago. The G3 2020, which debuted at the Guangzhou Auto Show, is different from other brands of the same price in terms of battery life and intelligence level. It is considered to be the most worthwhile smart electric SUV within 200,000.
In terms of battery life, the 2020 Xiaopeng G3 520 has a driving range of 520 kilometers under NEDC comprehensive conditions. The working condition measurement standard consists of three urban road conditions and one suburban road condition. If the user only commutes within the city most of the time, their actual battery life may increase. The 2020 Xiaopeng G3 400 has a driving range of 401 kilometers under the NEDC comprehensive working conditions.
The ability to achieve such a high cruising range is inseparable from its battery energy density. Xiaopeng G3 520 uses a new generation of square ternary lithium battery provided by Ningde Times brand, with an energy density of 180 wh/kg and an operating temperature range of -30 to 55 °C, which can adapt to extreme environments such as high temperature and cold. If the user uses the Xiaopeng super charging pile, the battery can be charged from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes, and the electric energy is 33.25 kwh.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaopeng Automobile is the only self-built super-fill station in China. Of course, if the owner can’t touch Xiaopeng’s super-fill station on the road, you can also use other brands of charging piles. Xiaopeng said that their charging compatibility tests cover cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou.The charging station between the cities has a charging compatibility of over 99%. Therefore, the user does not have to worry about the charging problem.
In addition to battery life, the car’s entire battery compartment is also designed with a flame-retardant structure and explosion-proof valve, and added Fuse protection to achieve IP68 waterproof and dustproof level. This level is currently the highest waterproof and dustproof level in the world. In theory, it can be immersed in tens of meters deep, immersed for a long time and completely prevent foreign objects and dust from invading, and can cope with common rain and weather, and ensure battery safety.
Of course, smart electric cars can’t just watch battery life. If you carefully observe the body of the 2020 Xiaopeng G3, you will find that it is equipped with 12 ultrasonic sensors, 4 body cameras, 1 forward camera, and 3 millimeter wave sensors. These sensors are used to help the G3 identify roads, vehicles, pedestrians and obstacles and feed back to the smart chip to implement the XPILOT 2.5 Autopilot Assistance System.
This L2.5-class assisted driving system includes ACC full-speed adaptive cruise function – users can start at any speed when the vehicle speed is greater than 15km/h (if there is a vehicle in front) Turn the ACC on the steering wheel and set the cruising speed and the following distance to enter the cruise state. The advantage is that the driver can liberate his right foot without stepping on the brakes or throttle, reducing driving fatigue and increasing comfort.
At the same time, this car is also equipped with TJA traffic congestion assist and ICA smart cruise assist. It is the centering aid for LCC lanes available in both city and high speed. It can detect the lane marking line through the camera mounted on the front windshield. When starting to deviate from the current driving lane and the driver does not operate the turn signal, the system applies a corrective steering intervention to correct the vehicle’s travel trajectory. This can prevent the driver from losing focus or uneven road surface and causing the vehicle to deviate from the normal traveling track, thereby improving driving safety.
More importantly, this car is also equipped with ALC automatic lane change assist function. In the automatic assisted driving state, the driver can judge the traffic and the real-time traffic conditions by automatically turning the turn signal. It can reduce the potential risk of artificial lane change due to visual blind spots. This function also made Xiaopeng Automobile the first car manufacturer to realize the L2.5-level automatic driving assistance function. In addition, the car can be based on the A-column infrared camera inside the car, automatically analyze the driver’s distraction, fatigue status, real-time reminder of bad conditions, to ensure driving safety.
In addition to assisted driving during driving, the 2020 Xiaopeng G3 can also help drivers when parking, for example, helping drivers quickly find and determine the right parking space, and easily park the car in horizontal or vertical parking spaces. This solves the problem of parking at night when the line of sight is poor, the parking space is small, and parking is possible. Xiaopeng said that their parking technology has covered 70% of the scene and the parking success rate is as high as 80%.
The consumers who buy smart electric vehicles at the moment are mostly young people aged 30-40 who like to adopt early adopters and are willing to accept cutting-edge technology. For them, OTA is an important sign that a car is upgraded from mechanized equipment to IT equipment. It is an essential element to judge whether a car is a “smart interconnection.” However, at present, few car companies around the world can get through the OTA, and the Xiaopeng G3 2020 is the only car manufacturer that has the OTA function of the whole vehicle except for Tesla.
According to the information provided by Xiaopeng Automobile, the 2020 Xiaopeng G3 complies with the 2018 C-NCAP five-star collision design standard, and the high-strength and above steel use ratio reaches 70%, of which the ultra-high-strength steel plate (above 550MPa) accounts for Up to 7%, 1500MPa thermoformed steel plate accounts for up to 6%, the front hatch is made of lightweight high-strength aluminum alloy material, and the high-strength frame-type body structure is used to reduce the weight of the car body, improve economy and increase battery life. The aspect can greatly improve the vehicle’s overall vehicle strength and torsion resistance, improve the driving stability and safety of the vehicle, and make the driver and passenger feel like a cage-shaped cockpit built of steel bars.
In addition to these hard powers, the 2020 Xiaopeng G3 is still a lot of work on the look. This car is the first intelligent pure electric SUV in China with “Panorama Space Cockpit”. The 1.889m2 panoramic front windshield brings 40% more top view than ordinary glass, which can make the scenery along the way and reduce driving. The restraint of the passengers in the car. At the same time, thanks to its UV and heat resistance, the top sunshade can effectively block the glare of the sun and protect privacy.
This month, “Central State Organs 2019-2020 New Energy Pure Electric Vehicle Agreement SupplyThe purchase project officially released the bidding announcement. Xiaopeng G3 was successfully selected for its high intelligence, high security and high reliability. Of course, for any car company, there is still a long way to go to truly occupy the minds of consumers. .
