Chapter 145: Practicality is full
"The Polestar X is powered by a Stardust 3256 electric motor with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp! With a lightweight body, the fastest 000 acceleration can run to 8.9 seconds! This may seem like an average result, but it's not!
Passengers who have driven a Polestar X or a Polestar X taxi will have a good feeling that the Polestar X has a very fast start because the motor starts with maximum torque and does not need to change gears..."
Yang Zhirong briefly introduced the motor of Polestar X, originally the motor level of Polestar X was not so high, but Chen Zifan's [Stardust Technology] level is constantly improving, and various technologies are getting stronger and stronger.
Naturally, the motor specifications of the Polestar X have also been improved, and its front level is very close to that of some later 1.5T engines, but the acceleration ability in the rear will be greatly reduced, and the top speed is also very average.
Of course, for the audience of Polestar X, they don't care much about acceleration and performance, and those who really care about these are waiting for Xinghan 001, and the appearance design of Xinghan 001 has a very strong sense of combat at first glance.
The price of 188,000 yuan, combined with the consistent style of Stardust Technology and Xinghan Zhixing... Xinghan 001 will only be worth the price, the price of 188,000, needless to say, the configuration will definitely be full, and the details and textures will all be full.
They are more concerned about the battery life, after-sales and ride experience of the Polestar X, although they have known these configuration parameters for a long time, but those are all news exposed by the gunman or the media, and they can't believe it all.
At the same time, they still have some unrealistic fantasies in their hearts, hoping that Polestar X can bring something different like the Stardust mobile phone, but unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed, and Chen Zifan did not appear.
This also means that there is no "miracle" at the Double Star press conference, some are just down-to-earth and a little stronger than other cars at the same price, in addition to the brand history and influence, the rest is a little stronger.
"Polestar X uses a 40kh Stardust new energy battery, which has a comprehensive road range of up to 420 kilometers, and the average electricity consumption per 100 kilometers is less than 10kh, and the electricity bill is only about 5 yuan!"
Running 100 kilometers for 5 yuan, this kind of thing that you can't think of on a fuel car or even a fuel motorcycle, has really been done on the Polestar X, and the low cost of using the car has made countless viewers breathless.
At the same time, the heads of major automobile manufacturers also really felt "*** annoyance" for the first time, and they can treat Xinghan NI as a toy car, or they can not care that Xinghan NI is rapidly occupying the mini car market.
But Polestar X is different!
It's a pity that their sense of crisis came too late, or they have been on guard against new energy vehicles for a long time, but now the involution of the fuel vehicle market and their own reasons make it difficult for them to take action.
It may also be because the influence of new energy vehicles is too small, Haicheng's new energy industry is developing rapidly, but looking at the whole country, the proportion of new energy vehicles is very small, let alone the world.
Chen Zifan knows that Musk of Tesla Motors is also working hard, and directly released a new energy supercar this year, but what really made them reach the top was Edamame 3, Edamame Y and other products.
And these products are still very early~
Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar are different, they are aiming at the mass car market at the beginning, first launching the Xinghan NI with a sense of design and freedom, and then using the sub-brand to launch family cars.
Next, there are Xinghan 001, Xinghan 009 and other products, as well as a high-end technology coupe Xinghan 01 that paints cakes.
The range of 420 km is naturally not as good as some cars with large fuel tanks and fuel efficiency, and you can refuel at the gas station at any time, but the Polestar X is not a vegetarian, and the low cost and fast charging can further make up for these disadvantages:
"At the same time, the Polestar X is also equipped with super fast charging and vehicle discharge! It only takes 30 minutes to charge from 0 to 80%! It only takes 42 minutes to go from 0 to 100%! The discharge function is also standard 220V..."
One charge, one discharge, not only charges quickly, but also gives Polestar X more playability, such as pulling family and friends to a picnic on the weekend~
By the way, it has also led to the development of some small enterprises, such as those specializing in the production of outdoor electric grills and electric grills, although it is now the end of October, after the most prosperous season of the barbecue industry, these are not problems.
A car doesn't just last for a year?
"The Polestar X is also equipped with a 9.8-inch rectangular central display with a resolution of 1080p, and a built-in Stardust OS in-car version, which can be connected to the mobile phone through the Polestar app..."
These are all routine operations.
"The Polestar X also comes with keyless start, electric four-way seats for the main and co-driver, two-way manual seats for the second row, manual adjustment of the steering wheel, electric lift glass throughout the car, battleship-style gear lever, wireless charging for the front seats..."
Wireless charging is a must-have!
After all, it is the fast charging technology developed by Stardust Technology, so it is natural to try to promote it.
Electric lifting windows are not new, and many cars now have them, but some cars only have electric lifting windows in the front row, and the rear row is still hand-cranked...
The power seat is more powerful, the traditional manual seat adjustment is easy to adjust in place, and the power seat can be easily adjusted to the most suitable position for passengers, this thing is actually not new.
Some "luxury cars" are also used, but there are really few cheap cars like Polestar X that can be used, whether it is Polestar X or Xinghan ni, the main focus is electric, and the car is made as an electronic product.
The seat adjustment in the rear row is purely for the passengers, and it can be placed at about 135°, which is equivalent to lying down and resting, and can also alleviate the problem of motion sickness.
The so-called battleship-style gear lever is a wide and large, similar to the shift lever of a battleship, of course, the electric car does not need to change gears, only need to hang, R, N, P four gears on the line, than manual transmission much more labor-saving.
Unlike other cars, the Polestar X is marked with a single letter in English, where each of its gears is marked with Chinese characters, and some people will say that the Chinese characters are too earthy, too lo, and there is no forced character or anything.
But Xinghan Zhixing still goes his own way.
This is the case on the Xinghan ni, and the same is true on the Polestar X, and there is a detailed introduction to each function in the APP, as well as the maintenance process and so on.
For example, the fragrance system on Xinghan ni needs to be replaced regularly, the cycle is 1~2 months once, some male owners buy it and throw away the fragrance stick, because they can't use it, and female owners are diligent ~
In this way, it is a long-term income.
However, the Polestar X does not have a fragrance system for the star hanni, this kind of thing is suitable for small spaces to create a sense of atmosphere, and it is not necessary for large spaces.
"In addition to that, we also have an on-board FII, faux leather seats, rear charging ports... Do you know what's the best part? I'm sure a lot of people have noticed, right! Just like you think!"
Yang Zhirong waved his hand, and a close-up photo appeared on the large LCD screen behind him, which was the back seat of the Polestar X.
Immediately exploded on the spot:
"! I just found out!"
"Me too! I'll just say why I felt weird when I looked at the back row just now, and I always felt that something was wrong, but now I know! There's a missing vein in the middle! No wonder I look at the way Ichima Pingchuan looks!"
"Isn't Polestar X a sedan? Why can it be done in the back row? Where is the propeller shaft?"
"No wonder it looks so pleasing to the eye..."
"The back of the car should be flat! The person sitting in the middle is also comfortable, and if it is designed according to the previous design, it is really aggrieved to sit!"
"I thought you all knew..."
"I also thought that the last time the four of us took a taxi together, it was really comfortable to sit, the space was wide and large, and the legs were strong, but no one mentioned it when everyone got off, so I think we all knew..."
"It's just comfortable anyway!"
"yes..."
Yang waited for the discussion to pass before continuing: "The back row of our Polestar X can be put down
, after being put down, it will also present a flat state, that is... Everyone should understand~"
In other words, the Polestar X can be used as a bed car, you only need to stuff a sub futon in the trunk, put down the back row when you need it, and wake up when you sleep, just as the car is equipped with air conditioning and speakers.
The Polestar app also allows you to set the night mode for the Polestar X, setting the time for the air conditioner and music to turn on, giving the Polestar X more possibilities.
In other words, although the Polestar X does not have the modification mode of the Xinghan ni, it is how practical it is, not only practical, but also some functions are still in the aspect of "comfort".
"In terms of safety features, the Polestar X is equipped with six airbags in the whole car, and in terms of tyre and brake choice..."
The selection of these things in the early stage of design adheres to one principle: as long as they can be used and achieve results.
In fact, Polestar X has a fatal flaw in the eyes of Chen Zifan, Yang Zhirong and others: it is too noisy.
Its sound insulation is 1~2 grades worse than the Xinghan ni that has not upgraded the sound insulation of the whole car, not that its motor is loud, but the tire noise and wind noise are too large, and the sound insulation when running the paved road is not the same.
Therefore, if you want to improve the driving experience, you must either replace the silent tires or upgrade the sound insulation of the whole car.
There is no doubt that the Polestar X's sound insulation is much better than that of the current Japanese cars in the same price range.
Yang Zhirong didn't compare much, and directly released the last photo of Polestar X... The last two cards:
"Finally! It is the link to reveal the price, I believe many people have already guessed the price, it is 85,800 yuan, from now on, for a period of one year, Polestar X enjoys the benefits of no purchase tax and no insurance for the first year..."
It is said that it is a year, but in fact, it is just to create a tense psychological atmosphere for consumers.
"The battery of Polestar X will be guaranteed by Stardust New Energy for 8 years or 120,000 kilometers, and if you meet either of the two conditions, you can go to a Polestar direct store or 4S authorized store to replace the battery for free..."
The battery is free to change, but it's coming, and you must do it by the way, right? After all, the heart of the battery has become new, and the supporting ones have to be replaced with some new ones, so it's really not okay to wash the car, right?
There is a charge for all of these things.
That's why many people later said: If it's not just needed, it's completely unnecessary to buy a car.
And that's not all, there is another configuration of the Polestar X that has not been announced, and it is also not available on the taxi version, that is, the "sunroof", which only costs 4,000 yuan, and you can look up at the stars at night.
It sounds beautiful, but it's actually useless, and the sunroof may also bring problems such as water leakage, and there are many car owners who choose a car to buy with a sunroof, but they can't use it once later...
Even so, when Yang Zhirong announced this, the consumers in the square couldn't help but cheer excitedly, but it should be noted that the skylight and canopy are not a product.
The skylight on the Polestar X is the skylight, and the skylight on the Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 01 is the canopy, and from a visual point of view, the biggest difference between the two is that the skylight is a combination of two pieces of glass, and the skylight is a large piece of complete glass.
In addition, the canopy of Xinghan Zhixing is different from the canopy of ordinary automobile manufacturers, and there are many technologies applied in it, such as photochromic technology and electrochromic technology, which are adjusted together to light and dark.
Until now, there is still one product that has not been released, that is, the bus Polestar G, to be honest, this car does not have any outstanding features, it is produced with reference to the template of later generations.
It's just that in this year, many consumers haven't seen some of these functions~ So it's not so much about introducing Polestar G, it's better to introduce the two travel apps of Haicheng Bus and Tuohai Travel.
Yang Zhirong didn't say much, and directly summarized the two products in a few simple words: "We can bind a bank card on the Haicheng bus APP, and then open the Haicheng bus card, there are two payment methods..."
QR code, NFC payment.
"All car owners can register on Tuohai Travel, bind their own vehicles, complete the certification, and then they can participate in the online car-hailing industry, and they can take orders online and send passengers to the places designated by passengers."
As soon as the two APPs came out, the scene was silent, and then the discussion gradually became louder, and Yang Zhirong took the opportunity to hit the configuration parameters of Polestar G and announced its price.
However, the price of 1.2 million is not something that ordinary people should consider, and why buy a bus with 1.2 million? Only some rich people can play.
But at this time, the audience's attention has been all on other places, some people who don't care about the APP directly went to the front row to prepare for a test drive, and others have not recovered from the shock and are still confused.
"What do you mean?"
"What is ride-hailing?"
"That is... We can bind the identity of the car owner on the software, someone calls a car online, we run over to pick up and drop off, and after sending the person off, will we earn some travel expenses?"
"*** is the only one to do! What is someone called online car-hailing! Maybe there are more car owners than passengers!"
"That's right! Anyway, I don't get it..."
"I won't get it either, hey, go and number it, or the test drive wheel won't work?"
"Give me a row too!"
「……」
Only a small number of people silently took out their mobile phones, downloaded Tuohai Travel, and then downloaded a driver's version according to the instructions above, and began to complete various certifications, wanting to see what online car-hailing is.
