Chapter 215: Precursor to Autonomous Driving

As long as the appearance is handsome enough, the configuration is high enough, there is no major problem with quality control, and there is an after-sales solution, the car will be released quickly, and a new brand like Xinghan Zhixing will definitely have to go through a "novice period".

However, Xinghan Zhixing has a little difference, that is, the internal structure of new energy vehicles is definitely simpler than that of traditional fuel vehicles, plus the motors, batteries, etc. are self-produced, and the quality is definitely not bad.

At the very least, there will be a lower limit of protection.

Many "new force" car brands can even directly package a complete set of kinetic energy systems from Stardust New Energy, including battery packs, motors, etc., and then rub a car out on the basis of the kinetic energy system.

It's that compared to Xinghan Zhixing's profits, the pricing is expensive, but the profits are high, but the cars of Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar are low, and they are indeed cost-effective, but don't want to make too much.

Even so, every day, there are still many brands that are ready to build cars or have already started to build cars to visit Stardust New Energy, in order to maximize benefits...

Of course, worry is worry, at least the current Xinghan INI, Xinghan 001, Xinghan 009 are no big problems in terms of quality control or quality, and occasionally there are some small problems, such as a little abnormal noise in the window glass, accidentally touching a dent, and the after-sales service will be solved in time.

However, if it is not a quality problem, it must be repaired at a charge, which is also normal, and the maintenance cost of Xinghan Zhixing is not too expensive compared to other brands.

Roughly at a median level.

Lu Dongchang was still lamenting the appearance design and static riding experience of Xinghan 004, and when he introduced it to the camera by the way, his two buddies had already run to other cars, and they could be heard at "I T", "Niu B", and "oc" from a distance, which was really noisy.

His curiosity was also aroused, and after taking a circle around Xinghan 004, he followed him to the side of other cars, which he didn't know, and he looked... Well, men look at cars like they look at beautiful women, a group of people who change their minds quickly, or they don't change their minds either.

It's fraternity~

How? Can't you like them all?

Who says that men can only like one car anymore?

At least that's what Lu Dongchang thinks, because standing next to Xinghan 02... He couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: this is an SUV! This is a real urban utility vehicle! What is Polestar S?

Oh~ It turned out to be a youth reduction version.

I'm sorry~ I'm not very familiar.

Although he only really came into contact with the concept of SUV for the first time today, it did not prevent him from having a general understanding of this type of model, and in his opinion, Xinghan 02 is a perfect SUV in all aspects.

Perfectly what he expected!

The appearance is atmospheric, the space is large, the comfort is strong, the functions are rich, and the power is strong, like Xinghan 004, Xinghan 02 is also equipped with front and rear dual motors, and they are all 5+ level motors, and the acceleration ability is a batch of irritable ones.

Including the passability is also very good, you don't need to go to test drive at all, you can see it with the naked eye, the chassis is so high, is the passing performance not good? The four wheels also use independent air suspension, which is more advanced than that of Xinghan 004.

This is also normal, because Xinghan 02 is one level higher than Xinghan 004 in terms of positioning, one is a medium and large SUV, and the other is just an entry-level sports car.

The Xinghan 002 next to the next gear is a player at the same level as the Xinghan 001, Xinghan 004 and other models, but since there are more advanced cars, who will go to see the Xinghan 002 that has been reduced in all aspects?

After all, they don't know the price yet, and they don't know that there is a price difference of more than 100,000 yuan between the two cars.

Obviously, Xinghan 02 as an SUV model, its audience area is wider than Xinghan 004, Chinese people are definitely fond of SUVs, because they are all family people, this concept will greatly affect their choice of cars.

Just look at the people next to you, Xinghan 004 still had a chance to sit in the car just now, Xinghan 02 couldn't be lined up at all, even the back row was full of people, and from time to time you could hear people sitting in the car discussing something:

"This

The chair is really good!"

"It's so soft! And electric adjustment?"

"See? There are also two air conditioning outlets in the rear, as well as charging ports, central armrests... There's also a special place for mobile phones, and there's a sunshade next to the seat belt, huh? That's how it works!"

"It's a pity! For such a big car, it should be seven seats! Chop off some of the trunk..."

"Definitely not! You can't have that much rear space and comfort with seven seats, and the trunk space will shrink a lot, so I think it's good to be in this state now!"

"Yes, I also looked at the trunk, it is indeed big enough, the discharge port next to it, stuff a set of camping equipment and bring a few rice cookers, and it is no problem to go out for a picnic!"

"I want to spend the New Year and pull some New Year's goods..."

"I've also seen the configuration, and you can also choose to install a light-sensing canopy! It's the one on Xinghan 01! With solar charging! You can also adjust the light transmittance by yourself or something!"

"And its price..."

"That's right, I guess it's not cheap."

The function of Xinghan 02 is much stronger than that of Xinghan 001, and it uses dual motors + four-wheel drive, Xinghan 001 is more than 180,000, and the Xinghan 02 can not be lower than 260,000 at the lowest, or the most basic version.

The advanced version has to add tens of thousands.

It seems to be 300,000 smaller?

Thinking about it this way, many people's high enthusiasm faded in an instant, there is no way, a little unaffordable...

Good cars are not cheap!

In about 10 years, nearly 300,000 yuan can be used to buy a car, even in a new first-tier city like Haicheng, there are not so many, in contrast, the small circle of Xinghan 002 has become the next target that many people focus on.

It's been so long, and they have also figured out the naming routine of Xinghan Zhixing, Xinghan 002 is the same SUV model, but when you hear it, it is the same level as Xinghan 001, which is equivalent to an entry-level car.

Xinghan 001 is an A-class sedan, and Xinghan 002 is an A-class (compact) SUV, the models are not large, but they are actually completely enough for most people.

But...

There is Xinghan 02, an all-round upgraded car in front, Xinghan 002 can only be described as unsatisfactory, not that there is anything wrong with it, but there is no harm if there is no comparison, which is also a reason why Xinghan 01 will not be exhibited on the same stage as Xinghan 001 before.

I don't want the contrast to be too big.

This time the situation is different, Xinghan Zhixing has already opened sales of two successful cars, and there is no need to worry about what problems will be on the same stage, and by the way, consumers can have a clearer understanding.

Lu Dongchang queued for nearly 20 minutes before he finally felt Xinghan 02, and after getting out of the car, he went to compare Xinghan 002, and after carefully comparing the configuration and functions, he said to his mobile phone lens:

"The relationship between Xinghan 02 and Xinghan 002 is the same as that between Xinghan 01 and Xinghan 001, everyone should understand that I explain it this way, as far as I am concerned, I think Xinghan 02 is definitely not lost compared to Xinghan 01!

Because it can be equipped with some advanced functions on the Xinghan 01, such as a light-sensing canopy with solar charging, such as a full range of auxiliary driving packages, remote control, automatic parking, etc.

What interests me the most is that it also has a function of autonomous driving, I don't quite understand what autonomous driving is, but it should be literal, I think the gimmick of autonomous driving is greater than the actual effect.

Do you dare to entrust your life to the computer? I wouldn't dare anyway, but what do you say about this kind of thing... Maybe one day in the future, people will think that autonomous driving is the safest, safer than manual driving."

Lu Dongchang's words are also very easy to understand, when one day in the future, automatic driving will be fully popularized, and almost all the cars that children see after birth are self-driving, and occasionally a car is driven by a person, they will also marvel:

"This man is too bold, isn't he? Dare to drive manually? Not afraid of turning the wheel around? Not afraid that you can't brake when you step on the accelerator deeply? It's too dangerous, so I'd better leave it to the computer..."Maybe that's the case.

But at least it's still early.

Lu Dongchang didn't dwell on this topic, but continued: "In contrast, Xinghan 002 is more suitable for the existing market environment, the space is enough, and the comfort is acceptable, but it is not as atmospheric as Xinghan 02, and I look forward to the final pricing to surprise us!"

He thinks that if Xinghan 002 is also set at about 180,000, there is no problem, and the function of Xinghan 002 is indeed less than that of Xinghan 001, but in exchange for greater space and comfort, a price is very reasonable!

In fact, he guessed wrong, Chen Zifan needs a sharper pricing to make SUV models successfully enter the automobile market, and then stimulate a wave of new energy vehicle sales, it is impossible to have the same price as Xinghan 001.

At the beginning, Li Yuan gave a plan, dividing Xinghan 002 into three versions: the basic version is 155,800 yuan, the advanced version is 165,800 yuan, and the four-wheel drive version is 185,800 yuan, and later this plan was vetoed by himself.

In the end, two versions were left: the basic version of Xinghan 002 was 155,800 yuan, and the advanced version was 169,800 yuan.

Four-wheel drive version?

What to do with the 4WD version?

The basic version is already sufficient, and the advanced version will add some auxiliary driving and electronic control functions, which not everyone needs, and it is more suitable to divide into different versions.

After looking at the three cars in one go, Lu Dongchang looked around, and couldn't help but ask the staff:

"What about Xinghan 01? Where's that car?"

The staff explained:

"All of the new cars we had at this new energy auto show were new cars, so Xinghan 01 did not participate in the exhibition..."

"When will it be available?"

"This... This..."

The staff would love to say:

You ask me, then who do I ask?

I don't know!

But Lu Dongchang estimates that it is also fast, 2~3 years will definitely be no problem, many functions on Xinghan 01 have been split out, presumably the research and development progress is no problem, but I don't know what the mass production version looks like.

While thinking, he walked to the car Xinghan 03, which attracted a lot of onlookers, because it seemed to have a strong sense of technology and business, it stands to reason that these two feelings are not compatible, but Xinghan 03 has no sense of disobedience.

This is a seven-seat PV of Taizhenger's eight classics, and now there is nothing to say about the seven-seat version that was shouting on the side of Xinghan 02, because Xinghan 03 is very "luxurious" in addition to a sense of technology and business.

Side-opening power doors, electric slide rails, airline seats, ventilation and heating, 24-way electric adjustment...

Aviation seats seem to be rotten in 2022, and even some modification workshops will have an aviation seat kit, but in this year, it is simply a luxury car in a luxury car.

And it is also a dual motor, the same is more than 500 horsepower, the battery pack is even more outrageous, according to the information on the parameter introduction table, the expected cruising range can even reach more than 800 kilometers, and the acceleration ability is needless to say, within 5 seconds is definitely no problem.

Not only is it luxurious, but it is also very capable of running!

Handsome enough! And noodles!

However, it is clear that the target group of this car is not ordinary consumers, and it needs to have a certain economic strength.

Polarization is severe.

After going through the appearance, interior, and details normally, Lu Dongchang didn't continue to pay attention to this car, not that it was bad, but that it didn't suit his appetite.

I took a photo with the two buddies for a while, and the three of them reluctantly left the stage, Xinghan Zhixing did give them a big surprise this time, the four new cars are very good in terms of appearance design and static riding experience, and they have begun to take on the style of "big factory".

Of course, Xinghan Zhixing still has a long way to go if it wants to become a big factory in the automotive field, and it will take time, and the new energy vehicle industry has just started. Who can say for sure?

At least for now, it seems likely to be!

"Where next?"

"After watching Xinghan Zhixing's cars, I am not interested in other brands, the gap is too big."

Lu Dongchang couldn't help but nod when he listened to the words of the two buddies, indeed, Xinghan Zhixing has been unbeatable in the field of new energy vehicles, but after all, they also walked around the other booths one by one.

There are a lot of brands with designs that are also interesting!

At the same time, they did not forget that Xinghan Zhixing also branched out a separate electric motorcycle brand Xinghan OTO this year, and there is already a direct store in the provincial capital cities of each province, and the scale is quite large.

But it's a bit embarrassing to have only one car~

The three new electric motorcycles are to make up for the lack of products, Lu Dongchang and the three of them have moved all the way from Area A to Area B, Area B is an area dedicated to the exhibition of electric motorcycles, and when they entered Area B, all three of them were silent.

Then he burst into foul language:

"! What is this?"

If new energy vehicles are still within their understanding, then electric motorcycles... The variety of designs is simply beyond their imagination, and if you look at brands such as Dafen Ride, you can see how exaggerated the design of electric motorcycles is.

In Chen Zifan's memory, BMW also produced an electric motorcycle, the model is BMW CE04, the domestic price is 150,000 yuan, and the sales are very miserable, but it is said that in many countries in Europe, this car sells well.

It should be more a question of spending power.

The design style of the electric motorcycle has actually completely departed from the traditional motorcycle, and it can be seen from this exhibition that the design of the three new electric motorcycles of Xinghan OTO is quite conservative in the exhibition.
