Huawei Changan launched in-depth cooperation, and Aouita earned CHN model evolution empowerment.
At present, the competition of smart electric vehicle track in China is fierce, and the emerging brand Aouita can stand out from it without the deep empowerment of Changan Automobile, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. Recently, Huawei and Changan Automobile have carried out in-depth cooperation, focusing on the R&D, production, sales and service of intelligent driving system and incremental components of intelligent networked vehicles through the establishment of a new company by Huawei and the shareholding of Changan. In the future, Aouita will give priority to the technological advantages of the new company and accelerate its step towards an international high-end smart electric vehicle brand.
It is reported that after the establishment of the new company, Huawei will integrate the core technologies and resources of the smart car solution business into the company, and Changan Automobile, as an investor, will join hands with Huawei to support the future development of the company. The company is committed to becoming a world-class leader in the automotive intelligent driving system and components industry, and cooperates with partners to jointly promote the upgrading and development of smart car technology and industry.
As early as before this cooperation, Huawei and Changan had a close relationship. Together with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, they jointly created a new generation of intelligent electric vehicle technology platform CHN, which is the industry leader. Based on this platform, Aouita has successively launched "Emotional Intelligent Electric SUV" Aouita 11 and "Future Intelligent Luxury Car" Aouita 12, bringing users a more technological, advanced and superior product experience.
Specifically, Aouita 11 is the first flagship model of Aouita, which is equipped with HI Huawei’s full-stack smart car solution. It has excellent intelligent driving ability and excellent mechanical quality, and can bring users a better travel experience. It is worth mentioning that Aouita 11 is the first automobile brand in the world to reach Mount Everest by intelligent driving, which is truly out of the circle in the industry and has attracted the attention of many users. In November this year, Aouita 11 delivered 4,080 units, actively implemented the brand promise, and accelerated the response to users’ expectations.

Who is tomoji？ Where did you come from and where did you go？
After attending the Zhiji auto conference, I posted some pictures of new cars on social media and immediately received a user comment: "Buying a car these days is the same as buying a mobile phone." What this user actually means is that the current car is updated quickly and dazzled.
Through this topic, we go deep into the perspective of industry. What is happening in the automobile industry is also very similar to the development path of smart phones. In addition to the historic event that Apple defeated Europeans, China’s mobile phone industry has also become the most important pole in the world, and its brand image and core technology have made rapid progress. Huawei even made its own various core chips. Today, it used to be considered as an insurmountable operating system, and Huawei also used the HarmonyOS operating system to announce that we had turned over this mountain.
Under the background that cars are becoming smarter and more electrified, the whole industry is similar to the smart phone industry in the past, but the wheelbase of time is not long enough. Maybe looking back 10 years later, this feeling will be more profound.
Let’s focus on the present. The number of new automobile brands in China is unique in the world, and those traditional automobile manufacturers are also trying to build higher-end new brands, polish more eye-catching new products and start the horn of having more core technologies through this historic opportunity of change. Last month’s case was Dongfeng Motor, which launched Lantu, and this month’s case was SAIC, which pushed Zhiji to the stage.
Who is tomoji?
Strictly speaking, Zhiji is not unique to SAIC, but a new brand jointly created by SAIC, Alibaba and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech. As a newly established brand, you may still be unfamiliar with it.
Zhiji, which reads "self". Why take such a name? According to the official, Zhiji is taken from The Book of Changes, "Knowing everything is around, but Dao Ji is under the world", aiming at understanding everything with wisdom, diligently exploring, defining, creating and realizing the smart travel driven by the times and needed by users.
We can simply understand that intelligence represents intelligence; Represent oneself, alsonamelyUsers.If you read their introductions in the official media of Zhiji, you will definitely see what cars should look like in the intelligent age."This sentence.In addition to the three major shareholders, 4.9% of Zhiji’s shares will be built into a user rights platform.Therefore, Zhiji is a condensation of the two visions expressed by this brand.
Zhiji’s English brand name is "IM", which is the same as the Chinese name. Besides, purely for fun, the name IM is attractive, at least it will make people think of the iPhone.
The user rights platform is heavy enough, so it goes without saying what users participate in product design.
Where is the intelligence?
Is Zhiji really smart? Zhiji’s speed is fast enough. On the 13th, Zhiji has released two new cars, a car and an SUV, all of which have not been officially named, and they have no names when they are unveiled. Presumably, the naming of new cars that are still brewing inside must also have strong characteristics. Cars will be accepted during the Shanghai Auto Show in April, listed at the end of the year, and delivered to users in 2022. The progress of SUV is a little late, but it will also be listed in 2022.
Through specific models, let’s look at the intelligence of Zhiji.
Zhiji’s car is equipped with intelligent lighting system, which is composed of 2.6 million pixels DLP and 5,000 LED ISC, and can realize V2X driving fusion interaction and intelligent lighting expression. Specific functions, first, smart lighting navigation; Combined with high-precision map and navigation road planning, the next route can be guided by changing lights.
The second is Spot light pedestrian reminder; The infrared and visual fusion perception system of the whole vehicle is integrated to help pedestrians predict traffic risks in advance, for example, the number of seconds of traffic lights can be displayed on the lights. Third, the width-indicating optical blanket guidance; It means that the new car can recognize the road narrowing condition, automatically trigger the width-indicating light carpet in advance, and can automatically adapt to the lane line to draw the light carpet.
Fourth, the wisdom light moves with the eyes; Tracking the eyeball orientation through the camera in the car, and controlling the direction in which the headlights illuminate the driver. In addition, the smart lighting system supports flexible and personalized OTA, allowing users to design freely and enhance interest.
Zhiji’s car is equipped with an image sensor with 150 million pixels as a whole, which supports 180 distortion-free ultra-wide-angle, 4K high-definition video shooting, super night scene, high dynamic range, time-lapse photography, slow-motion photography and other modes. Videos can be edited and shared to social media with one click, and can be connected to major live broadcast platforms to broadcast live from the first perspective, and professional photography templates are provided.
This system is called Carlog, and it is extremely fresh. In the future, Kaizhiji’s car can easily record the picturesque scenery and cultural stories passing by and share them conveniently.
The eye-catching 39-inch huge display screen in the car can be intelligently lifted and lowered according to the usage scene, and there is also a 12.8-inch 2K AMOLED curved central screen on the lower side; Inside the screen is Zhiji’s IMOS system.
With the screen group full of science and technology, IMOS system has three characteristics, which are flowing, moist and pure. These three elegant words refer to multi-screen display respectively; Based on the weather, time, road conditions, and even based on the user’s mood, users are recommended in different scenarios; Only some necessary intuitive information is presented when driving. Sounds good? At least it aroused our strong curiosity and looked forward to the real experience.
From now on, charging will be intelligent. Zhiji’s car will be equipped with 11 kW high-power wireless charging for the first time in the world. It is said that the charging efficiency is almost the same as that of traditional charging, and it can charge 10.5 kWh in one hour, which is equivalent to 70-80 kilometers of battery life according to NEDC working conditions.
These intelligent abilities are relatively innovative. Then, to what extent has Zhizhi achieved the intelligence in the automatic driving ability that the industry is competing for at present?
The first model, namely the car, will be equipped with the NVIDIA Xavier computing platform with a computing power of 30-60TOPS, and the integrated sensing solution of 15 high-definition visual cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, as well as the algorithm developed based on the characteristic road conditions and driving habits in China, will form the whole system of automatic driving.
From the hardware point of view, the ability of this system is in the first-class level at present. However, the new car will be delivered in 2022, when Weilai ET7 with stronger book strength will also be delivered.
Zhiji has also considered a more radical scheme to provide new cars with upgrade redundancy in a compatible way. At present, it is not clear whether the redundant system can be installed after installation or introduced in the form of a modified model.
The key upgrades of this redundant system are lidar and NVIDIA Orin X chip. It is exaggerated that the number of lidar will reach three; NVIDIA Orin X chip and weilai ET7 use the same model, and the computing power will soar to 500-1000+TOPS.
As for the time point, the official said that the lidar will enter the mature stage of commercial mass production, and Zhiji Automobile will be upgraded immediately. Considering that Weilai plans to deliver ET7 equipped with lidar to users in 2022, Zhiji’s speed should not be too late.
As for the specific actual experience, the news given by Zhiji be The functions of the automatic driving system include memorizing parking and calling cars, automatically parking service and calling cars, traffic light recognition, automatic crossing, traffic jam prevention, automatic obstacle avoidance, automatic lane change, overtaking, getting on and off ramps according to the navigation path, and rear-end collision alarm.With the permission of national laws and regulations and the opening of high-precision maps, by the end of 2021, wisdomone’s ownThe car will have the ability to take over the automatic driving from point to point.
Zhiji focuses on automatic parking service and wake-up car. This function allows users to get off the bus and let the vehicle automatically parking service through the mobile APP; When picking up the car, the car will automatically park out of the parking space and drive to the designated location to facilitate the user to get on the bus. By the end of 2021, the functions of automatic parking service and calling cars will be applied in certain commercial centers in first-tier cities.
In 2022, it will gradually expand to specific supermarkets in first-tier and new first-tier cities. This function is quite beautiful when you think about it. After a year, the new car is delivered and you can drive Zhiji’s car to a specific shopping mall, so you can save the trouble of finding a parking space. I have to say, the development of technology is really fast. Of course, the premise is that Zhizhi can accomplish his goal on time.
In addition, the actual experience of the autopilot system, we have to wait until 2022 to get the answer, that is, it is not really that smart.
How is the performance?
Intelligence must be the most important ability of future cars, not power and endurance. Power and endurance in the future, everyone should do the same. Therefore, it is rational for Zhiji to focus on intelligence. Having said that, the new car released by Zhiji is also excellent in terms of power and endurance.
The new car is equipped with front and rear dual motors, and the rear axle motor is the main driving source. The total maximum power is 400 kW, and the torque is 700 Nm, which is slightly less than that of Weilai ET7, but the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is consistent with it, only 3.9 seconds.
Standard 93 kWh battery pack, with 115 kWh battery pack; Although the semi-solid battery technology adopted by Weilai ET7 battery pack is not adopted, it is also the first in the world to use silicon-doped lithium-supplementing technology, which realizes the ultra-high energy density of 300 watt-hours/kg, and can support Zhiji’s car to reach the battery life of nearly 1000 kilometers.
You don’t have to worry about the ability of the chassis. The new car is equipped with an all-aluminum chassis with a front double wishbone and a rear five-bar suspension, a brake-by-wire system, an AKC rear wheel steering system by wire, and a CDC intelligent electronic control suspension system, and the key adjustment is the responsibility of Williams professional chassis adjustment team from one of the three F1 teams.
It can be said that Zhiji represents the peak of SAIC’s strength.
Can the future be expected?
The emergence of intellectual self is aptly described by being in the right place at the right time. Tianshi refers to the intelligent and electrified industrial transformation, which represents the opportunity to change lanes and overtake into the high-end market; In addition, after years of development, the industry has reached a critical point of technological leap, and the infrastructure construction is also improving day by day. It seems that Zhiji’s admission is late, but it just happened to catch up with the good opportunity.
SAIC’s own brand has gained sufficient technical foundation and experience in various aspects through its development in the low-end market in the past, and SAIC itself is also quite rich, which is the geographical advantage of Zhizhi itself. People and better understanding, the background and resources that Alibaba and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech can bring need not be said.
When I came out of Zhiji’s release venue, Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China, and looked up at this 632-meter symbol of China’s economic take-off, I couldn’t help feeling again that, like the smart phone industry, China will surely make breakthrough progress in the future of the automobile industry and become the most important pole in the world.
And the new intellectual will witness this process; And what is its own fate? After reading our introduction, what do you think of it?

On December 23rd, Huawei released a new mobile phone and our new car at the same time, which was the first time that two smart terminals, a mobile phone and a car, were released at the same conference. The conference was a great success. It cooperated with Huawei and has a strong online digital marketing channel, especially in the core business district, which has a large number of offline store resources and is convenient for users to reach. We pursue quality delivery, adopt experiential marketing, and adopt a new sales model based on our vast offline store resources, which has a good response and strong customer purchase intention. We think this new sales model is the development trend of intelligent electric vehicles.
Second, explain the company’s current hot topic in the market (1) Xiaokang initiated a new model of joint cross-border cooperation.
On the question of whether Xiaokang is a foundry, we made it clear that we didn’t do it before and now, let alone a foundry. Eighteen years ago, before we entered the automobile industry, the cooperation with Dongfeng Group realized the first successful cross-border of Xiaokang shares, and Xiaokang shares did not work as a foundry. According to the strategic agreement, joint business cooperation agreement and related agreements signed by us and Huawei, we and Huawei are long-term partners. From R&D to manufacturing to delivery of automobile business, the company is responsible for R&D, manufacturing, delivery, service and creating user experience in the whole life cycle; Huawei is deeply involved in product definition, quality control and channel sales.
The cross-border cooperation between Xiaokang and Huawei is deeply successful. The teams of the two sides have worked hard day and night and invested huge manpower and resources. Now and in the future, there is no reason for the two sides not to cooperate.
(2) Regarding whether SF5 is discontinued:
SF5 and Wujie M5 are both models of Celestial Company, and the company will continue to introduce new models to meet the needs of more users. As far as the company is concerned, we will not take the initiative to stop production. As long as users have demand, we will produce and deliver it. That’s the case with SF5. We will not take the initiative to stop production. The price of SF5 and Wujie M5 are different, so users can choose. We give the choice to users! Orders will be produced, delivered and served, and Cyrus will serve every car and every new and old user! Whether SF5 or M5, we will achieve high-quality delivery.
(III) Question and answer session of investors
Q: A new model of cooperation between Huawei and Xiaokang emerged at the end of the 21st century. Can you introduce the cooperation model in detail and how to learn from each other’s strengths?
A: The cooperation with Huawei is cross-industry cooperation. Huawei Terminal Company is well aware of customer needs. As a mature vehicle enterprise, Xiaokang has experience in automobile research and development, manufacturing, sales and service. The cooperation between the two parties has created a precedent in the industry and produced a lot of valuable experience. This model is also the development trend and future of the smart electric vehicle industry, and it has also achieved some success. Before Xiaokang was engaged in automobile and () cooperation, Xiaokang shares crossed the border into the field of micro-cars. Since we entered this industry in 2003, there were many friends, and now there are only three enterprises left in that year: Wuling, Changan and Xiaokang. This shows that we have experience in cooperation with other enterprises, and we also have a successful experience base. Xiaokang is a modern private enterprise with high efficiency. The cooperation with Huawei over the past year has also proved the success of an efficient and standardized private enterprise mechanism. We launched a new model in March last year, and everyone saw our M5 debut in December last year. I believe that the effect of cross-border cooperation will begin to be reflected in the first quarter of this year, and batch delivery will begin in March this year. We are very confident about the sales data in the second and fourth quarters.
The monthly sales target of the new energy automobile industry is over 10,000 yuan. We think this is the threshold sales volume of new energy vehicles in 2022, which is our goal, and the threshold sales volume will be higher in the future. At present, it usually takes a certain time for the sales of high-end electric vehicles to climb. We have full confidence and confidence in our products and channels, and hope to achieve the sales scale achieved by others in five or six years within two years.
Q: The delivery volume of SF5 last year was less than the market expectation. What did the company think?
A: Only about 8,000 SF5s were delivered in 2021, and the reason for the small delivery was mainly due to chip problems. The chip will affect our delivery mainly because our owner of SF5 is developed in the United States, so he uses more American electronic materials, which has been greatly affected.
Q: Can you tell us about the follow-up vehicle planning?
A: We have now launched the M5, and it is expected that a new large SUV will be launched at the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter in the middle of the year. I’ve been driving the M5 myself for some time, and I’m confident that it’s a car that can’t be separated once I get started. We are also developing a new large-size SUV, which will be released in 2023.
Q: What is the pace of the subsequent launch of pure electric vehicles?
A: There will be pure electric vehicles coming out this year. Because in 23 years, Shanghai’s extended journey can’t get a green card. Considering these market demands, we will have a pure electric version of M5.
Q: When will the M5 be officially delivered? What is the output scale?
A: There will be small batch delivery in February, and batch delivery will start in March. Wenjie M5 is mainly produced in Liangjiang Factory in Chongqing, which can produce 30 sets per hour, and its automation efficiency is still very high. This factory can produce 15,000 units a month. The models in the second half of the year will be produced in another factory in Chongqing, which will not affect the production capacity of M5.
Q: Will Huawei cooperate with other car companies?
A: Although it’s not up to us to decide who Huawei will cooperate with, our cooperation is already deep. As mentioned earlier, Xiaokang Co., Ltd. is a modern private enterprise, and its efficient and flexible mechanism is our advantage, so it is difficult for other manufacturers to reproduce it in a short time. Our cooperation is our common choice.
Q: Why is Huawei’s self-driving system not reflected in the M5? Will it be reflected in subsequent models?
A: Huawei’s autopilot is different from Tesla’s autopilot. Huawei’s auto-driving is vehicle-road coordination, which requires vehicle-road coordination. Without road coordination, the auto-driving of the car cannot be played out. Tesla’s auto-driving is self-adaptive auto-driving, and the road is only an aid. The contents of China’s road regulations on autonomous driving are still under study, and we also hope that China’s roads will be opened to autonomous driving as soon as possible. Auto-driving vehicle-road coordination is not only to ensure that my car does not hit the wall, but also to ensure that other people’s cars do not hit me. This high-order auto-driving technology of vehicle-road coordination is very advanced and needs time data verification. Our follow-up models will definitely have Huawei’s advanced autonomous driving.
Q: What do you think of the present integrated die casting technology? Will you consider using integrated die casting technology for any vehicle model in the future? Is there a die casting factory or die casting machine factory in communication?
A: It is expected that from the end of this year to the first half of next year, we will realize integrated die-casting body. Now it has entered the stage of comprehensive research and development. This technology will reduce the weight of the car body and increase the output. Because at present, the front section and the rear section are provided for welding, the technology will be integrated aluminum alloy die casting, which will greatly improve the production efficiency;
Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group Co., Ltd. is a manufacturing enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing, sales and service of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, powertrains and other automobile parts. The company currently has complete vehicle brands such as SERES, Dongfeng Scenery, Dongfeng Xiaokang, DFSK, Ruichi, etc. The main product pedigree includes SUV, MPV, mini-car and core parts. Among them, the whole vehicle products cover intelligent electric vehicles and fuel vehicles, and the core components include powertrain and three electric products with displacement from 1.5t to 2.0t..
Details of participating institutions are as follows:
Where is the difficulty in mass production of solid-state batteries？
Solid-state batteries not only have high safety and high energy density, but also have excellent "high and low temperature" performance. All kinds of advantages make people look forward to them, and they are regarded as the next generation of power batteries, and also the strategic commanding heights for countries to compete. However, at present, all three technical routes have corresponding basic shortcomings that need to be solved urgently, and the cost is also an insurmountable hurdle for enterprises.
Toyota Motor Corporation recently announced at the technical briefing that it has found good materials to commercialize solid-state batteries from 2027 to 2028 and put pure electric vehicles equipped with all-solid-state batteries on the market. However, because Toyota did not publish convincing technical details, it caused public opinion to question.
Solid-state batteries not only have high safety and high energy density, but also have excellent "high and low temperature" performance. All kinds of advantages make people look forward to them, and they are regarded as the next generation of power batteries, and also the strategic commanding heights for countries to compete. Thirty years ago, Oak Ridge National Laboratory claimed to have built a solid-state battery, but it is a pity that it has not been mass-produced so far. In the past two years, with the popularity of new energy vehicles around the world, many companies have reported the progress of mass production of solid-state batteries, but after the news was exposed, there was no more.
According to the material system, solid-state batteries can be divided into three technical routes. Japan and South Korea are betting on sulfide systems. In Europe, the main route is polymer, while in China, the main route is oxide. Among them, Japanese and Korean companies, represented by Toyota, Samsung SDI and Hitachi, have profound technology accumulation and obvious first-Mover advantage, and the trend of joint research and development is obvious. However, these three technical routes all have corresponding basic shortcomings that need to be solved urgently.
Specifically, sulfide electrolyte has poor air stability, and when it is exposed to air, it will produce toxic gas. At the same time, with the destruction of electrolyte structure and the attenuation of electrochemical performance, the synthesis, storage, transportation and post-treatment of sulfide electrolyte need to rely heavily on inert gas or drying chamber. At room temperature, the ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte is low, which makes the charging of polymer solid-state battery need to be completed in high temperature environment, which greatly limits its commercialization. Most oxide electrolytes have wider electrochemical stability "window" and better oxidation stability, but in order to ensure good interface contact between rigid oxide electrolytes and cathode materials, it is often necessary to sinter at high temperature, otherwise it will lead to serious interface chemical side reactions. In addition, some oxide electrolytes also have the problem of lithium dendrite growth.
At the same time, cost is also a difficult hurdle for enterprises to overcome. At present, the cost of semi-solid battery is much higher than that of commercialized liquid battery. According to industry research and calculation, taking NCM811 liquid battery and NCM811 semi-solid battery as examples, the cost of semi-solid battery increases by about 80% compared with that of liquid battery. Among them, the cost of solid electrolyte is the main new cost and the main cost in semi-solid battery, accounting for about 50%. Due to the change of electrolyte material, production process and lack of experience in product quality control, the cost of all-solid battery is higher than that of semi-solid battery.
There are five main indicators to measure whether a power battery can be mass-produced, namely, energy density, charge-discharge rate performance, cost, safety and cycle life. The laboratory research results of power batteries generally make a major breakthrough in one or several indicators at a certain stage, and it is possible to mass-produce them only when they meet the requirements of five indicators. In other words, as far as the current research and development progress of major enterprises is concerned, solid-state batteries seem to be "windy", but in fact they are "long and long", and the mass production is still quite difficult.
Compared with structural innovation, the improvement of battery materials is slower and indeed more difficult. However, being difficult does not mean not doing it. We often say that it is reasonable to do the "difficult and correct thing". From the perspective of technological change, the technological innovation of power battery has played a major role in promoting the development of automobile electrification. The reason why China’s new energy automobile industry can lead the world is that we have surpassed the power battery, and a global power battery giant like Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited was born.
In the industrial transformation driven by the goal of "double carbon", the innovation of power battery has become the key to strengthen the competition level of new energy vehicles, build the national industrial competitiveness and stabilize the competitive advantage of enterprises. Whether it is the first country or the catch-up country of new energy vehicles, or the main enterprises of the power battery chain, they are all aiming at new technologies and laying out solid-state batteries. This is both a great challenge and a rare opportunity. Super-large-scale market advantage, leading industry-wide competitiveness and rising innovation make China more qualified to win the strategic commanding heights of power batteries.
Why is Extreme Yue 01 more sincere than Zhiji LS6？
Extreme Yue 01 was officially listed, with an official price of 249,900. After seeing this price, many people will think that Yuejie 01 is more expensive than Zhiji LS6 and Tucki G6. Especially after Extreme Vietnam officially announced that it would buy out 19,900 high-end smart drivers, it undoubtedly aggravated the wait-and-see mood of users, because the smart driver LS6 next door has come standard, and the smart driver of Tucki G6 does not need to spend money. Suddenly, Extreme Yue 01 was labeled as "low intelligence-price ratio".
This "strategic flicker" algorithm not only ignores the software and hardware advantages of the ultra-Yue 01 in intelligent driving and intelligent driving, but also ignores the small order rights of the ultra-Yue 01 and the car purchase rights of 70,000 yuan.
One question: What are the comprehensive rights and interests provided by Extreme Yue 01? Compared with Zhiji LS6 and Tucki G6, where are the "intelligent price ratio" and "intelligent driving ratio" of Extreme Yue 01?
In fact, if all kinds of rights and interests are added up, Extreme Yue 01 is only more expensive than Zhiji LS6 in 1000 yuan, and it can also enjoy the buyout high-level intelligent driving service. Coupled with Qualcomm’s new generation 8295 chip+dual NVIDIA Orin chip and 35.6-inch 6K integrated screen, isn’t this configuration and price fragrant?
In terms of basic space, there is little difference between Ji Yue 01 and Zhi Ji LS6. Objectively speaking, Zhiji LS6 is a little taller and has the typical height of a traditional SUV. The extreme crossing 01 is a little lower and wider, belonging to the sports SUV figure. The biggest difference is that the wheelbase of Extreme Yue 01 reaches 3000mm, which is 50mm larger than that of Zhiji LS6 2950mm, which means that the space of Extreme Yue is a little bigger. The trunk volume of Zhiji LS6 is 596L, which can be expanded to 1571L after the rear seat is put down, while the data of Extreme Yue 01 are 710L and 2161L respectively.
On the other hand, in terms of basic three electrical properties, the total power of the front and rear motors of Extreme Yue 01 is 400kW, while that of Zhiji LS6 is 396kW, and the power is smaller. In the zero-hundred-kilometer acceleration, the polar crossing was accelerated for 3.8 seconds, while Zhiji LS6 was accelerated for 3.48 seconds. The two models have won and lost each other, but the bigger gap is also reflected in the CDC shock absorber.
The technical characteristics of CDC shock absorber are that it can realize millisecond monitoring and response ability, and can automatically adjust the suspension damping according to the road conditions. When the road conditions are good at high speed, the suspension will automatically harden and improve handling. In poor road conditions such as suburbs, the suspension automatically softens, improving comfort. The value of this configuration is far more direct and tangible than accelerating by a few tenths of a second.
The first question: directly buy the lowest-equipped model, not choose smart driving, lose money?
The starting price of Extreme Yue 01 is 249,900 yuan, and you can enjoy a deposit of 5,000 yuan to get a discount of 10,000 yuan, as well as a reward of 5,000 yuan for the recommended car purchase. The total discount is 10,000 yuan. That’s not counting. If the user participates in the pre-sale (small reservation) before October 27th, he/she will also enjoy an additional 10 times expansion bonus of 1,000 yuan, which can reach 10,000 yuan. In other words, it is equivalent to a discount of 19,000 yuan, and only 230,900 yuan can win the ultra-01 low-profile version. If the user happens to be a Tesla owner, then on the basis of 230,900 yuan, 20,000 yuan can be reduced, which is 228,900 yuan.
Extreme Yue 01 also provides an optional fund of 15,000 yuan, which can be used to deduct any optional configuration. You can choose a comfortable suit with interior (including Nappa leather seat, massage and ventilation of main and auxiliary seats, suede roof, audio system of unit 18, and car fragrance system), or you can choose an endurance upgrade package or a smart driving package of 19,000 yuan, which will be discussed later.
In addition, Extreme Yue 01 provides lifelong vehicle/three-electricity warranty, lifelong road rescue, free home charging or a certain amount of free charging for 2 years, and a 6-month free subscription to the advanced intelligent assisted driving function.
Frankly speaking, the configuration of the entry-level model of Extreme Yue 01 has reached the configuration of the flagship model. Compared with Zhiji LS6, the Extreme Yue 01 is only 1000 yuan more expensive, but it has more drivers’ and drivers’ seat massage, suede roof, headrest audio, fragrance system, four electric doors, three-zone independent air conditioning, fatigue detection, free home charging or two-year free charging, lifetime warranty of the whole vehicle, three batteries and electricity, brand-new 8295 chips from Qualcomm+two Orin X chips from NVIDIA, and 35.6 inches without splicing.
The comfortable package of the Extreme Yue 01 (equipped with Nappa leather/ventilation of two seats of the main driver and the auxiliary driver+electric massage/equipped with 18 speakers/car fragrance including the whole car’s suede roof/aluminum door trim/headrest sound of the main driver) is worth about 15,000 yuan.
Life-long vehicle, three-power warranty and life-long road rescue are worth about 8,000 yuan. Free home filling pile or 2 years free charging, worth 7500 yuan. These are sent directly to the user when placing an order. The extra configuration of the ultra-01 has been very affordable.
As for Zhiji LS6, intelligent driving comes standard. There are two sides to this matter. Zhiji LS6 intelligent driving belongs to castrated version, and it is equipped with a single Orin chip. Compared with the two Orin chips of Extreme Yue 01, the computing power of Zhiji LS6 is only 254TOPS, which is equivalent to half.
The high-level intelligent driving of Extreme Yue 01 has rich functions, and ROBO Drive Max can be used when picking up the car, and there is no need to wait for the subsequent OTA. At present, ROBO Drive Max includes: point-to-point navigation assistance PPA+ parking service AVP+ROBO Drive full function.
Even if you don’t buy ROBO Drive Max, you will get a free 6-month experience. In addition, ROBO Drive is equivalent to a rich ADSD assisted driving function, which is standard and free of charge.
Point-to-point pilot-assisted PPA, with high-order intelligent driving assistance capability covering high-speed and urban scenes. When PPA is started, it can complete a series of functional scenes such as autonomous lane change overtaking, getting on and off ramps, obstacle avoidance in and between lanes at high speed and overhead. In urban roads, zebra crossings and traffic lights can be accurately identified, and driving tasks such as courtesy to pedestrians, unprotected left turn and avoiding non-motor vehicles can be completed.
Extreme Yue 01 has achieved the world’s first voice control/parking support outside the vehicle. Parking service AVP can not only identify various types and complex parking spaces, but also support the distance of up to 2 kilometers. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor parking lots, and supports the parking of any parking space on the same floor to the entrance and exit of the parking lot.
ROBO Drive includes many intelligent driving functions, such as lane keeping, automatic parking assistance, collision warning, lane departure warning, etc., which realizes the complete opening of cabin driving and supports voice-controlled intelligent driving, such as adjusting cruising speed, changing lanes and choosing parking spaces. At present, ROBO Drive functions are all standard, and now it covers the whole country, the whole city and the whole road, and it is free.
The second question: it costs 19,900 yuan to buy out the smart car. If you choose smart car, will you lose money?
Then, discuss whether it is worthwhile to drive intelligently. Many people see that it costs 19,900 yuan to buy out the smart car. Isn’t the car price calculated to be 249,900 yuan+19,900 yuan = 269,800 yuan? This algorithm does not take into account the car purchase rights provided by Extreme Yue 01, and belongs to a typical "strategic flicker" algorithm.
First of all, it’s true that the buyout of smart driving costs 19,900 yuan. Deduction with the optional fund of 15,000 yuan, only 4,900 yuan is needed to buy out the high-level intelligent driving. That is to say, the price of Extreme Yue 01 after buyout is 230,900 yuan+4,900 yuan = 235,800 yuan.
In this way, the price of Extreme Yue 01 after buying out Zhijia is less than 5,000 yuan more expensive than Zhiji LS6. However, compared with Zhiji LS6, Extreme Yue 01 has more free home-filled piles or two-year free charging, lifetime warranty for the whole vehicle and three electric appliances, brand-new 8295 chip from Qualcomm +2 pieces of Orin X from NVIDIA, four electric doors, fatigue detection, and a 35.6-inch 6K integrated screen without splicing. The value of these configurations is enough to cover three 5,000 yuan.
Imagine how much money can be saved when the vehicle is used for 3-5 years. When selling an old car for a new one, how much can the whole car and the three-power lifetime warranty increase the value of the car?
Talking about Qualcomm 8295 chip, this fast chip uses dual NPU, and the AI computing power is 8 times that of Qualcomm 8155, and 2 times that of the current flagship mobile phone Qualcomm 8GEN2 chip. This performance is enough to guarantee life-long use without card. Let’s look at the current mainstream 8155. Many cars have frequent interactive experiences when they are in a new car state. Referring to the problem that the Android system uses more cards, the model with 8155 will only use more cards later.
In the future, when you want to sell a deadly smart car, how much is its value? Cars are bulky items with low replacement frequency, so whether the long-term value of smart cars should be reasonably evaluated.
Finally, discuss the difference between extreme wisdom and wisdom.
First of all, the ultra-high-level intelligent driving is richer in function than the intelligent driving, and there are more AVP parking service and voice parking outside the car.
Secondly, the ultra-high-level intelligent driving is out of the box, and it can be used directly without waiting, which belongs to "buy early and enjoy early". The intelligent driving of Zhiji LS6 needs to wait for opening, which belongs to "buy early and wait early". As for when it will be opened, it depends on the official rhythm. Now that the wisdom is on fire, whether to choose to use it out of the box or wait for futures is a question that needs careful consideration.
To put it simply, if you want to experience the sense of science and technology of the intelligent cockpit and the more advanced interactive experience, Extreme Yue 01 not only gives the Qualcomm 8295 chip, but also gives the 35.6-inch ultra-clear 6K real integrated screen, as well as more scientific and technological configuration and two-year free charging, which promotes the experience of the intelligent cockpit to a higher dimension. If you want to experience intelligent driving, Extreme Yue 01 can give an out-of-the-box intelligent driving experience. As for Zhiji LS6, although intelligent driving is standard, it needs to wait.

On Guangzhou Automobile Science and Technology Day, the solid-state battery that will not spontaneously ignite was officially released!
Earlier, Guangzhou Automobile held the 2024 Guangzhou Automobile Science and Technology Day, and released the unmanned pure visual intelligent driving system and the large-capacity all-solid-state power battery, both of which are the leading technologies in China.
No-graph pure vision intelligent driving system
We all know that most of the intelligent driving systems on the market at present are based on high-precision maps, but one problem with high-precision maps is that they are slow to update and have poor adaptability to complex road conditions such as sudden road repairs.
The intelligent driving system without map and pure vision is like giving a car "eyes", completely getting rid of the dependence on high-precision maps and perceiving the world like a human being. There is no complicated lidar, and a more concise and low-cost hardware system is used to realize a wider range of intelligent driving experience. At the same time, the intelligent driving system without map and pure vision also has the ability of continuous improvement and self-improvement and progress.
However, in my opinion, there are still limitations in the unmanned pure vision intelligent driving system. For example, in a thunderstorm with low visibility, or in the face of such an emergency as a "ghost probe", the pure vision scheme has the same visual blind spot as the human eye. Therefore, I personally guess that in the future, "multi-sensor fusion technology" and "map-free pure vision technology" will coexist, and they will not replace each other.
The unmanned pure vision intelligent driving system will be installed on the family car at a lower cost, so that the users of the family car can also have high-level intelligent driving, while the high-end models are still lidar+vision solutions. This technology will be officially loaded in 2026.
Large-capacity all-solid-state power battery
In addition to the unmanned visual intelligent driving system, another black technology is all-solid-state power battery. At present, the expected loading time of all-solid-state power battery in the industry is in 2030, and GAC announced that they plan to complete the loading of all-solid-state power battery in 2026, which is much faster than the industry standard.
So what are the advantages of all-solid-state power batteries? Its biggest advantage is that it increases the energy density of the battery and reduces the risk of spontaneous combustion.
According to the official information, the negative electrode adopts the third generation sponge silicon negative plate technology, that is, the "silicon" material, while the positive electrode adopts the solid-state positive electrode technology with high surface capacity, but the electrolyte that everyone is very concerned about has not been announced.
The overall energy density can reach more than 400Wh/kg, which is not particularly high. After all, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited has released a battery with a single energy density as high as 500Wh/kg before. Personally, it is expected that GAC will deliberately reduce the energy density for safety reasons.
According to the official data, the all-solid-state power battery of GAC does not explode in the hot box test at 200°C, and can maintain stable performance under extreme conditions such as-78°C dry ice and 90°C high temperature.
The announcement of these two technologies represents that GAC is continuing to deepen their technical strategy and demonstrates the strong R&D and innovation capabilities of GAC Group. However, the actual performance will not be known until the actual loading has been tried.
