At this year's Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show, AITO M5 (configuration | inquiry) intelligent driving version officially started national delivery, compared with the previous version, this M5 intelligent driving version has been greatly upgraded in terms of focusing on intelligent assisted driving and in-car configuration, what are the specific improvements? Let's find out together.
Emphasis added:
1. The first model equipped with a high-end intelligent driver assistance solution (ADS 2.0);
2. Equipped with laser, millimeter-wave radar, machine vision and ultrasonic fusion perception system, the hardware level is top-notch;
3. Equipped with HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit 3.0;
4. HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive range extender platform, the chassis is made of sufficient materials, and it adopts all aluminum alloy;
5. The pure electric range of the extended version has been increased to 255km, and when full fuel and full charge, the four-wheel drive version has a range of 1265km in CLTC and 1425km in the rear-drive version CLTC.
Let's take a look at the AITO M5 Smart Drive EV model, which still continues the family design style, with a fully enclosed front face shape, the bottom grille retains the open style, and there is a ventilation slot on each side to cool the brakes.
The headlamp style is also easier to remember, like two inverted "hooks", and the LED light source with built-in independent lenses ensures sufficient lighting intensity. What is more eye-catching is a new lidar on the roof, which has a sense of déjà vu of "long horns on the head". This is also the design method commonly adopted by many new force models. Considering the more expensive repair costs after possible damage, this part is more safe.
Turning to the side of the body, the AITO M5 Smart Drive EV model has a length, width and height of 4785/1930/1620mm, and the wheelbase is still 2880mm. From the side, the model is not burly, and it looks very compact and capable. The roof line curves smoothly and blends decently with the rear. The side waist line is also not particularly prominent, and it generally maintains a relatively rounded feeling. Telescopic door handles and cameras on the front fenders are standard. The fully enclosed low drag hub pattern is also particularly eye-catching, which can further reduce the drag coefficient. The tyres are Pirelli P ZERO, which is 255/45 R20.
The rear of the AITO M5 Smart Drive EV model has a wide and thick rear vision, especially the rear of the C-pillar, and the bulge in the upper part of the rear fenders is more obvious, with a strong power element. The through-type taillights are also used by everyone, relatively speaking, the tail is more moderate, without too many bells and whistles, but it is also less characteristic and slightly mediocre. However, the designers still ingeniously integrated the tailgate switch button with the rear wiper, and it really took some time to find it for the first time.
The cockpit in the car conveys a strong home style in terms of color, materials and workmanship. One thing to say, the taste control in the car is still good. Overall, the cockpit adopts a simple design style, a large screen with first-class display effect and a simple central control design, which brings a more comfortable experience to the driver and passengers.
The seats are relatively wide and wrap well. At the same time, all four seats in the car are heated, and the front row is also equipped with ventilation. Speakers are also pre-embedded in the main driver's headrest, especially when navigating, with clearer audible alerts.
LCD instrument cluster and large central control screen are indispensable for an intelligent model. Although it is not so exaggerated in size and does not make a cool linkage screen, the display effect is absolutely first-class and has a silky operation experience. In fact, for the understanding of this screen, you can fully see it as a large screen Huawei mobile phone, in addition to ensuring the display effect, operation experience, but also has the basic control of the vehicle and so on. Here we have to mention the HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit 3.0, on the basis of maintaining a number of interconnections, once again improve the spatial audio "on the car" for the first time, reconstructing the immersive listening experience of the cockpit.
For the first time, voice vehicle control adopts Huawei's self-developed device-cloud collaboration architecture to realize continuous dialogue, visible and talkative, and active recommendation of voice assistants. Xiaoyi voice assistant launched multi-mode adaptive technology, for speech speed, voice, text, multi-dimensional comprehensive judgment of user instructions, better realize the experience of "should be fast, wait and wait" experience, user quick stop command response, slow stop command is not interrupted.
In addition, in order to bring a better listening experience, Huawei Music and HUAWEI SOUND® carried out end-to-end deep adaptation and tuning, using 19 speakers in the vehicle to create a balanced sound field, and virtually reconstructed the sound layout of a high-end recording studio.
At the same time, based on the data interaction of the obtained spatial audio parameters and the HarmonyOS system, through the spatial rendering algorithm, customized on-board spatial audio effects are provided, and the motion trajectories of different sounds are rendered in real time based on the differences in the position of the occupants in the car, so that the spatial sense of music is balanced and just right, ensuring that the occupants in each seat can hear the most realistic sound restoration.
Since it is called the intelligent driving version, it can be seen that this M5 has unique features in intelligent driving assistance. The first is the enhancement of perception capabilities, equipped with 1 overhead lidar, 3 millimeter wave radars, 11 high-definition cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars. Among them, the 126-line lidar can achieve more accurate ranging, and the forward-looking binocular camera pixel reaches 800W. In addition, the millimeter-wave radar adopts a new glass antenna technology, equipped with 4 MIMO antennas, and the signal is increased by at least 3dB.
Second, it can identify more obstacles. Based on the fusion perception BEV (bird's eye view) network to identify whitelisted obstacles such as cars and people, the industry's first GOD (General Obstacle Detection) network can identify a variety of objects outside the general obstacle whitelist.
In addition, it can effectively solve the most common types of driving scene problems, such as encountering difficult road conditions in complex scenes where people and vehicles are mixed; When merging into and exiting the ramp, predict the situation of overtaking the right vehicle and the left vehicle coming from the rear; When encountering a slow-moving alien car in front of you, we will first reduce the speed to predict it, etc. It can solve more than 70% of the interactive scene takeover problems and shorten the passage time by 40%.
Of course, it also has a super parking system, based on multi-sensor fusion perception, can identify unmarked parking spaces, and support various complex special-shaped parking spaces such as broken roads and extremely narrow parking spaces. Automatically and silently search for 360° parking spaces outside the car when parking, and the parking spaces can be displayed in real time on the dashboard.
The rear seats are also equipped with MagLink connectors, 27W fast charging, ultrasonic position recognition, magnetic child lock anti-pinch hand and 25KG mounting capacity. It can also maximize the expansion of ecological devices, such as Huawei PAD, which links multiple devices around the cockpit to build a senseless PAD boarding scene, and switch between entertainment, office, and learning at any time. In order to achieve a more extreme silent experience, it is also equipped with front and rear double-laminated acoustic glass, using 3M acoustic pads to acoustically package the vehicle, and in software, the intelligent electric drive system control algorithm is used to effectively suppress the noise of the power system during operation.
This is only a static display, so here I will only introduce you to the chassis hardware performance of this AITO M5 intelligent driving version EV model, using an all-aluminum alloy chassis, equipped with front double wishbone + rear multi-link independent suspension. It is also equipped with the HUAWEI DATS® system, a dynamic adaptive torque system, jointly developed by Cialis Automotive and Huawei.
In terms of power, the M5 intelligent driving version adopts a combination of front AC asynchronous motor + rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, and under CLTC working conditions, the range of the pure electric intelligent driving rear-drive version is 602km, and the range of the four-wheel drive version is 534km. In addition, it also supports V2L reverse charging, and with the on-board charger OBC technology, the power of reverse charging can reach 3500W, which meets the needs of outdoor camping.
In addition to the all-electric EV version, there is also an extended range version of the smart driving version. Let's take a brief look.
The exterior is basically the same as the EV version, but the front design is different. Thanks to the range extender, the center mesh on the front face maintains a large opening to provide better heat dissipation and air intake, and the grille adopts horizontal chrome trim, and the overall style is still simple. The style of the wheels is no longer fully enclosed, this set is more sporty, and the tire specifications are consistent. The AITO M5 has a length, width and height of 4770/1930/1625mm, which is slightly different from the EV version in length and height, and the wheelbase is still 2880mm.
In terms of interior, the two cars can also be said to be the same, like twin brothers. The display content of the LCD instrument cluster is different, and the extended-range version will have an additional display of fuel consumption. As for the basic hardware configuration, vehicle system, comfort and entertainment configuration, the two are completely consistent.
In terms of battery life, which consumers are more concerned about, AITO M5 rear-drive intelligent driving version CLTC pure electric range of 255km, comprehensive range of 1425km; The four-wheel drive intelligent driving version of CLTC has a pure electric range of 230km and a comprehensive range of 1265km.
In terms of basic hardware, derived from the HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive range extender platform, the front axle is equipped with an AC asynchronous motor, the rear axle is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, the total power of the four-wheel drive version is 365kW, and the acceleration from 0-100km/h reaches 4 seconds. It is equipped with a 1.5T all-aluminum four-cylinder range extender 4.0 specially designed for range extender systems, with the highest compression ratio of 15:1, thermal efficiency of 41%, and maximumpowergeneration efficiency of 3.2kW·h/L. If you are more concerned about the performance of cruising range and can run without scruples, then this oily and electric extended range version model is your best choice.
Conclusion:Today is limited to static experience of these two cars, many dynamic parts, including the most concerned urban road driving assistance function performance can not be experienced and displayed, of course, including the recognition and command execution of smart parking. However, as far as the performance of the vehicle system is concerned, the overall performance is still high-level, rich in functions, but also brings a more intelligent experience. In particular, the seamless connection with Huawei mobile phones and other products, almost no barriers to use, and the perfect transition of various functions to the car terminal, which is very friendly to many people. In summary, AITO M5 intelligent driving version highlights high-end intelligent driving assistance and configuration improvement, if you want to say what are the shortcomings, the rear space hopes to be more spacious, the shape is a little conservative, maybe it can be more radical.
