We all say that autumn is the harvest season, and just the day after beginning of autumn, two "fruits" landed in the car circle. They are Aouita 11/011 created by the combination of Changan, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited "CHN", among which there are three versions of Aouita 11, and the price range is 349,900 to 409,900 yuan. The delivery time is December 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. The price of "Gaoding" 500 sets of limited edition Aouita 011 is 600,000 yuan, and delivery began in December 2022.
At the same time of announcing the selling price, Aouita Science and Technology also announced the ordering rights of two models, among which Aouita 11 will enjoy the five-year or 120,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, the eight-year or 160,000-kilometer three-electricity warranty, 10-year unlimited mileage free road rescue, smart home pile filling or one-time conversion of 3000-degree public charging quota.
On this basis, users who subscribe to Aouita 011 can enjoy more exclusive rights and interests, such as exclusive rights and interests of Aouita Zero Club, giving MMW co-branded customized suits, 3000-degree public charging quota every year, giving 10G cockpit entertainment traffic and basic traffic of car networking every month.
■ SEV of "juvenile maturity"
Although Aouita Science and Technology has not been established for a long time, it can be regarded as "small fresh meat" among the "new forces", but its first two models are extremely mature, which is quite a bit "young and mature".
Of course, this is inseparable from the "bloodline" blessing brought by the "CHN" combination. Changan Automobile will be empowered in vehicle integration and manufacturing, and Huawei can provide the most advanced technology in both intelligence and electrification; Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, on the other hand, used battery technology to make Aouita 11/011 have a good "foundation", so that all "martial arts" can give full play to their skills.
Therefore, on the basis of the new generation of intelligent electric vehicle technology platform "CHN", Aouita 11/011 is equipped with DriveONE dual motors with precise and intelligent oil cooling technology, with a maximum power of 425kW, a peak torque of 650Nm, and the fastest acceleration of 100 kilometers only takes 3.98 s; Equipped with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s brand-new CTP ternary lithium battery pack, it has two endurance capacities of 555km and 680km under CLTC working conditions, and at the same time, it is matched with a 750V high-voltage electric platform. The maximum charging power can reach 240kW, and the battery life can be increased by 200km after charging for 10 minutes.
In terms of intelligence, Aouita 11/011 installed a 10.25-inch driver and passenger display screen and a 15.6-inch full HD floating central touch screen in the car. These screens are in-vehicle applications and functions jointly built by the R&D team of Aouita and Huawei based on the Harmony OS operating system.
In addition, Aouita 11/011 is equipped with AVATRANS intelligent navigation system, which has 34 sensor hardware including three semi-solid laser radars and a 400TOPS high computing power software platform, so that vehicles can have high intelligent driving assistance ability in highway sections, urban sections and parking scenes.
Wang Jun, the chief operating officer of BU, Huawei’s smart car solution, and the president of the smart driving product line, once explained to us one of the subtleties of this set of smart driving assistance, that is, knowing China Road better. "In fact, it is the (driving) rules of China, but Shanghai and Shenzhen are different. Originally, pedestrians were not allowed in Shanghai, so people who came up from the sidewalk had to leave quickly, while Shenzhen had to yield to pedestrians, so the requirements for cars (driving assistance functions) were different. I know more about China Road, like tidal lane, and the identification of (special) traffic lights. "
In addition to the above, Aouita 11/011 is also equipped with high-power mobile phone wireless charging, and the rear central multifunctional armrest has a functional touch panel, a 1.83mⅩ1.33m segmented panoramic skylight, an intelligent fragrance system and an advanced sound system tuned by a professional team. In the cockpit environment, Aouita 11/011 used antibacterial materials on the interior cladding, and the automatic air purification function equipped with CN95 air conditioning filter element helped to purify the air.
With these "inner shows", Aouita 11/011 will have a more recognizable "face value". This is most obvious in appearance, and the design is very avant-garde. Only the headlight combination named "Curvature Headlights", plus the slightly angular front hatch cover and shuttle-shaped front head are used to shape the front face, which adds a little mystery to the high cold.
As for the body design, the axle length ratio of Aouita 11/011 is 0.61, which is very close to the golden section ratio of 0.618. This design not only makes the new car look more slender, but also makes the car more spacious.
For this ratio, Tan Benhong, Chairman and CEO of Aouita Science and Technology, is very proud. He said at the media communication meeting held earlier, "Every model actually wants to reach the golden ratio of 0.618, but it may not be possible to get it, because many times it is necessary to compromise on the engineering or design level, but when designing Aouita 11, we almost did not compromise."
In addition, the aspect ratio of the new car is 1.23, and the wheel height ratio is 0.481. These parameters make the new car very dynamic whether viewed from the side or from the front and rear.
In the rear part, Aouita has a rear windshield similar to the ship’s porthole on November 11, 2011. In addition, it has a slip-back shape, through taillights and a tail with automatic lifting function, which looks like a strong mecha wind.
There are six color schemes for the body of Aouita 11, namely, Muhong, Obsidian Grey, Haobai, Plain White, Fog Green and Ink Grey, which allow car owners to show their personality through different colors.
In addition, Aouita 011 adopts the black preferred by co-designer Matthew M. Williams, which can present "colorful black" in different lighting environments, further increasing the rhythm and mystery of Aouita 011.
In the interior part, in addition to the three conspicuous display screens, Aouita 11/011 adopts a warm embracing design, and there is also an artistic "Vortex emotional vortex" behind the suspended central control panel, and this oval two-color three-frame directional blue further enhances the scientific and technological texture of the car.
In terms of color matching, there are two schemes for the interior of Aouita 11. Among them, the "blue gray" color matching (as shown above) is fresh and capable, with the texture of marble or vast salt lake, which can make people calm down; The color scheme of "Burgundy Red" makes the car have an elegant and dynamic atmosphere, which further magnifies the driving pleasure and audio-visual enjoyment.
The interior color scheme of Aouita 011, like its appearance, is black, which is MMW’s favorite color, which not only keeps the theme of this "Gaoding" model consistent, but also further demonstrates the owner’s personality proposition and fashion taste.
In the sports circle, we usually call these "gifted" athletes "geniuses". They are often the focus of everyone’s attention, and everyone has higher expectations for their achievements and "worth". However, it is not easy to train a "talented" athlete. Even a strong athlete’s "pedigree" in the family does not necessarily work. Many "second generation stars" do not show their parents’ athletic talent.
However, in the automobile circle, the role of "pedigree" may be more reliable. After all, cars are made up of different spare parts and software systems. As long as the "CHN" combination can play a normal level, Aouita 11/011 will be an intelligent electric vehicle with high quality and potential.
■ Can Aouita 11/011 fulfill its talent?
So it is such a "genius" player who can "cash his talent" in the pure electric SUV market? Next, we try to compare several luxury brand models of the same level with Aouita 11.
First of all, in terms of size, we can see that the "three-dimensional" and wheelbase of Aouita 11 are not the best among the four models, but I think this is because the positioning of Aouita 11 is more inclined to the coupe crossover SUV, and the posture of the car body needs to be more sporty, so it will be extreme, such as the aspect ratio of 0.61 mentioned earlier, which makes it lower and the drag coefficient is lower.
At the same time, although the wheelbase of Aouita 11 is not the longest, it is second only to LYRIQ Ruige, which is one size larger. That is to say, Aouita 11 can get more spacious interior space under relatively compact conditions.
In terms of power, although the power system parameters of Aouita 11 are not the most prominent, the acceleration time of its four-wheel drive version is only 0.08s slower than that of Weilai ES7, which is the second fastest among the four models. In addition, its battery density is very high, and the density of 90-degree battery pack is even close to that of Weilai ES7′ s 100-degree battery pack, which also makes the endurance of Aouita 11 excellent.
In terms of configuration, let’s look at the driver assistance system with relatively high cost. Aouita 11 has 34 sensors in all kinds of driver assistance hardware, which is five more than the second-place Weilai ES7, mainly because of the more laser radars and cameras.
Of course, in addition to the quality of the vehicle itself, its supporting services also determine whether it is competitive enough. According to Tan Benhong, Aouita Science and Technology has cooperated with bp to jointly promote the layout of 240kW high-voltage charging network, and it is estimated that 100 high-voltage charging stations will be built in 19 cities by the end of 2023. He also asked everyone not to worry about the quantity problem. "We must see our (fast charging) ability, and we can basically complete the charging work in 15 minutes. Of course, we will still set the number of charging stations according to the demand."
■ State Review
In the automobile industry, "strong" alliance is still relatively common. In the past, Chinese and foreign brands set up joint ventures, and now there are also leading companies in different fields to open up new business hand in hand. However, there is only one industry giant like Aouita Science and Technology, which is "strong and powerful" and has such a deep cooperation. Therefore, I am still very optimistic about the prospect of Aouita Science and Technology, a new force in making cars.
As for Aouita 11 and 011, they have a good foundation and overall quality. They are products developed by "CHN" combination, and I think they can become very competitive models in the medium or large-sized pure electric SUV market.
However, in some aspects, this car is set to be younger, more personalized, and consumers with unique fashion tastes, especially in terms of appearance, so it may be a little niche in the market. If Aouita Science and Technology wants to make new cars sell better, it should enhance consumers’ cognition and goodwill from the perspective of intelligence and high value.
