Design-the design concept of "balanced aesthetics"? With "7" as the core element?
As the product of joint efforts of GAC and Weilai, GAC Weilai 007 inherited their DNA in design to a greater or lesser extent, so when we first saw the real car, we always felt deja vu, and "the most familiar stranger" became our first impression of it. But with the deepening of contact, we have a new feeling-the new car takes "balanced aesthetics" as the design concept and "7" as the core element, creating a unique recognition and imprint.
The front face adopts the common closed shape of electric vehicles, and the concept of "balance aesthetics" and "7" elements are also fully reflected. For example, the decorative lines running through the front face are slender, and the Guangzhou Automobile Weilai logo is arranged in the center above. Symmetrical modeling pays attention to the sense of balance, which conforms to the aesthetics of Chinese people; The curved LED daytime running light is undoubtedly the most direct embodiment of the "7" element, and the split low beam and the front fog light with large side cheeks bring unique recognition.
The lower grille retains the traditional ventilation grille, and the full-speed adaptive cruise radar module is configured under the license plate, and the driving assistance reaches L2 level. In terms of details, you can see the red and white decoration with "C+" on the left (shown in the red box), which means "caring+". This is the unique star emblem of the first 10000 users, which shows the care of GAC Weilai for users.
When we came to the side of the car body, the feeling of deja vu reappeared, and we immediately thought of Guangzhou Automobile New Energy Aion? LX. In fact, Guangzhou Automobile Weilai 007 is a model born out of the former, which can also be regarded as Aion? It is not surprising that LX's sister models all have similar side shapes.
The waistline extends from the fender to the taillights, and the wiring is smooth as water. The hidden door handle is reserved, and the key will automatically pop up when it approaches, which enhances the sense of ceremony and convenience. Of course, this is also a small detail to reduce the drag coefficient. In addition, the D-pillar reduces the wind resistance through a large inclination angle, without the heavy feeling of a traditional SUV. At the same time, it also creates a suspended roof effect through blackened painting of each column and privacy glass in the back row.
The body size is 4879/ 1937/ 1680mm, and the wheelbase is 29 19mm. It is positioned in a medium-sized SUV. With Aion? Compared with LX, the wheelbase of Guangzhou Automobile Weilai 007 is only 1mm, but the length is increased by a lot, which is 93 mm At the same time, compared with other competing products at the same level, Guangzhou Automobile Weilai 007 has outstanding geometric advantages and strong sense of weight.
The exterior rearview mirror is the same color as the car body, round and integrated with LED side turn signal and side camera. This car has a 360 panoramic image. Functionally, it also supports electric adjustment, folding, memory, heating, reversing, automatic folding and automatic anti-glare, which is quite perfect. A flying wing chrome-plated strip is added at the joint between the fender and the door to enhance the sense of grade.
Except for entry-level models, the overall configuration specifications are 245/50? R20' s front and rear wheels and five-spoke two-color wheels have unique shapes, from which we can see the element of "7". Does the tire meet Goodyear's high-efficiency grip? SUV series, focusing on handling and quietness.
The tail shape is more sporty. First, the tail window has a large inclination. Secondly, the top is equipped with a large spoiler, and the center is hollow. Then there is a small tail with a hole in the lower part of the tail window. This series of operations are aimed at optimizing air resistance and reducing wind resistance. LED taillights are also the highlight of the tail. The "7"-shaped light bar echoes the front LED daytime running light, and the transverse front extension is added, so that the taillight can present the "7"-shaped element from the side and the rear, which brings high recognition.
At the lower right of the tail, the name of model -007 is marked conspicuously. According to the manufacturer, this is also related to the concept of balanced design. Seven days is a week, representing balance and cycle. Of course, "007" itself is a household name. The "C+" star emblem also appeared at the rear of the car, which echoed the front face and improved the recognition of the rear of the car.
The fast charging and slow charging interfaces are arranged at the right rear of the car body, and the integrated layout is more convenient and practical. The left side is fast charging, and the charging time is 0.58 hours; The right side is slow charging, and the charging time is 8 hours.
Car layout-fashion three-screen "7" shape? Small canned robot enhances interactive experience
For the new forces making cars, the carriage is a space for designers to exert their imagination. Compared with sister model Aion? LX, GAC Weilai 007 has three significant changes. One is to add another screen below the double screen to form a three-screen shape; Second, there is a partition between the bar and the center console to create a larger storage opening; Third, Xiao Can, the intelligent navigator on the center console, is similar to the NOMI robot of Weilai. It has the functions of real and natural conversation, taking photos and even online upgrading, and can be integrated with the children in the back row at any time.
The dual-spoke multi-function steering wheel is wrapped in leather as standard, and its size and grip diameter are very in line with the body shape of Chinese people, which can get a fuller grip and a more delicate touch. There is an adaptive cruise function button on the right side of the transverse spokes, and a camera is added above the steering wheel to monitor the driver's fatigue driving.
Compared with the "rotten street" dual screen, the triple screen adopted by GAC Weilai 007 is obviously more novel and fashionable. It consists of 12.3 inch full LCD instrument panel, 12.3 inch central control panel and 10. 1 inch lower panel. The three large screens are seamlessly connected to form a "7" shape. The included angle between the upper and lower screens is 150.48, which meets the needs of ergonomics as much as possible.
Since the above two screens have been introduced in depth on LX, we will focus on the following screen. This 10. 1 inch screen integrates air conditioning system, driving mode, vehicle assistance functions, software applications, vehicle settings, driving assistance and other functions. What's more unique is that it is also equipped with a vehicle-mounted drone system, which can operate the drone through the screen and send the picture back to the central control screen through video, so that it is convenient to grasp the whole road conditions.
In addition, GAC Weilai 007 also supports the "flying screen" function, which can not only directly display the contents of the mobile phone on the central control screen, but also "fly" some functions in this 10. 1 inch screen to the central control screen for easy viewing and operation.
There is a partition between the bar and the center console, which creates a larger opening for the open storage space below, which is convenient for taking and placing items. The electronic handbrake, automatic parking and danger warning light on the lever platform have become one of the few physical buttons in the carriage. The knob electronic lever on the right side is very suitable for the identity positioning of electric vehicles, and the storage compartment of the rear mobile phone comes standard with wireless charging function.
Guangzhou Automobile Weilai 007 has done a good job in materials. The top of the center console is made of soft plastic, and the bottom is wrapped in leather with stitching. Even the air outlet of the penetrating air conditioner has added a strong black piano paint, plus the 32-color atmosphere lights that are standard in the whole system, creating an excellent texture and compartment atmosphere.
The inscription on the front of the door handle is also an exclusive limited edition suit customized for the first batch of 10000 users, including personalized signature and VIP personalized number. The signature and number of this car seal carving are "idea per kilometer" and "007007" respectively. Of course, users can also DIY stamp their favorite patterns, numbers and words to create personalized exclusive cars.
The front seats are integrated and look sporty. The whole system is wrapped in leather as standard, which is not only soft and delicate, but also full and deformed. With sufficient lateral support, it is not only comfortable to sit up, but also good in wrapping. The headrest part is marked with "HYCAN" to enhance the brand imprint. Functionally, the main driver's seat supports electric adjustment of front and rear, backrest, height (2-way) and waist (4-way), while the co-pilot's seat is equipped with heating and ventilation (driver's seat only), which further improves the comfort.
We all know that old people and children basically sit on their hips first and then slowly lift their legs in, which is inconvenient for this tall medium-sized SUV. The rear seat cushion of Guangzhou Automobile Weilai 007 is designed to be very low, which is one of the manifestations of "Good Dad Electric Vehicle" for the convenience of the elderly and children.
In terms of space, Candy's height 175cm, head space with one punch and one palm, and leg space with more than three punches can easily realize comfortable sitting posture such as "Ge You Lie" and crossing his legs. In addition, there is a floor-standing air conditioner outlet in the back row and a hidden storage compartment below. The charging interface is set on the side of the central armrest, and the side of the armrest is hollowed out, which is convenient for storing mobile phones. Water bottles or drinks can only be placed in the storage compartment of the door panel.
Tailbox space, GAC Weilai 007 also has a good performance. Although the lateral space is occupied by the bulges of the wheel arches on both sides, the openings on both sides of the rear section are large, and the space utilization rate is still relatively high. There are several compartments under the floor, which can hold some small items. The rear seat supports a ratio of 4:6. Although it can't be completely leveled, the overall loading capacity is still considerable.
Driving and experience-light and smooth power output? Life guard system is the highlight.
In terms of power, at present, all models are equipped with single permanent magnet synchronous motor and front drive. The maximum motor power of our test drive model is 150kW(204Ps), the maximum torque is 350Nm, and the acceleration time of 100km is 7.9 seconds. The power of the entry model is slightly weak, which is 135kW( 184Ps), the torque is consistent, and the acceleration time of 100km is 8.2s According to different models, the battery capacity is divided into 73kWh and 93kWh, corresponding to the NEDC comprehensive cruising range of 523km and 643km respectively.
Due to the inherent characteristics of electric vehicles, "shifting frustration" does not exist for GAC Weilai 007. The power output in the initial stage is not only strong, but also very linear. With the increase of the depth of the accelerator pedal, the power is gradually amplified in proportion, and there is no feeling of power jump before and after the turbocharged engine, and there is no sense of hysteresis and rush in the whole speed-up process. The car offers five driving modes: comfort, exercise, energy saving, I pedal and extreme energy saving. In order to directly experience the ultimate performance of the car, we mainly feel the sports mode. In sports mode, the vehicle did not appear obvious head-up phenomenon when it started, which indicated that the power performance was moderate to ensure the comfort of daily use, and of course, it was more in line with the positioning of "Good Dad Electric Vehicle". However, the storage capacity at the rear of the power is still quite deep. Even if the throttle depth remains the same, the acceleration will feel lighter and lighter. If you open the throttle, the motor will explode in an instant, and it is easy to increase the speed with such a large body. The 7.9-second acceleration of 0- 100km/h is not excellent in electric vehicles, but it can be said that it is easy to speed up and overtake in daily use.
Although this car provides i-Pedal single pedal mode, it does not set the adjustment option of energy recovery intensity separately, but associates the driving mode with the energy recovery level, which is related to Aion? LX and Aion V are the same. In other words, the energy recovery intensity will only change with the switching of driving modes. For example, energy recovery is stronger in energy-saving mode, and drag is basically not felt in sports mode. Of course, we have always advocated that electric vehicle users should try their best to adapt to the car habit of i-Pedal single pedal mode, which is very useful in the face of slow traffic or slight traffic congestion, and can also reduce the utilization rate of brake pedal and improve the life of brake system.
As far as electric vehicles are concerned, intelligent driving assistance is a "compulsory subject". As the leader of the new domestic car-making force, Weilai has always been at the forefront of the industry in this respect, while GAC Weilai 007 has completely inherited the core technology of the former, and is escorted by 24 sensors of the whole vehicle, including 4 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radar and 8 smart cameras (inside and outside the vehicle). During the driving process, the system can display the situation of each lane on the dashboard through the camera and algorithm. Cars, cars, motorcycles and automatic cars can basically be accurately identified, from smart cameras to image display, which is at the same level as Tesla. In practical application, it is also very close to the performance of Weilai ES6. It is a very useful driver assistance system, including car following, acceleration and rear warning.
The chassis adopts Aion? The same suspension combination of LX is the combination of pre-McPherson independence and post-multi-link independence. This suspension adjustment is mainly based on comfort. When passing through the bumpy road or speed bump, the suspension jumps cleanly, which can absorb and dissolve most of the impact force on the road and bring more comfortable riding experience. At the same time, it also retains a certain sense of road on the straight road, and can also reserve some information for the seat and steering wheel for subtle fluctuations, so that driving will not be too boring. The steering wheel is light in weight, which is convenient for moving the warehouse and turning around at low speed. At high speed, the feel is gradually calm, the virtual position is small and accurate, and the line changing action is clean and neat, and there will be no feeling of sloppiness. In addition, NVH control is also quite good. The front row is equipped with double-deck sound insulation glass, which can effectively suppress external noises such as wind noise and tire noise, and only slight motor howling is transmitted to the carriage.
As a "good dad electric car", GAC Weilai 007 is equipped with a life guard system, which includes three functions: child rear care, vital signs detection and fatigue monitoring. The rear guard function can directly watch the movements of the children in the back row through the central control screen, which is more convenient; Small pot robots can also take pictures at any time to record the wonderful moments of family travel; When the system detects that a child or pet is forgotten in the car, it will remind you in time through the mobile App and phone. If no one responds, the skylight will automatically open for ventilation to avoid danger. Through the camera on the steering wheel, the driver's facial state can be monitored in real time to judge whether he is tired of driving and give a reminder. This system is undoubtedly very friendly and worthy of recognition for friends who love their families.
Brother Kan comments:
As the product of the joint efforts of GAC and Weilai, GAC Weilai 007 inherited their excellent genes, on the one hand, it is the exclusive platform for GEP electric vehicles, on the other hand, it is the leader of automatic driving assistance system, which makes this car have a better foundation. From the actual performance, this car is not as fierce as the dual-motor four-wheel drive version, but the power is enough for daily needs, and it has a more fashionable three-screen, intelligent and interesting pilot tank and life guard system, which is more humanized and more suitable for the actual needs of family lovers.
