Introduction | Q&A M5 is a textbook
Yu Chengdong deserves the title of "Big Mouth".
At the Huawei winter conference on December 23, he bluntly said that the design of the Xilis SF5 can be better, and the chassis is a little softer. So he used Huawei's consumer business, mobile phone design team, software team, and user experience team to build a new car under his brand name - Q&I M5.
"My request to the team is: build our car according to the standards of Million Luxury, the appearance, interior, performance, experience and quality requirements of the Million Luxury Car!" Yu Chengdong spoke.
Throughout the speech, he mentioned the "Millionaire" 8 times.
Many people feel that the appearance of the M5 looks like porsche Macan, a medium-sized luxury SUV with more than 500,000 yuan. More mean people, pointing out that the discontinued Zotye SR9 has also paid tribute to Macan, only selling 108,800.
In fact, the product force closer to the M5 is zero-run C11. Their founders are all FROM IT backgrounds, with comparable body sizes, and are all focused on performance, intelligence, and cost-effectiveness. Performance on a 4.4 seconds, a 4.8 seconds; intelligent on a main self-developed HarmonyOS car operating system, a main with a self-developed chip Lingxin 01 intelligent driving; a pre-sale of 250,000, a 159,800 from.
The M5 competitors listed on the scene are: Porsche Macan, Mercedes-Benz GRC, Audi Q5L, BMW X3, Tesla Model Y.
For example, here at the 100 km/h acceleration, the Q&J M5 is 5 competitors ahead of the competition with a time of 4.4 seconds. However, if you think about it, motor-driven cars are inherently faster than fuel vehicles, which is not the advantage of the world. For example, the Mustang Mach-e, which is also more than 300,000, accelerates by 3.65 seconds.
Moreover, when compared with Model Y, only one of the other side is listed, and if the performance version of 387,900 is used to compare, the Model Y is faster than 3.7 seconds.
When talking about NVH, Yu Chengdong patiently explained the specific meaning of these three letters to the audience. To be honest, he was more fluent in English than Chinese. Judging from the numbers cited, the M5 is better than the X3, Macan, Q5L, and GLC with a sound of 56.9dB.
The credibility here is still relatively high, but these competitors are not million-level, right?
Next, when talking about the range extender, Yu Chengdong encountered a situation. For example, when promoting their own 1.5T four-cylinder engine, they said: "Some manufacturers still use 1.3L three-cylinder engines, the engine must be at least four cylinders, buy a car must not buy a three-cylinder engine, the engine is at least equipped with four, six, eight, ten, twelve such configurations." ”
These words sound harsh to some auto industry insiders.
First of all, he said that the three-cylinder machine should refer to the ideal ONE, but the brand uses a 1.2T three-cylinder machine, not a 1.3L three-cylinder machine. Mocking the key technology of the competitor, but saying two details wrong.
Secondly, he called for not to buy a three-cylinder machine, and BMW, GM, Ford, and Geely should cry in the toilet, making the already controversial three-cylinder machine worse. Teacher Yu was scared as soon as he was scared, and they were all big factories. In fact, like the three cylinders used by Lynk & Co 05 PHEV and Hoshikoshi L Thor, the NVH is actually quite good.
Finally, the engine must be equipped with at least 12 cylinders? Big brother, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volvo are the main four-cylinder machine, BMW X7 is the highest equipped with only 8 cylinders, where do you go to let consumers buy 12 cylinder cars?
It is said that a car media person heard this and immediately left the scene.
From the book, the 1.5T four-cylinder engine used by the M5 is indeed very thermally efficient: 41%.
This is due to the use of the new generation of Miller cycle technology of Well-off Celis, which achieves high compression ratio and high efficiency. Yu Chengdong introduced that even in the feed state of M5, the actual fuel consumption is only more than 6L. This is already comparable to the latest DM-i, DHT, DHT Pro and other hybrid technologies.
Next up is the highlight: battery life.
According to Yu Chengdong, the M5 has a 40kWh battery and a 56L fuel tank, the former's pure electric endurance is 150km under WLTP conditions, and the latter is equivalent to 173kWh batteries, adding up to a large-capacity battery of 213kWh, with a comprehensive endurance of 1102km under WLTC conditions and 1242km under CLTC conditions. "This is still a four-wheel drive performance version, and if it is a two-wheel drive version, the battery life will be higher." He said.
However, with the conversion of the fuel tank equivalent battery, Che Jujun still heard it for the first time.
So, all fuel vehicles can be "equivalent" to electric vehicles? What is the significance of that double integral? Comprehensive endurance of more than 1,000 is a good thing, but it is not so new, one is to carry 56L fuel tank, the other is that the Macchiato PHEV can last up to 1010km, and the HEV version of hoshikoshi L can reach 1300km.
Then, Yu Chengdong exposed the short board of the battery life of the electric vehicle: the NEDC battery life claimed by the manufacturer is often 30% off, and even 50% off in winter. According to Huawei's internal tests, the endurance of the M5 is three times that of a normal electric vehicle. "One mileage seconds to kill a lot of pure trams!" He said.
This is an objective fact, pure electric winter battery life is a pain point for consumers. In particular, lithium iron phosphate batteries in the northern winter, even run less than half of the NEDC mileage.
Yu's explanation is that the M5 can use a range extender in winter, which will not consume the heat of the battery extremely and achieve indoor warmth. He did not further explain whether the engine and the motor could be connected in parallel, i.e. whether the engine could drive the vehicle directly. Because the ideal ONE uses a series mode, there have been cases where the owner is anchored when the fuel is fully fed in winter.
He focused on three modes of the new car: the "fuel first" mode that is inconvenient to charge can be used, and the range extender starts to generate electricity when the SOC drops below 70%; "pure electric priority" is mainly used for rechargeable urban commuting; and the "automatic mode" is divided into comfort and movement, the former starts the range extender when the SOC is reduced to 30%, and the latter is 50%.
Yu Chengdong's summary is: can be charged with electricity, no electricity oil, really worry-free at all times.
Che Jujun was a little curious to ask which kind of hybrid architecture of the M5? For example, BYD's DM-p is P0+P4, the Great Wall's DHT-phev is P1+P3, and Geely's Thor hybrid is P2+P1.
In fact, the real highlight of the M5 is the HarmonyOS Hongmeng operating system.
According to Yu Chengdong, the M5 is the first commercial use of harmonyOS smart cockpit in a car. He believes that practicality and high-end transcend all peers, and are domestic and foreign counterparts.
The first is private customization. The 3D face recognition of the new car can automatically recognize and log in to your Huawei account after you enter the cockpit, automatically adjust the seat position, navigation, schedule, music, etc., and also synchronize the theme on the Huawei mobile phone to the car machine to achieve a seamless connection between the mobile phone and the car machine.
The second is ease of use. Its navigation uses Huawei's Petal Map, which has been released in more than 100 countries around the world, and like mobile phone maps, it is often used and updated. There are also card-style Samrt Dock with drag-and-drop shortcut applications, multi-window split screen, map two-way sharing, etc. For example, the co-driver can share the map on the mobile phone to the car machine, and the unfinished navigation of the car machine can continue to be completed by the mobile phone navigation after you get off the car.
Again, powerful voice interaction. It can distinguish which seat issued the instructions, and supports connecting conversations, playing at any time, controlling vehicle system functions, etc.
- Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi
-Hello Master
- Play music
- Okay, no problem
- Louder, smaller; pause, how is the weather today?
-Shenzhen today is cloudy, 15 degrees, more than yesterday...
-Call Xiao Liang,
- Calling Xiao Liang
- Hang up! Help me set the temperature to 23 degrees and leave a slit in the window
- Okay, I'll get you done right away.
- Turn on settings, lights. The color of the atmosphere lamp is adjusted to: the rising sun is warm and the sea breeze is refreshing.
-Driving. Set the driving mode to: Sport.
This is equivalent to HarmonyOS allowing you to blindly manipulate menus through voice. This effectively solves the contradiction between touch screen operation and safe driving. Also, it can actively communicate.
-Detected severe fatigue driving identification, please rest as soon as possible.
- You have been driving for four hours continuously, a 20-minute break is recommended
In addition, HomonyOS can also provide functions such as collecting express mail, providing suggestions for nearby gas stations/charging stations, and finding parking spaces. You can also use gestures to adjust the wind direction of air conditioning, remotely control the smart home in your home with a smart screen, including using the car screen to make video calls with your family, and you can also switch between interior and exterior.
The most amazing thing is that the Inquisition M5 matches the Huawei Watch 3, replacing the car key with Bluetooth and NFC technology. Of course, Huawei mobile phones can also be unlocked, and even when there is no power, they can also enter the car without power induction, and then use the 40W wireless fast charge in the car to charge.
Basically, the Q&I M5 is to move a Huawei mobile phone, Huawei computer, Huawei speaker, huawei Super Charge to the car, and can be controlled by using the Huawei watch and Huawei mobile phone in the hand. Its human-computer interaction should be said to be second, and it is estimated that no one dares to say the first.
Regarding assisted driving, Yu Chengdong did not talk much about it.
He mentioned an example: after the vehicle enters the tunnel, the air conditioner automatically switches to the inner circulation, and the screen becomes night mode; after leaving the tunnel, it is adjusted back to the outer circulation and daytime mode. This is actually the function of the car machine.
Regarding ADAS, he only said that it can provide L2+ intelligent driving assistance, including intelligent cruising and lane keeping, which can reduce fatigue driving under closed roads.
"But everyone should pay attention to safety, we are only intelligent driving assistance, not automatic driving." Yu Chengdong stressed. Che Jujun believes that this is the most professional part of his explanation about the car that night.
In fact, regarding the intelligence of the M5, he can highlight an advantage: Huawei's signal is the best, whether it is infotainment or intelligent driving, it will make you feel free.
Regarding luxury, Che Jujun only does some listing.
Yu Chengdong repeatedly emphasized that it is designed according to the standard of millions of luxury, such as the 15.6-inch central control screen with a high color gamut display of 2K and a super high screen ratio; 128-color RGB atmosphere lights, which can change the rhythm according to music. The panoramic canopy can isolate 99.9% of ultraviolet rays; the rear legroom is 870mm; the makeup mirror has an oversized mirror and double soft light; three kinds of fragrance; 40W wireless fast charge; nearly 1200W Huawei Sound audio, supporting 7.1 channels.
"Our stereo is worth tens of thousands, and it has killed a lot of luxury brands." Yu Chengdong is very fond of using the combination of "killing a lot of people in seconds".
At the end of the conference, he emotionally concluded: The M5 is still in the stage of branding, but we have always adhered to the appearance, interior, experience, quality and performance standards of millions of luxury cars to create a great product.
In the return session, he added: New cars have begun to enter more than 500 Huawei stores across the country, involving 118 cities. It can be test driven around January 20, and the delivery starts after the Spring Festival.
"We're not PPT cars." He stressed it in particular. Finally, it brought to the "three-year cold winter" and cheered up that after the cold winter, it is spring and warm blossoms.
Car gathering summary
Overall, the M5 car is modeled after the Cyris SF5, the design pays tribute to the Porsche Macan (in fact, the Huawei Mate series has always had a Porsche version), the manufacturing reference apple's FOUNDRY model, the marketing reference to the ideal ONE range model, the hypothetical enemy points to Tesla, and the actual competitor is the medium-sized SUV of the BBA traditional luxury brand.
Although it is a "re-creation" of the set, the biggest advantage of the Q&C M5 lies in Huawei's most widely known HarmonyOS Hongmeng operating system. If Autopilot made Tesla a generation of grandmasters, it may also want to become a figure in the automotive industry with this SET of OS. After all, in today's automotive world, "software-defined cars" have become the consensus.
Then, you may be able to teach people a model and teach artificial vehicles with the M5.
Slightly unexpectedly, after the whole press conference, Yu Chengdong's speech was obviously a bit bumpy, and even the audience in the live broadcast room constantly questioned in the bullet screen. Che Jujun deliberately watched several episodes of his past videos, which are quite normal, and even in the difficult period of the third round of sanctions by the United States, it is clear and smooth.
"Maybe he's also paying tribute to Tesla's Musk in the way he speaks?" A young colleague asked.
It seems that to be a good teacher, one must first be a devout student.
