With the help of Huawei's high-computing intelligent driving calculation platform, it can bring users the unique high-speed + urban road conditions NDA intelligent pilot assistance driving function of the same level.
——Configuration Analysis——
Let's take a closer look at the 4 models of the AION LX Plus.
Model Recommendation: 80 Zhizun Edition
Official guidance price: 286,600 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★★
The entry-level 80 Zhizun edition model is very rich in configuration and has been equipped with a 93.9kWh battery pack, and is driven by a single motor, and the NEDC pure electric cruising range is 650km. This version of the model has reached a good level in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, plus the price of this version is the lowest in the series, and the 650km endurance is second only to the top model. If you don't have too many demands on the power aspect, this model is the best choice.
Model Recommendation: 80D Ultimate Edition
Official guidance price: 329,600 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★
The 80D flagship version is 43,000 yuan more expensive than the entry-level model, this version of the model is equipped with two drive motors, the system has a comprehensive maximum power of 360kW, the peak torque has reached 700N·m, and the official four-wheel drive version of the 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 3.9s. In addition to the power improvement, the model was upgraded to a 20-inch rim, and the new co-driver seat leg rest adjustment and the second row seat leg rest adjustment were added. If you have certain requirements for performance, then this model is more suitable for your needs.
Model Recommendation: 80DMAX Version
Official guidance price: 409,600 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★
Compared with the previous version, the 80DMAX version is equipped with 3 lidar, 6 high-precision millimeter wave radars and 8 intelligent driving HD cameras, and its software part uses a higher level of high-computing intelligent driving calculation platform and ADiGO 4.0 intelligent driving assistance system. At the same time, the 80DMax edition also has more 5G pioneer sets. In other configurations, the 80DMAX version is almost the same as the 80D flagship version. Personally, I think that 80,000 yuan in exchange for higher driving assistance capabilities, for an old driver, the cost performance is not very high.
Model recommendation: Thousand Mile Edition
Official guidance price: 459,600 yuan
By adding a budget of 50,000 yuan to the price of the 80DMax version, you can buy a 1,000-mile version of the NEDC model with a cruising range of 1,008km. The biggest advantage of the Qianli version of the model is that the endurance is extremely prominent, the model uses GAC Aean's exclusive self-developed sponge silicon anode chip battery technology, matching the 144.4kWh large-capacity battery pack, thus becoming the world's first CLTC comprehensive endurance to break through the 1000km mark of pure electricity production model. Although this version is the highest priced in the series, it has been heavily degraded in terms of assisted driving, with only a cruise control function. If you don't have undue anxiety about mileage, it is not recommended to buy.
Editor's summary: Compared with the previous model, the emergence of AION LX Plus not only has a qualitative leap in the whole, but also announces that electric vehicles have entered the era of endurance exceeding 1,000. However, from the perspective of actual purchase, the entry-level 80 Zhizun version of the model can meet the needs of most consumers and is worth buying. If you have certain needs for power performance, the 80D ultimate is also a good choice.
