In 2021, China's new energy vehicles were selling crazy, and the annual sales of 2.989 million units seemed to make the saying "internal combustion engines will eventually come to an end" more and more solid. In recent years, we have never heard of the angry young argument that "trams are considered cars" anymore, and the models with green license plates have gradually stepped from being "sneered" to the center of the stage.
The Year of the Ox has come to an end, the bull market will continue, and the new Year of the Tiger is here again. In the new year, among the new energy vehicles we know (regardless of whether it is on the market or not), what are the most worthy of attention? Which models can further subvert our understanding of new energy vehicles?
■ Leapmotor Car ——C11
In September 2021, Leapmotor C11 was officially launched, allowing everyone to wait for the "price butcher" that has officially entered the market. The guide price after subsidy of 159,800 to 199,800 yuan can only be said to be ruthless.
pure electric models at this price are all on the market. Why is the Leapmotor C11 arguably the most highly praised as the "price butcher"? We can roughly summarize it by the three advantages of C11.
Advantage 1: Level, size, and wheelbase are all good enough
html Pure electric SUVs with a size of less than 0.2 million are compact cars, and there are very few mid-sized cars. In terms of wheelbase parameters, the C11 is also the longest model for the time being. Of course, the C11's proud wheelbase is not only dominated by less than 200,000.I want to choose a pure electric model that can be used for household use within 200,000 yuan. The size and wheelbase are a must-see parameter, and the C11 is almost a car that is very necessary to understand.
Advantage 2: The battery is large enough, the battery life is enough
Three-electric system is the lifeblood of pure electric models, and battery life is the topic that consumers are most concerned about. Among the two models, the rear-wheel drive exclusive and four-wheel drive performance version, the C11 uses a battery pack composed of 216 battery cells, with a capacity of up to 90kWh and an energy density of about 180Wh/kg, which is also the top of the list for models under the 200,000 level.
Advantage 3: The configuration is high enough
four-door internal electric opening + frameless door. This configuration is also unique among models under 200,000 levels. In addition, the front row mezzanine silent glass, four-door windows with one-click lifting and are all standard for the entire C11 series.
▲ Triple screen: Standard, standard, standard
Inside the cabin, the horizontal and vertical space of the C11 can be said to be out of the question. The standard three-connected large screen also directly fills the sense of technology. The front seats are electric adjustment, face recognition, Nappa leather steering wheel and other configurations are also standard for the entire series.
Since it is a "big" model in the same price, the Leapmotor C11 needs to meet the needs of family cars. Perhaps because of this, the C11's chassis naturally chose comfortable orientation adjustment. When I first tested the C11, I was impressed by the performance of this car when I passed the continuous speed bump. The soft damping in the initial part of the suspension can allow the C11 to dissolve the continuous fine vibrations very well.
.15-200,000 yuan car purchase owners are often highly rational. The entry-level luxury brand models at this price are relatively low in competitiveness. Among the independent brand models, the C11's configuration, battery life and other product strength are also attractive enough. Currently, C11 is still in the process of climbing production capacity, and the delivery time for the current order vehicle is about to reach Q2 quarter. If the production capacity increases, I believe that sales data will show the popularity of C11.
Leap Run brand will also borrow C11 to reach a new level.

Currently, Leapmotor has three major car manufacturing platforms: S, T and C. Among them, the C platform corresponds to a mid-sized car. The new Leapmotor C01 will share the platform with C11.
Zero-Performance C01 will be the first model to adopt an integrated CBC chassis + battery design. The official said that the new car's battery compartment space utilization rate will be increased by 5%, the overall torsional stiffness of the car body will be increased by 25%, and the new car will also be equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system. It is reported that the CLTC of the Zero Race C01 is around 700km.
Leapmotor will launch 8 new models and enter the overseas market in the next four years, including SUVs, MPVs, and sedans. The wheelbase ranges from 2600mm to 3100mm meters. These new cars will cover the price range of less than 350,000 yuan.
In the new year, Leapmotor's attack is worth looking forward to.
■ Gaohe Auto ——HiPhi Z
In 2021, with the official or spontaneous promotion of Weibo , Douyin , Kuaishou, and Moments, Gaohe Auto and HiPhi X, which "plays to become famous", have earned a lot of traffic. The HiPhi X, with a guide price of up to 570,000-800,000 yuan, can be said to be the price ceiling of domestic pure electric vehicles. This car has a cumulative sales of 4,237 units in 2021 and a sales of 919 units in December, which is really good.
high-compatibility needs a more powerful little brother? Maybe they don't have this plan yet.
In November 2021, Gaohe Auto released its second flagship model - Gaohe HiPhi Z mass-produced finalized car.
HiPhi Z's 95% mass production content has been locked. The new car will be unveiled during the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, and will be mass production and delivery within 2022.
has the flagship Gaohe, and this year we will play dual flagships.
High-combination HiPhi Z's digital mecha has a very eye-catching appearance, with unique tough and sharp lines, bringing a sci-fi future styling. The first thing that makes people remember is the "breathing scale" grille (AGS active air intake grille) on the front face. Under the sharp straight waterfall headlights, like the HiPhi X, it has a programmable light language design function. The "electromagnetic NT double-door" on HiPhi X is retained on
HiPhi Z, and this design is likely to become a major symbol of Gaohe Automobile in the future.
In the car door position, the HiPhi Z is equipped with the world's first "Starring ISD Light Curtain System", which can display rich human-computer interactive information. The 22-inch "flexible armor wheels" are paired with low model lines, which fully interprets the combat GT style.
HiPhi Z's "digital mecha cockpit" uses a fantasy style. The "Galaxy Light Belt" ambient lights on the door panel and the mechanical and beautiful luminous panels build a wraparound emotional system inside the car. Every flash of light echoes the emotional emotions of the high-end HiPhi Z.
Haohe HiPhi Z is equipped with the self-developed HiPhi Pilot High-Head Intelligent Driving Assistance System, making it a safe and reliable driving partner in multiple scenarios.
HiPhi Z is equipped with 31 driving assistance sensors including 2 forward 8-megapixel HD cameras, 1 rearview 2-megapixel camera, 5 mm wave radar , 1 lidar and 4 lateral cameras. It combines the accuracy of radar with visual intuition, and combines high-precision maps and positioning modules to give high-combination HiPhi Z the future 5G+V2X autonomous driving capabilities.
Regarding the issue of standing firm in the luxury smart electric car brand, Gaohe Automobile has a clear position. Driven by the HiPhi Z and dual flagship strategies, Gaohe Energy further consolidates its position in the first camp of luxury new energy vehicles with a total luxury new energy vehicle of more than 500,000 yuan.
Remember the hot scene of the high-end auto booths in previous auto shows? I believe that in the Beijing Auto Show in the near future, Gaohe will be the focus of the audience again. At that time, we will bring you more information about HiPhi Z.
■ GAC Aion - AION LX Plus
"If the battery life is 1000+km, I will buy a tram" - netizens often say this. With the launch of AION LX Plus, the pure electric model of "1000+km" has finally appeared.
Although we all know that the 1000+km in the minds of netizens requires a car to actually run to 1000+km, and it will not be bad regardless of driving at high speed or in the severe cold.
that's a bit difficult! At present, we have begun to have the first pure electric vehicle with "exam score of 1000km+", which is a big step in success.
Some time ago, electric Bang conducted the battery life test of AION LX Plus, and the model version officially attracted much attention to the "Qianli Version". This model is equipped with a large battery pack with an exaggerated capacity of 144.4kWh, and the NEDC range is 1008km.
test summary is as follows:
① The air conditioner is set to 22℃ throughout the whole process, the seats are turned on, and the test temperature is 4℃ to -8℃;
② The route to the departure is Beijing- Tangshan - Qinhuangdao , only taking national highways and urban/rural roads, with a total length of about 420km;
③ The return route is Qinhuangdao- Xianghe -Beijing, with the expressways throughout the journey, with a total length of about 240km.
In the end, this AION LX Plus Qianli Edition delivered a score of 675km, with the average power consumption of 17.5kWh/100km. Based on the entire battery capacity of 144.4kWh, the final AION LX Plus cashes at 81.9%.
calculation method: (144.4/17.5*100/1008= 81.9%)
When using a pure electric vehicle with short-range battery life, we are more likely to pay attention to its battery life performance rate; when using a long-range battery life, we are more likely to pay attention to how much worse its actual mileage is than NEDC. In fact, it is easier for us to choose to observe the numbers that make us anxious.
In cold weather, we are very satisfied with the battery life of the AION LX Plus. I believe that this car can perform better under the operating conditions that are more beneficial to pure electric models.
AION LX Plus uses "sponge silicon negative electrode battery technology", which is also the mystery of this car's ability to push NEDC battery life to 1008km.
Graphite has a theoretical specific capacity of 372mAh/g, and the theoretical specific capacity of silicon is 4200mAh/g, which is 10 times that of graphite. In order to prevent the expansion of the silicon negative electrode material lattice (up to 300%), GAC Aion transformed the silicon negative electrode sheet into a soft and elastic "sponge texture", which effectively relieved and inhibited the expansion of lithium ion after embedded, and would not cause powdering or falling off. Under the new technology of
, the battery cell can reduce volume by 20% and weight by 14%, thus ensuring that the AION LX Plus equipped with sponge silicon negative electrode battery technology can run further under the premise of the same battery quality.
Pure electric vehicles have almost bid farewell to the "battery competition", and today's consumers are not only concerned about battery life. In order to consolidate the status of the family flagship, AION LX Plus dare not relax in terms of intelligent technology.
AION LX Plus is equipped with the industry's most high-performance sensing hardware. At the same time, this car is also the world's first mass-produced car equipped with 3 second-generation intelligent zoom lidars.
's rich hardware system combined with a high-computing intelligent driving computing platform, AION LX Plus has a powerful urban NDA system, which can realize advanced operations such as direct traffic light intersections, autonomous lane change and overtaking, left and right turns of traffic lights, turn around the island.
After replacing the new family-style front face, the AION LX Plus has a more flagship model. This design has almost helped the entire Aion family get rid of the shadow of Trumpchi.
Perhaps the AION LX Plus Qianli version has a great meaning to "show off muscles", and the price of its main mid-sized car is also a bit courageous. However, the train runs fast all by the locomotive. With the Qianli version of this big brother supporting the storefront, the flagship aura of AION LX Plus is quite strong. I wish this renewed flagship can help the Aion family expand its territory in the new year.
■ AITO——Ask World M5
Huawei Yu Chengdong once said at a press conference: "Huawei has all the ability to build a car, but Huawei does not build cars. Huawei’s goal is to help car companies build good cars and sell good cars."
▲ AITOAsk World M5——HUAWEI and Cialis jointly create
Huawei repeatedly claimed that it does not build cars, so we will pay special attention to anything related to car manufacturing. But if we really silly examine Huawei's "not making cars" theory, it would be too serious.
In fact, Huawei is not entirely a supplier, but a scheming big boss.
In the body of the Wenjie M5, Huawei is not only involved in the production of electric drive systems, smart cockpits, and assisted driving components, but also protects the software, marketing strategies and sales channels of the new car. Although this car is not equipped with Huawei logo, it is obviously the treatment of "own son". Perhaps in the eyes of passers-by in the mall, this is a Huawei car.
High-end brand models must not be immoral, and it is not advisable to be too conservative or too radical.
Questioning World M5 obviously found a good balance point. This car uses more curved surfaces, the smoked black "big mouth" on the front face is elegant in curves and has a clear sense of layering.
question M5 includes two power forms: rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive model adopts the front axle equipped with asynchronous AC motor, and the rear axle equipped with the dual-motor four-wheel drive solution of permanent magnet synchronous motor .
Among them, the maximum power of the four-wheel drive flagship version can reach 365kW, the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 4.4s, and the acceleration time of 0-50km/h is as low as 1.9s; the maximum power of the four-wheel drive performance version can reach 315kW, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 4.8s; the standard rear-wheel drive version is also equipped with a high-performance motor with a power of 200kW, with an acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 7.1s.
Question M5 is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 40kWh, and the pure electric battery life of WLTC is 150km. Combined with the fuel tank with a capacity of 56L, the total WLTC operating range of this car can reach 1102km and the total CLTC operating range can reach 1242km.
large screen and car computer systems are all good at.
Questioning M5 is equipped with Huawei Harmony OS car computer system. This system can combine the user's full sensory operation to realize seamless interconnection between people, mobile phones, smart homes, smart watches, and other devices. Inside the M5 cockpit, the words "HUAWEI" can be seen everywhere, and are reflected in the sound hole, under the lever, and in the wireless charging panel area. This new car, which is full of Huawei's figures, will be placed in more Huawei flagship stores. With Huawei's strength, influence and hands-on work, this car has its own topics, and I don't know how much advertising costs it saves.
2022 is the time to "submit" the M5 in the world. Let us look forward to the sales performance of this car!
■ Written in the last
In this issue, we did not look forward to the progress and performance of relatively popular models such as NIO ET series, Zekr 001 in the new year. After all, everyone has paid enough attention to those models.
Whether it is the Zero-Road C11, the sales volume has not yet bloomed, the Gaohe Automobile, which belongs to a few people, the previously bleak but new AION LX Plus, or the AITO M5, which is ready to go, these models have some expertise in their respective fields and are very worthy of attention. In the new year, I also hope that these models will be understood by more people and achieve good market performance!
