Yin Tongyue, chairman of Chery Holdings, originally said that "you're welcome next year", but he didn't expect that "you're welcome" came ahead of schedule!
Three days ago, Xingtu's Star Era ES was officially launched. At the press conference, Yin Tongyue said that Xingtu should become the "spire" of Chery's BBA and Chery Group's brand pyramid, and it is necessary to use new energy to light up this "spire". Moreover, it is said that the Star Era ES is the culmination of the technology of Chery's 26 years of car manufacturing.
Aside from Yin Tongyue's speech, it is not difficult to see the meaning of this car from the name of the Star Era ES "Gao Leng" - to create a new era of Chery New Energy. To put it bluntly, the hot new energy, I, Chery, are officially out of action today!
The Star Era ES has launched a total of five versions, namely the AIR standard endurance version 22580,000 yuan, plus standard endurance version 23580,000 yuan (equipped with a 400V high-voltage platform), and a MAX long-range version of 26980,000 yuan, max+ ultra-long battery life version 29980,000 yuan, ultra four-wheel drive performance version 33980,000 yuan (equipped with 800V high-voltage platform).
Depending on the configuration, the Epoch ES is available in 550km, 605km, 650km, 720km and 905km ranges. Based on the 800V high-voltage platform, it can replenish 218 kilometers of battery life in 5 minutes of charging, and can charge 30% to 80% of the battery in 15 minutes.
The maximum power of the single-motor version of the Star Era ES is 185kW and 230kW respectivelyThe dual-motor version is 123kW and 230kW respectively, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km h in 3 seconds.
At the press conference, when the official introduced the product power of the Star Era ES, "the * is Mercedes-Benz EQS and Tesla Model S, and the parameter comparison results of the Star Era ES are unsurprisingly "leading", but the Star Era ES and the ** expensive to fraudulent EQS and the Model S with a starting price of nearly 700,000 yuan obviously do not have any "intersection", in essence, it will be the "cousin" Zhijie S7 army - combined with the price and product power, the Star Era ES is more cost-effective.
The advantage of the Zhijie S7 lies in the full range of 800V high-voltage platforms and Huawei's intelligent driving system ADS 20, the Star Era es isAll models are equipped with air suspension + CDC electromagnetic damping system as standardand a relatively lower price. Of course, the high-end model of the Star Era ES is also an 800V high-voltage platform, but the price is lower than that of the Zhijie S7.
Zhijie S7 entry model 24980,000 yuan, Star Era ES entry model 22580,000 yuan, both of which have a pure electric range of 550 kilometers, an 800V high-voltage platform and equipped with Huawei's intelligent driving system ADS 20 of the wisdom of the world s7 more expensive 240,000 yuan, but the Star Era of the 400V high-voltage platform has an additional air suspension + CDC electromagnetic damping system.
The starting price of the Epoch ES 800V high-voltage platform model is 26980,000 yuan, pure electric range of 720 kilometers, and the range of more than 700 kilometers of Zhijie S7 MAX version is priced at 28980,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan. That said,ZhijieS7There is Huawei's intelligent driving system ADS2.0, but the Star Era ES air suspension + CDC electromagnetic damping system can completely "smooth" this.
And here's what's interestingStar Era ES seems to be doing a better job in terms of "electronic control", with a power consumption of 11 per 100 kilometers7 degrees, Zhijie S7 is 124 degrees, so, Star Era ES is equipped with 79The 9-degree battery can achieve a range of 720 kilometers, and the Zhijie S7 is equipped with an 82-degree battery and has a range of 705 kilometers.
In terms of product positioning, the Star Era ES and the Zhijie S7 are obviously different, the Zhijie S7 is more in the direction of intelligence, while the Star Era ES is more inclined to performance, and its user group will be younger.
For example, the Star Era ES is the only model within 300,000 that is equipped with air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system as standard. As the saying goes: ten pounds on a poundThe Epoch ES uses a large number of aluminum alloy chassis components, which reduces the unsprung weight by 25%.
The high-spec model is also equipped with an electric rear wing, which can automatically rise and fall according to speed, and has two adjustable gearsThe electric rear wing improves stability and safety at high speeds with rear axle downforce. And at high speeds, it reduces the risk of rolling, skidding and rollover.
In addition, thanks to the application of a large number of lightweight all-aluminum materials in the front suspension system, front and rear steering knuckles, all-aluminum rear subframes, and all-aluminum brake calipers, the curb weight of the Star Era ES has been further reduced. Take the same top-of-the-line four-wheel drive model, for exampleThe Star Era ES is 63 kg lighter than the Zhijie S7。For electric vehicles, weight reduction means a significant increase in cost, but it can also improve range and handling.
At present, among Chinese brands, Chery has the best performance in overseas markets, and the Xingtu brand is also positioned as a high-end brand in overseas markets, so the creation of vehicle safety is also based on broader global standards.
Epoch ES meets 9 safety standards: Euro-NCAP, A-NCAP, C-NCAP, C-IASI, ASEAN-NCAP, Latin-NCAP, Global-NCAP, I-Vista and C-ICAP, all of which are five-star safety standards. The Star Era ES uses a cage capsule 20 high-performance safety body, the application rate of high-strength steel and aluminum in the body is greater than 85%.
The Epoch is derived from Chery's E0X high-performance electric platform, which consists of two parts: a high-performance physical platform architecture and a highly intelligent electronic and electrical architecture. Therefore, in addition to the quantification of safe lines, efficient electric drives, and better control performance, it also has good performance in high-computing hardware architecture, high-bandwidth secure communication architecture, and high-speed OTA iteration.
For automobiles, higher computing power means more intelligence and faster iteration of products. The intelligent driving of Epoch ES uses two NVIDIA Drive Orin chips with a computing power of up to 508 TOPS, and is equipped with more than 30 high-performance perception hardware to finally achieve end-to-end and full-scene coverage. Among them, intelligent parking is particularly outstanding, and valet parking can support a distance of up to 1 km, supporting above-ground and underground cross-layer parking, covering more than 80% of the daily parking scene.
It is reported that the Star Era ES is also the world's first mass-produced large model of intelligent cars, equipped with the Lion AI large model is a full-scene, self-learning, evolutionary high-dimensional intelligent interactive brain.
Write on the backThe listing of Epoch ES is the beginning of Chery's official march into high-end new energy. As the culmination of Chery's new energy technology, the product strength of Star Era ES reflects the temperament of "technology Chery".
Yin Tongyue's bold words of "you're welcome" are completely different from the general "far ahead" marketing rhetoric in the automobile circle;For Chery, technology is the capital that says "cruel words".
