On December 27, it was reported that the latest news from the Great Wall Wei brand new energy department that its Mocha, latte and macchiato car series are about to accept its seventh OTA (Over-the-Air) technology upgrade. The upgrade will include a number of enhancements, including but not limited to improvements to the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) function, detailed adjustments to the vehicle's status, and optimizations to battery protection strategies. According to the official plan, the upgrade will be carried out in three phases, the first batch of upgrades was launched on December 27, and the next two batches of upgrades will be carried out in one to two days.
In this update, the improvement of ACC functions is particularly prominent. Especially in the one-pedal driving mode, when ACC is activated, the system will be able to use braking energy more efficiently, thus effectively extending the vehicle's driving range. In addition, the update makes the refueling process easier and safer. The fuel cap can now be opened when the vehicle is ready, and once the cap is opened, the engine will automatically stop running, greatly reducing the safety risk during the refueling process.
According to ITBEAR, the OTA upgrade also optimizes the vehicle's locking system. In particular, the Near Car Unlock and Exit Lock functions now do not automatically trigger the lock when walking through the rear of the vehicle with the smart key, which greatly improves the ease of use. At the same time, the pairing success rate of Bluetooth keys has also been significantly improved. In terms of power protection, the new strategy allows the engine to intervene when the battery level is up to 90% to reduce battery consumption in pure electric mode, effectively extending battery life and improving the energy efficiency of the vehicle.
Although this upgrade brings many substantial improvements, officials say that the version number will remain the same. The installation time varies by model: the Mocha model is expected to take 6 minutes to install, and the DHT-PHEV version is about 23 minutesThe latte DHT version is expected to take 8 minutes, while the DHT-PHEV version takes about 18 minutes;The installation time is about 3 minutes for the Macchiato DHT version and about 11 minutes for the DHT-PHEV version. This comprehensive upgrade is expected to further enhance the user experience, enhance vehicle performance, and improve overall safety.
