At the end of the year, the new energy market is rising again, and Huawei continues to come out of the circle, and Wenjie, Zhijie and even AVATR have come to the stage, bringing a lot of shock to the market. Only Jihu, which also belongs to Huawei's series, is a little overshadowed, and it is bound to make some changes to win the right to speak in the market in 2024.
Major car companies have coincidentally reduced prices at the end of the year, wanting to leave a good ending for 2023, and Jihu also holds the same idea. But what the outside world didn't expect was that the Alpha S Forest Edition of the Extreme Fox was so radical, with a maximum discount of 5650,000 yuan. These include up to 20,000 yuan in cash equity, 10,000 yuan in replacement rights, 20,000 yuan in financial rights and 6,500 yuan in car rights. Among them, the cash benefits are only available for the long-range version.
From the point of view of rights and interests, this wave of Polar Fox Alpha S Forest Edition can be described as full of sincerity, you must know that this new car has just been launched in the middle of this year, and the ** range is 18980,000 yuan-28980,000 yuan, including 5 configurations. If you count the full equity, 26The 735e+ version of 380,000 yuan will come to 20730,000 yuan, the strength is not small.
It seems that Jihu has indeed made up its mind to stage a battle against the wind.
The secret of Extreme Fox's game-breaking**.
The reason why the Alpha S Forest Edition has an additional Forest suffix, the biggest change is its new product concept - breathing.
With the development of the new energy era, all car companies are thinking about the ultimate form of intelligent cockpit, from a single central control screen to a multi-screen to a fish screen, from refrigerators to color TVs to large sofas, various designs to meet the needs of users are emerging in an endless stream. JiHu gave its own understanding, integrating user needs and scenarios into the product itself, bringing a forest cockpit with a great sense of breathing.
First of all, the ARCFOX Alpha S Forest Edition adopts a new gray and green color-block interior, which creates the illusion of being in the forest from the appearance. In order to thoroughly implement this concept, Jihu brought the forest oxygen bar in the car, and the central control screen will automatically switch to the forest interface after it is turned on, and the audio will also be synchronized with the white noise of birds and insects.
At the same time, the cockpit supports 8 scene modes such as nap time, fresh ventilation, meditation, and immersive theater, which is also more in line with the concept of forest oxygen bar proposed by Jihu. In addition, JiHu has been deepening in the health of users, and the new car is equipped with PM2The 5+CN95 antibacterial filter element can achieve the highest air purification level of CN95 level for vehicles, and the PM2 in the car5It only takes 8 minutes to reduce from 600 to below 15, and the antibacterial rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus is 99%.
The ARCFOX Alpha S Forest Edition is also equipped with a vehicle-grade negative ion generator, with a negative oxygen concentration of up to 100,000 cubic centimeters, coupled with low-VOC and low-odor environmentally friendly materials, which truly moves the forest oxygen bar into the car.
The front compartment of the new car is equipped with a piece of 203-inch large central control screen, equipped with -OS, supports CarPlay and Huawei HiCar, and is not a Huawei Hongmeng system. It is slightly inferior in the experience of intelligent car machines. In terms of intelligent driving, ARCFOX Alpha S supports basic intelligent assisted driving systems including ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, LCC lane centering assist, TJA traffic jam assist, and ICA integrated cruise, and can also support up to HWA highway automatic lane change assistance, which is at the mainstream level.
By in-depth integration of user needs into the product, the ARCFOX Alpha S Forest Edition brings a completely different car experience, and this is also the secret of ARCFOX wanting to break the game this year**.
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
Although Jihu has given great sincerity in **, and has also conveyed a different understanding of the new energy era to the outside world, the results may still be unsatisfactory.
In recent months, the sales of the Alpha S have been hovering around 1,000 units, backed by Huawei, at 1898-35.The 630,000 yuan ** range has never been able to make many splashes, and there have been more or less problems with the product power.
Although the Alpha S Forest Edition is divided into 5 versions, it is only 28The 980,000 yuan 603D adopts dual-motor four-wheel drive, the maximum power of the front motor is 160kw, the maximum power of the rear motor is 160kw, the total power of the motor is 320kw, the peak torque is 720N·m, and the 000 acceleration time is 42s。
24 of themThe 980,000 yuan 735e version is equipped with a front-mounted single motor with a power of 175kw, and the other three versions are equipped with a 160kw front-mounted single motor with a peak torque of 360N·m, and the 525 and 525e versions have a zero-100 acceleration of 77 for the 7s, 735e and 735e+ versions3s。Such power data appears in a 200,000 yuan + model, which is really not too competitive, you must know that even 18The 990,000 yuan Feifan R7 2024 Advanced Edition has 5Zero-hundred acceleration performance in 8s.
However, the advantage is that after the rights and interests of the Alpha S Forest Edition, the price of 735 mileage enters less than 250,000 yuan, and the cost performance is still very high, which is still a good choice for users with anxiety about battery life.
The ARCFOX Alpha S Forest Edition adopts the front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, the front double wishbone that has been flooded in the 200,000 yuan market, compared with the MacPherson independent suspension, not only the shock absorption effect is better, but also the stability is better, the ARCFOX Alpha S Forest Edition is also not dominant, and the core configuration is slightly inferior.
In addition, although the ARCFOX Alpha S Forest Edition supports intelligent assisted driving, the entry version does not have any basic assisted driving capabilities, and only several other versions have the most basic intelligent driving capabilities, while the HWA highway automatic lane change assistance ability is up to 26380,000 yuan 735e+ is equipped. In the face of the new energy market that is becoming more and more involuted in intelligent driving, the ARCFOX Alpha S Forest Edition is a little backward.
Take a look at the new models such as Extreme Krypton 007 and Zhijie S7 within the same price range, any single one is an insurmountable mountain for the Alpha S Forest Edition, whether it is a more efficient 800V platform for energy supplementation, or a comprehensive leading intelligence, it is a pain point configuration that affects the user's choice, and the Alpha S Forest Edition wants to achieve a breakthrough, and it is difficult.
Summary. Under the impact of the war, there are many inspirational stories of car companies turning around through price cuts, but behind these stories, they all have their own strong product power to support, otherwise there is nothing, and it will also fail to arouse users' desire to buy. The Alpha S Forest Edition has made its own attempts, but at present, it is still far from enough.
