On September 5, 1885, the world's first automobile was born, invented by Carl Benz, the founder of Mercedes-Benz. Despite its appearance as a small tricycle, the car laid the ideological foundation for the development of automotive technology for many years to come.
Nowadays, many luxury car brands have emerged around the world, especially in Europe and the United States, due to their early development, the number of luxury car brands is considerable, and it has always been the first choice for the wealthy to buy cars.
Taking the Cadillac of the United States as an example, in the social occasions of China, the Cadillac has enjoyed a considerable reputation, and Cadillac owners often display their hand stamps that symbolize status.
Today, Cadillac celebrates its 120th anniversary, especially after World War II and until the 80s of the last century. As a member of General Motors, Cadillac was technically mature, and its exterior design and power technology were mostly based on jet-powered aircraft of the time.
Cadillac's models show a unique and rich style, as early as when Japan was not prosperous, Cadillac was able to compete with the German BBA and became the industry benchmark. The exterior is unique, aesthetically pleasing, powerful, and piloting feels like controlling an airplane.
At that time, some countries did not have regulations that pilots could not drive, and many European and American pilots chose to buy Cadillac products because of their professional characteristics and trust in Cadillac technology. Today, Cadillac is still performing strongly, and its rich historical accumulation and technical strength are the key to its survival in the industry.
When it comes to Bentley in the UK, I still remember my father joking when he was sending me to school that if I saw a Bentley on the logo, I should stay away because if I accidentally collided with it, I really couldn't afford to pay for it.
Bentley is a car company with a long history, having created a production car in 1921 that could reach speeds of up to 128 kilometers per hour, and although it may seem ordinary from the perspective of modern automotive craftsmanship, it caused a huge sensation at the time.
Bentley's technical strength is mainly due to the in-depth study of the chassis of the car, whether it is in the field of car brakes or electronic stability system (ESC system).
All-wheel rev and electronic limited-slip differential technology are widely used in motorsports to make cars more agile while maintaining speed, especially when accelerating after cornering.
For friends who don't know much about automotive technology, they may think that the reason why Bentley is expensive is mainly because of the brand effect, in fact, I think the automotive field is an industry where you get what you pay for.
Having technology means that consumers can experience a more refined driving experience, and for good reason.
In Germany, in addition to BBA, Volkswagen's Porsche is also a symbol of dignity in the eyes of Chinese consumers. In particular, models such as the 918 and 718 became models of best-selling models. As a luxury car brand, Porsche is unique in the industry with its PDK transmission technology, and the models with PDK gearboxes are usually expensive.
On the track, the PDK gearbox has worked many miracles. Not only does it bring more speed, but it is also extremely durable, with alloys that can withstand high temperatures, even at torques of up to 800 Nm.
This means that the PDK is able to allow the car to be ejected multiple times, and the person driving the Porsche will have the intuitive effect of acceleration, as if they were talking to a friend who has known each other for many years.
As a result, Porsche's appeal goes far beyond its appearance, with its long history, unique appearance and exceptional driving experience all working together to make Porsche what it is today.
So does China have its own typical luxury car brand?I don't think it's yet. Luxury car brands are not just the most expensive, and the technology and history of many Chinese car brands have not yet broken through this threshold, which is not a self-humility, but a fact.
However, we are in a period of historical accumulation, and many brands are growing and are expected to form their own brand culture. Moreover, the true essence of a luxury car brand lies in technology!
Recently, I have seen a lot of new cars released by domestic brands, and many models seem to me to have the shadow of luxury car quality. For example, Hechuang A06 has 3 configurations, and the 550A version is less than 180,000 yuan after the subsidy, which is quite close to the people.
The body size of the A06 is 4965mm x 1920mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2850mm. The intelligent voice system in the car is very mature, and almost all electronic control operations can be completed through voice assistants, which improves the sense of intelligent experience and also provides support for driving safety.
The most important thing is the power system, the 550A version of the A06 is equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 135kW and a torque of 225Nm。
If you choose the 630C drive motor, the maximum power can reach 160kW and the torque is 225Nm, and the Performance version is driven by front and rear dual motors, the front-wheel drive data is the same as 630C, the maximum power of the rear-wheel drive is 180kW, and the torque reaches 309Nm, real high horsepower, real acceleration maniac.
In terms of hardware, the A06 adopts a MacPherson independent suspension, which makes the driving process smoother. A smooth ride not only reduces power losses, but also makes the driver and passengers more comfortable. Perhaps this is what electric mobility is really like today.
As consumers, we must pay attention to safety issues during driving, and the A06 has conducted a large number of crash tests to ensure that the product has good emergency avoidance ability and body strength. In terms of battery, Hechuang A06 adopts the fifth-generation battery management system, battery low-temperature heating and cold battery technology, and nano-level coating technology to ensure the safety performance of the battery and the stability of power output.
From a technical point of view, China's domestic automobiles are constantly making progress, and I firmly believe that we will achieve more achievements in the automotive industry in the future, so that car companies in Europe, the United States and Japan can feel our strength!
