In recent years, with the acceleration of the layout of China's new energy vehicle enterprises, more and more excellent models have poured into the market. The AVATR 12, which was launched just in November last year, is one of them. AVATR 12 is jointly supported by Changan, Huawei, and CATL, and has strong product strength. With the deepening of the cooperation between Changan and Huawei, AVATR has also received more attention, and even competes with traditional luxury fuel vehicles represented by the BMW 5 Series.
AVATR 12 In terms of appearance, both AVATR 12 and BMW 5 Series are positioned as medium and large sedans. The body size of AVATR 12 is 5020 1999 1450 mm, the wheelbase is 3020 mm, and it adopts the design concept of "future aesthetics", with a butterfly wing front face and portholeless window tail design, plus a streamlined body and a lift-back to make its proportions very coordinated. Thanks to the blessing of Huawei technology, AVATR 12 has a ceiling-level advantage in terms of intelligence. In terms of hardware, the whole system is equipped with 3 hidden lidars as standard, and Huawei's advanced intelligent driving assistance ADS 20 can easily achieve intelligent driving coverage in all scenarios such as high-speed, urban, and parking. In addition, AVATAR's mapless intelligent driving NCA is also gradually opened, and the sense of travel safety is more guaranteed. In terms of cockpit, AVATR 12 is equipped with HarmonyOS Cockpit 40, which is also the leading technology in the automotive industry. The operation of the car machine is smooth, similar to the operation logic of the mobile phone, and it can also achieve true interconnection, bringing a better human-vehicle interaction experience, which is worthy of becoming an intelligent partner of the car owner.
BMW 5 Series. The new generation of BMW 5 Series still continues the classic family design style, the iconic kidney grille and angel headlights, as well as slightly black taillights, and a tough waistline, making it look very luxurious and worthy of the strength of the old model. Intelligence is the weakness of traditional fuel models, BMW 5 Series low-configuration models are only equipped with speed cruise and reversing images, ACC adaptive cruise and panoramic images only appear in high-configuration models or optional items, the hardware does not have a lidar configuration, not only the perception ability is weak, but the upper limit of intelligent driving assistance is much lower than that of AVATR 12. The same is true for the cockpit, the BMW 5 Series is equipped with the iDrive operating system, which has a certain gap with the AVATR 12 in terms of silky, smooth, and interactive experience.
It is not difficult to find that although the BMW 5 Series has the aura of a "traditional luxury model", it seems to be somewhat irresistible under today's intelligent trend, especially compared with the AVATR 12, the gap between intelligent driving assistance and intelligent cockpit is very obvious. If you were to choose between these two models, who would you choose?
