This year's automobile market began to pay tribute, Xiaomi paid tribute to a bunch of new forces before the press conference, and the car companies that were paid tribute even said that they were a little annoyed, and the car companies that were not paid tribute to (such as Huawei) made people feel that Xiaomi was targeted.
Huawei is also playing tribute, at the end of the launch conference of the M9, it proved its safety with a large truck impact, and just a few days before that press conference, the ideal car was just hit, triggering a discussion about safety.
Then, when the model was introduced in the middle of the launch conference of the Ideal MEGA, one thing was directly singled out, the sunken rear floor was not safe, so the MEGA was useless. This is talking about its similar competitor, Xpeng X9.
Before the listing, Ideal MEGA and Xpeng X9 had a long war of words on the Internet, and when it was listed, ** directly pulled to 55980,000 yuan. One thing is clear, the difference is more than 100,000 yuan, and the person who bought the car is not in the same rank.
Actually, now everyone is focusing on one topic, they 145-20.Is there a big technical gap in the price difference of 50,000 yuan?
The label of pure electric MPV, in the end, should pay more attention to the interior space, or pay more attention to the three-electric system of the whole vehicle. Combined with the actual use of the car, the three-electric system is a level that should be paid more attention, which is directly related to the cruising range and charging time, which are the two hard indicators of the tram.
The ideal MEGA has achieved a cruising range of 710km for large MPVs, relying on an 800V high-voltage platform and 102The 7kWh battery pack, while also acknowledging that the lower drag coefficient provides some help, but more is the "benefit" brought by the battery pack. At the level of battery technology, there is nothing that can improve the qualitative transformation of the cruising range, and more differences are in the application of technology at the charging level.
However, if the energy consumption can be low, and the maximum power of 400kW dual motor combination can run at the level of 710km range, that is, there is a better treatment in the energy consumption level. In contrast, the Xpeng X9 also has a four-wheel drive model, with a maximum power of 370kW for dual motors, and the battery pack uses 101At 5kWh (not low), the maximum range is only 640km, and the range of the two-wheel drive version is 702km with the same battery specification.
To put it bluntly, there is no general regularity in the energy consumption of batteries under the same number and type of motors. This depends on the design and tuning ability of the specific model, and it does not mean that the layout of the front permanent magnet and rear induction must be more expensive than the motor layout of the front induction and rear permanent magnet.
Prioritize the factors that affect power consumption, 800V high voltage "silicon carbide electric drive" strategy "body weight and appearance design", in terms of battery life and power consumption, the ideal MEGA is indeed better than Xiaopeng X9, with a larger battery pack and a larger power motor, running lower energy consumption performance, which is worth learning.
After the charging level, the ideal MEGA has a 5C level charging capacity of about 500km in 12 minutes, but it was also said at the press conference that 2000 charging stations will be built this year (nationwide), and if every first-tier city is covered, these 2000 may not be realistic. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure that every MEGA owner can use the 5C function every time he charges, and in most cases he may still be using the 4C level charging capacity, that is, about 500km in 15 minutes.
The Xpeng X9 has only 3C level charging capacity at the fastest, which is about 446km of energy in 20 minutes. The charging time between the two is 5-8 minutes.
At the three-electric level, the ideal mega has good power, longer battery life, lower energy consumption and faster charging time (but relatively strict requirements for electric piles). I have to admit that MEGA's performance at the three-electric level is quite extreme.
From a practical point of view, Xpeng X9's four-wheel drive range of 640km and two-wheel drive 702km is indeed enough, and the charging speed of 446km in 20 minutes is not slow.
The second major element of pure electric MPV, in terms of space, can only be said that the two are not bad. The length, width and height of the ideal mega are mm, and the wheelbase is 3300mm; The length, width and height of the Xpeng X9 are mm, and the wheelbase is 3160mm. The Ideal Mega is 57mm longer than the Xpeng X9 and has a wheelbase of 140mm.
Large space, bringing a better experience in the car, the space of the two cars is not small, it is not difficult to sit comfortably, the first few rows we don't interpret too much, the seat arrangement, comfort will not be too bad. Then Xpeng X9 wider body, bringing 180mm**channel width,And ideal MEGA**channel160mm,Relatively speaking,The second row and third row in the car have better passability is XpengX9,It's a small advantage。
Speaking directly about the pain points, MEGA can't be flat in the third row.
The third-row design of the ideal MEGA is a bit like the design scheme of the Buick GL8, and the seats can only be folded and cannot be hidden in the rear floor, which is the sunken seat design of the Xpeng X9. Whether the third row of an MPV can be flattened or not, this point weight is not important, and it is understood to say two usage scenarios. On the premise that five people travel long distances and need to load a lot of luggage, the three-row flat is better than the third-row folding; The flat floor can improve the flexibility and utilization of the interior space. Personally, I feel that the third row, which can be flattened, will bring more possibilities for the use of interior space.
So, why is the MEGA third emission with a longer wheelbase and a longer body uneven?
The reason for this is that in the design of the body-in-white, the design ideas of the two cars are different. Ideal MEGA does not use die-casting parts on the rear floor, so two high-strength longitudinal members extend behind the rear wheel arches, and a certain collapse area is made to ensure the safety of the occupants; The entire rear floor of Xpeng X9 is made of large one-piece die-castings, and the space for the seats to be embedded in the interior floor has been left when the mold is opened, and then two longitudinal beams have been extended to ensure safety.
Xpeng X9 at the body-in-white hardware level, take out the technology of large integrated die castings, which is currently not available in the ideal MEGA, in exchange for the flat space after the third row is reversed. In order to be safer, MEGA did the right thing, strengthening the collision strength of the rear and extending the collapse zone; If the ideal has one-piece die-casting capabilities, the sunken type may also be the first choice.
In terms of space, it is a pity that the ideal mega has not been able to make a flat rear floor under the premise of dominance.
Parking doesn't have to be talked about, the larger the size, the trickier it is, such as parking on the side of the side of the auxiliary road, narrow parking spaces, etc. Then, it is the daily driving link, and rear-wheel steering is the best solution for large-size MPVs to solve the scenarios often encountered in urban road conditions, such as turning and turning around.
This feature is available on the Xpeng X9, which has a rear-wheel steering angle of 5° and a turning diameter of 108 meters; The Ideal MEGA, on the other hand, does not have rear-wheel steering, and the turning diameter is 127 meters. Of course, during the period when the Ideal postponed the launch of the MEGA, they may have also thought about adding a set of rear-wheel steering to the MEGA, but finally chose the solution route of "U-turn assist".
To put it simply, when turning and turning around, the algorithm is used to control the motor power output of the wheel on the same side to achieve the effect of reducing the turning diameter, and this solution can reduce the turning diameter by 05 m - 1 m turning diameter. Well, after reducing the turning diameter, the turning diameter of the ideal mega is 122m-117 meters of performance.
To conclude that rear-wheel steering is really a rigid configuration of large-size MPVs, it is impossible to avoid driving or commuting in the city. Then, the U-turn assistance realized by the algorithm may have an immediate effect on an SUV and bring a significant improvement, but on a large MPV like the MEGA, the effect may not be as good as expected, and it will not be OTA until the third quarter.
Of course, if you want to be a mega with a driver, none of the above is a problem.
To summarize the two cars, the ideal mega is expensive 200,000, you can understand that most of them are used to buy a better three-electric system, with better power, longer battery life and faster charging, these three levels are more advantageous than Xiaopeng X9. However, at the level of interior space, the third row can be designed to be flat, and Xpeng X9 will have a better experience in use.
After that, the entertainment attributes in the cockpit, the chips are all 8295, it is difficult to make differentiation, voice interaction, screen flow, etc., both cars have, so it is difficult to conclude who is better, a tie. In addition, at the driving level, large cars need a certain degree of flexibility to meet the needs of urban commuting, and although MEGA is making up for it, it is only narrowing the gap, not equalizing the gap.
Intelligent driving, Xpeng X9 two 126-line lidars + dual NVIDIA Orin-X chips (508TOPS); Ideal MEGA single 128-line LiDAR + dual NVIDIA Orin-X chips. The hardware is still better than that of Xpeng X9, and the specific features of Mega are better to use, and only after Mega has more OTA functions in June this year, can we draw conclusions.
