The first test of Guangzhou Automobile AION S Plus in China： I did it, you are free.

Three years ago, I drove Guangzhou Automobile New Energy GE3 from Chengdu to Dujiangyan. Although the endurance of 310km was more than enough, it was extremely anxious.

Three years later, I was driving Guangzhou Automobile AION S Plus on the coastal highway in Zhuhai, and the subtropical sea breeze blowing against my face made people very comfortable.

Three years ago, most people’s knowledge of electric vehicles was still above the basic needs of "battery life, fast charging and subsidy".

Three years later, our demand for electric vehicles and their experience have reached a higher pyramid.

After three days’ farewell, we should still look at each other, let alone three years.

At 13: 04 Beijing time on June 15th, I was stopped by a white commercial vehicle. After pulling over, a strong man with a black face stepped out of the co-pilot. His steps were firm but heavy. He knocked on the window rhythmically, and the frequency was as fast as my breath mixed with my heartbeat. Later, he used a Mandarin full of Cantonese flavor to sink a track: "When will this car go on the market?" I’m going to the store to order one! "

At 14: 52 on June 15th, Beijing time, we were shooting the AION S Plus of Guangzhou Automobile in the outdoor parking lot. A black SUV crossed in front of us and rolled down the window. A big brother with sunglasses looked at us, looked at the car and asked, "Is the price of this car out?" I am comparing it with that XX, and I don’t know who to buy! " After some conversation, eldest brother drove away. I clearly saw that it was a 2011 Porsche Cayenne.

Hmm … Although the plot is somewhat complicated, these two things are by no means fabricated. During the test drive of AION S Plus, within a few hours, two potential customers did ask us for new car information. At this time, I only had one thought in my mind:

This car needs fire!

In the past May, the monthly sales of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an family exceeded 10,000 for the first time. Brand names range from "GAC New Energy" to "GAC Ai ‘an", pure electric platforms range from "GEP 1.0" to "GEP 2.0", and market share ranges from "fledgling" to "crossing a milestone". The development history of GAC Ai ‘an is not as ups and downs as that of Long Aotian, but it is like a stream of water flowing quietly.

If you don’t accumulate a thousand miles, you can’t become a river without accumulating a small stream.

Xunzi may never have dreamed that his famous sentence will become a "universal golden sentence" used by major automobile media to describe automobile brands after more than two thousand years. I didn’t want to, but it is too suitable for GAC Ai ‘an! Nowadays, China’s new energy market is full of opportunities. Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an is gathering rivers and seas, and it needs a flood to add fuel to the flames. AION S Plus is the first bullet released by Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an.

We are one of the first media in China to test drive the AION S Plus (this sentence is meaningless, and its main function is to highlight the layout). Although we shouldn’t focus too much on the subjective place of design, it is undeniable that AION S Plus is more "like" a pure electric car than AION S, such as closed front face, hidden door handle and sculptural body lines.

Naturally, these designs are not for designers to clap their heads and say, "Because I think it looks cool!" I came out after that.

In fact, whether it is the low-lying hood, the low-drag pneumatic wheel hub, the profile optimization of the front and rear bumpers and side skirts, and the adaptive air intake grille, they all serve to reduce the wind resistance. Compared with AION S, the drag coefficient of the new car is reduced by about 14%, and the wind resistance coefficient is 0.211Cd.

In the future, I can finally tell people generously: I (the car) is also "211"!

This time, AION S Plus launched two main colors: holographic silver and ice rose powder. The former uses a pearlescent color-changing body, which changes with the light. Where the sun shines, the paint will be warm and golden, and the shadow will be cold and silver. Ice rose powder is the main color specially made for fashionable women, which is also the best proof of "her economy".

Although it is more complicated in technology and paint materials, we consumers only need to be clear: these two colors don’t need extra money!

In terms of external lighting, can the people agree that the cars built this year should be equipped with full LED? Can the people promise? It is a top priority for car companies to think about how to play with these LEDs. AION S Plus is equipped with a penetrating taillight-it is very advanced at first sight, and many diamond patterns with a three-dimensional effect are added to the details around the taillight-the advanced details are really advanced.

As for the headlight, I can only say: "Its eyes are deep and there are tears in the corner of its eyes."

According to the official information, the AION S Plus is positioned as an A+ class car. To be honest, when I saw the size data of 4810/1880/1515/2750mm (length/width/height/wheelbase), I was already numb-it’s really too difficult for a B-class car these days, and a car with a length of more than 4.8 meters and a wheelbase of more than 2.7 meters is always coming. ?

But vomit vomit, can enjoy the treatment of B-class car at the price of A-class car, hmm … It smells good!

Speaking of this spit, I suddenly thought of one thing. Recently, I have doubts about my career orientation. I have participated in several test drive activities of electric vehicles in succession, and I always feel that I have changed from automobile media to technology media.

"Master, is this the so-called sublimation! ？”

Because the wonderful thing is that in the past, the test drive of traditional fuel vehicles started in the morning, driving from point A to point B, then returning from point B to point A, and finally eating and drinking Lazar, looking for each mother. However, taking part in the activities of electric vehicles, more than half of the time is spent experiencing the car system, voice interaction, automatic parking and intelligent assisted driving. For example, this time, we actually played the Switch in the car of AION S Plus. !

Of course, the organizer’s projection of the game on the 1.9-square-meter canopy of AION S Plus is not to let us better appreciate my sister’s big white legs, but to show the color-changing canopy that can be infinitely adjusted within the range of 10%-60% light transmittance. AION S Plus’s in-car personnel can stepless dim the light through gestures and voice, which can block ultraviolet rays up to 99.9%(SPF50).

I know what you want to ask: "standard!"

But sister is not standard.

Thanks to the blessing of ADiGO 4.0 intelligent driving internet ecosystem, the playability and convenience of AION S Plus have been greatly improved. Almost all physical buttons in the car have been abandoned, and all operations can be completed through the 14.6-inch touch screen of Zhongkong. As for Tik Tok, watermelon video, today’s headlines, QQ music and singing, it’s even more "splashing water". What’s the difference between a tram that doesn’t do well in central entertainment and salted fish these days?

But what I like better is the convenience of AION S Plus. The new car cancels the one-button start and adopts the "non-inductive start" instead. When the owner brings the car key near the door, it will automatically unlock it. After entering the cockpit, he can directly drive away. This is the function that Jason Statham dreamed of in "Hard Express"! In addition, the owner can also realize the Bluetooth /NFC key quadruple non-inductive start-up second connection function through the mobile phone+smart watch, and can also support advanced functions such as remote unlocking, remote parking, key sharing, etc.-as long as the mobile phone is still there, the car can drive away.

Let me say that the driving experience of AION S Plus is actually very embarrassing, because I can still use the smoothness of gearbox, turbine lag, engine noise and other words, but the tram …… this ability value is all full!

You said ride comfort, no matter how good the gearbox of a fuel car is, can it match the single-speed gearbox of an electric car? How else can I say that the road is simple-as long as I don’t change the speed, I will never feel frustrated!

You said that the turbine was sluggish, and the auto start torque of the electric drive was directly full. The 165kW power motor used by AION S Plus can accelerate 100 kilometers in 6.8 seconds.

You said that the engine noise, most electric vehicles are even afraid that pedestrians on the road will not notice themselves because they are too quiet when driving, so they have placed "external speakers", and there will be warning sounds to remind pedestrians when driving at low speed, to remind me of quietness?

But then again, if you are used to driving a fuel car and suddenly switch to a tram, you will feel more or less "uncomfortable", and the main reason is the kinetic energy recovery system of the electric car. AION S Plus offers five kinetic energy recovery modes, and the highest level is "single pedal mode".

In this mode, as long as the driver releases the switch, the vehicle will brake immediately, and the force is about two-thirds of the brake pedal, which is not easy for novice tram drivers to control. Among the remaining four kinetic energy recovery modes of "high, medium, low and off", I think "low" is the closest to the driving experience of traditional fuel vehicles, and the slight braking feeling is very close to the engine braking of fuel vehicles.

At the level of intelligent assisted driving, AION S Plus is equipped with ADiGO2.5 automatic driving system. This test drive mainly experienced lane keeping, car-following and lane changing, and congested automatic assisted driving in high-speed automatic assisted driving. The vehicle will automatically follow the car without frequent braking or acceleration.

To tell the truth, these two functions are really practical. Although they can’t completely liberate both hands and feet (mainly for fear of unexpected situations such as "ghost probes"), they can really save the driver a lot of energy to "see all directions and listen to all directions" frequently. In automatic assisted driving, although the steering wheel will turn according to the lane, the driver still needs to hold the steering wheel, otherwise the system will remind or even cancel the automatic assisted driving.

Although in the experience of one day, I think that AION S Plus’s automatic assisted driving system is fully capable of liberating the driver’s hands, regardless of regulations or safety, drivers should never take chances. Before automatic driving is fully opened and popularized, they must never take risks with their own bodies.

Kan car said:

Although AION S Plus was born out of AION S in terms of naming, the former has made a breakthrough in all aspects, bringing users a brand-new model with a more futuristic, scientific and technological sense and higher value with a brand-new attitude. Its design exudes a full sci-fi interstellar atmosphere, full of futuristic and sporty appearance, and has great visual impact.

In terms of product positioning, the target population of AION S Plus is younger. The new car supports fast charging and provides three endurance versions, namely 410km, 510km and 602km. At the same time, it is also the second model equipped with the magazine battery developed by GAC Ai ‘an after AION Y. Undoubtedly, the manufacturer has placed great hopes on this car, which has quite good product strength, and the final pricing will be the key to its success or failure. Let us wait and see.
