Today we're going to experience the RX5 eMAX, which focuses on technology and the "smart cabin". Before that, let's use some keywords to briefly introduce the car.
Rongwei RX5?eMAX model highlights:
Positioned as a compact SUV, with dimensions of 4647/1891/1725mm, and a wheelbase of 2760mm Based on the RX5?MAX, it adopts a plug-in hybrid, with a pure-electric NEDC range of 70km Adopting a lithium-ion ESS battery with a capacity of 16.6kWh. 16.6kWh Equipped with a 1.5T engine + a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 90kW, and a 10-speed EDU gearbox The powertrain has a maximum power of 214kW?and an acceleration time of 7.8s from 0-100km/h The suspension system is in the form of a front MacPherson-type independent suspension + a rear multilink independent suspensionThe RX5? eMAX*** is divided into three configurations: the RX5?eMAX?500PHEV?4G Connected Deluxe Edition, the RX5?eMAX?500PHEV?Intelligent Cockpit Flagship Edition, and the RX5?eMAX?500PHEV Intelligent Cockpit Supreme Edition. The post-subsidy price is 195,800 yuan, 215,800 yuan and 235,800 yuan respectively.
In official terms, the entry-level model priced at 195,800 yuan is equipped with a "luxury cabin", while the 215,800-235,800 yuan mid-range and high-end models are upgraded to an "AICS Intelligent Cockpit". Intelligent cabin is a variety of technological configurations and practical functions integrated into the cabin system, we first look at the configuration one by one, and then synthesize the overall feeling of use. Today we experience the top version of the RX5?eMAX?500PHEV intelligent cabin Supreme Edition.
First of all, the "smart cabin" is not just a smart configuration, the interior foundation largely determines whether the superstructure is solid.
The RX5?eMAX comes standard with zero-pressure leather power seats, electric 6-way adjustment for the driver's seat, electric 4-way adjustment for the passenger's seat, and manual lumbar support adjustment for the driver's seat. The middle and high end versions equipped with the intelligent cockpit feature memory for the main driver's seat, memory for the exterior mirrors, heated front seats, air purifier, etc., and the top end version has perforated leather seats.
Leather multi-function steering wheel, shift paddles (kinetic energy recovery intensity adjustment), Starship 47.8° best grip gear lever, 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel, 14.3-inch center control screen are also standard equipment. The interior of the RX5?eMAX is covered by a variety of materials with a premium feel, and is also equipped with features such as 256-color Follow Your Heart Overflow Interactive Ambient Lighting and a BOSE Immersive Stereo Sound System.
Looking closely at every interior detail, there are no hard edges or corners, and every detail of the center console, audio sound holes, and knobs has a rounded chamfer design. In terms of details, the interior of this car can satisfy the extremely picky user for the design details of the demanding.
The first step of the intelligent experience begins with the SKY?EYE system. After the driver who has recorded Face?ID sits in the driver's seat, fasten the seat belt and touch the brake pedal to start the vehicle. As the vehicle defaults to electric drive during the start-up phase, the start-up process is quiet and senseless, with clear visual feedback from the instrument panel and the center screen in-vehicle system.
The hardware foundation of the SKY?EYE system is the camera located above the rearview mirror. In the test, we let the driver wear glasses, sunglasses, hats and even eye masks. The camera still accurately recognized testers wearing glasses and sunglasses.
When the hat and eyepatch substantially covered the driver's face, the meter temporarily did not display the facial recognition graphic. But within 1 second of removing the coverings, the system will turn on the recognition. Immediately after removing the hood and fastening the seat belt, the vehicle can be started by pressing the brake pedal.
If the system recognizes that the current driver is not the owner of the vehicle, it will enter the privacy protection mode, and system information such as history, search terms, and car information system will be kept private.
Through the dashboard, you can experience the signature AR Live Navigation of the RWD family. The dashboard will project a live view of the street with digital virtual auxiliary lines to add technology to the driving process.
With one-touch authorization by the main driver, the RX5?eMAX can realize the BYOD multi-user on-the-go control function, where each passenger can use their phone to control navigation, multimedia, air-conditioning, windows, sunroof and other functions other than driving. Taking navigation as an example, if you need to change the navigation destination or passing point on the way, the rear passenger can search and set the destination and passing point on the cell phone and send it to the car system, and the planned route can be directly displayed on the big screen.
The Internet Vehicle Intelligence System 3.0-Pro on the RX5?eMAX includes a map of charging piles, which provides users with the location and status of charging piles. During the charging process, the system can also provide information on neighborhood food and other services.
The RX5?eMAX's flash memory assistant is also an eye-catching feature. After waking up the car's voice by saying "Hello Zebra", you can say "Remind me to buy perfume at 4 p.m." and the system will record the flashback. After meeting the time conditions, the car system will be broadcast in the form of voice; even if the owner is not in the car, the reminder will be in the form of short messages on the cell phone to remind in a timely manner.
Rongwei RX5?eMAX has a driving style adaptive system, the system learning time is only 20-30 minutes, can be based on Face?ID will be driving habits recorded and saved. The adaptive content mainly includes driving style, throttle response strength, and fuel-electricity ratio.
Based on the Personalized Big Data Navigation 3.0 system, the navigation within the RX5?eMAX in-vehicle system is comparable to the goodness of cell phone navigation. The in-vehicle system navigation can display different animation effects in the interface depending on the weather conditions, and it can also be y integrated with IEM Intelligent Energy Management.
In IEM energy management, the vehicle power form can be adjusted not only according to the single basis of speed, but also according to navigation information, real-time road conditions. Not every driver is an experienced driver who understands the characteristics of PHEVs, and it's likely that white drivers don't know enough about the respective advantages of oil and electric drives, so using an internal combustion engine in congested road conditions boosts fuel consumption and consumes too much electricity at highway speeds for no good reason.
The RX5?eMAX also allows you to use your family's image to generate an AI image for the car system, which can be done by uploading a photo through the mobile app. Although the AI image may not all look similar, but the system can be customized according to the needs of the image of this item, but still a plus.
The Zebra voice control system based on NUANCE+Aliyun ET can also support entertainment functions such as idiom solitaire game, crazy question and answer game, fast online short video recording, and in-car karaoke.
The Intelligent Cockpit System is based on a higher-quality, design-flawless interior, and combines hardware such as the super large screen and facial recognition system with software systems such as the AR Live View Navigation System, the Big Data Navigation System, the IEM Intelligent Energy Management System, and the flash assistant to create a more cozy and usable cockpit texture.
The plug-in hybrid system of the RX5?eMAX consists of a 1.5TGI mid-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged engine and a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Together with the 10-speed EDU electric drive transmission, HCU hybrid power central controller, and iEM energy management system, the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the RX5?eMAX is only 7.8s.
During the test process in which the hourly speed is increased with different acceleration for many times, the RX5?eMAX can show completely smooth acceleration performance, with no stuttering in the interface between the internal combustion engine and the motor power. without any stuttering in the connection.
