As a new force in automobile manufacturing, Xpeng Motors has won the attention of smart car consumers with a Tucki P7. As a listed company, it is particularly important to expand the product line and increase the sales volume, so Tucki P5, which pays more attention to home, joined the product army of Xpeng Motors at this time.
Appearance: lidar+leapfrog size
I still remember that when I first saw Tucki P7 a few years ago, I was attracted by its sci-fi appearance. Seeing this Tucki P5 now is as unforgettable as it was then. Tucki P5 is not a low-profile version of Tucki P7, but a more home-oriented version. Tucki P7 pays more attention to sports performance, while Tucki P5 pays more attention to technology and space.
Like Tucki P7, Tucki P5 inherited the design of "X- lightsaber", and used many X-shaped elements in the front face, such as the shapes on both sides of headlights and front bumper, which reflected a geek style everywhere.
This time, Tucki P5 does not provide black body color, all colors are jumping style, just like the car we actually shot, it is a very warm and trendy blue.
"X element" penetrating headlight group adopts LED light source, adopts the same intelligent interactive light language as P7, and the acousto-optic linkage supports user's customization.
One of the biggest highlights of Tucki P5 this time is the only model (Weilai ET7 or Futures) with laser radar installed on the production car. Although it is provided as an option or only as a top model, Tucki P5 equipped with laser radar can realize the NGP function of urban roads.
Through the whole vehicle's lidar, 32 sensors and 13 cameras, Tucki P5 can be equipped with XPILOT3.5 automatic driving assistance system, which can achieve centimeter-level high-precision ranging, long detection distance and higher spatial resolution unaffected by ambient light, thus ensuring higher-order driving assistance functions such as FCW/AEB/ACC to be more comfortable and safe in high-speed driving.
The urban NGP function covers urban expressways, urban trunk roads and secondary trunk roads connected with expressways on the basis of the NGP function of Tucki P7 expressway in the early stage, and has the traffic light capacity (traffic light recognition, right turn and unprotected left turn), overtaking capacity in urban road conditions, customized car following capacity, automatic speed limit adjustment capacity and point-to-point capacity around the island.
The brand-new memory parking function in the parking lot improves the performance. With the help of radar and camera, vehicles can park automatically, and with the help of laser radar, difficult scenes such as overtaking, bypassing and avoiding pedestrians can be completed.
The side lines of the car body are relatively straight, and too many complicated designs are adopted. Especially in the position of C-pillar, the triangular window has a large area, which ensures the lighting in the back row, and the black decorative strip behind the triangular window also lengthens the visual effect. Tucki P5 has a body length of 4808mm and a wheelbase of 2768mm.
There are charging ports on the left and right fenders to support fast charging. It only takes a cup of afternoon tea to charge 30% to 80% of the electricity. In addition, the battery capacity of Tucki P5 is unknown, but judging from the cruising range of NEDC 600km, the battery capacity will not be too small.
The hub is petal-shaped, black and silver, and the size is 18 inch. Tyre adopts Michelin's Hao Yue 3ST series, which pays attention to quietness and comfort and is not explosion-proof. The tire width is 2 15mm, and the flat rate is 50. Floating caliper is used for front and rear wheels.
The rear of the car adopts the same family-style design as Tucki P7, and the penetrating taillights are highly recognizable. Different from Tucki P7, Tucki P5 does not use split taillights, but all of them are integrated together, with a stronger sense of integrity.
The Tucki P5 is also equipped with a solar smart roof. The high-performance solar film covers the dark area of the roof, which can ventilate the car when parking in the open air, and charge the battery in the car when driving, without affecting the vision of the sunroof. The car screen can check the power in real time (not equipped for real-time shooting models).
Tucki P5 adopts front McPherson rear torsion beam dependent suspension with front and rear driving power layout, and the body structure is load-bearing.
As the third car of Tucki brand, Tucki P5 combines all the good design concepts of Tucki and adds some unique functions. The configuration and functions of lidar and solar charging board also make it smarter.
Interior: home design+the strongest car machine
The interior of Tucki P5 adopts the design of a ring-star cockpit, and a large number of straight and vertical central control cars are simple but not simple, which once again embodies the "geek" spirit. The combination of blue leather, black soft material and white leather seat gives people a very warm feeling.
The steering wheel is a three-spoke design, the outer ring is wrapped in leather, and there is a perforated design. The left and right sides are multi-function buttons, the left side is the adjustment button for driving assistance, and the right side is the multimedia and trunk opening button.
The LCD instrument panel is 10.25 inch, which is the same as Tucki P7. Excellent display effect, high resolution and rich information displayed. Even under strong light, you can still see clearly, and there is almost no reflection.
Tucki P5 is also equipped with an infrared monitoring system to monitor drivers' driving conditions (whether they are tired or dangerous). This time, Tucki P5' s car audio system also has a lifting tweeter with excellent sound quality.
The highlight of Tucki P5 racing car is the car engine system. Tucki P5 adopts the third generation Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship digital cockpit platform to form an intelligent digital interactive cockpit with Xmart OS 3.0 as the core, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8 155P chips, with 7nm manufacturing technology and 8-core processors, and its performance is three times that of the previous generation. Therefore, in the process of use, the fluency of the system is obviously improved, and there is basically no delay in menu interaction.
The brand-new Xmart OS 3.0 system is equipped with the only "full-scene intelligent voice" at the same level, with more than 100 car applications, and the application types are very rich, including children's growth apps: picture books with fish, Qatar stories, pocket stories and so on. In-vehicle system supports intelligent evolution of OTA. The UI of the new car system has been optimized, which not only makes the menu switch smooth, but also makes the use logic simpler and clearer.
Tucki P5 is also equipped with a panoramic image system, with a total of 13 cameras, and the strongest Bluetooth numeric key function at the same level, which can judge the user's position through Bluetooth positioning, and realize the functions of automatically unlocking and starting the vehicle when approaching, automatically locking when leaving, and unlocking without induction.
There is a special cell phone area under the center console. The mobile phone is stable when it is put in, and it is not afraid of shaking when it is opened fiercely. It supports wireless charging function. There are independent air conditioning outlets in the back row, as well as USB-A and USB-C power interfaces.
Space: the widest and most flexible at the same level.
Besides lidar and intelligence, Tucki P5 also put forward the concept of "23-hour intelligent third space". The front seats are spacious and comfortable, and NAPPA leather feels very delicate. It has the functions of seat heating and seat ventilation, and the front seats also support full leveling electric adjustment.
A beautiful passenger with a height of 170cm sat in the front row and adjusted his seat to the lowest position. The remaining space in the head is one punch and four fingers, the seat feels good and the front view is wide.
The huge rear space is amazing, and the rear seats are made of the same advanced materials as the front seats, which are very comfortable to touch and sit on. The rear seat also has a central armrest and a four-way adjustable headrest, which is very comfortable.
With the front seat position unchanged, the remaining space on the hind legs is about three palms, and the remaining space on the head is very spacious with one punch and four fingers.
The platform is almost flat, so it is not a problem to take another passenger in the middle. The trunk volume is about 450 liters, and the rear backrest does not support falling down. The opening mode is manual.
According to their own preferences and needs, Tucki P5 car owners can choose to install the 47-inch exclusive curtain, projector (which can be connected to the car stereo), robe, car refrigerator, multifunctional table and intelligent fragrance system customized by the official factory, so as to truly stay in the car for 23 hours without charging and turning off the fire. What attracts me most is that the DJI Mavic 2 Pro UAV can be controlled by the central control vehicle, and can explore, follow, hover, or operate by voice control.
In Tucki P5, the proportion of high-strength steel is as high as 44%, and the proportion of ultra-high-strength steel is 15%. Hot-formed steel beams of 1.500 MPa are used in key collision parts such as front collision beam, front wall cross beam, A-pillar and B-pillar. The safety design of battery technology without heat dissipation can better manage thermal runaway and ensure that the battery does not catch fire. The battery also supports IP68 super waterproof. After the vehicle has been immersed in water for 48 hours, the battery pack can still work normally.
Edit abstract
As the first car after the official listing of Tucki brand, Tucki P5 has a very sacred mission. The birth of Tucki P5 has further promoted the independent new energy vehicle market in China to form a "three-legged" situation (Tucki, Weilai and Ideal). From the product point of view, Tucki P5 has a fashionable appearance and outstanding performance in smart cars. In addition, the concept of "the third space" also ensures the driving comfort of traditional cars, and the status of being the first in the city to be equipped with laser radar and automatic driving system also makes Tucki P5 come from an extraordinary background. Next, I just hope to test drive to P5 in Tucki as soon as possible, and experience the charm of Tucki XPILOT 3.5 autopilot assistance system and city NGP.
