Visit the Xilis Beijing User Center. What’s going on with Xylis, which became popular thanks to Huawei?

In early May, Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5 was officially launched and sold. As a product of in-depth cooperation with Huawei, with Huawei’s technical support and channel coverage, as of the 11th, Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection The SF5 has received more than 8,000 orders, which is enough to prove the power of Huawei's brand effect.

Of course, in addition to the blessing of the Huawei brand, the Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5 is equipped with the HUAWEI HiCar full-scenario intelligent interconnection system, the vehicle three-dimensional surround system HUAWEI SOUND, and the Huawei DriveONE three-in-one electric drive system.

However, what is this car like? On May 11, EV Know Editor actually visited the Cyrus Beijing User Center to help consumers find answers.

Let me first share my overall feelings after the experience: the car is made of high-quality materials, but the seating space is average, the vehicle tuning is sporty, and the power parameters are first-rate.

Marketing and promotion still need to be driven by Huawei

There is currently only one Cyrus user center in Beijing where you can see Cyrus Huawei Smart SF5, and the location is not in the city center, which greatly affects Due to the lack of customer flow, EV knew that it was a working day when the editor went to the user center, and there were very few people looking at the car. There was only one solitary new car in the huge store, a few people looking at the car, and there were also few staff.

In addition, the editor also saw that the posters and other promotional materials in the store have not been updated, and there are no more promotional slogans for new cars except for a standing sign. This also shows the shortcomings of traditional car companies in marketing. Car companies that have been constrained by traditional marketing thinking do not seem to have the courage and willingness to make drastic changes. They are unwilling to abandon their original ideas and systems, and even face the gradual Generation Z, who have become the main purchasing power, are still confused, but I believe that with Huawei taking the lead, the situation will improve.

Regarding the recent experience store plan, the store clerk told the editor that eight more will be opened in Beijing from mid-May to the end of May, all of which will be displayed in Huawei stores. In addition, the car can be picked up about one and a half months after ordering.

The product details are well grasped

In fact, for this car, the current popularity in the market is still acceptable. EV Know Editor learned that at the Shanghai Huawei Experience Store Center, the passenger flow is maintained There are about 3,000 people in a single day. I believe that after the Huawei Beijing Experience Store opens to view the car, it will attract a large number of consumers to view the car. So what are the advantages of this car? The following editor will discuss the appearance, interior, power and other aspects. Let’s talk about this car.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the car are 4700/1930/1625 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2875 mm. Compared with BYD Tang DM and Weilai ES6 of the same level, there is no difference in size. Advantages. The actual ride also highlights the cramped size, especially in the rear headroom. With the 160cm height of the tester, after sitting upright, there is only a very tight remaining space for two fists. Fortunately, the legroom is not bad. , coupled with the fact that the sports car-style seats have quite good wrapping properties, the shape is concave inward, and the headrests are integrated, the comfort is quite good.

The interior is very simple, with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 17-inch central control screen occupying the C position. The workmanship and materials used can be described as conscientious. All parts that the body touches, including the storage compartment under the door panel, are covered with soft materials. The interior of the storage compartment is covered with flannel to prevent items from making noise while driving. The rear row not only provides a USB interface, but also provides a 12V power interface and a 220V three-phase power supply. Such a thoughtful and thoughtful design is very impressive.

The new car uses the HUAWEI HiCar full-scenario intelligent interconnection system provided by Huawei. This system is developed based on Huawei's HarmonyOS. It has cooperated with many car companies and can provide full-scenario intelligent interconnection of people, cars and homes. It supports switching between mobile phones and the large central control screen in the car at any time and anywhere, such as navigation, music and other applications. The songs you listened to on the mobile phone before getting in the car can be played seamlessly in the car. After getting off the car, the map will automatically switch to the mobile phone and continue from parking. Navigating to the destination is equivalent to directly copying the mobile application ecosystem on Huawei mobile phones to the car. However, according to a salesperson at Thalys, new cars are not yet equipped with this system. The UI is just remade by Huawei based on the old model, and it will not be upgraded to the Hongmeng system until June.

In terms of configuration, the Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5 is quite rich: seat heating and ventilation, 11-speaker sound system, head-up display, wireless charging, panoramic sunroof, Amap navigation and 360 panoramic images, as well as a full set of L2 level assisted driving is equipped. Compared with the similarly priced Model 3, the performance is even more outstanding.

Among them, 11 audio units of the audio system have been tuned by HUAWEI SOUND’s original technical core team and acoustic experts. HUAWEI SOUND smart speaker is one of Huawei's main audio products. It is characterized by shocking and deep bass. Friends who have used it have given this speaker high praise.

During the store visit, we also actually experienced the audio in the car. In the price range of 200,000, the sound effect is pretty good, and the sound insulation of the whole car is very hard (double). Laminated glass, sound insulation strips, etc. have been spared no effort to install), you can indeed get a good listening experience, but don't expect too much, after all, it is not the Sound of Berlin, and it does not have the surround effect and sound density of 23 speakers.

In terms of power, the Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5 is considered the leader among its competitors. It adopts the principle of extended-range electric power and is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine as a range-extended engine based on electric motor drive. The vehicle has a pure electric range of 180 kilometers, and when the range extender is started and uses all oil, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's comprehensive fuel consumption is less than 6.3L/100km. When the power is insufficient, the range extender burns oil to generate electricity. The manufacturer advertises that the cruising range exceeds 1,000 kilometers with full fuel and full power. The four-wheel drive model is equipped with two high-performance motors. Cyrus independently developed the Huawei DriveONE three-in-one electric drive with SEP200 motor rear axle. The total power of this power system is 405 kilowatts (551 horsepower) and the maximum output torque is 820 N. rice.

With the blessing of this system, the acceleration response speed is a piece of cake for the Cyrus Huawei Smart Select SF5. From the data point of view, the acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is 4.68 seconds, which is quite good. Unfortunately, test drives of new cars are currently not available in Beijing, only older models.

Looking back at the previously released Huawei DriveONE three-in-one electric drive system, it shocked the industry as soon as it was unveiled, and it was finally launched on the Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5. This is the industry's first hyper-converged power domain solution. Through the high integration of seven major components: motor, MCU, PDU, OBC, DCDC, reducer, and BCU, the system not only achieves deep integration of mechanical components and power components, but also Intelligence is brought into the electric drive system, realizing end-cloud collaboration and control unification. For example, charging for 10 minutes can drive 200 kilometers, and the centralized flat ODA architecture shortens the upgrade time from 10 minutes to 30 seconds. More importantly, this system is all self-developed by Huawei, and the core technology (electrical control) is in its own hands.

In terms of NVH, Cyrus Huawei Intelligent Selection SF5 adopts the path of large-displacement engine, high-power drive motor and large-capacity battery pack at the same time, and combines the control of range extender, battery and motor through a large number of practical methods. Scene simulation and calculation optimization, the matching logic is more reasonable, coupled with the sound insulation details we mentioned earlier, this gives users a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.

Thanks to the leading intelligent extended-range electric drive technology, SF5 can provide two major working modes and six intelligent working states for different working conditions: pure electric direct drive, extended-range power generation direct drive, Extended range power generation drive charging, combined power supply status (extended range power generation battery), external power supply, and energy recovery status.

External power supply includes camp power supply mode (V2L) and rescue power supply mode (V2V). Among them, the camp power supply mode (V2L) can reversely provide 3.3kW 220V AC power to commonly used small household appliances such as electric ovens, lights, speakers, projectors, and electric kettles through the slow charging port, making it convenient for car owners to go to the countryside for picnics and camping. The rescue power replenishment mode (V2V) can provide 20kW of DC power in reverse through the fast charging port, and can be used as a temporary rescue vehicle for other pure electric models. This is not a function unique to Cyrus. It sounds very practical, but whether it is actually useful or not requires further testing after we get the test car.

Summary: My short visit to the store gave me a new understanding of the Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5. Overall, it is better than expected. We will conduct a more comprehensive evaluation after we get the new car. What makes me very regretful is that traditional car companies still need to speed up their new marketing and services, and even need to break the status quo before rebuilding. This is much more difficult than the new forces building from 0 to 1.
