Exploring 24 Aouita 12: 3 upgrades+new rights and interests, new and old car owners can’t help it.
In the high-end intelligent electric vehicle industry in China, the price range of 250,000 to 400,000 yuan has become the most competitive market among brands. This price range not only has outstanding product features, but also is regarded as the main battlefield of the future high-end smart electric vehicle market by the industry.
As a model supported by Changan Automobile’s many years of automobile manufacturing experience, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s cutting-edge battery technology and Huawei’s intelligent technology, it has demonstrated its profound technical strength since its listing and won excellent user reputation in the market. Since it was launched on November 10th, 2023, the cumulative delivery volume of Aouita 12 has exceeded 10,000 vehicles in just four months, and the order volume has reached an astonishing 40,000 vehicles. In the domestic medium and large pure electric luxury car market segment with the price of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, Aouita 12 ranks first in sales volume with its outstanding performance, and has become the benchmark product in the new energy car market in China.
Nowadays, the 2024 Aouita 12 has not only been added and reduced in price, but also been fully upgraded in three major areas: top luxury, top intelligence and top security, and has begun to be displayed in major sales stores. Xiaobian also went to the store for a field trip at the first time to explore the core upgrade of this new model.
Upgrade 1: Guochuang Design Rejuvenates
Xiaobian visited the Aouita Experience Center in Sihai City, Panyu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Just entering the store, the 2024 Aouita 12 came into view. The staff warmly welcomed me and introduced it to me.
It is understood that Aouita 12 is positioned as a medium-sized and large-sized vehicle, with the length, width and height of 5020×1999×1460(1450)mm respectively. Compared with its size, it has increased in terms of wheelbase, vehicle width and body length. From the point of view of real vehicles, this model has well continued the original design concept of Aouita series, and at the same time strived for innovation in detail handling, incorporating futuristic aesthetics, and at first glance it looks very harmonious and unified at the scene.
The staff told Xiaobian that the 2024 Aouita 12 has an axle length ratio of 0.61, an aspect ratio of 1.38 and a wheel height ratio of 0.514. At the same time, the innovative "chameleon" paint technology has been newly introduced into this model. This unique paint surface can show a dazzling gradient effect from different perspectives, greatly improving the appearance and texture of the vehicle, and Aouita 12, which is equipped with this color in Guangdong, will also enter the store one after another.
The design of the new car’s electronic exterior rearview mirror is particularly eye-catching (presented by the manufacturer and optional by the customer), which is high-tech and practical. The visual attraction of the whole vehicle is significantly improved, and at the same time, the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle is effectively optimized and the wind resistance is reduced.
When invited by the staff to experience in the cockpit, Xiao Bian found that whether it is the electronic rearview mirror outside the car or inside the car, the image is very clear on the screen inside the car and has a very good visual experience.
During the experience, Xiao Bian also clearly felt that the entire cockpit was almost wrapped in advanced materials, and there was no place that did not show its luxury. It is particularly worth mentioning that all the seats in the car are made of NAPPA leather, which is famous for its smooth and delicate touch and provides the passengers with the ultimate comfort experience. At the same time, the standard zero-gravity seat in the front of the vehicle is equipped with 16-way electric adjustment, three-speed heating and ventilation and eight-point massage functions, which provides superior ride comfort for drivers and passengers.
The store is located in the business circle, and there are bustling people outside. In order to better communicate, Xiaobian closed the window. At the moment when the window was closed, Xiaobian obviously felt that the noise inside the car had been largely isolated from the window. The staff said that Aouita 12 effectively created a quiet driving environment by using double-layer sound insulation laminated glass and a unique acoustic package scheme. It is reported that when the vehicle speed reaches 140 km/h, the noise inside the vehicle is only 68 decibels.
In addition, the Aouita 12 was designed with practicality and comfort in mind. Based on the innovative "double energy well" pedal submersible battery technology, a concave pedal area with a depth of about 45 mm was designed under the rear seat of Aouita 12. This design significantly increases the head space of the rear passengers, up to 25 mm, without increasing the height of the car body and maintaining sufficient battery clearance from the ground. Sitting in the back row with Shuang Yi rice space will be more leisurely.
Audiovisually, Aouita 12 is equipped with a high-fidelity CST coaxial speaker with a power of 1200W W. Xiaobian ordered a classic old song on the spot, which can clearly feel the clear transmission and deep echo of every note, as if in a concert hall, and the ambient lights in the car can follow the music rhythm. 32 ambient lights will flow in the front and rear of the car cabin and the door area, weaving a visual and auditory feast of future aesthetics.
Upgrade 2: Re-evolution of intelligent strength
Aouita 12 can be said to be the benchmark work under the HI mode of Huawei, and it is also one of the few models with a starting price of 260,000 yuan, and it is also one of the models with high Chinese content among similar products.
Xiaobian played the 15.6-inch central control panel and the 35.4-inch 4K panoramic widescreen of the 2024 Aouita 12, and the overall fluency can be said to be in the top stream. At the same time, Huawei’s HarmonyOS HarmonyOS 4.0 car system and Huawei ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving assistance system are built in, which further improves the driving experience.
With the consent of the staff, Xiao Bian conducted a test drive on Panyu Avenue. I have to say that Aouita 12 has three laser radars and 29 intelligent driving sensors as standard. It is really very worry-free and labor-saving to turn on the navigation-assisted driving function on high-speed and urban roads. At the same time, it also has the ability of automatic parking and remote control parking, and novices can also be "old drivers". It is worth mentioning that these functions of Aouita 12 do not need to rely on high-precision maps, and have covered many road types in the country, which can provide NCA-level intelligent driving experience in urban areas and bring users a safer and more convenient driving experience.
According to reports, Aouita 12 offers four driving modes: energy saving, comfort, exercise and personalization. Xiao Bian thinks that the comfort mode is more suitable for daily use. Xiaobian started in the default comfort mode during the test drive. Under this mode, the vehicle accelerated steadily and rapidly, especially in the starting and medium-speed stages, and performed very well. Due to the large traffic volume in the city, Xiao Bian did not experience the sports mode, but the staff told Xiao Bian that the power output of Aouita 12 would be greatly enhanced, and when the accelerator pedal is deeply stepped on, the powerful propulsion can make the driver feel a sense of continuous acceleration.
At present, the reliability and user trust of Aouita Intelligent Driving Technology have been proved by the high frequency use of its intelligent driving function and the accumulated intelligent driving mileage of more than 44 million kilometers. Xiaobian’s test drive of this car has just passed the OTA upgrade. The staff said that the upgrade optimized most functions of the vehicle, such as optimizing the traffic capacity of tidal lane and bus lanes, and adding a new lateral obstacle collision prevention system (LOCP). At the same time, in order to ensure that users often use new products, Aouita will also upgrade OTA several times this year to ensure that vehicle functions can be improved and optimized.
Upgrade 3: Safe travel is more worry-free
To say that the most attractive upgrade of the new car is Aouita 12′ s global 800V high-voltage platform, the 5C fast-charging power battery loaded in the new car can be quickly charged in a very short time (only 30 minutes from 0% to 80%), and the battery has successfully passed more than 150 special safety and performance tests, meeting the five-star safety standards.
In terms of safety, the 2024 model of Aouita 12 also performed well. The model is equipped with 19 intelligent active safety configurations, and with the support of three laser radars, a four-layer perception system is built, including a variety of full-speed AEB function matrices such as GAEB, RAEB and LAEB, which realize 360-degree surrounding anti-collision protection, surpassing most mainstream luxury BBA brands. In terms of passive safety, Aouita 12 adopts a cage-type car body structure mixed with steel and aluminum, and more than 80% of the car body uses aviation-grade aluminum and high-strength steel, providing a solid protective barrier for passengers.
Brand-new equity: equity Double
When returning to the store after the test drive, the 2024 Aouita 12 in the hall has attracted many tourists to stop and watch, but besides being attracted by the appearance, the most attractive thing for consumers is the brand-new double rights and interests of Aouita 12.
The staff informed that consumers who order new cars before April 30, 2024 will enjoy four time-limited policies and five basic rights and interests, with a maximum discount of 32,000 yuan, that is, the five models only need 26.58-376,800 yuan after the price range is discounted. The following small series has compiled detailed preferential rights for everyone.
Among them, the limited rights and interests are as follows:
1. Consumers only need to pay a deposit of 5,000 yuan, and they can deduct up to 27,000 yuan when buying a car (700 three-laser rear-drive smart version is not applicable);
2. The first car owner will enjoy the warranty service of the lifelong three-electricity system;
3. For the designated models, the manufacturer shall provide the front double-zero gravity seat with a value of 10,000 yuan (limited to 700 three-laser rear-drive luxury edition and 650 three-laser four-wheel drive performance edition);
4. The down payment ratio is as low as 15%, and you can choose a low-interest financial plan with a maximum of 60 periods, with an average annual rate as low as 2.4%.
The basic rights and interests are as follows:
1. Five-year or 120,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, and a longer-term eight-year or 160,000-kilometer three-power system warranty;
2. Free road rescue service with unlimited mileage for ten years (any mileage and unlimited rescue distance);
3. Car owners will also enjoy free basic traffic of car networking for life and 10G cockpit entertainment traffic per month;
4. Give an ADS advanced function package, including a number of intelligent driving assistance functions (such as high-speed lane cruise assistance, high-speed intelligent driving navigation assistance, urban lane cruise assistance, intelligent parking assistance and remote parking assistance).
This series of policies not only covers new customers, but also old customers will not be ignored. According to the official statement of Aouita, existing car owners will enjoy the advanced intelligent driving function of Huawei ADS for free for life.
After a half-day shop visit, it is not difficult to see that Aouita 12 has made significant changes in technological innovation and design aesthetics. The 2024 Aouita 12 is the epitome of Changan’s manufacturing capability and Huawei’s technology. With the new allocation, the rights and interests have doubled, which proves that it is worth the money. I believe that Aouita will continue to polish the label of high-end intelligent electric vehicles in China in the future.
