"Its on/off button is also integrated into the central control screen. We chose to turn it off... As you can see, the response speed of the central control screen of Xinghan 001 is very fast, almost the same as the response speed of Stardust 3+.
After some safety functions are turned off, in order to prevent forgetting to turn them on, there will be a reminder the next time the car is started. Of course, we can also turn it off completely, and after confirmation, we will not receive reminders in the future.
At the same time, everyone can also see that the control of Xinghan 001 is very light and flexible, the steering feels like you can hit wherever you point it, and the tracking of the rear wheels is also very good, which allows us to have enough confidence when driving..."
While Chen Zifan was chatting, the car turned around in a circle, aimed at the test wall again, and then rushed over with a push of the switch. From the first-person perspective, you can easily see the speed of the car increasing.
By the way, it also gave a good demonstration of what a head-up display looks like, and it looks very useful!
But not many people could think about this anymore. They were really scared when they saw Xinghan 001 running all the way. When they were about to collide, they shouted again:
"Hey! You're so pinched! Look at the road!"
Then there was a "boom"!
The first-person perspective disappeared and turned into a snowflake. At the same time, a lot of dust was raised on the wall that was hit. Under the cover of night, it was impossible to see the specific situation inside from the auditorium.
"what's the situation?"
"Hit?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Didn't you see such a big smoke? It must have hit me! I saw the left car light was broken to the ground, and the airbag also exploded..."
"Damn it! Are you okay?"
"What the hell if something happens to someone, a good press conference might turn into an accident scene?"
"No, we are just selling cars, why are we risking our lives? Now it's okay, let's get rid of it, right?"
"It's a nice car, don't give it to me..."
"Not out yet?"
"It's over..."
"..."
The discussion was getting louder just now, but now the discussion is getting quieter, until finally the entire Xinghai Stadium was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the slowly dispersing smoke.
In fact, how could there be so much smoke in a real crash test? If you think about it, you will know that this is just a cover-up used by Chen Zifan for hype.
Do you understand what "there is no harm when there is smoke"?
Under everyone's gaze, a white long and narrow car light turned on. Through the haze of smoke, the light shadow swayed, making people feel a sense of confidence and fierce domineering! Then why is there only one light? The other one has been scrapped on the spot.
Already…
No matter how hard the Xinghan 001's collision avoidance was, it could not withstand such a powerful impact. The headlights would have to be broken. As the smoke dispersed, the Xinghan 001 after the impact was finally revealed in front of everyone.
As seen by some viewers, Xinghan 001's main and auxiliary airbags all exploded, the side airbags also exploded, the left headlight was shattered on the ground, and a lot of equipment was scattered on the left front of the car.
However, what surprised everyone was that when looking back... starting from about two-thirds of the front of the car, the entire car seemed not to be affected at all, and the left front wheel was only slightly deformed.
Chen Zifan in the car even leisurely deployed the airbag and drove Xinghan 001 to the center of the field, seemingly unharmed at all.
This is indeed the case. Apart from the fact that the airbag protruded into his face and it hurt a little, Chen Zifan was indeed fine, but he had to admit that the airbag protruded into his face and it hurt a little!
He was already scolding Li Yuan in his heart:
"Damn you! Is this the 'advanced airbag' you're talking about? And it's as soft as a butt? I just feel like a 200-pound fat man is sitting on my face!"
However, this little pain had no effect at all. After he stabilized the car, he got out of the car. The depressed audience seemed to be relieved. Under the atmosphere, they all cheered and shouted something.
At first they were shouting casually, but then they all started calling Chen Zifan, Stardust Technology, and Xinghan Zhixing!
Chen Zifan made several gestures in succession to no avail to make the shouting at the scene quieter. Instead, it intensified. The backstage staff were also very helpful and took the opportunity to show a slow-motion replay of the collision on the big screen.
Through the playback, it can be clearly seen that the moment after the collision of Xinghan 001, various safety devices were activated at the same time, and even the bounce of the entire body was very small, and the cab was hardly affected.
This kind of performance is also the best in the 2022 Huabaoyan test. There are really not many cars that can reach the same level. However, the current Huabaoyan has not been established yet and there is no test data.
Xinghan 001 also has no contestants for horizontal comparison, but this still does not hinder the enthusiasm of the audience. What domestic car brands, what trams... they don't care about it now! They only know that Xinghan 001 is awesome!
Very awesome!
The chairman dared to sit in it, do his own tests, and still drive after a crash. Which other brands can do that? It seems that there are indeed... But among the cars that other brands can do, is the Xinghan 001 a cost-effective car?
Can it be bought for 185,800 yuan?
In the eyes of the audience, the performance of the current Xinghan Zhixing is as good as that of the "Century Advertisement" shot by Volvo. But what kind of car is Volvo? What kind of car is Xinghan Zhixing? Can the two be compared together?
And there may be many people who don’t know…
In Chen Zifan's memory, among the large number of car brands tested by Huabao Research Institute, the crash test scores of some Volvo cars were really not good, and were even far lower than crispy Japanese cars of the same level.
Chen Zifan was still a little dissatisfied: "What a pity, if we had higher strength materials..."
The scene effect is even stronger.
The reason why he adopted such a "risky" approach was to forcibly open up a new path for Xinghan 001 and new energy vehicles. In theory, it could be developed slowly, but the reality was that he couldn't wait that long.
Xinghan 001 must enter the automobile market quickly, accurately, and aggressively, disrupt the original fuel vehicle market, and disrupt the product planning and layout of those large automobile companies, so that Xinghan 001 can gain a firm foothold in the same level.
It will also help create the next product!
If the Xinghan 001 hits the market...it will be very difficult for the Xinghan 002 (compact SUV), Xinghan 003 (compact MPV), and Xinghan 005 (entry-level sports car) planned to enter the market to enter the market.
Therefore, while ensuring safety, we used a slightly more radical method to forcefully instill a certain feature of Xinghan 001 into consumers' minds, and then used Stardust Technology's marketing resources to promote it...
How could the sales of Xinghan 001 deteriorate?
The Xinghan press conference here is not over yet, and the marketing department on the other side has already started a publicity campaign.
Is there anything better than this to stir up the heat?
But Xinghan Zhixing will not turn "safety" into a synonym like Volvo, because there are too many "luxury" configurations on Xinghan 001. Safety is just a feature, and I don't know how many others are left.
When the audience calmed down a little and became less enthusiastic than before, Chen Zifan walked to the test car and began to analyze the situation:
"As you can see, when the collision of Xinghan 001 occurred, the main load-bearing parts of the vehicle were the left longitudinal beam of the cabin, the lower part of the passenger compartment and the A-pillar.
In addition to optimizing the body structure design, Xinghan 001 greatly ensures that the collision energy is dispersed throughout the body as much as possible to minimize damage. Its A-pillars and A-pillar patch panels also use thermoforming with a maximum strength of 1600MPa.
Steel ensures sufficient structural strength of the side of the car body in the event of an impact.
It can be realized that the cockpit will not collapse, the steering wheel will not come out, the airbag will not shift, and the occupants will not be squeezed. At the same time, you can also see that Xinghan 001 has a front trunk..."
Looking at the damaged front end of the car, Chen Zifan frowned and immediately changed his product introduction strategy. He first asked the staff to move the car to the edge of the venue, and then he drove a new car over.
“Phew~ Now it’s more symmetrical!
We can see that the front trunk area of Xinghan 001 is not large, but its depth is very deep and the actual storage capacity is very good. It can hold a 20-inch suitcase and scattered items.
We made a special anti-collision treatment around the front trunk to make the front part of the car more regular and able to bear greater impact force!
But this is not all of Xinghan 001. Its side collision prevention and rear-end collision prevention capabilities are also very powerful. However, due to time cost, I will not demonstrate it here. After the press conference, we will show it on the official website of Xinghan Zhixing
Post relevant videos.
We always believe that if a car is produced and the safety of the driver cannot be guaranteed to the greatest extent...then we would rather not sell the car!"
Of course, this maximum degree is the maximum degree within the cost range. It is not reasonable to compare the 50,000 Xinghan Mini with the 5 million Rolls-Royce...
Facts speak louder than words. Once Xinghan 001 crashed on site, no one would doubt its safety factor. Chen Zifan briefly summarized it and stopped bragging about safety. This kind of thing should only be stopped in moderation.
Too much will make you feel annoyed.
Moreover, Xinghan 001 is not only about safety? Driving experience is also very important!
Chen Zifan continued:
“While it is safe, Xinghan 001 is also very functional. In terms of energy configuration, Xinghan 001 is equipped with a 60kWh sodium-lithium battery. After testing, the comprehensive cruising range can reach 515KM.
Based on the characteristics of sodium-lithium batteries, this 60kWh battery only takes 29 minutes and 36 seconds to charge from 0 to 100. The vehicle also provides discharge equipment, which can provide power guarantee for our travels.
Let’s continue back to the first perspective…”
Chen Zifan was so fierce. Not only was he fine after the collision, he also introduced Xinghan 001 from the inside out, even the materials used for the buttons of the electric windows, and emphasized its durability.
After being introduced inside and out, the audience could only hear one idea: Xinghan 001 is absolutely worth the money! The materials used and the configuration are as good as possible within the cost range! Even if it is sold more expensive, it seems to be okay?
Anyway, Xinghan 001 is the first car in the price range of 150,000 to 200,000 yuan in the new energy vehicle market. There are no competitors to refer to. It is quite safe. If it sells for 285,800 yuan, I’m afraid no one will have any objections.
However, Chen Zifan would not do this. He also gave a special explanation: "I said that Xinghan Zhixing is not only to build new energy vehicles, we also want to allow our users to spend the least money and buy the best products at the same price.
Products! Provide the best service!
I know that some consumers may think that 185,800 yuan is too cheap to buy such a car, which makes you feel shameless. You have to curse our products when you see them to show your uniqueness.
It doesn't matter, we respect your choice, because you are not a user of Xinghan Zhixing. Of course, if one day, I mean if, you choose Xinghan Zhixing's products for various reasons.
We will still provide the best products! The best service guarantee! By the way, a car is just a means of transportation. We can choose a car we like within our capabilities, which is already very successful!
Finally, the price of Xinghan 001 is——
185,800 yuan!
Xinghan Zhixing has also achieved in-depth cooperation with XX Auto Insurance, XX Insurance... In other words, Xinghan 001 is also free of insurance in the first year. We can choose one of the above insurance companies and pay insurance in the next year..."
Many consumers have not yet developed a mature concept of consumption towards cars, and are very angry. Sometimes Chen Zifan is unable to keep his mind calm, and even speaks with a strong smell of gunpowder.
But I still need to guide you~
Regarding the purchase tax, different places have different tax standards for new energy vehicles. Chen Zifan cannot be like Xinghan Mini and cover it all at once.
However, the purchase tax for new energy vehicles is definitely much cheaper than that of fuel vehicles, so adding up all the expenses, the landing price of Xinghan 001 is unlikely to exceed 200,000 yuan, and may even be less than 190,000 yuan.
For example, Haicheng…
Of course, there are also products that do not have to pay taxes, and that is the Xinghan 009. This electric motorcycle is positioned as an "urban SUV" but is actually a "tech cruiser". It sells for 35,800 yuan and has no specific displacement...
Just buy insurance~
What? Is the insurance still free?
The selling price is directly equal to the landing price!
Cheap is cheap enough, but as an electric motorcycle... Xinghan 009 has always been controversial since its birth, and some experts are not optimistic about the market prospects of Xinghan 009. This time it is relatively reliable.
Xinghan Zhixing's internal sales estimates for Xinghan 009 are also very average. Although it is very popular nationwide, it is essentially a "fun car" and not a "rigid need". It is normal that sales are not high.
The configuration parameters of Xinghan 009 have been exposed for a long time, so before Chen Zifan introduced the product configuration, he also announced a more important thing: "Xinghan 009 is Xinghan Zhixing's first 'electric motorcycle'.
In order to distinguish it from new energy vehicles such as Xinghan 001, we decided to separate the 'electric motorcycle' into a separate electric motorcycle brand..."
That being said, the brand name and trademark have not changed at all, except that a logo similar to a simple motorcycle will be added to the back of Xinghan Zhixing.
