With the development of independent brands, leading companies have begun to enter the era of structural vehicle construction. Among them, Geely, which was the first to start, has launched a number of models under the CMA architecture. models, and Great Wall Motors, which recently released the Lemon platform, has also successively launched models based on the Haval and WEY brands. Chery, which is famous for its technical strength, is certainly not willing to lag behind.
At the just-opened Beijing Auto Show, Chery Xingtu released the M3X Mars architecture. Based on this architecture, the new generation of Xingtu TXL and Xingtu VX290T were simultaneously unveiled and started pre-sales. Among them, the pre-sale price range of the new generation TXL is 150,000 yuan to 180,000 yuan, and the pre-sale price range of the Xingtu VX? 290T model is 170,000 yuan to 180,000 yuan.
"M" means Mars, witnessing mankind's endless exploration of the unknown; "3" generates all things, representing the diverse derivatives of Xingtu products; "X" indicates infinite possibilities. The M3X Mars architecture adopts the world's leading modular construction concept and has strong derivative capabilities. It is compatible with A~C-class SUVs/sedans/MPVs and new energy models, and consists of four components: Safety Nebula, Zhihui Galaxy, Comfort Star and Power Star Core It is structured with large core advantage modules.
The development capabilities of modular architecture fundamentally define the comprehensive competitiveness of car companies to quickly respond to the market, shorten the research and development cycle, and improve product quality. The well-known Volkswagen MQB platform and Toyota TNGA architecture provide guarantee for these two companies to quickly launch products in various market segments. Moreover, the modular architecture can also greatly reduce the cost of the company and make the products more competitive. power and premium power.
For independent brands, creating a modular architecture is like opening up the two channels of Ren and Du. It has epoch-making significance and can help companies enter a new era of car manufacturing. This is why the head The reason why independent brands are rushing to invest in building their own modular architecture.
According to Xingtu official introduction, the M3X Mars architecture integrates super five-star safety standards into every Xingtu model: the cage-type energy-absorbing space capsule has a high-strength steel coverage ratio of up to 78%, and even in the B-pillar 1500MPa ultra-high-strength hot-formed steel is used at all costs in key parts such as -NCAP, IIHS and other top international safety standards.
The M3X Mars architecture is equipped with Lion’s most powerful brain and L2.5 level autonomous driving assistance system. Among them, the Lion Zhiyun system’s Intel? 4-core 2.0GHz ultra-fast processor and Baidu OS system realize deep face recognition, multi-mode interaction, AR enhanced real-scene navigation and other functions; the “Mobile Sentinel” L2.5 level automatic The driving assistance system incorporates millimeter-wave radar detection technology, neural network algorithms, and camera systems with deep learning capabilities.
The power star core is the most important module in the M3X Mars architecture and can be fully adapted to a variety of power units such as traditional fuel and new energy. At present, the third-generation ACTECO engines including 1.6TGDI and 2.0TGDI have been fully equipped on Xingtu models, and hybrid powertrains will be launched in the future.
