Bitauto's original Nezha S is the first model built by Nezha Motors based on its self-developed Shanhai platform. It was launched on 7 on 31 span> will be officially launched on May 1, with a guide price of 199,800-338,800 yuan (this price will be implemented until December 31, 2022), and delivery will begin in the fourth quarter of this year. At this Chengdu Auto Show, Nezha S also launched the nearly-delivery version of its smart cockpit system for the first time, and we also brought you an early experience.
The interior of NezhaS adopts the simple technological style popular in current new energy vehicles. The officially announced "four screens" are: 17.6 inches ultra-thin< span>2.5KCentral control screen, AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display system, 12.3 exclusive audio and video screen for the front passenger and 12.3 hidden instrument panel. These four screens can cover driving, control Cars, entertainment and other needs. Next we will experience these four screens one by one.
The design of the multi-function steering wheel adopts a wheel design similar to Tesla, and there is nothing wrong with the feel and convenience.
Different from many current models that are making LCD instrument panels larger and larger, Nezha S uses a digital display dial. The long and narrow design has good concealment, and the color scheme is black with white characters. It is also easy to read information.
The size of AR-HUD is much larger than that of ordinary models, and many functions of the full LCD instrument panel have been moved to this system. In addition, this AR-HUD system also has a snow mode. After switching, the font color will change from white to blue. The display effect is better on ice and snow roads. You can use the large central control screen to or voice control to switch.
The 17.6-inch central control screen is considered huge even today, and both the display effect and the design and layout of UI are in line with current fashion trends and most usage habits. The overall quality is very high.
Another point that needs to be noted is that the system we experienced this time is still a test version. There are still some differences from the final delivery version in terms of stability and convenience, but it is very close to the delivery version.
The "widgets" at the bottom of the main interface can be customized according to the user's preferences. Some commonly used functions can be set as "widgets" to make daily use more convenient.
Driving mode and style adjustment are integrated on the same page. You can adjust the driving mode, braking style, steering assist and kinetic energy recovery intensity according to your own needs, and you can turn on the single pedal mode. The same is true for other controls. Similar functions are all on the same page, which is very convenient to use and allows smooth interaction between the user and the smart cockpit.
The entertainment function is divided into two parts: "high-quality applications" and "mini programs". Since it is a test version, there are not many Apps in the exhibition car. The final delivery version supports downloading from the application market. Users can download their favorite App according to their needs.
Looking at the "Mini Programs" interface again, many of the mini programs in it should actually be regarded as App. The types are also very rich, enough to cover the needs of various life scenarios, and can be customized according to their own needs. Add as required.
Nowadays, many new energy vehicle users are keen on watching TV shows or taking a rest in the car, and the large screen of Nezha S has excellent display effects. Unfortunately, this screen cannot be rotated, so the maximum screen size is about the same as that of the iPad mini, which I personally feel is a bit wasteful.
NezhaS has 21 acoustic units and 12 main speakers, with excellent audio-visual effects. The front headrests also have built-in headrest speakers and have multiple modes. For example, in driving mode, calls and navigation are played only by the headrest speakers of the main driver and will not affect other passengers in the car. When the co-pilot passenger is watching a TV show, he can also set it to the co-pilot private mode, which will not affect the main driver's driving.
While watching a video, we can also pull out the shortcut function bar on the left to perform some operations, which is very convenient.
The entertainment screen on the passenger side also has rich functions. It can not only watch videos, but also view maps and use small programs.
The 12.3-inch screen also has excellent display effects, and the surface has been treated so that it is basically non-reflective. It is not too fun to watch TV shows while driving long distances.
The audio mode adjustment can also be controlled on the passenger screen. For many friends who are used to taking a nap in the car, the driver and passenger can have no influence on each other, which is very user-friendly. In addition, according to engineers, the delivery version may also add Bluetooth connection function. When the Bluetooth headset is connected, the effect will be even better.
Finally, let’s take a look at NezhaS’s smart voice assistant, its wake-up speed is less than 0.4 seconds, and the average response speed of online commands is less than 1.8 seconds. It can be said that the coverage is greater than 99%. In addition, it has been specially optimized for false wake-ups, reducing the probability to 1 times /15 hours.
Editor's comment: After half a day of experience, NezhaS's smart cockpit system is among the best in domestic new energy models in terms of the system's smoothness, operating logic, and smooth interaction. Be among the best. This is definitely a powerful addition to a medium-to-large new energy sedan that focuses on the price range of 200,000-270,000.
