What is the difference between the Porsche Cayenne with "three screens" and the new domestic forces?

Last week, the information of two new cars that were supposed to be irrelevant happened to collide, which made me see a very interesting phenomenon.

One is the 2024 Porsche Cayenne, and the other is the Lan Tu spotlight.

Porsche, with its pure German luxury car pedigree, has carved its brand image of high-end, luxury and sports into the mind of every car enthusiast through 74 years of glorious history.

Lan Tu, a new car-making force in China, was founded on 20 18 and released in 2020. With the support of Dongfeng Group, Lan Tu is committed to becoming a luxury brand in China, and it is still a fledgling challenger.

There is no intersection between the two brands, but their product goals are the same. Just last week, the new Porsche Cayenne announced the official interior map. The biggest highlight is that the central control uses "three screens", which is right on the map.

At the same time, Lan Tu Zhuiguang released three short videos full of gimmicks in succession, demonstrating its powerful mechanical quality, which is also a traditional strength of Porsche.

Porsche, whose mechanical quality is well known, borrowed new forces and built a big screen in the car. However, the new domestic forces that have been sprayed with big screens have demonstrated their mechanical hard power in accordance with the routines of traditional luxury brands.

This is not the decline of morality, nor the distortion of human nature, but the mark left by the wheel of the times rolling forward.

Stop laughing at the "new three big things"

Let's take a look at the new Porsche cayenne. The popularity of "adding money to Cayenne" on the Internet fully proves how successful this car system was in the past. Although it is not as totem as 9 1 1, it is the best-selling and most successful model of Porsche.

Therefore, when Cayenne played a "triple screen" despised by die-hard fans, the disappointment on the Internet can be imagined.

I have to say that the damage of the screen to the sense of interior design is very serious. Cayenne looks like Li ONE when the triple screen is displayed. However, this is the general trend, just like the gorgeous Nokia flip/slide phone is replaced by a simple and rude big-screen iPhone.

This is not because Porsche is in a mess, but because of the double pressure of strict fuel consumption regulations and the trend of electrification, the new Cayenne can really bring us little.

Cash Porsche cayenne

The entry-level version of the new 3.0T V6 engine only draws 9 horsepower more than the current one, from 340 to 349. The 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine provides a low-power version, with the maximum horsepower reduced from 549 to 468, and is put on the lower-profile Cayenne S model to replace the original 2.9T engine.

The only significant power increase is the 3.0T plug-in hybrid version, and the comprehensive output power of the system is greatly increased from 386 to 463. At the same time, the more powerful Turbo S E-Hybrid will be released later, and Porsche will also provide the exclusive 2.0T plug-in hybrid vehicle for the China market.

However, in this era, the sense of strength and excitement that Porsche can provide has weakened a lot. In contrast, the pre-sale price is only 322,900 yuan, and Lan Tu Chasing Light comes standard with double motors, with zero-speed acceleration of 3.8s and maximum output of 5 10 horse. "Powerful flying brick" brand-new 8-layer flat wire motor makes the fledgling pursuers easily catch up with the million-class luxury cars in absolute power.

This sentence sounds full of recharge, but this is the reality. The refrigerator color TV sofa is called the "new three big pieces" in the new automobile era by the online drama, which is ironic but true.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, it is essentially that after entering the electrification era, the experience difference brought by mechanical quality is far less than that brought by the "new three big pieces". Due to the constraints of global environmental regulations, it is impossible to greatly improve the power experience of fuel vehicles. The mountain of fuel consumption has come down, and all three parts are sealed.

However, the lower limit of power experience of electric drive vehicles is very high, and the dynamic response, ride comfort and NVH are a complete blow to fuel vehicles. The network has been rendering the endurance anxiety of new energy vehicles, but it pays little attention to the power experience brought by electric drive, which is called "technological equality".

Maybe you will say, "I don't need that strong motivation", but "fast" has been one of the core pursuits of cars for a hundred years.

The rest of the three traditional pieces can be called the chassis of metaphysics. Admittedly, there is still a big gap between domestic cars and Porsche in this respect, but this is precisely the weakest part of the three traditional pieces. No matter how you roll, the impact on consumers may not be as big as the big TV in the car.

This is why the new Cayenne chooses to use 10.9 inch passenger screen in the interior, and provides more entertainment functions such as video than the previous Taycan.

The next generation Porsche Cayenne has been confirmed to have pure electric vehicles, and more screens will be used in a high probability. Porsche is moving towards the goal of 80% sales of pure electric vehicles in 2030.

Rome was not built in a day.

Of course, it doesn't mean that China brands only pile up screens and make "new three big pieces". If you have deeply experienced the best-selling new energy vehicles in China, you will definitely find that their mechanical hard power is much stronger than before!

First of all, the absolute ride comfort and quick response of electric drive have completely broken the backward situation of China brand in engine and gearbox technology in the past. Over the years, in order to "change lanes" with fuel vehicles, we have vigorously promoted new energy vehicles, and now we have achieved initial results.

Secondly, it is the battery placed on the chassis, the newly designed body structure and various "stacking materials" of the chassis that make many new energy vehicles have the hardware advantage of "pressing people to the bottom", with lower center of gravity and higher rigidity.

At the same time, China's auto industry's silent accumulation of market-for-technology for more than 40 years has made up for the shortcomings of software and talents, and more and more capable, experienced and experienced chassis engineers have emerged in China. Under their training, the driving experience will not be bad.

Finally, it is the most talked about safety aspect of China brand cars in the past. More and more test results prove that China brand cars with brand-new platform and brand-new architecture are no longer Amon, and it is common to win the best evaluation from major collision agencies at home and abroad.

In this big environment, let's take a look at three stunt videos released by Lan Tu this time.

The first one is "flight dehydration", which shows that Lan Tu Zhuguang passes through a fountain with a length of 27 meters, a height of 3 meters and an injection interval of only 0.55s at a speed of 2 10km/h, and the result achieved is that the car body does not stick.

As a global car, it is very likely to land in the European market, so it is necessary to ensure the long endurance of 2 10km/h and140-160 km/h. At the same time, the wind resistance coefficient of 0.22Cd and the standard electric tail that can produce the maximum downward pressure of 40kg are powerful AIDS for its fast and stable running.

The second is "quantum wave", which shows that Lan Tu chasing light passes through a 25-meter-long channel covered with a 5cm high speed bump at a speed of 40km/h, and the result is that the body wave does not exceed 1cm.

The whole system comes standard with double wishbone+five links, and the chassis is made of aluminum alloy, which is the basis of making a good chassis. The 4D magic carpet chassis equipped with high-profile models is the key to its stable performance in the test. The front camera scans the road at the speed of 30 frames per second, and its chassis can adjust the damping of CDC shock absorber at the speed of 100 times per second in advance according to the type of obstacles. With the air suspension that is naturally good at filtering vibration, it can provide a more stable and soft vibration filtering texture.

The last video is the border emergency stop, which shows that Lan Tu 100km/h-0 has an emergency stop capability of only 33.8m m. According to official data, it is equipped with a new generation of One Box brake-by-wire system, which improves the response speed of light-chase braking by 25%. Moreover, according to the previous test drive experience, its brake foot feeling is also relatively linear, and it is difficult to detect the connection between mechanical braking and kinetic energy recovery.

The essence of these three videos must be advertisements, and manufacturers will only show their advantages, but we can see from them that the era when only Lexus dared to put champagne towers on the hood has passed, and more and more China brand cars have the confidence to vigorously promote their mechanical quality.

But in my opinion, Lan Tu's ability to demonstrate this time is not comprehensive enough, and there is no part about car body safety and battery safety. I hope it can continue to carry forward the spirit that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, just like Lan Tu dreamers played Toyota in Erffa before.

Don't sell yourself short, let alone sell yourself short.

I know that Porsche Cayenne will be more attractive than Blue Rabbit in the short term. Moreover, no matter for die-hard fans or ordinary car consumers, their audiences will not overlap.

However, what I want to say here is that the arrogant days of China car users should be over. In the future, imported cars, joint venture cars and China brand cars will gradually enter the same track. We will see more and more imported cars and joint venture cars equipped with "new three big parts", and more and more China brand cars are famous for their excellent mechanical quality. The gap between brands is rapidly narrowing, and finally the real competition will be hard-core product strength, intelligence and insight into consumer needs.

Of course, we should also avoid arrogance in the process of rapid development. Including BYD and Wei Xiaoli, China brand new energy vehicles still have a long way to go. The penetration rate of new energy in the first quarter was only 30%. By the end of last year, the number of new energy vehicles in China was only 1 365,438+million, accounting for only 4. 10% of the total. Under the upsurge of automobile electrification, we must clearly realize that fuel vehicles are still the mainstream today.

Keeping the challenger's posture, down-to-earth rolling intelligence, rolling cost performance, rolling machinery quality, rolling endurance, rolling energy supplement and rolling service, so that China Internet companies can take it for granted to sweep the automobile industry in an all-round way, will be the key for China brand cars to win the world for a long time.
