Deep Blue SL03 car machine experience, traditional car enterprises car machine really can not?

The starting price of 168,900 yuan of deep blue SL03, once again to scroll to the white-hot new energy sedan market to fill a fire. 160,000 starting price of medium-sized sedan + pure electric / extended range + 8155 car machine + very recognizable appearance design, the old-school car enterprise Changan into the new energy, the fist twenty years of power, you can not stop it? On paper, the deep blue SL03 really configuration pull full quite strength, but whether cheap + high configuration means cost-effective, SL03 car machine experience in the end what level? Just rely on 8155 can reverse the stereotype of traditional car companies car machine can not? We will experience it today.

First look at the hardware part, the deep blue SL03 car machine using a 10.25-inch instrument + 14.6-inch center control screen combination, the center control screen is very interesting, officially called "sunflower" screen, support for the left and right 15 degrees of adjustment, according to the needs of the driver's side or the passenger side of the bias.

With this design and the quick-switching left/right split-screen function of the car's UI, it's easy to control frequently used functions in the car, regardless of whether you're the main driver or the passenger.

The SL03's car chip uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P car-grade chip commonly used in current flagship models, which has been verified by the market, and the theoretical performance of the hardware can be assured.

But in addition to the performance of the chip, the manufacturer's optimization of the car system is also the most important thing to determine the car experience. From the actual experience, Chang'an this time compared to the previous progress is not small, power on the boot speed is very fast, from the cold start to normal operation only took seven or eight seconds. Although some of the system interfaces do not have a transition animation, which is a bit of a trick, the overall smoothness of the system is not inferior to today's mainstream level, and as a new energy brand of a traditional car company, this performance is not too much to call excellent.

Besides, the "12+128G" memory combination of the Deep Blue SL03 has been controversial. Before a user in the use of the process of testing out the car system is actually only 8G operating memory and 64G storage space, not the official has been publicized 12 + 128G, is it secretly "reduced"?

The official response to this is that the Deep Blue SL03 does use a 12+128G memory combination, of which 8+64G is allocated to the bottom of the Android in-car entertainment system, that is, our daily use of navigation, music, video, and other APP part, while the rest of the running memory and storage space is allocated to the QNX system, responsible for the instrumentation, 360 panoramic image, and so on, may affect the driving safety part. that may affect driving safety.

In fact, it's not uncommon for car companies on the market to use QNX+Android as the underlying system of the car machine, and it's even a very good program at this stage. We may not be too familiar with the QNX system, but in fact, QNX belongs to the behind-the-scenes BOSS of the car circle, and with its safe and stable characteristics, it has become the most mainstream car operating system, and its share in the automotive industry has reached 75%, like the We are familiar with BMW, Audi, General Motors, Toyota and so on have used QNX as the car operating system.

But although QNX is a stable and safe system, it is very suitable for use as an in-car operating system, but it also has its own shortcomings, that is, the application ecosystem, the number of applications that natively support the QNX system is very small, and this is exactly the strong point of the Android system, and the two just complement each other, so there is a QNX+Android in-car system program, which is related to the function of driving safety to the QNX system, and the in-car entertainment that has little impact on driving. QNX+Android is a solution for in-vehicle systems, where the functions related to driving safety are given to the QNX system, while the in-vehicle entertainment part, which does not have much impact on driving, uses the Android system to fully enjoy its open application ecology.

So, from an objective point of view, the official response is theoretically tenable, but in the publicity vigorously publicize the 12+128G memory, but did not indicate that it is the QNX and Android two systems **** enjoy the memory, more or less a bit of "smart" suspicion.

In terms of interactive experience, Deep Blue has done a pretty good job this time around, with the main interface sliding down to call out a list of apps, and sliding left for commonly used control options.

The bottom is the same as most car companies is the air conditioning and other commonly used switch DOCK bar, but not like some car companies like long press icon left and right slide can directly adjust the parameters, the bottom of the slide can call out the air conditioning settings interface.

The air-conditioning settings interface adds an animated display, which is quite smooth and easy to follow, and the display is more intuitive.

What surprises people is that the car system used by Deep Blue, which comes from a traditional car company, is not closed, and not only supports the app store, but also allows you to download and install third-party apps through its own browser, which is not common among domestic car companies, especially the traditional ones.

But in the latest system version update, the system is still on the user to install the third-party APP restrictions, or perhaps for risk control considerations, the car is different from electronic products, in the security of the more thorough consideration, in order to be prepared for any problems.

The system version update increased the number of applications that come with the system, such as B station, Sohu video, lazy people listening to the book, cloud hall, Douban reading, Netease news, singing bar and some other commonly used APP has also been integrated into the car machine, and even added a few new small games fruit ninja, defense of the radish and Plants vs Zombies, it is a good start.

Tested voice performance, although not as good as the first echelon of voice performance of the domestic car machine, such as Xiaopeng, ask the world, but the recognition of voice commands and control are not bad, it can be seen that can be said that the continuous dialog, voice partition recognition and other functions are also supported, and can even recognize the Sichuan dialect, the requirements are not high, if you want to meet the performance of this! The performance has been completely sufficient.

Benefiting from the 8155 chip, the navigation interface does not have any obvious lag in either interface scaling or drag-and-drop, and all the functions that should be there are also available, so the performance is moderate. If with AR-HUD may be better overall feeling, but our experience is the extended range version, AR-HUD is optional, we got the car does not have the option of this function, so this time did not experience, slightly regrettable.

Objectively speaking, the Deep Blue SL03 is a traditional car company product that is not so traditional. In many aspects compared to other traditional car company's product details are better, such as more open car ecosystem, easier to use car system, better UI design, you can see that it is really spent on thought.

But the deep blue SL03 can harvest today's heat, or can not be separated from its own cost-effective aura. Changan as a veteran car companies, in the field of new energy can only be regarded as a newcomer, and the best way for new players to enter is to "die" cost-effective, just like the millet phone.

But the cost-effective fight to the end of the fight is still the user experience, the key to the problem is to use mature product thinking to help users do a good job of trade-offs, in order to spend the smallest cost for the user to solve the most problems.
