VV7 reached its peak when it debuted. In the year of listing, the monthly sales exceeded 10,000, becoming the first person to eat crabs in independent luxury brands. However, with the development of competitors at the same level, the advantages of VV7 are slowly eroded. From the sales volume in the past six months, we can see that the product strength is slightly tired.

Today, with the homogenization of car models, it is difficult to mix some unique killers in this market, especially today when cats and dogs dare to say that they are independent luxury brands.

What changes has VV7 made for this?

To discuss this problem, Xiao Bai got 202 1 VV7 today. Science and technology edition, which is the only configuration of the 202 1 model, has also reached a new high in the VV7 series, and the guide price has reached 192800.

What is the technology edition?

Compared with the top model of 2020, the price of 202 1 Technology Edition is 4000 yuan more expensive. What is the upgrade in configuration?

In Xiao Bai's view, the place to upgrade can be divided into two aspects: driving and taking a car.

Let's talk about hardware first.

Looking at the whole set of interiors, the only change compared with the old one is this little thing on the A-pillar.

The scientific name of this little thing is Driver? Monitoring? System, translated from CET-6, is a driver monitoring system. As the name implies, it can detect the driver's driving state.

With the help of this hardware, the VV7 technology version of the car machine system can realize a variety of expression detection and recognition, such as face recognition, voiceprint recognition, fatigue monitoring, distraction detection, expression recognition and so on.

Among them, what impressed Xiaobai the most was distraction detection. What's special about it? Let's talk about it from personal experience.

"When night falls, the bell rings, indicating going home.

This is the third time that Xiaobai has driven the VV7 on this road tonight. Finding a suitable parking space in the old city has always been a headache.

Psychological impatience and physical hunger are both annoying.

Just as my eyes were busy looking for a parking space, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam. Maybe the nearby foot washing city has just opened, and she hasn't had time to take off the ribbon.

"Wait, she looks like that actress, Tong Liya?"

I was about to turn my head to admire when the car-mounted machine said, "Honey, don't desert!" " Bring Xiao Bai back to reality. "

Only by saving your life can you appreciate countless beautiful women. Perhaps this is one of the meanings of distraction testing.

Blowing water and returning to rational analysis, I found that in the past few days of Xiaobai's test drive, in fact, the existence of this ai intelligent identification system is still very strong. Whether you sneak a look at your mobile phone or turn to chat with the co-pilot, the on-board system will identify it in time and stop it through words.

Besides, it will recognize your expression. When you are sad, the little WEY voice assistant will ask you intimately if you want to listen to a happy song.

However, it is not that Xiaobai is unhappy to frown when the sun shines brightly. You don't have to always tell Xiao Bai to be happy.

The second is software.

VV7 Technology Edition adopts a newly designed UI system, and the overall icon is flatter.

The intelligent DVR three-view driving recorder system composed of front and rear cameras outside the car and cameras inside the car is also one of the highlights.

The driving record is not worth mentioning. What's amazing is that it can be uploaded to the cloud platform in real time. Even after you turn off the engine, the system will record videos in cycles, which you can view through WEY's software cloud.

Next, I want to talk about its L2 automatic driver assistance system.

In the actual experience, this set of automatic driving assistance calibration is quite mature. It is not difficult to follow the car on the urban expressway or expressway, and you can keep a good grasp of the distance even when you turn sharply in the next lane.

Secondly, it is equipped with active braking system, secondary collision mitigation system, automatic parking, panoramic image, AEB double flashing reminder, blind spot monitoring and other driving assistance functions.

Among them, Xiaobai wants to recommend AEB double flashing reminder and active braking system. Let's talk about the double flash first.

According to Xiao Bai's exploration for several days, he is basically familiar with its calibration work. Among them, the highest frequency is that when it detects that the rear car is approaching too fast, it will turn on the double flash and the dashboard will give an alarm, which is very sensitive.

Xiao Bai thinks that the calibration of this function is not mature enough.

As the front car, you are stuck at the traffic lights, even if your car is going to rear-end, you can't do anything when you see the alarm. As a rear car, when you step on the accelerator and approach the front car, everyone will be surprised when you suddenly see the front car flashing double.

The second is the active braking system. Xiao Bai thinks that the calibration of this intelligent detection is too conservative.

Take the marked parking space near Xiaobaijia Arcade in the old city as an example. Originally, the width of the road was not large, and the marked parking space was narrower than the outside. However, under the control of the active braking system, no matter how you stop, you will be pushed to the outside line, but obviously there is still a lot of room inside.

Secondly, if you turn right in a business circle with many pedestrians, there is a chance that you will automatically brake because of the comparison of pedestrian stations. To be honest, this situation is still very dangerous. If the car behind you is not careful, it will cause rear-end collision.

Of course, these are all problems of software calibration, which can be solved by OTA in the later period, a small case.

Let's talk about another part.

What do you think is luxury? Is the LCD touch screen on the rear armrest enough?

This screen is not only high-definition, but also can control the ventilation, heating and massage in the back row, the entertainment system in the front row and the skylight on the top of the head. As long as it can be adjusted in the car, this screen can basically be realized.

You can experience an aviation-class seat with massage function for less than 200,000 yuan. Which SUV of the same price have you seen?

The different places in the science and technology edition are finished, so it's time to say the same place.

The car reviews of VV7 believe that everyone is sick, and so are they. Xiaobai will talk about the key points that everyone dare not say.

Regarding the model VV7, everyone is most concerned about fuel consumption. After all, in the eyes of keyboard man netizens, the fuel consumption of VV7 is comparable to that of Type 99 main battle tank.

To this end, Xiao Bai came up with the idea of doing fuel consumption test.

Of course, Xiaobai will not turn on the economic mode and turn off the air conditioner like other test methods. Xiaobai will be close to everyone's daily driving style, adjust the driving mode to normal mode, turn on the air conditioner and step on the accelerator.

Under the ravages of nearly 300 kilometers in recent days, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is less than 15L.

Do you still think this data is exaggerated? It should be noted, however, that our test drive has only traveled over 1000 kilometers, and there is no quasi-new car in the running-in period, and the opening mode of our editorial department is also "per capita big foot throttle".

For reference, Xiaobai invited Cruz, the company's long-term tester, for comparison.

We can see that the fuel consumption of kruse's front1000km reaches 10L+, but it is equipped with a 1.3T three-cylinder engine.

Therefore, Xiaobai came to the conclusion that it should be no problem for the fuel consumption of VV7 to drop to around 12L- 13L after the running-in period.

This kind of fuel consumption is very good for a medium-sized SUV with a curb weight of over 1.9 tons, a maximum power of 227 HP and a 2.0T engine.

Under the leadership of new forces and traditional luxury brands, "technology is luxury" has gradually become the creed of various car companies.

But looking at the whole automobile market, everyone seems to understand the word "technology" as much as the screen. Now if you don't have three or two screens, you are embarrassed to call yourself "technology."

But no matter how many screens, the system is not good, and it is no use keeping up with the special functions.

Therefore, in this impetuous market, it is a lucky thing to have a brand that values "technology".

Fortunately, this matter has been done by an independent luxury brand. In fact, under the oppression of the advantages of new power software, the public opinion pressure of traditional brands is unprecedented.

Whether you can do it or not is one thing, and whether you dare to do it is another. WEY not only jumped out of the comfort zone, but also made "technology" decent.

Is the price of such software and hardware within 200 thousand expensive?

I don't think so anyway.
