Only 8 months after the launch of the new M7, Wenjie has released a new model.
On May 31, the eve of the opening of the 2024 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show, the new M7 Ultra was officially launched in Shenzhen, priced at 289,800-329,800 yuan and delivered as soon as it was launched.
On June 2, at the Hongmeng Intelligent Driving User Center in Shenzhen Bay, Richard Yu, Huawei's Executive Director, Chairman of the Device BG, and Chairman of the Intelligent Automotive Solutions BU, personally delivered new cars to the first batch of new M7 Ultra owners in China. On the same day, official data showed that 12,000 units of the new M7 Ultra were ordered on the first day of its launch.
Many products under Hongmeng Intelligent Driving are gaining popularity. According to Yu Chengdong, the order of the new M5 exceeded 20,000 units in one month after its launch; the Zhijie S7 ranked No. 3 in April delivery of 300,000+ pure electric sedans; the order of the M9 exceeded 90,000 units in five months after its launch. The order of the new M7 exceeded 180,000 units in eight months after its launch, becoming the "national-level SUV" in the era of smart cars.
Regarding the new M7 Ultra model, Yu Chengdong used "more quantity without increasing price" and "five extraordinary features" to introduce its upgrade. "The appearance is more pleasing to the eye, the chassis performance is more powerful, the intelligent driving ability and safety capabilities are taken to a higher level, and the sound effect is more shocking."
It is reported that in terms of appearance, the front face of the new car adopts a more refined grille design, presenting a more complete shape. It comes standard with a new 20-inch double seven-spoke star wheel and an optional 21-inch double ten-spoke sports wheel.
The new car offers 5 exterior colors and 3 interior colors, with a new interstellar blue body color and an optional new red tea orange interior.
In the field of intelligent driving, where Huawei is the strongest, the M7 Ultra's newly upgraded flagship 192-line laser radar is currently the industry's highest-line laser radar for mass-produced vehicles, with a maximum detection distance of 250m and an industry-leading 20Hz scanning frequency. Yu Chengdong announced that the M7 Ultra's all-directional collision avoidance capability has been further improved, with the forward active safety AEB effective range increased to 4-150km/h, and the braking speed for stationary vehicles increased to 120km/h; the lateral active safety can actively identify drainage horses, cones, curbs, pedestrians and vehicles, and the effective range is increased to 40-130km/h; the rear active safety can actively identify pedestrians, vehicles and two-wheeled vehicles, and the effective range is increased to 1-60km/h.
The figures provided by Yu Chengdong show that from September 2023 to May 2024, the new M7 actively avoided possible collisions more than 80,000 times, effectively reducing the risk of accidents for users.
Yu Chengdong also showed his confidence that Huawei ADS can beat Tesla FSD, which is about to enter China. However, he also added that no safety system can guarantee 100% avoidance of accidents. If the speed of the car is too fast, "even gods can't do it in extreme scenarios."
At the same time, he also explained the mechanical emergency door opening method of the invisible door handle of the Q-Jie. If the invisible door handle cannot be popped out, press one side of the door handle and the other side can pull it out. This mechanical emergency door opening video was played repeatedly at the scene. Yu Chengdong emphasized that the old Q-Jie also opened the door in this way, "without breaking the window."
The outside world generally believes that this is Yu Chengdong's response to the Wenjie car accident in Yuncheng, Shanxi.
It is reported that as of May 2024, HUAWEI ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving system continues to evolve, urban NCA pilot has covered more than 40,000 towns and villages across the country, the total mileage of intelligent driving has reached 220 million kilometers, and the cloud-based learning and training computing power has been increased to 3.5E FLOPS.
In addition, the new M7 Ultra five-seater version has the largest 3338mm effective space in the same class, as well as the largest first-row, second-row and trunk space in the same class. The newly upgraded Shuyun seats are softer, with better support and fit. The main driver's music headrest is upgraded with a pluggable design. The front seat backrest can be reclined 69°, and the maximum depth after docking with the rear seat cushion is up to 3m, realizing the beach chair mode for two people to lie flat easily, and can also be flexibly converted into single bed or double bed mode. At the same time, the second row of zero-gravity seats with six seats have added an anti-pinch function, with a larger adjustable angle and more meticulous care for passengers.
The pre-sale of STELATO's first blockbuster product, STELATO S9, appeared as the "easter egg" of this conference. As the first executive luxury flagship sedan of Hongmeng Intelligent Driving, STELATO S9 not only has the lowest wind resistance of mass-produced executive luxury sedans in the world, but also has surging power that surpasses traditional luxury, equipped with the latest Tuling platform, the first HUAWEI ADS 3.0 advanced intelligent driving system and other intelligent technologies, reshaping executive luxury in all aspects.
It is reported that the pre-sale price of Xiangjie S9 is 450,000-550,000 yuan and it will be officially launched in Beijing in August.
