Rain Technology reported on June 28 that recently, the product manager of the M8 product of the Wanjie M8 “Bay Area Feng Ge” broke the news in the community that it has begun to test the M8 ADS 4.0 parking space to parking space function.
From the SR interface he shared, it can be seen that the parking space tested this time is very difficult, as if it was entering a maze. Even if it was a human driver, it would probably take some time. This seems to hint at the powerful capabilities of Huawei ADS 4.0 in complex environments. Considering the increasingly complex urban parking environment, the practicality of this function will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
An informed blogger revealed that from ADS 4.0 parking spaces to parking spaces can be directly selected in the underground parking lot on the external map. However, how to achieve them depends on the official disclosure. If we can truly achieve “perspective” position selection, it will be a major innovation in the industry, greatly simplifying the user’s parking operation process, and the user experience is worth looking forward to. This shows that Huawei’s exploration in the field of intelligence has penetrated into the subtleties of user use.
In addition to testing ADS 4, “Bay Area Feng Ge” also revealed another important news, that is, the pure electric version of Wenjie M8 is coming, and it is expected to be released together with ADS 4.0, and it will be in July. Judging from the consistent pace of product release in the QR industry, the possibility of release in July is higher. This also means that Wenjie will further expand its pure electric vehicle layout in the high-end MPV market.
There are currently four cars in Wenjie brands, among which the M5 and M9 both provide extended range and pure electric dual power, while the M7 only has extended range. The M8 extended range version has been launched and the sales volume is gratifying, and it will exceed 20,000 units this month. It can be seen from this that Wenjie has achieved good market recognition in terms of extended-range models. The pure electric version is undoubtedly to meet the needs of more users.
As for the pure electric version, although the target users are not as many as the extended range, there are indeed people waiting. The official disclosure of relevant information this time has given some expectations. In the current new energy vehicle market, pure electric and extended range have their own audiences. For those users who value battery life and capacity convenience more, extended-range models still have certain advantages. However, with the continuous improvement of charging infrastructure and the continuous advancement of battery technology, the market share of pure electric vehicles will continue to expand.
At present, there is limited information about M8 pure electric, and it is likely to continue the extended range design, with some changes in details, such as the front air intake grille being changed to a grid-shaped one. Considering the design language of the Wenjie family, this speculation has a certain rationality. It is also common in the automotive industry to distinguish between pure electric versions and extended-range versions through changes in details.
As for power, dual motors and 100-degree batteries must not be missing. Refer to the M9 EV, the range is over 600 kilometers, supports 800V high-voltage charging, and the charging rate is at least 4C level. It will also be equipped with closed dual-cavity air suspension, dual lidar, etc. Such a configuration can ensure that the pure electric version of M8 has strong competitiveness in terms of performance, battery life, charging speed and comfort. Especially 800V high-voltage charging will greatly shorten the charging time and improve the user experience.
