I don’t know where the loud voices denouncing Xinghan Zhixing before the auto show have gone? Very strange…

But this is not the point. The point is that Xinghan 009, which uses a new generation of robot welders, can't find anything to blame. Even if some media speak out of conscience, they don't dare to take pictures.

I can't help it, I can't find fault with it!

According to past experience, when a product is unique in appearance design, there must be more or less defects in product quality. There are also products that can take into account both appearance and quality.

But the price~

However, Xinghan 009 is breaking the inherent conventional perception. On the basis of good appearance and quality, it can also control the price to 35,800 yuan. Although Xinghan 009 has not yet been launched, it has not passed the test of time...

But judging from the quality and quality control of the existing Xinghan mini, how could the higher-positioned Xinghan 009 be inferior? Besides, look at the devilish details and workmanship... Who can believe that Xinghan Zhixing built a motorcycle for the first time?

Many motorcycle enthusiasts immediately said:

"Not to mention anything else, this look... is so unique! I want to buy one to display in the restaurant! Really! And I haven't seen such an original design in a long time, and it's a domestic motorcycle! "

"Wrong, it's an electric motorcycle~"

"What a pity! What a pity about the appearance! If this was equipped with a V-twin engine... let alone the domestic market, it would be a hit product even if it were sold all over the world! But why is it an electric motorcycle?"

"What's wrong with the electric motorcycle? I've seen the parameter introduction of Xinghan 009. Its motor horsepower is stronger than the ordinary 500cc engine. The most powerful thing is its torque. The torque on the wheel is almost up to the liter level!"

"Wheel torque? What is this?"

"Xinghan 009 is equipped with a wheel motor!"

"It's not an on-wheel motor, it's a rear-wheel direct drive! There is still a slight difference between the two, and the Xinghan 009 has a cruising range of 400km, and it only takes half an hour to charge. Is that enough?"

"My curved beam still has a battery life of 500km..."

"Damn you! Why do you have to refute anything I say? Your broken beam should have been scrapped long ago! Does it have the looks of Xinghan 009? Or does it have power?"

"I…"

"Stop arguing! It's a mule or a horse that comes out to ride! Watching those people doing road tests every day is not satisfying at all! You have to try it yourself to know what this Xinghan 009 electric motorcycle is like!"

"It would be nice if there was some noise..."

"Yes! It turns out that you are from out of town. I have never seen this kind of car running on the road. The sound of its motor is very powerful! It is not the sound of an electric motorcycle as you imagined!"

"It's definitely not a loss if you line up for a test drive!"

Others are concerned about the storage space of Xinghan 009. In fact, Xinghan 009 can completely design the "fuel tank" part into a front storage box, but in the end Chen Zifan still integrated all the circuits into it.

The "fuel tank port" at the top has been changed to a charging port. The charging gun specifications used are the same as those of Xinghan mini and Xinghan 001. The car is also equipped with an emergency charger.

In terms of storage space, the most conspicuous thing about Xinghan 009 is its two rear luggage compartments. The style is very unique and matches the overall shape of Xinghan 009. The space is large. The disadvantage is that the side-opening design makes it difficult to store things.

Directly under the rear seat cushion of the split seat cushion is a helmet compartment specially placed for helmets. The unique design immediately received praise from many consumers:

"Holy crap! It comes with a full-face helmet!"

"I don't bring my own full-face helmet, but it's for demonstration! I think this is the most practical design! Otherwise, I have to bring a helmet every time I go out, and I don't know where to put it."

"Yes, it is much more convenient to have a helmet compartment, but why do I feel like I have seen a helmet compartment before? It seems that other manufacturers have used this design..."

"It's not another manufacturer, it's also made by Stardust Technology, Xinghua Zhixing! Its Chengfeng electric scooter also comes with a helmet compartment in the seat bucket, and I rode it here."

"I'll just say it!"

"Why doesn't this feel high-end?"

"The two cars are not of the same level..."

"That's true~"

When it comes to design, Xinghua Zhixing has endless models and styles. In many cities where motorcycles are popular, Xinghua electric vehicles outsell scooters. One of the reasons is that they are very good-looking.

Traditional scooters are not good-looking. In addition to being easy to refuel, running far and fast, they are not as enjoyable to ride as Xinghua electric vehicles. Therefore, some motorcycle manufacturers are copying the designs of Xinghua electric vehicles.

If you can't beat it, just learn from it...

However, due to the threshold issue, it may not be realistic for scooter sales to beat that of electric vehicles~

Xinghan 001 (A-class coupe) and Xinghan 009 (city cruise) are products that have been confirmed to be mass-produced and launched this year. They have done very well in terms of appearance, function and practicality.

However, everyone who comes to the auto show knows that the real protagonists are not these two cars. There is only one exhibition car in the middle, and the Xinghan 01 (B-class coupe) with the largest number of onlookers in the show is the real protagonist!

After finally squeezing in, some ordinary consumers who got the static test drive number, especially Xinghan Mini owners, were dumbfounded after sitting in:

"I thought my Xinghan mini was 'finished' until I saw the Xinghan 001. Just when I thought the Xinghan 001 was the limit of Xinghan Zhixing, the Xinghan 01 refreshed my understanding again!"

In terms of appearance design, Xinghan 01 is of the same origin as Xinghan 001, or...

If I have to describe it, compared with the same stage, Xinghan 001 is equivalent to the Changan uni-v known as the "domestic small A7" meets the real Audi A7. The uni-v is not bad alone, but I am afraid of competing with the real owner. Compared.

Xinghan 01 is not only a whole circle larger in body size, but also far exceeds people's imagination in terms of appearance, paint finish, detailed workmanship, configuration, etc. The moment they sit in the car, they understand why Xinghan 01 is so popular There is a "ceiling" in the mirage.

"This is outrageous!"

"It's really outrageous! Xinghan 01 doesn't seem to be a product of this era, it's like it came out of a science fiction movie! I was saying just now that the style of Xinghan 001 is a bit radical, but now it seems...

Xinghan 001 is really just a 'family car', Xinghan 01 is the real one... I'm not saying that its style is radical, but I feel that the moment I saw it, a concept was forcibly implanted in my mind:

This is what the future looks like!

I still remember that Chen Zifan said at the Stardust conference last year that new energy vehicles are the future and Xinghan Mini is a product that changes the world. At that time, everyone was laughing and everyone thought he was a fool.

But now?

Who is the fool?

I'm a fool too! At that time, like them, I felt that the Xinghan Mini was just a toy car, just enjoying the benefits of Haicheng, that is, its appearance was a bit novel, and it could not compete with fuel vehicles at the same price.

The reality is - the monthly sales of Xinghan Mini exceeded 10,000 units last month, and as a domestically produced car, there is no problem with its quality?

When Polestar X appeared, many people still thought, isn’t it just a taxi? Aren’t you still eating products developed by welfare? Polestar X is destined to live soon! Including me think so too.

Reality slapped me hard again. Polestar

When the news of the Xinghan 001 road test came out last month, we all thought that the Xinghan Zhixing had gone too far. We felt that the Xinghan Zhixing had taken too big a step, and it was a bit unrealistic to want to enter the family sedan market worth about 180,000 yuan.

But the moment I saw Xinghan 001, I just wanted to say: It’s so unrealistic! But I still believe in my heart that the world is still dominated by fuel vehicles, and nothing will change in a short time.

but!

The Xinghan 01 in front of me tells me... nothing in the world cannot be changed! New energy vehicles are indeed the future! Really, this is an exaggeration! If you don’t believe me, I really recommend you to sit in this car and take a look.

Even if it is just an engineering vehicle, even if its functions are still in demonstration state..."

It has to be said that the major traditional car companies are really scared this time. The emergence of Xinghan 001 is at most one more strong opponent. The overall capture is still within control, but Xinghan 01 has exceeded their expectations.

They didn't expect that Xinghan Zhixing would really dare to release this car! This made them feel great pressure. They didn't dare to bet that Xinghan 01 would not be mass-produced, nor would they dare to bet that Xinghan 01 would not sell for 520,000 yuan...

If, I mean if, if Xinghan 01 can be launched within five years, and the price is only 528,000 yuan, and the parameters, configuration, and functions are the same as those that have been exposed, the automobile market will have a situation:

All cars over 500,000 yuan or even over 400,000 yuan will be compared with Xinghan 01. All luxury cars sold for more than 500,000 yuan will have their sales sniped down by Xinghan 01, let alone luxury car brands...

When the gap in product capabilities is too large, the brand's appeal will become very weak. Besides, if you can build a monster like the Xinghan 01, how can you not build other types of cars? What should we do then?

So now the only options they have left are:

Abandon unrealistic fantasies, improve product capabilities, develop various types of technologies, and elevate internal combustion engine technology to a new level, or join the new energy camp and also develop new energy vehicles...

No matter what the choice is, it will not have much impact on the development of Xinghan Zhixing. Of course, ordinary people do not know what the emergence of Xinghan 01 represents. They only know that Xinghan Zhixing has built domestic luxury cars.

Others are dismissive of this~

"Tch, isn't it just an engineering prototype? What's the function of the demonstration? Is it capable of running two laps?"

oh?

Who said Xinghan 01 can't run?

Chen Zifan prepared in advance and installed all Level 5 motors, just to give the world a surprise after the dynamic test drive and tell everyone that Xinghan 01 is not a concept car, it will really be mass-produced and launched.

Stardust Technology will only put "concept products" into mass production and launch them, and will not develop "concept products" on its own.

Compared with the static experience, the dynamic test drive in the afternoon was much more lively. For this auto show, Chen Zifan spent a lot of money and directly contracted the five-kilometer two-way eight-lane Xinghai Highway.

Of course, this road was originally proposed to be built by Stardust Technology, and most of the resources were produced by Stardust Technology. If it is used occasionally, it can also generate income for Haicheng, and no one will say anything.

The five-kilometer road was divided into multiple areas. The first to start the test drive was Xinghan 009, a modern cruiser positioned as an "urban SUV".

Many people like Harley-Davidson, Indians, and American-style cruisers. One of the reasons is that the style of cruisers comes with a boss aura.

Of course, Indian has not really entered the Chinese market yet, so the representative of American cruising is still Harley. Excluding the "strong culture" represented behind Harley, its products have a unique charm.

That is, the engines of many Harley models can still burst out huge torque at low speeds. To give a simple example, many motorcycles will "cough" when their speed drops below 2,600 rpm.

No matter how low the speed is, it will feel like it is dragging.

The Harley's speed can be as low as about 1,600 rpm and still run smoothly, and when you turn the throttle at low speed to accelerate, you can immediately feel the surging sound and acceleration, coupled with the rich exhaust...

The riding experience is very exciting and exciting.

Harley has deliberately adjusted the engine's torque burst forward for sufficient low-torque power. The Xinghan 009's motor does not need to be adjusted forward at all. In the power mode, the Xinghan 009 has maximum torque from the start.

This kind of explosive power is much stronger than that of Harley, and due to the sharp characteristics of the motor, Xinghan 009 has to deliberately limit the sensitivity of the switch, otherwise it will be easy to let go directly when starting with a large switch.

Also, one of the main advantages of electric motors is fast acceleration, but many people have no specific concept of such speed, so on the Xinghai Highway, Chen Zifan directly sent people to bring out fuel vehicles and fuel motorcycles for comparison.

Of course, it goes without saying about fuel vehicles. There are almost no cars present that can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph for more than 5 seconds. The staff driving Xinghan 009 did not even turn on the power mode. To compare with them in accelerating within a limited distance would be a complete abuse.

Sure enough, many people are dissatisfied:

"What's the point of using an electric motorcycle to bully a car? My Xinghua electric car can destroy a car. How can I use an awesome motorcycle to compete with the Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki Daniel? This is really interesting~ "

Forget about rivals at the level of the Suzuki Hayabusa, it can't be compared... After all, it's not called "land aircraft" for nothing, and the Suzuki Hayabusa is a sports car, while the Xinghan 009 is a cruiser, and they are not the same type.

But Chen Zifan still sent a few mid-displacement sports cars, with displacements ranging from 400 to 600. Since the motor of Xinghan 009 is benchmarked against a 500cc displacement engine, this comparison seems quite reasonable?

In fact, everyone who knows the industry knows that a 500cc displacement imitation car can already achieve a sprint time of 4.5 seconds, while it is very difficult for a 500cc displacement cruiser to achieve a sprint time of 5.5 seconds. However, the motor characteristics can even out this gap.

PS: Two updates and two updates~
