In the last ota annual list, we first summarized the ota situation of "Wei Xiaoli Tehua". As a new front-line force, these companies have performed very well in terms of quantity and quality of ota. For The maintenance of older models is also relatively good.
In this issue, we take stock of the high-end new energy brands of traditional car companies, mainly including Jikrypton , Avita , Zhiji , Feifan , Lantu , Jihu , their Is the performance as strong as the new front-line forces?
Ji Krypton: The three cars do their own thing, and ota has the most total times.
Ji Krypton has a total of 3 cars that need maintenance last year. 001 and 009 were released earlier. After a full year, in April, after the delivery of Ji Krypton x started, it also entered cavalcade of ota.
is different from Wei Xiaoli’s platform development idea. The system versions of the three Jikrypton cars are independent of each other, and system updates are not synchronized. Even the system names are divided by car models. This may be because of the positioning of the three cars. The difference is relatively large, but it can also easily lead to an increase in development costs and difficulty.
Let’s look at 001 first. There are a total of 6 ota updates throughout the year, and the latest version number is 5.1. Specifically, the first half of the year was basically focused on fixing bugs, improving vehicle stability, and optimizing vehicle functions.
In the second half of the year, the focus was on improving smart driving functions, such as adding new levers to change lanes, high-speed NZP, traffic light countdown, etc.
Let’s look at 009 again. We have received ota 5 times throughout the year, but the version number is still at 4.2. As of today, the 5.0 major version is still in internal testing.
However, judging from the update content, each update of 009 will carry out some functional optimization for its MPV form, such as cockpit interaction, second and third row space experience improvement, etc. It can be seen that this system is deeply customized for MPV.
Finally, the x was launched in the second quarter. Although there was only one update in the whole year, it has been upgraded to version 5.0. Both the intelligent performance and the vehicle function itself have reached the best level at present.
Avita: After replacing Hongmeng, it is far ahead.
Avita only had 11 cars last year. Although the maintenance cost is not high, when it comes to intelligence, Changan may be unable to do so. After some attempts, he finally handed himself over to Hongmeng.
Judging from the updates throughout the year, before upgrading Hongmeng, the Avita 11 car-machine OTA was used as many as 7 times. It has been working hard to improve the smart driving experience and car-machine experience, and also added remote parking and sentry mode. and other functions.
It is worth mentioning that Avita 11 sometimes even receives two ota updates within a month. Of course, there are cases where new versions are pushed urgently to fix bugs.
In September last year, Avita 11 was replaced with the Hongmeng car system, but the system name still showed avatr os, and the version number was upgraded from 1.x to 2.0. After upgrading to Hongmeng, Avita 11’s intelligence level and smart driving The capabilities have been greatly improved, and the updates have finally stabilized. There was only one update until the end of the year, and it was during the AEB battle in November that the relevant functions were optimized.
From this point of view, it is indeed much easier to switch to Hongmeng.
Zhiji: The layout of smart driving is the most active
Zhiji had a total of 3 cars in need of maintenance last year, among which the l7 was an old model, and the ls7 and ls6 were new models. The former started delivery in March, and the latter was not launched until the fourth quarter.
Judging from the release rhythm, the system versions of l7 and ls7 are synchronized. Because of the new car, the version number of ls6 will be ahead.
Zhiji is very active in smart driving. First of all, let’s look at l7/ls7. It has received 6 ota updates throughout the year. Each update will open a number of cities’ high-speed NOA functions, and will also improve smart driving and parking functions. And make some improvements to the car and machine experience.
However, in terms of the opening rhythm of high-speed NOA, l7 started in April, while ls7 was not opened until July.
After the release of Zhiji ls6, the systems of the three cars were quickly integrated. In the November OTA, the update content of the three cars was basically the same, including some new features mentioned on Zhiji ls6, such as rainy night mode. It was updated simultaneously to l7/ls7, fulfilling the promise of "always open and always new" at the press conference.
One more thing, Zhiji's car central control adopts a hairtail screen layout, which has a lot of available space and can create many unique functional experiences, such as "Rainy Night Mode", which takes advantage of the long screen.
Lantu: The number of OTAs was the least.
Lantu had three cars that needed maintenance last year. Among them, the Dreamer, and free were old models, and Chasing Light was a new car launched in April. The three cars received a total of 5 otas throughout the year. The number of times least.
Like Jikrypton, the systems of the three Lantu cars are also independent of each other. The version numbers are not synchronized and platform updates are not implemented.
Specifically, Lantu Dreamer is updated once a year, mainly by adding a nap mode, a mobile car control applet, and optimizing the car experience.
Lantu free has been updated three times throughout the year, and the version number is also the latest. The update content mainly includes vehicle visual upgrades, vehicle function optimization, remote viewing of tire pressure and other optimization of the car experience.
Lantu Chasing Light was released in April, but it did not receive its first ota until November. Fortunately, there are many updates, including upgrades to assisted driving, charging, cockpit, car and engine, etc.
Feifan: Cockpit and smart driving are the focus.
Feifan had two cars that needed maintenance last year. Among them, Feifan r7 was an old model, and Feifan f7 started delivery in April last year.
The systems of these two cars are developed on the same platform, and the version number and update content are basically the same. Judging from the number of updates, the r7 received 4 updates throughout the year, while the f7 was released late and only caught up with 2 updates in the second half of the year. .
Feifan emphasizes the concept of the cockpit, especially the intelligent experience of the car and machine. In the 4 updates last year, each time it made some optimizations to the car and machine functions and added some car and machine apps. In the 1.4.0 version in July , the rider interconnection function has also been pushed, which can provide a more in-depth interconnection experience with Xiaomi and ov mobile phones.
In addition, Feifan has also launched related layouts for high-speed noa. Since the function was launched in April, each update will open a batch of high-end smart driving functions in new cities.
Extreme Fox: Sincere to old car owners
Extreme Fox launched ota updates last year mainly for three cars. Among them, the alpha s advance version in cooperation with Huawei was updated by the Huawei team, while the Alpha s/t was updated by the Extreme Fox team. .
Let’s take a look at the Alpha S advance version first. It received ota three times throughout the year. The updates are almost all related to assisted driving, such as adding valet parking, traffic light reminders, optimizing nca functions, etc.
Alpha s/t also received 3 ota updates throughout the year, mainly related to the car experience, such as adding Bluetooth keys, optimizing the air conditioning experience, adding new car applications, optimizing the car experience, etc.
It is worth mentioning that the JiFox Alpha s/t, as an old model, has received a total of 15 updates. It can be seen that the JiFox team has done a good job in maintaining the old car.
written at the end
After summarizing the OTA information of these six brands, it can be found that the new energy brands of traditional car companies are accelerating to catch up with new forces in terms of intelligence, especially Jikrypton, Avita, and Zhiji. Having demonstrated considerable strength, I believe their competitiveness in intelligence will become even stronger in 2024.
In the next issue of ota inventory, we will make a final summary of BYD , Geely , Changan, Great Wall and other traditional car companies, as well as Leap , Deep Blue and other brands, and continue to communicate and discuss with everyone.
