In December 2018, after years of technological precipitation, China's Internet smart car brand officially launched its first mass production model, "Xiaopeng G3", and started delivery at random. After that, with the fierce competition in the domestic market, Xiaopeng automobile has carried out many technical and hardware upgrades for this model, and the comprehensive driving range has been improved again and again, and the on-board intelligent configuration has also been improved. On March 23, foreign media CNET announced that Xiaopeng G3 may launch three new models in April this year, with specific models of 460, 460i and 520i respectively. The new model has made another breakthrough in terms of comprehensive condition endurance and intelligent hardware. Among them, 460 and 460i models have a comprehensive driving range of 460km, while 520i models have a comprehensive driving range of 520km. In addition, in the part of intelligent network connection hardware, 460i and 520i models will be equipped with new intelligent network connection hardware and intelligent ecosystem of Xiaopeng automobile. It is worth mentioning that compared with the models before the upgrade, the new three models are equipped with more intelligent central control screen, and also equipped with Qualcomm 820a chip in vehicle intelligent chip. Compared with the old models, the intelligent computing ability is increased by 700%, the fluency is increased by 30%, and the storage capacity is increased by 33%. At the same time, the new G3 of Xiaopeng will also have new intelligent car functions such as interactive "little p" and roof camera that can "fancy camera". The G3, equipped with the latest hardware and system, can realize most of P7's on-board intelligent capabilities, according to Xiaopeng auto. According to another news, Xiaopeng g3460i and g3520i will adopt new UI design. Users can have a richer application market through OTA (over the air download technology), download their favorite applications, small programs, etc. Of course, for the old models, Xiaopeng has also launched the upgrade plan of intelligent Internet connection. Through the car OTA upgrade, the old users can also enjoy the new system. Some insiders said that although the official price of the new model has not yet been announced, it is not difficult to speculate on it according to the price of the existing model. From the perspective of the whole electric vehicle industry, for every 100 kilometers of pure electric vehicle upgrade, the price increase is about 2000 yuan. Xiaopeng g3460 is 60 kilometers less than g3520, and the accounting price is expected to be 12000 yuan cheaper than g3520. Then, Xiaopeng g3460i is expected to increase the price of new intelligent energy networking hardware and new intelligent ecosystem on this basis, which is expected to be 10000 yuan more expensive. Based on g3520, the price of g3460 is predicted to be about 167800 yuan, and g3460i is predicted to be about 177800 yuan. Similarly, g3520i is the intelligent upgrade model of g3520, and it is expected to add 10000 yuan under the condition that other configurations remain unchanged.
