At the just-opened 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, WM officially released the interior of the new model WM7. In terms of the in-car interaction design of the new car, the M7 More disruptive innovation. It adopts the design concept of "zero button" interaction, and the interior adopts a minimalist line layout, which greatly simplifies user operations. Officials have not released detailed data on power and battery life. Currently, they only reveal that the new car’s NEDC range will reach 700km, which also makes the new car the longest-range model under WM Motor.
The interior design of the WM M7 is very avant-garde and simple. In terms of in-car interaction design, the M7 is more disruptive and innovative. It adopts the design concept of "zero button" interaction, and the interior adopts a minimalist line layout, which greatly simplifies user operations. M7 adopts the i-Rota super knob for the first time, introducing the "smart watch" into the car. It can not only be transformed into a central knob for function control, but also realize the control of different functions in different scenarios, such as controlling the volume, adjusting the air conditioning temperature, etc., and can also evolve. As a carrier of emotional interaction, it displays pictures, expressions, symbols and other interesting interactive content.
At the same time, the M7 adopts the i-Surf dot matrix screen design independently developed by WM for the first time, providing an interactive interface for the co-pilot. A new emotional carrier. In addition to displaying vehicle information, it can also display more interesting content such as user-defined animations and mini-games.
The new car continues the design language of the dual screens on the WM W6, and the visual effect is very technological. The resolutions of the two screens are pretty good, but the overall response speed of the central control screen is average.
The steering wheel of the WM7 uses a new style two-spoke steering wheel. The WM logo in the center is very prominent, and the multi-function buttons on both sides are painted with piano paint. First-class materials are used for decoration, which enhances the sense of class of the entire vehicle.
The seat shape of the new car is relatively ordinary, the leather material is relatively delicate, and the delicate stitching and yellow decorative lines make the WM M7 The interior has a somewhat different style. The model we actually shot also comes with a rear entertainment system, and two screens can bring a richer and more interesting riding experience to rear passengers.
Appearance review:
When you first see the WM7, you will find that it is very different in design style from previous WM models. The previous three models of WM have relatively tough designs, and the smooth lines of WM7 will give people a strong sense of freshness. In addition, you can still find a lot of shadows of WM Maven in the WM M7. I believe everyone who sees it can feel a strong science fiction atmosphere.
In the front part of the car, the slender headlights on both sides of the Weimar M7 are connected by a decorative strip, which not only stretches the visual width of the entire front of the car but also creates a curved front. A kind of "flying saucer" feeling. Details inside the trimThe design is also very particular, with staggered lines echoing WM Motor’s logo.
The design of the front hatch cover is very unique. The Y-shaped black decoration and the silver cover form a very strong visual contrast. This design gives people a very strong sense of the future. In addition, the three autonomous zoom high-precision super-vision lidars seen from the front of the car make the WM7 the first to achieve intelligent full coverage of "residential parking - urban roads - intercity highways", becoming a truly global vehicle. The first full-scenario smart travel pure electric car.
The lidar used in the Weimar M7 is based on the second-generation MEMS intelligent scanning chip as the technical core. It has independent zoom characteristics and can perceive the environment differently according to different intelligent driving scenarios. Focus on arbitrarily changing the horizontal and vertical scanning speed to dynamically adjust the frame rate and resolution.
On the side of the body, the WM7 has extremely simple and smooth lines. The two-color body and suspended roof design make the WM7 look more youthful and energetic. From the side of the car body, you can see that the lines from the headlights extend to the front fenders. In order to reduce wind resistance, the Weimar M7 also uses the hidden door handles commonly used in new energy sources. Personally, I think the most beautiful part of the entire car is the two-color wheels. The style of the wheels can not only reduce high-speed wind resistance, but also greatly enhance the sportiness of the vehicle.
The design of the rear of the car echoes the front of the car. The seemingly through-type taillights are actually still a black high-gloss trim strip in the center, and the rectangular light group inside the taillights. It is well-proportioned and looks more exquisite. The lines at the rear of the car are relatively simple, with several horizontal fold lines running through the rear of the car, giving the rear of the car a richer sense of hierarchy.
The Weimar M7 is equipped with a total of 7 8-megapixel ultra-high-definition cameras and 4 2-megapixel high-definition surround-view cameras. The maximum detection distance is more than 600 meters. 120° super wide-angle FOV, close to horizontal viewing angle, can have a stronger field of view. The pixels of the 8-megapixel camera have been increased by 4 times, which is close to that of a 4K TV. Compared with the 2-megapixel cameras of mainstream models on the market, the 8-megapixel camera brings an essential improvement in clarity.
In addition to 11 cameras and 3 lidars, the Weimar M7 is also equipped with 5 millimeter wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, forming a 360° all-round fusion perception network that can efficiently analyze and process Complex external information.
As for the chip, Weimar M7 is equipped with the world's top autonomous driving chip - NVIDIA DRIV Orin-X. The computing power of a single Orin-X chip can reach 254TOPS, and it can Calculated 254 trillion times, the maximum computing power is as high as 1016TOPS. With its strong intelligence, WM7 will cover all car use scenarios from high-frequency scenarios to low-frequency scenarios, truly realizing "community roads"(AVP) - urban road (TJP) - intercity highway (HWP)" full-scenario intelligent driving experience.
Summary:
As the first work of WM's "Master Series", WM7 shoulders the important task of WM's product line to impact the higher-end market. At present, the new car has an extremely avant-garde and individual design, and the hardware in the driving assistance part is also It's quite good. If it can have good power and battery life, the Weimar M7 will definitely become a new disruptor in the mid-to-high-end new energy market.
