Compared with Denza X and Ideal ONE, which one has the better car and machine IQ?

In the field of new energy vehicles, electrification and intelligence are advancing simultaneously, making every car very "smart". However, in fact, different brands and models have different requirements on the intelligence level and use of the vehicle. There are big differences in logic, and these differences also greatly affect the consumer experience. Take the 300,000-class new energy vehicles that are currently very popular in consumption as an example. The more representative ones are Denza

So, what is the difference between the two? Who will be better? We experienced Denza X and Ideal ONE respectively, trying to find the answer.

Performance comparison:

Are more screens really better?

It must be admitted that we are increasingly dependent on digital screens.

However, Denza and Ideal have different understandings of car screens - there are only 4 screens in the Ideal ONE cockpit, namely: instrument panel, multimedia screen, passenger entertainment screen, Car control screen. Denza X only has two panels, namely a full LCD instrument panel and a large central control screen.

In terms of functionality, the four screens on the Ideal ONE also have their own division of labor. The dashboard displays driving, music, navigation and other information closely related to the driver, while the multimedia screen adopts an L? shape. The menu + card layout is mainly responsible for vehicle settings, phone connection, music, maps and other functions, which is similar to our usual central control screen. Below the multimedia screen is a car control screen, which mainly controls the vehicle's hardware and driving modes. Of course, the most noteworthy feature of Ideal ONE is actually the passenger entertainment screen. To put it simply, it is a tablet computer specially designed for passenger entertainment.

What is completely different from the Ideal ONE is that Denza X chose to "remove the complex and simplify" and did not make a fuss about the number of screens. Denza X has its own thinking when it comes to the logic of using the screen.

The full LCD instrument panel of Denza X is also responsible for driving, music, navigation and other information closely related to the driver. Therefore, the real secret of Denza The effect is also particularly delicate. As for functionality, this screen can operate almost all functions related to vehicle settings, audio and video entertainment, interactive connections, navigation, and air conditioning.

It can be said that Denza X integrates the functions of the three screens on the right side of Ideal ONE on one screen, and the operation is equally convenient and the functions are clearly divided. You may notice that Ideal ONE pays attention to the co-pilot, such as having a dedicated entertainment screen, but in fact, the screen of Denza All can be done easily. More importantly, this amazingly large screen can also be rotated 90 degrees, which is enough to meet the occupants' needs for screen viewing angles.

The two models adopt different styles in the form of car display. Ideal ONE separates the screen to achieve multi-function and personal exclusivity; while Denza X’s screen is more integrated and user-friendly. The method is more flexible, and it also proves that more car screens are not better. It can be said to be "simple but not simple".

Connectivity comparison:

How to break without Carplay/Carlife?

The popular approach for many car camcorders nowadays is to embed Carplay/Carlife and use smartphones to perform some of the functions of the car camcorder. In fact, this is a relatively "lazy" approach. As cars and machines become more and more intelligent and connected, the functions of mobile phones can also be realized in cars. In this regard, Denza X and Ideal ONE are consistent. After the two are connected through Bluetooth, they also maintain High degree of connectivity.

However, Ideal ONE uses a closed system. Although it has been updated several times since its launch, its functions have gradually become more and more perfect. But unlike Denza X, it can only add additional functions through official OTA upgrades. In addition, Ideal has its own super account, which can reserve 3 seat memory settings for car owners, but it does not support one-click account switching.

The 15.6-inch central control screen of Denza The Internet system is based on the Android system. Like Android phones, various APPs can be downloaded, and the screen can also automatically rotate corresponding to different applications. It can be said that it is truly a seamless connection between the mobile phone and the car.

The power of the Denza . You can also check vehicle tire pressure, remaining battery and other information.

Comparison of ecology and expansion:

A good system is really good!

Just like a mobile phone, the screen size and size are important but not necessary for a car, because what really affects the experience is the system, algorithm and usage logic behind it.

Just like the Apple mobile phone, although it is crushed by other brands in many hardware indicators, thanks to the smoothness and user-friendliness of iOS, the iPhone is still far ahead in terms of user experience.

So for motorcycles, "A good system is really good!" is still an iron rule.

Information shows that behind the four screens of Ideal ONE are two sets of systems and chips. The driving information instruments related to driving and car control and the quick car control screen use Texas Instruments J6 chips and Linxu car computers. Version system, entertainment-related smart panels and passenger entertainment screen use Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chip and Android car version system.

The daily multi-functional use of Ideal ONE is actually concentrated on the multimedia screen and passenger entertainment screen. Among them, there are two sets of usage logic for the multimedia screen: L-shaped menu + card layout. The L-shaped menu is similar to shortcut keys. For example, if you want to set up the vehicle or view a 360° panoramic image, you can switch between them with one click; while the card-style layout on the right is more vivid and specific, although the functions have not changed much. It is worth mentioning that when you slide down the top of the multimedia screen, a "quick control floating window" that imitates iOS? will appear, which can adjust some commonly used functions, such as music, volume, Bluetooth, mode, etc. The entire logic and visual design are very similar to the iOS drop-down menu.

The passenger entertainment screen of Ideal ONE is connected to two kinds of content: audio and video. The experience is similar to that of a tablet, and the passenger screen and multimedia screen can be linked - when parking, the video on the passenger screen It will be transferred to the multimedia screen for playback.

The split-screen design of Ideal ONE also separates functions, which also allows each screen to undertake very few tasks. In addition, there are not many software and functions built into the system itself, which makes people feel There are just a few large screens, and the entertainment and expandability are not strong. In fact, the content of Ideal ONE car and machine services still needs to be improved. The ecological services currently only include audio, video, FM and other entertainment functions.

Different from the relatively closed system of Ideal ONE, Denza X has opened up a new idea for us - turning the large central control screen into a giant mobile phone. Since its release in 2018, the DiLink system equipped on Denza .

More importantly, the DiLink smart car system is very open and supports users to install Android applications, and these 2.8 million Android applications are its biggest advantage. Although many applications are not optimized for car use scenarios, they are at least Giving consumers more possibilities for independent choices. For example, the built-in navigation of Denza

Even for novices, Denza In addition, the system also has a built-in "App Store". You can even download Honor of Kings and play a game in the car when you are bored waiting for others in the car. As for the in-vehicle WeChat and Tencent Video, they are no different from the mobile phones. Combined with the design that they can rotate and switch between horizontal and vertical screens, it can be said that it has brought a good medicine to those who are deeply addicted to mobile phones.

Comparison of interaction and execution:

Getting started quickly is more important than anything else!

In terms of human-computer interaction, Denza X and Ideal ONE are also very different, and their characteristics are very distinct.

For many setting functions, Ideal ONE uses floating windows or expanded methods to display more. There are also floating windows on the card menu for quick operations, which allows users to continue operations more intuitively and reduce the complexity of operations. memory hierarchy. In addition, the central control screen can return to the main page by "swiping up with three fingers" on any page, which is also more user-friendly. Unfortunately, these require learning, and it is difficult for novices to become familiar with this set of operating logic in a short period of time.

The Android system that Denza It can even be said that the operating logic of Denza X is almost the same as that of an Android phone. The return key and home key are also at the bottom of the screen, which can provide quick command requirements at any time.

As for the currently popular semantic commands, in addition to the large-screen interactive system of Ideal ONE, intelligent voice is also an important part of human-computer interaction. Naturally, Ideal ONE will not be absent. The hardware part: the car Equipped with up to 4 in-car microphones, it is currently the vehicle with the most in-car microphones in the industry. The effect is that the car can respond to the voice commands of all passengers in rows 1-3. In the software part, the voice system provides an intelligent voice assistant WIKI, which provides functions such as searching songs, watching videos, weather forecasts, navigation, and adjusting air conditioning, seat heating and ventilation.

In addition, the Lideal ONE car machine also provides voice assistant and APP remote control, and there is not much difference from other brand models in terms of functional experience. The performance of the voice assistant is pretty good, and there is room for improvement in recognition accuracy. It supports natural semantic dialogue and interruption functions, and its practicality is not bad.

Of course, Denza X's DiLink also supports semantic recognition to a certain extent, but the scope of semantic recognition support is relatively narrow. Currently, it can adjust the air conditioning by recognizing "I'm a little hot/cold", or feedback the opening and closing of the sunroof by "it's raining".

All in all, both still have room for improvement in semantic recognition, but in terms of the "thumb" control we most commonly use, Denza X has the advantage of being faster to use than the Ideal ONE.

Written at the end

In general, Ideal ONE has its own characteristics in terms of the external expression of the car, the interface layout and the setting of the interaction logic. Although it seems It has a more technological feel, but due to the scalability of the system and the cost of learning, it is destined to only be suitable for a small number of consumers. Although Denza
