The new “wind-shaping” design language creates an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.23

WM Maven adopts an interactive exterior design under a new family-style wind-shaping language, representing the design direction of WM's mass-produced vehicles towards light luxury, elegance and smoothness, and can be regarded as a weather vane for WM Motor's future design.

On the side of the body, the high waistline and low nose design strengthen and lower the visual center. The "Bernoulli" streamlined roof descends smoothly, guiding the air to flow smoothly over the body surface. Coupled with the dynamic rear wing, the negative pressure at the rear of the car is effectively reduced. It perfectly conforms to the streamlines and curves that naturally occur under high-speed airflow, achieving the lowest drag coefficient of 0.23 in its class.

The integration of aesthetic design and intelligent hardware interaction is another highlight of the WM Maven. The unfolded light strips at the front and rear of the vehicle have a flowing effect, and the iconic hidden door handles give the vehicle more interactive capabilities, making getting on and off the vehicle more ceremonial and creating an easy and fun travel experience.

Multi-dimensional interactive experience, creating a new era of "extremely intelligent cockpit"

Taking into full consideration the changes in the cockpit experience brought about by autonomous driving, WM Maven adopts an innovative adaptive cockpit design to meet the needs of different travel scenarios through screen movement and steering wheel retraction settings.

The interior lines of WM Maven are simple and light, the number of screens is simplified, transparent screens are used to reduce the screen's presence, the number of physical buttons is greatly reduced, and vehicle interaction is achieved through multi-dimensional methods such as voice commands, gesture control, and biometrics to create a new era of extremely intelligent cockpit.

800km ultra-long driving range, L4 autonomous driving capability

The WM Maven is equipped with WM's third-generation Living Motion three-electric energy system, which, together with the new high-efficiency, low-power motor, excellent drag coefficient and lightweight body technology, can control the power consumption within 14kWh/100km, further improving the endurance. The NEDC comprehensive range is up to 800km.

In terms of autonomous driving, WM Maven is equipped with WM's independently developed Living Pilot intelligent driving assistance system, which can achieve L3 level autonomous driving in all speed ranges and L4 level autonomous driving in specific scenarios, such as automatic parking.

What is even more amazing is that the Living Engine full-vehicle interactive system equipped in the WM Maven has emotional perception and active services based on big data perception. It can sense the driver's status through cameras and microphones and provide the driver with functions such as comfort, refreshment, and boredom relief. That is, based on driving scenarios and user big data, it actively predicts the driver's real-time needs and actively provides services through scenario-based intelligence.

Thanks to WM Motor's strong technical reserves and R&D capabilities, WM Motor Maven adopts the Living Architecture intelligent electronic and electrical architecture independently developed by WM Motor and built entirely based on user scenarios. Through the high-energy core processor processing unit and hybrid domain control unit, the vehicle function logic can be freely defined, bringing unlimited possibilities for smart travel scenarios. At the same time, it also supports super software iteration capabilities, and can achieve full vehicle software updates in 5 minutes.

In addition, the 5G interconnection technology equipped in WM Maven has the characteristics of high speed and low latency, creating a network foundation for realizing L4 level autonomous driving, high-definition in-car entertainment, high-precision map access, and V2X Internet of Everything.
