This is the first time I have come to pick up the car myself, and it is also the first time that I have touched the car keys."

As to why he chose the extreme Krypton 009 brilliant version, Zhou Hongyi responded that the front configuration of the vehicle is not important, he values the performance of the vehicle in terms of space, comfort, safety and privacy, and the extreme Krypton 009 brilliant version meets his needs in these areas.

The requirements for the selection of vehicles are that the comfort and sense of space in the back row are strong enough, the second is the active and passive safety configuration is in place, the third is the intelligent cockpit closer to the artificial intelligence assistant, the fourth is the need for partition between the front row and the back row, and pay attention to the privacy of the back row. The last point must be a domestic brand.

Data show that: polar krypton 009 brilliant version on April 19, positioning medium and large MPV, the price is 789000 yuan. As a four-seat version of the polar krypton 009, the polar krypton 009 brilliant version is mainly a luxury upgrade to the interior of the vehicle, abolishing the third row of seats and adopting a large four-seat layout. The rear row is equipped with a separate ultra-deluxe double cockpit to support the lying mode.
