  Speaking of the car sunroof, I think everyone will be familiar with it, especially in the era when this skylight has been fully popularized, it has basically become the standard of the car.

  According to our understanding of the skylight, it is nothing more than ordinary sunroof, panoramic sunroof, solar sunroof and other types, which can play a role of ventilation, energy saving and defogging, but its shape and function It was also after nearly a hundred years of precipitation that it slowly matured and shaped.

  Let's take a look at how the car sunroof has evolved in the mighty history.

  01 manual sunroof (1932 to present)

  The skylight is not the day since the car was born. The earliest available sunroof is the Austin Seven Box Saloon, which was produced in 1932. The skylight on the car is a manual sunroof.

  At that time, the original intention of the car manufacturer was to make the car have a good lighting effect. I did not expect it to be such a simple and rude design, creating a precedent for the car sunroof.

  02 built-in skylight (1973-present)

  The most common sliding openable sunroofs at major automakers are first introduced by John Atkinson in the 1973 Ford Lincoln Continental Mark IV.

  The built-in sunroof is the most common skylight structure available today, offering both opening and opening. This design can meet more needs than the manual sunroof.

  Because the sunroof is fully opened, the sunroof will be stored in the mezzanine of the roof, so it will occupy a part of the space inside the car.

  Therefore, models with built-in sunroofs are often limited in the rear head space.

  03 external sunroof (1973-present)

  Some models have limited space inside the car, and the arc of the roof is too large. At this time, the built-in sunroof has no use, so this structure is relatively simple, and does not sacrifice the space in the rear of the car. The installation cost is also more. The outer skylight with advantages has emerged as the times require.

  This sunroof can be tilted outwards, opened at a certain angle, and has a limited opening size, which is generally applied to small and medium-sized cars.

  04 panoramic sunroof (1941 to present)

  In fact, the originator of the panoramic sunroof is the Lincoln Continental Derham Coupe produced in 1941.

  At that time, in order to solve the problem of lighting inside the double-door trotting and the feeling of depression, the designer replaced the previous metal roof with a transparent material roof, which gave birth to the world's first panoramic sunroof.

  The panoramic sunroof is generally large in size, and even the roof is a piece of glass. The passenger can sit in the car and see the scenery above.

  Nowadays, panoramic sunroofs can be generally divided into closed type, segmented open type and integral open type. However, products that seem to be so perfect have some shortcomings, such as higher cost; dust needs to be cleaned, otherwise it will affect the line of sight.

  Of course, in addition to the above typical car sunroofs, there are also a variety of innovative designs with large brain openings, such as louvered sunroofs, solar sunroofs, LED lighting sunroofs, and improved double-door sunroofs.

  05Aion S: Beyond the existence of peers

  In the more than half a century of car sunroof development, in the face of the endless skylight design, GAC New Energy still adheres to the unique innovative spirit, and truly builds every car, Aion S is their masterpiece.

  If you use a word to describe the skylight of Aion S, it is "big".

  Aion S has not only the panoramic sunroof that can be opened, but also the large size beyond the same level. The sunroof has a length of 900mm and a width of 860mm, and has a large lighting area of 0.48 square meters.

  Not only that, the one-button electric anti-pinch shade and the voice-controlled sunroof also make the ergonomics of the whole car the ultimate, which is the finishing touch.

  And Aion S as a new energy pure electric car, of course, can not let go of the opportunity to use solar energy.

  As the world's first model with a solar self-circulating eco-cockpit, Aion S installed solar power modules in the sunroof glass interlayer to automatically generate electricity when the temperature inside the car exceeds a certain value, creating automatic ventilation and creating a “cool” Comfortable interior environment.

  At the same time, the battery can be charged to avoid the battery loss caused by the vehicle parking for a long time.

  An excellent sunroof can add extra points to the car's face value.

  The Aion S is like this. The black suspension roof is combined with the oversized panoramic sunroof and the “high-energy pulse” waistline and the “night star rail” trim on the side of the body to form a strong contrasting layer, highlighting the strong beauty of fashion technology.

  It must be said that such a "flawy" skylight has completely subverted our inherent impression of the car sunroof, and this is precisely the strong competitiveness and product power of Aion S.

  As a domestic electric vehicle to catch up with and even surpass the international first-line electric car brand products, Aion S will certainly hand over a satisfactory answer.
