How far is the test drive performance of "Million Luxury Car" Aion LX from Tesla Model X?

Guangzhou Automobile New Energy Aion? LX attracted a lot of popularity when it was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show last year. The design of this car is quite beautiful. It uses the 8 1 1 battery of Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. and has a cruising range of more than 600 kilometers under the NEDC standard.

Eternal tower? LX design is very beautiful

Aion at the end of last year? LX goes on the market, and the subsidized price is 229,600-349,600 yuan, which is also the highest among independent brand new energy vehicles. However, manufacturers are obviously more confident. Xiao Yong, deputy general manager of GAC New Energy, declared in an interview: "This is not a million-class traditional luxury fuel vehicle. Don't compare with our car. We are confident ... "

So we test drive Aion separately? More than 800,000 yuan of LX and Tesla models? After X, what is the difference between the two in driving experience? Really like Mr Xiao said: "Tesla's crowd, we should attract them ...".

Appearance: Aion? LX is more beautiful, but I choose Model? X

Models? X's eagle wing door is not practical, but it is also cool.

Frankly speaking, compared with other Tesla models, as an SUV model? X is the ugliest one, with uncoordinated body proportions, like an oversized crossover. But models? X is also really cool, partly because it is Tesla and partly because it uses the eagle wing door.

Eternal tower? LX is a very beautiful car in design, and it can even be said to be one of the most beautiful independent brands at present. Tiffany's blue body color and 20-inch large wheels make the slip back design more perfect. But this quite successful design, on the Tesla brand and model? Under the cool appearance of X, there is no advantage at all.

Can you say Aion? LX is not as cool as Tesla. The fundamental reason is that the brand and technology of GAC New Energy cannot support such a cool design.

Luxury: Not luxury, but Tesla stack is better.

With the standard of 800,000 luxury cars, models? X's interior is quite thick.

800 thousand Tesla model? X, in fact, except for the central control big screen, it is cool, but the workmanship details and luxury are not as good as the BBA of 500 thousand. In this regard, the old driver has a special feeling. After all, Tesla is a typical American style, not exquisite.

Eternal tower? LX interior luxury car design elements too much?

Tesla is not luxurious and exquisite, but it is very individual and original. So you sit alone? The cockpit of LX is another feeling. Everything looks beautiful, but it is also familiar. For example, the screen of the center console is a familiar Mercedes-Benz style, and the shift handle of the center console is original Jaguar, but their texture and display effect still can't meet the standards of luxury cars.

Or more popularly, the combination of appearance and interior, the model? x？ The price is 80.99-90.99 million, or some people think it is not expensive, but Aion? The price of LX is 249.6-349.6 thousand, and not many people think it is very cost-effective.

Dynamic performance: not a level, Aion? LX did a good job.

Teslink is full of science and technology, and this is strength.

Even the weakest model? X long battery life version, its 100 km acceleration only takes 4.6 seconds, the strongest Aion? LX accelerates 100 kilometers without losing Tesla. But we test drive Aion designed by single motor? LX？ 80, the front motor torque is 350Nm, and the maximum power output is 150kW, so its acceleration is not fierce.

In fact, the acceleration ratio of electric vehicles 100 km is of little significance. I am more concerned about whether this powerful power is linear and smooth in daily driving and whether NVH performance is the standard of luxury cars.

I still remember driving some self-owned brand electric cars and then driving Tesla. I can't help but sigh that Tesla is a good car. Tesla's full range of models can be said to be more than one million fuel vehicles in terms of power quality. In addition to Tesla's real technical content, it is also related to the fact that electric motors are inherently superior to fuel engines.

Eternal tower? LX？ Driving feels more like an electric traditional fuel car.

Then open this Aion of GAC New Energy? LX？ At 80 minutes, I was surprised that its dynamic performance was very close to that of Tesla. Its whole acceleration process is smooth and linear, not as fierce as Tesla, a bit like the civilization of Jaguar I-PACE, with an acceleration of 4.8 seconds per 100 kilometers. This is the way I like it.

Finally, the tower of eternity? How far is LX from the million-class luxury car?

Eternal tower? The chassis and suspension of LX are not surprising, even at the same level as Tesla, and there is still a stiff situation. After all, more than 2 tons of cars are not easy to control, and the air suspension has never been used. In terms of texture, Aion? LX seems to be a little cheap, which affects its sense of advanced.

Eternal tower? LX？ Touch screen is not easy to use

Eternal tower? LX also has something to vomit. For example, it integrates all operations including driving mode into the touch screen, and the experience of this system is very general, and the touch is very insensitive. Imagine that when driving, you have to reach a long distance to change a driving mode. If it doesn't work once, press it again. ......

But even so, I still praise the designers and engineering R&D personnel of GAC New Energy, despite Aion? LX is not perfect, but they have built an electric SUV that may be the highest level of their own brands.

But the question is, Aion? Is LX really better than Tesla?

In fact, everyone knows this question better than me. If forever? LX and Tesla have the same price, and everyone knows how to choose. Maybe a model? X size and class are higher, future models? Y is closer, but everyone knows how to choose.

So lonely? The problem with LX is that it is very serious to build a car, but the leadership's propaganda about "million-class luxury cars" is a bit too much.
