Summary of 20 19 new car test drive: pure electric vehicle

20 19 has just passed. This year, I tested a lot of new energy vehicles and witnessed the progress of different brands in new energy technology. It's the Lunar New Year again, and it's the end of the year. Let me sum up my feelings after testing many models in this year, and help you choose a favorite "good car" to go home for the New Year as the New Year approaches. Let's talk about pure electric vehicles first. (This paper only summarizes the test drive models of the editors, and does not completely cover all the new cars pushed by 20 19. )

Byd: e 1, e2, Qin Pro? EV Qin EV

Thanks to the birth of e-platform, BYD's speed of launching pure electric vehicles has also accelerated. 20 19 Throughout the year, BYD successively launched various pure electric vehicles, and I also tested all of them when they were launched. As far as the overall feeling is concerned, although BYD's pure electric vehicles cover multiple levels, and the comparability between the models is not strong, after the test drive, BYD can still clearly feel the continuous progress and improvement in the setting of the three-electric system and chassis adjustment. For different users of different models, it can provide a sense of driving quality beyond the price of their models, and on this basis, different models can have different distinct personalities, which is particularly important for the models themselves.

-e 1

Specific to the model, BYD first launched e 1 9 in 20 19, earlier. E 1, as the most affordable model in BYD pure electric vehicles, has created extremely light handling performance in the driving experience with its compact body. Although mini-cars are basically born to meet the demand for cars, it is difficult to give consideration to the quality of vehicles. However, the excellent driving performance and chassis comfort provided by e 1 on this basis are definitely worth mentioning compared with the same class models.

In terms of configuration, the high-equipped e 1 model is also equipped with BYD's iconic rotary central control display, built-in 4G signal and application store, which supports the download of various entertainment applications, and can also watch videos and listen to music online. Compared with the same price model, these performances definitely have excellent cost performance.

The fly in the ointment is that e 1 is not delicate enough in handling many details of vehicles. For example, the seams of the exterior body are too large, the door texture is too simple, and the seat comfort is not good. Of course, from the point of view of just needing a car, these problems are completely acceptable. After all, the driving quality of e 1 is still good.

-e2

In addition to e 1, BYD also introduced the pure electric compact hatchback e2 in 20 19. In fact, judging from the number of competing models, the market segment where e2 is located is relatively small, but judging from the practicality of the model itself, it is very necessary for a model like e2 to exist in the market. First of all, the body structure of its hatchback will be very convenient to control and park when driving in narrow sections of the city. Secondly, thanks to the positioning of compact cars, e2 has more advantages and practical significance than most pure electric hatchbacks in internal space.

This kind of car is absolutely very easy to drive for beginners or female drivers who are not very good at driving. Especially for mothers who need to bring their babies, the trunk space is enough to put down the stroller, and the rear space and seat comfort are also very high. Even if you travel with your baby for a long time, you don't have to worry that the child will be uncomfortable sitting in the back row, so the practical performance of e2 is still very worthy of recognition.

Similarly, e2 has some minor disadvantages. Although e2 is also equipped with a rotating central control display with many practical functions and App download functions built in, the heating function of the rear window and the lack of rear wiper have a certain impact on observing the situation behind the car when driving in rainy and snowy weather. At the same time, the setting of the whole system without skylights is somewhat contrary to the focus of domestic users' car selection, which will affect consumers' purchase more or less.

-Qin Qin? electric vehicle

Qin series models are of great significance to BYD. As an early new energy vehicle in the same level market, Qin trains have always had a good reputation in the market. At the beginning of 20 19, the first car I tested was Qin Pro? EV. The special feature of that test drive was that the test drive environment at that time was Tianjin Wuqing Circuit. You know, although Qin is close? EV positioning is relatively sporty, but the level is still in the family car market. It is actually a crazy thing to be dragged to the track to test drive the family car. Fortunately, Qin Qin The actual performance of EV on the track is still very worthy of recognition.

Qin Pro? The acceleration performance of EV on the track is still excellent compared with the same class, and the dynamic response is very rapid. The vehicle can provide excellent handling experience in corners, and the steering directivity is also excellent. Slightly insufficient is that the foot feel of the brake pedal is soft, and there is no problem in daily driving, but for the fierce driving on the track, the braking force of the brake system is released a little late.

A few months later, I tested Qin Pro again in the venue environment. EV super edition. Although there is no obvious difference in driving experience compared with the previous models, the improvement in configuration and battery life is still very worthy of recognition. For example, the addition of holographic images enhances the practical significance in the parking process. But whether it is the former or the latter, Qin Qin? EV's thinness in assisted driving makes its cost performance slightly lower than that of competing models at the same price.

-Qin EV

After Qin Qin? EV is about the last BYD model I tested on 20 19, which is the brand-new Qin EV. Before the launch of Qin Pro, Qin was basically the "flagship" car among BYD's new energy vehicles, and it also accumulated a good reputation in the market because of its early listing. Compared with the old models, the new Qin EV has been upgraded in all aspects, such as vehicle design and power system setting. At the same time, its positioning should be more household, focusing on large space, long battery life and rich configuration. From these points of view, the performance of Xinqin EV is still good, and it has done well in all aspects.

When I was test-driving the brand-new Qin EV, I happened to participate in the endurance challenge organized by the government. The lowest power consumption per 100 kilometers of the new Qin EV really surprised me, because I have never driven such a low power consumption, even on a smaller and lighter model than the new Qin EV. Although the speed of running out of this power consumption was relatively low at that time, only about 40km/h, this performance is definitely worthy of attention.

In addition, the mobile App supported by Xinqin EV has more car control functions. Users can not only check the vehicle status through the mobile phone, but also remotely control the vehicle parking directly through the mobile phone, which is more convenient than the previous need for separate key control. Moreover, through the Bluetooth key function of the mobile phone, the user can drive the vehicle with the mobile phone without any other operation, and the performance in convenience far exceeds that of the same price model.

Geometric car: geometry a

Geely 20 19 can be said that the main push in pure electric vehicles is the Geometric A model. The brand-new brand image and brand-new vehicle design and positioning have made Geometry A get a lot of attention among users. The test drive of Geometry A is also the most impressive of all my test drive experiences in 20 19 years. The two test drives were long-distance test drives, and the last round-trip test drive from Sanya to Haikou gave me a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle state of Geometry A.

Generally speaking, the driving quality of Geometry A is excellent, and the fabric seats can provide excellent physical support, as well as the rear seats, which is also a very rare performance in the same level. The addition of auxiliary driving function greatly reduces the fatigue of drivers in long-distance driving. However, it is slightly insufficient that after the auxiliary driving function is turned on, the process of turning on the turn signal to merge into the road needs to be completed manually by the driver, and the vehicle cannot actively merge into the road. At the same time, at the moment when the turn signal is turned on, the vehicle will change from adaptive cruise to constant speed cruise. At this time, there is a speed difference between the set speed and the actual speed, and the vehicle will accelerate automatically. If you are too close to the car in front at this time, it is likely to cause unnecessary accidents. This point needs to be paid attention to in the auxiliary driving function of geometry A.

In addition, the relatively extreme throttle response of two optional driving modes, ECO and Sport, is also an aspect that drivers need to get used to. Geometry A's throttle response is too slow in ECO mode, but it is a bit radical in sport mode. What is lacking during this period is a standard model that can take care of everything, so users can only adapt themselves to the vehicle. However, when it comes to overall performance, the appearance of Geometry A is still outstanding in design, and details such as hidden door handles are particularly prominent in the sense of technology. The rich performance in configuration has improved the cost performance of the whole vehicle.

Guangzhou Automobile New Energy: Aion? S

Competition with Geometry A and Qin Pro is relatively direct, belonging to the same level of Aion? S is up. Eternal Tower was launched in April 20 19? S is also one of the most popular pure electric vehicles in the whole year, and it is being developed, with 8 1 1 battery, 500km+ endurance performance, L2-class assisted driving, etc., the eternal tower? S has too many scientific and technological labels, and from the perspective of official propaganda, it has almost become the scientific and technological spokesperson of the same class of vehicles.

In terms of actual driving experience, Aion? S's driving experience is still good, and the whole vehicle first gives users a strong sense of advanced sense from the senses. Excellent design plus heavy materials and workmanship are Aion? S surpasses the opponent's obvious advantages, and this sense of high quality also extends to the driving quality. I'm interested in the tower of eternity? S test drive is also a long-distance test, nearly 500 kilometers of test process, on the one hand, Aion? S shows controllable endurance performance, on the other hand, Aion? S also performs well in vehicle driving quality and ride comfort. The whole day's long-distance driving didn't make me and my colleagues feel the slightest physical fatigue, which is difficult for other vehicles of the same class to do.

Euler: R 1

In addition to the traditional established manufacturers, I was deeply impressed by the new force models I tested in 20 19. The first one was Euler R 1. While driving BYD e 1, we also borrowed an Euler R 1, which is a natural contrast. Surprisingly, compared with e 1, R 1, as an early model of a new brand, performed very well in driving experience. As mentioned above, mini-cars are basically born to meet the demand for cars, and it is difficult to take into account other aspects of vehicle performance while taking into account the cost performance, but this is completely different for R 1, which is difficult to find in mini-cars.

R 1 The overall driving experience is outstanding, the chassis adjustment is very delicate, and the city driving comfort is very high. For the price of R 1, it is difficult to find out what is wrong with its driving quality, which also includes battery life and power consumption. Moreover, R 1 performs well in configuration, and the central control system supporting 4G signals also supports functions such as listening to online music. As for other aspects, R 1 is not satisfactory because of its general storage space and limited practicability. Of course, this is also a common problem at the same level, and e 1 is no exception.

Leading: S0 1

Leading S0 1 is the model with the highest expectation before driving among all the models I tested in 20 19. As a coupe, I believe that everyone's first concern is the driving experience of the vehicle. Unfortunately, the performance of S0 1 is somewhat unsatisfactory.

When you come into contact with the S0 1 real car, you can see from many details of vehicle design that this emerging brand wants to build a truly intelligent and easy-to-use car, but in fact the result is still far from this goal. Although S0 1 provides manual mode switching in driving mode and steering force adjustment, you will find that the compactness of Coupe is completely beyond your actual driving experience. Fortunately, thanks to the light and compact body and high driving flexibility, this is not a problem for other models of S0 1 size. In addition, during the trial, because the driver assistance function was not turned on, I didn't realize the actual use feeling of the related functions.

From the configuration point of view, the configuration of S0 1 is basically the mainstream level, and the functions such as online audio-visual entertainment and OTA upgrade that are generally equipped with pure electric vehicles of the same price are also equipped on S0 1. What people just can't understand is that the back seat of S0 1 is completely meaningless to adults. Firstly, there is not enough space, secondly, the seat is completely uncomfortable, and the rear floor is uneven, which makes the rear row of S0 1 look like a chicken rib. So as far as the overall feeling is concerned, the leading officials obviously want to do a good job, but judging from the actual feeling of S0 1, the engineering team that seems to be leading still has a long way to go. Because they didn't turn S0 1 into the sporty and fun-driving car that people expected.

Tesla: Model? three

Tesla's models will never lack attention. Just a name. Nothing yet. In most people's minds, such as "spontaneous combustion?" What's wrong with autopilot? What did Musk do? "And so on, a similar guess would have. Similarly, although we have the model? It is late, but there are still many people who care about its performance. For the model? I didn't pull my car around the track or mountain road like others. Let me tell you the difference between it and Series 3 and A4L. But a test drive model? In the process of 3, I experienced a model in a down-to-earth way? 3 car owners' daily car use.

I have to say that when the phoenix falls to the homes of ordinary people, it will always expose some problems that you can't see in the sky. As far as driving is concerned, there is no problem for Model to be qualified for family travel, although the direction is a bit heavy when parking at low speed, although swiping the card to unlock it always makes me feel like taking a bus or something. But these questions will not be a problem after they are really opened, because they are really easy to open. It's just that the details are a little surprising

First of all, the front floor is actually convex rather than flat. Secondly, the position along the sun visor on the front windshield will inexplicably form a sense of depression in the driver's head, which is completely caused by the uncoordinated layout between the body contour and the seat. Like these "small problems" that are not easily detected by the senses, once discovered, they will always feel that they are not good enough, or that they are not human. It is not difficult to see from this point that although it is a new brand of pure electric vehicle, but the model? It still has the careless feeling of an American classic car. Personally, I don't reject American cars, and even some classic models are my favorites. But in creating a sense of luxury in making cars, I still insist that Americans will never learn to "moisten things quietly."

Volkswagen: Electronic Golf

To say that among all the models I tested in 20 19, I must love and hate e-Golf. Speaking of driving experience, e-Golf is a pure electric hatchback that I think can provide the most ideal driving and handling feeling so far. It perfectly combines the driving and handling advantages of the golf fuel version, and with the help of the pure electric power system, the driving comfort is further sublimated. This kind of linear direct response and the sensitive control of the whole vehicle's driving texture, you will never find the second one like the e-Golf in the current models of the same price or level. Therefore, e-Golf has performed well in driving, which is really fascinating.

Of course, serious injuries are really hurtful, that is, the NEDC endurance performance of e-Golf is only 255 kilometers. It's short, but reliable. Otherwise, I will be lucky enough to meet the project engineer of e-Golf in my lifetime, and I will definitely ask him how much fake wine he drank when designing this car. In addition, Volkswagen's consistent "just right" is also a big advantage of e-Golf. It doesn't have many gorgeous configurations, but every function it is equipped with is the configuration that users have the highest daily car use rate and need to assemble most. In my personal opinion, the configuration of e-Golf is completely beyond my ability except that the navigation of the original car is really not easy to use. Fortunately, navigation is not easy to use. Play with cars? Life is solved.

Qichen: D60EV

If I had to choose a car with the lightest driving quality of the year, my answer would be Qichen D60EV. In the driving sense of almost all pure electric vehicles, you will more or less feel the "falling feeling" brought by the weight of the power battery pack. Although this kind of feeling is difficult for you to experience in many models at present, when you feel this kind of feeling, you will indirectly feel that the driving feeling of the vehicle is not light enough. However, you can't feel this feeling at all on the D60EV. The D60EV's driving feel is so light that you want to decorate the car and hold it down.

Of course, this description is somewhat exaggerated, but the fact is that this portability has brought more convenient steering and more flexible vehicle dynamic response to the family car. All these can make the driver better control the vehicle, especially in relatively narrow road conditions, and the relaxed driving experience will make the driver less nervous. In terms of driving quality, the D60EV is similar to a fuel car, and the kinetic energy recovery system will not interfere with the driver at all, even the old drivers of fuel cars can easily get started driving the D60EV.

Nissan: Xuanyi Chundian

Xuanyi pure electric was the only test drive model I in 20 19, which was not launched that year. Coincidentally, Sylphy pure electric is also the longest test drive model in 20 19, which lasted for three days. The test drive of Xuanyi Pure Electric is also in Hainan, starting from Haikou and all the way down to Sanya on the east side of the coastal South Island. This long-distance and long-term driving has given me a deep understanding of Xuanyi pure electricity.

Among the current pure electric compact cars, Sylphy pure electric is one of the few models that can provide excellent driving experience. The endorsement of a joint venture brand makes all aspects of Xuanyi pure electric performance very balanced, especially in terms of power consumption. Before the official listing of Xinqin EV, the average power consumption performance of Xuanyi pure electric vehicle per 100 kilometers was about 1 1kWh, which was definitely the most ideal vehicle of its class. In terms of configuration, although Xuanyi Pure Power does not have many eye-catching technology configurations, active safety configurations such as parallel lane assistance, lane departure warning and active safety braking are still equipped. In terms of practical functions, the front and rear seats are equipped with functions such as heating, navigation and online music playback, which further enhances the cost performance of Xuanyi pure electric. The fly in the ointment is that Sylphy pure electric also has the problem of short battery life, which may be the main reason affecting its sales.

Renault: e Nuo

Dongfeng Renault's first pure electric vehicle, E- Nuo, can be said to be the mini-car I am most looking forward to in 20 19 years. From the positioning point of view, e Nuo is actually somewhat entangled. The official positioning of Enoch is mini pure electric SUV, but I personally think Enoch is more suitable for being classified as a mini car. Regardless of positioning, Enoch's performance is excellent in terms of driving experience. Compared with R 1 at the same price, E-Nuo has better chassis adjustment and inherits the advantages of French cars. In addition, Enoch has excellent sense of control, linear symmetry and excellent directivity at both high speed and low speed. Especially in brake adjustment, the release of braking force with pedaling gives the driver confidence.

If I have to find fault in an egg, I can only say that the pedal of the E-NO brake is a little small. This kind of brake pedal, which is similar to manual gear, always finds the clutch with its left foot at the moment of stepping on it. In addition, the driving experience is almost perfect for Enoch's price. The most important thing is that the storage space of the whole E-car is excellent, and the front row and door panel can well accommodate all kinds of items carried with you, while the trunk space has obvious advantages compared with similar models. The intention of these details is definitely a plus item of E's commitment.

Summary of this article: That's all for the test drive experience of pure electric vehicles, and I will bring you a test drive summary of pure electric SUV models later. There will be more key models and more topics, so don't miss the checkpoint!
