Just like the e-star experienced in the last issue, when domestic consumers choose new energy pure electric models, the irresistible topic is pure electric mini car, a new energy car that can be put on the "green card" and replaced by the city, while starting with low cost. Coincidentally, when visiting the terminal last year, the sales of many dealers said: "the second-hand residual value rate of new energy vehicles is low, it's not affordable to spend a large price, so it's OK to buy a cheap car and take a number." It is also true that the top ten new energy sales in the whole year last year include new energy, R1, etc. However, the official guide price of the aion LX that came to us this time has reached 249600-349600 yuan, and the model we experienced is the sub top matching version with a price of 299600 yuan. So what is the ability of GAC new energy to persuade domestic consumers to spend 300000 yuan on an electric vehicle? "Face" is enough to meet the needs of most people in the European market. Most people in the North American market pursue the practical and goods. Different from the above two markets, the domestic automobile has entered into thousands of households for only a few decades, so the automobile is to some extent a manifestation of family strength. This makes a car not only a means of transportation, but also an embodiment of identity. It is also known as "face". The "face" mentioned here does not contain derogatory meaning, because this process is the only way for the development of every automobile market. The European and American markets have also experienced it, but we are just experiencing it. As the saying goes, "existence is right." One of the main reasons why the retrograde aion LX can make it reasonable is that it gives consumers enough face. LX is the first model of GAC new energy aion and the flagship pure electric SUV of GAC new energy. It adopts the exclusive pure electric gep2.0 platform instead of the previous ge3, which is still the "oil to electricity" model. Because this car belongs to aion series, the design language is naturally more suitable for aion s, which was launched earlier. However, the overall design of SUV body is stretched longitudinally, which makes the stereo sense better. In particular, the bumper like a wind blade at the bottom gives this medium-sized SUV a good sense of movement. It is worth mentioning that this dynamic bumper does not have its own watch. The two sides have been hollowed out, which has played a certain role in improving the aerodynamic performance. It will not be ridiculed as an "appearance" like other "unworthy" car owners. Aion LX's unique smoky wheel shape is not easy to get into trouble at first sight. The price of a single Michelin pilot sport 4 SUV tire with a specification of 245 / 50 R20 is about 1500 yuan, which is enough "face". In addition, the rear-view mirror and the C-pillar of the suspension model are all covered with carbon fiber like materials, and the treatment of visible details is also in line with the preferences of the Chinese people. As for the hidden handle to reduce the wind resistance, it has been a common design for new energy models. It is unnecessary to elaborate on it when it is put on the model of 300000 yuan. In addition, the tail of aion LX is what gives enough "face". Although it is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, its design is not overstaffed. The exaggerated deflector, combined with the back sliding model, highlights the tail lamp to form a "duck tail" to create a rather lively posture. However, compared with the appearance of the interior, it's still too convergent. After experiencing the interior of aion LX, I really feel that 300000 yuan is worth something. The whole interior adopts the "t" shape setting, which is nothing special, especially on the top of the glove box in front of the co driver. Although it's a leather veneer imitating the stitching, it will be found that it's hard to feel after touching it with practical hands. It doesn't look like a 300000 yuan car at all. Is that really the case? Not at all. The first is the steering wheel, which adopts the multi-functional design of double amplitude. The reason why we need to put it out is that the representative model of double amplitude steering wheel is Maybach S-class. This retro design is now given a new meaning of "high end". The aion LX with double steering wheel undoubtedly gives the driver a "high profile" and face. But in fact, the steering wheel is easy to confuse up and down when parking by itself. Fortunately, the aion LX is also equipped with automatic parking function. At present, the method of connecting the instrument panel and the central control screen is popular in the interior design of the car, and the stereotyped modeling inevitably makes people feel a little tired of aesthetics. However, aion LX has made some changes. Although it is still a screen in one, it adopts hyperbolic screen, which is more friendly to the driver and reduces the chance of screen reflection. The only drawback is that the connected screen looks huge, but the black frame is also very "rugged". It may be uncomfortable to see us who are used to the comprehensive screen. In addition, the gearshift mechanism of the new car is a knob that can be raised and lowered. It is undeniably similar to other luxury brand models, but it really increases the sense of ritual when opening the car. Not only that, the central control's hollowing out process makes the block handle area "suspend", like the control console of the spaceship in the science fiction film, full of b-grid. Finally, the material of interior roof and door panel of aion LX. Because of its flame-retardant, heat insulation and other characteristics, the turned over Alcantara usually appears on the performance car with high price. In the past, it has also been considered as a high-grade material by consumers. In the interior of aion s of GAC new energy, Alcantara is covered on the roof, seats and four door panels. When you enter the car, you will feel a "high-level sense". No matter the visual effect or the touch, this car will not let you lose face. Since the price of "dazzling" configuration has reached 300000 yuan, the tradition of "high cost performance" of domestic cars has naturally reached its acme. Among them, the most valuable function undoubtedly comes from the seat. Aion LX's seats are not only perforated leather with Alcantara suede, but also one-piece seats. The driver's seat has powerful functions, supporting 10 electric adjustments, as well as memory, heating, ventilation, leg support, comfortable access and other functions. At the same time, the copilot also has 10 electric adjustment and heating functions, just like hundreds of thousands of luxury brand models. When it comes to luxury brands, Maybach's 26 sound Berlin sound and 16 sound Baohua Weijian are well-known car stereos. It seems that the number of stereos has become one of the factors measuring the quality of a car. In this respect, aion LX is not bad. It uses alpai audio from Japan. The whole car is equipped with 10 speakers. You should know that the price of Mercedes Benz and BMW with about 20 speakers has reached 2-3 million yuan. Aion LX with 10 speakers only needs their small parts. At the same time, in the central control setting, you can drag the sound field at will to control the sound effect of each position, and the sound volume can also change with the speed, which is more user-friendly. Next is this curved screen, not only has built-in voice, map, Bluetooth and other car apps, the most critical screen can basically control all settings including doors, skylights, trunk, seats, rear-view mirrors, steering wheel and so on, even if these settings have been equipped with exclusive buttons in the exclusive position, so that it is convenient for people in the car to control the vehicle. Even though it is already so comprehensive, there is still a need for tucking out. The trunk can be opened through the central control panel, the left function key of the steering wheel and the remote control key, but only the independent switch on the outside of the backdoor door can make complaints about beauty, but it will be found to be somewhat remote if it is used. Aion LX has three driving modes: Eco, normal and sport. In each mode, the system theme background will change to light blue, dark blue and orange. At the same time, the dashboard also has three theme styles, which can be combined with up to nine different styles. Having said so many configurations and central control screens, aion LX with this performance is worth it. However, when starting the vehicle, it takes a little too long for the central control screen to wake up. It takes about 10-15 seconds to enter the system desktop after being fixed in the interface of GAC new energy. I hope that the subsequent OTA upgrade can be optimized. The power of "no need to worry" GAC new energy aion LX adopts front and rear dual motors, with a maximum power of 300kW (408ps) and a peak torque of 700n · M. because of the dual motors, the car adopts the four-wheel drive mode, and the official 100km acceleration performance has reached the level of 3.9s. To start with such a high-performance SUV, the first time must be to switch the vehicle to sport mode, and then find the right time to "electrify" the floor. Even if you have enough psychological preparation before stepping on it, the feeling of pushing back brought by acceleration is a little amazing. It is related to the driving form of pure electric vehicle. When accelerating rapidly, the speed does not rise in a step-by-step way, but just like being kicked behind, and the acceleration feeling is very rapid. At the moment of stepping on the "electricity", the center of gravity of the car body shifts backward, and the peak torque of 700n · m even makes the 245 / 50 R20 Michelin tire lose its grip and struggle for a moment. Even if it is only for one second, it immediately ignites the driver's driving desire like a pepper. The reason for this achievement is that the test drive is "on". In the coming April, GAC new energy will deliver an option - the ultimate acceleration package. This option is a software, similar to the ECU for the fuel car brush, which will release the hidden potential of the motor. At that time, the 100 km acceleration of aion LX will reach the official 3.9 seconds. With such a horrible acceleration experience, the new car can be compared with most sports cars after adding the optional package in the future. 300000 yuan has the performance of a million class sports car, who doesn't love the power of "playing pig and eating tiger"? But aion LX is different from sports car, with outstanding performance and not poor comfort. This car adopts the front McPherson type independent suspension and the rear multi link type independent suspension, with excellent overall adjustment. In daily driving, the chassis has a seat, the suspension pressure is too small to transmit to the car, and there is no excessive shaking. When driving across the shoulder or deceleration belt, the front and rear suspension performance is the same, the overall performance is clean and neat, no secondary rebound occurs, and the texture is relatively high. Here's one thing to note: Sport mode will not deliberately increase the suspension hardness. The vehicle is still comfortable, so in the case of fierce driving, experience the stimulation brought by acceleration. After all, this is a medium-sized SUV. At low speed, the steering wheel is extremely light. Twisting an SUV with a length of 4.7 meters does not feel any difficulty. It is more friendly to female drivers. With the increase of speed, the strength will gradually increase, but heavy hands will not be detected. The matching of the opening and closing degree of motor, accelerator and brake pedal is very close to the fuel vehicle. According to different modes and settings, the single pedal mode can be unlocked, which further simplifies the difficulty of urban car following. Finally, we will talk about the endurance. The pure electric endurance mileage of this sub top model is 600km, and the highest endurance even reaches 650km. With such endurance performance, it is basically close to the mileage that a tank of fuel can drive. That's exactly what it is. With this aion LX, there will be almost no
