TU-TESL

• 22

After the epidemic, we ushered in the first off-line test drive activity. The test drive model is the Zero run T03. T03 is the second car of Zero run automobile. It's very interesting that there are great differences between the audience groups of the two existing cars of Zero run. S01 has played a very small two door market independently, while T03 has entered the red sea of micro pure electric vehicle. Although the market of micro pure electric vehicle is very large, there is no lack of players in this market. There are both the old E1 and the R1 with the image of Dumeng. Now Wuling, the king of sales, has also launched Wuling Mini ev to enter this market. In the Red Sea market, the way to break the zero running T03 is high configuration. After seeing the T03 real car, @ 42 garage sent a micro blog, which surprised me that there are not a few friends looking forward to this car in the comment area. After this experience, I think the Zero run T03 has many advantages over the same level car in four aspects: configuration, endurance, power and chassis performance. It needs to be clear that our test drive vehicle is a trial production vehicle in the PP stage, some details will continue to be optimized in the next production, and the problems encountered in our test drive process have also been fed back to the Zero run staff. Are you satisfied with T03's beauty? As a product, appearance is an important factor influencing purchase decision, so let's look at appearance first. Most of the models in the mini car follow the lovely route of Dumeng, including the Zero run T03, which is also a verified route, provided that it is well coordinated. The oval headlights and C-shaped LED daytime running lights give people a very delicate first feeling. The front face of the Zero run T03 has two types: totally enclosed front face and honeycomb front face. Users can choose according to their preferences. The totally enclosed front face is fuller in the T03 vision and more "dumb" with the design of the headlight. Here's a detail. The gap between the front hatch cover of T03 and the front face is slightly larger, and the perceived quality will be slightly inferior. We also fed back this to the zero running staff, who will optimize it in the next mass production vehicle. Under the logo are fast charging and slow charging interfaces. When looking at the side of the car, it can be seen that T03 adopts the design of four wheels and four corners, with a length of 3620 mm and a wheelbase of 2400 mm. The overall design is also well coordinated. The wheel hub of T03 has two versions of 14 inch and 15 inch. The 14 inch wheel hub adopts a Y-shaped design. The overall shape is very good with the color of gun ash, but the actual car effect is slightly smaller. The 15 inch color contrast multi width wheel hub is fuller. According to the manufacturer's configuration plan, the low configuration model will use 14 inch wheel hub, and the high configuration model will use 15 inch wheel hub. In terms of the rear of the car, the T03 tail lamp also uses strip LED tail lamp, which is more exquisite than the traditional halogen bulb and dot led. Here's a summary of the appearance design of Zero run T03. Compared with the unique appearance of S01, the appearance of T03 is not amazing, but it's generally coordinated and has some pleasing delicacy, which is acceptable to most users. This is also a very important step for Zero run to open the market. In terms of color, T03 has five colors: blue, yellow, black, white and gray. For a small car, black, gray and blue are obviously too "business", and proper use of some bright colors can be more eye-catching. The minicar configuration is the highest? Let's start with a set of data comparisons. In terms of dimensions, T03 is nearly 20cm longer than that of the same model, and the wheelbase is 2400mm. The front row is adjusted to the colleague (178 Cm) after the proper sitting posture, I sit in the back row, and the leg space is still rich, and there will be no top leg situation, and the space under the front row seat is large enough to put the feet under the front row seat, and the overall sitting posture is not stifling. The combination of leather and suture is adopted for the seats of the high configuration model. The filler of the front seats is moderately soft and hard, but there is no package. The advantage is that the adjustment range is wide enough. For the mini car, the six manual adjustments for the main driver are rare. One problem to be pointed out is that T03, as an urban walking car, although there is no high-frequency demand for four seats, the demand for two people to travel is still high-frequency, while T03 The right wheel arch will occupy the passenger's leg space to a certain extent, and the passenger's right foot posture is not natural when riding normally. We have also fed back with Zero run, hoping to improve it on the mass production model. The rear seat cushion is thick enough, with soft padding. The backrest angle has certain advantages over the same level of models, but the padding is hard, there is no problem in short distance riding, and it will be tired in long distance. However, the T03 positioning is also a city walking car, which is not suitable for long distance running. Although T03 is a commuter car in the city, it still has sufficient care for the rear passengers. Most of the rear windows of the same model are non lifting negative pressure ventilation rear windows, while the Zero run T03 4 doors are all electric windows. In terms of the rear compartment, because T03 is not equipped with a spare wheel, the depth of the rear compartment is very deep, and there is more than enough for daily shopping. However, because the rear seat has a certain inclination, the available height is not high. If you need to transport large items, you can put the back seat down. However, it is a pity that there is no external physical open button in the T03 rear compartment. Each time the rear compartment needs to be opened, it can only be opened by long pressing the open button on the screen in the car or the rear compartment open button on the key, which will be inconvenient in the actual use process. In terms of the storage space in the car, there are convenient storage tanks near the door panel and the center console, and the space of the storage tank has not been excessively shrunk due to the size of the car body, which is still practical. In terms of interior design, although it is not so amazing, there is no obvious sense of cheapness when sitting in the car. The materials are still mainly hard plastic, and the areas frequently contacted by the door panel hands are all wrapped in soft leather. Although it's a PP car, the overall assembly process is in place. The seams of the interior covering parts are small, and there will be no abnormal noise or looseness in the interior when passing through the bumpy road sections. Here's more to say: Zero run automobile has a self built factory in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. The factory has passed four major processes (stamping, welding, spraying and general assembly). Among them, the stamping, welding and spraying of S01 are carried out in Jinhua factory, the general assembly is carried out in Hangzhou factory, and the stamping and general assembly of T03 are carried out in Jinhua self built factory. Finally, I will focus on configuration. There are two highlights in configuration. The first is high configuration. The second is the only model with L2 auxiliary driving function. I don't think there's much dispute about the high configuration. Let's compare the models of the same level and make a decision. For example, L2 auxiliary driving, remote control of mobile phone, keyless start, rear-view mirror heating, electronic hand brake, reversing image, automatic parking, dash cam, rear wheel disc brake and super large sky screen are very rare configurations of the same level. For the consumers who buy the second car as a courtesy car in many first tier cities, the first car of most people is not too bad, so on the basis of meeting the needs of the courtesy car, the higher the comfort configuration, the smaller the difference between the two cars, and the smaller the difference in the use experience. Let's talk about L2 assisted driving. The Zero run T03 is the only mini car equipped with L2 assisted driving. On the hardware, T03 is equipped with a front monocular camera, a millimeter wave radar and 11 ultrasonic radars (the first six and the second five). The front-end monocular camera is not only used to assist driving vehicle identification, but also to take into account the dash cam function. It does not mean Zero run and low cost. Instead, it is the advantage of high degree of integration brought by software self-development, which realizes more functions with lower cost. However, it is a pity that the self-developed L2 assisted driving system of zero running has not yet been opened. Only from the accuracy and stability of visual recognition, the system still has a lot of room to improve. Then let's talk about a problem. If there is no auxiliary driving model at the same level, is auxiliary driving a fake demand in a minicar? First of all, the applicable environment for assisted driving is only the closed sections such as high-speed and ring road. Second, T03 is positioned as a substitute vehicle, and there is no high-speed demand, that is to say, only the elevated short-distance travel is the place for zero running T03 assisted driving. Although the scope of use is relatively limited, it can be found that there is a specific group of people in this scenario, that is, users who commute to and from the first tier cities. According to the comment area and social communication records of our microblog, there is indeed a wave of people who want to have a minicar with assisted driving, so this is not a fake demand. However, it is necessary to weigh the relationship between cost and demand to decide whether to go to the auxiliary driving manufacturer or not. The parent company of Zero run is Dahua Technology, which has certain advantages over other vehicle enterprises in hardware and self-developed software, so in terms of cost, Zero run has certain advantages in cost compared with the packaging scheme of purchasing suppliers. According to the staff of Zero run, the price of top matching T03 with L2 auxiliary driving will be less than 80000 yuan. When I revealed the estimated selling price of the Zero run T03 on Weibo, many users who have bought the same level of car feel regret. So in terms of configuration, T03 is outstanding enough. The chassis texture is unexpected. For this level of small car, the three electrics and driving texture are not always expected. However, on the zero running T03, there are some surprises. The first is the endurance. In the 2400 mm wheelbase, the Zero run is crammed into a 37.1 kwh, with a larger capacity than the 33 kwh of the same model. Although the price of the car is not high, the increase in battery capacity means a significant increase in cost. But the benefit is that the T03 403 km NEDC has become the only vehicle in this level with a range of more than 400 km. Although most of the users who buy this kind of car have home charging conditions, but the endurance of this thing will never grow. In addition, 811 adopted by T03. The second is power. T03 is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The maximum output power of the motor is 55 kW, and the maximum torque is 155 n · m, which is far more than that of the same level of vehicle. In actual driving, the benefits brought by the larger motor are also very obvious, especially the acceleration of the middle and rear section, which makes the power more abundant. The third is the chassis. For a mini car, don't expect to have too much fun in handling. But what surprised me is that even though the speed of the car is relatively high, the performance of the chassis is very good. On the one hand, there is almost no loose feeling. On the other hand, all the vibrations are filtered very comfortably, and there is no extra 2 The tremor doesn't give you the feeling of being in a hurry. Of course, although the endurance, power and chassis performance of the Zero run T03 are amazing enough, there is still a sense of cheapness in terms of steering feel. Write in the end: there are more and more choices in the micro pure electric vehicle market. The Zero run T03 is a rookie, from configuration to endurance, from power to chassis texture. The rookie is sincere, so the remaining question is, will you deny a car because of a brand?
