As an electric vehicle user, I envy my friends who just got the new energy index this year. Why do you say that? Because the renewal speed of new energy vehicles is several times that of traditional fuel vehicles, it's absolutely true for pure electric vehicles to buy new ones instead of old ones. At the end of 2018, when I bought a car, there were only a few products of independent brands in the market. At the beginning of this year, several new energy models of joint venture brands were launched at the end of last year. What's more, their prices were not expensive, basically the same as those of independent brands of the same size. Including today's brand crossover car we test drive for you: Changxun. Next, I'll show you some of the problems that new energy users care about. There are a lot of pure electric vehicles in the price range of 150000-200000, including EU5, qinpro EV, aion s, geometry a and a large number of independent brand models, while the mainstream products of joint venture brands include Beijing Hyundai festa pure electric, micro blue and other models. The self owned brand products will naturally live up to the user's expectations in terms of configuration. However, from the real car feedback of Chevy cruiser, the configuration of this car can also satisfy all car owners. The Chevy cruiser offers three driving modes, eco, normal and sport, with a third gear energy recovery rating. I have experienced all three driving modes. Let's talk about sport mode first. In a word, Changxun's acceleration feeling in sport mode is described as: "when I step on the accelerator pedal for a while, I always step on it for a long time". The stronger acceleration feeling can last up to 100km / h, and then the acceleration momentum will decline, but the speed can still rise to 140km / h, which is really beyond my expectation. In normal mode, the power take-off will be more gentle, as if a young man has lost his temper, but if the pressure on the accelerator pedal test drive continues, he can still feel its "young" physical quality. However, the eco mode only slightly limits the power output at medium and low speed. There is no obvious difference between deep stepping and nomal mode, which is more suitable for Buddhist driving on urban roads. When it comes to energy recovery, the difference between the three levels of energy recovery is even more obvious than the actual difference between the three driving modes. Although the Chevrolet Cruise does not provide a "single pedal" mode, the level 3 energy recovery mode has basically achieved the effect of the "single pedal" mode in urban low-speed road conditions: in this mode, releasing the accelerator pedal can obviously feel the drag of the vehicle's deceleration, at this time, the brake light will also light up to prompt the rear vehicle. In addition to the use in congested road conditions, level 3 energy recovery mode is not recommended in other driving conditions, because a strong sense of drag will cause obvious longitudinal shaking of the vehicle body, which makes the passengers in the vehicle prone to carsickness. The level 2 energy recovery mode is more suitable for daily driving. I can feel the work of the kinetic energy recovery system, but it will not produce obvious deceleration, which is my favorite state. As for the level-1 energy recovery mode, although we know that there is also an energy recovery system involved, we can hardly feel its existence in actual driving. The driving experience is very similar to that of the fuel vehicle: when the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will slide by inertia, and the speed will gradually decrease. First of all, let's talk about the steering. Chevy cruiser is one of the few pure electric vehicles I've driven, which has a steady steering feel. It's obvious that it has been specially adjusted, and the steering wheel has a full grip, which is easy to stimulate driving desire. I think it's related to the positioning of Chevy brand to highlight the movement style. The directivity of the steering system is the same as that of the general household car. It has a certain vacancy but is not big. The first contact affinity is good. On the other hand, when driving on the urban ring ramp, there is no problem for Chevy to pass at a speed of 60km / h. It can be felt that the suspension travel is not long, and the shock absorber has a good ability to restrain rebound. This is also reflected in the feeling of braking. In case of emergency, deeply press the brake pedal, and the car body can maintain a relatively stable attitude. After a little forward and backward pitching and shaking, it will return to stability. It wasn't until I got into the Chevy cruiser and experienced the collision warning, parallel blind area monitoring, lane departure warning and automatic parking, that I understood why many car owners said "high configuration of Chevy cruiser". With the same price as the independent brand, it can also provide similar active security configuration, which virtually eliminates the choice anxiety of many users. At the same time, it can be seen that in order to control the cost and price, the manufacturer has made a choice on the active safety configuration of Changxun, for example, adaptive cruise and lane keeping, which need multiple millimeter wave radars to achieve, but the daily use scenario is not so full of functions, which are directly removed from the configuration table. Summarize some features of Chevy cruiser in use. The comfort configuration can be said to be standard. Single temperature air conditioning + air outlet of rear air conditioning, front seat heating and panoramic roof are the main highlights, which can meet the daily travel, but there is no surprise. In terms of space, the rear seating space is quite spacious, and the seat comfort is very good. As a hatchback model, the performance of the rear compartment is also worthy of affirmation. After our test in the real use scene, the Chevrolet cruise table shows that the range is almost the same as the actual mileage, which can provide real instructions for the driver. However, it should be noted that at present, the average temperature in Beijing is above 10 ℃ in the morning and evening, which is more friendly to group activity and does not need to turn on the air conditioner, all of which have an impact on the performance of endurance mileage. Another surprise is the charging speed. The electric pile shows that the vehicle demand current has reached more than 200A. If high power can be used, the charging time is expected to be greatly shortened. But unfortunately, most of the State Grid charging piles in Beijing can provide a maximum current of 120a. Let's look forward to updating and upgrading. What kind of performance and configuration can you buy for a pure electric car with a purchase budget of less than 150000-200000? Chevy cruise gives us a good example: first of all, we can be sure that the mainstream products of the joint venture brand can be bought now, and those friends who have doubts about their own brands are better off simply choosing the joint venture brand models; in addition, we find that in this price range, the products of the joint venture brand, no matter in driving experience or in riding experience, All of them show high quality; the only short board is that the nominal endurance mileage is slightly lower than that of the independent brand models, but I think that the more mature three electric system and higher endurance mileage authenticity are more valuable to users. So in the same price range, how to choose to believe that you already know. This year, there will be several joint venture brand new energy models coming on the market. We will also bring the evaluation report close to the user's concerns. Please continue to pay attention to the online car market.
