Compared with Ideal and Tucki, Weilai has the richest product line at present, with its ES8,? ES6 and EC6 are listed one after another. However, many people think that the homogenization of Weilai's models is very serious, especially when the ES6 went on the market in May last year, it was named "Little ES8". So, is ES6 really "little ES8"? Does ES6 also exist for systems with immature ES8? In view of the above problems, we also got ES6 in this issue. 6 10KM？ Signature version test drive, the official guide price is 526,000 yuan. Below, we will share with you the test drive experience of ES6 and the difference between ES6 and "Big Brother" ES8.
Rapid acceleration? Flexible and adjustable comfort
As the highlight of this test drive, we first arranged the power part in the open position. Before sharing the dynamic experience, let's take a look at the book data of this ES6. In terms of power, this ES6 is equipped with dual motors with front permanent magnet and rear AC. The total power of the motor is 400 kW (544 HP) and the total torque is 725 Nm. The maximum power of the front motor is 160 kW (2 18 HP), and the maximum power of the rear motor is 240 kW (326 HP). Battery capacity 100 kW/h, cruising range of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology 6 10 km. In the fast charging state, the charging time is 1 hour (0-80%), and the slow charging time is 14.5 hours. In terms of transmission, the matching is a single-speed gearbox.
With the support of front and rear double motors, the official acceleration of this ES6 can reach 4.7 seconds. In actual driving, its sense of acceleration really impressed me. This ES6*** provides four driving modes (power output, kinetic energy recovery and adjustable steering intensity): comfort, energy saving, sports and personalization.
Unlike a fuel truck that upshifts by increasing its speed, in sport mode, this ES6 pushes the whole truck out with one foot on the accelerator, without any delay in power, and then obviously feels a sense of pushing back. During the whole acceleration process, it does not feel the intervention and work of any mechanical structure. At this time, the previous impression of its huge body has long been forgotten. This feeling may be boring, but it is really powerful enough. After all, the 100-kilometer acceleration of 4.7 seconds has surpassed Mercedes-Benz EQC, Audi e-tron and other higher-priced models at the same level, even with Mercedes-Benz A35? Small steel cannons like AMG and Audi S3 have similar performance.
The kinetic energy recovery of ES6 can choose two gears, which are simply understood as strong/weak gears. However, in the weak gear state, you will still feel obvious resistance after releasing the "throttle", which may be unfriendly to friends who have just come into contact with pure electric vehicles, but after several adaptations, you will gradually find a smooth acceleration rhythm. However, if the kinetic energy recovery is adjusted to the strong gear state, the system intervention will be faster after releasing the "throttle". Even if you don't step on the brakes, the vehicle will obviously slow down and the mopping feeling will be more obvious.
Fortunately, the comfort of ES6 has maintained a good level, which is closely related to its air suspension. In actual driving, its air suspension will adjust the height and hardness of the chassis according to different driving modes and speeds. Especially in comfort mode, its suspension system filters the slight bumps on the road thoroughly, and the noise caused by bumps on the road can't be detected in the car. In the face of such a big obstacle in the acceleration belt, the suspension system as a whole can maintain a strong sense of weight, especially for the rear passengers.
In addition, Weilai officially launched the user's free power exchange policy, which is also applicable to this ES6. Users can find the charging map according to the Weilai mobile app, and then choose the nearest power station to make an appointment in advance. The whole power exchange process is 10? It can be completed in minutes, but it should be noted that the first owner of Weilai can only enjoy 6 free services per month.
Modeling science fiction, avant-garde? The interior design is very humanized.
In appearance, the front face of Weilai ES6 adopts X-Bar family design language, which is very similar to ES8 and looks quite sci-fi. The headlight group adopts split design, and the long and narrow far and near lights are distributed on the edge of the machine cover, and the interior is composed of two light bars, which has high recognition after lighting. Because the vehicle is a pure electric vehicle, because the front grille is cancelled, a 360-degree panoramic camera is placed in the middle position, which cooperates with the front radar in the middle position below the bumper to provide tangible help for the driver to use the car safely.
Weilai ES6 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV. Compared with the ES8, its body size is one size smaller, but the measurements of 4850/1965/1731mm and the wheelbase of 2900 mm do not suffer at all. In addition, in order to meet the different needs of consumers, Weilai ES6 provides a variety of choices, such as body color, rim style, key style and so on. Among them, the appearance color scheme provides 9 colors to choose from, but if you want to choose three colors: starry blue, nebula purple and Invivo blue, You need to increase the price 1 ten thousand yuan.
Rim styles can also be selected, and the dimensions can be 20 inches and 2 1 inch. Except for the 20-inch double-seven-spoke black alloy wheels, the other three cars have different price increases. We used 20-inch alloy wheels for test drive today, with double seven spokes, which is not included in the fare increase.
The overall side design of ES6 is tough, and the body contour is angular. The suspended roof looks very fashionable and avant-garde. Of course, this design style is more in line with the design idea of new energy vehicles and is conducive to creating a sense of the future different from traditional vehicles. The lower apron and wheel eyebrows are made of black plastic, which has a good protective effect on the lower edge of the car body, but the fly in the ointment is that this design slightly reduces the overall aesthetics of the car body.
The charging ports of the vehicle are located on the left and right fenders respectively, with the slow charging port on the left and the fast charging port on the right. When the vehicle needs to be charged, it can be electrically turned on by simply pressing the charging port for modification, which has a strong sense of ceremony.
The tail shape of the ES6 is also full of sci-fi sense, especially the taillight shape with very high recognition, which adopts the design of "black and red double spelling", so that people can see at a glance that this is a Weilai model. In addition, although the tail of the ES6 is very similar to that of the ES8, the details are different, such as the upward protrusions on both sides of the rear wall and the silver decorative strip in the middle of the rear wall, which can be recognized as an ES6 model at a glance.
The interior of ES6 also maintains the family-style design style, and reflects the elegance and atmosphere of the interior with simple design thinking. The whole cockpit adopts embracing design, all made of soft bag material. The entire central control was not decorated with decorative plates on other models, and all of them became air conditioning outlets. Different from SE8, the steering wheel of ES6 is changed from two-spoke design to three-spoke design, and the multi-function buttons are simplified accordingly, with moderate size and sufficient grip.
Not only that, Weilai's iconic gear lever design has also been used in the ES6. Not only does it look special, but it is also very simple to operate. Forward dialing is reverse gear, and backward dialing is forward gear. Press the side button lightly to operate the parking gear.
1 1.3 inch vertical central control panel is also very eye-catching. The narrow bezel design is not only very avant-garde, but also larger and clearer than the 10.4 inch central control panel on the ES8. Practicality, almost all the functions in the car are concentrated here, but some functions are generally convenient to operate and needed.
More than four steps can be realized.
Interestingly, this top model is equipped with NOMI? Mate human-computer interaction system is a small head with a screen above the center console. In actual use, can drivers communicate with NOMI? Mate communicates and interacts, and the expression in the display will change according to the needs of users. When the driver enters the car, NOMI? Mate will also automatically turn to the driver with a "smiling face" expression, which has a strong sense of ceremony. Sure, NOMI? Mate can also operate commands such as switching driving modes, opening and closing skylights, and playing songs to provide users with a more convenient driving experience.
In addition, this test drive car is also equipped with the queen's co-driver. As an optional configuration, this unforgettable passenger seat needs an extra 8500 yuan to get. Compared with ordinary seats, the Queen's co-pilot has added the functions of electric lumbar support, electric leg support and electric tripod, and the backrest can support the maximum adjustment of 160 degrees, providing good comfort for the co-pilot passengers.
As for the space, after practical experience, the second row space of the ES6 is average, which does not reflect its due level as a medium-sized SUV. Fortunately, the trunk space performed well, with a conventional volume of 584 liters. If the second emission is inverted, the trunk space can be expanded to 1433 liters, not to mention daily household use.
abstract
Due to the limited test drive, we finally failed to test the endurance performance of this ES6. But overall, as far as the product itself is concerned, this ES6 is more "mature" than the previous ES8. Of course, this is also an important manifestation of the positive development of Weilai brand as a new car company. However, judging from the current development trend of new energy vehicles, the pressure Weilai will face in the future is still clearly visible. With less and less subsidies for new energy, consumers will become more rational, so the cost performance will directly affect consumers' consumption concept. Coupled with the competition from peers such as Tucki, Ideality and Tesla, can Weilai's "high-end" image be maintained?
