Weilai EC6 can actually be understood as a cross-border version of Weilai ES6, with the same front face and similar body size. The only difference is its back. Weilai EC6 adopts the popular slip-back rear design. Although this design is used on the heavy and full Weilai EC6, it does not obviously improve the sense of movement, but it looks quite harmonious as a whole.
Entering the car of Weilai EC6 and looking at the almost identical interior design with Weilai ES8, there is actually nothing to say. However, this is not a bad thing. You should know that Weilai EC6 is cheaper than Weilai ES8100000, and the sense of interior grade has not decreased, and the materials used have not decreased, such as microfiber microfiber ceiling, weiyun? Thin cloud material, Napa leather, etc. They are all standard in the whole department.
As a medium-sized SUV with a length, width and height of 4850/1965/1731mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm, there is really no reason to spit out the rear space of Weilai EC6. Even if there is a slip-back rear row, it is still very spacious. Of course, its trunk space is smaller than Weilai ES6, but it can also meet the needs of daily use.
The huge panoramic canopy overhead looks really dreamy. It doesn't have a traditional sunshade. According to the official explanation, it can isolate more than 83% of heat and 99.9% of ultraviolet rays. In fact, it will get darker in the sun. For people who like sunshine, this is a wonderful design, but many women are particularly resistant to sunshine. Even if it really blocks heat and ultraviolet rays, they may not be able to accept such a design.
Weilai's iconic "Queen's Co-driver" can still be installed on Weilai EC6. However, even if these functions are not optional, every seat of Weilai EC6 is comfortable to sit on. Soft and supportive cushion, ergonomic comfortable sitting posture, really can't find anything wrong.
NIO？ The pilot is really fun.
For a pure electric vehicle with a combined maximum horsepower of 544 horsepower, its power is not boring at all, especially when overtaking, which is much easier than a fuel vehicle.
Although the power is very strong, it is still a comfortable model. In the process of changing lines back and forth, the suspension support is really a bit weak. Even with air suspension and CDC dynamic damping control system as standard, the range of body roll is still obvious. However, its seismic filtering effect is quite good, and it also has a unique floating feeling.
Its steering, braking and accelerator pedal are very light, even lighter than those Japanese cars that focus on home positioning, which really doesn't match its powerful performance. Of course, for an SUV of this size, I prefer to drive in a Buddhist way.
When it comes to comfort, we have to mention the sound insulation and noise reduction of Weilai EC6. As a pure electric vehicle, without engine noise, the biggest noise source is gone, so it is naturally quieter to run. The rest of the complex noises, such as motor howling, wind noise, road noise, tire noise, are handled well by Weilai EC6, which truly reflects the quietness that luxury cars should have when driving at high speed.
However, what attracts us most is not these driving experiences. We specially experienced its NIO in this test drive? Pilot assisted driving system, has been updated to the latest version of NIO? OS？ 2.7.0 system, this function can be upgraded through FOTA upgrade.
It adds a brand-new NOP function, combining navigation system, high-precision map with NIO? The three functions of driver-assisted driving system are integrated together. Vehicles can automatically adjust the speed according to the preset route and the actual road environment, and even turn on the turn signal actively, and automatically change the off-ramp under the lane under safe conditions.
Its opening mode is also very simple. As long as you press the start button on the steering wheel and adjust the distance between cars, it can automatically detect and intervene, even if it is used for the first time, it is easy to learn. In the actual use process, these functions can indeed be achieved, especially the action of automatically changing the expressway ramp under the lane. Although the whole process was cautious, there were no nerve-racking mistakes in our experience. Therefore, such a good system will really make you addicted.
Of course, this system is only an auxiliary function at present, which is far from the real automatic driving. Drivers still need to hold the steering wheel and monitor the vehicle at any time.
finally
Is it really worth spending more than 300 thousand or even more than 500 thousand to buy a Weilai? Only the owner of Weilai knows the answer to this question. And Weilai EC6 car, its biggest selling point is undoubtedly its NIO? Pilot-assisted driving system, after all, is an important function different from traditional cars.
Although it is very powerful, it is actually a secondary option in the eyes of car owners. Soft and light comfort and grade sense are the primary reasons that car owners like it.
