At this year's Chengdu Auto Show, Weilai released its third car, EC6, which is similar in overall size to ES6 and can be understood as a coupe version of ES6. EC6 also started the sequence of Weilai brand in coupe SUV. Once the only pure electric coupe SUV in China was released, it attracted great attention from everyone. So what are the highlights of this coupe pure electric SUV? Is it worth starting with?
What does the slip-back version of ES6 look like?
At present, Weilai has only three models, but each one is a success. And you can tell by the name alone. Weilai EC6 and ES6 are inextricably linked, and this is indeed the case. You can simply regard the EC6 as the "sister model" of the ES6, which is a coupe modified ES6.
In fact, just looking at the front face, it is difficult to find the difference between Weilai EC6 and ES6. Both of them use Weilai's iconic X-Bar design language, split headlights, the upper part is divided into daytime running lights, and the high/low beam lights are placed below, so the recognition is still relatively strong. The front enclosing lines are complex, and the embellishment of black decorative strips highlights a certain sense of movement.
The rear of the car is the biggest highlight of the EC6, and the roof line on the side of the car body gradually drops from the B-pillar, forming the shape of the coupe, which is not bloated compared with other models. The design of the rear of the car is very harmonious, especially the design of the duckling tail, which brings a sense of hierarchy to the rear of the car. There will even be a situation where you will look back after locking the car. The shape design of the appearance also makes the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle get? 0.26Cd？ Good grades, ES6? What is the drag coefficient of? 0.28Cd .
In terms of body size, it is basically the same as Weilai ES6. The length, width and height of the sports version are 4850 *1965 *1731mm (performance version and signature version are 17 14mm respectively), and the wheelbase is 2900 mm ..
The interior basically continues the family design elements, full LCD instrument panel, vertical central control panel, and? NOMI？ Dude? 2.0? And so on are all familiar designs. However, the EC6 can enjoy the brand-new Himalayan brown interior color matching, and the ultra-fiber ceiling and advanced surround sound system become the standard of the whole system on the EC6, so the expensive 10,000 yuan is worth it.
Some people may worry that the interior space of the coupe SUV will shrink because of the back sliding shape of the roof, but in this regard, Weilai has also made improvements, changing the panoramic sunroof into the integrated dome-shaped glass roof of Weilai EC6, which has removed the sense of oppression of the overall space.
However, the space of the rear trunk is also relatively designed with a sliding back, with a basic capacity of 5 10L, which can be expanded to 1405L after the rear trunk is laid down, while the basic/expansion of ES6 is 584 l/ 1433 l, so the gap is obvious.
Is the handling of the coupe SUV satisfactory?
EC6？ At present, there are two versions, the sports version is equipped with front and rear permanent magnet synchronous motors, and the comprehensive power of the system is? 320kW, what is the comprehensive torque? 6 10Nm，0- 100km/h？ What is the acceleration time of? 5.4? second
The performance version and the signature version adopt the combination of the former permanent magnet synchronous motor and the latter AC asynchronous motor. What is the maximum power of the system? 400kW, what is the maximum torque? 725Nm，0- 100km/h？ What is the acceleration time of? 4.5? At the same time, this is also the fastest acceleration model in 100 kilometers among the current Weilai mass production models. 70kW and 100kW battery packs can reach the battery life of 430km and 605km, respectively, with satisfactory performance.
From the driving point of view, "Easy Car Exchange" thinks this car is used? ES6？ There is no obvious difference, or? NIO？ Inclined to the level of comfortable training. But at the same time, because of the existence of air suspension, the suspension height can be reduced in sports mode, and the support of suspension has also risen to a higher level, which is very helpful for the control of corners. The seemingly obese figure can actually give people a particularly light feeling when driving.
As for the steering feel, there will be different steering damping feedback in different driving modes, and the steering wheel is not obvious, which is quite rare for a positioning home SUV. Brembo？ OEM's four-piston calipers are not disappointing in braking, and there is a certain vacancy in the front section, which needs deep stepping? 1/3? Only in this way can we provide greater braking force. Can calmly deal with daily car following and emergency braking.
NOP navigation aid is smarter?
Since the end of 10, Weilai has pushed the latest version of NIO to users in batches through FOTA. OS？ 2.7.0 system. And NIO is optional? Users of the pilot full package will get the NOP function after this update. Specifically, NOP is navigation system, high-precision map and NIO? Deep integration of Pilot automatic assisted driving system. On the basis of cruise speed control, distance keeping, steering assist and turn signal control, it is realized by pilot function.
NOP supports automatic on-ramp and switching of main roads in most sections of expressways and urban expressways covered by high-precision maps according to navigation path planning. At the same time, it can automatically adjust the speed, intelligently change lanes and overtake the local train according to the information such as road speed limit and environmental perception, so as to realize automatic assisted driving according to the navigation route under the specified path.
Taking the test drive in Beijing as an example, NOP can support the use of high-speed sections other than the Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road. When NOP is driving on the loop and highway, the vehicle will intelligently adjust the current speed by integrating information such as road speed limit and environmental perception. If the current lane encounters a slow train at this time, NOP will automatically monitor the traffic flow of the two lanes, and automatically change lanes to overtake the preceding vehicle when it is safe. The whole operation process is not abrupt.
The front and rear millimeter wave radars can also identify pedestrians, bicycles and trucks. When the vehicle gets too close, it will automatically start a 360 panoramic image to show the surrounding situation.
NIO from Weilai this time? OS？ 2.7.0 system is a major upgrade. At present, Weilai EC6, ES6 and ES8 all support NOP function, which also makes driving smarter.
As the third product of Weilai, EC6 not only enriches Weilai's product line, but also provides more choices for more young and personalized users. In addition to the luxury, performance and smart labels on ES6, EC6 has many original designs and personality elements. No matter from the aspects of materials, driving, or the freshness brought by NOP pilot in intelligence, it can be called a good model. Wei Lai called it a beautiful, fun and easy-to-drive intelligent electric coupe SUV, which is also worthy of the name.
