Talking about New Energy | An Impressive New Energy Vehicle in 2021

At the beginning of the new year, it seems that all major brands have not returned to work, and there are almost no anecdotes in the new energy vehicle industry, and talking about stocks seems to be somewhat tricky. Therefore, we decided that the 9th issue will be the 1st issue of the Year of the Tiger # Talking about New Energy # live broadcast, and we will review the impressive new energy vehicles that @ Electric Taxi experienced in 2021. It doesn’t matter if we don’t catch up with our live broadcast. Today, we "replay" it for you in the form of an article, which may help you buy a car.
1.ID. family
Impressive reason: the products of old car companies have a strong "public taste".

The protagonist of our first issue # Taking Problems to Test Drive # is FAW-Volkswagen’s ID.4 CROZZ After nearly a week’s experience, we were deeply impressed by the design and calibration of this car.
I clearly remember that in the test drive video of ID.4 CROZZ at that time, we used the "reverse side of Tesla Model 3" to summarize the car as a whole. As a product of an old car company, the status of ID.4 CROZZ is completely different from that of any new energy brand that has emerged recently.

ID.4 CROZZ does not blindly emphasize the sense of science and technology in design, but compared with Volkswagen’s fuel model, it is still simple and much younger. The word "wisdom" surrounds everything from the exterior headlights to the ambient lights in the car. The breathing effect of the light belt can really feel the car talking to people in voice interaction. The application of AR-HUD makes the instrument panel smaller in size, but the gear lever with wonderful position is extremely simple to use. The selection of heat pump air conditioner adds reasons for northern users to choose it.

On the driving level, the models of the ID family are also full of "popular flavor". Here, by the way, we moved out another Volkswagen family model that we tested, ID.6 (both X and CROZZ have tested), because according to @ 京京京京京京京京 _, a 6/7-seat medium and large SUV like ID.6 is lighter to drive than ID.4. There is no doubt that the old-fashioned car companies have adjusted the chassis. The ID family car has made a balance between comfort and sports, which is similar to those well-known Volkswagen family cars, and the natural rear-drive layout of MEB platform also makes the front wheels of ID family cars more flexible.

The performance is even more interesting. Even if the powertrain with a similar value is put on the smallest model of the family ID.3, it still doesn’t give people the "sudden jump" that new energy vehicles should have, but it is close to the acceleration experience of fuel vehicles-even if the accelerator is stepped on the front, it will still accelerate step by step. This kind of calibration is actually more comfortable, especially at this stage of transition from fuel to new energy, which will not make consumers feel too much difference, except for obvious differences in hearing.
Finally, the spatial performance of ID.3 is also impressive, which is larger than any fuel vehicle of the same size, and only slightly worse than the SUV like ID.4 of the same family in the trunk.
2. Polar Star 2
Impressive reason: the sports attribute is full, and the luxury feeling goes deep into the bone marrow.

Polar Star 2 had a big official decline in 2021, and everyone thought it would become the rival of Model 3, but the sales volume was still unsatisfactory. After a test drive, we think the main reason why consumers don’t choose it is that they don’t know it …
First of all, the most impressive thing is still the driving level. The handling of Polar Star 2 does not lose Model 3 at all. The steering wheel is described as "where to play", and the compactness of the chassis is also in line with its luxurious positioning. When driving on the mountain road, Polar Star 2 will give people full confidence to attack the corner; And the advantages of cross-border posture in the field of vision make it an ideal urban transportation tool.

In terms of design, people are used to describing this strong Nordic minimalist style as "cold", but when you really use it, you will find that these visually cold designs are warm in use. Sitting in the car of Polar Star 2, although there are no grandiose leather and a lot of precious wood in sight, these environmental protection materials are not cheap at all with strong design skills. The metal nail decoration on the door panel, air conditioning knob, hollow gear lever, etc., are carefully designed in every detail, and even the warning sound of the turn signal has become an auditory enjoyment, not to mention the luminous polar star logo reflected on the glass canopy with full sense of ceremony.
3.
Impressive reason: the scientific and technological attributes are full, and the sense of luxury is slightly inferior to "true S-class".

Mercedes-Benz exerted a little too much force on EQS, which can be reflected in the design first. The 0.20Cd bow-shaped body with ultra-low drag coefficient makes EQS give other new energy vehicles a scare, but as an "S-class in the electric age", it seems that no brand has boldly taken the "5-door hatchback coupe" as its flagship model. By the way, the tailgate of EQS is the largest I have ever seen, and many adults will not even touch the close button after it is fully opened.

After arriving in the car, the oversized central control screen+passenger entertainment screen filled EQS’s sense of technology. The resolution and fluency of the two entertainment screens in the back row were as high as "no friends", and all the seats supported multi-mode seat massage. The LOGO of the Voice of Berlin can also be seen everywhere. All kinds of signs are telling us that this is a luxury flagship product. However, the rear seat space of EQS is not even comparable to the E-class fuel, which will undoubtedly reduce it a lot. Generally speaking, EQS is younger than S-class, and "masters" may not appreciate it, but "young masters" may have to struggle between EQS and Taycan.
4.mercedes-benz EQB
Impressive reason: except that the space is too small, it is basically an advantage.

Apart from the fact that the space is too small, it is basically an advantage. This is definitely not an excuse for EQB, because when most consumers in China buy a car, the space comes before other factors. As a 7-seat compact SUV based on GLB, after EQB adds a battery system to the chassis, the head space in the second row can be said to be very reluctant, and the third row can be imagined.

However, I believe that, just like the owners who buy GLB, what EQB owners need is not necessarily that married with children will go out with seven seats, but the luxury brought by Mercedes-Benz brand-the configuration of EQB can reach the top level of GLB. If compared with new energy products, EQB is also a product of an old car company. It does not lose any products of the same level in control, and it is even lighter than many 200,000-class compact fuel SUVs. If the terminal discount is touching enough, EQB should have good sales in the future.
5.krypton 001
Impressive reason: excellent chassis adjustment, intelligent but average experience.

Extreme krypton 001 always makes people feel that it is a product that has been born for a long time. In fact, it was all last year from naming to listing to delivery. This car was selected in #2022SCA Sina Car of the Year #, and we also took the opportunity to experience it. Before experiencing Krypton 001, this car was perfect in my mind, but I was a little disappointed after "running now", but it still did not prevent me from calling it a good car.
The main technical configuration of Krypton 001 is not cold to individuals. It takes a long time to wait for the optional variable light EC canopy and air suspension, and the air suspension is inevitably aging. Intelligent doors are not as smart as people’s brains, narrow spaces open slowly, and open spaces open instantly-imagine what happens when a bicycle or motorcycle comes quickly from behind?

The smoothness of the car machine is average in personal memory, of course, there is no right to speak without long-term use. Yamaha audio is not too amazing, but it is definitely up to the standard of luxury audio.
After a lot of talk, it’s either not good or just so-so, so why are you still willing to call it a good car? It is also brought by driving quality. The body of Krypton 001 is 2 meters wide (1999mm), but the steering is very sensitive and accurate, which makes its control very handy. The double wishbone front suspension makes it more sporty, and the CCD electromagnetic damping system can dynamically adjust the hardness when facing the road surface changes. During the site test drive, the speed of S winding the pile will not panic, and the elk test is absolutely 80km/h level. In addition, the space of this car can definitely meet the needs of most people, and it can also be defined as a "good car".
6.AITO asks the world M5
Impressive reason: continuous progress visible to the naked eye.

I believe that friends who pay attention to us are already very familiar with it. From the release of AITO brand, to the appearance of models, to the opening of pre-sale, and to the recent multi-round test drive, we have followed up and reported. As a model deeply empowered by Huawei, the highlights of AITO’s M5 are undoubtedly the "N-Axe", HarmonyOS HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit, HUAWEI SOUND, Drive ONE three-in-one motor, etc., but what impressed me about it is not these.

As I said just now, I watched this car "grow up", and I can obviously feel its progress bit by bit. Give some simple examples: the wireless charging function of mobile phone, the groove was originally very shallow, and the feedback from the experiencer was deepened; Because of the quality of the sound source, HUAWEI SOUND audio can’t exert its strength, so it cooperates with many apps in the later stage, and the other party can turn on the lossless high-quality sound source. In addition, the seat comfort and suspension support have also been obviously optimized.
The M5 has not been officially delivered. I believe that the final version will definitely be better than the current test drive, which is worth looking forward to.
7. Weilai ET5
Impressive reason: it meets the various requirements of young people at a relatively cheap price.

Weilai ET5 is a car that excites young people. For this reason, I paid a deposit of 2000 yuan (this is not an advertisement) on the day when the pre-sale was opened, but the deposit was refunded in seconds due to the license issue. Such a set of operations left a deep impression on me.

There are several reasons for impulsiveness. First of all, it has a high face value, which has passed down the family-style design, with an atmospheric appearance and simple interior-Weilai really has a "talent" for the creation of luxury. Secondly, it is a medium-sized car with the right size and standard, which will not feel big in private and selfish to parents. Finally, all kinds of configurations are full. The whole system has a dual-motor+four-wheel drive system, and the whole system comes standard with an intelligent driving assistance system. There are a variety of colors and styles from the outside to the inside. Of course, in the end, it falls on the price, and this car can also be affordable for many young people, especially after the BaaS battery rental scheme.
8. BYD dolphin
Impressive reason: outstanding design, walking artifact.

Unexpectedly, the harsh @ Cao Yukun _ gave a high evaluation of BYD Dolphin, a car that is mainly close to the people. First of all, the dynamic level, the whole car does not use the usual hard training at the same level, but becomes more comfortable, which will make the dolphins lose a lot of sports, but the advantage is that many consumers will feel suitable for walking, which is very flattering. And the dynamic performance, dolphins will not give people a sense of dizziness, only slightly inferior to the same level of cars.

In terms of design, compared with the Chinese style "Dragon Face", the design of dolphins is unique and has a completely different understanding from other models. The bright appearance lays a young tone, and the small designs of the air conditioning outlet, steering wheel and gear lever area in the interior also give this car more connotations, rather than simply stacking materials together. Such a smart interior, combined with a large screen carrying intelligence, completely conforms to the image of a walking artifact.
9.e-POWER
Impressive reason: the unique powertrain brings a wonderful car experience.

Besides pure electricity, plug-in, and extended range, can we buy new energy vehicles with other power forms? Yes, Nissan e-POWER is. The unique powertrain is impressive.
Nissan e-POWER is a sylphy in any case, but the difference is that the 1.2L three-cylinder engine it carries appears as a generator. Why not use the word "range extender"? Because it does not extend the range, there is no large battery to provide pure electric mode, only a small battery with less than 2 degrees is connected in series between the generator and the driving motor, which is more similar to a capacitor during driving. In a word, Nissan e-POWER is a new energy vehicle that can and can only burn oil.

Ever since, e-POWER’s car experience is very wonderful. From the interior point of view, e-POWER is a sylphy with extremely high configuration, and the selection of materials should slightly exceed the concept of "instead of walking". But what’s more important is the dynamic experience. Sylphy has always been favored by consumers for its low fuel consumption, but it is inevitable that it will be criticized for its weak power. e-POWER is completely different. At the same time of ultra-low fuel consumption, it also has the acceleration ability of trams, making up a big short board. Regardless of the reliability of the power system (it takes time to test), the "performance version of Sylphy" like e-POWER really smells good.


Unfortunately, due to the length of live broadcast, many models that impressed us in 2021 were not mentioned, such as BMW iX, Lantu FREE, Lantu Dreamer, Salon Jialong and other models seen at the auto show. Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to chat with you about new energy vehicles in the future. If you want to listen to suggestions on buying a car or want to talk about it, please continue to pay attention to our # Talking about New Energy #.
