Buying a car is a "painful and happy" process, "painful" is that it takes a lot of time to choose, test and bargain, for me who has a choice of "phobia", from Buick Encore to Ford Explorer, from Cadillac XT6 to Volkswagen Tuang, in the 300,000-level 6/7 seat medium and large SUV to find, miserable; "happy" is that I can finally change cars, from cars to SUVs, I believe it will bring me another new feeling. Of course, in addition to the above models, I have also considered pure electric vehicles, Volkswagen ID.6 X is also good, but I think it is too early to buy pure electric vehicles, after all, the current charging infrastructure construction is not perfect, there are difficult to charge, slow charging problems.
After exclusion, the goal was finally set as Volkswagen Tuang. Tuon has three versions, 330TSI, 380TSI and 530 V6, since it is a 300,000-class medium and large SUV, no four-wheel drive system can not be said, and 330TSI model does not provide four-wheel drive system, PASS; 530 V6 model sounds very "tall", But this 2.5T engine is not a real V6, but a VR6, Tuon's transverse front-drive platform simply can not accommodate a large V6 engine, can only be replaced by a VR6 engine that is about the same size as the L4 engine, and I do not like this engine, PASS. Therefore, I want to buy a 380TSI model, a 2.0T high-power engine + a full-time all-wheel drive system, which is still very good.
I told my friend what I thought, but he scoffed: Now that new energy vehicles are developing so fast, why buy fuel cars?
I said that there are few charging facilities and do not want to have the maximum range "anxiety disorder".
Friend: You can buy a new energy vehicle that does not rely on charging facilities.
Me: Is there one? Don't all electric cars have to be charged?
Friends: Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) and range extended range vehicles (REEVs) do not rely on charging facilities. The difference is that the ENGINE of the PHEV is directly responsible for driving the vehicle, while the range extender of the REEV does not directly drive the wheels, but is responsible for charging the battery. As a result, the driving experience of extended-range vehicles is closer to that of pure electric vehicles, such as tranquility and acceleration, which is much better than most PHEV models.
Me: What are the range extenders?
Friend: Ideal ONE.
I will listen to my friends' suggestions, but the key is to actually feel it myself. After a deep test drive, the dynamic performance of the ideal ONE can be said to be unexpected by me, the power output is much better than the Volkswagen Tuang, one foot on the throttle, no delay, the power will burst instantly, accompanied by a strong sense of push back, the ideal ONE can do 6.5 seconds to break the hundred. Needless to say that Tuon's 2.0T high-power model (8.4 seconds to break the hundred), even if it is a 2.5T model (7.2 seconds to break the hundred), the time to break the hundred can not collapse the ideal ONE. In my opinion, the power output of the ideal ONE's front and rear dual motors is not inferior to the international mainstream 3.0T V6 engine, and the power parameters of 333 horsepower/455 Nm coupled with the characteristics of the motor can burst peak torque together, and the speed can be increased very quickly.
Ideal ONE also has a function that surprises me very much, that is, it can be pure electric driving, I drive to work and commute in the city, you can drive in pure electric mode, recharge once a week, and the 188km pure electric mode mileage is also good. If you want to run high-speed, the ideal ONE is not instigated, pure electric vehicles running high-speed may be worried about not being able to grab the charging pile, and the ideal ONE does not rely on the charging pile at all, it increases the mileage of the same way as the fuel car, it is also refueling, full of oil and full power can last 1080km, after the mileage is insufficient, you can continue to refuel to increase the mileage, is this "unlimited endurance"?
I have only one principle for buying a car, that is, to buy a model with high sales, and high sales mean that there are many people who recognize it, and "going with the flow" is always the safest approach. On the Internet to check, the ideal ONE's November sales of 13438 units, is the highest sales volume in the domestic market of medium and large SUVs, not only in the new energy vehicle market, even if coupled with the fuel vehicle market, ideal ONE sales are still the highest one. Therefore, I followed the advice of my friends, gave up the volkswagen Tuang, and finally chose the ideal ONE. So, what do you think about Volkswagen Tuon and Ideal ONE?
