The busy year of 2021 has ended, and the editors of EV Vision have experienced many new energy vehicles this year, which have both pure electric models and plug-in hybrid models. So which models impressed our editor teachers? Let's hear what they have to say.
People: Video choreographer Afon
Model: Song PLUS DM-i
Price after subsidy: 146,800-199,800 yuan
Model highlights: excellent power consumption and high economy
Pure electric endurance: 51km/110km (NEDC)
First I asked our video director A Feng, who is BYD's Song PLUS DM-i when he is most concerned about new energy models in 2021. For Ah Feng, who has just gotten married, there is a demand for a new house recently, so the economy of the car is very demanding. He said that most of the previous BYD plug-and-mix models paid more attention to power performance, and from the DM-i series models, fuel consumption performance has become the top priority, and the excellent power loss and fuel consumption of Song PLUS DM-i and other models are an important reason for his attention to this car.
Song PLUS DM-i is equipped with a special 1.5L engine for Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid, matching the EHS electric hybrid system, with a maximum engine power of 81kW and a peak torque of 135N·m. The combined maximum power of the system is 145 kW and the peak torque is 325 N·m. Our previous test of the Power Loss Fuel Consumption of the Song PLUS DM-i was 4.8L/100km. Afon also said that he will choose the version of the car with a pure electric 110km endurance, because after a full charge, a week's commuting is basically guaranteed, and the 110km version of the model also supports 18kW fast charging, and the power can be completed in half an hour from 30% to 80%.
In terms of appearance, Song PLUS DM-i adopts the BYD Dragon Face family design language, and the overall shape is still more in line with the aesthetics of most consumers.
The interior is more dynamic than the exterior. Equipped with a full LCD instrument panel and a 12.8-inch floating central control screen, it enhances the technical atmosphere of the cockpit.
In terms of space, as a compact SUV, the Song PLUS DM-i has a wheelbase of 2765mm, which can fully meet his daily needs, even if the newly married Afeng family adds people to import in the future.
As the owner of the old Toyota RAV4, A feng said that if Toyota is the king of playing fuel technology, then BYD is not only at the same level in playing "electricity", but even fuel vehicles have gradually caught up! And playing "oil" and "electricity" together is still so wonderful, now or in the future, it is also this BYD family! If I were to replace the RAV4, I would probably switch to the SONG PLUS DM-i.
People: Test Editor Sihan
Model: Mustang Mach-E GT
Price: 369,900 yuan
Highlights: The design is dynamic and sharp, zero hundred acceleration 3.65s
Pure electric endurance: 492km (CLTC)
Then I asked me about the big brother Sihan at the next station, he is the owner of a Dodge Challenger, and the requirements for the performance of the car are still relatively high. So the model he focused on was the GT version of Ford's Mustang Mach-E.
He excitedly told me that he had fallen in love with it when he went to the venue test drive of the Mustang Mach-E GT.
It is equipped with two permanent magnet synchronous motors to achieve four-wheel drive, the comprehensive maximum power of 359kW, the maximum torque of 860N·m, the official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.65s, is simply a beast-level performance.
The impact and even dizziness of stepping down the accelerator pedal is very direct. Putting the test drive of such a new model on the track is to tell everyone that although it is an electric horse, the name of Mustang is not a waste.
And the Mustang Mach-E GT has a fairly nimble rear, even with four-wheel drive, it can give you more oversteering fun. Arguably, the Mustang Mach-E GT's dynamic performance is more geared towards a high-horsepower rear-drive car, which is very much like my Dodge Challenger, very American.
You don't look at the Mustang Mach-E GT's performance is beast-class, but its chassis is not as hard as we think, it is a pure electric new energy model that can both sporty driving and take care of daily household use, and it provides enough suspension toughness at the same time, and even has a lot of comfort.
The new car's closed, large-mouth front grille and sharply stylized headlights make it look sporty. In order to reduce the wind resistance to improve the endurance, the new car adopts a certain aerodynamic design, and the headlights of the new car have also been changed to a certain extent, and no blackening treatment is adopted.
The body side adopts the design style of the coupe SUV, and the new car has a raised contour shape at the rear of the roof, and will use black paint to enhance the sense of movement and the three-dimensional sense of the new car. In terms of body size, the Mustang Mach-E GT model has a length, width and height of 4730mm/1886mm/1613mm, with a wheelbase of 2984mm, and the space inside the car is also good.
In the rear part of the car, the overall shape maintains the thickness and fullness that the SUV should have. The three-post taillights indicate the identity of its Mustang, and the tail tag differs from the regular Mustang models in that the running Mustang is no longer framed with a circular marker, but is directly embedded in the rear tail lid.
The interior part is somewhat modest compared to the exterior, the 10.2-inch full LCD instrument panel UI design is relatively flat, and the display interface will change with the switching of driving modes. The new car is also equipped with a 15.5-inch central control screen and a new generation of SYNC+2.0 intelligent vehicle connection system. It is worth noting that the domestic Mustang Mach-E supports FOTA firmware online upgrade.
The Mustang Mach-E GT gives Sihan the feeling of being a pure electric vehicle that combines practicality with a certain driving pleasure. Its performance is not inferior to racing, but unlike racing cars, it can allow more ordinary people to experience its driving pleasure, which is ford to create it.

Model: FAW-Volkswagen ID.6 CROZZ
Price after subsidy: 239,800-334,800 yuan
Highlights: Solid battery life, 6/7 seats of large space
Pure electric endurance: 439/516/565km (NEDC)
Then I went to Aqui's workstation, and he said that his most concerned new energy vehicle in 2021 is FAW-Volkswagen's ID.6 CROZZ, because his car scene is often to take his wife, children and parents out, so a 6-seat car with a large space is just needed.
Depending on the model, the ID.6 CROZZ is available in 2+2+2 or 2+3+2 seating layouts, Aqui said. For him, the 2+2+2 layout of the model is relatively easy to use, not only to meet the travel of the whole family, the riding space will not appear very cramped.
Battery life is also a major advantage of ID.6 CROZZ, taking the pro version of long battery life as an example, it is equipped with a set of ternary lithium battery packs with a capacity of 84.8kWh, with an energy density of 175wh/kg. NeDC has a cruising range of 565km. In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with an intelligent liquid cooling and low temperature heating management system, which uses the principle of heat pump to carry out the independent heating of the occupant compartment and the battery heating system in the car, which can effectively alleviate the problem of endurance shrinkage in winter or cold areas.
There is also the AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display carried by the new car is very interesting in his view, its biggest feature is that its display effect can be integrated with the front road vision, the driver can get driving information by looking straight ahead, and present the driving information and road condition navigation information in an intuitive way, so that the observation is more direct, does not affect the driving attention, and enhances driving safety.
In addition, the FAW-Volkswagen ID.6 CROZZ model has a highly recognizable appearance, which not only continues the aerodynamic design of the ID family, but also emphasizes the sense of power and stretches the lines. Its enclosed front face is combined with through-beam headlights to create a very atmospheric visual effect. The side of the body features a very sleek design, with concealed door handles, black underbody and shoulder line above the rear wheels, making the entire body look more slender. The rear of the car also adopts a through-line design, which achieves end-to-end echo while highlighting the sense of sport, while the black and gray color bumper below enhances the sporty atmosphere of the new car.
The interior part, ID.6 CROZZ adopts a standardized ID series design, the new steering wheel, small instrument panel, suspension central control screen are the same as ID.4 CROZZ, the most significant feature is simple, uncomplicated. In terms of materials and colors, ID.6 CROZZ should be more homely and high-end, especially the center console and seats use the same color leather as the paint, with diamond-shaped pattern metal trims, making the atmosphere in the entire carriage luxurious.
In short, the id.6 CROZZ's goodness has been deeply imprinted in his heart, looking at the market, at present, in the large-scale 6/7-seat SUV camp of this price point joint venture, this car has not many opponents. Therefore, this affordable and designed for the Chinese people to build a medium and large pure electric joint venture SUV, is indeed worth having.
People: Industry editor-in-chief Hongjie
Model: Wuling Hongguang MINIEV
Price after subsidy: 2.88-48,600 yuan
Highlights: small and cute, good parking, value for money
Pure electric endurance: 120/170km (NEDC)
On the edge of Aqui is the workstation of the big sister of the editorial department, Hongjie, who is most concerned about the car in her heart is saic GM-Wuling's Hongguang MINIEV, which is small and cute and cost-effective.
For Hongjie, the new energy vehicle she needs does not have to have a high configuration and strong performance, the appearance is good, the daily can be walked, for her to shield the wind and rain, Hongguang MINIEV can do it.
Hongguang MINIEV takes the small and exquisite route, the shape adopts the design method of cut edge geometry, the edges are clear but the affinity is lost, and many family design features can be seen. In the front part, the narrow stripe is a blackened grille, with the lower penetrating air intakes and the headlight groups on both sides, making the new car highly recognizable in the front part.
The interior is also simple and practical style, without the slightest superfluous configuration, it looks clean and neat. This style is also a major design highlight of the mini-cars on the market, and the exterior and interior are extremely simple.
It is worth mentioning that Hongguang MINIEV looks small, the internal space is not small at all, once 4 colleagues in the editorial department drove him to eat lunch together, of which there were two big men with a height of 180cm and a weight of more than 100kg on the car, and there was no sense of oppression in the car.
And after arriving at the place, because the body is small, there is a little gap enough for it to park in.
Red sister also said that you don't look at it cheap, the battery life can not be bad at all, especially the winter that electric vehicles are most afraid of is not "instigated". Just a few days ago, the China Academy of Automotive Engineering released the "China Small New Energy Vehicle Low Temperature Endurance White Paper", after comparative testing, Wuling Hongguang MINIEV low temperature mileage retention rate reached 67.5%, higher than the industry average of 59.95%.
Finally, Hongjie said with a heavy heart, in fact, Hongguang MINIEV is the most suitable for "young people" in the early stage of work. Imagine how happy it would be to have a car of your own at the beginning of your work. It's not just your "legs", it can also shield you from the wind and rain, and such a sense of happiness is not easily replaced by other things.

Model: NIO ET5
Manufacturer guidance price: 328,000-386,000 yuan
Highlights: By far the most people-friendly Weilai
Pure electric endurance: 550/700km (CLTC)
Finally, it is my turn to talk about the new energy vehicle I am most concerned about in 2021, which is the fifth model of NIO ET5 brought by NIO. This car is the lowest priced and positioned Weilai model ever. As a model that mainly focuses on the price range of 300,000 yuan, THEO ET5 is very likely to become the most popular model of the NIO brand.
Why? First of all, the design can attract a large number of young fans. Nio ET5 is a brand new model based on the NT2.0 platform, and the appearance shape draws on the design of the first car ET7, which is more coordinated in details, and is also more youthful and sporty.
The new car adopts the design of NIO's iconic X-Bar front face, the LED daytime running lights and headlights adopt a split design, adopt a closed air intake grille, and the front face design is sci-fi dynamic.
The side of the car adopts a sneaky body shape, the visual sense is larger than the Tesla Model 3, the length, width and height are 4790/1960/1499mm, and the wheelbase is 2888mm. In terms of color, nine body colors are available, of which clear space powder and cloud yellow are the exclusive colors of ET5, and the annual color Aerospace Blue will also be installed on ET5. The tail uses the design of the duckling tail, and the tail light adopts the popular through-channel design, which is more fashionable and dynamic with the spoiler at the bottom.
In terms of interior, NIO has been designing the cockpit space according to the concept of the second living room. The overall design is simple and full of personality, hidden air outlets, speakers make the overall sense of the interior stronger, and the interior uses new materials in many places to create a good sense of high-grade. In terms of configuration, ET5 uses Qualcomm's third-generation digital cockpit platform, equipped with 10.2-inch HDR digital instrument, 12.8-inch AMOLED central control screen, 5G mobile Internet, and ET5 is also equipped with 23 speakers, 7.1.4 immersive sound system; audio power reaches 1000W.
What I'm most looking forward to is the NIO PanoCinema, a digital cockpit equipped with AR/VR technology. NIO and innovative AR equipment company NREAL have jointly developed exclusive AR glasses that can project a visual distance of 6m, equivalent to a 201-inch large screen, and have also cooperated with NOLO to develop NIO VR Glasses, equipped with ultra-thin Pancake optical lenses, which can realize binocular 4K display.
At the same time, the ET5 is equipped with NIO's latest automatic driving assisted driving technology NAD (NIO Autonomous Driving), which is equipped with 19 assisted driving functions as standard, equipped with 33 high-performance perception hardware, including a long-distance high-precision lidar, 7 8-megapixel high-definition cameras, 4 3-megapixel high-sensitivity surround view cameras, 5 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic sensors, etc. Through THE Aquila supersensitive system and the supercomputing platform Adam, we will gradually realize high-speed, urban areas, parking, power exchange and other scenarios, and the whole process of safe and relaxing point-to-point automatic assisted driving experience.
In terms of power, WEILAI ET5 can definitely compete with the performance car, it adopts the form of dual motor four-wheel drive, of which the front axle is equipped with a 150kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, the rear axle uses a 210kW asynchronous induction motor, the system comprehensive power is 360kW, the peak torque is 700N·m, the zero to 100 km acceleration is 4.3s, the front and rear counterweight ratio of the vehicle reaches 50:50, and the five-link front and rear independent suspension is used, matching 8 driving modes.
In terms of battery life, it is equipped with a standard battery pack (75kWh) CLTC with a range of more than 550km, and a long-lasting battery pack (100kWh) with a range of more than 700km. It is said that in the future, ET5 will also have a model equipped with a long battery pack (150kWh) with a range of more than 1000km.
In my opinion, in the NIO product matrix, the NIO ET5 is the lowest price model, but its sense of luxury has not been reduced. And horizontally, in the 300,000 yuan market, ET5's product strength is still very capable, and it also gives friends who like the Weilai brand more room for choice.
Written at the end: This is the model that EV Vision Editorial Teachers are most concerned about in 2021. In fact, in addition to the above models, there are many excellent new energy models, and the emergence of these excellent models has also made consumers gradually accept and love new energy vehicles. We also hope that in 2022, manufacturers will bring more surprising models. If you have any attention and like new energy models in 2021, you can also leave us a message. Finally, I wish everyone a happy new year and pick up the car as soon as possible!
