AION LX Plus is a redesign of AION LX, but this time the new car "Plus" is not only a body size, but an overall level of improvement. The latest family design language makes its appearance more recognizable, and the application of sponge silicon anode chip battery technology has increased the energy density of the 144.4kWh battery pack and enabled the corresponding model NEDC to reach a range of 1008km. As for the performance version of the previously officially advertised model that can complete the 100 km acceleration in 2.9 seconds, although it was absent from the launch conference, the AION LX Plus 80D model equipped with dual motors also performed well, and the 100 km/h acceleration only took 3.9 seconds. Seeing this, I don't know if you are already attracted by these bright data in front of the screen? Let's analyze the configuration of the new car and the corresponding price to see which version of the AION LX Plus is most worth starting.
Note: This article will mainly analyze the configuration performance of the four models listed on the AION LX Plus for you, and make car purchase recommendations. My colleagues have already conducted a detailed static experience of AION LX Plus, if you are equally interested in the shape design, interior configuration, space performance and other aspects of AION LX Plus, you may wish to click on the image below to understand.
The AION LX Plus closed grille area has been enlarged, and the stretched front face vividly highlights the futuristic and technological sense of the new energy model. Not only that, after adopting a three-stage design, the visual aggressiveness and sense of movement of the new front bumper have been significantly improved, which is not worthy of the powerful performance of its dual motor version.
The coupe SUV is very good at the posture, and the slip-back shape, hidden door handle and low wind resistance wheel rim are all sharp tools to reduce wind resistance. As a model with the "Plus" suffix, its body length has increased by 49mm compared to the AION LX, while other dimensions remain unchanged.
The rear of the new car has not changed too much, and it still uses through-LED taillights. The details inside the lamp cavity are particularly exquisite, and the recognition after lighting is not low. In addition, the black encirclement under the rear of the car gives the AION LX Plus a touch of crossover. The silver chassis skid plate makes the car more tough.
Like many new energy models, the AION LX Plus adopts a simple and bright interior design style. However, the dual screen design on the AION LX has ceased to exist, replaced by two independent large screens. Among them, the full LCD instrument is 12.3 inches, and the central control screen is 15.6 inches, and both have a delicate display effect.
Summary: Overall, the exterior styling of the AION LX Plus is more recognizable than the old model, and the improvement of the technical atmosphere after the redesign of the interior is also more obvious. In addition, the upper body of the 144.4kWh battery pack of the Qianli version of the model has made its NEDC mileage reach 1008km, although it is not yet a "monthly charging era", but it can effectively alleviate the mileage anxiety of electric vehicle consumers.
AION LX PLUS basic information review
Let's get into the core link of this article: configuration difference analysis and model recommendation, in this part I will compare the configuration differences between different models in detail, and combine the battery pack capacity, mileage, vehicle performance and other related factors to analyze which is the most suitable to buy, and strive to help you buy the most suitable version in front of the screen.
AION LX Plus 80 Smart Edition is an entry-level model of the whole series, which is equipped with a 93.9kWh battery pack, and is driven by a single motor, and the NEDC pure electric cruising range is 650km. Although it is a start-up version, the configuration of the vehicle is very high. In terms of external configuration, the vehicle has LED far/low beam lights, LED daytime running lights, adaptive high and low beam lights, hidden electric door handles, keyless entry, roof luggage rack, 19-inch rims, remote start, battery preheating, electric luggage compartment and other configurations; internal configuration, leather multi-function steering wheel, 12.3-inch LCD instrument, 15.6-inch central control screen, front wireless charging, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, facial recognition, ALPINE Alpine audio system, seat heating/ Ventilation and so on. As for the driver assistance related configuration, full speed adaptive cruise, parallel assist, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist system, active braking and other functions are all equipped. In order to support assisted driving related functions, in terms of hardware, the vehicle is equipped with 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars and 5 cameras. In a word, even the lowest price in the car series, the AION Lx Plus 80 Zhizun Edition will definitely satisfy you with the configuration.
The AION LX Plus 80D ultimate edition is $43,000 more expensive than the entry-level model, but there aren't many differences in configuration. Except for the upgrade to a 20-inch rim and the addition of a co-pilot seat leg rest adjustment and a second row seat leg rest adjustment, the other configurations are almost the same. As for the extra 43,000 yuan, it is mainly because the model is equipped with dual motors, its total motor power is 360kW, the total torque of the motor is 700Nm, and the overall parameters are twice that of the entry-level model. If you're the kind of consumer who demands more performance and wants to experience the thrill of an adrenaline rush, this model will be more tailored to your needs. However, excellent performance is bound to sacrifice some endurance, and the NEDC pure electric mileage of this configuration model is 600km.
As we all know, lidar is an important component of the car to high-end intelligent driving. The 80D Max version of the AION LX Plus is equipped with three second-generation smart zoom lidar, four surround view cameras, six millimeter-wave radars, eight autopilot cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars for all-scenario NDA intelligent driving. The expensive hardware price directly made its price soar by 80,000 yuan, and if you are not fanatical about full-scenario NDA intelligent driving, then this configuration model is not recommended to buy.
By adding a budget of 50,000 yuan to the price of the 80D Max model, you can buy a 1000 km version of the NEDC model with a cruising range of 1008km. The model is equipped with a 144.4kWh battery pack and is driven by a single motor, and only the ultimate endurance is pursued. So we see that although this version is the highest price in the series, it has been seriously degraded in terms of assisted driving, with only a cruise control function. In addition, the intelligent hardware of the vehicle is only equipped with 4 cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars. The highest price, corresponding to the lowest configuration in the whole series, is somewhat incomprehensible.
Editor's comments: The reason why this article recommends the 80 Zhizun edition model, in addition to its high cost performance, there are also considerations at the car level. First of all, most consumers of new energy models will tend to the former between mileage and performance. Therefore, the 80 Zhizun version, which uses a single motor and has a NEDC pure electric mileage of 650km, is more popular than the dual-motor model. As for the Thousand Mile Edition of AION LX Plus, although it is equipped with a 144.4kWh battery pack, and through the sponge silicon anode chip battery technology, the battery pack volume is reduced by 20% and the weight is reduced by 14%, but the weight of the battery pack is still about 690kg. Excessive load is bound to have a certain impact on the driving texture of the vehicle, and the power consumption may also increase. In addition, at present, the new energy models in the northern region of China with about 50 degrees of electricity, the time of slow charging in winter is about 8-9 hours, and how long the 144.4 degrees of electricity of the Thousand Mile version of the model will be charged is still unknown, but presumably the time will be longer. Combining the above two points, it seems that the best choice is to buy the AION LX Plus 80 Zhizun edition model.
