In the past, there were more than 100,000 budgets in hand, and people would first choose fuel vehicles. However, many consumers now want to choose an electric car, but it is difficult to choose a suitable one in this range. A few days ago, Volkswagen Kanche test drove a pure electric sedan from Renault Jiangling, which may meet everyone's requirements for electric vehicles.
When it comes to the brand of Renault Jiangling, many people may feel strange, but the renault and Jiangling that are taken apart are not low in popularity. Jiangling Group is a Chinese automobile powerhouse with more than 70 years of experience in car manufacturing, and many commercial pickup trucks, light trucks and heavy trucks in China are from Jiangling Group. Renault Group, a French car company known for its transformation, focuses on innovation and often wins the title of European Car of the Year for many models.
As the first car launched after the Renault Jiangling joint venture, Yi was launched in China in September 2021, is the only joint venture pure electric car positioned in the 150,000 class, and is a new model of the same car, Limo, which is different from the new model limo launched by Renault Group's Mobilize at the Munich Motor Show in September.
The model we test drove this time is the Renault Jiangling Yi GT version, the guidance price after subsidy is 163,800 yuan, and it is also the only dual-motor four-wheel drive coupe in the same price. It should be known that the Tesla Model 3, which is also equipped with dual motor four-wheel drive, has a guidance price of 339,900 yuan, so it is very rare to buy dual motor four-wheel drive for 160,000 yuan.
Of course, as a girl with a little face control, when she sees the real car, compared with the cold feeling on the literal parameters and pictures, the first glance is attracted by the overall design of the car.
First of all, the closed front face design of this car makes people know the pure electric identity of Yi at a glance, with full personality and new sense. LED daytime running lights are innovative in shape, the official named it "Dark Arrow Energy Matrix LED Headlights", but it also looks like a pair of sharp "fangs", the whole car is like a perennial swimming in the deep sea ocean overlord great white shark, giving people the first glance is to feel aggressive, can not be underestimated.
Overall design, the overall body line of the side is smooth, a straight waist line extends from the fender to the rear taillights, coupled with the design of the hidden door handle, so that the body line is integrated, covered with a moonlight panoramic canopy, and there is a small yellow duck shape at the tail, giving people a refreshing cool feeling unique to the technological era, visually without a trace of complexity, it is easy to stand out from a group of dull and monotonous cars.
Literally, the length, width and height of this car are 4675/1835/1480mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm, which is the same compact sedan as this fuel car Corolla and Xuanyi that are also in this price range. Yi allows consumers who want to choose electric vehicles to seamlessly switch to the driving experience of electric vehicles while maximizing the use of space in A-class cars.
Actually sitting in the car, a one-meter-six girl sat in and found that the space in the car was quite generous, and the front and rear rows could sit comfortably. Even in the case of the front seat leaning back slightly, the rear seat can still have three to four fists of leg space, you can see that as a coupe, Yi put the driving experience in an important position.
Of course, the introduction of a car, the appearance of good looks and comfortable are secondary. As a coupe that entered the 100-meter "5-Second Club" and has Renault's excellent racing genes, the power and handling performance of the experience Yi is the most anticipated and exciting moment in the whole test drive.
It should be known that the dual-motor four-wheel drive version of Yi in terms of power can be switched to full-time four-wheel drive with one key, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 5.8 seconds, which can maximize the advantages of pure electric cars in acceleration and let drivers enjoy driving fun.
Among them, the dual-motor version we test-drove has a total power of 170 kW, a total torque of 395 N·m, and a NEDC cruising range of 450 km. The entry-level version of the single motor has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 225 N·m, and a NEDC cruising range of 500 km.
Since our test drive was scheduled at the end of December, when Sanya had not yet entered the New Year's Day tourist season, there were not many vehicles on the road, and from Sanya Li'an Haifeng Town to the highway section of Demarcation Island, we experienced the power and control of Yi.
The car has three modes: energy saving mode, basic mode and sport mode. When the sport mode of yi is started, that is, the invincible mode, the four words "invincible mode" will appear on the dashboard, and it seems to have its own BGM after opening, and the acceleration power is direct, and the whole vehicle seems to fly like an arrow. Under the illumination of a coconut grove sea breeze and sunshine, even as a girl who usually does not deliberately chase speed, in such a scene and a speeding car, you can obviously feel the pain of speed driving and the stimulation of adrenaline rushing.
Although the sun is shining outside and the outdoor temperature is on average 25 ° C, there is no odor inside the car. During the driving process, the quietness of the train is still maintained, and the music is played using Bluetooth, as if entering a music room. The interior color scheme with black as the main color makes people feel calm during the driving process, with many chrome elements and red delicate stitching and red dynamic seat belts interspersed with them, and there is no lack of pioneering sense of sports trends, creating a strong impact and vigorous vitality as a whole.
In terms of intelligent experience, this car has a full LCD instrument and a large size central control screen composed of an integrated through-screen and dual-auxiliary multi-functional steering wheel, especially an integrated through-double screen, which can be said to be very comfortable for young people who are accustomed to using screens to operate everything. Up to two levels of control menu, the operation is not complicated at all, as well as voice arousal, high recognition of the command, can help the driver reduce the manual operation when driving, you can see that this car in the user experience is spent on the mind, is a good supplement to the lack of intelligence of the same level of oil vehicles.
During our test drive of more than 100 kilometers throughout the day, it was also clear that the all-round assisted driving on the new car was really useful. Perhaps for many people who are accustomed to the traditional driving experience of cars, the sense of handling means familiarity and also means feelings. However, for the new generation of young people who have grown up in the operation of smart devices, the "low threshold and high enjoyment" represented behind the simplicity and effortlessness is not lowly attractive.
Kanche said:
After this test drive, it can be strongly felt that this car has not insulted the prestige of Renault Jiangling's first car. From power to design, it's remarkable. In the process of communicating with manufacturers, we also learned that this car that uses the Renault-Nissan Alliance new car evaluation system can be described as harsh in quality control. Taking the collision standard as an example, the "three five-stars" of the Chinese 2021 five-star standard, the five-star standard of the China Insurance Research Institute and the five-star standard of Europe are adopted.
For a car company whose two joint venture partners are based on safety as the lifeline of car manufacturing, good quality is the first place in car manufacturing, which is why the Limo of the same model can be listed in Europe at the same time. Unslackly aware of product safety and the high standards of lean automotive manufacturing, we look forward to seeing a warm response in the market that matches the high standards of Etech production.
