The last time I heard about Renault, it was when it withdrew from the Chinese market, but it still couldn't let go of the fat meat of Chinese consumers, so it cooperated with Jiangling Group to establish a joint venture brand Renault Jiangling, yes, it is back. The first model positioning A-class pure electric sedan, only 130,000, leaving tesla time is not much, the joint venture pure electric "new" player Yi's strength configuration, let's take a look at it.
Appearance section.
Renault Jiangling Joint Venture was established in 2019 to jointly establish a new energy brand JMEV, and Yi became its first mass-produced product.
The new car will be launched in Europe at the same time as Limo, a model of Renault's mobility brand Mobilize, and will be manufactured entirely from China.
Yi has launched a total of 6 models with a price range of 139,800-195,800 yuan, providing single and dual motor versions.
It is reported that the appearance is jointly completed by Renault and Jiangling designers, and the new car adopts a new platform development and is designed and manufactured by Jiangling New Energy Group.
The front face design is mainly white paint, no common chrome material is used, the overall design is more technological, and the split headlight shape is particularly eye-catching.
The new car is positioned as an A-class sedan, with a length, width and height of 4675/1835/1480mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm in terms of body size.
The tires feature a high-spec Michelin Primacy 4, 225/45R18 with a focus on sport handling and a slim, sporty tri-color alloy wheel spokes.
Interior part.
Yi's interior design pays attention to sporty attributes and a sense of technology, and there are many design details of French brands, but the operation logic is closer to the habits of Chinese consumers.
The two steering wheel designs are avant-garde and designed, and the dual screen design is in line with today's mainstream design trends, and the large categories are decorated with chrome, piano black and carbon fiber.
The complex interior materials are somewhat eye-catching, the overall interior lines and types are also more complex, and the current design mainstream prefers a concise design language.
The yacht-style gear lever has a french brand flavor, but the whole car is ergonomically logical, whether it is a multi-function steering wheel or various functional buttons.
The shape of the seat is still good, the padding is soft and comfortable, the seat cushion length is very good, the seat belt is in a red sporty style, and the main co-pilot is electrically adjusted.
The rear space is very powerful, the full flat floor legroom is particularly spacious, and the slope of the back of the row seat cushion is suitable, which is a good riding experience. The central control system is developed by Jiangling itself, the system UI is more special, the content is simple and simple, and the suspension ball design.
Power side.
The single-motor version has a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 225 N·m; the dual motor version has a maximum power of 170 kW and a peak torque of 395 N·m.
Yi's battery uses the same supplier as Mercedes-Benz, provided by Fu Neng Technology, and the long and short endurance are 60 degrees and 70 degrees, respectively. Equipped with a four-wheel drive version, it has the strongest acceleration performance with a dual-motor configuration, and the official zero hundred acceleration only takes 5.8 seconds.
In addition to the three normal mode transitions, the dual-motor version has a separate hyper mode button for maximum performance when activated.
Indeed, after activating the Super Mode, it seems to make people feel similar to the Tesla Rage Mode, and the continuous power feels like it is about to overflow.
The steering and kinetic energy recovery can be adjusted independently in three normal modes, and the kinetic energy recovery can be completely closed to meet the needs of different users.
The chassis adjustment of the whole car is also biased towards the sporty style, and the strong power can bring a very good handling experience.
The tuning of the throttle and brake pedal is closer to the feeling of the fuel car, and the strength of the kinetic energy recovery gear is relatively light, and it will not be uncomfortable to drive.
There is also a perfect L2 level configuration for driving assistance, and there will be advanced functions such as automatic lane change and high-speed following of the lower ramp in the future waiting for OTA upgrades.
In general, the return of Renault Jiangling Yi shows that the domestic new energy market is still very potential, and The quality and reputation of Renault are still quite OK, only 130,000 prices, the cost performance of Yi is still very high.
So, what do you think of the cost performance of Yi?
