We always say that new energy vehicles will gradually become the mainstream models in the market, and the increasingly updated model products are enough to prove this. Not long ago, the Roewe i6 MAX EV added a "500-day curtain special edition" model, with a guidance price of 179,800 yuan, which became the "top match" of the whole series. In the pure electric car of the compact car, Eian AION S Plus has brought good sales and word of mouth with its own excellent product strength since last year's redesign, and some time ago it also launched its 2022 model, coincidentally, the price of its top model is exactly 179,800 yuan. So the same is 180,000 yuan of compact pure electric car, which of the two cars is more cost-effective? Let's make a brief comparison today.
Buy a tram and also want a "fuel car" design?
The exterior of the Roewe i6 MAX EV looks very designed, the inverted trapezoidal middle mesh occupies most of the area of the front face, and the interior also adopts a complex diamond-shaped staggered design, which looks quite imposing. The chrome trim above the grille continues to the interior of the headlights on both sides, and the "Y" shape of the daytime lamp is well recognizable. In addition, the bright color embellishment on the lower heat dissipation is also very conspicuous, adding a little fashionable atmosphere to the front face. On the side of the car, there are two lines on the car that are very obvious, one waist line runs from the front of the car to the rear, and the other gradually widens backwards on the door, adding some layering. In the rear part of the car, the most eye-catching is the design of the taillights, the recognition is very good, and the chrome trim on the rear of the car is the same as the one on the front face, which runs through the interior of the taillights, which is a front and rear echo.

If you can still see the shadow of the fuel vehicle in the Roewe i6 MAX EV, then look at the GAC AION S Plus, you can feel the characteristics of new energy vehicles more, and the overall shape has a strong sense of the future. The AION S Plus incorporates a large number of design elements of the ENO.146 concept car in appearance, with a large air intake placed in the lower part of the front face and an adaptive grille that can be saved by opening and closing itself. The shape of the headlight group on both sides is also relatively simple, which enhances the sense of high quality of the front face. The sense of line on the side of the body is obvious, which plays a lot of role in creating a sense of movement of the whole vehicle, and the door handle adopts the popular hidden design, which has a better visual effect and also reduces the wind resistance. In the rear part, the tail light is divided into two parts, the upper part is a through-type tail light strip, the lower tail light and the headlights, distributed on both sides of the tail, the shape is relatively slender, the rear part of the futuristic feeling is also very good.
After the markup and reduction, it is completely won by "their own people" and "opponents"
Entering the car, the Roewe i6 MAX EV mainly uses the main color of black, and the center console is a more symmetrical design, most of the areas are wrapped in leather, it seems that the texture of the car is very good, and the car is equipped with a 14.3-inch vertical central control screen, and the gearbox area is connected together, visually lengthening the size of the screen. In contrast, into the AION S Plus car, the most eye-catching is the large 14.6-inch screen on the center console, looking like a small TV, in addition to the color scheme in the car is also the use of light color system, it does not look as mature as the Roewe i6 MAX EV, but it may be more attractive for young people.
In addition, in terms of configuration, for the newly listed Roewe i6 MAX "2022 EV 500 Curtain Special Edition", the guidance price is 179,800 yuan, which is 27,000 yuan higher than the "2021 EV 500 Curtain Flagship Edition" with a lower configuration. In addition to the wheel size reduced to 15 inches, even the front side airbags, 360-degree panoramic images, cruise control, remote start function, front seat heating, automatic air conditioning, satellite navigation system, Internet of Vehicles, and OTA upgrades on the "flagship" car are not seen on the "Special Edition".
Compared with the same price AION S "2022 Plus 80 Intelligent Driving Edition", it is also a long way behind in terms of configuration in all aspects. In terms of safety configuration, the "80 intelligent driving version" has more functions such as lane departure early warning system, road traffic sign recognition, full-speed adaptive cruise; in terms of comfort configuration, the main passenger seat electric adjustment, front seat heating, automatic air conditioning and other configurations on the "80 intelligent driving version" are not seen in the "special edition"; in the scientific and technological configuration, the "80 intelligent driving version" has satellite navigation systems, road call rescue and facial recognition and other functions, which are much higher than the "special edition" in terms of intelligence.
It can be seen that whether it is the cheaper "flagship version" or the same price AION S Plus "80 intelligent driving version", compared with the Roewe i6 MAX EV "special edition", it can "completely win" the latter in the configuration, and this newly listed "special edition" model, the price seems to be called the "top match" of the whole series, but in the configuration, it has shrunk significantly, which can be said to be "price increase and reduction".
Want space to last? AION S Plus is more suitable
In terms of body size, the Roewe i6 MAX EV has a length, width and height of 4722/1835/1493mm and a wheelbase of 2715mm, and the AION S Plus has a length, width and height of 4810/1880/1515mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm, which is better in all aspects of body size. From the riding experience, thanks to the panoramic canopy, AION S Plus has a relatively generous head space in the front and rear rows, compared to the roewe i6 MAX EV's spatial performance is a decent level. In addition, in the trunk space, the rear seats of the Roewe i6 MAX EV only support overall reclining, while the AION S Plus can be proportionally reclined, and the space flexibility is higher.
In terms of power, the Roewe i6 MAX EV is equipped with a permanent magnet/synchronous motor with a maximum power of 135 kW, a maximum torque of 280 N·m, and a NEDC pure electric cruising range of 502 km. The AION S Plus "80 Intelligent Driving Version" is also a permanent magnet / synchronous motor, the maximum power is 165kW, the maximum torque is 350N·m, the NEDC pure electric mileage is 602km, and the power parameters and mileage are better than the former.
Write at the end
For the listing of this Roewe i6 MAX EV special edition, Roewe's operation seems to be a little confused, the price of this car is pulled to the top level of the whole series, but there is no improvement in space, power, etc., but it is also greatly reduced in configuration, compared to the same price model of AION S Plus, leaving aside the advantages of more futuristic shape, more space and more powerful power, just in terms of configuration, AION S Plus can achieve an "overwhelming victory". In this comparison, it is presumably necessary to say which car has more strength.
