What is a car? Many people will say that it is a partner, a big toy for men, but back to the original intention, it is a means of transportation for people to run in the city, maybe you do not need 3 seconds to break the performance beast, nor do you need a wide MPV, as long as a small A0-class pure electric car, it is not only economical but also can find a place to stay in the crowded parking lot.
In the domestic new energy market, it seems to be gradually showing a trend of sinking from the original high-end. Nowadays, A0-class cars have become the main battlefield for various car companies to occupy the market because of their more affordable price. From the wind and water Euler double cat, to the main technology of Nezha V, even zero run T03 also came to get a kick. The protagonist of this test drive is relatively low-key, but it is not inferior in experience, that is, the first pure electric car YOUNG Guangxiaoxin under the electric house.
First of all, it signed a manufacturing agreement with Sinotruk VGV in January 2021, and then officially released the electric house brand in August of the same year, and released the new car YOUNG Guangxiaoxin, in November and December to achieve model product market delivery and the sales network covered 95 cities, YOUNG Guangxiaoxin delivered thousands of new deliveries. According to the official introduction, in 2022, there will be three pure electric products (from A00-A level coverage), stores covering up to 200 cities, and even plans to export to overseas markets.
Manipulation is urban
YOUNG is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 35 kW and a maximum torque of 125 N·m. The official speed is 100 km. The battery type is a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 38.54kWh, which originates from Guoxuan Hi-Tech, which is also the same as the Volkswagen ID. series battery sold in China.
The dynamic feedback of this motor at low and medium speed is still very obvious, when the acceleration pedal is stepped on, this "little guy" will bring you a very brisk sense of acceleration, the entire acceleration process is the same as most pure electric models, in the initial stage of acceleration the vehicle will have a forward "channeling" feeling, but subject to the power of the motor, when the speed reaches 90km/ h after the speed will be slightly slower, YOUNG light small new as a small car for urban mobility, such a power output has been completely enough.
In terms of suspension, it is a combination of front McPherson independent suspension + rear drag-arm non-independent suspension. When passing some slightly uneven roads, YOUNG Guang Xiaoxin did not give me the experience of "boarding", and the bumpy feeling was not as obvious as I thought. For such a small car, Che Yunqi believes that not too many people will equate it with intense driving. But that doesn't mean that YOUNG Kwang-koshin has no sense of handling at all, because when you're cornering it doesn't give you a particularly pronounced sense of sideflus like some models in the same class, and it's a bit of nonsense to say that cornering confidence is full, but at least it won't make you panic.
Young Light Xiaoxin's first feeling in getting started is that the steering feel is very light, but it is certainly not the turn of the virtual feeling of the video game city racing game. Slightly less than that when the vehicle is driving below 60km/h, the NVH performance in the car is quite remarkable, in addition to hearing the sound of the motor, there will not be too much noise, but after the speed is higher than 60km/h, the wind noise near the A-pillar will be more obvious, but considering the new price and positioning of YOUNG light, such a performance is still acceptable.
Before the test drive, Che Yunxin's biggest question was whether YOUNG Guangxiaoxin could give a satisfactory answer in terms of economy. More than 30 kilometers of urban road conditions run down, its results are really good, 100 kilometers of electricity consumption in about 10kWh, at the current electricity price conversion, each kilometer costs about 5 cents. Two words, affordable!
The design is youthful
As can be seen from the naming method, it is an IP model jointly created with the well-known cartoon "Crayon Shin-chan".
The most intuitive feeling on the outside is that there are not too many fancy design elements, but the shape is very real, rounded body lines, with lenses of far and near light integrated headlights, on both sides of the front bumper using similar fog lights decoration, the overall display of AO-class car should be young style. The charging port is located under the front logo, and the standard fast charging port, in the fast charging mode, it takes only 36 minutes to charge the battery pack from 0% to 80%.
On the side of the body, the waist line appears on the front/rear door panels, the lower skirt is also designed with an upward curve, the suspension roof also brings a bit of movement and fashion, YOUNG light small new length, width and height size are 3740/1655/1550mm, wheelbase is 2415mm. The black wheels are also embellished with silver accents on the spokes, which visually resembles the cutting process.
In terms of the rear of the car, the overall look is a bit of a popular exploration of the tail. Using an angular strip taillight element, the black roof extends to the rear windshield, visually in one go, and is integrated with the outside of the taillights. In addition, the trunk volume is 230 liters, and when the rear seats are lowered, you can get a 540 liter oversized trunk and properly place 4 boarding cases.
Compared to the appearance, consumers will also care about the leanness of the interior, after all, most of the time is spent in the car. YOUNG light small new interior design is decent, belongs to the eye-catching type. The LCD dashboard and suspension central control screen that "should not have" appeared at this level really surprised Che Yunqi. In addition, at this price point, more leather materials are used internally, and the workmanship is still in line with the level of this price point.
Some of the designs in the car are actually aimed at the current fashion trends and young people's preferences, and also integrate some of the thinking of the electric house itself. For example, the minimalist design style in the car, YOUNG Light Xiaoxin also integrated part of the functional control into the central control screen of the car machine.
Intelligence is practical
There is growing evidence that the impact of vehicle intelligence on consumers' car purchase decisions is increasing. Of course, although intelligence is very important, but also can not be brainless to the car to pile configuration, after all, for such a mini car, practicality and cost performance is the most important. Do the most necessary functions well, give up the dispensable functions, and let users fully feel the value of the vehicle, which is more reasonable than making a large and improper, all-useless car. Let's talk about the new intelligence of YOUNG light small.
Don't look at the YOUNG light small new car is not big, nor is it expensive, but there are still many necessary intelligent functions, which are basically the practical functions that are closest to consumers. The DOS2.0 system embedded in the car machine has a flat and fresh interface. The entertainment center on the car integrates functions such as Cool Me Music, Himalaya and Radio, which can bind accounts, easily search songs through voice, and support certain intelligent queries.
For example, when you say "I want to listen to chrysanthemum stage", the system will automatically help you search for singer Jay Chou, with certain search ability.
YOUNG Guangxiaoxin is equipped with the commonly used Gaode map, which can quickly set navigation through voice, and even realize voice to add waypoints to avoid busy driving. If you want to eat, saying "What's good nearby" or "I'm hungry" navigation can also list nearby restaurants more accurately.
In general, the DOS2.0 intelligent cockpit system is simple to use, the speech recognition is accurate, the logic is clear, and it is very convenient and fast to use.
Che Yun summary
Under the wave of today's domestic new energy vehicle development, many new brands and models have emerged. Obviously, YOUNG's new main cost performance and pure electric mileage of up to 400km and the price of 64,800 yuan are its way out.
Whether it is an electric house brand or YOUNG Guangxiaoxin model, the popularity in the hearts of consumers is not high, and it is indeed the primary problem that needs to be solved at present. But since we have taken the first step of YOUNG Guangxiaoxin, we are definitely ready to go forward in the future, let's wait and see!
