Spending about 200,000 yuan to buy a mainstream size household SUV is an extremely common and huge consumer demand in the field of fuel vehicles.
But if the target object is replaced by a pure electric SUV, is this requirement still valid?
Presumably, the answer should be yes, no matter how the car is driven, it is always the most fundamental need to get a family to the destination safely and comfortably. However, at present, the joint venture fuel SUV sold at this price point is still very traditional in terms of business model, product concept, function combination, etc., and has not brought much change in terms of technology.
As a result, the pure electric model with intelligence as the selling point has the space to show its fists, and the WM W6 is aimed at this part of the market gap.
WM W6 has a total of NEDC endurance 520km and 620km two endurance versions including 5 models of the version, the price of 169,800 yuan - 259,800 yuan after subsidies, this test drive is NEDC 520km ACE smart version.
Convenience is the greatest purpose of intelligence
Some people say that the development of science and technology has made people more and more "lazy", but in other words, in order to make people's lives convenient, is not the biggest purpose of intelligence and technological development.
Where convenience is the embodiment of intelligence, it can be seen everywhere on the WM W6. As soon as you get on the car, you will find that the position of the A-pillar near the top of the air conditioner outlet on the left side is equipped with a DMS camera, which gives the W6 cockpit a series of functions including face recognition login, driving fatigue monitoring and so on. From the seat position to the system usage habits, it can be synchronized at an extremely fast speed.
When the vehicle is ready to start, you will find that the W6 is not equipped with a power button, enter the car and hang into the D gear to move forward, and after parking, hang into the P gear and get off the car to lock the door, basically you can use the gear shift as a key start function. After a few days of adaptation, you will find that this mode of operation is very convenient, with one less button and fewer steps to get on and off the car.
In addition, WM W6 is equipped with a new generation of intelligent digital cockpit, using Qualcomm's first vehicle-grade 7nm SA8155 chip, which is smaller, lower power consumption, greater bandwidth, and 8.5 times higher in computing power and 20 times higher in image processing capacity than the 8155 chip in the previous generation cockpit, which greatly shortens the information processing time.
Thanks to the significant improvement in computing power, WM W6 is also very playable, just like the "shortcut" function on the smartphone, just enter the W6 car can directly experience the official preset "take a nap", "parent-child space", "intelligent energy saving", "performance mode", "high-speed and worry-free" five scene modes, users can operate like building blocks, through the WM Zhixing APP can also be programmed independently.
On the WM W6, the body functions and intelligent functions are disassembled into hundreds of functional modules, and users can combine the desired functions at will according to their own needs, set trigger conditions, and package them into extremely convenient automation scenarios.
WM W6 is also equipped with a new upgrade of THE WIMI voice assistant, which is located in the lower right corner of the central control LCD screen, supports keyword wake-up, natural wake-up, shortcut command wake-up and other interactive modes, can complete more than 120 commonly used function voice control, and can clearly identify the driver's seat and the voice control of the passenger seat.
In the actual use of a week, "Serena" does make the car process become very convenient, air conditioning, volume, media, navigation and other functions I almost all use voice control to complete, response speed and recognition accuracy are very good, even when multiple passengers in the car talk, play media music and drive windows, can accurately identify voice commands.
Speaking of car control adjustment, in terms of air conditioning control, WM W6 has set up a screen i-Touch touch panel for it alone, creating a sense of technology that is naturally good, and the division of functional areas is also very reasonable, and the operation is simple after getting started, and it is easy to move up/down in any position, that is, to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner; to move left/right in any position, that is, to adjust the air conditioning air volume.
Zhixing assistance system makes driving convenient and safe
As a WM W6 known for its intelligence, it is naturally a strong point in terms of driving assistance system, WM Living Pilot Intelligent Mobility Assist System, which can realize the functions of full-speed navigation (0-130km/h) adaptive cruise with stop-and-go function, low-speed follow-up assistance, high-speed cruising lane central driving assistance and lane departure correction, etc. It is worth mentioning that the camera can recognize 4 split lanes and 16 objects (including motor vehicles, pedestrians, etc.).
In addition to the traditional adaptive cruise function, the ACC in the Living Pilot system can also add practical functions such as lever lane change, traffic congestion guidance, automatic navigation assisted driving, forward travel warning, rear travel warning, rear travel brake, and door collision warning in addition to broadening the speed range, so that the vehicle can become a safe and free travel space.
In practice, the Living Pilot system can be described as conscientious, whether it is normal acceleration or the deceleration action of the slow car in front of it is very smooth, soft, and the identification of lane lines is also very accurate.
No matter how smart it is, the driving experience cannot be ignored
In fact, in addition to the new generation of intelligent digital cockpit that can make it easier for you to use the car, there is also the Living Pilot intelligent mobility assistance system that makes driving more convenient, and the WM W6 is also remarkable in terms of driving experience.
As a pure electric vehicle, through different driving modes, as well as the differentiated experience of "throttle" response and steering force, it not only shows its own different personality, but also allows drivers to drive the vehicle more freely.
The hardest thing is that I actually saw the pedal force adjustment option on the WM W6, which shows its fine sculpting of the subtle driving texture.
And in the "kinetic energy recovery" function that many people do not like, the kinetic energy recovery of the W6 can be completely turned off, and there is no drag feeling at all after releasing the accelerator pedal. In fact, the drag of the strong and weak modes is not obvious, and the daily life will not disturb your driving rhythm.
In terms of power, the WM W6 series is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 160 kW and a maximum torque of 225 N·m, and the transmission system matches a single-stage gearbox with a fixed gear ratio.
After driving up, you will find that the WM W6 does not render too much sporty color, but the tough chassis can efficiently filter the impact of the road surface, and when driving over the road with a large drop, the sense of abandonment is still faintly visible, but the impact transmitted to the personnel in the car is not stiff.
Talking only about cost performance has become a thing of the past
Recall that two or three years ago, at the beginning of the rise of new car-making forces, the name of "intelligent electric vehicles" resounded throughout the automobile market. When the homogenization of automobiles becomes more and more obvious, intelligence has become a new breakthrough in the development of automobiles, and it is also a manifestation of the upgrading of consumer car demand in the new era.
Therefore, it is no longer enough to buy a car and only talk about cost performance, consumers want higher quality and intelligent functions that keep pace with the times, which is the opportunity of WM W6.
It is said that mainstream consumers are the most difficult to satisfy, because they always pursue more, hoping to exchange less price for higher value. And when the WM W6 opens a new window of equal dialogue with the same price point of fuel models in the same dimension, it is to use its own intelligent advantages to let the vast majority of home SUV consumers understand what a competent intelligent electric SUV should look like. 【iDailycar】
