With the end of the Spring Festival holiday in 2022, we have really started the journey of the new year, but before "departure", we always have to set a goal for ourselves, I think it is a good choice to buy a car for ourselves through a year's efforts. Let me recommend a few compact pure electric cars of about 100,000 to 150,000, which is to provide you with some alternative "small goals" with moderate difficulty.
■ Spacious atmosphere: GAC Aion S Plus
Among the compact pure electric cars, GAC Aion's AION S Plus is relatively large, with a length, width and height of 4810/1880/1515/2750mm, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. So if you plan to buy a model that looks atmospheric and has a relatively spacious car, we recommend AION S Plus, but the current price of this model is 153,800 to 179,800 yuan, if we only have a budget of about 150,000, we can only choose its entry-level "70 Smart Collar Edition".
In terms of appearance, AION S Plus adopts the new design language of GAC AE Safety, highly restores the ENO.146 concept car, the overall shape is more sporty and sci-fi texture, coupled with the low wind resistance body ratio of only 0.211Cd, so that this compact sedan has a cross-level visual effect, whether it is home or commercial, it is very atmospheric, and can fully meet the needs of people in different car scenes.
Inside the car, we can feel that the interior design of AION S Plus not only continues the atmosphere of the exterior, but also creates a high-end and high-grade interior atmosphere through simple layout and exquisite detailing. In addition, although the new AION S Plus does not use the instrument + center control of the joint screen design, but the 14.6-inch floating central control screen and knob shift mechanism still have a good scientific and technological texture.
In terms of configuration, the budget-eligible "70 Smart Collar Edition" AION S Plus is equipped with LED headlights with automatic induction on and delay off functions, electric hidden door handles, 1.9㎡ panoramic glass canopy, exterior mirrors that can be electrically folded/adjusted/heated, rear fog lights with LED light sources and high brake lights.
At the same time, the car is equipped with a 6-way electric adjustable main seat, a sound system with Tony Bongiovi master brand sound, front and rear USB ports, wireless charging of mobile phones, dual-zone automatic air conditioning and a rich active and passive safety system. In addition, in terms of driving assistance, this model only has functions such as 360 ° high-definition panoramic image and cruise control, although it is relatively basic, but the actual experience is still relatively friendly.
In the power part, the "70 Smart Collar Edition" AION S Plus is equipped with a front-drive single motor with a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 350Nm, an acceleration time of 7.6s from 0 to 100km/h, matching a 58.8kWh battery pack, a NEDC cruising range of 510km, and it takes about 40 minutes for DC fast charging to charge the power from 30% to 80%.
■ Reliable endurance: Geometry A Pro
For pure electric models, true endurance is crucial, and its height determines your range of activities. In the compact pure electric sedan market, the new geometry A Pro is such a model with a very solid battery life. If you bought a car for "poetry and distance", then this car may be a good choice.
Since it is a model recommended for endurance advantage, let's first look at its power performance. The new geometry A Pro is equipped with a three-in-one electric drive system, the maximum output power of a single motor is 150kW, the peak torque is 310Nm, the speed increase time of 0-100km/h is 6.9s, and it matches the nickel 55 new NCM523 battery of 53kWh or 70kWh, the cruising range under NEDC conditions is 460km and 600km, and many media including us, after actual testing, will find that the battery life of the new Geometry A Pro can be 75% Between 90% and 90%, it is already very powerful in the market.
In addition to the powertrain, this real endurance performance also makes an important contribution to the body with a drag coefficient of only 0.237Cd, while making the appearance of the new geometry A Pro look similar to that of AION S Plus, and the visual effect is more slender and sci-fi. The body double color scheme, narrow polygon headlights and multi-layered trim similar to the fish gills on the front face all make the geometry A Pro a little more refined and stylish.
The interior atmosphere of the geometric A Pro I think is stronger than the AION S Plus's technical texture, especially the suspension dashboard, the central control screen, and the design of the knob in the center of the armrest area and the control panel above it, which makes the person sitting in the main driver have a sense of driving the spaceship.
In terms of configuration, if you consider the budget of 150,000 yuan, we would recommend the "A600 Cubic Version" of 148,700 yuan, which is equipped with LED daytime running lights and streamer turn signals on the outside, headlights with automatic induction control function, IMAX curved panoramic canopy with electric sun blinds, and exterior mirrors that can be electrically adjusted/heated/defrosted/automatically folded.
At the same time, the main driver seat in the car can be adjusted in 6 directions, the main passenger seat has a heating function, and the front row is equipped with a 12.3-inch touch screen, which can carry out voice interaction / car interconnection / install the GKUI Jike intelligent ecosystem of car applications, HUD projection digital flat display system.
In addition, the new Geometric A Pro "A600 Cubic Edition" also has driving assistance and active and passive safety functions such as cruise control, 540 ° AR chassis perspective, reversing image with auxiliary line, steep slope slow descent, front double airbags, side airbags, etc., but this version of the model is not equipped with L2 level driving assistance.
■ Maverick: Renault Jiangling Yi
In the compact pure electric car market, there is a model that not only has a very personal appearance, a very high degree of recognition, the name is also concise and clear, quite ancient, it is the first pure electric car from Renault Jiangling: Yi. If you want to go for mavericks and be different, you may want to focus on this car.
In terms of appearance, Yi adopts the design language of "E.C.H.O Pioneer Design Philosophy". In the front part of the face, yi's most distinctive personality design is the sharp line with the "7" shaped daytime running lights and the array headlight group, coupled with the movement at the bottom, making this car look very sharp, with an aura beyond the size level.
The body part, Yi did not have too much design, the most significant is the segmented waist line, one of which is the curved waist line from the rear door handle to the taillights, coupled with the three-dimensional curved design under the door, so that the body still has some layering. In addition, the new car features a concealed B/C pillar design, exterior mirrors and silver chrome trim at the bottom of the side skirt, which add to the stylish texture of the vehicle, while the five-flap spiral rim and red calipers add to the sporty atmosphere. The length, width and height of the Yi are 4675/1835/1480mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm.
The rear design of the Yi is also much simpler, presenting a stable aura. Although the upper part of the rear has a smooth slipback design, the trunk is the way the conventional sedan opens. In the taillights, the new car adopts the "Y" shape, which not only visually stretches the body, but also makes the "Yi" more sharp.
In terms of interior, the new car is based on pure black, the front row adopts a wrap-around layout, and there are many just right chrome decorations, which is neat and atmospheric overall. On the front center console, the new car is equipped with a floating joint screen design of digital LCD instrument + central control display, with a double-spoke multi-function flat-bottom steering wheel, which combines a sense of technology and a sense of movement.
In terms of power performance, the current Yi is roughly divided into two series, one is a single motor version with heavy endurance, the maximum output power is 110kW, the peak torque is 225Nm, and the ternary lithium battery with two capacities of 47kWh and 60kWh is matched, with a maximum cruising range of 400km and 500km; there is also a dual motor version with biased performance, the maximum power is 170kW, the peak torque is 395Nm, 0-100km/ H Acceleration time is only 5.8s, matching 60kWh ternary lithium battery, the maximum cruising range is 450km.
As for which car to choose, if according to the conditions set this time, we recommend the 2022 long-endurance elite version priced at 147,800 yuan, but the model belongs to the more beginner version in the whole series, and the highlight configuration is only the "mouth" word ring battery pack protection structure, line control dynamic system (WCBS), drive anti-slip system (ASR), iFlYTEK entertainment ecosystem, iFlYTEK semantic control system, high-efficiency heat pump automatic air conditioning, energy-saving waste heat automatic air conditioning, etc. If you need more advanced driving assistance or intelligent entertainment interaction functions, at least you have to choose the "2022 long-lasting intelligent version" that is expensive for 9,000 yuan, but its price has exceeded the budget of 150,000 yuan.
■ Exquisite and compact: BYD e2
The previous recommended three compact pure electric cars with a large size or strong endurance, but their prices are a bit high, and the budget of 150,000 can only buy an entry-level or mid-range model. Next, we will give you a change of taste, recommend a more affordable, more compact model BYD e2, if you just want to buy a daily transportation of pure electric car, or only about 120,000 budget, then you can pay attention to it.
In terms of appearance, the BYD e2 uses a lot of family design language, especially the front quad headlight set and the chrome trim that runs through. However, this model is different from the fusiform closed shape adopted by BYD's other series, still retaining the hexagonal closed mid-mesh, coupled with the expanded deflector under the headlights, making this car look sharper and more dynamic.
In the body part, BYD e2 has a two-stage waistline design, which increases the sense of layering and also has a certain dynamic effect. The slightly raised front wheel arch and the body double color scheme are more to increase the sophistication of the body. In terms of size, the length, width and height of this model are 4240/1760/1530mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm.
The rear part of the BYD e2 is more layered, the upper part is the rear windshield of the rear wing and the blackened border, the middle is a pair of polygonal taillights and the middle of the decorative light strip, and the lower part is a pair of vents combined with the rear fog lights, and the center is equipped with a rear surround similar to a diffuser. These designs make the rear of this car the most sporty place, and the appearance and temperament are very good.
In terms of interior design, the overall style of BYD e2 is still relatively "straight", and a large number of regular shapes such as positive quadrilaterals and positive trapezoids are used, which look simple and powerful, and at the same time are very open. The chrome bezel that runs through the trims, air-conditioned air-conditioned air outlets and steering wheel, as well as the two-tone interior, add style and vitality to the trolley.
In the power part, the BYD e2 series is equipped with an AC permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 70kW and a peak torque of 180Nm, and the battery has two capacity specifications of 33.2kWh and 43.2kWh, and the maximum endurance is 301km and 401km, but the power of the whole series of models from 30% to 80% is only 30 minutes.
Because the price of all BYD e2 series is relatively low, we "willfully" recommend its top matching "premium type" with a price of 115,800 yuan. Its highlights are the panoramic canopy, Sport+ sports kit, two-color body, roof rack, mobile phone remote driving, driving recorder, premium leather seat, 6-way adjustment of the main driver's seat, front seat heating, DiLink 10.1-inch adaptive rotating suspension Pad, intelligent voice interaction system and mobile power station VTOL and other functions.
■ Safe choice: BYD Qin PLUS EV
If you look at the above four unique models and still can't make up your mind, then we recommend buying the best-selling models on the market directly.
Judging from the data of last year's passenger association, the new energy models of the BYD Qin series have the highest sales volume in the compact sedan segment, of which the EV and DM-i of Qin PLUS are newly launched models in 2021, which is the "fresh force" that promotes the rapid growth of sales, so if we choose a pure electric model in the BYD Qin series to recommend to everyone, it will definitely be the 2021 Qin PLUS EV.
Appearance part, 2021 Qin PLUS EV as the latest version of BYD new energy models, naturally adopts a new "Dragon Face 3.0" design language, whether it is similar to the arrow feather shape of the headlights, or closed front face, are similar to the flagship model Han's shape, help Qin PLUS EV significantly enhance the aura, there is a kind of leapfrog sharpness.
On the side of the body, the design of the Qin PLUS EV is biased towards the home style, and the overall bias towards rounded and smooth lines, as well as the chrome trim strips of hidden B/C columns and window frames, all show a stylish and exquisite effect. In addition, the small waistline extending from the rear door handle to the rear and the curved design under the door add layering to the body, while also carrying a little movement.
In the design of the rear of the car, the Qin PLUS EV gives me the feeling of being full of mecha wind, especially with the white car paint in the picture below, much like the helmet of the Imperial soldier in Star Wars, with a strong sci-fi texture.
In terms of interior design, the Qin PLUS EV is equipped with BYD's unique 8-core adaptive rotation suspension Pad, the dashboard is integrated with the huge symmetrical trim of the center console, and the oval gear lever in the central handrail area of the front row and the physical buttons around it are also very technological, these details make the car look sci-fi enough.
In the power part, Qin PLUS EV has two sets of power configurations, one set is equipped with a single motor with a maximum power of 100kW and a peak torque of 180Nm, matching 47.5kWh and 57.0kWh battery packs, with a cruising range of 400km and 500km; the other is equipped with a single motor with a maximum power of 135kW and a peak torque of 280Nm, matching a 71.7kWh battery, and the working mileage is 600km.
For specific purchase suggestions, the best within the budget of 150,000 is the "500KM luxury type", the price after subsidy is 142,800 yuan, it is equipped with a complete set of Bosch passive safety system, constant speed cruise, reversing image system, 4 probe rear parking radar, exterior mirror electric heating defrosting / folding / adjustment, intelligent voice interaction system, main seat 6-way electric adjustment, front and rear USB charging interface, car 12V power supply, reservation charging system and battery intelligent temperature control management system, etc. Overall, it is still relatively realistic.
However, it should be noted that the size of the central control screen of this version is only 10.1 inches, and such as ACC adaptive cruise, active lane keeping system, lane departure warning system, blind spot monitoring system and various collision warning systems are not equipped. Therefore, if you want to use these functions and a 12.8-inch central control display, you must at least choose the "500KM Premium" or more expensive version that is priced at 152,800 yuan after subsidies.
■ Bang reviews
The above is the five high-quality compact pure electric cars we recommend for everyone, we can see that they are all unique, such as the AION S Plus in the main space, the geometric A Pro with a solid battery life, the Renault Jiangling Yi that can highlight the personality, the exquisite and compact BYD e2, and of course, the BYD Qin PLUS EV that can not be wrong.
Although the difficult 2021 has passed, but in 2022 we still have to face the "new crown epidemic" and other obstacles of the test, I hope that these quality models can become a driving force for everyone to work hard, study, and make their lives a higher level in the new year.
