Two days ago, we recommended a compact pure electric car in the range of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, and a pure electric luxury car of more than 600,000 yuan. Today we recommend several mid-size pure electric SUV models in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 to see if these affordable models can match your car purchase needs and become the goal of this year.
■ Zero run C11
Price after comprehensive subsidy: 159,800-199,800
NEDC cruising range: 510km, 610km, 550km
If it is to choose a pure electric SUV within 200,000 "top stream", I believe that the vast majority of people will vote for the zero-run C11, because even if this model has been listed as early as December 2020 and will not be delivered until the end of 2021, it still cannot hide its advantages in space, configuration and intelligence.
First of all, the zero-run C11's body length, width and height are 4750/1905/1675mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2930mm, which is unique in the same price model. The tall and slender shape ratio coupled with the appearance full of scientific and technological sense makes this car have a very high value charm, especially the design of the front and rear light groups, which helps the zero-run C11 further enhance the fashion temperament.
In addition, the B-pillar and C-pillar of the zero-run C11 are blackened design, while the window frame is surrounded by chrome trim, which is combined with multi-strip wheel rims and scratch-resistant strips at the bottom of the doors to make the body more refined.
Entering the car, we saw that the interior design of the zero-run C11 looked more atmospheric and concise as a whole, but it was only because of the co-driver display and the large air conditioning outlet that the center console appeared very layered. From the actual experience, the interior workmanship of zero-run C11 is still relatively solid, the gap between the components is very small, and the material is also very thick, which shows the sincerity of zero-run as a new brand to treat consumers.
In terms of power, the zero-run C11 has two sets of power systems to choose from, of which the maximum output power of the rear-drive single motor is 200kW, the peak torque is 360Nm, and the acceleration of 100 km is 7.9s; the comprehensive maximum power of the four-wheel drive dual motor is 400kW, the comprehensive peak torque is 720Nm, and the acceleration of 100 km only needs 4.8s. In the battery part, the zero-run C11 is equipped with 78.5kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries and 90kWh ternary lithium batteries respectively, and in terms of endurance performance, the NEDC mileage of the three zero-run C11 models is 510km, 610km and 550km, respectively.
In the configuration part, the zero-run C11 once again showed realism and thickness, and the whole series was equipped with a rich hardware monitoring and recognition system such as 1 binocular camera, 1 face recognition camera, 4 surround view cameras, 4 blind zone cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and 5 millimeter wave sensors. In addition, all series have intelligent driving assistance or human-computer interaction functions such as ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, LDW lane departure warning, AEB automatic emergency braking, reversing image with dynamic auxiliary line, 360° panoramic image, face recognition exclusive ID account and adaptive configuration system, AND AI voice assistant.
In addition, in terms of comfort, the zero-run C11 series of main passenger seats are electrically adjustable, and have a front heating function, while the mobile phone wireless charging, front door sandwich silent glass, 2 12V power interfaces, 4 USB interfaces are also all versions of the configuration. In addition, the Zero Run C11 also has an optional package with an original price of 20,000 yuan and a current price of 15,000 yuan, which includes 12 configurations such as heating the two sides of the second row, ventilation of the front seats, and electric tailgates with position memory and anti-pinch function, which are also quite affordable. Because the configuration of the three versions of the zero-run C11 is basically no difference, but the power and endurance are different, and the price is within the budget range, so the whole series is more recommended.
■ Chery big ant
Price after comprehensive subsidy: 156,600-179,900
NEDC cruising range: 510 km
My second recommended model can be described as the "nemesis" of the zero-run C11, which is the Chery Big Ant, which is very close to the former in terms of size and price. If your need for a lot of intelligent configurations and features is not very strong, or the trust in the new brand is relatively low, then this mid-size SUV is a good choice.
The appearance part, Chery big ant looks more exaggerated than the zero-run C11, especially its segmented light group design, the upper and lower light groups are separated by a chrome trim section, of which the upper half of the ant-like "bubble eye" shape of the light group is the daytime running lights and turn signals, the internal light source is three horizontal light strips; and the lower half is the high and near light group. Such a characteristic light set with the lower expansion vent, as well as the hard-core lower bracket, let the big ant show a strong sense of strength.
On the side of the body, Chery Big Ant adopts a high-waist line design, which raises the visual center of gravity, while the front and rear wheels are more hardcore square arch design, which is more "off-road style" from the visual. These side details, combined with the extended design of the rear fenders, add to the car's visual mass. In terms of size, the body length and width of the big ant is 4630/1910/1655mm, and the wheelbase is 2830mm.
The interior part, thanks to the advantages of size, the 2022 big ant has a lot of "tomes" in the interior design of the car, such as four large air conditioning outlets in the center console, a wide double-door central armrest box and a "strong" three-frame multi-functional steering wheel. These details make the interior of this model look very atmospheric, coupled with the fine workmanship and assembly is very advanced, and the price of less than 200,000 has formed a strong gap, thus effectively improving the temperament and cost performance of the vehicle.
In the power part, Chery Big Ant adopts a rear-drive single motor layout, of which the "Tide Sharing Cabin" is equipped with a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 280Nm to drive the motor, while the "Driving Cabin" and "Zhixiang Cabin" are equipped with a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 295Nm to drive the motor, and the three models use a ternary lithium battery pack of 70.1kWh, and the comprehensive working range of NEDC is 510km.
The three versions of the 2022 Chery Big Ant vary greatly in configuration, and the whole series is equipped with a battery intelligent temperature control system, boneless wipers, electric adjustment of exterior mirrors, four-door power windows with one-key lifting and anti-pinch functions, one-key start, keyless entry, two USB interfaces in the front and rear rows, reversing image with dynamic auxiliary line, tire pressure monitoring, ISO FIX child seat interface, front preloaded seat belt, 12.3-inch central control color screen, Bluetooth/car phone, mobile phone remote control.
It should be noted that L2-level driver assistance functions such as mobile phone wireless charging, 360° panoramic image, front parking radar, fragrance system, automatic headlights, inductive electric tailgates, and L2-level driver assistance functions such as ACC adaptive cruise, FCW front collision warning, LCW lane change assist, AEB active braking, and LKA lane keeping are only available in the top of the "Smart Cabin" of 179,900 yuan.
■ BYD Song PLUS EV
Price after comprehensive subsidy: 174,800-191,800 yuan
NEDC comprehensive working condition pure electric driving range: 505km
The next recommended is BYD Song PLUS EV, according to statistics, Song New Energy's cumulative sales in 2021 exceeded 100,000 vehicles, becoming the best-selling SUV series under the brand, so if we find a medium-sized pure electric SUV with a "mass base" within 200,000, Song PLUS EV is a good choice.
In terms of appearance, Song PLUS EV adopts the "Dragon Face 3.0" design language, the headlamp group and the chrome trim strip are very recognizable, coupled with the rich layered extended design under the headlamp, making the front face look both dynamic and stylish.
The body of the Song PLUS EV adds layering through a three-dimensional through-waist line, the chrome bezel of the upper part of the window, the hidden design of the B/C pillar and the privacy glass of the rear add a sense of luxury, while the lower half of the bulging wheel eyebrows, five rims and the curved surface at the bottom of the door make the vehicle more muscular.
Compared to the front face, the tail of the Song PLUS EV has more edges and corners, the quadrilateral taillights, expandable vents and the small diffuser at the bottom are very stiff, while the metal trim between the taillights and the top tail wing give a stylish texture.
The interior design of the Song PLUS EV is more focused on simple and technological texture, such as the three-frame steering wheel, the rotatable suspension central control screen and the overall style of the center console. In addition, from our real picture, we can see that the interior workmanship of song PLUS EV is quite good, so even this simple black and white color matching has a good texture and atmosphere.
In terms of configuration, the basic configuration of Song PLUS EV is reservation charging system, mobile power station function, VTOL 220V power output, power battery heating system, touch-type wide-angle panoramic sunroof, 12.3-inch full LCD screen instrument, mobile phone NFC car key, cloud service APP intelligent remote control driving, 360 ° high-definition panoramic image system, holographic transparent image system, 6 probe front and rear parking radar, main and co-driver seat electric adjustment, rear seat angle adjustment, 12.8-inch 8-core adaptive rotary suspension Pad, DiLink intelligent network connection system, intelligent precision navigation, front and rear USB interface, intelligent voice control system and other configurations, as well as a number of passive safety functions from Bosch.
On the top model, we can also use mobile phone wireless charging, steering wheel vibration, main passenger seat heating, main passenger seat ventilation, intelligent electric tailgate, Dirac intelligent music cockpit and various L2 level driving assistance functions.
In the power part, both versions of the Song PLUS EV are equipped with ac permanent magnet synchronous motors with a maximum power of 135kW and a peak torque of 280Nm, matching a 71.7kWh blade battery, a NEDC working range of 505km, and a total of four driving modes of ECO/SPORT/Normal/snow.
■ Bang reviews
In this price point of mid-size pure electric SUV, there is actually a "treasure" model that is often forgotten. That is the price of 169,800 to 239,800 yuan WMA W6, but compared with the three models recommended today, it is not outstanding in terms of size, especially the wheelbase is only 2715mm, just past the minimum threshold of medium-sized SUVs, in addition, the price and configuration of the matching degree is also a bit inflated, coupled with the workmanship and durability of WM's models by many car owners, so compared with the same period of listing or "rising star" similar models, there is really no stronger competitiveness.
Although the three medium-sized pure electric SUVs recommended this time, zero-run C11, Chery Big Ant and BYD Song PLUS EV, are entry-level in price, they are quite sincere in configuration performance, coupled with the rare large space at the same price, which belongs to the relatively high-quality models in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. If you want to challenge yourself a little in the new year, you may wish to use them as the goal of 2022.
