Since half a year ago chery ant, my daily travel is indeed a lot more convenient, after all, there is a car around, encounter wind and rain do not have to worry about not bringing an umbrella, do not have to worry about getting up late in the morning to miss the fixed bus. Then the price of Chery small ants is not very high, and the whole car landing is almost 80,000, which feels quite cost-effective. However, a few days ago I had an old watch who said he wanted to experience my little ant and asked me to drive his Baojun KiWi for a few days. It was this car change that I found the gap.
(Chery Ant)
The price of Baojun KiWi EV is similar to that of Chery Ant, and my old watch was also more than 80,000 at the time, and like small ants, it is a small-size electric vehicle that is biased towards commuting. However, when I actually saw the Baojun KiWi EV, I found that this car is a little special in design, it is more avant-garde and sci-fi, the streamlined sense of the body is quite strong, and there are hidden door handles, when parked on the road, some people will look back at the KiWi EV a few times. In contrast, my little ant design will be more inclined to a fuel car, which I think looks a little more pleasing, but if you talk about recognition and return rate, it is really not as good as the KiWi EV.
But when I actually got in the car, I found that the KiWi EV's interior space was not as good as my little ant. This is mainly reflected in the second row of space, 177cm tall when I sit in the back row of small ants, there is a certain gap between the knee and the back of the front seat, I can also move my body slightly, and I am not tired after sitting for an hour. However, the back row of my old watch's KiWi EV is a lot cramped, I sit in the back row and there is basically no room for activity, and I feel that sitting for half an hour will make my legs sore. I saw that the second row of seats on my old watch was basically reclined, and he said that he usually did not use the second row, and most of the time it was put down to expand the trunk space.
In the front row, I think the interior design of the KiWi EV is too simple, the entire central control area is basically nothing, there is no screen, no buttons, only a screen in front of the steering wheel in the car, and several physical buttons on both sides of the steering column of the steering wheel. This design is indeed not ugly, and it is quite compatible with the appearance, that is, I am used to the design of the small ant with a screen and buttons. I am not used to the interior design of KiWi EV, and I feel that the cost of learning is a bit high.
After I actually drove the KiWi EV, I found that the driving experience of this car and the gap between the small ants is not particularly large, its power output is like that of the small ants, it is relatively direct and brisk, and even because the size of the KiWi EV is smaller, I also think that the KiWi EV will accelerate slightly faster when starting. But when it comes time to turn or turn around, I find the benefit of the KiWi EV's small size, its turn angle will be smaller, and it will not be troublesome to turn on some narrow roads. Then there is the feeling of chassis support when the car turns, and it feels that the body is more stable, and there is no too obvious roll.
As for the endurance, my Chery Little Ant is a high-end model with a range of more than 400 kilometers, and although the KiWi EV of my old watch is also high-endurance, it only has a comprehensive endurance of 305 kilometers. At first, I thought that the 100 km endurance gap was quite large, but when I actually drove up, I felt that the 100 km gap seemed to have no impact. Because when I drive the little ant and the KiWi EV, they are charged once every 6 days or 7 days, and the usual travel scene is to commute to work or go to the restaurant with friends to eat, there is no need to go out, when running long distances, 300 km of endurance or 400 km of endurance really has no impact on me.
After I changed the car with my old watch, I also summarized some of the similarities and differences between Chery Ant and Baojun KiWi EV. Although these two cars are quite suitable for daily transportation, the cost of using the car is relatively low, but the small ants are more suitable for consumers like me who have some requirements for the riding space and are more conservative; KiWi EV should focus more on young people, after all, its appearance and interior design are good. So which one would you choose? (Contributed by netizens)
