With a budget of 80,000 to buy a commuter scooter, it is inevitable to give priority to considering the more established Honda Fit, which is not large in size and the cost of the car is not high, but the quality is excellent and the power is also excellent. Even when I bought a car, I listed Fit as a car choice. However, after actually seeing the car, I did not insist on choosing Fit, but spent 80,000 budget to buy Baojun KiWi EV, an independent brand electric vehicle. For me to choose this car, many people think that I am a fool who has a lot of money, but is this really the case?
Baojun KiWi EV is actually not a competitive model of Honda Fit, they are one is a fuel vehicle, the other is an electric vehicle, and the size difference is relatively large, and the competitive relationship is not obvious. In terms of price, the guidance price of Baojun KiWi EV is 69,800-89,800, and it is an electric vehicle, which does not require purchase tax, and can easily get on the green card, without worrying about the problem of limiting the number of the line. In fact, KiWi EV was originally one of the direct competitors of Euler's black cat and white cat, but at present, black cats and white cats have temporarily stopped taking orders, KiWi EV as a black cat, white cat of the same class, it is currently receiving market attention is inevitably higher than before.
Complete configuration, strong intelligent function
When buying a car, how much to consider the configuration factor. KiWi EV has all the configurations to provide, such as tire pressure display, ABS anti-lock, braking force distribution, rear parking radar and other basic functions, on this body are standard. In the actual car, these functions are also relatively large. For example, the tire pressure display, which can accurately display the value of the tire pressure, let us know whether the tire pressure is high or low, especially in the spring and autumn seasons, this configuration is better than simple tire pressure monitoring.
In terms of intelligent configuration in the car, the KiWi EV is somewhat different from the general model. At present, the mainstream car interior control screen is not provided, but it is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel. In fact, the car's Internet of Vehicles is also rooted in the dashboard, and the various functions of the Internet of Vehicles are usually controlled, mainly relying on various buttons on the multi-functional steering wheel, and the learning cost will be higher. However, this set of car networking also has functions such as car home interconnection and voice control. If you want to adjust the air conditioning and switch music, you can use your voice to complete the corresponding operation, in fact, you don't need to do it.
Less space and flexibility
After looking at the configuration, you can look at other aspects of KiWi EV. In terms of size, KiWi EV actually has no advantage, its three circumferences are 2894/1655/1595mm, the wheelbase is 2020mm, in the same price range, KiWi EV is considered to be small size, the space inside the car is actually not large, in and out of the second row also need to put down the first row of seats, the height of 178cm adult men sitting in the back row will be a little cramped. However, the advantages of small size in commuting are more obvious, and it is easier to find a parking space. The small size of the KiWi EV shortens the turning radius to 4 meters, allowing for more flexibility in making U-turns in narrow sections.
The battery life is decent, but the winter endurance is better
In terms of endurance, kiWi EV is a comprehensive endurance of 305 kilometers, which is a medium level in the same price point and is not particularly outstanding. Of course, 305 kilometers of endurance to meet the daily travel scene is not much pressure, most people commute to work every day travel scene, about 30 kilometers, counting the conventional power loss such as turning on air conditioning, KiWi EV in the summer to meet the needs of car owners for a week of travel is basically no problem. According to the test of third-party media, KiWi EV in the cold situation, the winter endurance reach rate of 56.52%, the measured endurance of 172.4 kilometers, its endurance rate is actually better than Nezha V, Euler good cat and even Tesla Model 3.
In fact, in terms of product strength, KiWi EV's own advantages are obvious, as an electric vehicle, it has low car cost, convenient travel, and a relatively complete intelligent configuration. If you encounter a shortage of parking spaces, kiWi EV is actually more suitable than fit. Therefore, there is no right or wrong in buying a Fit or a KiWi EV, but it still depends on what your needs are and what kind of model you want to buy.
