This is not Euler black cat / white cat to stop taking orders, my cousin does not know what electric car is suitable for the budget of about 80,000, so she came to me as an "old driver" to help her recommend it. I chose two electric cars for my cousin that can be bought for about 80,000 yuan, one is a zero-run T03, and the other is a Baojun KiWi EV, and I think these two models girls will like more. Because these two cars were recommended by me, my cousins called me to go to the test drive together when they went to the test drive.
We first test-drive the zero-run T03, which is more in line with most people's impression of the car, the shape is relatively simple, but added some sleek line treatment, my cousin thinks this shape is more cute. Then we went on to experience the space, power, driving experience and other aspects of the zero-run T03 in depth, and then went to test drive the Baojun KiWi EV. After test driving these two models separately, I also felt the obvious gap between Zero Run and Baojun.
The appearance of Baojun KiWi EV is still relatively special, when my cousin and I went to the Baojun 4S store, we did not need to be introduced by the staff, and we could tell which one was KiWi EV from the models in the showroom. The styling design of this car is indeed different from the general model, the curvature of the front windshield and the roof is more obvious, with the two-color livery of the upper body, the use of hidden design of the door handle and other elements, is more recognizable. It can be expected that if the KiWi EV is driven to the road, the return rate should be relatively high; in contrast, the zero-run T03 is not so eye-catching.
When I experienced the interior space, I found that the KiWi EV was a little worse than the zero-run T03. When entering and exiting the second row of the KiWi EV, you need to put the front seats down first, and then enter and exit the second row, which is not convenient for the design of the T03 double row and five doors. And when sitting in the back row, you can find that the second row of kiWi EV leg space is not very generous, like me a tall 178cm tall man, knees and the top of the front seat backrest; my cousin is 165cm tall, sitting in the back row is still a little bit of room for activity. The kiwi EV's second row of seats can also be reclined, and the trunk space will be much more spacious after being receded.
By the time I actually drove the KiWi EV, I realized that the car's power output wasn't very strong either. This is not to say that the KiWi EV has poor power, in fact, this car starts relatively briskly, the 40kW electric motor allows it to accelerate to 60km/h relatively easily, and I drive it easily to overtake in urban conditions. But if you want to accelerate at 60km/h, then the KiWi EV's acceleration is a little inferior, the speed is not so fast, it takes a little time to speed up to 100km/h. At that time, when the T03 was actually zero, its mid-to-late acceleration would be relatively fast.
But the KiWi EV's sense of control is a little stronger than the Zero Run T03, its body is small, it is more flexible to drive, when turning around, the turning radius will be relatively small, and the staff said that the turning radius of this car is only 4 meters. And the chassis of this car is relatively tight, the body is also relatively stable, I think there is a little sense of premium, through some of the more potholed road sections, its car bumps will not be too obvious, which may be the reason why the suspension of KiWi EV is a four-wheel solo suspension, the rear suspension of the zero-run T03 using a torque beam non-independent suspension comfort is poor.
In terms of in-car intelligence, kiWi EV learning costs I think are relatively high, it does not have a central control screen, the Internet of Vehicles is integrated on the dashboard, and it must be controlled through the multimedia buttons on the steering wheel. In contrast, the center control design of the zero-run T03 is more conventional, and it is easy to get started. Fortunately, kiWi EV can be controlled by voice, such as adjusting the air conditioning temperature in the car, cutting songs and other functions, moving the mouth can be completed, adapting to a period of time should be better to experience.
After the test drive of the two cars, I gave my cousin a summary of the differences. Zero run T03 has strong power and large space; Baojun KiWi EV has a relatively high value, the control experience will be better, plus its size is smaller, and it will be better than zero run T03. In the end, my cousin decided to mention KiWi EV, she did not have high requirements for space, but paid more attention to appearance.
