The data shows that in March 2022, the terminal quotation of lithium carbonate was 474823 yuan / ton, an increase of 449.33% year-on-year. Compared with the relatively stable selling price in the past decade, this round of increase has begun to appear since the second half of last year, and finally the ladder is transmitted to the battery and pure electric vehicle markets. Prices! It is already the fate of electric vehicles that cannot escape.
In fact, many new energy vehicle manufacturers have issued price adjustment letters, such as Tesla, Xiaopeng Motors, Zero Run, etc., to alleviate the pressure brought about by the rising cost of raw materials. According to reliable news, at the end of this month, WM Motors will also raise the price of models on sale, which is expected to exceed 7,000 yuan, and many purchased owners said that "if you really buy it, you can earn it."
Of course, even in the face of the rising price of the electric vehicle market, consumers who are ready to get on the car also need to choose carefully. So how to choose the model that meets your needs? As an intelligent carrier, how should pure electric vehicles show their hard core strength?
Below, we select three of the more popular pure electric SUV models at a price of 200,000 - WM W6 (2021 520km ACE Jizhi Edition 209,800), Zero Run C11 (2021 510km Premium Edition 209,800) and Xiaopeng G3i (2021 520N 203,900), to compare horizontally to see which model is more worth starting after the price tide swept in.
Smart Cockpit who is comfortable with tech buff bonus
From the initial support for Bluetooth connection car-machine interface sharing, to today's human-computer interaction, the connection between users and vehicles has gradually evolved from weak correlation to strong correlation, and the cockpit has become a smart space for car owners to move their lives. Coupled with a reasonable space layout, healthy and invigorating breathing, and the good touch brought by the interior package, the two work together to bring a smarter, more comfortable and healthy in-car environment and car experience to the owner.
First of all, in terms of intelligent interaction, the three intelligent large screens equipped with WM W6 can bring a smooth interactive experience, and the internal is the application of the Living Mate interactive system, which has WE Live car live broadcast, new WIFI voice assistant, Huawei entertainment ecology, face recognition system, custom scene programming and other functions, and the intelligent experience is very good.
Take the WIFI voice assistant, in addition to natural wake-up, keyword wake-up, shortcut command wake-up and other interactive methods, can achieve more than 120 commonly used function voice control, but also has the left and right dual-area sound source recognition capabilities, can clearly identify who is giving orders to "her", and support 15 seconds of continuous natural voice dialogue, after a wake-up can be interrupted many times, interactive experience is more natural and relaxed.
And WM W6 also has a unique personalized DIY customization, in addition to the official preset nine big scene mode, users can program independently through the WM Zhixing APP, has been opened 25 capabilities, free combination of more than 200 functions.
The zero-run C11 is also doing a good job in intelligent interaction, the three large screens also support linkage, the functions covered internally are also relatively rich, support face recognition, entertainment ecology, and the central control screen and the co-driver screen can be divided into different screens to watch different content, which is a major highlight.
In terms of voice, the door, window, air conditioning, seat, thermal management, charging and other hardware of the car can be controlled through the virtual image "small zero", which improves the convenience of various hardware operations while improving driving safety and interactive experience, and the dual voice interaction of this system can make the user's voice commands not affected by Bluetooth playback in the car.
The Xiaopeng G3i is equipped with a 15.6-inch vertical central control screen, which is the largest of the three models, but the features covered in it are relatively few, taking the voice control, it does not support the wake-free function, and can only recognize Mandarin, because the whole series does not have a panoramic sunroof, so the voice does not have the function of controlling the sunroof.
In terms of comfort cockpit, the seats of WM W6 are made of leather materials, the front seats also support 6-way electric adjustment and heating functions, the second row of seats also support adjustment, the car air purifier, PM2.5 air filtration device and negative ion generator and other health and safety configurations are also equipped, with the official microphone and WM stereo theater surround sound system and multi-color atmosphere lights, so that the car instantly becomes a mobile K room.
The zero-run C11 performance is also relatively outstanding, in the seat, door panel and other positions also use imitation leather material wrapping, the front seat supports the heating function, PM2.5 air filtration device and negative ion generator and other configurations are also equipped, but compared to WM W6 or slightly inferior, such as do not support waist support, electric seat position memory and so on.
The material of the seat and steering wheel of the Xiaopeng G3i is also made of imitation leather material, and the front seats do not have heating and other comfort configurations, and all kinds of air purification devices are not equipped, as a new force model of car manufacturing, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this regard.
Summary: In terms of smart cockpit performance of the three models, WM W6 is relatively more balanced, such as intelligent interaction not only has better voice control performance, but also has special features such as custom scene programming, which are zero-run C11, Xiaopeng G3i does not have, plus rich and practical comfort configuration, which can bring users a better experience.
Advanced automatic driving Who can better understand the user's demands
Reducing the driving burden of drivers and reducing driving safety hazards is the original intention of improving driving intelligence, however, with the change of demand scenarios, intelligent driving is no longer limited to primary functions such as driving assistance and automatic car following. Imitating the behavior of drivers and achieving higher-level substitution has become the current standard for measuring the level of autonomous driving of electric vehicles. Of the three models, who can better understand the user's demands and bring more convenience to the user?
Also first of all, the WM W6, equipped with the Living Pilot 3.0 Zhixing Assistance System, relies on 23 sensors deployed in the whole vehicle, and with the help of million-level cloud computing power in the cloud, it can meet the L4 level of automatic driving in limited scenarios. Specifically, it covers unmanned autonomous parking, intelligent parking assistance, ACC adaptive cruise, pole lane change (ALC), traffic congestion guidance (TJP), automatic navigation assisted driving (NLP), forward travel warning (FCTA), rear travel warning (RCTA), rear travel brake (RCTB) and other functional configurations, which can make the vehicle a safe and free travel space.
For example, the most troublesome parking problem, WM W6 has been equipped with "360 ° panoramic reversing image", "APA automatic parking assistance", "RPA remote control parking assistance", "HAVP self-learning parking" function, whether it is facing home parking spaces, or public parking spaces, can truly achieve "parking freedom".
And after the future OTA upgrade, WM W6 can independently complete obstacle detours, cross-level cruises and automatic parking spaces in a specific parking environment. When you need it, you can also summon vehicles to drive to your side, breaking the distance limit and completely liberating users.
The Leap Pilot 3.0 intelligent driver assistance system equipped with zero-run C11 also performs well, covering more than ten functions such as automatic parking, ACC adaptive cruise, AEB automatic emergency braking system, FCW forward collision warning, etc. In the future, OTA upgrades can also achieve more intelligent driving assistance functions to meet L3 level automatic driving in limited scenarios.
Xiaopeng G3i is equipped with XPILOT 2.5 automatic driving assistance system, currently only support L2.5 level of automatic driving assistance, like WM W6 equipped with HAVP unmanned self-learning parking and the later online PAVP unmanned high-precision map parking function, Xiaopeng G3i also does not have, and the follow-up can not be achieved through OTA upgrades.
Summary: Compared with the zero-run C11 and Xiaopeng G3i, the WM W6 is more comprehensive in terms of automatic driving assistance, and the functional progress after the OTA upgrade is more obvious. In particular, the automatic parking function in some specific scenarios can adapt to more parking lot scenes and provide consumers with more practical intelligent driving services.
Tracing back to the roots who are pragmatic people who save money
The high price of oil and the cost of using electric vehicles are all advantages of Ta. But as a consumer, just like the oil car needs maintenance, buying a pure electric compact SUV, you need to consider more pragmatic rights and interests such as battery warranty and vehicle endurance.
First of all, in terms of battery warranty, WM W6 provides a lifetime warranty service with unlimited years / mileage for non-operating first car owners, while zero-run C11 and Xiaopeng G3i only provide 8 years or 150,000 kilometers of warranty cycle for power batteries, which is much inferior to many fuel vehicles, so WM W6 is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for consumers with pure electric model use anxiety.
In terms of battery life, the NEDC pure electric mileage of the W6 is 520km, the zero-run C11 benefits from the larger battery capacity, the NEDC pure electric mileage is 610km, the performance is the most outstanding, and the NeDC pure electric mileage of the Xiaopeng G3i is 500km, the lowest performance, and all three have adjustable kinetic energy recovery functions. However, users who prefer outdoor leisure can focus on the WM W6, which is equipped with a 6.6kW two-way vehicle charger, which can achieve reverse charging, which can be described as a car supporting all-field electrical appliances.
Summary: From the perspective of battery warranty and endurance level, WM W6 performs the best, especially in terms of the lifelong warranty of the core component power battery, which is the zero-run C11 and Xiaopeng G3i can not be compared, eliminating the user's worries about the service life of the battery.
Write at the end:
Obviously, in the context of the general bullish price of pure electric vehicles, as far as the three models of WM W6, Zero Run C11 and Xiaopeng G3i are concerned, from the ultimate ecological experience brought by human-computer intelligent interaction, to the AVP unmanned automatic parking system of the same level, coupled with the sincerity given in terms of battery lifetime warranty, WM W6 is obviously able to let consumers experience a more trendy intelligent experience at a more economical cost, which is more worthy of consumer choice. Therefore, with the blessing of the current "limited-time preferential" policy, consumers can focus on W6 if they want to buy a new energy vehicle in this price range in the near future.
