What is a real "good car"? I believe that in the minds of 10,000 drivers, there are 10,000 definitions of "good cars". To determine whether a car is good or not, I think it is meaningful only from the perspective of a real user to share. Friends who have watched our "Snail Car Chronicle" program must know that we mentioned a Polar Fox Alpha S. I have driven this car for 1500 kilometers, how is it in actual use? The spell does not fit my definition of a "good car", look down.
First of all, let's talk about the appearance part, we chose the color of "lava red" in the body color. Mainly because Meng Ge has a persistent feeling for red, and secondly, red also has the meaning of red and red. At the beginning as a "steel straight man", I feel a little uncomfortable driving a red car every day, on the other hand, the body size of this car is close to 5 meters in length, the width is close to 2 meters, the size is very large, and I am worried that it will be inconvenient. But after driving, I found two points, the first: the color of lava red is very popular with girls, and everyone said that I drove it without any sense of violation. Second: although its size is large, it not only has radar reminders on the front, rear and side of the car when parking, but even the chassis can achieve no blind spots. There's also active braking and super smart parking, so there's almost no need to worry about the inconvenience of large body size.
The most eye-catching part of the car is its 20.3-inch central control screen. There is now a view on the Internet called "the uselessness of the big screen", and I was a big fan of this view before. But recently, after using the screens of several models, the view has changed. First: such a large screen, just like the dual SIM dual standby 15 years ago, can achieve navigation, entertainment and not mistakes, and can not be separated from the habit. Second: When choosing a continuous screen model, there are several points to focus on, such as whether the light is reflected or not, how the viewing angle is, and whether the clarity of the co-pilot part is enough.
Of course, I also had an in-depth experience with the co-pilot part of the car. Get a few points of feeling, first: the ergonomic design of its passenger seat is very well done. Whether it is in a normal sitting position, or in a semi-lying state, the shoulders, waist, and head can be well supported, crushing the 1,000 pieces of ergonomic office chairs that Meng Ge bought for us, and in the semi-lying state, the eyes can still look at the central control screen very comfortably. Second: the co-pilot's ability to watch the drama has a great temptation for girls, and the male comrades should understand that chasing the drama has a good role in regulating their mood. Third: its screen is 4K resolution, unlike some models to do component screens, reducing the cost of the co-pilot part of the screen, resulting in a great reduction in the effect of use.
The two words I can think of in the main driver's seat section are "roll king". Why is it called the king of rolls, first: in terms of materials, most of the parts that can be accessed by the whole car are made of Ultrasuede ultra-fiber high-grade suede and NAPA leather, and the touch is first-class in this price model. Second: in terms of configuration, the 20.3-inch 4K runs through the meter and the central control, which is larger than the size of the TV set at home when I was a child. And there are 230 colors of ambient lights that can move with the rhythm of music, and it is important to know that many brands of 64 colors are not yet equipped. Of course, steering wheel heating, seat ventilation heating, front acoustic glass, 15W wireless fast charging and 12 sets of Yanfeilis speakers with woofers, etc., are all fully equipped. Third: All the configurations just mentioned can be voiced by calling "Little Fox". The feeling of such a full-level assembly is really difficult to pick out what is wrong.
What I talked about earlier are some of the feelings that I have on the configuration. In fact, the driving aspect of this car is also remarkable. The most obvious highlight of the car is the chassis part, Magna's tuning, and the IMC architecture of the upper steel and lower aluminum, which brings comfort and texture for bump handling, and even better than some German executive-class models. The small deficiency is that in the more intense driving scene, the vehicle's attitude inhibition of rolling and looking up, in daily use, S can give the driver and occupants enough comfort ability, and can provide good mechanical quality in the face of intense driving, and the elk score has reached 80KM. This may be the trade-off between comfort and sportiness in this car.
Previous vehicle driving may have simply considered how to drive. But today's intelligent driver assistance systems have become an indispensable part of the driving experience. The version of the 708S+ we purchased is equipped with an L2.5 level assisted driving system, which can not only achieve the conventional L2 level of driving assistance, but also realize functions such as automatic lane change with lights, and the rhythm is very relaxed when driving at high speed. Of course, if there is a requirement for more cutting-edge, more technological, more intelligent technology, there is also a HI version to meet your needs.
Next, let's talk about the range and energy consumption that everyone is most concerned about. A few days ago, Meng Ge did a small test of electric endurance for this car, driving 16.7kWh of energy consumption in the case of 120km/h high-speed and long-term traffic jams for two people in comfort mode. And I usually have a single comfort mode, with the air conditioner and sound on, the energy consumption of 120km/h at a uniform speed is a little lower, which is about 15.5kWh to 16kWh. Coupled with the car's large battery of 93.6 degrees, even if it is two high-speed round-trip "wide-deep long-distance" trips a day, there is no mileage anxiety problem.
Finally, the deep feeling is the service of the Jihu brand. The price of this car is not high, but I was surprised that there are 12 service personnel in a car. And friends who have installed charging piles may know that the relevant procedures and processes are more cumbersome. Unexpectedly, the staff of Jihu took the initiative to contact me, made an appointment in advance to visit the power supply bureau, and also brought relevant materials that needed to be provided to the property. The preparation of installing the charging pile in 2 hours is completed, and the efficiency and attitude are very good. Regarding the service, I think it is the most praiseworthy part of this brand. It can be seen that in terms of service, The Pole Fox has spent a lot of thought.
Write at the end
At the beginning I asked what a "good car" is. At present, the standard of a good car in my heart is, first: to be comfortable and reliable, and not to bring me unnecessary troubles when using it, such as mileage anxiety, oil price increases and after-sales service. Second: to be rich in configuration, before opening an old 3 series, it does not have a central control screen and atmosphere lights, and I really can't accept the contemptuous eyes. Third: to be comfortable and relaxed when driving, you may have had enough of the hard chassis and heavy steering, and you increasingly feel that there is no need to show the so-called personality in a commuter car. So the Polar Fox Alpha S is a good car in my eyes. What do you think of it? What do you think of as a good car? Leave a message in the comment area.
