Perhaps Tesla has given inspiration to the major new forces to build car brands, this year's pure electric new car does not launch a performance version, go out are embarrassed to say hello to other competitors.
Yes, we want to talk about the zero-run C11 that is at a price of 150,000-200,000, fighting for the market with a very high cost performance, but this time it is its top match, that is, the zero-run C11 performance version. When it comes to performance, everyone thinks of acceleration, braking, handling, and lap time, but these words seem to have nothing to do with mid-size SUVs, let alone a pure electric SUV. Some people will think that the endurance of many trams is a problem, and it is more fatal to start with performance? So this time we carry all kinds of questions, take a good disk zero run C11 performance version, and see if it is worth the word performance.
At first glance, the appearance of the zero-run C11 performance version is exactly the same as that of the ordinary version of C11, and the harmless appearance of people and animals has nothing to do with performance. If you remove the red C11 logo at the rear of the car, you probably can't even recognize the sales of zero runs. But this is not important, after all, like Tesla, Xiaopeng, Weilai and other brands of high-performance models are also similar operations, let's put it aside, as an industry rule.
Although the zero-run C11 performance version looks ordinary, there is a mystery hidden under the skirt. The combination of the front and rear dual oil-cooled electric drives provides a combined power of up to 400 kW and a combined maximum torque of 720 N.m. Although the single speed ratio of the electric drive reducer will affect the maximum speed, to a certain extent, the electric drive has an absolute lead over the performance of the fuel vehicle in the acceleration performance and re-acceleration reaction of 0-100 km / h, which also allows the zero-run C11 performance version to easily achieve 4.5 seconds to break the hundred.
The two of us multiplied on the spot and tried to accelerate several times in a row, and the best result was 4.5 seconds, and the slowest was only 4.6 seconds.
Because of the characteristics and adjustment of the electric drive, at the moment of starting, the release of power is not radical, the adhesion of the tire is very good, and there is no sliding tire phenomenon, and as the speed rises, the electric drive releases all the power, and the strong feeling of pushing back can still be felt in the acceleration of 60-100 km / h. It has to be said that the high efficiency of the electric drive and the almost non-existent thermal decline can make it easy for everyone to try the sensory stimulation of strong G values. Of course, the 255-width tires work perfectly with the front double-piston rear single-piston calipers, and the braking distance can also be reassuring.
Accelerated braking does not represent the comprehensive performance of a car, and only with good enough handling performance can it be called excellent performance. Zero-run C11 chassis hardware quality is very good, with the front double wishbone rear multi-link suspension structure combination, of which the front double wishbone structure and subframe are aluminum material, as we all know that the aluminum swing arm and subframe have the advantages of lighter weight and lower spring quality. On the one hand, the handling performance is improved, while also taking care of the overall weight of the front axle.
In addition, by observing the chassis, we found that the front balance bar of the zero-run C11 performance version is very thick, which has a significant impact on the driving experience, and the front tilt of the front is better suppressed when passing through the corners at high speed, which can give people stronger confidence, but if the speed is too fast when cornering, it will also be accompanied by a more obvious push head effect.
The rear axle of the C11 performance version adopts a multi-link layout, and all the structures are made of steel, which ensures the comfort of daily riding while taking into account a certain sporty type. On the C11 Performance Edition, the rear adjustment style is slightly sporty, and there will be a slight oversteer trend when passing through corners at high speed.
In continuous curve driving, the C11 performance version gives people a more control experience like an entry-level steel gun with a little driving pleasure, and the stability of the front of the car and the slightly flexible tail create a feeling of forward pushing and throwing. The steering wheel's centering force is not stiff, and if you can match the opening and closing timing of the electric door and the steering angle of the steering wheel, you can get a certain driving pleasure on the track.
Another point to mention is its "electric four-wheel drive", which is actually a four-wheel drive system composed of two motors in front and behind. With 200 kilowatts in front and rear, it is impossible to experience a sharp front-to-rear power distribution like traditional mechanical four-wheel drive when cornering and out of the corner. But at least better than many single-motor electric vehicle experience, its wheel end drive distribution calibration is good, and there is no unilateral slippage due to excessive torque release when cornering. If the adjustable front and rear drive distribution ratio can be achieved through OTA upgrades in the future, then it is believed that the zero-run C11 performance version will definitely bring more intense "driving pleasure".
After a few laps of track experience, although the zero-run C11 performance version can not brush out quite terrible lap speed like Tesla Model Y Performance, but the experience at the power and control level can still make people get some simple happiness, personally think that its track experience is basically worthy of its "performance version" title. If weighed in terms of price, the price of 229,800 yuan has been exchanged for 4.5 seconds of hundred-breaking acceleration and a better driving experience than the general electric SUV, you can't ask it to accompany you to brush the circle, but at least it is not a "corner death" that will only use brute force and electric four-wheel drive to run straight.
In fact, in addition to track driving, the scene also arranged a speed bump experience, dense speed bump group have been raised by 2cm, the body ups and downs and bumps are more obvious than the common speed bumps. We passed twice at speeds of 30 km/h and 15 km/h, respectively. It can be felt that the compression of the suspension rebounds quickly during the rapid passage, but the overall partial motion setting will still make the inside of the car more bumpy. The slightly slower speed can be felt by the change in riding comfort brought about by double wishbones + multi-link suspension. The compression of the initial section will be relatively fast, the impact in the car will be much less, and the beating inhibition in the rear row will be much lighter, and on the whole, when passing the acceleration speed reduction belt at low speed, the feeling of the first section is moving closer to the texture of the air suspension. For a 200,000-priced car, although the ride quality is not luxurious, comfort and sportiness are more or less taken into account, which is still relatively rare in other competing models in the same class.
Regarding the experience of other aspects of zero-run C11, our colleagues have conducted in-depth reviews before, so I will not repeat them one by one here, but only briefly introduce the differences between the zero-run C11 performance version and the recent OTA upgrade.
First of all, although the appearance of the zero-run C11 performance version is the same as that of the ordinary version, the interior is slightly different. The overall design of the car is consistent with the ordinary version, such as four frameless windows, double-glazed glass in the front row, 1.14 square meters of panoramic sunroof, three large-size screens and other cost-effective configurations. The interior uses a large number of fur and leather mixed interiors, which enhances the sense of luxury in the car to a certain extent.
But it has to be said that the sense of movement in the zero-run C11 performance version of the car is not obvious, and the integrated seat is also consistent with the ordinary version. The biggest difference is that in addition to the material combination, only the option of extreme mode has been added to the driving mode. As a performance version of the model, we still hope that it can be more practical and more personalized.
Mention of personality has to say that the C11 car machine, which uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the support for software and subsequent OTA upgrades is good, the amount of hardware redundancy is sufficient, multiple programs are switched to use, and there is no Caton. The central control and the attached driver screen can play different contents separately, and the additional Bluetooth headset can also be used to connect the audio separately, so as to achieve an entertainment experience that does not interfere with each other. In addition to the traditional functions and a series of entertainment functions, Zero Run has also launched an exclusive K song tool like many brands, with app and external microphone, it is also quite interesting to come to a song anytime and anywhere.
The acoustic soundstage tuned by Agames also sounds good in texture.
In the end, there is battery life, driver assistance and parking assistance. The zero-run C11 performance version has a rear and rear dual motor layout, and the NEDC has a slightly lower battery life than the ordinary version's 610 km, which is 550 km. However, with the 90kWh battery pack, under the premise of non-continuous intense driving, it can at least provide the performance version with a actual road range of about 450-500 kilometers. In the future, we will also test the actual endurance performance of the zero-run C11 performance version when we get the test drive.
Today, driver assistance and parking assistance functions have become a must for all new car brands. Zero-run C11 performance version and many brands in the early stage of sale does not provide a complete driving assistance function experience, but in these two days of OTA upgrade push, will achieve all 22 intelligent driving assistance functions, such as high-speed assisted driving, adaptive corner cruising, automatic lane change assistance and other functions We will also test one by one in the follow-up content, good to use or not, please look forward to it.
In fact, for the zero-run C11 performance version, we still have quite high expectations, after all, there are many pure electric SUV models in the 200,000 price range, and the "inner volume" between brands is also quite intense. Since the zero-run C11 performance version has chosen the "runway" of the stack, it needs to do the best in terms of space, configuration, performance, and so on. Today we focus on experiencing its dynamic performance, compared to the same price model, personally think it is worthy of the performance of the name. Compared with the ordinary version of C11, it is both the top of the model and the sports version, so this sports version can take into account some "personality" that meets the characteristics of sports while taking into account the high cost performance?
