As one of the earliest deliveries of new car-making forces products, Xiaopeng G3 has achieved good results, the reason why it was "once" is because now Xiaopeng Automobile's best-selling is its big brother Xiaopeng P7. Among them, in addition to the outstanding product strength of Xiaopeng P7, it is also related to its late listing and more market-friendly design. And in the pioneer army xiaopeng G3 entering the market is naturally not far behind, after more than two years Xiaopeng Automobile launched the Xiaopeng G3 mid-term redesign model Xiaopeng G3i. With more than two years of car-making experience to make up for a bad repair, Xiaopeng G3i will bring what kind of surprise, the following through the test drive to reveal.

The model of this test drive is Xiaopeng 2021 G3i 520N, the official price is 185,800 yuan, which belongs to the top model with the most complete configuration of Xiaopeng G3i. The biggest change in the Xiaopeng G3i is undoubtedly the front face shape, which uses the same penetrating day running lights and far and near integrated headlights as the Xiaopeng P7. In addition to the relative complexity of the light group, the front face design of the Xiaopeng G3i is still very simple, and the inside of the bottom of the front face is surrounded by an "X" pattern, which is in line with the shape of the Xiaopeng Automobile LOGO.
The test drive type body color is azure green + brilliant white two-color body color, the body color is lively, stylish, small fresh effect on the road back rate is very high, but to get it need to add 3,000 yuan of optional fees. In addition to the two basic body colors of white and gray, Xiaopeng G3i requires an optional fee of 3,000 yuan for choosing azure green + ying white, Yue Dong red + cool black, light yue blue + cool black color matching.
In addition to the difference in body color, the side of the Xiaopeng G3i body has not changed in terms of styling design. The test drive model is azure green + bright white color, and the blackened design of the B and C pillars creates a suspended roof shape, because the color scheme of YueDong Red and Light Yue Blue is black roof, and this design does not appear in the other two optional colors. Compared with the Xiaopeng G3, the body size is much lower in height, from the original 1678mm to 1610mm, the overall body size is 4495 * 1820 * 1610mm, and the wheelbase is 2625mm.
The hidden door handle is undoubtedly the standard for electric vehicles, the left side of the Xiaopeng G3i is fast charging, and the slow charging interface is placed on the right side of the body. Matching 17-inch five-spoke wheels, the larger hub coverage helps reduce wind resistance, while the tires are also Bridgestone's EP300 tires with low roll resistance to improve economy, with tire specifications of 215/55 R17.
Compared with the front of the car, the rear of the Xiaopeng G3i is not obvious, only the black area of the bottom license plate area of the rear is reduced, in addition to which it is still an internship through the tail light and a delicate lamp structure.
The interior changes of the Xiaopeng G3i are also not obvious, and it is more of an improvement to the configuration. Above the centre console is a soft material made of viscose, with leather stitches underneath and a penetrating air conditioner outlet in the middle. The interior color scheme of blue and white contrast is refreshing, and there is a strong sense of technology on the electric car. The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and behind the steering wheel are the gearing lever, the turn signal wiper lever and the driver assistance lever. The headlight control of the Xiaopeng G3i is integrated in a 15.6-inch central control screen, which has a built-in Xmart OS 2.0 system and uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chip to achieve all-scene voice function.
Common functions are placed under the central control screen by the Xiaopeng G3i and presented in the form of touch buttons. Because of the pocket block design, under the central control screen is a storage slot with wireless charging function, followed by a cup holder that runs through the central armrest box.
Above is the panoramic front windshield that makes xiaopeng G3i more famous, the design has good and bad, although the field of vision has been improved, but under the hot sun, it is more painful, even if it is equipped with a sun visor will not be too large. Xiaopeng G3i uses a light gray suede roof, which is comfortable and high-grade, but this is not standard, and it needs to be equipped with a "super comfort package" worth 10,000 yuan to enjoy. Touch-activated reading lights are on the ceiling and the inner mirrors are equipped with automatic anti-glare functions. In the test drive, I found a more interesting thing, Xiaopeng G3i when hanging up the reverse gear reversing image can only switch back and forth between the rear image and the panoramic image can not be displayed at the same time, a bit wasted this 15.6-inch large screen.
In terms of spatial performance, the front row is adjusted to the driving sitting position and there are 2 punches in the head space, thanks to the panoramic front windshield for the head to flow a lot of space. The front row features one-piece sports seats with good wrapping and support, and leather fabrics with punched design for ventilation and heating.
In the guaranteed front driving sitting position, there are two punches in the rear leg space and one punch in the head space. The rear seat provides independent air conditioning outlets and two USB ports, and the middle floor has a slight bulge but does not affect the seat. Unfortunately, there are no headrests in the middle of the rear row, nor is there a central armrest.
The trunk of the Xiaopeng G3i is relatively regular, and the rear seats support 4/6 ratio reclining, which can further expand the trunk space. Since the Xiaopeng G3i is not equipped with a spare tire, there is a huge storage slot under the trunk platform, which contains a quick tire repair tool.
Xiaopeng 2021 G3i 520N is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 145 kW and a peak torque of 300 N•m, and the official acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is 8,6 seconds. However, as an electric vehicle manufacturer, the results are relatively conservative, and our actual measurement time is about 8, 1 or so. The battery is a 66.5kWh ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 66.5kWh provided by CATL, and the NEDC has a cruising range of 520 kilometers.
In terms of handling, the Xiaopeng G3i still maintains the familiar style of Xiaopeng Automobile, and the identity of the electric vehicle brings it abundant power performance, and the steering feel, electric door sensitivity and brake tuning are very comfortable. Driving mode has standard, economical, sports three optional, but also has a three-stop kinetic energy recovery mode adjustment, in the highest gear kinetic energy recovery mode there is a "single pedal" mode trend, but can not be equal to the "single pedal" mode. Among them, the steering power, driving mode and kinetic energy recovery can all be adjusted through the central control screen.
In terms of assisted driving, Xiaopeng Automobile G3 (picture | configuration | inquiry) i has 5 high-definition cameras, 3 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radars, which can achieve full-speed domain ACC adaptive endurance, ALC automatic lane change assistance, LCC lane centering assistance, LKA lane keeping, ATC adaptive curve cruising and other functions, at the same time, also support wired frame / wireless frame / parallel / vertical / diagonal and other parking spaces automatic parking function, these functions can also be turned on or off through the central control screen.
The chassis is still the familiar front McPherson independent suspension, and the rear torsion beam type non-independent suspension, which is tuned for comfort as a whole.
Editor's comments: As an upgrade that condenses more than two years of car-making experience, the change of Xiaopeng G3i can be said to be big or not, not because in addition to the front face Xiaopeng G3i compared to Xiaopeng G3 has not changed much, it is because although the shape has not changed much, but in terms of technology configuration and intelligent application, this upgrade once again makes Xiaopeng G3i walk in the forefront of the same level. At present, Xiaopeng Automobile already has the P7, which is a dangda model, and the complete restart of the Xiaopeng G3i will help to increase sales, if Xiaopeng Automobile has two best-selling models at the same time, it will have an absolute advantage in the competition of new car-making forces.
