In the spring of March, the weather in Chengdu gradually warms up, and the vitality of a winter that has been silent is gradually recovering, which is the perfect time to travel.
The ravages of the epidemic have turned "going far away" into a luxury, and public transportation such as high-speed rail and airplanes is at risk of infection. However, a person, a car, to Chengdu around the car is also a good choice.
Bring a picnic and camping tools, drive the Z03 and travel from Chengdu Hechuang Colette Experience Center to Dujiangyan Zhuluo Dam, which is about 70 kilometers from the city. A suburban self-driving trip also gave us the opportunity to deeply feel the small details of this Chaozhi car that has received enough attention to impress young consumers.
Travelling by car requires a good car
Our Z03 Chaozhi Edition is equipped with a 64.6kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a CLTC pure electric cruising range of 510km. Driving it down a week of commuting down the battery only dropped by a quarter. In other words, if you only pass in the urban area, it is enough to charge once a month. With my previous experience, this "small long distance" from Chengdu city to Dujiangyan, I am full of confidence in the endurance of hechuang Z03.
The Z03's driving experience in the urban area is impeccable, and multiple driving modes provide the best driving experience in different driving scenarios. For example, if the "NORMOL mode" is opened in congested road sections, the power output of the Z03 will be more gentle and linear, avoiding the situation that the occupants will get motion sickness. If you want to pursue longer endurance, you can open the "I-PEDAL single pedal mode" to increase the efficiency of kinetic energy recovery and bring stronger endurance.
Pure electric models more or less have a little "high-speed phobia", Hechuang Z03 has always emphasized that it is a "big space for chaozhi travel", and only after high-speed testing can it know whether it is a model suitable for self-driving travel.
Because we are full of confidence in the endurance of the Z03, so after we get on the high speed, we directly open the "SPORT Sport Mode", the maximum power is 135kW, the peak torque is 225N·m, and the speed will be more rapid. Of course, driving fast and still have to drive steadily, the mechanical quality of hechuang Z03 itself is excellent, even if it is driven with full force against the speed limit, there will be no feeling of light fluttering, and the chassis is very solid.
Even driving at full speed in the "SPORT Sport Mode" at high speed, the endurance of the Z03 is still "as stable as an old dog", and the actual mileage and endurance consumption are basically maintained in a 1:1 state. In fact, before that, the editorial department also got a lot of new energy test drives, but the power loss speed of many pure electric vehicles on high speed can be described as "scared". However, the Z03 has completely assured me with a stable and solid performance.
It's important to travel by car to reserve enough stamina. When you are tired and want to take a break, you can turn on the L2+ intelligent driver assistance function through the intelligent voice interaction system of the Z03. The ACC adaptive cruise experience of the Z03 can be described as "pure fire" for the control of speed, the acceleration and deceleration are just right, and the second half of the high-speed journey is very easy.
After getting off the highway, you will enter the urban area of Dujiangyan, which is a 5A scenic spot in China, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery, and has the tranquility and tranquility that Chengdu does not have.
It's also important to be able to dress up and have fun
After driving through the last section of mountain road, we arrived at the destination of this time, ZhuluoBa. Zhuluo Dam is actually a large reservoir, so compared to other well-developed scenic spots or campgrounds, Zhuluo Dam has a wild temperament, there is no planned site, there is no serious commercial vendors, only the beauty of the landscape, and the shape of the Z03 trend Zhiku also echoes the scenery here.
Self-driving tourism, especially camping, the car "can be loaded" is a must. The Z03 is quite capable of loading, and the trunk capacity of the 370L is more than enough for the family's luggage. On this trip, I brought a folding table, a folding chair, a cooking pot, a small oven, even if I added some sundries that I had put in the trunk before, there was still a lot of spare space, and there was no problem in putting a few tents. If you meet three or five friends going out together, the rear seats can also be reclined proportionally, and the ride and storage are flexible.
Going out to play is certainly indispensable BBQ, many tourists who come to Zhuluoba camping set up a charcoal fire, set up a grill to start barbecue, but in this kind of undeveloped campfire is very unsafe, and Hechuang Z03 has an external discharge function, after connecting a dedicated external wire, you can power the small oven and cooking pot, safe and convenient.
In addition to being able to install, the Z03 can also become an "entertainment prop" for self-driving camping, and its interior can provide an immersive entertainment experience. The Z03 system has a wealth of built-in applications, such as cool dog music, bilibili, sing bar and other video apps commonly used by young people, and after the latest OTA, it has also added game applications such as fruit ninja, fishing master, and happy landlord. After closing all the windows, the entire cockpit can be transformed into a video hall and a game hall in seconds, and such a private entertainment space is particularly precious at the moment when the epidemic is raging.
After lunch, the front seat of the Z03 is flattened to 180 degrees, and after the headrest is removed, the front seat and the rear seat are perfectly combined, and there is a "lying flat" condition. And the seat filling and wrapping of the Z03 are very moderate, lying flat will not have discomfort, in the gap of daily work can be completely rested and relaxed in the car, you can also lean back on the rear leg on the front seat, open the bilibili, the car seconds become "private theater".
The temperature in Chengdu at the beginning of April has not yet fully warmed up, and the temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius has not yet reached the season that is most suitable for trams. Even so, driving 140km back and forth including urban areas, highways, and mountain roads, Hechuang Z03 only consumes about 150km of electricity, such a battery performance is undoubtedly very solid, in the long-distance self-driving endurance of this pass, Hechuang Z03 is absolutely qualified.
Hechuang Z03 received more than 3,000 orders in March, and the delivery volume exceeded 1,600 units. The excellent results found the reason after a long day of experience. After all, whether it is the appearance, practicality, or the Chaozhi lifestyle that it brings, Hechuang Z03 gives young consumers what they want!
Just past April 9, the 2022 Z03 has also been officially listed, adding a more cost-effective tide cool version of the Z03, the strength of the increase in transparent chassis, electric tailgate and other 8 functions, let us also can't help but start to look forward to, once again test drive experience of the new version of the model.
