Speaking of today's hottest joint venture pure electric models, the SAIC Volkswagen ID. series is bound to bear the brunt. In 2021, the average monthly sales volume of saic-volkswagen ID. series will remain at about 6,000 units, which has become a new support point for SAIC Volkswagen. Among them, the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3, which has just been listed, not only won the 2021 Enterprising New Energy New Vehicle Award, but also guarded the door of the entry-level automobile field for the ID. family with a moderate price.
SAIC Volkswagen's smooth sailing in the pure electricity market has also successfully attracted the attention of its peers. No, Dongfeng Honda officially announced that the Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 will be officially listed in April. Among them, the pre-price of the e-type version is 18.00 to 19.00 million yuan, and the pre-price of the e-moving version is 20.00 to 21.00 million yuan, and the spearhead is directed at saic-Volkswagen ID.3.
So, the two models of "Mai Mang to The Tip of the Needle", who is more in line with the user's appetite? Who can support the façade of the joint venture pure electricity market? Today, let Uncle Che take everyone to see it.
Look at the face first, look at the car first look at the face. Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, as the first product unveiled after Honda released the new pure electric brand, will inevitably make great efforts in appearance design. It adopts the closed front face + through-type light strip + through-type lower surround of the new energy standard, and strengthens the visual impact and color contrast of the front face through the black and white contrast of the color. In addition, the charging interface of the new car is hidden under the logo, and the style is novel.
Although the side does not adopt the common slip-back design of new energy, the C-pillar and tail with a large drop can also show the fashion youth of Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 very well. In addition, the unique hidden rear handle is more recognizable.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 are 4390/1790/1560 mm, and the wheelbase is 2610mm, which belongs to the standard small SUV, which meets the daily home use, but do not have too many expectations for space.
In terms of tails, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 is still "black" all the way to the end. The blackened design of the matrix taillights, diffusers, tail windows, and license plate and logo LOGO form a vivid color contrast with the white body, with a strong sense of sport.
In contrast, the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 has a cute face, which is quite similar to the ID.4 and has a strong new energy flavor. For example, a closed front face, a penetrating lower surround, and a matrix headlight like a large eye. Compared with the muscular Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, the cute saic volkswagen ID.3 will obviously be more popular with girls.
In terms of sideways, the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 does not use too many lines. Only modified by the suspension roof + a straight line through the waist, with a compact and capable body and two-color closed rim, it looks very flexible and cute.
In terms of size, the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 has a length, width and height of 4261/1778/1568 mm and a wheelbase of 2765 mm. Although it is not as large as Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, thanks to the "short front and rear suspension, long wheelbase" design of the MEB platform, its 2765mm wheelbase will ensure that users have more driving space.
The tail is relatively flat. The use of new energy conventional contrast and hidden tail gas, but full of "pixel wind" LED taillights, or more eye-catching.
The exterior design of the two models gives good feedback on the popular new energy elements. For example, closed front face, two-color body design, etc. But for Uncle Che, it is still the appearance design of Dongfeng Honda e: NS1, and the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 is obviously more suitable for girls.
Power and endurance are always the first elements of user car purchase. Among them, the motor of Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 will be available in two power versions, namely a low-power motor with a maximum power of 134kW and a high-power motor with a maximum power of 150kW.
In terms of battery life, Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 will be equipped with high-density ternary lithium batteries with capacities of 53.6kWh and 68.8kWh jointly developed by Honda and CATL, respectively, and the corresponding NEDC pure electric mileage is 420 kilometers and 510 kilometers, respectively. This configuration is obviously born for the city and belongs to the mainstream power and endurance performance. It offers McPherson-style independent suspension + torque beam type non-independent suspension, which can balance handling and comfort, and is more cost-effective.
In contrast, the Volkswagen ID.3 will be equipped with a rear-mounted electric motor with a maximum power of 125 kW and a maximum torque of 310 N·m. In terms of endurance, the Volkswagen ID.3 uses a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 57.3 kWh, providing a cruising range of 430 km and 450 km respectively. The performance is decent, but it lags behind the Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, which is more suitable for daily transportation.
Uncle Che summed up
Honda and Volkswagen seem to be born opposites, and countless riders are also keen to compare the products of the two car companies. From the comparison between dongfeng honda e:NS1 and Volkswagen ID.3, it is still the latecomer Dongfeng Honda e:NS1 that is better. Its appearance is more neutral, and the space, power and endurance performance are more outstanding, which is very suitable for the commuting use of young people.
Of course, if the owner is a girl, it is still more recommended to buy a Volkswagen ID.3, not only the appearance is cute and cute, its compact body also gives it flexible handling performance, which is more suitable for girls to drive.
