The advent of the electric vehicle era has made performance and acceleration no longer out of reach. Think of a few years ago, the fuel vehicles with a 4-second acceleration of 100 kilometers were almost all million-level high-performance cars with a large displacement, and now they can already have them in their early 200,000s, and what is even more rare is that this performance does not even need to sacrifice practicality. Fast, cheap and practical, it is the zero-run C11 performance version of our test drive. As the self-proclaimed "cost-effective killer" of zero-run, what aspects of C11's cost-effectiveness are reflected in? What are its highlights in addition to the value for money?
In addition to the excellent power, there is also a tone school
The C11 performance version is equipped with a front and rear dual oil-cooled electric drive, the combined power reaches 400 kW, the maximum torque reaches 720N·m, and the acceleration of 0-100 km/h takes only 4.5 seconds. The capacity of the ternary lithium battery pack has reached 90 kWh, and the operating range of NEDC has reached 550 km.
For such a power parameter, there is no need to consider whether the power of the C11 performance version is enough, its power is not a simple surging can be described, in any mode to step on the throttle to the back half, you can feel a strong push back feeling.
Although the power is very strong, the zero-run C11 is not a high-performance oriented SUV for hardcore players, its steering is very light, although the wheelbase is close to 3 meters, but the turning radius is unexpectedly small, do not feel a little bulky; at the same time, the initial stage of the throttle is also relatively linear, very easy to get started.
Thanks to the chassis structure of the front double wishbone and the multi-link, coupled with the aluminum alloy swing arm and the lightweight design of the connecting rod, its chassis has a strong driving texture, the overall adjustment of the chassis is comfortable, there is enough filtering ability in dealing with potholes and speed reduction belts, and there is enough chassis toughness when continuously changing the line, and it is not loose at all.
The simple aesthetics reflect the multi-dimensional sense of hierarchy
The appearance of the zero-run C11 basically continues the design of the C-more concept car, giving the first impression of being simple and rounded. The headlights are designed in a through-through manner, with a through-through strip integrated with the front cabin cover and matrix LED headlights on both sides. It is worth noting that this headlight group also supports the lamp language function, in addition to bringing a sense of ceremony, you can also judge the state of charging, OTA and so on through the light.
The sides are equipped with frameless doors and concealed door handles, and the two-tone roof is outlined by through-line trims from A to D pillars. The body is 4750, 1905 and 1675 in length, width and height, and is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, but the wheelbase reaches a somewhat exaggerated 2930mm, which is longer than many 7-seat SUVs.
The 20-inch two-tone wheels feature a 15-frame design that conforms to the positioning of the performance version. The tires are made of a horse brand UC6 SUV with dimensions of 255/40 R20.
The C11 series is equipped with 28 high-precision perception hardware, including 1 binocular camera, 1 forward millimeter wave radar, 4 angular millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radars, 4 surround cameras, 4 blind spot cameras and 1 face recognition camera, which can realize 22 intelligent auxiliary functions such as ACC adaptive cruise, LDW lane departure warning, and LCC lane center assist, and will be launched and upgraded through OTAs in the future. For example, in the recent third round of OTA upgrades, 8 intelligent driving assistance functions have been added, such as DOF door warning, RCTA rear lateral car warning, and RCW rear collision warning.
The rear of the car also continues the simple design style, the through-type taillight shape and headlights echo each other, the interior use of elliptical and linear elements, and blackened. Overall, the appearance of C11 is not very high-profile and unforgettable, but belongs to the more pleasing and attractive type.
More than luxury, the three-screen design is better to use
The interior of the C11 also adopts a relatively simple design style, you can see a large number of straight and oval elements, and the large-area NAPPA leather and suede stitching brings a rich sense of layering and luxury to the interior.
The biggest highlight of the entire interior is the three large screens on the center console, which are the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, the 12.8-inch central control screen, and the 10.25-inch co-driver entertainment screen. The car is equipped with the third-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 flagship platform, equipped with autoNavi map, Kugou map, Himalaya, iQiyi and other applications, and supports flying screen mutual transmission function.
In addition, C11 is also equipped with the use of iFLYTEK 3.5 intelligent voice interaction system and face ID automatic recognition adaptation, after recognition login can automatically adjust the seat, rearview mirror according to user habits; in addition, C11 also has deep AI intelligent learning capabilities, according to user habits to judge the music and other content push. It is worth noting that in the recent third round of OTA, C11 also added entertainment and safety convenience functions such as Thunderstone KTV, "Visible and Speakable" small zero voice function, guardian and nap mode, door handle parking function, etc.
When it comes to music, I have to say that C11's HIFI-level surround sound system, this set of audio with a customized 12-speaker DSP independent amplifier system, in order to pursue the best sound quality effect, zero run cost tens of millions of dollars to invite the French professional team to tune, bringing a more realistic sense of presence to the entire carriage.
The one-piece front seats are uniquely shaped, with large NAPPA leather and suede panels, seat heating and ventilation, and up to 10-way electric adjustment in the main car.
Thanks to the extra-long wheelbase of 2930mm, there is a very considerable longitudinal space for the rear of the C11.
Write at the end
Since the release of Zero Run C11 more than a year ago, Zero Run has repeatedly emphasized that it is a cost-effective killer among new power brands. From the perspective of the parameters and configuration of C11, even if it has experienced an increase in the price of raw materials, the cost performance is still quite advantageous in the same level.
However, after this test drive, my understanding of the C11's cost performance is no longer just a superficial parameter configuration. Zero run is not a simple stacking configuration of the brand, whether it is a dynamic driving experience or a static intelligent experience, you can feel that zero run spent a lot of effort to adjust and optimize, bringing a perfect feeling, which may be a better interpretation of the word cost performance.
