As one of the new power brands, WM is not hot, and the only time when the heat is high is the "lock electricity" storm at the beginning of this year. WM invited users to the service station to "upgrade", but in fact secretly locked the electricity, and even some users wrote a song to satirize.
WM's current products on the market include two SUVs and a sedan, the Sedan called E.5 was previously only available to the ride-hailing market, and recently, the new WM E.5 was launched and sold to individuals.
The WM E.5 is positioned as a mid-size sedan, although the wheelbase is up to 2810mm, but the length is only more than 4.7 meters, and its body length is the level of a compact sedan.
In terms of styling design, WM E.5 belongs to the decent type, not stunning but also has no slot point, which is very suitable for the online car market.
The WM E.5 is equipped with a 120kW front-mounted motor, and the official zero-hundred acceleration is 8.9 seconds, which is enough to level up. NEDC has a range of 505km, which is not high in 2022. I just hope that Weima will stop engaging in the trick of locking electricity, causing the endurance to collapse.
Chassis, front McPherson suspension, rear torsion beam type non-independent suspension. Since it is positioned in a mid-size car, the use of torsional beam rear overhang is a bit unspeakable.
There are also many slot points on the configuration. The price of the WM E.5 personal version is not low, and the guidance price of the two cars in the whole series is 18.01 and 190,100 yuan. Even if you count the 30,000 yuan discount at the beginning of the listing, the starting price is more than 150,000 yuan, but there are only 2 airbags in the whole series. Such a security configuration is not qualified.
In addition, both models are equipped with halogen headlights, there is no L2 driver assistance system in the whole series, and only high-end models provide ACC adaptive cruise. The passenger seat is fully adjusted manually. The feature that can be talked about is the standard segmented panoramic sunroof and full LCD instrument panel.
Overall, WM E.5 lacks selling points, the price is not low, the configuration is not high, even only 2 airbags, and the rear suspension also uses a torque beam type. Coupled with the damage to the brand reputation caused by the lock-in storm, it is expected that the terminal market will have to give preferential treatment on the basis of official discounts before it can be sold.
