Back to September 2018, this is the "place where the dream began" of WM Motors, as a new force that has attracted much attention, WM Motors has achieved the mass production delivery of its first car EX5 at a speed far exceeding other brands, and has since entered the fast track of development. WM E.5 and other products have been launched, and the continuous enrichment of product camps has brought good market performance to WM Motors, according to the data of the China Automobile Association: in 2022, the delivery volume of WM Motors was 5516 units, an increase of 211.3% year-on-year.
According to the "AutoMotive Business Review", on April 15, WM Motor's intelligent pure electric car WM E.5 ushered in a blockbuster update, launching two models of the new WM E.5 Pro and the new WM E.5 Zhikexing priced at 180,100 and 190,100 respectively. This is a WM motor from the perspective of family cars to think, in accordance with the "high is the standard" standard to create a product, perhaps the emergence of the new WM E.5 can catalyze the expansion of WM Motor in the new energy market.
In line with the mainstream aesthetic, the household attributes are remarkable
In terms of appearance, the new WM E.5 is definitely in line with the aesthetics of mainstream consumer groups, it is based on a simple, pure design concept, as a pure electric product, using a closed front face design, and in order to help the front motor dissipate heat, the front surround is still designed with an air intake channel. The headlight line is relatively straight, and it blends well with the luminous LOGO in the middle, bringing good recognition.
The new car has a body length of 4718mm, 1838mm and 1535mm, and a wheelbase of 2810mm, which can bring a good space experience as a medium-sized car. From the side, the new car still looks very simple, and a sunken line above the side skirt adds a bit of three-dimensionality to it. In addition, the blackened window frames and A/B/C pillars create a suspended roof effect, which is both dynamic and stylish with large slipbacks and 18-inch blade five-frame wheels.
The tail design also has no complicated elements, and the design of the tail light echoes the front face, and a black trim strip runs through the left and right. Overall, the new WM E.5 does not deliberately pursue the ultimate avant-garde, giving people the feeling of a cup of hot milk, although the taste is relatively light, but it makes people feel warm, from the design can be seen that the new WM E.5 is a product that emphasizes "household attributes".
The configuration is superior, and it is more comfortable to use
Inside the car, the interior design of the new WM E.5 is a bit "careful". It follows the WM horizontal wrap-around interior cockpit style, with a large area of soft material wrapping and metal brushed trim embellishments, making the cabin look clean and warm at the same time, without losing the sense of grade. In addition, the interior only retains some physical buttons with practicality, coupled with the interspersed design of the 12.3-inch digital instrument screen + 12.3-inch large screen, creating a good futuristic atmosphere, while the only 1.91㎡ large panoramic canopy in the same class brings a more transparent view to the cockpit.
In terms of intelligent experience, the new WM E.5 is equipped with the Living Mate intelligent cockpit system, which integrates rich applications such as AutoNavi map navigation and QQ music, and these applications can achieve full interoperability through exclusive WMMA ID. In addition, the voice interaction system of the new WMMA E.5 is based on the new iFLYTEK 3.5 system for in-depth self-development and development, through the "Serena Serena" command wake-up can realize the control of multimedia, vehicle control, intelligent driving assistance, entertainment applications of the four major plates of dozens of functions.
In addition, the new WM E.5 also supports remote control of the model through the mobile phone APP, and has the only immersive subwoofer of the same level composed of multiple high-performance speakers + 1 super subwoofer high-performance sound card, and it will be a very pleasant thing to play its own song list in the car.
In order to provide users with a more comfortable driving environment, the new WM E.5 is also equipped with a Living Pilot 3.5 Base Pilot Assist System that integrates ACC adaptive cruise, FCW forward collision warning, AEB automatic emergency braking and other functions, making driving safer and more convenient. On the whole, the configuration of the new WM E.5 is much richer than that of its peers and has a higher product value.
Pure electric architecture research and development, performance is not bad
As a product based on the forward development of pure electric architecture, the new WM E.5 also has a good performance in performance. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 120 kW and a peak torque of 240 N·m, which is comparable to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 2.0 liters, and an acceleration time of 0-50 km/h in just 4 seconds, and three driving modes are available: ECO/SPORT/COMFORT.
In terms of battery life, the new WM E.5 is equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a battery capacity of 58.6kW·h, the system energy density reaches 160wh/kg, the NEDC cruising range reaches 505km, commuting, grocery shopping, picking up children or taking a self-driving trip around on weekends. In addition, in the fast charging mode, it takes only 39 minutes to increase the power from 30% to 80%, which is the time of an afternoon tea, and in the slow charging mode, it takes 9.5 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. Based on the standardized VDA cell module, the battery pack is developed, and the battery safety can also be effectively guaranteed.
Written in the end: Today, family cars account for a large proportion of China's automobile consumption, but the products on the market are uneven, and it is difficult for consumers to find a model that can meet their ideal standards in all aspects. As the first product to achieve the "high-end is standard" standard, the performance of the new WM E.5 in terms of design, configuration, technology, power and other aspects has surpassed the same price of products, setting a new value benchmark in the medium-sized pure electric car, providing consumers with high-quality choices for low-carbon travel.
