On April 15, WM's first sedan, the new WM E.5, was officially launched, with an overall price range of 180,100 to 190,100 yuan, and a total of 2 models were launched. Among them, the first 10,000 users who book a car can enjoy a preferential activity of 10,000 yuan to 40,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a discount of 30,000 yuan on the basis of the guide price. In addition, for non-operating vehicles, WM officially provides a lifetime battery warranty service. So what's the point of this new WM E.5? In this issue of "Smart Look at the New Car", Xiao Zhi will take everyone to analyze it.
Although the new WM E.5 is only 4718mm long, the wheelbase has reached 2810mm, which also makes the WM E.5 perform well in the interior space, especially the rear legroom. This is also a major advantage of the model created by the pure electric platform, because there is no engine, drive shaft and other components, so that the wheelbase can be made larger, and the occupant space in the car is effectively released.
In terms of styling, the WM E.5 adopts a simple design concept, the front face is still a semi-closed design common in electric models, but there is still an air intake channel at the lower bumper to help dissipate heat. Standard LED daytime running lights, increase the recognition of the whole vehicle, it is a pity that the headlights still use halogen bulbs, if you can upgrade to LED headlights, it will be better.
On the side of the body, the body line of the WM E.5 is relatively slender, especially the wheelbase reaches 2810mm, and the rear legroom performance is excellent. The standard 18-inch wheels and the blade-style 5-spoke two-tone wheels are also very visually outstanding.
The rear part of the Weima E.5 is the same as the front face, and it adopts a relatively simple design language, and the headlights on both sides of the rear are connected to each other through black trim, and the overall blackened design is adopted, which adds a touch of sports.
The WM E.5 comes standard with an unopenable panoramic canopy, measuring 1.91 square meters and making the interior feel very transparent. The dark interior is paired with silver trim panels, and although the visual effect is not so outstanding, it is better than the attractiveness.
Similar to the appearance, the interior layout of the WM E.5 is also very simple, but retains some of the physical buttons, which is more convenient for daily use. The 12.3-inch central control screen supports the Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades and other functions, officially known as the Living Mate intelligent cockpit system. It is not lagging behind other competitive models.
The new WM E.5 launched a total of two configuration models, the main difference is the gap in the driver assistance system, let's take a closer look.
The entry-level model with a guidance price of 180,100 yuan has been relatively complete in terms of comfort configuration, such as cruise control, Bluetooth key, keyless entry/start, 12.3-inch LCD instrument, 12.3-inch central control screen, automatic headlights, automatic air conditioning, remote start and other functions. On the basis of meeting daily use, it can also provide enough convenience, so the entry-level model is the most recommended model for Xiaozhi to buy.
The new WM E.5 high-end model is mainly equipped with an additional set of L2-level driver assistance system in terms of configuration, including ACC adaptive cruise, active braking, front anti-collision warning and other functions, the official name is Living Pilot 3.5 Base intelligent driving assistance system. The price difference with low-end models is 10,000 yuan, if it is a friend with a sufficient budget, it can be considered, but Xiao Zhi believes that the gap is a bit unworthy.
WM's life in China in recent years is not good, from a few years ago with Xiaopeng to the current market share is getting lower and lower, in the final analysis, it is because the product update is too slow. Now the official listing of the new WM E.5 can more or less help WM out of some decline, but Xiao zhi still believes that the pricing of WM E.5 this time is slightly on the high side, if there is a certain preferential margin in the terminal, then this new WM E.5 can still be worth considering buying. So, what do you think of the new WM E.5? Do you think the price is acceptable? Feel free to share it with us in the comments section. (Text/PP, picture part from the network)
