Sihao Automobile, as a sub-brand of Volkswagen, comprehensively benchmarks the technical application and quality standards of Volkswagen, and its product Sihao E40X is equipped with Huawei's intelligent ecosystem, the appearance is cool with a scientific and technological atmosphere, and the interior luxury intelligence level is high, but since its listing, its sales are not ideal, and it can even be said to be very bleak, what is this?
As a new energy vehicle product, the battery technology of Sihao E40X is its own strong core competitiveness. Using liquid-cooled ultra-safe cellular battery technology, the whole series uses a 55 kWh (2021 Jinjia Version Pro is 66 kWh) super high-performance battery pack, the comprehensive cruising range is up to 420 (502) km, and the whole series provides fast charge, slow charge two kinds of charging interfaces, fast charge 0.75 hours, slow charge 9.5 hours full charge. Unfortunately, this range and charging performance, although competitive in the price range of 130,000 yuan, is not the top.
The power performance of each car is often the most concerned place for consumers, and the E40X series is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 110 kilowatts, a maximum horsepower of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 340 Nm. In normal mode, the initial response of the accelerator pedal is more sensitive, acceleration will not give people the feeling of dragging mud with water, after entering the ECO mode, the first third of the acceleration pedal is relatively slow, more suitable for urban congestion sections, when the acceleration pedal is too deep, the power will suddenly surge, and the wet road will appear tire slippage. Kinetic energy recovery is divided into high and low gears, similar to the deceleration drying of the fuel vehicle taxiing state at low gear, and there will be a certain degree of drag feeling when decelerating at high grade.
The chassis adopts the front suspension of McPherson-style independent suspension, and the rear suspension of the longitudinal arm twisting beam type non-independent suspension, the steering force adjustment is heavy, and it is difficult to feel the front wheel state from the steering wheel at low speed, and the overall adjustment has a certain virtual position. When passing through bumps such as speed bumps, the body movement is crisp and does not appear very loose, and fine vibrations are occasionally felt in the left foot area, and the chassis performance is not very good.
The appearance will give everyone a first impression, sihao E40X front face with a swing blade split headlight, with a large number of chrome trim and black trim, the overall sense of movement is very strong. The styling of the side of the car is also sporty, with a double waistline and smoked black design, with a suspended roof, which has a strong sense of sport. The taillights are officially called "Stargate through the taillights", and the blackened design echoes the black trim panels under the perimeter, giving people a three-dimensional feeling.
The interior of the E40X is wrapped in a large number of soft materials, and has a large number of gold stitching and chrome decoration, which gives people a relatively high-end feeling overall. The whole series is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 10.25-inch central control screen as standard, with L2+ level automatic driving assistance, which can be easily handled in a variety of road conditions. The central control screen has built-in iFLYTEK intelligent voice system and Huawei's smart ecosystem, the Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, voice recognition control are all supported, and support the download and use of many entertainment APPS such as Kuwo Music, AutoNavi, Himalaya, etc., which are very functional, and ordinary Bluetooth, GPS navigation and other functions are not to mention, and the overall level of intelligence is very high.
Summary: As a compact SUV, the popularity of Sihao E40X is not high, although the strength of Volkswagen and Huawei behind it is very strong, but consumers obviously will not choose Sihao for their strength, if Sihao does some promotion in terms of brand awareness, then consumers who choose it may have a certain degree of increase. At the same time, although the product performance and intelligent configuration performance of Sihao E40X are relatively good, as a rapid development of new energy technology, various traditional brands and new car-making brands are emerging in an endless stream, and the product strength is also very high. If you want to increase sales, you must improve the all-round ability of the product, first make up for its own shortcomings, and then deeply strengthen its own advantages, and comprehensively achieve impeccable, and the sales volume of the product will increase significantly.
