I am a post-90s, living in Sanshui, Foshan, but working in Panyu, Guangzhou, so I need to often travel between the two cities. My main way of getting around is to squeeze the bus and subway, but the time spent on the road every day is four or five hours at a time, which is really exhausting. Considering that he had some savings in his hand, he decided to buy a commuter scooter.
After hearing about it, my good friend Ajie strongly recommended the Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi electric drive version e-POWER (hereinafter referred to as the Xuanyi electric drive version) he bought, and said that his car is not only powerful, quiet and comfortable, costless, but also very smart, very suitable for long-distance high-speed commuting. At his gracious invitation, I decided to go with him to the highway to inspect the goods.
The route I chose was from Foshan Sanshui Square, on the First Ring Road Guangsan Expressway, then on the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway, Guangzhou Ring Expressway, under the Shiliugang Bridge, take the Xinguang Expressway, and arrive at Guangzhou Panyu Times E-PARK.
One-way 68km, round-trip almost 136km, of which the highway has 112.6km, accounting for 83% of the total distance.
Before leaving, we turned the air conditioner to 24° and blocked the wind three times.
It is said that the hybrid high-speed is not fuel-efficient, in order to thoroughly understand the strength of the Xuanyi electric drive version, we choose the standard mode to open at high speed, in this mode, the kinetic energy recovery is the weakest, in other words, the most expensive fuel. Urban areas switch to economic mode, which is also in line with the characteristics of urban driving stop-and-go.
Considering that I hadn't driven in a long time, I asked Ajay to take me with me.
Easy to get started, the motor response is very fast and smooth
Let's go! As soon as the vehicle passed through the high-speed toll booth, the navigation prompt of "speed limit 100 on the road ahead" sounded, at this time Ajay gave me a look, and then the vehicle accelerated, and I leaned back.
Just after a moment of relief, Ajie, like a salesman, introduced me to the Xuanyi electric drive version: "100% motor drive, maximum torque 300 Nm..."
Although the speed of the car has reached 100km/h, the car is still very quiet, Ajay does not speak very loudly, and I can still hear it very clearly.
I have to say that the Xuanyi electric drive version of the NVH is really good, wind noise, tire noise is well isolated from the car, if it is not the fuel consumption displayed on the meter, I almost forgot that this car also has an internal combustion engine at work.
Just as I was about to interrupt Ajay's introduction, a large truck suddenly appeared in front of him, only to see him hit the left turn signal - aim at the rearview mirror - change lanes - step on the accelerator - overtake.
Looking at this one-size-fits-all operation, I finally couldn't help it and asked Ajay to change me in the front service area to try.
I was a little rusty when I first started, and I lightly tapped the throttle and found that the starting acceleration was really brisk.
And after the speed reaches 100km/h, when accelerating, you can still feel the sufficient power reserve of the motor, and there will be no powerlessness in the acceleration of other pure electric vehicles at the same price.
Not long after driving, I also encountered a van, and Ajay asked me to overtake, but I was a little hesitant and wanted to follow it.
In the end, in the repeated urging of Ajay, I still came to an overtaking, although I was slightly panicked, but I had to say that this car was really fast.
Suddenly I thought that I was waiting a lot of times, waiting for work, waiting for the bus, waiting for the subway, waiting... And now, it seems that I can take the initiative without waiting.
After successfully overtaking the car a few times, I also gradually got better, planning to feel the "Xuanyi electric drive version" in Ajie's mouth.
In terms of driving experience, I think its performance is closer to that of a pure electric vehicle, although there is also an internal combustion engine, but the internal combustion engine only focuses on power generation, does not participate in direct drive wheels, and does not have the frustration of coupling the power of the traditional HEV internal combustion engine with the driving motor, and it is more smooth to drive.
Single pedals – a boon for congested sections, fun and energy efficient
When there were still 8 kilometers away from the destination, the traffic began to become dense, the car could not be fast, and it was not slow enough to stop, and my right foot could only switch back and forth on the brake accelerator, and I was a little anxious unconsciously.
Ajay seemed to be aware of it and asked me to shift my driving mode to economy.
And explained that the car has kinetic energy recovery, in economy and sport mode has a single pedal mode (pressing the throttle is acceleration, releasing the throttle is kinetic energy recovery). After trying a few times, I found that I really only need one pedal to control the speed, remembering that when I used to practice, my two feet had to manage the clutch, brakes and accelerator, and now one foot and one pedal are really interesting and much easier.
Panyu Era E-PARK arrived, and according to the agreement, I invited Ajie to a big meal. And what awaits us in front of us is a return trip of nearly 70 kilometers.
When I walked to the garage to get in, I found that the vehicle had been activated and the air conditioning was turned on. Ajie looked at me with a surprised face, and did not hurry to explain: "Just after eating, I have already used the remote control function of the mobile phone APP to turn on the air conditioner in advance."
Then, he pointed to the "car home interconnection" on the central control screen and said: "In fact, Xuanyi electric drive version can also control the smart home at home through the car machine, such as opening the intelligent sweeping robot and opening the air purifier." ”
I watched his "talk show" quietly and muttered, "Are cars so intelligent now?" ”
True fragrance law, driving assistance like an old driver, peace of mind and comfort
It may be that it is not long to eat enough, just on the highway is a little tired.
After I yawned, Ajay asked me to try the ProPILOT super intelligent driving system, but I felt useless, and I felt more secure driving by myself. However, under Ajay's repeated persuasion, I still opened it, and the result could not escape the law of true incense.
I found that not only did it help me automatically keep up with the car in front of me, but the distance was adjustable, and even if a cart suddenly interspersed in front of my lane like now, its deceleration would not be abrupt, and when the vehicle went a little farther, it would smoothly speed up again.
In addition, the hand on the steering wheel can feel that the system has been helping us to maintain our position in the middle of the lane.
At this time, Ajay suddenly came to the sentence: "Hello, Nissan, I want to listen to the song", a familiar song "Once Upon a Time" sounded, listening to the sound of bose sound, the state of my driving became more and more online. According to Ajay, the car also has a K song function, and he proposed that another day he could ask a few buddies to sing together in the car.
As the high-speed experience drew to a close, I proposed to refuel the car as a token of gratitude as I approached my home.
But Ajay said don't worry about me, and proudly said that his car has a smart refueling function, whether it is the location of the nearby gas station, or the price of oil, the car machine system knows everything, and refueling, ticketing and do not have to get off the car, after refueling and driving away.
This operation is really high-end, and I also took a look at the fuel consumption, showing that it was only 5.2L/100km. Well, this fuel consumption is still a surprise, one is to run out in the most energy-saving way, and the other is that after all, it is also the first test drive Xuanyi electric drive version, and they are not familiar with each other.
A simple calculation, the fuel tank of the Xuanyi electric drive version is 41L, which can run about 780 kilometers according to today's fuel consumption.
Today, the price of Guangdong 92 is 8.32 yuan / L, calculated, it takes 341.12 yuan to fill a tank of oil, then it only takes 0.43 yuan to run a kilometer, and it is acceptable. And this car is not picky at all, in addition to 92, E10 ethanol gasoline can also be drunk.
However, when I press the calculator, I also know clearly that the bus and subway are usually 34 yuan back and forth, if you buy a car across the city, the cost is actually higher, and it is not counted as the money to buy a car.
But you can really spend more time with your family, and more importantly, you can have a comfortable and intelligent independent space, and occasionally you can go to the "sword fight with friends and relatives".
Looking at the smile and pride on his face, my heart had secretly made a decision...
Write at the end
Because of this high-speed test drive experience, I admit that I was planted by the Xuanyi electric drive version of e-POWER, which allowed me to see a new way of life that was different from the past, and my brain even had a sense of picture:
You can sleep more, don't get up early and get up early in the dark to catch the bus and squeeze the subway;
Use the mobile phone remote control in advance before going to work, start the vehicle first, turn on the air conditioner;
Sit in a thick, soft seat and hum a song in the musical atmosphere released by the BOSE sound;
Ride all the way on the highway and enjoy a fast, smooth and quiet time alone;
Turn on the intelligent driver assistance system to make the road safe and easy...
Thinking of this, I sent a message to Ajay and asked him to accompany me to the Dongfeng Nissan 4S store tomorrow.
Of course, the story of me and Xuanyi electric drive version of e-POWER has just begun.
