When I saw that WM Motor had set a price of 18.01 to 190,100 yuan for its first car product E.5 at the previous online conference, I was really a little curious... Compared with the numerous competitors of the same level in the current market, what is its confidence?
Until this test drive, I finally knew where the value of the E.5 was...
--A+ or B or W级?
At the first sight of the E.5 real car, because its 4718mm length is placed there, and the visual sense of the body state is not large, it is easy to define it as the grade of the A+ class car.
But the wonderful thing is that the E.5 has 2810mm, which is so appropriate to belong to the wheelbase length of the B-class car, so from the appearance, it will feel that the four wheels of this car are particularly close to the four corners of the body... Hey! Many racing cars and performance cars also pay attention to the basic theory of four-wheel four-angle control, that E.5 handling... Hey! expect......
The first benefit of the long wheelbase for appealing to family cars like the E.5 is reflected in the ride space... The spaciousness of the rear seat space is indeed B-level, and the seat cushion support is enough, the back tilt is also comfortable enough, and the double panoramic canopy with a total area of 1.91 square meters above the head, the visual openness is not bad, which makes me feel satisfied in the back seat of E.5.
that...... Should the E.5 be considered an A+ or B-class car? maybe...... I'll just call it W-Class... WELTMEISTER original, right? This also shows that WM does use the technical advantages of the pure electric vehicle architecture very well!
--This kind of human-computer interaction is really smooth
Changed to the front seat, the layout of the E.5 laid out to my first impression, which is slightly more simple than other independent brand new energy vehicles. The 12.3-inch instrument and the 12.3-inch central control screen support the creation of the atmosphere of the vehicle's science and technology, and strictly speaking, the display content of the two screens has no fancy visual effects, and it is a very practical function setting.
Originally, I was slightly disappointed with such a technological function, but I did not expect that WM's Living Mate intelligent cockpit system was surprised in the back... First of all, the boot and network response of the central control screen is very fast, and it does not take long for the car to start to enter WM ID and QQ Music, Tencent, AutoNavi Map... The main functional interface home of the full interconnection of accounts.
Secondly, these functions do not need me to bother to operate, say "Serena Serena" can wake up the interaction assistant, operate multimedia, vehicle control (air conditioning, car windows... ), intelligent driving assistance, entertainment applications four major sections of dozens of functions, and what makes me fascinated is that this voice function is based on the iFLYTEK 3.5 system self-developed, its semantics, context recognition is quite high, the response action is fast and accurate, is the best performance in the recent test drive model of Xiaobian!
In fact, the car is a car after all, the technology function is just the icing on the cake, and the basic function should be good enough! However, it is important that the technology function should be operated in line with the driver's car environment, avoid the driver's distraction and annoyance, and be simple and easy to control, and the response is ideal. E.5 is with me...
There are not many instrument display functions, but the three major points of mileage, speed and vehicle condition are placed to the maximum, which is clear and easy to read at a glance. That's right...... Speaking of cruising range, the E.5 test drive by Xiaobian has a cruising range of 505km (NEDC), the power when picking up the car is charged to 480km, after driving back and forth for about 130km and turning on the air conditioner in the middle to shoot at a fixed point... With electricity, I feel that the endurance sign of this car is still quite accurate.
--A distinctive driving mode
WM E.5 original car power is marked as the maximum power of 120kW, the maximum torque of 240Nm, about the level of the general 1.5T engine, plus the weight of this car reached 1649kg, running enough? In fact, in the two driving modes of comfort and economy, the acceleration is indeed a little gentle, but it gives me a feeling that it is more than 240Nm...
Once switched to the sport mode, the reaction of stepping on the electric door was instantly transformed into a radical and sensitive, and the sense of vehicle acceleration was not only 240Nm, it was quite a feeling, I wondered if WM was too conservative in marking the power?
Drive faster, the E.5's long wheelbase and four-wheel four-corner advantages are also revealed, high-speed straight stability is good, body dynamics when cornering is also stable, the limit is quite high! If I buy this car, I will basically only change the shock absorber and tires, and I should be able to run very happily!
After a whole day of getting along with E.5, I found that this car is a unique existence in the current new energy vehicle products, it does not pursue fancy design and flashy functions, but in all the technical base related to the use of cars to a high degree of maturity, this emphasis on the fundamental products I actually like!
But it can't be said that WM E.5 is old-fashioned, because it gives the matter of decorating the vehicle to consumers to play on their own - to provide a custom fund, so that the owner can adjust the car color according to his own preferences, add the tail wing... Just like the E.5 that Xiaobian test drove, it has undergone the appearance of the film, the wheel spray color treatment, to be cool is also there!
Such a WM E.5, priced at 18.01 ~ 190,100 yuan, do you like it?
Come all come, don't you like it?
