At a time when oil prices continue to be at a high level, new energy vehicles are more favored by consumers at present. However, when you have a budget of 150,000-200,000 yuan and want to buy a pure electric sedan model, you will find that you don't have many options. As a member of the "new car-making force", WM Motors recently released its new WM E.5 model, and the new car has released a total of 2 configuration models, so let's take a look at how competitive this car is? The opponent we chose for it was the Xiaopeng P5, which was close to the price point.
Price Comparison: Who is more cost-effective to buy?
This time, WM brought two models, namely the new WM E.5 Pro and the new WM E.5 Smart Line. After the comprehensive subsidy, the price is 180,100 yuan and 190,100 yuan, respectively. Now you can enjoy preferential benefits of 10,000 to 40,000 yuan when buying a car, and the price is 150,100 yuan and 160,100 yuan for a limited time.
The 2022 model of Xiaopeng P5 has a total of 4 models, and the manufacturer's guidance price is 179,990-206,900 yuan, from the price point of view, thanks to the current limited-time price of WM E.5, it can achieve a lower starting price. It is understood that the owners of the new WM E.5 who currently buy the new WM can also get a 3,000 yuan customized gift package provided by WM. In terms of vehicle warranty, individual users who purchase WM E.5 enjoy the lifetime quality policy of non-operating vehicle power batteries, and the warranty period of the whole vehicle is 4 years or 120,000 kilometers. In comparison, there is undoubtedly a WM E.5 more cost-effective.
Performance comparison: Who is stronger in endurance and power performance?
In terms of power, the new WM E.5 is equipped with a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 120 kW and a peak torque of 240 N·m. The official acceleration time from 0-50km/h is 4 seconds, and the acceleration time from 0-100km/h is 8.9 seconds. Equipped with a ternary lithium battery, the battery power is 58.6kW·h, and the NEDC standard cruising range is 505KM.
The Xiaopeng P5 also uses a front-mounted single motor drive, with a maximum power of 211 horsepower, a peak torque of 310 Nm, and an official acceleration time of 7.5s per 100 km/h. The power performance performance is stronger than the WM E.5. In terms of endurance, the Xiaopeng P5 provides two kinds of cruising range, 450 km and 510 km respectively. 57.4kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and 61.3kWh ternary lithium battery.
To sum up, the power performance of Xiaopeng P5 is stronger, but the low-end version of WM E.5 can reach 505 kilometers of endurance, and the two have advantages and disadvantages in terms of power system.
Comparison of sizes and spaces: Who can make the ride more comfortable for the family?
WM E.5 length, width and height are 4718x1838x1535mm, with a wheelbase of 2810mm. Its wheelbase has fully reached the level of intermediate cars, Xiaopeng P5 length, width and height are 4808mm, 1840mm, 1520mm, wheelbase is 2768mm, its body length compared to WM E.5 has certain advantages.

In terms of space optimization, the new WM E.5 is a four-wheel four-corner design, so it can achieve a longer wheelbase, and the wheelbase is the key to determining the ride space in the car, according to the actual experience, the front and rear space of the new WM E.5 is better than the Xiaopeng P5, especially in terms of rear space, WM E.5 can bring more ample legroom to the occupants, so that the driver can ride more comfortably.

Intelligent comparison: Who is the real intelligent pure electric home car?
As an earlier launch of the model, Xiaopeng P5's intelligent level has been commendable, Xiaopeng P5 adopts the "star rail surround cockpit", equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, 15.6-inch vertical layout of the central control screen and electronic pocket block, this car machine system has a wealth of car functions, online navigation, online music, and other functions, but the fly in the ointment is that this set of car machines completely rely on touch operation, without retaining physical buttons, which is not very convenient for blind exercises in driving. It will also affect driving safety to a certain extent.
The new WM E.5 is equipped with dual 12.3-inch large screens and is equipped with the Living Mate intelligent cockpit system, which can easily awaken multimedia, vehicle control, entertainment applications and other functions. However, the more user-friendly point of the WM E.5 is that it retains physical buttons such as air conditioning control buttons, which is more convenient for blind exercises during driving.
In terms of intelligent driving, both cars are equipped with automatic driving assistance functions such as parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, road traffic sign recognition, active braking/active safety system, full-speed adaptive cruise and other functions, but WM E.5 2022 Zhikexing is in its early 170,000s price, you can have this set of intelligent driving assistance system, and Xiaopeng P5 will not be equipped with this intelligent driving assistance system until the 2022 460E+ version of 197,900 yuan.
After our comparison, in fact, the results have been obvious, although Xiaopeng P5 has certain advantages in power performance, but in terms of price, endurance, riding space, intelligent level are not as good as the price of WM E.5, therefore, 150,000 WM E.5 still has a strong market competitiveness, may become a dark horse in the pure electric car market. #威马汽车
