Although it is often said that pure electric vehicles do not eat gas and save money, at the moment of rising prices, many car consumers who are keen on budgeting are also more sensitive to the energy consumption of pure electric vehicles, especially when purchasing medium and large electric SUVs with larger weight. Today, the author will compare the two popular pure electric SUVs on the market, Buick E5 and Song PLUS EV, to see which car performs better in terms of energy consumption and efficiency.
Autohome's energy consumption is overmeasured, and Buick E5 has the lowest power consumption
As a real and objective ace program, Autohome Super Test has a high reputation and professionalism in the industry. In the latest episode of the new energy vehicle energy consumption overtest program, the energy consumption test results of the Buick E5 were announced.
Among them, in the Beijing winter test from -10°C to 5°C, the average power consumption data of 16.28kWh/100km was obtained, and the test under the temperature conditions of 0°C to 15°C, which is more in line with the vast majority of people's car scenarios, the Buick E5 Pure Edition obtained an even better average power consumption data of 14.17kWh/100km.
Taken together, in the -10°C to 15°C dual temperature zone, Buick E5 got an average score of 15.2kWh/100km in the autohome energy consumption supertest, and this result was achieved under the premise of ultra-low temperature and air conditioning setting to 23°C, through comparison with Tesla Model Y, Zeekr X, NIO ES6 and other test models, Buick E5 became the model with the lowest power consumption data of 100,000 kilometers in the test of more than 100,000 pure electric SUVs.
Let's take a look at the Song PLUS EV Glory Edition, at present, this model has two battery versions, the volume model is 71.8 kWh, and the official power consumption per 100 kilometers is 13.7kWh, while the battery capacity of the high-end model is 87.04 kWh, and the official power consumption per 100 kilometers has reached 14.1kWh.
Judging from the actual measurement of the media and the level of the owner's car, the average power consumption of the cruising 520km version of the model in spring and autumn is between 14kWh ~ 15kWh, and the winter range will go to about 17kWh, which is basically consistent with the data of 15.8kWh of comprehensive 100km power consumption measured by Yiche, which is higher than the official 13.7kWh data of 100km power consumption, and is much higher than the 14.17kWh of 100km run by Buick E5 under the condition of 0~15°C.
Although the Buick E5 and the Song PLUS EV are not compared in the same program, we can also see that the performance of the Buick E5 in terms of energy consumption is obviously better based on the data of the two models.
Buick E5 ultra-low energy consumption, Autoneng platform contributes to it
The reason why Buick E5 can achieve stable and energy-saving power consumption performance is due to SAIC-GM Black Technology: Autoneng Intelligent Electric Platform. It is precisely because it is equipped with the Autoneng intelligent electric platform, Buick E5 has excellent performance in terms of battery safety and performance.
Buick E5 is equipped with the self-developed motor of Autoneng, with innovative technologies such as flat wire technology, self-adhesive core technology and oil-cooled design, which not only improves energy consumption, but also provides excellent power output performance.
In addition to the high-efficiency motor, the Buick E5 also has the BEV Heat dual heat source thermal management system, in which the air source heat pump and the water source heat pump work together, using the three major heating systems of air conditioning, battery and electric drive to carry out integrated thermal management of the whole vehicle, making the heat pump work more efficient.
From a technical point of view, it may be a little boring, but consumers who have been in contact with new energy vehicles for a long time must know that the energy consumption level of a model mainly depends on the endurance of autumn and winter, and the winter endurance of many new energy vehicles will be greatly weakened, resulting in soaring energy consumption.
From this point of view, the Buick E5's BEV Heat dual-source thermal management system integrates heat pump air conditioning technology, which improves the vehicle's winter endurance performance, while the self-developed and efficient Autoneng three-electric system allows the Buick E5 to achieve lower power consumption performance in the daily car environment. There is feedback from real car owners, in the current spring temperature range of 15~25 °C and without turning on the air conditioner, Buick E5 copes with daily commuting, the minimum power consumption reaches about 10kWh/100km, compared with the Song Plus EV minimum 15.8kWh/100km data, which is equivalent to running 100 kilometers can save about 5 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and in the long run, it is enough to add a few chicken legs to yourself.
Super cost-effective, Buick E5 is a real choice
As a medium and large joint venture pure electric SUV, Buick E5 provides consumers with a cost-effective choice with its excellent configuration and affordable price. In terms of configuration, the Buick E5 shows meticulous considerations. In the cabin, the use of multi-layer soundproof glass in the front row significantly improves the NVH performance and creates a quieter driving environment for passengers. At the same time, the rear suspension of the vehicle adopts an independent five-link design, which ensures stability and comfort during driving, which is rare in the same price range.
In terms of intelligent driving and safety, the Buick E5 configuration is also excellent. It is equipped with advanced features such as head airbags, reversing sensors and imaging systems, and an electrically heated leather steering wheel to enhance driving convenience and safety. What's more worth mentioning is that high-tech configurations such as keyless entry, intelligent driving assistance and VCS intelligent cockpit can bring consumers an excellent experience. In particular, the intelligent driving assistance system can provide effective assistance in daily driving, reduce the driver's fatigue and enhance driving safety.
In addition, the Buick E5 central control system is also quite highlighted. The car is equipped with a 30-inch OLED 6K central control screen, equipped with Qualcomm 8155 chip and 5G network, which not only has excellent display effect, but also extremely smooth operation. Such a configuration is rare in the same price range, which fully demonstrates the high cost performance of Buick E5 in configuration.
Overall, the Buick E5 does offer consumers a cost-effective option. Whether it is a quiet driving environment or an intelligent driving assistance system, it reflects Buick's deep understanding and meticulous satisfaction of consumer needs.
Write at the end:
To sum up, the Buick E5 shows significant advantages in terms of energy consumption and cost performance. Compared with the Song PLUS EV, the Buick E5 consumes less energy and is more worth buying, thanks to its advanced Autonen pure electric platform and efficient thermal management system. At the same time, Buick E5 also provides consumers with a cost-effective choice with its excellent configuration and affordable price. Therefore, if you are looking for a medium and large joint venture pure electric SUV with low energy consumption and high cost performance, you may wish to go to the store to test drive the Buick E5 and experience this excellent pure electric SUV for yourself.
