On May 9, 2024, the Epoch ET was officially launched, and the price was announced immediately, ranging from 189,800 yuan to 319,800 yuan.
There is nothing to comment on in terms of appearance and appearance, after all, this depends on personal preference, so focus on the configuration!
It is believed that the main sales model of the Star Era ET should be the extended range version, the first is lower in price, the second is no range anxiety, and third, the manufacturer is also testing the extended range version when testing.
以星纪元 ET 2024款 增程版 Pro+和理想L6 PRO版本对比情况为例
Body size and power
The difference in body length between the Star Era ET and the ideal L6 is 3cm, which is basically ignored in the actual experience, and in terms of power, the ideal L6 can be said to win. The ideal L6 accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.4s, while the Star Era ET takes 7.8s.
In addition, the ideal L6 adopts electric four-wheel drive, while the Star Era ET is front-rear-wheel drive, and the difference between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive configuration is generally more than 10,000.
Security configuration
The active safety configuration of the two cars is basically full, but the ideal L6 has two rear side airbags more than the Star Era ET.
Epoch ET claims to adopt as many as 22 active safety functions, the development and verification of global five-star safety standards will only be in 2023, the vehicle crash test will exceed 500 times, and the high-strength steel and aluminum of the cage capsule 2.0 high-performance body will be used as much as 88%, but Epoch ET has not announced the test results.
The ideal L6 also adopts a cage structure, and the G+G+G+ level of the China Insurance Research Institute.
I believe that the security of both is trustworthy!
Battery and range
Both cars are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, and the Epoch ET is equipped with a 32-degree battery, with a CLTC pure electric range of 200km; The ideal L6 is equipped with a 36.8 degree battery, and the CLTC pure electric range is 212km.
However, the weight of the Epoch ET is 2180kg, so the power consumption per 100 kilometers is 17.3kWh, and the weight of the ideal L6 is 2330kg, so the power consumption per 100 kilometers is 21.1kWh.
On the whole, the Star Era ET car is lighter and more energy-efficient, and the ideal L6 car is heavy and power-intensive, but the battery capacity is large, and the CLTC endurance performance is better!
In terms of battery and range, I personally think it is an ideal small victory!
Fuel efficiency
The engine parameters of the two cars are basically the same, all are 1.5T engines, and the power parameters are basically the same. However, the Epoch ET only needs to add 9.2 gasoline, and the WLTC has lower fuel consumption;
Undoubtedly, in terms of fuel efficiency, the Star Era ET is superior!
Driving comfort
Interior configuration, the two cars have wins and losses against each other, Star Era ET has track reversing, memory parking, air suspension, ; The Ideal L6 has electric steering wheel adjustment, head-up display (HUD), Nappa leather, and anti-glare functions for interior and exterior mirrors.
Personally, I think that these features are the highlights of the vehicle, and in terms of comfortable driving, the air suspension may be more practical!
Vehicle intelligence
In terms of vehicle intelligence, the Star Era ET is almost completely defeated
The ideal L6 has a sentinel function, and the assisted driving chip is Horizon Journey 5, with a computing power of 128TOPS, and basic intelligent assisted driving functions; The Star Era ET is equipped with two Horizon Journey 3*2, and the basic computing power of a single one is only 5TOPS, which can only achieve L2 level assisted driving.
The host chip, the ideal L6 is Qualcomm 8295P, and the Star Era ET car machine chip is 8155, a difference of one era.
Based on the comparison of all parties, the ideal L6 has an advantage in the car machine, four drive forces, battery and battery life, and the Star Era ET has low fuel consumption and air suspension, and the gap of 20,000 yuan is still very large.
For the launch of the Star Era ET, Chery has done enough to pave the way, first of all, a 31.9-meter drop test. The purpose of this test is not to test the vehicle's fall resistance in reality, but to test the impact resistance. In reality, it is difficult for a car to fall, and the Star Era ET has a remarkable performance in hitting heavy objects or buildings at a speed close to 90KM per hour, but because of the lack of reference tests for other cars, the reference is not very high.
If you pay more attention to the car engine and power, then the ideal L6 is the first choice, and if you value the price, you can start with the Star Era ET.
