As a model produced by the Autoneng intelligent electric platform, the Buick E4 has a place in the pure electric SUV market in the range of 15-200,000 with its dynamic styling design, excellent cruising range, convenient intelligent driving experience and reliable three-electric technology. The high-profile Hiace 07 EV will also enter this segment after its launch, so can the Buick E4 withstand the challenge of the menacing Hiace 07 EV? Who will win the battle between the strong and the strong?
Cockpit competition The production of joint venture manufacturers is more guaranteed
Nowadays, the car cockpit has become a third living space in addition to the home and work space, and the comfort, entertainment and intelligent performance of the cockpit are all key factors for consumers. Buick E4 uses a large number of environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving technologies in the car, and creates a luxurious and comfortable driving environment through exquisite manufacturing technology, which is a quality that is difficult for many independent car companies to achieve.
The Buick E4 is 4818mm long and has a wheelbase of 2954mm, and its superior body size brings a spacious ride. Buick's wide-body ergonomic seat based on strict standards achieves moderate softness and hardness, excellent support and wrapping, and can fit the human body well and effectively reduce fatigue on long-distance rides. The front seats of Buick E4 support heating and ventilation functions, which are warm and comfortable in winter and not easy to be stuffy in summer, with 121-color music rhythm atmosphere lights, 1.2㎡ large panoramic dome canopy and Buick library-level silent technology, bringing a warm and comfortable driving experience.
The Hiace 07 EV is more than 4.8 meters long, with a wheelbase of 2,930 mm smaller than the Buick E4, and the rear seat space is not as abundant as the Buick E4. It is equipped with an integrated sports seat, and the seat design is relatively soft, but the headrest cannot be adjusted individually, which will reduce the riding experience for petite women. Configurations that improve the quality of the cabin, such as seat ventilation and heating, panoramic sunroof, and interior ambient lighting, are also not absent.
BUICK E4 IS EQUIPPED WITH A NEW GENERATION OF VCS INTELLIGENT COCKPIT, STANDARD EYEMAX 30-INCH CURVED 6K SCREEN, BUILT-IN QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 8155 CHIP, THE SMOOTHNESS AND RESPONSE SPEED OF THE CAR MACHINE ARE EXCELLENT. It supports dual-tone voice recognition, and can continuously complete 10 car and machine commands within 25 seconds, such as "navigation to home", "air conditioning setting 23 degrees", "play music" and other instructions at one time to avoid frequent operation. A variety of car machine applications have been added, including Migu Quick Tour, Migu Video, Kugou Music, QQ Music, etc., which can be used to play games, watch movies, and listen to songs in the car, adding to the fun of driving life.
The Buick E4 is equipped with the eCruise intelligent driving assistance system as standard, which provides a number of driving assistance functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist, lane departure warning, active safety, front and rear collision warning, and reversing side warning. The top-of-the-line model can be equipped with the SUPER CRUISE super driver assistance system, which will bring a more comfortable and secure driving experience.
The Hiace 07 EV is equipped with the DiLink 100 intelligent cockpit, equipped with an embedded full LCD instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating large screen, which is fully equipped with functions such as voice recognition, intelligent online navigation, app store, OTA upgrade, and mobile APP remote control. All models are equipped with L2 driver assistance systems as standard, and high-end models are equipped with DiPilot 100 high-end intelligent driving system. In terms of intelligence, both cars show the level that this level should have, but the E4 hardware level is higher, and the screen size and car machine chip are ahead.
Three-electric technology competition The performance of the two cars is equal
The Buick E4 is built on the industry-leading Autoneng intelligent electric platform, with advanced motor system and battery technology. Buick E4 provides two types of power: single motor and dual motor four-wheel drive, of which the maximum power of a single motor is 180kW, the maximum torque is 330N·m, matched with a 65kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, and the CLTC pure electric range is 530km, which is enough to meet the needs of urban commuting and short-distance travel. The total power of the dual motors is 211kW, the total torque is 465N·m, matched with a 79.7kWh ternary lithium battery pack, and the CLTC pure electric range is 620km, which not only maintains high performance, but also alleviates the user's range anxiety. Thanks to Buick's deep accumulation in battery technology and energy management, the Buick E4 solves the anxiety of performance degradation and battery safety.
Based on BYD's e-platform 3.0, the Hiace 07 EV is also available in single-motor and dual-motor four-drive power trains, available in 170kW and 230kW single-motor versions, mated to a 71.8kWh or 80.6kWh battery pack, with a range of 550km and 610km. The twin motors have a total output of 390 kW and are mated to an 80.6 kWh battery pack for a range of 550 km. The Hiace 07 EV uses a self-developed lithium iron phosphate blade battery pack, which is also very guaranteed in terms of performance and safety.
The Hiace 07 EV from BYD is a model with its own flow, and the self-developed three-electric technology is worthy of recognition, but there are still some gaps between it and the Buick E4 from the joint venture factory in terms of manufacturing process, ride space, and comfort performance. The starting price of Buick E4 is less than 160,000, but the standard configuration has given EYEMAX 30-inch curved 6K screen, eCruise intelligent assisted driving system, panoramic canopy and many other high-end configurations, coupled with the advantages of excellent driving performance, worry-free mileage and long-life battery given by the Autoneng intelligent electric platform, so that it has the strength and confidence to face the challenge of any latecomer.
