On April 25, the 2024 Beijing Auto Show kicked off after four years. The atmosphere of the exhibition was warm and popular, and each booth was crowded with people, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
For the Beijing Auto Show, new energy is definitely the biggest attraction. According to the data, a total of 278 new energy models were exhibited at this auto show, which is enough for us to see the hot market and the determination of major car companies for new energy transformation. In the face of so many models, it is inevitable that the guest officers will be dazzled and do not know how to choose for a while. But if you want to buy a 150,000-level joint venture pure electric SUV, it must be inseparable from Kia's new EV5.
"In China, for China" is tailor-made for Chinese consumers
I believe that at this time, many people have a question in their minds, there are many 150,000-level joint venture pure electric SUVs, why do I recommend EV5? In fact, the reason is very simple, compared with other joint venture brand models, EV5 is not only more powerful and sincere, but also better understands the Chinese people.
First of all, for the EV5, it is a special model launched by Kia to celebrate its 80th anniversary, which can be described as significant. Technically, it is based on Kia's world-leading E-GMP platform for electric vehicles, and as a technology-intensive innovation platform, the platform's PE system reduces the overall volume and weight, thereby reducing the loss of energy transfer between various components, while improving the maximum performance and efficiency, which is why the EV5 can become the only model in the pure electric market in its class with a range of more than 700km.
What's more worth mentioning is that as Kia's "in China, for China" concept under the masterpiece, EV5 is tailor-made for Chinese, by nearly 400 Chinese elite engineers to participate in research and development, at the beginning of the development and design of the full research and development of the needs of Chinese users, in Jiangsu Yancheng Industry 4.0 intelligent intelligent manufacturing unmanned factory production, in the world of China debut, is a blockbuster strategic model for global sale! We can see that for the EV5, it was designed for the Chinese market from the beginning, and it is obviously more in line with the needs of Chinese consumers.
There is no doubt that compared with other joint venture pure electric SUVs in China, the EV5 is the leading dedicated E-GMP platform or with the blessing of Kia's "In China, For China" philosophy, so that it can better meet the ever-changing needs of Chinese users, and it is deservedly the best choice for the 150,000-class pure electric SUV.
The entry is high-energy, bringing consumers a sense of value for money
Of course, for any car, product strength is the first factor that everyone considers when buying a car. For EV5, although the price is full of sincerity, it has not reduced the configuration of the product, and its hardware such as three electric and space is far better than that of high-priced models of the same level, which can be called entry and high energy.
Let's take the 530 Air model, which costs 159,800 yuan, as an example to see how strong it is. First of all, when it comes to pure electric SUVs, the first thing everyone pays attention to must be the battery life. In this regard, its battery capacity is 64.2kWh, and the CLTC range reaches 530km, which can basically guarantee that you will not need to recharge for half a month if you commute to and from work for 30 kilometers. As for the charging efficiency, it only takes 27 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, and it only takes a cup of coffee to replenish a lot of battery life, effectively reducing battery life anxiety. For comparison, the starting price of the Volkswagen ID.4X has reached 195,800 yuan, but its range in CLTC is only 425km, and it is clear who is higher and who is lower.
In addition, the EV5 has reached a maximum speed of 185km/h, and I also briefly checked it, such as the Buick E5 has a maximum speed of 180km/h and the BYD Song Plus has a maximum speed of 175km/h, and the EV5 still has a clear advantage. The reason why the EV5 can achieve this speed is most likely that the efficiency of the three-electric system is higher than that of the opponent, which is also a reflection of Kia's strength in electric drive technology. What's more worth mentioning is that it also supports a 5-level adjustable intelligent kinetic energy recovery system, which can automatically adjust the intelligent kinetic energy recovery system according to driving habits, especially in the i-Pedel one-pedal mode, which can achieve acceleration and deceleration by using a single pedal, which is fully in line with the current Chinese people's driving habits.
After talking about battery life, we will focus on space, after all, for a family SUV, space has become an important factor in whether everyone buys a car. In this regard, the length, width and height of the EV5 are 4615mm/1875mm/1715mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2750mm, which can fully meet everyone's daily needs for space. In addition, it also provides consumers with the largest 67L ultra-large capacity front trunk of 150,000 levels, and the trunk volume can be expanded to a maximum of 1718L, with a unique rear seat 0° flat folding, which can fully meet the travel storage space needs of the whole family.
In this era of intelligence, how can we not mention intelligent technology? In this regard, it has always been the strength of Chinese auto brands, and joint venture brands are slightly lagging behind in comparison. However, with the launch of EV5, it has achieved a comprehensive improvement in intelligent technology, such as its 27-inch integrated triple screen, which is a 12.3-inch colorful LCD instrument panel + 5-inch air conditioning touch screen + 12.3-inch multimedia touch screen, making the entire cockpit look full of science and technology, and even shows the strength of its own brand. In particular, the 5-inch air conditioning touch screen can display a wealth of air conditioning parameters, compared with other models in the same price range, this function is safer, more convenient and accurate to operate when driving, and the air conditioning can be operated without leaving the front to ensure driving safety.
Of course, when it comes to intelligence, how can you not mention intelligent security? In this regard, the EV5 530 Land version is equipped with a wealth of L2+ intelligent driving assistance functions, such as Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA), Remote Intelligent Parking Assist (RSPA 2), Parking Collision Avoidance Assist - Front/Rear/Side (PCA-F/R/S) and other cutting-edge functions, especially the emergence of the second-generation Remote Intelligent Parking Assist (RSPA 2), which supports remote control straight line summoning, which can realize remote parking outside the vehicle, intelligent parking in the car, parallel/vertical/diagonal automatic parking, Intelligent side-side exit (in-car control) and straight-line summoning (remote forward and backward) realize all-scene intelligent parking barrier-free, which can bring drivers a more relaxed and pleasant parking experience.
Combined with the actual scene, for female drivers or novices, parking has always been a headache for everyone, and the second-generation remote control intelligent parking assistance carried by EV5 has undoubtedly become their gospel, which is not only more convenient but also safer, and truly brings technology closer to life. In comparison, in the Buick E5 2023 Pioneer Edition model, which is relatively close in price, regardless of the 360-degree panoramic image, road traffic sign recognition, automatic parking, remote parking, steep hill descent and other safety technology configurations, it not only shows full sincerity but also makes it safer for everyone to travel, which is undoubtedly more favored by consumers.
Not only that, it is the leading in the same class in terms of car machine, it has built-in the latest generation of ccNC intelligent interconnected entertainment system, not only for localization optimization, but also with Baidu, Tencent and other Internet manufacturers for in-depth cooperation, providing dozens of apps such as on-board WeChat and F-OTA remote vehicle upgrade and other functions, which is the best embodiment of its sinicization, and can better meet the favor of domestic consumers. In comparison, although Buick E5, Volkswagen ID.4X and other models have also been upgraded in terms of intelligence, there are still some gaps compared to EV5, such as not supporting voice partition recognition. As for the technological configuration, such as the keyless entry of the whole car and the emergence of the electric tailgate, it is "far ahead" in the same class, which is more sincere.
Finally, in terms of safety, the EV5 is the only front-seat mid-mounted airbag in the standard 150,000 class, with a maximum of 7 airbags, and the car seat is equipped with three airbags and a four-way adjustable headrest to maximize passenger safety. At the same time, the multi-skeleton structure is adopted, and the proportion of high-strength steel reaches 73.6%. In comparison, both Buick E5 and BYD Song Plus are only equipped with 6 airbags, which is obviously better in terms of safety.
In general, although there are many 150,000-level joint venture pure electric SUV models, there are very few models that can really start from the needs of consumers and meet consumers, and it is obvious that the EV5 is one of them. In addition, it also has financial rights and interests of 3 years with 0 down payment and 0 interest rate, with a financial discount of up to 23,000 yuan, as well as an 8-year or 150,000 km warranty for Sandian, a 5-year or 100,000 km warranty for the whole vehicle, a 7,000 yuan replacement subsidy, 5 years of free unlimited full data traffic, 5 years and 5 times of free basic maintenance materials, and the old car owner will receive a 2-year compulsory traffic insurance or a 2-year charging card for car purchases, and an additional 5,000 yuan cash subsidy or a 5,000 yuan worth of "Yuexianggou" mini-program consumption coupons from Yueda Group. The comprehensive discount for car purchase can reach up to 40,000 yuan! It also shows Kia's full sincerity to consumers. There is no doubt that the EV5 with strength and sincerity will definitely be the best choice for the 150,000-class pure electric SUV.
