In the past one or two years, the continuous involution of domestic new energy vehicles has further reduced the purchase threshold of many high-end models, especially the extended-range electric vehicles, which are simpler in structure and more suitable for new energy vehicle types for most users, so that the cost and price of vehicles are lower. Therefore, on this basis, there are many extended-range electric SUVs with a size of 5 meters, which have pushed the price to less than 200,000 yuan, and compared with the medium and large SUVs of joint venture brands with higher prices, the overall product power level is higher, such as the Star Era ET Extended Range Edition.
Epoch ET has launched an extended-range version and a pure electric version at the same time, with the extended-range version priced at 189,800-225,800 yuan, and the pure electric model priced at 229,800-319,800 yuan! Today, we mainly introduce the extended range version of the model, because when this model opened pre-sale in May, the pre-sale order exceeded 26,000 in 3 days, of which the core order is the extended range version of the model, because the price of the extended range version of the model is much cheaper than the pure electric model, and the overall cost performance is still relatively high.
With a length of 4955mm and a wheelbase of 3000mm, the Epoch ET Extended Range is a relatively large SUV model. From the appearance point of view, the design of this car follows the mainstream design ideas of the current new energy SUV, using a closed front face design, the small grille below adopts an active closed type, and at the same time adopts a segmented through daytime running lights, the headlight group shape is also more recognizable, plus the side shape is heavy, calm, so this car still looks very atmospheric.
In terms of interior, the design of the Star Era ET extended range version is still very simple, and the car is designed with a relatively far suspended LCD instrument panel, which seems to be the position of the steering wheel is relatively low, and at the same time introduces a 15.6-inch 2.5K central control screen, the size of the screen and the display performance are quite good. Moreover, this car adopts a pocket block design, the armrest box is made into a "peninsula" design, and the position of the cup holder and the wireless charging pad for the mobile phone is well arranged, which is very convenient to use.
The Epoch ET range extender version is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged range extender + rear motor + 32 degree power battery power system, with a maximum motor horsepower of 265Ps, a CLTC pure electric range of 200 kilometers, a WLTC pure electric range of 161 kilometers, and an acceleration time of 7.8 seconds per 100 kilometers. For most of the friends, most of the mileage is on the way to and from work, so the pure electric mileage of 200 kilometers can basically meet the pure electric driving of the vast majority of users' daily commuting, Xiaobian as the owner of a 5.1-meter extended-range electric vehicle, driving in urban areas almost without fuel, a kilometer costs only more than 1 cent, this car can also achieve such commuting costs.
The fuel consumption of this car given by the manufacturer is 5.2L, and it only needs to be filled with No. 92 gasoline, so according to the current oil price, even if it is used for long-distance driving, the fuel cost per kilometer is about 4 cents, and the overall cost is still relatively low.
The Epoch ET is equipped with a front double wishbone rear five-link independent suspension, and the 225,800 yuan top model is also equipped with air suspension, with soft and hard suspension height adjustment. On the whole, this 2.1-ton medium and large SUV model, the overall handling performance and comfort performance are good, especially the comfort performance, in the 3-meter wheelbase, and the suspension with good shock absorption performance, the ride comfort is still quite in place.
In terms of configuration, the extended-range version of the model is equipped with L2 level driving assistance, and the mid-to-high-end models also have automatic parking, remote parking, memory parking, automatic lane change assistance, automatic lane change on ramps, and high-speed navigation assisted driving. At the same time, the extended range version of the model is equipped with frameless doors, electric tailgate, Bluetooth key/NFC key, adaptive high and low beam headlights, panoramic sunroof, multi-layer soundproof glass, facial recognition, mobile phone APP remote control, car KTV, 50W mobile phone wireless charging pad, 256 color atmosphere lights and other functions and configurations, the overall configuration level is very high.
Therefore, in fact, in terms of overall product power, the product power performance of the Star Era ET extended range version can be said to be very positive at the 200,000 level, whether it is size, mileage, fuel consumption, or configuration level, or even the level of intelligent driving assistance, the performance is in place, there may be no shortcomings except for the absence of dual-motor four-wheel drive, but the price is also there. Compared with the Highlander and other fuel vehicles of the same size, the advantages of this car are almost comprehensive, which is beyond doubt.
