As the first pure electric model of the Q brand, EV released the official map on July 25 this year, and opened the reservation on the 27th of the month. The previous listing in September was also as scheduled! On September 6, EV was officially listed, and two models were launched, priced at 288,600 yuan and 319,800 yuan respectively.
Let’s talk about the configuration of the two cars first. The two cars are the rear-drive standard version and the four-wheel drive performance version respectively. In addition to the power system, battery life and wheel rim size, other aspects are consistent, so it is not difficult for the target user to make a choice. As for the dynamic performance of the EV, how much is the difference in power between the two versions, please follow the professor’s perspective into this test drive content!
Previously, the vehicles launched by the world were all extended-range power and still had internal combustion engines. This time, the EV adopted a pure electric power system, becoming a more "pure" new energy model, and its "Huawei content" was also higher than before. Many Huawei technology blessings made it more like a technology product. As a pure electric model, the overall design of the EV presents a very simple style. The front of the car adopts a closed design, which is officially called a shark nose shape. Compared with other models of the brand, the identity of the pure electric car is very recognizable.
The overall profile of the side is basically the same, the side lines are very smooth, and the overall attitude is relatively low. The body size is basically the same as the extended range version, with a length, width and height of 4785 × 1930 × 1620mm respectively, and the wheelbase of 2880mm has not changed, but the EV version is slightly longer and slightly lower. It is said that this setting also optimizes its wind resistance coefficient.
The biggest difference is that the EV adopts an exclusive rim shape. The picture above is the rear-drive standard version model. Its rim size is 19 inches, and the tire specification is 255/50 R19. The original factory is equipped with P ZERO series tires. If it is a four-wheel drive performance version, the original factory will be equipped with 20-inch rims, and the visual effect will be further improved.
The tail adopts a through-type taillight design, and the above is equipped with a spoiler, which creates a good overall texture.
Let’s talk about the power configuration first. The rear-drive standard version is equipped with a permanent magnet/synchronous power motor located on the rear axle, with a maximum power of 200kW and a total torque of 360N · m. The official 100-kilometer acceleration score is 7.1s. The four-wheel drive performance version uses the formula of front AC/asynchronous + rear permanent magnet/synchronous, with a total system power of 365kW and a total torque of 675N · m. The official 100-kilometer acceleration score is 4.5s.
In terms of battery packs, the EV is equipped with an 80kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. Due to the different motor configurations, the rear-drive standard version has a longer battery life. The battery life under CLTC conditions is 620km, and the four-wheel drive performance version has a range of 552km under CLTC conditions. Only from the battery life data under CLTC conditions, the EV performance is relatively excellent.
The suspension specification is a high-specification combination of front and rear arms and multiple links. When I first knew that the test drive location was a professional track, I thought that the EV would be a sporty car, but after the actual experience, it was not the case. The overall style of the EV suspension has a clear comfort orientation, and the shock absorber has good vibration filtering, so that there is not much feeling transmitted to the body when pressed on the shoulder at high speed.
Of course, the lack of sporty style does not mean that the control is not good. Since the event party chose the track venue, it is also because this EV has enough highlights to show in the track. First of all, the front and rear weight of the body, it has 50:50 front and rear, so in most cases its front and rear axle loads are relatively balanced, giving the driver a friendly feeling. It does not require too much delicate operation, and it can maintain a very stable state in the corners, even in the rear drive version, it is also very stable.
Secondly, this EV also has a "magic weapon", that is, it is equipped with the HUAWEI DATS system (Dynamic Adaptive Torque System) for the first time, also known as the dynamic adaptive torque system. At yesterday’s press conference, Yu Chengdong said that the world has mastered this technology with Huawei. Simply put, this technology can automatically distribute wheel torque and enhance stability on the road. Does it sound new? The key is that this system is very fast. Generally, the response speed of new energy vehicles distributing torque is about 100ms, and this DATS system is said to be able to complete adjustment within 4ms.
?
The advantage is that the curves are more stable, and in the face of road conditions such as bumps, potholes, and ground adhesion, the torque distribution can be quickly adjusted to enhance driving stability.
As a pure electric model, the most formidable opponent in the track is "self-weight". The standard version of the EV rear drive has a curb weight of 2235kg, and the four-wheel drive performance version is 2350kg. Under normal driving conditions, you don’t feel that the EV is like a two-ton car at all. Whether it is steering or suspension, it is very brisk, but if you really want to push the limit in the track, you can still feel that the large load transfer puts a certain pressure on the tires.
The steering feel and the adjustment of the brake pedal can also feel that it has made a lot of optimization for urban road conditions. Although there is less feedback on the track, in daily driving, this kind of gentle and high-quality performance is definitely a better choice. The flexibility of the body and the NVH performance are great. In terms of the overall style, the EV’s comfort and high-end performance are relatively outstanding, and the comfort is much better than that of many pure electric competitors of the same level or price.
?
In fact, in the professor’s personal opinion, the rear-drive standard version is actually enough, with more battery life, and the acceleration ability is already very abundant, especially since it is pure electric, the torque response is fast, and the acceleration experience is definitely better than the traditional fuel car of the same level. As for the four-wheel drive performance version, the 4.5s acceleration is of course very good, but the tonality or style of the EV car will not make people drive under the accelerator pedal.
The key point of the car was naturally the smart cockpit. Previously, the professor had experienced the charm of this system many times. The UI interface, fluency, processing speed, loading speed, interaction logic, including the display effect in various scenarios, can be said to be the "ceiling" of the car system of the same price.
The EV will be the first pure electric model in the family to be equipped with HarmonyOS 3, and the system will not only optimize the details, but also bring some new functions. However, the model tested this time did not actually carry HarmonyOS 3, but the professor was allowed to "preview" some highlights of the new system in advance. The "complete" of HarmonyOS 3 will take some time after it is launched.
For example, HarmonyOS 3 will be added to the super desktop, this with Huawei mobile phone, the experience is still very good, carry the mobile phone on the car can be seamlessly switched, HarmonyOS mobile phone end point application can seamlessly get on the car, to achieve the car machine interface parallel vision horizontal screen window layout display, the automotive industry has been talking about opening up the mobile end and the car end of the ecological talk for many years, to now experience this set of super desktop, the professor believes that this can be regarded as open…
Of course, not only the mobile phone terminal, but also some other smart devices from Huawei. The professor found cards, remote control keys, mechanical keys, mobile phones, and smart watches from the car on the spot, which can be used to unlock the vehicle. I don’t know how users with difficulty in choosing will choose. In addition, a new sharing network function has been added.
The brand’s "care" for the mobile phone can be said to be meticulous. In addition to the various integration and interconnection of the system and ecology, every model of the Wenjie brand is equipped with high-power wireless charging and fast charging interfaces.
In the car, there are in-car cameras and facial recognition modules. In addition to providing functions such as driver status detection, in-car video recording, and facial recognition, the EV has an industry-first HUD highly adaptive adjustment function that allows the driver to recognize the human eye position when entering the vehicle, thus automatically adjusting the HUD position.
Finally, let’s talk about security. With the digital transformation of automobiles, automobile safety now has a broader dimension. In addition to the body structure and active/passive safety configuration, information security is also becoming more and more important. In this regard, the EV not only provides users with the permission to turn off sensitive information such as the camera, microphone, and location with one click inside the system, but also carefully prepares physical switches for the cameras in the car, which is very worthy of praise.
After this test drive experience, the EV product force is quite good, the driving texture and comfort are excellent, the sense of grade in the car is also very good, and the performance of the car system is an absolute advantage. Combined with the price of 288,600 yuan – 319,800 yuan, the competitiveness is indeed very strong.
