The "hexagon" of cellular network seems to have become the feature of high-end luxury cars nowadays. WEY of 202 1? VV7 is no exception. The overall front face shape is the same as the old one. It uses a hexagonal air intake grille with a honeycomb mesh. Officially named "Crystal Diamond Bright Net". The exaggeration of its name does not affect the success of the design. Although it is not the first model of this style, it can still give people a bright feeling in traffic.
The chrome-plated air intake grille is painted with matte silver, which is more textured than ordinary chrome-plated painting and more luxurious than bright black painting. Now it seems that this design does not emphasize how powerful it is, but more can give people a "romantic" mood.
The change of the front bumper depends on the comparison with the 19 model. The outline of fog lamp area has been changed from arc to right angle, which can better highlight the movement tonality of the whole vehicle. Protruding front lips are added on both sides, echoing the luxury air intake grille above, and a balanced fulcrum is found in luxury and sports. The lighting part adopts matrix headlights, and the far and near lights are LED light sources. At the same time, it is equipped with automatic headlights, adaptive far and near lights, steering auxiliary lights and other functions.
The side design is the same as the old one. The overall design is long at the front and short at the back. The length, width and height of the new models are 4760 *1931*1655 mm, and the wheelbase is still 2950 mm The wheelbase close to 3 meters can provide excellent rear space for the vehicle, and the side of the vehicle adopts a smooth suspended roof design. In addition, it has a GT version, and having two product choices is not a small boon for young consumers.
After testing many models, I actually summed up the relationship between the wheel hub and the sense of movement. Extreme spokes (Porsche Bird's Nest hub) and extreme spokes (AMG five-star hub) can increase the sportiness of modeling! Obviously, the new WEY? VV7 chooses the former, 15 aluminum alloy design, and the inner wall is frosted with black coating, which emphasizes the sense of movement. Tire 235/55? R20 Michelin Hao Yue SUV series tires, which are high-end comfort tires and combine many unique Michelin technologies, can provide excellent mute and shock absorption effects.
The side of the car body is very similar to an English-style sports SUV, and the tonality of luxury brands is full. The window frame of the whole vehicle is painted in bright black, the privacy glass in the rear row is standard, and the waistline design on the side of the car body rises, showing a posture ready to go. For the future WEY? VV7 car side improvement can actually start from the handlebar. If a set of hidden handlebars can be designed, the value and sense of technology will be stronger.
Of course, the most attractive thing about the rear design is bilateral exhaust. Before that, I was actually contemptuous of this kind of equipment. Is this really a "selling point"? Now it seems: it smells good! WEY？ VV7 should be the first batch of independent brands with bilateral four-out design. According to the previous interesting survey, China people's cognition of the number of exhaust pipes directly affects their cognition of car prices. WEY？ VV7 always seems to tell passers-by that I am an "expensive" guy.
Compared with the 19 model, the rear bumper is completely designed. The new square concealed exhaust is more integrated than the old round exhaust. The middle part of the exhaust is equipped with a lower spoiler, which optimizes the air diversion and high-speed downforce of the chassis to a certain extent, generally for aesthetics. In addition, the vertically placed reflector is also different from the 19 model. ? The taillight style is very dynamic, and a blackened color can be added later.
There is no difference between the interior and the old model, and the overall shape is layered. In order to emphasize that the center console design of sports vehicles is biased towards drivers, which is different from the simple beauty of VV5 and VV6. This set of interior can better reflect the sense of luxury, similar to the interior of the same independent luxury brand, reflecting a cool interior atmosphere in northern Europe.
Although the visual effect is good, I can give high marks to the interior of the set. The material selection and layout of the interior are very elegant. Needless to say, the middle floor of the center console is decorated with textured wood grain. Except that the glove box on the lower floor is made of plastic, there are leather and plastic lining materials everywhere, which conforms to the car-making technology of luxury brands.
Compared with the 19 model, the central control panel is upgraded to 12.3 inches, which supports touch control and emphasizes the sense of technology and the clarity of display. The function of the car is the advantage of the independent brand, and the sense of human-computer interaction is the disadvantage. Not bad, new WEY? VV7 didn't let me down in human-computer interaction. The UI of the car is optimized, which is very convenient to operate. The click accuracy and opening speed of the program can reach the level of luxury brands. The entertainment system is equipped with some convenient functions, such as voice recognition, opening the skylight, air conditioning, listening to songs and so on. , and provide 4G car networking to listen to QQ music and radio online. In addition, the suppression of reflection by this central control panel also needs to be improved.
The center console still retains more physical buttons, and the buttons around the air conditioning panel and the gear handle are clear at a glance, which is beneficial to the driver's blind operation and improves driving safety. This technology edition comes standard with a streaming rearview mirror, which has good clarity and brightness and high vehicle configuration. It is equipped with full-speed adaptive cruise system, 360 panoramic image, panoramic sunroof, lane keeping and active braking. Ecological cockpit cleaning control system is also the main feature of this model, which can effectively purify air quality and provide customers with a good driving environment.
WEY？ VV7 Technology Edition comes standard with a leather multifunction steering wheel. The steering wheel is designed with three flat bottoms, and the lower part is perforated. Like most models, the steering wheel buttons support voice control, multimedia switching and fast operation of the cruise system. A-pillar is equipped with a camera with face recognition function. When the system detects that the driver is distracted during driving, it will remind the driver to drive safely through the prompt sound, which improves the safety performance.
The advantage of LCD dashboard is that it can display more driving information. This WEY? VV7 is equipped with 12.3 inch LCD instrument, which embodies a certain sense of science and technology. The multi-function steering wheel can also adjust and switch various function submenus accurately and reasonably. The font size and screen resolution are good, and the display is very clear.
WEY？ The front seat of VV7 supports multi-directional electric adjustment, and is equipped with lumbar support adjustment and seat memory function. Seat heating is also standard. Although the shape does not adopt a semi-barrel design, it has a good sense of support, and the padding in the cushion is soft, which can effectively support both strenuous driving and daily riding. On the whole, it is a pair of comfortable front seats.
The promotion of the rear row is the feature of this technology version, thanks to the wheelbase close to 3 meters, WEY? The back row of VV7 really didn't disappoint, and there was definitely enough legroom. After the sitting posture in the front row is adjusted, there is leg space close to 3 punches in the back row. Jiro's leg and Ge You's paralysis are nothing. There is an air conditioning outlet in front of the seat that can adjust the air volume and angle, and there are two USB ports under the outlet for the convenience of passengers.
The rear seats have also been upgraded, which is officially called "intelligent control of rear luxury aviation seats". The lengthening of the seat cushion not only effectively supports the thighs of the rear passengers, but also perfectly fits the body when the backrest is pressed down. When the vehicle turns, the seat can provide strong lateral support. The leather of the seat is wrapped in NAPPA high-grade leather, and the comfort and feel are quite delicate. Sitting in the back row like this, listening to the carefully tuned Infinity hi-fi sound system is enough to make passengers relaxed and happy.
Open WEY? VV7 Technology Edition's rear central armrest can be pleasantly seen. It is equipped with a set of rear control system, which can quickly operate multimedia, lighting, skylight and seat massage, ventilation and heating through this screen. The back waist can also be supported and adjusted from multiple angles through this system. I have to say, this may be the biggest highlight of this technology edition.
WEY？ The trunk space of VV7 is normally 306L, and a storage tank with a net bag and a pair of hooks is planned inside. Sliding tail and high opening have certain influence on space. Due to the high opening of the trunk, it may be difficult for women to carry heavy luggage. The rear seat supports 4/6 ratio reclining, and the volume can be expanded to 1 164L after reclining, which is convenient for pulling some large objects. There is a non-full-size spare tire and some on-board tools under the trunk lid.
New WEY? The engine of VV7 is the same as the old one. 2.0T turbocharged engine is adopted, with maximum output power 167Kw/5500rpm and peak torque of 387 Nm/1800-3600rpm. Engine technology is relatively mature, and it is applied to many WEY products, which is very reliable for engines. A large number of engine room guards are used in the engine room, and the materials given by the government are high-performance sound insulation and absorption materials, which effectively block the transmission of noise to the cab.
The gearbox is still a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, but it would be a big mistake to think that the powertrain has not changed. According to WEY engineers, they have specially optimized the shift logic on the new model, including daily driving smoothness, downshifting speed and fuel economy.
On WEY? In the urban road test drive of VV7, first of all, in the output stage of the engine, you can't feel the changes with the old models. After all, the engine is the same as the old one, but the new WEY? VV7 can obviously feel the optimization of shift logic. It seems that the designer's words are not groundless. During overtaking, the 7-speed wet dual clutch can quickly downshift by stepping on the accelerator moderately, and immediately adjust the power of this 2.0T engine. The action is very simple.
The optimization of gearbox does not depend on the downshift speed. On the commuter road that is blocked, this car has reduced the inherent frustration characteristics of dual clutch to a minimum in starting control. When the old models were tested, the clutch combination speed was very fast in the initial stage, and now it is even faster after optimization. What is commendable is that independent brands can do this without the inherent "sticky" feeling of dual clutch. ? In addition, the adjustment of the suspended throttle allows the driver to control the throttle opening without being abrupt, and the throttle ratio is basically the same as that of the organ type. This adjustment makes the car very labor-saving when following the car and crawling at low speed.
In addition, turning, the comfortable mode turning at the beginning is actually very light for me. After I turn on the sports mode, I decisively adjust the steering wheel damping to sports, and the steering wheel will become slightly tight, but only slightly tight, which is not enough for a sports SUV. It is worth mentioning that his steering wheel has three kinds of damping logic to choose from, which is located in the right hand direction of the gear handle and is very convenient to operate. The suspension mode of VV7 adopts McPherson front and McPherson rear multi-link design, and the overall adjustment is hard, which may affect the ride comfort of daily driving. It can quickly and simply filter the shock in the fast rebound area, which is a set of overall eccentric suspension training.
No one is perfect, WEY? VV7 also has disadvantages. Short-distance test drive cannot accurately test fuel consumption. Although the air guide is optimized in the rearview mirror, the design is also more conducive to reducing wind resistance. However, we can infer WEY with curb weight close to 2 tons from the product parameters. There is a high probability that VV7 will not have good fuel economy. ? "Push-to-weight ratio" is also an important technical index to measure vehicles. Obviously, WEY? The thrust-to-weight ratio of VV7 is not very good, and the weight of 2 tons is not as light and delicate as it looks. The new model has undergone a comprehensive NVH upgrade, including body, shape, air tightness and chassis. This upgrade can really feel the effect when driving at a low speed and isolating external sound sources, but with the increase of speed, the engine in the car is still roaring and windy.
WEY？ VV7 technology test drive, filled with emotion. From this model, we can not only reflect the improvement of China's car-making level, but also feel the WEY brand's "customer-centered" corporate values. The upgrading of the triple attributes of science and technology, intelligence and safety is a great improvement of product strength. Excellent NVH performance, luxurious intelligent control aviation seats and smooth driving experience also enable him to take into account some business purposes and become a multi-functional good partner. Although the configuration pile is very full, perhaps most consumers will not buy their own brand flagship models at present. In addition, the pre-sale price of 193800 yuan will also promote the target population to a certain level of social elite. Will they really lock in this mode? We still need to draw a question mark at present. Generally speaking, the product is a good product, but there are too many competitors!
