In the face of fierce competition in the automobile industry, Yidong EV, the main vehicle of Changan New Energy, is constantly evolving. The author participated in the 3000-mile long-distance evaluation of the first generation EV from Beijing to Shanghai at the end of 20 17, and also participated in the plateau evaluation of the EV460 in Shangri-La, Yunnan on 20 18.
Nowadays, Changan New Energy, represented by Yidong EV, has long been well-known in the domestic new energy vehicle market, but Changan New Energy is not satisfied, let alone complacent. Changan Yidong E-LiFe, which will be listed in August this year, can be regarded as an upgraded version of Changan Yidong EV. On the eve of listing, the author went to Qinghai Lake to test drive this new energy vehicle to see how Ta evolved this time. ......
Every generation is stronger than the next.
From the first generation of Yidong EV to Yidong EV460, the author has participated in the test drive and other new energy vehicles with the same price. Therefore, this test drive meeting of Changan Yidong E-LiFe will have a reference.
Changan Yidong E-LiFe is actually similar to the fuel version in appearance, but it is a pure electric Yidong car with the same color air intake grille and some blue decorations.
Its front face adopts the most common closed air intake grille design of pure electric passenger cars, which can reduce wind resistance. The logo of Changan Automobile in the middle can actually be opened, and there is a charging socket inside, which is very practical.
The air intake grille is equipped with LED strip, which is highly recognizable when driving at night. The standard LED headlights have good lighting effect and automatic opening function.
The overall design and space of Yidong E-LiFe are basically consistent with the fuel version, which is simple and smart. The length is 4.73 meters and the wheelbase is 2.7 meters, which is more than enough for family cars. Edo in the back? E-LiFe logo, indicating the identity of its pure electric vehicle.
The author learned from Changan Automobile Engineer that Changan Yidong E-LiFe adopts ternary lithium battery pack produced by AVIC lithium battery, with capacity of 52.7kWh and NEDC cruising range of 425 kilometers, which is fully qualified for daily travel.
Yidong E Life has also added the function of reverse output of 220V power supply, which can be connected with electrical equipment, such as electric kettle or induction cooker, making it very convenient to use electricity outdoors.
Yidong E-LiFe center console adopts the same integrated screen as the fuel version, with high resolution, practicality and full sense of technology. The interior color matching is mainly soft tones, and there are not many fancy configurations.
The steering wheel texture and interior function keys are good, and there is no feeling of looseness at all. The car's rich functions and reaction speed are also commendable, completely crushing the car of the joint venture car company.
Give priority to practicality and improve driving quality.
In actual driving, the author feels that the internal space of Changan Yidong E-LiFe is still good, the front and rear seats are supported in place, and the hardness of the seat material is moderate. There are many storage compartments in the car, and the front and rear rows of the car are equipped with three USB interfaces and 1 12V power interface, which is very pleasing.
Its trunk space is regular, large enough, but because the battery takes up space, there is no spare tire, of course, so is the electric car.
During driving, Changan Yidong E-LiFe's 120 kW and 245 Nm permanent magnet synchronous motors are full of power and stamina, and feel like a fuel car. Even in Qinghai Lake at high altitude, the power is not affected at all.
Yidong E-LiFe has three modes: ECO, standard and sport, and the kinetic energy recovery is divided into two grades. I think it is enough to use ECO at ordinary times. After all, it is a new energy vehicle that pays attention to cruising range, and the sports mode is of little significance. Moreover, the sports mode has hidden dangers for novices who have just got a driver's license or car owners who have a desire to drive fast. It is recommended to cancel it.
From the overall driving quality, Changan Yidong E-LiFe is a standard family car, which does not deliberately pursue driving pleasure, but pursues comfort and ease of use. Its steering wheel rotates easily, even a petite lady can swing easily. However, the author suggests that it would be better if the power steering with speed is heavier when the vehicle is driving at high speed.
After comparing the previous EV and competing products, the author found that Changan Yidong E-LiFe really went up a storey still higher in the texture of the whole vehicle, and everything was mainly practical, but the movement mode could be omitted.
In addition, the manufacturing technology and processing quality are more reassuring, more scientific and technological, and keep up with the trend of the times. Next, it depends on its price. I expect its price can refer to the price before Yidong EV460. ......
