It can be said that SAIC-GM is the forerunner of new energy vehicles in China. From extended program to extended program hybrid, to pure electric, and then from car to SUV, it can be said that it is one step at a time. Now, with the launch of Buick Micro Blue 7 pure electric SUV, it can also be said that SAIC-GM's new energy vehicles have stepped onto a new level. They are all pure electric SUVs. What are the differences between Buick Micro Blue 7 pure electric SUV with deep technical reserves launched by SAIC-GM? After the deep test drive, I felt the uniqueness of SAIC-GM in the handling performance of pure electric vehicles, which brought it a more humane side.
Pressing the unique rectangular one-key keyless start button, the instruments and other implementations have entered the working state, which reminds me of the sense of ceremony shown in the sci-fi movies I watched as a child before sailing. The handle is already button-type, which is very convenient to operate. Eight years ago, when I got into the Chevrolet Volanda, I felt full of fashion sense. Now I feel that the micro blue 7 has some of that feeling. When you step on the accelerator pedal deeply, the feeling of pushing your back arises spontaneously, and the power comes very quickly and smoothly.
It turns out that Micro Blue 7 is equipped with the latest generation of eMotion intelligent electric drive technology. The maximum power of the front permanent magnet synchronous motor is 130kw, and the peak torque is 360Nm. Compared with Guangqi Honda VE- 1 120kw/280Nm and GAC Toyota C-HR EV 150kw/300Nm, Micro Blue 7 is more prominent in power explosion. When I opened the front hatch of the micro blue 7 and saw several interconnected boxes, I felt that the integration of the power unit needed to be improved. In actual driving, in the standard mode, the dynamic response of Micro Blue 7 is very fast and linear, and it is also equipped with sports mode, which brings you more passion. In sports mode, the accelerator pedal is also more sensitive and has faster dynamic response. When I accelerate to 80km/h, I still feel a steady explosive force. Sufficient power reserve makes me more confident in driving the micro blue 7. The adjustment and matching of micro blue 7 front McPherson suspension and rear torsion beam suspension according to the characteristics of new energy products bring balanced performance. When passing through a continuous bumpy road section, it is necessary to control the speed to reduce the bumpy degree.
In the face of increasingly fierce market competition, has SAIC-GM, which has been deeply involved in the field of new energy for many years, applied any secret weapons to Micro Blue 7? The answer is yes. First of all, the driver will find a battery-coated pull ROD above the steering rod on the left side of the steering wheel. This is the strong energy recovery key of the motor, which means that the ROD can enhance kinetic energy recovery with one key. By controlling the time of pulling the lever, dragging the motor can completely reduce the vehicle speed to zero. By controlling the release time of the lever, you can completely reduce the speed to the speed you want without the participation of the traditional braking system. It is really great and practical, and the energy is well reused. This function is similar to the engine braking function of heavy trucks, but the motor system takes this function to the extreme, which also tells us that electric vehicles still have great potential to be developed and utilized.
Compared with other brands of electric vehicles, Buick refreshed our knowledge and directly developed the "OPD single pedal mode". As long as you press this key and activate this function, the vehicle will enter the "go-kart" mode, and as long as you control the accelerator pedal, you can control the speed 100%. When you release the "accelerator pedal", you will feel some resistance, so the speed will drop smoothly. Strong kinetic energy can be recovered by manual paddles, and urban road conditions stop and go without stepping on the brakes.
Micro Blue 7 energy recovery mode also includes "standard mode" and "OPD single pedal mode+pull rod one-key enhanced kinetic energy recovery", and the combination of four energy recovery modes. In the standard mode, like driving a fuel car, the vehicle glides briskly after releasing the pedal, and the driver and passenger can hardly feel the braking energy recovery; The most interesting thing about driving is the combination of one-button enhanced kinetic energy recovery and OPD single pedal mode to achieve the strongest kinetic energy recovery efficiency. The feedback and direction of the steering wheel during driving are satisfactory, but I feel that the position of the steering wheel is a bit too backward and needs further adjustment. Micro Blue 7 also has a safer and more worry-free 12 intelligent driving assistance function, especially ACC full-speed adaptive cruise system, FCA frontal collision early warning system, LDW lane departure early warning system, SBZA side blind zone early warning system, etc., which makes people feel comfortable all the way.
The bluish 7 battery with high energy ratio and long life is provided by LG Chem, the world's top brand. The power consumption of the battery pack consisting of 288 cells is 55.6 kWh, and the minimum power consumption per 100 km is 13. 1kWh, which brings a battery life of 500km. Gm's unique battery-level intelligent temperature management system ensures that the battery pack can output stably in a wide range of ambient temperatures from -35 to 55℃. When the theme of enhanced display is turned on on the dashboard of the vehicle, there will be three values: Max, Min and actual cruising range. Max represents the longest cruising range under ideal working conditions and Min represents the lowest cruising range under worst working conditions. The current actual cruising range is comprehensively calculated according to driving habits and other factors. Three different indicators have also broken the monotonous cruising range tips of pure electric vehicles in the past, making people more aware of driving the micro blue 7. Micro Blue 7 also provides three charging modes, namely "plug and charge", "delayed charging" and "saving money", which can set the position memory and target power, and can realize the fast "blood-returning" ability of charging 379km for 60 minutes and 2 13km for 30 minutes. The fast charging function greatly improves the practicability of Micro Blue 7.
The light blue 7 interior design language also comes from Buick's 360-degree embracing integrated cockpit concept. The patchwork of gold chrome-plated decorative strips runs through it, plus exquisite gold patterns and 3D three-dimensional patterns all over the place, showing elegance, chic, spaciousness and layering. The easily-touched areas such as the central control panel, the roof lining and the door interior are covered with soft materials, which brings good comfort; The high-seated front seat with ventilation and heating function broadens the field of vision and makes driving more comfortable; The standard ETRS key electronic shift is simple and easy to operate; In particular, the rear view screen of high-definition streaming media has a wider visual range than the traditional rear view mirror, and the visual field will not be blocked by the rear passengers, so the road behind the car can be seen more clearly at night and in rainy and snowy weather. BOSE audio and Buick QuietTuningTM patented mute technology complement each other, bringing an immersive mobile concert hall cockpit experience.
The light blue wheelbase of 7 2675mm brings excellent seating space and makes the rear passengers more comfortable. At the same time, there is a panoramic skylight with a length of 902mm and a width of 825mm, which brings transparency and comfort. When I got on and off the bus, I found that the door had no threshold and the back row was flat floor, which made it convenient to get on and off and comfortable to ride. In terms of storage space, the design of more than 20 storage compartments in the car, especially the super-large through space under the gear lever and the private space under the trunk floor, is very pleasing. Although the trunk space of 363L is not large, it is not a problem to load daily necessities. If large items are transported, the rear seats can be completely leveled 6/4, which realizes the huge expansion of the loading space to1331L.
The overall style of Micro Blue 7 continues the gene of Buick brand sculpture aesthetics and the dynamic style of "Buick Blue" new energy vehicle family. You will find that its front face has no traditional air intake grille, and it is replaced by a 3D geometric cross-section pattern, which looks more avant-garde and fashionable. This pattern can be echoed on the side skirts, the rear of the car and the center console and become an exclusive symbol. The decorative strip of light-guiding LED flying wing is integrated with the boomerang type front LED light-guiding daytime running lamp, which brings a dynamic and sharp penetration effect and echoes with the rear penetrating LED taillight, becoming another symbolic highlight in the whole vehicle design. The front bumper is equipped with black air guide curtains on both sides, which not only strengthens the design elements of Buick family wings, but also takes into account the practicality of reducing wind resistance and brings more sense of science and technology. The C-pillar on the side of the car also adopts boomerang style, and the suspended roof created by black decoration is elegant and dynamic. The shape of the tail is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the large area surrounded by black gives the whole car a sense of stability.
The Buick eConnect intelligent interconnection technology equipped with Micro Blue 7 and the deeply integrated Baidu artificial intelligence car network are very powerful. As long as you press the shortcut key of the steering wheel, you can wake up Baidu voice assistant, tell you where to go and tell you what to do, and it will help you. Enjoy food, visit beautiful scenery, watch movies, and even bind smart home, and turn on smart home appliances remotely before going home. The data coverage of navigation maps exceeding100000 km is more accurate than before. When you meet a favorite place, you can also synchronize your mobile phone and car collection. When friends travel in groups or meet people, they can display each other's position in real time through car navigation. When traffic jams are boring, there are 20 million+online music resources,100,000+excellent audio books, 20,000+free online radio stations, and massive news content resources for entertainment. When the vehicle endurance is less than 100km, the navigation system will draw the expected vehicle endurance range, and when it is less than 75km, the system will automatically remind and recommend the surrounding charging piles.
Micro Blue 7 has the capability of OTA remote upgrade, and enjoys the service of100g "Onstar Anjixing 4G Car Link Application Free of Traffic for Life" every year. In addition to practical smart car technology, the interaction between mobile phone and car machine is essential. Wireless apple CarPlay function+wireless charging is the gospel of mobile phone addicts, and it also supports Baidu CarLife mobile phone map. Through the iBuick mobile App, you can also remotely control and manage the micro blue 7, such as turning on the air conditioner in advance in summer, and sitting in the car can instantly immerse people in a high-end comfortable atmosphere.
After deeply experiencing Buick Micro Blue 7, I feel that it has great strength from behind with its more personalized face value, rich and practical configuration and more humanized functions. Buick Micro Blue 7 pure electric SUV has a battery life of 500km, and the subsidy price is179,800 yuan and199,800 yuan respectively. In the price range of 1.7-0.2 million yuan, Buick Micro Blue 7 has good competitive strength.
