In fact, when talking about extended-range electric vehicles, Ideal ONE is definitely the first model that comes to mind. As Ideal ONE gradually gains a foothold in the new energy market, more and more consumers are buying it. Pay attention to extended-range electric vehicles. In fact, extended-range electric vehicles are not a new thing. The early BMW i3 extended-range electric vehicles and Buick VELITE5 extended-range electric vehicles were all pioneers.
The biggest advantage is that the power generation unit composed of an internal combustion engine and a generator can automatically and intermittently generate electricity under system control in the best fuel consumption (most energy-saving) working condition to provide driving and assistance for electric vehicles. Equipment and batteries provide power. So in the current market, is there no other choice besides Ideal ONE? In fact, there is also Cyrus SF5.
SERES, this brand may be unfamiliar to many people. It is a brand of Chongqing Jinkang SERES Automobile Co., Ltd. Its first model is also a very popular extended-range electric vehicle, the Cyrus SF5.
Design with high recognition of details
The appearance of Cyrus SF5 has many details and highlights. The Sigma Σ-shaped LED daytime running lights are designed with lightning elements. The recognition is also quite high during the day. With its blessing, the Cyrus SF5 has a higher recognition. The diamond-shaped matrix grille is perfectly integrated with the front of the car. These openings not only add to the technological feel of the entire vehicle, but also help dissipate heat from the range extender. Although it is prominent, it is not obtrusive, and every detail of the design is well grasped.
The willow-shaped side window design on the side of the car body is also the family language of Salis. It is integrated into the natural aesthetic design of life, forming a downward sloping roof line and an upward rising waistline, bringing a unique style. The dynamic shape; the fastback coupe shape, combined with the low front and high rear body posture, gives people an elegant and sporty look visually and dynamically. Coupled with the hidden door handle design, the vehicle is aerodynamic. Learn better.
The side shape of the Cyrus SF5 looks compact, but its interior space performance is still quite good. The length, width and height of the SF5 are 4700/1930/1625mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2875mm. It is completely the size of a medium-sized SUV. In the experience, the Cyrus SF5 has good headroom, legroom and waist support. It's in place, with excellent space performance in both the front and rear rows.
The design outside the car also extends to the inside. The 17-inch vertical central control screen replaces most of the physical buttons in the car. The air-conditioning outlet of the Cyrus SF5 also adopts a hidden design, coupled with a knob-type gear shift, making the interior of the car look very neat and tidy. It is worth mentioning that a large area of ??leather and slush molding are used in the car to further improve the comfort of driving.
In addition, all Cyrus SF5 series come standard with Bosch ESP?9.3 body stability system, HDC steep hill descent control, EPB electronic parking, TPMS tire pressure display, ESS emergency braking hazard warning, FCW front More than 40 functions, including directional collision warning, LCA merging assist, RCTA rear traffic penetration warning, 360-degree high-definition panoramic parking image, and BSD blind spot monitoring, can fully consider the safety of vehicles and pedestrians.
An anxiety-free pure electric experience
The Cyrus SF5 has two versions, a pure electric version and an extended-range version. There are also two versions of the same power battery. The pure electric version uses Panasonic's 21700 battery, while the extended-range version uses NCM?523 batteries from BYD. The total battery pack capacity is 35kWh (equipped with liquid-cooled constant temperature and low-temperature heating). The NEDC comprehensive operating range is 150 kilometers. (The battery is reduced to 30 and the range extender starts).
Although the cruising range is much shorter than that of pure electric vehicles, it is still enough for daily driving. The key thing is that the vehicle uses extended-range power and the fuel tank capacity is 56L. When filled with fuel, the vehicle's endurance is about 800 kilometers, so there will be no endurance anxiety at all.
The Cyrus SF5 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine from Xiaokang, but the engine does not directly provide power, but acts as a high-efficiency generator. In addition to the engine, the actual work of driving the vehicle is completed by two AC asynchronous motors on the front and rear axles. The parameters of the front and rear axle motors are the same, with a maximum power of 255kW and a maximum torque of 520N·m. The comprehensive output power of the system is the sum of the power of the front and rear axle motors, reaching 520kW, the maximum torque reaches 1040N·m, and the acceleration time to 100 kilometers is less than 4.8 seconds.
Does this data sound scary? It is easy to think that it is difficult to tame, but the Cyrus SF5 provides 5 driving modes, 4 road modes, 3 steering modes and 2 brake pedal modes to choose from, so just choose the mode combination that suits you. I found that it is actually not difficult to control. And because of the extended-range power, the vehicle always maintains pure electric drive, so the Cyrus SF5 has the smooth driving and lag-free acceleration experience of a pure electric vehicle in any driving mode.
Although the suspension has chosen relatively hard damping to improve handling performance, you will not feel that the comfort is affected when driving on urban roads. The fine vibrations from the road are well filtered out, but at the same time it retains a clearer road feel. When facing large ups and downs such as speed bumps, it does not feel too bouncy due to the large curb weight, and the suspension rebounds It is quick and can quickly pull the car body, effectively avoiding unnecessary shaking. Sitting in the car, you can feel a certain sense of luxury.
The emergence and hot sales of Ideal ONE is essentially a good thing for Cyrus. The current new energy market is dominated by pure electric vehicles, but Cyrus is also distinguished from them as an extended-range electric vehicle. Although the Cyrus SF5 brand is not well-known, the manufacturing process and technical strength of its products cannot be underestimated, and it still has sufficient product strength. Cyrus SF5 has product characteristics that are differentiated from Ideal ONE, and it will definitely be able to carve out a niche in the market.
