In the first quarter of 2020, Nezha Automobile released a new compact SUV. Compared with earlier works, Nezha U. has undergone great changes in both internal and external design and core product strength, which can be said to bring together all the cutting-edge forces of Nezha automobile. This also shows the single-minded determination of this new brand.
This time we got the test drive of Nezha 400U. To know how it performed, please read the text.
Static appearance
At a glance, you can see the difference between the Nezha U and the traditional fuel car-you don't have to consider the engine intake, and the front of the car frees up more space to take care of the design details, including the unique headlights and the coherent central effect light. Under their actions, the original full front is also a little more nervous.
Looking sideways, the side window of Nezha U is smaller, accounting for about one third of the car body, and the visual effect is heavier. The four wheels are as close as possible to the four corners of the car body, which greatly shortens the length of the front and rear suspensions and expands the size of the car.
It was observed that the tire and wheel hub size of Nezha 400U reached 225/60? R1520U is even equipped with 19 inch wheels, which gives consideration to visual texture and grip, and is considered as "sufficient material" for electric vehicles.
The rear of the car is characterized by a penetrating taillight group. Seen from an oblique angle, the lampshade obviously protrudes. With the cooperation of the rear spoiler and the profile with large inclination angle, the three-dimensional sense and layering of the rear of the car are enlarged. The prominent lampshade can not only improve the aesthetic function, but also improve the tail airflow to some extent. In addition, the car's roof is also equipped with a number of bumps, which are intended to disturb the airflow and reduce the drag coefficient. The concept of "form is born for function" has been clearly reflected in the United States.
Static interior
Like most electric vehicles, the interior of Nezha U runs through the concept of "minimalism"-the layout is dominated by a simple and clear T-shaped structure. Looking around, except for the common functions such as LCD screen (instrument, central control panel, air conditioning panel), knob lever, driving mode key, there is almost no more complicated equipment, and drivers can get started quickly. The dark black color scheme used in the interior can reduce the line of sight interference, and users will concentrate on driving. Only the workmanship and texture need to be improved.
In order to take care of the overall effect of the interior, or to facilitate the upgrade and development of subsequent functions, Nezha U specially integrated most functions into the LCD screen. However, due to the small font and irregular interface arrangement, the convenience of operation (especially in driving) is affected. Fortunately, these shortcomings are expected to be improved through OTA upgrade.
The central passage of Nezha U is suspended, and the cup holder, storage tank, power supply and USB interface are arranged below it. The space utilization rate seems good, but due to the influence of structure, it is not convenient to bend down to take things.
One-piece seat is another feature of Nezha U interior-the overall texture is soft, and the fit and support to the car body are acceptable. More importantly, it enlivens the driving and control atmosphere of new energy vehicles. Entering the back row, you can see that its floor is basically flat, which ensures the comfort of full-load travel. The only thing is that the cushions in the back row are slightly shorter, and the support for the legs is still so "lost".
Static space
The wheelbase of Nezha U is 2770mm, which is almost the level of early B-class cars. In fact, efficient space utilization is the advantage of electric vehicles-compared with fuel vehicles, the mechanical part of the former accounts for a small proportion, which can maximize the use of compartment space. Nezha U's tall body also has enough space to accommodate the battery pack. Reflected in the back knee spacing can reach a palm (height1.8m), and the head range is three punches, which is even better than many medium-sized SUVs.
The official hasn't given the trunk volume of Nezha U, but from the scene, the width of the opening and the inner wall is acceptable, except the depth is slightly short, and there is no problem in the entry and exit of conventional items such as backpacks, boarding boxes and photographic equipment. The storage space of the passenger compartment is the same as that of the fuel truck of the same class, including the central armrest, the storage tank of the door panel and the glove box. The internal volume is good, but there is a lack of flocking to reduce the friction noise of goods.
dynamic
As the name implies, the cruising range of Nezha 400U MIIT is 400km, and the battery energy is 54kWh. It takes 8.5 hours to reach full charge slowly; It takes 0.5 hours for fast charging to reach 80%. In other words, this car is not limited to the "two points and one line" car mode, and can be competent for the short-distance trip of 200-300km in Fiona Fang. For example, you can charge it quickly in the high-speed service area, or you can charge it slowly while staying at the destination.
The motor adopts front layout and front wheel drive. The maximum power and torque are 150kW(204Ps) and 3 10N.m respectively. The official acceleration score is 7s/ 100km, and its power performance is roughly equivalent to that of a 2.0T gasoline supercharged engine. The actual feeling is as follows: under the dynamic acceleration of 40km/h, the front wheel will slip and scream because the torque intervention is too "sudden". In this respect, if it is converted into a fuel vehicle, it needs an engine with a maximum torque of 350N.m to get rid of the shackles of the electronic system instantly. Of course, it also proves from the side that the tire grip of Nezha 400U is weak.
In fact, the powerful low-speed explosive force is the working characteristic of the motor. Even if the power is the same, it is difficult for a fuel engine to produce a similar acceleration experience. But the disadvantage is that it can't give a "continuous upward" dynamic curve, and it will soon cross the peak point and gradually enter a "flat period". The above characteristics are reflected in any 400U u, of course, this is also related to the lack of traditional transmission in electric vehicles-only equipped with a single-speed transmission, which can not optimize the power structure and lead to rear fatigue. When driving at high speed, the motor will run at high speed for a long time, resulting in a sharp increase in power consumption. Therefore, for most electric vehicles, the middle and low speed section is the most suitable working condition.
In other aspects, the Nezha 400U gives people a very friendly feeling, such as: the power pedal is lightly damped, and the sense of proportion between travel and power release is well done-there is basically no virtual position, and the pedaling process can keep pace with the acceleration response of the vehicle, so it is relatively easy to follow the car in the urban area; Driving mode and ability recovery are independent combinations (there are also default combinations), which can "customize" the appropriate scheme according to personal habits, needs or car use environment, and have certain freedom; Seen from below, the chassis is completely covered by the guard plate, which not only plays the role of blocking sediment and protecting important components, but also reduces wind resistance by means of a flat surface, which is of key significance for improving energy consumption.
abstract
From the design point of view, Nezha U seems to be trying to break through everyone's vision and aesthetic standards. After contact with the real car, its unique "tonality" can really arouse our interest.
During the test drive, the dynamic performance of Nezha 400U brought surprises, and the explosive power at the beginning was far better than my psychological expectation. As for the energy consumption, according to the computer display, the driving distance is 9km, the average speed is 18km/h, and the electric energy consumption is 14.5kWh/ 100km, which proves that the energy consumption (shown in the table) can completely match the daily working condition parameters of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology-comprehensive working condition electric energy consumption 14. Considering that the curb weight of Nezha 400U is close to 1.7 tons, almost equal to that of a medium-sized fuel SUV, it is good to achieve such a low comprehensive energy consumption, and the efficiency of the power system is beyond doubt.
Finally, as a response to consumer support, the brand will lay more outlets in major cities-at present, there are more than 200 channels in third, fourth and fifth tier cities; The number of direct stores and supermarkets opened in first-and second-tier cities will also reach 50 by the end of 2020.
As one of the most important markets of the brand, Chengdu has naturally attracted much attention-two months after entering the Chengdu market, orders including private and online car rental markets have exceeded 1 100 units. In addition, the opening of the new delivery center will also provide the city with one-stop car service from test drive, after-sales to social life.
