1.How is the endurance performance of ChangXun? Is it enough for your daily commute? What is the farthest place you have driven to by car?
I went to a cold hostel in the Miyun Mountains during a car club trip. From recent day-to-day experience, the actual driving mileage and power decline are almost 1:1. Many car owners have reflected that the actual driving mileage in low-speed conditions in Spring can even exceed 410km, which is the comprehensive working condition. However, if driven under high-speed conditions throughout the trip, the mileage will be lower than 410km.
Here is the evaluation from Autohome: “The proportion of low-speed power decline in the city is 1:0.72, while the proportion of power decline on intercity highways is 1:1.36”. Based on personal driving experience, if the EV mode is not frequently used, it is no problem for daily city commuting to reach around 400 kilometers.
2.Which configuration did you choose? What discounts did you get? Have you applied for installment purchases? What is the interest rate approximately?
I purchased the top configuration of ChangXun, the XingYu version, at full price with no extra discounts offered by the 4S store other than the 599-10000 yuan activation promotion.
3.How did you consider the configurations when choosing? Can you give some recommendations?
Each configuration has its own selling points, and the second top configuration has a relatively high price-performance ratio.
4.Are you still satisfied with the noise control? Is it noisy during normal driving?
The wind noise is relatively well controlled while driving. I guess it is mainly due to the double-layer insulating glass used in the windows.
5.The distance between the bottom of the battery and the ground is 14 centimeters. Is it possible to hit the bottom during driving?
It has never happened.
6.How are the storage spaces in the front and back rows? Are you satisfied? Are they convenient to use?
The storage space is sufficient for daily use. Due to the panoramic sunroof, the height of the car roof is raised; however, I, standing at a height of 180 centimeters, did not feel any pressure on my head in both the front and back seats. There is a distance of more than two fists for legroom in the back seat, which can accommodate five people comfortably. The only downside is that there is no central armrest and middle headrest on the back seat. It is a very suitable car for family use.
7.How is the driving feeling? Anything worth mentioning?
The car provides three driving modes: economy mode, normal mode, and power mode, suitable for people with different driving habits. The power recovery also contains three gears: high, medium, and low, equivalent to 3 * 3 = 9 modes in total. The accelerator and acceleration output are relatively linear while driving, which is slightly different from driving a gasoline car and there is no feeling of turbo lag. The car copes with bumpy roads relativity smoothly.
8.Do you have a charging station installed in your community in Beijing? Any experience dealing with property management?
Currently, installation is not allowed in the community due to the epidemic.
9.Have you ever charged the car outside? How long does it take?
All charging is currently completed outside of the community using fast charging, which takes about 30-40 minutes to charge to 80%.10. Which charging station app do you think is more user-friendly if you go on a long trip?
Currently, I use Star Charge and TELD because there are activities to exchange points for charging cards from these two companies when buying a car.
