Previously, we had a static experience of the interior and exterior design of the WEY E.5. Click this review video.
Interior and Exterior Design
The all-new E.5 is based on a pure electric platform and is positioned as a family-oriented new energy vehicle for travel, featuring a “family sedan” concept. The design emphasizes the four-wheel-corner styling, the front appearance conforms to the family sedan positioning, and the interactive log is slightly playful.
The interior design is conventional, with two 12.3-inch screens for instrument and center control, and a panoramic sunroof of 1.91 square meters brings a good experience to the car’s interior space.
Spaciousness
Perhaps the most important aspect for a family sedan is the space performance. The overall size of the vehicle is 4,718 × 1,838 × 1,535 mm, and a 2,810 mm wheelbase brings a very spacious experience to the E.5, more than enough for a family sedan. The overall trunk capacity is 415 litres, which can hold three suitcases of 28 inches, 24 inches, and 20 inches.
Intelligent Technology
In terms of in-car intelligent experience, the WEY E.5 is equipped with dual 12.3-inch screens, and is equipped with the Living Mate intelligent cabin system, which can wake up multimedia, vehicle control, entertainment applications, and other functions through voice.
In terms of intelligent driving, the WEY E.5 is equipped with four millimeter-wave radars and one forward-facing camera, and comes with the L2 level Living Pilot 3.5 Base intelligent driving assistance system, which includes ACC adaptive cruise control, AEB automatic emergency braking, and FCW forward collision warning system.
Power and Range
The vehicle has a NEDC comprehensive range of 505 km and is equipped with a 58.6 kWh three-element lithium-ion battery pack with an energy density of 160 Wh/kg, which is sufficient for household use.
It has a front-mounted single motor with a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 240 N·m, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds.
Other Highlights
In terms of safety, the proportion of high-strength steel usage is 62%, and the battery has an IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
Conclusion
In the increasingly fierce competition of electric vehicles, both product strength and price are important, especially in the compact car market where users are sensitive to price. It remains to be seen whether the new E.5 from WmAuto, a well-established player in the new energy vehicle market, can win the recognition of users.
