Riding my two-wheeled bicycle to the mall today, I was attracted by this car with big eyes in the mall. I was warmly greeted by the store clerk as soon as I walked in, and it turned out to be made by the same company as my bicycle!!
Can a two-wheeled bicycle be exchanged for a four-wheeled car? To understand the situation, take a look at the following chart:
The Self-Traveler NV, as the first car Li Yinan entered the new energy automobile industry, is also the car that he uses to establish himself in the industry. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to polish this car well. What are the details of this car? Today, let’s take a look at the intelligent cockpit of the Self-Traveler NV.
- Fully consider the usage habits of fuel vehicle users. This is reflected in two aspects: retaining physical buttons and half-screen CarPlay. This is related to the design concept. Retaining physical buttons for commonly used functions is handy, and CarPlay ensures that the experience of using the car machine is at least in a “non-wrong” state, making it easier for fuel vehicle users to transition to electric vehicles. However, this may also be a double-edged sword. Original electric vehicle users or younger customers may not be very interested. However, now that new energy vehicles are all intelligent car machines, this stuff is optional for me.
2. Interior configuration piled up to the top. Nappa leather seats, fully leather-wrapped dashboard, metal-mesh-covered sound system, front seats with ventilation, heating, massage, rear seats with ventilation, heating, etc., are all standard configurations for the same level of new forces. The rear air vents are crafted delicately with electric adjustment, unlike some brands with rudimentary vents. Furthermore, Zhiyoujia has created a queen co-driver station, which is a significant selling point for family-oriented customers. After all, in many cases, wives play a large role in purchasing decisions for families, so it’s crucial to please the “lady of the house.”
- Highlight design: Healthy screen next to the air vent. Zhiyoujia NV has designed small screens next to the left and right air vents. Based on the officially released information, it can display PM2.5, temperature, and fresh air conditions. This is not a unique function. Brands like Tesla and NIO also equip HEPA air filters. The difference is that Zhiyoujia NV strengthens the “perception” of this function through the screen. I wonder if consumers will appreciate this? It’s definitely better than some brands that spray powder from their air vents.
- Super-large trunk and fold-down space. After folding down the second row, a person with a height of 1.8 meters can lie straight in it, catering to the needs of young people for camping and sports. A corresponding super-large trunk means that the rear cabin space is relatively small, about one-and-a-half fists away, which is still considered good. For me, it’s definitely enough. With a super-large trunk, I can fit a lot of camping gear when going out.
5. The overall design is simple, but lacks distinctive features. The design of Zhiyoujia NV is reminiscent of Tesla, with a relatively simple visual style. Personally, I’m not a fan of the “thick border” on the central control screen, as it occupies a large surface area and easily distracts the user’s attention. It would be better to replace it with a display screen or use a variety of materials, like NIO, to create a more premium feel. Alternatively, the material itself could be changed.
- There’s not much to say about the specific parameters. Zhiyoujia NV is a new brand and offers both pure electric and extended-range version models. The standard range and long-range versions of the pure electric model are priced at 278,800 yuan and 318,800 yuan, respectively, while the extended-range version is priced at 288,800 yuan. It’s all about the experience when it comes to test driving. I’ve ordered the long-range version as my favorite feature is the city exploration style of the electric car, which is suitable for light off-roading. If you’re interested in new energy and off-road driving, keep an eye on it!
- Tesla has recently lowered prices, which may attract a group of consumers at this price point. It would be great if more benefits could be added and the price were even lower. As a brand debut using an SUV priced between 280,000 and 310,000 yuan, Zhiyoujia NV has taken a bold move, considering the fierce competition in this price range. Let’s hope Zhiyoujia NV can make a big splash in the market!
