What is your car budget?
20 to 400,000 yuan
How much did you spend on buying it in total?
27 yuan
How long did you wait for your car to be delivered?
“More than half a year“
Although I waited from April to November, I was still the first batch of car owners to pick up the car. There were too many people buying cars, so the delivery was slow.
Is this your first car?
“No“
Is this your first time purchasing a new energy vehicle?
“Yes“
I’ve been a new energy user for a long time, and today I became a new energy vehicle owner too.
Do you have a home charger?
“No“
I’m renting a place, and the underground garage doesn’t allow for charging piles.
Why did you want to change your car?
I like this car, and the price is also reasonable.
What cars did you consider before buying it?
Ideal L9
AUVI 11
Ford Mustang Mach-E
JIKE001
Tesla Model 3/Y Performance
How many points would you give to its appearance? Can you share a few pictures of your car?
“Great appearance“
Except for the small wheels and the large gap between the wheel eyebrows, the car is still very enjoyable to look at.
Are you satisfied with its space?
“ More than enough “
Given the same size, it has outstanding performance in headroom and rear seats, providing high scores for ride comfort and good storage space, with a decent size for the trunk.
How do you feel about its power?
“ Excellent power “428 horsepower, 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds, various aggressive tires.
What score would you give its assisted driving?
“ Frequently used “
The basic assisted driving is good. Smooth acceleration and deceleration can get high scores. It is slightly inferior to top-grade brands such as BMW and Volkswagen in terms of lane keeping, and the turn signal and lane change function has a high failure rate. The ultrasound-based automatic parking function has a very poor recognition rate and cannot be used in empty parking spaces. One stupid thing is that Barbos mode cannot be used with assisted driving.
How about its energy consumption and endurance performance?
“ Average and acceptable “
The average energy consumption for 2,500 kilometers is 18.2 kWh/100 km. It is not fuel-efficient in daily commuting, which is often above 20+. However, there is a problem with kinetic energy recovery in this data. I usually use the low recovery mode.
Are you satisfied with its infotainment system?
“ Outstanding “
The navigation function is easy to use, and the voice response is fast. The streaming media function is easy to use, and there are relatively few full-screen applications. Although it is also produced by Yikatong along with Xikr, the HMI design responsible by Mercedes is really much more beautiful, and the overall user experience is pretty good. It slightly exceeds expectations.
How often do you charge it in daily use?
Charge 2-3 times a week. The actual full-charge endurance of this car is around 340 kilometers. I commute 30 kilometers one way, and usually unplug at around 85% charged and recharge at around 40%. The usage frequency will be slightly higher on weekends, with a daily mileage of 100 to 150 kilometers.
Share three areas where you want to see improvements:
- Kinetic energy recovery, too much delay, and high recovery is almost unusable;
- Stop mode, the stop mode is accompanied by brake down when driving at low speed, with a large forward resistance and a bumpy ride, as well as 10 seconds of waiting time every time when started, which is stupid.3. The exterior rearview mirror lacks anti-glare function, hoping to add it; the sunglass design of the interior sun visor looks good but is not scratch-resistant, hoping to get coated.
Share three things you are most satisfied with:
- The layout of the entire car and ergonomics, many practical details.
- The interior and exterior design and atmospheric feeling are just right.
- High-level driving calibration, without sacrificing comfort completely.
Share your experience of using the car:
Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, smart#1 is already the most comprehensive premium small car in the domestic market, with decent driving pleasure and practicality. From personal experience, the after-sales and delivery experience are average, and more attention should be paid to user experience improvement. Boboss owners should also take note that ESP in Boboss mode is relatively open, making it easy to slip on rainy days.
