What is your car budget?
30,000 yuan.
How much did you spend in total to buy it?
330,000 yuan.
How long did you wait for delivery of your car?
“More than half a year“
Ordered in late March of 2022, picked up the car on Christmas.
Is this your first car?
“No“
There were problems with the payment when ordering the car, but it didn’t matter after picking it up.
Is this your first time buying a new energy vehicle?
“Yes“
It smells better than a fuel vehicle…

Can’t install a charging station in the ground parking space. There’s a battery-swapping station less than 500 meters away from home, which is great.
Why did you want to change cars?
Adding a new car.
What cars did you consider before buying it?
Tesla, its biggest competitor. Compared the two repeatedly before buying.
How many points would you give to its appearance? Show some pictures of your car.
“Looks great“The car looks great. It has been over a month since I picked it up and it still looks amazing.
Are you satisfied with its spaciousness?
“ More than enough space “
The space is not a problem, I am very satisfied overall. However, I have hardly sat in the second row so I don’t know how comfortable it is for long trips.
How do you feel about its power?
“ Excellent power “
It’s really good, very responsive. I usually drive at 5.9, and my wife at 7.9.
How do you rate its driving assistance?
“ Frequently used “### How is its energy consumption and endurance performance?
“ Generally okay “
It’s passable. Normally, it ranges from 17-22 when driving regularly with low kinetic energy recovery. Once when it was snowing and there was snow on the road, the energy consumption was 33.
Are you satisfied with its in-car system?
“ Outstanding “
No issues really, it’s pretty easy to use.
What is your daily charging frequency like?
During Chinese New Year, I charged it three times for a complete recharge. Usually, at most once and a half times per week.
Share three areas in which you hope it can be improved:
- The information displayed on the instrument navigation is too limited, it’s virtually useless. Normally, I rely on the navigation information on the center console.
- There are gaps in the 360-degree surround camera that make it difficult to judge the distance from obstacles from certain angles.
- The sound system is subpar. I find no joy in playing music that I normally listen to with my headphones inside the car. When driving, I usually don’t listen to music anymore.
- The laser radar has sound. When the speed drops below 30 and the windows are closed with no music playing, it can be very annoyingly audible, which is quite bothersome.
- The logic of the window switches is such that even after more than a month, I still haven’t gotten used to it. It’s too uncomfortable, even after changing the direction of the switches.
- There are gaps between the sun visor and the A-pillar. When sunlight shines directly into the car, it cannot be blocked.
Three things you are most satisfied with:
- Handsome.
Share your driving experience:
The 19-inch tires are not suitable for the car’s performance. It is recommended to choose 20-inch tires, or at least choose the silent tires. The Alcantara roof is highly recommended, the texture is really good. The star-shaped seats are really nice to look at. There are some minor problems encountered, which will be addressed in a separate post, so I won’t go into detail here, but it doesn’t affect the use. Overall, if you don’t care about money, go for it.
