What is your car budget?
40,000 RMB.
How much did you spend on it?
38,000 RMB.
How long did you wait for the car?
“ Less than six months “
Waiting for the car was very anxious and the days were like years. But all the suffering was worth it after receiving the car!
Is this your first car?
“ No “
This is my third car. The first one was a Buick Regal, and the second one was a Mercedes-Benz GLK260. Both cars were used for 7 years.
Is this your first time buying a new energy vehicle?
“ No “
My family bought a BYD Qin EV for the first time.
Do you have a home charging pile?
“ Yes “
There is a 3 kW charging pile provided by BYD at home. After purchasing the Aiwita, an 11 kW charging pile was installed, which is much faster.
Why did you want to change your car?
My family bought a BYD Qin EV in June 22 years ago, which was my first contact with new energy vehicles. I realized that domestic cars are doing so well and got the idea of returning my fuel car. Since I want to buy an electric car, I will definitely buy a more intelligent car. Is there anything more reliable than Huawei when it comes to intelligence in China? Therefore, after a long consideration, I finally chose Aiwita.
What other cars did you consider before buying it?
I considered NIO, but I don’t have much demand for battery swapping, so it is not cost-effective for me. The intelligence of Jidu Auto (formerly known as Xpeng) is not high, and since there is no smart driving system that uses Huawei, I gave up. Considering all aspects, Aiwita is the only one that meets my needs.### How would you rate its appearance? Share some photos of your car!
“ “It’s stunning.” “
The appearance of the Aiways U5 is really stunning, futuristic, and easy to distinguish. The rear of the car is particularly plump and sexy, especially with the electric spoiler – it’s really cool!
Are you happy with its space?
“ “It’s acceptable.” “
The Aiways U5 sacrifices some practical space for its design, but for me, it is good-looking enough. I am not buying a truck. What am I going to do with such a big trunk space?
How do you feel about its performance?
“ “Its power is excellent.”“
The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 3.98 seconds is very exciting. It feels like the car is chasing the soul of a person who is running in front of it.
How would you rate its advanced driving assistance system?
“ “I trust it completely.”“
I have used the NCA intelligent driving assistance system twice on the highway, and it was really hands-free throughout the journey. Huawei’s intelligent driving experience is excellent, especially the intelligent parking system. The Aiways U5’s reverse parking system is better than me, an experienced driver of several decades.### How is its energy consumption and endurance performance?
“ Generally OK “
The dual-motor four-wheel drive consumes more power, and the current winter endurance achievement rate is about 70%, which should be much better in summer. I mainly use it for commuting, occasionally traveling between two cities with short distances. The endurance is completely sufficient, and there is no range anxiety.
Are you satisfied with its car system?
“ Met expectations “
As it is the first version, there are still some minor bugs, but I can accept them. I believe that they will be resolved through future OTA updates, and I have confidence in Huawei.
How often do you charge it in daily life?
Usually, I plug it in to charge when I get home, and control charging to about 90%.
Share three areas you hope it can improve:
- Fix the car system bugs as soon as possible.
- The system ecology can be as inclusive as possible for other Apps to use in the car.
- Develop intelligent driving that does not rely on high-precision maps as soon as possible, so that it is more convenient to use.
Share three areas you are most satisfied with:
- The appearance is very stylish.
- The power is very strong.
- Huawei’s intelligent features are very powerful.
Share your driving experience:
During the Spring Festival, I attended many gatherings and went there in my car. Every friend who saw my car said it looked great! I didn’t expect domestic electric cars to be so advanced, and now I understand why I sold my Mercedes and bought a domestic car. Because of health reasons, I cannot drink alcohol, so after the banquet ends, I always have to drive a car full of people to send them home. Sitting in the car, enjoying the fashionable interior design and listening to the powerful audio of the car, feeling the 3.98-second shocking acceleration and the automated parking that surprised them. Friends who have been in my car all say that the car was really worth buying!
Since I got the car, I no longer need to rely on others to deliver coffee or takeaway. I often like to drive out and buy them by myself. I also like to drive out for fun and enjoy the expressions of passers-by looking back at the car from the rearview mirror.
I am very satisfied with the driving control of the car. It is very quiet and the road feeling is clear. The steering wheel turns accurately, which is much better than the petrol car I used to drive. The biggest surprise that the car brings me is the audio. Because the audio is not a major imported brand, I saw many negative comments online. Although I am not a hi-fi enthusiast, I still have high requirements for audio. After placing the order, I hesitated because of the audio, but finally decided to take a step back because of the stylish appearance and my expectations of Huawei’s intelligent driving. I could always upgrade the audio later if necessary. After the mass-produced cars arrived at the showroom, I specially went to test the audio, but was still somewhat disappointed. However, after getting the car, I logged in to Huawei Music and QQ Music membership, listened to lossless audio, and was surprised to find that the high-pitched sounds of the car were very clear, the low-pitched sounds were very strong, and the human voice was very pleasant to hear. It was too unexpected! The audio upgrade is not necessary at all. It completely satisfies my requirements. I recommend that the official showroom exhibition cars should all be equipped with a music app membership, so that customers who have audio requirements can hear the true strength of the car’s audio.
