What is your car budget?
35 thousand dollars.
How much did you spend on buying it in total?
37 thousand dollars.
How long did you wait for your beloved car?
“ Within a quarter “
Due to the lockdown in Chongqing, the delivery of the car, originally scheduled for early December, was delayed. We could only hope to receive it before the Chinese New Year. AVETA issued its first notice of delayed delivery, saying that reimbursements would begin on January 22. It was promised that the car would be delivered before the Chinese New Year, and I was looking forward to taking it back home for the holiday. However, it was postponed again. Fortunately, AVETA’s public relations team saw our hopes for receiving the car and changed the delivery subsidy date to January 1, giving us “top-of-the-tower” status.
Is this your first car?
“ No “
Before purchasing AVETA, our family’s car needs were for commuting in a small city and weekend camping and picnicking in nearby areas. There was a Volkswagen T-Roc and a BMW X2 parked at home, both of which were small cars with insufficient space. This presented some problems for camping and picnicking. At the same time, our little baby “Yiyi” kept growing, and we had new demands for the vehicle. Therefore, we came up with the idea of trading in our old cars.
Is this your first time buying a new energy vehicle?
“ Yes “
During our discussion about trading in oil cars, electric cars, and hybrid cars, we had different opinions. My wife had an inexplicable love for an oil SUV, while I set my sights on new energy vehicles. Many new energy brands were the focus of my research. The first consensus we achieved was that we wanted an SUV with more space. Then, with my gentle persuasion, we successfully focused on new energy vehicles. However, my wife thought that the cars I had selected were ordinary, and I was unaware of the aesthetic flaws. It was only in May of 2022 that AVETA made an appearance. Its exceptionally handsome appearance caught my attention, and my wife was also attracted to this kind and honest guy.### Do you have a home charging station?
“ Yes “
Why do you want to change your car?
Before we bought the Avita, our family’s car needs were mainly commuting in a small city and weekend camping and picnicking in nearby areas. Originally, we had a Volkswagen Golf 7 and a BMW 2 Series, both of which were small cars with insufficient space, and we encountered some problems with camping and picnicking. At the same time, our little baby was growing up, and we had new demands for the car’s use, so we came up with the idea of replacing our car.
What cars did you consider before buying it?
My wife has an inexplicable fondness for gasoline SUVs, and we looked at Q5, GLC, X3, and other models. On the other hand, I set my sights on new energy vehicles, such as XPeng G9, NIO, Tesla, and numerous other new energy brands.
How many points would you give to its appearance? Could you share some pictures of your favorite car?
“ Awesome “
Are you satisfied with its space?
“ Beyond expectation “
With a nearly three-meter wheelbase, it represents a spacious interior space with a distance of more than two fists between the rear seats, which is very comfortable. The ingenious three-box car design isolates the trunk, creating excellent internal space.
What do you think about its power?
“ Excellent power “
The 576-hp beast and 3.98-second 0 to 100 kph acceleration represent its powerful performance. In the driving process, a light tap on the accelerator provides stable power feedback, making it a formidable beast.
How many points would you give to its assisted driving?
“ High-frequency use “### How is its energy consumption and endurance performance?
“ Electricity usage is very efficient “
Are you satisfied with its infotainment system?
“ Met my expectations “
Share three areas you hope it can be improved:
It was found that the navigation system has some issues. When opening too many apps, the “Xiaota” assistant will freeze. The language assistant “Xiaota” also needs improvement. It’s a bit awkward that Netease cloud music cannot be placed on the main interface, and the cards and applications on the main interface cannot be customized. This is an area that Huawei needs to continue improving. After driving about 278 kilometers since picking up the car, there was still 174 kilometers of remaining endurance. It’s about 72% of the total endurance. The displayed energy consumption rate of 18.9KW/100KM on the system is not accurate, and feedback has been submitted for this issue.
Share three areas you are most satisfied with:
Overall, the vehicle chassis is very solid with good stability, and the assisted driving is very stable. The trust level of intelligent driving is very high, and the radar detection is very accurate. It can even detect vehicles on the opposite lane across highway barriers.
Share your driving experience:
Some of the issues found during the test drive have been resolved by the time I picked up the car, such as the sound system, seats (still not comfortable enough), ACC, noise isolation, and interior stitching (improved). There are still some wrinkles on the leather seats and the stitching is not perfectly neat, but when buying a car, it’s about the overall performance, and I don’t pay too much attention to small details. Although there are still some small issues, I still hope for continuous improvement and the enhancement of after-sales service and emergency handling capabilities. As car owners, we also encourage and inspire the AVITA team.
