At present, the average monthly sales volume of P7 in Tucki is more than 2,000 units, compared with Model? 3, this gap is very obvious. But in terms of product strength, is the gap between the two really that big? At present, Tucki P7 has launched three models *** 10, namely, rear-drive long-life version, four-wheel drive long-life version and four-wheel drive high-performance version. In order to find out the product strength, in this issue, we test-drive the P7' s rear-drive long-life extreme speed version, and interpret the strength of Tucki P7 from two aspects: static experience and dynamic test drive.
Different from the excessive pursuit of young design of fuel vehicles at present, Tucki P7, as an intelligent product under the Internet technology platform, can be said to exude the characteristics of "youth" from the inside out. Because of the identity of new energy, it has created a highly recognizable skin. The front face design is simple and sci-fi, and the traditional air intake grille is cancelled. The daytime running lights are designed in sections, and the headlights are designed on both sides below the daytime running lights, which looks unique.
The far and near light groups and daytime running lights all adopt LED light sources, and the lighting effect at night is quite brilliant. Interestingly, this car is also equipped with a unique "light dance" function. When you start this function on the central control panel in the car, the simulation effect of this function will be displayed on the central control panel, accompanied by a symphony. At the same time, the daytime running lights and taillights outside the car will constantly change the lighting effect according to the rhythm of music. If this function is turned on while driving, the vehicle will automatically switch from normal lighting to the "light dance" effect after parking, and the cool light show will easily attract others' attention.
P7' s side fuselage design is more rounded, and the transition between lines is very smooth. The front of the car is low, and the upper arc extends along the roof to the rear, which looks very natural. The window frame is completely surrounded by chrome-plated design, and with the concealed door handle and frameless door design, the whole body is more fashionable and exquisite.
As a medium-sized car, Tucki P7 has a circumference of 4880/ 1896/ 1450mm and a wheelbase of 2998mm. With the competitive Model Tesla Model? Compared with 3, the length of P7 is 184 mm, and the wheelbase is123 mm. On the way back from the test drive, we also met Model on the road. 3 is still relatively advanced. Thanks to the advantages of body size, the gas field of P7 is obviously stronger than that of Model? 3。
Under normal circumstances, this P7 uses 18-inch rim, but for matching reasons, the rim specifications of this car are all the first 245/45? After r19,245/45? R 19. The larger rim and the ten-spoke black/gray contrast pattern improve the texture of the whole vehicle.
The tail design is simple and neat. In order to echo the front of the car, a penetrating light bar is also designed at the tail, which is mainly used to show the effect of "light dance" function, and the real taillight is designed below the penetrating light bar. In addition, the rear of the car is surrounded by black and turned up, and the position of the license plate is set on the surface. Coupled with the English logo of "XPENG", it looks very stable.
As a new energy vehicle with the label of "modern technology", the cockpit of Tucki P7 adopts a minimalist cockpit with technology as the main theme. Except for two eye-catching dual screens (LCD instrument+LCD central control panel), almost all functions in the car are operated through the intelligent central control panel. In addition, in order to increase the storage space between the front seats, P7 adopts a pocket design behind the steering wheel. In terms of material, a large number of soft bag materials are used in the car, and both visual texture and touch have the standard that this class of models should have.
The steering wheel of P7 is flat-bottomed, and the surface is decorated with a silver decorative frame. With the use of key areas of piano paint panel, it looks very delicate. In order to prevent the driver from slipping when holding the steering wheel for a long time, the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions of the steering wheel are also perforated, which makes the grip feel very comfortable. It is worth noting that a camera is installed above the steering column of the steering wheel to realize facial recognition and fatigue driving tips.
10.25 inch LCD display is clear, and the interface is regularly divided into designated areas. The left area is used to display the information of vehicle condition, including driving distance, driving time, average energy consumption, total mileage after last charging and total mileage of vehicles started this time. The interior temperature and driving mode are displayed below the left area. The right area displays multimedia information, remaining cruising range, time and other information.
The size of the central control LCD screen is 14.96 inches, and its internal functions and applications are quite rich. However, through practical experience, the operation process is more complicated, mainly due to the frequent overlap of menu bars, which leads to a certain degree of confusion in the operation logic and a certain learning cost for beginners.
Of course, the playability of the central control screen is almost comparable to that of a tablet computer. In addition to the basic functions such as vehicle status inquiry, automatic parking, air conditioning temperature adjustment, music playing, Bluetooth/phone, etc. displayed on the left side of the screen, you can also download any number of apps, such as videos, music, games, etc., in the application mall after logging into the exclusive account of Tucki, so as to inject temperature into the driving space. For users, although these app applications are far less used than mobile phones, they will never make users feel that this is a monotonous means of transportation.
As mentioned earlier, the "light dance" function of P7 is mainly reflected in the external display screen, while the multi-color atmosphere lights inside make the cockpit more emotional. There are two kinds of indoor ambient lights: monochrome and bicolor. The brightness of the ambient lights can be adjusted through the blue bar above the interface, and various color schemes can meet various driving scenes.
Click the first icon in the main menu bar on the left side of the screen, and a sub-menu bar will pop up in the interface, showing three sliding interfaces: applet, My App and App Store. Among them, in "My Applications", you can find information such as motor, battery and battery life, as well as applications such as camera and vehicle settings.
Click the second icon in the main menu bar on the left side of the screen, which is vehicle status query. First of all, the interface can not only select the driving mode and kinetic energy recovery system, but also adjust the rearview mirror, window and seat. It is worth mentioning that when the vehicle needs to be charged, when connecting the charging port, the user needs to choose the charging method (fast charging/slow charging), otherwise the power supply cannot be connected.
As for the seats and space, the front seats of this P7 are electrically adjustable. Among them, the main driving seat supports the adjustment of front and rear, backrest, height (4 directions) and waist (4 directions), with *** 12 directions, and has the functions of heating, ventilation and seat memory; The co-pilot position supports front and rear, backrest and height (2-way) ***6-way adjustment, and also provides heating function.
Compared with the rich configuration of the front seats, the performance of the P7 rear seats is average. First of all, the rear row is not equipped with any seat-related adjustment buttons, and the space performance is not outstanding. The experiencer with a height of 170 cm sits in the back row, with barely two laps of leg space and only four fingers of head space. So it can also be seen that the priority of P7' s client is the front row.
Because the traditional internal combustion engine is omitted, the front of P7 is equipped with a front reserve box with good depth performance. If users don't have much luggage, they don't need to put things around the trunk of the car, just put them in the front trunk, which saves users' physical costs to some extent.
Affected by the motor layout, the trunk volume of P7 is average, with a maximum of 440 liters, which can only be said to be enough for daily use. Fortunately, the opening angle of the trunk is very large, almost reaching a vertical state of 90 degrees, which is convenient for users to take items from the head of the trunk.
Compared with the previous test drive of Tucki G3, the performance of this P7 in the dynamic link has matured a lot. As usual, let's get familiar with the dynamic parameters of this P7. This rear-drive long-life Extreme Edition model is equipped with a permanent magnet/synchronous single motor with a rear layout. The motor has a maximum power of 196 kW (267 HP), a peak torque of 390 Nm and an acceleration of 6.7 seconds per 100 km. Like most pure electric vehicles, the P7 is also matched with a single-speed gearbox with a fixed transmission ratio.
As for the battery life and battery that everyone cares about, this P7 uses a liquid-cooled and constant-temperature ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 70.8 kW/h and a cruising range of 586 km in NEDC mode. When the charge is from 30% to 80%, the fast charge takes 0.47 hours (about 28 minutes) and the slow charge takes 5.7 hours.
In the static experience, P7' s sci-fi appearance, trendy interior and intelligent configuration of the Internet can easily arouse your interest in driving this P7. But through the overall test drive of P7, it seems that it is not as high as expected. Perhaps, as the person in charge of the original development of P7 said, "This is intentional. P7 itself is the positioning of the family car, representing the real internal demand of most young people for 200,000 yuan pure electric vehicles. Yan value should be able to play, but at the same time it should be comfortable to drive.
In terms of driving, this long-life rear-wheel drive model provides three driving modes, namely sports, economy and standard/comfortable mode. The kinetic energy recovery system also provides high/low gears. What I still remember is that in sports mode, the "throttle" is very sensitive. Driven by the maximum torque of the motor, you can feel the obvious sense of acceleration and pushing back, and the kinetic energy recovery effect is not obvious when the "throttle" is released. This feeling is not like a pure electric car, but closer to the driving experience of a fuel car. In the economy mode, the vehicle will feel much milder, while the standard/comfort is between the two modes.
It is worth mentioning that the brake pedal of this car is greatly relaxed in the early stage, and the initial braking is slowed down by the feedback torque of the motor, and the braking force is very slight. After the oil brake is triggered when you continue to step deeply, you can obviously feel the braking force of sudden intervention, and the action under your feet will be a bit rough, and the brakes will be too strong. There is still room for optimization in the matching of motor and oil brake, and the slightly linear braking performance will be more suitable for home comfortable positioning.
Compared with its control texture, this P7 has excellent vibration filtering performance. In the suspension structure, the independent form of front double wishbone and rear five links is adopted, which will have stronger lateral support, and the body roll is obviously better than other cars of the same class when cornering. In addition, I also noticed that it used Michelin PS4 sports tires, and the road feeling was very clear, accompanied by some tire noise.
Of course, this may also be related to the silence in the car. The design of frameless door reduces the NVH effect in the car to some extent. However, when driving at high speed, except for tire noise and slight wind noise caused by the position of A-pillar, the whole vehicle is still very quiet. In addition, soft suspension adjustment will not bring obvious fatigue to passengers even if they ride for a long time.
abstract
According to the sales data recently released by Tucki officials, the total delivery volume of Xpeng in June 165438+ 10 was 4,224 vehicles, up 342% year-on-year; Before 1 1 month, a total of 2 134 1 set was delivered, an increase of 87%. Among them, Tucki delivered 2,734 vehicles in July, up 30% from the previous month. Although it is difficult to compete with traditional manufacturers in quantity, Tucki still has great potential in terms of growth rate. Combined with the current domestic market development, the new energy field is still regarded as a blue ocean with unlimited prospects. Through the reshuffle of the new energy market in recent years, there are only a handful of new car companies with strong strength so far. Weilai, Ideality and Tucki are all telling the "new strength" of China brand with their own actions. Then, can Tucki brand shake Tesla's "imported" mobile status with P7?
