It is not easy to build a "easy-to-drive" pure electric vehicle.
Whether it is an electric vehicle or an SUV, the vehicle weight has always been an important factor affecting the dynamic performance, and the Tucki P7 with a "weight" of 2.2 tons is also facing the same problem. However, Xpeng Automobile Company doesn't want to muddle through. They hired a Porsche calibration team to work together to overcome this problem, thus making the overall dynamic performance of P7 excellent.
When many people test drive an electric car, what they want to do most is to kick the "switch" to the end and experience the feeling of pushing back and dizziness. Of course, we are no exception. However, when we ejected the Tucki P7 from the static state, we didn't "look up" immediately. It felt like driving a large-displacement supercharged sports car, and the explosive power of 3 16kW and 655n·m was not abrupt. Although the acceleration time of 0- 100km/h is finally fixed at 4.3s, it is still relatively gentle compared with other "high horsepower" electric vehicles.
Immediately after a heavy kick, the braking force is released very evenly, and there is no obvious setback in the connection between electric braking and mechanical braking. However, the braking performance of 37. 17m didn't give me much surprise, because the high-performance version of the four-wheel drive P7 is equipped with the former Brembo four-piston brake and Michelin PS4 tires, so such braking performance can only be said to be its daily operation.
In the next limit winding pile and elk test, P7 with front double wishbone and rear five-bar suspension is quite satisfactory. The chassis has a high integrity, and the degree of roll suppression is decent when approaching the limit. However, in the process of high speed around the pile, the tail will slip slightly, and the subsequent performance is slightly insufficient.
But for real Tucki P7 car owners, what they value more is their daily driving performance. P7 has three driving modes: economy mode, standard mode and sport mode. In economy mode and standard mode, its throttle response is relatively mild and its power release is linear enough. Only in sports mode, you need to control your right foot more accurately.
Different from other electric vehicles, the kinetic energy recovery of Tucki P7 has only two settings: low and high. At low intensity, its sense of deceleration is not much different from that of ordinary gasoline vehicles. Under high intensity, its recovery intensity will not suddenly intervene in the initial stage of energy recovery, but will restore kinetic energy from shallow to deep, so that passengers in the car will not feel dizzy, which is equally commendable.
To our credit, Tucki P7 also suppressed the noise at high speed. Don't forget that it is equipped with sports tires, but neither tire noise nor wind noise has much influence on the car.
Therefore, for a medium-sized electric coupe, the excellent power performance of P7 can not be separated from the painstaking training of Tucki and Porsche team. In fact, in G3, we can appreciate Tucki's efforts in driving, but in P7, it is not disappointing.
Quiet P7, full of "sense of science and technology"
Whether the appearance is good or not has always been a matter of different opinions, but we have to say that when shooting Tucki P7, no fewer than four or five passers-by came forward to find out and threw out the "three questions about eating melons"-what kind of car is this? Charging or burning oil? Look at this, how to get 400,000-500,000? After answering the questions separately, we also have to admit that Tucki P7 has a very high rate of returning.
Entering the car, Tucki's interior can be described as simple. The first thing I noticed was the combination design of 10.25 inch LCD instrument and 14.97 inch central control large screen. Almost all the functions are put on two screens, so the physical buttons naturally disappear. Although the speech recognition rate, sensitivity and resolution of multimedia screen are good, the disadvantage is that vehicle settings such as rearview mirror adjustment, driving mode/kinetic energy recovery selection are all inserted in multi-level menus, which need to be studied before you can gradually get started.
The human-computer interaction function of Tucki P7 also realized people's desire to "try not to do anything if they can talk" in the car. From simple function control such as windows and air conditioning to finding restaurants and staying in hotels, "Little P" can help passengers anywhere in the car.
In fact, another advantage of Tucki P7 in properly controlling NVH is that it can give full play to the excellent sound quality of "Dana" audio. There are as many as 18 speakers in the car, and even the main driver's headrest is equipped with speakers, so that drivers can experience real surround sound without dead ends.
Looking up at the sky, Tucki P7 has adopted the skylight design of panoramic canopy, but its anti-ultraviolet glass is obviously much stronger than G3, and it has been exposed to sunlight at 30℃+ for a long time, and the "oven mode" has not been turned on in the car.
On the whole, Xpeng Motors, as the first student in the new forces corps to hand over the intermediate pure electric vehicle, won the first battle. Coupled with the considerable sales of G3 and the accumulation of users' reputation, we can be optimistic about the future of Tucki P7, but the pressure that comes with it also comes to Weilai and Weimar. Can they hand over a satisfactory answer sheet in the pure electric vehicle market? Let's wait and see.
