In the era of fuel vehicles, hardware is the absolute foundation, but in the new energy era, there are models that can attract people with software. After the Wenjie M5 was launched, everyone was talking about the Hongmeng of this car. system, but don’t forget that this is a car after all. Although Hongmeng is good, it is not everything. The real test of the manufacturer is the adjustment of the mechanical quality of a car.
Wenjie M5 provides three power combinations, including one rear-wheel drive model and two four-wheel drive models. The combined maximum power is 200kW, 315kW and 365kW respectively. , the matching ones are all 1.5T four-cylinder range extenders, with a combined maximum power of 92Kw.
What is interesting is that the maximum power of the front motor of the four-wheel drive model of the Wenjie M5 is 165kW, the maximum power of the rear motor of the low-power version is 150kW, and the maximum power of the rear motor of the high-power version is 150kW. The maximum power is 200kW. We all know that when a vehicle accelerates, the center of gravity moves rearward, and the rear wheels have greater adhesion. Therefore, many four-wheel drive pure electric models have rear motors with greater power, or the front and rear motors have equal power. The Wenjie M5 is larger in the front and smaller in the rear. This is the first time I have seen the configuration.
The test drive this time is the Wenjie M5 four-wheel drive performance version, which is also a four-wheel drive A low-power version, this car has four built-in driving modes: energy saving, comfort, sport and personalized. The range extender can also be adjusted independently, with three modes: pure electric priority, automatic and fuel priority.
When we got this car, the battery was about 80%. In energy-saving or comfort mode, when pure electric priority is given, it drives basically the same as an electric car. In the two modes, the system will not greatly limit the power output, but will lag the power more, making the car drive very "soft". If there is a need for large power in an instant, just press the accelerator pedal to the bottom, and the power reserve will still be lost. Release without mercy.
In comparison, in the comfort mode, this car is more comfortable to drive, the power follows the foot, the kinetic energy recovery intervention is very small, the power output is linear, the accelerator pedal and power output The matching between them is more like the feeling of a fuel vehicle.
The dragging feeling of strong kinetic energy recovery in the economic mode of this car is not obtrusive. If you have never driven an electric vehicle, you can adapt to it in a short time. If you are an in-depth user of electric vehicles, you will get used to it. Without the single-pedal mode, the intensity of this kinetic energy recovery may not be enough to satisfy you.
In the sports mode, the power output obviously feels more alert, but more power output is still concentrated in the middle and rear sections. It still takes a while to press the accelerator pedal deeply until the back pushing feeling comes. time, this slight lag aggravates the excitement.
If the ejection mode is used, the range extender will remain on. The sound of the range extender intervening when the accelerator pedal is pressed deeply is still very obvious. If it is daily driving, try to The experience of using electricity will be better.
Chassis part, questionThe Jie M5 adopts a combination of front double-wishbone independent suspension and rear multi-link non-independent suspension. The chassis feels good overall when driving, and has a strong sense of isolation from small undulations on the road. It can handle large continuous bumps such as speed bumps. It resolves the impact very well, but it is more sensitive to speed. If passing at low speed, the shaking of the car body is still quite obvious. Although this car is a four-wheel drive performance version, at least in terms of the chassis, it feels like it is more about pursuing all aspects, and overall it is more like a compromise in comfort.
As mentioned earlier, the power output adjustment of the Wenjie M5 is a bit like a fuel vehicle, but in fact, the appearance design is more like a fuel vehicle. The trapezoidal air intake grille occupies almost the entire front of the car, and the fog lamp areas on both sides are also relatively large. Coupled with the slender headlights and the raised ribs of the body, it has a bit of a performance car feel.
From the side of the body, the Wenjie M5 has very simple lines, a streamlined body design, hidden door handles, and 20-inch two-color multi-spoke wheels, creating a sporty feel. It took a lot of effort.
The rear part of the car is round and full, using the popular through-type taillight design. Generally speaking, the Wenjie M5 is relatively conservative among new energy models. The body lines are not complicated and there are no exaggerated elements. It is eye-catching. In addition, this design also makes this car suitable for a wider age range.
In the interior of the car, Wenjie M5 maintains the consistent "simple style" of new energy models, with a T-shaped center console, two LCD screens, and almost no buttons. , in order to create a sense of luxury, wood grain decoration is added to the center console, and it is also equipped with stitching decoration.
The central control screen is a 15.6-inch 2K HDR screen. If you are a user of Huawei mobile phones, you will be familiar with it. In fact, the operation is not much different from that of mobile phones. The system silk screen The smoothness is comparable to that of Tesla. The addition of Hongmeng OS allows the seamless flow of information between vehicles and mobile smart terminals such as mobile phones and smart watches. Of course, if you want a perfect experience, you must have a set of Huawei family buckets.
The addition of Hongmeng OS brings a whole new experience to the in-vehicle system of Wenjie M5. This kind of interoperability between devices cannot be achieved on other models. If you For Huawei's deep users, this car is definitely the last big piece of equipment for FamilyMart. Putting aside Hongmeng OS, purely from the perspective of a car, Wenjie M5 still has a lot of merits in terms of power adjustment and chassis. It meets the standard of a model in this price range. For it, Hongmeng OS is The icing on the cake is not a timely help.
