Whether it is the era of fuel vehicles or the rise of new energy vehicles, 15-200,000 yuan is the mainstream price of consumers buying cars. It's just that at this stage, there are not many pure electric SUVs with a price of about 150,000 yuan mainly for family users, and the BYD Song PLUS EV is one of the few models that performs well.
But with the arrival of the Kia EV5, there is another strong player on the market, 14The starting price of 980,000 yuan makes many domestic models embarrassed, and at the same time, the ultra-high quality-price ratio advantage also makes the Song Plus EV feel pressure.
Since the entry-level model of the BYD Song PLUS EV is priced at 16980,000 yuan, so we choose 15The 980,000 yuan Kia EV5 530 Air model is compared, and let's take a look at who is the most preferred 150,000-level family pure electric SUV between these two models.
Whose design is more pleasing?
Although buying a car depends on the comprehensive performance, the appearance is the first step to impress consumers. In terms of appearance, both cars have a futuristic design, but the stylistic differences are more obvious. The Kia EV5 follows Kia's new design concept of "opposites united", with a modern interpretation of the iconic tiger-roaring front face, plus the use of a large number of straight lines and a full-bodied, three-dimensional body shape, creating a simple, capable and tough design.
The overall shape of the Song Plus EV is also remarkable, with the design concept of marine aesthetics giving it a softer and more fashionable look, while the soft and smooth line design also forms a strong contrast with the Kia EV5. It's just that BYD's marine aesthetic design has been applied to many models of the ocean network, and everyone has some aesthetic fatigue about it, which is not as fresh as Kia EV5's capable, wide and tough design language, so in terms of appearance, Song PLUS EV suffers a little bit.
Whose interior is more technological?
Inside, the two cars also have their own characteristics, the Kia EV5 continues the tough exterior style, and the Song Plus EV is still simple and soft. However, in terms of creating a scientific and technological atmosphere, the 27-inch integrated triple screen equipped with EV5 is far more shocking than the combination of Song Plus EV full LCD instrument and floating central control screen.
Moreover, the Kia EV5 is also equipped with the latest generation of Kia's first-generation CCNC intelligent connected entertainment system applied in China, providing dual-tone voice control, CarLife wireless CarPlay, on-board WeChat, Aiquting and other localized applications, which changes the criticism that the joint venture model's car machine system is not easy to use. The Song Plus EV does not have the above features in all models.
As for the seats, the Kia EV5 uses a mix of fabric + leather seats, and the texture and comfort are not inferior to the leather seats of the Song Plus EV, and the Kia EV5 is also equipped with richer electric adjustment of the main and co-driver and the heating function of the front seats, which are also places that the Song PLUS EV cannot compare.
In addition, as a family pure electric SUV, Kia EV5 fully considers the health of the people in the car, and the cockpit uses 10 essential sustainable health and environmental protection materials such as benzene-free paint and plant-based materials, covering the central control, glove box, door guard, ceiling, carpet, trunk, seat weaving, headrest stitching, etc., and also applies drying and antibacterial procedures to create a healthy and environmentally friendly cockpit for mothers and infants.
The interior of the Song Plus EV is made of ordinary leather and plastic, and the materials are relatively simple and have not been environmentally friendly, although it is equipped with PM25 filtration system, but no negative ion purification, the air quality in the car is slightly inferior to EV5.
Who has a higher quality-to-price ratio?
In the past, people bought cars to look at the cost performance, but now, people also have to look at the "quality-price ratio", that is, under the same **, the higher the quality of the model, the higher the "quality-price ratio" index. Through comparison, we found that the Kia EV5 not only has an obvious cost-effective advantage in the competition with the Song Plus EV, but also has an outstanding quality-price ratio.
For example, if it is less than 160,000 yuan, you can buy the middle configuration of the Kia EV5, but the Song Plus EV entry model costs nearly 170,000 yuan, and the Kia EV5 is not only 10,000 yuan cheaper than it, but also very generous. For example, the healthy and environmentally friendly materials for the interior mentioned above, and the Carlife wireless CarPlay function that consumers like at present, are also all equipped one by one. In addition, in terms of space and three-electric comparison, the advantages of the Kia EV5 are also incomparable to the Song PLUS EV, so let's take a look at it.
Whose space is more practical?
Since you want to buy an SUV, the interior space must be a point of great concern to everyone. The Kia EV5 and Song Plus EV are pure electric SUVs that focus on family use, and space is naturally the main selling point to please consumers. Both models are compact SUVs, and they also have their own advantages in terms of body size, such as the Kia EV5 car is up to 1715mm, which is 55mm more than the Song Plus EV, so the headroom is more abundant, while the Song Plus EV performs better in length, width and wheelbase, and the legroom performance will be better, but from the actual riding experience, the two are not much different.
And in terms of storage capacity, the Kia EV5 is even better. While the trunk of the 513L is slightly smaller than that of the Song Plus EV, it also has a 67L front trunk, so there is more storage space. In addition, the rear seats of the Kia EV5 can be folded flat at 0°, bringing the maximum expansion volume of 1718L, and the seats can be folded down to form a completely flat state with a depth of up to 2 meters, which can not only be installed but also directly slept on.
Not only that, but the Kia EV5 is also equipped with a storage compartment under the peninsula-style center console, hidden hooks, 5Practical configurations such as 4L** drawers, trunk storage partitions, and detachable multi-function hooks in the trunk further enrich the storage space of the vehicle. The 530 LAND version also offers a trunk multi-scene expansion table that can be quickly transformed into a table, which allows for better placement of items when camping, which is sorely lacking in the Song Plus EV.
In addition, the rear seat backrest of Kia EV5 also supports backrest adjustment, which can be adjusted up to 10 degrees, which can effectively improve ride comfort, and the intelligent induction electric tailgate supports induction electric opening, which further improves the convenience of using the car, which is also the lack of Song Plus EV in terms of comfort and convenience configuration.
Whose "three electrics" are more reliable?
BYD has accumulated deep experience due to its early development of new energy, especially its self-developed blade battery, which is even more famous. However, as a global car company, Kia can develop rapidly as soon as it enters the new energy vehicle track by virtue of its advantages in car manufacturing technology, R&D investment, and global resources.
As a result, the e-GMP platform for the Kia EV5 is a new technology-intensive new pure electric platform with the highest level in the world, and it is also equipped with a new PE system that includes a new electric motor, reducer, inverter and battery for the motor control for the next generation of electric vehicles, as well as Kia's EV6, which has won the "2022 European Car of the Year", "2023 North American Car of the Year", and "2023 World Performance Car" Three world-class awards, outstanding strength.
Therefore, we compare and find that equipped with 64The 2 kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery pack is equipped with a range ratio of 71 for the Kia EV5The Song Plus EV with an 8 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack has a longer range, faster charging time, and better power performance, as shown in the figure below.
It is worth mentioning that the three standard endurance models currently launched by Kia EV5 are all equipped with a unified three-electric system, so consumers can enjoy the same three-electric system as the high-end models even if they buy the first-door version of the EV5, which is very kind. It can be said that the Kia EV5, which is based on the Kia e-GMP platform, is not inferior to the BYD E 3 in terms of three electric vehiclesThe Song PLUS EV built on the 0 platform.
In addition, the Kia EV5 adopts a front MacPherson + rear five-link independent suspension structure, and has a 50:50 front and rear axle-to-load ratio, which can have a good suppression of the body bump frequency and tossing amplitude when dealing with unfriendly road conditions, and passengers in the car will not feel dizzy.
At the same time, the power output is also good, the acceleration is relatively fast, the steering is flexible and clear, and the brake nodding phenomenon is less, which is very friendly to novice drivers. The Song Plus EV has no proportional weight distribution, and the driving experience is more comfortable at home, which is slightly inferior to the overall driving pleasure of the Kia EV5's chassis tuning.
Write at the end
In the process of comparing the Kia EV5 530 Air model with the Song Plus EV luxury model, the Kia EV5 530 Air model is ahead of the BYD Song Plus EV in terms of healthy and environmentally friendly materials, storage space, intelligent comfort and convenient configuration, and three electric vehicles, and the ultra-high comprehensive quality-price ratio makes the Kia EV5 the best choice for the 150,000 joint venture family pure electric SUV, what do you think?
