Foreword: We have already analyzed the various "volumes" caused by the post-launch of the Star Atlas Star Era, and the foothold falls on the cost performance. So, the pre-sale ** volume, does it cause potential customers to question: Will the product power of Star Era ES be discounted?Will it be like some new forces just like a machine-building goods?
So, we will present the experience of participating in the test drive of the Star Era ES venue to you to see if this car is enough in terms of product power, and how many volumes there are.
Where is the brilliance?
There have been press conferences and auto shows, and the curtain of mystery presented by the static display of Star Era ES has been opened.
The overall look, the biggest experience is the proportions and lines. The bottom width and large oblique back are the key points, especially the most difficult side lines, which are quite smooth. The highlight of the front face is the lamp, which is also the mainstream practice in the industry. In addition to light strips and light languages, there are also ISD interactive lights. Also the sentence: "You have me, I have everything".
The highlight of the rear is the electric rear wing, in addition to the continuous taillights. And this rear wing has two gears. Turn on the first gear when the speed reaches 90 km/h, and turn on the second gear when the speed exceeds 110 km/h. I usually want to drive it, okay?Of course, otherwise how can we shoot?It can be controlled through the central control screen, or it can be controlled by voice and mobile phone APP, which is a very dazzling small function.
When it comes to the car, I don't think the size, narrow edges, colors, visual effects, and even responsiveness of the screen need to be laid out anymore. In these aspects, 200,000+ Chinese brand models have done a good job. UI is also ok. Because the screen is large enough, the layout can be done very scientifically, and the click module is also very large, which is suitable for blind operation. Commonly used air conditioners, seats, navigation, etc., are all arranged at the bottom of the screen with one key to reach, which is very convenient.
That's not the point. When driving, what is more practical is the easy-to-use voice control. The actual experience, regardless of the response speed, speech recognition rate, language comprehension, multi-region recognition accuracy, etc., is well optimized. And it supports full-time wake-up free, and the function can be said to be visible. In short, this is a set of easy-to-use and desirable voice features. It's just limited to the presentation of **, and this aspect is still waiting for our test drive**.
The mobile phone bit under the screen, 50W wireless supercharging, with heat dissipation, and a delicate cover, is very carefully designed. Two points on the steering wheel. One is the steering wheel itself, the two are very trendy, and the design of the two wheels is simple enough. In fact, with a large screen and intelligent voice, the multi-function steering wheel that is full of various buttons and requires repeated muscle training to operate blindly is already outdated. Another point is the small instrument screen and HUD behind the steering wheel. The small screen is also very delicate and gorgeous, the size is just right, and the key information displayed is also the most often concerned. For more information, you can see the HUD, the ergonomics are good.
The next key word is "comfort". This is the core selling point of Star Era ES. In fact, it does a good job as well. Several aspects:
The first is the overall texture. Needless to say, the tonality is well created. It is not only advanced, but no longer a local tyrant who designs too hard.
The second is space. Although the body is low, the internal clear height is not low, and coupled with the width advantage, the lateral comfort is very good. Needless to say, the portrait is not to mention. The legroom in the rear row is "purely Chinese", which is by no means comparable to the space of the Model 3 Xpeng P7.
The third is seat comfort. All I can say is that my subjective feeling is very comfortable, and it belongs to the kind of high-end chair that has been created with thought and materials. Of course, the seat functions are also rich enough, what heating, ventilation, massage, etc., everyone knows, so I won't go into details.
What's so good about a fully matched chassis?
In the analysis of whether the Star Era ES can play, we have interpreted its chassis in detail: not only with double wishbones, but also with double ball joint double wishbones;Not only is it equipped with an air suspension as standard, but also with a CDC as standard. Whether this kind of full-spec chassis just "looks good on the data" is actually the focus of our test drive.
That's right, the most important part of the dynamic part of the Star Era ES field test drive is this fully equipped chassis. The organizers of the event also set up various test scenarios for us very "to their liking", which can also show Xingtu's confidence in the ES chassis of the Star Era.
First of all, we have to explain why Xingtu also equips the Star Era ES with CDC when the air suspension has the ability to adjust the softness and hardness of the suspension. CDC belongs to electromagnetic damping and damping system, and its advantage is that the response speed is fast, which belongs to the millisecond level. So two scenarios. One is a small vibration of the short wave fast frequency, which can change very quickly. The other is the handling scene, when there is a sudden sharp turn, or an emergency evasion, the suspension will immediately provide strong support, thereby suppressing roll, which not only improves cornering performance, but also reduces passenger discomfort. At the same time, due to the large adjustment amplitude, the absorption capacity of the air suspension for large wave vibrations is far from comparable to that of oil spring suspension. In addition, the air suspension can be actively adjusted in height. Corresponding to the Star Era ES, when encountering a bad road, it can actively hang too high by up to 50mm, which is comparable to a city SUV, and at high speeds, it can actively lower up to 10mm, so that the center of gravity of the car is lower and the stability is higher.
To tell the truth, we don't know if we have tried to lower the 10mm, but we have experienced the lifting of the 50mm, which can indeed make us more down-to-earth in the face of ditches and bumps.
Of course, the focus is on the performance of this set of hangings in different scenes. First of all, the traditional pile winding link, the inhibition of roll is really powerful. This quickly reminded me of the Cadillac that used to be advertised as electromagnetic suspension, and I felt close.
This is followed by a variety of scenarios. The most profound experience is going down the stairs. The car went down the stairs, and it was also thanks to the organizers that they could come up with it. But the Star Era es is really well done.
Then there's this scenario of a continuous bumpy road section. Although I expected it to perform well, I didn't expect it to be so good. I have the impression that this kind of experience should only be possible in a car with a magic carpet suspension function. The actual experience is that the bumps on the road are really almost all digested. The continuous wave road surface is actually a test of the responsiveness of the suspension. The undulation of the body is inevitable, and the key is that the response of the suspension is very timely throughout the process, so that the swing amplitude of the body is well suppressed.
Since it is a test arranged by the organizers, there will be no suspense about all the results, but looking at the posture completed by Star Era ES, combined with the experience of driving in the car, it will still make people have an inexplicable love for air suspension.
Of course, there are acceleration projects, 3The probability of a 7-second acceleration is also true. It's just that this kind of test that makes the human brain congested with one foot of the electric door has been a bit tired since the arrival of the pure electric era, and it is more like a routine experience.
It's quiet. During the test drive of the track session, when the speed was running, the quietness of the Star Era ES car was better than expected. I guess it's due to two factors. One is the almost universally known 0205cd ultra-low drag coefficient. The other is the quiet engineering of the whole vehicle, such as the use of double-layer silent glass although the door is frameless.
If I had to summarize the dynamic part, I would probably describe it like this. In the era of pure electric vehicles, acceleration no longer seems to be at the center of consideration. And acceleration was often seen as the soul of sportiness in the past, so it seems to have become an innate quality for pure electric cars. Coupled with the CDC suspension of the Star Era ES, the air suspension of the high-speed lowerable chassis, and the spoiler, it makes it even more sporty. In other words, with the foundation of Star Journey, Star Era ES focuses on sports, and there will be no loss if you go to the death with Extreme Krypton 001.
However, Xingtu has chosen another strategy, which is to invest more in playing the comfort card when the "naturally" sportiness is very good - the ride is comfortable, the chassis is comfortable, and the quietness is comfortable. This is a very flattering thing to do, because comfort is what you need. Even if you are a race car driver, you need to be comfortable driving.
So in the dynamic ring, the Star Era ES should be able to get a very high score in the minds of most test drivers.
Ending: To be continued.
Seeing this, there are many volumes of the product power of Star Era ES, and everyone should have a good number. Why do you say "probably"?Because of the limited conditions, the highlight of intelligence has not yet had a chance to be savored. There is no way, especially the experience of intelligent driving, which requires long-distance and long-term repeated experience, and even requires the owner to use the car for a period of time before he can have a real feeling. Although we can see from the hardware, official announcement and preliminary experience of Star Era ES that it is likely to be satisfactory in this regard, it still needs to be tested by further test drives in the future. There is also the intelligence of the car machine, with the functionality of the existing industry standard, it also needs to be experienced for a long time, and the short test drive activity can only be "superficial". So we ended our test drive with a "To be continued" subheading. I look forward to the opportunity to further experience after the launch of Star Era ES.
