【Car Purchase Experience】
I originally drove a Changan second-generation 55plus, which had no issues, but the fuel consumption was a bit high. In Songyuan, Jilin, it basically cost around 1 yuan per kilometer in winter. I actually intended to buy the Qiyuan A05, but on impulse, I upgraded to the UNI-V directly (in fact, when I bought the 55, I was waiting for the UNI-V to be launched, but it was delayed, so this can be considered a dream come true).
【Space Performance】
As I just mentioned, I was going for the A05, so I need to talk about the seats.
Seat Cushion: To be honest, the integrated sports seats have strong wrapping, but they are short and not very soft. If it's purely for family use, this needs to be considered.
Rear Row: The space is also sufficient. A colleague who is about 185cm tall and weighs around 200 jin said that apart from the headroom, everything else is okay.
Trunk: The depth is greater than the original 55, but the vertical height is much less. However, it's够用. It definitely holds less than an SUV, after all, it's a hatchback.
【Exterior】
It has a rear spoiler, body kit, hatchback design, and central exhaust. Overall, it's quite handsome, but the only drawback is the grille. It has a technological feel but is not as aggressive as fuel-powered cars; it doesn't look fierce enough.
【Charging Time】
Here in Songyuan, Jilin, the temperature has risen these days. A few days before picking up the car, it was around -15°C, and now it's within -10°C. Fast charging from about 20% to over 80% takes roughly 30-45 minutes. I haven't tried slow charging yet, after all, fast charging isn't expensive at 0.701 yuan per kWh.
【Range and Energy Consumption】
Highway: I drove on the highway, with a one-way highway distance of about 180 km and city driving of about 20 km. The total cost was 141 yuan for gasoline and 15 yuan for electricity. The highway speed was around 110 km/h (the car was very stable on the highway).
City: When the temperature is low (around -10°C), with both the heater and seat heating on, pure electric driving costs roughly between 0.15 yuan and 0.4 yuan per kilometer. Frequent short trips are very energy-consuming.
When the battery is low, the fuel consumption is approximately 5.5-7, with a maximum of 7. After all, there's fast charging, so I rarely use fuel. I'll test it again when the temperature rises; the heater is really power-hungry.
PS: Just use the intelligent mode; the computer's calculation is definitely better than the human brain. As for battery degradation, the manufacturer covers it, so just drive it.
【Driver Assistance】
Integrated adaptive cruise is really useful on the highway, haha.
Turn off lane centering in the city because it vibrates even on dashed lines; just turn it off. Use integrated adaptive cruise directly on the highway.
Points to complain about or remind everyone:
1. The front passenger seat has no ventilation or heating; even heating would be nice.
2. The Continental MC6 tires have noticeable road noise. If you're sensitive to noise, you can replace the tires directly.
