Bitauto's original hybrid electric vehicle currently has not many models to choose from on the market. When more and more consumers consider entering the new energy vehicle camp, a short-distance vehicle Hybrid vehicles that can run purely on electric power and can be refueled for long distances have become a good choice now. In fact, many consumers don’t care too much about the technical differences between extended-range hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. What they consider is based on the actual use experience. The M5, an extended-range electric vehicle that has become popular in the past six months, does The harvest of word of mouth has arrived. At around the price point of 300,000 yuan, another newcomer has recently been welcomed: Ziyoujia NV, priced at 278,800-318,800 yuan. They are also new power brands, and they also have extended-range hybrid versions available. These two How do the trolleys compare? This article tells you the answer

Model introduction and competition between two new power models

Because both cars are considered new power brand models, many consumers don’t know much about them, so before starting the comparison, let’s give a brief introduction to these two models.

Wenjie M5 is an extended-range hybrid medium-sized SUV launched by the AITO brand, with a price range of 259,800-331,800 yuan. However, because many aspects of the vehicle are closely related to Huawei, the car has attracted unprecedented attention, and its sales have also improved significantly in recent months. The range extender of the Wenjie M5 is a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, with dual-motor and single-motor versions available.

Ziyoujia NV is the first model launched by Niu Electric Vehicles to enter the field of new energy vehicles. It is manufactured by Dacheng Motors. The new car is positioned as a medium-to-large SUV, with pure electric and extended-range versions to choose from. The extended-range version is priced at 288,800 yuan. The range extender uses Dongfeng’s C15TDR series 1.5T four-cylinder engine.

This time, we will select the Wenjie M5 four-wheel drive extreme version and the Ziyoujia NV extended range version for comparison.

Exterior and interior design, each appearance has its own style. Wenjie M5 vehicle-machine system won

Let’s talk about the design first. In fact, there is a lot to say about the design of these two cars. The Wenjie M5 adopts relatively rounded styling lines, with inverted L-shaped daytime running lights and inverted T-shaped running lights. There is no problem with the grille, but the headlights are not equipped with lenses and they look less energetic.

From the side of the vehicle, the Wenjie M5 is a medium-sized SUV with a body length of 4770mm and a wheelbase of 2885mm. The size is not large, and the lines on the side of the vehicle do not have a particularly sharp design. The sense of power is quite good, but it is a pity that there is no luggage rack on the roof, which will be troublesome for consumers who like camping.

The rear of the vehicle uses through-type taillights. Overall, there are some design elements that are quite satisfactory. The originality is good, but many design elements are indeed not novel and lack of eye-catching features. Feel.

As for Ziyoujia NV, the new car looks quite unique at first glance. Ziyoujia NV incorporates Urban Exploring city and exploration fusion style, and the overall shape looks very tough. Among them, the most recognizable thing on the front face is the dual-track annular daytime running lights, which are linked together by the light bar running through the center grille. When lit, it looks very retro. On both sides of the daytime running lights are LED integrated headlights with high and low beams. Together with the Jeep-like five-hole air intake grille in the center and the raised hood lines, they all have attributes that are close to that of a hardcore SUV. Many people say that this car looks like a pure electric version of the Haval Big Dog at first glance. I think that the classic elements of retro hardcore off-road vehicles are actually relatively similar, but the details of this car are quite good.

The body size of Ziyoujia NV reaches 4915/1962/1755mm, and the wheelbase is 2910mm. It is positioned as a medium and large SUV. In terms of size, it is larger than the Wenjie M5. , especially the advantage of body height. And because Ziyoujia NV is a two-row, five-seater model, the 2910mm wheelbase means thatCompared with the Wenjie M5, it will have better rear space performance and trunk space performance.

The side of Ziyoujia NV looks stronger due to its larger body size. In terms of wheels, Ziyoujia NV uses 20-inch wheels with tire size of 225/ 55 R20, the visual effect will look more harmonious than the 19-inch wheels of Wenjie M5.

At the rear of the vehicle, the Ziyoujia NV will be more distinctive and recognizable than the Wenjie M5. Although through-type taillights are also used, the taillights are treated with breakpoints. Above is the NIUTRON brand logo. The rear bumper of the vehicle is made of all-black engineering plastic, adding a touch of wildness.

As for the interior, the interior lines of the Wenjie M5 are actually relatively conventional, with a T-shaped center console + a large floating center control screen, which feels fresh but easy to use. No problem. This is mainly due to the fact that Wenjie M5 has indeed achieved the current top level in terms of vehicle-machine system usage experience. The interior materials are excellent, and the soft leather and wood grain veneer decoration feel good to the touch.

Although Ziyoujia NV also uses a T-shaped center console and a large vertical screen, the frame is relatively thick, and the car-machine system can meet basic usage functions. The size of the vertical control screen is 15.6 inches, which is the same as that of the Wenjie M5. However, due to the proportion problem, the appearance is relatively ordinary. The car uses NIUTRON OS and Carpaly dual systems. It may be that it is not confident in its own system and has access to the CarPlay function.

In terms of space, although the Wenjie M5 has the size of a mid-sized SUV and good wheelbase parameters, the actual experience is not very good - the experiencer with a height of 178cm is in the front row. There is about two fistfuls of headroom, and two fistfuls of leg and headroom in the rear row, which are not much different from many compact SUVs. The reason is that the rear suspension of the Wenjie M5 uses a multi-link suspension, coupled with a larger battery pack, it is difficult to deal with the air.There is some intrusion into the space.

Ziyoujia NV has one punch of space in the front and more than two punches in the rear, but it is obviously a bit larger than the Wenjie M5. However, it is still slightly smaller than fuel vehicles with similar wheelbase parameters in the same class.

Comparison of power & configuration, the Wenjie M5 is better

In terms of power, both cars use a combination of 1.5T four-cylinder range extender + front and rear dual motors. The range extender technology route means that the range extender serves as a power generation component throughout the entire process. Thermal efficiency and system logic determine fuel economy; the electric motor is the main source of power for the vehicle.

The front and rear motors of Wenjie M5 can output a maximum power of 165/200kW. The total power of the system reaches 365kW, the maximum torque reaches 675N·m, and the acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is 4.6S. The fuel consumption in the electric state is 6.78L/100km, and the comprehensive range of full fuel and full battery under WLTC operating conditions reaches 1100km+.

Ziyoujia NV is inferior in this regard. Although it is also configured with dual motors at the front and rear, the maximum power of the front motor is 130kW and the peak torque is 300N·m; the maximum power of the rear motor is The power is 140kW and the maximum torque is 226N·m. The comprehensive power of the system is 270kW and the maximum torque is 526N·m. The front and rear motors are both permanent magnet synchronous motors.

It is precisely because the power performance of the motor has a certain gap compared to the Wenjie M5. Therefore, Ziyoujia NV’s official acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is 5.9 seconds, and the fuel consumption in the power-depleted state is 6.8L/100km (WLTC). Judging from the book data, there is a certain gap between the power performance and the Wenjie M5, and the power loss and fuel consumption of the two are not even close.

However, what needs to be mentioned here is that under the same WLTC operating conditions, the Wenjie M5 has a full battery life of more than 1100km, while the Ziyoujia NV has a comprehensive range of 939km - the former has a fuel tank capacity of 56L, and the latter Reaching 60L, this data can show that the Wenjie M5 can achieve a very low fuel consumption level when the battery still has a certain amount of power.

Battery part, both cars are equipped with ternary lithium batteries. The battery capacity of Wenjie M5 is 40kWh, which can support pure electric driving of 180km; while the battery of Ziyoujia NV The capacity is 31kWh, and the pure electric cruising range under WLTC operating conditions is 150km. Both cars support fast charging and slow charging, but in terms of external discharge power, Ziyoujia NV can output 6kW of emergency power (for rescue charging) and 3.3kW of scene power, while Wenjie M5 can output 3.5kW.

In terms of configuration, the price of both cars is close to 300,000 yuan, and they are equipped with conventional configurations, such as 6 airbags, L2 driving assistance system, panoramic image, full speed Adaptive cruise, electric tailgate, etc., including front seat heating, ventilation, massage and other comfort configurations. The configuration difference between the two cars is not big, mainly focusing on the comfort differences in some details: for example, the Wenjie M5 has an additional fragrance system, 128-color ambient lights, and NFC keys; while the Ziyoujia NV has an additional front row seat. Leg rests, rear seat ventilation, and steering auxiliary light functions in the light cluster. Generally speaking, the configuration of the two cars is at the same level.

Full text summary: Wenjie M5 has maintained good sales and popularity since its launch, and its sales in the range-extended field only lags behind that of the Ideal ONE. However, with the As more players enter the field, the competition becomes more intense. Judging from the above comparisons, Wenjie M5 has obvious advantages over Ziyoujia NV mainly in terms of power, engine system, fuel economy, etc., but it has certain disadvantages in space, size, and design. But don’t forget that Wenjie M5 is endorsed by the Huawei brand. Although Huawei’s involvement in vehicle development is not very high, Huawei is involved in the motor, smart cockpit, and sales channels, which can virtually give consumers more confidence. As can be seen from the Bitauto popularity list, the market popularity of Wenjie M5 is still far higher than that of Ziyoujia NV. If it were you, which one would you choose?
