In the past September, Nezha Auto once again defended its sales champion of new forces with a monthly sales of 18,005 units, a year-on-year increase of 134%. It makes people sigh: "The flowing Wei Xiaoli is the iron-clad Nezha"!
For Nezha Automobile today, the market foundation laid by the "U+V" series has a bad market foundation, and the worst is the brand's influence, and this task falls on its medium and large pure electric sedan -Nezha S. According to Zhang Yong, CEO of Nezha Automobile, "Nezha S is the best coupe within 1 million." Although everyone is almost vomiting after hearing the word "million", there is no need to be too serious. Today we will come to the track to see if Nezha S can meet our expectations for a new energy sedan of 250,000?
In fact, the price span of Nezha S is relatively large, with a price of 199,800-338,800 yuan, and two power versions are available for extended-range and pure electric. Of course, the price selection range is quite wide, including BYD Han, Zero-Road C01, and Tesla Model 3, all of which are strong opponents.
However, Nezha S also has its own absolute advantages. In addition to the positioning of medium and large coupes that brings riding space beyond the same level, the creation of a mountain and sea platform brings two power combinations of extended range and pure electric power, as well as the control capabilities granted by the platform, which is also the focus of our test drive of this track.
Fortunately, the author has both tested the extended range version and pure electric version of Nezha S. Let’s talk about the performance part first. The pure electric version has a range of 650 kilometers and is equipped with four-wheel drive. With the support of dual front and rear motors, the maximum power of the vehicle reaches 340Kw, the peak torque is 620Nm, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.9 seconds. In the comfort mode, the acceleration performance is slightly gentle and linear; but in the sports mode, it is like "blowing blood", and the feeling of pushing the back with a deep foot is very strong. If you drive a gas car frequently, you may even feel a brief sense of dizziness, which takes time to adapt.
As for the extended range version, the pure electric range reaches an astonishing 310 kilometers, the maximum CLTC range is 1,160 kilometers, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 6.9 seconds. There is nothing to worry about in terms of power feeling. After all, sacrificing some performance for the battery life is a trade-off that most new energy car owners are willing to make. After multiple rounds of test drives, there was a significant loss of power. At this time, the engine load increased significantly, and the noise transmitted to the car was still relatively obvious. Moreover, in terms of power feedback, it is indeed a discount compared to pure electric models, which is not that direct. However, this also has an advantage, that is, it is not easy to get dizzy.
Let’s talk about chassis control. Since this track itself is an kart track, although the area is not large, it is mostly large angles or even U-shaped turn, which is still very testable for the support of the chassis suspension. Thanks to the independent suspension , 50:50 weight distribution, lower center of gravity and four Michelin PS4 tires, the overall cornering posture is relatively stable. However, if you drive vigorously, the steering feel is still a bit lighter. In addition, the chassis is equipped with a battery pack, so if you use the standards of a sports car, the sitting position is also a bit high.
If judged by the control level of less than one million, Nezha S is actually not quite yet, but judging from the price of around 250,000, it is actually quite rare that such a large body can still maintain good handling. But then again, most consumers who buy Nezha S still pay attention to home use. As long as the battery life is long, the space is enough, and the smart configuration is easy to use, of course, if the control is better, there is no bonus point.
was written at the end
For Nezha S, perhaps its launch is not entirely aimed at volume, but more to enhance the brand's tone, which is also the urgent need for Nezha Auto to stabilize its current market position and impact the first place in new forces. Moreover, from the perspective of the product itself, Nezha S's overall performance exceeded the author's expectations.However, it is easy to "from high to low" and it is more difficult to "from low to high". Next, it depends on Nezha Auto's marketing level!
