All the time, many friends have told me that Geometry A has a very solid battery life. I am also very curious about the magic of this car, so many people have given it such a high evaluation.
Moreover, Geometry A Pro has a battery life of 600 kilometers (NEDC operating conditions). Knowing that this is a compact car, I am very curious about how Geometry A Pro does this.
So, taking advantage of Beijing’s current autumn holiday and the opportunity to visit Gubei Water Town , we conducted a simple test on the battery life of Geometry A Pro.
Next, get in the car and go.
The battery life is solid and impressive.
starts with the battery life that I care about very much.
Briefly talk about our route. The route we chose from this time is to drive all the way from Sohu Building to Gubei Water Town without charging, and then drive back the next day.
When I first got the car, it showed a battery life of 545 kilometers, and the outbound distance was about 140 kilometers, so I didn't panic at all.
At the very beginning, driving in an urban area, there is actually a bit of congestion on the road, and the weather is also very hot. These conditions are actually not friendly to the battery life of electric vehicles, but Geometry A Pro controls the energy consumption at 12.3kWh/100km . This performance is really good.
Moreover, according to the teacher in the same car, when they tested the old geometry A last year, the energy consumption was almost the same.
Although this number is similar, you should know that this time the battery capacity has reached 70kWh, which is 8.1 kWh more than before. This also means that the weight of the car will also increase, but the total The energy consumption has remained the same. It has to be said that the low-key geometric three-electric team is very powerful.
waited until the Miyun service area, it showed that the battery life dropped to 458 kilometers,The power-off mileage is 87 kilometers, and the actual mileage is 81.9 kilometers at this time, and the power-off ratio (actual mileage / power-off mileage) is 1:1.06.
When I arrived at Gubei Water Town, the cruising range reached 376 kilometers, the power-off mileage was 169 kilometers, and the actual mileage was 148.90 kilometers, and the power-off ratio came to 1/1.135, this The performance is still very good.
With this sample, the return journey is more than 100 kilometers without panic.
The next day we did not charge, and we went straight from Gubei Water Town back to the city. In the end, the battery life was 231 kilometers.
Converted, we actually drove 285 kilometers in these two days, and the power-off mileage was 314 kilometers, the difference was only 29 kilometers.
This performance is really impressive.
Fundamentals: still familiar
After talking about battery life, let's talk about the car.
From the appearance point of view, there is not much difference between Geometry A Pro and the old Geometry A. The dual-color body may be the most obvious change that can be captured at a glance.
Geometry A Pro still feels simple and crisp, but the appearance of this thing is that the benevolent sees the benevolent, and the wise sees wisdom, so I won’t go into too much detail here.
However, in the interior, Geometry A Pro is obviously richer.
In the interior, the old Geometry A has a relatively plain color. Whether it is the steering wheel or the center console or the seat, the color is mainly Mainly gray, white and black, the overall style and appearance are consistent, and they are all based on simplicity. However, this version of the interior is not highly rated by users, and I think this is also the reason why geometry needs to be adjusted.
Geometry A Pro interior is visually warmer than the old model,Mainly use black, white, and blue stitching, and the seat has also been changed from fabric to PVC suede, which has improved comfort and good support.
Compared to the old models, I prefer the interior style of this version.
The central control area is still the familiar E-touch, and the buttons can be projected onto the panel. It does improve the sense of technology a bit, but it is still the old problem. If the buttons are basically unclear under strong light, it will affect Use experience.
In terms of power, Geometry A Pro is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 310Nm, which is slightly higher than the old 120kW and 250Nm.
is actually very flexible when driving, and it is very handy. This is a pleasant surprise, and the geometric A Pro suspension performs well in filtering fine roads, and the road feel on bumpy roads is clearer.
has one thing to vomit is its brakes. The design is too sensitive and it is easy to nod. It took another teacher in the same class to gradually adapt to its brakes.
This car provides three modes: ECO+, ECO and SPORT, but it is generally not recommended to use ECO+, because in this mode, many things are restricted, such as power, air conditioning and HUD, etc., daily Using ECO is sufficient.
If you want to be willful occasionally, you can switch to the SPORT gear. The whole car is like a different personality, and the valve response becomes more flexible. Correspondingly, the power consumption will be higher.
How intelligent is it?
As an automotive media focusing on smart technology, the smart performance of this car is naturally the focus of our attention.
First, the part I am most interested in: assisted driving. The assisted driving of Geometry A Pro is only available in the two models with the highest battery life of 600 kilometers.Functions include ICC intelligent piloting, LKA lane keeping, and road traffic sign recognition.
Let me first conclude: this is a set of available assisted driving system.
First of all, from the start-up logic, Geometry A Pro's assisted driving does not use one-key start-up similar to other car companies. The activation method is relatively complicated, requiring multi-step operations on the steering wheel buttons, and the cost of getting started is relatively high.
After the function is turned on, the steering wheel will continue to fine-tune to correct its trajectory. This may not give people much confidence in use.
However, it is worth mentioning that Geometry A Pro handles the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle in front of the traffic jam very well, the response is timely and the acceleration and deceleration is well controlled. This is a good point.
After you turn on the assisted driving function, relevant information will also be displayed on the front HUD , such as the current speed, the front speed limit, and speeding reminders. The advantage of this is that your eyes are always focused on The road ahead improves driving safety. Moreover, even though the sun was very dazzling that day, the display effect was still very good.
Although the instrument is still an ancestral 5-inch small screen, you will not feel uncomfortable at all, because it is enough for use and the size is right. It will not affect your sight. Moreover, there is a HUD in front of you. You provide information.
Even I think that in the future Geometry can try to remove this small instrument, add these costs to the HUD, and replace it with a more advanced AR HUD (augmented reality head-up display system).
And voice assistant has a high recognition sensitivity and accuracy. Even the sound of the broadcast is not so mechanical, and there is a taste of the emotional assistant that is being promoted by new forces now.
If you want to achieve more car control functions,You need to log in to your account to achieve this. This time because it was a test drive, I didn't experience it. Next time I will definitely:)
In short, at this stage, Geometry A Pro's car and machine competitiveness is not bad.
Summary
In April 2019, Geometry A (410km endurance, 500km endurance) was launched, two years later, in April 2021, Geometry A Pro (430km endurance, 600km endurance) was launched on the basis of improved battery life , The price has dropped, from 15W-19W to the current 11.87W-18.87W.
The entry price is directly pulled from 15W to about 120,000 (118,700), and even less than 150,000 can buy Geometry A Pro with a battery life of 600km. At that time, 150,000 can only buy the entry-level Geometry A. Even the battery life is only 410km.
suddenly remembered the slogan given by Geometry Auto at the time of listing: "Geometry A Pro is seriously listed." This time it was indeed full of sincerity.
But one thing to mention is that the current Geometry car team is still too low-key, the volume is not high, and the user’s brand awareness is not strong enough, so it’s important to do a good job of publicity and enhance users’ brand awareness of Geometry. The next top priority.
